The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 434 The Pie I Offered Is Too Big
The successful holding of the Beiping Mid-Autumn Festival is of great significance.

The officials of the various provinces were so shocked by the facts before them that they could not speak. Even Yang Yong did not say a word after he returned.

In the residence provided by the Changshi Mansion for the officials, the officials couldn't help being amazed, and some people looked downcast like Yang Yong.

Jiang Yanying, the chief secretary of Henan Province, participated in politics from the left. He and Yang Yong were classmates of the Imperial College. The identity behind it is self-evident.

There are chandeliers made of kerosene hanging from the roof, and smooth floor tiles are laid on the floor.

The glass windows are lined with bright red curtains, and the courtyard on the window sill is filled with large vats filled with water.

There are dried lotus leaves in the big vat, and there are two croaks of frogs from time to time.

"It's just that this house is so extravagant, I don't know how much people have used it." Yang Yong was not in the mood to receive his friends, and murmured stubbornly.

"Ugh."

Jiang Yanying was not angry because of the other party's contempt, and also sat silently on the cushioned chair.

Brand new tabletop, exquisite tea set.

"This is Jingdezhen porcelain." Jiang Yanying recognized it at a glance, played with it for a while, and suddenly laughed.

"what's so funny?"

Yang Yong looked at Jiang Yanying unhappily.

During the day, he also publicly said that the people's support in Peiping was unreliable, but in the afternoon, the reality denied his statement.

No one can turn a blind eye to the loud voice of the 20 people.

"I didn't laugh at you." Jiang Yanying shook her head. "I see that in the yamen of Beiping, there are often slogans advocating saving, but everything looks extravagant."

"Yes, it won't last long if it goes on like this." Yang Yong's mood improved a bit, and he found another shortcoming in Peiping.

Jiang Yanying glanced at her stunned classmate.

"We can no longer look at the changes in Beiping superficially from the original perspective. This is a bit like what the newspaper said about expanding domestic demand."

Without waiting for Yang Yong to refute, Jiang Yanying said directly: "After I return, I will support the development of the Peking model in Henan."

"You want to betray the emperor's grandson?"

Yang Yong showed contempt in his eyes, and scolded: "I didn't expect you to be a fool."

"Do not."

"I am for the people."

Jiang Yanying said with a smile: "There are many good articles in the newspapers in Peking, among them there is an article called the right of the king, which is very well said."

"During the day, you have also heard the voices of the people. Isn't it the right of the king to be granted by heaven? What the people want is what we should do."

"What great truths can the common people understand?"

"Short-sighted, ignorant of righteousness, and unbearably vulgar. If the officials really let go and act according to the wishes of the people, things will only go in a bad direction, and eventually Ming will fall into chaos."

Jiang Yanying understood what Yang Yong meant, but he was more willing to believe what the newspaper said.

Divine right of kings and divine right of kings.

Although there is only one word difference, the meaning is very different.

The divine right of kings in the West has practical explanations and is authorized by God.

In the east, the power of kings is granted by heaven. There are different opinions on what this sky is, because things that cannot be said are very abstract.

From the rationality of Xia, Shang and Zhou's acting on behalf of the sky, to Qin Shihuang's being ordered by the sky.

Countless people began to explain this day.

The most famous one is of course Confucius and Mencius.

Mencius: Heaven sees itself and the people see it, and heaven listens to the people itself.Interpret the abstract will of God as the concrete will of the people.

Then he said: the people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least.

This is of course not what the rulers want to see.

Zhu Yuanzhang was more disgusted.

He even wanted to abolish Mencius's sub-sage status, but was opposed by the students, and ultimately failed to achieve this goal, but Zhu Yuanzhang also deleted the thought in Mencius's book that the people are the most important, the society is second, and the king is the least.

Daming was a feudal society, not a feudal slave society.

The difference is that when Zhu Yuanzhang died, his deleted "Mencius Jiewen" disappeared, and there was no splash.

So much so that it developed to the Wanli period, and the literati had already put forward the advanced thought of being alone.

In the Qing Dynasty, the nature of monarchy has undergone fundamental changes.

It is shameful to be a minister, and an honor to be a slave.

Senior officials are not ministers, but servants of the emperor.

Those officials who feel ashamed of the title of slave cannot accept this concept and refuse to join the flag, so it is difficult for them to reach high-level positions.

High-level officials are slaves, and middle and lower-level officials have to cling to the slaves to get promoted.

And those who want to survive can only accept shaving and changing clothes. Those who survive, no matter how energetic they are, will lose their self-confidence, gradually develop mental illness, and become obedient and numb from generation to generation.

Even if you only look at the Ming history compiled by the Qing Dynasty, you can see that the social atmosphere of the Ming Dynasty and the Qing Dynasty are completely different.

Not to mention the social records and cultural atmosphere of the Ming and Qing dynasties written by Westerners at the same time, which have more clear descriptions and evaluations.

Therefore, the Qing Dynasty truly achieved the idea that the people are the most important, the country is second, and the monarch is the least, and it has completely disappeared for hundreds of years.

Call it the braid spirit.

The legacy of the braid spirit is so deep that it still exists today.

It is the beginning of Ming Dynasty.

After 30 years of restoring Chinese civilization, people's hearts and spirits have been greatly improved.

Successive external victories are the period when popular support is rising.

This also led to the article on the heavenly grant of the monarchy in Beiping, which won the approval of many literati. Now Jiang Yanying, he is very supportive of the ideological theory of the heavenly grant of the king's power written in the Peking newspaper.

"Differences do not conspire with each other, please."

Yang Yong issued an order to expel the guests.

Knowing that she and her friend had broken up, Jiang Yanying got up and hesitated for a while, finally just sighed, and then stepped out of the room.

In Beiping, the city that never sleeps, the various splendors under the night sky make many officials sleepless at night.

Day two.

Zhu Gaochi summoned these officials invited from all over the world in Shizifu.

Many people also had close contact with Yan Shizi for the first time.

People's eyes are full of complexity.

Yan Shizi never talked about the rules, and even said in public that he brought down the provinces, and he brought down the world.

This is the grandson of the emperor who turned the table.

Jiang Yanying looked at Zhu Gaochi curiously.

According to this person's words, he ruled the world, and the population under his rule is as high as nearly 800 million.

Although effective rule has not yet been carried out, the court seems to have no movement to regain lost ground.

It seems a bit intriguing. Whether it is the world that was conquered or the world that was inherited, there is a big difference in the way it is said.

"I heard some remarks." Zhu Gaochi said bluntly.

"Some people think that being rich alone is not enough, you need to have the support of the people, and question whether the support of the people in Peiping is usable."

Many people quietly looked at Yang Yong.

Yang Yong's expression didn't change.

He dared to say that in public, and he also guessed that someone would inform Shizi Yan, but he was not afraid.

When Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to dismantle Mencius' status, there were remonstrances from scholars who dared not be afraid of death, which led Zhu Yuanzhang to give up this idea.

Yang Yong is not afraid of death, so there is no surprise.

This is a different manifestation of healthy personality and distorted personality.

People with sound personalities dare to stand up in the face of injustice, are not afraid of revenge and suppression, and have a fearless spirit of fighting for their own rights and interests.

People with distorted personalities can only curse inwardly in the face of bullying, and use the mental victory method, but in reality they dare not have the slightest resistance and allow the bully to insult them.

Zhu Gaochi said that he rebelled against the superior. Although he gained a lot of convenience, he was also disapproved by many officials, and Yang Yong was one of them.

"I support it." Zhu Gaochi said with a smile.

Yang Yong was startled.

He was ready to be held accountable by Yan Shizi, but he didn't expect Yan Shizi to say that.

Many people were curiously waiting for Zhu Gaochi's next words.

"Since I founded China Heavy Industries, I have proposed that while developing material civilization, the construction of spiritual civilization is also crucial."

"The people-oriented policy of developing industry is not only an important means to promote the construction of spiritual civilization, but also a necessary strategy to expand domestic demand. Many things are complementary and even indispensable."

Zhu Gaochi said confidently: "I believe you have already seen the popular support of Peking. The achievements of Peking are even more visible to the naked eye."

Many officials were silent.

Liu Da suddenly said: "The model of Peiping, foreign officials believe that it should be promoted, and it will be of great benefit to the common people."

Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but sigh.

This is the arrogance of officials in the Ming Dynasty.

Even if he recognized the Beiping model, he was unwilling to change his words and insisted on calling himself a foreign official to distinguish vassals.

Liu Da's current attitude is very clear.

What he supports is the Beiping model, rather than allegiance to the feudal lord. He is still a Taoist official of the Ming Dynasty, and there is an essential difference between the two.

Jin Zhong and others are vassals, who are loyal to the vassal king.

Zhu Gaochi didn't care too much.

He doesn't have so many qualified officials in his hands to use. Letting these officials who support the Beiping model in the local area is also a disguised form to increase their own strength, as long as the barrel of the gun is firmly in their hands.

"Since everyone believes that it is beneficial to the people, I decided to form a cabinet for the smooth implementation of the Peking model in various places."

Zhu Gaochi dropped the "bomb".

Everyone looked at Yan Shizi in disbelief, and many people showed excitement in their eyes, wanting to know whether it was the cabinet they had guessed in their hearts.

Looking at the Ming Dynasty, it is a history of the struggle between scholars and imperial power.

Unlike many people who blame scholars for their problems, Zhu Gaochi also believes that there are problems with scholars, but the problems of the times cannot be ignored.

When there is no breakthrough in productivity, looking at history, the Little Ice Age is without exception the period of subjugation of the unified dynasty.

And the scholars who came out of competition were better able to govern the country than the hereditary emperor.

If Zhu Gaochi was given a choice, between the emperor and the scholar, Zhu Gaochi would choose the scholar, which is also a historical necessity.

The efforts to turn the tide in the early Ming Dynasty and the reform and revitalization in the late Ming Dynasty were all led by civil servants.

On the contrary, the old Zhu's family killed all the heroes.

Including Chongzhen.

When you use others, you release them, and when you don't use them, you put them in prison.

cabinet.

Zhu Gaochi decided to throw it out in advance.

"Led by the Changshi Mansion, select and select outstanding officials to form a cabinet of the Prince's Mansion, who will be fully responsible for the promotion of the Beiping Model in eleven provinces and one region."

The officials were in an uproar.

Yang Yong was also dumbfounded.

Although he kept trying to refuse in his heart, but Shizi Yan gave too much.

Which scholar can resist such a temptation.
