I'm really not doing business

Chapter 204

Zhu Yijun's smile was bright and sunny. During the court meeting, all the ministers were a little puzzled by the emperor's happiness. What exactly is His Majesty laughing at?
Tan Lun is an open-minded person who can say whatever he has. When he saw Zhang Juzheng finishing the memorial, he bowed his head and asked, "Your Majesty, what are you laughing at? Are you laughing at lowly Confucians who would rather kneel than stand?"

Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, "That's not true."

"My Baoqisi has finally played a positive role. I am not doing useless work. I am steadfast. Everything must be determined in the end. Although I say this, there is always no response, and I will become confused. Hou Yuzhao used Baoqisi's "Sweet Potatoes" when he was reclaiming wasteland in Liaodong. I am laughing at this."

Tan Lun suddenly realized, bowed his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Lowly Confucianism is not worthy of attention, but land reclamation needs attention.

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and the courtiers. Mr. Zhang was sorting out the memorials and preparing to continue discussing the important affairs of the court. The courtiers were whispering to each other and discussing state affairs in low voices.

For example, Wan Shihe was discussing with Ma Ziqiang about the kneeling ceremony in the ritual law. According to the records in the Guochao Records, the world still followed the Hu custom at that time, kneeling and worshiping was a ritual, and every drink had to be kowtowed. From the kneeling ceremony, we talked about the funeral ceremony at that time.

If Hu Su and Hu Li are regarded as poisonous, then the legal system established by Emperor Gao has been eradicating this poison.

In the early years of Hongwu, apart from kneeling ceremonies, civil burials were very common, and Emperor Gao elevated the burial to an imperial ceremony to prohibit folk burials, and the system of Emperor Gao’s burials also had political significance, preventing all kinds of messy harem meddling in politics.

Wan Shihe is now studying the history of the country, and he has gradually come to understand some things that he did not understand about Emperor Gao. He took into account the social background and environment at that time to understand historical events. This is something that lowly Confucianism cannot do.

There were many Wu Xun’s daughters in Emperor Gao’s harem. In addition to the death of the prince Zhu Biao, Jianwen Jun who was going to succeed could not hold back those Wu Xun. The purpose of the funeral was to let Jian Wenjun sit firmly on the throne.

In the six years after Yiwen's prince Zhu Biao died, Zhu Yuanzhang killed half of the court, but Jianwen Jun still failed to walk on this completely paved road.

The abolition of the system of sacrificial burial, in Wan Shihe's view, was the gold that Emperor Xianzong put on Emperor Yingzong's face, and forced his father to respect him.

Almost all of Ming Yingzong Zhu Qizhen’s black materials were collected, compiled and edited by Emperor Xianzong when he was revising the official record of the state. Whether it was knocking on the door, playing the huqin to the Hu people, or marrying a Hu girl as his wife, they were all things that were recorded to the real hammer.

Playing the huqin for the Hu people is probably like Tang Taizong captured Jieli Khan and let Jieli Khan dance in front of Li Yuan. It is a way to promote martial power.

Zhu Yijun looked at this scene curiously, and he thought of a movie, The Truman World.

The emperor of Ming Dynasty was actually the Truman living in the world of Trumen. Countless people surrounded the emperor, carefully weaving one set of lies after another, and then built an indestructible information cocoon, allowing the emperor to live among flowers.

But Zhang Juzheng wants to break this kind of information cocoon and cultivate the emperor. His method is: the one who does it is only faithful.

Any discussion that is not based on facts should be regarded as nonsense, and should be opposed.

Right now, the Ming Dynasty is not in a healthy state. There is a Minister of the Ministry of Justice who likes to gather power and don’t believe in the law, a Minister of the Ministry of Officials who is better at etiquette and national history, a Minister of the Ministry of War who is always too radical and resorts to violence to solve everything, a Chief Constitution who needs help from his sister-in-law and expedient in emergencies, and an incumbent Minister of Rites who has just joined the former Da Zong Bo for advice on etiquette.

The more normal ones are the first assistant Zhang Juzheng, the general Qi Jiguang, Yu Dayou, and the great Situ Wang Guoguang. The rest are actually not too normal.

But this is already the situation that Zhang Juzheng has tried his best to create. At least he can do things, which is enough.

"Ge Zongxian, do you want to do a miscellaneous newspaper?" Zhang Juzheng finished finishing the memorial, took out a memorial, and asked in surprise.

Ge Shouli nodded and said, "Nowadays there are cunning people entrusting famous mountain people, printing books and pasting demonic books to confuse the public with demonic words, creating power and public opinion, and swaying the government. And there are many people in the court who are afflicted and slander.

"The evil villain has already been punished by the sage, and I and other officials must not ignore it. I wrote and posted what he said, which is related to the government's political system and the chaos of the world. It confuses loyalty and evil, reverses right and wrong, and causes the country to be uncertain. The foundation of the government is shaken.

"That's why we run a miscellaneous newspaper, and get to the bottom of it."

Posting monster books on books is a means of political struggle. Hermits are political brokers. They specialize in writing all kinds of small essays that confuse the real ones to create popular public opinion.

Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong have a very good relationship. When Zhang Juzheng returned to his hometown in the fifth year of Wanli, he passed by Xinzheng and visited him specially.

However, in the tenth year of Wanli, after Zhang Juzheng's death, the volume "Last Words on the Sick Bed" written by the name Gao Gong appeared in the streets and alleys of the capital.

This method has been tried and tested repeatedly. For example, in the two demon book cases, "Worry about Hongyi" and "Continued Worry about Hongyi", both are demon book stickers created around the dispute between the country and the country.

The demon book, a rumor that can destroy the credibility of the Ming Dynasty.

"I can't be scolded by the court without retaliating. These lowly Confucians want to say what they want to say. Since there is a quarrel, I want to provide a place for them to quarrel. I thought about running a miscellaneous newspaper. Anyone can contribute to it. I don't want to be named. Some things are broken up and discussed, and the reason becomes clearer and clearer." Ge Shouli began to explain his reasons for running a miscellaneous newspaper.

If the imperial court does not occupy the high ground of public opinion, it will be occupied by others.

Recently, Ge Shouli was very angry, and Fan Yingqi, Wang Jiaping, and Wang Chonggu were also very angry. Several rumors about Yang Bo created wind and public opinion among the people, and they were arranged at will.

Yang Bo was a very special existence during the Jiajing period. He was the only courtier who was announced by the emperor. At that time, apart from Yan Song who could occasionally see Emperor Sejong, Yang Bo was the only one.

These ghost books didn't have much influence, because what they said was too absurd, but they still made Ge Shouli very annoyed.

"I already have a mansion newspaper, but I still want to run a miscellaneous newspaper, Mr. Ge, isn't that a bit presumptuous?" Ma Ziqiang asked a little strangely, isn't the mansion newspaper enough to trace the source?

Ge Shouli thought for a while and said: "The Dibao is too serious, the Dibao is qualitative, it is a final conclusion."

"That's right." Ma Ziqiang nodded in agreement with Ge Shouli's idea. The mansion newspaper was too serious, and for the miscellaneous newspaper, anyone could contribute without signing, so it was convenient for everyone to quarrel on it.

Miscellaneous newspapers are published every half a month, and the review is also done by the Quanjin Guild Hall. This is a Quanjin miscellaneous newspaper. Of course, it can also publish Chuanbao, Zhejiang, and retro miscellaneous newspapers. Everyone can do it. Who is right?

"It's better not to do it. Three people will form a crowd, and everyone's words will make gold, and the sun will soak up the moon, and the gold will burn the bones." Zhang Juzheng still does not agree with running a miscellaneous newspaper. It is enough to have a mansion newspaper. Miscellaneous newspapers are everywhere, which will confuse the public.

"Sir, I think there's nothing I can't do. My husband taught me that it's better to block the flood than to prevent it from being blocked. It's better to prevent the mouth of the people than to prevent the river. If the river is blocked and collapsed, it will hurt more people, and the people will do the same. Therefore, those who are for the river should make decisions; those who are for the people should spread their words." Zhu Yijun thinks it can be done.

According to the historical view of the lowly Confucianists, only "Spring and Autumn" has Dalun, and even "Zuo Zhuan Chunqiu" does not have the Dalun of the three cardinal principles and five constant principles, so it is worth not to read it.

But Zhang Juzheng talked about Zuo Zhuan, and he said it very carefully. Fang Min's mouth is better than Fang Chuan, which is from Zuo Zhuan.

It was said that King Li of Zhou was tyrannical, and the people of the country were slanderous. King Li of Zhou said: The people of the country do not understand the difficulties of the king, and set up guards to catch those who slander and comment on the king.

Water control should be guided according to the situation, and the people should also be allowed to speak.

It became an allusion that King Li of Zhou refused to listen to his advice, and the people of the country rioted.

Li Wang's running to the pig is really an allusion that Zhang Juzheng taught the little emperor. Now the little emperor uses this to block Zhang Juzheng and ask Zhang Juzheng to agree to Ge Shouli's miscellaneous newspaper.

"Your Majesty, I am not worried about damage to your Majesty's reputation. I am only worried about these scholars. This debate is the last bit of honor for scholars." Zhang Juzheng finally expressed his words clearly.

He denied running the newspaper, not because he was worried that the little emperor would be scolded for his unscrupulous words, but because he was worried that these scholars would be removed by the emperor as the last fig leaf.

Zhang Juzheng recognized the little emperor's ability in debating scriptures, even he, the chief assistant, couldn't catch the boomerang.

Once this miscellaneous newspaper is opened, whoever will be scolded may be.

Zhang Juzheng had already tried his best to protect the imperial scholars and scholars in the world. Few people knew what kind of monster he sealed. This monster was indescribable.

"Sir, you're worrying too much." Zhu Yijun said with a smile, "I'm just a child."

Zhang Juzheng looked at Cifu, then at Wan Shihe, then at Ge Shouli, and finally could only helplessly say: "Minister, obey the order."

No one had ever faced the terror of the little emperor, Zhang Juzheng was the only one who endured this great terror, so the courtiers felt that Zhang Juzheng was exaggerating and the emperor was just a child.

Just like a person drinks water, he knows whether he is warm or cold, and when he does not face the horror directly, he does not know how terrible it is.

After the court meeting, Wang Chonggu left the capital and headed for the Yongding woolen official factory. On the way, Wang Chonggu read the annals of the official factory again, and then closed his eyes for a long time, thinking about various problems of the official factory.

Recently, three people died in the official factory. They died from the heat.

Wang Chonggu came here every five days in person. When he was away, three people died of heat in the official factory, mainly the poor coolies who washed wool. Washing wool needs heating, so the temperature in the entire cleaning workshop can reach more than 60 degrees.

But wool cleaning is priced by catty, and a catty is given one cent of silver. A coolie can earn more than ten catties a day.

For this money, the poor coolies are unwilling to rest. Even in the dog days, in the hot factory, there are still some people who do not follow the rules and refuse to rest for a quarter of an hour before working.

Because under the high temperature, ten catties of wool is [-] cent and [-] cents of silver, and [-]% more is a high temperature subsidy.

Three people died of heat in the workshop, which happened in the hottest time of June.

This caused great trouble to Wang Chonggu. In the past three months, he was impeached by officials to collect money and criticize ordinary people.

In the end, the family members of these three people were paid 20 taels of silver each, and it was considered a settlement. Work-related injury compensation was paid, but someone still had to be responsible for the death.

However, anyone who works in a factory is considered a work-related injury. Wang Chonggu’s official factory annals and laws have added a chapter dedicated to how to reduce work-related injuries.

According to the official chapters of official annals and calligraphy, the death of more than 30 people in production activities will be held accountable to Wang Chonggu, the supervisor, 10 to 30 people will be held accountable to Chen Dezhu, the general manager, 3 to 10 people will be held accountable to the association, and less than 3 people will be held accountable to the charge d'affaires.

Chargé d'affaires are the most powerful craftsmen, and a team of ten people counts as one leader.

"I've seen the big boss." Chen Dezhu, the general manager, was standing under the signboard of the official factory, and when he saw Wang Chonggu's car stopped, he knelt down.

He thought that he would definitely die if he was sentenced to prison, but Wang Chonggu rescued him in every possible way. Not only was Chen Dezhu released from prison, but he continued to serve as the general manager. Chen Dezhu was very grateful to Wang Chonggu.

Wang Chonggu waved his hand and said: "I made my name on the list of not kneeling. You can't kneel anymore in the future. There are many affairs in the government and factories, and there are lawsuits all over your head. If you kneel again in the future, you will kneel me to the prison."

"If you do more, you will make more mistakes. If you do less, you will make fewer mistakes. If you don't do it, it's good. Don't deceive me."

"Yes." Hearing this, Chen Dezhu had no choice but to stand up, and said quite respectfully.

Wang Chonggu walked along the central axis and asked, "Has the high-temperature subsidy been paid out? If this money is found out and someone is involved in it, I am afraid that I will enter the Forest of Happy Steles and be ridiculed by generations."

Some money can be taken, such as the accumulation of wool, and the coolies outside the factory are disposed of. This account is not easy to reconcile. A lot of errands will do some small tricks. As long as the cost does not exceed the cost of their own disposal, Wang Chonggu usually let it go.

The imperial court would send Tiqi every month to hear rumors. If they were asked, Wang Chonggu and Chen Dezhu, both inside and outside the official factory, would have to be engraved in the Happy Forest of Steles.

The Happy Forest of Steles is to eat Nakayao for happiness, greedy for thousands of ink, and finally find your own position and height in the Forest of Steles.

In terms of humiliating people, Wang Chonggu recognized the emperor's ability very much.

"I've taken the money. I'm afraid the craftsmen will hit me on the head first." Chen Dezhu said with a smile all over his face, "I took some money, and the craftsmen endured it. They didn't give what they promised. A strong craftsman will really kill people. An honest person loses his temper, which is the most terrible thing."

"Well, it's good to know." Wang Chonggu recognized Chen Dezhu's words very much, and those who do it are only faithful.

Wang Chonggu's understanding of faithfulness is different from that of Zhang Juzheng. In his opinion, faithfulness is both top-down and bottom-up, which is very consistent with his consistent belief.

The imperial court promised to subsidize the high temperature, but if they refused to do so, but still praised the difficulties, the craftsman would really lose his temper. Chen Dezhu's answer was a bottom-up answer, while Wang Chonggu's request was a top-down one.

If you don't keep your promises and don't give the promised conditions, you won't see anything in a short period of time, but the fire in this person's heart will accumulate, and the quantity will change into a qualitative change, which will turn the world upside down.

The imperial court gave me a task, and if I did it well, the imperial court would reward me;
This is often the case, but the reality is not.

It's like giving the frontier army enough food, the frontier army can guard the pass city, and the frontier army can kill the thieves if they pay half the salary, but often the answer is that the frontier army is hungry.

Wang Chonggu raised his hand and asked, "Is what I want ready?"

"It's done." Chen Dezhu hurriedly replied, "It's already been used."

"Go and have a look." Wang Chonggu went straight to the wool washing workshop. Because it needs to be heated, it is really hot to death in summer.

In fact, September has entered late autumn, and the autumn tiger has only the last bit of strength to show off, but in this wool factory, it is still no different from a steamer.

"39 degrees, um, not bad." Wang Chonggu was sweating all over when he walked in. He came to the thermometer and read the temperature. The room temperature of 39 degrees was still very hot, but it was not a deadly temperature.

The wind blows in the workshop. This is the air circulation system of the wool washing workshop designed by Wang Chonggu. This system includes water drainage, blower and water curtain wall.

The water curtain wall is made of specially fired bricks and tiles. The pumped well water is sprinkled on the tile wall. While cooling the tile wall, a total of seven water rows form a blast system. The water wheel drives the hub to rotate, and the hub drives the wind blades to blow the water vapor on the tile wall into the entire workshop.

This is not the invention of Wang Chonggu alone, but the result of brainstorming by craftsmen in the workshop.

For example, the water curtain wall was learned from the pig house, and with one more water curtain wall, the temperature can be lowered by 8 to 10 degrees. For example, the water row and blower were obtained from the Bingzhan Bureau, and the agitation of the water row and blower was made using the crank invented by Zhu Zaiyu.

And these let the temperature in the workshop drop to an acceptable level.

"Two senior medical officers, Chen Shigong and Li Shizhen, came to see them, and said that the three people were actually suffocated to death, either from heat, or from too much water vapor and poor ventilation. Let our official factory pay attention." Seeing that Wang Chonggu was very satisfied with the new equipment in the factory, Chen Dezhu explained again.

"Have any relatives of these craftsmen come to make trouble?" Wang Chonggu asked as he walked through the wool ponds one by one.

Chen Dezhu said with certainty: "I heard that if the child can go to the official school to study, it will be nothing more."

The Guanchang School was established by Wang Chonggu after Ge Shouli Quanjin Guild Hall’s home school. It taught people to read, write, and count. They studied for six years, which was their enlightenment.

The school only enrolls students from craftsmen in official factories, and does not require too much training. The conditions for reading are very simple, and even the books for literacy are collected once a year.

The official factory school also accepts girls. Most of the weavers in the factory are female, and both parents work in the official factory. This child can only run around in the streets.

Wang Chonggu originally only planned to find a place for these children running around in the street to have a place to settle.

His original intention can be said to be very utilitarian. He just wanted to enclose all the children of these craftsmen's children, so that they don't run away and their parents go looking for them, delaying production, delaying production, isn't this delaying making money?
His motive is to make more money.

As a result, there were too many applicants, so Wang Chonggu had no choice but to mobilize his contacts and find a group of instructors. The official factory school was established, and the books handed in in the first year made Wang Chonggu deeply touched.

The books that were handed back were all intact, and could even be called brand new. It wasn't that the craftsmen's children didn't study well. On the contrary, they cherished every book very much, and every book was wrapped in a cover without any smearing inside.

In the four years of Wanli, to be able to read was at least a poor family, and poor families also had a family background. Craftsmen without a threshold at home could let their children study. It was Wang Chonggu and Wang Dashan who showed kindness. Therefore, in this craftsman school, from parents to children, they care about books and protect them very well.

Wang Chonggu walked out of the wool factory, and explained to Chen Dezhu that this needs to be maintained regularly, no matter how hot it is, no one can handle it.

"Big Sikou, this is a gift from the craftsman's family." Chen Dezhu brought a list with a bunch of things written on it. After reading it, Wang Chonggu frowned and said, "All go back. The official factory is a place to gather money. If I take it, I will have to go to the prison tomorrow."

Chen Dezhu said with a look of embarrassment: "Da Si Kou, really take it. The craftsmen have asked a lot of things recently. If you don't take it, people's hearts will be in turmoil."

Wang Chonggu noticed that there was something in Chen Dezhu's words, and said with a stern face: "Speak if you have something to say, hesitating."

"I heard that the official factory school has brought a lot of trouble to Da Sikou?" Chen Dezhu chose to tell the truth.

Although the craftsmen were not well-informed, they also heard about the affairs of the imperial court. Three people died of heat, and Wang Chonggu was criticized, and this official factory school was also the place that received the most criticism. The craftsmen were a little worried. If the craftsman school could not continue, where would the children go to school?

Wang Chonggu will also be scolded if the official factories and schools promote education?
Yes, the official factory has original sin, as long as it is official factory, everything should be criticized, besides, this school also admits female students, how decent is it for female students to show their faces in public?
But if you don't leave the gate, you don't step out, that's the treatment that only a lady can have, waiting for the children of ordinary people, which girl doesn't go to the field to help pick up wheat ears, help fertilize and cultivate the land when she is young?

It is already shameful to talk about profit, but if you, Wang Chonggu, still want to collect it, it is to trap the master in injustice and the world in poverty.

This logical thinking is like this: The loss of the people's hearts of a ruler often starts with accumulation, and if the cover is easy to accumulate, then the ministers who are happy will cater to the above wishes and strip the people's wealth.This is why the hearts of the people are resentful, and the world is poor and poor.

Therefore, Wang Chonggu is a minister of prosperity, and the Lord likes to gather money. As a minister, instead of blaming Chen Shan and denouncing the emperor's faults, he helped Zhou to do evil. Wang Chonggu has already become a treacherous minister who has done all kinds of bad things.

The widespread opposition to the Guanchang Academy is due to the pressure of public opinion caused by Wang Chonggu's order to rectify the Tianxia 64 Academy.

To take it is to criticize the ordinary people and accept bribes. If you don't take it, the hearts of the officials and factories will be in turmoil, fearing that the school will be banned, and people will panic;
The establishment of these official factories and official factories and schools is to amass profit; if these official factories and official factories and schools are not established, it is against the holy order.

It's that hard to do something.

"Hey, just take a basket of chickens." Wang Chonggu took it, took a basket of eggs, and finally understood why Hou Yuzhao took the melons, fruits and vegetables of the common people when he went to Zhangwu to cultivate fields in Pinglubao, knowing that he might be impeached.

The hearts of the people are united, and the mountains move.

If people's hearts are scattered, nothing can be accomplished.

"The craftsmen in the factory don't have to worry about things in the court. The wind and rain will rain on me, not them. Just do things with peace of mind. Bring the account book and let me have a look." Wang Chonggu told Chen Dezhu not to worry about the wind and public opinion in the court. The nearly ten thousand people in the official factory and the tens of thousands of woolen people around the official factory were all on his shoulders. He could not fall down, let alone retreat.

Wang Chonggu finished the accounts. In September, there were 99240 pieces of worsted cloth and [-] pieces of woolen cloth, and the calculated profit was [-] taels of silver.

Wang Chonggu divided it into 1 taels of silver a month. He took the abacus and crackled and calculated. If this continues, the annual profit of the official factory will soon exceed 150 million taels of silver. In addition, the court and San Niangzi negotiated the price of horses and silver. The reduced expenses can just be used for the expansion of the Beijing camp.

After thinking about it, Wang Chonggu withdrew 5000 taels of silver from the official factory. He asked four people to carry the silver into the car and headed for the capital.

He brought silver and knocked on the door of the Quanchu Guild Hall. He planned to rely on the path he had used in the past, and begged to come to Yuanfu and ask Zhang Juzheng for help.

Ever since Zhang Siwei's unlucky bastard was sent to Jiejieyuan, the voice of wanting Guaman Wang Chonggu has been heard endlessly.

Wang Chonggu was under a lot of pressure.

Yuansuke, for the sake of making money, save him.

　Ask for a monthly ticket, woohoo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
