Yongle Dadian has 370 million words and includes many albums. If engraving is used, the cost is immeasurable.
For today's plan, we can only use movable type printing.
Although movable type printing is more advanced, block printing has always been the mainstream.
Nothing else, cheap and easy to use.
Large quantities of books, such as the Four Books and Five Classics, Huaben novels, etc., are all printed using engravings.
As for those high-quality books with low demand, they are copied by hand, which is shockingly low-cost.
For movable type printing, whether it is lead type, wooden type, or copper type, they are all more advanced than engraving.
At that time, for Zhu Yixi, what he wanted to do most was to invent a printer, but it was a pity that he couldn't!
Thinking of this, the emperor lost interest and waved his hand: "There is only one copy of "Yongle Dadian", and it is also hidden deep in the palace where fires occur frequently. It is too dangerous."
"Organize the copyists, make five more copies, and place them in Yuquan Mountain, Xi'an Prefecture, Kunming, Chengdu, and Guangzhou!"
Yuquan Mountain is a villa area; Xi'an Prefecture is Guanzhong, where the emperor is based; Chengdu is located in Shu, which couldn't be safer.
As for Kunming and Guangzhou, it is nothing more than Guangxing education.
"Your Majesty, this is Zhaoxian Culture and Education!" Zhao Shu quickly bowed down and praised:
"As a result, the writing style in Southwest China will not flourish, and catching up with Jiangnan will be just around the corner."
"Yunnan and Guangxi are a bit remote after all." Zhu Yixi sighed: "If the Yongle Grand Ceremony can really promote the prosperity of its culture and education, it will not be in vain for Emperor Chengzu's efforts."
After nagging like this for a while, the first assistant made two flattering pictures, and the emperor was finally satisfied.
Zhao Shu wiped the sweat from his forehead and returned to the cabinet.
At this time, several pavilion elders in the central hall came over one after another, their eyes full of exploration.
"It should be fine."
Zhao Shu drank a cup of tea and took a sip lightly. Then he shook his head slightly, showing a hint of helplessness:
"The Holy One must have turned a blind eye to Guizhou when he came to Yuquan Mountain."
"I'm afraid it will be difficult." This time it was Yan Chongxin's turn to shake his head. He glanced at the open door, turned his head and said solemnly: "The Sacred Heart is unpredictable!"
"The case has not yet been settled, and the entire province has been demoted one level, and the governor has been directly dismissed. If this continues, and the truth is revealed, the consequences will be unpredictable..."
"Because of the Guizhou incident, people in Beijing are panicked. They all think that Your Majesty will follow Taizu's example and go on a killing spree." Zhang Shenyan said with a bitter smile:
"Once it starts, it can't be stopped."
"Besides, serious illness must be cured slowly so that there will be no future troubles..."
The stereotypes and bad habits of the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty have long been plagued with abuses. Not to mention that Emperor Shaowu took control of the world in less than ten years, and his successors were all bureaucrats from the previous Ming Dynasty.
The people in charge have changed from the Donglin Party to a group of ZTE members like them.
In a sense, the Xinming Dynasty at this time was the same as the Eastern Han Dynasty and the Manchu Qing Dynasty in history. It inherited the previous system and did not change much.
Naturally, the whole cabinet saw this clearly and understood that change was urgent, so they agreed with the supervisory censor's travel to various places.
After all, they are clearing out former bureaucrats and vacating positions for their own people.
But don't be hasty in everything. Although strong drugs have quick effects, they also have serious consequences and can easily cause rebound.
It is easy to conquer the world, but it is much more difficult to conquer the world. They don't want to perish in one or two lifetimes.
"I will advise the emperor."
Zhao Shu frowned, put down the tea cup, and looked around at the people: "But don't think about interceding."
"This matter is too big. It's a slap in the face of the imperial court and His Majesty."
"I think it's not just Guizhou, other provinces should also be careful..."
"No way!" Lu Daqi was extremely puzzled: "We are all ministers of the Ming Dynasty, how can we be so presumptuous? The imperial court is newly established, and the capital camp is not just a showpiece."
"You mean the Donglin Party?" Zhang Shenyan suddenly realized something and asked suspiciously, "But weren't they sent to Guangxi?"
"The leader went to Guangxi, and there are many tails behind."
Zhao Shu pretended to be profound and said: "There are many people who are unwilling to be lonely..."
"The Donglin Party is very poisonous, and there are many local people who are fond of them. They all call themselves gentlemen, so what are we? Villains?"
Seeing the serious expressions on their faces, Zhao Shoufu felt relieved in his heart.
Like the emperor, he was extremely resentful of the bad government of the previous dynasty.
Having served as Sun Chuanting's staff for several years, he saw with his own eyes the flash of swords and the dirty deeds in the officialdom.
Among the rebels and slaves, who was the opponent of the imperial court at the beginning? They were all at odds with each other in the officialdom, and they continued to lose their lives, leading to the complete collapse of the imperial court.
How can we not eliminate such residual poison?
Several people in the cabinet were hesitant about this, or they were born in the previous dynasty, so naturally they could not veto their own decisions in the first half of their lives.
Zhao Shu believes that not only must it be done quickly, but also strong medicine must be administered.
For example, in the case of Guizhou, it swept through one province at a time.
Anyway, the provincial examination can be held at any time and there is no shortage of officials.
Therefore, they can only make up their mind by taking advantage of the Donglin Party.
The Donglin Party is inherently unclean and is part of the residual poison.
Although the chief minister has great power, he still needs the cooperation of the cabinet members. The Donglin Party is a good excuse.
Lu Daqi and Zhang Shenyan were both from the Donglin Party, but precisely because of this, they were very clear about the emperor's dislike of the Donglin Party, so they naturally avoided it now.
Their current political career must no longer be related to the Donglin Party. Instead, it must be completely cut off so as not to affect the emperor's perception.
"What the Chief Assistant said is true." Zhang Shenyan said solemnly.
Lu Daqi said bluntly: "It seems that I have made the mistake of the Donglin Party. I helped my relatives but not my relatives, and protected my relatives..."
These words are naturally serious, but coupled with Lu Daqi's straight character, he seems very straightforward and not annoying.
"I am done with the Donglin Party -" Zhang Shenyan suddenly came to his senses, stood up directly, and said with a serious face, looking at Zhao Shu, he was making his position clear.
Such a major event in Guizhou has spread all over the world. If officials across the province are dismissed, it will definitely shock countless people.
And this is naturally not the fault of the emperor, nor the fault of the cabinet.
Therefore, the blame was placed on the Donglin Party.
Zhang Shenyan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the smiling Zhao Shu with deep eyes and a hint of smile at the corner of his mouth.
Inexplicably, he felt that although the door was open, it was colder.
Zhao Shu is worthy of being the first assistant.
He has already begun to deal with the aftermath of Guizhou...
As Zhao Shu expected, Zhu Yixi never wanted to let go of Guizhou. After learning that the imperial envoy was alive, he continued to order him to investigate the disaster relief corruption case.
In the summer resort, the emperor received Zhang Keyou's secret box.
The content is only about 300 words, but it describes the events in Guizhou simply and clearly. The final summary is just one sentence, asking Jin Yiwei for help and searching the account books.
"I originally planned to replace the Guizhou Qianhu Office. Since it is still useful, it will be easier for them..."
