Although iron ore was found near Nanjing, it is also a development zone in Jiangsu, and it will take half a year to officially put into production, and most of the development zones in Zhejiang are mainly imported from all over the country, due to transportation restrictions, freight is often higher than the price of raw materials, which is naturally one of the keys to restricting development.

Zhou Mubai thought of the wording and continued: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is really unwise to purchase steel and other industries in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so it is better to focus on the development of silk and cotton textiles. Jiangxi is also the land of fish and rice, although the development of a number of iron mines, but after all, the traffic is not as good as Suzhou, Hangzhou, if you try your best to compete with it, it is better to find another way. ”

Zhu Jun cheered up and seemed to have some clues: "Zhou Aiqing, keep talking." ”

"Yes." Zhou Mubai talked eloquently: "Jiangsu is rich in minerals, and can give priority to the development of steel and derivative iron tools, while Zhejiang has fertile land, suitable for planting mulberry trees, raising silkworm cocoons, and the imperial court can support its textile industry. And Jiangxi is the hometown of clay, Jingdezhen is to compete for the world with ceramics, why not encourage the ceramic industry in Jiangxi? In this way, there was less competition between the provinces, and they could exchange commerce and trade, increase contacts, and also facilitate the management of the imperial court. Of course, what Weichen said is not absolute, Jiangsu can also be tile, and Zhejiang is not unable to make iron, but the imperial court's policy in the provinces is inclined to encourage a certain extent. Speaking of which, these are still a little shallow views of Weichen after all, and whether they can be implemented or not still needs to be decided by the emperor himself. ”

Zhou Mubai said modesty, but aroused Zhu Jun's great interest, the international division of labor in later generations, in fact, in this era is not inapplicable, the provinces between the development of their own industries, the formation of industrial chains, in this way, each province has its own pillar industry, a little specialization, wouldn't it be better? Zhejiang, the imperial court can encourage silkworm weaving, related industries can reduce some taxes, the use of factories to make this industry bigger, and finally become the entire Ming Dynasty and even the world's textile industry suppliers, of course, Zhejiang textile-based, does not mean that the textile industry is completely applied, other industries can also be encouraged, just highlight the textile industry, in this way, the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River have their own pillar industries, decades later, and can establish their own brands, to the future, I am afraid that even if there is the rise of emerging countries, It is also extremely difficult to catch up.

Thinking of this, Zhu Jun has applauded: "This idea is good, if it is so on, Fujian can encourage the shipbuilding industry, Guangdong does not need to mention, the advantages are obvious, the imperial court can be laissez-faire, I believe that all industries can rise, Hunan is located inland, can be tea-based, supplemented by various industries, plus Hunan has always been a transportation hub connecting the southeast coast and the southwest, Haidu and other places, and there is no need to worry about the lack of commerce, what does Zhou Aiqing think?" ”

This idea has been brewing in Zhou Mubai's mind for a long time, and after saying it, it was vigorously approved by the emperor, and he also cheered up and regained his usual look: "Nanyang, Jiangnan, Fujian, Guangdong and even Hunan have all been settled, so what should the three southwestern provinces do?" In fact, Weichen is most assured that the three provinces of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan, these three provinces are rich in resources, all kinds of ores have both, but the front is not in the village, after not falling in the store, there is a certain distance from the sea, and it is half a month's trip from the south of the Yangtze River, surrounded by mountains and forests, although the imperial court has established several development zones, but the trade is not passable, most of the goods produced in the development zone can only be sold in the three provinces, the speed of development of the factory is extremely slow, so up to now, there are very few large factories to stand out, most of them are still maintained at the level of small and medium-sized workshops, If this continues, after a few ten years or a hundred years, the three places of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan may lag far behind the provinces. ”

Zhou Mubai was originally a native of Yunnan, although he was unruly when he was young, and he left his hometown to take refuge in the king of Burma, and it was inevitable that he was a little cynical at that time, but when he was older, he paid more attention to his hometown in Yunnan.

Zhu Jun pondered for a moment, this problem is not easy to solve, maybe it can be alleviated to a certain extent after the advent of the train era, but now that the marine economy has been opened, the development of inland areas is indeed extremely difficult: "These three provinces are mainly tourism." ”

"Tourism?" Zhou Mubai heard a new place name again, he really couldn't imagine that tourism can also make money.

Zhu Jun played the signboard of the tourist destination, and it was also helpless. I have to find some work for the people of the three provinces: "Not bad." The imperial court can allocate some silver taels to repair various scenic spots. In the future, Haidu and Jiangnan will be rich. The people have money to spare. Naturally, travel is best at leisure

Manner. A large number of people poured into the scenic spots of the three provinces. Isn't food and clothing a way to make money? ”

Zhu Jun paused unsatisfactorily. Then he said: "In addition." Although these three provinces are located in mountainous areas. It's not without value. Many of the armies run by the imperial court can be moved there in the future. After all, it cannot be guaranteed if it is placed on the coast. Once a war is waged on a large scale. The coast is the primary target of the enemy's territory. If all the arsenals are destroyed. What else can the state do to deal with the enemy? Therefore, these arsenals were all relocated to Yunnan-Guichuan. So. Wouldn't it be possible to provide tens of thousands, or even tens of millions, of salaries to the people in the three provinces? ”

Zhou Mubai has little interest in ethereal travel. It's just that when he heard the relocation of the arsenal, he couldn't help but pat his forehead and smiled: "Weichen didn't expect it." It's the best of both worlds. It can not only ensure the safety of weapons factories. It can also provide livelihood for the local people. ”

After a discussion. A monarch and a minister actually agreed on economic policy in a short period of time. Serious business is over. Zhou Mubai had already stroked his beard and laughed: "The Emperor's New Confucian Dictionary is now published. There is not much controversy between the various schools. Weichen has seen the New Confucian ceremony. The emperor is very clever in this move. Gewu, Zhizhi, sincerity, righteousness, self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, and leveling the world. These eight entries are listed. I don't know how many people who read books have a headache. ”

Zhu Jun also pursed his lips and smiled. Zhou Mubai is right. Those who read the books are probably in vain. In the past, reading and talking about self-cultivation, family, governance, and peace in the world. You nerds. It's still early to rule the country and level the world. Do you want to rule the country and level the world after reading a few scriptures? It's not going to happen. You're going to read books. Be an official. You have to take it one step at a time. That's it. It's Gewu. The so-called Gewu nature is to exhaustively study the truth of things. This is Enlightenment. A toddler has just started school. I don't know a lot about things. Literacy is naturally taught by man. Teach the laws of the development of things.

The second step is to know, and knowledge is a level higher than that of Gewu, you have to supplement knowledge, what kind of knowledge is supplemented? Don't panic, the emperor has already listed it for you, including physics, chemistry, arithmetic, language, astronomy, geography, commerce, painting, gardening, mechanical forging, medicine, etc., all of which must be learned.

The third step is sincerity and righteousness.

The fourth step is self-cultivation and family.

When you have completed these four steps, no one criticizes in terms of morality, and you have a specialization in knowledge, then you can conduct a scientific examination, and after the success of the scientific examination, you will be a showman, and you can be divided into various departments by the imperial court to sit up from the officials, and be an official, still far away from you, stay up slowly, if you think that being a small official is not decent, there is no future, and the court will not force it, and the various knowledge you have learned in the past is not very useful? On the frontispiece of the Neo-Confucian canon, it is not the emperor himself who gave a comment: 'Learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, and you are not afraid to go all over the world.' 'Is it?' You can go to various factories, go to various shops, use the knowledge you have learned to create wealth, to develop your business, with a skill, what are you afraid of?

The book of the New Confucian Canon is basically Zhu Jun's standard textbook for the imperial examination, a derivative of the anti-sage under the banner of the sage, through the ambiguity in the Analects from the new interpretation of the direction of learning, the scientific examination of the eight-strand literary style is imperceptibly transferred to the aspect of mathematics, physics and chemistry, as for the discussion of those who read the book, he can't control it, the New Confucian Canon is the descendants of the Confucian sage who also joined the editing, and the eldest and second of the Confucian family didn't say anything, what do you guys with foreign surnames have to discuss? Go home honestly and study mathematics, physics and chemistry for a few more years to take the exam.

When Zhu Jun thought of this, he seemed to see the whimpering and mournful appearance of those scholars who had read for half his life, and couldn't help but smile: "The direction of public opinion in the newspapers must be mastered, I have ordered them not to discuss the new education policy in vain, but some dissatisfied scholars complained, but it doesn't matter, I heard that the students of Yangming Academy are strongly advocating new learning, these scholars are real talents, what I hate most is the empty quotation of scriptures, rice does not know where it comes from, and I don't know how to make a living." ”

Zhou Mubai was originally a scholar of mind, and when he heard the emperor's words, he was obviously dissatisfied with the group of wastes who were dissatisfied with science, and immediately smiled and said: "Your Majesty, when it comes to the reader of mind, Weichen knows a talent, this person and a Westerner have jointly drummed up a machine that can move, which is very fresh and has also caused a sensation." ”
