Chapter 162, Dead End

In fact, silk is a high-end product from ancient times to the present, and even the price of silk fabrics in later generations will not be too cheap. It is important to know that biotechnology has made great progress, and silk production has increased greatly. It's still like this. Not to mention antiquity.

This is why cotton later became the absolute backbone of the textile industry, rather than silk.

Although most of the weavers in Suzhou produce silk, it does not mean that there is no cotton cloth. Although there are still great restrictions on the cotton cloth industry in Liaodong, in general, machine textile cloth is better than manual weaving.

The concept that hand-produced goods are better than machine-produced items is actually a marketing concept that is produced after the materials are abundant. But in fact, industrial products beat handicraft products, relying not only on low price, but also on good quality.

In addition, the Nanyang market is actually very limited. Although it is said that most of the people in Nanyang actually don't wear clothes. The people who really wear clothes are all dignitaries, although the potential market in Nanyang is huge. But in reality, there is not much purchasing power.

As the largest competition in the overseas market, it will also be fed back to Suzhou. Not to mention, although He Xi requires that the vast majority of materials are not allowed to be sold in China, not to mention, the market is connected, even if these materials are not sold in China, in fact, it will affect the country.

So, the two must have an impact.

Now, it is impossible to judge the extent to which this impact has been profound.

Yes, the two sides are about to break up and cannot coexist? It still makes some people feel the pain of the skin and can't bear it. It will still affect many local problems, and these problems cannot be solved by the local gentry and officials, but want to pass on the contradictions.

In other words, these problems are all there, mixed together, but to different degrees.

He Xi and Yao Guangxiao sat opposite each other and were silent for a while.

He Xi said, "Brother Yao, what is the way to break the situation now?"

Yao Guangxiao said: "The way of the art of war, ten surround it, ten encircle it, five attack it, and divide it by multiplier, the enemy can fight, if you are less, you can escape, and if you don't, you can avoid it. Therefore, the small enemy is strong, and the big enemy is captured."

"In the imperial court, I don't know how many means, speaking of the sky, in fact, the essence is the same. Since His Majesty ascended the throne, he has actually realized that winning the hearts of the people can win the world, and winning the hearts of Shilin can settle the world. It's easy to fight the world, but it's not easy to sit in the world."

"Your Majesty started from the end of the small and knew the sufferings of the people, so he was able to gain the strength of the soldiers. And since His Majesty ascended the throne, for so many years, there have been constant turmoil, and it is His Majesty who wants to make the world Shilin submit, and Shilin despises His Majesty. A Confucian student only needs to kill a soldier, but the world is corrupt, but it is not so easy to deal with. Adults have been in the office, but they have been in the office for more than ten years, and then the ministers of the DPRK and the central government, there are not a few people who have been in the office for 30 years. Now that His Majesty is here, His Majesty is suppressing these people. Once His Majesty is gone, the adults will not have to face one person. Above the officialdom, seniority has always been discussed. Adults, although this family background seems to be a lot, but compared with these people, it is only eleven. Among the nobles, the veterans withered, and now there are only three people, including Wei Guogong, Song Guogong, and Yingguo Gong, and everyone else can't control the field. As for their heirs, it is not worth mentioning at all, if even these three support the adults. But after these three people walked by, I don't think adults can support the situation."

"The situation in the world is like this, and it is not a crime of war."

He Xi rubbed his brows and pondered Yao Guangxiao's words.

Among them, the impression of modern China is completely opposite to that of ancient China, and if we use the political map to distinguish it, ancient China was rightist and conservative most of the time. This is also the characteristic of China, because in the era when the productive forces are not developed, maintaining a huge empire has already consumed countless manpower and material resources, and consumed countless people's ingenuity. Coupled with Confucianism and advocating retro, it is true that the vast majority of the gentry are actually conservatives, and they are resistant to changing the law or something. What they support most is the ancestral family law.

This is very realistic.

Zhu Yuanzhang used his authority to endorse He Xi, and it is impossible to change the minds of so many people, and even in the eyes of many people,

This is still the truth. It's as if the change of law has caused a lot of social problems.

It is difficult to accept the disadvantages of changing the law, and to turn a blind eye to the benefits of it.

Because, in the eyes of many people, no matter how great the benefits are, they are not as good as the stable and prosperous era and the unified court pattern.

After removing Zhu Yuanzhang's endorsement, the enemy He Xi faced was very powerful.

But even so, the enemy He Xi faced was not the most powerful era. After all, the destruction of the scholars in the Yuan Dynasty was also quite large. The really backbone scholars and doctors actually died at the end of the Song Dynasty. It is a huge blow to Chinese civilization and even to Confucianism.

Therefore, the strength of Shilin is too different from that of the Song Dynasty and even the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

It's just that the balance of power between the two sides in the court is still huge.

Wang Anshi and Zhang Juzheng are all heroes in the world, and in politics, they are much more powerful than He Xi. But what happened to them? And the reason for this fate is not that they are not strong enough, but that the enemy is too strong.

He Xi is facing the same problem today.

He Xi said in a dull voice, "In this way, I can only wait to be killed."

Yao Guangxiao was rarely a little hesitant, and the way he wanted to speak and stopped was looked at by He Xi.

He Xi said, "Brother Yao, when is it? You don't have to spit it out."

Yao Guangxiao said, "Although I have a foolish plan, I am afraid that you will not dare to adopt it."

He Xi said, "You say. You don't have to use me."

Yao Guangxiao said: "The way of using soldiers is nothing more than to attack the short with the long, and avoid the real and the weak. Attacking the enemy's shortcomings with my strengths, if I am above the court, I have no way. Even if the new monarch in the future is the eldest grandson of the emperor, on the one hand, it is a change, and on the other hand, it is his own status, how do you think the eldest grandson of the emperor will choose?"

He Xi said irritably, "Let's get to the point."

He Xi didn't want to face this topic, but he also knew that Zhu Xiongying would definitely choose his own throne.

People who have been rolling in politics for a long time do not believe in human nature. Zhu Yuanzhang is like this, and He Xi is also like this. He is also unwilling to use reality to test what Zhu Xiongying's heart is.

The emperor is hardly reliable.

The cooperation between Wang Anshi and Song Shenzong is already good. But Wang Anshi was finally dismissed.

Yao Guangxiao said: "If the battlefield is not above the imperial court, it may not be impossible to win."

He Xi was stunned for a moment and said, "What do you mean?"

Yao Guangxiao did not answer directly, but said, "You know, why does the world value agriculture over business?" Without waiting for He Xi to speak, he asked himself and said, "It is because of the lesson of Zhou Qin, Zhou is a farmer of merchants, and merchants are actually not good at farming, but more proficient in trade, otherwise there will be no name of merchants in later generations. But Zhou can break the business, and compared with the Six Kingdoms, Qin is too boring, only ploughing and fighting. However, Qin swept the world. Since then, everyone in the world understands one thing, those who re-cultivate the war will win the world. This pattern has been until now. are all applicable. During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Guanzhong's agriculture was launched, although the Tang Dynasty had a relationship with China, and then there was a world, and now after His Majesty raised an army, it is the first important thing in the world to accumulate grain, and there is a national policy of accumulating grain."

"If there is enough food, the soldiers will naturally be fine, if there is enough food, the people will be naturally safe, and if there is enough food, the world will be naturally peaceful. The people live on food."

"There is such a series of lessons, why do you think that people in the world think that what you are doing is not doing your job, although it seems good, but in fact, it is a showmanship."

"My lord, in order to truly make the people of the world change their minds, what is needed is not to argue in the court, not to write books and biographies, and to quote the words of the ancient sages. After all, these are all imaginary, Liu Xiang didn't study, and the ministers above the court, if Fang Xiaoru was like an adult, he would be a minority. How many people just admit reality, not the pie that is drawn."

He Xi already vaguely felt what Yao Guangxiao was going to say. He was a little excited, a little frightened, and said, "What do you mean-----
