Chang'an capital, in the imperial study.

Luo Zhaoyun and more than 10 people, including Tongping Zhangshi and the Governor of the Political Affairs Hall, were holding daily meetings and discussions, and although the court meeting of civil and military officials was held once every three days, there was a meeting with the ministers of the Political Affairs Hall once a day to discuss the formulation and implementation of policies in all aspects.

When the imperial court was first established, many new forms of laws and regulations and new policies were promulgated, and how to operate and how to promote them were constantly reported by the local authorities, and they should be discussed and studied with each other.

Luo Zhaoyun knew in his heart that if it was all up to him to come up with ideas or think strategies, even if he was a traverser, he would not be proficient in everything, and he did not know much about local folk customs and specific situations.

And these ministers come from different classes, come from different places, have the information of different places, and are all talented people, let them discuss measures, they are responsible for putting forward opinions, the overall macro checks, and finally the emperor decides whether it can be implemented, and there is a right to decide and a right to veto, which is a qualified superior.

"Your Majesty, in the past few days, due to the implementation of the Dahua Times Weekly, the views of the imperial court have been expounded from many aspects, as well as the situation of disaster relief, floods, and the treatment of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, so that the people's emotions have calmed down. Wei Zheng reported on the situation that Yu Shi had mastered, smiling, obviously pleased with the effect caused by Time Magazine.

"Yes, this kind of movable type printing is a step further than engraving printing, which makes the printing capacity improved, in addition to printing weeklies, the imperial court can print all kinds of Confucian classics in the future, making it easier for people in the world to read." Gao Shilian valued the role of movable type printing.

The eldest grandson Shunde said: "The papermaking technology has also improved a lot, the paper is simply twice as large, and the toughness is better, the quality is good, which is also a progress of this imperial court." ””

Luo Zhaoyun smiled slightly: "What you said, most of the credit, all due to the Bureau of Manufacturing, I set up this special department, is to engage in the development of science and technology, you don't underestimate this thing, every technological breakthrough, will bring huge benefits and promotion to the society, you think about it, if our carriage is not a wooden wheel, but with a cushioned airbag, the axle has also been improved, then the speed of pulling the car and the stop loss of the vehicle, will be greatly improved." ”

"For another example, we invented the compass, which can be used to determine the direction and not get lost when we march into the forest, or enter the desert, or when we can't find the direction when we are sailing. For another example, when the new technologies of pottery, papermaking, porcelain, textiles, iron smelting, shipbuilding and other technologies have been improved, the imperial court has profited, many factories and workshops have been developed, more people have been recruited to engage in handicrafts and industries, and a certain salary is paid, then their lives can be rich. ”

After listening to this, these ministers all fell into deep thought, and felt that what His Majesty said was indeed reasonable, and they were currently working in this direction.

In particular, the promotion of black pig breeding technology, pork has been accepted by the people of Beijing, pig killing dishes are also popular in Chang'an, it will not take long for the country to be popularized, and when the year is closed, the people can eat meat, which is a policy to benefit the people.

"The ministers are willing to share the burden for Your Majesty, and do their best to support Your Majesty's decision-making to benefit the people!"

"Haha, that's right, our monarchs and ministers work together to create a new prosperous era of national peace and security, and when the time comes, I and the Qing family will go down in history together and become the most accomplished people in this era, and even in the green history, they will shine. We do not seek the benefits of the war, how many states are destroyed, how many territories are seized, but the land of China is built into a rich and strong country, rich people, the old are supported, the few are taught, and the world is the same! ”

Gao Shilian, Wen Yanbo, Xue Shui, and Yao Silian are all Confucian scholars, proficient in history and the Six Classics, and are very affectionate to the Confucian idea of self-cultivation and governing the country and leveling the world.

Luo Zhaoyun continued: "I have asked the Bureau of Fabrication to specially select tribute students who are interested in agriculture from Taixue, the research on the hybrid of residual rice, and the experiment of hybrid transplantation of different varieties of rice in the north and south, if a new variety of rice is cultivated, the yield per mu can be doubled, or even several times, when the time comes, planting rice in the north can resist drought, and in the south can achieve two crops and three crops, and the yield is also large, and the people in the world will have a lot of stock at that time, even if it is a disaster year, they will no longer starve." ”

"Hybrid rice?"

It was the first time that everyone had heard such a name, but after chewing on the meaning of the words, they could vaguely guess the meaning.

"If we can really double the output, the people will receive more food and save more rations, which can indeed change people's livelihood." Gao Shilian sighed.

In the past, the ministers attached too much importance to the emperor and had some prejudices about the craftsmanship of the emperor, thinking that His Majesty would lose his mind about playthings, but gradually found that the new things introduced by the Bureau of Fabrication and Industry again and again were of great help to the people and the imperial court, and their vigilance was gradually lowered and they began to accept the objects.

Of course, Gewu is only a means, a kind of technology, the imperial court to govern, or need thought, this is where Confucianism and other schools of thought are concerned, to establish the mainstream thought, which school of thought is more suitable for appeasing the people, to establish orthodoxy, this is the great Confucianism concerns, they must hope that Confucianism can be dominant.

At this point, Luo Zhaoyun dialectically viewed that Confucianism is indeed good for the stability of the imperial court and the assimilation of the people, after all, the benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith introduced by Confucianism are good for the behavior norms of the whole people, moral constraints, self-cultivation and so on. However, each dynasty of Confucianism has different schools and interpreters, and the things advocated are also different, how to absorb the essence, get rid of its dross, can not be rigid, dogmatic implementation, so that everyone who reads Confucianism is a failure, that is, the failure of education, to diversify learning.

"By the way, many officials in the imperial court have a lot of controversy about Xu Shiji leading the army south, what do you think?"

Chu Suiliang arched his hand and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, Xu Shiji is the general of the Wagang Army, and his background has been criticized by many officials in the imperial court, in addition, Xu Shiji is relatively young, and he has no one-sided side, and the experience of commanding the three armies is less than a commendable and convincing war, so the officials will inevitably have some doubts, and some descendants of the generals of the previous dynasty have discussed in private, thinking that they can lead troops and be stronger than Xu Shiji......"

"It's controversial!" Everyone else nodded.

Luo Zhaoyun looked around at everyone, smiled, and said: "Xu Shiji is a rare military talent, but there are too few places that can be played in the past, and it cannot be reused, when attacking Jinyang, I have appointed him as a general, responsible for attacking Jinyang City, I can see this person's talent, this time to the south, it is also a test and trust for him, for the time being, I still believe in his ability, however, in order to reduce suspicion and discussion between the DPRK and China, I decided that once the war in the south is unfavorable, I will announce the imperial conquest, Deal with Du Fuwei and other Jianghuai rebels. ”
