My Daming New Empire

After getting into the carriage at Donghua Gate, Zhu Zhanji opened the document that Li Liang had handed over, and handed it to Sun Xian. "I don't want you women to be confined in the palace for the rest of your life. The Counseling Department will expand in size in the future and will be moved to the Internal Treasury. The space here has been vacated, and I'm going to use it for you.

This is a pinyin alphabet based on Western characters and my Ming characters when I went to the West.Letters, initials, and finals are all marked with Chinese characters.You have been smart since you were young, and you can learn everything quickly. I hope you can take care of this matter and spend a year or two to phonetically annotate and organize all the Chinese characters, and transcribe the phonetics according to the dictionary in the Yongle Encyclopedia. . "

When Sun Xian heard the news, she was a little dazed.She lived in the deep palace for a long time, and Zhu Zhanji suddenly arranged such a task, she didn't even know how to start it.

Zhu Zhanji did this to save trouble, because today's Ming Dynasty official dialect is a bit biased towards Jianghuai dialect, which is similar to the Nanjing accent of later generations.

This kind of accent is quite different from the Mandarin of later generations, so Zhu Zhanji didn't have the time to phonetize Chinese characters one by one.

But although this incident seems small, it is a major event that will affect generations to come. Of course, he will not let a minister take the credit, so it is best to let Sun Xian take the lead.

It can be said that as long as she completes this matter, her queen status in the future will be higher than that of any queen in the future.

Seeing that Sun Xian was a little dazed, Zhu Zhanji said patiently: "In addition to you, I will let Master Xie join in on this matter. In addition, I brought back some scholars from the West this time, and they will help you complete it." .You can split characters, decompose them, and phoneticize them according to my alphabet. As long as you complete this work, you are destined to be famous forever."

Sun Xian shuddered, and looked at Zhu Zhanji with fiery eyes. "Your Highness, I'm a fool, I'm afraid I can't do well. Besides, those Confucian masters, would they think that a concubine is a rooster..."

"Don't care about those rotten scholars. You should do this first, and then pass it on to the whole country as a lesson for future education. This is no worse than three hundred thousand... Would you like to do it?"

Sun Xian nodded firmly. "I am willing!"

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "I'll ask the Advisory Department to clear a yard for you later, but you don't have to do this alone. Hu Liangdi, Lan Liangdi and all of them will join in. Dozens of you One person, one person is responsible for dozens of characters, and the thousands of commonly used characters can be fully phoneticized. When the time comes, the interpreters and others will be added to help you improve, so that your credit will not be taken away."

Sun Xian sat upright, and bowed prostrately again: "Your Highness, you are so kind to my concubine."

Sun Xian looked at the alphabet written by Zhu Zhanji seriously. Zhu Zhanji held Zhu Qizhen in his arms and teased him from time to time.

He was almost five years old, and at the time when he was lively and active, he lay on the window of the carriage, looked at the guards on horseback, envied him, pointed at the horse and said, "Daddy, ride a horse."

Normally, Sun Xian would definitely discipline her, but now she has entered a state of ecstasy looking at the alphabet.

Zhu Zhanji helped Zhu Qizhen put on the tiger hat, and said with a smile, "Daddy will take you to ride a horse... Li Liang, bring that docile Iberian horse..."

Only then did Sun Xian realize that the father and son were about to abandon her, she cast a reproachful look at Zhu Qizhen, the little guy immediately asked Zhu Zhanji for help, turned around and hugged his neck, not daring to look into Sun Xian's eyes.

"It's okay, I put him in my arms and won't fall him."

"Your Highness, be careful..."

Seeing that his mother was not stopping him, Zhu Qizhen immediately became happy. "Riding, I want to ride..."

After leaving Chaoyang Gate, Xiamaqiao Farm is not far away. At the intersection of Zhuangzi, Chen Cheng led a group of talents from the research institute, and they were already waiting at the intersection of Zhuangzi.

In addition to them, a large number of scholars and experts from various countries were also called over.

They arrived in Yingtian Mansion before the Spring Festival, and they have been here for a month, and they are already familiar with the customs and customs here.

But their work has not been arranged. Even Chen Cheng only divided them into different groups according to their majors, and didn't know what to arrange for them.

The main purpose of Zhu Zhanji recruiting them is of course to build a new university in Yingtianfu that is more practical.

Traditional Confucian teaching emphasizes theory, thinking, and application.

It takes a lot of energy to expect them to cater to you.

It's better to find a group of European scholars who don't have a deep relationship with them and build a new one.

Of course, Zhu Zhanji will not completely abandon Confucianism.Confucianism's great unification thought, ethics thought, rite, music, benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and forgiveness are important ideological weapons to maintain the great unification force of Ming Dynasty.

Chen Cheng is now the fifth-rank doctor of the Ministry of Industry, and this position is not considered high in the official ranks of Daming.

However, he is Zhu Zhanji's veritable butler, which gives him a detached status.

Just like Yang Shiqi, he is only a fifth-rank Zuochunfang University scholar, but because he is the chief steward of Zhu Gaochi's Zhan Shifu, even if he is an official of the sixth department, he dare not take the university casually when he sees him.

Moreover, after Chen Cheng came back from his mission to Timur Kingdom a few years ago, with the support of Zhu Zhanji, he published "Journey to the Western Regions" and "Records of Fan Guoguo in the Western Regions", two books introducing the situation in the Western Regions and India.

This made him a well-known literati in today's Ming court.

Zhu Zhanji's Habayashi School was originally in charge of Chen Li. After Chen Li was promoted to the commander of the Habayashi Guard, Zhang Fengshan has been in charge of the overall situation.

Zhang Fengshan was born in the army, and he has good skills, but he is not qualified to be the head of the Habayashi School, so Zhu Zhanji has been the head of the mountain now.

But apart from various trainings, Chen Cheng is basically in charge of the affairs of Habayashi School of Health.Otherwise, relying on Zhang Fengshan's original general position, he would not be able to resist the pressure brought by the great nobles in the capital.

As the actual controller of Habayashi Weixue, Chen Cheng's reputation is far greater than that of his industrial doctor.

Everyone didn't expect that when Zhu Zhanji came this time, he brought Zhu Qizhen and Sun Xian along.This caused a bit of confusion in their reception work, because there were no female relatives to receive her.

However, Zhu Zhanji didn't bother everyone too much, and asked Li Liang to take Sun Xian to contact a group of Western literati to learn about the laws of Western writing.

Today's Xiamaqiao Farm's largest unit is no longer the Habayashi Guard School, but the Daming Royal Hospital, which is now well-known throughout the entire Ming Dynasty.

This was originally the product of the imperial physicians drawn by the imperial physicians of the Imperial Hospital, and researched at the Medical Research Institute, but under the guidance of Zhu Zhanji, it became the first general hospital in Ming Dynasty.

The imperial doctors of the imperial hospital consider themselves the chief doctors of different departments, and their apprentices become the attending physicians.

Although the nurses in the hospital are mainly men, Zhu Zhanji thought that women are more careful, so he also recruited a group of female nurses, but they are mainly responsible for laundry and cleaning.

It's not that Zhu Zhanji doesn't want to use a lot of women, but the main reason is that most of the women are uneducated and don't even know the words, so they can't afford medical work at all.

After sending everyone away, only Xiamaqiao's management team and the heads of various research institutes were left behind, and then they all came to the large conference room of the Royal Hospital.

This nondescript large conference room was temporarily added by the hospital when Zhu Di came to the hospital for treatment once in 15 years.

At that time, Zhu Di needed continuous treatment for half a month because of worms in his stomach, so he built a large conference room in the hospital to facilitate his handling of government affairs.

Sitting down in the conference room, it was already dark, and the interior staff lit candles on the wall.

Chen Cheng started the work report, and it took him about half an hour to introduce the general development of Xiamaqiao Farm in the past three years.

No matter when, hospitals are huge profits, especially now that there is only one royal general hospital in Daming, and the nobles in the entire Ming Dynasty, including the wealthy class, will think of coming here when they have a serious illness.

There are even many nobles who simply take the hospital as their home because of their old age.These people brought huge income to the hospital, relying on this one hospital to maintain the balance of payments of the entire Xiamaqiao Farm.

Seeing Chen Cheng proudly announcing that Jin Kuo's annual appropriation for the past few years had been saved, Zhu Zhanji felt a little dumbfounded.

He didn't set up ten research institutes to make ends meet...

No matter what kind of research, it needs to consume huge funds. What the research institute needs is rational investment, not saving money. Saving money will not be able to develop new technologies and applications at all.

Of course, it doesn't mean that these three years have been eating nothing. There are several research institutes that have developed very well.

In the work reports of major research institutes, Zhu Zhanji happily accepted the impact of some new technologies.

For example, Gewu Research Institute, this research institute is mainly based on Ma Di, Zhu Zhanji's "student", they mainly conduct research in theory, and have already laid the foundation of theory in mechanics through research on hang gliding .

They have sorted out the basic knowledge system of physics and have made breakthroughs in mechanics.
