Chapter 638: Agriculture-oriented

It should be said that the edict was read by the first assistant Wang Xijue, although it was somewhat unexpected by the ministers, but it was not incomprehensible, in fact, a big man had a faint premonition, and Wang Xijue's attitude at this moment was just to confirm their guess.

The new emperor and Motosuke have already stood together!

This omen suddenly alerted the cabinet ministers present, they haven't forgotten the plan revealed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a few days ago, although it was rumored in the court that Lord Yuanfu entered the palace alone, and finally persuaded His Royal Highness the Prince, but no one has any evidence, right?

What if it was another possibility, that Lord Motosuke was persuaded by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Looking at the current situation, it is not impossible!

Otherwise, what exactly is in this edict needs to be endorsed by the first and auxiliary ministers.

You must know that if the ordinary edict is issued to each yamen, it will be copied and issued by the six departments, and the yamen will be transferred according to the official document model, and if it is issued to an individual, it will be issued by the pedestrians in the palace to announce the edict.

As for those who sent eunuchs in the palace to make special announcements, it was to show how much the emperor attached importance to the edicts.

Generally speaking, the first edict of the new emperor to ascend the throne is to be announced by the eunuch in charge of the celebrant to declare the emperor's attention.

And let Shoufu come to announce the edict......

This has not happened for a long time, and Shousuke, as the head of a hundred officials, has his own majesty.

To a certain extent, the first assistant can act on behalf of the king, and the most obvious point is that since the Daxing Emperor Long controlled Bintian, the reading of the edict and the presiding over the new emperor's enthronement were all performed by the first assistant.

This alone is enough to prove the status of Shousuke.

And the meaning behind the edict of Shousuke is, first of all, that is, Shousuke himself agrees with this edict, that is, if anyone jumps out and questions the content of the edict.

is questioning the emperor and the first assistant at the same time!

Thinking of this, a trace of sadness could not help but pass over the face of a minister.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict!"

No matter what, the facts and can't be changed, the bigwigs are in a hurry, but the old Shoufu has already respectfully accepted the edict and held it high above his head.

When they heard this, they all bowed down, but their ears were pricked up.

"The edict said, Wei I Emperor Ming, Yun Zuo Longchang, Jitu consolidation, Huanghuang calendar, the saint inheritance, I inherit the will of the emperor's examination, that is, the emperor's throne, the civil and military pro-sages should be one heart and one virtue to assist the dynasty, so as not to lose the weight of the imperial examination, at the beginning of my holy performance, it is advisable to renew the number of the restoration, and next year is the first year of Taichang, and the edict will grant amnesty to the world......"

A few short openings, decent, but the ministers know that the point is still to come.

"I have tasted the reason why the cangli is real, the main affairs of farming, the first emperor Taizu set up the four people, agriculture first, the first emperors of the past dynasties all took agriculture as the priority, although I am not sensitive, but also know that agriculture is the foundation of the country, so I think about it again and again, imitate the Zhou ceremony, reset the Sinong Temple, set up one Qing, is three products, two Shaoqing, is four products, one should refer to the official position of Dali Temple, the responsibility of Sinong Temple, when the world is in charge of agriculture, set up the agriculture of friends in various countries, cultivate and transplant, conform to the time of the day, investigate the fundamental laws of agriculture, guide the people to be good, and strengthen my Ming agriculture!"

Wang Xijue's voice was loud, and he didn't look old at all.

Every word was clearly transmitted to the ears of the ministers, making the ministers a little confused.

Especially the front-end ministers, their brows were slightly twisted.

What the hell does the emperor want to do?

Sinong Temple is one of the nine temples, there have been since ancient times, but there is no Ming Dynasty.

In the early years of Emperor Taizu, he tried to set up Sinong Temple, in charge of the world's agricultural affairs, spring ploughing, etc., but after three years, he was dismissed, and the responsibility of Sinong Temple was attributed to the hands of the household department.

Now that the emperor has reopened Sinong Temple, could it be that he is eyeing the household department?

Many people's eyes suddenly glanced at Zhao Shiqing, the head of the household department on the side, which made Lao Zhao's scalp tingle.

To tell the truth, Zhao Shiqing knew about the re-establishment of Sinong Temple, just a few days ago, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had summoned him to the palace, called the inventory of silver in the national inventory, in fact, it was to discuss the matter of this Sinong Temple.

But only Zhao Shiqing knew that it was not a discussion at all!

The emperor had already made a decision, and summoned him to the palace just to inform him, and by the way, told him that all the funds of Sinong Temple were not allowed to be deducted.

God is pitiful, this is the emperor himself issued an edict to reset, how dare he deduct funds......

Zhao Shangshu walked out of the palace with the emperor's prohibition of leaking news and deduction of funds, and his stomach was full of doubts and dizziness, and until now, he didn't understand why the emperor did this......

The authority of the Si Nong Temple in the previous dynasty was indeed not light, and almost everything related to grain was under the jurisdiction of the Si Nong Temple.

But now the establishment of this Sinong Temple is different, listening to the emperor's meaning, it does not seem to involve the scope of the authority and responsibility of the Ministry of Households, and even this Si Nong Temple is vaguely responsible to the Ministry of Households.

Their ruling is actually in accordance with the time of the day, and the law of agriculture is fundamental, and when the day is studied, when the calendar is studied, isn't this the work of Qin Tianjian?

There is also a collection of agriculture from friends in various countries, cultivation and transplantation, what kind of thing is this......

Could it be that those small countries can have better farming than the Ming Dynasty?

However, although he was full of doubts, Zhao Shiqing finally reassured, no matter what the emperor wanted to do, he didn't want to attack the household subordinates, and that was enough.

Isn't it just to set up an additional yamen of the three products?

Just dial the silver as usual!

Although the ministers did not think as much as Zhao Shangshu thought, at least from the short sentences of the edict, they also deduced something.

It seems that this Si Nong Temple is maintained by the state and used to study the so-called friendly farming......

If it were a different time, it would be indispensable for upright adults to come forward to impeach the emperor for squandering the country, but now that the new emperor has ascended the throne, it is not a good time to brush up his prestige, and the ministers have also pressed down.

The first edict of the new emperor always has some privileges, at least as long as it is not a particularly excessive edict, no one will come out to choke.

These changes in his expression naturally all fell in Zhu Changluo's eyes.

Regarding their backward thinking, Zhu Changluo can only say that the thinking must change, and the old thinking must not be followed!

China has been a big agricultural country since ancient times, especially in such a feudal era, the idea of agricultural standard cannot be lost, and if any emperor does not attach importance to agriculture, he will not be able to be an emperor for a few years.

But what he couldn't understand was why in such a large agricultural country, the imperial court, as an official institution, would not take the initiative to study the technology to improve the level of agriculture.

Take a look at the various works related to agricultural affairs in history, all of which were left by private figures.

After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Changluo could only blame the ubiquitous bureaucratic style, after all, even if the old men in the court shouted that agriculture was the most important, they would not personally go to the field to plough the fields, and naturally they would not understand how much benefit even a simple technological innovation would bring to the peasants.

But it doesn't matter if they don't understand, it's enough for Zhu Changluo to understand, so the Ming version of the Academy of Agricultural Sciences was officially included in the first edict of the new emperor......
