Capital.

The Ministry of Rites was busy, including the reproduction of the map of the Ming Dynasty, and the provinces, capitals, Xuanwei Divisions, Xuanfu Divisions, vassal states, and regions, according to the new cartographic technology, were more detailed than before, and there was already a prototype of the map of later generations.

Zhu Gaochi has seen some of them, and he can generally recognize them.

The winter of the fourth year of Yongle.

As Zhu Di's return to the dynasty approached, not only the Ministry of Rites, but also all ministries became more and more busy.

The exploration staff who traveled all over the barren mountains and mountains brought back a large number of materials and notes, which were included one by one, including minerals in various places, and even local customs.

"Daming now has Liaodong Province, Northern Parallel Province, Daning Province, Kai Parallel Province, Senan Province, Shanxi Province, Shaanxi Province, Western Regions Province, Yili Province, Shandong Province, Henan Province, Sichuan Province, Hubei Province, Hunan Province, Yingtian Province, Zhejiang Province, Jiangxi Province, Guangdong Province, Guangxi Province, Guizhou Province, Yunnan Province, Jiaozhi Province."

"Implement the three-division system, one capital and twenty-two provinces."

"Nuer Gandu Division, Saibei Capital Division, Eastern Chagatai Capital Division (Anxi Capital Division), Uszangdu Division, Duogandu Division, Champa Capital Division, Dayuan Capital Division, Samarkand Capital Division, Bukhara Capital Division, a total of nine major capital divisions."

"Dagu Thorn Propaganda Division, Diwu Thorn Propaganda Division, Demasa Propaganda Division, Mengyang Propaganda Division, Lichuan Ping-Burma Propaganda Division, Myanmar Propaganda Division, Mubang Propaganda Division, Cheli Propaganda Division, Eight Hundred Dadian Propaganda Division, Laos Propaganda Division, Tashkent Propaganda Division, Barihei Propaganda Division, Mulu Propaganda Division, Yulong Jiechi Propaganda Division, Mashhad Propaganda Division, Herat Propaganda Division, 17th National Congress Propaganda Division."

There are still a small number of Xuanwei Divisions in the territory, but at this stage, they are being reformed from land to flow, or the power is small, and there is no detailed marking.

The final map, the first version of which was placed on the desk of the Ministry of Rites.

The ministers surrounded the new map, and their hearts were proud and emotional.

on the map.

City after city has not only restored its population, but also restored its local productivity.

Scholars of social organizations, wearing brand new glasses.

The glasses of the Song Dynasty were made of craftsmen polishing crystal, using wood to make brackets, the cost was high, ordinary people could not afford to use them, during the Ming Dynasty, glasses were introduced to Italy from China, with the success of the Western industrialization reform, the productivity increased greatly, and the glasses gradually became popular in the West.

In Jinzhou and Beiping, it is already possible to make glasses with metal frames, but the weight is not light, so there are glasses that are held by hand and used to read books, and there is a kind of glasses that are hung on the bridge of the nose, which are not suitable for sports.

"Actually, it should be changed back to the old name."

The scholar said in frustration.

He once proposed that Samarkand, and even Mulu, and other regions, be changed back to the old names of China, such as Dawan Dusi, Dayue Dusi, Kangju Dusi, etc., these ancient countries have been subjugated to China since ancient times.

For example, Kangjuguo.

It is one of the 36 countries in the Western Regions, and has had contacts with China very early, and is very submissive, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, with the disappearance of the Tang Dynasty's influence in the Western Regions, the Kangju Kingdom also quickly disappeared because of the war.

The bustling Western Regions gradually became desolate and became a no-man's land.

It's just his own proposal, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't support it.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that the past is in the past, and it will be recorded in history, so that future generations will not forget and know that it once existed.

It doesn't really matter if you can restore the old name or use a new name, but it is important to look to the future, and in order to urge people not to indulge in the past, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will adopt his own opinion.

"Mr. Zhou, don't mind, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not against your opinion."

The Ministry of Rites official comforted.

The scholar smiled, "It's just a pity, the good name has been changed to a mess, how nice the names are Kangju, Dayue, and Dawan." ”

Everyone said a word, I said a word, and the atmosphere became annoyed.

The officials were also smiling.

In the new reform, the status of officials has been greatly improved, although there are still differences between officials, but they are not clearly distinguished, and there are clear regulations on the room for the rise of officials, as long as they have outstanding political achievements, they can also be officials.

The scholar raised his head and felt the peaceful scene in the room, and his heart was also moved.

So he said in public, "Emperor Taizu proposed to revive the Song system, and established many regulations, more than 30 years, although effective, in fact, in the next view, only one core has been ignored." ”

Hearing the scholar's words, the officials kept smiling and did not answer much, but the officials took the initiative to speak.

The scholar was unimpressed and said fearlessly: "The Song Dynasty attached the most importance to the spirit of contract. ”

"With the development of the contract system in the Song Dynasty, the contract at that time was able to become a document that proved the establishment of the contractual relationship. Contracts have been widely used in a series of social life aspects such as buying, selling, pawning, mortgage, leasing, hiring, and adopting in people's daily life. ”

Scholars have again begun to speak at length.

Professional habits.

Since the introduction of the examination system, scholars of all personalities have learned how to present their ideas and results. Those scholars who can speak, who can sort out their own ideas, have an advantage in this system.

In response to such a phenomenon, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said.

Humans are social creatures.

Communication is the foundation of the development of human society, so communication ability is also one of the basic qualities of scholars.

Scholars are used to it.

The officials also knew what a scholar was like, and that he was a man of great talent and a unique vision that could bring them a new perspective, so no one interrupted the scholar's speech.

The scholar said happily: "The prevalence of contractual relations has also become one of the symbols of the highly developed property relations and commodity relations between people during this period. ”

Based on the status of "household and people" given to them by the society of the Song Dynasty, the people of the society have participated in the social life under the contract regulation. ”

"At that time, all the people who voluntarily entered into a contractual relationship were in the position of independent parties from an objective point of view, and in the contract, regardless of their status, whether they were high or low, noble or low, they all participated in it as an independent and equal personality, and they were all first-class citizens of the state."

"After the establishment of the contractual relationship, the people only temporarily formed a temporary contractual economic relationship, and there was no very close personal dependence between them, which promoted that they were equal in personality."

"This is the core essence of Song Dynasty society, and it is based on this equality of personality that the social structure of the main body of civil legal relations of the people in the Song Dynasty has changed, making it present the spirit of social contract in pursuit of equality, which is also an important embodiment of the progress of social civilization in the Song Dynasty."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince often said that material civilization and spiritual civilization should be grasped together, and the foundation of material civilization in the Song Dynasty was strong, but in terms of spiritual civilization, there were shortcomings in some aspects, which caused external military defeats."

"As His Royal Highness the Crown Prince once said, there are pros and cons to everything, and the Song Dynasty's high degree of material development has laid the cause and effect for the Song Dynasty's military failure."

"In the early Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu organized immigration again and again, and the scale was huge, but now His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is supervising the country and urging the people to immigrate, which has become the most difficult problem."

"This is the pros and cons of everything, since the people have a personality, the personality is equal, and our dynasty is getting richer and richer, and no people are willing to leave the mainland, then the easiest thing to do in the past has become the most difficult thing to do in our dynasty."

Scholars make their own judgments based on the appearance of things, completely ignoring the opinions of the people around them.

Quite a few people calmed down.

Shangshu Lu Zhen was very unhappy.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has not done satisfactorily in some aspects, but in some aspects it is too much to his taste, such as restrictions on power.

The power of the imperial power was too great.

A word can determine life and death, and it can overturn the rules reached by society.

Many people don't say it on their lips, but they have thoughts in their hearts.

Otherwise, why is the new school in Beiping, and the recent rise of Xingxue, getting stronger and stronger? Because it is in line with social trends, people's inner expectations.

The people don't want to have powerful officials on their heads.

Officials also don't want an emperor on their heads who can decide life and death at will.

In this regard, Lu Zhen believes that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has done a very good job, can guide the direction of society, and even let the court change according to his own wishes, but he cannot break the rules.

What are the rules?

Rules are the balance and tacit understanding reached by all aspects of society after trial and compromise, everyone abides by the rules, ensures order, and thus ensures the stability of the society.

A stable society is the hope of all people in the world.

What the people want is to live and work in peace and contentment.

Only the strong will hope to make profits in chaos.

Shangshu's expression, many people saw it, and no one held the scholar, the scholar talked for a long time, no one echoed him, he was bored, lost interest, and left the Ministry of Rites not long after.

"Send it to the Mandarin Palace."

Seeing that everyone had no problems, Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, finally said to the people, and the officials next to him nodded, and each stepped forward to put away the map and put it in the box.

"Mr. Zhou has always been open-mouthed, and the ministry smiled."

An official who has a good relationship with scholars stepped forward and said softly.

Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was not angry.

Opposite.

Whether it is his own cultivation or public opinion in society, he has forced Lu Zhen to be generous.

The social atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty was not the social atmosphere of the Qing Dynasty.

The Qing Dynasty paid attention to respect.

The master's set has already said it all.

The same slew the slave.

The latter is the master killing the slave, and the law is nothing more than a fine and other regulations, and the other is that the "righteous father" kills the "son", which will not only be punished legally, but also morally condemned by public opinion.

For example, in the early days, private coal mines did not report, and there were all kinds of illegal things in the mines.

The existence of these phenomena does not mean that the law supports the coal bosses, but only because of economic dependency.

The social phenomenon of personality equality in the Song Dynasty was deliberately misinterpreted by some people as the Song Dynasty and scholars ruled the world.

Because of the historical inertia of the previous dynasty, although the Ming Dynasty proposed to restore the Song system, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated in the Great Ming Law that the use of slaves for specific meritorious deeds was allowed, creating a phenomenon of inequality in personality on a small scale.

In the royal palace, for example, there is still a master-servant relationship.

But in the Qing Dynasty, this relationship was amplified to society, and the cities in various places created personality inequality in all directions, and finally took root in the deep spirit of braids.

It can be said that after the death of the Song Dynasty, the height of ancient social civilization never reached the level of the Song Dynasty, from the decline of the Yuan Dynasty, to the recovery of the Ming Dynasty, and even the overall decline of the Qing Dynasty, falling into the abyss, directly regressing for 2,000 years.

Based on such a phenomenon, Lu Zhen was very generous and didn't care at all.

Maintaining harmony with social elites is the embodiment of social public opinion.

The squires of the Ming Dynasty were not inherited by blood.

It was changed by reading books.

Different from the aristocratic hereditary system, it is also different from the Jiupin Zhengzhong system, and nepotism is also eliminated, especially Zhu Yuanzhang formulated the Bagu Wen, which ensures the way that commoners can change their own class by reading to the greatest extent.

Criticizing such a system also cannot be double-standard.

Compared with the elite education of the West in later generations, at least the Ming Dynasty examination emphasized equality for everyone, everyone read the same books, the same content of the exam, and did not allow the content of the exam that only the rich could afford.

Only one, two, and three are tested.

No piano, no dance, no speech.

Therefore, in order to find out what exactly is opposed, since we must pay attention to rationality, we must seriously think about it.

Therefore, Zhou scholars offended Shangshu in the Ministry of Rites, and no one cared too much.

Locally.

There are also people who point at the feudal platform and scold.

Ordinary scholars pointed at the nose of the governor of a province and scolded, regardless of their own interests, and even won some people to praise his style, which most countries in later generations could not do.

Unlike the West, yes.

The Ming Dynasty finally lost the world.

Just as the glory of childhood comes from the father, the glory of the father when he grows old comes from the son.

Failure is sin.

Heroes are judged by results.

Just as those words were said in front of the British officials in the nineteenth century, in the nineteenth century, any country in the world dared to think so.

If the XII century.

Britain is completely down, more rhetoric is coming, and there will even be no one who cares about Britain and does not give Britain a picture, just like no one in the international community cares about the naval state.

If you have milk, you are just a mother.

Whoever praises whom.

Equally.

If it is not the great rejuvenation of China in later generations, others who mention that you are not a Ming Dynasty will not care at all, let alone the United States will be wary of saying that the rabbit wants to restore the Ming Dynasty's suzerainty system.

Now.

The Ming Emperor was about to return to the dynasty, not only the Ming Dynasty moved up and down, but the Tusi, the envoys of the vassal states, and even the Laos consolation envoys and others came to the capital in advance to wait for the return of His Majesty the Ming Emperor.

A grand ceremony is about to be held in the capital of Daming.

Because of the current Da Ming.

No. 1 in the world.

Then Daming has become an example for people all over the world to learn.

People talk about this Da Ming with great talk.

"Daming is too civilized."

"Their officials don't pay attention to blood, they don't look at their background, they only look at their ability."

"Daming attaches great importance to education, and private schools everywhere have today's Daming."

"The streets of Daming are very clean, there is not even a little garbage, and their people are very moral, so their quality is the highest."

"Their readers, they read on the bus."

"Indeed, when I took the Daming bus, the passengers on the bus, they didn't make a lot of noise, but read the newspaper quietly."

Overmatch.

There's never a shortage of compliments.

When envoys from all over the world entered Beijing, people talked and praised.

They couldn't see that in some places, some of the Ming refugees were begging on the streets, because they ignored them.

They don't see that in some prisons, officials are looking for connections to get out.

They can't see the big businessmen of the Ming Dynasty yet, and they are vigorously deploying overseas, in order to get rid of the suppression of the Ming court.

Not to mention the goodness of Daming, how to prove that they have come to Daming, and how to reflect their show-off heart.

As for Da Ming's badness, it must not be said.

Otherwise, the effect is reduced by at least half.

And Da Ming.

It is indeed the most powerful country of the moment.

So.

Countless words of praise gathered in the capital.

Ideal country.

"Daming is an ideal country."

Some people put forward new ideas, which were appreciated by the majority.

Polondo Raja.

Wandering around the capital, he was ordered by the King of Siam to send an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, in addition to welcoming the return of the Ming Emperor, but also to persuade the Ming court.

Last year.

Siam's move to completely annex Sukhothai caused the wrath of the Ming officials in the Propaganda Department in Laos, who repeatedly demanded that Siam withdraw its troops and threatened to send troops to Siam in conjunction with neighboring countries.

The annexation of Sukhothai has been Siam's long-cherished wish for many years.

In fact, the Sukhothai Kingdom has been taken over by Siam for more than ten years, but only because of the influence of the Sukhothai king, the local resistance to the greatest extent has retained the name of the Sukhothai king.

Who knew that the Ming Dynasty was becoming more and more influential in Southeast Asia, and even demanded that Siam withdraw its troops from the Kingdom of Sukhothai.

This is equivalent to letting Siam spit out the meat that he swallowed intact.

Not only the king of Siam could not accept it, but also the generals in the country could not accept it, so they kept delaying, and finally took advantage of the main military strength of the Ming Dynasty to use in the west, after inquiring about the situation, the king of Siam ordered to kill the king of Sukhothai, and declared that he was sick and died.

Since the king is gone, and there is no direct bloodline, Siam justifiably directly controls the Sukhothai kingdom, and says that it is to learn the system of the previous dynasty.

"Rock sugar gourd."

The small vendor carried a bright red sugar gourd, which attracted a few children.

The little girl in the cyan pink dress took her brother's hand, trotted to catch up with the vendor, bought two strings of rock sugar gourds, one for each person, and went home happily.

The simple scene made Polondoraja in the distance stunned.

He had a lot of dealings with the Ming Dynasty.

The children were ordinary children.

They don't eat sugar gourds to fill their stomachs, just to satisfy their cravings.

Satisfy your cravings.

It was the word he learned in Daming.

What a luxurious language.

The people of Siam are still struggling to make ends meet.

In only half a year, Polondo Raja was already able to speak fluent Da Ming, went to Da Ming several times, and met half of South China, so it can be said that his knowledge is not low.

"Bolondamore."

"What's wrong?"

Bolondaimo looked at his leader curiously.

"Is this kind of Ming something we can defeat?"

Polondoraja sent an envoy to the Ming Dynasty, not only to befriend the Ming Dynasty, but also to investigate the Ming Dynasty, if the Ming did not change his attitude, it was very likely to launch a war against Siam.

Many people in the country are uneasy.

The king was also somewhat timid.

Polondoraja supported the annexation, and the more he came to Daming, the more he learned, and the more determined his heart became.

There is no retreat in Siam.

The world of great controversy.

He definitely didn't believe that Daming would have good intentions.

In the process of the expansion of the Ming Dynasty, how to maintain the independence of Siam, for the future of Siam, Polondo Raja felt that only by expanding, the same expansion, could he survive in the waves.

"One shoulder and one head, what can't be defeated."

Blom Demo doesn't speak the Ming dialect, in the old man's dialect.

The two of them were on the streets of the capital, talking words that others could not understand, and Polondoraja smiled from time to time, and the people passing by were also smiling, thinking that they were ordinary strangers.

Polondoraja couldn't help but pat Polondaimo on the shoulder.

He used to look down on people like Polon Dymore, thinking that such people don't know how to be flexible and can't learn.

But he suddenly found out.

In fact, a country, especially when it is weak, needs such people.

When I was in Daming the year before last, I read the old newspaper of Daming, which said that the most patriotic people are always the common people, and they slaughtered dogs with righteousness, and they were mostly scholars.

It is not only explained from the perspective of both, but also from the perspective of practical interests.

At that time, Polondoraja couldn't quite understand it, but now he is more and more awake.

Oh, yes.

There is only one way for the common people to love the country.

The more resources a country has, as long as the government is harmonious, the people will live a more peaceful life, on the contrary, no matter how politically harmonious the country is, if there are not many resources, it will not be peaceful.

And if there is a case, the people do not have the extra resources to help them tide over the difficulties.

Opposite.

"Readers" are different.

Their ability to resist risks is not comparable to that of ordinary people, and even their value of being enveloped is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Therefore, the common people have only one way to love the country.

Polondoraja firmly believed.

The Ming may win over the upper echelons of Siam and give them benefits, but the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be able to give the interests of the entire Siamese people, and the Ming Dynasty itself has a lot of problems.

Polondoraja saw it clearly.

Da Ming is too big.

There are still a lot of poor people inside.

If the Ming Dynasty could treat the people of Siam equally and give them the same treatment, even if the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty were crazy, Polondora Jaja firmly believed that the Ming court would not be able to afford it even if it emptied its own treasury.

So.

The only thing the people of Siamese can count on is their people themselves.

Polondoraka patted Polondaimo the shoulder again.

"Good Bolondam, it won't be long before we have to fight side by side."

"Okay."

Polon Demo said happily.

At this time, Polon Daimo didn't understand what the leader meant.

A snake can't be without a head.

In the superstructure, as long as there are a few people who take the lead, the interests of the common people are the priority, and the two are smoothly combined, then a force can be formed, and if the building is all rotten, it means that this group is finished.

Again, this is a social contradiction.

Both repulsive and inseparable.

Street corner.

The figures of several inspectors appeared, majestic uniforms, these Ding cha who had retired from the army and were selected after the assessment, and soon disappeared into the streets, looking at the back of the departure, Polondoraja couldn't help but show a wry smile.

Such opponents.

It's just too hard.

How great it would be to be able to defeat such an opponent.

Polondoraja doubted he could do it.

I can't help but think.

If someone else could do it, what would it be?

Maybe I made some recommendations some time ago, and I have been reported a lot recently, so I decided to stop updating for two days, it was originally a niche book, and I didn't want to make so many troubles, so I could dissipate the heat, and let friends who like this book read quietly.
