"In addition, Sir doesn't have to focus only on the benefits of the world!"

"And when you know, commodity trading is not only for the convenience of the people to get what they need, but also for the benefit of production."

"For example, this Aoshan fireworks and lantern festival is ostensibly to see hundreds of thousands of silver, but there will be more people who go into the city to sell all kinds of goods, and it will increase a lot of business taxes."

"Once the Aoshan Lantern Festival and fireworks lantern festival are no longer held, the flow of people will drop sharply, and the number of merchants selling all kinds of goods will also drop sharply, so the production of paper and saltpeter near Gyeonggi will be affected."

"Commercially, the impact on the tariffs is only not inferior to the cost of a Aoshan fireworks and lantern festival, and this is not to mention, how many craftsmen and small traders and hawkers who rely on this for a living will reduce their income, and it will affect the matter of Ding Yin next year."

Seeing this, Zhu Yijun took the initiative to speak again.

What Zhu Yijun said is indeed the truth.

The entertainment life of the common people is basically difficult to associate with luxury, after all, their own financial resources are limited.

Even if you gamble and drink, it is difficult to make money every day, even if you listen to books and watch country operas every day, it is just a few copper plates, and most of them are just shouting and singing.

Because of this, Zhu Yijun, who came from later generations, because he has a better understanding of the bottom and which class is the main class of luxury consumption, still does not think that banning the Aoshan fireworks and lantern festival can bring much benefit to frugality.

Zhu Yijun even believes that the Aoshan fireworks and lantern festival can enrich the entertainment life of the people, help promote the prosperity of commercial transactions, and increase the income of a group of lantern-making craftsmen.

What's more, for the imperial court, the official money spent is actually not much, and it really can't compare to the cost of holding a grand ceremony.

The imperial court can also make money back through taxes because of the increase in trading volume.

And if you really want to be thrifty, it's almost the same to do it to the powerful and gentry.

Originally, the increase in the income and consumption scale of the common people in the Ming Dynasty was far less than the consumption scale and income increase of the powerful gentry.

Therefore, we can't just let the powerful officials and gentry spend money everywhere and their homes like land to listen to prostitutes, and even fight for wealth compared to treasures, and the people are not even allowed to watch the fireworks and lanterns, so that the people are really like cattle and horses, but can only eat, give birth to children and work, and read the books of sages and sages, but can not have entertainment.

In this way, it will only cause the people to lack spirit and lack of desire to consume.

In this way, how can we talk about work enthusiasm?

What's more, it will make it more difficult for the people to generate the concept of the state, and it will be difficult for them to realize that the prosperity is related to themselves.

It is not possible for the people to realize that the Ming Dynasty is strong, at least the imperial court and government can let themselves get greater spiritual satisfaction in culture and entertainment.

In this way, the common people will have a deeper sense of the orthodoxy of the imperial dynasty, and thus the cult can be curbed from taking advantage of the spiritual deprivation of the people and spreading it unscrupulously.

Therefore, if extravagance is really to be restricted, it should be forbidden for the powerful and wealthy doctors to be extravagant, and heavy taxes should be imposed on those who bid for famous prostitutes and antiques at high prices.

Appropriately holding some national cultural activities for the common people is conducive to allowing the people to have the concept of a monarch and a state.

Zhu Yijun also said to Zhang Juzheng that the foolish people would give the cult an opportunity to take advantage of, which was not conducive to the common people having the concept of the monarch of the country: "What does Mr. think now? Father, father, do you really want the people to know that there is a king, but not a father? ”

Zhang Juzheng heard Zhu Yijun say this at this time, and his body couldn't help trembling slightly.

And Zhu Yijun continued to ask: "Sir, do you really want the people to be easily used by cults and fallacies because of ignorance, and don't know the need to be loyal to the king?" ”

"Even if you read the book, because you only know the words of the sage, you are so broad that you don't understand the practice, so that in the future, there will be more forcible and plundering, and you don't know how to resist, you only know how to obey?"

"Even if you study and become a scholar, when you encounter this situation, you only know how to go to the books of the sages and ask the sages for answers, but you don't know how to speak?"

Zhang Juzheng was about to explain: "Your Majesty, minister." ”

Zhu Yijun didn't wait for Zhang Juzheng to explain, so he preemptively continued: "Even the king only knows how to control the people, but does not know how to take precautions, and he doesn't know that he has to consider increasing profits for the people at the beginning, so he finally has to embark on the road of reforming again to save the country, but because there are more and more pedantic rich and noble, and the resistance to reform is much greater than before, which leads to the worse and worse the reform, and thus dies quickly?" ”

After Zhu Yijun finished speaking, he said: "I said something that Mr. doesn't like, in terms of the understanding of human desire and heavenly reason, Mr. is not as good as Gao Gong!" ”

Zhang Juzheng heard Zhu Yijun say this, and suddenly knelt down towards Zhu Yijun: "Shameful!" I dare not persuade Your Majesty to restrain the powerful and gentry with the virtue of a saint, but only dare to persuade Your Majesty to discipline yourself and even control the people with the virtue of a saint. ”

"Your Majesty has been disappointed!"

After Zhang Juzheng said a word, he fell to the ground with an elephant wat bow.

Zhu Yijun hurriedly got up and helped Zhang Juzheng up: "Sir, don't say that!" In my heart, Mr. has been a rare teacher and virtuous minister in ancient and modern times. ”

Zhu Yijun said to Zhang Juzheng and said carefully: "I sincerely treat my husband as a teacher, not a minister who can drive scolding!" ”

"Therefore, Mr. does not have to have this idea, I and Mr. are both monarchs and ministers and teachers and students of the same way, and there is no disappointment, only the discussion and inheritance of knowledge, but although I respect Mr., I respect the right way to govern the country!"

"Therefore, please also understand that I am not arguing with Mr., but discussing the right way to govern the country!"

Historically, Zhu Yijun did not dare to question Zhang Juzheng.

Only Zhang Juzheng educated Zhu Yijun.

But in this life, Zhu Yijun will always use his identity as a king to question Zhang Juzheng.

Because the current Zhu Yijun is not psychologically influenced by Empress Dowager Li and Feng Bao, but respects and fears Zhang Juzheng, he is respectful and fearful of Zhang Juzheng, and he dares to question Zhang Juzheng whenever he has a disagreement, and even forces Zhang Juzheng to change his will.

Up to now, Zhu Yijun has begun to talk about Gao Gong in front of Zhang Juzheng.

Therefore, Zhang Juzheng did not have the confidence to educate the emperor in front of Zhu Yijun as in history, and even had a lot of fear of the king, and the feeling of accompanying the king like a tiger.

After all, although Zhu Yijun said that he would not liquidate him, he always showed disappointment in him openly and secretly.

Before Weifu went out to inspect the orchid, he sarcastically said that Zhang Juzheng only allowed himself to be lustful, and did not mention the emperor's lust.

Now, Zhu Yijun insinuated that Zhang Juzheng did not dare to ban luxury on scholars, and even mixed with his dissatisfaction with his extravagant private life and lack of strict self-discipline.

How can Zhang Juzheng stand it?

Especially now that Zhu Yijun has gotten married, he is eighteen years old.

Zhang Juzheng naturally dared not respect and revere Zhu Yijun and care about Zhu Yijun's views.

Therefore, even if Zhu Yijun refuted him, he didn't dare to be angry now, he just wanted to explain, and in the end, he simply admitted his mistake directly, saying that he had disappointed His Majesty the Emperor.

Fortunately, Zhu Yijun hurriedly lowered his figure now, and used his identity as a disciple to respect him and explain, which made Zhang Juzheng's expression a lot more soothed.

Even, Zhu Yijun's sentence "Although I respect Mr., I respect the right way to govern the country", Zhang Juzheng was even more pleasantly surprised, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty can already be pro-government!" ”

Saying that, Zhang Juzheng said the reason: "At least, the minister really didn't expect how important it was for the king to have the heart of benefiting the people, but only knew that the monarch should be benevolent and thrifty." ”

"It can be seen that His Majesty understands better than his ministers!"

"Although Mr. does not know the importance of benefiting the people, he also knows the importance of the people's suffering in the community."

Zhu Yijun replied with a smile.

"Although I respect Mr., I respect the right way to govern the country even more."

Shen Li, the official of the living note, also wrote these words into the living note with a solemn expression.

Zhang Juzheng gave his hand again: "Although the minister is broad, but for the importance of the community, I would like to take back the words I asked Your Majesty to ban the Aoshan Fireworks and Lantern Festival, and please ask Your Majesty to order Shuntianfu to strictly prevent the occurrence of water, and set up a fire brigade (fire brigade)." ”

"Quasi-play!"

"Another gentleman already thinks that the king should know and benefit the people, so in the future, the system should not only enrich the country and strengthen the army, but also add the idea of 'benefiting the people'!"

Zhu Yijun said with a smile.

Zhang Juzheng said yes.

Shen Li also smiled here and hurriedly wrote Zhu Yijun's words into the living note.
