20. Return to the palace
Bi Liwang's history is not very good, but at least in his mind, Bi Liwang still clearly remembers the two major reasons that led to the fall of the Ming Dynasty.
One is the corruption of court officials.
When Chongzhen borrowed money from officials to provide disaster relief and make up military salaries, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military officials pretended to be crazy and stupid.
Yes, the emperor borrowed money from the officials, and the officials all pretended to be crazy and stupid.
In the end, Chongzhen, who was the emperor, only raised less than 10,000 taels of silver...... What a drop in the bucket!
And what happened when Li Zicheng broke through the capital and broke into the palace?
Under Li Zicheng's stick, those officials took out 70 million taels of silver and countless jewels!
Especially Emperor Chongzhen's father-in-law, Guozhang Zhou Kui, when Chongzhen asked for money, he only donated 10,000 taels under the pleading of his daughter, that is, the queen.
Li Zicheng came...... took out 530,000 taels!
(If you don't know how to clamp the stick, you can recall the Huanzhu Gege back then, and the torture tool when Ziwei was pinched was the clamping stick.) You can clip your fingers, feet, and head. )
You can see what kind of corruption this has become.
The second is drought!
In the last years of the Ming Dynasty, there were numerous droughts and no grain harvest.
Tens of millions of people can only live by eating soil, eating too much, eating enough, and dying!
Eating soil in the true sense of the word! What I eat is not red clay, but Guanyin soil, which is used to burn porcelain!
If it weren't for the lack of grain and famine everywhere, then 'Li Zicheng', the number one courier of Dashun Logistics Company in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, would not have appeared!
What? Don't understand?
When Li Zicheng rebelled, the name of the country for self-reliance was 'Shun' and 'Da Shun'!
And not long after this Dashun Emperor was the emperor, he directly gave the country to the Manchu Tartars, what is this Dashun Logistics Company? What's not this the number one courier?
Compare the 'Kaishen Logistics' and 'No. 0 Marshal Chang Kaishen' with the number one courier of Dashun Logistics Company during the anti-Japanese period - Chang Kaishen is a scumbag!
For this reason, Bi Liwang had to create a botanist.
Although in the Ming Dynasty, high-yield foods such as sweet potatoes and potatoes had been introduced to the land of China, but did people at that time know that those things could be eaten?
Just like tomatoes, before the tomatoes were determined to be edible, didn't they also have the title of poisonous fruit?
One bite breaks the soul.
In addition, the wide spread and planting of crops also takes time.
You can't buy seeds today, they will bloom and bear fruit tomorrow, and spread throughout the Ming Dynasty the day after tomorrow, right?
Therefore, botanists are indispensable.
As for those professionals in communication studies, Bi Liwang is used to deal with those corrupt officials and scholars who are traitors.
Everything is inferior, but reading is high.
The gist of this sentence is: all industries are lowly, and only studying and entering the profession is the right way.
In modern times, people will only feel ...... Whoever says this is a fool.
Because talents from all walks of life are very important, one line after another.
You only sell things, but no one farms, and no matter how much money you sell, you will starve to death.
If you are just an official, you will become a commander of the light pole.
But in ancient times, this sentence was a wise saying.
And in the movement of "deposing a hundred schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone" for thousands of years, the status of scholars is far higher than that of any profession.
'Shinong Industry and Commerce' is the best proof of this.
Sometimes a word from a reader is worth a thousand words from others.
Especially in the Song Dynasty, the emphasis on literature and light on military force can be called the extreme!
In the previous Sui and Tang dynasties, the sons of merchants could not even take the imperial examination!
The reason why this group of people was called out was that they hoped to end the situation that for many years, everything was inferior and only the reading was high.
To put it more bluntly, Bi Liwang is ready to fight a war of public opinion.
That is to say, the UC shock department, don't look / turn not the China/Ming people's department, the soft advertising department? A picture at the beginning, and the content depends on the editorial department? It's about to sweep the entire Daimyo.
And, of course, going into the Ministry of Science.
I don't want to completely belittle the readers, but I just want the status of the readers to no longer be so high.
There is no longer a situation where a family of three, the man is stupid to read all day long, the woman is tired and busy making money, and the child is having fun and does not know what to call it.
Time passed slowly, and when night fell, Bi Liwang and Wei Zhongxian had already left the barren mountain and returned to the palace.
However, in the end, Bi Liwang did not ask Wei Zhongxian to lead troops to surround the barren mountain, but directly created hundreds of second-generation American soldiers to patrol day and night.
Interestingly, these created soldiers look like humans on the outside, but they're actually robots!
Bi Liwang was shocked at the beginning!
But thanks to the robots, Bi Liwang doesn't have to worry about their personal lives.
After returning to the palace, Bi Liwang obviously found that the eyes of the palace maid and eunuch beside him had changed, and there was no respect in his eyes, some were just afraid.
That's right, after all, Wei Zhongxian has bowed down to himself, so they naturally won't have eyes.
Pushing open the door of the dormitory, the first thing that catches your eye is a table of steaming food, as well as palace maids and eunuchs standing around, waiting to be served.
and Mu Rufeng, who was standing upright and dozing off.
"You all go out, she stays."
Bi Liwang ordered.
Hearing this, the palace maid and eunuch hurriedly walked out of the palace as if they had been amnestied.
Then Bi Liwang hurriedly walked in front of Mu Rufeng and shook Mu Rufeng's shoulder.
"Green tea, green tea...... Are you okay. ”
"Hmmm......"
Mu Rufeng opened her eyes in a daze.
"No, it's fine."
"Is it really okay?!"
"It's okay, it's just that some people want to doze off, as I said, because I exchanged the breath of the strong man, I can't refine it all, so there will be the side effects of dozing."
At this point, Mu Rufeng was completely sober.
"It's really okay, anyway, what's going on at this table? Also, where did Zhang Yan go? ”
Bi Liwang asked, pointing to the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table.
"This table was ordered by me, and because you were powerful in the harem this morning, those palace maids and eunuchs also wanted to hug your thighs, so they used their greatest strength to cook you such a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas.
As for Zhang Yan, as for Zhang Yan, as early as after you went out, you sneaked to Emperor Tianqi's side alone to take care of him.
Later, you can ask someone to take care of her, I am wearing a palace maid's clothes, and those eunuchs will not listen to me. ”
"Okay. Let's eat first. ”
Bi Liwang said with a smile.
At the same time, Wei Zhongxian on the other side was not in the mood to eat, even though what was in front of him at this time was his favorite food.
Because at this time, Wei Zhongxian had already manipulated the dog to become obsessed, and manipulated Bi Liwang to give him the dog that he sent to monitor the imperial court officials.
At this time, Wei Zhongxian's gaze had been replaced by a dog lying at the door of someone else's house, looking at the world in the dog's eyes, and then feeling the feeling brought by the dog's gaze movement.
Wei Zhongxian suddenly had a dreamlike feeling.
There is just one thing that Wei Zhongxian is very puzzled about......
"Why doesn't this dog eat?"
