When I arrived at the palace, it was past nine o'clock.

Lao Zhu had already started a busy day in the East Pavilion on the left side of Fengtianmen, and when he saw Zhu Yuan's 'carving' that people moved in, his first reaction was to frown: "This is what you asked people to touch the dark yesterday...... Such a luxurious and ingenious thing......"

I knew it was the reaction.

Zhu Yuan first handed the thick stack of documents he brought with him to Lao Zhu: "Ancestor, this is the 'debriefing report' that Yuan'er mentioned before, I have been too busy recently, and I have to consult and quote various data, and it was finally completed yesterday." ”

Lao Zhu's attention was immediately diverted, put down the pen in his hand, and picked up the 'debriefing report' that was dozens of pages long.

Opened.

The first page is the table of contents.

These include the main directories of 'Environmental Overview', 'Work Objectives', 'Problem Dilemma', 'Completed Projects', 'Ongoing Projects', 'Follow-up Prospects', 'Deficiencies', and many sub-directories under the main directory for easy understanding.

Seeing that Lao Zhu was about to be immersed in it in a blink of an eye, Zhu Yuan had to interrupt: "Ancestor, about this moment ...... missing"

Lao Zhu waved his hand: "Don't mention it, if you like it, move home." ”

Zhu Yuan: "......"

I still have to interrupt again: "Ancestor, this report is very long, you have time to read it again in private, this moment is also very important, in addition, Yuan'er has some other things to talk to you about." ”

Lao Zhu reluctantly raised his head, and then glanced at the moment, with impatience in disgust: "Let's talk about it." ”

Zhu Yuan then called the leak in front of him is actually a variety of related to the clock and watch to talk about it in detail, from the internal mechanical structure to the wide range of uses of yellow steel, and so on, and finally said: "Not to mention anything else, ancestors, as long as you can make a batch of this kind of accurate leakage, and the time is accurate to the second, I asked the craftsman yesterday, it can be done, and when the time comes, the problem of measuring longitude before can be solved." To achieve this, we can also carry out more accurate mapping of the land of the Ming Dynasty. Then there is navigation, the same reason, with an accurate time reference, and then can determine the latitude and longitude coordinates, in addition to a clearer sea voyage distance, we can also determine the speed of the sea vessel and other information, these data, the Ming management of the ocean is very important. ”

Hearing the end, Lao Zhu couldn't stop nodding, as his horizons continued to broaden, he also understood more and more what Zhu Yuan said about many seemingly inconspicuous little things actually meant, and when his baby twenty-third grandson finished speaking, he affirmed: "What do you think, just let it go, it's all Zhongshu Pingzhang, Zhongshu and all departments are at your disposal." ”

"This is another thing that Yuan'er wants to say to his ancestors today," Zhu Yuan said: "If you want to accomplish this, a large number of professional talents are the foundation, and if you want to get enough talents, you still have to build a school." Ancestors, Yuan'er suggested that another Jinling University of Technology should be set up to train top craftsmen in many fields, such as smelting, engineering, machinery, shipbuilding, water conservancy, and so on. ”

Lao Zhu nodded habitually, but said, "This ...... Again, I agree to run the school, that's all...... Isn't Jinling University also going to set up corresponding majors, can you repeat it? ”

"Ancestors, on the one hand, talent is never enough, in the future generations to achieve industrialization, there are tens of millions of college graduates every year, how many of us are now? On the other hand......" Zhu Yuan subconsciously looked left and right, and there were no outsiders here, so he continued: "One more school, one more differentiation, and one more group of talents from different circles." This actually means the right to choose for the ancestors and the emperors of later generations. In the process of correspondence before, Yuan'er and Zushang roughly mentioned it, but I didn't say it too clearly, to put it simply, Zushang, I think, in the last life, it was because you reused Confucianism too much in the past few decades, and even later repeated the mistakes of the Song Dynasty, the emperor who should be at the helm of the world was confined to the deep palace by the civil officials, even if the big car of the country went astray, the emperor wanted to reverse, and the civil officials who were completely in a group resolutely dragged their feet, and the result was that they could only let this big car turn into the ditch. ”

"I understand that you are reasonable, and you have corrected it every day," Lao Zhu nodded again: "You ...... University of Technology, tell me more? ”

"Since it is a technical university, one of the biggest characteristics is that it mainly recruits the children of artisan households," Zhu Yuan said: "It is said that Shinong industry and commerce should be on an equal footing, but in fact, the so-called 'Shinong industry and commerce' is a sort, and the current artisan household, after the scholar and the farmer, is no different from the slaves, but it is not as rich as the last businessman." This is not right. If we want to achieve industrialization, in the future, the word "worker" must at least truly be equal to or even surpass "shi". Because, from the perspective of 'economics', 'work' can often exert higher productivity than 'shi', and at the same time, 'work' can also replace the work of 'shi' to a certain extent, or even do better, because they are professional. For example, if you are engaged in smelting, let a Confucian scholar who does not distinguish between grains and grains be the master of the workshop, and let an experienced master master be the master, the result will definitely be different. ”

"Also, the problem of the community. The ancestors raised the status of craftsmen, and they must be grateful to the imperial court. That's one thing. On the other hand, even if this industrial university is opened, the Four Books and Five Classics still have to be studied, and the etiquette cannot be abolished, but the weight can be completely compressed, so that they can continue to maintain a relatively pure craftsman identity. Future...... The top craftsmen, promoted to the Chinese book, compared with Confucianism, they will only recognize their status as craftsmen more, which will form a balance, and even containment. Thinking about it a little later, in the future, if the Confucian scholars are disobedient, they will use craftsmen, and then extend a little, heh, even if it is the medical school, it is not that there are no available talents, the first two are disobedient, and it is not that they cannot use doctors who have been educated for many years and are also knowledgeable. ”

"This is the right to choose," Zhu Yuan concluded, "and if you do this, your ancestors will no longer have to use eunuchs more and more like they once did, and even the descendants of future generations will do the same." Speaking of which, compared with the Han and Tang dynasties, although the number of eunuchs in the Ming Dynasty is huge, the harm is the least, but because they actually represent the imperial power, they are competing for power with the civil officials, and as a result, they have been smeared by the civil officials who have the right to speak for hundreds of years, and they are often framed by the eunuch party. ”

"Hmm...... deviated," Zhu Yuan stopped in time and summarized to Lao Zhu: "In short, it is two things, the establishment of Jinling University of Technology, one is to 'cultivate talents', and the other is to 'provide choices'. ”

Lao Zhu could only nod: "You ......"

Zhu Yuan smiled: "This is a heartfelt word, tearing off those high-sounding grandiose, ancestors, if it weren't for a family, Yuan'er wouldn't dare to talk nonsense." ”

Lao Zhu also laughed, pondered for a moment, and found the one that had a flash of inspiration before: "What you just said...... The right to speak? ”

"Right to speak," Zhu Yuan nodded, seeing that old Zhu was thinking, he suddenly reacted, and habitually patted the horse and said: "The ancestor is really wise, and he has grasped the key to a matter." ”

Lao Zhu grinned: "You kid...... You, let's talk about this carefully. ”

Zhu Yuan groaned slightly, thinking briefly.

Lao Zhu also found that his baby twenty-third grandson was still standing, and pointed to the chair opposite: "Sit, sit down and think, you can't stand with this body." ”

Zhu Yuan was not polite, pulled over a chair, sat directly opposite Lao Zhu's book, and simply took a charcoal pen from the book holder, took the paper, and began to consider writing.

Seeing this, Lao Zhu did not urge, and looked down at the 'debriefing report'.

And so it was half an hour.

When Lao Zhu liked it more and more, he only read a few pages, and was already thinking about printing and distributing this report as a kind of template, Zhu Yuan finally spoke again: "Ancestor ......"

Lao Zhu reluctantly raised his head: "Well, you say." ”

Zhu Yuan put down the charcoal, looked at some key words on the paper again, and said, "Let's start with an example." ”

Lao Zhu, who really wanted to split himself in half and concentrate on two things, hesitated slightly, but temporarily let go of the debriefing report in his hand and looked up.

Zhu Yuan said: "Yuan'er and his ancestors said that the year of the Common Era, this year is 1368, um...... At this point, when we are free, we should also make a chronicle, and there will be a chronicle of the Yellow Emperor in later generations, I happen to remember it...... The year 1911 is the year 4609 of the Yellow Emperor. ”

After another fork, Zhu Yuan said back to the topic: "This year is 1368, mentioning this is a reference, what I want to say is that between 1950 and 1990 AD, the two most powerful countries in the world competed for hegemony. ”

Subsequently, it took half an hour to roughly explain the relevant history of the US-Soviet struggle for hegemony that Zhu Yuan could remember.

It also spends a lot of space talking about the public opinion war between the two sides.

This is also a struggle between the East and the West for the right to speak.

Finally, Zhu Yuan said: "The root cause of the collapse of the Soviet Union is that there are serious problems in the 'national economy', with insufficient productive forces and serious imbalances in distribution. However, as the second most powerful country in the world at that time, the Soviet Union was inferior to the top and the bottom...... But it's more than enough. Moreover, if reasonable reforms are carried out, there is not a chance for a revival. However, because the last leader of the Soviet Union mistakenly believed in the West, not only carried out completely anachronistic economic reforms, but also opened up the domestic public opinion position, allowing Westerners to enter and seize the right to speak, the result is that under the continuous smearing of the West, this country, denying its own history, denying its own heroes, denying its own beliefs, and even, denying everything it has, is obviously the second most powerful country in the world, but it is fooled to think that everything about itself is wrong, and then, It just collapsed. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuan paused for a short time, and then said: "This is just the beginning, after the collapse of the country, the former Soviets, only to understand what is the real hell, in the following years, their country's currency depreciated into waste paper, countless people died of hunger, a large number of people fled abroad, men do the dirtiest and most tiring work, women have become the most popular prostitutes in the West, remember there is a word, called 'Ukrainian girl', well, this is one of the most unlucky countries after the division of the Soviet Union, so I won't expand it." Also, the powerful army that was once enough to bulldoze the West has also disappeared because of the collapse of the country. All this, to a large extent, is due to the loss of the right to speak. ”

Lao Zhu listened quietly, digested for a moment, and found a problem: "This ...... Why didn't the Soviet Union turn around and snatch the right to speak? I mean, don't you...... Or is this America, this West, better? ”

Zhu Yuan said with a smile: "The ancestor has found another key. ”

Lao Zhu grinned.

Too lazy to scold.

Zhu Yuan restrained his expression and said: "This is one of the easiest questions to criticize, why can't the East snatch the right to speak from the West, because the West is richer and has more good things, which makes the East naturally in a weak position psychologically." ”

Lao Zhu nodded slightly.

Zhu Yuan shook his head: "But, this is wrong. ”

Lao Zhu was puzzled.

Zhu Yuan said: "Ancestor, Yuan'er gives you the most vivid analogy, comparing those countries to people, then, according to the previous logic, I can say: the rich are all right, all are good, all are kind, and all are civilized; The poor are all wrong, all bad, all evil, all foolish. This...... Ancestor, can you agree? ”

Lao Zhu suddenly remembered his origin, and bared his teeth: "Nonsense......"

Zhu Yuan said: "Look, a certain logic just now, such a comparison, was immediately cracked." Of course, the rich will not all be good, and the poor will certainly not all be bad. However, between countries, it is easy to use this logic to bully the right to speak: because I am a rich country, of course I am good, civilized, and civilized. And you, since you are a poor country, of course you are evil, otherwise, why am I rich and you are poor? ”

"Crooked!"

"Of course it's a fallacy," Zhu Yuan said: "And it's a fallacy that has no causal relationship at all, but, rich countries against poor countries, rich people against poor people, often can have this kind of fallacy level of crushing, just a rhetorical question is enough: Why am I rich and you are poor?" Then give the result: because I'm good enough, you're bad enough. ”

Lao Zhu felt that he couldn't listen to it: "You ...... The clever tongue is like yellow, if it weren't for my grandson, you would be beaten. ”

Zhu Yuan was not afraid, but continued to add: "But, in fact, the truth is often the opposite. Ancestor, here, Yuan'er wants to advise you again, history has always been a hero of success or failure, not a hero of good or bad. Henceforth...... In order to make our Ming Dynasty an absolutely rich country that occupies the right to speak in natural public opinion, I may suggest doing a lot of things that look bad in the world, but don't worry, as long as you do it, you will only be the greatest emperor in Chinese history. Oh, just like Genghis Khan, ancestor, do you know, hundreds of years later, until 1950, there was only one Eastern military strategist recognized by the West, Genghis Khan, do you know why? ”

Lao Zhu blurted out: "It's over there." ”

Zhu Yuan nodded: "However, what the ancestors may not know is that according to later statistics, the Mongolian army slaughtered 100 million people in the process of conquering the world. ”

Lao Zhu was suddenly surprised.

This number ......

The current Ming Dynasty has a population of about 50 million.

It's equivalent to two Ming!

Zhu Yuan said: "Look, this is the capital of Genghis Khan recognized by the West. The truth is like this, killing one person is a crime, and killing ten thousand people is a hero. If you kill enough people, no one will say that you are cruel and will praise you. As for right or wrong, who cares? Success or failure is the key. ”
