Chapter 788: Nine Characters
Zhu Youzhen sat on the throne of the Qianqing Palace, looking at the nine big characters written by Li Zhi on the chapter, sometimes groaning, sometimes pondering. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
In the past, Li Zhi's writing was not good-looking, and he asked literati to write the chapters. But Li Zhi has practiced writing traditional Chinese characters when he has nothing to do over the years, and the current characters are not ugly, these nine characters are written by Li Zhi himself. He was born as an engineer, and there is an engineer's spirit among the fonts, which makes Zhu Youzhen a little sideways.
The nine characters on the piece read: "Run the court, Juntian Fu, Ming patent." β
Zhu Youzhen carefully pondered these nine words and pondered them repeatedly.
In the past, Zhu Youjian was trapped in the palace day by day, and he could only feel Li Zhi's victory in a hundred battles in the recital, and only knew the true nature of the strong army in Tianjin Town. Occasionally, I heard Dongchang Fanzi report that Tianjin was rich, but it only stayed on one concept.
But this time he went to Tianjin and Liaodong to go around, and Zhu Youzhen understood what was happening in Li Zhi's territory. What he saw and heard along the way shocked Zhu Youzhen too much.
A civilized and prosperous town and six provinces, with a temperament that does not belong to this Chongzhen period at all, rises in the east of Beijing. If the Ming Dynasty in the twenty-first year of Chongzhen is the collapse of order and the flames of the sky, this town and six provinces are completely the other extreme, representing the best side of the human world.
Strong! All the impressions of Tianjin and Liaodong are brought together, and the final feeling for Zhu Youzhen is two words, strong, strong and indescribable.
After seeing too much of the twilight of the capital, and then looking at Li Zhi's one town and six provinces, I really felt that these were two countries.
In the past, Zhu Youzhen didn't understand why Tianjin's soldiers and horses were so strong, but now Zhu Youzhen understands: Tianjin's soldiers and horses can not only be so strong, but also stronger at any time. If Li Zhi gave the order for general mobilization, Li Zhi's one town and six provinces did not know how many troops could be pulled out.
After reading Tianjin and Liaodong, Zhu Youzhen understood that the Ming Dynasty needed to change.
If it remains unchanged, the Ming Dynasty will collapse.
The events in Henan and Shaanxi have been reminding Zhu Youzhen that the gentry of the Ming Dynasty are forcing the people at the bottom to rebel.
The gentry of the world don't know what the bottom line and shame are, they only know that their friends are selfish. Let the children of the family study for a few years, and take a test to show their talents, and then they will have the identity of bullying the people. Moreover, the current imperial examination has festered, even if the children do not succeed in the examination and cannot become famous, they can be on the list by bribing dignitaries.
The case of Qian Qianyi, the leader of Donglin, and the case of Zhang Pu, the leader of the Fushe Society, who manipulated the imperial examination, are all reminding Zhu Youzhen of how erosive the current imperial examination is, and how unbearable the so-called meritorious people are.
The most terrible thing is not that these gentry monopolize social resources, but the most terrible thing is that these gentry monopolize social resources through disorderly means, but they do not understand what order is. For these gentry, the world had no rules except power. They break the rules of society and rob all social wealth. They never make big cakes, and they don't care who maintains the cakes, they just go crazy to grab the cakes.
Such a group will undoubtedly make the cake smaller and smaller, so that the fertile land has been barren and famine for many years, and the imperial court, which nominally has a million guards, is powerless to fight against foreign enemies, and the low-brow and obedient people are forced to rise up helplessly.
The Ming Dynasty was controlled by such a group of gentlemen, and there was only one way to collapse.
In the past, Zhu Youzhen also understood that if he continued to make peace with the civil officials and gentry, there would be no future for the Ming Dynasty. But at that time, Zhu Youzhen couldn't see any other path, and Zhu Youzhen at that time seemed to be walking in a dead end without forks, knowing that there was a dead end in front of him but there was no way to escape.
But now it's different, after taking a look around the one town and six provinces of Tianjin Junwang, Zhu Youzhen suddenly found that there are other roads to go in this world. Zhu Youzhen's feeling was that Li Zhiluan slammed his hammer on a wall in a dead end, and the seemingly solid barrier collapsed, revealing a bright avenue.
As long as Zhu Youzhen is not stupid, of course he will jump onto this avenue without hesitation.
In fact, Zhu Youzhen understood that he only had this way to go. Li Zhi's one town and six provinces brought not only a way out, but also pressure to Zhu Youzhen. According to the current momentum of Tianjin's development, in a few years, ten years, if the Ming Dynasty remains unchanged, the balance between the six provinces of one town and the Ming Dynasty will not be maintained.
To put it simply, if the thieves continue to wreak havoc on the imperial court and are unable to levy it, they always ask Li Zhi to pacify, what will Zhu Youzhen do to seal Li Zhi in the future?
Prince Feng? What did the prince seal after he finished sealing?
Zhu Youzhen took a breath, stood up, and walked back and forth in the Qianqing Palace.
Yesterday, the decorators sent from Tianjin had replaced all the windows of the Qianqing Palace with glass windows. The early summer sun shone on Zhu Youzhen's body through the colorless glass, making the skin feel a slight burning sensation, making Zhu Youzhen feel very energetic.
"Running a court..."
Zhu Youzhen stood in front of the glass window, looked at the majestic palace in the Forbidden City, and said in a deep voice: "Only by setting up a court to protect the small people can we protect the interests of the small people and small landlords. Only when the duties of these small people are protected will there be people who will fertilize the fields and accumulate land resources, and only then will there be people who will build canals for irrigation, and will grain production be maintained and will not become less and less. β
Hearing the words of the Son of Heaven, Wang Chengen and Wang Dehua, who were standing behind, glanced at each other. I don't know if the light was too strong and hot after installing the glass windows, or because the words of the Son of Heaven scared the two of them, in short, the two of them were covered with fine sweat.
The Son of Heaven was still thinking, and said to the palace outside the window: "I only have Confucian students here... The manpower of the judges in this court must be provided by the king of Tianjin. β
Wang Chengen finally couldn't help it, and arched his hand and said: "Holy Lord, if all the students of Tianjin Wang's courts in this Ming Dynasty are judges, I'm afraid something is wrong..."
Zhu Youzhen turned his head to look at Wang Chengen and said, "What's wrong?" β
Wang Chengen said: "Then the power of the king of Tianjin is too great. β
Zhu Youzhen smiled and said: "Wang Chengen, you don't know, the students cultivated by the king of Tianjin County emphasize the word public morality, and they are only loyal to justice and not to individuals. Whoever asks them to uphold the code of justice, they will obey whomever they want, unlike Confucianism, who pays attention to the friendship of 'lord', 'protΓ©gΓ©' and 'same year', and is full of private feelings! β
Wang Chengen opened his mouth, feeling that something was wrong, but he couldn't say what was wrong.
Zhu Youzhen smiled, turned around and looked out the window again, and said slowly: "Juntian Fu..."
Hearing Zhu Youzhen's words, Wang Chengen and Wang Dehua knelt on the ground in a plop.
"Holy think twice! Holy thoughts! The policy of Juntian Fu must not be implemented. If this policy is implemented, the gentry of the world will inevitably be in an uproar! My Ming world will be in chaos! β
