Chapter 136: If you can't change the law, then you can renovate
Da Cheng is a good comrade!
Gonggong Wei subconsciously prepared to applaud, but soon realized that something was wrong, so he coughed lightly, and his waist was much taller unconsciously.
Xu Xianchun saw it next to him, and after thinking for a while, he bowed slightly, so that it seemed that Gonggong Wei was taller than him.
Someone in the room spoke again: "Brother Ruan is right, since we are officials, we must be good officials, only by keeping in line with the interests of the people and serving the people at all times, can we really be a good official, and we can truly call ourselves a student of Duke Wei!" ”
There was 10,000 sincerity in this passionate voice.
"Well, the real integration is not to listen to the spirit of our family." Grandpa Wei nodded appreciatively, "Who is this person?" ”
Xu Xianchun hurriedly said softly: "It was Cheng Zhengji, the head of the Ministry of Officials, who spoke just now. ”
"Oh? Is that Shanxi Changzhi Cheng Zhengji? We know this person, we know... This person used to be a member of the Donglin Party, but now I am afraid that he has really drawn a line with Donglin. ”
Gonggong Wei still has a very impressive impression of Cheng Zhengji, this person is the thief general and iron-faced judge in "Donglin Point General".
I think that this Cheng was still a typical backward element back then, but now he has already put the spirit of Father-in-law Wei into practice and kept it in mind, and Father-in-law is full of emotion.
Sure enough, only study and labor can truly and thoroughly transform a person!
"Master Cheng is good."
Everyone who came to Dajue Temple was personally received by Xu Xianchun, although there was no in-depth contact, Xu Xianchun had a good impression of this Cheng Zhengji.
However, there is one thing Xu Xianchun didn't know, that is, this Cheng director was kidnapped by Gonggong Wei when he was traveling in Wuxi.
Of course, the word kidnapping may not be appropriate, if it is based on the father-in-law's characterization of the Donglin Academy incident, it should be called arrested.
"In today's court, the party is fiercely fighting, and the important ministers and ministers are all forming parties for personal gain, and they are disputing state affairs but focusing on the interests of the party and ignoring the interests of the country. Saying that the people are rich and the country is strong, it's just a fart, I have seen and heard in Nanzhi Zhufu, and I can conclude that this people's wealth is by no means the real people. ”
There was another voice of righteous indignation in the house, and this time Father-in-law Wei didn't need Xu Xianchun to say it.
"It's Sun Bijing,"
Grandpa Wei rubbed his hands happily, "Okay, he has made great progress." ”
Sun Bixian is also listed as a general, and the number "Yizhang Qing" is. He was once ordered by Gonggong Wei to be reprimanded, but after that, Sun Bixian changed his past and took the initiative to sign up for the imperial army clerical internship. Later, he returned to his hometown half a year later to take the exam, and he was a high school jinshi for forty-four years, and he was the head of the ministry like Cheng Zhengji, but he was the candidate.
The reason for the appointment is because the emperor has been unwilling to make up for the official position for more than 20 years.
The emperor did not give the official seal certificate, and the yamen wanted people to do things, so many jinshi like Sun Bixian worked in the name of the candidates in the yamen.
As soon as Sun Bixian's words fell, he heard Ruan Dacheng shout: "So we can't just be a good official, just being a good official can't be a good official, we have to be a good official who can lead the people to make a fortune and lead them to the road of a well-off life!" Only under the leadership of such good officials can the people be truly rich, and can they truly realize the wealth of the people, not the wealth of the gentry! ”
"When the people are rich, the country will be strong, and when the country is strong, our generation will be worthy of the court and the people who raised us!"
It was Mao Shilong who spoke from the Criminal Department, and he looked at the colleagues in the room with a lot of emotion, and said: "Duke Wei's latest speech focuses on the specific measures related to the development of the industry, I don't know if you have seen it?" ”
"Oh, Duke Wei's latest speech?"
Cheng Zhengji perked up, "What is the cultivation of industry, Brother Mao will tell everyone about it!" ”
Mao Shilong cleared his throat and said: "The cultivation and development of the industry mentioned by Wei Gong is to use the power of the central court to promote the accumulation of national capital with various policies and treasury funds, so as to drive the people to actively forge ahead overseas, so as to form an imperialism with the characteristics of our Ming Dynasty, and make our Ming Dynasty truly become the leader of the world." ”
Capital, overseas, imperialism with Ming characteristics, world leaders...
Most of the people in the room had never read the latest Wei Gong speech and the seventh volume of the "Wei Gong Wen Collection" that had just been published, so they were puzzled by the series of words that Mao Shilong said, and it can be said that they had never heard of it.
Seeing this, Mao Shilong told everyone about the specific policy of Wei Gong's breeding industry.
Wei Gong pointed out that it is necessary to abolish the checkpoints in various places and cultivate and develop the unified market of our Ming Dynasty. In addition, it is necessary to mobilize the state's strength to vigorously widen and repair roads and develop transportation and flood road undertakings such as shipping and postal transportation. In addition, it is necessary to vigorously develop the industrial and mining farms directly under the imperial court, and transform and expand them to form a state-owned industrial and mining system. ”
Without waiting for everyone to digest it, Mao Shilong gave an example.
This example is that after the Duke of Wei was ordered to go south, he immediately expropriated several iron yards and mines that were fought by the nobles of the Southern Capital, and introduced the Twenty-four Yamen of the Inner Court Military Bureau, the Salary Saving Division and other institutions, through the integration of these iron yards and mines, not only effectively solved the iron needs of the garrison and the government of the Southern Capital, but also greatly promoted the prosperity of the iron market in the south of the Yangtze River, and generated income for the national treasury at the same time greatly enriched the inner treasury.
“... The establishment of Jiangnan Iron and Steel Group is the best proof that the cultivation of industry is beneficial to the country, if these iron yards and industrial mines are still in the hands of those nobles, no matter how big the profits are also into the pockets of the nobles, what is the use of the country? ... I heard that Jiangnan Iron and Steel Group is cooperating with the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau to develop ironclad ships, once this ironclad ship is successfully developed, whether it is the Oriental Japanese or the Western red-haired ghost, which one dares to slap my Ming tiger beard? ...”
Mao Shilong then introduced several contents of Wei Gong's cultivation and industrial development, such as Wei Gong's advocacy of introducing some advanced technology and equipment from Westerners, not only to hire Western technicians to come to Daming, but also to send students to Western countries to study and investigate, so as to achieve mutual benefit and win-win cooperation.
"Heavy industry and light industry must go hand in hand. Heavy industry is a symbol of national strength, and light industry is a symbol of people's happiness and well-being. ”
"The Jiangnan Maritime Special Zone, founded by Wei Gong, is holding the first textile conference, which has played a great role in promoting the integration and promotion of foreign trade between China and the DPRK... In the future, there will be more such exchange meetings and exhibitions of Chinese handicrafts in the DPRK, and we will not only let businessmen from all over the DPRK participate, but also Mongolia, Korea, Wakoku, Annam, and other countries, as well as Western countries. ”
Mao Shilong paused for a moment and said affectionately: "Duke Wei said that although our Ming Dynasty is rich, with a population of up to 100 million trillions and a large number of talents, we must not be blindly arrogant, let alone work behind closed doors, we must let a hundred flowers bloom and make up for our weaknesses, so that we can always stand at the peak of the world's nations!" ”
"Wei Gongguo is far-sighted, and everything he thinks and does is beyond the reach of my generation!" Sun Bixian said emotionally.
Just when everyone was singing praises to Duke Wei, a voice came out: "Brother Mao seems to have said one thing less." ”
"Oh? Which one is Yang Wenweak referring to? Mao Shilong nodded slightly at Yang Sichang and inquired with his eyes.
Yang Sichang smiled and said: "I remember that Gonggong Wei also said in the anthology that we must strengthen the work of persuading agriculture, and we must combine farming with agriculture and animal husbandry, and establish a complete system for management. If this system can be established, I believe that it will be as useful as the establishment of heavy industry and light industry. ”
Mao Shilong was silent for a while, and said: "Yes, this system is very different from the previous policy of persuading farmers who only know how to collect taxes according to Ding and stocking, and the reason why I didn't say it is because the key to the establishment of this system is to check Ding Kou, and this is extremely difficult to do." ”
"Qing Ding is asking for the lives of those gentry, how can they agree? Which of the big and small party ministers in the DPRK and China are willing to support it? ”
Everyone is from Jinshi, how do they not know how powerful Qing Ding is.
There are only more than 60 million registered people in the Ming Dynasty, but everyone knows that the actual population is far more than this number by at least three or four times. However, these people who were not registered did not escape the register, but filled the gentry as tenants in the name of "service", and the government was helpless.
"If the country wants to be rich and strong, no matter how good the policy is, someone must do it, but if the interests of the gentry are moved, it will be difficult to achieve."
"Yes, how difficult it is to change the law since ancient times, we are all micro officials, there are no important ministers, Wei Gong is a person in the inner court, he can do local things but can't do the overall things, if he wants to prosper and prosper the country, enrich the country and enrich the people, and can't change the law, it's difficult."
"It doesn't work to change the law, we can restore it!"
Father-in-law Wei came in with a smile, "I was sick in my old age, how can I praise the new dynasty?"
