The pattern of human behavior is determined by the environment, and the governance system of Daming is also explored step by step.

The establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and even the maturity of the local three-division system, still have some systems left over from the previous Yuan. In the ninth year of Hongwu, Emperor Taizu abolished the province of Xingzhongshu and set up the Department of Chengxuan Political Envoys, the Department of Command Envoys, and the Department of Procuratorial Envoys, which were in charge of local administration, military administration and supervision, collectively referred to as the "Three Divisions".

The "three divisions" are all the highest organs of provincial-level administrative regions.

Although the three-division system guarantees the decentralization of local powers, the power of the government is not boundless, and the influence of the government and schools are suppressed, it does not belong to the separation of powers.

The rule of man is still the dominant model.

Since it is the rule of man, the power of the political envoy will inevitably be able to greatly influence the envoy department and the yamen of the capital department with the help of interpersonal relationships.

Including part of the slavery system banned by Zhu Gaochi, this door was completely closed.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know what the Song Dynasty was like, what he saw from the day he was born was what the Yuan Dynasty looked like, including the people of this era, their living habits were influenced by the Yuan Dynasty.

Therefore, the ban on slavery in the world and the restoration of some of the freedom of craftsmen came from the influence of Confucian culture, but still retained some slaves, such as the imperial power and nobles could use slaves, and craftsmen still needed to be strictly controlled by the government, etc., which were subject to the inertia of the previous dynasty.

Just like the Qing Dynasty in the future, the funeral system has been banned in the middle of the Ming Dynasty, but the tribes with relatively backward civilization, because of the existence of their own funeral system, so the early Qing Dynasty fully resumed the funeral, and then under the influence of Confucian culture, the funeral system was banned.

The process of advancing and retreating civilization is clear at a glance.

Therefore, historians, including Western scholars, believe that the Song Dynasty was indeed the pinnacle of Chinese civilization.

This civilization includes economy, culture, thought, technology, politics, etc.

Although the Song Dynasty was not a unified dynasty, with many powerful countries around it, and even itself was wiped out twice by foreign enemies, this does not deny the achievements of the Song Dynasty in civilization.

Because the development or backwardness of civilization does not directly determine whether a civilization can survive as peacefully as it does now.

It can be said that the Song Dynasty is a relatively regrettable dynasty in its existence, and if it was born in the present, then the Song Dynasty would not be destroyed. Because the peak of the prosperity of the current civilization directly determines the international status and national strength, and in the ancient world of the Song Dynasty, military strength ranked first.

In a nutshell.

Because of the limitations of the times and the lack of science and technology, the prosperity of civilization is not the first, but the military power is the first.

Like a shield and a spear.

When the breakthrough of science and technology is enough to break this balance, then the civilization of the Song Dynasty is prosperous, and the accumulated science and technology are developed, which can ensure the prosperity of the armed forces.

Unfortunately, the era of the Song Dynasty was not completed.

Therefore, no matter how civilized the Song Dynasty is, because of the shortcomings of military strength, it can only be conquered by backward civilizations.

In the newspaper, a thinker's research report on the cornerstone of civilization attracted the attention of many people, and Zhu Gaochi finished breakfast and habitually read the newspaper.

The second went to Beitianzhu, the eldest went to Beiping to inspect, and the third went to Guozijian.

Guo Cailian was not used to the desertion here, so she went back to her bedroom early, waiting for her daughters-in-law to bring her grandchildren to say goodbye.

People are getting older and older spiritually, and Zhu Gaochi likes peace more and more.

The most terrible thing for people is the improvement of the "valve".

When I was a child, I could happily play with a rope for a long time, but as I grew older and my body deteriorated, people gradually "slowed down", and most things could not arouse their own interest.

Therefore, people should participate in social activities.

Because man is a social animal, it is already written in the genes.

It is only in the activities and communication of the crowd that people can obtain satisfaction.

Looking at the thoughts of the sages in the newspaper, Zhu Gaochi was also thinking, while flipping through the articles in the newspaper, he understood and explained according to his own thinking.

As the carrier of the times and a certain threshold, the content published in the current newspaper has become elitist.

Just like the original Internet, the percentage of users is the highest among the elite group, so they can obtain a lot of useful information, and people's insight and knowledge have been greatly improved, so the term "learning with computers" was born.

When the Internet became popular, everyone started to participate in it, and it became a tool for entertainment through and through.

Therefore, the same is true of Daming's newspapers, you only need to read Daming's newspapers to understand and grasp the latest situation, as well as the most cutting-edge ideas and technologies, etc., which can be regarded as an information explosion of the speed of paper media transmission.

Then people call the Internet age the information age, and it is understandable, because with the speed of Internet information dissemination, it can indeed be called the Big Bang.

"So Daming's technology and technology have broken through this invisible barrier?"

Seeing the question at the end of the article, Zhu Gaochi also fell into deep thought.

The latest issue of the newspaper spread, and in the same morning, countless people also began their own answers like the emperor, Zhu Gaochi thought about it, and then shook his head.

In people's impressions, the Empire on which the sun never sets is an invincible existence, and the huge Qing Dynasty has no power to fight back.

However, in the thirties of the nineteenth century, the British declared war on Burma, and the British army gathered 66 warships and more than 10,000 troops, as well as a large number of servant troops from India.

In the whole battle, the British army lost more than 15,000 casualties. Military spending is more than £13 million.

In the forties of the nineteenth century, Britain declared war on Afghanistan, and the British army was directly defeated in this war, nearly 5,000 people were exterminated by the indigenous people of Afghanistan, and the British army in Afghanistan was almost completely wiped out.

Zulu, South Africa.

The Zulu Kingdom is not even a feudal dynasty, it is a primitive tribe.

In the seventies of the nineteenth century, Britain declared war on the Zulu, and in this war Britain dispatched 5,000 British troops and more than 8,000 servants, using the most advanced smoothbore guns and field artillery in the world at that time, while the Zulus used primitive weapons such as canes, pikes, spears, and cowhide shields.

As a result, in the Battle of Istanbul Delvana, the Zulus annihilated more than 1,000 British troops with their spears in three hours. For more than ten years, the British army lost troops in South Africa, and although it won in the end, it was also a disastrous victory.

The Sycos annihilated more than 4,000 British troops in the two Sigg wars.

The Maori annihilated 500 British troops.

The 80,000 men of the South African Union resisted the 300,000 British army and finally destroyed 7,000 British troops.

Queen Zhangxi of the subcontinent rebelled, fought for several years, and annihilated more than 11,000 British troops.

Look at the two wars in China in the nineteenth century.

In the First Opium War, the Qing Dynasty successfully eliminated 69 British troops at the cost of 22,000 casualties.

In the Second Opium War, the 200,000 troops of the Qing Dynasty were waiting for the day, and in the Battle of Bali Bridge, Monk Greenqin led 30,000 Mongolian iron cavalry as the main force, while the total number of British and French troops in the battle was only 20,000, and only 8,000 of them participated in the war.

But the result?

The Qing suffered 21,500 casualties in this war, while the British lost 134 and the French lost 25......

Wasn't the military power of the Qing Dynasty strong at the beginning of its establishment?

Definitely strong.

However, the suppression and blockade policies adopted by the Qing Dynasty caused the entire civilization to fall into a long-term regression, and only then did the phenomenon of the world's bottom occur more than 200 years later, making the West's yearning and tribute to Eastern legends turn into contempt and enslavement.

As the diary of a British officer says, this is a people that has been completely conquered and has fallen into extreme numbness and ignorance.

Therefore, it is also ignorant to replace the ignorance of the Qing Dynasty with the entire history of China, to think that the entire history of China is ignorant and backward, and to look down on the records of envy and boasting of oriental civilization left by so many foreigners in history.

The inevitability of the development of things does not change by manpower.

The same thing.

Daming Gonggong is indeed very prosperous, but the future history of Daming Gonggong has proved that if you only use this leg to walk, you will inevitably end up in bankruptcy, or the development of science and technology will fall into a long-term stagnation period.

History has proven it.

Most of the invention and popularization of science and technology, whether in China or the West, come from private trading houses, including jobs, economic vitality, and so on.

This is the success of Chinese characteristics.

The Daming Bureau of Industry is a means of regulating the distribution of social resources, and the private business is a supplement to the social and economic development.

Just like in the process of building material civilization, we must not abandon the construction of spiritual civilization.

Even the empire of the nineteenth century, with its military strength and technology, could not forcefully destroy all its competitors, let alone the current Ming dynasty in the fifteenth century.

The Ming Dynasty is indeed very powerful, and the current territory is indeed very vast.

But how can it.

In the long river of history, only the never-ending progress is the guarantee of the prosperity of national civilization, and the temporary strength cannot prove anything, and the history of civilization for thousands of years has proved this.

When a nation no longer learns and progresses, and stays in an environment of enjoyment, then no matter how strong the nation is, it will not be able to avoid the end of decay, or even extinction.

Long-term developed countries have also found out.

Their response strategy is to liberalize immigration policies.

Absorbing a large number of poor people and elites into their own land, through the struggle and dedication of these poor people, the knowledge and technology of the elites, the progress of the country has been maintained, but everything has a good side and a bad side.

The common people, who are accustomed to comfort, will be very disgusted and dissatisfied with the large number of outsiders who have poured into their country, and new contradictions will be born.

But without these large numbers of people who come to involute, how can they ensure the competition and development of their own countries?

Da Ming does not have to take this.

Because history has proven the end of this.

The only way to maintain the prosperity of the nation is to let ourselves fight forever.

In this way, the Daming Industry Bureau is indeed too comfortable, just as people want to be comfortable, who doesn't want to be comfortable.

How hard it is to learn.

Isn't such a bitter thing against human nature?

Children who don't want to play with it.

Learning is imposed on children by adults, just as adults are not picky eaters, because adults only buy what they like to eat, the same reason, except that children have adults behind the supervision and requirements of adults, and adults only have social pressure.

That's the nature of the world.

Everyone's life in society is itself based on competition.

Without external competition, we must maintain internal competition, and without competition, civilization will stagnate and eventually be replaced by others.

"The Daming Bureau does need to monopolize some industries that should be monopolized, but the Daming Bureau must not monopolize productivity."

Zhu Gaochi wrote a sentence on a blank piece of paper.

Zhu Gaochi is ready to be hated.

If you want to be a good leader, you are destined to not be the object of praise by everyone.

Just like parents who are strict with their children.

The Daming Bureau was indeed founded by Zhu Gaochi, and everyone was singing the praises of His Majesty the Emperor, but Zhu Gaochi could not give the Daming Bureau what it needed, and even destroyed some things.

This is the difference between a politician and a politician.

Politicians face politics as a serious profession, while politicians use politics as a tool to become famous.

Politicians are ready to sacrifice themselves for the sake of the nation, while politicians are ready to harm others and benefit themselves for the sake of the next votes and their own personal reputation.

Politicians have a bottom line and principles when negotiating for the interests of the country, and will not be bought by the enemy, while politicians can be sold or bargaining chips at any time.

A politician is noble, great, and close to the people, and a politician is an actor in the hearts of the people.

The biggest advantage of Lianji is that it has mastered the energy resources of the island.

This is the core interest of the Daming Industry Bureau, and it has also touched the nervous nerves of the Daming Industry Bureau, and the competition in Nanyang has proved that the energy of the northern system of the Daming Industry Bureau cannot compete with the energy of Lianji in the island.

The premise for the development of industry is energy.

This is also the inevitability of things.

In the early days, the northern army, which was able to almost dry the southern army into the sea and push it flat, when its own large organization was broken and could not obtain energy, the tractors in the fields could not be driven, and after a few decades, it returned to the era of manpower.

And the southern army, which relied on cheap energy supply, not only overtook the northern army economically, but even left the northern army far behind.

His Royal Highness the King of the County and the Governor promoted the clan system in Northern Tianzhu, coupled with the influence of the Nanyang Railway, one north and one south echoed each other, and it was only a few years, and the main forces of the entire subcontinent were incorporated into the Ming dynasty's vassal system.

The clan system was established, and there were more and more Ming merchants.

With the improvement of the clan system, as well as the implementation and protection of various systems, more and more forces more abide by the laws of the Ming dynasty, and the personal safety of the Ming merchants has been guaranteed, and a more comprehensive trade has begun.

The business model that started in Goryeo was brought to the whole world by the merchants of the Ming Dynasty, and the subcontinent could not be changed.

Patches of land were bought.

Patches of economic estates were established, including the cultivation of rubber in the South Seas.

Bicycle sales are increasing.

There were even rickshaws that appeared.

The invention of rubber tires, from high prices to low prices, Daming merchants than the first to establish rubber factories, tire factories, various rubber products, etc., has become one of the main commodities of private commercial houses.

The Daming Industry Bureau realized that the various factories established later could not compete with the Nanyang Commercial Bank, and finally went bankrupt.

The imperial court will not cover the Ming Gong Bureau.

Just like at the beginning of the Beiping period, the factories in the Daming Industrial Bureau system went bankrupt, in addition to the factory managers and shopkeepers will be held accountable, and those who are fired or have violated the law will be imprisoned, and the remaining workers will also be transferred to other factories.

The rubber industry is a big industry, and scholars from the Daming Industry Bureau pointed out this.

Huge resources and manpower were invested, and in the end, the failure of this industry made the Daming Industrial Bureau hurt its muscles and bones, and dragged down many profitable factories, and the profit on Hong Xi's year-end statement in six years did not meet expectations for the first time.

In the face of fierce competition and external failure, the entire Daming Industry Bureau frowned.

All kinds of rhetoric and discontent flood the upper echelons.

Some blamed the big shopkeeper, some accused the merchants of unfair competition, and even dissatisfied with the emperor's indifferent remarks.

"Jingle bells."

A light brown young man shook the bell and pulled the rickshaw to stop in front of the waving guests, and the fashionably dressed young man stepped into the rickshaw and urged the driver to hurry up, his uncle had returned from abroad, and he was going to meet him in a hurry.

On the hard straight, the young man pulled the rickshaw quickly.

Rubber tires run fast and steady on straight roads.
