Last time, I talked about urging carpenters to marry their daughters to the emperor on the ninth day of September in the lunar calendar, and they want to make a big deal known to the world, and see how all parties react?

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang once said, "Hu Yuan died in Kuan, so I was fierce." The meaning of this second half of the sentence is that he wants to abolish all the policies of the Yuan Dynasty, and control the people of the world by using harsh laws, rules and regulations, and harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, so as not to let the people be free.

Only in this way will there be no rebels like them that can grow rapidly in a short period of time and eventually threaten the stability of their newly established regime. To this end, Zhu Yuanzhang referred to the artificially created social hierarchy of the Yuan Dynasty and divided the people of the world into "peasant households", "military households" and "craftsmen".

"Peasant households" are "yeoman farmers", but do not include "tenants" and "serfs", who can only cultivate land for generations; The "military households" are the soldiers and their families who are in charge of the "Tuntian", and they can only join the army to fight for generations; And "craftsmen" are also subdivided into many professions, such as the children and grandchildren who open a tailor shop have to work as tailors for generations.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not allow ordinary people to change their careers easily, because it was not conducive to his totalitarian rule, and he was worried that one day someone would copy his "way to make a fortune".

What is even more immoral is that the "Tan family" (i.e., the "Tan family" and "boat water family") who fish can only live on the boat, and they are not allowed to wear shoes when they go ashore. In addition, such as those "tenants" who rented land from landlords to plant, "serfs" with lower status, "prostitutes" in green houses and brothels, beggars on the street ("called Hanako"), "changfu" who reported the time, and even "errand servants" (small officials) who worked for the official yamen, these people were all classified as "untouchables" and could not turn over under any circumstances!

This was worse than the "Manchu Dynasty" in later generations, because other social strata, including these "lowly people", such as the "Three Religions and Nine Streams" and the "Clothed Slaves", still had the opportunity to break away from the "lowly status" after occasional meritorious service. "Three religions and nine streams" mostly refers to "lower nine streams", while "clothed slaves" mostly refer to those who were captured and reduced to domestic slaves.

In China's ancient feudal society, the hierarchy system was strict, and it was difficult for ordinary people to change their original identity through normal channels. "Three Teachings and Nine Streams" is a general term for various industries in society.

The "three religions" refer to "Confucianism" (founded by Confucius and had a profound impact on feudal society), "Taoism" (founded by Zhang Daoling, a local religion), and "Buddhism", but it is not limited to the definition of "Confucianism", "Xuanmen Taoism" and "Shamen Buddhism" and other "cultivation realms", because "immortals are different, and each has its own barrier".

"Nine Streams" refers to "Confucianism", "Taoism", "Yin and Yang", "Legalism", "Celebrity", "Moism", "Zongheng", "Miscellaneous", "Farmer" and other "Hundred Schools of Thought" from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. In addition to this, there are also "novelists", so there is a saying of "nine streams and ten schools" (from "Hanshu Art and Literature Journal").

"Confucianism" is the main body of ancient Chinese feudal culture, and the doctrine of Confucius has influenced Chinese culture, and the timeliness is the longest. From the Han Dynasty to the May Fourth Movement, Confucianism has always occupied an important position in China's cultural and ideological circles. Mencius, Xunzi, Dong Zhongshu, etc. are famous representatives.

"Taoism" is an "academic school" centered on the doctrine of "Tao" of Laozi in the pre-Qin period. Zhuangzi inherited and developed Laozi's ideas and was called a "moralist". Because Lao Tzu's philosophical thought has the characteristics of naïve dialectics. Therefore, in the Han Dynasty, "Taoism" respected Lao Tzu as the "ancestor" of Taoism.

"Yin and Yang Family" is present in the Warring States Period, advocating the "Yin and Yang Five Elements" theory, emphasizing that the five elements are mutually reinforcing and mutually restrained, and the representative figure is Zou Yan, the Taishi of Yan State and the Fang Shi of Qi State.

"Legalism" is an important school of thought advocating "rule of law" during the Warring States Period, originating from Guan Zhong, Zichan and others in the Spring and Autumn Period, and the representative figures are Li Kui, Shang Ying, and Shen Buxian during the Warring States Period, and Han Fei is the master of Legalism. In contrast, "Legalism" advocates "hegemony" and "tyranny", while "Confucianism" advocates "royal way" and "benevolent government".

"Famous master" is a school during the Warring States period, a "debater", representing ancient Chinese logic, and its representative figure is Gongsun Long. The "Mohists" were also schools of thought during the Warring States period, advocating "Kanai" (equality and fraternity) and "non-aggression (opposing unjust wars)", "economizing", and "frugal burials". The founder is Mo Zhai.

The "Zonghengjia" were strategists who engaged in political and diplomatic activities during the Warring States period, including the "Hezong faction" and the "Lianheng faction". The representative figure of the "Hezong faction" was Su Qin, who advocated that the six countries of "Hezhong" organize a group to resist Qin. The representative of the "Lianheng faction" was Zhang Yi, who advocated "Lianheng" Qi in order to disintegrate the six countries in order to make friends from afar and attack closely.

"Miscellaneous" refers to a part of the scholars who mixed the ideas of various schools of thought from the Warring States period to the Qin and Han dynasties, and its characteristics are "Confucianism, Mo, and name and law". His representative works are "Lü's Spring and Autumn" and "Huainanzi". The former was written by Lü Buwei, the prime minister of the Qin State, and the latter was written by Liu An, the "King of Huainan" of the Western Han Dynasty, and his menke.

"Farmer" is an academic school that reflects agricultural production and peasant thinking during the Warring States period, because with the gradual development of productive forces and the evolution of princes competing for hegemony and tending to unification at that time, the importance of food and clothing (especially food production) has emerged, and agriculture, as the foundation of the country, has attracted the attention of all social strata.

The term "three religions and nine streams", which is considered derogatory today, was divided by ancient Chinese folk according to people's status and professional names. There is no special distinction between the "three religions", but the "nine streams" are different. According to their social status, the ancient folk divided the "nine streams" into "upper nine streams", "middle nine streams" and "lower nine streams".

At the same time, there are two different versions of the "Nine Streams": according to the first division standard, the "Upper Nine Streams" are: emperors, sages, hermits, children, immortals, literati, warriors, farmers, industrialists, and merchants; The "middle nine streams" are: Juzi, Doctor, Xiangming, Danqing (a painter), a scholar, a qinqi, a monk, a Taoist, and a nun.

The "lower nine streams" are: master, yacha, shengzheng (scaleman), matchmaker, pawn, time demon (abduction and witch), thief, theft, and prostitution.

According to the second division standard, it is "nine streams": first-class Buddhas, second-rate immortals, third-rate emperors, fourth-rate officials, fifth-rate pots, sixth-rate dang, seven-rate merchants, eight-guests, and nine-class fields; Middle nine streams: first-class lifters, second-rate doctors, third-rate feng shui, fourth-rate batches, fifth-rate danqing, sixth-rate phases, seven monks, eight daos, and nine qin chess. "Lower nine streams": first-class witches, second-rate prostitutes, third-rate gods, fourth-rate gangs, five shaved heads, six blowers, seven plays, eight street calls, and nine selling sugar.

If we distinguish according to status and occupation, then people have a distinction between high and low, high and low. As a result, ancient novels turned it into a word that contained "derogatory". But long before the Han Dynasty, the names of these "three religions and nine streams" were not derogatory.

However, when wearing or placing feng shui ornaments, the ancients had to cooperate with their five elements and the corresponding charms and hours to multiply the power of evil and the effect was incomparable. At the same time, "Baoyi" represents an identity, which is the home of the later Manchu aristocratic clan society. On the other hand, Baoyi was a courtier in the ruling class of the Qing Dynasty, and some Baoyi slaves became more powerful because they served by the royal family and nobles all the year round.

They were easily reused and rewarded, and gradually rose in status by comparison, sometimes even surpassing some officials.

Therefore, although the "coated minions" have the name of "minions", in terms of identity, they are not at the bottom of society. In contrast, the relative status of ordinary minions is much worse, and they basically cannot be officials, they can only be slaves for generations, and there is no chance of turning over.

Of course, there were many reasons why the minions were enslaved, but the main ones were captured as slaves after the defeat and the criminals themselves and their families were punished.

In ancient military operations, prisoners of war were captured and the population of the other side was plundered, such as a large number of Qiang, Yi, and Guifang enemies obtained by the nobles of the Shang Dynasty as prisoners, some of which were used as human martyrs, and some of which were reduced to slavery. For sinners and their families, since the Shang Dynasty, there has been a system of punishing some criminals (usually those whose crimes are not minor but not sufficient for the death penalty) and the families of those who have committed capital crimes and other more serious crimes as official slaves.

No matter what good things are done, even if they make great contributions, it is difficult to have the possibility of turning over, because Zhu Yuanzhang does not want to see the people out of his control, and the "Daming Law" stipulates that the "people of the Ming Dynasty" are not allowed to go out at will, and those who are hundreds of miles away from home must obtain the consent of the government, otherwise, those who go out without permission will be imprisoned, and if the neighbors do not report it, they will also be implicated.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's "Imperial Decree" has already made it clear, who would dare to joke about the freedom of himself and his family? . It can be said that the Ming Dynasty was the best dynasty among the feudal dynasties of China, because there were no strong enemies abroad, because the Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty had already eliminated all the "strong enemies" before it was founded. But later, the Mongols themselves were not good, so they were counterattacked by the peasant uprising, but Zhu Yuanzhang and other "reckless heroes" picked up the leaks.

However, if the commercial and trading system established by the Mongols themselves could continue to flourish in the Ming Dynasty, it might allow the Ming Dynasty to enter the era of "commercial capitalism" at the same time as the Western powers, and even enter the modern civilized society in the subsequent "industrialization process".

However, the highly centralized political system at the end of feudal society hindered the possibility of China embarking on the "capitalist road", and both the Ming Dynasty established by Zhu Yuanzhang and the Qing Dynasty later in the "prosperous era of Kang Yongqian" were disgusted and indifferent to "capitalism", believing that it was "strange tricks" and "degeneration of human nature". But Zhu Youzhen, the Chongzhen Emperor in this time and space, accidentally obtained all the memories of the "Nobel" in another time and space more than 200 years later, will he be willing to be mediocre?

Of course, he will not be willing to be mediocre, because he not only took only three years to clear up hundreds of years of internal and external troubles, but also let the people at the bottom of the society have food, clothing, hope, little education, support for the elderly, no money for medical treatment, less grain for farming, and unprecedentedly opened the "shackles" that restricted the movement of the people at the bottom, provided them with low-interest financing, and injected vitality into economic development, so he won a large number of people's good thoughts and incense wishes.
