Rubbing the first volume of the "Yongle Canon" that he had just copied in his hand, or simply the first volume of the index catalog of the "Yongle Canon", Emperor Chongzhen almost burst into tears.

How many years has it been crossed? From the seventh year of the Apocalypse to the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, a full fourteen years!

Fourteen years, how many fourteen years are there in life?

When you go to the toilet, you have to use silk to wipe your ass, do you make it? Even peeing has the feeling that someone gives the dragon root, do you make it? Every day, you have to count which concubine's palace to go to, can you understand this tangled feeling?

Is it easy for me to cross over and become this emperor? Am I happy?

Yes, I'm very happy, you can't imagine my happiness!

The life I have lived, to put it bluntly, the so-called this dad and that dad in later generations, they can experience this kind of life, but they have to cry to death in the toilet every day!

Even living a luxurious life that is unimaginable for a poor person to imagine all his life, Emperor Chongzhen always felt like something was missing in his heart.

Especially as his prestige grows, the territory of the Ming Dynasty is getting bigger and bigger, and there are fewer and fewer enemies at home and abroad, this feeling is getting heavier and heavier.

It wasn't until he got the "Yongle Canon" in his hand that Emperor Chongzhen figured out the source of this feeling.

The Ming Dynasty in front of him is extremely prosperous. It's just that it is inevitable that martial arts are extremely prosperous.

When the Central Plains Dynasty was prosperous, or even if it was a loser, as long as it was not yet the time to completely finish the calf, there was enough capital to say that everyone he looked at was a scumbag.

However, culture takes a long time to cultivate and flourish, and it often takes a generation or more to cultivate!

Tang poems, Song poems, these are all a hundred years of accumulation to flourish!

At present, the martial arts of the Ming Dynasty are extremely prosperous, but there are many fewer in terms of cultural governance.

Even Emperor Chongzhen, who has been working hard to revive the Hundred Schools of Doctrine since he ascended the throne, is also a little insufficient.

Not to mention, "Yongle Canon", a classic that is many times better than the Encyclopedia Britannica, actually has no original, only an incomplete copy remains!

How many good things have been lost in just one "Yongle Canon"? Emperor Chongzhen himself can't even count them!

Every time I think of this Yongle ceremony, Emperor Chongzhen feels that his heart is going to break - you say that this Jiajing Emperor will die if he dies, what are you doing with the "Yongle Ceremony" for burial, how good it would be to bury more gold, silver and jewelry!

Loser thing!

Well, this time, the graves have been dug up, right?

However, I didn't play any grave jumping, let alone bibimbap, but gave your old man a better feng shui treasure as a grave, which is worthy of you, right?

In order to make up for the guilt in his heart, in addition to fasting for three days, Emperor Chongzhen also deliberately went to the statue of Emperor Jiajing to confess, and asked Emperor Jiajing's opinion.

Emperor Jiajing, who was smiling on the statue, did not object to the digging of the grave, and kept smiling, so that Emperor Chongzhen, who was furious in his heart, ran away and ordered someone to copy a copy of the "Yongle Canon", ready to accompany him into the new Yongling Tomb after copying.

After all the forms were completed, Emperor Chongzhen began to sum up the matter of the spring festival - this time the spring festival was supposed to be held in March, but for various reasons, it has been suppressed until now.

However, the spring of Chongzhen's thirteenth year is very different from the previous spring festival, because this spring festival can be said to be a pilot, or the beginning of the imperial examination reform.

Of course, in the spring of Chongzhen thirteen years ago, Emperor Chongzhen did not stop doing things on his own, and the scholars who should be raised have enough painful memories.

Since Emperor Chongzhen copied the question of the fish and bear's paw of Comrade Yunye of Chu State in the first year of Chongzhen, something will happen every time the imperial examination and Enke are held.

In the thirteenth year of Chongzhen, the scholars who participated in the imperial examination in the Ming Dynasty had already learned well, especially those who participated again after falling to Sun Mountain, and basically had a certain psychological preparation.

Now the candidates in the entire capital are waiting anxiously, waiting to see what new demon moths Emperor Chongzhen will come out of this year's Spring Festival.

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen did not live up to the expectations of these candidates, and threw out a big question on the day of the palace exam.

The questions are not difficult, they are even quite simple, there are only two questions in total.

The first is just how to look at the real side of migration, or whether the real side of migration is considered a nuisance to the people, because it involves the issue of forced relocation of people.

The requirement is to let these new scholars come up with their own plans, regardless of whether it is good or bad, whether it is Legalism or Confucianism or some other method, they have to give one.

The second question is simpler, why there will be a period of turmoil in Jiangnan after the Yellow Book is made, and how to solve such a problem in the future, or how to prevent this kind of thing from happening.

I have to admit that these two questions are really the kind of people who don't pay for their lives.

The three hundred candidates in the main hall felt that their hearts were about to collapse - it didn't matter whether the immigrants were really good or bad, after all, those who should have migrated had already migrated, and the rest were honestly waiting to migrate.

As for the second question, it is even more pitiful.

The turmoil in Jiangnan is also called a thing? The heads of all the people who were killed were rolling, and there was no one who dared to jump out and speak, so come back next time? Who dares to jump?

However, these are only theoretical, in practice?

The matter of immigrating to Shibian and the matter of making the Yellow Book are complementary to the matter of making the Yellow Book - because the extra population of the Yellow Book does not have enough land allocation, it is almost a sure thing to go to the real border in the end.

But it is precisely because of this that the wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan who have endured the forced relocation of rich households and commercial taxes will be unbearable.

There are hidden households and fugitive households, which can reduce the cost of production indefinitely, whether it is farming or workshops.

And the Yellow Book just solves the two old and difficult problems that have accompanied the Ming Dynasty for nearly 200 years, which makes the production costs of those wealthy landlords rise infinitely - with a Ming household registration and without a Ming household registration are completely two treatments!

With a Ming household registration, there will be an official government to inquire about life and death, and those who do not have a household registration can only be regarded as savages, and the value is not higher than that of a donkey, and no one cares about it at all.

These twists and turns look very complicated, but they are also very simple, after all, from the analysis of the pros and cons, basically not much worse.

What now?

His Majesty the Emperor, who was sitting on the dragon chair in the main hall, came up with these two questions, how should he answer them?

If you don't write honestly and give a solution, how can you make a good impression on His Majesty the Emperor? How to go back to the future again?

But if you really write out all the twists and turns involved in it and give a solution, you will definitely offend a large number of people.

Now the officials and lords in the court will not talk about it, assuming that they are completely with His Majesty the Emperor, they will not be so careful.

But what about the family behind him, as well as those gentry and wealthy businessmen? Won't they be careful either?

It's impossible to think about!

Emperor Chongzhen, who was sitting on the dragon chair, stared at the candidates present, either thinking or writing hard, and there was still no expression on his face.

Not only that, Emperor Chongzhen is still making trouble for these candidates.

From time to time, the act of picking up the tea next to him and taking a sip is fine, but the act of getting up and down the imperial steps and pacing a few steps beside the candidates is very disgusting.

The candidates felt like they wanted to curse.

Just like the student exams of later generations, even if they didn't cheat, the invigilator would be inexplicably weak when he shook around.

It's good now, this is not an invigilator at all, but the final big boss in the future will come directly to invigilate the exam, and that kind of mood is simply hundreds of thousands of divine beasts rushing by.

It wasn't until the incense was burned and many candidates turned in their papers and exited the hall that Emperor Chongzhen said lightly: "Wen Aiqing and Meng Aiqing, Guo Aiqing, Chengguo Gong and British Gong will review these exam papers with me." ”

In fact, Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to review these exam papers too much now.

In Emperor Chongzhen's view, these examination papers together are not as important as the "Yongle Canon".

But there is no way, I don't look at it, and if I directly let Wen Tiren and them choose, I don't know how many people I look at will be wiped out.

Especially those who are full of untimeliness are likely to be ignored by everyone.

For example, like Shen Hao last time, if he hadn't picked out this guy by himself, he would have been deposed a long time ago.

What made Emperor Chongzhen a little disappointed was that although the test papers this time were all good, there were no more eye-catching test papers similar to Shen Hao, and the overall level could only be said to be not bad, but it was definitely not too good.

It's just that this situation is normal - there are many geniuses in the Ming Dynasty, but it is still a bit nonsense to expect that a few can be collected in each imperial examination.

Out of boredom, Emperor Chongzhen simply ran to the Royal Academy again.

In Emperor Chongzhen's heart, the importance of the Royal Academy is not even worse than that of the capital, even compared to the "Yongle Canon", it is not much different.

"Yongle Canon" is the only one in the world, and only by printing a few more copies can you rest assured.

As for the capital, Emperor Chongzhen can say without exaggeration that wherever he goes, where is the capital of the Ming Dynasty!

After arriving at the Royal Academy, Emperor Chongzhen found that he had come a little early—and the Royal Academy had no surprises for him.

In fact, just like the matter of talents, when Emperor Chongzhen's mind is emptied of the little things, all that remains is to make requests, and then the Royal Academy will find a way, or slowly improve the previous techniques, as for the sudden outbreak, it is basically unlikely.

But the ones who were brought into studying electricity, and after several more died, these guys also learned well—first taking the barbarians to experiment.

However, Emperor Chongzhen's agricultural college and medical school did not have much hope, which gave Emperor Chongzhen a little surprise.

The current leader of the Agricultural College is Chen Zuqi, and this guy's brain circuit has always been very strange - since he was rescued by Emperor Chongzhen in Shaanxi, this guy has been thinking about hybrid food.

Thanks to the blessings of Zheng Zhilong and Tang Wang, the problem is constantly searching for all kinds of seeds to send back to Daming.

Although many seeds are basically useless for birds, and even find a lot of trouble after trying to plant, there are also many that are useful.

At the very least, Chen Zuqi increased the yield of rice to the extent that it was more than four stones through seed hybridization.

If the unit of four stones is not easy to understand, is it easy to understand when converted to 400 kilograms? Or the unit of 800 catties?

From the original more than 300 kilograms to 400 kilograms, although the number is only a few tens of kilograms, but thinking that this is a unit of per mu, everything has become very different.

How much land can be used to grow rice in the Ming Dynasty, let alone Emperor Chongzhen, it is estimated that Guo Yunhou, who is the secretary of the household department, may not be able to remember it.

But it doesn't matter, as long as you know that there is enough land in Daming, the gap of dozens of catties is enough to feed more people!

Even the yield of wheat has increased, although the yield per mu has only increased by more than 100 catties.

As for the two-crop rice and the three-crop rice, they are still in the experimental stage, and there are no results for the time being, so there is no urgency.

What made Emperor Chongzhen unhappy was that Chen Zuqi was obviously holding back his big move - with more than these dozens of kilograms, this guy had no intention of reporting, and was ready to wait for the yield of upland rice to be solved together before reporting!

If it weren't for Emperor Chongzhen who happened to remember this agricultural college, I don't know when I would be able to wait for his news of Chen Zuqi.

After all, experiments on crops are different from other things, and there is only so much time that can be experimented in a year.

Even if there is a little more land for experiments, you can't assign all the land outside the capital to Chen Zuqi for experiments, right?

It is precisely because of this that since Shaanxi brought Chen Zuqi back to the Imperial Academy in Beijing for more than ten years, Emperor Chongzhen has not urged his progress, but only promised to ask for money and people, and even ordered Jinyiwei to secretly collect overseas crop seeds.

I didn't expect to hold back such a big move today.

As for the news from the medical school, it is even more gratifying - simple minor surgery is not too much of a problem.

After practicing with a large number of brutes, the Royal Academy has announced that it is possible to solve the problem of intestinal carbuncle through surgical means!

What is the name of the carbuncle in later generations, Emperor Chongzhen feels that it should be appendicitis, which is a small problem that does not hurt or itch, just cut it.

But in Daming, the lethality rate of this thing is very high!

Now that medical schools can solve this problem, it already shows that the Ming Dynasty can perform some simple minor surgeries!

As long as it develops slowly, more problems will be solved sooner or later in the future!

Emperor Chongzhen, who received two pieces of good news, was happy in his heart, and simply ordered Wang Chengen to prepare a large number of rewards for the Royal Academy before returning to the palace.
