Nan Ming Sun Never Sets

Chapter 334 The First Day of the New Emperor

The new emperor ascends the throne, and the whole country celebrates.

All units had a public holiday on this day, and the front pages of newspapers all reported the news that the Ming Dynasty welcomed the No. 20 Emperor.

Most of the common people didn't feel much about this news, because the state affairs had always been under the control of the Crown Prince Jianguo.Now it is just officially handed over from his father to his own hands, and many things have not changed.

There are several major events, the first is to change the Yuan.It is almost the end of the year. According to the usual practice, there is no need to change the yuan this year, and the commemoration of the 17th year of the Yongli calendar will be maintained until the next year.Starting from the next year to adopt a new year name, Bai Mingxiu chose a very literal year name—Guangfu.

For ordinary people, this year name means that the emperor Zhu Cixuan restored the Ming Dynasty and was regarded as the master of ZTE and the restoration of the country.For Bai Mingxiu, the title of restoration also carries more regrets, including another rise and rejuvenation of the Chinese nation in this plane, and even rebuilding new glories.

At the same time as the reign of Guangfu, there are also the calendar systems of the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar.Bai Mingxiu didn't change it to AD for so many years, what he changed was the calendar.In fact, the Gregorian calendar he adopted is not exactly the same as the current Gregorian calendar of Westerners, but comes from more sophisticated calculations of later generations.The lunar calendar is actually different. Like the Gregorian calendar, the calculations from later generations are precisely given by the system.

In the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, Qin Tianjian had a few haircuts that were not calculated accurately. When the solar terms did not happen, what should have happened did not happen, which affected agricultural production.The new lunar calendar presented by Bai Mingxiu is naturally more accurate.

The Ming Dynasty also adopted the dual-calendar method for the first time. The Gregorian calendar is used for normal official affairs and is more convenient to use; the lunar calendar is an indispensable thing for farmers to produce.

Another very important change is the Ming Dynasty Restoration Army. After the mission of restoration is completed, it would be wrong to continue to use this title, so the Daming Restoration Army has also officially changed its name to the Daming Army.Previously, Bai Mingxiu hesitated to choose names such as the Imperial Army and the National Defense Army, but in the end he chose the simplest name, the Daming Army.

As for other things, basically there is not much change from the period when he supervised the country.Bai Mingxiu actually has a series of plans for the New Deal, but these things need to be carried out gradually and cannot be rushed for a while.

On the first day he woke up as the emperor of Ming Dynasty, Bai Mingxiu still got up early to exercise in his mansion.

His house actually has an official name, Taiping Palace. Its original site was the house of the old traitor Hong Chengchou. It occupies a large area, but the layout is not large.After the Ming army invaded Shuntian Mansion, a relatively modern and functional mansion was added to the system list. The style is Chinese modern style, which is a mixture of wood and masonry structures. In some places, there are even armor reinforcements. The house was installed on Hong Chengchou's old house. Except that it looks the same on the outside, the style on the inside has actually changed.

For example, the Guangfu Hall, the main building of the Taiping Palace, is named after Bai Mingxiu's year name. It is a complex palace-style building with two floors, 19 meters high, and three underground floors.This building is mainly used as an office location, with a very large study room, conference hall, restaurant, and even a place for press conferences.And Bai Mingxiu's real "bedroom" is in a palace at the back. It is still in the modern Chinese style. The inside is not magnificent, but it is also very elegant. Everything from telephone lines, electric lights to laundry passages is available. .

Bai Mingxiu was doing some exercise in the yard. Sister Lion came at this time. She smiled and bowed slightly to Bai Mingxiu, saying, "Your Majesty."

Bai Mingxiu wiped the sweat off his face with a white towel, and he was a little shy, and said, "I'm really not used to this name."

Lioness smiled jokingly and said, "How do you feel, your first day as the Emperor of the Empire."

Bai Mingxiu pretended to think about it, and then said, "Well, it's no different from before."

Sister Lion opened a thick leather notebook she carried with her, and said: "You have a series of tasks to do today, including meeting with the Prime Minister of the Council in the morning, and then signing a series of edicts and decrees, um, in the afternoon There is another economic meeting to be held, which will be chaired by the Economic and Development Council."

Bai Mingxiu sighed, "I feel busier after becoming the emperor."

Sister Lion smiled and said: "This is an illusion, probably because the throne has just been handed over, and you need to deal with a lot of things. Including the revision of the printed banknotes and the redoing of a series of documents, these are all necessary. "

"Got it, I'll take care of it."

At this time, Bai Mingxiu was really envious of his cheap father who had relieved him of heavy responsibilities. From the beginning to the end, Zhu Youlang didn't really participate in any real government affairs, and he didn't make any decisions.Now that he has become the Supreme Emperor, he can just enjoy life leisurely, and Bai Mingxiu, who works hard, will do everything for him.

After having breakfast, Bai Mingxiu met with Prime Minister Tang Beilu in the Guangfu Hall of the Taiping Palace.This hard-working Prime Minister has three assistants to help him carry the documents.The moment Bai Mingxiu saw them, he felt a little uncomfortable.

Tang Beilu really said very easily: "Your Majesty, you need to issue a new series of edicts and decrees, which require you to use your seal. If you have any comments before using the seal, please read it and give Zhu Zhu, and the Council of Legislative Council will review it again. .”

Bai Mingxiu really couldn't entrust others to do these tasks. Although he trusted the ability of the ministers of the Council, he had to take care of the last one.

Tang Beilu also opened his notebook and began to talk about the problem: "...The next issue that the Legislative Yuan needs to focus on is the preparation of the establishment of the provincial and government offices. Fortunately, we have established offices in all southern provinces and cultivated There are more and more civil servants, so it is not a problem to replace the local government of the Qing Dynasty. The newly established provincial government offices include Shanxi Province, Shanxi Province, and Gansu Province. Well, there is one more important place that needs your Majesty Your decision. Our army left Zhangjiakou in the west and has already won naturalization. Their original purpose was to pursue the remnants of the Manchus, but we have recently received news that the Chahar tribes rebelled against the Manchus and fought against the Manchus. The result was a big defeat. The current principal of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is Fei Yanggu, who chose to plunder all the population of Monan Mongolia, and continued to be withdrawn, crossed the desert, and entered Mobei. Monan has now entered a double power and population vacuum."
