"Wenyuan, you are the prince and will also be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the future. How the Ming Dynasty will change depends on you. I have told you the reasons for all my father's policies, and you also know why my father made such reforms. If you think
If a certain policy is inappropriate, you must tell your father." Yun said to Wenyuan again.
Yun now deeply understands why Zeng Guofan said, "The first thing to do big things is to find a substitute." The real big thing is to change people's ideas, change cultural customs, and change people's habits. There are many things that people can change in their lifetime, but they can change
There are very few concepts, cultural customs and habits. Fortunately, people with old concepts, old cultural customs and old habits will die. If you have a 'replacement', you can consolidate your achievements in the next generation. Completely conquer Nanyang.
This is true for the country, and it is also true for domestic reforms.
Therefore, although Yun has always been wary of Wen Yuan establishing his own team now, he still has to let him assist him in handling political affairs, and occasionally sends him to other places to run errands. He also often explains the purpose of his administration to him, just to let Wen Yuan
Be able to become his own replacement instead of changing his ways after he succeeds to the throne in the future.
"Yes, father, son understands." Wenyuan agreed.
"Min'er," he turned to his daughter and said: "For Ming Dynasty, another very important thing is scientific research. Your brother is responsible for subduing vassal states, encouraging industry and commerce, changing the ruling class, and taking charge of the army. I'm afraid he has no time to take care of it.
Encourage scientific research. It happens that you like new things, so my father will leave it to you to encourage scientific research and promote the scientific and technological progress of the Ming Dynasty. From now on, Gezhiyuan will be under your control."
"Dad, Wen Luo and Wen like astronomy and study mathematics at the same time. Why not let them be responsible for encouraging scientific research?" Min'er asked.
"Wen Luo and Wen are both scholars and cannot manage these things; and even if they could, their father would not let them take charge of Gezhiyuan. They study astronomy and mathematics, and they will definitely be biased towards astronomy and mathematics when reviewing research projects and allocating funds.
Sometimes they will be biased towards astronomy and mathematics, which may affect the research of other scientific projects." Yundao said. In fact, there is a third point, that is, when Wen Luo and Wen are studying astronomy and mathematics, it will be difficult for the person in charge of Gezhi Academy
There was no preference between these two categories. Only Min'er, who was the oldest of the Wen family and whose husband was studying other projects at Gezhi Institute, was not biased. She was also able to withstand not giving too much when Wen Luo and Wen asked for funds.
"Then my daughter won't refuse." Min'er smiled and accepted the errand assigned by her father.
Wenyuan didn't have any objection. Although he would have a lot of money in charge of Gezhiyuan, especially after the train was researched and all civil and military officials saw the usefulness of Gezhiyuan, the money allocated every year would be even more; but other than that
There is no other power outside of it and it will not affect the power structure.
"Okay, father, I have nothing to tell you. It's getting late, so let's go back and have dinner." Yun said.
"My daughter is also hungry, let's go back and eat together." Min'er stood up and said with a smile.
"Yunzhi, don't go back tonight. Wuji is still in India anyway. You will be alone when you go back. It will be more lively in the palace." Yunzhi said to Yunzhi again.
"Okay." Yunzhi had no objection.
But at this time Lu Yi came in again. After saluting Wenyuan and others, he said: "Guan family, Prince An's Mansion urgently reports that His Royal Highness Prince An is seriously ill. Prince Yong'an sent a message from Japan. Ashikaga Yoshi, the son of the former King of Japan,
Mochi was murdered by his brother Ashikaga Yoshitsugu."
"Prince An is seriously ill?" Yun said, turning to Wenyuan and said: "After dinner, you will go to Prince An's Mansion to visit on behalf of my father. My father will go to visit in person tomorrow. The palace gate will be there.
It's locked before the first watch, so remember the time and don't be late."
"Yes, my son will ask the accompanying guards to remind him." Wen Yuan agreed and then asked: "Dad, my uncle King An has no children yet. What should I do with my uncle King An after a hundred years?"
"How can we leave no one to pay homage to Uncle An Wang after his death?" Yun said: "My father plans to adopt your eleventh brother to Uncle An. However, although your eleventh brother will worship Uncle An in the future, he will not
To inherit the title of Prince An, according to the title inheritance system reformed by my father, I will first be granted the title of County Prince, and if I can make meritorious service to the court, I will be promoted to Prince."
"Eleventh brother?" Wen Yuan was startled for a moment. His eleventh brother Wen Yuan is Miaojin's second son. Logically speaking, Chen Fei Miaojin and Princess An are biological sisters. It is very appropriate to adopt her son to Prince An, no.
There is nothing wrong with inheriting the throne of King An. However, "Father, if the eleventh brother is adopted to the uncle of King An, is Wen Yuan considered a son or a grandson?" Wen Yuan asked.
"Of course it must be counted as a grandson." Yundao said. The bloodline inheritance is from the father, so he can only be counted as a grandson.
"Do you want your son to tell Uncle An about this today?" Wenyuan asked again.
"No need, if it really doesn't work anymore, let's talk about it." Yun said.
"My son knows." Wenyuan agreed.
"Starting from tomorrow," Yun ordered again: "You have to pay attention to things in Japan. Japan has been quite unstable in recent years. Ashikaga Yoshimitsu doted on his youngest son Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in his later years, and he always thought about it after the death of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu in the tenth year of his founding.
In order to compete for the throne of the king, the Ashikaga family was in chaos; in the 17th year of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Uesugi Zenhide Rebellion broke out in Japan, and the aftermath has not yet been completely settled."
"Ashikaga Yoshimochi did not agree with Ashikaga Yoshimitsu's policies and opposed trade with the Ming Dynasty. Although he did not dare to ban it, it was gradually reduced; and after he succeeded to the throne, although he professed his vassalage to the Ming Dynasty externally, he secretly established a
The so-called emperor claims that he is the prince of Japan and a general, acting as an agent of the government; he also claims that although his status is lower than that of the Ming emperor, Japan is an equal country to the Ming Dynasty, and he is playing two sides. I am not happy about this."
"My father wants to make Japan the same as North Korea, but Japan's national power is far beyond that of North Korea, so it needs to be done with caution." He looked at Wenyuan and said solemnly: "My father leaves this matter to you.
If you can make Japan the same as North Korea, my father can trust you and leave the Ming Dynasty to you."
"Yes, father and son know." Wenyuan felt his father's solemnity and bent down to salute and agreed.
"It doesn't have to be like this. Even if Japan can't become the same as North Korea, it doesn't matter. It won't have any impact on the Ming Dynasty." Yun said again. "Okay, I just said I wanted to go back for dinner, but I wasted this time. You
Mother should be anxious; besides, you have to go to Prince An's Mansion after dinner, let's go back." As he said that, Yun walked out of Qianqing Palace. Yunzhi, Min'er and Wenyuan quickly followed.
