Confucius's Confucianism is worthy of criticism, especially in the rigid Confucianism that has evolved in later generations, even Confucius's descendants, the latest enshrined official Kong Wenyin, reprimanded Confucianism for not being human, and after treating people as grass mustard, he himself became grass mustard, but Master himself was very advocating etiquette.

According to Zhou Li: Seven Temples of the Son of Heaven, Five Temples of the Princes, Three Temples of the Doctor, One Temple of the Scholars, and no temple of the Shuren, according to the career of Confucius, the Master was a Shuren when he died, he took his disciples to travel around the world, and after returning to the Lu State, he also repaired the book, and the Shuren had no temple, and today's magnificent Confucian Temple is undoubtedly against the will of Confucius himself, contrary to Confucius's own pursuit of etiquette.

The Confucian Mansion was arrested and brought into Beijing In the process of investigation, this magnificent Confucian Temple has become a problem and has been completely overthrown? Or will it remain as it is and let the erosion of the spring and autumn years be allowed, or will it be changed to a place for the world to admire?

The emperor's final decision was to become an imperial village, and then it was offered to Confucian scholars all over the world to pay respects.

The word apricot altar given by Xiaozong was erected at the place of the apricot altar, and the wind-milled copper altar given by Emperor Renzong replaced the Yuan Dynasty's apricot altar, removed the crown of Confucius and the ten philosophers, and was opened and repaired regularly.

The Confucian Temple has become the emperor's imperial village, and it does not charge money for the Confucian scholars in the world to worship, but in the process of worship, it must not be rude, if it is rude, Shilin will inevitably criticize it, but the emperor's punishment is very simple, in the Confucian Temple in Qufu is rude, there will be a fine.

For example, littering, spitting, loud noises, trampling on the lawn, vandalism, vexatious trouble, picking quarrels and provoking trouble, etc., all have different specifications of fines, and the maximum penalty is more than 1,000 taels.

If you are polite at the Temple of Confucius, you can play for free, and if you are rude at the Temple of Confucius, you will face an almost astronomical fine.

Zhu Yijun is not worried at all that Huangzhuang will lose money if he runs the Confucian Temple like this, and the untouchables will never let His Majesty the Emperor down in terms of quality.

Sometimes, it's free, but it's the most expensive.

In this way, it not only took care of Confucius's face, but also maintained the repair of the Confucian Temple.

Zhang Ju is very aware of this matter, as a courtier, he can't do anything to the Confucian Mansion, and His Majesty has to come to it.

Zhu Yijun's emotion, if you have to be mediocre, if you are saved, it is actually a sentence that Zhu Youzhen, the king of the dead country, said to the courtiers at the last time, and later, those courtiers did not come to the court, because the next day, Li Zicheng, the king of Chuang, had already begun to enter the city.

If Zhang Juzheng really came into the hands of Emperor Chongzhen, Daming would be saved? Not really.

In terms of personnel, Emperor Chongzhen himself likes to shirk responsibility, and he does not take responsibility, Zhang Juzheng is doing these things, and Emperor Chongzhen, who has soft ears, will kill people if he is clamored for a few words; In terms of timing, Zhang Juzheng's regent was because of the special historical stage of the suspicion of the lord and the country, and Emperor Chongzhen was already an adult when he ascended the throne; In terms of the current situation, the background of Zhang Juzheng's implementation of the new policy in the early years of Wanli was that the southeast and Altan Khan gradually calmed down, the northwest and Altan Khan reached a reconciliation, the external environment was stable, and there was still a strong internal administrative force that could promote the new policy.

Zhang Ju is facing the situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and he can only say one sentence, his gas is exhausted.

Because the external environment can no longer be stabilized, and the internal administrative force has been completely absent, even Zhang Juzheng can scratch his head when he sees these things, and there is nothing he can do, and Zhang Juzheng is not an omnipotent person.

Throwing the south sun is the main worry, the north and the east are all good plans, and the time comes and the earth are all together, and the heroes are not free.

Zhuge Liang abandoned the secluded life of Zhuge Lu in Nanyang, in order to thank the grace of the three visits to the thatched house, running around for the Lord, conquest in the south and north, strategizing, doing his best, when the world is going well, it is like the sky and the earth are also helping him, after the time is gone, even if he is a hero, he will inevitably be short of breath, and can only sigh: The sky is long, how thin is he than me.

This poem was written by Zhuge Liang and used on Zhang Juzheng, which is also very appropriate.

"Wang Cifu, I haven't been in the dynasty recently, and this wealthy family has seen it in Beijing, but how is the matter of selecting officials and selecting officials?" Zhang Juzheng is very concerned about this matter, but the progress of the matter will not be reflected in the recital, Zhang Juzheng sent the recital through the palace, and he does not know the specific progress of the implementation, and the rule of officials is the core driving force of Zhang Juzheng's new law.

"Your Majesty has set the exam to start on the third day of the fifth month, and the question is good." Wang Chonggu sighed and said helplessly: "Yicheng Bo knows, our Ming students, not to mention the Jinshi in the examination, that is, if you pass the examination, they are all dragons and phoenixes among people, which one is not smart?" Arithmetic is better, but this contradiction says that it is sad to death. ”

As Wang Chonggu judged, arithmetic is indeed difficult, but he can still learn it, but the contradiction is that if he doesn't practice it, he can't understand it thoroughly, and he can't understand how to answer, which falls into a dead circle, that is, to be an official, you must first practice, but if you want to practice, you must first be an official.

The emperor's move directly created a cycle that could not get out.

"I understand, it turns out that Wang Cifu's supervisor is for this matter." Zhang Juzheng suddenly realized that Wang Chonggu had worked so hard to do this, and the purpose had fallen here.

The demand for supervisors is huge, this kind of grassroots officials is a good opportunity to practice, for understanding the contradictions, this is the best opportunity, of course, the supervisor is not so easy to do, Su Zhe is already a very, very capable doctor, will still return to exhaustion, fall asleep, do not know the night. It's a busy day.

Zhang Juzheng's words are actually to remind Wang Chonggu that he is printing on the song, the purpose is to add another supervisor between the officials and the officials, this kind of supervisor is the reservoir of officials, reserves, to make achievements in the position of supervisor, then after passing the exam, I dare not say that I am virtuous, but I am definitely qualified.

"Yicheng Bo is really powerful." Wang Chonggu hurriedly said.

Zhang Juzheng said very politely: "Where is it, Wang Cifu is still thoughtful, and sure enough, people are in their positions to seek their own government, I am worried, but I don't see Wang Cifu's intentions." ”

"Where, where, Yicheng Bofu doesn't say, I didn't expect there to be this layer, thank you Yicheng Bofu for mentioning it." Wang Chonggu waved his hand again and said.

This time they advocated each other, this is a typical politeness, business blowing each other, one said I didn't expect you to be so powerful, and the other said that I was not as powerful as you thought or you reminded me to know, the main one is to give face to each other.

In fact, when Wang Chonggu came out to talk about things with the prison official system, he naturally thought of this layer, and when Zhang Juzheng saw it, he also thought that they were all thousand-year-old foxes, just for Gao Gong.

Gao Gong has been absent from the court for a long time, and has lost his sensitivity to political decrees.

"Hypocrisy!" High arch and flick your sleeves again, this is real hypocrisy!

Wang Zhihe looked at Zhile from the side, You Qi walked in, bowed his head and said: "Sir, Xu Jie's eldest sons Xu Fan and Gao Qiyu are asking to see each other outside the door, and the greeting note handed is Dr. Gewuyuan. ”

"Let Gao Qiyu go back." Zhang Juzheng thought about it and said to You Qi.

"Sir." You Qi said unbearably, since he was expelled from the division by Zhang Juzheng, Gao Qiyu came to see him several times, but Zhang Juzheng didn't see it.

Isn't it a little too impersonal?

Zhang Juzheng waved his hand and said, "Let him go back." ”

"Yes." You Qi was helpless, and persuaded him, Zhang Juzheng refused to see him, and You Qi had no choice.

"Since there are guests in Yicheng, I won't bother much, and I'll come back to visit another day." Wang Chonggu had finished talking, and even finished the polite words, and immediately got up and retired.

After going out, Wang Chonggu happened to see Xu Fan enter the door, Gao Qiyu was turned away, Gao Qiyu's lost appearance, even bad people like Wang Chonggu and Wang Qian were a little unbearable.

"It is said that an apprentice is half a child, and this Gao Qiyu has been worshipping under the Yicheng Bomen for many years, why is he so ruthless?" Wang Qian fought a cold war, Zhang Ju is really ruthless, these years, the apprentice is probably to recognize a father, and the apprentice is almost equivalent to recognizing a son, as an official in the court, the number of times he has seen his father in his life is not as many as the number of times he has seen his teacher.

Gao Qiyu made great contributions and returned to Jingshi, but he still did not get the approval of his teacher.

Wang Chonggu looked at Gao Qiyu's lonely back, and said helplessly: "Gao Qiyu's business, Zhang Juzheng can't see him, what does Your Majesty think when he sees him?" Baiguan is going to attack Zhang Juzheng again, he can only do this. ”

Wang Qian didn't agree very much and said: "Your Majesty actually doesn't care, and is willing to let Gao Qiyu continue to be an official, in fact, it is already an extra grace, Gao Qiyu is guilty of trespassing." ”

"The crime of trespassing, Qian'er, I suspect that you are pointing at Sang and scolding Huai for saying that your father." Wang Chonggu frowned, he always felt that something was wrong, and immediately smelled what this sentence was talking about, this filial son was simply angry with his father!

"That's what my father said." Wang Qian raised his eyebrows and said happily.

"I'll borrow you a ring knife and use it!" After Wang Chonggu confirmed, he planned to borrow the coachman's knife and kill the son on the street.

I haven't had to live this day!

Zhang Juzheng can't see Gao Qiyu, Zhang Juzheng's political heir, His Majesty, his Zhang Party was handed over to His Majesty, and Gao Qiyu's behavior is completely contrary to this line, so Gao Qiyu's immortality is the emperor's extrajudicial grace and gave Zhang Juzheng this face, and the friendship between teachers and students has been broken.

Zhu Yijun really doesn't mind, this person has his own thoughts when his heart is separated from his belly, and when the country is restless, Zhang Juzheng can still control all the people under him no matter how powerful he is?

But Zhang Juzheng is very concerned, and to this day, Gao Qiyu is still missing.

Zhu Yijun was in the Wenhua Palace, flipping the music in his hand, and while flipping, he looked up at the two officials of the Hubu Hall, the old Wang Guoguang of the Great Situ Pavilion, and Zhang Xueyan, the Shangshu of the Hubu, both of whom looked at the Ming Emperor with great anticipation.

"The state treasury has taken out seven million silver at once, do you want to invest in the opening of the sea with me?" After reading Zhu Yijun, he thought that he had read it wrong, Wang Guoguang and Zhang Xueyan had only one purpose in meeting, that is, to send money to His Majesty, and it was seven million silver.

These seven million silver is definitely not a small amount, it is equivalent to the tombs of fourteen first emperors, and it is an extra, surplus, and investment silver that does not affect the support of the national dynasty, and now the imperial court is really generous.

Returning the land to the land is indeed able to alleviate the financial pressure of the Ming Dynasty.

Wang Guoguang bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, that's what you mean, follow Your Majesty to make some money, and you can't put a little money in the state treasury, didn't Your Majesty say it?" Silver always goes to the place where there is no shortage of silver, and Your Majesty does not lack silver, so all the silver goes to Your Majesty. ”

"The dynasty can invest on its own, why should you look for me?" Zhu Yijun is still not convinced, the internal money and the state money have been fighting for so many years, and the internal money asks the state money for 300,000 silver, and you can tear it to death.

You know, Wang Guoguang is the second in the world!

"No, no." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, looked at Wang Guoguang and said: "Today, I used twelve five-masted ships to cross the ocean and exchange the plantation of Wanli Haitang. ”

"Follow Your Majesty to make money." Wang Guoguang said very precisely, this book can pass the ministerial meeting, or the personal reputation of the Ming Emperor is strong, and at the same time, this ability to make money is obvious to all, and Hongmao Fan placed an order of 16 million silver, which is such a terrifying profitability.

The cost of a five-masted ship is only 50,000 silver, and it will be sold for 200,000 silver, how can this silver be so profitable!

"Mercenary!" Zhu Yijun looked at Song Shu, thought for a moment and said, "Da Situ, you are not honest, you are changing the topic, I ask you, why are you looking for me?" The dynasty can also go to Nanya to invest by itself. ”

Wang Guoguang also said very frankly: "Your Majesty, the court of these seven million silver is really going to invest, I'm afraid that it won't be able to recover a penny, and then it will be to collect the debt, and there is no place to collect the debt, and now the sea is still open, after these moths eat it, they will run away, where can they go to collect the debt?" ”

"It's better to go through Your Majesty, Your Majesty's money, it's easy to collect the debt."

What can Zhu Yijun say? The advanced nature of the imperial system?

Taking the court's money is greedy for ink, taking His Majesty's money is a rebellion, greedy ink still needs to be investigated, and the rebellion only needs to be quelled and raided, so Wang Guoguang would rather give His Majesty and let His Majesty invest in his own name, and he is unwilling to share this money through the rules and regulations of the imperial court.

After Zhu Yijun clarified Wang Guoguang's thoughts, he looked at Wang Guoguang, pointed to himself and said, "How do I feel that I am being used by Da Situ?" ”

"The minister is terrified." Wang Guoguang was just panicking, he didn't deny it, that's what he thought, using the emperor to make money.

Zhu Yijun patted the table and said with a smile: "You are afraid, you are not afraid at all, you are deceiving the sky!" ”

He picked up the big seal and stamped it on Wang Guoguang's note, but did not return it to Wang Guoguang, but let Feng Bao go to the cabinet, this silver is not Wang Chonggu's silver, and there needs to be an investment contract, Zhu Yijun promised to pay 4% annualized interest to the state treasury.

Wang Chonggu's 10 million taels, whether Zhu Yijun gives it or not, how much it gives, it all depends on the emperor's intentions, there is no clear provision of the proportion of dividends and interest, it completely depends on Zhu Yijun's conscience, and the money of the state fund is a fixed interest.

4% may not seem like much, but the household can keep making additional investments, and if there is a war in the dynasty, the emperor must find a way to return the principal to the state treasury and keep the dynasty running.

What if Zhu Yijun doesn't give it? It's not a big deal, it's just that the country has lost its trust and people's hearts are suspicious.

"Do you have any ideas about the plantation of Wanli Haitang?" Zhu Yijun asked his business partner, and now, Wang Guoguang is discussing business issues on behalf of the state as a business partner.

"I am more worried, these plantations, the people of the Ming Dynasty are unwilling to go, the absolute number of the main population that occupies the ruling class is not enough, I am worried that these plantations will not be able to maintain peace and stability for a long time, more specifically, the people of the Ming Dynasty are difficult to leave their homeland, I am afraid that the plantation will not be done." Zhu Yijun expressed his worries.

Wang Guoguang looked at His Majesty, then thought for a moment, and chose to tell the truth: "Your Majesty, I have to worry too much, we are Daming, we only lack livelihood, there is no shortage of people, there are more Han people digging white soil on Taotu Mountain than captives, which is also the reason why Hou Yuzhao and Zhou Liangyin were able to come out of the fields in Daningwei, Huiningwei, Zhangwu and other places. ”

"Lack of livelihood, not people?" Zhu Yijun repeated suspiciously.

Wang Guoguang sighed and said, "Your Majesty, the world is trapped in annexation. ”

"I see." Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and understood the meaning of Wang Guoguang, the homeland is difficult to leave, in fact, it is talking about people who can survive, when they can't survive, they must always take survival as the first goal, the world is trapped in annexation, and there are countless farmers who have lost their land, and going to sea has become a choice.

Zhu Yijun is deep in the ninth layer, even if he has used all means to understand the suffering of the people, but when thinking about the problem, there will still be some self-righteousness, going to sea is still a very risky business at the moment, almost everyone who goes to sea can't survive, so he goes to the sea to make a living, there is no problem with his cognition, he just underestimates the amount of people's suffering.

This absolute amount, is completely sufficient.

Zhang Juzheng's sentence that the world is trapped in mergers, although there are only a few words, it seems extremely heavy.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng and the emperor's new policy, there was a conflict, the opening of the sea and the return of the world to the field, there was a fundamental contradiction, the return of the field is to let the powerful right people return the acres of land to His Majesty, if the world is really cleared and returned to the field, then the people will live and work in peace and contentment will go to sea?

This Qingzhang needs people to return to the field for cultivation, people are needed to expand the land and open the border, and people are needed to open the sea.

The answer is yes, because there are really a lot of people in the Ming Dynasty, and the severity of the merger problem is far more drastic than Zhu Yijun imagined.

Zhu Yijun began to sort out the investment of 27.07 million taels of silver with Wang Guoguang.

Direct investment, the main is the construction of the shipyard's industrial chain, the shipyard's industrial chain is a very long investment, the maritime academy needs to be expanded, while training boatmen, but also to train sailors, and at the same time in various places to put into production shipyards, Tongyuan, rivet factories, textiles, etc.; In addition to the shipbuilding industry chain, it is around the investment in the industrial chain of maritime trade commodities, such as silk, mulberry garden, sericulture workshop, cotton field, cotton spinning, etc., as well as the construction of seaports, Manila, Penghu Inspection Division, Jilong Port, Ryukyu Naha Port, Jeju, Nagasaki and other places in Luzon.

These are direct investments.

Opening the sea requires a large amount of silver, and the benefits are extremely huge.

Zhu Yijun took out four handfuls of cotton and put them on the table, and said: "Baoqisi has been exploring the cultivation of cotton in recent years, and at present we have four kinds of cotton, one is upland cotton, which is native to the Peruvian region, and the other is island cotton, which is cotton on the island of the Atlantic, as well as the kapok from our Central Plains, and the grass cotton from the big food country, that is, small cotton. ”

"The yield of island cotton is low, but the long staple is easy to spin, while the upland cotton has a high yield and strong adaptability, but the long staple is less, which is not conducive to weaving."

Wang Guoguang carefully observed these cottons, the best quality of which is island cotton, followed by upland cotton from Peru, local cotton is not as good as these two in terms of luster and long staples, as for grass cotton, it is more used as a medicinal material.

"Island cotton and upland cotton have their own benefits, so can you..." Wang Guoguang wanted to get a kind of cotton with high yield, strong adaptability, and more long-staple cotton, although he didn't explain it clearly, but everyone understood the meaning, breeding this work, agronomists should be very good at it.

"Unfortunately, these two can't be hybridized." Zhu Yijun spread his hands and said helplessly.

Xu Zhenming was not reconciled, he tried many times, and found that both of them were cotton, but there would be no seeds, which made Xu Zhenming helpless, horses and donkeys can give birth to mules, but island cotton and upland cotton can not produce high-quality cotton seeds with long colluts and large yields.

Xu Zhenming is very unwilling.

After Wang Guoguang heard this, he said helplessly: "That's really a pity. ”

"Therefore, the cotton fields in Songjiang Prefecture can be exchanged for upland cotton, and many overseas plantations can grow island cotton, if there is no labor, then the plantation owners in various places can find their own way." Zhu Yijun and Wang Guoguang exchanged views on the management of the plantation.

What if there is a shortage of labor? Naturally, I grabbed the farm tools, threw off the leather whip, but I pumped hard, and I grabbed it again after I died.

Zhang Xueyan took out a book and handed it to Feng Bao, Feng Bao forwarded it to His Majesty, in addition to the book, there was also an account, the emperor's investment in Nanya, and the first bad debt was born.

In the indirect investment, there are Hangzhou Renhe Xia mortgaged the acres of land to the eunuchs in exchange for 320,000 taels of silver, and the borrowed money was said to be used to transform the mulberry field, according to the Zhejiang governor, Zhejiang according to the inspection, Hangzhou prefect, Renhe Zhixian, Renhe tax house audit inspection and supervision of the eunuch's inquiry, it was found that the Xia took the 320,000 taels of silver, beat the gong and beat the drum to change the mulberry field, and the next day the person went to the empty building.

Daming's indirect investment is not subject to brokerage compradors, and can only be obtained by the heads of each prefecture with acres of land as collateral.

When the tax inspection of the tax house began to investigate, it was found that the Xia family had already gone to the empty building, leaving only a few partial houses to stay, and the mortgaged acres, there was a problem of more than one land, this Xia family planned many times, the acres of land to a number of people, the amount involved in the case was as high as more than 700,000 taels, the Ming Emperor is the largest luxury household in the world, and now it is even more deserved, can eat such a large amount of acres at one time, only the emperor.

This Xia thought he could run, but he was still caught by the coastal defense patrol Haifei.

At present, the boatman leads the stars across the ocean, mainly relying on the needle chart, which has a fixed direction of the ship, and only in this way can he get enough supplies, rather than dying of thirst or starvation at sea, and the sea is vast.

After receiving the tax inspection from the tax inspection room, the coastal defense patrol caught the Xia who set off from Ningbo Port after a little inquiry, and dared to steal the emperor's money.

In the face of more than 30 cannons of the five-masted foreign ship, Xia was afraid that he would kneel slowly, and was torn apart by the artillery, and some of them had been arrested, thrown onto the hydrofoil sailboat, escorted to Beijing, and some fled to Annam.

This is why Wang Guoguang has to find the emperor to invest, because the rigid Ming court, if the 320,000 taels were so brutally occupied, they would first report to the Beijing Division, and then the Beijing Division would inform the local area, and then the local government would have dispatched troops, and the Xia clan would have fled long ago.

And to find out who swallowed His Majesty's money, there is no need for any reason, first catch it and hold it down, to put it mildly, if Luo Bingliang doesn't care about his own life, he can even play a game out of nothing to satisfy the Ming Emperor's greed for silver like gluttony.

If you want to add to the crime, there is no excuse, the suppression of the division is a sharp blade in the hands of the emperor, the emperor really wants to kill, Luo Bingliang is dead, and he will do it, just like when Ji Gang froze to death Xie Jin, Emperor Cheng Zuwen let Xie Jin die, and Xie Jin couldn't live.

It's just that His Majesty pays attention to the gentleman's love of money and takes it in a good way, and he has a lot of his own money, not his own money, and he doesn't want a penny.

"Da Situ, you just saw this case and made up your mind to inject capital, right?" Zhu Yijun finished reading the recital and said with emotion. He still underestimated the prudence and conservatism of Wang Guoguang, an old fox, and saw that he would not lose his principal, so he was willing to bet and invest.

Wang Guoguang didn't hide it, he bowed his head and said, "That's true." ”

Wang Guoguang wanted to promote the investment of state funds in Nanya, and he could not solve them.

The first is the attack of the courtiers, and the accumulation of prosperity is still considered an unkind and unjust government; The second is that due to the rigidity of the investment of the country, the principal will inevitably be lost, and it is necessary to be prepared for all losses; The third is to ensure profits, even if it is direct investment, can it really be profitable? The answer is no, six books and one account can guarantee that there is money in the account, but there is no guarantee that the state funds will actually get the money.

These three problems, Wang Guoguang can't solve them, he can't make decisions, but through His Majesty, these problems are not problems.

"Your Majesty, what should you do with those acres of land that are more than one land?" Zhang Xueyan asked His Majesty's opinion.

Zhu Yijun immediately replied: "My field! ”

Wang Guoguang and Zhang Xueyan glanced at each other, and immediately showed a reassuring expression that should be so, should be so, the money of the Ming Dynasty, according to historical experience and lessons, cannot be given to the emperor, otherwise it will be borrowed and not repaid, but Your Majesty's appearance makes Wang Guoguang and Zhang Xueyan feel at ease!

Originally, the emperor was unwilling to invest in the painting boat business, and Wang Guoguang would have doubted His Majesty's profitability a little, but His Majesty now directly said my field, and all doubts were dispelled!

Your Majesty will definitely be able to earn it, and it will be earned in blood!

Hand over your monthly passes, if you don't vote, they'll expire! Ask for a monthly pass, woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
