"Superficial." Zhu Yijun scolded with a smile, and took Zhu Yijun to Taibai Building, whether he was happy or not, Zhu Yijun had to take Zhu Yijun around, not for any political purpose, but for fear that Zhu Yijun would ruin his body.

What's so good about the beauties of all countries, I don't know what Zhu Yiyi means by tinkering with those beauties of all nations in the palace every day.

Watching literati quarrel, it's not as interesting as watching martial arts wrestling, Zhu Yijun thinks so, Zhu Yijun thinks that Zhu Yijun is right!

It's not that he is the emperor, and he doesn't bother to pay attention to these literati arguing the scriptures, where is the Wenhua Palace's side hall making figurines interesting?

The steam engine, with a brutal attitude, is like a dragon that opens the gully (blasphemy: the ravine where the dragon was born), in the calm small-scale peasant economy, it dominates the storm and tears the lies of the small-scale peasant economy, which is not a paradise at all, but a fragile economy that threatens to displace everyone and ruin their families.

It's not fragile, it's a three-year stock of village sages and gentry who won't be crushed by natural disasters, not the people.

Eighty percent of the people are in extreme poverty, between the countryside, it is more than ninety percent of eight, before the census of Dingkou, Zhu Yijun decided to unimaginate, the Ming Dynasty has reached this point, the Ming Dynasty only has 100 million people, but controls almost all the suitable land in East Asia, Qingzhang Ming has nearly 800 million acres of land, and there are 150 million acres of land overseas.

In such a situation, the people of the Ming Dynasty were hungry, and when they encountered wind, frost, rain and snow, they were hungry and waited for the weather to clear.

What can Zhu Yijun do as an emperor? You can only do it if you don't die.

The production of land is limited, and it is unstable, but the work of the steam engine is not, the speed of the production of materials in the Ming Dynasty will be greatly improved, in the nineteenth year of Yongle, the Ming Dynasty has a total of 700,000 horses, which is the Ming Dynasty at that time to conquer the Mobei confidence, and now, the Ming steam engine, the equivalent horsepower of the magic machinery, is booming.

Iron horses are also horses.

For how to distribute this new productivity, even Ming Gong will be red-faced, precision manufacturing is changing everyone's perception little by little.

When Zhu Yijun came to Taibai Building, Wang Qian had already been waiting for a long time, and he was not qualified to run to the imperial study of Tonghe Palace to face the saint, so he could only meet the emperor when he was having a lot of fun, and as soon as he saw the emperor appear, Wang Qian immediately took His Majesty to the Tianzihao box with an excellent location to see the best place to see the bustle, and he would not be disturbed.

"Your Majesty, shall we start telling the story?" Wang Qian was already eager to try.

Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Qian, and said angrily: "Your father specially entered the palace for this matter to ask for guilt, can you let your father save some snacks?" Tell a story, can you tell a story casually? Worsted wool, boat lead, and even Jimo Zhang's have fallen apart, even if history is always ruthless against brainless victories, but you can't wield a sickle at will. ”

Wang Qian was a little depressed, he muttered and said: "Your Majesty doesn't tell the story of the steam engine, the dealers will also tell it, instead of letting them tell it, it is better for Your Majesty to tell it, at least the story told by Your Majesty is true, and the dealer is false." ”

Wang Qian's crooked reasoning always has a little bit of truth, for example, Zhu Yijun felt very deeply that good things are not circulating, and the sixteen-horsepower steam engine is a typical proof, it will not be sold at all, it is all digested internally, and even internal fighting.

And Wang Qian's crooked reasoning this time is also somewhat reasonable, that is, these speculators, these bookmakers, they always deceive people, but His Majesty's story never deceives people, this is something that is almost impossible in the trading house, that is, certainty.

This is the reason why Wang Qian keeps agitating momentum, and even quarrels with his father to the point of chasing and killing three streets, Wang Qian also wants to invite His Majesty to sit in the village, just like when the Ming Dynasty went to Xishan at every turn to invite the ancestor of Juzheng, the gap between the evil of human nature is traded in this place, which is full of deception and lust, and this kind of certainty is too needed.

"I know what you mean." Zhu Yijun said with a little embarrassment: "Then let's talk about the royal history, there is a sentence on the inscription wall of the Royal Gewu Academy, the one who does it is just faithful." ”

"Gotcha!" Wang Qian immediately cheered and jumped up, clenched his fists hard, and waved it twice, the story of worsted wool is told by Wang Qian, His Majesty gave clear instructions, no lying, no cheating.

If you don't lie or cheat in a trading house, that's still a trading house? It can also be that it is not a story, it is the development of productive forces, it is the change of nature by people, it is confidence, it is hope, and it is the future.

Zhu Yijun was waiting for the opening, but everyone arrived, even Gu Gongxie entered, but Lin Fucheng hadn't come yet, he always liked to be late, and when he got together for the first time in Xishan Dajue Temple, Lin Fucheng was the one who arrived late.

Today, Lin Fucheng is late again.

"This Master Lin always likes to hang people's appetites." Zhu Yijun unscrewed his glass, the glass was crystal clear, but in fact, a little bit of green could be seen, even if the quartz ore of Daming had undergone magnetic separation, it still could not remove the iron, and the glass made was more or less green.

Glass is not ceramic, nor is it jadeite, because it is not wear-resistant.

Lin Fucheng is very, very good at packaging himself, always using other people's requirements, deliberately being late and so on, to raise his own value, making people feel that people who come out with such three invitations must be very powerful.

The more famous Lin Fucheng becomes, the more Wang Qian and Zhu Yijun earn, and the wind power public opinion is wrapped in government decrees, this kind of thing happens again and again in the Ming Dynasty, and now, the Ming Emperor controls part of the Guangde Bookstore, which can be regarded as cultivating his own mouthpiece, and the Ministry of Rites personally fights against it, which is a loss of identity.

Soon, Master Lin walked on the stage, everyone's eyes widened, looking at Lin Fucheng on the stage sluggishly, Master Lin is known for his simplicity on weekdays, although his clothes are very clean, but he rarely looks like this, and his body is full of the word nouveau riche.

On the head with a golden crown, the crown is made of silk and satin, and the body is silk and satin, all of which are complete, and the complement is woven with Suzhou embroidered gold thread, and the waist is with a belt of silver and gold buckles, and a circle of jade is hung on the belt, and a folding fan is held in his hand.

In the lap of luxury.

"Master Lin's outfit, a few get three or five thousand taels of silver." The corners of Zhu Yijun's mouth twitched, in his impression, Lin Fucheng didn't seem to be such a sassy person, but now, he appeared here in a grand manner.

Today's job is good, from the moment he appeared, he was full of four words, bewitching and cheap.

"More than three thousand four hundred silver, given to him by the minister." Wang Qian shook his head and said, "I don't know what he's going to do." ”

"Thank you for your support today, Lin is very honored, today Lin is not what it used to be, with the help of nobles, I can finally have a luxury, Brother Gu, don't come unharmed." Lin Fucheng politely greeted everyone, including his opponent Gu Gongxie.

"Brother Gu before, I fought with me in this miscellaneous newspaper, pen and knife and ink, Lin is not talented, a small victory, but still feel unfinished, Brother Gu warmly invited, then I naturally do not avoid it, today, let's talk about luxury again." Lin Fucheng made a brief summary of the situation to the spectators who came to see the excitement, but didn't know why.

Gu Gongxie advocated luxury competition, while Lin Fucheng advocated suppressing luxury and banning luxury.

"I don't know what Master Lin is doing when he is dressed up like this?" Gu Gongxie was a little confused, according to Lin Fucheng's previous sharp views, he did not advocate luxury, but today's appearance is really weird, Lin Fucheng is wearing dozens of middle-class families for a year's income.

Could it be that Lin Fucheng is the kind of Confucian who does not integrate knowledge and action, with one thing in his mouth and one thing in his heart?

"I know that I have repented, Brother Gu is right, it is still good to be luxurious, and it is wonderful to compete in luxury." Lin Fucheng said with relief: "It's really to let go of personal quality, you can enjoy a life of lack of morality, I am not what I used to be now, with the help of the prince and the prince, why should I be wronged?" ”

"This crown, 200 taels of silver, this pair of shoes 400 silver, this shirt 1200 years of silver, see the two duck eggs in my hand? Cuisheng stone, harder than jade, more transparent and soft than jade, this pair, 1300 silver. ”

Lin Fucheng's words caused everyone to exclaim, Lin Fucheng played with two emerald green handles from the moment he entered, and now everyone can see clearly that it is the jade that has been popular in Beijing recently, that is, jade.

"I lent him 1,300 silver? Thirteen thousand silver could not be bought. "Zhu Yijun supports his forehead, this pair of duck eggs, the name is carved dragon pattern jade gourd, this thing has no price, it is a royal object used in the palace, and it is a gift sent to Beijing by the Qianguo Mansion, not just money can be obtained.

"It's still luxurious!" Lin Fucheng leaned on the back of the chair and directly blinded Gu Gongxie.

What is this? Today was supposed to be a meeting, it was supposed to be a war of words, but the result was good, Lin Fucheng directly admitted defeat and did not mention it, and turned himself into this, which was simply unexpected.

Lin Fucheng carefully put the duck eggs away, this thing is a borrowed prop, to return it intact, it really fell, Lin Fucheng couldn't afford to sell himself, he shook the fan, and said happily: "Brother Gu said before, there is the luxury of tens of millions of people, there is the livelihood of tens of millions of people, if you want to change the luxury of tens of millions of people and return to simplicity, it will make the livelihood of tens of millions of people almost extinct. ”

"If the vulgar is still very luxurious, the small people are quite easy to make a living, and the elders are governed by vulgar luxury, so they do not work and do not disturb the bottom, and talk about suppressing luxury and prohibiting luxury, but what? Naturally, it can't. ”

Gu Gongxie was a little stunned, these were all what he wanted to say, but they were all taken by Lin Fucheng! Today's gathering is full of weirdness!

"That's what I said!" Gu Gongxie immediately said, "What advice does Master Lin have?" ”

Lin Fucheng waved his hand again and again and said, "How dare you advise?" Take this pair of cuisheng stones as an example, they come from the Burmese Xuanwei Division, many people have not heard of the Burmese Xuanwei Division, the Burmese Xuanwei Division has the Xuanwei Division built in Yongle 13 years, surrounded by 20 miles, there are moats, city walls, Xuanwei Si Yamen, etc., where the people are fierce, and people make a living by logging and quarrying. ”

"I don't know which poor ghost, got the luck of the sky, dug up a stone with emerald stone from the mountain, the mine owner casually scattered a flying money as a reward, the poor ghost happily and thanksgivingly Dade left, and then this stone was opened, ho! It's full of emeralds inside! The mine owner knew that he had made a fortune, but he didn't think that this emerald treasure was known by the toast, how could the toast let it go? ”

"The owner of the mine could only bite his teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and handed over the Mancui jade to the toast, and the toast sold it to the Jia merchant in Tengchong, the Jia merchant knew that Huaibi was guilty, and returned to Yunnan with the treasure of Mancui, and found the master to carve, the master saw the treasure and had a different heart, and prepared to run away with the treasure, but he didn't think about it, the Jia merchant had already prepared, and the master lost his life."

"The treasure of Mancui has flowed into Jingshi, but everyone doesn't know much about the goods, and finally I bought it for 1,300 silver."

After Zhu Yijun heard this, he sneered directly, Lin Fucheng is simply nonsense, this is the Tusi of Myanmar sent to the Qianguo Mansion, and finally sent to the Beijing Division, which was carved by the craftsmen of the Internal Administration.

Lin Fucheng said sincerely: "You see, I got this piece of green treasure, the whole process, there are potters, miners, mine owners, toasts, businessmen, carvers, every piece on my body, is there the labor of thousands of people behind it?" This is the truth that one person is extravagant, and tens of millions of people are living! ”

"That's right." Gu Gongxie didn't understand at all, what did Lin Fucheng want to do, if he admitted defeat, why did he come? directly shirked the illness, and everyone knew that he had admitted defeat, as for engaging in such a set of outfits that he couldn't wear on weekdays, it specifically proved that his Gu Gongxie's point of view was right?

If you say it, you spill the water, this Lin Fucheng is going back on his word.

Weird.

This is not Gu Gongxie's feeling alone, everyone who came here sincerely felt absurd, how many people's blood and tears were behind these two duck eggs? The destitute household who opened the mountain on the mountain, the mine owner who trembled under the toast, the master carver even lost his life, and the bloody wind and rain all the way to Beijing, there is no need to think that these two duck eggs of great value must have the blood and tears of countless people.

Same with those silks.

"I entered the city yesterday and came back with tears in my eyes. Those who are all over Luo Qi are not silkworm breeders. Zhu Yijun thought of a poem, he frowned, guessing that Lin Fucheng wanted to use bloody examples to tell everyone about the cruelty in the process.

Lin Fucheng didn't make people doubt much, and said with a smile: "Brother Gu's point of view is actually the same as mine, both for the sake of the livelihood of these tens of millions of people, right." ”

"Right?" Gu Gongxie asked tentatively, this gathering seems to have won a big victory, but it always feels like there are traps everywhere.

Lin Fucheng shook the fan again and said, "I asked you, what did you ask me for." ”

"Right." Gu Gongxie finally gave an affirmative answer.

Lin Fucheng finally saw the dagger and asked: "What about the Xishan Coal Bureau, the Yongding Yongsheng Woolen Factory, the five major shipyards, hundreds of weaving workshops, cotton spinning workshops, and the 72,000 craftsmen on the Suiyuan Gallop Road, is it the livelihood of tens of millions of people?" This must be that there are now 250,000 people in the Ming official factories and sappers, which is the livelihood of thousands of people. ”

Gu Gongxie stubbornly said: "Of course it's the livelihood of tens of millions of people, we are talking about luxury, not the engineer regiment battalion and the official factory, Master Lin, don't divert the topic." ”

"It's important!" Lin Fucheng stood up and said loudly: "This Cuisheng stone is the luxury of the powerful right, so firewood, rice, oil, salt, clothing, food, housing and transportation are the luxury of most people!" ”

Since Lin Fucheng is here, he naturally has a point of view, not to fulfill Gu Gongxie, although everyone is from Nanya, but their views are not the same.

"This trick is that I finish what you want to say, and you have nothing to say." Zhu Yijun leaned back in the chair and finally understood Lin Fucheng's logic of facing the battle.

"Indeed." Zhu Yiyi also nodded and said: "Take the way you want to go, so that you have no way out, Master Lin still has something, and Master Lin is still very good at quarreling." ”

Lin Fucheng looked at everyone present, then looked at Gu Gongxie and asked calmly: "If you are powerful, you can be luxurious, but can the poor coolies also be luxurious?" If you are bound to have luxurious freedom, then do poor coolies have luxurious freedom? Their luxury is food, clothing, shelter and transportation. ”

"There's... Or not..."Gu Gongxie was already sweating, and he didn't know how to answer anymore, because all the things he wanted to say were said by Lin Fucheng in advance.

"I'll ask you." Lin Fucheng has grasped the complete initiative.

Gu Gongxie had no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Yes." ”

Lin Fucheng said sincerely: "That's it, there is the luxury of tens of millions of people, there is the livelihood of tens of millions of people, everyone can choose their own livelihood, abolish the slave status, strengthen the production relationship of personal dependence, and change to a free employment relationship, which is for the luxury of tens of millions of people, the luxury of firewood, rice, oil, salt, clothing, food, housing and transportation." ”

The quarrel between Gu Gongxie and Lin Fucheng seems to be a debate between the competition for luxury and the suppression of luxury and the prohibition of luxury, but in fact, the core is the debate between the abolition of the untouched slave status by the imperial court, which is very clear to both of them, and how to focus on luxury and explain the advantages or disadvantages of abolishing the untouchable slave status is the most fundamental key.

There is no doubt that Lin Fucheng won a big victory, Gu Gongxie lost a big loss, and the most important thing in this is whether the poor coolies should be able to have their own firewood, rice, oil, salt, clothing, food, housing and transportation luxury, and more bluntly, whether the poor coolies are human beings is a problem.

Gu Gongxie dared to say today that the poor coolies are not worthy, and the poor coolies are not human beings, and tomorrow the vegetable household camp and the water porter who will deliver him will not send them food and water, and the scholars and doctors can only go to the streets by themselves and become a laughing stock.

The imperial history of the Metropolitan Inspectorate is still carrying water on the street.

"I advocate luxury, not competition luxury, this is the main point I discuss with you, I do not advocate the prohibition of luxury and the suppression of luxury, that is, in the suppression of demand, from the point of view of production, this is completely untenable, but the luxury I advocate is that all people in the Ming Dynasty have the right to pursue beauty, and the cruelty of the stripping you advocate is not consistent, so in your eyes, I am talking about banning luxury, talking about suppressing luxury." Lin Fucheng looked at Gu Gongxie and said with a sad face.

In the debate, Lin Fucheng never advocated suppressing and banning luxury, from the perspective of production, it is a very stupid act, isn't that just cutting demand?

It's just that Lin Fucheng's advocacy of luxury and Gu Gongxie's advocacy are completely two directions.

"You are afraid, what are you afraid of?" Lin Fucheng sat down again, looked at Gu Gongxie and asked calmly.

"Whoever is afraid, who is afraid! Talking nonsense, talking together, talking about it, what are you afraid of, what to say. Gu Gongxie stood up suddenly, pointed at Lin Fucheng and said loudly, obviously breaking the defense.

Gu Gongxie is a wealthy and noble family, known as the Gu family of Wu County, there are hundreds of thousands of slaves in the family, Lin Fucheng is afraid of a word, Gu Gongxie was directly stressed, and all Sven was torn apart, revealing his true face.

"I'm afraid of how normal it is, the court is also afraid, I'm afraid that the poor coolies won't be able to eat, so they will rise up and rise together." Lin Fucheng said calmly: "Fear is never a shame, what are you afraid of?" I'm afraid that those poor coolies who have gotten rid of their lowly status are not Sochi, but their lives. ”

"There are many powerful people, you only need to kneel down and flatter as much as possible, you can survive, just like those slaves before, kneeling in front of you and trembling, in the past you were not afraid of hatred and not afraid of being strong, because there are more people who hate you, and you have not eaten one less meal, worn one less garment, and groveled to the powerful."

"I'm afraid now, it's not because the slaves in the past hate you and have the power to kill you, that's why you are so frightened and uneasy, the idea of absolute freedom can't be talked about anymore, and you come back to talk about the boundaries of freedom."

"Hmph,, it's just a vivid embodiment of the word "front and back."

Zhu Yiyi blinked and said in a low voice: "Brother Huang, is this Lin Fucheng scolding the street?" ”

"Well, we were still talking before, but now Lin Fucheng is personally attacking, scolding Gu Gongxie's head and rat at both ends, and the front and back." Zhu Yijun said with certainty that Lin Fucheng was behind him, and these were his personal emotional outputs, and they had nothing to do with his claims, he just looked at Gu Gongxie's displeasure.

And Gu Gongxie had no power to fight back, because Lin Fucheng knew their weaknesses very well, so he couldn't hide the fear in his heart by pretending to be calm.

Gu Gongxie's face turned red, and he clicked a few times before he flicked his sleeves angrily and left.

Zhu Yijun tilted his head sideways and said to Zhao Mengyou: "If you win, you will counterattack, and if you lose, you will hold a grudge, this Gu Gongxie will lose a big defeat, I am afraid that the hatred in my heart is higher than the mountain and deeper than the sea. ”

Renhe Xia's family, who had arranged Lin Fucheng clearly, became the half-county home of Renhe County.

Zhao Mengyou arranged it, Zhu Yijun asked Lin Fucheng to come over, and after a detailed discussion, Lin Fucheng carefully returned the two duck eggs to Huang Gongzi, and then breathed a heavy sigh of relief, this thing fell, and I really can't afford to pay for it.

After discussing the definition of freedom and the boundaries of freedom, Lin Fucheng began to discuss the free relations of production, even if Lin Fucheng did not practice it, but what he said and did was not cheap in terms of faithfulness.

"We were in the General's Mansion, and we saw a note, which was not copied by the Di Bao." Zhu Yijun plans to be a well-informed person and leak a little news to Lin Fucheng.

"Is that what I can know?" Lin Fucheng waved his hand again and again and said, "That's the general's mansion that has not been copied by the Di Bao!" Never, never. ”

Lin Fucheng was refusing, if he didn't get it right, he would set himself on fire, but his eyes were full of gossip eagerness, because he knew that this news was by no means simple.

"Eighty percent of the people in the Ming Dynasty have been running around for a year, and in the end, they can't even save one or two pieces of silver, and among the countryside, ninety percent of the peasant households are abjectly poor, and they are not hungry for food, and they don't eat food in the wind, frost, rain and snow, for fear of eating up." Zhu Yijun talked about the false prosperity that Da Situ Guoguang took the initiative to puncture.

Lin Fucheng glared, looked at Zhu Yijun, and said in a daze: "Huang Gongzi, this can't be nonsense, this..."

Zhu Yijun shook his sleeves, picked out the music in his sleeve and said, "Song Shu is here, do you want to take a look?" ”

"Don't look, don't look..."Lin Fucheng didn't dare to look at this thing, your Huang Gongzi was discovered, at most he was scolded by Qi Shuai, he Lin Fucheng saw it, I was afraid that he would squat in the cell for the rest of his life and die in prison.

"Fortunately, even if you are extremely poor now, you can mix a little sweet potato noodles with wind, frost, rain and snow, add some water to cook some porridge, and you are still hungry and have a sour stomach, but you can still eat a little." Zhu Yijun's expression was a little sad, and some luck, a very complicated expression, the promotion of sweet potatoes in the seedling fire room was started by Zhu Yijun when he was ten years old, and it finally achieved some results.

Fortunately, the people can still have sweet potato noodles to eat, but sadly, there is only one bite of sweet potato noodles.

Sweet potatoes are not a staple food, and they need to be converted to dry weight, but even so, as a famine relief, they are also excellent.

"Your Majesty is the Son of Benevolence." Lin Fucheng said from the bottom of his heart, this is the work of the people.

Zhu Yijun took Zhu Yiyi back to the palace, Lin Fucheng was sincerely embarrassed, Huang Gongzi took out the song, he Lin Fucheng didn't dare to look at it, was what Huang Gongzi said true or false? Lin Fucheng planned to go and see it in person, so he picked and chose Gaoyang County, Baoding Prefecture.

As soon as he said go, Lin Fucheng set off the next morning.

Lin Fucheng said that he would leave, and he was confused, so he had to dress up in disguise and go with Lin Fucheng, Lin Fucheng didn't know the current situation that he was now on the cusp, Jingshi was okay, he left Jingshi, he was killed, just find a tree to bury, who can find out clearly?

Not only was Ti Qi stunned, but Gu Gongxie, who was about to do something, was also stunned, ready to retaliate, but Lin Fucheng ran faster than a rabbit and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Murder is to be beheaded for public use.

"You're a Tiqi?" Lin Fucheng looked at his coachman, he had insight, the embroidered spring knife, but it was exclusive to the Tiqi, and it was not an imitation, this Tiqi also carried a fire gun.

Ti Qi nodded and said: "Well, Huang Gongzi has set up a doctor of the Five Classics of the Gewu Academy for Dr. Lin, and he is considered a person from the imperial court, and when the doctor of the Five Classics travels, he must be protected by someone to prevent accidents." ”

"The Doctor of the Five Classics of the Gewu Academy is also what Huang Gongzi can do? Hands and eyes to the sky! Lin Fucheng said sluggishly, he just went to Gaoyang County, Baoding to understand the people's suffering, and this is a doctor of the Five Classics?

Lin Fucheng still has great respect for the Royal Gewuwu, and all his ideas are pinned on the strange skills and tricks that the Royal Gewuwu has poured out, and the continuous development of the steam engine has made Lin Fucheng see the hope of everyone's freedom.

He looked worriedly at the official roads along the way, there were many people in Beijing, there were no trees, walking along the way, there were no trees on the roadside, and the mountains and rivers were bare.
