Chapter 814: Training the predetermined prince
The Central Plains Dynasty has had a very good habit since ancient times - what is mine is mine, and yours is also mine, if you dare to say no, you can ask Lord Yama who it is!
To put it simply, it's take-it-or-leave-it-ism.
felt that the Huns' riding and archery was relatively good, so King Zhao Wuling played a Hufu riding and shooting, and felt that the music of the Qiuzi people was good, so Li Er made it his own family in a bright way.
Those who dare to say that these things do not belong to the Central Plains are usually swept into the garbage heap of history.
Regarding the "Patent Act" made by the English barbarians in the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Meng Zhaoxiang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, thought it was good, so the "Patent Act" in England became the "Da Ming Law and Patent Law".
The bigwigs in the entire court don't think it's any strange, because Confucius taught thousands of years ago: If you are a threesome, you must have my teacher; Choose those who are good and follow them, and choose those who are not good and change them.
To sum up, just bring the good things, throw the bad ones aside, don't be stupid and pull everything to your own home.
The bigwigs of the six major yamen, the cabinet, the household department, the criminal department, the Ministry of Industry, the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Officials, after losing countless hairs and spraying countless spit stars with the officials above the court, the "Da Ming Law and Patent Law" was finally released.
According to the provisions of the "Patent Law", as long as you hold the household registration of the Ming Dynasty, you can go to the local government or state government to report the patent information after you have made something new, and after the report, the patent will be owned by the patent holder and will be valid for 30 years.
Of course, the "Daming Law and Patent Law" only protects the people who hold the household registration of the Ming Dynasty to report, and the patent filing that does not hold the household registration of the Ming people is not supported.
Emperor Chongzhen approved a "may" after reading the draft outline of the "Patent Law", which means that the "Patent Law" officially came into effect.
It doesn't matter if the people of Daming are here, anyway, the current Daming is almost the same every day, and the "Traffic Law" is even too excessive to even stipulate how the people should walk.
Only the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Officials began to have headaches.
The headache of the Ministry of Officials is to send small officials responsible for patent registration and filing to various states and governments, which means that the Ministry of Officials has a large amount of expenditure, and next year they have to find Wu Lao to file an application, and at the same time, they must also erase the deficit caused by the sudden increase in small officials this year.
The headache of the Ministry of Industry is that because the "Patent Law" has just begun to be implemented, the number of registered patents in various places is simply too large to count, and many previous things have been applied for, and it is not so easy to do a good job of screening.
Emperor Chongzhen, who ran to Nanjing with his two little wives, naturally didn't care about these - didn't the Ming Dynasty give these people a salary to let them work?
If you don't let them work, do you want to let yourself learn from your ancestor Zhu Yuanzhang and pick up everything and do it yourself?
I'm a ruthless person, not a werewolf, so I don't need to work so hard!
From Quanzhou all the way to Nanjing, Emperor Chongzhen stopped and stopped all the way, and almost every state capital he passed through had to stop to see the lives of the local people, as well as to see the records of Jinyiwei for local officials.
Zhu Cihong finally understood why Emperor Chongzhen could fill the world, but he was not worried that such a huge empire would have problems.
The root of this lies in the will of the people.
Unlike other princes and princes who grew up in the deep palace in history, Zhu Cihong, who had long been distorted by Emperor Chongzhen, had a similar view of the people's hearts as Emperor Chongzhen.
Children can run on the street with confidence, without worrying about being caught by the abductors to cut and harvest, when they go home, there can always be an egg or one or two slices of meat in the bowl, and the older children basically do not need to spend money at home after entering the school, which firmly grasps the hearts of the people, even if there are still some people who are not well fed and clothed.
For the people of the Ming Dynasty, it is not a big deal that they are not well fed and clothed, as long as the family can survive, and the children can study, they can have the opportunity to get ahead in the future, that is, the Holy Son of Heaven will benefit the world!
So from time to time, Zhu Cihong doesn't feel strange when he sees a certain state capital busy demolishing the city wall.
Emperor Chongzhen also liked to see such a busy scene, regardless of whether the common people were busy cultivating or tearing down the city wall, such a scene was always not enough, especially after watching the barbarians for several months.
For Emperor Chongzhen, the stability of the people means that the society is stable, and he does not have to worry about hanging on the old crooked neck tree in the coal mountain one day, although the tree has been cut down.
And this journey is not only a process of touring the world, but also a journey to instill the concept of the world and the people in Zhu Cihong.
After all, after selling the eldest son Zhu Cixiao and the third child Zhu Ciyi, only Zhu Cihong was left as the candidate for the crown prince, and Zhu Cihong's previous performance was also good, which met Emperor Chongzhen's expectations for the crown prince.
Pointing to the "Patent Law" in front of Zhu Cihong, Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile: "Tell me, if there is no such thing, what problems will arise?" ”
Zhu Cihong understood that this was Emperor Chongzhen's examination for himself, and only after pondering for a while did he speak: "Father Qiqi, if there is no "Patent Law", the local government will often act as it wishes when facing patent disputes, just like what was recorded in the previous files, favoritism is inevitable, but some officials favor the scholars, and a few officials favor the people.
Whether it is biased in favor of the reader or the common people, it is actually not a good thing, at least it will dampen the enthusiasm of others to ponder new inventions. ”
Emperor Chongzhen nodded with a smile, and then asked, "What about Miao Haicheng?" And what to do? ”
Zhu Cihong knows that the meat drama is coming - the previous question is just foreshadowing, and this question is the real key.
Because Miao Haicheng's behavior is really not very favorable - if he is partial to the three businessmen, then why should he let the three businessmen compensate Jiang Xinlong? You must know that 5,000 taels of silver is definitely not a small amount, and Jiang Xinlong's so-called 100,000 million is more nonsense.
If he was partial to Jiang Xinlong, but in the actual disposal process, he made peace with the mud, and raised it high for the three businessmen to pirate Jiang Xinlong's design, and then gently put it down.
Zhu Cihong remembered that Emperor Chongzhen taught himself and his eldest brother not to draw conclusions about a person easily, but to listen to his words, observe his past, and observe his deeds, otherwise he would be easily misled by the wrong information in front of him, so as to draw wrong judgments.
After pondering carefully for a long time, Zhu Cihong said: "Father, the sons and daughters think that Miao Haicheng is at fault, but it is enough to reprimand or punish him, and he should not be too harsh." ”
Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said, "Let's talk about it carefully." ”
Zhu Cihong said: "As the so-called law does not prohibit it, it is okay, the "Patent Law" was issued after this case, not before this case, and Miao Haicheng's fault does not apply to the "Patent Law", which is one of them.
Second, the textile machines designed by Jiang Xinlong are priced at fifty taels each, which is indeed not affordable by ordinary people.
Whether it was Erchen who traveled with his eldest brother before, or came all the way from Quanzhou this time, he had noticed that small families may save three or five taels of silver a year, and most of them are only seven or eight taels, and a textile machine costs fifty taels of silver, which is a ten-year savings for many people.
Although the price of the three merchants is full of thirty taels, it is nearly half lower than Jiang Xinlong's price, although it is said to suppress Jiang Xinlong's textile machine, but it gives ordinary people hope to buy it.
From this point of view, as a seven-grade pro-people official, Miao Haicheng is undoubtedly qualified, at least he is also thinking about the people.
Third, judging from Jin Yiwei's usual records, Miao Haicheng did not have any illegal acts in office, let alone received any benefits in this case.
Combined with these three reasons, Erchen thought that it would be enough to reprimand or punish Miao Haicheng, and if he dismissed the official because of this, it would be a bit overkill. ”
Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said, "Very good, it looks like you have grown up, and you are no longer the stupid boy who followed your eldest brother's ass and messed around."
Remember, things in this world are not black and white, nor are they completely fair and strict, and the so-called gentleman's country is just an ideal society imagined by literati.
Just like Miao Haicheng, he naturally has to bear the blame for his mistakes, but his mistakes are far from being too big to lose his official position and be dismissed, on the contrary, as long as such a person is cultivated, he can be reused in the future. ”
After pondering for a long time, Emperor Chongzhen continued: "Get ready to prepare, after returning to the capital, you should also open a mansion and build a government, I will let people choose a place for you, what talent you have, show it to your heart's content."
I'm not afraid that you have the ability, but what I'm afraid of is that you don't have the ability, and I will give you a chance to prove that you will be a qualified prince and a qualified heir.
Otherwise, I will not make you the crown prince, and you should not be resentful, I cannot let this great country fall in the hands of an incompetent prince.
If, what I said is if, when you ascend the throne in the future, you must also remember that it is a good thing for the prince to have the ability, and the country and the society are not a matter of one family, the prince must have the ability to pick up the burden of the country, otherwise after a hundred years, you will not even be able to enjoy blood and food. ”
Zhu Cihong raised his head in some astonishment and looked at Emperor Chongzhen.
Emperor Chongzhen smiled: "What? Surprised, isn't it? ”
got up and walked to the door of the palace, and the figure of Emperor Chongzhen was covered with a layer of glow: "Look, look at these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, no one will give you an inch, it was the ancestors who overcame thorns and thorns to beat it, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is an inch of mountains and rivers and an inch of blood."
The Chu people and Yue people who used to grow here have now become Han people, and how many generations has history changed? From Xia to Shang, from Shang to Zhou, to the Qin and Han Kingdoms, and even to the Ming Dynasty, generations of people are like passers-by, and the only thing that remains unchanged is these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
It must not be defeated in our hands, let alone destroyed in the hands of foreign races, several times in history Shenzhou Lu Shen, you should know it, and you also know the saying of the two-legged sheep.
I did what an emperor should do, this country was not defeated in my hands, but I expanded the land for this country for thousands of miles, and raised the prestige of the country overseas.
But I'm afraid.
I don't know how to choose a suitable heir, and the methods of choosing heirs in all dynasties, including my Ming ancestral system, are not enough for my reference.
Remember, the so-called ancestral system is actually not a big deal, it is just an excuse used by those bastards to tie your hands and feet so that you can act according to their will.
So I don't care about the ancestral system, what I care about is whether I can choose a suitable heir for this country, an heir who can cherish the people and let the Ming Dynasty continue to be famous all over the world.
Now, you have this opportunity to show your talents and show me that you are the right one, and don't let me down.
In the same way, I hope that in the future you will also tell your children what I have said, and pass it on from generation to generation. ”
Zhu Cihong suddenly became a little choked.
Zhu Cihong could hear that Emperor Chongzhen's words were from the bottom of his heart, and his father's love for this land was absolutely without a trace of water.
After taking a deep breath, Zhu Cihong said in a deep voice: "Erchen will definitely not live up to his father's expectations!" ”
Emperor Chongzhen smiled at this time: "Go, while there is still time to play, accompany your imperial sister to take a good walk in this Jinling City, and when you return to the capital, you will no longer have time to play like now." ”
After letting Zhu Cihong get out, Emperor Chongzhen returned to the main hall and pondered.
Whether your choice is right or wrong is really hard to say, because there are so few materials to refer to.
Whether it is the old Zhu family's choice of Lichang, or the wolf-style selection of the prince chosen by the Lao Li family, or the Lixian chosen by the old Liu family, or even the edict system of Jiannu later, in fact, there is not much reference value.
Thankfully, I still have plenty of time.
His physical condition is very good, even if he can't compare to Jiannu's dog things that live as long as Wang Ba, at least he can live for a few more decades, and there is still time to slowly train the prince, or replace the prince.
When he arrived in Jinling, he didn't go to the Qinhuai River to wave around, Emperor Chongzhen had some regrets, although Emperor Chongzhen was not interested in those famous prostitutes on the Qinhuai River, but the yearning for the land of fireworks was a gene buried deep in a man's bones, and it had nothing to do with status and whether the wife at home was beautiful.
However, when Concubine Yi Gui pulled Jiang Ling'er to change into a tulle dance dress and dance, Emperor Chongzhen left Qin Huaihe behind.
No matter how beautiful Qinhuaihe's girls are, can they compare to these in their own family? Are you kidding!
