Chapter 700 Convincing (Oops, 700 chapters, by the way, ask for a monthly pass)
"The cabinet, the sharp weapon of the country, cannot be shown. Why don't you hand over the production of new ordnance to the Ministry of Industry? Chen Zilong couldn't help but interject, it was too scary. The Liaodong army was basically Chen Xie's private army, equipped with these sharp weapons, and could enter the Beijing division at any time. An undisciplined person like Qian Qianyi can pretend to be blind when he sees it, but Chen Zilong cannot.
Chen Xie is full of discipline in his bones for Chen Zilong, and his whole mind is a scholar who is for the Ming Dynasty and his father, and he doesn't plan to let him bow his head, that is a paragraph in the novel. If someone really does this, Chen Xie has to wonder if he has any bad intentions for the first time. So Chen Zilong's reaction, Chen Xie felt that it was normal and patient.
"Handed over to the Ministry of Works? What kind of virtue are those officials of the Ministry of Industry, don't Mr. Wozi know? During the reign of the first emperor, the firearms supervised by the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty were unwilling to be used by officers and soldiers. Could it be that firearms are not as powerful as knives and guns? Moreover, does Mr. Wozi know how much these arsenals and research institutions in Liaodong cost every year? Chen Xie asked with a smile, and Chen Zilong subconsciously shook his head. In fact, he didn't have much hope for this matter in his heart, he just hoped that the cabinet lord in front of him was a model of loyalty and patriotism, and took the initiative to hand over these things to the imperial court. As a result, after some questions, Chen Zilong didn't want to answer the questions that he could answer, and the rest were questions that he couldn't answer, because he didn't understand.
"Please ask the cabinet for advice!" Chen Zilong had no choice but to give up his hand and come to retreat as advance. There is the cunning of the literati here, but Chen Xie doesn't care, if he doesn't have this little cleverness, Chen Zilong is not worthy of joining his staff team. Chen Xie knew that he came with a purpose, otherwise it would be impossible for a person to change so quickly. It's just that Chen Xie doesn't care what he knows, because even if he knows it clearly. It's useless. The more he knew, the harder Chen Zilong's confidence was hit, and that's it.
"Mr. Wowzi, what you have seen in the past two days is only the tip of the iceberg, because what is being built is not a simple Ordnance Bureau, all these research institutions and factories. Taken together, I call it an industrial system. The annual capital investment of R&D institutions in this system is 2 million silver yuan. With these investments, new technologies will continue to be born and new equipment will continue to emerge. These inputs are called scientific and technological investments, and the talents produced by these investments are called scientific and technological talents. The whole system now has about 200,000 staff, even if I am generous. Sending the entire system to the imperial court, what does Mr. Wozi think the imperial court will do with the one qiē contained in this system? Another question was thrown, don't talk about Chen Zilong at this time, Qian Qianyi was covered with cold sweat on his forehead, he couldn't do it, he was scared.
This question cannot be answered, because the reason is very simple, and the court cannot afford to raise it. Even if you can afford it. The cabinet is also reluctant to spend so much money to emulate such a system. Again, once this system Chen Xie talks about dedication. It was handed over to the imperial court. Its fate can be imagined, the bigwigs of the imperial court must take out the institutions that can make money, first divide them up, and then clean up those departments that can't make money and can't see the benefits. It's true. Every civil servant can think of this outcome.
Facing Chen Xie's aggressive eyes, Chen Zilong did not have the confidence to resist for the first time. At the end of the day, his opponents are too strong, and what about his teammates? It's a bunch of pigs, or a bunch of greedy pigs. Either the greatness of the Ming Dynasty. With such a large population, rich folk wealth, and excellent craftsmanship, how could they be hung and beaten by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which had a population of only a few million, during the Chongzhen period?
At this time, what are you talking about the monarch and the minister, father and son, the words of the three outlines and five constants, it is an insult to people's intelligence. Chen Xie has come to this day, he didn't enter the Beijing Division, and moved the dragon chair to sit on himself, that is Zhongliang. Such a big belongings is just a Liaodong, not counting more than 100,000 elite foot soldiers, not counting 100,000 navies, and not counting the value of equipment.
It's very simple, what else can you ask Chen Xie to do? It is okay if he can give up his belongings, once he gives up, can the emperor of the Ming Dynasty let Chen Xie go, and the civil and military officials can let him go? That's a joke, and it's a king-size joke.
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, Chen Zilong arched his hand and said, "Cabinet, in the lower ......." The painful expression of wanting to speak and stopping, Chen Xie was a little unbearable when he saw it. This is the pain of the loyal minister and filial son, he clearly knows that Chen Xie is a huge threat to the imperial power, but he can't open his mouth to persuade Chen Xie to give up the one in front of him. What's the difference between that and letting Chen Xie commit suicide? Once Chen Xie really lets go, the world will be in chaos. Why? Chen Xie let go, can his subordinates let go? Can you calmly lead to killing?
The current Chen Xie, even if he doesn't do anything, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty and the minister of civil and military affairs still have to burn incense and worship the Buddha, and bless Chen Xie to live as long as possible. At least that's what Chen Zilong thought, he can now see the tragic situation of Daming after his subordinates are torn apart once Chen Xie is gone. There are more than 200,000 tigers and wolves, both on land and water, and these people will be the ones who will divide one side at that time.
The only thing that can solve this problem is to win over and divide Chen Xie's subordinates before Chen Xie's death, and then break them individually. So the question arises again, is there such a person under Chen Xie? Yes, there must be, but how do you tell the difference? Once you act secretly, what will be the consequences if Chen Xie knows about it?
Chen Zilong has completely messed up, and he was full of confidence before he joined the shogunate, thinking that as long as he understood what cards Chen Xie had in his hand, he could find a way to completely subvert the largest "cancer" group in the Ming Dynasty. It's a pity that the more he knew, the more desperate he became.
After seeing Chen Zilong's helplessness and hesitation clearly, Chen Xie said lightly: "Mr. Wozi, I know what you are thinking." So it's up to me to tell you how to do it, right? That is to change Daming and make Daming stronger. How to change? Start with the law and the system, but I don't think you're likely to succeed. Is it just one chasm that you can't cross? Chen Zilong instinctively asked: "Which one?" ”
Chen Xie said lightly: "These craftsmen and technicians who are regarded as lowly by the Ming Dynasty, can you give them the corresponding social status?" Can you give up the notion of so-called trickery? Chen Zilong shook his head, Chen Xie smiled, and told him softly but firmly: "You can't, I can!" Therefore, if you want to change the Ming Dynasty, you have to let me do it and do what I say. ”
"What if anyone objects?" Chen Zilong suddenly woke up and asked in horror. Chen Xie gave him an answer that he didn't want to hear: "Does anyone object?" Then let the naysayers disappear. The tone is very indifferent, just like killing a chicken and killing a dog.
"No, how can this work?" Chen Zilong asked rhetorically, Chen Xie looked at him with a little disdain this time, and said in a disdainful tone in a faint whisper: "Yes, why can't it?" So may I ask Mr. Wozi, they are all raised by their parents, how can there be three, six, nine and so on? What actual material value do you bring to the country and society, except for writing a few sour articles? The lowly ones in your eyes, who are engaged in production and feed you, and you treat them like pigs and dogs. ”
Chen Zilong's three views are completely messed up, don't talk about him, Qian Qianyi's three views are all messed up. They are all from large families, and which one has no slaves in the family, and which one regards these slaves who serve them as human beings? It's just an object, and killing it is like losing something, and there's no pressure in your heart, okay?
People like Chen Zilong have immunity to the qi of Wang Ba, which only has attributes. If you want him to obey your orders, you have to convince him first. For Chen Xie, it is actually the same with him or not, but for the traditional official gentry group of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Zilong is almost a top thug with a double flower red stick or something.
Get Chen Zilong and let this guy see that he will follow Chen Xie, so that he will have the opportunity to ensure that the Ming Dynasty will last forever. This has a far-reaching impact on Chen Xie's dismantling of the traditional power of the Ming Dynasty in the future. In other words, Chen Zilong has done it, and those who are undisciplined are not ready to be caught? To use a more modern word, it is Chen Xie's united front.
Military means have always been a destructive last resort, and political means plus military deterrence can achieve the goal, which is the most efficient and economical. The essence of politics is the process of uniting the majority and defeating the minority. In terms of numbers, the Ming gentry group belongs to a minority, and if it was the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Chen Xie would definitely not be able to play. It is now the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the traditional so-called political system has been impacted in the process of external humiliation and internal strife. This is also the reason why Zhu Youzhen accepted the improvement. It is precisely because of this that Chen Xie has room to exert his political means.
So is Chen Zilong convinced by oral administration now? Definitely not, how can a person like him give up the so-called righteous path in his mind if he is not exhausted. Qian Qianyi was really convinced, and he may not have been in much of a mood to convince Chen Xie before, it was nothing more than the idea of hugging his thighs. After seeing these sharp weapons in Chen Xie's hands, and then looking at the trains running on the land of Liaodong, Qian Qianyi is really blessed. This is a character who can take over the world and replace Zhu Ming at any time, but he chose another path.
It's incredible, even Qian Qianyi would think in his heart, if he had such strength, how would he choose?
Chen Zilong also thought about the same question, but he didn't give himself the answer, but subconsciously avoided the answer to this question. A traditional civil servant with three views has long been formed, and his moral standards do not allow him to change when he says it. (To be continued......)
