"Since the two masters have such ambitions, this king will also give the two of them another big gift!"

Zhu Changluo waved his hand, Wang An went down and moved several big boxes, and as soon as he opened the lid, a smell of ink permeated the air. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the puzzled eyes of everyone, Zhu Changluo got up and walked to the box, picked up a book casually and said.

"This is a copy of the transcription of the classic materials found by this king in the Ministry of Industry, and it is particularly gratifying that there are some remnants of the Yongle Canon, which must be beneficial to the casting of the two masters!"

Speaking of the biggest gain from going to Jinling City this time, it was not that he had suffered a heavy setback to the Wei State Mansion, nor that he had gotten these two masters, but that Zhu Changluo accidentally found the remnants of the Yongle Ceremony in the Nanjing Ministry of Industry!

In Zhu Changluo's view, the greatest achievement of the original Emperor Chengzu was not to defeat his cowardly nephew and ascend the throne, nor to go on an expedition to Mobei and put forward the concept that the Son of Heaven guards the country and the king dies, but under his rule, he compiled and revised the Yongle Canon!

This classic, which can be called the encyclopedia of the Ming Dynasty, was compiled by Xie Jin, who was the first assistant to the cabinet at the time, and more than 2,000 people from the government and the opposition participated in the compilation.

The content includes a subset of the scriptures and history from ancient times to the present, as well as astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medical divination, monks, skills, etc., with a total number of more than 40,000 words, basically preserving the existing knowledge in various fields.

Even the Siku Quanshu of the later Tartars was compiled according to the fragments of the Yongle Canon.

However, what makes Zhu Changluo a little regretful is that since the date of compilation, this masterpiece has not been for the purpose of disseminating knowledge, but also for the purpose of inheriting knowledge, so it has been preserved in the Wenyuan Pavilion in the capital after it was compiled, and only the emperor and the elder of the pavilion and the six books are qualified to read it.

And for some reason, the original has now been lost, and what is preserved in the Imperial Palace is a copy printed by Emperor Sejong at that time, and to Zhu Changluo's surprise, it was the remnants of the Yongle Ceremony found in the Ministry of Industry.

Of course, it is not the original, but the transcript, and there is only a small part, but only this small part has already made Zhu Changluo satisfied.

This part records the history of agricultural methods, calendars, algorithms, and the most crucial study of firearms, and it is unceremonious to say that with the help of these classics, plus Li Ji's steelmaking method, it is enough to create weapons that can play a great role on the battlefield.

As soon as he thought of this, Zhu Changluo also coveted the complete version of the Yongle Dictionary in the capital, if he remembered it correctly, the last time the Yongle Dictionary appeared in the official history was in the Wanli period.

At least for now, this magnificent tome should still be in the imperial city.

"Your Highness, this ...... Is it really the Yongle Ceremony? ”

The eyes of the two master craftsmen who were about to retire suddenly lit up, and they didn't care about their image, and walked quickly to the box.

Li Ji swallowed his saliva, and said with a slight tremor in his body.

After that, I rummaged through the box for a while, holding a freshly copied book and burst into tears.

"It really is! Volume 4650...... The notes of the ancestors are indeed it! ”

"Master Li, this is ......"

Zhu Changluo was obviously taken aback, looked at Li Ji and asked suspiciously.

After a while, Li Ji's mood stabilized and he spoke.

"Your Royal Highness doesn't know, the ancestor was a master who followed Emperor Chengzu during the Yongle period, and Emperor Chengzu did not abandon it, and once wrote a skill into a book and entered it into the Yongle Canon, which is the content of the book written by the ancestor!"

Only then did Zhu Changluo understand, no wonder Li Ji was so excited, although this thing was not the original manuscript, but it was also written by the ancestors of his family, so he was naturally very excited.

And according to the regulations, after the Yongle Canon was successfully compiled, it was strictly forbidden to take it out without permission, so I'm afraid that even if it is Li Ji's home, there may not be this part of the content......

"Your Royal Highness, the reason why the little one is so out of shape is because the ancestor of this part of the manuscript records the small said that the material refining experience of the divine soldier, the ancestor followed the emperor Chengzu, and wanted to build a sword of the Son of Heaven for his old man, so he used this method to process steel, although it failed for some reason in the end, but this method has been handed down.

The little one is ashamed that he has never practiced this method, but with this ancestral note, the little one's grasp will definitely be greatly strengthened! ”

Word of mouth will definitely lose some of the steps, especially after Emperor Chengzu, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty rarely have close to the military ministers, and it is naturally extremely difficult for Li Ji's ancestors to obtain steel to experiment.

In fact, it is not easy for this technique to be handed down, and if you want to completely restore it, you can't even think about it without a year and a half of work.

This is still an optimistic estimate in the case of sufficient supply of raw materials.

But with this note, it is very different, this note records in detail the detailed steps of the master craftsman on the Li family ancestor to forge this steel and the mistakes that are easy to occur, with it in hand, Li Ji can avoid many detours, and can also study and restore this steel in the shortest possible time.

As for Wang Zhong, he is also very happy, although he has some classics kept in his home, but they are far less detailed and complete than those in the Yongle Canon, with this part of the information, his grasp will be greatly strengthened!

The two masters retreated happily, and Zhu Changluo returned to the throne.

"Zhao Changshi, tell me about the situation in Ping'an Mansion during the recent absence of this king!"

The scientific research was in a hurry, and he had been away for nearly two months, although there was a letter report every seven days, but it was not as clear as the face-to-face inquiry.

"Back to Your Highness, not long after you left, an angel came to the capital, announcing the appointment of Shen Tongzhi as the new prefect and Liu Tuiguan as the official

The new government is the same as the governor, and at the same time commends the relevant people!

Although Liu Tongzhi complained, he did not abolish the public because of private affairs, and generally cooperated with Shen Zhifu quite well, and now Shen Zhifu has initially controlled the situation in the city, but this visit once every ten years has never been missing......"

Zhao Shizhen, as a long history, naturally did not leave these things behind, and after a moment of silence, he spoke.

Zhu Changluo bowed slightly, he had expected this, Shen Hong's only shortcoming was that he was not responsible enough, but his eyes were very bright, and he put himself in the right position.

However, Liu Mengzhou's reaction surprised him a little, he really deserved to be Shen Li's master, he could afford to put it down, if he didn't even have this mind in the officialdom, he would do it as soon as possible!

With the cooperation of the Shen Governor's Mansion, Yang Jishan's control over the tax department has been greatly enhanced, and now the collection of autumn grain has been preliminarily completed, and the detailed account books will be submitted to His Highness after accounting! But ......"

Zhu Changluo listened silently, he knew that the point was coming, although the situation in Ping'an Mansion had generally stabilized, it was not monolithic, he had been away for so long, I was afraid that some people would be ready to move again......
