[Comprehensive] I am not Michael

Returning to the Luoyang Palace with more than forty volumes of "Yongle Dadian", Zhao Changqing's first sentence was: "This trip is worthwhile."

He originally made this trip for this "Yongle Dadian".

There are more than [-] original copies of "Yongle Dadian". The original is a handwritten copy, also known as Yongle manuscript.In order to prevent similar things from happening, Jiajing ordered officials to transcribe, which is the famous Jiajing manuscript.Later, the Ming court put some of them into print.

That's right, compared with the more than [-] volumes of the original and the later Jiajing manuscripts, the more than [-] volumes recovered by Zhao Changqing are only a part of the real Yongle Canon, and it is still a very small part.

As for why Zhao Changqing went after it himself, it was entirely because the original version of the Yongle Canon, the Yongle manuscript, had disappeared.Now even what is hidden in the Forbidden City is only the Jiajing manuscript.

It wasn't long before Zhao Song took back China, and he didn't have time to count many things, the same is true for the collection of books in the palace. Hearing that the Yongle Grand Ceremony appeared in Luoyang, Zhao Changqing hurried over.

He was worried that the only surviving manuscript of Jiajing would also be taken out of the forbidden area.With the Yongle manuscript already lost and only the Jiajing manuscript remaining in the world, it would be a great pity to lose any copy.

It can be said that Zhao Changqing was really relieved when he saw the official edition that the shopkeeper took out at the book store.

It is wonderful that it is not the only remaining Jiajing manuscript.

Zhao Changqing asked the left and right: "Has the inventory of the books in the Forbidden City been completed?"

Zhao Changqing doesn't care about gold, silver and jewelry, antique decorations, these kinds of things, what he cares about are the only ancient books, calligraphy and paintings!The Yongle Dadian, which is an imperial engraving and official revision book, is the most important thing he pays attention to.

"Report to Your Majesty, not yet. At present, it is impossible to confirm whether the small court of the Manchu Qing Dynasty has brought some of them."

Zhao Changqing nodded and said, "Understood. Have the fields in various places been counted, and how has production resumed?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the statistics have been completed, but the redemption has not yet been completed, so the field distribution has not yet started."

"Let the subordinates speed up their actions. In addition, Huangzhuang, Guantian, and Zhitian must be in place as soon as possible."

Officials in the Song Dynasty, when they took up official positions, that is, when they got real jobs, they would also get corresponding job fields.And the job field has a special person in charge of taking care of it, and the income is also part of the official's salary.Taking Bao Zheng as an example, in the last few years of his official career, his average annual income was as high as [-] guan.Not to mention the Jiedushi with the highest salary.

This is a unique phenomenon in the officialdom of the Northern Song Dynasty. The life of the small officials below is poor, but the senior officials above are not greedy and can live happily.This is the high salary and honesty in the Song Dynasty.

Compared with the salaries of officials in the Northern Song Dynasty, the officials of the Qing court, well, the salaries of officials of the same level and the same official position are not even a fraction of that of officials in the Northern Song Dynasty!

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Li Donglin immediately flattered: "Your Majesty, once production resumes, there will be a steady flow of food, and the world will be stable!"

"Not only food production, but also all kinds of work, we can't relax. It's not that there is no advantage here. If nothing else, isn't the fine cloth very good?"

The Northern Song Dynasty was probably too rich. Apart from beggars, they were basically porters on the wharf, and the women in the family also had one or two pieces of miscellaneous silk clothes at the bottom of the box for special occasions.Therefore no one is pondering, exploiting the multiple uses of cotton.However, the Song Dynasty was the last song after all, and the later Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties could not reach the height of the Song Dynasty at all, so that the homespun fine cloth woven from cotton that can be widely planted entered thousands of households.Not to mention the homemade cloth, the fine cloth specially woven by the Weaving House for the court is indeed very good, and it is not inferior to some miscellaneous silk materials in terms of fineness and smoothness.

"Your Majesty is right." Seeing that Zhao Changqing was not annoyed, Li Donglin smiled more and said: "With the magic technique taught by His Majesty, there will be no need to worry about food for the next year, and manpower can also be freed up for wine brewing, weaving, and tea making ...Ah, with this in mind, there will be an opportunity for the long-standing land annexation in the Eastern Land!"

With the magic, food will become extremely cheap, and the value of manpower will rise sharply.By that time, only a few mu of land can solve the food ration problem for hundreds of people, and the population will not be tied to the land. If the land tax is collected, the land annexation problem will be suspended.

Because there is no one to cultivate the land but there are so many taxes to be paid, no matter whether it is a rich family or a common landlord, they will not continue to hold on to the land, and the problem of land annexation will be alleviated in a short time.At that time, the state took the opportunity to purchase a large amount of land to ensure the amount of state-owned land. Then, the country's long-term stability can be assured.

"That is a future matter."

Even though he said that, Li Donglin knew that what he said was in Zhao Changqing's heart.

The author has something to say:

The official engraved version here is fabricated by myself.

Historically, the disappearance of the original version of the Yongle Encyclopedia, that is, the Yongle manuscript, was a mystery. When Qianlong was preparing to compile the Siku Quanshu, it was already confirmed that the Yongle manuscript had disappeared, and only the Jiajing manuscript was kept in the palace.
