After the New Year's Eve, the cabinet went to the Ganqing Palace to greet Zhu Yunwen on a regular basis. By the way, I also asked if Zhu Yunwen had any instructions on the New Year's Cabinet.

Although Zhu Yunwen had basically never published any opinions in the past two years.

The emperor may not speak, but the minister must not refuse to ask for instructions.

"There are not many to-do items this year. Even if the overall project in Peking is about to be completed, someone will be sent to inspect it. In addition, whether the in-depth development of the eastern Moting should be established this year."

Wrapped in a thick cotton jacket, Xu Buji turned over the memorial in his hand. He did not mention any of the complicated details of the side branches. He just picked two relatively important matters and asked a simple question. After saying that, he looked up at Zhu Yunwen, waiting for the latter's opinion.

The decision to build a new capital in Peking was decided after the end of the 15th Plan. The original plan was completed in about 12 to 15 years, but because of the decision to stop building the outer walls, a large amount of construction period was cut off at once, and the overall construction was completed in just nine years this year.

"The overall construction of the new capital is imitated in Nanjing, divided into four parts: palace city, imperial city, inner city and outer city. The basic urban planning has been completed, and the materials required by the city have been basically coordinated.

Hebei, Liaodong, Moting and Shanxi will focus on production around Xindu. In addition, the overall construction of Pingjin Port is basically about to be completed. If you are transported by sea, the materials from Jiangnan can be fully transported to Pingjin Port within ten days."

Xu Buji closed the memorial and placed it on his thigh: "I can move the capital at any time after checking it."

"Um."

Zhu Yunwen, who was in charge, responded lightly and casually, "Then send someone to check as soon as possible. After the cabinet chooses a day to come out before coming to confirm the day."

After deciding this item, Xu Buji planned to continue speaking, whether the eastern Moting needed to conduct in-depth development project, but was stopped by Zhu Yunwen.

"Wait first, I have something to explain."

After pondering for a while, Zhu Yunwen said: "Last month, I copied a letter to the Academy of Sciences. As a rule, the content of this letter, both the Imperial College and the Hanlin Academy had to copy a copy for history. Then a Hanlin Lang wrote to me, saying that there was something wrong with the content in it."

Is there anything wrong with the emperor?

The people were all nervous.

"The main reason is that there is a mistake in the specific data." Zhu Yunwen let the others get nervous and said with a smile: "I said this in the letter.

‘I thank you for the 75 million people of the Ming Dynasty’.

When the 15th Five-Year Plan ended, our Ming Dynasty had 73.14 million people. Now ten years have passed and no new statistics have been conducted. I don’t know a rough idea, so I just used this data to estimate it and wrote it on the letter, so I was scolded by the Hanlin Academy.

Because the letter I wrote should be included in history, if it does not match the data of the national history and the Ministry of Revenue at that time, it will easily cause unknown historical materials to be found for future generations and it is difficult to find the difficulty of restoration. Therefore, this Hanlin Lang hopes to let the Ministry of Revenue count again, and the original words in my letter will be changed to the general term for the people of the world.

How many people does Daming have at present, let alone Zhu Yunwen, the cabinet does not know.

Inspecting the population is an extremely troublesome project. The Ming Dynasty’s household registration system is still in original handwritten paper, and there is no computer input system, so nodding must go door to door to door.

If someone dies and forgets to go to the yamen to cancel the household registration card. If someone has a new child, he may be too lazy to go to the yamen to log in to the household registration card. This will make the Ding Book in the local prefecture and county offices’ houses not accurate at all.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no such large-scale project to count the population more than ten times, and it only took one more time in an average of almost thirty years.

The ones that can be easily found are the Hongwu Dynasty twice, the Yongle Dynasty once, the Zhengde Dynasty and the Wanli Dynasty once.

The two dynasties of Tianqi and Chongzhen were busy dealing with various natural disasters, man-made disasters and wars. In addition, the disasters often resulted in deaths of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands, so there was no need to count them.

Since Zhu Yunwen ascended the throne, he has only counted it once after the 15th Five-Year Plan. It has been almost ten years since the dynasty, and no second time has been conducted.

"Just do this and set a date in the future. Isn't this year the 50th anniversary of the founding of the Ming Dynasty? After the investigation this year, a national census will be conducted every ten years."

Zhu Yunwen spoke and set his tone: "I still have the same requirement. As long as we are the people of our Ming Dynasty, we must register and record no matter what our identity is."

"This is all the fault of the ministers and others."

Xu Buji stood up and bowed: "If I had thought about it earlier, I would not have caused trouble for the Hanlin Academy."

This is probably a speaking skill.

Hanlin Lang of Hanlin Academy is all young people who have just left the academy. They can't speak in a brain and dare to say bluntly that the emperor's words are inappropriate, but Xu Buji will break up without mentioning them.

He took the responsibility directly on the cabinet and characterized the matter as the cabinet causing trouble for the Hanlin Academy to compile the history of the Hanlin Academy, which was because the work between the cabinet and the Hanlin Academy was not well connected.

No matter how small the flaw is, it should not appear on Zhu Yunwen.

“Not that particular.”

Zhu Yunwen smiled and waved his hand: "Just a small flaw, I also said it casually at the time. After all, it has not been carefully counted. It is indeed my fault. This kind of data must be detailed and scrutinized before it can be said.

Now the content of the letter is also a little changed before entering the history, so there will be no deviations that will be followed by the national history in the future, and the Ministry of Revenue will not meet.

Your cabinet doesn’t have to sue you. After all, a project that is so big as Ding’s tutoring cannot be done every year. It’s good to mobilize many troops and disturb the people once a decade.”

After a pause, Zhu Yunwen stood up and said, "Let's stop here today. Your cabinet will make your own decisions on other matters."

After saying that, he took a step and walked away. Several people hurriedly bowed: "Greatly send him to Your Majesty."

An emperor opened a golden mouth, and this new round of census operations was soon launched, and the first participant in this census was truly shocked by the world.

It is the current emperor Zhu Yunwen!

"In the past, the Ministry of Revenue summed up the number of Ding's mouths and never added the royal family. Could it be that I am not a native of the Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yunwen appeared in Jinshen Hall in casual clothes, waved his hand to signal the officials of the Ministry of Revenue Affairs Department to sit down: "Don't be nervous, I'll say you can remember it."

The two of them swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and although they were nervous, they still spread the paper quickly, waiting for Zhu Yunwen to speak.

"I, Zhu Yunwen, is from Fengyang Prefecture, Nanzhili, and was born in Yingtian Prefecture, Nanzhili. He was born on the fifth day of the 11th month of the first year of Emperor Ming."

As Zhu Yunwen was introduced, a large number of names and dates of birth began to be revealed from him.

"Five concubines, Ma Enhui, Gu Jing, Guo Qian, Jiang Yan, and Lu Jingchu.

Seven children, Zhu Wenkui, Zhu Wenqi, Zhu Wendi, Zhu Wenxu, Zhu Wentang, Zhu Ting, and Zhu Yunyue.

The four grandchildren are Zhu Zuncheng, Zhu Zunyun, Zhu Zunjiang, and Zhu Nihan."

The officials of the Ministry of Revenue copied them all in a flash, and after writing, they got up and planned to say goodbye and leave.

Although I was very excited to see the emperor, the pressure was too great at close range.

They wanted to leave, but Zhu Yunwen stretched out his hand again.

"Don't worry, there's still."

At this moment, both of them were stunned.
Chapter completed!
