The system, or the rules, has never been Zhu Yijun, the emperor, patted his head, and he could do whatever he wanted, and at the beginning of the design of the system, it should be considered that it can be accepted by most people.

After the death of Tang Gaozong Li Zhi, Wu Zetian came to the dynasty to call the system, and finally ascended the throne and became the only female emperor in the history of the Central Plains, when Wu Zetian wanted to find an heir, Wu Zetian could not pass on the throne to Wu Sansi, because Wu Sansi was only Wu Zetian's nephew, had his own parents, and when he sacrificed, he would not kowtow to Wu Zetian, and Wu Zetian could not pass on the throne to Princess Taiping, whether she wanted to or not.

Shenlong coup, the prince Li Xian, the prime minister Zhang Khan Zhi, Cui Xuanwei and other ministers, led the troops to launch a mutiny, Lintai supervisor Zhang Yizhi, the servant Qing Zhang Changzong and other Wu Zetian's descendants were killed, the prince's army surrounded the Ziwei City Jixian Palace, forced Wu Zetian to abdicate, the next day the prince Li Xian supervised the country, the third day Zen let the big gift, the fourth day Li Xian succeeded to the throne as the emperor, and the country was restored to Tang.

In the same year, Wu Zetianxue, not called the emperor, called the great sage queen of Zetian, as the queen, buried in Qianling and Li Zhi together.

Whether Wu Zetian wants to or not, she can't let Wu Sansi or Princess Taiping succeed to the throne, she can't do it, if she is willing to be decent, everyone will be decent, she is not decent, naturally someone will help her be decent.

The rules need to be made by violence, and violence is not just about the army, but also about gunpowder, steel, silver, theory, and people's hearts.

Zhu Yijun has some expectations for the emergence of the Songjiang School, the Ming Dynasty is in an era of drastic changes, and ideological speculation is also particularly important.

For example, is it possible for the freedom advocated by the Songjiang School to break the deep-rooted personal attachment of the Ming Dynasty?

That is, in Wang Chonggu's "Please Juntian Service Shu", on the issue of hidden ding, the reason why the sages and gentry of the Ming Dynasty can hide the right is completely because of the strong personal attachment relationship, so that these meat eaters have become slave owners, and producers must become slaves because of the means of production.

This is Zhu Yijun's greatest expectation for the Songjiang School's liberal doctrine.

Yao Guangqi put forward his own refutation of Lin Fucheng's views, and he borrowed the emperor's words, any beautiful country built in fantasy often leads people to the wrong path of the abyss in reality.

Zhu Yijun's sentence is actually criticizing Confucianism, criticizing retreat, criticizing the nature of talking about one's heart, and completely ignoring the reality of practice, especially blindly emphasizing the importance of morality, while ignoring production relations and distribution.

The ideal country of Confucianism is the world of great harmony, everyone cultivates virtue, then the world can be the same, according to this idea, the feudal county system of the Ming Dynasty is gradually entering a dead end, the religion is becoming more and more strict, people are strictly bound by the religion, Confucianism is based on the goodness of human nature, the ideal country of fantasy, is leading the Ming Dynasty into the abyss.

Similarly, this criticism is equally applicable to Lin Fucheng's liberal school.

Lin Fucheng believes that the imperial court does not have to interfere, after complete freedom, will find a way out, such as the lack of tung oil in the market, naturally someone will plant it, fill this gap, the Ming Dynasty lacks silver, naturally someone will go to sea to find, because the supply and demand are there, as long as there is demand, there will be people to find a way to supply, driven by interests, there will be no gap, under freedom, everything will be flawless, the intervention of the imperial court, will deform the market.

This set is a bit like the Taoist rule of inaction.

But this set of Ming has been practiced, useless, during the Jiajing period, the Taoist self-proclaimed Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, living in the ninefold, inaction, for twenty-five years, the Ming Dynasty did not get better at all, but became a leaky house everywhere, and it was broken by kicking.

Yao Guangqi even more admired the emperor's practical theory learned from Mr. Zhang, Mr. Zhang's virtue is different from others, it is the virtue of doing the way and gaining, that is, in the continuous practice of constantly confirming what he has learned, the unity of knowledge and action, Mr. Zhang himself is also a follower, focusing on results.

Lin Fucheng squinted slightly at Yao Guangqi, Jingshi is really a place where Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! Such a person from a wealthy family actually devoted himself to studying, instead of being a fool, and every word hit Lin Fucheng's weakness.

"Then I'll ask you." Lin Fucheng began to fight back, he looked at Yao Guangqi and said, "Is the rude interference of the imperial court completely costless?" ”

"Absolutely." Yao Guangqi was stunned for a moment and immediately replied.

Lin Fucheng smiled, looked at Yao Guangqi and nodded, and said: "The craftsmen made by the official factory, the construction of the land, the construction of the workshop, the remuneration of the craftsmen, the reward of technological progress, shipbuilding, cotton spinning, wool, casting furnace, coal kiln, etc., which one, do not want silver like the sea?" No matter what you do, the imperial court has to pay a huge amount of silver, and in only nine years of Wanli, Your Majesty invested 37.12 million silver in the opening of the sea, and Your Majesty took out as much as 15 million silver from the internal treasury. ”

"Investment is to do business, seeking is return, doing business always has profits and losses, do you agree with this?"

Yao Guangqi frowned and nodded, "I agree." ”

Lin Fucheng slowly stood up, held his hands and said: "Excessive intervention by the imperial court will inevitably lead to an extremely serious problem, and the imperial court will have to pay huge expenses!" This expenditure is not necessarily rewarded, and the imperial court does not have so much silver, Yanxinglou trading house is going to be new, Suiyuan Chidao and Suiyuan Mining are ironclad proof! ”

"What is the essence of a ticket? In fact, it is also a debt from the imperial court to the people. Ship tickets are borrowed from the private sector to recover the cost of galleons as early as possible and further invest. ”

"The imperial court intervenes excessively, requires great investment, and the taxes cannot be satisfied, so it will inevitably borrow money from the people. The huge amount of investment from the imperial court, to put it at a high level, can be half implemented, it is enough to be comforting, and then because of the input, the output of goods will inevitably increase, then the demand will decrease, the price will fall, and the return of the imperial court will inevitably decrease. ”

"The industries that His Majesty invested in before, shipbuilding and weaving, were not disadvantageous, but they were not any business, and they all had such rich returns."

"When the income is greater than the expenditure, the imperial court can still maintain it, and the income is less than the expenditure, how can the imperial court maintain it? You can only use taxes to fill it, and in the end you can't fill the hole, you can only encourage it to be maintained, isn't this going around and going back to the past? ”

Zhu Yijun immediately spoke: "Master Lin, why do you conclude that the income of the imperial court will definitely be less than the expenditure? ”

"That's a good question." Lin Fucheng said with a flushed face: "The first reason is that the investment of the imperial court cannot be fully implemented, and most of the silver from the top down will be corrupted!" None of you are young men, this is very clear when you think about it, this is the reality! ”

"The second reason is rigidity and bloat, this is inevitable, a few days ago, the Songjiang Shipyard was found to be empty by the governor, and there are a large number of people!"

"The third reason is ineffective investment, the imperial court is the largest collective in the Ming Dynasty, it is the public, it needs to build water conservancy, need to build bridges and pave roads, need to build schools, need to spend money to support Mr. Teaching, the court's social science, county school, government school, Guozijian, are not profitable, is to hope to cultivate talents, but some time ago, the boat master trained by the Songjiang Maritime Academy, just because the court wants to add schools and expand recruitment, it caused an uproar."

"There are many drawbacks to the investment of the imperial court, and the most important thing is to be rigid, because the production of commodities increases, the demand is satisfied, the price will inevitably fall, and the return on assets will only get smaller and smaller, but the imperial court is rigid, so that it is difficult for the ship to turn around, and the bloated redundancy brings high costs, the return on assets decreases, the cost increases, and the income of the imperial court will definitely be less than the expenditure!"

"The return on the assets of the imperial court will decrease year after year, and at an extremely fast rate."

"If income is less than expenditure, there will inevitably be debt, and the debt will continue to expand, and what can be good when the whole world is in debt?"

"I can assert here that the law of the government, factories and regiments will inevitably fail!"

Lin Fucheng was aggrieved for a day, and finally won back on this issue.

To be honest, the other party's rebuttal is sophistry, which is the dilemma of the imperial court, and it is not something that can be changed by setting up a moral model like Hai Rui.

Corruption, bloat, rigidity, ineffective investment, and declining return on assets year after year are all unavoidable problems in the law of government, factories and groups.

In particular, the rate of return on assets, the assets invested by the imperial court in huge amounts, the returns have decreased rapidly over the years, the demand has been satisfied, and the supply is still sufficient, the price will inevitably fall, and the problem of bloated redundancy is further exacerbated.

As Lin Fucheng said, the government-factory group building will inevitably come to a dead end.

Zhu Yijun clapped his hands, Lin Fucheng's words still have some truth, and Zhu Yijun also understood why Shen Shixing asked for his life, and put part of the investment in opening the sea into the trading bank, and the risk needed to be apportioned downward.

"If there is a problem with the official factory, there will be no problem with the private square?" Yao Guangqi immediately said dissatisfiedly: "Just the day before yesterday, my father Yao Changzhen took stock of the family's business, and felt that something was wrong everywhere, so I had to beg my grandfather to tell my grandmother and send the account room to the accounting room under the Royal Gewu Academy, okay, it doesn't matter if this account is made, our family earns 300,000 taels of silver, and our family's big shopkeeper, shopkeeper, account room, and big boss will earn us 400,000!" ”

"The corruption in Minfang is even more serious, the imperial court still has the Metropolitan Procuratorate, there is the governor patrol, and there is the Beizhen Fusi, what does the Minfang have?"

Yao Guangqi is a powerful family, he felt the pain of Zhang Siwei back then, Zhang Siwei is a scholar who does not hold an abacus, the family's silver was eaten by the people below seventy percent, their Yao family is slightly better, Yao Changzhen has abandoned Confucianism and has been in business for many years, just this, fifty and a half were taken away.

There is a malaise of corruption in the government factory, but there is no corruption in the private square? Is the greed in human nature only reflected in the official factory, and when it comes to the people's square, the greed of human nature immediately becomes a moral saint?

"Bloated and rigid, my father finished checking the accounts, and I couldn't sleep all night long, so I planned to clean it up and get rid of all the moths in the family business, but before I started it, I found that I couldn't do it, Master Lin, your knowledge is good, but you are not arrogant, and you don't understand our pain at all." Yao Guangqi's face was painful.

Lin Fucheng's family background is not good, at most it is a Chinese family, obviously he doesn't know so clearly about the pain points of the powerful family, he asked suspiciously: "Why can't you clear it, why can't you clean it up with the people hired by your family?" ”

"If you don't clear the fittest, you can still survive, and after the sitting, you will definitely not be able to maintain it, it's strange, right?" Yao Guangqi said helplessly: "My father was preparing to clean up, and I tried it first in a silk village, but the relatives and friends of the shopkeeper and the account office all avoided the cleanup, but the people who did the work were driven away. ”

"What is the nature of bloated redundancy? It's nepotism, it's appeasement, these moths themselves are protected by someone, and the knife of Qingtai can't cut them at all! ”

"Ugh."

Yao Guangqi's words aroused the agreement of everyone present, since the account books of Zhang Siwei's family were audited by the royal accountant, this has become a special business, many powerful families, have begged grandpa to tell grandma to send the account books to the accounting office under the jurisdiction of the Royal Academy of Things, to see their own problems, since the implementation of the six-book one-account income and expenditure accounting method, it has solved the account problem.

However, the more serious problems were not solved by the imperial court, and they were all painful for everyone.

People who don't do things are moths because there are people above them, and layoffs can't cut moths at all, but the more they are cut, the more inefficient and bloated they are.

It's a dead knot that can't be untied.

"The court wants to be cleared, and if you say that you will cut off your head, you will cut off your head, and the private lynching has been discovered, and we all have to be taken off by Your Majesty, really, hey!" Wen Shui Wu Clan's Wu Shizhang said bitterly.

This problem, in their Jin people and businessmen, is particularly serious, and the most tricky, out of the plug to do business is more dangerous than going to sea to do business, don't do business with your head on the belt of your pants, call you an owner to save face, don't give face, just cover your face, even people bring goods, and rob it again.

"Then since the moths were brought in by the big shopkeepers and shopkeepers, why not start directly from the source?" Lin Fucheng felt that these powerful people were a little bit unthinkable, and since he knew where the problem was, he could do it directly.

Sun Kehong's son Sun Baoren is extremely wealthy, and when he heard Lin Fucheng ask, he immediately sneered and said, "When Master Lin's feet hurt, why didn't he cut off his hands and feet?" ”

"Hahaha!" Wang Qian leaned forward and leaned back with a smile, which immediately caused everyone to laugh.

"Then that, can the private factory be closed, can the official factory be closed? The official factory is the imperial court! Lin Fucheng's face was red with laughter, he clenched his fists, and said loudly: "The private square can't continue to operate, you can close the door and reopen at the right time, this is the advantage of freedom, the official factory can only find a way to maintain, this is the fundamental difference!" ”

The official factory of the imperial court is closed, which is the loss of face of the imperial court, and the imperial court must not close its doors.

"Feelings are not a family business." Yao Guangqi chose to sit down, as long as it can continue to operate, sometimes it will lose money, as long as the industry is still there, the hope is still there, and when the door is closed, there is no hope at all.

Lin Fucheng is a master of Confucianism, everyone admits this, but when it comes to doing business, the luxury households here understand it more thoroughly.

The bloated corruption and redundancy are brought about by the big shopkeeper, and the owner directly does not solve the problem, but often makes the situation worse.

This is also the reason why Xitucheng covers luxury households, merchants in the northwest of Jin, are so sought after for ship tickets, and even rob the emperor's national debt, the national debt is thin but stable, those headaches are handed over to the wise Majesty to have a headache, and the beauty of the Qinglou is really fragrant.

"In fact, the official factories of the imperial court can also be closed." Zhu Yijun took a sip of water, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Qingquan Courtyard finally quieted down, this Young Master Huang has a bad temper and likes to do things.

Zhu Yijun sighed and said: "During the Yongle period, in order to go to the West, Emperor Cheng Zuwen set up a total of 27 shipyards, even Jilin, speaking of Jilin shipyards, I'm afraid few people know, our Ming Dynasty is now only five government-run shipyards, after Xuande, there is no going to the West, the shipyard began to reform, the craftsman was sent home, and the shipyard was abandoned. ”

After studying the matter of the Ming Revolution's dismissal of the Western Ocean, where did those shipyards and ships go, and got an answer, the ships quietly rotted on the berths, slowly sinking in the rivers and seawaters, and the shipyards were deserted, covered with weeds, and slowly turned into wasteland.

At that time, the Ming court was not very short of silver, and the Ming Dynasty also had a sea ban, these shipyards were all deserted, only the Longjiang shipyard outside Nanjing, because the Jiajing period had to build a sealed boat, and went to Ryukyu to canonize the king of Ryukyu, so it was reactivated.

"And this ineffective investment, is it really ineffective? There is no talent, who will work for us, scattered and scattered. "Wu Huairen of the Dongting Wu clan stood up and left directly, his family is a maritime merchant, there is no maritime academy, they don't even have a boat master! Because there isn't any!

Why did the Songjiang Sun clan ride the dust in the sea trade and leave others behind? It's not that people donated 1.2 million silver to the Maritime Academy, and the Maritime Academy gave Sun face up and down.

Is Ineffective Input Really Ineffective? It has been nine years since the opening of the sea, and the construction of water conservancy, canals, bridges and roads, all seem to be thankless, but everyone is a beneficiary.

The investment of the imperial court regardless of the cost, especially the ineffective investment that was scorned by the free people, is a long chain and a great cause that benefits everyone, while private investment is just a short chain and a business that benefits very little.

How many people have been fed by the upstream and downstream of the five shipyards, and how many of them have benefited from the opening of the sea in Wanli?

The imperial court has reason and necessity to invest in these long-chain industries that benefit the public, and if you really listen to the views of the Songjiang School, the imperial court will no longer invest, who will do these thankless tasks?

It is illusory not to discuss reality, but only to discuss the beautiful country established in fantasy, and the free city in the corner of Tessie is only built by liberals with their mouths, not reality.

After Wu Huairen got up and left, most of the people left intermittently, and Lin Fucheng's lecture undoubtedly failed.

"Why are they all gone, how do I think what Master Lin said is still very reasonable." Zhu Yijun looked left and right, there was really no one left, just his table, there was a Wang Qian, if the emperor didn't leave, how could Wang Qian dare to move?

"The gentleman who is so valuable can be eclectic and learn from others, the emperor's grandfather is really atmospheric!" Wang Qian had to admit that His Majesty was really magnificent, and His Majesty actually felt some truth in such a rebellious remark!

"Mr. taught, Mr. said, whoever is in the position of respect, will be respectful and obedient, will open the door, squatting quietly to take advantage of it, admonish, do not vibrate with authority, do not speak with words, learn from his words, but choose considerable, for the wise man for the way of government." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, but he was sure to repay it.

This is not Zhang Juzheng's original, it was said by Liu Xiang of the Han Dynasty clan, which means that the superior should respect his subordinates, listen to what others say, listen to what is good or bad, and not just pick the good and bad words, this is the door, don't put me on a more noble shelf than you at every turn, let others shut up, only if there are more people who say it, learn from the strengths of others, widely adopt the views of others, and choose to adopt, which is the road of wise people.

If it's stupid, it's better to follow the script, otherwise you'll be fooled and lame.

After understanding the basic logic of the operation of society, it is the best way to distinguish between right and wrong.

"Master Lin, do we have a few incomprehensions, communicate one or two?" Zhu Yijun is still very interested in this liberal, at least it is not exactly the sophistry of the cheap Confucianism that ignores the facts.

Lin Fucheng looked at the lonely person left, his face could be described as mixed, there was loneliness, there was some relief, the lonely thing was that they were all gone, and the relieved thing was that there was still one left.

"What doubts does this boy have?" Lin Fucheng walked over, and there was not so much red tape, so he sat down directly, and with this action, Ti Shuai Zhao Mengyou's knife was almost pulled out.

Zhu Yijun immediately asked: "Why does the master think that the official factory group construction will inevitably fail, and he still says it so conclusively?" ”

"The official factory is just a military guard, Wang Chonggu is just a minister, how can he have any pioneering moves, then the official factory group building that started from the official factory is not the military guard at the beginning of the country? When Emperor Taizu Gao was there, this military guard was fine, but after Emperor Taizu Gao left, Emperor Cheng Zuwen maintained it no matter what, and finally the military guard was completely ruined. Lin Fucheng answered this question with the old god present.

There is almost no difference between the regimental construction of the official factory and the military garrison at the beginning of the country, except that one is to place the hooligans as craftsmen, and the other is to place the hooligans as guards, both of which are given treatment and means of production, the official factories give stable labor remuneration, and the military cantonment guards give fields. There is a craftsman school in the official factory and regiment, and there is also a health school and social science in the military tun guard.

Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and shook his head and said: "It's still different, the means of production of the military tun guard are acres, while the means of production made by the official factory are the official factory itself, and the output of the acres is the right time and place, two points, three points of management, and five points of fertilizer, it is difficult to have a big breakthrough, and the government factory is different, the official factory is continuous technological progress." ”

"It makes sense." Lin Fucheng frowned, the land is affected by the right time, place and people, and it is difficult to make a breakthrough in the production of land, but the upper limit of the production mode of the official factory With the continuous progress of technology, there is indeed an upper limit that cannot see the end.

"You see, this Xishan Coal Bureau, in the second year of Wanli, is only 50 or 60 million catties of coal, and now it is at least 560 million catties a year, and 50 or 60 million catties of coal can not even meet the degree of 10,000,000 people in Beijing, but 560 million catties of coal is a steady stream of iron, which can supply iron tools in Gyeonggi, Xuanfu, Datong, Shandong, and Liaodong." Zhu Yijun gave an example to support his point.

He pointed to Wang Qian next to him and said, "Wang Qian, the son of Wang Cifu, you can know if you ask him, what we said is right or wrong." ”

Lin Fucheng fell into silence, this young man made sense.

Zhu Yijun and Lin Fucheng chatted for an hour, and the harvest was extremely rich.

Zhu Yijun got into the car and said to Feng Bao: "That Lin Fucheng's "Easy Stories", every issue sends a copy to the royal court, he still has something. ”

Zhu Yijun and Master Lin's private communication clearly knew the source of the Songjiang School, which is the fantasy Taixi Free City, and the real Taixi Free City is just a pirate's nest, and the emperor also knows the foundation of the Songjiang School, that is, why the powerful and powerful right of Nanya should support the spread of the Songjiang School.

There is a reason why Wang Chonggu's book "Please Juntian Servant Shu" was scolded to the point that he had to avoid it.

The fundamental reason for the support of the Songjiang School is that Wang Chonggu said that the hidden ding, more precisely, the strong personal dependency relationship in the past, because of the census of Dingkou and the official factory group, it has become precarious.

The ineffective input that Lin Fucheng talked about is gradually disintegrating the production relations of slaves and slave owners in the past.

There are a lot of ineffective inputs in the official factory group, such as the craftsman school, such as the women's school weaving institute, and the labor remuneration will be settled, at least in order to maintain the face of the imperial court, the labor remuneration of the craftsmen may be in arrears, but it will generally be settled at the end of the year.

Every year, some craftsmen go to the Huangji Gate to see the emperor, and once a certain craftsman says in His Majesty's ear, I work and don't give me money, it is the wrath of thunder falling from the sky.

Lin Fucheng talked about another point that was unacceptable to the luxury households, that is, the craftsmen who lived in the Ming Dynasty worked in the official factory, and they did not have to worry about food, clothing, housing and transportation, and their personnel were in the Ministry of Officials and the Department of Officials.

This has led to a very interesting phenomenon, the Ming Dynasty craftsmen, in fact, are not afraid of the big boss, the will to do, the charge d'affaires, the chief of these meat eaters, because these meat eaters, can not let the sitting craftsmen lose their most precious thing - weaving.

This is simply impossible in the folk square, where a big boss can make people difficult to death.

What I like most about work is that I have more money and less things to do close to home, and the craftsmen who live there have achieved this goal in a sense, and in a sense have gained freedom.

The treatment of the craftsmen who live in the official factory group makes the craftsmen of the private workshop think about one thing all the time, that is, to find a way to enter the official factory group and become the beneficiary and part of the torrent of the Ming Dynasty's revival.

In a nutshell, the ends of the universe are all compilations.

This is a subtle transformation of production relations, the craftsman in the official factory, far beyond the private workshop, this is the imperial court deliberately, the main purpose, is for the technical progress of the official factory group, countless whimsical ideas, the need for craftsmen to think about the solution in production, the Ming Dynasty court's five-class merit reward system, the same applies to the official factory group.

And Wang Chonggu made a census of Dingkou, and it was a sharp knife inserted into the hearts of luxury households.

Zhang Juzheng returned to the field and Wang Chonggu surveyed Dingkou, which was basically digging the ancestral graves of the virtuous and gentry in the countryside and the powerful and powerful.
