Chapter 521: Principal Wang came into being
The establishment of Duoyan Sanwei can be traced back to the 22nd year of Hongwu, due to the continuous victory of Lanyu, the Mongolian tribes east of the Great Xing'an Mountains were isolated and helpless, and could only return to the Ming court, and then the Ming court set up Duoyan, Taining and Fuyu Sanwei in the northeast, so it had this name. 【】
In the founding years of the Ming Dynasty, because he was beaten full of heads, so Duoyan Sanwei was very well-behaved, never caused trouble, and obeyed the orders of the Ming court awe-inspiringly.
However, in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, especially after the civil and engineering changes, seeing the gradual weakness of the Ming Dynasty, Duoyan Sanwei was also ready to move, although it would not be like the Tatar Department to enter the Kou at the age of the Kou, but if they couldn't eat a meal, they didn't mind coming to Liaodong to take a ride and loot.
Therefore, this subordinate can only be regarded as nominal, and the reason why Xie Hong knows something about this tribe is mainly because after he robbed the Jurchens last time, Duoyan Sanwei was shaken and sent an envoy to the capital, and then Wang Shouren told him about the relationship.
Moreover, according to the records of later generations, to some extent, Duoyan Sanwei can be said to be part of the Manchurian Tatars.
During the Chenghua years, the Jianzhou Jurchens who gathered together had only a population of tens of thousands, and then they were washed in the blood of the Koreans, and under normal circumstances, they could not expand more than ten times in more than a hundred years.
It was precisely because the Duoyan Sanwei was defeated by the Tatar tribe that the Jianzhou Jurchens collected their scattered tribes and were able to grow stronger, and in addition, the Duoyan Sanwei was also the predecessor of the Horqin Mongols.
Of course, the vigilance that Wang Shouren said has little to do with these things, the important thing is that the living habits of Duoyan Sanwei are also similar to those of the Jianzhou Jurchens, which are semi-nomadic and semi-agrarian, and the closer the tribe is to the south, the higher the proportion of farming.
Therefore, after being hit by hail, the heavy blow may make them take risks, especially when they learn that after the bumper harvest in Liaozhen, they must be the descendants and ancestors of jackals at the same time, and the tartars of Duoyan Sanwei have any hesitation, and they have always been their way of survival.
"Thank you Brother Bo'an for reminding me, the little brother can save it." Xie Hong nodded and said with a smile: "Ignore these trivial matters first, Brother Bo'an has been running around for a long time, it is extremely hard, and it is only right to wait for the younger brother to take care of the wind and dust for you, and then take a good rest." ”
"I'm not busy, Brother Xie Xian, do you know about Liaoyang?"
"Liaoyang? What's going on there? Xie Hong was slightly stunned.
"Chen Shiliang hanged himself, and he left a letter before he died...... Wang Shouren's expression was still very calm, and he couldn't see joy or sorrow, but Xie Hong frowned, because he didn't remember who it was for a while.
"It turned out to be the patrolman, oh, this man is decisive, but I obviously didn't plan to do anything to him?" Xie Hong spread his hands and said innocently.
Although Chen Shiliang has been trying to make trouble with him, in fact, in addition to passing some uncertain news to the capital, he is only playing the role of Jiang Gan, how can Xie Hong, Zhou Yu, hate Jiang Gan?
As for Liaoxi's non-cooperation, in fact, Xie Hong is also happy to see it come to fruition, and intends to indulge it, otherwise how can a few generals compete with him? His original plan was to use western Liaoning, northern Liaobei and other places as comparisons, so that the military and civilians in other places could see more clearly, and they would also cherish the life brought by the New Deal.
With this year's experience, when the entire Liaodong is included in the new policy system next year, there will be no resistance or obstacles. Of course, there are unforeseen circumstances, and this natural disaster is really beyond his expectations, but since there are no casualties among Chengren, the matter is not out of his control.
Therefore, Chen Shiliang has very little impression in his heart, and he has no bad feelings, just like an elephant provoked by ants, which has no effect at all.
Of course, in front of Wang Shouren, I still have to make it clear, although the other party is not the kind of pedantic nerd, there is no need to erect a cold-blooded and ruthless image to show him.
"Brother Xie Xian, don't you think this is a good opportunity?"
"Huh?" Wang Shouren seems to have made up his mind to make Xie Hong dizzy, every sentence is a highlight of the strange soldier, making people confused, even with Xie Hong's cleverness, he is confused.
"I have already read Chen Shiliang's book, and he said that the Chen family will retire completely...... He left nothing but this letter and a family member who sent his ashes home, and Liaoxi was in chaos, that is, in the near future, Liaodong and the capital were cut off. ”
"Brother Bo'an means ......" Xie Hong felt his head.
Wang Shouren said: "Yes, we can just unify the caliber to the outside world, the saying of sacrificing to the heavens is too amazing, even with the emperor's surname and the virtuous brother of the holy family, it is difficult to guarantee that there is no difference, not to mention, with the reputation of the virtuous brother you now, in fact, there is no need to add icing on the cake, unless it is ......"
"Oh, unless, Brother Bo'an, I see what you mean." This topic is not a good way, unless the brother is respectful, Xie Hong hurriedly interrupted Wang Shouren's words.
"I don't understand...... the two of them are very subtle, which makes Jiang Bin very distressed, "The merit is high, I understand, but how can this be called an opportunity?" ”
"This is a good opportunity to promote the study of physics!" Wang Shouren let out a clear whistle and said categorically: "With Brother Xie Xian's current reputation in Liaodong, it must not be difficult to unify the voice, as long as the people are tight-lipped about what they should say." And through Houdefang and the roadside society, the public opinion in the capital has also controlled most of it, so ......"
"What Brother Bo'an said is true." Xie Hong's eyes lit up, that's right, Chen Shiliang had already released the news of Liaodong in advance, and then as long as he cooperated with the news of the great harvest in Liaodong, Gewuxue would inevitably shake the capital and even the world.
If the cause is attributed to ghosts and gods, there is no other benefit to him than to increase his personal prestige, but if he uses the help of public opinion institutions, it is a great opportunity to thoroughly promote natural science.
Chen Shiliang died at the right time, everyone in Liaodong was busy fighting the disaster at this time, and no one paid attention to his movements, he did have the opportunity to release the news.
However, he died, and before he died, he still had some enlightenment, which once again brought himself an opportunity, never to benefit himself, to benefit the enemy, until death...... Could it be that this person is really the reincarnation of Jiang Gan? In addition to being excited, Xie Hong also muttered a little.
"Promoting Gewuxue is only the first step," Wang Shouren's voice was not high, but the words he said were deafening, like a thunderbolt: "Break the pattern of Confucianism for thousands of years, restore the trend of a hundred schools of thought, and raise the prestige of China, this is the time!" It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! ”
If this sentence is spread, it is enough to cause an uproar, and if the people in the Shilin hear it, they will definitely denounce the speaker as an evil demon, which can be called a great rebellion.
Xie Hong originally thought that only he had this idea, but he didn't expect that he actually heard these remarks from the mouth of the quasi-saint in front of him, and he looked at Wang Shouren in surprise, but except for the flying look, he couldn't find a trace of abnormality.
"Brother Xian, although your new policy takes into account the interests of the public, it can be called a benevolent government, and the degree of practice is also very high, but there are also limitations, and it is unimpeded in the border towns where the traditional forces are weak, and everyone is jubilant and supportive, but if it is in the heart of the Central Plains, it is bound to be difficult to implement, do you know why?"
Wang Shouren changed his words and began to solicit quotations, leading the topic to the promotion of the new deal.
"The gentry."
Of course, Xie Hong knows the reason, in the millennium of China, it is the emperor and the imperial court who nominally govern the world, but it is the gentry class who really governs the place.
It is undeniable that these people are also the cornerstone of China, maintaining the stability of the world. However, when productivity starts to increase, they act as resistance in turn.
Xie Hong's new policy can make everyone happy in the border towns, but the gentry will not think so, those who have merit and fame can be exempted from forced labor, not pay food, and have such privileges, how can they be willing to be the same as those generals?
And if a person without merit gets a land, he will not be satisfied, because the Ming Dynasty also has a saying of dedication, that is, if you attach your own land to the family of a person with merit, you will naturally not have to pay taxes.
As long as the management fee charged by the meritorious party is lower than the tax rate of the imperial court, the short-term income can be guaranteed, and as for the possibility of being forcibly seized in the future, forming land annexation, the ordinary people do not have such a long-term vision.
Therefore, if we copy the experience of Liaodong and implement the new policy in the hinterland, we will definitely run into bloodshed and lose all our money.
Moreover, the gentry are not harmless to humans and animals, even if they are not covered in thorns like Xie Hong, they are not far behind.
In times of peace, they govern the locality, pay grain and taxes, and if there is a good one, they may build bridges and pave roads for the benefit of the village; In times of war, they either recruited troops and bought horses, competed for the world, or supported troops to defend themselves, waited for the price to sell, or discerned the style, speculative and rich.
But no matter what period they are, as long as they unite, they are a force that is enough to shake the world, so they can influence the Chinese millennium.
When Taizu founded the country, the reason why there was a statement that 'the Son of Heaven and scholars rule the world together' was mostly because of this, without the support of these people, he could not unify the world, which was not only a meritorious move, but also forced by the situation.
Of course, they can see the benefits of the new agricultural tools, but how can they be willing to trade land and privileges for it? Forcibly plundering is their original surname, otherwise why would Confucianism have suppressed craftsmen for more than a thousand years?
"Yes, it is the gentry, if you force the new policy, it will definitely hurt the interests of all the gentry, although you have gained the upper hand in the court and controlled the capital. However, the implementation of the new policy and the abolition of the privileges of the gentry are also against the sky, and the difficulty is far beyond the prevention and control of hail, and if one is not careful, it is likely to cause chaos in the world and smoke everywhere......"
Wang Shouren took a long breath, exhaled word by word, and said, "Have you thought about these?" ”
"Industry and sea trade are enough to create exciting wealth...... Let some people get rich first, and then change the perception of most people...... Step by step, from slow to urgent, first do pilot projects in places with relatively open concepts, and then ......"
Although he has been busy and has no time to separate, when it comes to governance, Xie Hong also has a complete idea. Of course, it is not advisable to force it, and it will provoke the gentry of the world to fight for their lives, even if they win in the end, I am afraid that it will hurt the vitality of the Ming Dynasty.
However, he did not pay much attention to the production of land, as long as there was enough food to eat, and if he wanted to create wealth, he had to rely on industry and commerce. After the trilateral promotion of the new policy, it must be self-sufficient, and the next step is to go all out to open up.
The conditions in Nanyang are very good, as long as you occupy it and transform it into a colony based on cultivation, you will not have to worry about food supply in the future.
"As for the pilot, I already have two arrangements, one is Tianjin, and the other is Weihai......" said the rise, Xie Hong simply spread out the map, pointed to Wang Shouren and said: "Weihaiwei is a military town, as long as you follow the example of Liao Town, there is nothing to say, but Tianjin here is very demonstrative, I have appointed a competent person to go, and it should be visible in detail after the year." ”
"Wang, why bother to say profit, although your speculation on people's hearts is too utilitarian, it is also secretly in line with the world. It's just that changing the concept of the world, but not just by interests, Confucianism is a lesson from the past, if it is a merchant or Mohist, it is not necessarily a blessing in the world. ”
"Therefore, the younger brother established the college, which teaches not only the discipline of Gewu, but also many humanities academics, although the scale is still small, but it will become the most eye-catching institution in the world in the future."
Xie Hong smiled proudly, and said: "After the news of the great harvest in Liaodong is reported to the capital, various propaganda actions will also be launched, and after that, the academy is bound to reach a higher level, and the curtain of the academic battle will be officially opened." ”
"Yes, now that the harvest in Liaodong is imminent, everything is over, and there is no need for the foolish brother to stay here, so it is ......"
Is this to say goodbye? Xie Hong's heart jumped, and sure enough, the premonition came true, it was really a good and not a bad spirit, Xie Hong was a little silent, he wanted to keep it, but he couldn't think of any reason, the most difficult period in Tuntian had passed, and leaving Wang Shouren here could only be said to be a waste of talent.
However, although Wang Shouren is cold most of the time, he has provided Xie Hong with a lot of help, for him, he can be called the second teacher he has met in this era, at first hearing this news, Xie Hong is really a little difficult to accept.
"The academic war that is about to unfold in the capital will be exciting, and it will be fascinating, the foolish brother is not talented, but there are still some talents, if the virtuous brother does not give up......"
"Brother Bo'an, are you willing to go to the academy?" Xie Hong blurted out, he was really surprised today.
Wang Shouren smiled.
"Okay, great, without further ado, no, Brother Bo'an has been running around, he should rest for a few days first, and just go on the road with the messenger who went to the capital to report the news......" The joy was overflowing, this was the good news that Xie Hong had been looking forward to for a long time, the academy was the top priority in all his plans, and Tang Bohu alone could not cope with it.
And in this era, the most suitable candidate for the academy to take the helm and cultivate outstanding talents for the Ming Dynasty, besides the one in front of him, who is more?
President Wang, haha, the academic war that is about to start will definitely be very exciting, enough to be inherited for a hundred years, right? Xie Hong also began to look forward to it.
