I'm really not doing business

Chapter 531: Does Ming Dynasty really exist?
Zhu Yijun was a little surprised, surprised by Daming's ability to accept new things.

Roaring steam engines were not regarded as monsters emitting black smoke, water and fertilizer were not regarded as strange powers and chaotic gods, large-scale mining was not regarded as destroying dragon veins, and steam engines roared past near the imperial mausoleum, and they were not disturbed. Forefathers and ancestors, the fast sailing ship was not regarded as the centrifugal force of the great unification, but was regarded as a weapon for maritime trade, and the captive animal husbandry was not regarded as rebelling against Tiangang. It was quickly accepted by the border people, and no food was grown in the land. Planting grass was a very strange production, but it was quickly accepted.

It's funny to say that the way the Ming Dynasty scholar-officials determined that water fertilizer was fertilizer was that it smelled as bad as compost. To be precise, it smelled worse than compost. Therefore, the fact that water fertilizer was fertilizer did not arouse the doubts of the scholar-officials. .

When Zhu Yijun came to the Ming Dynasty, he was given a wake-up call by Wang Dalong, who assassinated the king. Soon, Zhang Siwei burned down the palace because he did not satisfy the interests of the Jin Party. Zhu Yijun has developed the habit of showing leniency to enemies. As these new things continue to appear, Zhu Yijun has always been vigilant.

But the Ming Dynasty accepted new things very quickly. Even the humble Confucians did not shout about dragon veins, monsters, or disturbing the imperial tombs, but about soot.

The soot problem is not a rhetoric made up by cheap Confucianists. Talking about this problem is also based on practical experience. After all, the soot produced by Xishan coal washing, coking and steelmaking is real, making the haze disaster in the Ming Dynasty a normal occurrence. Every autumn and winter , every household must close its doors and windows tightly, otherwise it will be a layer of black dust, and you must wear a mask when going out.

Zhu Yijun attributed this to the simple pragmatism prevalent in the Ming Dynasty. Li Chengliang's bombardment of the Dragon King Temple was a reflection of this pragmatism.

The vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty also showed this kind of pragmatism. Zhu Yijun wrote to the princes of the Ming Dynasty to seek opinions on the relocation order. The vassal kings were enthusiastic and gathered together to make the decision. At the same time, they were most concerned about when they could move. Enter Beijing.

Zhu Yijun was very candid and told many princes that moving the vassal was to destroy the vassal. In the future, he would no longer seal the vassal in the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty. After coming to the capital, he still had to abide by the vassal ban, and he could no longer tolerate and protect the cunning, and he could no longer send deceit to his land. Under the royal family, strict restrictions will be placed on the clan, and in the future, further raids will be carried out to control the number of sects and vassals.

The system of descending raids means that, except for the princes, successive generations of descendants will descend. After the fifth generation, they will no longer record clan ultimatums and no longer enjoy clan privileges. Although the court did not explicitly stipulate this, it has been implemented for a long time. It has received 21796 vassals and registered clan clans. There were 62732 people in the vassal, and there were more than registered vassals during the Longqing period.

Ling Yunyi only has 1500 guest soldiers. The number of registered members of the royal clan of the Zhou Dynasty is more than that of Ling Yunyi's guest soldiers. Moreover, the matter involves the clan, so it is very troublesome to deal with it. If you are not careful, it will be a big problem. This is a royal clan, and it will cause trouble. What's not good is that the nine tribes will be punished for their grave crime.

King Zheng has entered Beijing and moved into the Ten Kings City. He is very satisfied with the many facilities in the Ten Kings City.

Zhu Di asked North Korea for horses, but was reported by the North Korean envoy. When Zhu Yuanzhang found out, he was extremely angry and asked Yanzhen that 170,000 horses were not enough for you. Why did you ask North Korea for horses?
"When the Prince's Mansion reduced the vassalage, if it had followed the Ji Fei Lu, there wouldn't have been so many troubles. It would be unwise to criticize the King of Hunan for no reason." Zhang Juzheng reminded His Majesty that Lord Jianwen was the reason for the reduction of the vassalage. It doesn't make sense.

King Ning recruited troops to appease the Hu people outside the Great Wall, and appointed Hu officials to form cavalry.

Prince Zheng's eldest son, Zhu Zaiyu, is also the emperor's uncle. Although he is not a relative and even played in the fifth server, how is the emperor's uncle Zhu Zaiyu treated? The dean of the Royal Academy of Art and Science can get gold coins from the stingy emperor indiscriminately for various specious reasons. Who in the Ming Dynasty can take money from the emperor indiscriminately, and easily start with a million taels!
Zhu Zaiyu was granted the title of Prince and lived in the Forbidden Garden. His Majesty was only two steps away.

Zhu Yunwen's announcement that King Xiang was rebellious was equivalent to Yan Song and Xu Jie announcing that the most corrupt official in the Ming Dynasty was Hai Rui!

"We will use force if we can this time." Li Yougong said: "After arriving at the palace, our family will go in first to declare the decree. If our family dies, it will not be too late to take action."

Zhang Juzheng said with great confidence: "Prince Zheng's Mansion moved from Prince De's Mansion to Ten Kings City before the Chinese New Year. Everyone in Prince Zheng's Mansion is extremely satisfied with Ten Kings City. Once the news comes out, the vassal kings everywhere will make the right choice. It's not harsh, but It’s Rong Yang.”

If the Prince of Xiang had committed many evil things, if the one who died was really the emperor's uncle who had committed many evil things, if Zhu Yunwen had named them one by one according to the "Imperial Record of Misconduct" in order to reduce the harm caused by the princes to the local areas, there wouldn't have been so many things.

The case of King Yan is a living example. When others accuse you of rebelling, you'd better be really rebelling and have the strength to rebel.

"Does your Majesty have a copy of "Imperial Records" in your palace?"

But in the first year of Jianwen, Emperor Jianwen Zhu Yunwen still sent troops to Jingzhou, and even disguised themselves as a timber caravan and unexpectedly surrounded the Prince of Xiang's Mansion.

Most of the evil deeds of the vassal kings recorded in "Yu Zhi Ji Fei Lu" are consistent with other historical materials such as Ming Shi Lu, and it is basically believed that they were written by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

Zhu Yijun issued an edict to move Henan to vassal status. This edict arrived in Henan on the twelfth day of the first lunar month. Ling Yunyi, Governor of Shandong and Henan, received the imperial edict. The eunuch who came to Henan this time was Li Yougong, the third person in the palace. The second move to the feudal clan was of great importance and there was no room for failure.

Zhang Juzheng's words are already very polite. It is polite to say that Jianwenjun has no political wisdom. In fact, what Zhang Juzheng wants to say is that Jianwenjun is really stupid and bad.

"Yu Zhi Ji Fei Lu" records the viciousness of the major vassal kings of the Ming Dynasty and their murderous behavior. For example, King Zhu Bo of Qi killed 482 of his commanding Qianhu captains and their family members for no reason, and Zhu Zi, the old king of Batan, forced his sergeants to kill tigers, etc. Wild beasts, fighting beasts without weapons. Later, Tan King Zhu Zi was summoned to the capital by Zhu Yuanzhang because he was too ridiculous and implicated in the Hu Weiyong case. Tan King Zhu Zi was so frightened that he burned the palace to the ground and burned himself to death in the palace. .

Zhang Juzheng asked about an old book. This book was a collection of criticism written by Zhu Yuanzhang in the 20th year of Hongwu. The content of the criticism was that Emperor Gao, Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, angrily criticized the vassal king for being lawless.

"Indeed, I have seen it." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Even Emperor Cheng Zuwen and Prince Ning are among them."

The cheap scholars of the Ming Dynasty dared to scold the emperor in his nose and face, what else could they not dare to do? The cheap Confucians of the Ming Dynasty never criticized Qi Jiguang. Even when Qi Jiguang was on an expedition, the Confucian scholars were so angry that they did not dare to name or mention him.

Zhu Bai did not do evil, and the greatest joy in his life was cultivating Taoism. In the 21st year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang called Zhu Bai to the capital and gave him a good scolding because Zhu Bai practiced Taoism and could not have children.

There is no black material about King Yan and King Ning of Daning in the non-records of the popular version, because it was deleted during the Yongle period. Zhu Di was the emperor, and King Ning had the merit of serving the dragon, so naturally he had to protect one, two, and one. It was deleted, but the original record in the palace was very clear. The biggest scandal about King Yan and King Ning was that they were recruiting troops.

"Prince Zheng's Mansion is already empty. Zhou, Tang, Yi and Zhao have the largest number of people among the four princes' mansions, including Kaifeng. Prince Zhou's Mansion has 5235 people. If you want to move, start with the most difficult one." Ling Yunyi's eyes showed a fierce look. What he likes most is It's boring to chew on hard bones and soft bones!

During the Jianwen period, the vassal king who died was Zhu Bai, King of Hunan.

Zhu Yunwen refused to deal with so many beasts and insisted on forcing a harmless King Xiang to death. After King Xiang committed suicide, all the princes immediately understood that Lord Jianwen was planning to kill all his uncles indiscriminately.

Zhu Bai's second favorite hobby was to suppress bandits. He and the King of Chu plowed the banditry in Huguang. These were his two major hobbies.

"I hope, I hope the clan can make the right choice." Zhu Yijun said with emotion.

Zhu Yijun had nothing to do with the current Zhu Zaiyu. Every time Zhu Yijun could only say: Uncle Emperor, look at the money that is so vain.

Zhu Bai angrily set the palace on fire, rode a white horse and jumped into the fire. Everyone in the palace followed, and no one survived.

There are restrictions but there are also benefits. Zhu Yijun very frankly explained the reason for doing this.

Zhu Yijun told the princes from all over the country frankly, and the princes from all over the country responded with letters expressing their support. They wanted to build the ten kings' cities and palaces as soon as possible. They didn't want to stay there for a day. Zhang Juzheng's examination method did not carry out examinations for the distribution of stipends. Many princes' palaces There is no way to maintain it.

It contains all the beastly behavior of the Ming Dynasty vassal kings outside the country, and family scandals should not be made public. However, this "Yu Zhi Fei Lu" was widely circulated, and there was a copy in the Yongle period.

The Ming Dynasty did have a stage for feudal princes to rebel, but it was not without any preconditions. It was for no reason. Zhu Zaiyu's treatment was a banner for the emperor to express his friendship. It was a great way to stabilize the uneasy hearts of feudal princes everywhere. The heart has a very powerful effect.

But Zhu Yijun also promised that overseas vassals would be implemented. The newly opened overseas colonies of the Ming Dynasty would be vassalized after they were safe and stable. The emperor would give them a sufficient salary. King Zheng's annual salary was four hundred shi. The king took Prince Zheng's Mansion as an example, which provided full salary and fixed salary once a year; the ten princes' mansions would have schools, and those who were not registered in the clan could make a living by themselves if they succeeded in their studies, and they could gain fame by passing the imperial examination;

The implementation of the vassal ban during the Yongle period was also related to the excessive misbehavior of the vassal kings during the Hongwu period.

Zhu Bai had no descendants. According to the Ming Dynasty's inheritance law, Zhu Bai had no children and his country would be eliminated after his death. Therefore, Zhu Bai was among the most harmless in the wave of vassal reduction during the Jianwen period, because as soon as he died, Prince Xiang's palace was automatically destroyed. Where else needs to be cut?

Li Yougong's identity was the emperor's messenger and an angel. If he died in the palace of the King of Zhou, it would mean that the King of Zhou actually rebelled, so it would be appropriate and reasonable to suppress the rebellion.

The Prince of Yan rebelled because Lord Jianwen made it clear that he would kill all his uncles without distinction, even if he had no children; the Prince of Han rebelled because of Zhu Di’s original promise; the Prince of Ning rebelled because Emperor Wu Zong had no heirs.

Because Feng Guo Gong Qi Jiguang really had the strength to rebel, the cheap Confucians always praised Qi Jiguang for his unspeakable loyalty.

Every time His Majesty has any major events, he will bring his uncle Zhu Zaiyu to attend, to show his close friendship, and he will always reward him during the holidays.

Everything sounds nice and he supports the emperor's decision, but Zhu Yijun is still a little worried. Even though countless people have told Zhu Yijun that Zongfan does not have the ability to rebel now, but when King Yan rebelled, he also did not have the ability to rebel. He was full of plans. Eight hundred soldiers rebelled just like that, and finally won and went to Beijing to become emperor.

The emperor gave Li Yougong a warning and told him not to irritate the princes on the ground in Henan, but to understand them with emotion and reason, to explain clearly the interests involved, to explain the treatment clearly, and to have a deep understanding of the thoughts and demands of the princes from all over the country. , if you really don’t want to move to a feudal clan, you need to understand the reasons for your resistance.

Zhu Yijun showed great patience in the order of moving the vassal, starting with Zhu Zaiyu's move to Beijing, and then to Prince Zheng's Mansion. With little effort, he had the intention of moving the vassal to eliminate the vassal, but he did not want to create a vassal king. When rebellion breaks out, this is a typical example of wanting and wanting.

Of course, if you really don't want to move to the vassal, you can discuss it many times. If you rebel in order to resist the emperor's order, Zhu Yijun will not let him go lightly.

When talking, talk carefully. If there is really a fight, Zhu Yijun can only play the card of sharp soldiers from the Beijing camp, and the court also has a little force.

Ling Yunyi swaggered through the city with 1,500 guest soldiers, heading towards Prince Zhou's Mansion. Prince Zhou's Mansion was much richer than Prince Zheng's Mansion, but it was also limited. The water in the moat was smelly and no one was taking care of it. The guest soldiers quickly surrounded the Prince's Mansion. Stay, after Li Yougong showed the letter card, Tie Linjun opened the city gate.

"What's going on with this door?" Li Yougong looked at the door in front of him blankly.

Tie Linjun, who was guarding the palace, sighed and said: "It broke down during the Hongzhi period. I asked for money to repair it, but the court didn't give it. It has been delayed until now."

Half of the gate of Prince Zhou's Mansion can be opened and closed normally, while the other half is supported by a wooden frame behind it. It is obviously broken, but it has not been repaired, so it can only be supported like this.

Nine out of ten rooms in Prince Zheng's Mansion have collapsed, while Prince Zhou's Mansion is better. Although it is not dilapidated and deserted, you can still see that it is overgrown with weeds and lacks repairs. "The last repairs were made by the Yellow River flood in the seventh year of Tianshun. The Prince of Zhou's Mansion was flooded. After that repair, it was never repaired again." Tielin Jun let Angel enter the city gate.

Li Yougong had just walked past Xiao Qiang, which is the Meridian Gate of the outer city wall. When he reached the Long Pavilion, he heard a cry: "Is the angel coming? The angel is finally here!"

Li Yougong looked up and saw a figure on the Wufeng Tower of the Limen Gate on the inner city wall.

King Zhou, who was wearing military uniform, waved his hand, then ran down the Wufeng Tower and disappeared on the city wall.

The Ming Dynasty's vassal ban was not to ban the outer city, but the inner city. In other words, the vassal king was the vassal queen, and he could not leave the inner city gate without an edict. Fengyang was imprisoned under a high wall. Zhu Zaiyu's father, Prince Zheng Zhu Hounan, reported to him about Taoist Master Xuan Xiu, so he was thrown into the high wall for fifteen years.

The inner city gate slowly opened, and Li Yougong walked in.

The already old King of Zhou Zhu Zaicheng waited for Li Yougong to enter the Duanli Gate, grabbed Li Yougong and asked eagerly: "Your Majesty finally remembered that our vassal king is here? Then the old boy King Zheng, just because he has a good Son, you can escape from confinement earlier than us old bones! When should we set off now?"

Walking the dog, playing with the birds, fighting crickets, and supporting the actors! Such good days are coming soon!
Zhu Zaicheng, the old man, took the prince of Zhou with him. He was really full of expectations. This sincerity did not seem to be hypocritical.

"Let's set off today, don't waste a moment, hurry up, hurry up." Zhou Wang Zhu Zaicheng was still urging.

Li Yougong was also a little confused by this enthusiasm. Governor Ling Yunyi was besieging the city outside, but inside the palace, he was so eager to move the vassal state. Who was advocating moving the vassal state to Beijing?
Li Yougong had no choice but to say to Zhu Zaicheng: "The King of Zhou accepted the order."

Zhu Zaicheng then slapped his forehead and said: "Ah, forget about this, just take the order and take the order."

The edict was very long. General Zhu Yijun made it very clear why he wanted to move the vassal state. The main reason was the conflict between people and land. If the vassal state was not moved, the local sages and gentry would send them to the royal palace, and the Ming Dynasty would perish in the long run. One loss would lead to the death of the Ming Dynasty. The imperial edict talks about contradictions, but King Zhou doesn't care about these at all. He only cares about when to move.

When he heard that it would take three days to prepare, King Zhou was obviously a little disappointed.

"It's okay, it's okay. After waiting for so many years, it's not impossible to wait for three more days. You can wait." Zhu Zai grabbed his son Zhu Suqin from behind and said, "Son, wait for three more days and we will go out."

"Dad, are there really many, many people and many many cars outside?" Twenty-year-old Zhu Suqin said in confusion.

Zhu Zaicheng said a little confused: "I don't know either."

"I'm just like you. I've been living in the palace since I was a child. It's just a small place and I've never been out. The same is true for your grandfather, and the same is true for your grandfather's grandfather. We've been staying in this palace for generations. What's going on outside? , Grandpa You didn’t tell me either.”

Li Yougong's eyelids jumped when he heard this!

He finally understood why King Zhou was so eager!
They are born here in all their lives, and they will only walk out of this Duanli Gate on the day of death. This is the case in all their lives. This is not a royal palace, it is clearly a prison. The place where they live in all their lives is within these four gates.

People are the sum total of social relations, but Zhu Zaicheng and Zhu Suqin's social relations are only limited to this Sifang City. Social relations are not simple, but isolated from the world. Tenants and slaves have been slaves for life, and these princes' mansions They have been isolated from the outside world for generations.

Zhu Suqin said with great conviction: "I think so. I heard from the maids who entered the palace that there are really many people and cars outside."

The emperor was worried about the rebellion of the vassal king, and the vassal king was worried about the emperor going back on his word and agreeing to move the vassal to Beijing, but suddenly not moving. After waiting here and there, he finally received His Majesty's mercy a year later.

The old boy, King Zheng, scolded Taoist Master Xuanxiu and was imprisoned within a high wall. At least he made a trip to Fengyang, but since the Zhou Palace was established again in the Yongle period, he never left the house again in his life. Okay, is there any difference between being locked up behind a high wall and being locked up in a palace? It doesn't seem to make any difference.

Li Yougong left the palace and explained the situation to Ling Yunyi, who also looked confused.

Putting yourself in another person's shoes is actually very difficult to do. The emperor, Zhang Juzheng, Ling Yunyi, Li Yougong, and the imperial court were all worried that the palace would not return to the capital, but little did they know that the Ming dynasty prohibited people from leaving the inner city gate.

Even though the future of entering the capital is uncertain and we don't know what the emperor will do, it is still not a pity if he is willing to go out and at least see the outside world. For Zhu Zaicheng and Zhu Suqin, they must first determine one thing. That is whether Ming Dynasty really exists.

They were in the palace from birth to death. Throughout their lives, for them, the existence of the Ming Dynasty was just hearsay. They had never seen the mountains or the rivers. Everything in the book meant nothing to Zhu Zaizhen and Empress Zhu. As far as Zhu Suqin is concerned, they are just words in books and other people's words.

The white-haired King of Zhou was the most Ming Dynasty I had seen in my life, and Zhu Changzhi, who was less than two years old, had seen more. Zhu Changzhi often leaned against the driver's window and asked questions, like a hundred thousand whys.

Does Ming Dynasty really exist?
When the car drove slowly out of Prince Zhou's Mansion, this question finally had a definite answer. It existed. When the car drove through the streets of Kaifeng Mansion, the streets were full of people. The Ming Dynasty existed; when passing by the Yellow River , saw the Yellow River still frozen in early spring, the Ming Dynasty existed; when they saw the Taihang Mountains in the distance, they saw the mountains for the first time, the Ming Dynasty existed.

The Ming Dynasty is real, the emperor is real, everything is real.

The chariots of the vassal kings from Henan Province entering the capital entered the capital on the 27th of the first lunar month and went directly to the Ten Kings City.

There are still vassal bans in the Ten Kings Castle, but they are vassal bans in the Ten Kings City. There are no bans in the royal city, and if there are reasonable reasons, you can also apply to go to places outside the royal city.

"So, for the Ming Dynasty clan, the relocation order also abolished the slave status? Is this the freedom of the clan?" Zhu Yijun asked in a daze as he watched the long car drive into the Ten Kings City.

Ten Kings City and Beidaying are close to each other. Zhu Yijun stood in Beidaying and watched the vassal kings enter the capital. Before, the vassal princes repeatedly expressed their support for the imperial decree, but Zhu Yijun didn't believe it. Until now, Zhu Yijun finally believed it.

Although they lost their fiefdoms, they gained freedom. This price was acceptable to all the feudal kings, because before that, for all the feudal kings, their fiefdoms were illusory. They exchanged things that did not exist for a certain degree of freedom.

Even though this freedom has many restrictions, it is still freedom.

"At the beginning, Hou Yu Zhao had a memorial, saying that the county king and below were allowed to make a living on their own. In today's situation, and then think about the method proposed by Hou Yu Zhao, it turns out that there is a reason why the decree can be implemented. Hou Yu Zhao is still There is something." Zhu Yijun remembered the story of Hou Yu Zhao and others going retrograde in the first year of Wanli.

Feng Bao shook his head and said: "At that time, Hou Yuzhao was just trying to make a wise move out of a hurry. He just hit the right spot. At that time, he had no practical experience, so he only came up with brilliant strokes by chance."

When he could speak ill of civil servants, Feng Bao would never say good things. He could actually say that Hou Yuzhao was extremely talented and had a sincere heart, so he had fantastic ideas. But he didn't. He said Hou Yuzhao based on reality. Zhao had no practical experience at the time, so the blind cat encountered a dead mouse.

Hou Yuzhao is now the governor of Liaodong. The promotion of the Liaodong Dusi to the Chief Secretary of the first-level administrative region is in progress. Li Chengliang has maintained a high degree of cooperation throughout the process. Li Chengliang thinks that he will work until death. His son Li Rusong leads the Beijing camp. Let's try to create a duke for their old Li family.

This was the way the British Duke behaved in those days. Zhang Fu's father died in the civil war, so Zhang Fu was granted the title of Marquis. Then Zhang Fu made numerous meritorious deeds and became the British Duke. He had a bright future and ambitions of becoming a Duke. Li Chengliang is not so clear about whether he wants to be the king of the barbarians regardless of being hereditary.

"Let's go to the Ten Kings City." Zhu Yijun thought about it and planned to go to the Ten Kings City.

The layout of the Ten Kings City is different from that of the Beitucheng. The Ten Kings City is an irregular bastion with only ditches and no water in the moat. The people stationed in the Ten Kings City are sharp soldiers from the Beijing camp. The interior of the Ten Kings City is based on the Bagua pattern, with the Bagua outside. , Inner Liangyi, the prince and below live in the outer Bagua, while the prince lives in the inner Liangyi.

Zhu Yijun's arrival was actually a bit sudden and caused some trouble. The five kings in Henan gathered in the Ten Kings City. It was time to clean up. When Zhu Yijun arrived, everyone had to put down what they were doing and come to see His Majesty.

"I pay homage to your Majesty, long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty." The five princes brought many princes to the ceremony.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said with a smile: "No courtesy, no courtesy, King Zhou, are you satisfied with the City of Ten Kings?"

"Satisfied, satisfied." Zhu Zaicheng nodded repeatedly and said: "The pillars in that room are harder than stones. Chang Shi told me that this thing will not collapse, it will not collapse, and the windows are bright and clean, with glass on them, okay Very, very good.”

Several feudal lords all stated the reasons for their satisfaction, each with their own satisfaction. Some were satisfied with the living environment, some were satisfied with the school, some were satisfied that people became respectful, and some were satisfied that they no longer had to worry about daily necessities.

The servants became respectful, which everyone agreed with, because before they entered the capital, the servants were very bold, and the lords could not do anything to them anyway, but now they arrived in the capital it was different.

Zhu Yijun asked the feudal lords to go down and do their own things. He walked around the Ten Kings City. It must be said that the Dingjian construction project supervised by Wang Chonggu was really strong. The entire Ten Kings City was built in a grand and grand manner, even better than Zhu Yijun's. Tonghe Palace is quite impressive.

Outside the Ten Kings City is the Royal Institute of Technology of the Ming Dynasty. Tomorrow is the official opening day of the Institute of Technology.

Compared with the smooth implementation of the feudal transfer order, the enrollment at the Royal Institute of Technology was not so smooth. The school was originally scheduled to start on the 16th, but it was postponed to the 24th.

Mainly due to affiliation issues, the Imperial Institute of Technology’s Jijiu hopes to bring the Royal Institute of Technology under the supervision of the Ministry of Rites, that is, the Royal Institute of Technology and the Imperial Institute of Technology will be established simultaneously, or to be more clear, the Royal Institute of Technology will be renamed the Ming Institute of Technology.

The Imperial Institute of Science and Technology is a research institute and the emperor's personal weapon, while the Polytechnic Institute is a school building and a public tool.

This caused some controversy, but Zhu Yijun was very tough in the end and did not place it under the Ministry of Rites alongside the Imperial College, but under the Internal Affairs Bureau.
