Chapter 46: Talking in the Car

How did He Xi answer?

He Xi pondered for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, after six hundred years, I will only be a student, not even as good as the current students of Guozijian. At most, I am a student of the state capital, and I really don't know how the highest level of the imperial court operates, but I often hear that when encountering major decisions, the above will hold some consultation meetings, symposiums, and will summon relevant scholars to consult. ”

"Scholars?" These four words caused Zhu Yuanzhang to sigh with infinite emotion.

Because in the Ming Dynasty, there is no so-called related scholar at all. As far as the problem of Mo Nan is concerned, no one in the government and the opposition can give Zhu Yuanzhang such an analysis. The so-called great Confucians, who will be benevolent, righteous, loyal and filial, and the orthodoxy of the mandate of heaven, can do it. The paperwork is also adequate. However, it is not possible to analyze a place professionally and comprehensively for decision-making.

Even the people in the Hanlin Academy, the so-called Shilin Seeds, couldn't do such a thing. Or they don't bother to do these trivial and hard things, I don't know if it's the way to treat Confucianism.

And what made Zhu Yuanzhang even more frustrated was that others might think that He Xi was a real countryman, but only he knew that He Xi was a pseudo-countryman. The reason why he has the status he is now is the result of the generations to come.

But what he was more worried about was that the wisdom He Xi could get from the afterlife was always limited.

What will happen in the future?

He Xi said: "Your Majesty, the minister actually thinks that it is good to learn and excel, but if a scholar is just to be an official, it is too much." There should also be a presence dedicated to learning. This learning is not just Confucianism. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I understand what you mean. It's just a long way to go. ”

He Xi has been in Daming for more than half a year. Zhu Yuanzhang has been thinking about the future for more than half a year. But Zhu Yuanzhang has always been very cautious in national policy, and he values He Xi only as a political signal.

In other political matters, almost everything is business as usual.

It's not that Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't mean to move, but the more Zhu Yuanzhang wants to move, the more he knows that governing a big country is like cooking small fresh, and it is in a hurry.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't talk much about this topic, and said: "Lian Zining and Huang Zicheng, these two people, young and old, have studied with you for a while, which is enough." These two entered the secretary prison and hung the seven-grade secretary Lang. Sent to Mobei to inspect on behalf of me. You have a lot of things that you haven't said today, have you? ”

He Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "Your Majesty is wise." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "If you don't say something, let the two of them do it." ”

He Xi said: "Yes." He paused slightly, and said; Your Majesty, it's not that the minister excuses me, I also think that Lian Zining and Huang Zicheng are talents that can be created, but after all, their time to study with me is too short, and the minister is worried that it will be difficult for them to take on the big responsibility. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I know, but no one can use it." Stabilize the imperial court on the grassland. It will take a long time to accomplish this. I may not be able to finish it in this life, so time is running out. Neither of them was a child, and they were both over twenty. Can't you still entrust it with big things? ”

"If you don't learn enough, you have to practice in things, and besides, you are not their teacher, if there is anything, I can write to you and ask you."

He Xi was first overjoyed, and then said uneasily; "Your Majesty, this is not good. Isn't this a clique for personal gain? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "What's wrong, the government and the opposition have always been like this." I don't say it, and it's not that I don't know. You will do things in the future, how can you do without arms. Let's start with the two of them. You few petty officials, what kind of selfish can you form a party to? ”

He Xi said: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "There are two more things, I will do it if I go down, the first Mingjian Hall will expand its enrollment, how can there be only a few dozen, at least one or two hundred people." You can recruit from the Guozi supervision, or you can recruit directly from the provincial government below. Second, quickly organize what you want to talk about into teaching materials. You can't be here all the time. Do you understand? ”

He Xi said: "The minister understands. The minister also has one thing, please instruct Your Majesty. ”

"Say." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

He Xi said: "I want to compile all the homework of today's students into a book. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's brows moved slightly, and he said, "You don't hide your head and tail from me." Say, "What is your purpose?" Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his son-in-law had a cautious attitude in his bones. Or not self-confidence. To do things is to strive to be safe. A lot of things are not done well.

To tell the truth, Zhu Yuanzhang is confident that his love for He Xi is no less than that of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for Huo Quai, how arrogant Huo Qubing is, and He Xi does things, it is simply an old lady with small feet, too safe.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that Huo Qubing had been raised in the palace since he was a child, and he had always been above 10,000 people. But if He Xi hadn't had this adventure, he would have been just an ordinary person in his life. I don't know how much pressure there is, every opportunity is precious for such a person.

As a person who couldn't even get the first place in the school in the exam, let him be arrogant, and he couldn't be arrogant.

Zhu Yuanzhang's judgment of He Xi is very correct. He Xi really hid a whole set of plans. He Xi said: "The reason why the minister did this is that it has become a practice since then and evolved into an academic journal. It started with the Ming Jian Hall, and finally formed the highest historical journal of the Ming Dynasty. From the change of the style of learning in the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Second, to start the way for the newspaper."

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned and said, "Newspaper, is it really that important?" ”

There is a generation gap between people, and there will be a huge generation gap between father and son in 20 years, let alone 600 years. Zhu Yuanzhang worked very hard to understand many things in later generations, but the more he understood, the more difficult it became to understand. For example, newspapers.

Although he understands the newspaper, he still doesn't understand the influence and ability of the newspaper.

For people living in the old times, it is difficult to understand the power of the new.

"Your Majesty, the biggest role of newspapers is to control public opinion. The right of opinion is a very important power in later generations. He Xi said; Your Majesty, now the power of public opinion in the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of Shilin, and even the name behind His Majesty, the things in front of him, cannot escape the hands of this generation. Your Majesty must not be careless. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered his various notorieties after six hundred years, and his brows tightened slightly.

Zhu Yuanzhang has never claimed to be a good person, and he has never been afraid of killing. If killing solves the problem, killing a thousand people and killing 10,000 people, he doesn't blink an eye. It's just that many things have been passed down in later generations, and they are extremely vicious, and they regard him as a murderer.

This is what he can never bear and will not endure.

Just for this one thing, Zhu Yuanzhang always tries newspapers.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at He Xi, and said secretly in his heart: "However, He Xi is gentle and spittering." Count on him, I guess in a few months, and I'll have to do it myself. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said this, but he didn't tell He Xi. Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "You can do this." ”

He Xi didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking in his heart. He secretly said in his heart: "This thing can be spread out one by one." But I didn't know that Zhu Yuanzhang had other plans a long time ago.

He Xi got off Zhu Yuanzhang's carriage halfway.

Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the palace, called the prince over first, and said; "Di Bao is in charge of the General Administration, right?"

The prince didn't know what to do, nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Yuanzhang does not think that there is anything new about the newspaper is the prototype of the newspaper, that is, the Di newspaper. It has a long history in ancient China. It seems to have existed in the Han Dynasty. It has always been circulated in the form of hand-copied copies.

is informal. Someone specializes in this, but it's also rudimentary.

Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't think there is anything different about it being officially printed.

However, since Zhu Yuanzhang had decided to do this, he was very neat and said: "In the future, the report will be supervised by the secretary, and the prince, you will do this matter yourself." From today onwards, the newspaper will be published every ten years and distributed to all yamen and prefectures in the world. The central policy, the information of all parties, and the military intelligence are all included. ”

The prince was a little puzzled, so he agreed and said, "Yes, it's just that Erchen doesn't understand this matter." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I don't understand to understand myself." Just do it. ”

The prince could only say, "Yes." ”
