Chapter 750 Geography
Chapter 750 Geographical
Although Yang Jing did not know much about how to survey and map, he was a master who could make requests. After making requests, he waited for the result. He chatted with Joshua Chan and Li Tianjing for a long time before letting the two go back.
During the chat, Yang Jing learned a lot about the map of the Ming Dynasty, which was a great gain.
The Ming Dynasty had not been able to revise maps. Since its founding, it began to revise the General Geographical Chronicle. After two hundred years of development, it has accumulated considerable experience in the survey, surveying and production of maps, and it has confirmed with the Western mapping experience. Maps with extremely high standards such as "Kunyu Wanguo Map", are considered to be not weak in actual mapping standards. Therefore, although Yang Jing had a high requirement for the new map, it was not too excessive. It was not necessary to make maps in a purely "false" way. In fact, there are traces to be found.
...
The government and the people have a lot of discussion about the emperor's new trends.
"I heard that Your Majesty is going to compile a clerk again..." The officials who were originally discussing the court were still idle because the emperor was late. The officials gathered together in groups of three or three to talk about the new trends in the court. The most common ones are the people. However, recently, the emperor's geography of the emperor has become a hot topic.
"Yes! This time, I don't know what His Majesty thought of, and suddenly he wanted to compile a geography..."
"...Didn't you say you want to build a human altar? Why is the human altar busy preparing geography again?" someone asked in confusion.
"...I want me to tell you! Your Majesty has never been aimed at it. This time I am afraid that it is not just to cultivate geography...." An official immediately said this. Due to his long-standing understanding of the emperor, this speculation is indeed very marketable. Once he said it, he immediately received the approval of the people around him. No one believes that the emperor has nothing to do when he is full. This matter will definitely refer to in the future, but he doesn't know what the emperor's current action is directed towards.
"...This is true. Cultivating geography is a huge project, and it requires countless manpower and financial resources. I heard that Your Majesty's requirements this time are very high and even a bit harsh. So, I'm afraid Your Majesty is not just for the purpose of cultivating geography, but it's just something else..." The officials chatted in groups of three or three.
Guessing the emperor's intentions has become something that many people are enthusiastic about.
...
"Gei Master, what do you think about His Majesty's sudden revision of his ambition this time?" Several officials surrounded Han Du, and one of them asked.
Han Yu pondered for a while before saying, "Of course it means something..."
"...I wonder what the old man pointed at is what he meant..."
"...Yes! Please give me advice..." The officials surrounding Han Du immediately flattered and asked.
"What is your Majesty's most concerned about now?" Han Du thought for a while and asked back.
"When I go back to the Lord, the things Your Majesty cares about now are the human world, and the war outside the pass. Could it be that they are all related to these two?" Some officials speculated.
"... Could it be that His Majesty really felt that the geography map album was not very detailed and misled to the command of the war, so he had to re-revise the geography? But now the Donglu are about to be pacified, so it is too late to re-revise the geography? " Another official guessed.
"No, it shouldn't be a war. The Eastern Captains outside the pass are already at the end of their journey. There is no need for His Majesty to spend so much energy on this for an Eastern Captain. It shouldn't be this..." Some officials immediately denied this statement.
Several officials looked at Han Du, hoping that Han Du would give a more confident answer. Everyone knows that the emperor will not be aimless. Since he has made any moves, he will naturally point out. Since he has made any moves, he must understand this point out and make some preparations in advance so that he can make some moves in front of the emperor, and in the future he can make profits with the emperor's big moves.
"I'm afraid this matter is indeed related to the war, but it must be related to the human world..." Han Du said when everyone looked at him. His news has always been much more informative than ordinary people, and inside information is not something that ordinary ministers can do, and his words are generally more reliable. Han Du is also more confident, because when the emperor wants to do certain things, he sometimes gives some words in advance. These words are a very important source of information.
"It really has something to do with the war? Master, no, my Ming Dynasty's national strength is now at its peak. Who else dares to be arrogant in front of my Ming Dynasty?" An official asked in disbelief.
"Gei Master, it has something to do with the people's realm, what's the matter?" Some people are not very concerned about military issues, but rather about the people's realm.
Han Dong smiled slightly, constantly stroking his beard, but he didn't talk to him, looking very profound.
"Please ask the Master of the Court to solve the problem..." several officials flattered him.
As he was speaking, the words "Your Majesty is here" shocked the ministers to disperse the discussion.
...
After a bow and bowing ceremony, today's court discussion is today.
"I'm late today... I'll say sorry first..." Yang Jie said first.
All the ministers said they didn't dare.
"Is there anything to report today?" Yang Jingwei asked.
Shi Fenglai was the first to stand up and said two irrelevant things.
The ministers also kept their minds, but they didn't bother with these irrelevant things.
After Shi Feng said this, the official stood up and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I have something unknown. Please let Your Majesty make it clear..."
"Oh, what's the matter?" Yang Jingang asked.
"Report to Your Majesty, I heard the rumors in the capital today. Your Majesty intends to revise the geography, but I wonder if it is taken seriously?" The official asked. After the official asked, the ministers in the first hall looked at Yang Jing.
Yang Jie laughed a few times, your sense of smell is quite obedient, and he has been quite successful in putting this bait.
"This is the case, but this is the case. I feel that the error in the geographic map atlas is still too large, which will lead to misjudgment of military information. There is no precise and accurate map, and there is no basis for making sand tables. It is very inconvenient... Han Qing's family, if I remember correctly, my geography of the Ming Dynasty has not been compiled for many years, right? It has always been used in the past..." Yang Jingjie said.
"Report to Your Majesty, this is true. My geography of the Ming Dynasty has been compiled since the beginning of the country, called "The Unification of the Ming Dynasty". However, this genre is not very accurate and has many mistakes. It is indeed inconvenient to use it. Later, it was added and revised on behalf of others, so it was considered a little better, but it was still not as precise..." Han Yu immediately stood up and replied.
"Yes! The geography of my official Ming Dynasty compiled countless errors, loopholes, and is basically unbearable to use. Now there are precise and accurate maps like "Kunyu Wanguo Map". In comparison, it makes the geography of the officials of my dynasty seem even more unbearable and shabby. I think that if I have the ability now, I still have to revise this geography... Since I have to repair it, I have to repair it well, at least not worse than "Kunyu Wanguo Map", otherwise, my Ming Dynasty and the country of the Celestial Empire will not be able to lose that face..." Yang Jingwei said.
"Your Majesty said so much..." Han Du immediately took over the conversation and agreed.
This court is indeed quite active, and perhaps it was Yang Jing's accustomed to it. No matter what happens, there will always be some objections.
"Your Majesty, I think it's inappropriate." As soon as Han Yu finished speaking, someone stood up to object.
"Oh, what's wrong?" Yang Jingang asked.
"Your Majesty, revising geography is a huge amount of money. Your Majesty thinks twice..." The minister said, and he really couldn't come up with any reason, so he could only give this one to say. In fact, the emperor is not short of money now, and this reason is the same as not saying it.
"I know that the Ministry of Revenue doesn't have much money, and I'll pay this money..." Yang Jie said.
The official's head shrank, and as he thought, the emperor would say so. Since the emperor said so, his business would be done, and the rest would not be his business. The most important thing is to show his attitude and show his existence.
"Your Majesty, I think that the geographical abbreviation ordered by my Ming official is indeed full of loopholes and is indeed unusable. Compared with the exquisite geographical map albums today, it is really shabby and incomparable. It is indeed necessary to revise it..." Shi Fenglai quickly stood up for the emperor on this issue. Revising geographical abbreviation is something that almost every emperor of the Ming Dynasty has done. The issue of cultivating arcs has always been highly valued by every emperor. Therefore, it is not a big deal for the emperor to resurveillance maps and revise geographical abbreviation, and there is no need to fight again. This is the emperor's right.
"Well, that's right... I'm really planning to re-survey and map the map, re-prepare a rule for surveying and mapping, and map more detailed and accurate maps to exceed the current more detailed and accurate maps. In this way, the court's solemnity is revealed... I'm still asking about this matter. What should I do in detail, and I have to ask clearly..." Yang Jingwei said.
The ministers did not really intend to stop the emperor from cultivating geography. What they were more concerned about was what the emperor was cultivating geography. But after talking for a long time, the emperor did not reveal any of the words about what was hidden in this matter, which made many ministers very anxious.
There was nothing else to do in this small court discussion. After easily setting up such a thing, it dispersed. The ministers were not concerned about the government affairs, but about what the purpose of re-revising geographical accusations.
...
The court discussion was dispersed.
There are still many people around Han Dong, asking Han Dong to give a note. Now there are many different opinions on this matter. If you cannot get accurate information, you will miss a very important opportunity to invest first.
"Old Ge, Old Ge, please be kind and help me to help you solve your doubts. What's going on?..." An official flattered and flattered him very much.
Han Yue smiled. If he had not received the emperor's "instructions", he might not have been very clear about this matter. After receiving the emperor's guidance, it would be too obvious to see the gap between these people and the emperor.
"Gei Master, it's not that Your Majesty wants to re-edit the geography to clear the land in the world..." An official expressed his inner thoughts.
"No, no..." Han Dong, who knew the inside story, immediately laughed when he heard this.
"...Your Majesty may not be in the mood to do this. Even if you really clean up the land in the world, can you collect more taxes? Your Majesty will take a favorable view? Your Majesty has many ways to accumulate wealth. Your Majesty is disdainful of such a thankless thing..." Han Yu said with a smile. It is not surprising that all the officials in the world have done their best on the land and are taking advantage of the court. It is natural to be afraid that the emperor will clean up the land. But Han Yu knew that the emperor would never offend so many people in the world in order to collect more taxes. The emperor may not be able to take a favorable view of the taxes that were cleared.
