Time flies, time flies.

Time is as light as water, and before I know it, it is the wax moon of the fourth year of Jianwen, and the sky is full of snow, with a good momentum of stability and peace.

The provincial examinations in various provinces have come to an end one after another, and Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, couldn't stay idle, so he simply sent someone to take away part of the test papers from Ying Tianfu and became a marker in the palace.

"Your Majesty, the old man is here."

Zhu Yunwen was buried in the sea of questions, and Shuangxi came over with his ear and called softly.

Xie Jin, what is this thing for?

Zhu Yun was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and a little eunuch came out of the Qianqing Palace to ask Xie Jin to come in.

"See My Emperor's Sacred Bow Jin'an."

"Well, sit down."

Without raising his head, Zhu Yunwen continued to bow his head to work, and at the same time did not forget to say: "Wait a minute, it will be fine soon." ”

Xie Jin stood at the foot of the imperial stairs with peace of mind and did not sit down.

It wasn't until Zhu Yunwen raised his head and said another word to give him a seat that he bowed down and thanked him and sat down.

"Why do you have time to come here today?"

Waiting for Shuangxi to send hot tea to Xie Jin, Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth and laughed.

"Back to Your Majesty, according to Your Majesty's holy decree, the compilation of "Taizu Records" has been completed, and I am here to restore my life."

As he spoke, he handed over the notebook, and Shuangxi took it and forwarded it to the royal case.

Is "Taizu Record" compiled?

For more than four years, this historical biography has finally been completed, Zhu Yunwen has taken the recital, and the details are naturally impossible to write in one recital, this is the outline.

"From the founding of Taizu in the first year of Hongwu to May 22 in the 31st year of Hongwu, Taizu Dragon drove Bintian, and the actions and deeds of Emperor Gao were copied down in detail, and the holy decree must restore the heroic appearance of Emperor Taizu of the Hongwu Dynasty."

At the request of Zhu Yunwen, this "Taizu Record" strives to respect historical facts 100%, even including some obscure and unknown contents of the four major cases.

"Thank you for your hard work."

Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but nod, and laughed again: "But I can't let you rest for a while, and there is a bigger and more tedious thing to explain to you." ”

Since the "Taizu Record" has been repaired, it is time for the "Jianwen Dictionary" or "Jianwen Question Bank" to be put on the agenda.

"For the affairs of the minister, please show your majesty, and the minister will do his best."

Comparing the age of himself and Yang Shiqi, Xie Jin estimated that it was impossible for him to be the first assistant in his life, so he is now down-to-earth and honestly doing his part.

No matter how bad he is, he is also a dignified first-class scholar, and the ministers avoid the way and are courteous.

At his age, he is not satisfied with this kind of political treatment?

And how easy his work is, Yang Shiqi is directly in charge of the political department, coordinating the political affairs of the world, Yu Xin is in charge of the household finance, and Yan Zhen is directly in charge of the three law departments.

Yu Lu will not lose a copper plate to him.

"Wait a minute, Double Happiness, go and inform the other elders to come over."

What's the matter with such a big fight?

Xie Jin's heart moved slightly, and he really felt the pressure, you must know that when he was repairing "Taizu Record", Zhu Yunwen only explained to him alone, and what he wanted to do next was to call all the cabinet assistants.

This can be regarded as scratching the itchy flesh in Xie Jin's heart, but he also knows that it is impossible for the emperor to tell him now, so he simply pressed his temperament and honestly chatted with Zhu Yunwen about family life.

After waiting for the time to have a stick of incense, Yang Shiqi, Yu Xin, and Yan Zhenzhi, who were sitting in the palace in the Wenhua Palace, walked over in a hurry.

Outside the palace gate, the three ministers untied the big hat and handed it to the left and right, and walked in with a slight bow.

"No need to see the ceremony, find a seat for yourself, and double happiness for tea."

When several people saw Zhu Yunwen's posture, they all laughed when they looked at each other.

Yang Shiqi also took out a blank inscription book from his arms, and borrowed a pen from the eunuch who was in front of the emperor to draft the holy decree.

"Xie Dashen came over and told me that the "Taizu Record" had been repaired, so I planned to ask him to do something bigger."

There was no time to greet him, Zhu Yunwen said straight to the point: "I plan to repair a "Jianwen Canon", and I want Xie Dashen to be the president, and Qing and others to be the vice president. ”

President, this word should not be associated with a certain bald head, let alone the CEO of a group company in later generations, president is a temporary official title in ancient times.

In ancient times, scholars and officials were entrusted by the emperor to compile a set of books that were not original, but directed to integrate the contents of a few books or a specific kind, and were called presidents.

For example, in the historical "Ming Shilu", there are more than a dozen volumes of Ming Shilu, and there are more than a dozen presidents, because the historical books they compiled are based on the integration of a series of historical records such as the "Living Note" and "Collection of Holy Decrees" of the emperor of the previous dynasty that can prove that the emperor did a certain thing.

As in the historical "Yongle Canon", the position of the president has also changed several terms, Xie Jin has done it, Sanyang has also done it, and the vice president has gone to the sea.

"Yongle Canon" belongs to the top treasure of China's culture, because "Yongle Canon" is a super large encyclopedia, combining the culture of all ethnic groups of the Han nationality, including the land of China, and even including overseas, Zheng He brought back foreign culture, these contents are described in the "Yongle Canon".

In addition to culture, the "Yongle Canon" is covered in various other fields, so a "Yongle Canon", thousands of people in the Hanlin Academy have been cultivating for decades before integrating the cultural classics of all ethnic groups in the land of China, including the classics brought back by Zheng He from overseas.

There is a department in the Ming Dynasty called back to the Si Tianjian, which was left by the Green Sect, along with the calendar, mathematics, astrology, engineering (shipbuilding and navigation guides) and a large number of other things, except for the religious ideology that was cut by Emperor Taizu, other conducive to the development of the country have been retained.

After Zheng He went to the West, he brought back a lot of materials and documents from Arabia and East Africa, including scientific thought and Western art (although mainly to find a group of singing and dancing actors to give to Zhu Laosi. ）

By the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty, the budding knowledge of geography, astronomy, and industrial science and technology had been copied and added to the Yongle Canon, including the culture brought by Western missionaries who came to China after the Western voyages.

And all these things have been included in the "Yongle Canon", which is not only a national treasure, but also a treasure of all nationalities in the land of China and even this world.

Then he was burned by the Manchus.

Zhu Yunwen didn't plan to revise a big encyclopedia like "Yongle Canon", because what if it was repaired?

The people at the grassroots level could not see it.

How can a book be printed and distributed with hundreds of millions of words, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of copies?

He, the emperor, spent several years of the treasury to collect and print one set, is there a second person in the world to collect the second set?

Rather than concentrate all of them in the national treasury, it is better not to concentrate them altogether and let the people circulate on their own.

When the country has money in the future, it will slowly collect some useful ones, publish them in a centralized manner, and use them as supplementary teaching materials when they are connected with the popularization of basic education.

Zhu Yunwen wants to revise the "Jianwen Question Bank".

A knowledge question bank that is concentrated exclusively for the world's scholars and used to support their examiners.

In a few years, when the country has money, Zhu Yunwen will be able to follow the example of later generations to popularize basic education, try to open government-run schools in provincial capitals, and engage in compulsory or paid education.

Ten years of trees, 100 years of people.

Education is also the foundation of the country.
