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

Zhu Yunhuan gradually arranged for the Hongwu cannon to be distributed overseas.

The powerful and invincible General Cannon was gradually equipped in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

The important areas in the capital are all equipped with the "Equality of All Beings" cannon.

Zhu Yunhuan's Shenjiying was also deployed in secret.

In the seventh year of Chengqian, the three-year special examination was held again. This time, the special examination began to focus on the concept of mind learning.

Previously, although the School of Mind was promoted, Confucianism was a serious ideology after all, and it would take time for it to be implemented and accepted.

When the special examination kicked off, Zhu Yunhuan immediately embarked on a journey to the north for inspection. He had two purposes for this trip.

First, of course, he would personally check out the examination situation in the north and gain a deeper understanding of the local students' true views and attitudes toward the imperial examinations;

The second is about the important matter of building the imperial capital.

Along the way, Zhu Yunhuan took the trouble to go directly to the construction site of the new imperial capital, carefully inspected the progress of the construction project, communicated with local officials and craftsmen, and asked in detail about the problems encountered and their solutions.

What Zhu Yunhuan did not expect was that even though hundreds of thousands of civilians were mobilized at one time, after more than a year, the foundation of the new imperial capital had only just been laid.

This process is still a bit slow.

At the same time, Zhu Yunhuan did not forget to listen to the voices and opinions of the people. He visited villages in disguise and talked with the people to fully understand the local people's thoughts and opinions on moving the capital to the north.

As the ancients said, if you want to understand the sufferings of the people and truly govern a region, you must often go to the countryside instead of being confined to the government office all day.

Zhu Yunhuan deeply agreed with this. He has always adhered to this concept and often went deep into the grassroots to personally experience the ups and downs of people's lives.

When Zhu Yunhuan arrived in the north, the people were all excited and lined the streets to welcome him. They were full of respect and gratitude for this emperor who cared about people's livelihood and understood their feelings.

Zhu Yunhuan stayed in the north for several months. If he had not had to rush back to prepare for the palace examination, the people in the north would probably have tried every means to keep him and would have been reluctant to let him leave.

In the palace examination in the seventh year of Chengqian, the proportion of northern students who passed the exam increased compared with the previous two special examinations.

But compared with the south, it is still slightly weaker.

He still has more literary skills, which is understandable, of course.

After all, the North has been separated for so many years.

Zhu Yunhuan immediately issued an edict to designate Liaodong as a special economic zone.

Let the development of the North reach a higher level.

At this point, the five special economic zones of Jinling, Songjiang, Lingnan, Beiping and Liaodong were all in place.

Luoyang: Woo woo woo, woo woo woo, the baby is so sad, the baby is so sad, the baby wants to say, woo woo.

As the news of Liaodong being designated as a special economic zone was announced to the world, the North cheered again, while the South was dead silent.

Citizens from southern provinces: It's over, there's no love anymore. Ever since the announcement of moving the capital to the north, all good things have come to them in the north. We in the south haven't heard any good news for a long time. It's finally faded. We are not envious, we really are not envious, woohoo.

After the imperial examination came to an end, Zhu Yunhuan began to carry out large-scale transfers and arrangements for those who had passed the exam. After careful consideration, he dispatched all these new scholars to serve as officials throughout the country.

At the same time, the original local officials also underwent a comprehensive promotion and adjustment, but their destination was not to continue serving as officials in the inland as people expected, but to be moved to distant overseas areas.

Zhu Yunhuan had his own considerations for making such a decision.

Those young students who have just passed the imperial examination and entered the officialdom lack practical experience in being an official. If they are directly sent to remote or complex areas to serve, they may not be able to do their job well.
