Section 122, tangled little brother
A lovely little lady stood downstairs of our Lord Jiang, and didn't care at all about the pointing and pointing of passers-by, but looked at this young and talented man affectionately, this scene is definitely a realistic interpretation of a talented and beautiful woman in the eyes of the world. But Jiang Tian, as the protagonist, didn't have such romantic ideas at all, or Hongyun's actions could be regarded as giving him a big problem. From the bottom of his heart, Jiang Tian originally had a good impression of this young girl with superb piano skills, but this was not the ambiguous feeling between men and women, but more simply appreciating her ability to adapt tunes. But what's going on now, obviously there is no emotional entanglement, but let her be at her door like this, it is inevitable that she will not be gossiped, of course, no one dares to point to the gate of Jiang's mansion and say irresponsible things, but behind the scenes, I can't tell how to spread rumors, so Jiang Tian instinctively wants to avoid this beautiful woman who throws himself into his arms.
In fact, even if there are some rumors, not to mention that this kind of scandal in this era is not lethal, even if someone attacks him for his bad morality, it will be a bad end at most, after all, in this society, a cheap woman like this has no human rights at all. It's just that Jiang Tian has never been able to grasp his identity well, so he cares about this. However, people have been standing outside the door all morning, even if Jiang Tian pretends not to see it, it is unlikely, so in desperation, Xinyue took the initiative to stand up to solve this problem, that is, during the lunch break, she changed back into a woman's dress and walked to the door and took the initiative to talk to Hongyun.
"My sister is standing here for a while, I don't know why I'm here?" No matter who she faces, Xinyue is a warm smile, even if this person may be her rival.
Although Hongyun is a popular celebrity in her own yard, she still doesn't dare to raise her when she sees this predecessor who was once famous in the capital, and everyone in the world knows that she Xinyue is the housekeeper of Jiang Mansion, although I don't know if she has been accepted by Jiang Tian, but at least from the current situation, before the eldest woman enters the door, Xinyue will be the housekeeper of Jiang Mansion: "I made my sister laugh, but my sister accidentally got the guidance of Lord Jiang yesterday, and she couldn't sleep at night. It was only when I arrived at this door that I remembered that I was from a humble background, and I didn't know what to do! ”
No one can find fault with this alone, and in just a few sentences, the image of a poor woman who is thirsty for knowledge is vividly depicted, but who is Xinyue? Although she has never sold herself, she is a treasure of all kinds of tricks in the Qinglou, I don't know how much I have seen this trick of throwing away and refusing to welcome, just one look can see whether Hongyun is sincere, but she has no reputation herself, and the identity that can best show her hand is only Jiang Tian's student, and even the housekeeper's errand is also nameless, so she has no right to send this little girl with too many eyes, in case Jiang Tian just likes this kind of tone, wouldn't she offend the master. In other words, ordinary people may have no choice but to enter the door to report, and deliberately point out that Hongyun is a drunkard, not in wine. But the heart moon is only counted in an instant.
"Oh? I think it's a new song that the master made yesterday, right? Today, it has been spread in the market, but I didn't expect it to be my sister who took the lead, and it just so happened that there were some sisters in the house who studied the master's new song, so I will make my own initiative today and ask you to teach one or two! ”
Looking at this sincere smile, Hongyun's heart instantly cooled half, and he didn't dare to show off his thoughts about showing off, and he seemed to be shameless and upside down, which was to see that Jiang Tian was not as affectionate as ordinary officials, and maybe he could make this young kid never forget it from now on. But Xinyue only used one sentence to refute her plan to meet the main master, although Jiang Fu's band did not perform in front of people, but no one in the circle knew that it was the territory of the imperial gift, Mo said that the woman herself is also a beauty of the country, that is, her musical attainments are also famous in this Qinglou world, and what is more famous is her perverse and arrogant character, she came under the guise of learning music, but she was directly assigned to Linglong, she definitely did not dare to underestimate this dignified predecessor at this moment.
Although the matter of Hongyun will become the talk of the people after dinner, for the political and officialdom, it is at most a gossip news, and it has no impact on the current power struggle. Due to Zhang Tao's over-urgency to implement reforms, the new bureaucrats who were originally closely united around the emperor have signs of loosening, which is certainly an opportunity worth taking advantage of for the diehards, but if Jiang Tian's creation of new songs yesterday will arouse attention within the literati, then the bureaucrats are more concerned about the reform trend of Jiang Tian, and those who are slightly dissatisfied with the new policy are reminded a little, and they can see that there will still be many opportunities to use power for personal gain in the future, maybe the money earned from doing business is several times more than that of being a landlord. What's more, Zhang Tao is not a vegetarian, and the people in the army faction know that this emperor is definitely going to cut through the chaos with the power of a hundred battles, they are a little dissatisfied and don't dare to really fight against the emperor, and they can see that if they don't stick to their position at this time, they will be liquidated by the emperor sooner or later, just a seemingly inconsequential second-in-command gathering, which made many guys who want to take advantage of the fire directly dispel their thoughts, so the wind direction in the court changed in an instant, and the diehards became precarious again.
Zhang Tao was not satisfied with Jiang Tian's help, according to this master's mind, because he knew that his approach was the road to prosperity that would lead the country to prosperity, so even if the whole world was opposed, he also had enough confidence and courage to fight the heavens and the earth. He knew very well that once the vested interest groups tasted the sweetness of industry and commerce, a new monopoly oligopoly would inevitably be born, which was just a change of skin for the original landlord class, and there was no problem in the period of rapid economic growth in a short period of time, but once it entered the stage of steady development or even sluggish growth, everyone knew that monopoly capital would stifle the vitality and competitiveness of the country, and then his children and grandchildren might have to face a behemoth that was even more difficult to deal with than the landlord class. This kind of compromise is like drinking water to quench thirst, it cannot break the fate of 300 years of reincarnation, and you can see what the future outcome will be when you look at the declining British Empire.
Jiang Tian, as a time-traveler in the 21st century, understands this truth better, and even sees it in the long term than Zhang Tao, but because of the generation gap between the two people, he is more inclined to use interests to guide the country, rather than Taizu's overnight leapfrog development. For China, a complex country with a huge territory, a large population, and a complex ethnic group, it is simply impossible to unify the thinking of all people in the country and upgrade to an industrial country as a whole. It's not that Taizu didn't do this back then, and the result is needless to say, or later Taizong figured it out, no matter how perfect the ideology and morality are, it is not as tempting as brocade clothes and jade food. Therefore, Jiang Tian was more inclined to gradually raise the economic level of the eastern coastal areas, and then gradually radiate to the western regions, using economic and financial means to lure the country into a capitalist society, if possible, it is best to catch up with or artificially create some economic crises in his lifetime, and in this way, promote the introduction of perfect laws and systems, and use Zhang Tao's personal prestige to force the new nobles to give up their political privileges.
"If we look at history, we can see that the change of dynasties in the past was not so much a matter of destiny as an inevitable trend triggered by the accumulation of class contradictions sufficient to reshuffle the cards. In the final analysis, it is the class antagonism that arises when culture and productivity do not correspond to the growing population. Therefore, even if there was no foreign invasion, it would be impossible for the Song Dynasty to avoid this reincarnation...... "Since some research has entered the right track, and most of the students in the improvement class are engaged in scientific research in the real room, Jiang Tian took over from an unqualified political teacher to make up a political lesson for the ordinary class. Because this course overlaps with the history class, Jiang Tian will naturally explain it in series, and this kind of perspective of analyzing history in political language is unprecedented, even the literati who are completely incomprehensible to science can listen to it with relish, and as for the novel words that pop up from time to time, these people have long been accustomed to it. Whenever this time comes, Zhang Huan, who is excellent in character and learning, always has all kinds of questions, and today he still raises his right hand high and hopes that Jiang Tian can answer it.
Teacher Jiang looked at this little guy with a little headache, he couldn't understand how a teenage boy could have so many questions, thinking that when he was in school, he was afraid that the teacher would ask questions by name, and every time he went to class, he hid in the back of the classmates in front of him with his head down, praying that the teacher couldn't see him. If you had this kind of intellectual curiosity back then, maybe you could have been an activist: "Say, what do you want to ask?" ”
Many people heard the helplessness in his words, but since His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't care, no one would scold Jiang Tian for being unreasonable, and anyone who had listened to Jiang Tian's lectures knew that there was probably no second person who could scold him except the emperor. Zhang Huan is still young, he has not formed the arrogance that a nobleman should have, and if he dares to play a big name in the classroom, his father will definitely punish himself after returning to the palace: "Sir, as you said, if there was no foreign invasion in the former Song Dynasty, would it be possible to complete the capitalist revolution?" ”
Jiang Tian nodded but shook his head: "Unless the revolution is led by the bourgeoisie, it will not be able to form capitalism in the true sense, and the reason why science began to flourish at the end of the Song Dynasty is also one of the means for the ruling class to counter the emerging capitalist class, and more importantly, since the Sui and Tang dynasties, state officials are mainly from the landlord class, and there is no European habit of spending money to buy titles, so it takes a long time to accumulate the state from an agrarian society to a capitalist society, Until one day, when the middle class, which represents the emerging interests, is large enough to threaten the rights of the rulers, a bloody class struggle will inevitably break out, and it is not clear who will be killed. ”
"Do you think capitalism will replace the imperial system that has been handed down for thousands of years?"
As soon as Zhang Huan's question came out, the temperature of the whole room seemed to have dropped a lot, and the other students, including the fake prince, did not dare to come out, and all stared at Jiang Tian without exception. If it weren't for Zhang Huan, the person who asked the question would definitely stand up and reprimand him for his rebellion.
Jiang Tian also knows that this issue is a bit more sensitive, but he is not worried that he will be labeled as a rebel, who makes the emperor also a traverser: "First of all, capitalist society can also retain imperial power, but this right will inevitably be weakened to the lowest level, and secondly, how to change society is not something that an idealist can decide out of thin air, it depends on the social conditions at that time, the most important thing is the level of education of the whole people and the development of productive forces. Or if there is no other higher civilization in this world, then the existing system can last for another thousand years. It's just that we don't have any of these two prerequisites, industrialization will be the mainstream of the future world development, and even if we rest on our laurels, those Western countries will not wait, and now they are doing business in a proper manner, because they can't beat us, who can guarantee that when they are strong, they will not drive warships to rob? Many small countries in Nanyang that paid tribute to us died at the hands of these people. Some Taoist gentlemen desperately advocate the closure of the country, but they don't know that these scum who have brought disaster to the country and the people just want to maintain the existing privileges. You don't want to change the law, but someone is changing the law to try to be strong, did those overlords of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States ever think that the barbarian Qin State could dominate the world? Now that His Majesty wants to reform the old and cloth the new, and let me teach this political lesson, do you think he deliberately wants to get along with his dragon chair? It's not that he has seen the general trend of the world, and he has to change the law for the sake of long-term peace and stability, even if the imperial power declines after a few hundred years, at least the royal family can still enjoy peace. ”
Zhang Huan didn't expect such an answer, but he had to fall into deep thought, his father is a person who values family affection, so the descendants of the Zhu family are just cutting their nationality for the people, and other people will definitely not be so resigned, just like the thief Li Zicheng, he is definitely not so magnanimous. Jiang Tian's words seem to be rebellious, but they have solved the question that many people have been asking for a long time, that is, why did Emperor Zhang set up a political class! If it weren't for the emperor's permission, Jiang Tian would have died in the prison. It turned out that the wise and martial emperor His Majesty saw his future outcome from the Zhu family, so he did not hesitate to share power and co-rule with the people of the world to protect the status of the imperial family. Not to mention looking at the neighbor Dongying, a few big landlords are just trying to earn a general, although the emperor is poor, at least he can keep his reputation, so that the Zhang family will not be able to live for a long time......
Because of the limitations of history, it is normal for these people to come to this conclusion, no matter how Jiang Tian explains the future of capitalization, they are unlikely to understand what capitalism is, in this era except for Zhang Tao and Jiang Tian, no one in the world can see clearly where the world will go, if it is not for the development of the level of navigation, the West began to extend its tentacles to the world, then China is indeed likely to spend another two thousand years towards the capitalist system. But the problem is that this kind of capitalism will definitely be different from European capitalism, because unless the Chinese merchants start to value political resources, actively participate in scientific research and even cultivate new ideas suitable for themselves, they will always be fattened and sheared by Confucian officials. It's a pity that Jiang Tian doesn't know what Chinese-style capitalism should look like, and perhaps the society he crossed over is the most likely form.
If the Chinese literati are worried about reform out of self-interest, of course, the reality is that no one really believes that the doctrine of the saints is unshakable, except for some nerds who are stupid and stupid. So what do foreigners think of China's reforms? Western merchants must raise their hands to welcome, the former outrageous trade quotas are gone, all kinds of pirates and smugglers across the sea are gone, although to trade in China to pay taxes, but they can most intuitively see that the goods are greatly enriched, once this huge country opens the door, the goods that can be supplied even exceed the total output of Europe! If it weren't for the New World's supply of precious metals for trading, none of them would have been able to trade with commodities they could get their hands on. Some ill-intentioned businessmen and missionaries have calculated that China alone will overwhelm all of Europe in terms of steel production, and if Spain had really been stupid enough to carry out the plan to invade China...... Fortunately, the country is too large, and the Tatars in the north are always not very honest, so that the rulers do not have too much thought to colonize and expand, otherwise Europe will inevitably tremble under this Chinese dragon.
In addition to these filthy colonists, there are also some people who are not very comfortable looking at China's reforms, and these people have a common characteristic, that is, they are nominally subject states of the Ming Dynasty, especially Korea and the Ryukyus. The whites did not know how wild the Han Chinese had been, but they knew it clearly and shuddered at the thought of it. Ryukyu Katsu is separated by a piece of the East China Sea in the middle, and he has always been loyal to his younger brother, so he is not too worried about his fate, and now there is a Japanese pirate as the emperor, maybe the suzerainty can still hope to drive these barbarians away when it is strong. North Korea is now in an embarrassing situation, Li Joseon was originally determined to be a filial son and grandson of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately the Manchu Qing Dynasty had to bow his head and change the court, both the Ming Dynasty and later generations, can understand their suffering. But now that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has fallen, the Ming Dynasty has not been able to prosper, the Central Plains has changed masters, and does not want to continue to implement the foreign policy of the former Ming Dynasty. They were not confident that they would be able to stop another invasion of the Central Plains, because the brilliant victory of the last sneak attack on Beijing made the whole of Korea understand that as long as there is no strong navy, they will be defenseless for China, and what is even more tragic is that after Yi Sunsin, there will be no Yi Sunsin......
