Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 917 Easter Egg Chapter [End! 】

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "We see that your last question was not very good, and it was also impassioned. Why can't you talk about the small issues of the operation of the court and the governance of the country?"

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Hao Guangming was speechless.

Still a small problem?

Obviously it's a big problem.

After thinking for a while, he said: "My wife has been an emperor, why don't you let her explain it to you?"

"Can she do it as a woman?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked suspiciously.

At this time, Auntie Zhu came over and interjected, "Taizu, please remove the 'ma', the territory of Daming under my sister's rule is more than a dozen of your current ones, maybe more.

When she was in power, Daming was rich all over the world, blessed all nations, known as the empire on which the sun never sets, and it could be said to be extremely prosperous.

When you ask her about governing the country, it is like a small overseas country coming to ask you about governing the country. Do you think she can speak well? "

Apparently, Aimee Zhu couldn't see how Zhu Yuanzhang underestimated the woman, so she purposely spoke aggressively to annoy him.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry at all, but showed a longing look, "The sky is blessed with all nations, and it is said that the sun never sets? Okay, let her talk about it."

With Aimee Zhu's heart and bearing, she would not get angry over such a trivial matter.

She replaced Hao Guangming's position with a smile, and said: "The Taizu didn't know something. The operation and governance of the imperial court in later generations actually relied on science, which is called scientific governance."

"Science governing the country?"

"That's right." Aunt Zhu nodded, "In later generations, the functions of various departments in the imperial court were more subdivided, which made the officials more professional, and the corresponding officials rarely served as officials across specializations.

First of all, the general, political, legal and supervisory departments of later imperial courts were separated, but under the Government Affairs Council in charge of government affairs, there were civil affairs, finance, justice, diplomacy, manpower, commerce, transportation, water conservancy, industry, education, agriculture and animal husbandry, technology, banking, There are more than [-] ministries such as auditing and reform!
The military, legal and supervisory departments are also calculated separately.

In the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court only had six ministries under its jurisdiction, and even counting the five temples, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the five military governors' offices, there were only a dozen institutions in total. "

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but interrupted: "Descendants, we also know that the more imperial departments and the more detailed the management, the better the management will be.

The problem is which officials have to be paid by the court-I heard that the Song Dynasty had a serious problem of redundant officials, which became one of the reasons for the collapse of the court's finances. According to you, wouldn't the problem of redundant officials be more serious in later generations?How can they support it financially? "

Auntie Zhu laughed, "Taizu forgot what we said a few days ago - governing the country must not shrink back when encountering problems, but try to solve them.

If the financial support cannot be supported, then try to increase the national income-don't just think about cutting expenditure, only by focusing on increasing revenue can we solve the financial problem.

Therefore, when evaluating the strength of a country, later generations often regard finance as the second largest factor besides the military. "

"Finance increase?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, "It's easy to say, in the past dynasties, no one has made great achievements in fiscal increase, and many of them ended up squeezing the common people."

Aunt Zhu said: "That's because all dynasties and dynasties have limited their attention to this one-third of an acre of land in the country, and they have governed the country with Confucianism.

If we use science to govern the country, promote continuous technological breakthroughs, and turn our attention overseas, financial problems can be easily solved in ancient times.

For example, in the Han and Tang Dynasties, they only grasped the point of "turning their eyes abroad". Since they opened up the Silk Road in the Western Regions, they became stronger than all previous dynasties.

How about you Taizu?Has the Western Regions been opened?Overseas, the Maritime Silk Road is still controlled by others, right? "

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't hold back his face anymore.

He started with a single bowl and conquered the huge Ming Empire. He also made psychological comparisons with the founding emperors and heroes of the past dynasties, thinking that he could be ranked in the top three no matter what.

But in the matter of opening up the Western Regions, he couldn't keep up with Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty.

One is because it is too troublesome to get through the Western Regions, and the transportation loss is far more serious than that in the Han and Tang Dynasties if the grain and grass from the inland are to be obtained.The second is that the Silk Road in the Western Regions is not as prosperous as it was in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

On the contrary, the Maritime Silk Road has not been controlled by the emperors of all dynasties, and it has become more and more burdensome. He can try to achieve this achievement.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands and said, "Okay, posterity, you've gone off topic, let's continue talking about how the courts of later generations govern the country."

Auntie Zhu secretly laughed at Zhu Yuanzhang's desperate desire for face, but she did not expose it, and continued: "As the functions of various departments in the imperial court become more detailed, the officials will become more specialized.

In later generations, the vast majority of officials have been working as officials in a certain professional field all their lives.

Because they are doing their professional work, they can try to avoid laymen guiding experts, and it is easier to achieve results in their positions.

Daming is now full of Confucian disciples who are officials—I don’t know what kind of Confucian disciples you have now, but a little later, most of the Confucian disciples in Ming Dynasty only knew how to compose stereotyped essays, and even reciting poems and composing poems were much inferior to those in Tang and Song Dynasties .

Those in charge of water conservancy can only know stereotyped articles; those in charge of supervising the construction of cities and armaments still only know stereotyped articles;

I know that Taizu wrote this stereotyped article in order to let scholars remember to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and to become loyal ministers of Ming Dynasty.

What about power?Doesn't their ability to do things matter?The ridiculous thing is that after Li Zicheng's uprising came into effect, and the Qing captives entered the customs, these courtiers who read sage books and wrote stereotyped articles surrendered everywhere!

After my father Huang and Meishan hanged themselves, all civil and military officials even opened the gates of the city together to welcome Li Zicheng into the city, vying to become a courtier of the new court.

What's more, after more than a month, the Qing captives were welcomed into the city by a group, and the entire Qing captives were shunming.

Taizu felt that you succeeded in using sage books and stereotyped articles to make scholars loyal to the emperor and patriotism? "

Aimee Zhu stopped here, because even now, she gets angry when she thinks about what happened back then.

It's not that there are no loyal ministers among the literati who read sage books, but that most of them choose survival and wealth between survival, wealth and loyalty.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while.

He is the first person who is so smart, he has never believed in the books of sages, but only used them as a tool to play games with literati and govern the people.

Indeed, as Auntie Zhu said, he wanted to use sage books and stereotyped essays to make scholars more loyal to the emperor and patriotic.

Judging from the situation of later generations, he did make a mistake in this matter.In other words, after all, he was fooled by the big turbans left by the old Yuan.

Aimee Zhu took a breath, and then continued: "The sage books do have the effect of shaping the thoughts of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and improving the personal morality of officials, but it is a big mistake to only rely on the sage books to select officials.

Official morality is important, but ability is equally important.But if officials want to be loyal to the emperor, love the country, cherish the people, and cultivate themselves, they must not only rely on the teachings of sages and sages, but also need to be restrained by laws!
Therefore, Taizu wanted to learn the methods of governing the country of later generations. First of all, he remembered to change the situation that Confucianism was dominant. He no longer only selected Confucianism, but added professional content, and revitalized other aspects of knowledge such as industry and agriculture. "

Having said that, Zhu Yuxi stopped when she saw Zhu Yuanzhang was contemplating.

Seeing that Auntie Zhu spoke so well, Hao Guangming was so thoughtful that he made a cup of milk tea and brought it over.

After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang digested the content of Aimi Zhu's words just now, and said: "Later, you continue to talk."

Aunt Zhu nodded and said, "What I said just now is that the functional departments of the imperial court are more detailed, and the officials must be more professional.

Next, let's talk about more aspects of governance such as national civil affairs and finance, as well as local governance.

Daming now relies entirely on officials—take water conservancy as an example. When joining the dynasty, there happens to be an official who studies water conservancy, and the people above can pay attention to him and use him. Only then can we do a good job in water conservancy.

In terms of local governance, it all depends on the personal abilities of officials.The ability of officials is good, the life of the local people is easier, and even the tax revenue of the court can be increased.

If the official ability is not good, then he will muddle along, or even make a mess, but he can still get promoted by catering to his superiors and giving gifts.

In the early and middle period of a dynasty, the administration of officials was relatively clear, and the problems caused by this governance method were not very prominent.

But in the middle and late period of the dynasty, all kinds of problems accumulated more and more, but the court was getting darker and darker, and the monarch was far inferior to the founding monarch. Naturally, the court was full of greedy and incompetent people inside and outside the court, and the country was in a mess , hard to return, can only wait to perish. "

"Are there no such problems when later generations govern the country?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Auntie Zhu laughed and said, "As long as people are employed in governing a country, there will definitely be these problems. But later generations of countries rely on big data, or mathematics in science, which is gradually reducing the influence of people in governance.

Some people in later generations even believe that the direction of national governance discovery should be to finally hand over everything to the brain, or to say that the machine is responsible, completely getting rid of the influence of human governance. "

"Smart brain? Machines governing the country?" Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened when he heard it, and he couldn't understand it at all.

Auntie Zhu smiled and said, "The technology of future generations is extremely advanced, and all kinds of machines are also extremely sophisticated. For example, the plane we are flying on has an artificial intelligence on it, which can be regarded as a miniature and simplified version of the brain.

They have smarter brains than humans, but they don't have the same emotions as humans.Therefore, when they deal with problems, they will not be mixed with emotions and desires, and they will naturally free the country's governance from the negative influence of the rule of man. "

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the plane in front of him, and listened to what Auntie Zhu said, he understood a little bit, but he couldn't help muttering: "It's unbelievable, it's really unbelievable—the end of the road to governing the country is not to use talents to obtain abilities, but to use people? !"

Hao Guangming, who was on the side, heard this and quickly gave Aimi Zhu winks.

He was worried that Zhu Yuanzhang would go astray—after all, the technology of later generations was too different from that of Ming Dynasty.

Auntie Zhu was also worried about this, and hurriedly said: "Taizu don't think too badly. Daming is far from the conditions to implement intelligent brain governance. Even the technology of later generations is so advanced that they only try this way. It is still far away from real unmanned governance. far away.

For Daming, it is probably impossible to achieve this goal in a lifetime.Therefore, if Taizu wanted to govern the country well, he still had to use the virtuous to obtain the capable. "

Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses, and said with a smile: "Later, you have underestimated us too much. What is suitable is the right one. We have long understood such a simple truth."

···
In the next few days, Zhu Yuanzhang came to Donghui Academy to listen to lectures every day.

Aimee Zhu and Hao Guangming took turns acting as lecturers, answering various questions from Zhu Yuanzhang and explaining various knowledge, experience, and principles of later generations.

Sometimes Hao Heshan and Auntie Zhu will also make guest appearances temporarily.

The reason for this is that several people have seen the change of the black jade ring - the energy in it is just as Hao Guangming speculated, it is increasing day by day, and it is almost full.

this day.

Auntie Zhu is telling Lao Zhu about the education reform of later generations and various problems encountered.

Hao Guangming held the black jade ring and looked at it nervously, because the energy of the black jade ring seemed to be full.

After Auntie Zhu spoke for a while, Hao Guangming said, "The energy of this black jade ring will be really full at some point, so don't send us away all at once, so that we won't have time to leave the notes we wrote. Taizu."

Auntie Zhu was also worried about this, so she said, "Then let's take care of Taizu now, so as not to have any accidents."

"Ah."

Immediately, Hao Guangming asked Xiaozhi to pass on the stack of notes they had written in the past few days through the logistics channel of the plane.

After Zhu Yuanzhang got these notes, he also realized something. He couldn't help looking at the plane, and said: "Later, are you leaving?"

Auntie Zhu nodded in the video, and said with a slight smile: "The time we stay here is limited, and Taizu has obtained the information we mentioned, and got these notes again. I believe it will definitely lead Daming to a more prosperous road. So , our mission here has been completed.”

"Then you will come again?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked eagerly.

In the video, Aunt Zhu was about to answer, but was swept in by a circle of black light emerging from behind.

Then, under Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze, black light swept across the entire plane and disappeared.

The pro-military guards who were a little far away rushed over belatedly, making a gesture of protecting Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang held a stack of notes tightly in his hand, looking at the open space where the plane had stopped, and remained silent for a while.

After a long time, he came back to his senses, looked up at the sky, his eyes glowed brightly, waved his hands and said loudly: "Quickly pass the crown prince, King Yan to Fengxian Hall!"

"Yes!"

"Different History of the Great Ming Dynasty Secret Book"

In the 14th year of Hongwu, in August, the divine bird descended to Jinling.

In October of that year, Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, set off a major reform involving all aspects of the country in the Ming Dynasty with the crown prince as the main envoy and Yan Wang Zhu Di as the deputy envoy of the great reform!
At the beginning of the reform, it inevitably caused some chaos, and even scholars gathered in some places to riot, but they were all quickly quelled by the Ming army.

With the vigorous progress of the great reform, the financial and military aspects of the Ming Dynasty have been rapidly improved and upgraded, the people have become richer and the technology has become more advanced.

In the 25th year of Hongwu, Zhu Di, King of Yan, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the Ming Navy, and was ordered to lead the fleet to the Western Ocean and control the Maritime Silk Road.

From then on, Daming's power shook the world, and it gradually became an empire that never falls on the first day of the earth and stars!
