Mandarin Palace.

The weather in the capital has also been cold, and the climate is changing, which has become a place among the farmers in the market and even in the countryside, and they will often lament that the year is not good, thinking that it is the worst time of the year.

People always think that the bad time is the worst time, but they don't think about whether the climate will be worse and subvert people's old perceptions.

"Your Highness, do you need to burn the earth dragon in the palace?"

The eunuch asked.

Zhu Gaochi rubbed his hands together, feeling that it was bearable, so he shook his head.

"Wenhua Hall doesn't need it, Wuying Hall probably doesn't need it, the imperial grandfather can go and ask his old man's opinion."

The eunuch left respectfully.

Since Zhu Gaochi entered the capital, the palace has not had any newcomers for several years.

In order to appease and give preferential treatment to the original eunuchs and little yellow men, Zhu Gaochi increased their wages and benefits.

Eunuchs and female officials have become the main existence group of the harem, and the number of female officials has been increasing.

Liu Tong sat decently, with a layer of mattress on the wide-backed chair under him.

There are transparent glass on all sides of the warm pavilion, the red curtains are tied up by yellow ribbons, restrained into a beautiful shape, what attracts Liu Tong's attention the most is the potted plants under the window, there are potted plants specially raised, the trees inside are very small, but they show a sense of old age, which makes people amazed.

On the platform of the three-story stone steps, there are a lot of sparse and official documents on the desk in front of Zhu Gaochi, and on the left is a row of large bookshelves, full of all kinds of commonly used materials.

Liu Tong looked carefully, and on some thick books, he could vaguely recognize the name.

There are all kinds of books, at least half of them are social, varied, and not particular, some are four books and five classics, and there are even a few popular ones on the market, such as "The Legend of Zhumen".

I heard that it was written by a vassal of the Governor's Mansion of the Zhou Dynasty, and it recorded the trivial matters of life in the Zhou Palace.

The common people can feel the daily life of the palace from the books, as if they are there, and they are shocked, and they soon become one of the hottest ones at the moment, as well as "White Biography" and "The Love History of Fahai".

Seeing "The Love History of Fahai", Liu Tong was obviously stunned, and immediately lowered his head and held back his laughter.

This book can make Buddhism very angry, and there are many beautiful writings in the book.

In order to attract people, he deliberately used the name of Fahai, and then put some violations of law and discipline in Buddhism, hooked up with women who worshiped Buddha, etc., not only wrote in detail, but also wrote explicitly.

The criticism is very loud, but the sales are even more popular, which can be said to be a precedent.

Unexpectedly, even His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson also read it, and it was still placed on the bookshelf in the palace, it seems that he is still reading through, or he has already finished reading it, and he didn't have time to take it away.

Such a down-to-earth His Royal Highness, Liu Tong only likes it very much.

"Liu, I heard that you have become the deputy leader of the numerical model estimation team for social population distribution."

Zhu Gaochi asked curiously.

"Back to His Royal Highness the Emperor's grandson, it is an honor, the little people are ashamed, they accept it hard, and they just work hard." Liu Tong's face was modest.

"It seems that everyone Liu not only does good articles, but also has amazing achievements in knowledge."

Zhu Gaochi sighed.

The big society and the small government are also the reforms that Zhu Gaochi began in Beiping.

From military households to the military, from agricultural society to industrial society, and even from the government, Zhu Gaochi has done many deeds in reform, and the results have also been remarkable.

"You don't have to call yourself a small citizen, just call me directly, there are more and more readers, and if you read the book, you don't feel inferior, and our royal family must also comply with the will of the people, otherwise in the long run, you will be resisted by the readers."

Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

The emergence of the Jiajing Dynasty, the growth of the Wanli period, and the flourishing of the Ming Dynasty during the Apocalypse period, and even put forward the radical idea of the Dufu, that is, the number of scholars has increased, and it has become the popularization of society, which not only makes the vernacular literature rise, but also brings more social changes.

Read and be enlightened.

After reading the book, I don't think that I am inferior to others.

The Daxing School of the Ming Dynasty for more than 200 years cultivated the seeds of scholars and created a social atmosphere of pursuing equal rights.

From tax evasion to tax resistance, from exploiting the loopholes of preferential treatment for scholars to expelling eunuchs who collect taxes by force, there are countless things.

Liu Tong nodded sincerely.

His Royal Highness the Imperial Sun is very human, not only approachable, but also tolerant, does not care about class differences, meritocracy, pays attention to morality, rather than origin, and has won the support of many scholars.

"Industrial society needs a large number of scholars, bringing about changes in all aspects, if the royal family can not follow the trend, it will become an outcast left by the times, as Tang Taizong said, water can carry a boat, can also overturn a boat."

Zhu Gaochi continued.

With such remarks, only His Royal Highness the Imperial Prince in front of him has such a mind.

Liu Tong showed an admiring look.

What he said just now, Liu Tong agreed.

Not only some social books on the books, Liu Tong himself also clearly recognized that it is the development of society and the change of the model that have brought many new things, such as the birth of all kinds of new learning.

"In the next few years, I have made friends with him and exchanged knowledge, and in the project team, I have gained many ways to learn more knowledge, from the genealogy of the major clans, the Book of Rites, the Great Biography, etc., to the "Zhou Yi", and even the genealogy of the small clans."

"There are also books published in recent years, such as "Introduction to History", "History of Chinese Civilization", "Craftsmen Change the World", "Experiments Are Doomed to the Right Path", etc., all of which are reads that I can't put down."

In fact, Liu Tong is very grateful to the group that was invited to estimate the numerical model of social population distribution.

In the group, he was an eye-opener.

At the same time, he also had full exchanges with other social science groups, such as the Social Theory Research Laboratory and the Workers' and Peasants' Population Distribution Project Group, which also forced him to continue to study.

Finally, he was recognized by many people, and he was elected as the deputy leader, which is the recognition of him by the surrounding scholars.

From a down-and-out reader who made a living by writing words for others, to writing articles published in newspapers to get paid to support his family, his fame grew, he began to publish books, and even became a talent and won literary awards.

Relying on a whim to describe the future of the Ming Dynasty, he knocked on a new door and went to more roads, even now.

So he was very sure.

It is because of the development of society that there are books such as "Craftsmen Change the World", not these books that have changed society.

Without this book, the technology invented by craftsmen is also changing society, and this book is just a summary made after understanding the changes in the current society.

Zhu Gaochi also thinks so.

The concept of the four great inventions was put forward by later generations, but even if the four great inventions were not proposed by later generations, it does not mean that these inventions of gunpowder do not exist.

Liu Tong's talent and three views made Zhu Gaochi very satisfied, and he had a common topic and chatted a lot.

At last.

Liu Tong talked about his relationship with foreign equality.

"I once thought about the prosperity and destruction of civilization, the former yuan was the destroyer of civilization, but the prosperity of the former yuan's force is indeed worthy of people's deep thought, and there are even schools in Beiping, where students not only study, but also accept various social activities, and even encourage confrontation and promote barbaric physique."

"This is also the teaching style requested by His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson."

"Yes, I did discuss this with them when they set up a new school in Peiping."

Zhu Gaochi admitted.

Reading can not only be wise, but also make some people stupid when reading.

They even feel that the United States does not care about its own interests, and that what the United States cares about is the happiness of the people of the world, regardless of national borders.

There are even more scholars who live in a peaceful world.

The day he opened his eyes, in the society he was in, he only had stability and peace in his cognition, and he didn't know that there was such a thing as competition and war.

Civilization is its spirit, and barbarism is its body.

It is the way to prosperity of civilization.

In a highly materially developed society, the excessive pursuit of stability brings about the backwardness of social competitiveness, which is ultimately borne by the individuals who build the society.

"Therefore barbarism is also needed by society, not only by civilization."

Liu Tong sighed.

"People's hearts are towards the light, but under the light, there must be shadows, the so-called yin and yang cycle, the cycle repeats, and as His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun often said: everything has a degree, and harmony is precious."

"In this way, only by keeping the two in balance and not having a yin and yang imbalance can it become a virtuous circle."

"From the small individual, to the social state, to the external relations, I think it is suitable for this way."

Liu Tong said in detail, and talked about the new thinking triggered by yesterday's exchange with friends in terms of knowledge, "After thinking about it for a long time, the initial mention of the relationship of equality with foreign countries is a bit eager for quick success and quick profit, greedy for the military prosperity of the former yuan, ignoring the advantages of civilization, which is also a manifestation of yin and yang imbalance. ”

"However, in terms of equal relations with foreign countries, it should be civilized to civilized, barbaric to barbaric, always with the Ming Dynasty as the center, education as the mainstay, and punishment as the supplement, so that people with bright hearts can live in a bright world and build a world of the road together."

Zhu Gaochi pondered Liu Tong's remarks.

From another point of view, I was quite shocked.

Society has never had a standard answer.

The way of Mongol conquest, the way of enslavement of the Later Jin, and even the way of hierarchy in India, and the way of colonization in the West.

Each Tao can exist and flourish, and it must have a unique power.

What Daming wants to do is to absorb the strengths of others, integrate their own advantages, threesome must have my teacher, and even the country is the same, learning is always a means to ensure development and not lag behind others.

"Therefore, in the relationship of equality with foreign countries, we must maintain the connection of yin and yang, and value harmony, not only to learn from the advantages of the previous yuan, but also to promote the characteristics of Chinese civilization, and to absorb the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought to make up for our own shortcomings."

"Educate and absorb the people who are oriented to civilization, punish and save the barbaric natives, take the interests of the Ming Dynasty as the first priority, and the people of the country as the first purpose, open up the Quartet, and accommodate the world."

"As the so-called sea embraces all rivers, tolerance is great, and only by chasing the breadth of the sea can we accommodate the rivers of the world."

Liu Tong's speech was slow.

Every word is well thought out and tried not to make mistakes.

Zhu Gaochi chewed on Liu Tong's thoughts, corroborating each other with his own thoughts, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt good.

Suck the strengths of hundreds of schools.

Liu Tong doesn't know the Qing Dynasty, nor does he know the future prosperity of Western industrial civilization, but this sentence can explain everything, no matter what kind of Tao you are, as long as you have strengths, you should learn the strengths, Yin and Yang coordination, harmony is precious, and after improvement, it will become the nourishment of Chinese civilization.

In fact, there is no similar reason for the Western way of colonization.

Their ancestors, whether due to environmental factors or whether they were advanced or backward, did embark on the road of foreign exploration, and in this long process, they absorbed advanced knowledge and technology from all over the world.

The Americas brought them resources and high-yielding crops.

Africa has brought human resources to them.

Asia brought them goods and some technology.

"Liu, everyone said it very well."

Zhu Gaochi stroked his palms and smiled.

The relationship between foreign countries and equality was different from what he thought, but what Liu Tong said made Zhu Gaochi very shocked, and felt that the truth in it was promising.

In later generations, some people could say that Yang Guang was the first emperor of the ages.

Because everything Yang Guang has done is a major event in the past dynasties, it can be said that it is a merit for a thousand years.

But one thing is overlooked.

Live in the present and look to the future.

If you can't even live in the present, what can you talk about in the future?

The fall of the Sui Dynasty, thanks to Li Jian and Li Shimin's father and son, if there were no them, would it be another Wuhu Chaohua, after the Wuhu Chaohua, Chinese civilization finally survived the most dangerous time.

But luck doesn't mean it's always there.

How many civilizations in history have died.

Liu Tong's performance in the Wenhua Hall was highly praised by Zhu Gaochi.

It's only the third day.

The Guozijian of the capital came to ask Liu Tong to go to the Guozijian to make a report, of course Liu Tong would not refuse, and the Guozijian of the capital also made special arrangements and opened the door of convenience all the way.

Equal relations with foreign countries.

The country's sons of the Ming Dynasty had a different teaching philosophy from the market-oriented education of later generations.

The society is only responsible for letting the young children learn to read and write, know the rules of the school, etc., and the social activities of the county school are greater than the teaching, and the state school will have more advanced knowledge.

To the point of learning in the state capital, a large number of students have been eliminated, and as for Guozijian, he is the most talented person among the scholars.

County school, government school, national prison.

In the third-level school, even if it is Guozijian, there are a large number of competitions and competitions, and it does not pursue order excessively.

Sixteen to nineteen years old.

From the end of adolescence to the stage of youth, they have reached the age of marriage and marriage, and many even have children of their own.

The students at the first level of Guozijian are the busiest time, and their studies are the most heavy.

Most of the speakers were in the third and fourth grades.

"Thank you, Dong Sai Wine."

Liu Tong didn't expect that Dong Dezhang, the sacrificial wine of Guozijian, would come to greet him.

"There is no vanity under the fame, everyone Liu can get the praise of His Royal Highness the Imperial Grandson, and it is the honor of the Guozijian in the capital to invite everyone Liu to speak, how can I not come."

"Dong Sai wine is too famous, how can he dare to accept such an honor."

Liu Tong shook his hand again and again.

Just kidding.

The person in front of him is the sacrificial wine of the Guozijian, the supreme person in charge of the world's talent cultivation place, Liu Tong did not dare to be a little proud when he met every Guozijian Guozi, let alone the sacrificial wine in front of him.

"In fact, Guozijian is also a place of fame and fortune, not so magical."

Dong Dezhang said very casually: "Everyone Liu is famous, and Guozijian can also be famous, and Guozijian has also invited businessmen to give speeches." ”

"Huh?"

Liu Tong was dumbfounded.

"Of course, businessmen are always embarrassed to come empty-handed, in the past, the sages of the society had a tradition of paying for social studies and encouraging people to study, and now social studies still exist, and the construction of Guozijian also needs money, businessmen donated money, and they have gained fame, why not do it."

Such a sacrificial wine is not at all different from the sacrificial wine of the capital Guozijian and the two of them.

But so.

Liu Tong likes the other party's directness, and there is not so much red tape.

Liu Tong is very disgusted with excessive etiquette in society.

With the affluence of people's lives, many people are becoming more and more particular, and use a set of large families in their daily life.

There were even people in the newspapers who advocated the resumption of the weekly rites.

Only one of them, different places to eat, different etiquette, Zhou Li even recorded different scenes, all kinds of walking movements, if Zhou Li was restored, Liu Tong didn't dare to think about how tired he would be.

The impression of the sacrificial wine in front of him was greatly improved, and the relationship became intimate, and it was only when they met for the first time that Liu Tong greatly praised this person's diplomatic ability.

External Equal Relations.

It has become a hot topic, among which is the situation of the rights and interests of immigrants.

"The foreign labor used in the northern mining areas, although the dividends of social development cannot take care of them, are not treated equally, but they should exceed the standard of living in their own countries."

"But the fact that they chose to go to work as miners shows that they are indeed better off than in their home country."

It was noted.

"We must grasp both material civilization and spiritual civilization."

"In terms of spiritual civilization, we must also take care of them, Chinese civilization is tolerant of all rivers, and if we can, we should give them the glory of civilization from the perspective of human nature."

"Those who are not of my race will have different hearts."

"Think of the Wuhu Chaohua, think of the rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, the rebellion of the Song Dynasty."

Someone retorted.

"Yin and yang, harmony is precious, a lesson from the past, and a teacher from future generations, but it is not a ban to come up with ways to solve these dangers, rather than turning a blind eye because of risks."

"When you encounter a problem, solve it, not avoid it."

People began to think and argue.

Mining areas in the north.

A large number of former miners were brought back to become shift leaders or stewards.

"You don't know."

"Today's miners can't even operate machines, even if they are taught a few times, they can still do things that make people stunned."

The stewards who stayed behind in the mine complained.

"No. 1 valve, No. 2 valve, No. 3 valve, etc., we also specially labeled them, but they still made mistakes, not only the production efficiency was greatly reduced, but there were more and more accidents in the mine."

In order to bring back the skilled former miners, the mine owners spent a lot of money.

For the first time, they learned how valuable a qualified worker is.

As a large number of skilled miners returned to the mine to guide and manage the new miners, order in the mine gradually stabilized.

Evening schools were also held at the mine.

The new miners, who were willing to work hard to attend night school, would go to night school one night every ten years to learn to write and speak Chinese, and to rename themselves.

No groups are allowed, only individual individuals are absorbed.

Recognized by both the mine and the night school, many new miners who are outstanding can improve their wages and treatment, and those who have worked in Daming for more than ten years can obtain the rights and interests of the Ministry of Workers' and People's Union.

Their descendants can study in Daming and enjoy the living environment of Daming.

Those who have worked for the Ming Dynasty for more than 20 years, fully recognized the Chinese civilization, regarded themselves as Chinese, and after the evaluation of all parties, those who are considered to meet the requirements, and have no criminal records, their next generation can obtain the nationality of the Ming Dynasty.

If their next generation is born in Daming and lives in Daming, they can enjoy all political rights.

In addition, there are people who have made great contributions, as well as outstanding performers, etc., and even craftsmen and scholars from other countries, who can relax the conditions, get a more relaxed evaluation policy, and integrate into the Ming Dynasty faster.

Long-term fatigue leads to low work efficiency.

Under the guidance of the Mining Association, the miners' working hours were reduced from eight hours a day to seven hours, and half an hour was given for lunch and lunch breaks.

Strict regulations were imposed on the management of life, because they did not have Ming nationality, they could only stay in the mining area, and any new miners who left the mining area without permission would be severely punished.

One day off is given every month.

During the one-day holiday, new miners who want to go outside the mining area need to apply to the steward, and there will be a steward to lead the team, unified arrangements, and so on.

Non-Ming workers are allowed to be used in the mining area.

Spurred on by this policy, the number of merchant ships heading to North Korea increased.

The disputed Pyongan Road and Hamgyong Province between Goryeo and Daming, Zhu Gaochi did not mention it again, and it is not a good time at this time.

The northern region was under the control of Li Fanggan, the southern region was under the actual control of Li Fangyuan, and Seoul lived in the king's family, protected by the Ming garrison, and together with Li Fangyi, the Chinese military control envoy, controlled part of the Goryeo army.

Merchant ships arrived in Seoul and transported them to various parts of Goryeo through Seoul.

"The market in Goryeo is still too small."

on the pier.

Goryeo businessman Lu Shunyi and his partner Daming businessman finished handing over the list, and couldn't help but sigh.

He wanted to go to Daming to do business, but he didn't have Ming nationality and couldn't get Daming's goods, so he could go to Daming's port to purchase goods, but Daming's merchants had a cost advantage and transported them to Goryeo by themselves.

Therefore, Lu Shunyi could only choose to cooperate with the merchants of the Ming Dynasty to jointly develop the business routes in Goryeo, and he was responsible for opening up local relations and contributing to the safety of the business routes, accounting for 40% of the shares.

There are many commercial banks in this kind of Daming and Goryeo joint stock situation.
