Chapter 1308: The Coming of All Nations (3)
(Please support the new book "Predator", thank you.) )
After entering the Imperial Palace, the early dynasty officially began.
In fact, before the fifteenth day of the first month, the people are basically still immersed in the atmosphere of the Spring Festival, the conditions are good these years, the people have money in their hands, and they attach special importance to the Spring Festival.
Crown Prince Su Mingjie presided over the early dynasty ceremony.
This is also the rule of the imperial court.
Su Mingjie has long been familiar with the government, and the calmness and wisdom he showed made many civil and military ministers worship, Su Tiancheng paid special attention to the cultivation of Su Mingjie, Su Mingjie traveled abroad for three years, Su Tiancheng's requirements were very strict, not able to enjoy special treatment, must face the reality, to truly understand the suffering of the people, to think about how to solve the difficulties of the people, but also to pay attention to the style of the government and other issues.
In Su Tiancheng's view, Su Mingjie's performance is still a little different, mainly in terms of identity, after all, he was born in a rich environment when he was a child, he became the crown prince very early, and was revered by the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs. Unless it is a major matter, Su Tiancheng will personally start it.
Su Mingjie began to make specific requests. Roughly speaking, when the time comes to work, many ministers of civil and military affairs must concentrate their energies and set an example for officials in provincial capitals, prefectures and counties, and when the new year comes, it will be the spring ploughing season soon, which is the busiest time, and the officials at all levels must spend great efforts to do a good job in spring ploughing production.
Su Mingjie was in the early dynasty. Over the years, with the tremendous development of commerce and trade, agriculture has slowly been neglected, especially in Shandong, Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangsu and other places, the government attaches special importance to the development of commerce and trade. They don't pay much attention to agriculture, because the rapid development of commerce and trade means that the government's tax revenue has increased significantly, which means that the government has more money.
This situation appeared as early as the tenth year of the Great Jin Dynasty, after the imperial court discovered it. It did not attract great attention, but the emperor clearly put forward the requirements, the people take food as the sky, and agricultural production cannot be ignored at any time, and it cannot be because of economic development. We will not attach importance to agriculture, let alone purchase grain in large quantities. It is not a big deal not to think that farming is not a big deal, and at all times, it is important to remember that food production cannot be ignored.
It is precisely because of the emperor's requirements that every year in the early dynasty, Su Mingjie will put forward a clear request, all localities can not ignore spring ploughing production, of course, just lip service is not much effect, the Ministry of Officials and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have long been attached to whether to pay attention to spring ploughing production and grain production and other matters, as one of the indicators for the assessment and promotion of officials, which makes officials in various places dare not ignore spring ploughing production.
Next, Su Mingjie also specifically emphasized the problem of absorbing immigrants from all over the country, with the prosperity of the Great Jin, more and more people from the vassal states went to live in the Great Jin, in addition to the people who passed the imperial examination and entered the imperial court as officials, there are also the families of these people, almost all of whom have moved to the Great Jin, and those who can pass the imperial examination are the elites of the vassal states, these people have come to the Great Jin Dynasty to settle down, such as driving the trend of immigration relocation, and the greater advantage is that the people who have moved to the Great Jin can easily find things to do, especially in Shandong and Zhejiang, Fujian, Guangdong, Jiangsu and other places, as long as you can endure hardships, you can find things to do, you can earn silver, and there is no problem in life.
The imperial court's control over immigrants is generally absorbed, but these people must be registered in the government, and they must really be recognized by the government, but in recent years, the number of people who have immigrated at will has increased, and some people do not register in the government, resulting in the management of the household registration of the population by the local government, there has been a deviation, such a situation must be paid attention to, otherwise the population of the Great Jin Dynasty will be more and more, and many officials of the imperial court have discussed that such a situation must be appropriately restricted.
Su Mingjie finally said that the envoys stationed in various places are the problem, because of the strength of the Jin Dynasty, there are also some problems in the performance of the envoys stationed abroad, mainly in terms of attitude, the performance is very strong, the emperor once said that the attitude can not be too tough, what the Great Jin needs to get is the actual benefits, and there is no need to be strong in the attitude.
Half an hour later, Su Mingjie's words were finished.
According to the past practice, it should be the emperor's instructions, and the early dynasty will finally end, but today's situation is different, and the next agenda is the envoys sent by various countries to worship.
The envoys brought a large number of gifts, which were not brought into the palace, but were made in a list.
In fact, the envoys of various countries have already put forward a request for this matter of worship, but the emperor has not agreed, and finally the court agreed, and the envoys of various countries are fully prepared, so this worship is particularly grand.
This is a symbol of national strength, the role of the Jin Dynasty is basically the defender of the world order, of course, the rules are formulated by the Jin Dynasty, anyone who violates such an order, will inevitably suffer a blow, but when determining the order, the emperor is basically standing on a fair position, which also makes the rulers of various countries very grateful.
The worship ceremony began.
Liu Jingting began to read out a string of lists, and the officials of the Ministry of Rites entered the hall with one by one the envoys according to the names read out on the list, and the envoys took out the gift list that had been prepared long ago and presented it to Zhou Yanru, the prime minister of the Great Jin Dynasty who was in charge of foreign affairs.
All countries worship according to their own etiquette, some are kneeling, some are kneeling on one knee, some are bowing, less than one by one, the Great Jin Dynasty has forbidden kneeling, but there are no clear regulations for these envoys.
The ritual of worship lasts a bit longer.
But the civil and military ministers in the main hall did not show the slightest tiredness, all this seemed to them to be so glorious, just twenty years ago, such a thing was impossible to imagine.
Most of the officials of the Great Jin Dynasty have experienced the decline of the Ming Dynasty, and they all have an impression, and no one would have thought that they would face today's situation at that time.
The emperor's merits can be described as unprecedented and unprecedented, from a penniless concubine, step by step struggle, into the imperial court, the formation of the Jiangning battalion, the extermination of the Liukou, the overthrow of the Ming court, the elimination of the Houjin Tartars, the unification of the grassland, the development of the economy, so that the people's lives become rich, so that the Jin court has become the defender of order in the world.
All this, in the eyes of many people, is impossible, but it appears in front of their eyes.
The worship service was over, and it was past noon.
The emperor instructed, which also means that the early dynasty has reached its last moment.
"Ladies and gentlemen, today's early dynasty is a bit special, I didn't expect it, the prince and the prime minister are afraid that they have already discussed, I have heard of the matter of the coming of all countries to the court, it appeared in the Tang Dynasty, it also appeared in the early Ming Dynasty, and I didn't expect it to appear now, which shows that the path chosen by my Great Jin Dynasty is correct."
"But I still want to remind you, don't be complacent, don't indulge in achievements, any dynasty, must pursue long-term development, I have discussed with the prince many times about such things, why a dynasty can flourish at the beginning, but after a few years, there is a decline, I have also discussed with you Aiqing before."
"Some things must be said every day, month by month, year by year, such as the rise and fall of this dynasty, such as the matter of doing things according to the rules and systems, these are the basis for the prosperity of my Great Jin Dynasty, I still want to emphasize that no one can break the rules, destroy the system, no one can override the system and rules, including me, this is the iron law of my Great Jin Dynasty, and it can never be shaken."
"I thought of Chongzhen, the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty."
When he said this, Su Tiancheng looked at Zhu Cihong who was standing among the ministers of civil and military affairs, the crown prince of the last Ming Dynasty, had already completed the transformation of his identity and became the servant of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Jin Dynasty, so many years have passed, and he has completely adapted to it, Emperor Chongzhen's family has been properly arranged, and their lives are worry-free, and they have not left the capital.
"Zhu Aiqing, I said about your father, in fact, I admire Emperor Chongzhen very much, from the perspective of diligence and self-discipline, few emperors can compare to Emperor Chongzhen, I am afraid that I am ashamed of myself, but why Emperor Chongzhen is so diligent, or can not avoid the fate of destruction, so many years have passed, all of you Aiqing have also figured it out, the late three great Confucian Liu Zongzhou, Huang Daozhou and Qian Qianyi, wrote a book, and talked about this matter, I think it makes sense."
"Can you guarantee your diligence and self-discipline, can you guarantee what will happen in a hundred years, I can ensure that the prince is diligent in government affairs, but can I guarantee the situation in a hundred years, no, no one can do it, so education and the system are the real guarantees, for so many years, I have been committed to these things, I think you should also understand."
"Water can carry a boat and can also capsize a boat, this sentence, countless emperors are on their lips, but there are a few emperors who really understand the meaning of this sentence, how many emperors can really do it, I often use this sentence to encourage myself, that is, I am afraid of mistakes, I hope that you love Qing, but also always encourage yourself, you must know, no matter what you do, there is no best, only better."
