However, since the publication of the newspaper, Qingshen's workload has increased and reached a point of collapse. In addition to the Ming Empire Daily, she was responsible for the layout and cataloging.

Other newspapers and magazines from various places must first ask the court if they are not afraid to report them, that is, ask Princess Qingshen if she can report this matter.

Making money and propaganda are the main things, and it is also necessary to let the people know what the Ming Dynasty is experiencing. However, once some things are reported, they will be suspected of inciting national unity and inciting rebellion.

It's not easy to stick this hat on.

Picking up a newspaper and Fang Shiyu said, "Soon people got the news that I wanted to unify the weights and measures?"

Princess Qingshen said: "This is written by me. It is necessary to publicize the unified weights and measures. I read the history books of the Celestial Dynasty and unified the weights and measures from the Qin Emperor."

"But in just over a decade, the Qin Emperor collapsed, the world was in chaos, and wars continued, and all the places began to make their own measures. The weights and measures of the Han Dynasty were changed today and tomorrow."

"The official swaying naturally became the culprit for inconsistent weights and measures. It was still a little bit more forced in the Tang and Song dynasties, but after so many years, the local inconsistent weights and measures have become a foregone conclusion."

"There has never been a large-scale unified weight and measure incident in the Tang and Song dynasties. What Your Highness wants to do is to be in the past and present. I will naturally help you promote more."

Princess Qingshen had a smile on her face, and her pretty face looked at others.

Fang Shiyu chuckled and said, "Either Xu Miaojin nor Zhang Man knows if you, the North Korean who entered the palace, understands the history of the Celestial Empire, but it's a pity."

Qingshen's smile bloomed and he said, "I have been honored for three lives. If I marry into the palace, I naturally have to learn more."

"Let me do this, I'll send you more eunuchs and ask them to help you with it, otherwise when will you end up?"

Fang Shiyu felt a little worried. He was really afraid that Qingshen would focus on his work and forget his husband.

Unifying weights and measures is indeed a matter that must be solved and urgently needed for the New Ming Dynasty. Back then, Lao Zhu devoted himself to the people's livelihood.

He was too lazy to care about weights and measures.

In his opinion, it is not important for the people to eat, wear warm clothes, and measure weights and measures. In order not to burden the people everywhere, Lao Zhu himself grew grain in the imperial garden.

Try to limit local tribute.

But after nearly thirty years of Hongwu rule, the world has been in peace for a long time, and the people are no longer at ease with enough food and clothing. They need to make money and spend money on their money to live a wealthy life.

Fang Shiyu wanted to make money, unify the weights and measures of the world, and let the unit of measurement strictly follow the standards of the court in order to achieve better trade and trade exchanges.

Let the whole place be closer together.

Everyone eats the same food, wears the same clothes, speaks the same words, the same words, the unit of measurement, time and so on, and everything else.

Although the Ming Dynasty also had local dialects, the official dialect of the court was still the Nanjing dialect.

Only when the weights and measures are unified can Fang Shiyu be better able to mobilize the world's materials and give the people the opportunity to make money.

Making money is also convenient.

It can be said that since a negotiation at Wenhua Palace, it is not, to be precise, that Fang Shiyu went to Wenhua Palace to notify them.

After half a month, after the publicity and introduction of newspapers and magazines in various places, everyone in the world knew that the court had to unify the weights and measures, and even the necessity of newspapers and magazines to deeply analyze the weights and measures.

This was also regarded as the biggest national policy and the most important reform in the more than 30 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

Weights and measures seem insignificant, but they involve all aspects of the people's livelihood in the world.

Fang Shiyu, who is the acting emperor, did not ask too much. The time has been finalized, twelve hours a day, four quarters of an hour.

The Ming Dynasty already had the ability to make clocks and watches.

Of course, the current ability is still limited to the kind of big clock that is taller than humans, which is not a precision instrument in later generations.

But this breakthrough has given Fang Shiyu a lot of hope and issued a policy of weights and measures.

Officials from all over the country immediately conducted a re-inspection and destroyed all the local rulers without preservation. Fang Shiyu asked all localities to re-measure the land. He also formulated a strict measurement order and conducted strict inspections at all levels.

After the local government has measured the amount of the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Revenue has measured the amount of the Jinyiwei. After the Jinyiwei has measured the amount of the Jinyiwei, the acting emperor will still have to conduct random inspections.

Maybe I will check whoever is there.

Although Fang Shiyu lives in Beijing now and is still far from Jiangnan, it takes only three or four days to get there from Beijing to Nanjing.

What's more, it was soon Zhu Yuanzhang's three-year filial piety period. On the death of the three-year filial piety period, Fang Shiyu was going to Nanjing to pay his respects.

At this critical moment, the local officials not only did not cause trouble, but also inferred and figured out the determination of the acting emperor to unify the weights and measures through Fang Shiyu's intention to unify the weights and measures.

After all, Fang Shiyu personally said that he would randomly check the land in the local area, and to achieve the effect on the top and the bottom, and to have something to like, the lower part would have to submit it to it. After the provincial governors and prefectures and counties in the Ming Dynasty began to investigate and sort out various units of measurement, he wrote a letter to the court by learning from it, hoping to submit to his preferences and win the favor of the acting emperor.

If you really get the favor of the acting emperor, you will really be able to reach the top and climb the ladder!

The work of the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue was naturally done by themselves. As the acting emperor, Fang Shiyu was too lazy to intervene. Finally, he asked the Jinyiwei to measure it and then he found a place to check it out.

It's roughly OK

Anyway, Fang Shiyu can't really go to every village and check it one by one.

If that were the case, he would die of old age on the road before he had finished investigating various parts of the Ming Dynasty. So there was nothing major happening in Wenhua Palace recently, and Fang Shiyu turned his attention to the green grassland.

Beijing is still very close to the grassland.

However, the Anbei Protectorate and Dingbei Protectorate, two Protectorate, stood outside the side wall, nearly doubled the territory of the entire Ming Dynasty.

"Has the left governor of Anxi Protectorate was selected?" Fang Shiyu looked at the map with a serious expression and said.

Wei Hongcai said: "Your Highness, the left governor of the Anxi Protectorate, the voting result of the Seventh Army Governor's Office was Jiangyin Marquis Wu Gao, the Anbei Protectorate was Changsheng, and the left governor of the Liaobei Protectorate was Xie Cheng, the Marquis of Yongping."

"Oh? How to divide it, let me tell you in detail!" Fang Shiyu's face was calm. Fang Shiyu did not participate in the whole process of how these three left governors voted and how they chose. On the contrary, only Chang Sheng occupied a position in the three major protectors, and the others were still in the court.

As for the others, what Fang Shiyu really doubted is that there are so many dukes in the Ming Dynasty, why did the marquis be placed first?

This is not consistent with common sense.

Wei Hongcai bowed and said, "Your Highness, the votes of the Dukes of various countries are that the Anxi Protectorate and the Liaobei Protectorate will be chosen from the Marquis, and the Anbei Protectorate will be chosen from the Duke. The Dingbei Protectorate will be appointed by His Highness."

Upon hearing this, Fang Shiyu smiled and said, "There is also this method of dividing the spoils? It's good to play and it's beautiful. You can play with it!"

Fang Shiyu chuckled, "What a guy, these people have learned this now. There are not many dukes from the Ming Dynasty. Changsheng is the first to go to the Anbei Protectorate Mansion. The next one should be Duke Wei, and then Duke Wei and Duke Cao, hesitate.

There were only so many dukes, and they took turns to fight. There were too many marquises. They took two deserted places and let them act as a blessing. It was a pity that they could think of it.

"Your Highness, why don't I go and refuse them?"

Wei Hongcai saw Fang Shiyu laughing, and thought Fang Shiyu was not happy, so he quickly spoke.

"Forget it, forget it, let them play. Anyway, the Anbei Protectorate is crucial to the wealth of the court. Liaobei and Anxi are much worse."

"This opportunity will not last too long. When the court's tentacles can reach Anxi and Liaodong and control the grassland, the Protectorate will naturally withdraw the situation and be too lazy to pay attention to them and let them play by themselves!"

Fang Shiyu's complexion was plain and as pure as water.

He glanced at Wei Hongcai and said, "Did Duke Liang have reported the report? Where did he go?"

"Report to your Highness, Duke Liang has arrived at Zijing Pass and returned to the capital within two days." Wei Hongcai said bluntly.

"Okay, you go down first. Go to Ma Shu, tell her, I'll spend the night tonight and let her prepare some wine and food." Fang Shiyu looked at it, picked up the memorial from the side, and Wei Hong had just left.

Fang Shiyu looked back at Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait and said calmly: "Old Zhu, Qian is right. In this imperial examination, 57 students from the south took the exam, while only 21 students from the north were the largest, and the proportion gap was extremely different."

"If the court had stayed in Nanjing, the Ming Dynasty would sooner or later become an empire with only half of the south of the Yangtze River." Fang Shiyu gritted his teeth. In his hands, there were a list of the palace examinations that were about to begin, including more than 50 students from the south, while there were only twenty students from the north.

This terrifying gap.

If this continues, if the court does not promote education in the north and allows more people to read and read, and obtain fame, the court will sooner or later be occupied by the scholars of the south!
