Chapter 282 Xishan Anti-Corruption Operation
After reading these pages of "Yongle Dadian", Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but have an idea in his mind.
I wonder if I should suggest to the Emperor Lao Tzu to set up a Daming Bookstore similar to the Zhonghua Bookstore and Commercial Printing House in later generations, specifically responsible for protecting and printing classical ancient books.
Let some interested and powerful intellectuals and some wealthy people who like arty style purchase these classical ancient books printed and produced by Daming Book Company according to their own needs and preferences.
If this thing can be done, let alone making money or not, as long as the contents of these unique books can be printed into multiple collectible books, then some cultural books will be passed on. If an accident occurs, other texts will remain.
This will not allow some cultural classics that are easily lost to become unique copies that can be lost accidentally.
And with participation in this process, some original original copies will also become more culturally valuable. It is simply a cultural event that kills two birds with one stone!
So should I suggest this emperor, who only knows how to cultivate immortality, to set up an official publishing organization like Daming Bookstore?
For a while, Zhu Zaijing couldn't help but feel a little entangled and a little excited.
After all, the timing now seems to be quite good, because Emperor Jiajing has been asking the Hanlin Academy to hand-copy copies of the "Yongle Dadian" over the years. If we can use this opportunity, let some movable type printing and woodblock printing be used Craftsmen joined in and tried to sell a whole part of the less exquisite "Yongle Dadian" printed version.
Maybe it can also attract many wealthy gentry and local tyrants to donate generously to purchase these printed versions of the "Yongle Dadian" collection. By then, both money and culture will be harvested.
It’s just that Zhu Zaijing still can’t figure out the views of Emperor Jiajing and this group of ancient people on cultural books. What if they like to keep them privately and don’t like to share them, and they also consider some things that are not available? Regarding the issue of cultural control, isn’t that just a waste of effort?
So Zhu Zaijing had to find out Emperor Jiajing's views on this matter before making a decision. Otherwise, if you say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing, it will be no joke.
You must know that this is the era of feudal monarchy, and the will of all power belongs to the Supreme. If you touch someone's negative side without knowing it, the consequences will be disastrous!
Meng Chong's errand was done very quickly. When Huang Jin heard about this problem, he immediately agreed. He immediately sent a few people from the East Factory to the Xishan Coal Field to check what was going on there. Are there any corruption issues?
The results of such an investigation are naturally predictable.
Under the close investigation of Dongchang, Xishan Coal Field immediately unearthed several huge corruption cases, and the amount of corruption was also shocking, as high as nearly 100,000 taels of silver.
You must know that this is in the suburbs of Beijing, this is at the feet of the emperor, and there are such extremely greedy slaves. How can Emperor Jiajing tolerate this?
From the perspective of Emperor Jiajing, these extremely greedy guard eunuchs were actually stealing his small treasury.
You must know that Emperor Jiajing was counting on the money to make more elixirs, hold more fasting ceremonies, communicate more with the gods in the sky, and complete the great cause of cultivating immortality as soon as possible.
But such a servant was so greedy under his nose, usurping the benefits that should belong to him. How could Emperor Jiajing not be angry?
So after an investigation by Dongchang, all places in the entire Xishan area that were guarded by eunuchs were scanned, which instantly lifted the atmosphere of the entire Xishan area.
Those guard eunuchs who originally thought arrogantly that they were worth 2,580,000 yuan were all served by the Huang Jin family. In the end, their heads fell to the ground, which greatly shocked the bad thoughts of many eunuchs who were sent to guard outside. .
At the same time, it also made Teng Xiang's errands in Xishan more convenient. In just one month, the lime production capacity of the lime field exceeded the previous one several times, providing a steady stream of supplies for Zhu Zaijing's preliminary expansion project of the capital. supply of lime.
After more than a month of construction, the weather is getting colder and colder.
Emperor Jiajing, who was meditating in the Wanshou Palace in Xiyuan, couldn't help but wonder what Zhu Zaijing was doing now.
Because in this month, Emperor Jiajing didn't hear anything new about Zhu Zaijing.
So I can’t help but feel a little curious.
Ever since, Emperor Jiajing called Huang Jin over. "Huang Jin, what have you been doing lately?"
Emperor Jiajing had just finished meditating and was in good spirits, so he asked Huang Jin who was waiting on the side.
Huang Jin still looked chubby and honest. He smiled and said: "Prince Yu is learning the rules from the Ministry of Rites."
"Learning the rules from the Ministry of Rites?"
Jiajing When the emperor heard Huang Jin's answer, he couldn't help but become curious, "What rules did he learn from the Ministry of Rites? What rules could the Ministry of Rites teach him? Does Xu Jie feel that the cabinet affairs are too idle?"
< br>Huang Jin continued to smile and replied: "Emperor, you have forgotten that after the Chinese New Year is the day of Prince Yu's wedding, so the Ministry of Etiquette is now helping Prince Yu rehearse the etiquette process of the wedding."
When Emperor Jiajing heard this, he immediately laughed, "Looking at my memory, I have completely forgotten this matter."
Huang Jin said with a smile: "The emperor is worried about state affairs, and sometimes he neglects some family matters. It is inevitable. Moreover, Prince Yu is a filial piety, and he still sends people to ask for the emperor's favor every day, which can be said to be extremely thoughtful."
Emperor Jiajing hummed, "San'er is very good, but. He has been too calm this month, I am not used to it."
When Huang Jin heard what Emperor Jiajing said, the smile on his face became a little bit thicker.
Huang Jindao: "Emperor, hasn't Prince Yu always been quite peaceful?"
Emperor Jiajing laughed, obviously he had different views on Huang Jin's answer.
Then Emperor Jiajing asked: "How is the recent progress of the project? Are you still digging holes?"
The digging of holes that Emperor Jiajing said was actually Zhu Zaijingrang Zhang Tianci and Hai Rui carried out the construction of underground drainage projects and underground pipeline reservation projects.
Huang Jin replied: "There is no sage like an emperor. The current construction of the outer city is indeed still digging underground drainage lines. According to Prince Yu, the drainage project of the outer city of the capital is directly related to the inner city. A major project that threatens the safety of the city. "
"If the drainage in the outer city is not smooth, if there is continuous heavy rain, there will be too much water in the inner city and it will not be relieved in time, which may cause huge consequences. casualties and property damage.”
"Therefore, the preliminary project of the outer city is the construction of these drainage projects. After these drainage projects are dug, the construction of roads, neighborhoods and people's residential areas can be gradually carried out."
Emperor Jiajing listened to Huang After Jin's words, he also nodded in agreement and said: "San'er considers the problem in a long-term and comprehensive way. The outer city project of the capital is not just an outer city, it is also a manifestation of my prosperity in governing the world. If we continue to The city of emperor is so stingy, how can we show off the Ming Dynasty’s image? San’er did a good job in this regard!”
Huang Jin also thought this when he heard Emperor Jiajing praising Zhu Zaijing. At that time, Emperor Jiajing must have liked Zhu Zaijing very much in his heart.
So, Huang Jin followed and said: "Prince Yu is actually thinking about a problem during this period. He has been borrowing the "Yongle Dadian" copied by the Hanlin Academy for the past two years."
"So Prince Yu, like the emperor, also loves this set of ceremonies. Therefore, some time ago, Prince Yu told his slave a small idea, thinking about carrying forward the "Yongle Grand Ceremony" and becoming a prominent book in the world! ”
