Chapter 334 - Private Interview with Weifu
In this way, of course, there will be a situation where He Qiu will become a scapegoat, but according to He Qiu's understanding with Zhu Di over the years, although this person is ruthless, he is not enough to kill his son-in-law.
Taking a step back, even if Zhu Di really wanted to do this, He Qiu had the Iron Man armor on his body, at least he didn't have to worry about his life.
In this way, he can advance and retreat freely, how can He Qiu not put his energy into changing Daming?
……
Zhu Di was busy with government affairs during this time, and he was tired, you must know that when he was the prince before, he didn't feel that there were still many things that Zhu Yuanzhang needed to decide personally.
But when he became the emperor, Zhu Di found that there were too many things below, and after Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the prime minister, almost all matters in the court and the central government had to be decided by him.
Zhu Di was almost overwhelmed by the Manchu Dynasty's recitals, so Zhu Di began to secretly make up a cabinet, and let the courtiers of the cabinet help him decide affairs.
However, although these ministers have the right to decide, their own official positions are low, so it is also convenient for checks and balances.
It's just that Zhu Di doesn't dare to do this now, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang is still alive, and he can't change the policy he left before Zhu Di leaves.
Especially this major policy of abolishing the prime minister, this is something that Zhu Yuanzhang did after killing two prime ministers, and they were all noble ministers.
For this reason, Zhu Di can only endure silently at this stage.
Fortunately, in the recent period, there has been less official business, and Zhu Di can also take out a relatively brisk time.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhu Di called the attendant beside him and commanded.
"I'm going to leave the palace, you help prepare civilian clothes."
The attendant beside him was taken aback by Zhu Di and hurriedly said.
"Your Majesty, no! It is very dangerous for the Son of Heaven to leave the palace rashly, and it is not in accordance with the etiquette......"
Before he finished speaking, Zhu Di glared at him fiercely.
"The world is mine! What's more, I'm just going around the capital, do you want to tell me that there are many thieves in the capital? ”
"I don't even have to be afraid of the battlefield, let alone just go out of the city for a walk?"
After venting, Zhu Di calmly changed into civilian clothes and left the palace with a few guards.
During this period of time, the most troublesome thing was probably the book "The Wealth of Nations" written by He Qiu, although many people have not read this book, they have also blown this book into the sky.
No way, everyone says it's good-looking, if you don't keep up with the trend, don't you seem to be very ignorant?
Zhu Di slipped to a bookstore, picked up the book on it and looked at it a few times, and asked casually.
"Do you still have The Wealth of Nations?"
The shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Sir doesn't know, this book has long been sold out in my bookstore. If you want, you can leave your name and address, pay a deposit of 100 Wen, and wait for some time, if you have it, our bookstore can personally help you send it to the house. ”
Zhu Di frowned.
"Why do you need a deposit? What if you don't admit it later? How can I find you again? ”
The shopkeeper in front of him was a little unhappy, but he still said patiently.
"Our bookstore is dedicated to your readers' business, of course, we must also pay attention to a benevolence and faithfulness, otherwise how will the bookstore's business be?"
"So there will definitely be no situation where you swallow the deposit and run away, and this deposit is actually handed over to the bookstore of the imperial court, and the bookstore will charge us a deposit of one hundred and fifty yuan, and the bookstore will have to pay fifty yuan for the guests first!"
Zhu Di smiled.
"Speaking of which, your bookstore is indeed benevolent enough!"
The shopkeeper said proudly.
"Isn't that right? The main thing is that the writing of this good country is really good, and every word says that the hearts of our people have gone up. ”
As he spoke, the shopkeeper picked up a teapot on the side, poured himself a glass of water, and moistened his throat.
Zhu Di looked at the inconspicuous shopkeeper with some curiosity and asked.
"It turns out that the shopkeeper has read this "The Wealth of Nations", what does it say, can you ask the shopkeeper to solve your doubts?"
Seeing that Zhu Di was really curious about the content of this book, the shopkeeper put down the teacup and shook the book spread out in front of him.
Zhu Di looked at it, and it turned out to be He Qiu's "The Wealth of Nations".
The shopkeeper said unhurriedly.
"I don't understand the Wealth of Nations and other things, but I just understand a sentence, the four people have different industries and the same way!"
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows, this seemed to be something that was not in the version he watched, so he asked.
"What does that mean?"
The shopkeeper said with emotion.
"Looking at the appearance of the guests, I think I am also a scholar! Before this, everyone said that Shinong was a businessman, and a merchant was the last business, and his status was low. Don't look at the fact that you have a lot of money, maybe in the eyes of officials, it is a fat sheep, and it is not as good as a farmer who farms! ”
"But this Hou Ye He said, the four people have different industries and the same way, although we are businessmen, but this just means that we are different from you scholars in the social division of labor, and everyone's personality should be equal.
As long as we are businessmen who do business honestly, pay taxes for the imperial court, and do not cheat and cheat, then we should be protected by the imperial court, and we should not bear the prejudice of others. ”
"That's a good thing to say!"
Zhu Di didn't expect that there would be such a thing in the re-deleted Wealth of Nations, and it seems that when He Qiu simplified the publication again, he really abandoned a lot of the essence of the original book.
It only talked about some things about the division of labor and cooperation and the equality of the four people.
Thinking of this, Zhu Di wanted to laugh a little, He Qiu's book may have just been mentioned, but the businessman in front of him took it seriously.
In this world, how many businessmen will take this sentence in this book seriously?
Zhu Di doesn't know this amount, but thinking about it, there should be no minority.
After all, businessmen have been discriminated against in terms of social status for too long, and few people stand up to speak for them, and this time there is suddenly such a number one person who speaks for them, I'm afraid they will also be very unaccustomed to it, right?
What I want to laugh at even more is that He Qiu's book has also heard that the reputation in Shilin is not good, and those scholars who advocate pure talk look down on such a book that makes people money, thinking that it does not have a word about benevolence, righteousness and morality, and the words of saints, which is really unsightly.
Unexpectedly, such a book could make a businessman stand up straight.
To be honest, Zhu Di was quite surprised by such a situation, if he was simply sitting in the palace, I am afraid he would not really feel these things.
After all, no one will report to Zhu Di about businessmen, the atmosphere of despising businessmen has always been there, and few people will take businessmen seriously.
It was Zhu Di's daughter Zhu Yuying who went to do business, wasn't it only after a series of resistances, and Zhu Di set a rule that she was not allowed to show up directly?
