Jiang Yi drank the wine, fortunately, before the dialogue character was set as Zhu Yuanzhang, he systematically read the documents summarized by the historian for himself, and had enough understanding of the various eras of the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, according to the frequency of Zhu Yuanzhang's questions, and Da Ming, who asked all of them, it would be really difficult for him to answer for a while.

This can be said to be enough for a historical and cultural host to die on the spot.

He quickly recalled the things about the Yongle Grand Ceremony in his mind, and said calmly: "The Yongle Grand Ceremony is a book of major Chinese classics in Dacheng ordered by Zhu Di to be compiled by Xie Jin, Yao Guangxiao and others, and it is the largest encyclopedia in the history of human civilization and can be called a world miracle. ”

"The Yongle Canon is a collection of astronomy, geographies, yin and yang, medical divination, monks, skills and other historical materials of the Chinese dynasties, integrating the culmination of Chinese culture, and providing a path for future generations to study various disciplines and cultures before the early Ming Dynasty. ”

Jiang Yi got up, strolled on the Yingtian Temple, and made an analogy: "Ancient classics are like Zheng He's treasure ships one after another, their form, language, content, and writing are all portrayals of civilization one after another, and they are priceless treasures of Chinese civilization. ”

"The Yongle Grand Ceremony is a treasure ship that carries the civilizations of the major eras in China, and it is the most precious treasure left by the Yongle Emperor for our future generations!"

Jiang Yi's words were beautiful, and his voice echoed on the Yingtian Palace: "Emperor Yongle spent a lot of manpower, material resources, and financial resources for this, although many people are puzzled, but he is still willing to bear this infamy and record that epic after epic for our future generations!"

His voice fell, and in the mirror of time and space, the Yongle Emperor appeared wearing a dragon robe, sitting on the dragon seat somewhat casually, leaning to the right, holding his mind lazily with his right hand, and his hair a little gray.

In the main hall where Emperor Yongle worked in the lower court, at this time, there were three red-robed old ministers.

Zhu Di half-squinted, and his left index finger casually tapped the tabletop, "Bang...... The subtle tapping sound of "dong" seemed to tell the ministers in the palace that I was very unhappy.

"Your Majesty, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the country has been fighting wars year after year, and the household department no longer has so many silver taels, otherwise, we should suspend the revision of the Yongle Canon, right?"

"Yes, Your Majesty, now is the time when the country needs to cultivate and recuperate, if it is because of the Yongle Grand Ceremony, the household department is empty, and if there is an urgent need in the Ming Dynasty, the household department will not be able to allocate funds......"

"Your Majesty, now the Wara, Tatar and other tribes, are still eyeing my Ming Dynasty, this time the revision of the Yongle Canon, just the participation of courtiers, scribes, and old Confucians, the number of scholars reached 21,600, plus to send people to search for all kinds of classics among the people, the money spent is too much......"

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had not yet reached the banks of the Trouble River, and the surrounding alien races attacked the Ming border from time to time, which was full of internal and external troubles.

A red-robed old minister with a goatee and looking to be in his fifties bowed down, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and he looked preoccupied: "At this time, if the Warat, Tatar and other tribes send troops to attack and start a big war with the Ming Dynasty, the household department will have no money for military needs." ”

"At that time, once the soldiers can't eat enough and can't wear good armor, Daming will be in danger!"

Several old ministers risked being beheaded and gave desperate advice in the main hall.

They believe that at present, the Ming Dynasty is far from being able to make a big deal of money, and it is undoubtedly a wrong decision to continue to spend so much money and energy to compile the Yongle Canon when the money is not rich and the country is not strong enough.

They can't let the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty have no armor, and they can't let the people on the border be under the sword of the aliens at all times!

We must also take precautions for the possible famine in the future of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Di's half-squinted eyes opened slightly, and he asked rhetorically, "Finished?"

“？？？”

The old ministers were all stunned, looking at His Majesty's expression, as if they hadn't heard anything?

"The Yongle Canon must be revised as soon as possible, no matter how much manpower and material resources it takes to pay the Ming Dynasty. ”

Zhu Di's tone didn't sound like much fluctuation, but it just gave people a chilling feeling.

He sat up straight and glanced at the three ministers.

"You are all the pillars of my Ming Dynasty, are you the first day you met me?"

"What is Warat? What is Tatar? If I hadn't taken into account the lack of finances, I would have taken charge of them and wiped them all out. ”

Zhu Di's voice casually revealed domineering: "But now, since the country has no money to fight, why not do something that can benefit the country and the people?"

"I, the civil officials and literati of the Ming Dynasty, can't do nothing!"

He said domineeringly: "I just want to compile the Yongle Canon, not only for the people of the present world, so that they can master more things, but also for the future generations!"

"Think about it carefully, from the beginning of the Qin Dynasty to our Ming Dynasty, in the past thousand years, how many classics have been burned in our China, or lost in the war, and how many medical skills and skills have either not been found in the classics, or have been lost!"

"I asked you to search for these classics, gather them in one place, and summarize a book that is the culmination of Chinese civilization for my future generations and thousands of people, why can't you?"

Zhu Di got up and walked in front of the three old ministers, first looking at the one on the far left, then at the middle of the eyes, and the one on the far right, not angry and arrogant: "I, don't you let the people cultivate and recuperate?"

"I asked you to compile the Yongle Canon, did you harm the people in the process?"

"When later generations mentioned Yongle for three years, they couldn't be allowed to say, ah, this emperor only knew enjoyment in the years when he didn't fight, and he didn't do anything for his people, right?"

"Didn't I raise a group of literati for nothing?"

The old minister in the middle sighed and said: "But Your Majesty, the most important thing at the moment is not whether the people are cultivating and recuperating, but that the money in our treasury is really not enough. ”

"If this continues, the state treasury will not be able to allocate any money if the local government is in trouble. ”

"As the head of the household, it is necessary for Weichen to remind His Majesty that he must not lose the hearts of the people because of the Yongle ceremony. ”

Zhu Di nodded, but his mouth was disdainful: "Heh! Are you embarrassed to say that you are the head of the household?"

"The country is short of money, you are not here to provide me with a feasible plan, but to tell me, ah, Your Majesty, the country is out of money, you can save it, right?"

"What I need is a book like this?"

"This ...... Your Majesty, Wechen must not let Your Majesty save it, and Wechen is not opposed to the revision of the Yongle Canon, but I just hope that it can be postponed for a few years......"

"Postpone it for a few years in the future, and Daming's money will be even more insufficient!"

Zhu Di was rarely angry, waved his arms, pointed to the map that had been placed behind the dragon throne and said, "Look at the border of the Ming Dynasty!"

"Warat Yexian, Tatar tribes, and Yili Sholi, which of these countries is not eyeing me now!"

"I can tell you now that sooner or later I will beat them to the ground!"

"I will never be the king of success, I just want to expand the territory!"

"The Yongle Ceremony must also be repaired!"

"Do you want to start a war with the alien race now, or continue to cultivate the Yongle Canon, now! Give me an answer immediately!"
