Chapter 722: Zhu Gaochi's Criticism
Hongxi for four years.
July.
The Ministry of Officials drew up a batch of lists, which were discussed by the cabinet and finally submitted to Zhu Gaochi, and in addition to the promotion and transfer of officials in the mainland, the main ones were changes in various places overseas.
Bonidus, Luzon and other places, because the local culture is backward, full of tribal patterns, and from ancient times to the present, they are very backward, these areas are not like Central and Western Asia.
Therefore, the Ming army was stationed in the local area, and the scale of the war was very low, which should be regarded as a public security war, so there was no implementation of the capital supervision system, and the highest military commander was the general soldier, and the Boni Du Division had three general soldiers.
The military arrangements were mainly for the military department and the governor's office of the five armies, and the selection of civilian officials was mainly based on the appointment of governors, and the highest was the strategy.
Boni Jinglu is in charge of the general direction, the governors of various places are responsible for local governance, and the same is true of the Luzon Metropolitan Division, and now with the addition of the Jedo Metropolitan Division, the Jedo Metropolitan Division has received more and more attention from the imperial court with the economic growth of this year.
Then there are the five provinces of North Tianzhu.
Because some areas of Northern Tianzhu are not stable, so the governor and the governor system are still implemented, and the military is the priority, including the co-optation and suppression of the Dili people.
After Ren Li's blow, this person is dead, and the highest prestige of the people at the moment is Erdeni, compared to Mahamu, this person is very knowledgeable and knows what attitude he should use.
Zhu Gaochi flipped through the list and looked at the resumes of some officials, which basically conformed to the charter, and most of the evaluations during his tenure were excellent.
"With the increase of my Ming territory, the governance of the border areas and overseas is still the top priority of the imperial court, as the saying goes, it is easy to fight the country, but it is difficult to govern the country." Zhu Gaochi sighed.
Yang Shiqi, Xie Jin, Huang Huai, Huang Fu and others respectfully waited for His Majesty's will.
Xie Jin has died in history, and now he is still alive, and he has become the second assistant of the cabinet, with a high position, and today's cabinet is not the cabinet of the Ming Dynasty in history.
Huang Fu has made meritorious contributions to the management of Jiaozhi, promoted from the political envoy to the governor of Goryeo, and now returns to China as the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.
The books of each ministry belong to the head of the chess piece, so the cabinet is the helmsman.
Then there is Liu Dongbo, the word Mengqing, and now the household servant, this person is also there, and in the list, this person will serve as the Boni Jingluo.
Historically, the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty were the most important inside, and the top few in the imperial examination were eligible to stay in the Hanlin Academy, and only the bachelors from the Hanlin Academy had the opportunity to enter the cabinet, and the second-class ones stayed in the ministries to observe the government, or were released or stayed in the capital, and the second-class was directly sent to the county or state capital as an auxiliary official.
Zhu Gaochi attaches great importance to the experience and ability of officials at the grassroots level, so whether it is the cabinet or various ministries and departments, these senior officials need to have local government and have excellent performance.
Unless it is a full-time department, such as the Salt Envoy Division, the Salt Division Lifting Division, the Taifu Temple, the City Ship Lifting Division, the Tea and Horse Division, the Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Inspection Institute and other specialized institutions, more emphasis on the experience of the industry.
Zhu Gaochi's exclamation did not come out of thin air.
Although the Ming Dynasty recovered Jiaozhi in history, it still failed in the end, the military victory, the political delay was delayed, and the civilian officials had a great responsibility, even if there was such a capable official as Huang Fu to govern, but the overall quality could not be stopped.
Making money at the local level is still the main behavior of civil officials, and it is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang killed corrupt officials, which was not born out of thin air.
Zhu Di recovered Jiaozhi, the army discipline was strict, he did not commit any offense against the local Qiu, and repeatedly issued orders, and the unruly generals in the army had long been eliminated in the Hongwu Dynasty, so the Ming army's operation in Jiaozhi was very smooth.
However, in the later period of governance, due to the inaction of civil officials and the greed for the locality, the local people supported the rebel forces, and then a stalemate was formed, resulting in the imperial court being unable to maintain its rule in Cochin.
Although there were no major defeats, and even many victories, in the end the Ming army withdrew from Jiaozhi.
It's not that the army can't fight, it's that the civilian class doesn't give it its strength.
In general, because of the collapse of faith and the loss of a sense of honor, the local elite only thought about making money for personal gain, and the greed caused by the general environment became the reason why the emperor and the people hated corrupt officials in the early Ming Dynasty.
The economic base determines the superpolitical structure.
The economic basis of society, that is, the sum total of the relations of production, determines the superstructure of society, including various fields such as politics, law, religion, philosophy, art, etc. This principle emphasizes the decisive role of economic factors in the development and transformation of society.
First of all, the economic base determines the superpolitical structure because the relations of production are the basis for the existence and development of society.
Production relations refer to the economic relations formed by people in the production process, including the form of ownership of the means of production, the status and mutual relations of people in production, and the mode of product distribution. These economic relations directly determine the class structure and class struggle of society, and thus the nature and form of the political superstructure.
Secondly, the economic base determines the superstructure, which is also reflected in the transformation of the economic base to promote the reform of the superstructure.
When the economic base changes, the superstructure must also adapt to this change, otherwise it will hinder the development of society. For example, in capitalist society, with the development of the productive forces and the transformation of the relations of production, the contradiction between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat became increasingly acute, which eventually led to the transformation of the political superstructure, that is, the proletarian revolution and the establishment of the socialist system.
In addition, the economic base determines the superpolitical structure, which is also manifested in the reaction of the superstructure to the economic base.
While the superstructure is determined by the economic base, it is not passive.
The superstructure can regulate the relations of production through political, legal and other means, promote the development of the productive forces, and thus promote the development of the economic base. However, this reaction is carried out within the limits of the economic base and cannot change the fundamental nature of the economic base.
Therefore, it is an important sociological principle that the economic base determines the superpolitical structure, which emphasizes the decisive role of economic factors in social development and change. At the same time, we should also recognize the reaction of the superstructure to the economic base, and promote the progress and development of society through reform and innovation.
The more economically developed the region, the more politically enlightened it is.
The political enlightenment of some periods of the Han, Tang and Northern Song dynasties is obvious to all compared with the surrounding forces in the same period.
With the demise of the Song Dynasty and the collapse of the social economy, the political situation became more and more conservative, and the same is true even for later generations, for example, before the sixties and seventies, the north of the peninsula was more advanced than the south of the peninsula in both military and political terms.
But with the collapse of the economy, the north of the peninsula became more and more conservative.
The more conservative it is, the lower the quality of society, and the more serious the corrupt behaviors such as corruption and oppression.
The more developed the economy and the more frequent the exchanges, which leads to a more open society, and thus the higher the moral level of the society, and the higher the ethics of officials, which are the inevitable phenomena of the development of things.
Zhu Gaochi looked at the civil officials in the court and gave them general affirmation, so Zhu Gaochi approved all the lists submitted by the officials.
Yang Shiqi and the others breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts.
An upward dynasty will have more peace in the internal struggles.
For example, in the Ming Dynasty, the cabinet would not directly deny the emperor's opinion, at least not on the surface, and the emperor would also take into account the cabinet's ideas, and the two sides maintained a compromise, which was for a stable political situation.
When it came time for the cabinet to directly argue with the emperor, it represented a break in stability, and a decline in social unrest ensued.
The stability and tranquility of the imperial court represented the stability and prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.
Soon, a new batch of feudal officials rushed to various places.
Subsequently, Han Qi of the Daming Industry Bureau met with the emperor and submitted the huge plan of the Daming Industry Bureau to establish a business site in the Tianzhu area and establish a new growth point for the business and trade system of the Daming Industry Bureau.
Today's Daming Bureau is very prosperous.
The newspapers said that the workers were the happiest.
That's true.
Don't look at it as the fifteenth century, but so what, the Ming Dynasty had no external economic competitors, could implement a loose internal resource distribution system, and the workers lived extremely happily.
The environment changes people.
Economic development changes the environment, and the environment changes people.
The expulsion of good money from bad money is caused by the environment, and the same good environment can protect good money from the influence of bad money and ensure the sustainable development of good money.
Merchants can squeeze workers to the maximum extent for their own interests, just like in Britain before modern times, workers live in extreme misery, and under the change of the environment, merchants can also give workers the greatest welfare protection.
Because the environment guarantees good money, the merchants are not allowed to squeeze the workers in the best interests, and the rights and interests of the workers are protected.
Then as long as it is at the same level, every businessman can get fair.
Otherwise, it is unfair to A to squeeze workers to the greatest extent while B is squeezing workers to the greatest extent under the condition that A is guaranteed, because this will cause A to be unable to compete with B, and finally be eliminated by the market.
Now the Daming Bureau is the benchmark, and the social resource distribution system carried out by the Daming Bureau has put an end to the existence of B and does not allow B to do, so A can continue to ensure the welfare of workers.
In short, B can obtain a profit of one yuan through the maximum squeezing, but the Ming Dynasty does not allow it, and only allows businessmen like A to exist and obtain the benefit of five cents.
The remaining five cents were distributed to the workers, who became richer, which in turn promoted a larger consumer market and led to a more developed business.
However, this should be based on the premise of abundant resources per capita.
Cultivated land resources are abundant, mineral resources are abundant, and all resources are abundant and developed, so after the Ming Dynasty entered the industrialized society in the fifteenth century, the workers could only work four hours a day and nine days of vacation every month.
Later generations of Britain were able to do it in modern society, and it was for the same reason.
Although the empire on which the sun never sets has fallen, through the political legacy, the resources of the various confederations can still be easily used by the British, which is indirect control of resources.
In addition to the developed per capita resources of the United States, the United States can also indirectly control overseas resources for its own use through countless military bases, so as to meet these conditions.
On the other hand, the peninsula is in the north.
Because of the bankruptcy and extinction of the organizational system in the north, it is impossible to continue to exchange external resources through trade, and there is no sound industrial system internally, and it is unable to produce self-sufficiently, especially the "industrial blood" of oil.
Han Qi was under a lot of pressure in front of His Majesty the Emperor.
The Daming Bureau was founded by the emperor in front of him, and the industrialization road of the entire Ming Dynasty was also established by the emperor in front of him, including the reformed clan system, overseas economic development path, and so on.
Han Qi is indeed at the helm of the Daming Industry Bureau, but in front of the founder, Han Qi is very cautious.
"The development of the Daming Industrial Bureau in recent years has been very fast, which has effectively guaranteed the people's livelihood and brought a better life to the people, but the suppression of private business is a bit too much."
Zhu Gaochi said calmly.
Han Qi broke out in a cold sweat and didn't dare to explain.
In the Goryeo area, and even in the Daying Island area, it is very unceremonious to say that the Daming Industry Bureau did not have the merit of pioneering, or the credit was not large, and the initial development relied on the promotion of private commercial banks.
After Han Qi came to power, he used his political advantage to implement a monopoly in the local area, which dealt a painful blow to private commercial banks.
But even where there is oppression, there is resistance.
Although many of the trading houses were closed, many of them still struggled to survive, did not surrender, did not directly integrate into the trade system of the Daming Industrial Bureau, but went to farther areas.
It can be said that the great changes in private commercial banks are becoming more and more dynamic, and Han Qi is meritorious in front of him, although this credit may not be wanted by private businessmen.
In Zhu Gaochi's framework, the private commercial bank is a supplement to the Daming Industry Bureau system, the two sides compete with each other on an equal footing, and promote each other's growth.
A comfortable end, history has proven, and in the end it will only be eliminated.
There was a saying in later generations that China's elites protected their own people too well, and in fact, in Zhu Gaochi's view, the United States was the same.
It is said that the people of developed countries are lying flat, but they do not see the struggle and efforts of the elites.
Lying flat has never existed.
People are not qualified to lie down when they live, and people can live comfortably because of the "spoils of war" obtained by human beings in the end.
The Daming Bureau lies flat, and the consequence is that after two or three generations, it will not be able to keep up with the development of the times at all, and it will become the dust of history.
Zhu Gaochi drew a line.
Commercial competition in the Tianzhu area, the Daming Bureau is not allowed to violate the commercial law, only allowed to be implemented within the framework of the law, and can not change the law in violation of the law, in short, can only be implemented within the framework of the Daming law.
With the size of the Daming Industrial Bureau, as well as the protection of the rights and interests of the Ministry of Workers' and People's Union, the Daming Industrial Bureau has taken advantage of it, and if it still uses its own political means to conduct improper competition to suppress private commercial banks, it is not conducive to the development of productive forces, and it is not the road to sustainable development.
When the news spread, the Jedo-jima Development Group was full of joy from top to bottom.
Because the next step in the business of the Tianzhu area is also the direction of the Jedao Development Group.
Equally.
Many shopkeepers and stewards of the Daming Bureau were unhappy, thinking that the emperor was biased in favor of the merchants, didn't they see that the Daming Bureau directly and indirectly supported millions of workers, and the population affected by the Daming Bureau was even more.
This is the credit of the Daming Industry Bureau.
Many people are upset about Han Qi.
