Chapter 423: Only Expansion Is in the Best Interest of the Empire (Part 2)

Guo Yunhou doesn't understand where Li Mingrui got his confidence to be sure that Qian Qianyi will have a very miserable end, at least he can't see any bad ending for Qian Qianyi now, even if the crown prince of Java killed the people of Daming this time, didn't His Majesty still give Qian Qianyi a chance to save his dignity and reputation despite Long Yan's anger.

Therefore, in Guo Yunhou's view, I am afraid that the current saint is still a saint who is still a saint who is humble to this money.

But in fact, Zhu Youxiao is also quite helpless now, he wants to keep a certain amount of Qingliu officials to support the basic balance of the Ming Dynasty's rule, but he doesn't want to keep Qian Qianyi, he even wants to change an official with enough personality charm and responsibility to become the leader of the old school, and then become a banner of Ming officials in the spiritual world.

However, since Qian Qianyi was the first assistant of the cabinet and so frankly admitted his sins, and Zhu Youxiao did not want to hurt the hearts of other upright ministers of the old school because he was too strict with Qian Qianyi, he also gave Qian Qianyi a chance, a chance for him to redeem his position as the first assistant, so he asked him to personally dispose of the crown prince of Java.

But what Zhu Youxiao didn't expect was that Qian Qianyi's performance once again impressed him, he didn't expect that Qian Qianyi not only really personally beheaded the crown prince of Java, but also played a long time, and made a stirring speech in front of the scholars and people in the capital, and was praised by countless scholars and people, and even a certain newspaper that had been criticizing him too flattering and criticized him also praised the cabinet head and assistant for the first time, and other newspapers and periodicals also hyped up this Qian Qianyi.

I don't know if Qian Qianyi also has his own tongue in the Daming media industry, anyway, now Zhu Youxiao can't say anything about Qian Qianyi.

And Qian Qianyi has now changed his former image of being submissive, and has begun to clearly put forward his governing philosophy, and the core content of his governing philosophy is to prohibit officials from doing business!

Zhu Youxiao was very pleased, as a ruler of the center of the empire, it is undoubtedly a good thing to have his own political goal, not to mention that this political goal does not disgust him, and it also seems to have a bit of social practicality.

However, when Qian Qianyi, the first assistant of the cabinet, did not act, it still caused the dissatisfaction of Li Mingrui and Guo Yunhou and other reformers, and now he has begun to act to cause more dissatisfaction among these reformers, and even further intensified the struggle between the two factions. But Zhu Youxiao didn't know how to avoid the problem of the capital empire.

Because there is no way to come up with better solutions to these problems even today, Zhu Youxiao can foresee the emergence of these problems, but he cannot accurately propose solutions to these problems.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao can only strike a balance between the two factions, and in order to protect the basic rights and interests of the people at the bottom as much as possible and to intensify new social contradictions in addition to development and expansion, he can only cautiously deal with the political concepts put forward by the two factions of political forces.

This made Zhu Youxiao very distressed, and now the emperor is not doing questions that he already knows the answers, but starting to do questions without answers.

Perhaps the only way to deal with it now is to do what you think is the right thing to do to do your best.

This is Zhu Youxiao's current thinking.

Zhu Youxiao was originally just a doctor who saved lives and helped the wounded, and the greatest thing was to save a person's life, but he didn't know how to guide and save a person's soul.

And now, due to the confusion and contradiction of his own ideological concepts, two ideological extremes have emerged in the entire Ming Dynasty, and two political forces of the reformists and the conservatives have emerged.

Even outside of politics, the entire Ming ideological and cultural strata is also full of flowers, and there is no one that can be called the absolute mainstream, and the entire Ming ideological circle is filled with all kinds of conservative, radical, new and old ideological upsurge.

Since the late Ming Dynasty, the ideological emancipation movement has been further fermented after the injection of natural science and the concept of the nation-state.

Not only the controversy between the previous study of mind and science and the various academic ideas derived from them, but also the emergence of various new currents of thought such as egalitarianism, egalitarianism, and natural selection.

A large number of literary societies and other academic societies that had disappeared due to the eradication of the Restoration Society and other societies sprung up like mushrooms, and some new genres began to emerge one after another.

There are even people who directly advocate the abandonment of aggravated classical Chinese, so that the so-called vernacular literary movement can appear in advance, and of course there are many opponents.

All in all, at this time, the ideological and academic circles of the Ming Dynasty were scattered, especially the social sciences, natural sciences can still be studied according to the needs of the country, but the social sciences are all kinds of research, and the science of feng shui and tomb robbery has also begun to be very popular.

Of course, there are also forward-looking people who are beginning to worry about the living conditions of urban workers and how to protect their rights.

Some began to focus their wisdom on why the wealth of the Ming Dynasty has increased innumerable, but many people are still enduring fatigue and poverty, and then through the analysis of the transaction to the analysis of the entire country's macroeconomy, and even someone has directly written to Zhu Youxiao, saying that if the inevitable measures are not taken, in the future, the Ming Dynasty is likely to have a large number of people without work to do, and a large number of shops and workshops are closed down (that is, the economic crisis).

Helplessly, these far-sighted geniuses of the Ming Dynasty still don't know that their Ming Emperor His Majesty Zhu Youxiao is actually "incompetent" in this regard.

The current Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao could not give his people an accurate ideological orientation, so he could only let it develop, and could only protect the interests of the entire Ming Dynasty as much as possible, and could only safeguard the rights and interests of the Ming people as much as possible, such as implementing an eight-hour working day and opening various medical welfare systems.

Even Gong Yonggu complained that because of His Majesty's various so-called policies to protect the rights and interests of workers, the Royal Industries Company was unable to further reduce production costs and maximize its productivity.

But this can't be helped, Zhu Youxiao is not only the biggest capitalist of the empire but also the emperor of the entire Ming Dynasty, he can't care about the life and death of ordinary people.

However, Zhu Youxiao can't do fraternity, for people from other countries, he can only exploit without scrutiny, as long as he earns more wealth externally, it will not cause any intensification of social class contradictions, and it will be beneficial to all strata of the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao is more inclined to expand externally and extend his dirty capital evil hand outside the country.
