1828, 'Integration of Books and Documents of the Ming Dynasty'
Chongzhen is in dire straits during this period, and this year's drought is more severe than last year.
During this time, he was coordinating water transportation between the north and the south. Rice grains from the south of the Yangtze River must be transported smoothly to the imperial capital. River construction and water transportation are the cornerstones of stability in North China.
During this time, he was intensively preparing to clean up the Donglin Party.
Begin to deal with officials at all levels who committed crimes during the past chaos.
This large-scale invasion of slaves caused such heavy losses, and the imperial court lost face. Someone must take responsibility.
During this time, many people were imprisoned one after another. The imperial prison, the Ministry of Punishment Prison, and the Shuntianfu Prison were all overcrowded.
What he was most worried about was that as a young emperor, he aroused doubts among the people of the world. They all said that the country was blessed with a long-term ruler and a good government. He could only talk nonsense and act poorly. People in the world were originally worried that he was too young and had little ability.
is not strong enough.
Now that this incident happened, he behaved in a panic throughout the Yisi incident and almost did nothing. In the end, it was the return of Marquis Dingyuan that solved the problem. This had a huge impact on his prestige.
Early this morning, he opened the memorials with a heavy heart. The first thing he saw was the memorial of Yang Fan, the Marquis of Dingyuan.
He was suddenly a little surprised. This guy had been diving for a long time, and Chongzhen had almost forgotten his existence.
The latest news is the Jin Yiwei's report on the movements of Marquis Dingyuan. It seems that he had a conflict with Quetu Khan in Qinghai, and he encountered obstacles in sending the master to Zang. He has been in Xining City.
This guy is extremely lazy. Basically, if I don't come to him, he won't come to me.
Today I changed my gender, I don’t know what happened.
In fact, this memorial was specially placed at the top by Wang Chengen.
This period of time has been filled with bad news, and His Majesty's face is as pale as a puddle of water, and he is in a very bad mood. In his impression, Yang Fan's memorials always bring a lot of fun to His Majesty, and he laughs every time he reads them.
He especially likes to criticize Yang Fan's ugly words, typos, wrong idioms and allusions, as well as his lame metaphors and quotations. This gives him the pleasure of mocking Yang Fan's cultural level and carrying out dimensionality reduction attacks.
He read the memorial, which was filled with typos and missing strokes. The more he read, the more smiles appeared on his face. Finally he laughed loudly and said: "Although this guy is unlearned and unskilled, this time he spoke it into my heart."
Gone."
Wang Chenen quickly took over the conversation and asked, "I wonder what suggestions Dingyuan Marquis gave to His Majesty."
"Well, he said that books should be compiled in the prosperous times! He is willing to fund and compile a book similar to "Chongzhen Dadian". He said that the Ming Dynasty has been two hundred and seventy years, and the cultural achievements accumulated in the three hundred years should be classified into categories, preserved and sorted, and a big book should be compiled.
The book came out to show the glory of Chongzhen's prosperous age. Hahaha."
Wang Chengen understood instantly and praised Dingyuan Hou for inviting the Holy Heart to his favor.
This is definitely what the emperor wants to do most. This Yisi Incident has brought disgrace to the emperor and the court. What is most urgently needed now is to whitewash peace, ah, no, it is to compile books in the prosperous times to improve the emperor's prestige.
"Well, he also asked me about the situation of the Yongle Dadian. Wang Banban, go check it out and see where the Yongle Dadian is located and how it is doing now. He said that he would hire some scholars and re-copy ten copies. Three of them
A copy was handed over to the imperial court. A copy was kept in the Hanlin Academy, the Northern and Southern Imperial Colleges, and was open to the common people and officials to borrow."
"He also suggested that the whole country should donate books, establish a library in the south city of the capital, and recruit people with good calligraphy and great scholars to compile the "Chongzhen Dadian". This suggestion is very good, but how can I compare with Grandpa Chengzu? I don't want to call it anything.
"Chongzhen Dadian". Let's call it "The Collection of Books and Documents of the Ming Dynasty"."
On the one hand, he is tempted, but on the other hand, he currently has the foundation to do this.
The capital's current food supply is still very stable and sufficient, which is also the basis for such large-scale cultural activities. If the capital is also short of food, it will not dare to hold such large-scale gatherings of people.
Yang Fan's plan for book repair required recruiting tens of thousands of scholars in the capital to work in the book repair library for ten years to complete the largest cultural collection and preservation work in the history of the Ming Dynasty.
There are not so many people in the capital, so scholars from all over the country must be recruited to participate.
If you want people to come from afar, you must be well-paid. Yang Fan gave him a very high salary. The scribe was the lowest paid, and he was given one silver coin for copying a book.
The editors, proofreaders, and researchers above... get higher wages. Instead of silver coins, they can be given food and cans, cloth, refined salt, etc. of equal value. These scarce supplies are more attractive. Nowadays, it is difficult to buy food and supplies even if you have money.
.
A newly built community in Nancheng was requisitioned by Yang Fan and used as a library. The community has a beautiful environment, good greening, and closed management, which is very suitable for book repair.
At this time, Chongzhen deeply felt the importance of Xinghe Supermarket. It not only brought taxes and dividends to the Queen's internal treasury, but more importantly, it used ultra-low-priced corn that was almost free to feed the lowest level people in the capital.
.Today, the capital is peaceful and stable, which is directly related to sufficient food.
Fortunately, he agreed to Dingyuan Hou's request to open a supermarket. Now the public security in the capital is stable and the people have no food to eat, all because of Yang Fan.
In Gyeonggi Province, the people in the city basically have Xinghe Supermarket to follow the food book.
The grain book allows the holder to purchase thirty kilograms of cornmeal per person per month, or coarse grains such as corn crumbs, corn crumbs, and corn noodles, according to the size of the family.
There are also 2 taels of fat pork per person per month, 1 tael of soybean oil per person per month, and 5 jins of dried salted fish per person per year.
In order to prevent iodine deficiency, each person can purchase three kilograms of dried kelp for one penny per kilogram per month.
The most popular one is the sea fish fried fish high cut.
Gao broken is a local word in the imperial capital. Its original meaning refers to tea foam.
Because the tea leaves are dry, they will be crushed during transportation and packaging. These tea foams are broken tea leaves. For example, some modern teas cost 3,000 yuan, which ordinary people cannot afford to drink. But the broken pieces when sifting tea in tea shops are also
Good tea priced at 3,000 yuan is not as good in quality and is full of dregs, but it is still delicious.
This is the only opportunity for ordinary people to enjoy good tea. Although it is too small to be brewed, the lower class people flock to it. It is a good choice to buy some to satisfy their cravings. It also gives face to entertain guests. I am proud to say that I am a high-quality tea in Biluochun.
Mo, this is the top grade of Mingqian Longjing.
Nowadays, in the mass-produced fried canned sea fish, the sea fish has been processed, and the scales, skin, internal organs, floats, heads, tails, fins, gills, etc. are removed. There are also minced meat dropped from the fried fish. These things, the factory
The crispy fried fish that has been used many times is the chopped sea fish.
Because there is a lot of fat, these things are very fragrant and crispy in texture. They are the best choice for the poor to satisfy their cravings and drink. The deeper the sea fish is fried, the more oil will be produced. A large amount of these high-cut pieces are added to the oil eliminated from the factory-fried sea fish, and some green onions are added.
, fried with light soy sauce, dark soy sauce and salt, it is fragrant. It is most popular when made into bibimbap and noodles mixed with scallion oil.
These things are packed in a tinplate bucket of 50 kilograms each.
Especially for those who work in the field, cook the noodles and pour the fish oil with the fried golden scallions, chopped scallion sauce, broken fish meat, crispy fish bones and fish scales, etc. It is very delicious.
Fried fish scales is a famous dish in the Ming Dynasty. In this era of scarcity, a fish would be eaten as meat on the first day, and the remaining internal organs, fish head, fish bones, fish skin, and fish scales would be fried and crispy in oil on the second day.
