Chapter 664: On the Market Economy
The atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall is weird.
Among the several lecturers present, except for Yu Chengxun, who did not show his rejection of Zhu Hao's lectures, the rest frowned.
The absurd theory was said in front of the emperor, and the monarchs and ministers still discussed it in a similar way, and even proposed to use silver to buy the people of the world, and were willing to work for the court!?
Please, in the traditional etiquette of Confucianism, the "prince of heaven and earth" has always been emphasized, and the main purpose is to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism.
Even if we are all taking money, we must not take the initiative to withdraw money!
Zhu Si asked, "Then Zhu Hanlin, the imperial court has no silver now, how should we accumulate silver?"
These words seem to be choking Zhu Hao.
Don't say it so nicely, having silver can calm people's hearts.
The problem is, the court has no silver, and now even the palace is being repaired, and the court is crying poor, I also know that silver is good, you must come up with a practical way to earn silver, right?
"Your Majesty, this topic should be stopped in moderation, and the king should not ask about fame and fortune."
Shi Xuan came out again to admonish.
Zhu Siyi waved his hand: "Master Shi, I also know that I shouldn't talk about silver, this is ungentlemanly, but the problem is ...... Is there anything that the court is discussing that is not related to silver?"
"To govern the world, to put it bluntly, don't all have to rely on the supply of the government treasury? Border defense, rivers, and people's livelihood are all places where money is spent, and salt administration, taxes, and official land are all places to earn money...... Taken together, the imperial court was formed. I don't understand, why Zhu Hanlin mentioned the issue of money, you would be so repulsed?"
"Minister......
Shi Xuan didn't know what to say.
In the court, it is true that most of the time is talking about silver, as if the Ming Dynasty is a vegetable market, a place for bargaining.
But in the minds of the literati, the court should not be a place where the baht must be compared, the local wind and rain are smooth and there is no disaster, the Haiyan River is clear, everyone obeys the law of filial piety and etiquette, and never does the rebellion, and the foreign Yi are all subservient to the rule of the Central Plains Dynasty and never knock on the side......
But it has always been an ideal society, but the reality is that the court is mentioning money all the time.
Zhu Si looked at Zhu Hao: "Zhu Qing's family, you don't have to stop, continue to say what you think."
Zhu Hao said: "The minister is a Confucian student, and he doesn't know much about how to make money.
You still don't understand?
Is there anyone in the world who can make more money than you?
Whether it is Zhu Si or Zhang Zuo, they all looked at Zhu Hao with a smile, as if to say, you are so modest, the little silver we have in hand is all earned by you, you actually said that you won't?
Zhu Siyi waved his hand: "But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Obey."
In front of his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy, Zhu Hao talked eloquently, "An ordinary family in the people, if you want to live a stable life, you must have a solid family background, and the so-called poor and lowly couples mourn everything, only if the family has enough food and clothing, a family can enter a relatively harmonious state." And to accumulate a family foundation, there are only two points, one is open source, and the other is to reduce expenditure."
Zhu Si nodded, stroked his chin, and seemed to be thinking about it.
Zhu Hao said: "In the past few years, the Ming Dynasty has always focused on throttling, and there were originally 100,000 taels of expenses in the local area, so if you save it, 70,000 or 80,000 taels can be coordinated, and the silver for repairing the river should have been allocated 200,000 taels, and 100,000 taels below the provincial level, and the rest will be filled by the local government......."
Zhu Si smiled and said, "This is all the norm, it is normal for the court to lack silver, whose accounts don't have a hole or something?"
Zhu Hao nodded and said, "But the problem is that even in ordinary people's homes, relying on thrift to enrich the family will still bring a lot of troubles, husband and wife, father and son, brother quarrel, family disharmony, mainly because throttling will affect the quality of life...... The throttling of the imperial court also brought about local instability, affecting the lives of the subjects from the top down!"
"Zhu Qing's family's words have come to my heart, and I also think so...... If you want to reduce expenditure, or deduct the dispatch from everywhere, or let the soldiers barely survive, until now, the salary of the generals of the Northwest Army has not been paid for several years in arrears, and many military households are unable to sustain, and they have to rely on selling ordnance to survive
When I hear it, I am anxious in my heart."
Zhu Si looked very emotional, "So the town thinks that it is more important to open source. But...... The question is...... What kind of open source method?"
Zhu Hao spread his hands: "I don't know."
It was another answer that made everyone present almost vomit blood.
Yu Chengxun saw that Zhu Si and Zhu Hao asked me and answered, as if he had a tacit understanding, and thought that there was some friendship between the two teenagers, and was about to stop Zhu Hao from continuing, but Zhu Hao came up with such a sentence of "I don't know", and forcibly pulled Yu Chengxun back to reality.
That's right.
The purpose of Zhu Hao's lecture today is to be responsible for choking the new emperor, and he is not really teaching the new emperor the great principles of governing the country and the country, what are you afraid of?
Zhu Si blushed, pointed at Zhu Hao and said, "Zhu Jingdao, are you making fun of me? Tell me for a long time, but you tell me I don't know, do you believe it or ......not?"
was about to make a threat, looked around, everyone looked at him with strange eyes, Zhu Si seemed to feel that it was so unorthodox to lose the emperor's dignity, so he kept silent, just glared angrily.
Zhu Hao saw Zhu Si's angry little appearance, and thought, it seems that your acting skills have improved, but I don't know that I really think you are angry.
Zhu Hao said: "Open source is a very real problem, and it cannot be solved by one person overnight. The minister just thinks that the idea of solving the problem, the court can ask the ministers to contribute ideas in the future, choose the best suggestions from them, and completely solve the financial predicament of the court, instead of relying on the minister's whim. If Your Majesty has to ask the minister what to do, there is only one thing the minister can say......
All were interested.
Even Zhu Si and Zhang Zuo were interested, looking at Zhu Hao with blazing eyes, because this was no longer the line they had spoken to before, maybe Zhu Hao really had any tricks to make money?
Unexpectedly, when everyone was engrossed in looking at Zhu Hao, Zhu Hao stopped talking.
Zhu Si frowned: "Isn't there a little? Hurry up!"
Zhu Hao didn't answer, but looked at Shi Xuan on the side: "Master Shi, can you say it below?"
Shi Xuan was asked inexplicably.
Why didn't you ask my opinion when you said these outrageous things earlier? Now that you've turned up all the curiosity of the big guys, you're actually asking me if I can say it?
You kid...... Ill-intentioned!
Seeing that I didn't look for Lao Liu to talk about it after I went back, let him know what kind of goods Zhu Hao was admiring.
"You say!"
Shi Xuan couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, waved his hand,
Zhu Hao replied, "Push through the old and bring forth the new."
"Oh."
Zhu Si nodded, then his eyes widened, "What?"
Zhang Zuo hurriedly asked, "Zhu Hanlin, can you make it clearer, how to come up with a new method?"
Zhu Hao said, "How can this be stated in detail? Pushing through the old and bringing forth the new, in fact, is to break the old rules and let some new things come out, if everything is in order, then where to talk about open source? 「
"Open source is to do things that no one has done before, to do things that others dare not think, just like today's minister's daily talk, if everything is according to plan...... Who will say this in front of Your Majesty?"
Even if Zhu Hao's words were still fallacies, Wen Renhe on the side couldn't stand it, and nodded again and again, as if he was touched.
Mu Konghui looked at Wen Renhe curiously, why were you moved by this kid's words in three or two sentences? He's clearly talking nonsense.
Wen Renhe reacted, smiled helplessly, and continued to be silent, wanting to hear what else Zhu Hao had "high opinions".
Zhu Si looked very dissatisfied, the muscles on his face twitched a few times, and then said, "The truth is such a truth, but now the resistance of the DPRK to the old things is not small, I want to sell a mining kiln, but I will be stopped by life!" I still want to open more mines......
"What do you say? Zhu Jingdao, your words sound like truth everywhere, but after listening to it, it gives people a feeling as if they haven't heard anything...... You're fooling me."
Zhu Hao arched his hand.
Meaning, others fool you more, how can you not look for their hemp
Bother?
The monarch and the minister used to sing double reeds to discuss the national economy and people's livelihood, but now the atmosphere has suddenly become tense.
"Okay, that's all for today's talk, I don't want to hear it anymore, I'll continue to ...... in two days."
Zhu Si didn't want to listen to others after listening to Zhu Hao's lecture.
Originally, he was making up for himself, but after listening to what Zhu Hao said, do you still want to listen to those rotten Confucianism?
"Your Majesty, today's talk is not over yet."
Shi Xuan came out of the line.
Zhu Siyi waved his hand: "But after listening to Zhu Hao's words, I was already full, and my stomach was full of anger...... Do you think I can still listen to what others are saying...... Zhu Hao, come here, I have something to ask you alone!"
Then Zhu Hao was called by Zhu Si to the side hall of Wenhua Palace, as if he wanted to ask the teacher for sin.
……
……
End of the day.
After leaving the palace with Zhu Hao and returning to the Hanlin Academy, Yu Chengxun immediately found Yang Shen and told him what he had seen and heard in the palace.
"What did you say? Jingdao didn't follow the lecture notes I gave? Make your own decisions?"
Yang Shen was surprised.
Zhu Hao's move is simply a rebellion.
Yu Chengxun smiled: "What he said is much more wonderful than your speech."
When Yu Chengxun roughly explained the conversation between Zhu Hao and Zhu Si, Yang Shen's face improved slightly.
But Yang Shen was still a little vigilant, as if he felt that something was wrong.
"But the strange thing is that after the day lecture, His Majesty called Jingdao to the side hall alone, and Jingdao came out after a long time and went out of the palace with us. When asked about his situation, he said that His Majesty didn't say anything about it, but just let him stand there for nearly an hour."
Yu Chengxun didn't believe Zhu Hao's words at all.
He felt that the new emperor said something to Zhu Hao, but Zhu Hao didn't want to say it to the outside world, so he pushed the emperor to let him go in and punish him.
Yang Shen was relieved after hearing this, nodded and said, "That's right, Your Majesty is very dissatisfied with Jingdao, so he took the opportunity to call him in and perform corporal punishment."
"Really...... Punishment?"
Yu Chengxun didn't quite understand.
The little emperor Dou was summoned alone, can he still be fine?
Yang Shen sighed: "This new emperor, he does things unconventionally, and many times he does nonsense, Zhu Hao's move is actually entertaining him, he should have heard it, and simply called Zhu Hao in to confuse the public, so that outsiders think that he is the new emperor's lineage, and he does that divisive plan...... If we really think so, then Zhu Hao's future will be completely over!"
