Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 289
Zhu Biao picked up the list of craftsmen registered by the National Academy of Scholars this year. Two of them have surnames beginning with ink characters, followed by manufacturing machinery.

"Tao Zhangyuan, who are these two?"

Tao Chengdao took the list, pointed to Mo's surname and said, "His Royal Highness, they say that he is a descendant of the Mo family and is good at all kinds of machinery manufacturing."

"There is no evidence for what you say. You should test them more on the day of the exam." Then Zhu Biao put the list on the top of the book stack again: "Go to the Ministry of Industry to transfer the gunpowder officials from the Shenji Hall before you to help you study mines and mines. Regarding the new cannon, the pattern will also be sent to you.”

Tao Chengdao's eyes brightened: "Okay, okay, I'll go tomorrow, thank you His Royal Highness."

"You don't need to thank me for doing things for the court." Zhu Biao signaled him not to be polite: "Call all the agricultural officials, management officials, and doctors of the National Academy of Scholars to Gu. Gu has an errand to explain."

Zhu Biao then asked Sanbao to invite several great Confucian scholars from the Imperial College, as well as Song Lian and Gao Qi to discuss matters.

For what he is going to do this time, he needs the help of the supervisors of the Imperial College, and he will work together with the National Academy of Scholars to compile the book.

In less than half a stick of incense, people from the National Academy of Scholars and the Imperial Academy gathered in the lobby on the first floor of the Academy of Scholars, looking at Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao knew clearly that Zhu Di had someone compile the "Yongle Dadian" back then, and that the Qing Dynasty also had "Siku Quanshu", but today he wants to compile an encyclopedia of the Ming Dynasty - "Hongwu Dace".

"A few days ago, Gu asked Hanlin editors and Mr. Song to revise the history. Many people felt very sorry. Today, Gu will entrust you with a task. The National Academy of Scholars and the Imperial Academy are old neighbors, and they both helped to revise the books.

This book will be handed down in the future and become a must-read, so you understand. "

Song Na cupped his hands at the prince's offering of wine: "The ministers will never fail His Highness the Crown Prince's entrustment. This matter will not bother the Academy of Scholars. We, the Imperial Academy, can complete the book alone."

Tao Chengdao, the head of the National Academy, saw the disdain of the Imperial Academy, and stroked his beard: "Don't underestimate our academicians when offering wine. Although we are not as good as you, our hands-on ability is absolutely top-notch. If you don't want to be with us, we can do it, right? Luo Guidance."

Luo Guanzhong was a tutor for the National Academy of Scholars and was responsible for teaching these academicians to read and write every night to improve their culture.

"Tao Zhangyuan, it's not that Mr. Song doesn't listen to you. You academicians have to study for two hours every night. I'm afraid you are not good enough to read and write. You definitely don't have time to repair books. This is a big deal. If there are mistakes and omissions , wouldn’t it make the world laugh out loud.”

Zhu Biao didn't stop him either, they talked endlessly.

"Okay, shut up." Zhu Biao frowned at them.

Song Na and Tao Chengdao also immediately quieted down and asked Zhu Biao for instructions.

"I want to collect ancient and modern rare books from all over the world to collect them. Zhan Shifu will send some residual copies and manuscripts later. They are all rare treasures, and the revision of books will also make your eyes addicted."

Song Na and other students from the Imperial Academy were pleasantly surprised when they heard that they were lucky enough to see ancient and modern rare books.

"Gu gave this book a mandate, called Hongwu Dace. It will collect the world's wonderful books, from all walks of life, including poetry anthology and classics, history books of various dynasties, hundreds of schools of thought, Han Fu, Tang poetry and Song Ci.

Astronomy, geography and ocean latitude and longitude, five elements, yin and yang, medical skills and prescriptions, wild vegetables and herbs, farming affairs, calendars, river courses, natural disaster prevention, drama and story books, ancient and modern stories, customs and folk customs, folk tunes, arithmetic and Neo-Confucianism, articles and secret classics from previous dynasties .It is also necessary to compile special books for the Ming Dynasty for use by candidates and students. "

The literati of the Guozijian opened their mouths wide, and they couldn't help admiring what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said.They are fortunate enough to come into contact with these, and they are really lucky for three lives.

"The Guozijian and the National Academy of Scholars cooperate with each other to help Gu complete this great policy. You will also be immortalized and praised by future generations. Celebrities, inventions, articles, and wisdom that have lasted for thousands of years will be left to future generations to observe and pass on. "

"The ministers will work together to complete this great book. Summarizing the great strategy of all things, if this book can be completed, it must be a grand view, better than the previous affairs." Song Na said.

"Liu Zhongcheng went to Luoyang for business, so Gao Qi, Song Lian, Luo Guanzhong, Song Na, Qian Tang and others will do it." Zhu Biao said a few words, looked at Luo Guanzhong and said, "Where did your master go? If you were with him Communication, let him come with you."

"Yes." Luo Guanzhong replied.

"This book, I only hope that the National Academy of Scholars and the Imperial College will work together to edit it properly, and I will wait for the day when you present the book."

I hope that the Guozijian and the National Academy of Scholars can turn the previous friction into friendship in this compilation of "Hongwu Dace".

Zhu Biao did not go back to the East Palace, but went directly to the imperial study to find Lao Zhu, and told Lao Zhu about the revision of "Hongwu Dace".

Old Zhu: "This is a good thing. We agree. You did a good job this time. You just did some things for us. Do it well, haha."

Then he asked Yu to show Zhu Biao a handful of gold, silver, jewelry, calligraphy and paintings sent by Mingsheng: "Choose whatever you like. In addition, send this picture of Jiangshan Sheji to Xu's family, your mother ordered."

"Jiangshan Sheji Map?" Zhu Biao looked at it and thought it was a bit small: "Father, my son thinks that Lan Yu should be sent to recover those tribes in the northeast. The border will be expanded in the future.

This summer, it is the central point where the straight road was built from Nanjing and distributed to all prefectures, requiring a lot of manpower. The mines in Shanxi are not short of manpower this year, but I heard that the Sichuan area is rich in mineral deposits, so I can send mine supervisors to check . "

"In the southwest area, we have asked Zhongshu Province to formulate a strategy. The same is true for Sichuan. We also intend to recover the remnant forces in the northeast, as well as the few tribes you mentioned."

Zhu Biao handed over the draft of the Jiangshan Sheji map to Sanbao and asked him to send it to the Xu family. Only then did he realize: "Father, why did the Jiangshan Sheji map be sent to the Xu family?"

"Are you really stupid or just pretending to be stupid? The second girl from the Xu family is a top-notch embroidery worker. Don't tell us that you don't know. Then you are too careless."

"My son understands."

"You just need to understand." Lao Zhu saw that he was open to women, and saw his son's smirk, Lao Zhu always felt that this boy was trying to play tricks again.

Turning his head with wide eyes: "No, what do you understand?"

"My son understands what my father means. Miss Xu's embroidery is first-rate. I just asked her to go to the needlework bureau and the weaving bureau to exchange ideas and write down her embroidery experience. My son will record it in "" In "Hongwu Tactics", the embroidery in the south of the Yangtze River was developed."

Old Zhu moved his hands in the air: "Besides this, there are other things, you have to think about that."

"Where, what is that place, she is indeed very smart, and it is not a loss to be the daughter-in-law of our Zhu family. Father, you have made a lot of money."

"Go, go, let's see how long you can pretend." Old Zhu fell on the couch, folded his arms and said to him: "Mu Ying is married, you go for us, and your mother will also go."

"Father, aren't you going?" Zhu Biao said.

"We have a lot of memorials to read. This year's imperial examinations we must pay attention to. By the way, let's take a look at the government affairs you handled before. You can go for us on Muying's wedding. The etiquette must be generous. He is also a child of our Zhu family. "

"My son has one more thing to tell Father. It's very important about commercial and maritime affairs."

　Ask for collection, ask for recommendation tickets, monthly tickets.
