I, the Ming Dynasty, can still save me

Chapter 49 Reforming Dibao
The next day, Zhu Youxiao looked at the catalog of titles and found that many courtiers had already written letters of advice on the Kaiyuan tributaries.

After reading the question book carefully, I found that the remarks made by many officials were quite realistic.

For example, opening a shipping department and stationing officials at each port to collect customs duties; and discussing tea, wine, coinage, etc. There are quite a few people with ideas.

But he just wondered why he didn't have so many ideas before and only raised land taxes?

There may be reasons.

Maybe many people only talk big words, but now that they see him issuing an edict, they use it to make themselves famous.

It may be that some people have ambitions that they have not been able to implement, and they want to change but are not in the right position. This time, I sincerely wrote to express my opinions and begged myself to adopt them.

It is also possible that these maritime, tea, wine, salt and other interest groups are too powerful, and officials have long wanted to do it, but were blocked at every turn and did not dare to do it.

There are even some people who have benefited from it for a long time and do not want the court to touch their cake, so they become vegetarians and have enough to eat all day long.

But it doesn't matter now. Since the imperial court didn't do it before, let him do it himself.

Now it's just a matter of letting the bullets fly for a while and burning the fire a little brighter.

So he called He Ning to call the General Secretary to come over.

The General Affairs Secretary, the full name of the General Affairs Secretary, is in charge of the internal and external affairs, filing of reports, reports, and refutations. Whenever there are complaints, complaints, grievances, or illegal prosecutions, the reasons for the complaints will be written down in the notebook and submitted. Look and smell.

It is equivalent to the institution in the Ming Dynasty that handles the communication of internal and external memorials. It is one of the Nine Qings and has an extremely important status.

Since the General Administration Department has control over the uploading and distribution of memorials.Therefore, in order to let the local government know more information about the imperial court, it will regularly send reports to the local government.

Dibao is equivalent to the official newspaper in ancient China.

Every day, the General Administration Department will write down some important information about the emperor, such as weddings and funerals, important ceremonies, important edicts, and of course official promotions, punishments and rewards, and even major wars, economic conditions, social culture, diplomacy, etc. Write it in the Di Bao for everyone in the imperial court to know.

In ancient times, the dissemination of information was limited, so Di Bao was one of the most important channels for understanding local government decrees and specific situations, with a very wide audience.

Such a big killer has never been taken seriously.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had long been thinking about reform, and published more favorable information through Di Bao, establishing himself as an emperor who served the country and the people, and spoke for himself.

Today, he asked the Secretary of General Affairs to spread the situation of his political affairs and the measures taken by some officials in the capital and other places through Di Bao, so as to let the matter ferment and let more officials and people know about it.

Not long after, He Ning brought an official in.

"The Minister of General Affairs, Yuan Keli, the Director of Sizuo General Affairs Office, pays homage to Your Majesty. Long live my Emperor. Long live my Majesty."

"Be flat"

Yuan Keli?This man is famous, and Zhu Youxiao has heard about it in later generations. He was the first official official in the Ming Dynasty in the 300th year. He was promoted to official position in Suzhou, and he was not afraid of power and was upright, and quelled the "Dong Fan Rebellion".

After the Liao-Shen Incident, he served as the governor of Denglai, accepted the refugees from Liaodong, re-employed Mao Wenlong, resettled Dongjiang Town, and recovered southern Liaoning.

This made Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but take a good look at him.

"Zhang Chang, please give me a seat and serve tea."

"I'm calling the Secretary of General Affairs. Why is it you, Zuo Tongzheng, who is here?"

"Your Majesty, there has been a vacancy for the Secretary of General Affairs since the 47th year of Wanli. Since I was appointed Secretary of General Affairs in August this year, the late Emperor has not given up and has temporarily taken charge of the Secretary of General Affairs."

After hearing this, Yuan Keli stood up and reported.

The emperor's summons happened suddenly today. He didn't know what the purpose was and made no preparations. "I understand, but it's okay.

Yuan Keli, I have heard about you for a long time. When you were in office in Suzhou, you angrily criticized the prefect Li Lai, making him resign in shame. You also reviewed the Huzhou case and quelled the "Dong Fan Rebellion". You can be called the number one official in this dynasty. "

Yuan Keli only met the emperor when he ascended the throne and during the early dynasty.My only impression of Zhu Youxiao is that the new emperor ascended the throne and wanted to revitalize the imperial court.I didn't expect that the emperor would know about him just after he ascended the throne.

"Your Majesty has such praise, and I cannot bear it. Punishing evildoers and making judgments about right and wrong are the duties of an official. I am just in the right position at the right time."

"Hahaha, that's good. If there were more people like you, there wouldn't be so many unjust cases."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand for Yuan Keli to take a seat, and then said:

"I asked the people from the General Affairs Department to come here this time, mainly because I want to discuss the matter of Di Bao."

Yuan Keli couldn't help but wonder. The imperial court had its own system of reporting. What was the emperor's intention?Zhu Youxiao also saw his doubts and took a sip of tea.

"Zhang Chang, go and get a copy of the newspaper.

Yuan Aiqing, have you read the edict I asked the cabinet to issue yesterday? "

Yuan Keli has heard about this a long time ago. He is also worried about national affairs. He saw the edict yesterday and was ready to write a letter to express his opinions.

"I heard about it yesterday, and many courtiers started discussions last night, preparing to write letters and offer suggestions. They also praised the emperor's concern for national affairs, which is a blessing to our Ming Dynasty."

"Haha, that's very good. I am really in a dilemma about how the imperial court spends money. Now the imperial court uses a lot of money, but the money is not enough every year. I have just succeeded to the throne and I don't have the Midas touch to turn stone into gold. I can only ask my ministers for help. .

However, I looked at the title book of the memorial today and found that some of the memorial's words are indeed pertinent and very useful.

I just thought that I could make a special issue of Di Bao, excerpting my questions and some useful contents reported by the courtiers. I wonder if it is possible. "

While talking, Zhang Chang took over a copy of the Di newspaper, and Zhu Youxiao took it over and read it.

The Di Bao in his hand is like a booklet, with the word Di Bao written on the front page, and the words "October of the first year of Taichang" on the lower right. When you open it, you can see some major events of the previous month, including his ascension to the throne, the implementation of the law, etc.

Watching Zhu Youxiao flipping through the Di newspaper, Yuan Keli seemed to understand the emperor's thoughts. He wanted the scope of this matter to be wider, but he also thought it was okay.

"Your Majesty, this is easy. I will extract the contents of the title book that the emperor finds useful in the Di Bao, and send them to the Titang officials (directors of the provincial offices in Beijing) of each province in Beijing, so that they can be sent to the provinces as soon as possible."

But that's not all Zhu Youxiao had in mind.

"Yes, but I feel that our Ming Dynasty has been open to the public since the founding of the country by Taizu, and this is also the case today.

Since these memorials are beneficial to the country, they should be carefully discussed. I want to have the Hanlin Academy select people to discuss and elaborate on the content of the memorials, analyze the key pros and cons, and the difficulty of implementation.

Finally, the excerpt was distributed to local governments, and even to the people, so that the people in the capital and local areas could understand this matter and know how powerful it was. "

This made Yuan Keli look embarrassed. This Di Bao was an official newspaper, and it was all for the government, but it was not for the common people.

Zhu Youxiao knew that he was in a dilemma, so he continued to explain to him.

"This is very easy. From now on, the Di newspaper will be divided into two volumes, one is the internal publication and the other is the external publication. The internal publication is specially for the important officials of the imperial court to read. The content is confidential and cannot be leaked at will.

The content of foreign journals is straightforward and can be read by officials and ordinary people, but the ordinary people have to buy it. It is also good for the ordinary people to understand state affairs. "

　Historically, Yuan Keli only took up this position in the second year of Tianqi. Now the plot requires him to take office earlier.

　　Asking for monthly votes, comments, and collections!
