As a result, things in the world become strange. It seems that the people of the world seem to be inseparable from Zhang Anshi. can think about it carefully, and it seems that Zhang Anshi has become dispensable.

The craftsmen are satisfied for the time being, because from ten or twenty years ago, they were still hungry and hungry, and now they can finally feed their families.

Many young people, or apprentices, are no longer willing to work in agriculture and study, but many more are not willing to be resigned to such a numb job and are willing to join the army.

In the halls of various universities, the School of Maritime Administration will always be the most favored object of young people, because in the future, whether it is to enter the sailor or to stir up the wind and clouds in the various feudal states, the wealth on the ocean, as well as countless achievements, seem to beckon to those young people who are unwilling to live day after day.

At present, although the crown prince is in charge of the country, almost all the projects in the world are in the hands of the emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji.

His Royal Highness, compared with the more stable prince, is more radical, the construction of major railways, ports, docks, bridges, around him, there are already many talents.

Because of manpower, coupled with a large number of men sailing to the sea or going out to work, this has led to the problem of women's employment, which is put on the table.

The first to advocate was the Shang Bao, which was almost the most radical at this time, and a large number of articles were desperately ridiculing Confucianism's harm to women, from the woman's stay at home to the woman's lack of talent is virtue, I don't know how many people wrote articles and criticized it.

Instead, women were encouraged to come out to work, especially to celebrate their contribution to the textile industry.

Women are even encouraged to read, write, and read newspapers, which of course is seen as a sign of stale and open-mindedness.

It seems that at this moment, the old morality began to be constantly impacted.

It's just that this kind of impact is not whimsical, just by virtue of the impulse of a slap on the brain.

Instead, with the change of the mode of production, a group of nouveau riche, driven by profits, began to consciously establish a new theoretical system, and then borrowed the tools of newspapers and other media to carry out propaganda.

The textile industry, in particular, and many new workshops, has seen a hunger for women workers.

Naturally, since they want to encourage women to get out of the house, then ...... Bound...... In this new moral theory, it is natural that equality between men and women is beginning to be put in the foreground.

In this era, it is obvious that this is progressive, but the so-called progress is by no means promoted by human conscience.

Rather, under the new mode of production, people, out of the desire for profit, unconsciously began to plunge into this torrent that overwhelmed the old morality.

Of course, this kind of moral system is not only for women, and almost all public opinion tendencies at the moment are almost like a torrent, and they have begun to wantonly promote adventurism and martial arts.

It is clear that a few years or more than ten years ago, people still contemptuously regarded the martial artists as Qiu Ba, and there was natural discrimination against military households.

But now, the situation has changed dramatically, and almost all the articles on the market, as well as the major newspapers, are highly regarded as adventurers and warriors.

Especially after the rebellion of the Japanese state, this kind of admiration has almost reached its peak.

In the past, Confucianism, or even the gentry, was averse to war, because war meant that a large number of strong forces in the countryside would be recruited, and the manpower in the countryside would be weakened, and the rent of land would inevitably plummet.

What's more, this also means that the imperial court may try its best to collect money and grain from the gentry.

The so-called smoke is everywhere, and the sea is wasted, which is probably the case.

And the proceeds of the war, whether it is the land of the desert or the development of the southwestern border towns, are actually nothing for the gentry, and even if there is a gain, it is the imperial court.

But now, war is completely different for the nouveau riche, the progress of technology, so that the war on the demand for manpower has been greatly reduced, in the past, millions of troops were often dispatched, the real soldiers may only be 100,200,000, and the rest are all kinds of soldiers and auxiliaries The situation has also been alleviated.

On the other hand, compared to the reduction of manpower, for the upstarts, the development of new markets is the most important thing, after tasting the sweetness once or twice, it seems to be ...... Many businessmen are no longer just advocating heavy business.

Now, they are keen to establish a new value system, that is, like the New Deal of the Japanese Kingdom, to extend this new policy to all corners of the world and open the doors of all countries under heaven.

At this time, it may be that this kind of consciousness is still in a haze, but many people unconsciously think that it would be good if all the countries in the world followed the example of the Japanese country, but the wise scholars have begun to write their articles and begin to constantly improve this theoretical system.

And to do that, it means...... The Ming Dynasty inevitably needs to have countless adventure teams and a large number of warriors to protect it.

Therefore, the admiration of martial artists and the encouragement of adventures at sea have begun to infiltrate the hearts of people all over the world like whispers.

Just a few days ago, a fleet from Europe returned home.

For many days before the return, almost many newspapers were constantly preaching! After more than half a month of hustle and bustle, there were even many people who collected the personnel up and down the fleet and their qualifications. He also regarded the captain who led the team as a rare hero in ancient and modern times.

So, just three days ago, when this tired fleet returned to Huating Harbor.

Tens of thousands of people on this shore gave a warm welcome.

The cheers continued, and the officials and businessmen led by them gave a lot of rewards.

These towering and trembling crew members disembarked from the ship were like dreams, and they could not imagine that the world had become such a scene.

This is like someone who went out on a long trip, but after returning to his hometown, he found that things were wrong, he was a single young man with four walls, but after returning to his hometown, he found that he had a new house, and his wife was actually waiting here, and he also pulled a few big fat boys with his left and right hands, and when he saw you, he rushed forward to call his father affectionately.

This kind of atmosphere, from the beginning, has been a little unstoppable.

Naturally, the concern for the Wa Kingdom is almost what many people care about the most.

And many vassal kings, apparently, are also interested in this time.

Not to mention that after being overseas for so many years, I am very homesick when I am away from home, and when I come back to see Your Majesty and make Your Majesty happy, maybe I can make a little benefit, even if there is no benefit, it is good...... It is also good to buy armaments and firearms at a little more discount.

Secondly, take this opportunity to pay homage to the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Gao!

People are overseas and often fight, and for those who fight, they are often more or less superstitious, and they always feel ...... I should pray more for the blessing of Emperor Taizu Gao, with the blessing of his old man, I can go well overseas.

As a result, many vassal kings called back one after another, some of them left early, and some of them sent their sons to go on their behalf even if they could not make the trip because of the war.

The specialties of the world's feudal clans have now become birthday gifts. At this time, King Zhao and King Han finally returned to Beijing first.

As soon as Fang arrived in Beijing, they didn't care about resting, so they entered the palace first, met their father and queen mother, stayed in the palace for a night, and went to see their brother the next day, and in the evening, they came to see Zhang Anshi.

"Haha......"

Zhang Anshi greeted the two with a smile, looked at these two dark-skinned guys, and couldn't help but think of the scenes between each other at the beginning, and couldn't help but sigh...... It's different, it's all different, so many years...... What a sea of vicissitudes. ”

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the man in front of him who was still handsome, but a little more mature and steady, and smiled: "But King Song has not changed, hey...... I'm in Annam, and I miss King Song day and night! ”

Zhang Anshi hooked his lips and smiled: "It's because you miss my firearms." ”

"What do you say, what do you say...... Hahaha...... Hahaha......" Zhu Gaoxu laughed dryly.

Zhu Gaosui's eyes were dripping, and he said in his heart that the second brother was stupid, and his temperament was always so anxious, but this time he was wading into the water for himself, this King Song has not changed, he is still so straightforward and fast-talking, and he doesn't eat the set of friendships.

At the moment, the three of them sat down, and Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui talked about their overseas encounters.

As soon as the conversation changed, Zhu Gaoxu said: "I was overseas and heard some things. ”

Zhang Anshi said: "I don't know what's going on? ”

"Ahem...... Zhu Gaoxu's magic was a little unnatural: "If I say it, don't be unhappy." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Let's talk, let's talk about it, if I were so easy to get angry, I would have been angry a long time ago." ”

Zhu Gaoxu said hesitantly: "Hey...... Heard......

The domain of my nephews...... Some people say....... Not very fair. ”

Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows lightly and said, "Where did this come from?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Zhang Anshi's expression, and seemed to feel that Zhang Anshi's reaction was quite calm, so he let go: "It's just hearsay, saying that Zhu Zhanjun's kid made a fuss in front of His Majesty, and finally gave him the domain that was originally Zhu Zhanyong." ”

Zhang Anshi said: "You are in Annan, and you also heard this?" ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Why didn't you hear it?" Who doesn't know all the vassals in this world, does it? ”

Zhu Gaoxu said, looking at Zhu Gaosui.

Zhu Gaosui shook his head and said seriously: "I haven't heard of ......"

Zhu Gaoxu: "......"

Although Zhang Anshi has heard a lot about this kind of thing, he can't help but say: "Join his mother, isn't this a good thing that doesn't go out, and a bad thing spreads thousands of miles?" How do I feel that someone is trying to ruin my reputation? ”

Zhu Gaoxu said: "Ahem...... Well, you listen to my advice, the affairs in the clan are the most troublesome, if it is not fair, it is inevitable that some people will gossip......"

Zhu Gaosui said on the side at this time: "Yes, yes, listen to the persuasion of the second brother." ”

When it came to this matter at this time, on the one hand, Zhang Anshi naturally knew that someone must have deliberately let it go.

On the other hand, for the clan relatives and vassal kings, the reason why they are so concerned about this matter is obviously also related to interests!

After all, this is related to the vital interests, after all, they are far away from the center of the court, but Zhang Anshi is in front of the emperor, if in the future, what are the rewards and rewards, but Zhang Anshi will give the benefits to his own nephews, everyone will suffer.

Of course, everyone has prejudices in their hearts, but ordinary vassal kings may not be willing to say it, everyone knows that Zhang Anshi will still be in charge of the center for at least 20 years in the future.

King Han is reckless and straightforward, not to mention that he has a good relationship with Zhang Anshi now, so he confided in him at this time.

Zhang Anshi naturally began to shout grievances, saying that he was kind enough to be a donkey's liver and lungs, so Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui had no choice but to say: "Forget it, forget it, don't mention these things, people, who doesn't have any selfish thoughts?" If it's me, I'm the same, okay, don't worry. ”

Zhang Anshi also knew it very well in his heart, and sneered: "Wait and see, it must be Zhu Zhanjun's kid who spread rumors and make trouble, others can't cure him, and they can't cure him?"

Who is he Zhang Anshi, it's good if he doesn't cause trouble, and there are still people who dare to find trouble for him again and again?

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui looked at each other.

Zhu Gaoxu said: "If there is an accident then, don't say that I said it." ”

Zhu Gaosui immediately said: "Fortunately, I didn't say anything, you have to remember clearly, this is what the second brother said." ”

More and more vassal kings entered the capital, and almost every vassal king brought hundreds of retinues and guards, and as few as seventy or eighty, so the capital became more and more noisy.

Zhang Anshi just listened to the words of King Han and King Zhao, and he was not angry at first, and there were fewer people who said bad things about him Zhang Anshi?

But then I thought about what happened at the beginning, I was really wronged, and gradually I became so angry that my teeth itched, and I didn't have any good mood anymore, so I didn't go to see other vassal kings in the past few days, and I was sick at home.

Until the day of his birthday, this disease could not be cured.

Zhang Anshi wore a python suit and entered the palace immediately.

The day was a long ceremony, and in the evening, when it was a little more relaxed, all the tired princes and princes were arranged in the newly built palace of the heirs.

Zhu Di ascended to the throne, and immediately a eunuch offered vegetables, fruits, water and wine.

The eunuchs began to sing the list.

Obviously, Zhu Di is still very concerned about birthday gifts.

"King Zhou Jin offered 300 catties of spices and 50 pairs of ivory" King Wu ...... "

Zhu Di's face was full of red light, and occasionally showed a little unpleasantness, and then his eyes glared at someone in the seat.

And that man can't help but show a look of shame.

It is said that the domain is overseas, but after more than ten years of development, there is actually a difference between the feudal state and the feudal state, some are rich, some are barren land, some have expanded their land for hundreds of miles, and some can barely control the range of a radius of 100 miles.

After all, everyone's ability is limited, but at this time, they can't help but blush.

"His Royal Highness King Zheng, offer 100 pairs of Japanese swords, 100 pairs of fine armor, and 30 ...... jade bibs"

Someone read the name of Zhu Zhanjun, King of Zheng.

Zhu Di heard that it was his grandson who paid tribute, but he also paid attention.

These birthday gifts are actually not valuable, but ..... Zhu Di still laughed and expressed his satisfaction.

After all, it's only been a year of hard work, and it's good to be able to gain a firm foothold, and it's good if you, the imperial grandfather, don't secretly subsidize some. Now people can still rush up to give gifts, which is rare.

After reading the gift list of Zheng Wang Zhu Zhanjun, Zhu Di couldn't help but say something, and said with a smile: "Good, good, good ......"

Saying three good words in a row is obviously a recognition of this grandson.

And Zhu Zhanjun was young, so he naturally sat behind his uncles, and when he heard the praise of the emperor's grandfather, he couldn't help but smile.

All the kings looked at this Zhu Zhanjun one after another, and when they saw that this junior was also very proud, they each smiled.

The atmosphere began to become cheerful.

"His Royal Highness King Yue...... His Royal Highness the King of Yue ......"

At this moment, all of a sudden, the eunuch seemed to be stuck.

Holding the new gift list, but a little unable to read it, if you look closer to the people, you can see that his hand holding the gift list is trembling slightly.

At this moment, he frightened the Yizha on the side.

This eunuch who specializes in singing ceremonies is carefully selected, and must not drop the chain, so where is the royal majesty?

Just when Zhu Di frowned.

The eunuch continued: "His Royal Highness the King of Yue, I will offer one hundred and eighty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight taels of silver.

As soon as these words came out, the temple suddenly fell silent. Everyone's faces changed suddenly, and they all looked unbelievable.

More than 1,880,000 taels of silver, which may be a lot of money for the current emperor, but it will not be shocking.

But for a vassal king, this is definitely a net worth, and the vast majority of vassal states, all year round, are afraid that they will not have this income.

What's more, even if it is reluctant, there are so many officials and troops in the palace up and down to feed, where can they squeeze out a year's income to give a birthday gift?

Isn't this full and holding on?

Immediately afterward, someone began to whisper. Yue Wang ......

It's Zhu Zhanyong, that kid.

Didn't this kid just become a feudal lord? Where did he get so much silver?

This kid is crazy, isn't he?

Zhu Di was full of surprise, and his mouth was a little closed for a while.

Of course, if he sent the silver directly, he was too late to be happy.

Here's the problem...... This seems unlikely, but more like a prank!
