[Comprehensive History] Clothes are all over the world

Chapter 140

In this world, if one wants to compare the most popular things in the world, then rumors must win the top spot, and only gossip can compare with it.

If they don't move forward, nothing else dares to move forward.

In Yingtian Mansion, the capital of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang, the lord of a country, lived.Before getting a reply from the grandson, he first received a report from the intelligence department.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that Emperor Hongwu was so insane that he even wanted to monitor his grandson. In fact, the intelligence system in the early Ming Dynasty was far from being as terrible as people imagined. There are only 5000 people who are responsible for guard of honor tasks, capital management, and security work, and who can specialize in intelligence gathering personnel.

These people are scattered all over the country and can't even make a splash, so their main job is to help Emperor Hongwu collect illegal evidence of people who have already been suspected, rather than to find a needle in a haystack for a comprehensive investigation.

And in the 20th year of Hongwu, Emperor Hongwu realized that Jin Yiwei was too powerful, and absolute power would encourage selfish desires. Today's Jin Yiwei has gradually violated Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention, and has abused his power. In the second year, he abolished the right to be in charge of prisons from Jinyiwei's duties and handed it over to the third division.

So today's Jinyiwei has long lost its glory in the past, but is an ordinary part of the twelve guards of the emperor.

In history, the configuration of such a "low-key" Jinyiwei has not changed during the Hongwu and Jianwen dynasties, and the Jinyiwei, which is almost omnipotent and omnipotent in the hearts of the people of later generations, was actually restored in the hands of Ming Chengzu Zhu Di. was opened the way of privilege.

Maybe it was the experience of seizing the throne from his nephew that made him afraid that history would repeat itself, maybe it was because he was afraid of the words of the people, maybe he needed to protect the descendants of the Jingnan generals who followed him at the risk of beheading, Zhu Di once again gave Jin Yiwei The special treatment and status made him the first guard of the emperor. Since then, until the end of the Ming Dynasty, the special status of Jin Yiwei has not changed.

However, although Emperor Hongwu returned Jin Yiwei to its original position, it did not mean that he relaxed information management.

As a master of tactics and strategy with a long history, Emperor Hongwu's emphasis on information technology is quite rare among the emperors of all dynasties. Emperor Hongwu, who was born among the people, knows how officials can deceive the superior and the inferior. The most worrying thing from the day he came to the throne was that the bureaucrats under his rule had once again appeared as "dog officials" to oppress the people, and the people were oppressed by the court officials and had nowhere to ask for help. If this is the case, his Ming Dynasty and the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty What's the difference?What's the point of letting him sit on the throne?

In order to prevent such a bad situation from happening, Emperor Hongwu resorted to various methods. First, Daming has a tour system, and officials will be sent to the place on a regular or irregular basis. Secondly, officials have assessment items, and those who do well are hard to get Political achievements speak for themselves, and the most important thing is that Emperor Hongwu clearly and even encouraged the system of people suing officials.

As long as there is real evidence, no matter who you are, as long as you are a good citizen, you can arrive at the capital and ring the Dengwen drum at the gate of the palace. Emperor Hongwu will personally receive you and try the case in person.

In order to prevent the people from being obstructed or embarrassing, Emperor Hongwu stipulated in the "Da Gao": If officials of local governments, states, and counties harm the people and commit corruption, the local people can hold the "Da Gao" and directly arrest them. Take it to the capital to sue.

Since the people needed guides to leave the county at this time, Emperor Hongwu also stipulated that anyone holding the "Dagao" could replace the guides, and those who were blocked by officials along the way would be put to death by their families.

Like the so-called "people suing officials like sons suing their father" in later generations, if you don't say anything, you will be beaten first, and you can pass five hurdles and cut six generals in the Ming Dynasty. .

Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the bureaucracy was at its peak, it never blocked the way for the people to sue.

However, it may be that the officials of the Hongwu Dynasty are generally better in the sieve after another. In the six years since the establishment of this regulation, the number of officials who have actually been effectively prosecuted and punished after investigation is only in the single digits. Most of the rest are False accusations or misunderstandings due to ignorance of policies, Emperor Hongwu also expressed helplessness in this regard.

In order to avoid misunderstandings affecting the reputation of officials and their normal working conditions, Emperor Hongwu could only repeatedly prosecute the false accusers for serious crimes.

As the heir designated by Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, every move of the grandson of the emperor is also within the scope of Zhu Yuanzhang's key observations. It's not that the grandfather doesn't trust his grandson. Careless (Zhu Biao:??), naturally only grandpa can care about it.

Out of love for his grandson, Emperor Hongwu arranged a group of secret protection personnel for his grandson. These people are all the strength of the humerus of Emperor Hongwu. They all followed Emperor Hongwu to the mountains and seas. Their main task is only one. That is to protect His Highness the emperor and grandson at critical times.

But this group of people was so idle during the trip with His Highness the Grandson.

It's not that they don't work hard, but... His Royal Highness is really too!able!Dry!up!

Along the way, Huang Taisun first accurately judged that a heavy rain caused the whole team to stop sailing, and then found that someone was seriously seasick, and took everyone wearing bamboo hats and fishing rods to experience sea fishing.

Well, before today, everyone didn’t know that fishing was such a joyful thing. The official boat’s sails were so deep that even though it was driving along the coastline, it was actually in a deep water area. The fish here are rather stupid. The hooked baits were really one after another. In the joy of the competition, it only took one afternoon for the soldiers to go from seasickness to walking like flying and carrying fish to BATTLE each other.

And His Royal Highness watched the whole process with a smile on the sidelines, and in time stopped a soldier born in the inland from adding a poisonous fish that would grow bigger when touched. It is said that this fish is the legendary puffer fish, but this kind The sea puffer fish is more poisonous than the river puffer fish. If you eat it, you won't even have the chance to drink golden soup to detoxify it. Taisun's move literally saved the lives of the entire ship.

That's not to mention, if the above can be said to be that the soldiers are relatively unfamiliar with the sea area, after arriving in Fujian, the little grandson is like a dragon entering the river.

He first took everyone up a wave of mountains, and then followed various traces all the way, and suddenly bent his bow and set an arrow, and with one arrow, he added a meal to everyone.

While the soldiers were skinning and bleeding the unlucky serow, His Royal Highness, who was watching from the sidelines, suddenly climbed up the tree, and a moment later, he carried a big cat that was lurking and sniffing the smell of blood down the tree. , All the soldiers watched with complicated faces as the Highness ignored the big cat's fangs and deep growl, rubbed his head and rubbed his chin, and opened his hind legs to see the gender.

The cat with the beautiful markings ended up with dead eyes.The most exaggerated thing is that after doing all this, they heard His Highness say to the son of Marquis of Xiping who went south together: "This cat should not eat well. .”

Killing and punishing the heart is nothing more than that, when the big cat left, even though it had a lot of internal organs in its mouth, Brother Bing felt that its steps and back were desolate.

In addition, His Royal Highness Taisun has dealt thousands of blows to everyone. Whether it is identifying poisonous insects, poisonous snakes or distinguishing wild vegetables and herbs, he is very skilled. He is even more skilled than them in setting traps and avoiding traps. It is like living in the deep mountains and old forests. Many years in general.

The many overt and covert guards have no sense of existence. Although it is still very happy to travel with free wages, but how should I put it... I can't bear my self-esteem.

They are not as unscrupulous as the big cat that staggered away after being hit the day before yesterday, and climbed the top of the tree the next day for the food it earned.

So it is conceivable how excited these guards, who have been repeatedly frustrated in their jobs, were excited when they discovered a tool man with suspicious identities and strange origins, full of conspiracy.

They wrote a letter to report the matter to Emperor Hongwu almost immediately. After reading a few pages, Emperor Hongwu first thought that his grandson had a girl he liked, and it was a big deal.

Because of the relationship between the head of the family, Zhu Yuanzhang, the old Zhu family still has a relatively open attitude towards love and marriage.Identity and status are good, but the most important thing is to like yourself.

In Zhu Yuanzhang’s own harem, there are concubines from Goryeo, Ryukyu and other places, and there are not a few who come from farming families. Even Mubai’s second uncle Qin Wang Zhu’s official concubine is the former prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty and the younger sister of Wang Baobao, the greatest enemy of the Ming Dynasty. In modern times, it would be inconceivable that the son of the president of South Korea married the daughter of the general secretary of North Korea.

In fact, Zhu Bianben had already submitted the list of candidates for his granddaughter-in-law, but in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, his grandson was naturally very good, and the little girl of the next generation was not bright enough, so he had been hesitant.Now that the eldest grandson actually found one by himself, Lao Zhu is still in a relatively relaxed mood.

But after seeing it, it was wrong. The main reason was that the writing by the soldiers was too fantasy, and he heard the rumors among the people that the emperor's grandson was fascinated by the sea monster. However, as a very kind grandfather in front of his grandson, even if Emperor Hongwu wanted to care about his grandson's emotional situation, he was worried that too much interference would arouse his rebellious psychology, so he hesitated for a while.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang is worthy of being the most imaginative and creative emperor since Emperor Qin. He immediately thought of a way - Emperor Hongwu wrote the story of himself and Queen Ma into a book, in order to tell his grandson about marrying a wife and a virtuous man. Importance, of course, in the end, Emperor Hongwu added it very implicitly, saying that there are only a few good women like your grandma in this world, and they can be met but not sought after.

It's not easy to marry such a good wife like him. If you use his milk as the standard to find a wife, you may have to search for a lifetime, so it's almost enough to find a wife who is [-]% to [-]%.

But before this letter called exhortation was sent to show off, Zhu Yuanzhang received a letter from his grandson first.

In the letter, Mu Bai didn't mention any of his previous off-topic behaviors, nor did he mention the fact that he picked up a girl. This time, there are two main points.

One is the medical skills of his grandfather and his fifth uncle. Mu Bai has always believed that medical technology is very important to the development of a country. Only when medicine keeps up can human life expectancy increase. population and productivity.

And this set of medical techniques records a large number of simple and simplified prescriptions. If it can be popularized, it means that many people can obtain more reliable medical resources at a relatively low price. Very good.

In fact, after the economic level of Ming Dynasty became a little better, Zhu Yuanzhang set up a welfare organization called "Huimin Pharmacy Bureau" in the private sector. The poor can come here for free treatment, and the medical expenses are all borne by the local government.

This cheap pharmacy is for the really poor people, so the diseases it can treat are positioned as basic diseases, and the medicinal materials and physician skills are limited. In addition, it is not easy to get promoted in such an institution, so you can imagine its treatment level and internal environment.

Now there is Emperor Hongwu, an emperor who really cares about the people, on top of him. In the future, if any emperor is not concerned about this aspect, this kind of government-run charity organization will immediately become a place for relevant people to make money.

After all, medicinal materials are more or less, depending on the doctor's gestures, and the medicinal materials sold are processed materials, which can be sorted and reclassified after sorting out. Buying and selling is not easy.

It's okay to be greedy, but I'm afraid that unscrupulous pharmacists will prescribe less or miss the medicine for greedy patients, or the medicine will not be right for the disease.

This kind of thing cannot be prevented, the only way is to allow the people to monitor spontaneously, so Mu Bai’s suggestion to his grandfather is that medical skills cannot be shelved, but must be spread among the people.

They can ask the academicians of Taiyuan Hospital to find the most representative or most cost-effective prescriptions in medical books, print and post them in major pharmacies, so as to carry out certain promotion among the people, so that some people with basic diseases You can also make your own medicine, so you don't have to go to a doctor every time for a pulse diagnosis - the latter is much more expensive than prescribing medicine.

At the same time, Huimin Pharmacy can also prepare some popular and cheap medicine packs in advance according to the prescription to replace treatment with prevention. Of course, Mu Bai himself does not know medicine, so he suggested that grandpa directly discuss it with Uncle Wu——cough cough , People like Uncle Wu are obviously not suitable for local governance. It is a waste of talents to send him to Yunnan. Grandpa quickly arrests people and works to develop the medical industry of Ming Dynasty!

Another point is that Mubai “accidentally” obtained a sea chart, and found out that there is a vast continent further south of the islands such as Java and Sumatra on the sea chart. It is humid and cool, with fertile land, large forests and grasslands.

the most important is!

The land there is fertile and rich in minerals, and most of the minerals are open-pit and shallow mines!Just digging is high-quality iron ore and coal mine!The vast land, sparsely populated plains and rich minerals, this, what kind of fairyland is this!

Daming next door, who has more people, less land, more mountains and less mines, is crying greedily!

The author has something to say: Yes, the place being targeted by the old Zhu family is Australia.

This is a very magical place. It is 4 kilometers away from Hainan Island, 500/100 kilometers away from Indonesia, and the nearest place is only 800 kilometers away. The nearest island in Japan is 200 kilometers away from Shanghai in China, and it takes 1700 kilometers to go from North Korea. In theory, this place would never have been discovered until more than [-] years ago.But the magic lies in its ocean currents.

The ocean currents around Australia are all from south to north, so normal ships will unknowingly detour there and be pushed to other places. Even if there are ships passing by due to storms, what they see is the dry and barren northern region. After finally landing, what I saw was the desert, so I asked you if you were afraid!Of course I did not hesitate to find a way to leave.

According to China's nautical civilization, I think it is unlikely that no one has discovered Australia. I think it is not necessary to stay in this place. Let's leave after repairing the ship.

So Australia was not discovered until the era of steam engines, because at that time humans could resist ocean currents.

cough cough.

Australia is called the country on the back of the sheep, aka the country on the minecart, so...

Have you seen Mu Xiaobai's sparkling eyes?
