For this reason, the great director Ang Lee of later generations also made a movie "The Great Eunuch Huang An", which mainly describes the establishment of the East Factory and Huang An, for which he also won the box office champion of the year, and Ang Lee also gained fame and fortune!

Of course, that's an afterthought!

At this time, Zheng Wen was reading, and he read "Taizu Shilu", which was the book of Emperor Taizu, and he found that this Taizu Emperor Zheng Wu was definitely a great person, and he found that Emperor Taizu was definitely not a traverser like him, but a real ancient.

This Taizu Emperor Zheng Wu is a blacksmith family, is a native of Yanjing, his father and grandfather are blacksmiths, he followed his father at the age of thirteen to strike iron, has a brute force, fifteen years old parents died, only alone, but he has a pride, more friends, according to records, he still made a lot of money by striking iron, but as long as his friends have difficulties because of money, he is generous, not stingy with money, and later he was forced to join the army, and his sergeants are never stingy!

Zheng Wen thought about it, one of the reasons for Emperor Taizu's success is probably that he is generous enough, generous to the point of incredible, the meritorious scribes who started with him, after he became emperor, he received a huge report, high-ranking officials and generous lords, acres of money, and on the first day after he became emperor, he rewarded his soldiers with 1.5 million acres of fields, and he never cleaned the heroes, although there are reasons for his early death, but he has never failed his heroes This is indeed true!

Zheng Wen thought about it, this may also be one of the reasons why Emperor Taizong was able to subdue the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals everywhere and successfully ascend the throne after the early death of Emperor Taizu, although there is no lack of Emperor Taizong's wisdom and courage, but Zheng Wen still feels that this is still the credit of Emperor Taizu!

If you think about it, you will know that in the turbulent times that had just ended a year at that time, it was difficult for Emperor Taizong, who was in his twenties, to subdue the major forces in the country at once with the power in his hands, and the clan was still very rare, only a few younger brothers of Emperor Taizong, and they were still very young and did not have much strength, so there was no rebellion in the country, and Emperor Taizong successfully ascended the throne.

This is definitely the legacy of Emperor Taizu, because he has never been sorry for anyone in his life, his soldiers and heroes will be grateful to him, and it is difficult for anyone who wants to start a rebellion to encourage his soldiers, this is definitely a great emperor!

Zheng Wen felt that he could learn one thing, and that was generosity!

Therefore, in the end of Zheng Wen's life, he has rewarded his meritorious subordinates generously, and has been kind to the people of the world several times, so in the end of Zheng Wen's dynasty, Zheng Wen's reputation among the people is very high, and throughout his life, there has been no rebellion among the people, and in the next few hundred years, there are people in the people who miss him!

When Zheng Wen carefully read the "Taizu Record", he also found that he paid more attention to technology, probably because he was a blacksmith, so he attached great importance to the quality of weapons and armor, and he personally appointed Hu Yue, who was born as a craftsman, as the supervisor of the weapons superintendent, and formulated a strict punishment system, the quality of good will be rewarded, and the quality will be punished badly, so the weapons of the great cadres at that time are stronger than the princes of the Central Plains.

Most people attribute this to Emperor Taizu's love for his soldiers, but Zheng Wen from later generations didn't think so, Zheng Wen instead felt that this was the reason why Emperor Taizu attached great importance to technology!

It's a pity that for more than 300 years, the great cadres gradually gave up the system of Emperor Taizu, and the quality of weapons has been good and bad, not as good as in the Taizu years!

Zheng Wen remembered this deeply!

In Zheng Wen's future administration, combined with the situation of later generations, he gradually abolished the system of craftsmen as lowly laborers, and evaluated craftsmen, approved the hierarchy of craftsmen, and gave them higher social status and generous treatment.

But Zheng Wen and Daqian's harvest is also very rich!

In the end, many processes were invented and created, and the iron-smelting technology at that time was the best in the world, and the iron-controlling technology introduced from Daqian in Europe more than 100 years later was the iron-smelting technology improved by Zheng Wen during his reign of 20 years!

When Zheng Wen ascended the throne for 18 years, the work of horse breeding has been officially progressed, and since then, Daqian's horses have reached the peak of the feudal classical era, and the excellence of his horses has reached the peak of the world, and in later generations it has won the title of "dry horse", when the court of Jianwu 50 years counted the official horses of Daqian, the official horses on the register reached 10 million, and at the peak of the official horse breeding of Daqian, there were 20 million horses registered at the same time!

During the 30 years of Zheng Wen's reign, the rice cultivation work of the Daqian Dynasty achieved fruitful results, with a minimum yield of 600 kilograms per mu and a maximum yield of 800 kilograms, so that the rice output of the Daqian Empire reached about 800 billion jin every year, and in the past 20 years, the population of the Great Qians reached 500 million, and the grain reserves of the entire Daqian reached trillions of catties. The stored grain has reached 1.5 trillion catties, and in the 21st century, about archaeological activities, a large granary abandoned by the Daqian Empire has been discovered, and hundreds of millions of catties of grain can even be eaten.

……

Of course, that's another story.

At this time, Zheng Wen was still carefully reading the "Records of Taizu", and he found that Emperor Taizu was definitely an interesting person, that is, his contempt for Confucianism, he once said to the general in public: "Confucius is a teacher, Mencius's gentleman is a joke, and Dong Zhongshu is a god." ”

What Emperor Taizu said is not difficult to understand, and Zheng Wen's understanding of this is:

The greatness of Confucius is that he "has education without class", imparting knowledge, and his place is worthless.

From ancient times to the present, it is normal for kings to be nobler than commoners, and people are originally classed, and it is normal for people to be nobler than those who are lower than those who are superior, regardless of ancient and modern times, Chinese and foreign, absolute fairness itself does not exist.

And Dong Zhongshu's idea of "heaven and man induction" attributed natural disasters to the gains and losses of the ruler's governance, which was absurd in the eyes of Emperor Taizu, so he thought that Dong Zhongshu was a god!

When Zheng Wen saw this, he also smiled!

Zheng Wen felt that although Emperor Taizu's summary was biased, his views were reasonable.

Some people say that Chinese history is the history of the growth and decline of the entire Confucianism, and it is better to say that the history of China is the history of the poisoning of China by the entire Confucianism, and Confucianism as a whole imprisons the development of the Han people!

Therefore, Zheng Wen felt that there were some aspects of Confucianism that needed to be improved, but of course this sentence only existed in the deepest part of Zheng Wen's heart.

In the end, Zheng Wen still had some contempt for Confucianism in his heart, he was constantly reforming the country's thinking, and he once said to his sons under the eyes of many important ministers: "The imperial family has its own system, which is based on the overlord and miscellaneous!" ”

The meaning of Zheng Wen's words told the minister and his sons that the words of Confucianism should not be fully believed, it is the skin in the eyes of the ruling class, if it is useful, it will continue to be used, and if it is useless, it can be kicked away.

Moreover, Zheng Wen's attitude towards Confucianism was dispensable, and he never said a word of praise for Confucianism in any public place.

Moreover, Zheng Wen also completely reformed the imperial examination system, and permanently deleted many impractical ones, such as what scriptures are posted, because this is useless for being an official, and added related examination points such as agriculture, arithmetic, engineering, etc.

Since then, Daqian's imperial examination has tended to be more practical, and after Zheng Wen's death, it has been thoroughly practical!

And Zheng Wen was reading "The Record of Taizu" at this time, and he discovered that great people must have their legends.

The legend of Emperor Taizu is that after he was conscripted, he went home on vacation, and a Bai Fumei fell in love with Emperor Taizu, who was still a small soldier, and resolutely married Emperor Taizu, who had nothing at that time, despite the opposition of his family, and brought his own rich dowry, and gave most of the dowry to Emperor Taizu.

And she is Emperor Taizu's wife, Daqian, the first empress Guo!

This is definitely a great woman, her vision is long-term, the return on investment is definitely the most in history, and until now, the Guo family is rich and glorious.

And this legendary woman, after the death of Emperor Taizu, Emperor Taizong was able to ascend the throne smoothly, she played a huge role, she successively sent letters to many ministers, recalling the life of Emperor Taizu, so Emperor Taizong successfully ascended the throne, and Daqian has continued smoothly since then!

What Zheng Wen has learned from this old story is that you should never underestimate women, a woman always has her greatness, and many women in later generations are more powerful than men, and Zheng Wen is deeply aware of this!

But Zheng Wen still underestimated the power of outstanding women in this era, and he was also ashamed of the knowledge of the women in his harem, and his means of competing for favor were even more varied, he was painful and happy!

And these women have figured out his character thoroughly, and the sons they gave birth to have have been educated very well by them, and they have staged many succession dramas! Zheng Wen was caught off guard!

At this time, Zheng Wen didn't know his wonderful life, he only knew that he was reading the "Taizu Record", he had a deep understanding of it, and he asked his descendants to read more "Taizu Record" on the eve of his death!
