725 Where to go
Zhu Cihong asked the children of the clan to study the sect with the Xun Qi later, so the East Palace lectured on officials and became vain. Zhu Hegui inherited his father's talent and was quite hungry for reading, so in addition to Mr. Zongxue, he also went to Guozijian to find some Hanlin Confucians to ask for teaching.
These great Confucians also taught other princes, but it was generally believed that only the crown prince was sensitive and studious, and as for the second son of the emperor, Zhu Heqi, it could be regarded as stubborn.
Now Guozijian is in charge of Liu Zongzhou, but the study of Qishan has not been carried forward. There is no other reason, now that politics and science are separated, without the support of politics, it is difficult for any philosophical thought to be magnified. What's more, Guozijian is not the only one Liu Zongzhou Confucian, other Guan Xue, Luo Xue, Cheng Zhu Lixue, and Yangming Xinxue are all mainstream thoughts, and there are endless debates among students.
In order to enhance his strength, Liu Zongzhou also pulled his protΓ©gΓ© Huang Zongxi into the Guozijian.
Huang Zongxi is good at thinking and well-read, and after entering prison, he has a faint style of a grandmaster. He went to Zongxue to talk about history, and was quite favored by the crown prince, and often came to ask questions.
The gentleman Zhu Hegui sought advice from was this Mr. Huang Zongxi Huang.
This Mr. Huang has the same surname as Huang Daozhou, and has an extremely similar personality charm, which is why the crown prince has special trust in him.
"In all dynasties, talent has always been the most important thing for kings. Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, there have been imperial examinations for the country, and now the saint has established a new school, and the way to take scholars has changed again. Huang Zongxi took the royal details and analyzed them carefully for the crown prince: "This is why the Holy One spares no effort to run the school." β
"Then why invest in factories and mines?" The crown prince asked.
Huang Zongxi was also a little puzzled, and said: "Maybe it's because the profits in this area are not large, and the Holy Son of Heaven is benevolent and doesn't compete with the people." β
Combined with what his father said before, the crown prince felt that it might not be as Mr. Huang said.
Today, Huangming is far from entering the energy age. In addition to refining fierce fire oil, petroleum is only useful for asphalt and ink. It is a cheap thing. Coal and iron are even more so, if they don't become large-scale, they basically can't make money. So Zhu Cihong's layout in the energy field doesn't look like doing good deeds to others?
However, once the steam engine and internal combustion engine appeared on a large scale, these cheap things would be transformed into the backbone of the country's economy.
Arguably. As long as the energy is controlled, no one can weaken the influence of the royal family. Unless the whole system is simply broken and a stormy revolution is carried out.
For Huang Zongxi, who does not attach importance to technology, he is naturally a star in the sky, which is difficult to see with the naked eye.
Huang Zongxi valued the royal stake in overseas colonial territories even more. Nowadays, most of the royal income is provided by the Nanyang Company and the Australian Company, and the American Company has gradually caught up, bringing back a large amount of real money. If the emperor attaches so much importance to overseas colonial powers, it will definitely affect the future national policy.
"Mr. Huang, I don't understand." Zhu Hegui said respectfully: "The people's heart that my father said is my heavenly heart. We must focus on the place where the people are living. That's nothing more than food, clothing, shelter and transportation. However, in terms of 'clothes', the Tianjia only accounts for a very small part, and it is still the cotton village purchased by Baohedian itself in Tianshan, which is not the intention of his father. Food, many Huangzhuang have changed hands, except for planting some grains, vegetables and fruits in Nanhaizi for eating, there is almost no farmland next to it. Why don't you catch these two big heads? β
Huang Zongxi is also very strange, such an industrial layout is obviously not conducive to the development of the family. Any big family. You must have your own land before you can talk about investing in other floating wealth.
"This." Huang Zongxi felt a little embarrassed, "The minister doesn't dare to wave the truth, and let the minister go back and think about it for a moment or two, and then report it to His Highness." β
Zhu Hegui was a little disappointed and said, "Yes." β
β¦β¦
Zhu Cihong looked at his second son riding a bamboo horse, and kept thinking about why the temperament of the two sons was so different. Maybe it's because my brother has reached the age where he wants to prove himself. And the younger brother is still ignorant.
"Jia Ge'er, what kind of emperor do you want to be?" Zhu Cihong suddenly asked.
At this time, there were only three fathers and sons in the courtyard, and Zhu Heyuan was only six years old, holding an apple and nibbling happily, and he didn't listen to his father's questions at all.
Zhu Heqi stopped his throbbing steps. A little blushed and said, "Isn't the emperor only the father and the emperor brother?" β
"If." Zhu Cihong said: "If you can be an emperor, what kind of emperor do you want to be." β
"Hehe," Zhu Heqi smiled, "I want to be an emperor like Qin Shi Huang." β
"That's not a model for Mingjun." Zhu Cihong also smiled.
"But Mingjun is too hard and not happy." Zhu Heqi continued to jump up, panting and said, "It's like the emperor's grandfather is Mingjun, right?" Always by those old guys. My father is also a Ming monarch, he is busy all day long, he has to worry about everything, and he has to bargain with others for some things. β
Zhu Cihong looked at this second son with some surprise, he always felt that he was a little heartless and thick-skinned on weekdays, but he didn't expect that he was also observing the world.
"Qin Shi Huang is so good, what do you want." Zhu Heqi jumped to Zhu Cihong's side and grinned: "If I become the emperor, I will tell the ministers: I want to fight the Turks, I want to fight Taixi, I want to fight Xiyi, I want to fight the whole world, you go and get ready for me and go!" Then I could keep playing, playing, and they would give me the place. β
"When you become an emperor, you can eat whatever you want, can't you?" Zhu Heyuan suddenly interjected and asked.
Zhu Cihong patted the third child's head, stared at Zhu Heqi and said, "What if the ministers below refuse?" They refuse to fight, can you force them to go? β
"That'...... There's always a way. Zhu Heqi said: "Why are the ministers under Qin Shi Huang willing? So, there must be a way, but I don't know yet. β
"There is indeed a way." Zhu Cihong nodded lightly and watched his second son jump away to play again. In his heart, he has actually answered Zhu Heqi's question, that is, "allies", or to put it more accurately in later generations, it should be called a community of interests.
The Qin State after the Shang Dynasty rewarded the countrymen with martial arts, not to mention that the nobles enjoyed the benefits because of the conquest of the Six Kingdoms, even the ordinary Qin people also improved their social status and improved their living environment in the conquest. This is the greatest community of interests.
When the people of the Six Kingdoms were still fighting for the king, the Qin people were already working for themselves. In terms of enthusiasm for work, is the part-time worker more concerned about corporate profits, or is the boss himself more concerned?
The reason why he didn't say it was because Zhu Heqi was too young to understand. On the other hand, Zhu Cihong has also entered a new stage of governing the country, and his strategic layout and ideology are brewing.
Judging from the education that Zhu Heqi received in his previous life, although he studied abroad in his early twenties, the real sense of "political learning" was still in the political education class in high schools in China. No matter how big the controversy was about middle school politics and education at that time, Zhu Cihong felt that he had benefited from it at this moment.
Without the high school literacy of Marxism and the introduction of Marxism-Leninism-Mao-Deng in the university, Zhu Cihong would not have realized the importance of the relations of production at all. In the first decade of his reign β if not counting the encroachment of the Hidden Mansion era, his main focus was on the liberation of the productive forces.
It is undeniable to say that Zhu Cihong did not think about changing the relationship between people in the whole society, but only hoped to tap more power into production and create social value.
However, simply emancipating the productive forces without touching the relations of production is a fantasy, and it is impossible to exist at all.
When the police and the inspection department escorted groups of lazy, blind and poor people to Northeast China, Taiwan, Australia, and even the Americas with state violence, the relations of production were already touched.
When Shandong, in order to raise military spending, the guard battalion of the East Palace confiscated the rich and large households, and did not even let go of the homes of the officials in the central government, and produced "criminal officials" in batches, the relations of production have also been shaken.
To this day, "Lu Zheng" is still a scar that people dare not mention, because in that "movement" that made great profits and gave great impetus to Zhu Cihong's career, he actually stood on the opposite side of the values of the entire society. No one mentioned it, precisely because people did not dare to accuse the emperor, and it was not that they could agree.
During these years, Zhu Cihong had already propped up a new class, allowing the old appropriators of the means of production to transition to this class, including the royal family itself. From a Marxist point of view, he found a class ally. This class ally will fight, plunder, and exploit for the benefit of the class, together with the royal family.
The key problem is that there are so few philosophers in the world. How many people have obviously gotten on Zhu Cihong's thief ship, but they don't know this at all? How many people have clearly entered the new class and profited by new means, but yet they are nostalgic for the old small-scale peasant economy, or even resigned?
Zhu Cihong knew that once the problem of changing the relations of production was placed in front of him, it would require more refined means and greater patience to solve it.
So in the emperor's mind, what kind of reform of production relations should the Ming Dynasty undertake?
If we follow the knowledge learned in high school, the relations of production can be divided into two categories, one is based on public ownership and the other is based on private ownership. From a historical point of view, the Confucian scholars of the Song Dynasty hoped to build a world based on public ownership, so even if the imperial court could not compete with the people for profit, in important economic fields such as salt and iron, foreign trade, etc., the state had to grasp more and more tightly.
From the perspective of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Gao, and the subsequent emperors, were carrying out private ownership reforms. A large number of government-run salt factories and iron factories have been turned into private ownership at extremely low prices. The entire guard system collapsed, and it was precisely under the slackness of the imperial court that nearly half of the country's land and population became the private property of the military aristocracy.
It can be said that the Ming Dynasty has gone far on the road of private ownership, and if it wants to re-follow the line of state capitalism based on public ownership, only the reincarnation of Mao Zu can do it, and it is definitely not something that Zhu Cihong can achieve. (To be continued......)
