Hearing this, Yang Shen was very helpless, it's not that he didn't complete the task, the thing His Majesty said, he did it very well, he was helpless because His Majesty simply regarded him as a god, let him do everything, and simply used him as an all-rounder.

Although it is a good thing that His Majesty trusts himself, but the donkey of the production team is not used like this, but His Majesty can't count on it, he can only rely on himself, and now he has begun to cultivate his own henchmen, and when this group of people is cultivated, it will be easy for him, as for now, he is a hard life, no way.

"You don't want to look at me with that look, as long as I was handed over to the Ministry of Industry before, who told you to empty the Ministry of Industry, what does this have to do with me." Zhu Houxi shrugged his shoulders, this is your own sin, take care of me.

"Not to mention, even if the minister empties the Ministry of Industry, there is still a shortage of manpower for the characters explained by His Majesty." Yang Shen's eyes were almost resentful, how can you drop Your Majesty, if I don't complain, you don't know how miserable I am, right?

"Ahem, then cultivate it yourself, what we do is what we will do for a thousand years, and when the time comes, we will remember your first merit and dismantle the Confucian Temple to set up an image for you." Zhu Houxi half-jokingly mentioned two sentences.

The expression on Yang Shen's face froze instantly, Your Majesty really dared to think about it, he dared to guarantee that according to his understanding of His Majesty, since His Majesty said so, it means that he had at least thought about it, this idea is very terrifying, you must know that the influence of Confucianism at the moment is too deep.

He himself is a very orthodox Confucian scholar, and he is also very aware of the status of the Confucian Temple in the hearts of Confucian scholars, if His Majesty really does this, he can't imagine what kind of uproar it will cause.

Feeling Yang Shen's silence, Zhu Houxi smiled and said: "Yongxiu, your courage is still too small, if you want to reform, you must be thorough, Confucius is a saint, if you complete these things, aren't you a saint?" Since we want to reform, we have to be thorough and replace the old ones with new ones, isn't that good? ”

Zhu Houxi has no ill feelings about Confucius's doctrines, he has also read a lot of Confucian classics, it can be said that most of the doctrines are good from the beginning, but with its continuous development, it will naturally evolve into bad things, so as one of the pillars of Confucianism, Confucius Temple, he really has this idea, establish new sages, and educate new ideas.

"Have you ever thought about the uproar this would cause?" After this period of contact, Yang Shen saw a lot, and it was really that he had seen a lot of these magical things, and his thoughts naturally diverged.

There are also some ideas given by His Majesty, if these can be realized, isn't Your Majesty much greater than Kong Sheng?

His thinking is changing imperceptibly, if His Majesty said that he would demolish the Confucian Temple half a year ago, he would definitely be the first to jump out and oppose it, but now, his first thought is whether this will endanger His Majesty's rule, although the scholars are powerless, but the officials are all from the Confucian students little by little, Your Majesty, will it be too risky.

To be honest, His Majesty's thoughts can be understood, the new learning is still weak now, but it will slowly grow in the future, and it will inevitably collide with Confucianism, and Confucianism represented by Confucius will inevitably spare no effort to block the development of the new learning, and directly take action to clear the obstacles and the best choice for the unconscious.

Zhu Houxi smiled, thought about it, why didn't he think about it, it is terrible to read and make rebellions, because the country needs these people to govern, but if a new doctrine emerges to replace it, and Confucianism is not needed to govern the country?

It can't be said that a large part, at least there will be a part of the people who will naturally change, thousands of miles of study only for wealth and power, when they find that Confucianism can not bring them benefits, there will naturally be a part of the people who will change.

Of course, there will definitely be people who make trouble, but who is he, he is the emperor, as long as he is prepared and suppressed in time, what kind of trouble can it become, Emperor Qin dares to burn books and pit Confucianism, and he dare.

In a sense, Emperor Qin did not lose, but Fusu lost, during the reign of Emperor Qin, who dared to rebel?

"Then kill, kill until they are in pain, in the bloodshed and sacrifice, they will reflect, you have to prepare the book to say, sort out these things as a substitute for Confucianism, those Confucian students find that the way to rise is blocked, they will naturally despair, at this time to release it There must be some people who are willing to grasp this life-saving straw, and the new learning will not be promoted?"

Zhu Houyu's idea is very simple, as long as the military and political power is in hand, those Confucian scholars can't turn the sky, they are like dough and let Zhu Houyu knead it, the rise of the new era will inevitably represent the end of the old era, there must be martyrs, but Zhu Houyu doesn't care, can't adapt to the development of the times, then it will be destroyed by the times.

"Wechen knows." Yang Shen sighed, he knew that in His Majesty's simple words, there would be such a river of blood in the future, where His Majesty was right, maybe the method was a little silent, but this was undoubtedly the fastest way, Confucianism was already deeply rooted, otherwise uprooting would have no effect at all.

"You don't have to worry too much about using cultivation, as long as you change the method of taking the imperial examination and use the new learning to get the official career, they won't be able to turn it over." Zhu Houxi saw Yang Shen's worries, and couldn't help but feel relieved, he knew that Yang Shen was also a Confucian student, and he must have felt a little burdened in his heart.

And Xinxue is not without a theoretical basis, in fact, Wang Yangming's unity of knowledge and action has been propagated in the Ming Dynasty, and some of them are still accepted, but Xinxue is more 'scientific'.

"Wechen is not worried about the decline of Confucianism, Wechen knows that this is the inevitable trend of reform, it has become a stumbling block on the road to reform, the minister is sighing for those innocent Confucians, and I hope that Your Majesty will make less killing." How many Confucian students in the world, and how many people can accept new learning?

There is no need to think about Yang Shen to know what the consequences will be, he can't bear it, most people are imprisoned by the times, from birth, if they want to rise, they can only do this, what is wrong with them?

"I don't want to kill them, don't talk about it, just take one step at a time, I don't want to kill them, but I can't bear to be asked by someone to die, how about the sweet potatoes I told you to plant, is the yield still passable?" Zhu Houxi waved his hand, there is nothing to say, the culture war is originally a life-and-death battle, if he loses, he doesn't think that the Confucian scholars will let him go.

"Well, Weichen specially asked the merchants of Nanyang to ask about planting and storage, and there is already a large warehouse full of them, but Your Majesty, although the yield of this thing is high, the storage is actually a little worse, and the taste is honest, it is okay to eat occasionally, and it is not digestible if you eat too much." For this, Yang Shen didn't know why His Majesty bothered to do this, I don't feel that it makes much sense, it is better to study how to increase the yield of rice.

He remembered that the treasure book given to him by His Majesty seemed to mention a thing called hybrid rice, which was said to be able to yield thousands of catties per mu.

It's just that he doesn't have time recently, and he also understands His Majesty's thoughts, so although these things are very useful for people's livelihood, the level of research is low, and what is made now is conducive to war.

"You think I don't know, but the most serious problem now is not the amount of yield in the peasants' fields, but the land annexation and the problem of the people not having enough to eat, the people have no land in their hands, then they can only accept the exploitation of the landlords, sweet potatoes certainly have the shortcomings you said, but that is only for the court, for the landlords."

"Even if it is no longer suitable for storage, it is no problem to put it for a year or two, plus the output is enough, as long as the people find a piece of wasteland to reclaim and plant, or even plant some in their own yards, it doesn't matter how much money they make, at least they can eat enough, and the court can also have a variety of varieties, and when the time comes, it will be sold at a low price, and it is difficult to store this thing, and the merchants can't speculate on the price."

Zhu Houxi only thinks about being able to feed some people, the population is a resource, if there is no one, everything is in vain, he feels very good about this thing, it can be planted in the north and south, the main thing is that the yield is enough, this is enough, some don't eat much, where do you care about the problem of eating too much and not digesting, for ordinary people, there is not enough to eat.

"Your Majesty's plan is very clever, Weichen understands." Yang Shen nodded, what His Majesty said is very reasonable, that is, there is no economic benefit, so that the merchants who rush to it can be stopped, and the people can eat.

"It's good to know, this batch of harvested all made seeds, planted next year, and then harvested to start promoting, this kind of thing should be sooner rather than later, when promoting, let's be a little more real, let farmers reclaim wasteland and plant, how much money is given for an acre of land, plant it, and then the yield will exceed how much, and then send a sum, I don't believe they don't plant."

Zhu Houxi pursed his lips, and directly knocked down the price of sweet potatoes in one step, as long as he does this, those rich businessmen and landlords will definitely have to get involved, then plant it, it's a big deal to lose some money, anyway, in the end, it is the people who benefit, and if it is made, it will be distributed.

"Your Majesty, this may cost a lot of money." Yang Shen was taken aback, is Your Majesty crazy, and you still send money?

"Spend it, spend it, what's the use of getting so much money in the treasury, you have to hide the wealth from the people, and if you don't want to spend the money, it's about the same as scrap copper and rotten iron." Zhu Houxi waved his hand, mainly because penicillin is about to be developed, and there are many ways to make money in the future.

When the time comes, first harvest a wave of major wealthy businessmen, and then the output goes up and then the people get rich, and then the price is lowered, forming a virtuous circle, Zhu Houxi feels that this is very good, and at this time he has to praise the great use of a wave of valleys, without him, you can't play like this.

"No." Yang Shen nodded slightly, His Majesty is a well-deserved Ming Jun, he has seen many things very thoroughly, and he has never spent money indiscriminately, Gu Da used the money scraped from scraping the land in Henan, and he didn't see how much His Majesty used on his body, but spent a lot of money on his own brocade guard.

It is not an exaggeration to say that His Majesty is a wise man through the ages, he doesn't want to spend so much money himself, he wants to distribute it to the people, hide the wealth from the people, it is easy to say, but how can it be so easy to really do it.

"Let's go, take me to take a look, I'm idle anyway, take my time, although I give you a lot of tasks, but the main and secondary things are straightened out, if I win this battle, you are at least a saint in the world, and when the time comes, I will give you an image, and I will definitely not lie to you."

Zhu Houxi couldn't help but patted Yang Shen's shoulder, this time he really didn't draw cakes, and he still had spiritual sustenance.

"Your Majesty deserves such praise." Yang Shen shook his head helplessly, he couldn't afford this honor.

"Haha, let's talk about it, it's too early to talk about it, we don't know who will win or lose, so take me to see your harvest first." Zhu Houxi waved his hand, he didn't think that he had a chance to win, he could only say that the overall situation was mine, and his chances of winning were still very big.

"No, in addition to the sweet potatoes that His Majesty gave me this time, I also harvested a crop called potatoes from Nanyang merchants, and the yield is also very high, but it is more difficult to store than sweet potatoes, but if it is just to make people full, the effect of potatoes is better." Yang Shen nodded slightly, as long as he could help His Majesty, it didn't matter if he was tired.

"Oh? I know that you won't let me down, let's go and see the situation first, and then I will deploy a strategic policy with you, this thing, you have to make those big families feel profitable in order to carry out their work better, otherwise, they will do everything possible to obstruct it, it's just a matter of earning more and earning less, you have to grasp a degree. ”

I didn't expect that there was an unexpected joy, indeed, potatoes have a higher starch content, which can be used as a substitute food, and then there is another problem, that is, to grow sweet potatoes and potatoes, what to do with taxes, it is impossible to levy these things, and they are not easy to store.

But if rice is still used, then there is another problem, the people see the immediate benefits, they will inevitably dig out a variety of these, maybe less rice will be planted, or even no more, that will inevitably lead to the price of rice rise, if this tax is still levied, not only will not bring good news to the people, but will even bring them a heavier burden.

The knowledge in this is great, and Zhu Houyu is still thinking about how to pit a wave of those big landlords, in fact, as long as the operation is done properly and wants to make money, it is not too easy, the problem is that Zhu Houyu only wants to cut big leeks, and he doesn't want to dig up leek roots.

This is a more nerve-wracking problem, it needs to be discussed carefully, Zhu Houxi feels that this kind of nerve-wracking thing should be handed over to Yang Tinghe, this old guy must have a way, after all, there are not only enemies who know you best, but also friends.

It's just that Zhu Houxi is not an ordinary worry about this old guy, this matter is quite big, if you don't play well, the old book will be all lost, and when the time comes, there will be public resentment boiling or something, it is difficult to do it.

I thought about it for a long time and didn't come up with any optimal solution, and in the end it was gone, let it be, take a step at a time, but I'm really unwilling, so I can't have another chance, isn't this a ruthless profit?

Zhu Houxi followed Yang Shendao to take a look at the warehouse, it was very good, it was full, Lin Yu really had nothing to say about Yang Shen's ability to do things, he really found the right thing when he was looking for him, just because he looked at him more in the crowd, this wave of blood earnings, Yang Tinghe's son is really easy to use.

"Your Majesty, according to what those Nanyang merchants said, we have dug several cellars to store this food, and we are mature in terms of technology, but this is Beijing after all, and the rest of the Ming Dynasty is not easy to say, maybe the yield will be better, it may be worse, and the minister intends to disperse it when the next batch is sown, and it can be more accurate data."

"Well, you don't worry, I handed over the Jinyiwei to you, you have to make good use of it, there are shadows of the Jinyiwei everywhere, you have to make full use of it, now you don't have to worry about how to make money, the only thing you have to think about is how to spend money."

Just hand it over to Gu Dayong to make money, and Bai Qingxue's father, I didn't think of him, and I don't know how the development has been in the past six months, but Lu Fang must have a record there, Lu Fang is careful, and he is smart.

Chen Hong is smart enough, but not careful enough, and his heart is too big and needs to be tempered, needless to say, Huang Jin's mind is delicate enough, but his brain is not bright, if these two people can be combined, it is another Lu Fang.

"Wechen, thank you for Your Majesty's trust, Wechen doesn't need Your Majesty to worry about this, Wechen can handle the matter here." Yang Shen is still very confident in this, there is a father and His Majesty on it, and the strength of Jinyiwei itself is not weak, if he can't handle everything well, then it is better to die.

"By the way, you know what the situation is on Wang Yangming's side, I remember that you have always provided armaments and materials over there." Zhu Houxi only knew that Wang Yangming was in the southeast now, and he didn't know anything else.

The armaments over there are all directly stretched out to Jinyiwei, and they don't need to pass through him, so Lu Fang's side may not know very well, this is also for their concealment, the less people know about it, the better.

This is his own secret army, which is considered a private army, so he is counting on this hand to turn the tables, and now the power on the surface will definitely not be able to turn the tables, that is, the civilian clique is a little afraid and dare not move.

"Your Majesty, have you ever asked me such a question?" Yang Shen blinked his eyes.

"Is there one? Then I ask you again, can you do it? ”

"Well, I don't know the specifics of General Wang's side, Weichen only knows his approximate location, but it's not easy to say the specifics, and it's not particularly clear what he's doing, after all, Your Majesty, you said it before."

Yang Shen said that I don't know much about this matter, what your old man ordered, don't inquire about things over there, I'm obedient, anyway, I'm only responsible for transporting armaments and giving money, I don't ask about other things, and the strength of Jinyiwei in the southeast is not strong, he doesn't expect to do anything, just send something, it's better to inquire less about these things.

He still has a very clear understanding of his positioning, he is a civilian official, belonging to Wang Yangming's logistics troops, it is not good to know too much, after all, he also has a father who is the head of a civilian official.
