Chapter 1012 The Chinese Empire

After Nian Gengyao was captured, the general situation of the world was determined, and there was no obstacle for Yuzhu to become emperor.

As soon as Yuzhu returned to the capital, he was surrounded by the important ministers around him.

"Your Majesty, Wuchang is the site of the Four Wars, how can it be the capital?" Liu Kan was proficient in Feng Shui and celestial phenomena, and his objections still held some weight.

"I think you can capitalize on Luoyang?" Xie Sheng, the Minister of Rites, said.

"Your Majesty, do you think it would be better if everything was in Chang'an?" Yang Sen, the former governor of Shanxi who had just been transferred back to Beijing, also expressed his personal opinion.

The important ministers were quarreling and even scolding, but Yuzhu was distracted.

After Newcomen arrived at Dagokou, he was copying his first steam engine. Alas, I don't know how it turned out.

Haha, no matter how much they argue, Yuzhu has already made the decision about moving the capital, and there is no room for change.

Anyway, after the planned building is completed, no matter whether the important officials around him leave or not, Yuzhu will take the first step.

Well, the emperor went to Wuchang, and the ministers had the nerve to stay in Beijing?

At a time when the tiger and wolf divisions of the new army are sweeping across Liuhe and are invincible, can their arms still twist past their thighs?

Yuzhu was not Chongzhen, how could he be at the mercy of ministers?

Really offended, Yuzhu just had to shout, I will go to southern Gansu to fight guerrillas.

Let’s see who gets scared first?

In fact, everyone also knows that the matter of moving the capital is a foregone conclusion. It is enough to make a fuss and express the attitude.

Zhu Laosi of the former Ming Dynasty, after the success of the Jingnan War, moved the capital to Beijing with his own efforts. No one could object to it.

What everyone really wants to argue about is the issue of country code.

Some people advocate restoring the country's title to the former Ming Dynasty.

As a result, as soon as the words came out of my mouth, I was sprayed all over my body.

Yuzhu smiled, although he didn't say anything, he didn't take it seriously.

Zhu Chongba's imperial edict stated that the people could kidnap corrupt officials and escort them to the capital, which was talked about by countless young people in later generations.

In fact, after looking through the history of the Ming Dynasty, how many corrupt officials were escorted to Beijing by the common people?

Corrupt officials have as many as dozens of government servants and as many as thousands of people. Do common people dare to go to the government offices to arrest them?

From the perspective of a prince, general, and minister, Zhu Chongba was naturally extremely powerful.

If he is Zhu Chongba's biological son, then congratulations, daddy has thought about everything for you, just lie back and enjoy the blessings.

However, from the standpoint of ordinary people, whether Zhu Chongba was a good emperor needs to be discussed separately.

The stereotyped writing of scholars made the scholars of the social elite lose their ability to think freely, and forever imprisoned the thoughts of the common people.

The strict road guide system restricts people's freedom of movement.

The Lijia system intimidated the people from causing chaos and made it easier for the imperial court to suck blood.

The craftsman household system deliberately restricts some people to a group of sluts forever.

The guard system turned military households into serfs of the officers.

The main advantage of Chongba for ordinary people is that it is light on land tax. In the early Ming Dynasty, land tax was indeed extremely low.

However, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty's inaction rule was the real rest with the people.

Except for the Qin Dynasty, all dynasties in the past dynasties were forced to adopt the basic national policy of resting with the people at the beginning of the founding of the country due to the massive decrease in population.

As for severely punishing corrupt officials, which is highly praised eight times, in fact, it is completely unsustainable.

Because officials must pay attention to a certain amount of pomp and circumstance. However, with such a high salary, it is difficult for an upright official like Hai Rui to eat meat every day.

Oh, it took ten years of hard work to become an official, but just for the sake of a false reputation that you can’t even afford meat?

This is completely unhuman!

Back then, when Yuzhu first started working, in a super-poor town where even wages depended on loans, the top and second-in-commands tried their best to arbitrarily levy fines and buy a Santana as a special car.

What is Santana? Isn’t it the official sedan chair of the Ming Dynasty?

If you don't have a private car as an official, you are said to be incompetent and will be looked down upon by everyone.

To be honest, instead of worshiping Zhu Chongba, it is better to respect Yuzhu. At least, Yuzhu never tormented the common people.

Some people blindly admire Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, and they really want to travel to Emperor Wu's later years. Good guy, all the houses were empty, the population was at least halved, and the Huns came back to kill him again.

To only talk about merit without talking about who paid the price is to act like a hooligan.

The basic concept of Yuzhu's governance is that officials are not allowed to mess with the people.

After many years of career as a bureaucracy, Yuzhu understands a hard truth: local officials who do not bother the people, even if they are greedy and take advantage of them, are still good officials.

The national situation of the Qing Dynasty is that if the imperial court introduces a good government, it will definitely become a tool for corrupt officials and subordinates to make money when it reaches the county.

For Yuzhu to develop industry, all he needs to do is take the lead and invest in it.

If you really make money, there will always be landlords eager to get involved.

As long as it's profitable, who wouldn't be jealous?

Facts have proved that in a field with greater competition, technological progress will be faster and the people will benefit more.

When Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola first came into the market, the ignorant and ignorant people cried wolf, and all their money was stolen by foreign devils.

However, after decades of full and free competition, without external interference and distortion, domestic brand beverages are also very prosperous.

What businessmen are least afraid of is free competition, and what they are most afraid of is the nonsense of the gentlemen.

Regarding the issue of the country's name, Yuzhu was also a little hesitant.

According to Yuzhu's own opinion, it must be the most resounding name for the country to be Han.

However, in history, there are so many dynasties named Han.

In addition to the national title, the national flag also gives Yuzhu a headache.

The important ministers around him didn't know the importance of the national flag, so it was all in vain. Yuzhu could only think about it alone.

Perhaps they realized that Yuzhu was distracted, so everyone who had been arguing so fiercely involuntarily closed their mouths.

Everyone stopped arguing, and Yuzhu came back to his senses.

"Has the discussion about the country name been completed?" Yuzhu asked everyone with a smile.

It was okay if Yuzhu didn't ask, but when he asked, everyone started to quarrel again.

In the 18th century, all European countries were monarchies, with no room for republics.

Even if the United Kingdom implements a constitutional monarchy, the king still holds huge power.

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Of course, Louis XIV, the most powerful monarch in the entire Europe, is dead.

The current king of France is Louis XV, who has not yet been crowned.

It is worth mentioning that the popular saying, "After I die, I will not care about the floods" is the famous saying of Louis XV.

This quarrel has been going on for more than an hour, and everyone still has huge differences on the issue of the national title.

An idea flashed in Yuzhu's mind, and he suddenly said: "Since you can't make up your mind, let me make the decision. The name of the country will be called Huaxia, or Hua for short."

Western countries always use archeology as an excuse to not recognize the Xia Dynasty, which makes me angry just thinking about it.

Let’s just name the country Huaxia, well, the Huaxia Empire, which is catchy and domineering.

Yuzhu was very satisfied, but the ministers expressed their opposition.

Liu Kan said: "Since the Qin Dynasty, has there ever been a country with two words?"

"Yes, yes, these two words are ominous."

"Your Majesty, please think again."

"Humph, this won't work, that won't work either, let's call it Hua, that's it!" Yuzhu had already expected that the name of Huaxia would be opposed by everyone, so he deliberately used retreat to advance, and finally made the final decision.

The Ming Dynasty generally calls itself the Ming Empire to the outside world.

If it were called the Great China Empire, it would be a bit nondescript.

In the end, after a big circle, the country was named Hua, and the outside world called it the Chinese Empire.

After deciding on the title of the country, the Ministry of Rites began to secretly organize the enthronement ceremony.

Because the new capital of Wuchang has not yet been built, the place to replace it must be in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony.

That's all, court uniforms, official uniforms and formal attires are all noisy again.

Yuzhu was so noisy that his brain hurt, so he simply went out for a walk.

Seeing that Yuzhu had gone out, Liu Kan asked Zhou Quan: "Mr. Quan, you know the king's thoughts best. Can you give me a clear explanation?"

Just now, when everyone was quarreling, Zhou Quan didn't say much.

How should I put it, Yuzhu actually wants to abolish the long robe and mandarin jacket and let everyone wear "Yuzhu suit" instead.

Alas, I have never seen anything like this done since ancient times?

Regarding the issue of official uniforms, in fact, monarchs of European countries at the same time usually wore court uniforms instead of royal robes.

The famous oil painting "Napoleon Crossing the Alps" and Napoleon's heroic appearance on horseback left a deep impression on Yuzhu.

To be honest, with the development of industry, robes and mandarin jackets will definitely become more and more outdated.

Normally, civilian officials wear jade-column suits, cloth shoes, and at most a top hat. Military attachés all wear standard officer uniforms and military boots, which is actually pretty good.

As for the royal robe, it was only worn once when he ascended the throne.

The old emperor's dragon robe was only worn once and then thrown away. This was too extravagant.

"Hey, Mr. Liu, you ask me, who should I ask?" Zhou Quan couldn't understand Yuzhu's thoughts.

Alas, the future emperor has already let his thoughts run wild, and none of the ministers can keep up.

After a few days of quarreling, Sun Chengyun went to Yuzhu and whispered: "Good brother, you are about to become emperor. You must have the dignity that an emperor should have. No matter what, crowns and dragon robes are indispensable.

.Normally, you can wear whatever you want?"

Ethical ethics, after more than two thousand years of development, has become deeply ingrained.

Even the important ministers around Yuzhu don't understand why Yuzhu doesn't pay attention to the dragon robe?

After listening to Sun Chengyun's advice, Yuzhu thought carefully and realized that Lao Sun was right. Ceremonial dragon robes were rarely worn unless they were worshiping the ancestral temple or something like that.

So, Yuzhu relaxed and let everyone do whatever they want with the dress.

The civil servants' court uniforms were designated as Yuzhu uniforms, and the military officers all wore military uniforms to see Yuzhu.

After Yuzhu took a big step back, everyone couldn't force it and had no choice but to agree.

As a result, the emperor's formal attire was restored to the Han Dynasty system.

Pingtian crown, also known as Mian Qi crown. The crown is seven inches wide and two inches long. It is round in front and behind, with a vermilion lining and a mysterious top. It hangs four inches in front and three inches in back. It is tied with white jade beads to form twelve feathers.

The color of the ribbon is used to form the tassel.

Among the five elements, the Qing Dynasty is the virtue of water, and the new Chinese Empire is the virtue of earth, which just means earth covering water.

While everyone was busy preparing for the founding ceremony, the little emperor fell ill.

At this critical moment, even a fool knows that the little emperor is probably sick from fear, right?

Since Liu Jinu killed the Sima royal family, when the new dynasty was established, almost all the old dynasty royal family were killed, and the blood of the remaining dragons was taken and sacrificed in the new dynasty's imperial temple!
