Chapter 442: Since You Can't Resist, Then Enjoy [Third Update]

"Mingli...... Musical ......"

When Chen Ming's boat docked at Shangxiaguan Wharf, the whole Nanjing was boiling. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBecause this moment was a new beginning for Nanjing, more than a hundred years after the death of the Ming Dynasty, Nanjing returned to the center stage of China politically. Salutes and firecrackers rang out in unison, gongs and drums were noisy, and everyone cheered. The loud sound startled Chen Ding, and his little hand grabbed his father's big hand.

"Don't be afraid." Chen Ming stroked the back of his son's head with his palm and comforted: "This is welcome, don't be afraid." Go down with Daddy. "Chen Ming and Chen Ding still need to appear in public, especially Chen Ming. As for Chen Ding, who was specially brought by him, this is an obvious hint.

The ladies don't need to put on a show, the carriage has already been arranged on the dock, and they can board the carriage directly and enter the prince's mansion.

Yes, the Prince's Mansion, not the East Palace. Chen Ming did not live in the inner palace, but opened another mansion.

Although this area is the essence of the Ming Imperial Palace, if you look at the Ming Imperial Palace from the top of the Purple Mountain, you can clearly find that most of its interior are blank areas, or old and dilapidated houses, such as the Inner Palace Prisons.

The part of the Ming Imperial Palace is completely along the central axis of the palace, the noon gate, the Chengtian gate, the Fengtian Palace, the Huagai Palace, the Jinshen Palace, the Qianqing Palace, the Kunning Palace, which are all properly built, and the Fengxian Palace, the Wuying Palace, the Wenhua Palace, the Rouyi Palace, etc. are all thrifty. His duties were transferred to the three main halls.

Chen Han could not repair the entire Ming Imperial Palace, the time was too short, just the wood bricks and tiles - glazed tiles, it was difficult to prepare quickly, the amount of repair work was too huge, the cost of silver money was too huge, and the time would drag on for a long time. Therefore, Chen Han's restoration of the Ming Palace is only a face-saving job. Even the Chunhe Palace, where the prince was located, was only a simple repair, because outside the imperial city, the former Liangjiang Governor's Yamen, was opened up into a new prince's mansion.

――I don't know if the Chunhe Hall is the Prince's East Palace, but I only found the "Crown Prince's Father" in April of the 25th year of Hongwu,...... The more three days into the service of the spring and the door will cry.

Chen Ming is too different from the successive princes of Zhu Mingchao, he has to deal with a lot of official and military affairs every day, and he has heavy responsibilities, what is it to stay in the inner palace for a long time? Don't forget that there's also a Grand Governor's Palace. Therefore, the prince's mansion was set up separately, and in terms of savings, the original Liangjiang Governor's Mansion was drawn.

The East Sixth Palace and the West Sixth Palace have only repaired one palace each, and the inner garden is even more empty. The West Fifth Institute and the East Fifth Institute are in ruins.

With the arrival of Chen Ming, a new era has officially arrived.

When the summer and autumn were handed over, Chen Hui and other cadres moved from Lushan to Nanjing, and the situation of Xinwu on the eve of Zhu Ming's Northern Expedition to the Central Plains was not only fully restored, but also greatly strengthened. At the beginning, Zhu Yuanzhang did not have the southeast coast in his hands. After breaking the capital, Zhu Baba was proclaimed emperor before he sent generals to clean up Fujian and Liangguang like a wreck.

By the time the Department of Industry and Commerce, the Metropolitan Governor's Office and other departments have completely stabilized, the time has entered April. Soon, European merchant ships will arrive.

On the glazed pagoda of the Great Bao'en Temple, which was later regarded by Europeans as comparable to the Seven Wonders of the World, Chen Ming looked down on the surface of the Yangtze River, and the merchant ships shuttled non-stop, just like the Yangtze River flowing eastward. It may also be like the monks of the Great Bao'en Temple at his feet, they fled one after another during the war in Nanjing, and now they have just settled down, and they have turned back.

When Chen Ming attacked Nanjing City, the Qing army's resistance was weak, and Gao Jin, the governor of Liangjiang and the governor of Jiangsu, did not make a move on the Dabao'en Temple, even if the Qing army counterattacked later, the offensive also stopped in Zhongshan, and there was no obstacle to the Dabao'en Temple by the Qinhuai River. After the situation stabilized, the monks of Dabao'en Temple raised more than 3,000 taels of silver before and after, and Chen Min, who was sitting in Nanjing at that time, also allocated 5,000 silver dollars to repair the glazed pagoda a little.

"There are as many merchant ships on the river as crucian carp crossing the river. Why should such a thing be forbidden for the benefit of the country and the people? ”

"Is it true that the Celestial Empire is rich in products and has everything, and it is not a foreigner to have goods?"

The Ming Dynasty fell at the hands of scholars, but 'China' fell at the hands of the Manchus. Even in later generations, the same bloody Mengyuan was not hated by the Manchu Dynasty, although the 'brilliance' of Mengyuan was completely unrelated to China!

Chen Ming exhaled, don't look at Chen Han's current tariff types, the ratio is also lighter, but the gradually thriving commerce, frequent trade exchanges, and the continuous growth of domestic and foreign tariff revenues still make the tax and silver amount rise sharply from the beginning of the trough. Just past the spring of this year, the tariff statistics have exceeded 2 million silver dollars, and if we add the summer and autumn boom periods, and then count the winter, this year's tariff will definitely exceed 10 million silver dollars. It's only been two years, and it can provide Chen Han with tens of millions of silver dollars in annual income. The total annual income of Qianlong in the 30 years of the Manchu Qing Dynasty was 43 million taels [and tens of millions of stone of grain], and the annual tariff silver was 5.4 million taels, which could only be regarded as five-sixths of Chen Han's tariff revenue.

"Your Highness. According to the intelligence of the Hidden Camp of the Foundation, from the year to the present, merchants from all over the country have ordered a total of 565 steam engines, hydraulic looms, and other machinery from the British, French, and other foreigners. If you count the numbers that the dark camp has not been able to find out, I am afraid that the total number of machines will not be less than 700 units. ”

"It's not just those businesses in the supply and demand system of the Department of Industry and Commerce and the Logistics Department. There are also large textile households in the Jiangnan area. These people don't have a lot of machinery ordered individually, and it seems that they all have the idea of buying imitations. ”

"Now it has become popular to make simple Jenny machines. Carpenters everywhere are in high demand......"

A smile appeared on Chen Ming's face, and he knew that without the strong control above, the profit-seeking nature of businessmen would make them take the initiative to poke out their steps towards the machine. "Cotton prices are expected to rise again this year." As for those conservative businessmen, they will naturally be completely slapped into the bottom of the water under the impact of the new wave.

Chen Ming didn't have the kindness to care for them.

"Taishi Gong once said: The world is bustling, all for profit; The world is crowded, all for the benefit of the ......" with three points of emotion, Chen Ming said, this sentence is an unbreakable truth.

Even Confucianism, who is ashamed of words and profits, doesn't what he asks for also have a 'name'? Isn't that another kind of 'benefit'?

Zhao Yi followed Chen Ming down the glazed tower without waves, Chen Ming went home, and in the afternoon he still had to negotiate military affairs, but Zhao Yi stayed in the Qinhuai River, and Wang Huizu stayed with him.

"Brother Huan Zeng, it is true that Confucianism is misleading the country, and it is also misleading the country and messing up the government if the business power is too heavy. His Royal Highness is the prince of the Han Dynasty, with a grand prestige, inheriting the unification in the coming days, and suppressing those who dare to disobey in all directions. His Royal Highness means that the national politics of the Han Dynasty in Japan will be carried out for a long time, and the Han will share the world with the merchants! "Taoism does not exist, Confucianism does not exist, is this still China? How ridiculous is it for the prince of a dignified country to ask for equipment and care about the price of cotton?

In addition to the blood of the Han people, this Chen Han is really more 'deviant' than the Manchu Dynasty's shaved hair and easy to wear. It's just that Zhao Yi didn't dare to pop out of his mouth with a single word of this psychological sentence, he was going to lose his head.

"Brother Yun Song, Lord Zhao, the facts have changed, the times have changed, how can you hold on to the disabled and keep the shortcomings?" Wang Huizu somewhat understood Zhao Yi's thoughts, he had also experienced this process at the beginning, but he couldn't help but give in. So Wang Huizu knew that he had said goodbye to the word 'scholar' forever.

The rich and noble cannot be lewd, the poor and the lowly cannot be moved, and the mighty cannot be bent, which is called a big husband. Wang Huizu is not the eldest husband in the mouth of Old Master Meng.

"In the past, we relied on swords, guns and horses to fight for the world, but now we rely on cannons and muskets." How many times is the military expenditure of the Fu Han army that has replaced a soldier and horse more than that of the Qing army with the same number of people? Chen Han was able to achieve today's great cause with a single piece of land, not by Confucian farming, but by the iron and steel of the mines, but by allowing them to make a hundred times more guns and cannons than the Manchu Qing Dynasty in a small amount of time.

"The facts have changed, and the national system has naturally changed. In order to maintain its strong combat effectiveness, our Han army must have a high military salary, and it must have guns and artillery that are much more advanced than and more numerous than those of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. ”

"Brother Yun Song, can these be given by Confucianism?"

Confucianism can't give it, but industry and commerce can. Therefore, Wang Huizu drank a glass of wine, "Chen Han can only go to business and commerce." ”

"Don't talk about the military, just talk about civil affairs. How much silver has the court sprinkled in the past two years? Repair bridges and roads, build river embankments, dredge canals and rivers, see tax exemptions, small loans? Brother Yun Song, do you know how big the amount is?

To tell you the truth, now Chen Han doesn't pay attention to industry and commerce, and he really can't even afford the imperial court.

In that county, there are as few as a dozen officials as small as a dozen or as many as dozens; There are as few as 100 and as many as 100 people. The salary alone costs 30,000 or 40,000 yuan a year. In the future, as the length of service of these people increases, the monthly income will also increase. The officials and welfare of the officials of a province cost five or six million silver dollars a year. "That's the most basic expense.

"The Manchu Qing Dynasty paid taxes of only more than 40 million taels of silver a year. At present, the Han Dynasty encompasses half of the southern country. If the old way was used, the taxes paid that year would have been enough to pay the officials at most. And what about the army? How many places in the world are there to spend money? ”

To put it bluntly, the current Chen Han does not attach importance to industry and commerce, and they can't support it on their own. For the Chen dynasty, on one side is its own survival, on the other side is what is the rule of Confucianism, the way of Confucius and Mencius to govern the country, what choice do you say Chen Han will make?

Could it be that they would risk the chaos in the world, cut officials, cut the army, reduce the civil and military ranks, and destroy the Great Wall to implement the way of Confucius and Mencius? A big fool wouldn't do that.

"The Chen family values their own world, not some bullshit." This is what Wang Huizu himself thinks, but he will not say it either.

"Brother Huan Zeng's words are wrong. In today's troubled times, fighting for the world, leveling the Tartars, the Han Dynasty relies on the army formed by simple farmers, and relies on the hearts of the world's scholars, not market merchants! The businessmen are mercenary, incorruptible and shameless, and they are good at demagoguery and corrupting people's customs. If it is not curbed, the world will be light on agriculture and heavy on business, the people's will will be shaken, slick and introspective, simple will not exist, the world will be corrupted, and the country will not be a country. Agricultural talent is the foundation of the country! "Zhao Yi has been in the Dadu Governor's Mansion for a while, and he has also been an official in Guangxi and Yunnan, and he knows the grain output of Siam and Annam, but he did not say that he values commerce and ignores agriculture, agriculture is declining, grain production is not abundant, and there will be disasters in the world.

"There can be a Huizhou in the world, but Huizhou can't become the world." Zhao Yi's thinking still hasn't been able to get out of the old way. Surrendering Chen Han and changing the mind are two completely different concepts. In the former, Chen Han's progress is very good now, and the latter is only hehe.

Wang Huizu shook his head secretly, this Zhao Yi don't look at such a big reputation, if this brain can't turn around, his days by Chen Ming's side will not last long.

What Confucianism, what scholars? After being instilled with the concept of 'cynicism' by Chen Ming, although Wang Huizu was psychologically embarrassed, he also felt that it was really a very appropriate description. If people really follow the way of Confucius and Mencius, even if they don't die, they won't serve the alien race as an official, right? Recently, the prince was about to lift the gate platform of Quzhou Nankong, isn't it because Nankong has maintained some integrity in the Mengyuan Dynasty, and his performance is much stronger than that of Beikong. Although when it came to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, their eldest brother did not talk about the second brother.

"Brother Yun Song, you and I are both scholars, so you don't have to put gold on your face. Then where is the scholar returning to his heart, it is a knife to the neck, and it has to be lowered. "Returning the doctor to his heart, it's almost the same as making trouble for Chen Han.

Zhao Yi's face turned a little red, he was a typical person who was immediately 'persuaded' by Pang Zhenkun after being put on the neck with a knife. He felt that Wang Huizu was trying to expose his shortcomings. However, Wang Huizu didn't give him a chance to lose his temper, Wang Huizu gave himself an example, Yuan Yu gave an example, Yan Xishen, Peng Zhongrui, and Qin Dacheng gave examples, don't have too many people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. So, ah:

"Don't talk about the spirit of the scholars, we are long gone, and the ancestors are long gone."

"When the Five Chaos in the Central Plains were in full swing, Confucianism could stoop to be a thief; When the Mongols destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, although thousands of scholars died for the Song Dynasty, there were more thieves who succumbed to it; This was even more true after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs. Not to mention the two kingdoms of Liaoxia and Xia, which stood side by side with the Northern Song Dynasty. "The integrity of Confucianism has long been lost.

If the Manchu Qing Dynasty still practiced Han law and respected Confucianism, then:

"When these alien races were founded, they could use Confucianism?" It is said that Hu has no luck for a hundred years, which of the two countries in Liaoxia has not passed a hundred years? Although there were many Han literati who went to Liaoxia as officials during this period, as well as their local Han people, and even in the end, Liaoxia was basically sinicized, but the national governance of Liaoxia was still very different from the traditional Chinese law.

"The Tao of Confucius and Mencius is deeply rooted in our Han soil, and the virtue of education lasts for 2,000 years, and it cannot be changed overnight."

"Therefore, the Mongolian iron cavalry that swept through the Eight Wildernesses entered the Central Plains Huahua World less than a hundred years ago and was expelled from the customs by Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty."

"The Manchu Qing Dynasty learned the lessons of Meng Yuan, ruled the Han law, respected Confucianism, and the world was peaceful; Kangxi leveled the three feudatories, defeated the Dzungar Mongols, and ruled the chaotic officials in the middle and late periods, blindly winning the hearts of the people, and taking root in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, but also corrupting the officials. Fortunately, Yongzheng rectified the world, cut the scholars and the treasury, and the elite soldiers of the town to clean the world, and when Qianlong was the emperor, the Manchu Qing Dynasty was consolidated. If it weren't for my genius to His Royal Highness the Prince, I would have been the head of hundreds of millions of Han people for Tartar cattle and horses. Compared with the original Manchu Qing Dynasty, Wang Huizu certainly prefers the current Chen Han.

"Brother Yun Song. For the king, what respects Confucius and Confucianism, and what sages learn, are all false. Only their stability is true. Do you think that if the Manchu Tartars didn't think that respecting Confucianism and opening up a science and learning would help them stabilize the country, they would take Confucianism seriously?

The key point now is not that Chen Hanzun does not respect Confucianism, but that Confucianism cannot give the Han the necessary money and food. ”

"Zhejiang province's commercial tax last year was as high as four million silver dollars. Shanghai received nearly one million silver dollars a year. In the land of Suzhou Province, there is also a commercial tax of 2 million silver dollars after deducting Shanghai. This year this amount will only be more. ”

"Everything is fake, Jiangshan is real." It's like a strong woman, since you can't resist, then you have to endure it. And these people, represented by Wang Huizu, have turned endurance into 'enjoyment'. It's a bit like those cynics who knelt down to clear back then. "Brother Yun Song is talented, instead of being sad and sad here, why not find a way to live for another Confucian?"

Qin Dacheng, Yuan Mei and others, under the mediation of Shen Guozhen, the so-called 'Neo-Confucianism' that turned upside down have already obtained the right to compile Chinese studies textbooks for all grades of primary and secondary schools in the school, which is a 'big' victory.

If Confucianism wants to get ahead in the future, it can only work Neo-Confucianism. "Change is clear, change is strong; Change is prosperous, unchanged is decline; Change is life, and change is death. "Confucianism in the future must keep pace with the times and synthesize new knowledge. As for whether it exists in name but dies, it is up to the benevolent to see the wise and the wise to see the wise. According to Chen Ming's words, hasn't Confucianism been changing all the time? Why bother to enjoy and choose indifference?

Wang Huizu didn't know how His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had such a big discrimination against Confucianism? In private, he had secretly thought, could it be that Chen Ming was hated when he was a child? You must know that Chen Ming's cousin is a Xiucai, and Chen Ming was already sixteen years old when he joined the army, and he was not even a child.

Wang Huizu really never revealed a word to outsiders.

Confucianism is better than clinging to the defects, right?

After the Han Dynasty becomes emperor next year, the country's revenue will be reformed, and the central and local taxes will be divided, and the central and local governments will share revenue. Although the share of local revenue is not high, it also means that the central government has less revenue. If Chen Han wants to support the huge government expenditure, military expenditure, and financial expenditure in all aspects, he must go further and further on the road of industry and commerce!

If Zhao Yi can't turn his brain, he may not be able to get to next year, and he will be kicked out by the prince again.

In the Prince's Mansion.

After lunch, Chen Ming was crooked on the bed and watched Chen Ding playing with building blocks with great interest, and his half-year-old daughter was next to him, holding Chen Ming's hand with her fingers and playing happily, it seemed that Chen Ming's palm was a very, very fun toy. While breaking his hands, he also laughed from time to time.

"The people in the house are almost all the ones who should have come in. You have to take care of it. ”

As a man, Chen Ming didn't want to bother too much in the backyard, so he left all this matter to Li Xiaomei.

"You can rest assured that you can go out and do your business. The family is at ease. "Li Xiaomei has never been a cowardly woman, otherwise she would not have held Xiao Chen Ding and rushed to Xiangyang with the army to see Chen Ming's face, she has Chen Ming's letter and love, holds the power of the housekeeper in her hands, and is still the respect of the crown princess, if she can't put the warbler Yanyan in the inner courtyard, it will be a pig.

"However, how can you change other people's dramas......" Li Xiaomei said dissatisfied.

The atmosphere of Chen Han's high-level watching dramas is very strong, which is a wave that the Chen Han court itself took the initiative to set off. Li Xiaomei not only loves to watch dramas, she also loves to watch new dramas, but it's not about politics, it's just some love and love, talent and beauty. In Chen Ming's view, this is the same as the new TV series and movies of the 21st century.

It's just the content of some scenes, according to Chen Ming, it's really brain-dead.

"When you arrive at the temple, you come out to admire the moon in the middle of the night, and you don't follow a maid by your side? The rules of being a high-ranking family are fake? ”

"And the one who serves a large family by himself, works hard, works hard, sends his in-laws to the end, gives birth to a man, and finally the man is admitted to the Jinshi, and brings back a young lady, he is ashamed of himself, his hands are thick, his flesh is rough, he volunteered to be a concubine, and gave up the position of his wife, she is sick in the brain......" Chen Ming of course wants to change.

Art comes from life, and although it can be appropriately artistic, it is also necessary to talk about the facts. (To be continued.) )
