The positive significance of the tribute of the vassal state is very great, whether it is the civil ministers or the military generals, and even the common people of the capital, they are all honored.

In order to reflect the benevolence and generosity of the Celestial Empire, the ministers all played Zhu Di, and the return gift must not be shabby.

Li Qing didn't think much of these face-saving behaviors, but it was not easy to stop them, after all, they had just resumed diplomatic relations, and in order to better communicate with overseas countries in the future, it was nothing to suffer a little loss.

The ancients had a good name and a good reputation, and Zhu Di was not exempt from vulgarity, and the return gifts to several vassal states were quite generous, even if the price difference was put aside, it was worth twice the tribute.

The envoys of various countries smiled happily and expressed their gratitude again and again before leaving.

Li Qing was afraid of these people, and in the future, he would come to pay tribute at every turn, so he suggested that Zhu Di should limit the tribute.

- Tributary once every five years!

The ministers did not allow it, saying: The Celestial Empire has great tolerance, and people should not be turned away for the sake of profit and loss, as long as people come, they are welcome at any time.

But not all the ministers opposed Li Qing, such as Xia Yuanji, he was quite supportive of Li Qing.

Not only him, but Dao Yan and Xiaopang all supported Li Qing.

There are not many people who support Li Qing, but the weight is extremely heavy.

Zhu Di has a good face, but he is not a stupid son of the landlord's family, and after thinking about it, he folded it.

- Tributary triennial!

……

Weaving Bureau, Porcelain Kiln, Longjiang Shipyard...... Li Qing is paying close attention, and he has a deep understanding of the feeling of vitality and prosperity.

However, the expenses of the imperial court are indeed large, and the money is like running water.

Xia Yuanji saw it in his eyes and felt pain in his heart, and repeatedly played Zhu Di to stop repairing the book first, but Zhu Di resolutely refused to allow it.

Sometimes Zhu Di was annoyed, so he sent Xia Yuanji to western Zhejiang to supervise the flood control affairs, so that Lao Xia had no temper at all.

Occasionally, when Li Qing is in his spare time, he will also go to Wenyuan Pavilion to see how to repair books.

The total number of people who have repaired the book has reached a terrifying 3,000, all of whom are well-educated and write quite beautifully.

Moreover, the revision of books is also different from Li Qing's imagination, it is not simply copying books, but first classifying the collected books, sorting them out, and then translating them, and re-transcribing them with the grammar of this time.

As he learned more, he felt more and more that the significance of repairing books was significant.

Because the books of this era are not like those of later generations, although the printing technology has been popularized, the phenomenon of self-cherishing of brooms is too serious, and many books are unique and have not been disseminated.

But, who made Zhu Di the emperor, a decree was issued: those who hand over the books will be rewarded, and those who collect books will be punished!

A large number of solitary books were continuously transported to Jingshi, from the pre-Qin period to the former dynasties, and all kinds of books of all kinds were present.

It is foreseeable that without this general mobilization for book revision, many books would gradually disappear into the long river of history with the passage of time.

What surprised Li Qing even more was that many truths hidden by the rulers also surfaced with this book revision.

You must know that history books are not only officially repaired, but also many well-educated people who secretly poke and poke the history, and then pass it on from generation to generation.

They are more authentic than official political correctness.

And Zhu Di also made a positive decision on this phenomenon, when there is a conflict, it is not possible to judge right or wrong because of his background, which is more logical and reasonable, and which one is the standard.

It does not involve the dynasty, and the officials can naturally do what they are ordered without scruples.

In order to make these people work better, Zhu Di ordered Guanglu Temple to prepare meals for them, which were delivered to their mouths by eunuchs, and those who repaired books only had to eat.

At the same time, Zhu Di also sent Jinyi guards to protect their safety, and the treatment was so good that it was endless.

Editor-in-chief Xie Jin, producer Yao Guangxiao, and well-educated people from the Hanlin Academy are all involved.

In addition, those folk talents are not much inferior, especially the handwriting, which is pleasing to the eye and has an excellent appearance.

Collecting books from all over the world and cultivating them with thousands of talented people, we can predict how vast this book will be.

Li Qing couldn't help but sigh: Outside the canon, there will be no other books.

Known as the first encyclopedia in history, the Yongle Canon had an immeasurable influence on China, and although in the end, most of it was lost, it still left an indelible achievement.

Such as: "Old Tang Book", "History of the Old Five Dynasties", "Song Hui to Compil", "Continuation of Capital Governance Tongjian Long Compilation", "Water Injection Sutra", "Xue Rengui's Expedition to Liao", ......

These books were either lost and excerpted from the Yongle Canon by the Qing Dynasty; Either it surfaced when the ceremony was repaired and passed on to future generations.

Moreover, Li Qing also noticed that many people copied sentences and memorized sentences, trying their best to memorize the content.

In this era, there is no entertainment corrosion, the ancients went to bed early and got up early, especially these readers, all of them have a good memory, and it is not difficult to memorize an article.

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Qing's mouth, and he had a deeper feeling for the positive meaning of the ceremony.

He sighed and whispered to himself: "The so-called general trend may not be able to change it, but I can still do it by keeping this book." ”

"What are you muttering?"

Li Qing was excited, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that it was Dao Yan, and he didn't have a good breath, "Why is your old man walking silently!" ”

"It's you who want to get into the spirits, what do you have to do with the poor monks?" Dao Yan thumped his waist and sat down, complaining, "The emperor is really, don't let you be young, but use me, an old man who is almost seventy years old." ”

"Who made you a master?" Li Qing smiled, lifted the teapot and added a cup of tea to him, and asked, "How long will it take to repair the book?" ”

Dao Yan smiled bitterly: "It will take a long time." ”

"......" Li Qing rolled his eyes, saw that the old monk was tired, and persuaded: "If you are tired, you will rest, and don't do your homework when you go back to the temple at night." ”

"That's not going to work." Dao Yan shook his head, "Just when I do my homework at night, my mind is calm, and I completely belong to me." ”

Li Qing teased: "It's all you asked for, you can always be a green light ancient Buddha, who makes you restless." ”

"Uh......" Dao Yan said, "Poor monks really can't practice at home, so they have to work harder." ”

Li Qing nodded with a smile, at this age, it is really commendable that Dao Yan can still have such spirit.

He has no feeling for Buddha, and feels that the Taoist spirit is more in line with him and reality, but he does not want to interfere with the beliefs of others.

Li Qing took a sip of tea and quipped: "I heard that the emperor rewarded you with a few beautiful women, are you really indifferent?" ”

After a pause, "If there is something unspeakable, I can prescribe medicine for you, with your physical condition, it shouldn't be a big problem to stay for a while." ”

Dao Yan's face was full of black lines, "Good intentions, I don't need it." ”

"Look at you, I'm also kind!" Li Qing was very interested in pulling the monk into the water, "Isn't there still Huanxi Zen in Buddhism, I don't look like an honest person, I don't believe you haven't practiced ......"

"Your uncle ......!" Dao Yan broke the defense, "We are a Taoist priest and a monk, and we don't talk more than half a sentence." ”

"Hey, don't go." Li Qing said awkwardly, "Talk about it for a while!" ”

Dao Yan hated and said: "Don't force the poor monk to become dirty." ”

Li Qing: "......"

At this time, Chubby walked slowly and sat on the chair, "You two go to the imperial study." ”

"What's the matter?"

"You'll find out when you go." Chubby added a cup of tea to himself and drank it all, "Hurry up!" ”

Li Qing nodded, seeing that he didn't mean to get up, "Aren't you going?" ”

"I'll go back later." The little fat cocked Erlang's legs, looking complacent.

Li Qing pulled him up, "Exercise more, it's good for you, let's go, let's go, let......'s go."

……

The Imperial Study.

Zhu Di was dealing with the music, and when he saw the three of them coming in, he waved his hand gently, and the palace maid and eunuch immediately retreated.

"Sit down!"

"Emperor Xie (Father)." The three of them said a cliché and pulled up a chair and sat down.

After the three of them sat down, Zhu Di spoke: "I want to fight!" ”

Li Qing Daoyan glanced at each other, both of them were full of wonder.

Dao Yan was puzzled: "If the emperor wants to go on a northern expedition, he should find the military department, the household department, and the generals, and the ministers and the Marquis of Yongqing don't care about the military." ”

"It's not the Northern Expedition, it's the capture of Annam." Zhu Di said in a deep voice, "Annan is bound to win." ”

Li Qing was confused, "Why?" ”

Zhu Di glared at him, "I ask you, do the treasure ships have to go along the coastline when they go to sea?" ”

"Aang."

"Is Annan on the coastline?"

Li Qing suddenly suggested: "Your Majesty, Congyun. Starting from the south, a little expansion is better! ”

Seeing that Lao Tzu was about to get mad, Xiaopang hurriedly took over the conversation: "Li Qing doesn't know yet, Daming is already in Laos, Mengyang, and Mubang...... the establishment of the Department of Military and Civilian Propaganda and Consolation;

In the southwest of the Ming Dynasty, a total of three propaganda and consolation divisions and six military and civilian propaganda and consolation divisions were set up, such as the Jiugang Propaganda and Consolation Division......"

Li Qing was dumbfounded, the officials of the Xuanfu Division were appointed by the imperial court, that is to say, several places have been included in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, although the Xuanfu Division is served by the local chief, but it is actually under the control of the Ming Dynasty.

(PS: The Propaganda Division is similar to the autonomous region.) ）

Li Qing digested Xiaopang's words, and his heart was shocked to the extreme, that is to say, Da Ming has now controlled Southeast Asia.

No, I've only been in the court for eight or nine months, so the imperial army can't be so fast...... Li Qing swallowed his saliva, "Little... Prince, when did this happen? ”

"Not long ago." Seeing his shocked face, Xiao Pang explained with a smile, "In fact, the imperial court almost didn't send troops, but just symbolically sent some people to go through the motions, and as soon as the father's decree arrived, they agreed." ”

"It's a big piece of the fart, I take them because I can afford them." Zhu Di squinted at Li Qing and said forcefully: "Isn't it unexpected?" ”

Li Qing was convinced: "The emperor is a martial artist!" ”

Although the fourth child is more hooligan, but in this way, he has made a lot of money, of course, the reason why the other party is so obedient is because they are too weak and have no capital to contend at all.

Coupled with Mu Qiang's psychology, he has no exclusion from attaching to Daming.

This time, there is an outlet to the Indian Ocean!

But, Annan is different.

First, his population is relatively large, almost one-tenth of that of the Ming Dynasty, and second, he is far away from the Ming Dynasty, so this trick will not work.

Li Qing groaned: "Your Majesty, if you have any difficulties in the conquest of Annan, you might as well talk about it, everyone will brainstorm and maybe be able to solve the emperor's concerns." ”

"The main thing is that the teacher is unknown." Zhu Di had a headache and said, "Emperor Taizu has designated Annan as a country that does not conquer, and they have always been honest, I ...... No excuses! ”
