Only one of the internal officials who took the exam scored eighty-nine points in arithmetic, and the rest were all above ninety, and the only one became a conspicuous bag.

If you don't work hard, you don't have long eyes, and the conspicuous bag is the one that doesn't have long eyes.

This time, the eunuch went out of the palace to take the exam, and it was the ancestor Feng Bao in the palace who specially arranged the task of humiliating the outer court.

Moreover, this eunuch went out of the palace to participate in the official examination, which was the first and probably the last.

"You're Chen Ju?" Zhu Yijun looked at the eunuch in front of him, who was a little smaller than himself, and asked quite gently.

Chen Ju knelt on the ground and said tremblingly: "The criminal is Chen Ju, and the criminal deserves death." ”

Chen Ju knows very well that he is really a conspicuous bag this time, even if he takes one more point, he will not be summoned by the emperor, this time out of the palace exam, His Majesty deliberately humiliated the Confucian scholars in the court in order to promote the contradiction theory and arithmetic, this is a major event known inside and outside the palace, but this major event, Chen Ju himself messed up.

"Feng Daban, according to the rules, what should I do?" Zhu Yijun asked Feng Bao.

After thinking about it, Feng Baosi bowed his head and said, "Send it to Langxia's house." ”

"Well, let's do it." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and recognized Feng Bao's punishment, there are rules in the palace, Zhu Yijun has never been a gentle king, since he has made a conspicuous bag, no matter what the reason, it means that Chen Ju is not suitable to continue studying in the inner study.

Chen Ju's eyes darkened, knowing that this life was over, and it was difficult to come out of the gallery again, so he kowtowed again and said loudly: "The guilty minister bows to thank Your Majesty for your holy grace." ”

At least his life was saved, not to be a well-wrenched soul.

In fact, this is already the best result, if you continue to stay in the inner study, Chen Ju's fate will be worse, the internal officials are fighting very badly, the inner study is full of eunuchs who threaten Chen Ju, and there are not many people who can threaten Chen Ju in the Langxia family.

The towering walls of the imperial palace were no different from the high walls of the heavenly prison, and the eunuchs and maids trapped in the forbidden city, and even the emperor himself, were prisoners.

Feng Bao is a gentle ancestor, and he didn't do it well, and he just sent the gallery to the next house.

"The second ancestor Zhang Hong in your mouth also came out of the Langxia family, if you have a heart, you still have a chance to get ahead, do things well, since you can choose the inner study, you will naturally have something extraordinary, kneel down." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, which could be regarded as encouragement.

When he arrived at Langxia's house, he didn't have a chance to get ahead, Zhang Hong came out of Langxia's house.

Chen Ju kowtowed again, and then retreated step by step, until he retreated to the threshold of the palace gate, and then turned to leave.

"Your Majesty, Wan Dazai is here, waiting outside the palace." A small yellow door walked in and bowed his head.

"Xuan."

Wan Shihe entered the palace this time to come for the eunuch to leave the palace for the exam, specifically, Wan Shihe and this wall grass entered the palace to reproach Chen Shan!

That's right, Wan Shi and this official oilman also plan to admonish His Majesty!

"See Your Majesty, Your Majesty." Wan Shihe bowed his head a little apprehensively.

"I'm fine, excuse me, sit." Zhu Yijun motioned to Feng Bao to take a seat, and asked suspiciously: "Wan Dazai is exempt, what is the matter?" ”

"The minister came for this eunuch to participate in the official examination, and the minister thought that this time the results were excellent, and the streets and alleys were talking about it, and the article of the Hanlin Academy was really unreliable, but after thinking about it, it was appropriate not to let the internal officials go out of the palace for reference in the future." Wan Shihe did not go around the bush, but explained the intention directly, His Majesty does not like the courtiers to talk nonsense and have no point.

Zhu Yijun was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wan Shihe, this matter of making a statement, no matter what, it was not Wan Shihe's turn to say it, but he still came.

Why did you go earlier? When Zhu Yijun issued the decree before, Wan Shihe did not object, but now he comes out to oppose it?

But if you think about it carefully, you can understand Wan Shihe, he was scolded by Feng Bao at the beginning, especially the eunuch who was not as good as Feng Bao in reading, it was a stain on Wan Shihe's life, but now the internal official is out of the palace for reference, and he pressed the cheap Confucian on the ground and rubbed it, so Wan Shihe is not a shame.

I was drenched in the rain, and naturally let the Confucian scholars of the Ming Dynasty feel the downpour.

"Chen Cheng knows that His Majesty is determined, the country is reforming the old and the new, except for the old and righteousness, the overkill will inevitably be overcorrected, the goal has been achieved, and in the future, it is better to have the inner study in the inner court." Wan Shihe expressed his meaning very vaguely, His Majesty is a person with means, an authoritative king, but future generations, not necessarily the same, the monarch is a little weak, this eunuch may even ride on the king's head as a prestige.

The eunuchs at the end of the Tang Dynasty could depose the emperor, but the eunuchs of Ming Yingzong dared to rebel, colluding with internal and external forces, and had to be guarded against.

"Wan Shihe, what do you mean! These Confucian scholars, they are not angry, and they still rely on our internal officials to go out of the palace for the exam? Feng Bao was immediately unhappy, no matter how he listened, he felt that Wan Shihe was scolding him for rebelling!

"Feng Dajue, what can I mean?" Wan Shihe said with a smile: "Da Jue, so follow it, and the Taoist gods, and change it, and the right time." The implementation of this contradictory theory and arithmetic is naturally necessary for the Confucian scholars to know that it is powerful, this goal has been achieved, and things are based on the principle of revolution, don't you understand? ”

"Or does Da Jue really want the internal officials to go out of the palace?"

"Okay, you're Wanshihe!" Feng Bao nodded a little Wan Shihe, this old man now has ink on his belly, not the Wan Shihe who was easy to bully at the beginning.

Wan Shihe is already very proficient in contradictions, and Feng Bao can't talk about him a little.

Zhu Yijun didn't think that this was Feng Bao's incompetence, on the contrary, this was the meaning of Feng Bao sitting on the Wenhua Hall to discuss politics.

The reason why Feng Bao can't argue is because Wan Shihe's theory of things is an important theoretical achievement in the theory of contradiction.

The discussion is about following and revolutionizing, and following is inheritance, respecting the continuity of the development and inheritance of things; Reform, on the other hand, is the flexibility of reform and innovation that respects the development of things.

Inheritance is to respect the past development experience, there is no inheritance of things, can not be born out of thin air, no water, no roots; The new is in line with the times, and without the new, the new cannot replace the old, and the development of things cannot be established.

"What Wan Dazai said is reasonable, and if there are people who don't want to learn this contradictory theory and arithmetic in the future, then they can't blame me." Zhu Yijun saw that Feng Bao did not pursue excessively and agreed with Wan Shihe's point of view, but he didn't say anything to death, and if someone leaked in the future, then Zhu Yijun couldn't be blamed for having no means to deal with them.

This time, the Confucian scholars in Jingtang have lost a big face, and they can't even read a lowly villain like a eunuch when they study, and they are still one of the talents in the Ming Dynasty, which is simply a great shame, Sven is swept away, and they can be laughed at for a lifetime!

As far as the people referred to this time, no one can say that they are full of wealth and that they have learned five cars, because if they say so, they will immediately attract ridicule.

Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao and asked, "What does Feng Daban think?" ”

"Your Majesty." Feng Bao didn't resist too much, nor did he nag, His Majesty said that he wouldn't let him do it, he didn't have any hesitation at all, and supported him unconditionally, otherwise it was as if he Feng Bao really had thoughts about the outer court.

"Why did Feng Daban agree so happily?" Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao, in the conflict between the inner and outer courts, Feng Bao paid attention to not giving up an inch of land and not retreating, but this time he agreed so easily.

Feng Bao bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty, you will accept this when you see it, the minister still understands, the internal officials have humiliated the Confucian students this time, it is already excellent, and when they come back to their senses, they will definitely be able to pass the internal officials, and the ministers are still biting and not letting go, isn't it, taking their own humiliation?" ”

"These Confucian scholars from the outer court, don't think about humiliating them in this life, this joke has to be with them for a lifetime."

"Feng Daban, it is really a matter of retribution, and it is very heartfelt! Feng Daban's skills in "The Book of Qi People" are very recognized by me. Zhu Yijun said sincerely, Feng Bao Rouren, but it doesn't mean that there is no means, there is no way to take revenge in this life, this is Feng Bao's heart-wrenching skill.

can't pass the eunuch such a despicable person, this group of Confucian scholars can't hold their heads up in Shilin for the rest of their lives.

Feng Bao's angry scripture has reached the realm of transformation.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Feng Bao bowed his head and said, Feng Bao is still one level inferior to His Majesty, His Majesty's means of killing people and punishing his heart, Feng Bao is not the first time to see it, and it has not been long for the courtiers to write articles to scold Wang Shizhen.

"There's one more thing." Wan Shihe began to play, he came to His Majesty, not only to reproach Chen Shan, but also to communicate with His Majesty in advance on state affairs.

The thing Wan Shihe wants to talk about is that he is a prison officer.

Wang Chonggu put on a book to discuss the pros and cons of being a prisoner in the Song Dynasty, and this book actually caused an uproar in Shilin, more precisely, against it.

The two Song Dynasty were an era of extreme separation, on the one hand, the culture was at its peak, and on the other hand, it was humiliated, and for the judgment of the prison officials, the overall evaluation of the Ming Dynasty was to do more harm than good.

"The two Song Dynasty courts spent a lot of money, all from tea, salt, and wine." Wan Shihe began to sit down and discuss, starting from the proportion of taxes, and discussed the pros and cons of being a prison official.

The financial revenue of the two Song Dynasty courts and the previous dynasties relied on the land tax differently, the two Song Dynasty fiscal revenue, the proportion of land tax per mu never exceeded thirty percent, the lowest time was in the Song Xiaozong era, only tea, salt, wine three, Song Xiaozong era, it exceeded 30 million, because of frequent wars, the land was barren, the Southern Song Dynasty lost the entire north, and the southern provinces were underdeveloped in this context, Song Xiaozong, the Southern Song Dynasty commercial tax ratio was as high as ninety.

This is also the reason why the two Song Dynasty did not have a field system, and the country was three hundred years old, and the court of the Two Song Dynasty was too rich!

In the Two Song Dynasty, where wars were frequent, the land area shrank, mergers became commonplace, and civil unrest was frequent, the imperial court had money, so who had no money? Are they those who are lawless, unscrupulous, and extremely risk-resistant?

Apparently not.

It is the people who face the loess with their backs to the sky, these poor coolies who have lost their land, and their lives are miserable.

200 wen a pound of coal and 500,000 marks a piece of bread is a great harm to the accumulation of prosperity.

Zhu Yijun listened to Wan Shihe's statement, and said thoughtfully: "Mr. is also worried about this matter: At the time of the Two Song Dynasty, all the wealth of the road was placed in the palm of the transfer envoy, and the wealth of a state was placed in the palm of the judgment. For the sake of moderation, defense, group training, staying, observing, and assassinating history, all pre-sign the affairs of the Golden Valley, and the external power wins and the benefits return to the private door. ”

Gao Gong's objections were summarized by Zhang Juzheng, and then written in the song for His Majesty's judgment.

The Northern Song Dynasty was strong and weak, and the execution was very good, but in the Southern Song Dynasty, under the financial power, the feudal town began to appear, and the supervisor was the executor under this kind of world.

This will test the ability of those in power.

"Mr. is in the court, just try it first, stop if it doesn't work, Daming now has the ability to try and make mistakes." Zhu Yijun finally chose to be radical, Daming has the ability to try and make mistakes, which is also one of the reasons why Zhang Juzheng is willing to sign and print this book.

"Wan Dazai, I have an errand to Dazai, the governor of Luzon surnamed Zhengmao, planning to take advantage of the return of the plantation, to the Nanyang countries to carry out a small range of national conditions summary, Yin Butang said, now it is only the Nanyang countries, and in the future, it will be the countries of the world, this is a long-term event, I thought it would be included in the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yijun sent a dispatch to let Wan Shihe make a chronicle for all nations.

When Wan Shihe heard about His Majesty's dispatch, he raised his eyebrows, his face was full of joy, and he immediately bowed his head and said, "The minister must do his best." ”

It is a great merit to make a chronicle for all countries, and it is a great merit to be included in the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor sent this work to Wan Shihe.

Early the next morning, Wan Shihe published a notebook, which impressed the courtiers again, and Wan Shihe finalized several principles for summarizing the national situation.

The first is the systemic principle, a three-level indicator to measure the capabilities of an overseas vassal state.

The first-level indicators are basic national strength, consumption capacity, trade capacity, military ability and maritime trade ability, and there are four second-level indicators under each basic national strength index, such as: basic national strength is divided into natural endowment, population status, education, and water and road; Consumption capacity is divided into consumption structure, consumption level, market quantity, and port capacity.

This classification method is a systematic principle, and it is only necessary to look at a table to understand the basic situation of the country, and then it has a certain reference significance when formulating policies for this overseas vassal state.

Other principles include the principle of risk, the principle of practicability, the principle of feasibility, etc., such as the principle of risk, which is mainly to consider the risk of trade with it.

After a comprehensive assessment, the Ming Dynasty will divide the overseas countries into three levels, vassal states, friendly countries, and enemy countries.

For example, the Ryukyus are vassal states, Taixi's red-haired fan franc machine is a friendly country, and the Wa kingdom is an enemy foreign threat.

If this national situation summary is really done, it is of great significance to the opening of the sea in the Ming Dynasty, at least these businessmen who opened the sea must have a copy in their hands, which can be a little more certain for the unknown future of maritime trade.

"Wan Dazai is doing things, and it's really Lisuo." Zhu Yijun made a high degree of appreciation for Wan Shihe's ability to do things, and in the future, these small countries will inevitably refer to Wan Shihe's "Overseas Domain Chronicles" when they repair their own country's history books, so Wan Shihe will have the power to define the history of other countries.

Define the past, and you can define their future.

What surprised Zhu Yijun was that Zhang Juzheng's return to the court this time was calm and calm, and it did not cause any waves at all, and no one in the court played, saying that Zhang Juzheng's revenge was not unfilial piety to be a son of man, after all, compared with Zhang Juzheng's filial piety, his own life seems to be more important.

This emperor, the killing is too heavy.

And after Zhang Juzheng was robbed of his feelings, the first thing he did was to preside over the selection official examination, even if Zhang Juzheng's exam paper was difficult and difficult, but it was still much simpler than His Majesty's set of questions, and the second thing was to put a shackle on the unscrupulous tax court, even if this shackle was not very strong, it was much better than nothing.

The predecessor of the tax institute was the tax room of the Zhenfu Division, and the Zhenfu Division was subordinate to the Jinyi Wei, and the Jinyi Wei Yamen was the only one that was both the outer court and the inner court.

Zhang Juzheng presided over the supervision of the civil officials of the Auditing Yuan, this shackle is not firm here, it is built on the emperor's high degree of trust in Zhang Juzheng, it takes time to practice, and then slowly precipitates into a permanent system, once the emperor no longer trusts the ministers of the foreign court, this kind of supervision is dispensable.

But, still, yes, better than nothing.

Zhu Yijun sat on the Taishi chair, holding a miscellaneous newspaper of the Gewu Academy, reading it with relish, this is an article written by Geng Xiangxiang and Jiao Hong, doctors of the Gewu Academy, called Fortune, mainly to discuss what wealth is.

"Your Majesty, Sir has arrived." Zhang Hong reminded His Majesty in a low voice.

"Xuan."

Zhu Yijun handed over the miscellaneous newspaper in his hand after Zhang Juzheng's salute, Zhang Juzheng looked at it for a long time, and said very seriously: "An eloquent article." ”

Geng Xiangxiang and Jiao Hong are not suitable for being officials, but in the Royal Gewu Academy, they can make the best use of their talents, this article is very well written, and it can be regarded as an answer to some social problems at the moment when the Ming Dynasty is gathering and prospering.

Zhu Yijun said excitedly: "Jiao Hong asked Geng Direction: What is wealth? ”

Geng Xiang said: wealth is the concrete embodiment of value, such as land, metals, grains, fabrics and other physical objects, there are also land deeds, creditor's rights, silk coins and other virtual things that can be realized, and the real physical objects and widely recognized virtual things, is there any wealth?

Jiao Hong replied: Knowledge, skills, cultivation, and morality, which cannot be measured by money, are also a kind of wealth.

Is only money wealth? In the discussion between Jiao Hong and Geng Xiangxiang, it is obviously not so defined, what can measure the price is a kind of wealth, and what cannot be measured is a kind of wealth.

Da Ming's political discourse is very fond of using the format of the disciple asking and the teacher answering, and this wealth theory is the same, and it is summarized very well.

Zhang Juzheng looked at the miscellaneous newspapers and said in amazement: "It is true, on the outside, it is the universal connection between people, and on the inside, the metaphysical cognition of the infinite reason of all things, such as knowledge, skills, cultivation, morality, etc., is human nature and human nature." ”

According to Zhang Juzheng's contradictory theory, human beings are divided into two definitions: external, human beings are the sum of all relationships, while internally, the definition of human beings themselves is the cognition of infinite truths.

Based on Qiu Jun's labor theory of value, Jiao Hong and Geng Xiang defined the price for the definition of labor.

The amount of money that people are willing to pay for a good is called the price of that good. If the owner of an item sells an item at a certain price at a certain time and place, the price is called the current price.

This is of extremely practical guiding significance, and the existence of the Daming Silk Coin Trading Bank proves Jiao Hong's definition of price.

The price is not the same as the value, no matter how high the silk coin rises, it is not as high as the price of a five-masted ship, because the value determines the price, and the anchoring of the price comes from the value.

"These two masters and apprentices are very bold." Zhu Yijun pointed to the miscellaneous newspapers and said: "Jiao Hong asked: Do people put prices for useless things?" Geng Xiang said: Things that have no utility to people will not be priced. ”

"Jiao Hong asked again: Song Huizong's "Bamboo Bird Picture" is only a piece of paper, but its price is the official of the feudal territory, the governor of Yunyang, and it can even be used as a congratulatory gift to celebrate His Majesty's wedding, with a price of more than 100,000 silver, this useless thing has a price, and it is sky-high, even higher than the price of a five-masted ship, why is this?"

"Geng Xiang said to the lesson: How can "Bamboo Bird Picture" have no effect, no one has it, that is, it has the utility of showing off, and the utility is to meet people's needs, whether it is hobbies or vanity, they are all needs."

This question and answer can be described as bold, attacking the Yuan Fu Taifu of the Dynasty for accepting bribes from Wang Shizhen, attacking the Ming Emperor for being greedy for money, and accepting congratulatory gifts from courtiers.

Zhang Juzheng naturally saw this paragraph, and he was not angry, these two people are not within the Five Elements, they are Dr. Gewu, Dr. Gewu is not involved in government affairs, and they are also the foundation of the Legislative Institute of Gewu.

Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: ""Bamboo Bird Map" is priceless and unmarketable, but what Geng Xiangxiang said is reasonable, people's needs are not only food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also the ambition in the heart can be distributed, this is also a demand, as long as the needs of people are met, whether it is food, clothing, housing or vanity, it is effective." ”

Zhang Juzheng never denied that he accepted bribes, he was never the kind of perfect saint, he was a follower, as long as he could get things done, methods and means were all processes, Zhang Juzheng attached great importance to the results, and said more politely, Gao Qiyu is still alive now, and he has not been given political death or even physical death by Zhang Juzheng, it is completely because Gao Qiyu is really useful, he can send an envoy to Taixi, and he can translate Taixi's foreign books.

has use value, then here in Zhang Juzheng, even if it is a person, make the best use of things, and make the best use of talents.

It just so happened that Zhu Yijun also attached importance to the followers, and said that it was better to do a practical thing, Zhou Liangyin was such a cheap Confucian, after arriving at the Daning Wei reclamation, Zhu Yijun looked at Zhou Liangyin with clear eyebrows.

Metaphysical cognition is of course important, but metaphysical practice is also extremely important.

"Therefore, whether value is use value or exchange value, the root of value is demand and utility to people, and creating goods that can meet people's utility is production." Zhu Yijun agrees with the definition of production.

The content of the theory of wealth is discussed as follows: the true nature of wealth, the relationship between price and value, the difficulties that must be overcome in the process of obtaining wealth, that is, in the process of production, the process and sequence of distributing wealth among the members of society, the possible ways of using wealth, and the results of each of these situations.

Moreover, the discussion was carried out in the Yongding woolen official factory supervised by Wang Chonggu, which is an extremely realistic and appropriate example.

The first article of the Wealth Theory is only a thousand words, but it only discusses the definition of production, and it revolves around the definition, even so, it is still a precious spiritual wealth.

Before the Ming Dynasty, only Qiu Jun, who was born in the first Jinshi of Jingtai in the fifth year, had discussed the fundamentals of labor, value and wealth, and no one cared about it before and after, and the Ming Dynasty was absent from the discussion of the meaning of the poor coolies, which was also one of the reasons for the demise of the Ming Dynasty.

This absence is due to neglect, even contempt.

A group of Diao people, what waves can be stirred? Even the establishment of the Ming Dynasty was opened up by such a group of Diao people.

Now that some people have finally discussed these contents, and they have also been printed in miscellaneous newspapers, the Ming Dynasty should be kind to the poor coolies, not just words, but in the process of improving theory and paying attention to practice in parallel to promote this wind power public opinion.

A small yellow door hurriedly walked in, tripped on the threshold and almost fell, and handed a book nailed with a white cloth to Feng Bao, Feng Bao glanced at the cover, put it in front of His Majesty, and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, Shandong Governor Ling Yunyi sent an obituary, and Ge Shouli, the former chief constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, died of illness." ”

Ge Shouli has been ill for a while, and this honest courtier, after all, did not escape the urging of time and left Daming forever.

Zhu Yijun was a little stunned for a while, when Ge Shouli gave his respects, Zhu Yijun had already realized that the next time he received Ge Shouli's news, it was probably an obituary, and this obituary suddenly appeared, which caught him a little off guard.

Compared with whether Yang Bo is a gentleman or a villain, it still needs to be discussed dialectically, and Ge Shouli is not a villain.

In the early years of Wanli, Ge Shouli's task was to prevent Zhang Juzheng from usurping the power of the lord's prestige, and even causing harm to Zhang Juzheng.

At the time when the lord Shaoguo was suspicious, Ge Shouli completed his task very well, and after Zhang Juzheng Ding was worried about filial piety, Ge Shouli chose Zhishi because of his old age and illness.

Zhu Yijun was stunned and said: "Gift to the prince Taibao, the Ministry of Rites will draw up a nickname, and the official funeral will be honorable, will Duke Ge just leave?" ”

Ge Shouli was born in Shandong, as the Ming Duke of the Middle Kingdom, in the Yanzhou Confucius Mansion and its minions, Ge Shouli's Ge family was not on the list of cleanups.

"Your Majesty's condolences." Zhang Juzheng can probably understand His Majesty's loss of consciousness, Ge Shouli is a minister that His Majesty is very familiar with, birth, old age, sickness and death, human nature.

Zhu Yijun came back to his senses and suddenly said, "Mr. give me an epitaph." ”

"Obey." Zhang Juzheng was almost choked, and was a little dazed for a while, His Majesty has completely become a political creature, a sixteen-year-old political creature, even if a familiar minister like Ge Shouli leaves, the emperor also weighs the pros and cons of thinking from a political point of view.

Zhang Juzheng gave Ge Shouli an epitaph, which is equivalent to saying that there is no dirt between the two, and Ge Shouli's attack on Zhang Juzheng was done at the behest of Zhang Juzheng himself.

This is the result of political measurements.

The monster of the emperor was cultivated by Zhang Juzheng himself.

Asking for a monthly pass, woo!!!!!!!!!!
