Compared with Zhang Juzheng's preoccupation, Gao Gong was much more careless, even if he heard Zhu Ping'an say that his answer was four words, Gao Gong didn't seem to hear it, and he was calmly tasting tea.

Because there is no expectation, it is okay to be careless.

Gao Gong sipped tea while casually looking at Zhu Ping'an and Zhang Juzheng who were talking.

"Oh, I don't know what Lord Zhu's argument is, but I'm hoping to hear it in detail." Zhang Juzheng leaned forward slightly, and looked at Zhu Ping'an with a pair of eyes intently.

"Without him, 'reform and opening up' ears."

Zhu Ping'an smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and waved forward, his tone was as calm and confident as Zhang Juzheng just now, his gesture was as high as the arch just now, generous and powerful, the sun shone on Zhu Ping'an's face, and the reflected light made Zhang Juzheng look a little sideways.

Reform!

Although Zhu Ping'an's voice was not loud, the four words "reform and opening up" were like Huang Zhong Dalu, which suddenly resounded in the room, and the aftermath was lingering.

For a moment, it seemed that the whole room was echoing these four words.

"Reform and opening up?"

Zhang Juzheng was stunned when he heard this, these four words seemed simple, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt that these simple four words were incomparably broad and profound, and he couldn't help but repeat them softly.

The more I pondered, the more profound I felt.

Although he couldn't figure out the connotation of these four words for a while, Zhang Juzheng could also figure out some.

"Reform" is also change.

The word "reform" comes from the Zhao Wuling King Hufu cavalry shooting, in 307 BC Zhao Wuling King opened the history of the famous Hufu cavalry and archery reform, ordered the cavalry combat army of Zhao to obey the Central Plains traditional long skirt and long-sleeved clothing changed to the northern Hu people's compact short clothes and trousers, because the Hu people's service is mostly made of animal leather, so the change of military uniforms is also called "reform", and later the word reform gradually extended to "change, innovation" meaning.

Opening?

The first thing that Zhang Juzheng thought of from this word was to open the sea ban.

Open the sea ban!

This point of view coincides with my own thoughts, as well as the idea of high arches. Zhang Juzheng is well aware of the negative impact of the sea ban, which has restricted overseas trade and increased the contradictions among residents along the southeast coast......

The two Song Dynasty were weak, and the population of the territory was much lower than that of my Ming Dynasty, but the treasury income was much higher than that of my Ming Dynasty.

Why?

A large part of this is due to overseas trade, and the tariffs extracted by the city shipping department alone are a huge amount of fiscal revenue.

In the early days of the sea ban, it did have its positive effect, restricting the harassment of the Japanese pirates, but it was limited to the initial stage, and later with the strict sea ban, some maritime merchants and residents on the southeast coast whose interests were damaged colluded with the Japanese pirates, making the trouble of the Japanese more and more serious.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng's attitude towards today's sea ban is negative, believing that the sea ban should be lifted.

Zhang Juzheng knew that Gao Gong also advocated the opening of the sea ban, and when he talked about it in private, Gao Gong had already criticized the sea ban policy more than once.

From this point of view, if Zhu Ping'an's openness refers to the opening of the sea ban, it coincides with his own and Gao Gong's proposition.

After preliminarily interpreting the four words "reform and opening up", Zhang Juzheng's face became more and more serious.

When Zhang Juzheng was deeply shocked by the words "reform and opening up" thrown by Zhu Ping'an, the high arch on the side was no longer careless before.

Now.

Gao Gong, who was originally tasting tea, had already put down the cup in his hand at some point, looked at Zhu Ping'an with a pair of eyes like a falcon, and his body also turned around, facing Zhu Ping'an, with a serious look.

Reform!

These four words give Gao Gong no less shock than Zhang Juzheng.

At first, Gao Gong didn't care much about Zhu Ping'an's answer, because he didn't report his expectations at all, but the four words "reform and opening up" that were simple but profound at the beginning came out of the mouth of Zhu Ping'an, who didn't report his expectations, and the shocking effect was doubled.

Reform!

These two words seemed to carry a string of electricity in Gao Gong's mind, making Gao Gong's goosebumps rise.

In fact

Gao Gong thought in his heart more than once that if King Yu succeeded to the throne and was able to preside over the government, what he wanted to do was also reform.

The "righteousness for profit" that I just mentioned is the goal, and the means is reform, and "righteousness for profit" is realized through reform.

As for the opening, Gao Gong also thought of opening the sea ban, which coincided with his own thoughts.

Reform!

Zhu Ping'an's thoughts and his own ideas are so consistent?!

The fit is no less than Zhang Juzheng!

This made Gao Gong have to re-examine Zhu Ping'an.

I often correspond with Zhang Juzheng, discuss learning, governing policies, exchange ideals and ambitions, and often run in, and it is understandable that we are compatible.

But

There was basically no communication between himself and Zhu Ping'an before, but Zhu Ping'an's thoughts were so consistent with himself.

This made Gao Gong very surprised, pressing the chair hand with both hands, his body couldn't help leaning forward, looking at Zhu Ping'an with burning eyes, the contempt in his heart turned into attention, and the carelessness on his face also turned into preoccupation.

Zhang Juzheng's face and Gao Gong's expression changed, Zhu Ping'an was in his eyes, and he couldn't help but slightly hook the corners of his lips.

They are very satisfied with the shock brought to them by the national policy of "reform and opening up".

This was expected by Zhu Ping'an.

If the epoch-making national policy of "reform and opening up" cannot shock them, then they are not worthy of being called Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng.

"What is reform and opening up, please also ask Lord Zhu for advice." A few seconds later, Zhang Juzheng, who came back to his senses, asked.

"Reform and opening up, in short, is internal reform and opening up to the outside world." Zhu Ping'an was calm and unhurried, and his answers were fluent.

"Reform? How to reform? Gao Gong squinted his eyes slightly, knocked on the table, looked at Zhu Ping'an and asked.

"In terms of wealth and financial management, I believe that 'there is no stability without agriculture, no wealth without work, and no life without business'; agriculture is the foundation of the country, and without agriculture the world will be unstable; handicraft industry is the dominant factor of wealth, and without handicraft industry, the world will not be rich; commerce is the key to the vitality of agriculture and handicrafts, and commerce connects agriculture and handicrafts, and without commerce, agriculture and handicrafts will have no vitality. Therefore, reform should also start from here. Zhu Ping'an replied.

No farming, no stability, no work, no wealth, no business, no life!

Zhu Ping'an's words vividly summarized the dialectical relationship between agriculture, industry and commerce, and once again made Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong refreshed and shocked. This is the first time that Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong have heard someone sum up the relationship between agriculture and industry in this way, and the more they reminisce, the more they feel that it makes sense, and the relationship between agriculture and industry and commerce is not like this.

Nature.

Zhu Ping'an tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly in his heart, this is what people summed up in the modern 80s for the 5,000-year history of China, can there be any mistakes? !
