Chapter 374 Good Emperor=Issues Imperial Decree
Entering October, the weather changes suddenly, the temperature drops rapidly, and almost every day makes people feel colder.
Although it is located in a palace, the old palace is still unable to withstand the attack of the cold air.
Wang Buxu kept stomping his feet back and forth. When the emperor was frozen at home, he looked like a bear. It was probably unprecedented and unprecedented.
"Your Majesty, please light some braziers. I don't know what's going on. It's really cold this year..." Zhang Buyi was also shivering from the cold, and he persuaded.
"Okay!" Wang Buxuan nodded.
Listening to the sound of the wind outside, my mind wandered into the distance again.
The clothes these days are not cold-resistant at all.
Wang Buxian wore several layers, but he still felt very cold.
Besides, it's just winter. If it were for a while, would it still be a big deal?
Soon, the brazier was brought in.
The moment the door of the meeting hall was opened, a gust of cold wind came in again.
Wang Buhang shivered violently.
Cold air from Siberia...
As for whether it comes from there, no matter what, it is the north wind anyway. If I say he comes from Siberia, he comes from Siberia!
"Pass to Zhang Liang, Chen Ping, and Xiao He!" Wang Buxu thought for a while and sent someone to call the three of them.
Although they had just left not long ago.
After all, this is the fifth year since I traveled back in time, and I have experienced a few winters.
Wang Buxu knew very well what the weather was like in October in previous years.
Well, this October refers to October in the lunar calendar, not October in the AD calendar.
So, correspondingly, it would be around late November or early December.
"His Majesty!"
Zhang Liang and the others quickly turned back.
Seeing that a brazier was lit in the meeting hall, he didn't notice anyone else and just started to warm himself around a brazier.
"This year's winter is abnormal, the court must prepare early!" Wang Buxu said directly.
Even the big guys like them, who have no worries about food and clothing, are frozen like this. What about the common people?
Next year will be the first year when the Han Dynasty has real taxation for the first time, but this winter, it is really not enough.
"I was still discussing this matter just now. I was planning to come back to your Majesty after making a decision!" Zhang Liang nodded.
He has lived in this world longer than Wang Buxu, so he knows better what this time and weather mean.
"This matter is really a headache now. If it gets colder, all mining areas and factories will have to stop." Xiao He said immediately.
"This can continue as long as it lasts. It's hard to stop farming. If it stops, the plan for the coming year will definitely be affected. Even the expansion of Luoyang may not be completed." Chen Ping said with a frown.
"We have to stop even if it's not finished!" Xiao He said with an extremely firm tone, and then said: "In this weather, the brick factory's finished product rate has been declining. The bricks were not dried enough and they exploded when they entered the kiln. If it rains and snows again, it will
Once the upper part is built, all the previous efforts will be wasted. We can't stand the cold weather even if we stay indoors. What about the people who have been working outside? Will they be able to bear it? "
"Then we have to find a way to stop. All plans have been postponed. Can this work be done?" Chen Ping naturally knew about the decline in the brick factory's yield.
It is said that the latest batch of bricks went in for 10,000 pieces, but came out with less than 8,000 pieces. They were broken a lot and many were deformed.
If this is the probability, then it is thanks to the 50% profit that Wang Buxu had previously set, otherwise, he really would not be able to bear it.
The defective rate alone can kill them.
"These are all trivial matters!" Wang Buxu interrupted the quarrel of his humerus ministers somewhat speechlessly.
I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: 'Hey, how come each of these people don't understand my thoughts so much? Can't you just save me some trouble?'
"When the brick factory is stopped, it will be stopped. People can be dragged to the mines to mine. As long as the weather is still good for mining, we can mine as much as we can. At worst, we will just expand the brick factory next year. The huge city of Luoyang is like that.
A brick factory is not enough!"
When Wang Buxu said this, the three of them felt a little embarrassed.
Your Majesty obviously doesn't care about the progress of these projects.
Since we care about the progress of the project but don't care about it, we naturally care about people and animals.
"Your Majesty, would you like to draft a decree to order all regions to strengthen inspections and deal with dangerous buildings in a timely manner?" Zhang Liang thought for a while and said.
This is also his job in Zhongshuling, drafting edicts...
It's just that the cards are not as big as Menxiasheng. Thinking of this, Zhang Liang feels a headache and regrets.
Why weren't you tougher in the first place?
Why should you leave the most pretentious things to the subordinates?
The most confused person is actually Wang Buxuan.
He did not participate in the whole process, and the ministers discussed the whole process themselves.
As a result, the format of the imperial edict was actually the same as that of the Tang Dynasty.
It starts with the word "menxia", then the text, and then the time!
Do you think it’s over here?
No, in fact, only one-third of the imperial edict has been completed at this time.
Yes, you read that right, the main text is complete, but only one-third of the content is completed?
Otherwise, how can we say that the court is orthodox? There must be rules, and everything must be in line with formality.
Next is the name of Zhongshu Ling’s official position, title (Xuan) Zhongshu Shilang... (Feng) Zhongshu Sheren... (Xing).
Okay, that’s it for the Zhongshu Proposal.
Next, the minister, the minister, the minister... the minister... gave words to Shizhong... and others.
After finishing speaking, I am still a member of the province. The edict is as follows. Please accept it. Please pay attention to the edict and carry it out. Please say it carefully.
Then came the emperor's approval, just one word!
Then, the edict should arrive at the Shangshu Province, and then there will be a bunch of the same content as above,
Finally, there is the name of the low-level official who copied the edict, and then the year, month and day.
This is a complete edict.
For such an edict, the person can be found in every link. In each department, who did which link, who was given first, who was given last, who read it, who supervised it, and who copied it are all very clear.
Wang Buxu looked at Zhang Liang in surprise, as if to say, just for this little reason, he issued an imperial edict?
It's not that Wang Buxian hasn't experienced it before, but the feeling is very sour and refreshing.
How sour and refreshing is it?
He could not finish writing an edict in one day.
Although it was very formal, serious, and rigorous, Wang Buxu still felt that it was too much trouble.
But there was nothing he could do, the rules were the rules.
If he, an orthodox court, even writes edicts in a vague and unclear way, how can he prove that he is the most orthodox?
Could it be that a fake has killed the real thing?
Wang is not hungry and doesn’t want to.
So I was too lazy to answer it. Anyway, I didn’t bother to write it myself. What I needed to write was just one word, but!
However, it was not only Wang Buxu who hated the edict, but also the officials in charge of running errands in Zhongshu Province.
They had to write it themselves first, and then take it to Zhongshu Provincial Department, who would review it one by one. After the review, they would come back with the list of participants, make a new copy, and send it to the emperor.
The emperor saw it and thought it was okay, so they came back and continued their visit to Shangshu Province.
Only after the Ministry of Secretariat has finished it can we take it back and write a serious copy.
Then he took the edict with a clear list and went one by one to have people sign and seal it, and then everything was done.
Then take it to the province for final review and proofreading.
After everything is ok, go back to the Zhongshu Provincial Department and copy a more complete copy, and then go to the Menxia Provincial Department for proofreading.
After everything went fine this time, I took it to the emperor to get it stamped. This time it was the seal from the Imperial Seal.
Then he took the two copies of the edict and went to the Minister of Finance together, and asked the Minister to review the copy signed by everyone.
After confirming that it is correct, leave the final copy in the Shangshu Province for them to execute.
Then the copy signed by everyone was brought back to Zhongshu Province, sealed and archived. At this point, the edict was truly completed.
The process is so complicated that it’s simply mind-boggling.
"Okay! Send it out as soon as possible!" Wang Buxuan nodded, so that he could show that the court valued it.
Since ancient times, I was definitely the first to issue an edict because of the cold weather, without any consideration.
Wang Buxuan suddenly thought of another thing.
Now that I've done it, it's not that bad.
Although the imperial court did not collect taxes, it did have official land.
In addition to the repatriation of the army this year, the new recruits are all at the border, so the internal consumption is not large.
After the harvest, the granaries were almost 70 to 80% full, not to mention bursting.
It's okay to leave it alone, why not use it to show off.
"In addition, for those who meet the requirements and give birth to children this year, they will be given one stone of food for each child!"
"Your Majesty..." As soon as Wang Buxian finished speaking, Chen Ping became nervous.
Chapter completed!
