Zhu Youxiao laughed and said, "I know that you have a good relationship with him, so you don't need to pretend to be jealous here." However, he was supposed to be faithful. ”

Wei Zhongxian immediately said: "At the age of thirty, the Holy Admiral selected him into the cabinet to oversee the soldiers and horses of the whole country, of course he should be loyal. Just like a slave and maid, who has such trust from the saints, if she dares to do anything that is not faithful, she will definitely be reviled by the whole world. ”

Zhu Youxiao smiled again: "I also know that the factory ministers are loyal, you don't need to show it, I also understand it in my heart." Let's go, let's go to the Armory, I'm going to concentrate on the experiment. ”

In the days that followed, Zhu Youxiao really began to bury his head in experiments. The new textbook is being revised by Ye Xianggao, and the revised chapters are all submitted to Zhu Youxiao for review and approval. Prepare for the new style of school to be used nationwide in the spring of the fifth year of the Apocalypse.

And the debate over widow remarriage and chastity archway is still ongoing, looking at this posture, five years before the apocalypse, the pro-remarriage faction is afraid that it will still not be able to gain the upper hand, but after Wang Chengen's report, Zhu Youxiao didn't care, let them quarrel first, and the new point of view obviously cannot be accepted by most people so easily. Anyway, the holy decree has been promulgated, and if the widow's remarriage is obstructed, she can beat the drum and shout injustice by herself (this possibility is too small), or the Jinyi Guard inspectors can directly sue the local government, and the obstructor will be arrested and beaten down with a board, and a fine of dozens of yuan will be given, and she will naturally be obedient obediently.

As for the issue of the distribution of the chastity archway, it is simpler, all the chastity arches must be approved by the Department of General Administration, and the Jinyi Wei verifies it, which cuts off the opportunity for local officials to collude in committing crimes.

The work of the Guards recruits is also being carried out in an orderly manner, and the Houjin has now retreated to a small area of Liaoshen, constantly sending envoys to ask for peace with the Ming Dynasty, and even willing to reclaim the title of vassal, retreating beyond the border wall, only hoping that the imperial court can give rice and grain for relocation.

The cabinet came to ask the emperor, and Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "Tell them that the same mistake will not be made again by the Ming Dynasty, unless the slave chieftains bind themselves, disband the army, hand over their weapons, and let the guards take over Liaoshen." Otherwise, I'll call it back. ”

How could Nurhachi be willing to tie himself up, let alone disband his army and surrender his weapons? Seeing that the method of deceiving the grain did not work, the oppression of the Han people was further aggravated, so that more Han people fled to southern Liaoning through the help of Jinyiwei.

As for Huang Kezhang, he has just come to the South China Sea. He will be a senior member of the Jingluo Mansion on the island of Taiwan, first familiarize himself with the situation of the naval forces in the south, and prepare for the restructuring of the navy.

And Sun Chengzong has gone to Xuanfu Town to take up the post of Governor of Xuanda Shanxi and Shaanxi Military Affairs.

The revision of the almanac, which was presided over by Xu Guangqi, has also entered the final stage of examination and should be completed five years before the Apocalypse.

Zhu Youxiao's arrival has indeed made some progress in the research of the Ordnance Bureau. It's not because he understands, but in fact, his understanding of some things is now far inferior to that of a student or a craftsman who specializes in research. But he can't stand the advanced things he learned in his previous life, although he is not proficient in a certain item, but he knows the direction of development of things, so occasionally make a suggestion, which is a suggestion. From the three of Sun Yuanhua to ordinary craftsmen in the Weapons Bureau, they all admired His Majesty the Emperor so much. There are already rumors in the Weapons Bureau that the emperor is a wise man from the sky, who knows everything and knows everything.

Yes, at this time, "Water Margin" had already been written, and it was widely circulated, and many people had heard of Mr. Storyteller's name. Although the emperor should of course be the stars in the sky and descend to earth, but the current emperor His Majesty is so smart that it can only be explained by using wisdom and stars to descend to earth.

After Zhu Youxiao heard the report, he didn't care much, but he only knew about the fact that "Water Margin" had been written for more than 200 years. In his previous life, he had watched "Water Margin", and the actions of the heroes and heroes in it made him enthusiastic, and he couldn't wait to applaud loudly. It wasn't until Zhu Xiaotian talked to him once that he had some other opinions about the heroes in "Water Margin".

At that time, Zhu Xiaotian said to him like this: "For the characters in the Water Margin, you have to look at it dialectically, for example, Song Jiang said in the anti-poem that if he has to hold a grudge when he is young, blood stains the mouth of the Xunyang River." If he wants revenge, he will commit a massacre, and the common people have a grudge against him? Why do you want blood to stain the mouth of the Xunyang River. ”

In order to earn Qin Ming to go up the mountain, Song Jiang designed to pretend to be Qin Ming and killed hundreds of people outside Qingzhou City, set fire to the house and framed Qin Ming, Qin Ming's wife and children were all killed by the government, and they had no choice but to submit to it. Is this what heroes are supposed to do? Which of these things can be called the work of a good man? ”

At that time, Zhu Xiaoqi asked rhetorically: "Song Jiang is indeed not very good, but aren't people like Wu Song, Li Kui, and Lu Zhishen all good men?" ”

Zhu Xiaotian said with a smile: "Take a closer look, do they indiscriminately kill innocents?" Does Wu Song's entire family deserve to die? Do all the people killed when Li Kui robbed the Dharma Field deserve to die? If Lu Zhishen hadn't killed innocents indiscriminately, what would he have done with the words left behind when he passed away? There is a good saying, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, Song Jiang is hypocritical and insidious and vicious, and the means are despicable, how many good people will be under such people, you can imagine it. ”

"We Chinese often have a strange idea that if life is unsatisfactory and the government is corrupt, we will think that the emperor and ministers are good, and the bad ones are the minor officials below. I think the emperor and ministers should like this kind of thinking, but the fact is definitely not the case, if the emperor and the ministers are good, then the officials below are not bad. ”

It is precisely because of Zhu Xiaotian's words that Zhu Youxiao has always wanted to be a good emperor and manage the ministers well, so that after the emperor and the ministers are not bad people, the officials below will not be outrageously bad. At least judging from the reflections of Jinyiwei, Dongchang, the Independent Commission Against Corruption, and the Economic Investigation Bureau, when he, the emperor, was in power, the situation of corruption and favoritism among officials was at least much better than that of his grandfather Emperor Wanli during his reign.

What he thinks about now is that everyone in later generations will have an appreciative attitude towards the Water Margin heroes, and there are few people who have such an opinion as Zhu Xiaotian, so the current people should be similar. So can we launch a big campaign to correctly understand the heroes of the Water Margin?

Through this campaign, first, we can make everyone aware of how to look at problems dialectically, rather than following the crowd. Second, it can dissolve the anger in people's hearts and make this society more harmonious. Third, it can arouse everyone's attention to the historical facts of the Song Dynasty, promote the study of the history of the Song Dynasty, and then go to the study of the history of various dynasties, and leave detailed historical materials for future generations.
