Chapter 526 Guo Jia: On the Plateau? Then I'll have to bring a doctor with me
Although it is not spring, the proud horse's hooves are galloping fast. It didn't take long for Yao Guangxiao to come to Beijing after the transfer.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was reborn later than others, once watched a movie with a strong political melody in the 21st century, in which Wang Baoqiang played a role, who once put the city wall of Beijing, the courtyard wall of Che Lu Shimao, a landlord and an old rich man, and once praised the wall for being very thick.
Now that he thinks about it, Zhu Yuanzhang feels that this evaluation, which seemed silly at the time, also seems very real, after all, the one who lives in it is the largest landlord in the entire empire.
As the largest member of the landlord's wealth, the emperor's important means of maintaining his rule was naturally through the scholars who stood on the same front with him. However, when these small landlords and old wealthymen gradually developed their own financial and material resources, and gradually had the ability to surpass him, the emperor, could his rule still be stable?
Economic development will certainly lead to their political demands. Fortunately, China has a long history of suppressing commerce, and no one sees the Venerable Master as a real political opponent. Some people may mention the red-capped merchants, but they are just a combination of economics and politics. As for the idea of controlling politics through smoking bans, the cost is actually very high in China's history.
In other words, they are lucky in a Chinese society where they can easily pass laws, or even easily enact laws to extort merchants' property, or else they will be the target of the capitalists, like the feudal rulers of Western governments.
Looking at the city of Beijing in front of him, he sometimes thinks that Chinese civilization does have its own characteristics. But this kind of characteristic, to a certain extent, also lags behind its own development.
Zhu Yuanzhang's evaluation of these things is very simple, whether it was in the past or now, it was simple, in the past, it was just a victor and a prince and a loser, and now, he wants to use the religion in his hands to completely change the production mode of this world.
To create the happiness of mankind itself, it must not rely on the immortal emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't remember the lyrics of the Internationale for a long time, because when he first heard the song. Psychologically traumatized, he originally thought that as an emperor, he could rely on the power in his hands to do more for the people of the world, but he never thought that maybe his behavior was just a salary to fight fires.
He was a well-meaning man who had done something wrong, but his actions were beyond reproach in the historical context of the time. After all, everyone has his historical limitations.
In the middle of Lushan, how can you know his true face?
In the poems of history, everyone can see through the general trend of history.
After a simple meditation, Zhu Yuanzhang continued to urge the BMW under his crotch. Walk towards the gate of the capital.
At the gate of the city, he met Guo Jia, who had come to greet him. This person is currently in progress, yes, due to his physical weakness. He did not receive an assignment from the Cabinet for activities. In front of him, he was smiling and welcoming Zhu Yuanzhang to Beijing.
When Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the capital was still Nanjing, and the city was for him. It's actually very unfamiliar. It is also a good thing for him to have such a tour guide who has lived in Beijing for a long time.
Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang was taken to his residence by Guo Jia. Hearing that Guo Jia ran a restaurant here, Zhu Yuanzhang was very curious to ask if it was the restaurant that the lords built when they rescued Emperor Chongzhen here.
Guo Jia smiled and shook his head and replied no. The restaurant has long been demolished and rebuilt, and is currently being renovated.
However, this restaurant and that restaurant are also very related, it is precisely because of the rescue of the emperor by the lords that they can have all kinds of privileges in Beijing in the late Ming Dynasty.
If other businessmen were here, I am afraid that the various forms of exploitation they have received will make them feel miserable, but they who single-handedly supported Zhu Youzhen to the throne of the emperor, in the eyes of the people at that time, undoubtedly had the merit of being a dragon, and now they are not uncommon for this kind of work, but their privileges are naturally given.
Since it has been delivered to the hand, there is no reason not to use it, and it is naturally a pity to throw it away for no reason.
As a result, under the instruction of the imperial leadership, there are many industries belonging to the empire, which have begun to develop vigorously, and if it were not for the concern that too many new technologies have appeared in a concentrated manner, it is likely that many people here will not be able to eat, and this place may have already become a modern city.
But even so, change has quietly begun. In many small commodity stores, ordinary citizens of the Ming Dynasty can see rare things from friendly countries. And many of them can also buy better printed books for less money.
The boss behind these shops is naturally Guo Jia, who is recuperating here. Of course, there are still many capable talents under him, but there is no need for him, a weak person, what are you busy here?
It's just that when I learned about these situations in the biography, I suddenly realized that these miscellaneous small commodities are actually more telling than empty preaching.
In other words, if they were to spread their doctrines, they knew of such rare and practical things as they could not directly and objectively attract the attention of others than empty and boring doctrines.
From this point of view, the city of Beijing, which was not yet commercially prosperous in the Ming Empire, was no more suitable for the spread of the teachings of the Datong Religion than those poor mountainous areas.
In the beginning, they chose to go wrong. Poor places don't necessarily continue to change poverty, because they don't go out into the depths of the mountains and don't know how beautiful the outside world is. And in this huge city, the local residents have seen billionaires, they know that the gap between the rich and the poor will seriously affect their fate, they, in fact, he is the one who wants to change his destiny in a hurry, then, this group of people is the people who should be taken seriously.
However, there is still some unwillingness, if these small commodities are transported to the Mongolian steppe or the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, in addition to the livestock needed in the Central Plains, it should also be able to let the people there understand the benefits of education in Datong. It is enough to give these goods, to promote a label called the doctrine of Homogeneity.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity: "Lao Guo, have you ever thought about selling these goods to the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?" ”
Guo Jia Guo Fengxiao, what a smart character, he didn't understand what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking at this moment? But he still gave the most honest answer: "To the plateau? Then I'll have to bring a company of doctors. (To be continued......)
