Daming: I really don’t want to be an emperor!

Xia Yuanji: I was superficial, I didn’t know I could make so much money.

Zhu Yunhuan: Then you deserve that disaster.

In the middle of the sixth year of Chengqian, the sun was scorching the earth. At this time, letters from various vassal states flew back to the capital one after another like snowflakes.

After a long journey, those princes who were granted fiefs have now arrived at their new fiefdoms one after another, and presented letters to the court to report their safety.

However, the content of the letter is not just that simple.

The princes all expressed that the local indigenous people, the so-called savages, did not seem willing to accept the new rule.

They often collude secretly and organize weak but tenacious resistance forces in an attempt to restore the country that once belonged to them.

Although the Ming army successfully suppressed these rebellions time and time again, it still faced many difficulties in truly achieving effective governance of this land.

The princes complained that these wild people showed great resistance to the new policies and management measures, and refused to cooperate actively no matter how they were persuaded or guided.

Therefore, they urgently hoped that the court would send capable people to assist in governance as soon as possible and jointly deal with this thorny issue.

Not only that, the princes also specifically mentioned in the letter that it would be great if a batch of powerful weapons and equipment could be transported at the same time.

Especially the famous Invincible General Cannon. If there are enough of them, it will definitely have a deterrent effect on those restless savages.

If a more advanced and extremely lethal cannon called "Equality of All Beings" is delivered together, it will undoubtedly become a powerful weapon to quell rebellions and consolidate rule.

"My nephew, please quickly bring me a thousand or eight hundred of the invincible great general cannons. This place is vast. If there are too few cannons, how can we suppress those evil-minded people?"

"My dear nephew, please send capable officials to assist me! Now I can only sleep for two hours a day. The rest of the time I am either busy dealing with complicated government affairs or traveling to handle government affairs. I am exhausted to the extreme! This life is really too tiring and too torturous!"

"Oh my, nephew, I miss the delicious mutton soup steamed buns in Xi'an so much! But the food in this barren place is as hard to swallow as pig food, which is disgusting! Please quickly arrange for someone to bring me more delicious food, otherwise I am afraid that I will become skinny as a bag of bones!"

"This is a remote place. Not only is it small, poor and backward, but the language spoken by the locals is even more confusing and hard to understand. It's just some incomprehensible bird language! Every time I hear these sounds, my head is about to explode! Nephew, you should send someone to take over my job as soon as possible. I really don't have the ability to manage this mess."

"Look at this damn place, it's run-down, poor, and the sanitary conditions are terrible. It's so filthy! My nephew, you have to send someone here to educate these uncivilized barbarians and spread the advanced culture of our Ming Dynasty to this place! Otherwise, I'm afraid that sooner or later I will be angered to death by these barbaric and vulgar guys, or die of disgust!"

"Hehehe, nephew, I have great news for you! I, your uncle, have discovered a large amount of oil here. It's the same oil you discovered in Liaodong. Isn't it very useful? Send people to transport and mine it as soon as possible."

"Jade mines! Nephew, there are so many jade mines here, send someone over quickly."

The princes complained to Zhu Yunhuan one by one, but some also reported good news.

Overseas is not a place for anyone to stay at all. It is far worse than the Ming Dynasty.

However, some princes who were assigned good places did not say anything, but just asked Zhu Yunhuan to send more troops.

Zhu Yunhuan looked at these memorials with mixed feelings.

"The vitality of the Nine Provinces depends on wind and thunder, it is a pity that all the horses are silent. I advise the God to shake himself up and send down talents regardless of their background. Oh, God, please send me more people to use."

Zhu Yunhuan sighed to the sky and felt an urge to make all the scholars officials.

But reason prevailed over impulse.

Without learning professional knowledge, being an official will only harm the country and the people.

Things will get worse and worse.

Zhu Yunhuan could only hope that more talents would appear for his use in next year's imperial examination.

The Ministry of Personnel has already been drawing personnel from all over the place, and some of the advisors have been sent to serve as officials. Now the Ming Dynasty has no reserve officials. There are not enough of them, so how can there be any reserve officials?

Zhu Yunhuan sent a large number of soldiers to England and asked Zhu Di to slow down a bit as the Ministry of Personnel was unable to keep up with the progress.

As Zhu Yunhuan enlightened his mind, liberated his thoughts, and promoted the Hundred Schools of Thought, the heyday of a hundred schools of thought, led by the School of Mind, reappeared.

The School of Mind and the Mohist School are almost equally influential.

In such a prosperous era, talents from all walks of life have emerged like mushrooms after rain.

"Learn new ideas and strive to become new youth. Under the leadership of Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty has leaped forward into an era."

"When Emperor Hongwu was in power, women had to bind their feet. Now women can work and support half the country."

"The ancients said that to rule the world, one must treat everyone equally. Your Majesty is doing this by treating everyone equally."

"Have you heard? The philosophy of Xinxue is to put the people first. It is clearly written in the book, long live the people! Your Majesty really cares about us, the people. At least Your Majesty treats us as human beings, not slaves."

"Your Majesty has placed our trust in your heart, so we will hold you high. I have decided to borrow some burial objects from my ancestors and build a temple for your Majesty."

"The wheat has ripened a thousand times, but the people have lived long for the first time. Your Majesty is truly worthy of being the greatest emperor of all time."

Zhu Yunhuan's prestige among the people was growing day by day.
