Chapter 135: Farewell Zhang

"No farming, no stability, no business, no wealth?"

Zhang Wei savored this sentence carefully, but between his eyebrows and eyes, he became more and more satisfied with Zhu Changluo, he had noticed the erosion of merchants on farmers a long time ago, but there has been no good way, but he didn't expect that now the relationship between them was broken by a teenage child. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Since ancient times, commerce has been in a suppressed position in China, and almost all the rulers of all dynasties have a consensus that suppressing the development of industry and commerce, Shinong Industry and Commerce is not the original creation of Emperor Taizu, but has existed since ancient times.

The root cause is that when farming technology is immature, the development of industry and commerce is almost shaking the foundation of a country!

Think about it, the peasants are no longer farming, where will the grain come from to feed the army, and where will the taxes come from? Once the foundation of the state apparatus is shaken, it will be a woolen thread!

Zhang Wei naturally did not know that the innovation of science and technology would liberate countless laborers, so he had been implementing policies to suppress the development of industry and commerce, such as strictly prohibiting the clan and nobles from doing business, such as reiterating the ban and prohibiting merchants from wearing silk clothes, etc., but unfortunately they had little effect.

However, while being a little frustrated, it also made Zhang Wei full of confidence in Zhu Changluo's future, since Zhu Changluo has realized this, then the next words are easy to say.

"The relationship between farmers and businessmen, it seems that His Royal Highness has more experience than the old man, and the old man naturally knows that it is not the Hongwu period now, if you want to restore its old system, isn't it different from Qi Cheng?"

It seems that he has finally put his mind at ease to Zhu Changluo, and Zhang Wei's laughter is also a little more hearty, and he is even in the mood to joke.

Qi Cheng in Zhang Wei's mouth refers to Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, that is, Emperor Jianwen's confidants, and one of the most famous things about the two of them is to propose to Emperor Jianwen to restore the Jingtian system of the Zhou system, wanting to rely on virtue and politics to influence the people, which made the whole world complain......

It is no exaggeration to say that Emperor Chengzu was able to successfully counterattack the capital division from the local area with his own strength, and these two people lost the hearts of the people in the world!

Haha smiled, but Zhang Wei's face sank again.

"His Royal Highness must have already known about the affairs of agriculture and commerce among the people, but the old man does not want to talk about agriculture and business, but wants to talk about official business!"

Zhu Changluo was slightly embarrassed, he realized that he was a little off-topic, what Zhang Wei said at the beginning was the atmosphere of Shilin, and the collusion between officials and businessmen was just a casual remark, but he was conjectured to the horizon.

But at the same time of embarrassment, he also calmed down and quietly waited for Zhang Wei to continue to explain.

He could feel that the things that could make Zhang Wei spend so much time telling him must not be so simple......

"Officials and businessmen...... Government and Business ......"

Looking at Zhu Changluo's cautious expression, Zhang Wei also sighed and said with some melancholy.

"Maybe it's more appropriate to call a merchant official now, in all dynasties, the old man has never seen the scene today, what is the result of the change in morale? Merchants have become the manipulators behind the scenes, His Royal Highness thinks why the Zhejiang Party can be so arrogant above the court, because behind them, is the support of the big businessmen of Jiangsu and Zhejiang who do not hesitate to pay for silver, and even most of these people are from the families of merchants, so to speak, Your Highness can understand? ”

What Zhang Wei said is not difficult to understand, but Zhu Changluo knows that this is the most serious thing!

"Motosuke is worried, if this continues, these businessmen will start to put their hands into the government?"

Capital intervenes in politics, this is the most terrible thing!

As a person from later generations, no one knows this better than Zhu Changluo, capital is bloody, without sympathy and overall situation, the essence of capital is interests, for the sake of interests, capitalists can sell the country, sell everything, once capital controls politics, then a country will perish, it is simply a matter of time!

Zhang Wei may not know what capital is all about, but his decades of experience in the court are enough for him to see the stakes clearly!

"Merchants are merciless in pursuit of profit! This is a well-known thing, and if the country's major politics are in the hands of this generation, it will not be far from defeat! The old man is even worried that if one day, the court and the central government are full of officials with businessmen behind them, and even the king will become a puppet! ”

Zhang Wei's mouth was full of worry, but after a while, he shook his head slightly, and regretted that he had spoken recklessly, even if there are officials from merchant families in the court now, it is too whimsical to override the monarch!

Zhu Changluo, who was familiar with this moment, fell into contemplation.

Of course, he knows that Zhang Wei's worries are not groundless, and may even become a fact, you will not see the US imperialist capitalism in later generations, and the leader is simply a game of several super conglomerates, even if he is successfully elected, he is just a marionette!

Once capital truly controls politics, the amount of energy it can exert will be endless!

"Be taught!"

Zhu Changluo finally understood what Zhang Wei wanted to say, he stood up, bowed respectfully, and spoke.

It is no exaggeration to say that today's conversation with Zhang Wei really made Zhu Changluo understand where the biggest drawback of this country is, and also understands where his future direction is.

"Your Highness understands it, only by solving this problem is the foundation of making the court clear again, the minister is old, overwhelmed, please Your Highness to the common people, the old man has left!"

Zhang Wei is also a free and easy person, seeing that Zhu Changluo already knew what he meant, he stopped staying and got up to leave.

Such a gesture made Zhu Changluo sigh.

Looking at Zhang Wei's carriage disappearing into his eyes, Zhu Changluo suddenly found that he had finally fallen into the pit dug by Zhang Wei!

The morale of the court collapsed, but the heavy task of rebuilding the morale of the court fell on his head, knowing the reason for the change of the atmosphere of the court now, Zhu Changluo also eliminated the original prejudice against the civil official group, but ...... In the end, he still had to clean up the mess of civil officials......

Sure enough, none of the ministers in the court are easy to deal with! Even a minister like Zhang Wei who cares about the world has his own partiality in his heart!

"Your Highness, don't you give those things to Gong Zhang?"

Now that Zhang Wei has stepped down as the first assistant, although Zhu Changluo is unwilling to change his words, Wang An is called "Zhang Gong" according to the convention......

"If you don't send it, he won't accept it, take it back as it is!"

Zhu Changluo let out a long sigh of relief, walked out of the pavilion, and commanded indifferently.

He wanted to send some silver and silk and other things to Zhang Wei today, otherwise, he would only have two or three carriages back to his hometown, and he would have no family wealth, which would be too ugly!

But as soon as he talked to Zhang Wei, he knew that the latter would not accept it, since Zhang Wei was as contemptuous as Zhu Zhishan, a scholar who talked about money at every turn, how could he turn around and accept the heavy gift?

After thinking about it, Zhu Changluo commanded again.

"Send someone to Yuanfu's hometown and put hundreds of acres of fertile land, and all the names are hung under Yuanfu's name! If Yuanfu asked, he would say that this was my reward for the imperial court's many years of hard work! ”

Such things as fields cannot be refused by a Chinese, not to mention that he directly bought the land, I am afraid that Zhang Wei will also be difficult to refuse!

Relieved, Zhu Changluo ordered people to go back to the city, counting, he didn't have much time, and before leaving Beijing, there were still a lot of things to arrange......

ps: The third watch, woo woo woo, I'm afraid there are only three more today, and the chapter owed will be made up tomorrow, and please forgive me, it's really too tiring......

In addition, it will be updated tomorrow or evening~ (To be continued.) )
