After listening to Zhu Jishi's reasoning, Zheng Hong, a vulgar man, still shook his head vigorously, indicating that he didn't understand. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoOh, I should pretend I don't understand! He is the one who can pretend to be stupid in the Ming court, and he is the richest person besides Emperor Zhu! The Yanping Consortium, one of the four major consortia of the Ming Dynasty (the smallest one), was created by him. Unlike the other three major consortia, which are large in scale and have a wide range of businesses, the Yanping Consortium has been mining honestly for 30 years. It is now the largest mining group in Greater China, with a net profit of more than 200 million yuan last year. How could someone who could create such a big consortium, with the rank of marshal and the title of prince (although King Yanping is a two-character king, but it is the rank of a prince), how can they not understand what Zhu Jishi means?

Looking at the performance of this old fox, Zhu Jishi could only smile bitterly and shake his head. He continued: "Over the years, we have actually been following the path of constitutionalism, and there is no difference between the current Ming constitutionalism and many countries where the king is in the law and the law is the king. ”

Zhu Jishi is well aware of the truth of gradual reform. Even if you take this wrong constitutional road, you can only take it step by step, and you want to put it in place in one step. It is a dream that the country will become a constitutional state where "the king is under the law, and the law is under the law"! It will only cause the king's own authority to be lost, but it will not be able to promote various reforms - if Zhu Jishi has engaged in "law from below" from the beginning, then it is the scholar class that formulates the law, although their great principles are similar to those of the king under the law, but also to restrain the king ~ one ~ this ~ read ~ novel ybdu. The king, the king is under the ceremony, but this is also an ideal, and it is no different from the ideal of the Legalists. If it is really implemented, it must still be a set of benefit distribution.

But the Confucian scholars arrived at the end of the Qing Dynasty. It's already a completely lifeless class. Most people are rigid in their thinking. There will only be some eight-strand articles that have no practical value. The pursuit is to take the imperial examination high school so that he can be the parents of Ming. There are only a handful of people like Zuo Zongtang who have practical talents. In fact, Zuo Zongtang's practical focus is just the same as that of the imperial division, and it is good to engage in power struggles, and he also has a certain amount of insight in military strategy. If you don't become an official and don't rebel, you can only collect rent in the countryside and eat soft rice (Zuo Zongtang is a son-in-law).

In a positive society, the elite class cannot take being a civil official as the highest ideal, and they are all people who want to be officials. So Zhu Jishi didn't think about really sharing the world with the scholars at all. After seizing power, he vigorously fostered the merchant class and new intellectuals. Moreover, he used the king's power in law to implement constitutional government step by step.

After nearly 30 years of hard work, a pluralistic upper class of society was finally established in China, including the bourgeoisie, the new intellectuals, the aristocracy, the military officers, and of course, the traditional gentry and landlords. This upper class is energetic, and it can also lead the whole society forward, and it is possible for the Ming Empire to share the world with such an upper society. At the same time, the Ming Empire also established a constitutional system of real monarchy, that is, a constitution in which the king promulgated the constitution and laws. On this basis, the implementation of the king under the law is a matter of course.

"However, my Ming Dynasty is not the same as the dynasties of the Westerners who practice the king under the law, and the Ming Dynasty is not the kind of dynasty that is constrained by the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie because of its weakness."

Zhu Jishi paused for a moment, and then said: "I, the Zhu Ming Dynasty, itself controls the largest consortium in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, there are people who are prosperous, and it is the number one powerful dynasty in the world. I want to be the king under the law. It is to keep the Zhu Ming Dynasty strong for a longer time! ”

Zhu Jishi looked at the crown prince Zhu Guoxiong, "Emperor, do you understand what it means to be a father?" ”

"The son understands that his father wants to restrain the king and make a big deal about the royal family."

Zhu Jishi nodded, "The royal family is not only my descendants, but also your descendants. Only when the king is under the law can they really prosper. And a royal family with strong strength in all aspects is the foundation of my Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations. ”

"Sons remember the teachings of their father."

"That's very good." Zhu Jishi said, "Emperor, I have a large number of children, there are already one hundred and fifty-two!" They are your brothers and sisters and the most you can rely on. Although I have restrained your power under the law, I have given them the opportunity to use their talents to establish their own power. ”

"Erchen understands." Zhu Guoxiong replied respectfully. "Erchen will definitely take care of them in the future."

"There is no need to ...... like this," Zhu Jishi waved his hand, "I have given these children the best education, the Royal Education Foundation will cover their tuition, and the universities under the Royal Education Fund will also provide them with some convenience (the back door for admission, but most of Emperor Zhu's children are quite good at reading). When they graduate, let them go ahead and do it first. There is no need to give them any privileges, especially the prince, just give a marquis. ”

Zhu Jishi's Ming Dynasty was a bit of a problem with indiscriminate titles. The number of nobles was very large, but the pensions, mansions, and fields were limited. It is true that a marquis does not have much interest, that is, the life of an upper-middle family. And the number of marquis in Yingtianfu, Shanghai Mansion and Guangzhou Mansion is also quite large, which is not particularly noble, and he can still go out to do things. If the princes were given the title of princes, it would be difficult for them to start from the middle and lower levels so that they could slowly accumulate work experience. It is difficult for people who do not understand the middle and lower classes to achieve results in high positions.

"Don't make all my sons officials, even if you join the army and politics, you must start from the bottom like Guoguang, that is, you must start from the bottom in business, doctors, lawyers, and teachers."

Zuo Zongtang and Zheng Hong both nodded slightly, in terms of arranging the future of their children, Zhu Jishi did surpass the kings of previous dynasties. He really wants his descendants to do business instead of enjoying happiness. And I also know that the career starts from the bottom, and you can't reach the sky in one step. Of course, the royal children must be more likely to get ahead than ordinary people......

"I also intend to change the royal foundation into a royal foundation, and the proceeds of the foundation will be used to subsidize the expenses of the royal family, and the rest will be used for the education and entrepreneurial support of the members of the royal family." Zhu Jishi continued to make arrangements.

The current royal consortium is getting bigger and bigger, but the business is still very good, although there are some big company diseases, but because of the existence of the Royal Research Center, the birthplace of high-tech and innovative enterprises. and became a shareholder in many fast-growing scientific research enterprises. For example, 30% of the shares of Zhongcheng Electric Co., Ltd., founded by Zheng Zhongcheng and his assistants, belong to the royal consortium, and Zhu Yisha's Isha Pharmaceutical has also received investment from the royal consortium. It has even attracted many foreign scientists to start a business in Daming, which is too conducive to scientists to start a business compared to this model of large-scale research centers and venture capital. However, Zhu Jishi does not plan to distribute the shares of this wealthy consortium to his children and grandchildren, but to set up a special foundation.

"I have many children, and they will multiply to tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, in the future. If, like the former Ming Dynasty, hundreds of thousands of people just sit and eat, even the gold and silver mountains will be emptied. If my descendants all want to be officials, the civil and military of the Manchu Dynasty will all be surnamed Zhu. Fortunately, it is now a country founded on industry and commerce, and there are many opportunities, and it is not limited to being an official and in politics. And the essence of the king of the westerners under the law is also the co-rule of the great merchants, the great workers, the great farmers and the great scholars.

And I don't give too many benefits to my children and grandchildren, but let them receive a good education, just to let them work hard to become the best among them, not only to make a career in Daming, but also to create a career in the entire Greater China system and even internationally. At the same time, they also have to marry the daughters of local consortia and wealthy families to unite with them. And the royal daughters should also marry the elites of my Ming Dynasty in all aspects as much as possible. Finally, with the royal blood as the link, the national industrial and commercial consortium and the famous and wealthy families are united into a whole. In the future, all political and business groups should have royal blood, and elites in all aspects should all be related to my Ming royal family. In this way, my dynasty can be as safe as a rock. ”

Hearing this, Zuo Zongtang and Zheng Hong glanced at each other, and thought, where does Emperor Zhu want the king to be under the law, obviously he wants all aspects of Wuhua Zhuxia to be under the control of the royal family...... (To be continued......)
