Chapter 39: The Great Chinese Empire
On New Year's Day in 1836, His Majesty Lin Hong, the Great Emperor of the Great Chinese Empire, held a grand ceremony to set the capital in Beijing, and under the attention of envoys from all over the world, Lin Hong went to the Temple of Heaven and the Temple of Earth to pay homage to the ancestors of Yan and Huang, repeating the clothes of the Han family, but also deliberately clearly put forward the title of the Chinese nation in the memorial text, requiring national harmony, unity and development.
Subsequently, Lin Hong declared the unification of the empire in the Taihe Hall of the Forbidden City, and issued another edict demanding that Mongolia be annexed.
At 12 o'clock at noon, Lin Hong officially proclaimed the emperor as the emperor of Thailand, and the vassal states all called His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Chinese Empire the emperor (in fact, Korea and Ryukyu were called so in history) It was the dignity of the imperial celestial empire.
Just after Lin Hong gave himself the honorific title proposed by the cabinet. Lin Hong was prompted by the system to say that his honorific title: "Emperor of the Chinese Empire" was promoted to "Emperor of the Great Chinese Empire", which made him very puzzled, and added two big characters, and then! It's gone, Jinyiwei didn't appear, and neither did the beautiful wife. However, Lin Hong thought about it, and now the frontiers of Inner and Outer Mongolia and Northwest China have not been completely recovered, so the task has not been completed.
In addition, the national zhengfu agency will move to Beijing after the completion of the renovation and infrastructure construction of Beijing City, and set up Tianjin as a municipality directly under the central government, as well as Hong Kong and Shanghai. In addition, Lin Hong also made detailed arrangements for various tasks in the north. Including the opening of the Kanto region, the planning of the establishment of railway and highway networks, telegraph matters, the renovation of the city of Beijing, and so on.
Beijing is full of busy figures, Lin Hong was busy visiting his own garden, and after entering Beijing, he did not live in the Forbidden City but in the Summer Palace. Of course, the Summer Palace at this time is not called the Summer Palace, but the Qingyi Garden. It was a royal garden built by Qianlong for his mother, Empress Xiaosheng, who spent 4.48 million taels of silver. In order to remember Yehenala Xingzhen, who may no longer be alive, Lin Hong changed Qingyi Garden to Summer Palace on the second day of his arrival.
Beijing's famous Three Mountains and Five Gardens are the quintessence of ancient Chinese garden art. The three mountains are Wanshou Mountain, Xiangshan Mountain and Yuquan Mountain, there are three gardens built on the three mountains, Qingyi Garden (Summer Palace), Jingyi Garden and Jingmingyuan, and the remaining two gardens are Changchun Garden and Yuanmingyuan built nearby.
Qin Han and Li Weng teamed up to clean the inside and outside of Beijing City, and not even a single fly was released in the Forbidden City, let alone any eunuchs and palace maids with treasures. Today is the seventh day that Lin Hong has entered the Summer Palace, and about 300 financial personnel who follow Xing have not finished counting the remaining belongings in Beijing until today, and in fact, they have not yet completed the inventory of the belongings in the Forbidden City.
The parliament in Nanjing passed the "Resolution on the Transfer of Manchu Inheritance to the Imperial Family" proposed by the cabinet, and now the Forbidden City, the Old Summer Palace and other Manchu royal property are being counted, and it will all belong to Lin Hong in the future, of course, Lin Hong will also open the Forbidden City and other tourist attractions for the common people, but no one has the money to travel yet.
In addition to these yellow and white things that have no connotation, these princes and concubines have hidden blue and white porcelain, celebrity calligraphy and paintings and other cultural relics and antiques are an immeasurable wealth. In addition, Wenyuan Pavilion and other places also have a large collection of books, the Qianlong Dynasty compiled the four libraries of the whole book to put away the books that have not had time to burn, one by one in the library of the library. He Muping has never heard of books, maps, and notes, which can be described as vast as a sea of stars. It's a pity that a considerable part of the remaining books at this time were tampered with or burned after compiling the Siku Quanshu.
Lin Hong was not interested in the Siku Quanshu, it took a lot of effort to compile it back then, but it made out an unrecognizable four-like, and many things that were involved in hindering the rule of the Qing Dynasty were tampered with and deleted. In addition, all kinds of books about military affairs, novels, miscellaneous studies, operas, etc., are not included in the four libraries. According to records, twice as many books were not included in the Siku Quanshu as were included in the books. To a certain extent, the compilation of the Siku Quanshu is more like a unified thought in the cultural circles, or a complete negation and elimination of knowledge that does not meet the "requirements of the times". Its actual damage is greater than its effect. However, with the help of the power of the imperial power, it is also a good thing to collect books from the people, but how much is left has to be discussed. But in Lin Hong's view, no matter what, this is the historical and cultural wealth of the nation.
And the Yongle Grand Canon, which is relatively more objective and all-encompassing, is much more miserable than the pomp and circumstance of a set of copies in one place, such as Wenyuan Pavilion, Wensu Pavilion, Wenyuan Pavilion, etc. During the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty, the Yongle Ceremony has been dispersed partially, after the war in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, it is said that there are a total of 22,937 volumes of the Yongle Ceremony, and 2,442 volumes were lost in the Qianlong Dynasty. And after the compilation of the four libraries, the scholars of the four libraries, such as the famous minister Wen Tingshi, also stole books with great fanfare. The entire Qing Dynasty was stolen and burned by fire. Fortunately, Lin Hong entered Beijing instead of the Anglo-French army, and the siege was not big, and he got as much as the Yongle Ceremony left in the Daoguang Dynasty.
Lin Hong collected about 16,000 volumes of the Yongle Canon, and when he looked at the books that filled a palace room, Lin Hong felt a strong sense of pride in being a Chinese.
"Triggering the [National Arcana] event, your faction has a long history and a splendid culture, which will undoubtedly play an important role in your conquest of the world."
"Trigger condition: Reach the prestige of a nation; There is only one country in the faction; It has a population of more than 100 million; occupy the four ancient capitals of the civilization; Obtain an original National Treasure item (Yongle Grand Canon). ”
"[National Arcana]: Obtainable Item: Imperial Collection. You have obtained the Yongle Canon, obtained the important civilization collection of the faction civilization for thousands of years, and basically obtained most of the material civilization heritage and intangible civilization heritage of the faction civilization, and now the great Emperor Detai has collected the important collection of this civilization for more than 3,000 years after great efforts, and compiled it into the "Imperial Collection" to declare the strength of the faction civilization. ”
"[National Arcana] Effect:
The national economy, culture, education, scientific research, politics, military, and people's morality will be given a 10% full bonus
Enhance the satisfaction of the civilized people ~ the people, and the centripetal force of the nation by 100%
When invaded by foreign countries, the country's production capacity and military combat effectiveness are increased by 50%
When invaded by a foreign country, the national recruitment rate is increased by 50%
When fighting a Just War, national recruitment speed is increased by 30%
Increases the support of the people of this civilization for the holder of the National Treasure by 25%
15% increase in the country's influence on foreign countries
Enhance the country's influence on the civilization of the same origin extension civilization by 30%
Increase the chance that a country will produce a great military strategist, a great economist, a great literary artist, a moral saint, and a great politician by 20%
Unlock the country's ultimate military unit [Imperial Chinese Guard] (1000 conscription cap)"
Lin Hong looked at this introduction, which had reached the limit, and suddenly felt that his mind was in a hurry, compared to the invincible introduction of all the important books in the past three thousand years, the bonus auxiliary effect of this country's treasure can almost be stronger than all his existing bonuses, I don't know how many times. The 10% increase in the national economy alone means that there will be an extra 10% of the income next year, and for a country with an annual fiscal revenue of hundreds of millions, an achievement is 10 million, which is nearly 100 first-class sail battleships.
He even doubted that once he had this thing and increased his support by 25%, it was estimated that he would almost become a figure of the level of Emperor Rimoto in the future, and countless people would throw their heads and spill their blood for what he said and ordered. In fact, he is now trying to do so, becoming the people's god of sustenance. Another buggy effect is that it unlocks the ultimate military unit of the Chinese civilization faction, the Imperial Chinese Guard. Lin Hong glanced at the data, and jumped up cautiously, this Praetorian Guard, known as the ultimate unit, although limited by the weapons of the times, is all S-level existence.
"It costs 50 million to get it?" Lin Hong finally saw the last sentence of introduction, and he laughed and said: "This kind of artifact can't be measured by money, even if you don't have the money to smash the pot and sell iron, you have to make it up, not to mention that I just took the old nest of the Qing Dynasty and looted at least hundreds of millions of wealth!" ”
After 20 million yuan was auctioned casually, Lin Hong received a message: "The Imperial Collection has a total of 241755 volumes, covering an area of about 4,506 cubic meters, whether it will be included in the annex space, or will it be collected in this world?" ”
Lin Hong swallowed and spit, with a volume of more than 4,000 cubic meters, it is estimated that a palace room will not be able to fit it, and it will be difficult to explain it if it is taken out now. It's better to honestly put it in the attached space, such a precious thing, if he bumps into it, he will have to feel distressed for a while.
I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Lin Hong suddenly felt refreshed, and the world was wide.
