As an emperor, the most important task is to maintain the existence of the empire and pass on the healthy empire as much as possible.

To do this, there are two necessary indicators.

First of all, you have many descendants, so that you can guarantee bloodline continuation.

For example, the Song Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty were caused by the fact that the emperor did not have children, so he found someone else in the royal family to succeed the throne.

This is definitely not good.

Take the Qing Dynasty, which is closest to us.

The previous emperors are all in line with each other. Is it better for them to govern the country?

Since Tongzhi, the emperor has been constantly looking for the royal family members of different parents to be emperors. Did the Qing Dynasty soon perish?

The reason is actually very simple.

Because the successors who have been trained from ancestors and parents must have systematically learned the mind skills and various knowledge.

Each of these princes knew that they could become emperors, so they learned very vigorously.

If you learn more, you will naturally understand more and you will not do anything wrong.

And those who had no chance to be emperors were born to eat, drink and have fun. Suddenly you called him the emperor, do you think he could do it well?

Can he manage a country well and not be fooled by ministers?

Many people say that Emperor Jiajing is an exception.

That's simply fart!

The decline of my Ming Dynasty began with this emperor who succeeded to the throne halfway!

Also, he engaged in power struggles all day long, sometimes doing great etiquette, sometimes jumped into the cabinet and fought with each other, sometimes he used Yan Song and his son to help control the court... and so on.

This guy did everything except for not doing personnel.

But he still lived a long life. He became the emperor for forty years in one go, making a mess of the Ming Dynasty, which was originally close to the revival of Zhonghua.

So, looking at it all, is it more reliable to pass on the emperor from generation to generation?

There is another point.

It means you must work diligently.

You don’t have to go to morning court every day, and work from early morning until midnight every day, but you must not be lazy and delegate your own responsibilities and powers to others.

The imperial authority that should be given must be firmly controlled by one's own hands.

A bastard like Wanli, who was unable to be made the crown prince for a blessing king, had not been to court for more than 30 years and had abandoned all his power... If Zhu Chongba knew about it, he could jump up from the grave and skin him and execute him!

A real man cannot be without power for a day.

Not to mention the emperor.

Liu Mingqi also knows this.

The same is true for Dakang's rules.

It may only take two or three times a month, but the emperor basically has to handle government affairs more or less every day.

Emperor Jinghe was in the Imperial Study Room every month, and the Qianqing Palace had to handle at least fifteen and a half days of official duties.

If you encounter an expedited situation, it is normal to stay up late to discuss things.

So for modern people like Liu Mingqi, isn’t this equivalent to finding a blessing of 996 for themselves?

I have become a prince, and I have all my status, welfare and benefits. I can play as long as I want. How can I have the intention to be such a miserable emperor?

Unfortunately, when Liu Mingqi said this, few people would believe it, and they all thought he was in Versailles.

After ascending the throne and becoming emperor, Liu Mingqi only relaxed for a few days, and a large number of memorials were already placed on his table.

Early this morning, after breakfast, Liu Mingqi began to process the memorials handed over last night.

The origin of this memorial is not that when you go to work in the morning, everyone will hand in their homework and then accumulate it the next day.

Memorials are available at any time.

Wenyuan Pavilion is guarding every twelve hours a day, and people are guarding it anytime and anywhere, just to avoid any memorial.

Especially important, the severity can be directly disturbed by the emperor's creation of humans - this is also one of the reasons why Wenyuan Pavilion was established in the palace.

The emperor dared not say the word "get out".

Emperor Taizu had regulations that the most urgent memorials must be read as soon as possible.

For example, two years ago, the Japanese pirates suddenly landed in Jiangsu and launched a memorial to kill. They arrived at the fifth hour and were sent to the door of the bedroom as soon as possible to wake up Emperor Jinghe.

If you think about it this way, this is no longer 996, it is purely 007!

It's inhumane!!

All right.

Complaints are meaningless.

Come back to your eyes.

Liu Mingqi picked up the memorial placed on the top.

This was written by Salt Administration Minister Bai Hengwang.

He said that in order to congratulate the new emperor on his ascension, the salt merchants joined forces to donate 10 million taels of silver.

The cabinet's notes were written by Liu Renhuai, and the silver notes of ten million taels of silver have arrived.

Liu Renhuai did not ask about the destination of the money, but came over to the memorial to let the emperor make a decision.

"It is for use by the Ministry of Revenue."

Liu Mingqi wrote the reply with a red cinnabar pen.

It’s not that he is generous, but that the salt merchant’s money is difficult to collect. After taking it, how can he attack the salt merchant in the future? From salt to a ticketed salt?

Before, Emperor Jing He didn't want to touch it too deeply, so he did not implement Liu Mingqi's suggestions.

Now is just right.

When Liu Mingqi is busy with the matter and controls the inside and outside of the court, she can attack them.

It really doesn't work. After Qinghai Lake was captured, all the salt merchants were trash in front of the court!

After thinking about it, Liu Mingqi added another sentence to the memorial.

"Salt Administration Minister Bai Hengwang, the biggest explanation to me is not allowed to return to Beijing to report on his duties this year. Doing salt affairs well."

Bai Hengwang still has the ability, but he is just too smooth and has not calmed down to do things.

In the past, he was a minister of Emperor Jinghe's residence and could provide the emperor's money at any time, so he was as stable as Mount Tai.

Now that Liu Mingqi has ascended the throne, he has no backer anymore. He just hit him again, and it seems that there will be a good effect.

...

The second memorial came from Sima Bei, the governor of Pengzhou Prefecture.

Sima Bei hoped that the court could provide another 10,000 cattle and rent them to the people, so that they could produce more food.

This kind of rental method is very novel. It is the same as when they buy land. It is divided into ten years according to the market price, and the interest rate for ten years is 50%.

This interest rate may seem high at first glance, but if you put it in ten years, you will be very conscientious.

The best loan interest rate for the first home that Liu Mingqi could get in his previous life was five o'clock.

There was no such good thing in ancient times. Before, people were asked to borrow money to buy land in Pengzhou Prefecture, and they were all relying on the face of the emperor and the court to make those money shops reluctantly borrow money.

But Liu Mingqi also understood Sima Bei's meaning very well.

Since Emperor Jinghe asked him to use Pengzhou Prefecture as a test field, he would make various attempts.

In fact, there were such things that the country used as an endorsement and lending things to the people before - for example, in the Han Dynasty, they borrowed cattle and horses for the people to raise and use.

But those strategies ended up losing power and failed.

But this did not prevent Sima Bei from making further attempts.

After thinking about it, Liu Mingqi still gave a reply: "Accurate!"

Dakang's Ministry of Revenue is not rich, but the experiment of a mere state government can still bear it.

...

The third memorial is a wonderful memorial presented by Zhu Kuanjie, the prefect of Xiangyang Prefecture.

"Recently, I caught a white deer outside Xiangyang Prefecture. This is God's wish to congratulate Your Majesty on His Majesty's prosperity. I would like to send this auspicious gift to the capital for the people of the world to know that His Majesty, Emperor Dakang, is the emperor of the gods."

Liu Mingqi only approved one word.

"roll!"

...

The fourth memorial is the memorial of the Ministry of War.
