I'm really not doing business

Chapter 195 The Emperor Personally Takes the Lead in Cutting Corners
Zhu Yijun didn't have much interest in building the imperial palace. The imperial palace was burned. Zhu Yijun achieved his political goal and launched a whole round of purges of the Northwest Tribe Party, and then further established the necessity of Zhenwu by burning the palace. , Whether it was Qi Hu, Yu Long, Li Chengliang, or Yin Zhengmao, they expressed very clear support for the emperor's clean-up of the Northwest Ethnic Party.

Yu Long and Qi Hu went there in person, Li Chengliang attacked Zhangwu and advanced the front line to ensure the safety of the Great Ningwei, and Yin Zhengmao went directly to Beijing to take the surname as His Majesty's overseas supporters.

What must be confirmed is that Luzon is of great significance to the stability of Daming's economy and the security of the southeast sea. Yin Zhengmao is willing to lead the country, which will bear a lot of infamy, but Yin Zhengmao does not care about personal honor or disgrace. He clearly supports Daming emperor.

Zhu Yijun's political goal has been achieved, and he is even less interested in building the palace.

He wants to live in Xiyuan, Xiyuan is good, surrounded by water, safe and at the same time, Xiyuan is more livable, because Beiya is dry, living by the water will not be too humid, and Zhu Yijun’s Baoqisi is modeled after the whole The layout of the Chu Guild Hall was built, and it is very comfortable to live in.

Zhang Juzheng refused the little emperor to live in Xiyuan no matter what. Your little emperor lived in Xiyuan at a very young age. The courtiers of the Ming Dynasty were tortured by Emperor Jiajing's bad behavior and left a psychological shadow.

In the end, the conflicts were irritated and reached a state of conflict. The little emperor agreed to build the palace, but it had to be wiped out.

Zhu Yijun's smearing is to force Da Sikou to reduce costs, not to make him criticize the craftsmen.

During the Longqing period, the strong wind direction was not to favor the gentry, while the strong wind direction in the early Wanli year was not to criticize the common people.

Small people can no longer suffer, but gentry can still suffer. This is a complete and meticulous logic, based on the current social foundation that Ming Dynasty has nothing to do with each other.

Xiaomin is already poor to the point where a family of five has two pairs of trousers.

It is precisely based on this politically correct situation that new policies such as clearing the tenure, returning the land, six books and one account, etc., began to be implemented on a large scale.

If Wang Chonggu, the chief official, scolded the small craftsmen and was caught by the judges, he must be impeached for Wang Chonggu, so that Wang Chonggu can see the sharpness of the judges. After all, Wang Chonggu is still wearing a crime.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Yijun entered through the Meridian Gate and entered the construction site, and put forward his opinions on the specific restoration of the palace, asking for details.

"Da Sikou, can we use less steel for this? Steel is used to cast cannons. Is it a waste to use it on the arch columns of the corridor? Use less if you can." Zhu Yijun proposed that he really Opinion, reduce the use of steel.

Wang Chonggu was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, we still have steel for casting guns in the Ming Dynasty. These are the steel materials used for drum casting in the new factory. Your Majesty, it is already much cheaper than using golden nanmu."

Even today, golden nanmu is still an extremely expensive wood. Taking Qianqing Palace as an example, a window frame of golden nanmu costs 5000 taels of silver. Except for the room where the emperor lived, nothing else is used. The most expensive ones are the pillars of the three main halls and the two palaces, which used to be spliced ​​together with golden silk and nanmu.

Now it is very economical to use steel mixed!
"If it's a hollow structure, you can fill the middle with construction waste. Anyway, the steel concrete is strong." Zhu Yijun mentioned another good way to save money!
Wang Chonggu said tremblingly: "Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, whether it is a lime factory, a steel factory or a glass factory, they are all built factories. If they are well managed, the money can be earned back. Your Majesty, this money should be spent and saved. There is no need Save it!" Wang Chonggu said that if you want to make ash, you must have a lime factory; if you want to inlay steel, you must have a steel factory; if you want to inlay glass, you must of course have a glass factory.

Wang Chonggu planned to give the Ming emperor a little shock in the official factory, and the matter of burning glass was already on the agenda. To change the glass windows of the palace, so that the windows are clear and clean, is Wang Chonggu's obedient heart.

"That's right. The great construction of the imperial palace can indeed promote the formation of industries and the advancement of technology, and even resettle some refugees so that they have skills to make a living. All of these are true, but a large-scale construction project is a large-scale construction project." Zhu Yijun saw Seeing that the construction site has begun to advance as scheduled, he said with a lot of emotion.

"Your Majesty, this is steel concrete, not civil engineering." Wang Chonggu corrected the emperor's statement.

Scholars are very good at chewing words, and they don't even have civil engineering. It should be said that Daxing Steel Consolidated.

Zhu Yijun laughed angrily, shook his head and said, "Da Sikou, let's talk about the clan party."

Among the criminals who were beheaded this time was Wang Chonggu's cousin Wang Chongya, who was indeed an out-and-out clan party, and the one who presided over the prison sentence was Wang Chonggu, who killed his relatives righteously.

When anything comes to an end, there must be a summary, a summary of experience and lessons, to prevent repeating the same mistakes, and Zhu Yijun asked Wang Chonggu to sum up the experience and lessons himself. It can be said that he has found the right master, and Wang Chonggu has a deep understanding.

"Clan, imperial examination and politics." Seeing that the little emperor finally asked, Wang Chonggu outlined the relationship between the three.

"Local clans linked by blood and geographical ties play an important role in the prosperity of regional merchant gangs. The high degree of binding of clans and merchant gangs will inevitably lead to the integration of scholars and merchants. This is not only in Shanxi and Shaanxi, but also in Daming. Nanya, Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong are more obvious, Your Majesty, Ma Ziqiang also comes from a family of great merchants."

"Businessman seeks wealth and benefits. Out of the practical needs of the survival and development of the clan, after completing the integration of scholars and merchants, the clan's giant merchants all regard the imperial examination as the first choice for their children. The imperial examination can combine merchants and bureaucrats who have power. As a result, the power of the clan has penetrated into the local government, and even the Jingtang and Wenhua Palace."

"There were Yang Bo, Wang Chonggu, Zhang Siwei, Ma Ziqiang and others in the imperial court successively, and the Jingtang was full of party members such as colleagues, fellow villagers, fellow teachers, and in-laws, which directly affected the court's decision-making."

"The integration of scholars and merchants, relying on the power of the imperial examination, will go a step further and become a group of bureaucrats and merchants to achieve the goal of feudalism."

"At the local level, under appeasement, and with the influence of the Jingtang, this collective has already become the existence of the King of the Mountain. This is the danger of feudal vassal towns; and because power is in the hands of bureaucrats, power is to link local powerful people. The hub of the economy is the root of the malpractice of appeasement; merchants often control the vast majority of the means of production and act as minions.”

"Local officials and clans are in collusion. They would rather resist the imperial edict than slander the common customs; they would rather break the law and discipline of the public than violate the entrustment of private sects."

"From bottom to top, the imperial court has nothing to do. This is the relationship between clan, imperial examination and politics."

Wang Chonggu himself was a member of the clan party, and he was very aware of the phenomenon of the clan party. It was a collective that closely integrated power and means of production, and its fundamental purpose was feudalism, more precisely, it was a feudal town.

"When the new Zheng Gong was in power, he said that we should look at the present. Ability must be valued, plan must be valued, profit must be valued, and law must be valued. So what caused the formation of the clan party? What are its social causes? ?” Zhu Yijun continued to ask, the feudal bureaucratic capital formed by the collusion of officials and powerful people is a phenomenon, and he wanted to know the cause of this phenomenon.

What exactly is feudal bureaucratic capital?It is a network, a network of regional political and business relations built on the basis of the clan, a network of means of production and power, which is strong enough to resist the network of the imperial court.

Wang Chonggu thought for a long time before answering: "I believe there are two reasons for the birth of the Clan Party."

"Commodity exchanges are becoming more and more frequent. In the past, small-scale economic and agricultural-based commodity exchanges based on households as units, using extremely small-scale means of production, and individuals as the foundation, relying entirely or mainly on their own labor to meet their own living needs. The trade in China is being replaced by a large-scale wage labor economy based on the collective, with factories as units, using large-scale means of production, and trade based on the production of commodities in a large number of handicraft workshops for exchange."

"Secondly, silver is essentially replacing copper coins, salt coins, and treasure banknotes as the main currency of Ming Dynasty. Because of its rarity, silver is naturally a currency, so the large-scale inflow of silver promotes the Commodity transactions have become more frequent, and frequent commodity exchange trade has expanded the demand for silver. This complements each other and continues to promote each other."

"This is the cause."

Zhu Yijun kept nodding his head and said: "Da Sikou's summary is very good. In practice, the more we promote the inflow of silver, the more we level the road, and promote the exchange of commodities, the more we will promote the formation of this feudal bureaucratic merchant collective. , then cutting off the inflow of silver, or even using system design, such as household registration guides, to close exchanges between various places, seems to be able to maintain the stability of my throne?"

The little emperor raised his doubts.

"Your Majesty, it makes sense in theory, but in fact it's putting the cart before the horse. Not eating for fear of choking to death is not in line with the general trend." Of course Wang Chonggu knew that from the standpoint of the emperor, it seemed to block business and trade. Exchanges, reducing the frequency of commercial goods exchange and reducing the inflow of silver can stabilize the rule of the old Zhu family.

Is it really?

The answer is no, Daming has already practiced it, Emperor Xiaozong did it, and Daming's public opinion on retro style is also based on this idea.It seems that as long as the merchants are removed from this world, all the rituals, social conflicts, and all unhappiness will disappear with the merchants.

Afraid of being choked to death, he will not eat. Indeed, he will not be choked to death, but he will definitely starve to death. The Ming court was almost impoverished, so Zhang Juzheng is not afraid of the notoriety of a gathering minister, and he is a Qingzhang in the court all day long. , Returning the fields again, collecting money for the court, how to spend the money that the court has, has become a problem again, the money can't be piled up in the treasury and lie down and moldy.

Zhu Yijun kept nodding his head and said: "Well, the clan party is indeed widespread in Daming; and the clan party's power is like a pair of big hands, extending to the corners of Daming, even to the capital, to the palace, influencing the court's decision-making, Let the social contradictions continue to intensify and fierce conflicts erupt, and the wider the hand is extended, the growth of the ethnic party will be fed back, which is complementary to each other."

"The reason for this is that the exchange of goods in Ming Dynasty is constantly accelerating, and the inflow of silver has further accelerated the speed of exchange of goods."

"How to solve it?"

The phenomenon, problem, and cause are all clear, so what is the solution?

Wang Chonggu thinks he is a villain who adapts to the situation.

Wang Chonggu's self-positioning has always been very clear. He will never be smart when the leader is confused. Zhang Juzheng is the kind of guy who knows that the guy sitting on the dragon chair is very confused and doesn't want to make progress at all. You Zhang Juzheng must be smart. Jiajing, blocking Longqing, teaching Wanli, these are all stupid things done by Zhang Juzheng.

Similarly, when a real villain like Wang Chonggu is smart, he will never hide it.

However, Zhu Yijun didn't think that Wang Chonggu was a monotonous villain, who could stop the bleeding of Ming Dynasty, provide peace to the herdsmen of Ming Dynasty, and make the official factory look impressive for the sake of the country's great plan?Can you perform the feat of righteousness and extermination of relatives?This Wang Chonggu will not be included in the biography of virtuous ministers in the future, who will be able to.

Although a large part of Wang Chonggu was forced to do good deeds by Zhang Juzheng, but good deeds are good deeds, regardless of deeds, no one is perfect.

For Wang Chonggu, Zhu Yijun has always viewed Wang Chonggu dialectically. When Wang Chonggu looks at himself, that is to say that he is a villain.

A villain has the way of a villain to survive, the emperor became smart, Wang Chonggu showed his cleverness, he bowed his head and said: "How to solve it?"

"Mr. Yuanfu's method is to break the appeasement and rectify the administration of officials. This method is good and clever. The names are drafted to determine the ranking, and the bottom book is filled in to show fairness. It is very good! Break the appeasement and rectify the administration of officials, and the clan party, The core bureaucrat among the feudal bureaucrats and merchants, this hub is broken."

"I don't have that much wisdom. I think I can also start with the means of production. If the means of production are concentrated in the hands of the court, it doesn't need to be much. Three achievements are enough. Then the feudal, gentry, and merchants The weakest link in the collective, the soil of merchants will be destroyed by itself."

Zhu Yijun looked at Wang Chonggu, Wang Chonggu looked at Zhang Juzheng, Zhang Juzheng looked at the little emperor, and the three of them looked at each other. As soon as Wang Chonggu said this, everyone immediately became thoughtful.

To break the appeasement and rectify the administration of officials, we should not only start with the administration of officials, but also start with the means of production. This is the core logic of what Wang Chonggu said.

Zhang Juzheng was silent for a long time and said: "Your Majesty, it's better for this chief minister to enter the cabinet as soon as possible. I think this statement is very good. If it can be done well, with the help of the examination, it will be more stable for a long time."

The means of production that Wang Chonggu said of course includes land, minerals, pastures, aquatic plants, etc., as well as the official factories that Daming has been working on recently, which are all means of production.

"I've agreed a long time ago. Da Sikou has been refusing to join the cabinet to do business. Is it my fault?" Zhu Yijun said with his hands spread out.

Last year, members of the clan party clamored for Zhang Siwei to join the cabinet to handle affairs. Zhu Yijun had already said that Wang Chonggu would join the cabinet to handle affairs. Uncles and nephews were the same. Cabinet to make an advance amount.

But Wang Chonggu repeatedly shied away, sometimes saying that he was old and weak, sometimes saying that he was immoral, and sometimes saying that he had not made any achievements. The most recent remarks were that the official woolen factory was not completed and the palace was still under construction. It is powerless.

Wang Chonggu hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, isn't this the Dingjian Great Worker rebuilding the palace? After the palace is restored."

Zhu Yijun agreed to Wang Chonggu's evasion, but the client was unwilling and forced Wang Chonggu into the cabinet, so Wang Chonggu would only use illness as an excuse not to join the cabinet.

Can you still work in the cabinet after entering the cabinet?

Really can.

After Xu Jie fell, Li Chunfang served as chief assistant for several years. Li Chunfang was sick today and begged for a rest tomorrow.

Zhu Yijun stayed at the construction site for a long time, and all his proposals were rejected by Wang Chonggu. Every one of the little emperor's proposals was charged with decapitation, such as hollowing the colonnade, reducing the number of encryption hoops, filling civil engineering waste, such as The reduction of steel materials for the pillars, such as soil backfill, is all a standard practice of cutting corners.

Wang Chonggu had 1 disagreements!
As for the backfilling of the soil material, Wang Chonggu was in a cold sweat. He said that after the foundation was dug, the pillars were buried, and the soil material was backfilled. According to the design, it should be tamped with Sanqi ash soil, one layer of ash and one layer of soil, layer by layer. Guarantee that it will not collapse due to rain or the like.

The emperor said that a pile of soil materials would save time and effort.

After Wang Chonggu heard it, he was amazed. According to the little emperor's practice, this 300 million project may be completed with hundreds of thousands!
Others plucked the wild goose, but the little emperor simply left the wild goose and took away the wild goose!
Wang Chonggu was also accused of conspiring with captives, but that was all before Zhang Juzheng's kingdom. The business of Yinjie captives stopped, Wang Chonggu was afraid of death, he could earn money anywhere, and he only had one life.

According to the amnesty law for the emperor's ascension to the throne, the mistakes Wang Chonggu committed before June of the sixth year of Longqing can be ignored. After all, the emperor's ascension to the throne granted the world amnesty.

Zhu Yijun hummed a ditty and left the Dingjian construction site, and went back to the side hall of the Wenhua Palace. He was reading a novel recently, a chapter novel with a total of [-] chapters.

Zhang Jin, the eunuch of the Nanya Army, made a lot of money selling books, so he looked around for good books that hadn't been published. He received a book, "Journey to the West" written by the master of Huayang Dongtian. He hurriedly presented it to the imperial court.

Journey to the West, a long novel of gods and demons that everyone knows, is different from the later generations who identified the author of Journey to the West as Wu Chengen. In Daming, the author of this book is still the master of Huayang Cave.

Journey to the West, Zhu Yijun loves to read, the more he reads it, the more strange it becomes, and the more he reads it, the more weird it becomes. This is not a novel of gods and demons, it is clearly a political novel.

Through the world view of gods and demons, it reflects and exposes all kinds of darkness and corruption in Ming Dynasty, and praises the rebellious spirit and heroic deeds that challenge feudalism and corruption. However, this book is a solid tragedy. There is no difference between gods and Buddhas in the sky, and the Buddha has achieved a positive result. Isn't it a kind of compromise and compromising with everyone?
Reading a book is like looking in a mirror. This Journey to the West is very similar to Emperor Wanli and Emperor Jiajing, especially Emperor Jiajing. The monarch who ignores the matter and watches the world with cold eyes is gone.

It is also a bit like Emperor Wanli. Emperor Wanli learned from Zhang Juzheng and practiced all his skills. He held the strong soldiers trained by Zhang Juzheng. Qi Jiguang was the Ruyi Golden Cudgel left by Zhang Juzheng to Emperor Wanli. In the end, he hid in the palace and became a saint who watched the world with cold eyes.

"Let me see, sir, and find out who wrote it for me. You dare to blame my grandfather, right? Is there any other law!" Zhu Yijun knocked on the table and said to Feng Bao, "Leave this book unopened. The moving palace engraving, let me mention a few words, no one will dare to imitate it."

"It's a good book, and making money is extremely important."

Feng Bao bowed his head to take the order, feeling a little bit disappointed. It is a good thing for the emperor to be economical and frugal. However, this stinginess has reached the point where the imperial palace was built. Frugal, the little emperor is so diligent and studious, this is no longer frugal, but stingy!

In this novel, which is obviously a metaphor for government affairs, the emperor needs to know who is in the yin and yang, but he still needs to make money!
Why should the emperor be frugal?Why did the DPRK and China form the political correctness of harshly criticizing the rich and powerful while treating the small people kindly?It all starts with Zhang Juzheng's Chen Liushishu.

In the section of Chen Liushishu's Gubangben, Zhang Juzheng said: [I heard about the rule of the emperor, and those who want to fight against the outside world must first settle down inside. "Book" said: The people are the foundation of the state, and the foundation is solid and the state is peaceful.Since ancient times, even in the time of extreme governance, it cannot be free from the troubles of barbarians and thieves.As long as the people are happy and the family is satisfied, even if there are foreign aggressions, the foundation of the country is strong and there is no danger. 】

It's just that the people are worried and anxious, and the people are not able to make a living, and then the barbarians and thieves take advantage of it.

To fight against the outside world, you must first settle down inside. The meaning of inside is that the people are the foundation of the country. If the people live and work in peace and contentment, the country will be stable. Whether it is barbarians or barbarians or thieves, they will follow the people to live and work in peace and become no problem. It is the principle that peace of the people can be followed by doing righteousness, but endangering the people is easy and wrong.

When the people settle down, they can do great justice, but when the people are in trouble, nothing is right.

The small people who are trapped in mergers need to be appeased, and the powerful and powerful who are obsessed with mergers must be punished. This is the core philosophy of Zhang Juzheng. point of view.

Immediately afterwards, Zhang Juzheng said bluntly: "Ran Chen secretly thinks that those who correct the wrong must go too far. When the people are exhausted, if they don't save money, they may not be able to save it."Fu Wang, the emperor, remembers the poverty of the people and benefits the country. If there is no rush for the project, it will not be beneficial to collect and handle everything. 】

This sentence directly bombarded Emperor Longqing who lived a life of extravagance and indulged in pleasure. Correction must be overcorrected. The people are so poor that the whole family has two pairs of trousers. Don't save him, he's just dead.

Don't make a lot of construction, don't requisition at will, be frugal and simple, be a model for the world's powerful and powerful, and be the first in the world.

The emperor is the biggest powerful leader in the world. If the emperor is frugal, then there will be a foundation for rectifying the extravagance of the powerful. The emperor is so simple. Confidence, this is also the root cause of Zhang Juzheng's constant talk: the emperor wants to be frugal and frugal.

Zhang Juzheng said so and did the same.Emperor Longqing was going to build the Xiangfeng Tower just after he ascended the throne, but was blocked by Zhang Juzheng and Li Chunfang.

Zhang Juzheng saw it very clearly, but Emperor Longqing himself was a person who liked to have fun. In the Spring Festival Gala of the Ming Dynasty, one reward was 10,000+ taels. Gong himself was stupid, Gao Yi died of illness, and after Zhang Juzheng took over the court, he started his New Deal.

On weekdays, Zhang Juzheng taught the little emperor to be frugal and simple, but now, it's backfired!

The imperial palace was burned down, and the emperor thought it was too expensive, so he refused to repair it, kept cutting the budget, and wiped out a zero when it was approved, but Zhang Juzheng saw the power of the boomerang.

"Yuanfu is really doing all kinds of bad things!" After Feng Bao brought the one-hundred chapter chapters of the gods and demons novel Journey to the West to Wenyuan Pavilion, he said sadly: "Yuanfu is the emperor's teacher, it is very important for your majesty to advocate frugality." It’s necessary, but there’s no need to overcorrect, just look at what’s going on! Your Majesty, it’s already very frugal to use steel instead of golden nanmu, and His Majesty even took the lead in cutting corners!”

"What is the face of my Ming dynasty!"

Zhang Juzheng was silent, he was indeed the one who taught this, and he also said that overcorrection must be overcorrected, it is indeed a bit too much.

The three main halls are indeed His Majesty's private residence, but that is also where the Great Court Meeting will be held!It is a public weapon, it is the majesty of the court, and it is where the divine weapon resides.

"Don't say it, don't say it, turn around, I will persuade Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng waved his hands again and again, the only one in the world who can embarrass him is His Majesty, the two dark clouds, one is that the little emperor is too good at reading, and the other is that the little emperor likes reading. Too many, these two dark clouds are getting bigger and bigger.

"It's not my fault, Mister." Feng Bao knew that he was losing control of his emotions, and he said in a worried voice, "It's also the court's problem, and His Majesty is also afraid of poverty."

Feng Bao could well understand why the emperor was so frugal and poor. He had just ascended the throne, and the imperial court was exhausted.

Feng Bao patted the chapter back to the novel and said: "Sir, Your Majesty wants to know who this master of Huayang Cave is."

Zhang Juzheng flipped through it for a while, and knew who wrote it. He said with certainty: "Li Chunfang, it's him."

This Journey to the West is too much of a scene in the palace. In this day and age, if you are not in the cabinet, how do you know there are so many scenes in the palace?

Feng Bao nodded and said: "Then you don't need to share the bill with Li Chunfang. When he became an official, the late emperor gave him a special reward. There were six years for the officials, six stones for the official house, and ten thousand mu of land. , and sent a middle-ranking official to accompany him, since it was written by a minister of the court, then His Majesty will use it, and he will not be given money."

"Should we have to divide the bills, because I took the books written by others for nothing, so I just take it for nothing?" Zhang Juzheng said tentatively.

"That's fine. Your Majesty will give him money, as long as he dares to ask for it. He is smug in the book, Your Majesty, and Your Majesty hasn't settled with him yet." Feng Bao chose to follow the good advice. Since Li Chunfang wants the money, let's settle the matter. It's His Majesty's account for the yin and yang.

Zhang Juzheng said with certainty: "Li Chunfang didn't criticize Sang Sang and Huai Huai. She criticized Chengyu. Isn't that what most people said? Even Li Chunfang herself, when she was young, felt that she was the one who turned the tide and helped the building to collapse. A hero, as he walks, the sharpness of his body begins to shrink, and finally he becomes a smooth person, this Monkey King is probably the silhouette of many people, not a metaphor."

"Your Majesty said he was a metaphor." Feng Bao said straightforwardly: "Don't share it, just pretend that you don't know who wrote it."

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng finally knew why Feng Bao wanted to say that there was something wrong with Zhang Juzheng's advocacy of thrift.

The emperor didn't even intend to know who wrote this novel of gods and demons, he just wanted to renege on the debt and not give a share to make money. What can Zhang Juzheng do? The little emperor played the card of making trouble for no reason in order to make money.

Feng Bao took out another edict and said: "Your Majesty wants to build a tripod and build a pagoda for the Holy Mother, so that all capable people and strangers in the world can look at the picture."

　The author of Journey to the West was the master of Huayang Cave in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. After Hu Shi and Lu Xun's textual research, it was Wu Chengen, and some people said it was Li Chunfang. The author accepted the latter.Ask for a monthly ticket, woohoo! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
