Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 368 Unruly New Continental People
Zhu Laoliu has a good mother, and his future in Japan depends on his mother.

But Zhu Laoshi can't do it.

His biological mother, Concubine Li, was weak and weak, and it was impossible for her to beat North Korea's Yangban.

So there is no way.

Emperor Zhu had to pay attention to everything for the sake of his son's future North Korea.

The future of the Ming Dynasty will be a celestial system with Ming as the core. In this system, the life of North Korea, the first filial son of the Ming Dynasty, must be good - because this is the model created by the Ming Dynasty.

If you want people to follow suit wholeheartedly, how can you just rely on brainwashing to fool you.

To rule others, first rely on violence, and second rely on profit.

Violence does not last long, and only when there is interest, or the support of a firm interest group, can there be long-term peace and stability.

So now Emperor Zhu also wants to establish a Zhu family North Korean interest group for himself and his son.

".North Korea's problems lie in two points. One is the two shifts, and the other is the peasants. The two shifts are easy to solve. The key lies in the peasants. For the long-term peace and stability of North Korea, the peasants' problem must be solved. The peasants' problem has two cores. The first is the land conflict. The second is the contradiction between peasants and landlords."

"The so-called land conflict is that the peasants have no land, while the two groups of landlords occupy almost all the land."

"The so-called conflict between farmers and landlords lies in the rule of the farmers over the countryside and the cruel exploitation brought about by this rule. Under such exploitation, the Korean farmers have been living in hopeless extreme poverty for a long time. This is the root cause of the Chosun Donghak party rebellion!"

What is talking is not the Ma Dashen or En Dashen of the later generations, let alone the investigation report of the peasant movement.

But Emperor Zhu.

Yes.

His Majesty the emperor of a great empire is now talking about class contradictions in the countryside.

If people in later generations see it, they will definitely feel quite disobedient.

Just listen to this.

It's a bit like a meeting hosted by Mr. Kim, the great mentor of the later generations of North Korea.

But look at the delegates here.

All of them wore black gauze hats and big red robes.

All are feudal officials.

As for the one speaking on the stage, it was quite normal. It was Zhu Daohua, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who was wearing the uniform of an officer of the Ming Army.

This is in the large conference room of the Changchun Palace in the central capital. There are more than 200 civil and military officials separated from each other. Emperor Zhu's angry voice echoed in the hall, and everyone could hear clearly. There were papers and pens in front of everyone. They are all scribbling hard.

This is the first rural work conference of Zhu's North Korea.

Most of the officials present at the meeting were literati who were frustrated with the two classes.

Most of these people were scattered in various parts of Ming Dynasty or were selected by refugees who escaped from the areas occupied by the Dongxue Party.

They all have a certain level of education, can write and count, and can use Chinese characters fluently.

They will now be the fourteenth prince of the Ming Dynasty, the initial team of the future North Korean king, and will be assigned to various parts of North Korea as officials. This is also the basic set of Zhu's North Korea in the future.

Zhu Daohua has been the emperor for so long.

The skill level has been honed.

Of course he knew.

My son cannot be a user of only one group in North Korea.

Those officials from the two classes of wealthy families are not very reliable, so it is necessary to support an official from a poor family outside of them.

This is the so-called balance technique.

Also.

Emperor Zhu is still very clear.

In any reform, it is easy to take advantage of others, but difficult to make use of oneself.

The reforms of the Ming Dynasty were bumpy, two steps forward, one step back, and one small step forward.

Not to mention the equal division of land, even if it was an imperial examination, Emperor Zhu divided it into several steps to complete it. He would rather launch a war to grab the land than carry out any land reform in the country.

Reforms in North Korea, however, have been much more drastic.

Anyway, the landlord class in North Korea has no strength, Emperor Zhu can squeeze it at will, and there is no pressure at all to divide their land.

Let alone Emperor Zhu.

Even the princes of the Ming Dynasty, the representatives of the scholar-bureaucrat class of the Ming Dynasty, did not take North Korea too seriously.

After Peng Jun and others confirmed that Emperor Zhu would not carry out any land reform in Daming to divide the land equally, they wisely stopped asking about North Korea.

Instead, he is busy with government affairs, especially preparing for next year's "Big Enke".

After all, there are too many things going on in the Ming Empire. As the prime minister and the leader of the Xianghu faction, the main force in the Ming Dynasty, Peng Jun has too many things to do.

And now the future North Korean officials at all levels selected, in fact, have no objection to the equal division of land, anyway, it is not their land-speaking of it, these people are literati who have lost their land, so there is no resistance to the equal division of land.

"The Great Emperor is going to completely reform North Korea and get rid of all the ills."

Park Sun-il said with emotion.

He was also born in the second class, but his family fell into poverty very early. He went to Nanyang with his family to make a living when he was 13 years old. Later, when the Ming Dynasty regained China, he went to live in Zhongdu with his family.

It has been more than ten years since I left North Korea.

In fact, Park Sun-il couldn't even speak Korean very fluently.

He even participated in the imperial examination of the Ming Dynasty, but unfortunately he failed to pass the exam.

After seeing that the Ming Dynasty was going to recruit North Koreans to serve as officials in North Korea, he signed up without hesitation.

Although the Imperial Examinations of Ming Dynasty could not be passed, the Imperial Examinations of North Korea was still easy—after all, there were few Koreans in Ming Dynasty, and the pressure of competition was not great.

"Yes, Da Mingzi is really the father of Joseon!"

Sitting next to Pu Shanyi was a North Korean man named Zhang Daxuan. He was originally from the seventh class of untouchables. Because he worked as a book boy for the young master of a wealthy family when he was young, he knew some characters, and now he can also be an official—— In the previous North Korea, it was impossible for him with such a background to be an official, so Zhang Daxuan is willing to be called the ancestor, let alone kneel down and call the Ming emperor's father.

"That's right, the ills of the past 400 years, the 2000 million Korean people, and the three thousand miles of beautiful mountains and rivers, finally have a peaceful day!"

Park Sun-il said.

When he was in Nanyang, he had seen the collective farms of Ming Dynasty, so he knew that farmers had another way of life - not relying on the gentry, not afraid of the government, but also owning their own land (actually their own), whether it was common Labor, or dividing the fields and doing it alone (the operation mode of collective farms is not fixed, but generally, sales and purchases are carried out collectively), can make the farmers' lives rich.

Even if you have to participate in the battle frequently, even if someone sacrifices. ,

But such a pay, no one thinks it is not worth it.

Because everyone is fighting for their own interests.

Farmers in collective farms are not afraid of the gentry or the government, they have no worries about food and clothing, and they can even run private schools to educate their children.

Since, a collective farm without gentry landlords runs better than a village ruled by gentry.

Then what is the need for the existence of landlords and gentry?
And what effect does the existence of these gentry have on the country?
As far as North Korea's Liangban wealthy households are concerned.

They will only lie on the North Korean farmers to suck blood.

Literature cannot secure the country, and martial arts cannot defend the country.

What a bunch of trash.

At this time, Emperor Zhu, who was sitting on the rostrum, continued to start his "Zhu's Rural Theory".

"The current hierarchy and land system in North Korea are the biggest obstacles to the development of North Korea. The wealth of a country in North Korea cannot be used for the people, but is taken away by the wealthy households with a small population. The wealth of a country cannot be used. It is a huge burden for the entire Korean society to raise soldiers, but not the people. It only raises a parasitic class that does not produce and cannot create wealth. Therefore, this parasitic class must be cut off, the privileges of the two classes must be cancelled, and the classes must To be equal, the imperial examination should be extended to the whole people. Any North Korean citizen has the right to participate in the Korean imperial examination! In addition, there must be an age limit for the imperial examination. You must not take the imperial examination until you are 30 years old. Doing something else, like farming or doing business, is better than sitting at home and reading dead books."

Emperor Zhu moved the imperial examination reform of Ming Dynasty to North Korea.

North Korea takes China as its teacher in everything.

So the problem of this country is actually similar to that of China, no, it should be more serious - at least the imperial examination in China is open to all people, while the imperial examination in North Korea can only be taken by two classes of households, and the class solidification is more serious. The elite of the whole society is a group of hundred people. A useless literati and doctor.

Emperor Zhu has no objection to reading sage books. It is good to read some principles of loyalty to the emperor and patriotism, and Emperor Zhu supports it very much.

But you can't read it forever.

If the elites of a country read the Four Books and Five Classics to death, do not participate in production, and do not create wealth, can this country develop?

Emperor Zhu didn't want his son to rule a poor North Korea.

If the old fourteen ruled the poor North Korean country like a cosmic power in the later generations, he would go to his elder brother Zhu Yi to chisel the autumn wind every now and then.

That was too irritating.

Jinshan Governor's Mansion, Jinshan City.

"Brother, what should we do now? Why have we lost all the important things? We are here to join the second uncle, not to join the collective farm!"

The one who was talking was a tall young man, who was drinking corn wine with an angry look on his face.

"Forget it, if you go to the collective farm, you can go to the collective farm. After all, you are also an official."

"A ninth-rank official is also an official? What kind of training do you have to attend? If you knew it, you would have gone to Chengdu."

"Ninth-rank officials are not considered officials, anyway, they will go back in June next year."

Two young men were sitting in a tavern in Jinshan City with their heads drooping, drinking wine.

They are Li Zhongyi's two elder nephews, Li Zhongren and Li Dabao's two good elder sons, Li Dao and Li De.

Originally, they came to seek refuge with their good second uncle Li Zhongyi, but when they arrived in Jinshan City, they found that the checks and ID cards in hand had been taken away by pickpockets. ,

This is incredible.

Unable to prove their identities, no one would believe that they came to seek refuge with their relative Li Zhongyi no matter what they said.

Now they have two choices.

One is to join collective farms and farm like most immigrants from Sichuan.

Another one is to take the official selection test of Jinshan City - in fact, it is very easy to pass, there are too few literate people in this place, basically as long as you can write and count, you will be a ninth-rank official if you go there.

It's too easy to get an official.

But the Li brothers are not reconciled.

They originally brought 1000 yuan and wanted to hire a group of people to enclose the land and build a farm, but now it’s all right, the check is lost—even though someone else stole their check, they can’t get the money out.

That check is a signed check.

But they don't have a check on hand, so there is no way to withdraw money.

The brothers of the Li family who became paupers had no choice but to accept their fate.

It is better to stay in Jinshan City to participate in official training than to join the collective farm.

In any case, it is definitely better to go to the grassroots to be an official.

The two brothers were complaining.

A cold snort of ridicule was heard.

Li Dao looked up, and it turned out to be a man in a red robe with quail embroidered on his patch, holding a wine glass with a mocking look on his face.

The Li family brothers looked at each other.

They are now candidates for ninth-rank officials, and they are not afraid of this ninth-rank sesame official.

Li Daogong cupped his hands and said, "My lord."

"Don't call me an adult, I can't bear it, I can't bear it." The ninth rank official took another sip of wine.

"Do you really think you can go back next June? Just dream!"

The Li family brothers looked at each other: "How do you say this?"

The ninth-rank official looked around, and said in a low voice: "The Son of Heaven has tried everything possible to immigrate to the New World, how can I let you go back so easily."

"I'm waiting for the official!"

"Official? So what? Besides, when you become an official here in the New World, don't put on any official airs, and be careful of being beaten!"

"Hit? Who dares to hit an official?"

"Hehe, let me tell you, don't look at the immigrants who came with you are honest and obedient citizens. If you stay here for a year or so, you and I, ninth-rank officials, will not be taken seriously. of."

"My lord, you are joking. An official is an official, and the people are the people. Wherever you go, the common people are afraid of being an official."

"Humph"

The ninth-rank official snorted coldly, as if you knew it sooner or later.

Just now.

A commoner in fur clothes walked in, carrying some animal's corpse on his shoulders, and swaggered up to the hotel manager.

"Shopkeeper, shall we take the wild game?"

"Take it! Take it! Just wait, I'll give you the money right away." The shopkeeper said politely.

"Okay, give me another jug ​​of good wine and two side dishes."

say this.

The man looked around and found that there was a seat in front of the Li family brothers, so he swaggered over to the table next to him and sat down.

The faces of the Li family brothers changed slightly.

Their family is the best in Daqiao Town.

Ordinary people have to bow their heads when they meet them.

And now they are wearing long robes and official bodies, and there is an official wearing official uniforms next to them.

Do ordinary people dare to stand up and sit on an equal footing with officials?
There are no rules at all!
"The shopkeeper! Throw this bitch out of me!"

Second Master Li Deli was already full of anger, so he slapped the table and started yelling.

The woman froze for a moment, then turned to look at Li Dao and Li De brothers.

The Li family brothers also looked at the woman. The woman was very ugly, but both felt as if they had seen it before.

'You can't, you two, this is from Zhuangzi! 'The shopkeeper hurried over.

"Chuang Zi on? Which Zhuang Zi is on?"

I haven't waited for the shopkeeper's answer.

thump.

The woman threw a package wrapped in a round object and smelling of blood in front of the Li family brothers.

The two of them trembled in fright.

"Heads"

Li De trembled.

"What's wrong with the collective farm?" the woman said.

"You two are Li Zhongyi's nephews, right?"

The Li family brothers froze for a moment.

Li Da hurriedly stood up and asked, "Who are you?"

"Your aunt!"

The woman stood up, raised the head and said.

"Shopkeeper, I don't want wine and meat. Someone from my hometown is here."

"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper also laughed along with him.

"Let's go, what are you still doing?"

"Where to go?"

"Go to your uncle."
