Chapter 541: A Happy Event in Lujia Village
"The coal industry and the timber industry are prosperous, and the shipping department needs more workers, so that more people can find jobs and make money, and more people will benefit from it."
"And there's also the development of the silk industry, and the mulberry farmers are planting mulberry trees on a large scale, and they're benefiting from that."
"Yes, the Ming Dynasty is thriving now, and there are opportunities everywhere!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "And all of this was brought to Daming by Mr. Qin." ”
"To be precise, it's the result of focusing on business."
In my heart, I secretly said that the previous dynasty, how could there be such a prosperous scene?
The previous dynasty was like a pool of stagnant water, and the people lived by farming, which has not changed for thousands of years. And now the Ming Dynasty is like spring has arrived,
Saplings have grown everywhere, and a hundred flowers are blooming.
Hundreds of birds are singing in unison, full of life.
In the previous dynasties, the feudal aristocracy also lived by collecting tenants' rents. But now some of them have begun to make the switch, and they have begun to set their sights on more profitable business.
The people will be completely freed from their status as tenant farmers.
The reason why the Ming Dynasty has the current prosperity and the great changes in society is because the imperial court attaches great importance to commerce and trade.
It can be said that the entire economic market of the Ming Dynasty was opened up for trade and revitalized.
The change in the entire social structure is also due to the opening of commerce.
Some bloggers on the Internet say that valuing agriculture and suppressing business is the 'great wisdom' of ancient emperors......
Amusing.
The West did not focus on agriculture and suppress commerce, so they took the lead in entering modern civilization.
The backwardness of civilization led to the invasion of this land of China by foreign powers and suffered a century of humiliation. Is this called Great Wisdom? Great wisdom is the final result of being beaten?
It is also said that the germination of capital is evil.
Let people make money, let the people have enough to eat, and it has become all evil?
Doesn't make sense logically.
If you think about it with a little brain, you know that for the whole society, the development of business is only good and not bad.
Vigorously developing commerce will bring about another form of the law of the jungle - the 'exploitation and oppression' of employees by factory owners. But the exploitation of the workers by the factory owners is greater than the exploitation of the tenants by the landlords?
If you don't work in a factory, you can change factories, but if the tenants don't farm for the landlords, the tenants will starve to death, and the economic model of tenants and landlords makes the tenants' personal freedom almost to the bottom line. Moreover, what kind of loyalty and filial piety are still being preached by the ancient feudal dynasty, and the moral kidnapping makes them unable to leave their elderly parents at home, and what kind of road guidance system is being engaged......
At least the workers are free, but the cattle and horses are not free.
If you can make the bosses compete with each other, then this kind of law of the jungle is even more reasonable. They will pay their employees a fair salary until a balance is reached.
The Ming Dynasty is now promoting a natural society based on Taoism, which is what it wants. The country has never denied the existence of the weak, and it is the nature of wolves to eat sheep and eagles and catch chickens.
But also let the wolves, let the eagles have the pressure to survive. Let their individuals form a competitive relationship with each other.
This is in line with the way of heaven.
Now, all of you, you should understand the basic concept of building a country by virtue and a natural society.
The natural society of establishing a country with Taoism was not the first initiative of Qin Yu, but has existed since ancient times, and was engaged in it during the Yao Shunyu period. The advisor under Wang Mang said that it was the age of the sages in ancient times.
Unlike the utopian world conceived by some overseas philosophers, in the utopian world, there is no such thing as the jungle. That is unscientific, does not conform to the laws of nature, and does not conform to the way of heaven.
In any social form, the law of the jungle is inevitable.
But if there is a law of the jungle, it can conform to the laws of nature, just like the natural competition in nature...... Then this kind of law of the jungle is normal and in line with the way of heaven.
The law of the jungle in the form of capital has moved closer to natural competition. Because under the operation of capital, there is very little human intervention, and the feudal landlord economy is full of human intervention.
The more scientific the economy, the less human factors intervene.
Let the market regulate itself, and the market will regulate everything.
It's the same with society.
It's like the biota of nature, under natural selection, they can develop and reproduce very well on their own. Any intervention by human beings, who are like gods in their eyes, will bring disaster to them.
Without human intervention, the natural ecology has developed for hundreds of millions of years.
But since the advent of humans, how many species in the world have become extinct because of humans?
The economy of the privileged class is equivalent to the rest of the animals.
Too much government intervention in the economy is equivalent to a 'god-like person' disturbing the natural ecology of a certain biological group.
Of course, many people actually understand this truth, and they also know that they are not good at intervening. But they need ivory for tachyon, and wolf skin for clothing......
The slave society is the period of refining gas, the feudal society is the foundation period, and the capital is the Jindan period.
The development of commerce and trade is equivalent to the cultivation of the Ming Dynasty to a great realm.
……
"And, in a sense. The prosperity of the shipbuilding industry and the prosperity of the silk industry in the Ming Dynasty are all brought by steam turbines. Zhu Yuanzhang said sincerely,
He, an ancient, can also deeply understand the power of science and technology at this moment.
"yes." Queen Ma said, "And the steam turbine was also invented by Mr. ”
"So he is a pillar of the southern sky of the Ming Dynasty, a god-like existence." Queen Ma Road.
……
Three days later.
Lujia Village.
The whole village became a sea of flowers.
The wedding banquet was held on time, and all the villagers came to congratulate Qin Yu, and the scene was very lively. In the small village of Lujia Village, there are no ministers of civil and military affairs.
There are only simple villagers.
The sedan chair man carried the bride in from outside the village with eight sedan chairs, which attracted many children's onlookers. The adults greeted them at the intersection, and for a time the sound of gongs and drums and firecrackers shook the sky.
Child brides were very popular in ancient times, and they were generally not fanfare.
However, it was the treatment of child daughters-in-law of poor families, not the emperor's family.
"Congratulations, Mr. Hexi!"
"Congratulations to the village chief, the village chief's wife."
The sound of congratulations is endless.
"Rejoice, rejoice!" Zhu Yuanzhang happily signaled to the villagers. In front of the ministers, he had to wear a mask and intrigue with the ministers.
However, in the village of Lujia Village, there is no vanity fair.
Let him feel that only here is the real festivity.
He was originally a farmer, and he could easily get along with the villagers, so it was natural that he didn't seem discordant at all. is not like some emperors in the TV series who have private interviews, and they don't pretend to be ordinary people.
If he hadn't been righteous back then, his current rural life would be his future.
Of course, if he had not been the emperor, the peasants would definitely not have lived as peaceful and happy as they do now.
