Chapter 474: Four Natural Inferences
The Ming Dynasty is a very tough dynasty, at least in terms of national character.
For example, Qiu Fu, the first general of the Yan army and the first gong of Jingnan, led more than ten cavalry out of the fortress and was ambushed, and the whole army was annihilated in the Yuqu River, and after being captured, he did not obey, and the Tatars beheaded Qiu Fu, and Zhu Di began to conquer the grassland in person.
The Warat people brought the emperor's soldiers to the city of Beijing, and the Ming would rather change the emperor than repel the enemy, and wanted to return to the emperor Ming Yingzong.
But the Ming Dynasty negotiated peace in the second year of Longqing, and this kind of dead duck's hard backbone was interrupted.
And the participants in the peace negotiations are Zhang Juzheng, Gao Gong, Wang Chonggu, Yang Bo and others, which are the culprits who made Daming so weak.
Only when Altan Khan died, all the people of the Ming Dynasty, including the emperor's first and second auxiliary generals, could be decent.
It is precisely because of this that Tan Lun, Liang Menglong, and Pan Jitao have been actively clamoring for the repetition, because they know that everyone in the Ming Dynasty needs the Hetao from top to bottom, even if it is for the sake of decency, even if Xia Yan, the first assistant in the Jiajing period, was killed because of the repetition of the words, and the repetition of the repetition is still endless, going forward and succeeding.
Before leaving, Tan Lun knew that the Ming Dynasty had set up Suiyuan in Hetao, and he had no regrets, and Pan Ji took the holy decree and 10 million taels of silver to go to Hetao, mainly for coal, copper and silver mountains.
Daming is old, a little less young and vigorous, and a little more sleek and sophisticated, such as the recent roundabout route that Wang Chonggu did, Zhang Juzheng chose to agree, and relieved to completely hand over this roundabout route to Wang Chonggu.
Zhang Juzheng has always attached great importance to the followers, and he is a loyal supporter of consequentialism, which can be done, regardless of the method and method.
Emperor Ming Emperor is required to completely return the field, even at the expense of waging war, the Ming Dynasty ploughed again, must also be carried out, can not be done now, the future productivity must also be done, the steam engine has begun to roar, the process of industrialization has kicked open the door, that must be completely returned to the field to release productivity, increase the population, increase the number of craftsmen, this is the inevitable process of industrialization.
Zhang Juzheng repeatedly admonished, came up with a compromise to return the land to the sparse, the three processes, even to the point of the field, but only feudal reformism, to encourage the original village sages and gentry to become the owners of the workshop, the lower profit of the means of production land, in a more stable and gentle way, to the people, so this is called returning the land.
In the process of vigorously opposing, Wang Chonggu came up with a roundabout compromise to return the land, and used various conspiracies and tricks to lure and cover the luxury households, and completed part of the return of the land, which was not even feudal reformism, at most it was an attempt to change the relations of production for the sake of more craftsmen by the feudal emperor's supporters.
Even so, it's thrilling enough.
Zhu Yijun just sent away Pan Jitao, 11 million taels of silver, Pan Jitao took away two million silver, and the rest will gradually arrive in the Great Naturalization City within half a year.
It is worth noting that the Shengzhou open-pit coal mining plant has already been put into use, and there is no movement in Womagang because it needs to pass through the desert gallop road.
Qi Jiguang got 5,000 prisoners, opened a mountain to build a road in Shengzhou, paved a stone road, has operated and built part of the official house, all kinds of iron tools used in mining have begun to start, 5,000 people in the open-pit coal yard, the mining efficiency began to improve rapidly, these captives are all Han'er, and now they have to serve five years of labor in the coal yard before they can get free.
Zhu Yijun's progress in the Shengzhou coal quarry was unexpected, Qi Jiguang would fight, Zhu Yijun knew, Qi Jiguang would farm, Zhu Yijun knew, Qi Jiguang would open a mine, and Zhu Yijun also knew, but it was really unexpected for Zhu Yijun to drive so fast!
The Xishan Coal Bureau is not so fast!
When did Qi Jiguang, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, become so familiar with mining matters?
In order to clear up his doubts, Zhu Yijun wrote to the front line, and Qi Jiguang's reply also made it very clear that most of the guest soldiers he recruited in Zhejiang were miners, and mining was an old skill.
In Qi Jiguang's eyes, miners, potters, and craftsmen are all first-class soldiers, followed by the countryside, and the most inferior are the city people.
The people in the city can't use it, and the people in the city can't endure the hardships and their opinions greatly disturb the morale of the army; Those who like to embroider their legs can't use it, and the routines can only be handsome and can't kill the enemy; They can't use their official positions as officials, because they know that they are opportunistic and energetic.
Qi Shuai, the general of Daming, is also an old yin and yang person, and occasionally mentions the Yiwu people's bravery, good at fighting and fearless, and fighting without fear of death.
This is true, Zhu Yijun saw it with his own eyes, once in a Beijing camp drill, one side lost a red eye, there was a small flag, and he was about to rush over and die with the opponent when he carried the gunpowder bag, and he was stopped by someone.
Qi Jiguang's descendants are mostly Yiwu soldiers, in recent years, his style has gradually become stable, and the Yiwu soldiers have gathered under Li Rusong's account, Li Rusong is also a madman when he fights, and he has a group of madmen.
Zhu Yijun put away Qi Jiguang's letter and said to Feng Bao: "Qi Shuai wrote that the Marquis of Duntai found a big iron mountain, and he didn't know how to tell the court about the iron mine, which was near Womagang, and there was a very big iron mountain, open-air, and of high grade. β
Feng Bao and Zhang Hong looked at each other, and said suspiciously, "Huh? β
Suddenly falling from the sky pouring wealth and wealth, it is really unexpected, lack of silver and copper, no coal and iron is rotten, is the topic that the Ming Gong often mentions in these years, Yunnan copper is difficult, buried deep, but still have to do their best to use, the coal of the Xishan Coal Bureau is more than 30 zhang deep, and the coal must be dug up.
As a result, Qi Shuai has now reported a new mine, Tieshan.
If you can't finish harvesting, you can't finish harvesting at all.
In fact, it is very simple, near Womagang is the Central Asian metallogenic belt, and it is a porphyry copper-gold metallogenic belt, and the Waguo, Luzon, Borneo, and Chile are also rich ores, they are all distributed in the Pacific Rim metallogenic belt, and because of the plate movement, these places are also in the orogenic belt, and the mines in the ground are arched out.
It is not that the local officials in Yunnan are irresponsible and the people are not diligent, and in less than ten years, they have been surpassed by the red copper production of Luzon Tongxiang, but because of the natural endowment.
Zhu Yijun's diligence has surpassed most of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, he wrote letters to the generals on the border, never stayed overnight, listened to the government at the imperial gate, paraded the military horses, and had almost no time to rest, which made his grasp of information more than most emperors, forming a substantive authority, substantive imperial power, rather than an empty shelf, a human-shaped stamp that was fooled.
This allows Zhu Yijun to understand a lot of contradictions.
In the Age of Discovery, the profit of each one increased with the increase of distance, even if it arrived in the Ryukyus in exchange for the profit of sea goods, it exceeded 300%, if it could reach Taixi, then the profit margin would exceed 1000%, which was the reason why Felipe II was willing to continue the sea trade in the face of so many rude appeals of the Ming Emperor, and it was also the reason why the Ming Dynasty would rather sell land and exchange for sea power.
Haimao has become a very effective tool in Zhu Yijun's toolbox and in adjusting contradictions.
This is a summary made by Zhu Yijun in the process of Wang Chonggu's strategy of returning to the field in a roundabout way.
At this time, in the Quanchu Hall, Zhang Juzheng, the master of the Ming Dynasty, read the written book over and over again, and then threw it into the brazier, using an iron tong, instigating the book to burn, and the light of the flame overwhelmed the lime blowtorch, and the light was uncertain.
You Qi said with a complicated face: "Sir, why do you want to burn it." β
"It's not suitable now, it's not suitable, so it needs to be burned, and when the time comes, someone will have to sum it up." Zhang Juzheng seemed to be answering You Qi, and even more so answering himself.
"But ......" You Qi was stunned, he didn't know that this thing was going to be burned...
This is the distribution of the second volume of Zhang Juzheng's class theory, because after writing the second volume of class theory, he had insight into the content of the third volume, and when he saw the third volume, he couldn't wait to burn the second volume.
The first volume of class theory, which discusses the existence of classes and the formation of classes, naturally leads to the first inference:
The inequality in the possession of the means of production leads to the inequality of wealth and status, which in turn leads to the inequality of the control and distributable resources of various classes, and this inequality is inherently unjust.
This inequality, combined with the people-oriented program, gave birth to the current political logic of killing the rich and giving to the poor to reduce this inequality.
In terms of land tax, who is in the hands of the land to ask who collects the land tax, Chidao has a banknote customs and draw bureau, the five major cities in the hinterland, and the four major overseas cities to collect taxes from the wealthy businessmen who have the ability to circulate;
In the military, it is mainly to recruit soldiers from the countryside, not from the city, and the poor coolies in the countryside become the sharp soldiers of the Beijing camp, which is a class jump, such as Xiong Tingbi from herding cattle to becoming a protΓ©gΓ© of Taifu and a brother of the emperor's fellow disciples;
In the official factory, it is to recruit poor coolies to settle hooligans, to ensure that the Ming Dynasty will not have a civil unrest on the scale of the state and county, and becoming a craftsman represents a stable life;
The new policies of the Ming Dynasty, in general, are all centered on killing the rich and helping the poor, and reducing inequality, including the current abolition of untouchable status and returning land to the poor.
But!
The second volume of the class theory deals with distribution, and once the distribution is clearly explained, the second inference will naturally be obtained:
The use of violence is the main way to change class inequality, the use of violence can make distribution equal, and then eliminate inequality between classes, and the use of violence to fight for equality has a natural sense of justice.
This kind of justice also has a cultural foundation in the Ming Dynasty, and it is most intuitively reflected in Hai Rui's "Public Security Sparse", scolding Emperor Jiajing Jiajing, every family is clean, and Emperor Jiajing can't kill Hai Rui, and this kind of justice, there is a, a more violent expression is the roar of Daze Township: Princes and generals, rather have a kind!
As the hereditary martial artist of Emperor Yuanfu of the Ming Dynasty and a loyal supporter of His Majesty, Zhang Juzheng, from the second volume of the class theory, saw that when the rebellion was reasonable, the whole person was stupid, and he had been slow to write before, but he didn't know what kind of bad impact it would have if he wrote it, and after writing it, Zhang Juzheng knew that he shouldn't write it.
Zhang Ju is a reader, he also plans to keep it, occasionally look at it, feel his audacity, and then carefully hide it.
But after he briefly conceived the third volume, he immediately asked You Qi to bring the brazier.
Zhang Juzheng simply imagined the content of the third volume, the struggle, and got the third inference:
The violent conflict under the contradiction between classes is continuous, uninterrupted, and endless, and it will finally stop only after the elimination of classes, and the contradictions between the classes that intensify into violent conflicts will be alleviated after the redistribution of the means of production, and this struggle is inevitable.
This third inference points to a violent theory, the inevitability of the reincarnation of the dynasty, and the demise of the Ming Dynasty.
If we think along this line, the fourth natural inference must be related to the abolition of the imperial system.
Exploitation and class are unjust, violent struggle is just, the inevitability of violent struggle and dynastic reincarnation, the inevitability of the redistribution of the means of production, and the necessity of abolishing the imperial system.
Zhang Juzheng was about to burn the book after only two volumes, and he could not imagine what kind of drastic changes would be brought about when the contents of the fourth volume appeared and matured.
"Sir, it's burned at the moment, and future generations may not be able to summarize it." You Qi said with great certainty, the prime minister's front of the seven officials, Daming for so many years, only one Zhang Juzheng dared to reform the old and implement the new policy, trying to save Daming, and there was no more.
"You're right." Zhang Juzheng said with a slightly painful expression, the bright and extinguished fire illuminated Zhang Juzheng's already somewhat old face, and there were some wrinkles on his face, which made his expression even more gloomy.
When did you start to have so many bold ideas? Beginning with the theory of contradiction, the first volume of the theory of public and private, the theory of production, and the theory of class became more and more bold and deeper.
This whole set of narratives is logically self-consistent, and even in the theory of freedom, it is supplementing this set of narratives, and this set of narratives does not establish a complete and fictional 'world of great harmony'.
In addition, the whole set of narrative theories of freedom theory is memetic pollution, which will change everyone's thinking mode, but only he Zhang Juzheng has really broken the ideological steel seal, because in the face of indescribable horror, Zhang Juzheng is always the only one, and only Zhang Juzheng has witnessed it.
Even Zhang Juzheng himself knew that he had not broken the ideological seal, otherwise the second volume of "Distribution" would have been sent to the palace and presented to the imperial front.
No one is so bold to think about these issues anymore, and I am afraid that future generations will not be able to summarize these four inferences based on the theory of contradiction.
Zu Chongzhi's father and son's "Fixation Technique" disappeared in the long river of history, until the home of Wang Xijue, only to find a solitary book, and then I learned that the study in it is infinite differentiation and infinite product (sum), the study of irregularly shaped area volume.
The first volume of Zhang Juzheng's class theory has been printed everywhere, but it is really possible that the second to fourth volumes will not appear, and there is a high probability.
To write or not to write, that's the question.
"Forget it, it's completely unnecessary, isn't it?" Zhang Juzheng finally made up his mind, the burn was burned, there is no need to write it again, these four volumes are really finished, it is the four techniques of dragon slaying.
Zhang Juzheng, who has been updated to version 6.0, and Wang Chonggu, who has version 3.0, are not opponents at all.
You Qi's face was screwed together with sorrow, in fact, he wanted to say that it was useless to burn it, he had already taken it to the engraving, and even now the finished book has been sent to the palace!
"Sir, Wang Zhihe is here." The porter hurried over and handed the greeting post to Zhang Juzheng.
"Please."
Wang Zhihe went to Wenchang Pavilion, this is the study of the whole Chu hall, here in the fifth year of Wanli, after Zhang Juzheng Ding worried, His Majesty the Emperor let the Ministry of Industry overhaul it, mainly to prevent fire, carried out the transformation of steel concrete structure, the large window is bright and clean, obviously the latest use of flat glass in Tonghe Palace, quite thick, both warm and lighting.
Tonghe Palace was only replaced a few days ago, and Zhang Juzheng was also replaced here, which shows that there is no fundamental difference between the emperor and the Taifu.
"Gangneung Gong." Wang Zhihe and Zhang Juzheng greeted each other, Wang Zhihe frowned, and asked suspiciously: "Jiangling Gong, why is there such a heavy smell of fire?" β
"Burned something." Zhang Juzheng did not elaborate on what exactly was burned.
The gentleman is far away from cooking, and Zhang Juzheng's status makes it impossible to go to the kitchen to cook, that is, he burns something that can't see the light, and it is something that must be destroyed with his own eyes.
After a period of sunny polite words tonight, Wang Zhihe finally explained his intentions: "The luxury households in this Xitu City are very worried, let me lobby my father-in-law, they are worried that the imperial court wants to ban the sea again, and they want to monopolize the sea trade profits, that is, they can't take care of the taboo, so they have to come over." β
Wang Zhihe somewhat understood the doorway inside, and persuaded Nongsang, I am afraid that he is going to the foundation of the powerful right Tianmu, His Majesty wants to be the biggest landlord in the world, and the emperor has no sense of security when he is young, and it is understandable that he wants to be the biggest landlord and maintain his status.
"Don't worry about this, Your Majesty's heart to open the sea is extremely resolute." Zhang Juzheng said quite seriously: "Your Majesty's personal affairs of agriculture and mulberry are also worried about a problem, that is, the rich Tian Lianqian Mo, the poor have no place to stand, this is said to be the rich Tian Lianqian Mo, guarding the wealth for the country, slowing down the thieves to steal, border disturbances, annexation of wealth, willing to lose, are all the things of the court, but in terms of results, this is not the case at all." β
"The rich get richer, the poor get poorer, the world is turbulent, and Your Majesty will inevitably toss and turn."
"So persuade agriculture and mulberry as a national policy, recently, Your Majesty plans to include the land waste in the examination, once a quarter of the waste, it is the next evaluation, and then want to rise, it is as difficult as ascending to the sky."
The annexation of land by the rich is to preserve the wealth of the dynasty, which can delay the occurrence of civil unrest, thieves, theft, and robbery.
This is a lie that has been propagated by scholars and doctors all along, and as a result, the world is tired.
This is also the next thing to do, the proportion of acres of land is included in the test, once the inquiry is less than seventy and a half, it is the next evaluation, once this judgment is obtained, it basically represents the severance of the career.
"Isn't that a bit too hasty?" Wang Zhihe frowned and said, Da Ming completely lost the sense of urgency that he was going to die before, why was he so anxious?
Zhang Juzheng nodded and said: "Yes, so, there is no clear intention now, let's blow the wind first." β
Wang Zhihe understands that the meaning of blowing the wind depends on the situation and performance.
"Is it really just to persuade Nongsang?" Wang Zhihe asked with a solemn face.
Zhang Juzheng said in a positive manner: "Yes, persuade Nongsang, Your Majesty is in charge of Nongsang, knowing that the people's lives are not easy, this land is barren, and Your Majesty's heart is blocked." β
This set of narrative logic is very reasonable, His Majesty is a farmer, which farmer wants to see the fields barren?
Emperor Daming always has some strange hobbies, in the eyes of the courtiers, love farming is quite an ancestral legacy, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang is still farming in the palace, it is better than the Taoist master to cultivate immortals, the first emperor is a good woman.
Wang Zhihe really found that this set of statements is really leaky! Even Wang Zhihe felt that he had misunderstood His Majesty, but when he thought of Baoqisi, a layer of cold sweat rose on Wang Zhihe's back.
The emperor, Zhang Juzheng, and Wang Chonggu were prepared at all!
This thread can be traced back to the establishment of the original Hoki Division, a decree, the top-level building of the official election official, can endure for so long, and it is bound to be unjust.
Wang Zhihe stayed for a while and chose to leave, most of the luxury households in Xitucheng were from Nanya, and they were still waiting for Wang Zhihe's reply.
Wang Zhihe met Wan Shihe in front of the Quanchu Hall.
"Gong Jianchuan, I haven't seen you for many days, don't come unharmed." Wan Shihe said hello with a smile, after all, he used to be an official in the same dynasty, although Wang Zhihe retreated timidly, but he did not have any conflict with the imperial decree, and everyone could still greet each other when they met.
"Don't come here unharmed, my father-in-law has a bit of a private matter." Wang Zhihe greeted Wan Shihe for a while before getting into the car and preparing to return to Xitu City.
Wang Zhihe frowned and looked at Wan Shihe's back, this Ministry of Rites, what did he do when he came to the Quanchu Hall at night?
"Yuanfu, Your Majesty sent a decree, saying that Yuanfu wrote the second volume of this class theory, and specially ordered me to take it." Wan Shihe was not confused, and chose to get straight to the point.
Zhang Juzheng looked at You Qi, You Qi was quite frank, this matter was indeed notified by him to the palace, and Zhang Juzheng had confessed!
From the beginning of the emperor's illustration, Zhang Juzheng asked You Qi to send each book written out to the Sanjing Factory and Guozijian for engraving printing, Ma Ziqiang at that time, he also had to print books late at night, just for the second day.
It is even said that for the convenience of Zhang Juzheng, every time he writes a page, he will go to the engraving, which is to present it to the emperor as soon as possible, Zhang Juzheng's test method pays the most attention to the word efficiency, and You Qi, as the chief butler, of course, implements it very resolutely, and the writing is completed, and it is natural to know it in the palace, which is also a common practice.
This is Zhang Juzheng's special explanation, You Qi is just a big housekeeper, Zhang Juzheng did not specifically explain that this volume cannot be printed, You Qi is a bit conformist.
"Printed?" Zhang Juzheng didn't blame You Qi, the wise man made a mistake in the end, and he naturally got that inference after writing the second volume.
You Qi bowed his head and said, "It's printed." β
"Is it too late to burn?" Zhang Juzheng asked a little helplessly, and asked with some expectation.
You Qi said tentatively: "It's too late, it's already sent to the palace, whether it is burned or not, Your Majesty has the final say, or will Mr. persuade Your Majesty tomorrow?" β
"Book-burning pit Confucianism?" Wan Shihe immediately asked, such a thing as book burning, but it is a taboo thing in all dynasties, and most of the books that have been destroyed in all dynasties are nonsense, and what Zhang Juzheng wrote obviously has nothing to do with the nonsense.
Zhang Juzheng was silent, but fortunately, it was only the second volume, and the content of the third volume had not yet arrived, everything was in time, Zhang Juzheng still didn't believe it, in this world, there are other people who can write the third and fourth volumes! He is entitled to be so conceited.
Volume 2 isn't that dangerous.
"Take a scroll and give it to Uncle Zong." Zhang Juzheng gave up the idea of destroying books, and with His Majesty's temperament that is not afraid of the sky and the earth, and will withstand the collapse of the sky, I am afraid that he will not support the act of destroying books.
Wan Shihe didn't look at it right away, this kind of thing, you have to think carefully, think carefully, and then revise it, and the Ministry of Rites has to review it, and the same is true in Taixi, the inventor of Western movable type printing, John Gutenberg, has already done it, but Taixi's censorship system is also very perfect.
The Ministry of Rites is responsible for the etiquette, and some sentences need to be modified and annotated to prevent misreading.
"There's an interesting fact." Wan Shihe said happily: "I heard that the price of ships has risen now, and the price of one a day has risen from five hundred silver to three thousand silver each. β
"Huh?" Zhang Juzheng looked at Wan Shihe sluggishly, when he could change it before, he didn't see anyone chasing it, and now he has expanded the issuing unit, but the price has risen? What's going on?
Since the establishment of the Songjiang Prefecture Ship Division, 10,000 acres for a ship lead, has existed, belongs to the semi-sleeping department, only the urgent need to go to sea, only wait for the city ship to trigger the release, will someone to exchange, this exchange is a letter card, every year can get a ship to lead to the Kanhe.
There is no logic to this price increase.
"Originally, there was a definite number of ship leads. The bad is bad in this fixed number of words, originally 300 freely convertible ship leads, Songjiang City Bo Division monopolized, now five hinterland city Bo Division scramble, Songjiang Mansion only 60 sheets, this Songjiang Mansion rose, other city Bo Division followed up. "Wan Shihe thought it was interesting when he talked about it.
For example, after the Mizhou City Ship Division reviews the ships every year, it will issue 30 tickets, while Songjiang Mansion is 500 tickets, Ningbo is 300 tickets, Yuegang is 200 tickets, Guangzhou Dianbai is 90 tickets, and the free and compatible ship guidance is only 300 sheets.
Daming is bloated and rigid, and this time the policy only increased the number of issuers, not the number of issuances.
Didn't it just flip and rise all of a sudden?
Zhang Juzheng suddenly remembered the old thing, when the worsted wool was seven dollars a foot, and then Wang Qian made a drum, it soared directly to two silver per foot, and the highest time, even touched twenty silver per foot, Zhang Juzheng found that speculation is a bit elusive, maybe because of something, it will be full of turmoil.
"Do you want to take advantage of this trend and let go of the exchange?" Wan Shihe said with some excitement.
"No, just three hundred." Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said: "If you let go, no one will change it, it is to create a feeling that the boat guide is very scarce, Wang Cifu is right, it is a cheap bone, let it stand up, and fight backwards." β
"The more expensive it is, the more people cherish it!"
