Chapter 459: The Limits of Freedom

Is the trading house really the only way for the poor to turn over? Is it true that money has opened a window to the poor coolies?

That's just wishful thinking on the part of Wang Qian, he is a gentleman, his pearl business, forcibly harvested the powerful people under him, so the people entered with their hard-earned savings, just to be harvested.

Therefore, for tickets such as ship tickets, the minimum entry threshold is also five taels of silver, and you can only participate in it if you have a little extra money.

Shen Shixing hopes that the imperial court can issue special tickets for investment in the open sea in the trading bank, which is naturally to let more silver owners, especially the luxury households in the north, deeply participate in the opening of the sea, the Ming Dynasty forbidden sea is with the imperial court moved north, and the Beijing division began from the south to the north, and the resistance to the opening of the sea comes from the south ya, and also from the north ya, which is similar to what I can't eat, and you can't eat it.

The issuance of special tickets for investment in the opening of the sea by the trading bank can allow the north and south of the Ming Dynasty to get a piece of the pie and reduce the political resistance to the opening of the sea.

And Shen Shixing did not hide his thoughts, the purpose of this is to transfer the investment risk downward.

The scope of the ship ticket is extremely narrow, only involving the ship itself, and Shen Shixing believes that the complete profit period of Daming Kaihai investment has passed, and the future investment is likely to lose money, so the industry that may lose money will be put into the trading bank, and the risk of losing money is transferred to the speculators who play in the trading bank.

Shen Shixing is not against speculation, but speculation has always been like this, there are losses and gains.

In Shen Shixing's view, the emperor is the president, the state treasury is the leader, and the investment in opening the sea with the influence of the three parties of Chu, Jin, and Zhejiang, and the investment of tens of millions of taels is completely a privileged economy, and the privileged economy is characterized by the use of administrative power as a resource, through administrative examination and approval, bypassing administrative supervision, taking advantage of the convenience of customs clearance, and so on, with the main characteristics of power profiting and unfair competition to gain advantages, aiming to seek benefits under privilege.

And this kind of privileged economy is an extremely serious injustice, which also seriously affects the major events of maritime trade, and there will also be ethnic parties, and in serious cases, the party will bring disaster to the country.

In his opinion, the previous three phases of a total of 37.12 million taels of investment in the open sea were a helpless move to appease the Jin Party, which was severely hit, to appease the Jin Party, promote the Zhejiang Party, preserve the strength of the Chu Party, and achieve balance.

In the next investment in opening the sea, the imperial court should mainly build the official factories and regiments controlled by the state funds, and if there is a lack of funds, it will use the treasury bonds to raise funds, which is also the beginning of a clear distinction between public and private.

Before Jiajing, the Ming household department had the right to audit the accounts, and after Jiajing, 1 million gold and silver per year, was the emperor's private treasury, which was also a clear distinction between public and private.

The ownership of the official factory of the imperial court is completely attributed to the imperial court, and the boundaries are drawn and completely cut off, which is conducive to the development of industry and commerce in the Ming Dynasty.

"What Governor Shen said is reasonable, and his ideas are based on the framework of public and private theories and contradictions." Zhu Yijun recognized Shen Shixing's recital, and discussed the household ministry in the next chapter, and most of the content of the entire recital was correct, but Zhu Yijun did it before, not for the minister's attachment, mainly because he had no money.

According to Shen Shixing, can we really completely eliminate the privileged economy and make a clear distinction between public and private? It's a beautiful idea, but it's hard to implement and a mixed result at best.

The wool business is still completely controlled by the Jin people, and the profit part of the wool is divided by the Jin people, which is also the reason why the Jin people did not do more to provoke the wrath of the heavens when the Ming army was conquering, and the Ming Dynasty's conquest of the grassland was of great benefit to them.

If you really want to eliminate the soil of the privileged economy and the existence of the class, it is not enough to just eliminate an emperor, but the annexation of land by the countrymen, gentry, and luxury and right-handedness is itself a privileged economy, and stripping is the true face of the privileged economy.

To abolish the privileged economy, to abolish classes, the productive forces of the present cannot do this.

Zhu Yijun picked up another notebook, from the Imperial Procuratorate Supervision Imperial History Feng Mengzhen, and Zhang Dingsi in the Military Division, in which they criticized the Xishan Coal Bureau in detail, which was not an impeachment note against Wang Chonggu, but to discuss an important issue caused by the Xishan Coal Bureau, soot.

Xishan Coal Bureau mines coal mostly under 30 zhang, and there is porridge at home, and it does not go to Mentougou.

Mentougou is the kiln well of the Xishan Coal Bureau, the firewood of the Ming Dynasty has long been exhausted, the firewood bearer has to carry firewood to Miyun Yanqing and other places, as early as the Xuande period, the martial artists of the Ming Dynasty realized that this is a business opportunity, began to mine coal in the West Mountain, for which a conflict broke out, the British Gong Zhang Fu was admonished, Wu Xun had to withdraw from the competition for Xishan coal, and the Xishan kiln well completely fell into the hands of private businessmen.

The chaotic operation does not provide sufficient supply of coal, but because of the kiln produces all kinds of weapons, resulting in the destruction of production, there are no norms and laws to make mining disasters occur frequently, and the cruel stripping also makes the kiln on the kiln very few kiln people, the lack of public office is led to various conflicts can not be adjusted, the internal friction is extremely serious, and the price of coal will also skyrocket with heavy rain and snow, several times to a hundred times.

In the early years of Wanli, Wang Chonggu led the affairs of the Xishan Coal Bureau, directly 'confiscated' everyone's kilns with brutal and tough means, set up official kilns, and began coal mining, coal washing, coking, and steelmaking, which has been seven years.

In the second year of Wanli, the Xishan Coal Bureau could only provide 50 million catties of coal, and in the eighth year of Wanli, it had reached 560 million catties, and sufficient supply ensured the stability of the price of coal in Beijing, and at the same time, it also allowed the population of Jingshi to expand again.

The coal supply of 560 million catties of coal has led to the soot problem.

In autumn, after the southeast trade wind to the northwest trade wind transfer, the entire Beijing division will be filled with the smoke and dust of coal production, as long as ordinary people open the window, there will be a large amount of black ash covering, and winter is the peak period of coal use, the choking smoke will make the whole Beijing division like soaking in the ashtray, but also with some sulfur burning smell, even the golden roof of the imperial palace that symbolizes the imperial power, the glazed tiles are also covered with smoke and dust.

In the supervision of the imperial history Feng Mengzhen and the military department, Zhang Dingsi, in the song, asked for an order to stop the mining, washing, scorching, iron-smelting and other things of the Xishan Coal Bureau, but to move outward and set up in a sparsely populated place, and the coal burning in the Jingshi residential buildings should also be limited every year, and honeycomb coal should be used, a kind of honeycomb coal that is fried and mashed into loess.

The problem of pollution exists, and the chief medical officer of the Jie Yuan keenly observed a phenomenon, in the past, the number of black moths and white moths in Xishan was about the same, but with the large-scale mining of Xishan Coal Bureau, the increase of coal ash, the number of black moths is increasing rapidly, and the number of white moths has decreased sharply, the closer to Xishan, the more serious the phenomenon, and the black moths are less likely to be found and preyed on by natural enemies, and are suitable for survival.

Feng Mengzhen and Zhang Dingsi's suggestions can indeed curb the soot problem.

However, there is an extremely important issue that Feng Mengzhen and Zhang Dingsi did not talk about, how the kiln people can make a living.

There is no porridge at home to go to Mentougou, these two officials, seeing the harm of soot, also gave a way to alleviate the problem, but in the whole song, only did not mention the livelihood of the Xishan kiln people, the Xishan Coal Bureau 13,000 kiln people, is 13,000 families, is involved in the actual life of more than 50,000 people.

"Let's discuss it in the next chapter." Zhu Yijun thought about it for a long time, and wrote in the recital: It should be slowed down and gradually resettle the kiln people.

Feng Bao reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry will definitely not be willing to reduce production, at present, the Daming Jingshi Maoyi official factory and the Weaving Bureau all need coal, steam engines need coal, iron-making, steelmaking, preparation of ordnance, etc. ”

Without coal, nothing can be done, the Xishan Coal Bureau has stopped, and various official factories in Jingshi will not be able to obtain coal, even if it is mined in the Shengzhou open-pit mine, it can be transported to Beijing, but what about the freight? Who will pay for the reinvestment in coal washing, coking, iron and steel making, and migration?

The Ministry of Industry has the examination results of the Ministry of Industry, and if you ask the Ministry of Industry in the next chapter, the emperor will only get disagreement.

"What I want is the disagreement of the Ministry of Works." Zhu Yijun put the song into the basket of the Ministry of Industry and answered Feng Bao's doubts.

Contaminate? Daming doesn't have the luxury to talk about this issue yet.

Zhu Yijun will not give up the situation that he has opened up with great difficulty, what he wants is the opposition of the Ministry of Industry, and at the same time, let the Ministry of Industry think of a way to suppress this black ash and smoke, and prevaricate the mouth of the official.

"Your Majesty is wise." Feng Bao put away the notes for today's review.

Today, there is an article on the recital of the chief medical officer of the Explanation Academy, Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong, which discusses the world of mustard seeds, which is a Buddhist term that expresses the tiny world.

Na Sumeru in mustard seeds, hide the sun and moon in the pot.

A bowl of Buddha view water, 84,000 insects, a bowl of water has many insects that many people can't see, this is the result of the development of Daming optics, the emergence and improvement of telescopes and microscopes, opened the door to a new world for the great medical officers of the Jie Yuan, in the tiny world, full of all kinds of strange lights.

After repeated confirmation, humans, monkeys, rabbits, elephants, lions, tigers, leopards, wolves, etc., there is no essential difference, they are all warm-blooded animals, the body temperature is basically constant, they all have spine, all have hair, all have diaphragms, and in terms of living habits, there are characteristics such as nesting, predation, viviparity, lactation, etc., and the insects of the tiny world are the source of most diseases.

A variety of domesticated, easily multiplying or spreading wild animals and plants have been domesticated by humans into a variety of crops and livestock, and the basic production of agriculture and grazing has produced surplus and exchange, which in turn has led to the formation of settled and densely populated class societies, and finally the birth of political frameworks, writing, weapons such as swords, guns, halberds, and ships to conquer the waves.

And crops, livestock, and dense population are the hotbeds of tiny insects in the mustard seed world, and this "Brief Discussion on Hygiene" played by the Jie Yuan is also a reminder to the emperor that in order to be healthy and maintain hygiene, in the face of the increasingly serious black ash and soot recently, the Xie Yuan and the Royal Gewu Institute have produced a cotton mask, which is intended to be mass-produced, which is considered a palliative treatment.

Zhu Yijun gave a deep praise to the cotton mask, for the soldiers in Jiuzhen Liaodong, Yingchang and other places, this cotton mask is also a thing to keep out the cold.

He was very concerned about the Songjiang School, which, under the banner of freedom, set up a bookstore and a school in Beijing, and planned to start a miscellaneous newspaper called "Easy Strange News", and also sent a great Confucian to Beijing.

The Songjiang School expanded its territory in the Southern Ya, expanding very quickly, and in the Song Shu of Shen Shixing and Pan Jitao, they also said this, they were extremely concerned about this school, once it was no longer a school, but had other purposes, it was necessary to break into heresy and suppress it by thunderous means.

The standard of heresy is very clear, the Ming Dynasty prohibits gathering and lecturing to make trouble, the standard of gathering and lecturing is not vague, and instigating civil unrest is the standard, you can speak freely and express your own views, but you must not use lecturing as a reason to make noise.

On the third day of August in the ninth year of Wanli, the sky is high and cool, the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, the branches and leaves of the street trees of the Beijing division become yellow, the maple leaves of the West Mountain begin to turn red, the leaves of the pine, maple and oak trees are colorful, from emerald green to golden yellow, and then to deep red, the layers are distinct, the wind blows, rolls up and flies the fallen leaves.

Xishan Dajue Temple, this ancient temple established since the Liao Dynasty, is also more lively than in the past, and many cars slowly stop in front of the ancient temple.

All kinds of dignitaries and dignitaries walked out of the car, and there was obviously a lively scene to see today.

The former presiding officer of the Dajue Temple passed away from the Lingjue Master, the Dajue Temple held a singing meeting in accordance with the Qing rules and precepts, that is, the relics of the Master of the Circle Death were bought, this kind of buying from the Tang Dynasty, to the two Song Dynasty, the singing clothes meeting gradually became a buying meeting, all kinds of rare treasures are countless, the Lingjue Master made a wide range of friends before his death, and the people who came to see off the condolences today are also endless.

Dajue Temple and Daming generally sit in the north and face south, is sitting in the west and facing east, because the Khitan people have the east of the sun, and the Dajue Temple was built in the Liao Dynasty.

There is a clear spring flowing into the temple, and there is a courtyard, called Qingquanyuan, which is a place of Qing Xiu, but this place of Qing Xiu, a high platform is set up, and a number of round tables and seats are set around, and the crowd is crowded.

Lin Fucheng, the great Confucian of the Songjiang School, entered Beijing to run a journal, heard that the master of Lingjue passed away, and rushed to condole, the new host invited Lin Fucheng to give a lecture, Lin Fucheng was gracious, but had to agree, just the Beijing master covered the luxury household to send off the master to mourn, the opportunity was rare, Lin Fucheng agreed.

Among the Jin people, it is represented by Wang Qian, Wenshui Wu, Wu Shizhang, Xuanfu Zhang, Zhang Youliang, Jiexiu Fangtang, etc., and Wu Xing, Yao Guangqi, Songjiang Sun, Dongting Wu, Wu Huairen and so on.

Zhu Yijun used Penglai Huang's family to swagger through the city, and also came to join in the fun, the Ming Jingshi covered the luxury households to Penglai Huang's Huang Gongzi is also extremely helpless, this is the Qi family in the general's mansion, no one can afford to provoke, just the visible entourage has hundreds of people, all of them are the teeth soldiers of the general's mansion.

When Wang Qian saw the emperor coming, he immediately gave up his friends and came to Zhu Yijun's table, nodding his head and flattering him to the end.

"You're too obvious." Zhu Yijun said helplessly.

Wang Qian said confidently: "What the imperial grandfather said, our Wang family is a traitorous minister, and it is not natural for a traitor to be flattering?" ”

"This Dajue Temple, is it the corpse Tuolin in the Sui and Tang dynasties?" Zhu Yijun looked around and asked. The corpse Tuolin is a mass grave, in the Sui and Tang dynasties, there were masters who settled here and lived beyond the undead here.

Wang Qian said in a low voice: "Back to the emperor's grandfather's words, the corpse Tuolin built by the Sui and Tang dynasties was later renamed Zhengguo Temple, and then renamed Dajue Temple. ”

"This Lin Fucheng's style is really big, we have all arrived, and he has not shown up for a long time, so people have to wait." Zhu Yijun frowned, he watched the excitement this time, there was no risk, the horses were cleared along the way, and Huang Gongzi on the General's Mansion always swaggered through the market, which was not an uncommon thing.

The Ming Emperor has all sat down, and this Confucianism has not yet arrived.

Wang Qian shook his head and said: "It's just a little trick to raise his own value, let people wait, it seems that he is big, as if in this way, he looks respectful, and what he says is like someone listens to it, and the rivers and lakes are small." ”

A great monk walked up to the high platform, bowed to the four directions, and then said: "My Buddha is merciful, everyone, Master Lin is mourning in the Great Compassion Hall, and he will wait for half an hour. ”

"Eat some melons, fruits, water and food, and there will be little monks who will come to ask for incense money later, and they have to give it if they eat people's soft mouths." Wang Qian said with a look of indignation: "It will make more money than our old Wang family." ”

"Haha." Zhu Yijun smiled, Wang Qian was obviously trapped, otherwise how could he be so familiar, Zhu Yijun didn't touch water and food when he went out of the palace, Zhang Hong took snacks and cool white open.

The little novice came to ask for money for incense, but Zhu Yijun was stunned and didn't give it, the things on the table didn't move, and the little novice couldn't be pestered, quite helpless.

There are a lot of pilgrims in the temple, and it is the first time I have seen such a picking.

Half an hour has passed, Lin Fucheng has not come, and another quarter of an hour has passed, Lin Fucheng is late, but still not on stage, the new host of Dajue Temple, came to the stage to boast to Lin Fucheng, what is a collection of great achievements and thousands of years of extinct learning, open foolishness and establish hundreds of millions of generations of certain returns, the Tao is never to Mr. and the beginning of the words.

Zhu Yijun leaned back in the chair, thinking about it, this person must have a high opinion.

Zhu Yijun is very curious about how Confucianism, which pays the most attention to filial piety and respect, and pays attention to dignity and humility, read the word freedom from the classics.

The freedom advocated by the Songjiang School is a bit clueless.

Lin Fucheng came out after a long time, and finally walked out slowly from behind at the invitation of the host, quite a Confucian demeanor, not very old, in his forties, neat and tidy, gentle and elegant, very gentle in dealing with people, and his appearance is not offensive.

"Thanks to your love, I am here to teach today, if you ask me what kind of knowledge I am preaching, I will say forgiveness, and I will say 絜矩 [xiéjǔ]." Lin Fucheng sat on the stage and arched his hand to the Quartet.

Zhu Yijun always felt a little familiar, and suddenly remembered that those artists who talked about stand-up comedy in Qianmen Lou were also like this.

Zhu Yijun is too familiar with the way of the order, and Zhang Juzheng's lecture contains this part, 絜, measurement; The way of the moment, the law, and the way of the discipline is the moral norm, similar to having a god with a head three feet up, and people should be loyal to the moral norm and live, which is the way of the discipline.

By extension, do not do unto others what you would not do to yourself, and do not impose on others what you hate.

"The free one, the meaning of unfettered, the way of the rule is that if I don't want it, I don't do it to others, what everyone wants, it should not be imposed on me, I don't use my own rules and regulations to restrain others, others should not use his reason to restrain me, unrestrained, only for freedom." Lin Fucheng began to outline the enlightenment and began to explain the freedom pursued by this school.

Zhu Yijun suddenly raised his hand and asked loudly, "Then what else are you talking about?" If you say that you don't need to restrain others with your own rules and regulations, and that you are beyond the world, why do you talk about this specious way of doing things in this pure place? Is it to educate us and other laypeople? Still not asking us to use your standards? ”

Lin Fucheng traveled from south to north, lecturing countless times, and was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth for the first time, and a wave of anger was brewing between his chest and abdomen, but as soon as he looked at the position of Young Master Huang, and then looked at the people around him who were far away from him and looked like they couldn't be provoked, he knew that this was a completely unforgivable character.

Lin Fucheng sighed and shook his head and said: "The host misunderstood me, if it wasn't for the host's persuasion a few times, after I mourned the master, I should have left, but the host said that this master of Beijing has not heard of freedom, so he told everyone what he knows and understands, if he doesn't like to listen, he can leave by himself." ”

"No, master, when you talk about this freedom, it seems that you are too self-contained, unrestrained? Who can live like this? May I ask you, Master, does freedom have to follow the most basic public order, good customs, and laws? Zhu Yijun didn't continue to bite and asked the question he wanted to ask the most, about the boundaries of freedom.

Lin Fucheng knew that this question was difficult, and he was also surprised by the knowledge of the Confucian scholars of Jingshi, so he asked directly about the foundation of the Songjiang School, and after a little thought, he replied: "Freedom, unfettered is also said. ”

He did not answer positively, but chose to answer the question in a roundabout way, vaguely answering, but the meaning was very clear, unfettered, that is, there was no constraint.

"Okay, since it's unfettered, then let's kill the master now, it's also our freedom." Zhu Yijun's hand pressed on the saber, Ti Shuai took the three Ti cavalry to move the same, and soon there were more than a dozen strong men in the Qingquan Courtyard, and their ostensible identities were the Tielin Army of the Great General's Mansion.

Everyone present knew that Huang Gongzi was bold, but they didn't expect it to be so bold at all.

"You!" Lin Fucheng was shocked, his eyes widened, walking in the north and south of the river, he had never seen such a reckless person, he said sharply: "You kill people in front of everyone's eyes, is it really Shuntianfu is the yamen?" ”

Lin Fucheng inadvertently found the truth, the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion is really the Yamen of Zhu Yijun's old Zhu family...

"Look, we are in the prime of life, we have a few supporters, and we are powerful, and we want to kill you like a chicken, at this time, Master Lin remembered that the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion was coming? This is no restraint of freedom, and in our opinion, it is just a fig leaf for bullying. Zhu Yijun didn't draw his knife, the fact is that freedom is never unrestrained and without any boundaries, and he is using facts to prove it.

"Huh, you're right, freedom does have to abide by public order, good customs and laws, please put away your blades." Lin Fucheng didn't dare not be intimidated, more than a dozen big men with fierce eyes were already ready to pull out the knife, and this posture saw that he didn't agree with each other, and he was going to kill him!

Lin Fuchengquan was a show when he met a soldier, and he couldn't explain it clearly.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand, and the horsemen disappeared into the crowd before he said: "Then master, please continue, don't forget, you must follow the most basic public order and good customs and the Great Ming Law." ”

The corners of Lin Fucheng's mouth twitched, and then he began to talk about the origin of the Songjiang School.

Everyone in Qingquan Courtyard breathed a sigh of relief, this Huang Gongzi of the Qi family has always acted boldly, and he really killed people on the street, I am afraid that he will only be reprimanded by His Majesty and there will be no follow-up, and even the emperor will not investigate deeply.

Qi Shuai led the main force of the Beijing camp to fight in the Hetao, if Huang Gongzi was punished, if Qi Shuai led the Beijing camp back, he would ask the emperor why he killed his family, and what should he do?

There is no bloodshed, everyone should praise Huang Gongzi's magnanimity and not worry about cheap Confucianism.

"There is a corner of Tessie called Cape Verde, which means the city of freedom, that is, there is no restraint, and anyone who is in the city of freedom will be free." Lin Fucheng's words are already a little lacking, and there is no order in the city of freedom except for freedom.

Walking on the road, it is possible to stretch out a knife from the back, hand over all the money on the body, and it is possible to survive, if you can't take out the silver, you will definitely die.

This is what Lin Fucheng heard from the mouth of the sailor Taixi.

Lin Fucheng is just a fool of the uninformed Ming people, anyway, no one knows the true situation of Taixi's Free City, isn't it that he touched the skin of his mouth and opened his mouth to talk nonsense? Far away, there is a city of freedom, where is the kingdom of the gods of freedom, and nothing else is to be avoided.

Zhu Yijun couldn't hold back a smile, he always felt that the knowledge of the Songjiang School was a little incompatible with the environment of the Ming Dynasty, and it took him a long time to know the root of this school.

It is completely from the edge of the sailor's word of mouth, the merchant ships are coming and going, the culture is colliding and communicating, suffering from the shackles of Confucian rules, there is no theory to support it, the wealthy Nanya covers the unrestrained luxury households that they want, and when they learn about the free city, the luxury households are fascinated.

Lin Fucheng was talking, and everyone in Qingquan Courtyard was listening, and after listening for a long time, the more everyone listened, the more confused they became.

"But by nature people are endowed with gifts, and he that is free is all. Therefore every man shall be free, and the first decree shall not be infringed upon by each other. After Lin Fucheng finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and drank a sip of water, saying so much, he was thirsty.

Yao Guangqi, the second eldest of the Yao family, raised his hand and said loudly: "Master Lin, are you sure you are talking about freedom, not non-aggression and love?" Mozi said, if you regard other people's homes as your own, how can anyone steal? If you see others as your own family, are there still thieves? ”

"The second child of the Yao family is still very knowledgeable." Zhu Yijun whispered to Wang Qian, Lin Fucheng talked for a long time, this foundation of freedom seems to be more in line with the Mohist doctrine of non-aggression and love, you love me, I love you, everyone is sweet, not unrestrained.

When Zhu Yijun gave a lecture on Lin Fucheng, he forced him to admit that freedom has limits, which led to Lin Fucheng not being able to use the unfettered phrase as a rigid one, and it was naturally unrecognizable.

"I'm actually very disappointed, I thought Master Lin had a high opinion, but it was just empty talk, Your Majesty said: Any beautiful country built in fantasy will often lead people to the wrong path of the abyss in reality." Yao Lao Er, Yao Guangqi, shook his head and said.

Yao Guangqi believes that His Majesty's set of theories based on practice is more suitable.
