I'm really not doing business

Chapter 205 "Illustration of Labor" Zhu Zhongxing
Wang Chonggu's money was not sent to the Quanchu Guild Hall, but was rejected by Zhang Juzheng.

But Wang Chonggu went in, so there was still some salvation. Zhang Juzheng thought that this person could be saved, so he would let him in. He thought he was hopeless, and he couldn't even open the door.

Zhang Siwei came to pray many times, and the whole Chu guild hall was being decorated.

"What is the chief minister worried about?" Zhang Juzheng signaled Wang Chonggu to take his seat, and said strangely: "In the three years of Wanli, I was scolded for more than 5000 memorials. Am I still the chief assistant? Your Majesty emphasizes practice and following officials. Only those who can accomplish things will be used, and those who cannot do things will not be used."

"Da Si Kou did such a good job, he saved himself, he saved himself, and you still need me to save one or two?"

As a courtier who can directly meet His Majesty, does Wang Chonggu still need someone to save him?He has already saved himself. The official woolen factory is running very well, and he directly took out all the money for the expansion of the Beijing camp. This is a trump card to save his life.

"We are all people who came here during the Jiajing period. The words of these officials are really scary." Wang Chonggu is actually not too afraid of being splashed with dirty water, and he is not afraid of his reputation. He is already happy, so he cares about these?
What he was afraid of was that if the emperor believed in the dirty water, he would be in big trouble.

A lie, told by 1 people, becomes true.

The case of Fang Xiaoru's Ten Clans, a fake case at first glance, in the eyes of those who don't know it, isn't that the ironclad evidence of Emperor Wen's tyranny?Whether there is an empty seal case or not, how big is the case, how violent is the disturbance, and tens of thousands of people are said to have been killed, who are these tens of thousands of people?Where is the name?
Whoever can define history can define an era.

"Your Majesty is actually very simple and kind. As long as it is beneficial to Daming, His Majesty will do it, and if it is not conducive to Daming, His Majesty will remove it." Zhang Juzheng said with a smile: "Don't worry too much."

Zhang Juzheng told a good joke, Your Majesty is kind.

Compared with Tan Lun, who pursues speed and efficiency, His Majesty is indeed benevolent.

"I have a memorial here, and I intend to submit it tomorrow, so I will show it to Yuanfu first." Wang Chonggu took out a memorial. In fact, he was testing whether Zhang Juzheng was angry. Before, he bypassed the cabinet to present to His Majesty.

After reading the memorial, Zhang Juzheng was silent for a long time and said: "Da Sikou's memorial is very well written, penetrating into it, it can be a good policy for the new policy, very good, very good."

"Should we play the first auxiliary book together?" Wang Chonggu asked again.

"Da Si Kou just played it himself. This is the credit of Da Si Kou, not mine. How dare I be greedy for credit?" Zhang Juzheng's face was still gentle, and his smile was still very cheerful.

In Wang Chonggu's view, he is a precarious person who is about to suffer a lot of bad luck. He has discovered many crimes against him, and the official woolen factory is his life-saving straw.

First of all, it is the crime of usurpation. It is a big taboo to use gold letters for his daughter's edict, so he lost the crown prince Shaobao, although at the end of the third year of Wanli, His Majesty gave him this official position again.

The second is the crime of greed. In the fifth and sixth years of Longqing and the first year of Wanli, he embezzled a lot of horse price silver and the silver of the Great Wall Dingjian, especially preventing the court from inspecting the frontiers.

Then there is the crime of treason. Gao Gong, Yang Bo, and Wang Chonggu are the joint creators of the Jin Party monster, and Zhang Siwei is an extremist born under the background of this huge monster.

Then there is the crime of treason, raising the bandits' self-respect, relaxing defenses and favoring the enemy, and colluding with the Northwest Alta Khan, and finally completed the Alta tribute.

As far as these four charges are concerned, each of them is an unpardonable capital crime.

But in Zhang Juzheng's view, this has to be seen in stages.

If in the first year of Wanli, Wang Chonggu would be damned, after the first year of Wanli, Wang Chonggu took out all the greedy money, blocked the Great Wall, and at the same time settled the 19 people well.

In fact, Zhang Juzheng has regarded Wang Chonggu as an assistant minister. After all, he has been preparing for Wang Chonggu to join the cabinet since the end of the second year of Wanli, and has been preparing until now.

"This matter, Da Si Kou has to join the cabinet to handle it." Zhang Juzheng pushed the memorial back. This is no longer something that the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment can handle.

"It's still Yuanfu's book, and Yuanfu will do it. I have a woolen official factory here, and there is a palace and a tripod building over there." Wang Chonggu pushed the memorial back again.

Zhang Juzheng pushed the memorial back, shook his head and said, "How can I be greedy for such a great contribution?"

Wang Chonggu handed out the memorial again and said: "If this matter is done well, you will be scolded by Confucian scholars, if you don't do it well, you will be beheaded by His Majesty as a public display. Let Yuanfu do it."

After pushing and pulling, Wang Chonggu's memorandum returned to his own hands. He asked Zhang Juzheng to save him, not only with silver, but also with the New Deal, a great contribution. In the end, he was pushed out and Wang Chonggu came by himself.

Wang Chonggu has been writing this memorandum for more than a year. He does not want to use his subjective initiative to do things, but just wants to take shelter of the first assistant and continue to earn his own money.

As a result, Zhang Juzheng thought that the credit was too great to be coveted, so he asked Wang Chonggu to supervise it himself.

Wang Chonggu's memorandum is an outline memorandum, not talking about specific things, but based on his own practice to contribute to the revival of the Ming Dynasty.

The core issue of his memorial is to use the official factory system to resettle refugees from all over the world.

The people of the Ming Dynasty were trapped in annexation, there were many fugitives from the Weisuo, and more and more tenants lost their land. In Nanya, eunuchs became a fashion.

Official factories can accommodate some refugees, select qualified skilled craftsmen from them, and maintain the profit scale of official factories; and the tripod construction supervised by official factories, such as the Great Wall, the Imperial Palace, dredging rivers, leveling post roads, and farming official fields after returning fields, etc., can solve the plight of refugees who cannot make a living.

The imperial court collects so much tax, and there are government factories for profit, how to spend it?Establish a large number of official factories, open roads, build bridges, reclaim wasteland, open borders, and strengthen the army.

This is the core essence of Wang Chonggu's book "The World Is Trapped in Mergers and Rescue Hooligans".

Hooligans, those who have no house or land are called liu, and those who are jobless and idle are called hooligans.

Wang Chonggu's memorandum also synthesized the vicious cases that broke out concentratedly some time ago. When these small people were used, why didn't they know that they were being used?

But they have nothing left. Are they worried about where their meals will be tomorrow, or when they will be caught and punished in the future? Which of these two issues is more important and urgent to these wandering people?

But Zhang Juzheng asked Wang Chonggu to do it himself.

Wang Chonggu has rich experience in relocating refugees. He has resettled 19 people in the northwest. These reclaimed acres and production have made the northwest frontier more and more stable, thanks to the increase in the total amount of food.

The reason for Zhang Juzheng's refusal is also very simple. The timing is wrong and the struggle is not intense enough. Only after a more intense struggle can there be a reconciliation.

Wang Chonggu will also re-examine his memorials.

And Zhu Yijun is also in Baoqisi, Xiyuan Baoqisi, a very complicated and contradictory yamen. The contradiction lies in that it is the emperor's bedroom and the yamen of the outer court.

This is the old Taoist priest's burning monastery, and now it has been renovated according to the regulations of the Quanchu Guild Hall, and it is very livable.

The palace where the emperor himself lives, but outsiders often come in and out. The Secretary of Baoqi Division, Xu Zhenming, is a foreign minister. He is a foreign minister with a bachelor of agriculture.

If you think this is an opportunity for the emperor to take advantage of, you are very wrong. Baoqisi has two bridges and one palace wall, which are enough to separate the outer yamen from the emperor's private residence.

Apart from losing the dignity of the emperor, there is no safety issue. If there was, the old Taoist would not have lived here for 25 years.

The little emperor is still young, so whose face is lost? It's hard to say. The young emperor was forced to live in Xiyuan. Is it because the little emperor didn't practice benevolence, or was the courtiers too eager to force him?
The gatekeepers are Zhu Yijun's entourage, that is, his twenty sparring partners, all wearing red helmets and guarding the gate.

The courtiers asked the emperor to move to the Yongshou Palace. The Yongshou Palace has just been built and is magnificent. If the Yongshou Palace is not good, they can also live in the Compassionate Palace. After all, the Empress Dowager is under the nose, but the emperor still vetoed them one by one, and ended the competition with one sentence:
What if Yongshou Palace burns again?Lu Wang was burned to death with me when he was young, what should we do?
Emperor Jiajing originally belonged to the Dazong, and only Emperor Longqing had descendants among the eight sons of Jiajing.

None of the civil and military personnel in the Manchu Dynasty answered these two questions, so they could only call Zhang Siwei a big idiot.

The matter of burning the palace became more and more stupid.

According to the consistent experience of history, it is impossible for the emperor to pursue the matter of burning the palace, but now that the emperor is young, he must be investigated.

Zhu Yijun lived in Director Baoqi, and he also read books in Wenchang Pavilion, Xiyuan every day.

The names of his study and Zhang Juzheng's study are the same, which is a political signal, or the emperor should be eliminated, otherwise the emperor's own government will continue to promote the New Deal in the same strain.

"This Qiu Jun is the first Jinshi in Qiongzhou, Hainan. Jingtai ranked first in the five-year Jinshi Examination, because when he was wounded, he ended up as the second best." Zhu Yijun held a volume of "University Yanyi Supplement" and looked at the list of authors.

Qiu Jun, Qiongzhou, Hainan, is a place with a serious lack of educational resources. During the Song Dynasty, it was a place of exile, and Qiu Jun was able to finish first in the general examination under such an educational environment, and then not worry about his fame.

Zhu Yijun took "University Yanyi Supplement 21 Volumes" and read: "Wealth is born in the sky, produced in the earth, and made in people."

"This sentence means that all the wealth in the world comes from the nature that is born and raised. It must pass through people to become wealth. Assets are created by people, not out of thin air."

"Your Majesty is wise." After hearing this, Zhang Hong hurriedly wrote it down. Since His Majesty opened his mouth, he must have read something that deeply touched His Majesty. If you understand it, write it down first.

Zhu Yijun also made an excerpt, and continued: "From the above, Qiu Jun also said: Although all things in the world are born in the world, they must be invested in human power, and then they can be used for their purposes. Their bodies vary in size and thickness, their skills vary in depth, and their prices."

"This sentence means that everything in the world cannot be used without manpower. Only after the process of manpower can it be used. The size and fineness of the products are different, which depends entirely on the depth of the skill. If the skill is deep, the price will be expensive, and if the skill is shallow, the price will be cheap."

"What is this power?"

Zhu Yijun's doubts made Zhang Hong extremely confused. His Majesty should ask Yuanfu such a profound question, not Zhang Hong, the eunuch of Baoqi Division.

Zhang Hong was silent for a long time before saying: "According to what Qiu Jun said, kung fu is human power."

"Zhang Daban, look, your book is not good enough. Qiu Jun mentioned manpower earlier. If Qiu Jun's skill means human labor, then do you still need to use the concept of skill?" Zhu Yijun said in disapproval.

"Then I don't know." Zhang Hong said slightly confused.

What Your Majesty said is very reasonable. What is the relationship between the price of goods and goods?It is already a very bold idea to be able to link the price of commodities with human labor.

At least at the moment, apart from Qiu Jun, Daming's economic philosophy is the theory of supply and demand that the rarest is the most expensive. If the supply is small, the demand is large, and the price will be expensive.

And linking commodity prices with labor, and linking value with labor intensity and time, is Wang Chonggu's high-temperature subsidy for wool-washing coolies, which made Zhang Hong slightly aware.

But as Qiu Jun said, is skill really just labor?
"What exactly is this skill?" Zhu Yijun pondered for a long time, and drew a diagram of Yin and Yang poles. If everything is unresolved, Yin and Yang will be in conflict. Zhu Yijun has formed this kind of path dependence, which is also part of the ancestor's family law. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang has personally annotated Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching".

Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Guanzi said: If there are many things, they are cheap, and if they are few, they are expensive. Mencius said: If things are not uniform, the feelings of things are also."

"I figured it out a bit. This is about the value of exchange. If there is too much, it will be cheap, and if it is too small, it will be expensive. This is the inside story of the different prices of items."

"Qiu Jun attributes the value of objects and commodities to natural endowment and manpower, and man endows natural infinite things with the value of use."

"Therefore, things include two kinds of value, one is exchange value and the other is use value."

"Let's take the woolen materials from the official woolen factory as an example. Worsted wool is [-] bolts a day, and woolen wool is [-] bolts a day. The exchange value of worsted wool is higher than that of rough wool. Rare things are more expensive. In terms of use value, the weight of worsted wool is three times that of woolen wool. Wool is used as clothing material for cold protection. The use value of worsted wool is also higher than that of woolen wool."

"That's why the price of worsted wool is high."

"Skill is not only the strength of human labor and the value of the length of time, it is the value of use, and the exchange value of the relationship between supply and demand when things are scarce."

Zhang Hong was silent for a long time and asked: "Your Majesty, does Qiu Jun really mean that?"

Zhu Yijun immediately said: "Is it important whether he means it? I said he meant it, and he could tell me in a dream, didn't he mean it? I said he meant it, and he meant it. Zhang Daban, what do you mean?"

"I don't mean anything." Zhang Hong chose to admit defeat. It is definitely not a wise choice to quarrel with His Majesty. The great and wise Majesty is very good at reasoning, and he also likes to use power to overwhelm others. You are the emperor, and you mean that.

Zhang Hong carefully wrote down the notes, thought for a moment, and chose to give up.

To do things by His Majesty's side, you need to learn a mentality of giving up and giving up. There are some truths that Your Majesty, Yuan Fu, and Emperor Zhu Zaiyu can understand, but Zhang Hong and Feng Bao really don't understand.

He didn't understand the use of His Majesty's research on this thing at all, and he didn't know what His Majesty's discussion was talking about.

"I'm stupid." Zhang Hong didn't take a detour and chose to play badly.

Zhu Yijun smiled and continued to read Qiu Jun’s University Yanyi Supplement. The reason why Zhu Yijun read this was because Zhang Juzheng recently talked about Guanzi, but Guanzi was already a person in the Spring and Autumn Period, and some of his views and cognitions were no longer in line with the trend of the world. However, it is not that no one studied economic theory in Ming Dynasty. Qiu Jun’s research is very thorough. Human beings have given meaning to all things.

Production is the use value that satisfies specific needs and requires specific production activities.

In the early morning of the next day, before Zhu Yijun met Antonio, he asked Zhang Hong to distribute a copy of yesterday's discussion to the courtiers one by one.

"Zhu Zhongxing from "Labour Illustrations"?" Zhang Juzheng looked at the name and author of the post, and knew that His Majesty had already raised his sledgehammer and was about to smash it down.

And Ge Shouli's proposal to handle the Quanjin Miscellaneous News is to provide His Majesty with firecrackers. His Majesty has learned to produce ammunition by himself!

Quoting the scriptures, Guanzi, Mencius, and Qiu Jun are all cited, and their arguments are excerpted, and then the connotation is analyzed, and then the formula of commodity value is explained. Commodity value = exchange value + use value.The use value is related to labor time, labor intensity and production purpose.

These are the issues discussed in Zhu Yijun's illustrations of labor, and combined with multiple examples, woolen materials, ships, silk, silver, etc. are all the objects of research.

Zhu Yijun also gave himself a pseudonym, Zhu Zhongxing.

"Is the pseudonym Your Majesty too obvious?" Zhang Juzheng had some questions about the pseudonym before he read the content. Since the miscellaneous newspapers wanted to quarrel, the name Your Majesty was not convenient for quarreling.

"Sir, I'm just a child." Zhu Yijun had to remind Zhang Juzheng once again that in his eyes, he was an indescribable monster. In the eyes of the world, the emperor was still a child hiding under the wings of his husband. Even if they exhausted their imagination, they would never think that this pen name and these contents were written by the little emperor.

"That's right." Zhang Juzheng found that he had fallen into his own cognitive trap. He knew the emperor's horror, but even the courtiers who played right every day still didn't have a specific understanding of His Majesty's horror.

The content of the labor map is not long, and the courtiers read it quickly.

Ge Shouli put down the labor map with a solemn expression, looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked solemnly: "Did this all be taught by Yuanfu to His Majesty?"

"Really? No, it seems to be." Zhang Juzheng also felt a kind of confusion from the bottom of his heart. He said every sentence in it. He taught "Guanzi", "Mencius" and "University Yanyibu" from the pile of old papers.

In terms of content, it does not exceed what he taught, but the summary is accurate.

"Yuanfu, amazing!" Qi Jiguang said sincerely as he closed the calligraphy.

Zhang Juzheng shook his head and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

"Since Mr. Yuanfu has such an understanding of things, why doesn't he explain it to me? I'm a Situ of Guochao, and I specialize in finance and economics." After reading it, Wang Guoguang was enlightened, and there was a bit of complaint in his tone. Zhang Juzheng, who had such a deep understanding of things, didn't tell him.

You have figured it out a long time ago, and let me be so confused all the time, are you sorry?
Zhang Juzheng said tentatively: "Da Situ, is there a possibility that I haven't figured out yet, your Majesty thought it out and summed it up?"

Ge Shouli said in admiration: "Mr. Yuanfu really did his best for His Majesty's mighty power."

What Ge Shouli meant was that the emperor is Zhang Juzheng's apprentice, and if there are good things to share with His Majesty, they will be published in His Majesty's name to increase leverage for His Majesty's personal governance. This is true for everything from the Xie Jieyuan, Baoqi Division, contradictions, public and private to the current labor theory.

You Wang Guoguang is an official of the state, and you still need a relationship.

"Your Majesty understands, how dare I steal Heavenly Kungfu?" Zhang Juzheng still shook his head.

Zhu Yijun smiled and asked, "How can I realize myself if my husband doesn't teach me?"

Zhang Juzheng chose to admit defeat, the emperor was already very good at reasoning, and now he directly used the sophistry method, the question of which came first, the chicken or the egg, is not clear at the moment.

Wang Chonggu was the last one to read the labor picture. He stood up abruptly, the correction officer's eyes widened, and he immediately came to Wang Chonggu's side with his hand stretched out. If Wang Chonggu made any further moves, he would be taken down immediately.

Zhao Mengyou couldn't understand why His Majesty wanted to keep Wang Chonggu in the court.

The officials have impeached many times, and His Majesty will go down the donkey as long as he is on the slope. Wang Chonggu, the last remnant of the clan, will have to leave the court if he does not die, but His Majesty has never intended to move Wang Chonggu.

But Zhao Mengyou is extremely afraid of Wang Chonggu, because Wang Chonggu has martial arts in him, he can use big swords, and most of the merchant families have some martial arts, because merchants can't do business if they don't have martial arts.

Therefore, where Wang Chonggu lost his manners, the correcting officer immediately came to him.

Tan Lun also has martial arts skills, but Tan Lun quarreled with others, slapped tables too many times, and even planned to leave in a huff. Zhao Mengyou never stopped Tan Lun.

Very obvious discrimination.

Zhu Yijun waved his hand, and the correction officer took orders to step aside.

"Big Sikou, why are you so shocked?" Zhu Yijun asked curiously.

In fact, Wang Chonggu didn't pay much attention to the action of the correction officer. He bowed his head with the labor map and said: "That's it, it should be like this! Exchange is Yin, use is Yang, and any production is realized around the realization of use value. I have been confused for many years, and suddenly I am enlightened!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

In fact, when Wang Chonggu is practicing the truth, he will also encounter a lot of confusion. In the face of these confusions, it is easy to take various detours. Now this book of labor diagrams has answered many doubts in his heart.

One can imagine Wang Chonggu's excitement.

Wang Chonggu took the diagram of labor and said in horror: "Labor is also divided into two types: yin and yang. One is the physical labor of practice as yang, and the other is the metaphysical labor called Tao as yin. Metaphysical labor seems to be divorced from the reality of practice, but determination is an indispensable part of labor.

"There is no distinction between these two kinds of labor, because metaphysics comes from metaphysics, and metaphysics comes from metaphysics, and they complement each other."

Wang Chonggu was very excited. With this theoretical basis, if the lowly Confucianists talk about him as a minister of prosperity, then Wang Chonggu will have something to say, at least he has a theoretical basis to refute the Ancient Tomb Sect.

"Zhu Zhongxing is not necessarily just me, but he is looking forward to the rulers of the world." Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "Let Zongxian Ge be in charge of publishing."

Zhu Yijun sat upright and said, "Xuan Xiaofulang, envoy Antonio."

Today, I will meet Antonio before the court meeting. Antonio vomited for a day on the hydrofoil sailing boat, and almost threw up his stomach. It took several days to rest before he fully recovered.

Zhu Yijun has met Antonio for the third time.

"Your majesty is so great and so wise that I have come from afar. It is my honor to meet you." Antonio praised Zhu Yijun in an almost exaggerated tone.

"I hope that in the future, when you sit on the seat of the King of Portugal, you will still be so respectful." Zhu Yijun directly ignored Antonio's flattery, and simplified the relationship between everyone as a relationship of mutual use.

Don't look at Antonio's dog-legged appearance now, it's because he wants to buy Daming's ship and needs the emperor's imperial decree.

Antonio, a thief, actually learned to use idioms. Nangcone Luying is a very common idiom, which means that talent cannot be concealed, just like an awl in a bag, it will definitely show its edge.

"Last time you brought a national gift, and I returned it with a double-faced velvet four-fold Ruyi embroidered dragon patch. This time, I will take it back, Feng Daban, the envoy has come from afar, and I will give you the prepared reward." Zhu Yijun looked at Feng Bao and said.

Feng Bao flicked his fly whisk and shouted in a low voice: "Your envoy came from a long way, and a special gift of 100 liang of silver, four pieces of silk, one fine piece, and five bottles of the national cellar. You don't have to say goodbye if you don't want to show your favor."

Antonio opened the watch, his eyes widened, he looked at the hands on it, and said in amazement: "This is, the second hand?"

"Yes, it is inconvenient to count one hundred quarters a day, and it is changed to 96 quarters. Each big hour is eight quarters, each hour is four quarters, one hour is sixty minutes, and one minute is 60 seconds. The timekeeping system was revised by Emperor Zhu Zaiyu. This is the King Zheng watch."

A hundred quarters a day, a quarter a hundred minutes, a minute and a hundred seconds in a hundred decimal system, this unit of seconds is too short to be realized with the current technology, and it cannot be converted into hours and hours. Dividing one hundred by twelve hours and 24 hours is inconvenient, and finally formed a sexagesimal system, where 60 seconds equals one minute, and six ten minutes equals one hour.

The sexagesimal system has existed in the Ming Dynasty since ancient times. The heavenly stems and earthly branches, 60 years are a Jiazi.

"This is very precise." Antonio looked at the egg in his hand, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

The Nuremberg egg only has an hour hand but no minute hand, while the current millimeter watch has three hands for hour, minute, and second.

Zhu Zaiyu is also an archaeological scientific research. After understanding the principle of the water astronomical platform in the Northern Song Dynasty, it is not difficult to understand the functions of various gears. As for excellence, Ming craftsmen have never lacked this.

"You came to Beijing to ask for orders to buy a boat. I have already written the boat certificate and gave it to you." Zhu Yijun didn't waste any time and gave the boat certificate to Antonio directly. This is the deal that Antonio got in exchange for the seeds of various crops.

Antonio bowed again after seeing this, and said sincerely: "Your Majesty's reputation of keeping his promise will be brought back to Taixi by the minister. Your Majesty's generosity and kindness will surely be sung in every corner of the earth."

"Just like God is in the world."

There is no businessman in the world who keeps his promises. Antonio thought that he would have to peel off at least a layer of skin to buy a boat when he went to Beijing this time, but this extremely precious paper came into Antonio's hands so easily.

Antonio could not comprehend the emperor's authority in the empire, a one-size-fits-all authority rivaled only by the coming of the gods.

"I'm very happy that you can come to me. You only bought two boats at a time, and I'm very dissatisfied. Can't you buy two more?" Zhu Yijun put forward his own request. If you bought too little, buy more, which will help promote silk and silver convection.

Daming needs silver, very much.

　Zhu Zhongxing is not only the pen name of the emperor alone, but also the pen name of a group of people who look forward to the revival of Ming Dynasty.Ask for a monthly ticket, woo! ! ! ! ! !
