Hurriedly waited until the New Year passed, and the cabinet routinely went to the Qianqing Palace to greet Zhu Yunwen, and by the way, I also asked Zhu Yunwen if he had any instructions for the New Year's cabinet.

Although in the past two years, Zhu Yunwen basically did not express any opinions.

The emperor can not speak, but as a courtier, he cannot fail to ask for instructions.

"There are not too many to-do items this year, even if the overall project in Beiping is about to be completed, someone will be sent to inspect it, and the other is whether the in-depth development of the eastern Moting should be approved this year."

Wrapped in a thick cotton suit, Xu Buji flipped through the notes in his hand, and he didn't mention any of the details of a lot of cumbersome side branches, but just picked two relatively important things and asked them briefly, and after speaking, he looked up at Zhu Yunwen and waited for the latter's opinion.

The original plan was to complete the construction in about 12 to 15 years, but because of the decision not to build the outer Guo Gao Wall in the middle of the way, a large part of the construction period was cut at once, and the whole project was completed in only nine years this year.

"The overall construction of the new capital imitates Nanjing, which is divided into four parts: the palace city, the imperial city, the inner city and the outer city. The basic planning of the city has been completed, and the materials required by the city have also been basically coordinated.

Hebei, Liaodong, Moting, Shanxi will focus on production around the new capital, and the overall construction of Pingjin Port is basically about to be completed. ”

Xu Buji closed the music and put it on his lap: "Just wait for the inspection to be complete, you can move the capital at any time." ”

"Hmm."

Zhu Yunwen, who was at the top, responded lightly, and explained casually: "Then send someone to check as soon as possible, and wait until the cabinet chooses a date to come out and then come to me to determine the date." ”

After this item, Xu Buji planned to continue to talk about whether the Eastern Moting needed to carry out in-depth development, but Zhu Yunwen shouted.

"Wait, I have something to explain."

After pondering for a while, Zhu Yunwen spoke: "Last month, I replied to the Academy of Sciences, according to the usual practice, the content of this letter should be copied by the Imperial Front Division and the Hanlin Academy for history, and then a Hanlin Lang wrote a letter to me, saying that there is a paragraph in it that I am inappropriate. ”

Is there something wrong with the emperor?

Several people's hearts tightened.

"It's mainly a specific data that went wrong." Zhu Yunwen eased the tension of several people, and said with a smile: "I said such a sentence in the letter.

'Thank you, 75 million people of the Ming Dynasty'.

At the end of the First Five-Year Plan, our Ming Dynasty had 73.14 million people, and now there have been no new statistics after ten years, and I don't know a rough idea, so I simply took this data and wrote it in the letter, so I was picked by the Hanlin Academy.

Because the letter I wrote is going to be entered into history, if it does not match the data of the national history and the household department at that time, it will be easy to cause unknown historical materials to future generations and it is difficult to study the difficulties of restoration, so this Han Linlang hopes that the household department will count again, and the original words in my letter will be changed to the general term imaginary number of the people of the world. ”

How many people Daming has at the moment, not to mention that Zhu Yunwen doesn't know, and the cabinet doesn't know.

Checking the population is an extremely troublesome project, and the household registration system of the Ming Dynasty is still the original handwritten paper, and there is no computer entry system, so the heads must be door-to-door one by one.

Whoever died and forgot to go to the yamen to sell the household disc. Whoever adds a new child may not be too lazy to go to the yamen to register the household disc, which will make the Dingkou book in the local government and county yamen room not accurate at all.

In the Ming Dynasty, this kind of large-scale population counting project did not occur more than ten times, and on average, it only happened once in almost 30 years.

What can be easily found is the Hongwu Dynasty twice, the Yongle Dynasty once, the Zhengde Dynasty and the Wanli Dynasty once each.

The Tianqi and Chongzhen dynasties were busy dealing with all kinds of natural and man-made disasters and chaos, and there were often tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of deaths under disasters, so there was no need to count them.

Since Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he has only counted once after the First Five-Year Plan, and it has been almost ten years since then, and he has not carried out a second time.

"Let's just do it, set a date in the future, isn't this the 50th anniversary of the founding of our Ming Dynasty, after this year's investigation, a national census will be conducted once every ten years."

Zhu Yunwen opened his mouth and set the tone: "I still have that request, as long as it is a child of our Ming Dynasty, no matter what identity it is, it must be registered." ”

"It's all the fault of the ministers."

Xu Buji stood up and bowed down: "If the minister had thought about it earlier, he wouldn't have caused trouble for the Hanlin Academy." ”

That's probably the skill of speaking.

The Han Lin Lang of the Hanlin Academy are all young people who have just left the academy, and they can't speak with their brains, and they dare to say that the emperor's words are inappropriate, but Xu Buji never mentions it.

In a direct sentence, he put the responsibility on the cabinet, and characterized this matter as the cabinet has caused trouble to the history of the Hanlin Academy, and the work between the cabinet and the Hanlin Yuan has not been properly connected.

No matter how small the flaw is, it can't and shouldn't appear on Zhu Yunwen's body.

"It's not that much."

Zhu Yunwen smiled and waved his hand: "It's just a small flaw, I said it casually at the time, after all, I haven't studied the statistics, it is said that I am indeed a gaffe, this kind of data must be detailed and can withstand scrutiny and verification."

Now the content of that letter is also a history that has been changed a little, and there will be no deviation from the national history and the household department in the future.

Your cabinet doesn't have to accuse, after all, such a big project can't be done every year, and it's good to work hard and disturb the people once every ten years. ”

After a pause, Zhu Yunwen stood up: "That's it for today, your cabinet will make up your own mind about the rest." ”

After that, he walked away, and several people hurriedly bowed: "Congratulations to Your Majesty." ”

The emperor opened Chrysostom, and this new round of census was soon launched, and the first participant in this census really shocked the world's attention.

It is the current emperor Zhu Yunwen!

"In the past, the household department summed up the number of Dingkou, and never added the royal family, could it be that I am not a Ming person?"

Zhu Yunwen appeared in the hall in civilian clothes, and waved his hand to signal the summoned officials of the household department to sit down: "You don't have to be nervous, I will tell you to write it down." ”

The two swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and although they were nervous, they quickly spread out the paper, waiting for Zhu Yunwen to speak.

"I, Zhu Yunwen, ancestral home in Fengyang Mansion, Nanzhili, was born in Yingtianfu, Nanzhili, and was born on the fifth day of November in the first year of the Emperor Ming Dynasty."

With Zhu Yunwen's introduction, a large list of names, dates of birth, and places of origin began to come out of his mouth.

"There are five concubines, Ma Enhui, Gu Jing, Guo Qian, Jiang Yan, and Lu Jingchu.

There are seven children, Zhu Wenkui, Zhu Wenqi, Zhu Wendi, Zhu Wenwei, Zhu Wentang, Zhu Ting, and Zhu Yunyue.

There are four grandchildren, Zhu Zuncheng, Zhu Zunjun, Zhu Zunjun, and Zhu Nihan. ”

The household officials copied everything they had written, and when they finished writing, they got up and planned to leave.

Although I was very excited to see the emperor, at close range, the pressure was too great.

They wanted to leave, but Zhu Yunwen stretched out his hand again.

"Don't worry, there's more."

At this moment, both of them were stunned.

What's the matter, could it be that Emperor Lao Tzu made a historical mistake when he went out on patrol that year?
