"Your Majesty, Jie Jin, I wish you long live, long live, long live!" In front of the history museum, after the carriage Yun was riding in stopped, Xie Jin, who was standing at the front, knelt down and said.
"I bow to your Majesty, long live long live long live!" Other officials and servants also knelt down and said.
"Everyone, I love you!" Yun got off the carriage and said with a smile.
"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty!" Everyone bowed again and stood up one after another.
"Your Majesty, yesterday, all the proofreaders completed the fifth proofreading and found no errors or omissions. The "Great Ming Canon" has been compiled." Xie Jin stepped forward and walked to Yun and said loudly.
"Okay, okay!" Yun said with a smile.
"Qing Xie, thank you for your hard work. I also know that it is very laborious and laborious to compile so many books into the canon. It is also necessary to eliminate the rough and select the essence, and to proofread different versions of a book. I will definitely reward you for your efforts."
Yun said to him again.
"I can never do these many things on my own. I have to rely on the help of my colleagues." Xie Jin said hurriedly.
"I know." Yun smiled and patted his hand, turned to face all the people standing in front of the history museum, and said loudly: "I know that all of you, dear friends, also contributed to the compilation of the canon.
It is because of your diligence, your work day and night, and your endless writing on countless brightly lit nights that you have compiled this collection of books."
"I know that many people have devoted a lot to this collection of books. Many people have no time to take care of their elderly parents or teach their young children, just to compile this book; I also know that some people are compiling this book day and night.
After reading the book, his body became weak and he even vomited blood to death, so he asked his parents to send the white-haired person to the black-haired person."
Hearing Yun's words, some people in the crowd cried. In fact, the salary for compiling this collection of books for the imperial court was not very high, and serving officials did not receive additional subsidies, but most of them tried their best to compile it.
This collection of books is just because of my identity as a scholar, and because this collection of books is unprecedented. It is not just some people, but most people who have lost their eyesight and limbs due to years of proofreading and copying.
Even their hands were useless for writing. Yun's words reminded them of their hard work and they couldn't help but cry.
But immediately, most people became happy. His Majesty's words represented his affirmation to them. With His Majesty's affirmation, their hard work was worth it.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!" Everyone couldn't help but say.
"Of course I am a saint. After a while, I will do something even more saintly." Yun muttered in a low voice and said to Xie Jin: "Come in with me to take a look at this grand ceremony."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Xie Jin agreed, and after saluting Wenyuan and others, he led Yun into the history museum and into the house where the grand ceremony books were stored.
"Your Majesty, this canon contains more than 8,000 kinds of books from the pre-Qin Dynasty to the present day, totaling 13,677 volumes and more than 400 million words. The first draft was copied by someone and has been proofread.
It was later sent to the Da Nei Jing Factory and the Imperial College for printing, and then was proofread. It included a collection of classics and history, astronomy, geography, yin and yang, medical skills, divination, Tibetan Buddhism, Taoist scriptures, drama, crafts, agriculture and other books, compiled in it,..." Explanation
Jin introduced Yun while walking with him.
Yun looked at the books stored on both sides and said nothing. Of course, this canon was compiled by him after imitating the historical "Yongle Dadian". All the books that could be collected in the Ming Dynasty were compiled into it, covering thousands of years of the Chinese nation.
A wealth of knowledge, it is by no means just a collection of books, but a pyramid in the history of Chinese civilization.
What's even more rare is that even without his orders, there was no order from Zhu Di in history. Xie Jin and others did not exclude "obscene" content such as operas and scripts without authorization, but included them all and collected them.
It has collected almost all precious cultural materials and left a huge wealth for future generations. Historically, without this collection of books, many ancient books would have been lost in later generations. Including "Old Book of Tang", "Old History of the Five Dynasties", "Old History of the Five Dynasties",
"Song Huiyao Compilation", "Xuzizhi Tongjian Changbian", etc. were later lost. It was not until the Manchu and Qing Dynasties compiled the "Sikuquanshu" and searched for information that they were compiled from the "Yongle Dadian" and circulated in the world.
This is the most complete book in Chinese history and the greatest book in the ancient history of the world. This is a great glory, not only for the emperor, but also for civilization and the nation!
He then looked at Xie Jin who was explaining next to him. Xie Jin was not only an outstanding writer, but also an outstanding talent. He personally checked and corrected some books, and also ensured the success of the compilation work with his excellent organizational and management skills.
It went on smoothly and contributed greatly to the completion of the compilation of this canon.
"Xie Qing." At this time, Yun had already walked through most of the room and said suddenly.
"Please give me your Majesty's instructions," Xie Jin said again.
"As the president, you have done a great job in compiling this book. I want to reward you. I can read these books slowly. You ask everyone who participated in the compilation of this book to come over. I want to reward you in public."
"Your Majesty, there are so many people involved in compiling this collection that we can't even fit them all in the history museum." Xie Jin said with joy in his heart.
"Go to Waijinshui River." Yun said. The history museum is not far from the imperial city, so it is easy for them to walk there.
"Yes, I obey the order." Xie Jin agreed and went to deliver Yun's oral instructions in person. Yun did not wait here, but looked back at the books, took his son out of the house, and got into the carriage.
Came to the vicinity of Waijinshui River.
After a while, the crowd gradually came over. Waijinshuihe was also in the imperial city. Most people were not allowed to enter without a waist card. If Yun hadn't sent the eunuch next to him to speak to the guard guarding the door, even if there was proof from Jie Jin, the guard would definitely
They would not let so many people into the imperial city. Yun could only let them come here because he couldn't find a spacious place nearby. Occasionally, eunuchs on errands passed by and looked over curiously: What on earth is going on here?
?
When all those who participated in the compilation entered the imperial city, Yun said loudly: "You have made great contributions to the compilation ceremony, and I will definitely reward you."
"Qing Xie, I will confer upon you the title of Viscount of Dadian, the title of Young Master, the promotion to Doctor Guanglu, and the honor of the country."
"Wang Jing,..., you and the five vice presidents will be conferred the title of Five Great Lords, the title of Zhengfeng Doctor, and the title of Zhengzhi Qingzong."
"Huang Yi and other eighteen editors were awarded the title of Official Officer, promoted to Fengzheng Officer, and awarded the title of Concubine Yin for the revision."
"..."
"All those who died due to the compilation of the ceremony will be posthumously granted the title of Grand Duke; their sons will be granted the title of Hairpin Noble."
"Everyone else, such as those who are officials, will be assessed as above or above, and those who are civilian clerks will be rewarded with half a year's salary!"
