After the ceremony was completed, the poor people with knives put the yellow book box back into the carriage again and prepared to send it to the warehouse.
Of course, such an important yellow book must be kept in the best possible way. It is the original data for the imperial court to manage the country. All major policies in the future must be based on this. Naturally, it must be absolutely prevented from being lost or secretly tampered with, so it must be
Store it in a place that is inaccessible to ordinary people.
It also needs to be waterproof, fireproof, moisture-proof, insect-proof and rodent-proof. Failure to do any of these may cause devastating damage to the yellow book.
In addition, the place where yellow books are collected must be large enough. There are already so many yellow books in just one province. If all the yellow books in the country were compiled, there would be at least 50,000 to 60,000 books, which would fill a large shelf.
Cabinet library.
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also planned to re-compile it every ten years. In ten years, the population and number of households of the people must have changed a lot, and the Yellow Book will of course also have to be re-edited.
However, the previous yellow books are still useful. Firstly, they are well-documented, and secondly, they can prevent local officials and big players from committing fraud.
For example, it was clearly recorded in the yellow book last time that your family still has a thousand acres of land, but this time suddenly there are only ten acres left. Then you have to take out the land sale deed of the nine hundred and ninety acres, as well as the identity of the buyer for verification.
.
If you can't provide it or you can't match it, it's probably Hidden.
Therefore, it is impossible to get rid of the previous yellow books, and they must be kept as original archives. Therefore, a new warehouse is needed every ten years. The Ming Dynasty inherited it for hundreds of years, and I am afraid that the entire Zhongshu Province will be used to store it.
Yellow books are not enough.
In short, the place where the yellow books are collected must be large enough, safe enough, and close enough to the court to facilitate management and review.
In the densely populated Nanjing city, it is really not easy to find such a place.
Fortunately, Boss Zhu had foresight and planned ahead. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, he had already chosen the address of the future Huangceku - Houhu.
It was also the Xuanwu Lake where Old Sixth Brother and the others were banned for a day.
This beautiful and famous historical lake was surrounded by a high city wall by Zhu Yuanzhang twelve years ago and became a royal forbidden area.
But they didn't need or afford any palaces, so they built a few houses on the five islands in the middle of the lake, and they have been idle there ever since.
This caused countless literati to scold Lao Zhu behind his back. He was really burning the harp and cooking the crane, occupying the latrine and not taking a shit...
Until today, people didn’t know its use. It turns out that Houhu was used to store pornographic books from all over the world!
From Boss Zhu’s point of view, this place is really suitable for collecting pornographic albums. First of all, Wukuaihu Island naturally blocks the access of irrelevant people. It is surrounded by water, which is also convenient for fire prevention. And the distance is very close. If you want to collect pornography
Register, available immediately.
What a pity that such a suitable place is only used for viewing the scenery.
It must be circled and put on the pornographic list!

As the army escorted the first batch of yellow books into the Houhu Yellow Book Storehouse, Zhu Zhen and Zhu Di also breathed a sigh of relief.
Their errand was finally completed.
"Hey, I'm exhausted. I have to go back and have a good sleep." Zhu Zhen rode out of the Taiping Gate, eager to return. He missed his cows, pandas, Tibetan foxes, and Sister Hong...
"It's better to go to Father's office first. I'm sure he still has a lot of things to ask us." Zhu Di shook his head.
"What's the rush? Just let the old man wait." Lao Liu muttered.
"You dare, but I don't. I don't have as much face as you." The fourth child smiled and asked in a low voice: "When you presented the congratulatory form today, why did you put my name first?"
"Is there any problem?" Lao Liu looked puzzled.
"Of course there is a problem. You are the twin princes, and you are the one below the prince. Let me start by saying that I am not in line with the rules." The fourth child replied.
"Is there any explicit stipulation in the imperial edict?" Lao Liu said nonchalantly: "I don't care if there is. You are my brother and I can't let you get behind me."
"Oh, you brat." The fourth child would always be warmed up by the sixth child inadvertently. "Don't do this again."
"Okay, okay." Lao Liu said perfunctorily.
While they were talking, the two brothers walked out of the Taiping Gate and saw the second brother, the third brother... and the fifth brother waiting there.
The brothers haven’t seen each other for a year, and so many things have happened this year. When they met, they were extremely affectionate, and they laughed and hugged each other.
Of course, two hugging four, three hugging six, fifth brother looked at it.
He was hesitating awkwardly whether he should hug himself. The fourth and sixth brothers hugged him at the same time, almost suffocating the weak King Zhou.
"Haha, Fifth Brother, you really miss me!" Lao Liu patted Lao Wu on the shoulder hard.
Although it hurts, the fifth brother is happy. When the fourth and sixth brothers are not in Beijing, he is often forgotten by others. Although no one cares about him, he can concentrate on studying medicine, but sometimes he is really lonely.
"Brother misses you too." He smiled shyly, his eyes red.
Before the two brothers separated, the third and fourth brothers over there started quarreling as expected.
"Hey, the third child, aren't you already a feudal lord? Why did you come back so quickly?" the fourth child asked.
"Can you take care of my parents when they ask me to come back for the New Year?" The third child said angrily: "You, on the other hand, are just begging for money and stealing my errands, but you don't do it properly. Is there anyone like you?"
"Why didn't I do my job properly?" Lao Si glared and said, "You were also present at the ceremony today. Are you blind or deaf?"
"Pretend I don't know, it's all the fault of the sixth person. Except for killing people in the first place, you are just trying to make up for it." The third person laughed.
"You just pretended to be stupid last year, so you thought others would be like you!" The fourth child glared at the third child.
"At least I didn't. I asked for half a year's leave and stayed in the capital without going back. Only the sixth child was left to suffer outside." The third child sneered: "I ran back when the work was almost over, for fear that I would lose my credit.
.”
"You were in Suzhou last year, but you visited the brothels every day and had a good time. Did you do anything to help the sixth child?" The fourth and third children were tit for tat, arguing over who had more hips.
"It's really not easy for you..." Fifth brother looked at Lao Liu sympathetically and whispered.
"Haha, it's actually not bad." Zhu Zhen shook his head and smiled: "They are just belittling each other. In fact, when it comes to running errands, one works harder than the other."
"That's it." Lao Wu said with a relieved smile: "I saw you lost so much weight, I thought you were overworked and tired."
"Haha, Fifth Brother, you are overthinking. I am trying to lose weight." Zhu Zhen patted his strong abdominal muscles and said, "I practice every day."
"Well, it seems that medication is not as good as exercise for weight loss." Fifth brother was a little sad. The weight loss pill he prescribed for Lao Liu was very effective when he drank it, but it rebounded as soon as he stopped. It is a three-part poison, and you can't drink it all the time.
, so I stopped letting Lao Liu drink anymore.
"I have already achieved some success in acupuncture. I originally wanted to try acupuncture for weight loss on you..." He said with regret. In this era, there are very few people who need to lose weight. This field is almost blank and can be studied.
There are so many places, but it’s hard to find experimental subjects...
"Haha, I'd better exercise." When Lao Liu heard that Fifth Brother wanted to give himself an injection, he hurriedly made a haha to get over.
