Chapter 750: Geography

Although Yang Reform didn't know much about how to survey and survey maps, he was a master who could make requests, and after making requests, he waited for the results, and chatted with Tang Ruowang and Li Tianjing for a long time before letting the two go back.

During the chat, Yang Gengai learned a lot about the map of the Ming Dynasty, which was a great gain.

After two hundred years of development, for the map's survey, surveying and mapping and production, it has accumulated a lot of experience, and the Western cartographic experience corroborates each other, such as the "Kunyu Wanguo Quantu" such a high-level map, as far as the actual cartographic level is concerned, it is not weak, so although Yang Reform has some high requirements for the new map, it is not too much, and it is not to make a map in a purely "overhead" way, Actually, there are traces to be found.

……

Regarding the emperor's new movements, the government and the opposition have a lot of discussions.

"I heard that Your Majesty is going to cultivate your will again...... "The officials of the original court meeting, because the emperor was late, so, for the time being, it is quite leisurely. Officials gathered in twos and threes, talking about the new trends in the court now, and the most talked about was the number of people, but recently, the emperor's cultivation of geographical records has become a hot topic.

"Yes! This time, I don't know what Your Majesty thought of, and suddenly he wants to revise the geography......"

“…… Didn't you say that you want to build an altar for people? Why hasn't the altar been built yet, and I'm busy repairing the geography? Someone asked puzzled.

“…… If you want me to say it! His Majesty has never been untargeted, this time to revise the geographical chronicles, I am afraid that it is not just for the sake of cultivating the geographical chronicles...... "An official immediately said this, between the understanding of the emperor, this kind of speculation is indeed very marketable, as soon as it is said, it is immediately approved by the people around him. No one believes that the emperor has nothing to do with his food, and this matter will definitely be pointed out in the future, but I don't know what the emperor's current action is pointing to.

“…… I heard that His Majesty's requirements this time are very high, and even a little harsh, so I am afraid that His Majesty is not just for the sake of cultivating the Chronicles, but I am afraid that it is something else...... "The officials chatted in twos and threes.

Guessing the emperor's intentions has become a matter of enthusiasm for many people.

……

"Elder Ge, what do you think of His Majesty's sudden intention to cultivate his will this time?" Several officials surrounded Han Yi, and one of them asked.

Han Yi pondered for a while before he said, "Naturally, there is something to ......."

“…… Dare to ask what the elder Ge refers to......"

“…… Oh, yes! I also asked the elder to give advice......" The officials surrounding Han Yi immediately flattered and asked.

"What is Your Majesty's main concern now?" Han Yi thought for a moment and asked rhetorically.

"Returning to the pavilion, now His Majesty's concern is nothing more than the human altar, and then the war outside the border, could it be that it is all related to these two?" Some officials speculated.

“…… Could it be that His Majesty really felt that the geographical atlas was not very detailed and misled the war commander, so he had to rewrite the geographical chronicle? But now that the eastern captives are about to be leveled, is it too late to rebuild the geographical chronicle now? Another official speculated.

"No, it shouldn't be a war, the Dongju outside the Guanwai is already at the end of the road, and Your Majesty doesn't need to spend so much energy to do this for a Dongfu, it shouldn't be this thing......," an official immediately denied this statement.

Several officials looked at Han Yi, hoping that Han Yi would give a more confident answer, everyone knows that the emperor will not be untargeted, since there is a move, then naturally there is a point, since there is a point, then it is necessary to make this point clear, make some preparations in advance, so as to make a move in front of the emperor, and profit with the emperor's big move in the future. …,

"I'm afraid that this matter is indeed related to the war, but it must be related to the human altar...... Han Yi said when he saw that everyone was looking at him. His information has always been much better than ordinary people, and inside information is not something that ordinary ministers can have, and his words are generally more reliable. Han Yi is also more confident, because when the emperor wants to do something, sometimes he will give some orders in advance, and these words are a very important source of information.

"Does it really have anything to do with the war? Ge Lao, no, my Ming national strength is now in full swing, who else dares to be presumptuous in front of my Ming? An official asked in disbelief.

"Ge Lao, it has something to do with the human altar, what does it have to do with it?" Some people are not very concerned about military issues, but they are concerned about the problems of the human world.

Han Yi smiled slightly, kept stroking his beard, but didn't talk, looking profound.

"Please also ask the elder to explain ......," several officials flattered.

As he was talking, a "Your Majesty has arrived" shook up the discussion of the ministers.

……

After a bowing and saluting, it is today's court meeting.

"I'm a ......little late today, so I'll say I'm sorry first...... Yang Gengai said first.

The ministers said they didn't dare.

"Is there anything to do today?" Yang asked Gengai.

Shi Fenglai was the first to stand up and said two inconsequential things.

The ministers also paid attention to it, but they didn't dwell too much on these inconsequential matters.

After Shi Feng had finished speaking, an official stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has something unclear, and I ask Your Majesty to make it clear......."

"Oh, what's the matter?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Back to Your Majesty, I heard rumors in the capital today that Your Majesty intends to rebuild the geographical chronicle, I don't know if it's true?" The official asked. After the official finished asking, the ministers of the first hall all looked at Yang Reform.

Yang Gengai laughed a few times, your sense of smell is still quite commanding, and your bait is quite successful.

"Well, but there is such a thing, I feel that the error of the geographical atlas is still too large, which will lead to a misjudgment of the military situation, without a precise and accurate map, and even the production of a sand table has no basis, which is very inconvenient,...... Han Qing's family, if I remember correctly, my Ming Dynasty's geography has not been repaired for many years, right? It's always been the same as before......" Yang said.

"Back to Your Majesty, it is true, my Ming Dynasty's geographical chronicles, since the beginning of the founding of the country, have been repaired, called "Ming Dynasty Unification Chronicles", however, this chronicle is not very accurate, there are many mistakes, it is really not very convenient to use, and later it has undergone generations of additions and revisions, which is only slightly better, but it is still not precise...... Han Yi immediately stood up and replied.

"Yes! The geographical chronicle compiled by the official Ming Dynasty has countless errors, full of loopholes, and is basically unusable, and now there is a precise and accurate map such as the "Kunyu Wanguo Quantu", in comparison, it seems that the geographical chronicle of my dynasty is unbearable and shabby,...... Since it is going to be repaired, then it must be repaired well, at least it cannot be worse than the "Kunyu Wanguo Quantu", otherwise, I am dignified, and the Heavenly Empire cannot afford to lose that face......" Yang Reform said.

"What Your Majesty said is very ......," Han Yi saw the emperor say this, and immediately took over the conversation and agreed.

This court is indeed more active, or maybe it is Yang Reform's habit, no matter what, there are always people who oppose it.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks it's inappropriate." As soon as Han Yi's words fell, some people stood up against it.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Yang asked Gengai.

"Your Majesty, revising the geographical chronicles has always cost a lot of money, Your Majesty thinks ......twice," the minister said, he really couldn't come up with any reason, and he could only take this out and talk about it, in fact, the emperor is not short of money now, and this reason is the same as not saying. …,

"I know that the household department doesn't have much silver, and I have ...... this money," Yang Gai said.

The official's head shrank, and sure enough, as he thought, the emperor would say this, since the emperor said so, then his business would be done, and the rest would not be his business, the most important thing for him was to show his attitude and show his existence.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the geographical chronicle ordered by my Ming official is indeed full of loopholes, and it is indeed unbearable to use, compared to today's exquisite geographical atlas, it is really shabby, it is really incomparable, and it is indeed necessary to revise it......" Shi Fenglai quickly stood up and spoke for the emperor on this issue, and repaired the geographical chronicles, this thing, almost every generation of emperors of the Ming Dynasty are doing, and the problem of cultivating the chronicles has always been attached great importance to every emperor, so the actual emperor wants to re-survey and map the map, Revising the geographical chronicles is not a big deal at all, and there is no need to fight at all, this is the emperor's right.

"Well, that's a good point...... I am indeed going to re-survey the map, reformulate the rules of mapping, and map out a more detailed and accurate map, so as to surpass the current more detailed and accurate map, so that it can appear that the imperial court is solemn and ......, and I am still inquiring about this matter, and I have to wait for me to ask about it......

None of the ministers really planned to stop the emperor from cultivating the geographical chronicles, and they were more concerned about what was behind the emperor's cultivation of the geographical chronicles. But the emperor said for a long time, and he didn't reveal anything about what was implied in this matter, which made many ministers very anxious.

This little court discussion, there is nothing else, and after easily deciding such a thing, it will be dispersed. The ministers' minds are not on the government, but on what the purpose of rebuilding the geographical chronicle is.

……

The court discussion was dispersed.

There are still many people around Han Yi, begging Han Yi to give him some clarification, now this matter is a matter of different opinions, if you don't get accurate information, then you will miss a very important opportunity to invest first.

"Pavilion Senior, Pavilion Senior, you are always open and give your subordinates a solution, what is going on? ...... "An official, who flatters him so much.

Han Yi smiled on his face, if he didn't get the emperor's "guidance", he might not know much about this matter, after getting the emperor's guidance, and then looking at the gap between these people and the emperor, it would be too obvious.

"Elder Ge, it's not that Your Majesty wants to take advantage of the matter of rebuilding the geographical chronicle to measure the acres of land in the world......" An official said his inner thoughts.

"No, no......" Han Yi, who knew the inside story, heard it and immediately laughed.

“…… Your Majesty may not be in the mood to do this, even if you really clean up the acres of land in the world, how many more stones can you collect? Your Majesty can see it? His Majesty has many means of accumulating wealth, and His Majesty disdains this kind of thankless task......" Han Yi said with a smile. It is not surprising to have this kind of thought, the officials of the world are all doing tricks and feet on the acres of land, and they are all taking advantage of the imperial court, and it is natural to be afraid that the emperor will clean up the acres, but Han Yi knows that the emperor will never offend so many people in the world in order to collect a few more stones, and the emperor may not be able to see the tax income from the cleanup.
