Chapter 64 Zhu Yuanzhang's Ideological Realm

It's just that these thoughts can't be spoken.

Just don't say it. Zhu Yuanzhang can't see it? Of course, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes. The prince is still the soft-hearted and good boy he was back then. But I don't know. The crown prince has changed a lot. From this point of view, Zhu Yunwen in history is actually very much like the crown prince. It's just that it is several levels lower in all aspects, and there is no shortage of means to be lenient to the outside world. It becomes hypocrisy and cruelty.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the prince had a knot. But what exactly does the inside think. But I can't guess it.

After all, people's hearts are separated from their bellies.

Zhu Yuanzhang discussed the Japanese war with Xu Da again. Let Xu Da go down and arrange it.

For a time, only Zhu Yuanzhang and the crown prince were left in the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang sent the others away. said, "You know, why do I have to fight Japan?"

The prince said, "The imperial court needs gold and silver from Japan. One is to extinguish this great calamity for the generations to come, and the other is to extinguish this great calamity."

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "There is."

The prince pondered and said, "To open a passage with the Americas?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "It's all, but it's not the most important thing."

The prince said, "The son is dull, and he asks his father for guidance."

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "In just this period of time, you have learned so much. It's already pretty good. The reason why I want to do this is to support the industry in Liaodong."

The prince was stunned, although he studied a lot of books in later generations. But the most studied. It is still the history of the Ming Dynasty, especially the Zhu Di Dynasty. In particular, it was difficult for four years. Almost every person with a name on it has been speculated and investigated.

For other aspects, read as well. But it didn't take much effort.

The prince pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said, "Son, I don't understand."

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "I only understood it during this period of time. Industry, which cannot be viewed independently, is a branch of the whole system. You can't just learn about industry. This is also the market behind it. Capital. Bank. A system supporting everything must be there. Otherwise, it will only make things, but it is just a Westernization movement. It's a dead machine, not a living industry."

"There's a lot of stuff in here that I can't understand. It's too jerky. But compared with He Xi's many things in Liaodong, he also understood a lot. In the first half of the year, there was a lot going on in the south. Unable to spare his hands, coupled with the severe drought in the north, he could not spare money and food, and now the drought in the north has eased. There are even some sweet potatoes grown in many places. People are hungry this winter. After May next year, it will be relieved. There is no need to go further north to allocate food. Plus Qingzhang. We also have some capital in our hands. It is preparing to put into Liaodong. Think about it, with its appropriation. It's better to procure. Weapons in the army, clothing. Ships, rations. And even the rest of the sundries, the fire sickle in the hand. Cloth shoes on the feet. can be purchased in Liaodong. So, the North needs a big battle, even several big battles."

Zhu Yuanzhang only knew that the Korean War had revived Japanese industry. But only literally. I don't understand why. But I observed He Xi's various actions. I also personally checked the account books of Liaodong. He came to a conclusion.

Actually, Nanyang market. Even the so-called overseas market is limited.

Today, in the whole world, there are only five or six hundred million people in total. This is even overestimated, and more than 100 million of them are in Daming. Daming surrounding Japan, Goryeo, Annam. Java. Siam. Myanmar, Thailand. The whole of East Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia. It's probably a big market of two or three hundred million, or even more.

The population is so there. How much demand can have.

And the per capita income of Nanyang, Southeast Asia, Tianzhu and other places. A large group of people. No, arguably the vast majority of people. It has nothing to do with Daming goods. After all, these people are slaves, and slaves may not even have private property. Not to mention consumption and markets.

Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang decide to turn the money originally invested in He Xi into the money for procurement. What to source. Fighting a war is the most costly.

However, it was a direct call-up before. A lot of things are prepared by the guards. It became a court purchase.

If it comes, Liaodong can really get out of the embarrassment

Relief comes out.

The prince said, "Father is wise. But now I'm worried. The book says that the economic crisis of capitalism will occur once in a dozen years, or even less. Erchen really didn't understand. Look at such crises, it is simply too frequent. Once it is not handled well, it will be a big mess in the world. It's too unsafe." Z.br>

"My father wanted to develop Western studies and establish industry. Do you really have to learn this dangerous method?"

"I have produced many sages in China, haven't I found a new way?"

Zhu Yuanzhang squinted at the crown prince, and said in a strange manner: "There is a new way, but His Royal Highness the crown prince, is he willing to give up everything and join the camp of overthrowing the feudal dynasty and oppressing capital."

This sentence almost choked the prince to death.

The royal family is the biggest representative of the feudal dynasty. It's so funny to overthrow yourself yourself.

The crown prince can't even let go of the throne inheritance. Not to mention that tomorrow is falling.

The prince immediately said, "The son lost his words."

Zhu Yuanzhang heard the prince say this, and he was actually a little disappointed.

After Zhu Yuanzhang was baptized by He Xi, he was able to jump out of the time and space of the Ming Dynasty and look at the problem with a longer-term vision. He actually didn't mind promoting socialist ideas. Introducing a new saint. Or even break the old world. Build a new world.

Isn't this what Zhu Yuanzhang has been doing?

Isn't the twenty-first year of Hongwu a new world compared to twenty or thirty years ago?

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang didn't do this was not because he didn't want to. Rather, it can't. Historical limitations, social reality are placed here. It's not that he, Zhu Yuanzhang, can do whatever he wants. What era does what the things of the era. If you do not conform to the laws of history, you will end up harming others and yourself.

And the crown prince is obvious. Too conservative. It's just an old lady with small feet.

Zhu Yuanzhang had another layer of worry about the arrangements behind him. He suddenly said, "How did Ding Xian arrange it?"

The prince was stunned for a moment and said, "I have already returned to my hometown with gold."

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "What do you think of the official report?"

The prince said, "Excellent."

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Since that is excellent. Let's let the non-governmental newspaper run it."

The prince didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking for a while. He hesitated for a moment and said, "Father, something like this just happened, let go of the ban. Isn't that good?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Then when do you think you will let go?"

The prince suddenly stopped talking.

In the eyes of the prince, why let go? Why do you want the private sector to run a newspaper? This is clearly a decentralization. The prince has seen the power of the newspaper system and the importance of the right of public opinion. This kind of power is not only to be possessed, but also to be suppressed. How can you let it go?

Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Then now." Immediately pulled a piece of paper and wrote four words: The history of the white-clothed emperor. handed it to the prince and said, "Give it to Ding Xian." Let him run a newspaper in Beijing. Molds for others."

Zhu Yuanzhang carefully analyzed what He Xi did in Liaodong and compared it with the books he had at hand. Some understand, some don't. But there was one more thing, and he really understood.

That is the society of the future, and it is necessary to gather the strength of all people. There is a limit to one's wisdom. Therefore, the authoritarian system and the high-pressure system are only a plan for contingency, and they do not know a long-term strategy. He looks extremely uncomfortable with so-called democratic politics. In fact, with the traditional court, widely open the way of speech, and so on. There is a connotation.

It's inevitable.

Because one person's wisdom wants to suppress the wisdom of all others, that is, tyranny. It will only be the result of one person destroying others. Because, there are strong players in the strong. No. 1 in the world, this position, I don't know how to sit so well.

The best way to keep the supreme position. It's not about getting stronger on your own. It's about making other people weak.

This may be the fundamental reason why China lagged behind the West during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Although the so-called autocratic system of rule began to sprout from the Southern Song Dynasty, the Yuan Dynasty developed. But it was he Zhu Yuanzhang who really established it.

Now that this is recognized. Zhu Yuanzhang naturally wants to make it

Change. He understands that the release of the ban will cause him great trouble. But he was more worried, and he didn't let go. Generations after them will not let go.
