Chapter 41: Something Very New

Zhu Qizhen's thinking couldn't keep up, and his brain was buzzing.

It's not that he's stupid, he hasn't heard of Li Qing's terms, he understands a single word apart, but he doesn't understand it when it comes to a sentence.

"Sir, wait." Zhu Qizhen raised his hand to stop it, shook his stunned head, and asked, "What is the sprout of capital?"

What is industrialization?

What is to stimulate domestic demand? ”

Li Qing explained: "Capital sprouting is a phenomenon, well... To be precise, it is the phenomenon of the formation of production relations between employers and workers. ”

Seeing that Zhu Qizhen still didn't understand, Li Qing gave an example: "It's like an employer with capital and raw materials, hiring workers to produce goods, but what I'm talking about here is not an example, but a... Social.

The people are poor, most of them can't afford to buy goods, and the demand is small, which leads to a weak market;

Stimulating domestic demand is to stimulate the demand of the people of Daming, and when there is more demand, the market will naturally grow......"

Li Qing is talking about something very new.

Zhu Qizhen listened very hard, but under Li Qing's tireless explanation, he finally understood something.

Although it is not thorough, it also understands a general idea.

"As Mr. said, the people are poor and most of them can't afford to buy things, which leads to a weak market, so how to break the situation?" Zhu Qizhen asked.

"It's broken." Li Qing said with a smile: "Because the people can eat enough, and the development of overseas markets has earned a lot of wealth;

Although the money does not flow too much in the hands of the people, it also allows many people to have surplus money in their hands, and in the process of trading with overseas, some people have accumulated a lot of wealth;

At the same time, a large amount of production leads to cost reductions, such as assembly lines...... Ahem, take silk as an example, from planting mulberry and raising silkworms, to stripping silk and peeling cocoons, and then to weaving into silk, there are dozens of processes, each process has a special worker in charge, which greatly improves production efficiency. ”

Li Qing said: "The production efficiency has improved, the cost has naturally come down, and the people can afford it, which is a virtuous circle." ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded slowly: "When Mr. said industrialization, he refers to the phenomenon of vigorous development of the handicraft industry, right?" ”

"The emperor is wise." Li Qing smiled and nodded, "What does the emperor think?" ”

Zhu Qizhen thought carefully for a long time, and shook his head lightly: "There are pros and cons, and the disadvantages outweigh the advantages." ”

"Is the emperor worried that capital will force the imperial power?"

"Yes." Zhu Qizhen said bluntly, "If according to what Mr. said, the gentry group will eventually become a giant existence, and at that time, the top capital will employ tens of thousands, or even more people, then what will happen to the emperor in the future?" ”

After a pause, his tone softened slightly, "But this phenomenon that Mr. said is also a good thing for the people of the Ming Dynasty, I will not suppress it, and it can even promote it for a while;

But it will make my descendants be vigilant, once there are signs of capital becoming bigger, they must be suppressed immediately and strongly;

If my descendants are embarrassed, I will destroy them with my own hands before the Mandate of Heaven comes! ”

He has no doubt: "Daming will always come first, and everything else must make way for it!" ”

Li Qing nodded helplessly, this is the disadvantage of the family, and the interests of his own family always come first; Zhu Qizhen can do this step, it is enough, at least he still thinks about the people in his heart.

In any case, Zhu Qizhen's idea of monopolization was persuaded, and Li Qing's goal was achieved.

No one can say what the future holds, but if some good changes can be made, Li Qing naturally has to work hard. ωWω.GoNЬ.οrG

Perhaps for future generations, this is just a volume of history in the vast civilization of China, but not for Li Qing, these are all living people.

People who can see, touch, and have temperature.

He couldn't sit on the sidelines.

Li Qing has no lofty ideals and ambitions, but just wants to improve the lives of the people as much as he can.

The people of this age are much more miserable than the generations to come, and they have exhausted all their strength just by living.

"No one can say what will happen in a hundred years, so let's talk about the current situation." Zhu Qizhen diverted the topic, took a sip of tea, and asked, "Sir, how do you think the ministers will respond to the resumption of maritime trade by the imperial court this time?" ”

Li Qing pondered: "According to the past practice, everything has a big move in the court, and the first to jump out is a small shrimp, and the big guy will not jump out at the first time, and their usual method is to throw stones first to ask for directions;

When the situation is clear, or after the emperor is tested, they will prescribe the right medicine. ”

Zhu Qizhen bowed his head slightly: "What does Mr. mean...... The Imperial Historian? ”

"Not bad." Li Qing said with a smile, "The officials have the right to hear about things, they speak fiercely, and they have no scruples, they talk about the country and the people, but in fact, they are invited to the name, but more people are the mouthpieces of those bigwigs, and they just take money to do things." ”

Zhu Qizhen sneered: "They all say that they are not guilty, but... Not necessarily, during the period of Taizu and Taizong, it was not that he did not kill the official;

Words and officials can't be killed, that's what Song Taizu said, but it's not my Ming Dynasty! ”

He squinted his eyes and said, "If they want to take the rules of the Song Dynasty and show off their power in the Ming Dynasty, then I don't mind letting them taste the bitterness." ”

Li Qing did not express an opinion on this, and continued: "The court fighting method is just a small head, as long as the emperor sticks to the bottom line, the decree can still be issued, and the real big head is the place!" ”

Zhu Qizhen's eyes froze, and he looked at Li Qing in disbelief: "Mr. is saying... Are they going to make a riot? ”

"Nine times out of ten, it will." Li Qing said solemnly: "The emperor doesn't think that they will only calculate, as the saying goes, blocking people's wealth is like killing their parents, and the imperial court will reopen maritime trade, their interests will be damaged immeasurably, and turmoil is almost inevitable." ”

Zhu Qizhen still couldn't believe it, he felt that those people were stumbling and dragging their feet at best, and said:

"Sir...... Alarmist, right? ”

Li Qing sighed and said, "Taizong is powerful enough, right?" The result?

Through the canal, troublemakers emerge in an endless stream; opened the sea, and the weaving bureau caught fire; The capital was moved, Tang Sai'er rebelled, and the three major halls were almost burned...... That was during the Taizong period, did the emperor feel that he had the authority of Taizong? ”

Zhu Qizhen was silent.

After a long time, he suddenly asked, "How did Mr. know about these things?" ”

"It's no secret that these things have happened for only a few decades." Li Qing said.

"I've heard that these things are all accidents and special circumstances, right?" Zhu Qizhen still couldn't believe that Taizong was such a ruthless person, and there were still people who dared to go against him.

Li Qing smiled, "Your Majesty, do you really think it was an accident?" ”

Zhu Qizhen opened his mouth and was silent, he didn't think about many things and didn't feel anything, but when he thought about it deeply, it would be creepy.

"Huh~" Zhu Qizhen exhaled a breath of turbidity, no longer holding on to luck, "Mr. think, where will they start?" ”

"Fu. Build! Li Qing said: "There will be chaos here." ”

Then, he added: "Jiangsu and Zhejiang also have to be guarded against!" ”

"So many places?"

"They don't have to be really noisy, but we can't afford to be on guard." Li Qingdao said, "Be prepared." ”

Zhu Qizhen nodded solemnly: "I will discuss it with the British public Zhang Fu later, by the way, Mr. Forget it, whatever you want. ”

He didn't want to talk about the last dynasty, and it was useless to know that it was useless.

Li Qing sneered and said: "Your Majesty, although I am not active in the last dynasty, I often come to work overtime, and I am not idle, I have been planning for the emperor and the Ming Dynasty......"

"Okay, okay, I know." Zhu Qizhen said angrily, "It's just you, I would have punished him a long time ago." ”

It's just you, if you weren't for the little fat grandson, I wouldn't be used to you...... Li Qing said: "In this case, how many days will Rong Chen rest?" ”

"Haven't you been resting?" Zhu Qizhen was a little annoyed, "The Lu of the Eater is worried about the king, where has your consciousness as a courtier gone?" ”

Li Qingli is not straight, and his anger is strong, "Your Majesty, I haven't received my Yulu for half a year, have you forgotten, you have detained my Yulu until the end of next year,

I'm now on my own expense, you know? ”

"You're ......!" Zhu Qizhen wanted to get angry, but he was at a loss, and said stupidly: "It's not that you are at fault first, so I deducted you?" ”

Li Qing smiled bitterly: "The court meeting is just a formality, I am a seven-grade official, why should it matter if I can't go to the court?"

Why does the emperor care about these vain, besides, although I am not diligent in the court, I am honest and ......"

Li Qing boasted again, and then said: "Of course, the emperor is also very interesting to me, but it is precisely like this, there are not a few people in the court who have opinions about me, I am not appropriate to hide it, I am afraid that it will be difficult in the future!" ”

Then, he said: "There is no impermeable wall in the world, the emperor has repeatedly summoned him privately, how can the officials not know?"

If I make a big show in the court again, what will happen to them? ”

"I'll protect you." Zhu Qizhen said.

Li Qing shook his head slightly: "The emperor still takes it for granted, it really comes to that juncture, the emperor can't keep it, after all... The lesser of the two. ”

Zhu Qizhen's face was hot, and he said, "Mr. is also very important in my heart. ”

"Emperor Xie raises love." Li Qing smiled, "At present, there are already three forces in the court, six ministries and one faction, one cabinet faction, Yu Qian has his own faction, and there is a Metropolitan Procuratorate that rides on the wall;

If the emperor wants me to shake the court directly, there is only one way. ”

"What is it?" Zhu Qizhen hurriedly said, "Sir, just speak." ”
