I'm really not doing business

Chapter 259: The nominal family becomes a real family

Chapter 259: The nominal family becomes a real family
Suicide is a tactful and flexible way of dealing with the situation. Everyone can advance and retreat, so that the conflict will not become overwhelming.

The reason why Zhang Juzheng emphasized this is because he saw His Majesty's sophistication in dealing with problems. In political activities, the most important thing is political responsibility and political ability, so that he can face various challenges in a complex and changing environment. In times of difficulty, stay calm and make quick decisions.

In Zhang Juzheng's view, the young emperor has fully possessed extremely high political responsibility and ability. This is the starting point for his willingness to return to power, but not for returning to power.

Wang Xijue represents the retro style, which is completely different from the force represented by Zhang Siwei.

What Zhang Siwei represents is the local arrogance of the vassal town, which is a common contradiction in the central region. However, Zhang Siwei chose to over-intensify this contradiction, which ultimately attracted a thunderous blow from the imperial power and Zhang Juzheng, who protected the young emperor.

The complex contradiction between the restoration faction represented by Wang Xijue and the reform faction headed by Zhang Juzheng went far beyond the contradiction between the central and local governments that overran the local government, but was a universal contradiction that touched all corners of the Ming Dynasty.

According to the basic thesis of the theory of contradiction proposed by Zhang Juzheng, this society is spiraling upward repeatedly. The unity of knowledge and action and conscience, and the successive explanation of contradictions are the main principles of the theory of contradiction.

With regard to this argument, it directly hits the key point of the core theoretical law of the retro school, which is above the third generation. The retro school believes that the contradictions in the current society are all due to the failure to follow the results of the three generations. Datong.

Therefore, the reform faction is facing an existential crisis for the retro-reform faction.

Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng were a pair of masters and apprentices. In a sense, Zhang Juzheng was Zhu Yijun's father and was responsible for educating the emperor as he grew up. During these six years, Zhang Juzheng witnessed Zhu Yijun's growth with his own eyes, step by step, to where he is today. Today is the day when I am the king and the lord of the country.

After the dinner, Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng did not talk about business first, but about life.

Zhu Yijun's private life is extremely boring, like a machine.

Get up every morning, give Zhu Yijun lessons and review memorials after the court meeting, and go to Peking University Camp to inspect military horses in the afternoon. This may be Zhu Yijun’s happiest time of the day, because in Peking University Camp, he can enjoy freedom and return to Beijing before evening. Bao Qisi, at night, studies agronomy and mathematics.

Zhang Juzheng was much more relaxed. After breakfast, he went to observe filial piety. When observing filial piety, he also read books, annotated, and studied agriculture and arithmetic. After finishing each volume of the Ming Dynasty Canon, Zhang Juzheng would proofread it, and at night he would look up at the stars.

The private life of two people is very boring.

The Thai envoy Legas always felt that the Ming Emperor was like a fanatic or an ascetic. Legas could never understand how the emperor could bear it and never be arrogant and lewd. For a naturally noble man, is extremely rare.

"Detachment, or the separation of self-perception from reality, is largely due to the excessive pursuit of emotional value caused by the extreme abundance of materials." Zhu Yijun talked about his recent insights.

Based on his observation of King Zhu Yili of Lu, he found that the sense of detachment of a naturally noble man was not spontaneous. Behind this phenomenon was the extreme abundance of material.

When people are hungry, they have only one worry, and that is hunger. When people fill their stomachs, they have more worries.

This is also one of the core principles of Luo Bingliang, the commander-in-chief of Nanya Ti.

Zhang Juzheng thought for a moment, looked at the stars in the sky, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty once asked me a question. I remember it deeply. A punch costs ten coins and a person is killed for two taels of silver. Ming Dynasty's powerful and powerful people will alienate themselves. The process of alienation seems to be between me and ordinary people, but in fact it is me and ordinary people. This process of alienation is subtle and long-term, and you don't realize it."

"The common people's disease is that they do too much work and receive too little money, while the powerful right's disease is that they work too little and receive too much money."

"This is a distribution issue, whether it is as large as the country or a country, or as small as a household."

Zhang Juzheng's cultivation in the field of philosophy is extremely advanced. Zhu Yijun can only talk to Zhang Juzheng about many things. Now the only person in the court who can talk about these things is Wang Chonggu.

But Wang Chonggu is a person that Zhu Yijun hates. He knows everything, but he always keeps silent about these deviant things. Wang Chonggu is too good at protecting himself, which is completely different from Zhang Juzheng, who is clumsy in self-cultivation.

What Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng discussed was the process of human alienation, and they were treasonous.

"There are some things that are present when you are born, and if you are born without them, they are not. Under the same starry sky, they both have one nose and two eyes, but the gap is so huge. A lady who has never left the house or stepped out, She is fairer than a girl who faces the loess and has her back turned to the sky." Zhu Yijun leaned on the ergonomic chair donated by the Imperial Hospital and looked at the stars.

What girl doesn't love beauty?But girls who work in the fields will get tanned, their skin will become rough, and their bodies will be deformed due to long-term work. Women in ordinary families have to go to work in the fields on the third day after giving birth.

Many things, like the throne, are there when you are born, but you don't have them if you don't have them.

This is the great treason and injustice, and it is also one of the core resistances of the reform factions in the past. That is, the reform will definitely damage the authority of the emperor. This is inevitable. If you want to change this world where you are born with something, and if you don’t have it, you will not have it. Hereditary disregard The replacement of the imperial power will inevitably be impacted.

Why do you, a ten-year-old child, become the emperor and the master of the empire?
When everyone is born, they have the same sex, and they are all the same children waiting to be fed. However, as time goes by, the abundance of material things directly affects the growth of the children, and eventually they become two completely different looks. people in the world.

Zhu Yijun shook his sleeves, pulled out an article and handed it over, asking his husband to read it.

After Zhang Juzheng finished reading this essay, he looked at His Majesty with furrowed brows and asked in confusion: "May I ask Your Majesty, where is this Zhou Shuren pen Zheng?"

"This article comes from the public, I don't know who it is." The article Zhu Yijun took out was called Hometown. There was a young man named Runtu in it, and there was also an illustration of a young man in Chayun.

The outline of the content is exactly the same as that of Lu Xun's hometown, but it has been slightly polished and modified.

Just like when we were young, we used steel forks to catch melon-stealing harpies together under the bright moonlight. When we grow up, our situation is completely different.

From the lively, kind, and sincere young Runtu to the poor, numb, humble, and dull middle-aged Runtu, it is the process of human alienation. In this process, material is the biggest variable.

Wang Shizhen and Zhang Juzheng were in the same class. Wang Shizhen belonged to a wealthy family and was from a hairpin family. Therefore, Wang Shizhen was full of jealousy, prejudice and contempt for Zhang Juzheng. Why should you, Zhang Juzheng, who has not washed off the mud on his legs, stand on top of everyone? Domineering and blessing.

"Looking at the artistic conception of his article, it seems to be the same as Hai Zongxian's. Probably only Hai Zongxian can write such articles, but it is not written by Hai Zongxian." Zhang Juzheng finished reading this article "Hometown". At first glance, He thought it was written by Hai Rui under the name Zhou Shuren, but after reading it, he was convinced that it was not.

"Mr. Hai?" Zhu Yijun smiled. Hai Rui and Lu Xun do look alike.

Hai Rui is a person who can't hide things in his heart. He is an upright person. He is very similar to Lu Xun. They are both strong-minded and upright. No part of his body is soft. However, Hai Rui's writing style is completely different from Lu Xun's. .

Hai Rui's writing style is never metaphorical, but straightforward. If you want to say that there is something wrong with your emperor, you will never hang up your waistcoat, but just carry the coffin, and then criticize Jiajing, Jiajing, and everyone is clean.

Hai Rui charged against the supreme emperor of the Ming Dynasty like this. The final result was that after Master Dao left, he got a high promotion, because Hai Rui was right. The 25 years after Master Dao were the 25 years of practicing Taoism, and they were also the 25 years of shame. Master Dao He is also aware of his own shame.

If Hai Rui hadn't been right in scolding him, Master Dao would have chopped Hai Rui down long ago.

However, Zhou Shuren changed countless vests throughout his life, going around in circles for fear of being caught.

No matter how bad the Ming Dynasty was, it could still allow Hai Rui to live under his real name. Such a feudal monarchy was the Ming Dynasty.

"Mr. Hai." Zhang Juzheng nodded and showed a smile. Zhu Yijun laughed, and soon he leaned forward and backward with laughter. Zhang Juzheng was also smiling. The cultivation of a scholar did not allow him to be discourteous in front of His Majesty. His laughter Wandering on the mountain road, endless.

Feng Bao and Zhang Hong really looked at each other. What is the point of laughter in these three words Mr. Hai? !
Of course, Feng Bao and Zhang Hong could understand that the emperor's smile was genuinely happy, it was an extremely natural and relaxed smile, this was the emperor's rare smile without disguise, even the accompanying Wang Yaozhuo, Only seen that smile a few times.

Because Hai Rui was alive and could return to the dynasty, this was a happy thing in itself, and it represented the health of the Ming dynasty system.

Zhu Yijun and Zhang Juzheng will take off their disguise when chatting. In the minds of most people in Ming Dynasty, if Zhang Juzheng can shock the Lord, the relationship between the emperor and his officials must be extremely tense, but Feng Bao and Zhang Hong know very well that the relationship between the two There are no fundamental differences or conflicts of interest.

Zhu Yijun restrained his smile, and said, "The army will march to the Great Ningwei next month. The battle for the whole Ningwei is already underway, and the preparations are complete. Do you have anything to say, sir?"

"No." Zhang Juzheng shook his head and let go. The emperor barged in and asked. He also said the same thing and had nothing to explain.

The most basic political quality is to not be in one's position and not to seek government. Training the young emperor to become the master of the country is Zhang Juzheng's fundamental plan for the first five years of his country.

Zhu Yijun continued to ask: "When Antonio hires the Ming Dynasty naval battalion, he will probably station troops in Nanyang first. Our Ming Dynasty is so poor that we have to work as thugs for the Westerners. Is there anything you want to explain, sir?"

"Antonio will not lose, but Ming Dynasty will definitely make a profit." Zhang Juzheng had nothing to explain and supported His Majesty's decision.

The plan of this mercenary camp is just to find out the situation of the captives and train troops. As Felipe II said, peace is just a fig leaf without absolute advantage. Felipe II knows that, and the emperor knows , Zhang Juzheng also understands it very well.

Based on the system design of the imperial system, resorting to force to promote military power is the basic mission and law of the empire.

National affairs, in the Rong in the sacrifice.

"There is a demon book case in Nan Ya." Zhu Yijun talked about the Nan Ya demon book, which was the "Impeachment of Zhang Juzheng Shu" written under the name of Hai Rui. This trend caused public opinion that Nan Ya Tishuai was ransacking homes everywhere to fulfill the emperor's will. Promise, Mr. Yan’s fault will be severed.

Zhu Yijun asked: "Sir, do you have anything else to explain?"

"No." Zhang Juzheng shook his head again. The emperor's decision was to show his determination to continue the New Deal. He must kill people to raise the flag. Death is inevitable. The first bird will be shot. This has been the case since ancient times.

If Zhang Juzheng was in power, he would definitely put all the blame on Wu Shiqi, the minister, and deal with the matter peacefully. However, His Majesty has His Majesty's method of handling it, and Zhang Juzheng really does not intend to interfere.

Zhu Yijun was extremely helpless. He really gave Zhang Juzheng a life of retirement, which really made the emperor a little angry. He continued to ask: "This year, the sea transportation of grain has increased to 300 million shi, and the canal transportation has been reduced from four months to one month. Mr. Is there anything you want to explain?" "No...there is!" Zhang Juzheng subconsciously refused, then remembered that there was really something that needed to be said.

"Your Majesty, I discovered something interesting." Zhang Juzheng rolled up his sleeves, walked into Wenchang Pavilion, then took out some items and put them on the table.

Zhang Juzheng first took out a carved eagle, the size of a palm, then picked up a stick with a tray, placed it on the table, and placed the eagle on the stick. A magical scene appeared. This palm-sized eagle , with only an eagle beak supporting it, it was balanced steadily.

Zhu Yijun knew what it was, a toy called a balanced eagle in later generations.

The reason why the eagle can hover stably on the wooden stick is because the actual center of gravity of the whole bird is at the tip of the beak.

"This is a wonderful skill in the hands of Baiyi. It is not a rare thing. There is a point that does not exist in all things, which is the center of gravity of the object. You only need to find this center of gravity, and you can make all things without external interference. Get a balance." Zhang Juzheng talked about the concept of the center of gravity, a point that does not exist but exists is the center of gravity.

"I understand." Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Hong to pick up a wooden stick. He tried several times and found the center of gravity. The wooden stick stopped steadily in his hand. When the wind blew, the wooden stick fell. Zhang Juzheng said very Clearly, there is no external interference, and obviously the wind is an external force.

Zhang Juzheng took out a very interesting item. This thing is very common. Zhu Yixuan liked to play with it very much in the past two years, which is a tumbler.

"In order to prevent the grain ships from sinking, we used grain boxes. Granular goods can be loaded in grain boxes, which are durable." Zhang Juzheng talked about the grain boxes he had built before and continued: "Your Majesty, the grain boxes Ships usually have ballast stones to move the center of gravity downward, which is beneficial to the stability of the ship."

Zhang Juzheng took out a model of a ship, threw it into the water, fiddled with the mast lightly, and the ship began to shake. He picked up two long iron rods, put them into the cabin, fiddled with the mast again, and the ship shook. The magnitude becomes smaller.

"Moving the center of gravity downward can effectively prevent the ship from bumping and capsizing." Zhang Juzheng has demonstrated the importance of ballast stones through practice, and then he took out a new model. The bottom part of this model is made of iron, and the upper part is made of iron. It is made of wood and is spliced ​​together.

"This all-wood boat and this half-steel and half-wood boat are the same in weight, but their stability in the water is completely different." Zhang Juzheng introduced in detail the differences between steel-wood spliced ​​boats and wooden boats. The designs were different, and they were placed in water to begin to demonstrate their stability.

"Adding a lead block at the bottom can save space and increase stability." Zhang Juzheng proposed a new design for stable shipping ships.

Lead bottom ballast design.

"When the volume of all things is the same, the weight is different. Taking water as the standard, lead is 11.4 times heavier than water at the same volume, and the specific gravity of stone is generally between 2.8 and 3." Zhang Juzheng talked about his recent work. The thing is, determine the proportion.

Using water as a reference object, the ratio of the weight of everything to the weight of water under the same volume. The reason why water is used as the ratio is entirely due to sea transportation. Emperor Zhu Zaiyu discovered that the buoyancy of objects is mainly related to displacement.

All research is moving forward in an orderly manner under the leadership of the Gewuyuan. Zhang Juzheng believes that the Royal Gewuyuan will become the most shining star in the land of Ming Dynasty.

"Sir, this is planning to pursue the principle of infinity. Is it impossible to be a Huawaishan person?" Zhu Yijun said helplessly.

Shanren are talented people who are not in the court. They travel around, and they are roughly the same as the travelers in the Taixi Grand Tour. The biggest problem with Shanren is that they are not used by the court. As an outsider, Zhu Yijun really lost his prime minister.

"After Ding You, I will be loyal to His Majesty again." Zhang Juzheng answered this question head-on. He would only serve as a mountain man for 27 months. After that, he would continue to serve the emperor. This was the original agreement. Of course, both the emperor and Zhang Juzheng had the power. Unilateral breach of contract.

Zhang Juzheng hesitated to speak, sat under the stars, hesitated again and again, and finally said: "Your Majesty, I have seen a strange phenomenon recently."

"Yongding Official Factory is not far from here. The official factory is fine, but this private workshop is always a little strange. Originally, the owner, shopkeeper, and clerk were all employed. However, these private workshops have begun to change recently. The owner is not The boss is the father, the shopkeeper is not the shopkeeper, but his biological son, and the assistant is not the assistant, but the adopted son."

"It's like parents giving birth to a son, and the son needs to be filial. These adopted sons work in the workshop, and are given a bowl of rice as compensation for their labor. They must also be grateful."

"This kind of wind seems to have come from the powerful and powerful people who adopted adopted sons. The Ming Dynasty banned slaves. In order to avoid being punished by the court, they replaced them with adopted sons and daughters. They were called family members but were actually slaves. This bad custom spread to the people. In the workshop."

Zhu Yijun listened for a long time and said doubtfully: "Father's Minfang?"

"Your Majesty's summary is concise and clear!" Zhang Juzheng said immediately. The emperor's summary was too concise. He said everything he wanted to say. He shook his head and said: "It is obviously a production relationship, but it has turned into a family relationship. In the name of In the name of family relations, their income from labor is stripped, this is the phenomenon that Chen Ding saw because he was worried about unemployment."

"Obviously, the value of the craftsmen's labor has been stripped away."

Zhang Juzheng explained the phenomenon he saw in detail. A 15-year-old child entered a workshop as an apprentice. He first worshiped his employer as his father, and then his master. He had to offer a cup of tea every morning and kowtow every night. It is etiquette to wake up in the morning and wake up in the dusk. If you do something wrong, you will be punched and kicked.

There was an apprentice in a workshop who broke a dye vat. The vat cost 120 taels of silver and the dye cost [-] taels of silver. After being beaten and kicked, he committed suicide that night.

The case was sent to the county hall, but nothing happened. Because he was the adopted son, he was given two coins and buried hastily.

All the profits created by the apprentice were eaten up by the boss and the shopkeeper. The boss beat and scolded the apprentice. Zhang Juzheng saw a boss who stood in two rows early in the morning and gave one person two slaps, and then everyone Kneel down and shout: Thank you boss for the meal.

"The reason why we pretend to be father and son is to make it easier for him to get married and create a culture where people are rewarded for being able to work. This kind of culture has become popular." Zhang Juzheng said very worriedly: "As for the intervention of the imperial court, these bosses also have to deal with it directly. Release these apprentices, and the apprentices will have nothing to do, so they will naturally gather together and cause chaos."

If you don't care about this private workshop, he will create a father-like private workshop for you. If you take charge of this private workshop, they will immediately lay off employees and increase efficiency, making people unemployed and unsustainable. If you don't care about it, there will be chaos. If you take care of it, they will die. It's very similar to officialdom.

Zhu Yijun exhaled and said, "Is there anywhere in the world that doesn't have a place to eat?"

"I plan to build a city in Rehe. This place extends in all directions. If it is connected with Quanningwei and Daningwei and becomes a horn of each other, it can cut off the connection between Beilu and Dongyi Jurchen."

"Rehe needs people to build a city, Daningwei needs people to build roads, Liaodong needs people to cultivate fields, government factories also need people, everywhere needs people, this place can't do it, so just change it to another place. There is always something to eat place!"

"What is your majesty going to do?" Zhang Juzheng asked with a smile on his face.

Zhu Yijun thought over and over again and said: "First of all, we must start with the Ming Dynasty Hui Dian. Father is father, and children are children. This kind of adopted son and adopted daughter will no longer be recognized at the legal level as long as there is a biological son. A father is not a father, and a son is not a son. , what is this?"

"What if it is entrusted? My parents have left, I am unable to make a living, and I can only entrust others to do it. How should I deal with it?" Zhang Juzheng asked immediately. He was reminding His Majesty that this method is good and good, but it is also good, and some Treat the symptoms but not the root cause.

"What do you think, sir?" Zhu Yijun frowned and thought about it. It is true that it is very difficult to implement the decree. Defection is very common these days. There are certain social reasons for the birth of adopted sons and daughters.

"Your Majesty, please take some time to think." Zhang Juzheng just didn't say what he had in mind and let the emperor figure it out on his own. The care and blessing of the adults will eventually come to an end, and the emperor must learn to face these ups and downs on his own and thrive.

Zhu Yijun thought for a moment, then his eyes lit up and said: "Then don't prohibit adopted sons and adopted daughters, but allow adopted sons and adopted daughters to inherit the family business. In this way, it will not be so unscrupulous to force the rich and powerful to recognize adopted sons and adopted daughters." ."

"On the surface, their adopted son and daughter are family members, but in terms of benefits, they become real family members."

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng said very sincerely. This kind of trick is actually a bad trick used in history. For example, the famous push-up order in the Western Han Dynasty has this core logic. Only by adding profit distribution can we become a real family.

The powerful right-wingers could take as much money as they wanted, and the imperial court supported the adopted sons who complained about the injustice and divided the family property.

Just because it's worn out doesn't mean it's not useful.

"Well, this is not enough." Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and said very clearly: "In this handicraft factory, the craftsmen face powerful right-wingers, but they still lack a kind of power, the power to confront the factory owner, which makes the factory owner tremble. the power of."

"It's a big deal. We should organize the craftsmen and negotiate with the owner."

The big boss is the boss among the craftsmen. This big boss is almost the same as the big boss in the village.

Zhang Juzheng immediately said: "The powerful rightists bought a lot of people, and what should I do if the big heads colluded with the powerful rightists? Isn't this big leader in name only? Just like the grain chief was established in the Hongwu period, and then the grain chief was established. The chief and the gentry team up to bully the people, and the people are complaining and there is nothing they can do."

Zhu Yijun fell silent. It was easy to say, but too difficult to do. Zhang Juzheng asked questions one after another, which made Zhu Yijun ponder.

Zhu Yijun thought for a moment and said: "There should be a place for the craftsmen to cry out their grievances. This big leader needs to be available to both the people and the court. This is bottom-up and top-down. The Taxation Institute can only For tax purposes, we need to set up another one.”

"It's hard, but you have to do it."

"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said. Your Majesty is finally able to handle state affairs. He is fully capable, responsible and capable. Even these system designs still have many shortcomings, but they all need to be learned through practice and then into practice. go.

The night conversation between Zhang Juzheng and Zhu Yijun mainly focused on the issues that Zhang Juzheng has been thinking about, distribution, and the construction of a distribution system at the national and dynasty level. Today is just the beginning. Zhang Juzheng will use Ding You's time to perfect his ideas.

Zhu Yijun's stay at Yicheng Bo's Mansion was entirely a spur-of-the-moment decision. After he fell asleep peacefully, he was suddenly awakened by the noise.

"The water has escaped, the water has escaped!" Waves of shouts came from outside, and the sounds of footsteps, fire extinguishing, firecrackers, and the clash of gold and metal were all heard.

"Your Majesty, there is an assassination attempt!" Zhang Hong rushed in immediately. There were red-robed eunuchs nearby, and red-helmeted guards outside, led by Zhu Yijun's sparring partners Zhao Zhenyuan and Luo Sigong.

Zhu Yijun stood up and said, "Bring me my armor! I want to see who wants my life."

During the process of piercing the armor, Zhu Yijun had been thinking about a question. Is the main target of this assassination really the emperor?
 Ask for a monthly ticket, woohoo! ! ! ! ! ! !
