Moist snow trillion year.

On the city wall, the snow is like a tug, dancing pear blossoms, after the night outline, leaving a layer of translucent crystal.

The rules of the palace are big, and the six bureaus are busy preparing for the New Year's etiquette, and the most transcendent of them is Zhu Gaochi.

As a prince, Zhu Di must participate, and with his laissez-faire, Zhu Gaochi has great autonomy and can do things according to his own wishes.

on the streets.

The servants organized by the government cleared the snow from the ground.

Walking on the clean street, Zhu Gaochi felt very comfortable, followed by Li Biao and Zhang Quan, and the two of them wondered about Zhu Gaochi's pleasure.

"Don't underestimate this hygiene, it represents civilization." Zhu Gaochi explained.

There are a lot of pedestrians in the city.

Before the end of the year, many people go to the city to buy New Year's goods, and the shops are smiling from ear to ear, exuding enthusiasm from the inside out.

It's going to be the New Year, and people are kinder and more tolerant than ever.

"Hygiene?" Li Biao was inexplicable.

"Do you see if the street is clean?" Among the pedestrians, Zhu Gaochi pointed to the ground.

In fact, comparing the standards of civilized cities in later generations, Zhu Gaochi does not feel that there is anything outstanding, but this is the Ming Dynasty.

"It's neat."

"But this cleanliness is also the result of thousands of years of hard work by the ancestors."

Zhu Gaochi explained: "After development, in the Tang Dynasty, the "Tang Law and Discussion" was formulated, and penalties were formulated for the behavior of dumping garbage everywhere, as well as the behavior of unfavorable supervision, and the serious ones were punished with 60 boards. ”

"There are people in the city who specialize in cleaning up feces for life, and the so-called three hundred and sixty lines, the best in the industry, do this business, don't think that they are all bitter haha, some people have become very rich because of this."

Li Biao and Zhang Quan felt incredible.

As for the servants in the city who were in charge of cleaning up the excrement, they really couldn't think of how these people could get rich.

Zhu Gaochi smiled.

Why he likes to explain history to the people around him, because it can raise national consciousness.

What is national consciousness? In ancient times, there were.

For example, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when the old slaves slaughtered the Liao people, they called the Ming people Han people and killed the Han people.

Liu Xingzuo, who awakened the national consciousness, the master of the four guards of Jin, Fu, Hai and Gai, the most trusted Han general of the old slave, and Huang Taiji's favorite brother, took the initiative to contact the Ming court to return to the Ming Dynasty and make the Ming Emperor incredible.

In the absence of external support, the internal Houjin was reused and trusted him the most, he still held high the banner of anyway, which shocked the entire Houjin.

In the end, he was exiled to Jinjiang Town, and later returned to China. In the battle to defend the capital, he led 800 people to support.

The Jin army, who learned the news, hated him too much, and went all out to besiege and kill him, and fought several times, and Huang Taiji personally ordered that this person must be killed.

After learning that this person was buried, he still did not understand his hatred and ordered to be pulled out and the body divided.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi wants to instill history to the people around him, and he needs it even more when he is in a position of high power.

The ancestors had a national consciousness, but the degree was not enough, how to improve people's national consciousness.

History.

A person who does not understand history will definitely not have as much affection for the nation as a person who understands history and loves history.

A nation without a national consciousness has absolutely no future, and will inevitably experience hardships and then be eliminated from the jungle of the world.

So what is history?

Zhu Gaochi said to Li Biao and Zhang Quan: "It is recorded in the "Taiping Guangji" that Pei Mingli, a native of Hedong, is good at managing his business, collecting the discarded things in the world, accumulating them, and using his family property to make a huge fortune. ””

In the Song Dynasty, the "Street Division" was established, which was a specially set up yamen to manage urban environmental sanitation, responsible for recruiting "cleaners", giving a monthly salary of "2,000 money, a collar of green shirts", and was responsible for cleaning the streets and cleaning up domestic garbage every morning. ”

"So the living environment that you are accustomed to is a civilization left over from the ancestors, you must know that this is not the case."

"The world is very big, many countries live in an environment where the streets are full of feces and urine, and 50 years ago, because the urban environment in the West was so dirty, the countries of the West fell into a disease called the Black Death, which spread throughout the West, and in this epidemic, only one-third of the population of the entire West died."

Li Biao and Zhang Quan became more and more incredulous, and Zhang Quan said in shock: "It sounds uncomfortable, living in an environment of feces and urine, who can stand this."

"When I followed the prince from Yingtianfu to Beiping, I passed through a county town, the environment was extremely poor, and the prince also scolded him bitterly, and he was unwilling to enter the city."

"I thought that this county was already the worst in the world, but today I listened to the words of the little prince, and it turned out to be good."

Zhu Gaochi smiled and didn't speak.

That's for sure, otherwise in the Wanli period, in the West in the Age of Discovery, those arrogant missionaries who came to praise the Ming Dynasty as an ideal country.

However, many civilizations are a small boat in the long river of history, like a boat sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, and in the Qing Dynasty, the evaluation of foreigners at that time was a stupid country.

Therefore, everyone must dedicate their strength to civilization, because this is not only for others, but also for themselves.

After all, the nation has been destined since birth, and it cannot be changed, even if it goes to another country, no matter how good or bad it is, it is still the same on the label.

"It's incredible that a person who collects dung can become hugely rich." Li Biao still couldn't accept it.

"This is created by the social model, although we say that the Song Dynasty system, but it is still a little different from the production model of the Great Song Dynasty."

Zhu Gaochi explained.

The three of them walked into a grocery store, and on one side of the window, there was a new coal stove with a kettle on the coal stove.

The heat of the new-style coal stove made the shop a little warmer, and after coming in, the three of them only felt warm.

"Guest officer, what do you want to buy?" The guy walked up and smiled enthusiastically.

Zhu Gaochi looked at the goods.

Compared with the past, there are more types of goods in the city of Beiping, which is a good thing, and proves that the productivity is progressing.

A few playthings were selected, Zhang Quan paid for it, and Li Biao helped hold it.

It's the New Year, buy some things and go home, give them to my sisters and sisters, make them happy, and Zhu Di is also comfortable when he sees it.

As a father, Zhu Di will definitely hope that his heir will attach importance to the love of brothers and sisters.

Soon.

The officials and generals of the guards came to the palace in an endless stream to meet the prince and congratulate the prince, and the family members of each family also came to the door to meet the princess.

The whole palace is full of traffic in front of the palace, the frame of the gift stretches for several miles, and the main street in front of the palace is blocked by water.

In the Northern Parallel Province, Kaiping Zhuwei, Daning Zhuwei, and even Jinzhou Wei, there are nearly 40 Wei.

There are five thousand households in a guard, plus the deputy thousand households, and the officials above the thousand households, as many as hundreds.

As for the 100 households, except for some 100 households with high qualifications, they basically have no qualifications to come to the door.

But this year, there is one more way.

There were a few clever hundred households who tried to submit a letter of worship to the Shizi Mansion, which attracted the attention of officials below the thousandth household.

Wang Zhen is a smart man, he visited the little prince as a forest farm, got an audience, and entered the prince's mansion.

Outsiders don't know, they just think that he entered the palace as a hundred households, no matter what tricks, it is a good trick to enter the palace.

If you can enter the palace, you will prove that you are your own person in the palace.

So the hundreds of households who got the news this year were either prepared in advance, or hurriedly went to the street to buy gifts and go to the road of Shizifu.

The streets of the palace were already not enough, and the number of gift-givers suddenly increased tenfold compared to previous years, which caused a headache in the Changshi Mansion.

"The salary of 100 households is not as good as that of 1,000 households, so it cannot cause new problems." After Zhu Di learned about it, he said worriedly.

Officials from more than 1,000 households sent gifts to the palace, and the palace received the gifts, and both parties were happy.

If the palace does not accept it, not only will it not make the thousands of households happy, and they feel that they have saved a lot of money, but let them be separated from the palace, worrying that they are not their own people.

If this kind of relationship is expanded to 100 households, Zhu Di is afraid that 100 households will loot the military households for the sake of luxury gifts.

Jin Zhong said with a smile: "With the understanding of the little prince among his subordinates, the little prince should be prepared, even if there is negligence, the talents around the little prince will remind the little prince." ”

"You stare more." Zhu Di said uneasily, this matter should not be underestimated.

Building a new layer of political relations with the lower strata made Zhu Di feel happy, but because he attached too much importance to it, he became a little nervous.

The Shizifu is on the east side of the three major halls, close to the Tiren Gate of the East Street, so the hundred households do not go to the front door, go directly to the East Street, enter through the Tiren Gate, and then go to the Shizifu.

"In this matter, please ask your brother-in-law to come forward." Zhu Gaochi said to Yuan Rong in front of him.

Yuan Rong is already a member of the palace.

has been running around for the palace all year round, mainly for himself, and the Yuan family is so happy, of course he will not object.

"This matter is not publicized, and it cannot be posted to cause impeachment, nor can it be rejected outright, so as not to hurt the hearts of hundreds of households."

"The hundred households of Yanshanwei can be stricter, so let the hundred households of Yanshanwei take the lead and form unspoken rules."

Yuan Rong quickly came up with an idea.

"Just do as you say." Zhu Gaochi delegated power and was strict with Yan Shanwei's hundreds of households, and it was precisely because of his closeness that he was so.

The most trusted person in the palace must be Yan Shanwei's people, and the one who has promoted the most is also Yan Shanwei's people, so naturally he has more requirements.

The prince's mansion is silent about gift-giving.

But the hundred households of Yan Shanwei suddenly changed to a light courtesy, no more than three coins of silver, what can three coins of silver buy?

Many people feel that they can't do it, but the hundreds of households in Yanshanwei are like this, and the rest of the people don't dare to make decisions on their own.

In short, a tacit understanding was gradually formed, and the gifts sent to the Shizifu were capped at three dollars.

Many people make up their minds about three dollars.

Since you don't want to be expensive, start with your heart and try your best to give gifts that can express your heart.

There was a hundred households who whimsically compiled the cooperation between their own guards and military economic cooperatives into a booklet, and sent them to the Shizifu with gifts.

When Zhu Gaochi received this booklet, he happily closed his mouth and took the initiative to summon this hundred-household official.

There are 50 people in a health center in 100 households alone, not counting 100 households, so in total, there are thousands of people.

Although people go to the Shizi Mansion to give gifts, it is actually difficult to see the little prince alone, and the competition is much fiercer than that of thousands of households.

To have this honor, this person's future is more guaranteed.
