The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 479 The Personality Charm of the Emperor’s Grandson
Beijing.

Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Gaochi is reading.

What I read was not the Four Books and Five Classics, but memorials.

Among the memorials approved by Zhu Yuanzhang, the memorials approved by Zhu Biao, and the memorials approved by Zhu Di in the past two years, Zhu Gaochi was most surprised by Zhu Biao's memorials.

Hongwu ten years.

When Zhu Biao was 22 years old, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao to supervise the country.

This is a rare thing in all dynasties.

There has never been an emperor who would cultivate and delegate power to a prince in this way. Zhu Yuanzhang is the only one.

Zhu Biao supervised the country for 15 years.

What does this mean?
All the civil and military officials in the hall were Zhu Biao's ministers.

The late years of Kangxi's reign in the Qing Dynasty.

Because the eighth son had a good reputation in the court, not only was he scolded, but he was also disqualified from inheriting the throne.

Between the two approaches, it’s clear who has a broad mind.

In terms of educating and nurturing his son, Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely not comparable to Kangxi.

For his sons who did well, Zhu Yuanzhang would praise him, and for his sons who did not do well, Zhu Yuanzhang would criticize and punish his sons, and he would never hide it from the world and record it in actual records.

And Kangxi had so many sons.

But there is no record of any bad things among the people. Maybe Kangxi's sons loved the people as sons.

Zhu Gaochi has been reading books for more than ten years.

Living in an era of information explosion, he was not interested in the Four Books and Five Classics.

It's not that these books are useless in this era, but that Zhu Gaochi has something better.

Reading the memorial is different again.

Through these approved memorials, Zhu Gaochi can clearly see the different ways of doing things among Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao and Zhu Di.

Zhu Yuanzhang is fine, Zhu Biaoquan is Zhu Dishen.

Zhu Yuanzhang's replies to the memorials often consisted of long speeches, breaking the truth into pieces and wishing to pour it directly into the heads of officials.

Simultaneously.

After reading these memorials, Zhu Gaochi had a clearer understanding of the operation and structure of the imperial court, as well as the interactions between the imperial court and local governments.

Wenhua Hall is very quiet.

No one bothered the emperor's grandson.

An official holding a book asked outside the Wenhua Palace, "How is the Emperor's grandson?"

"The emperor's grandson is studying hard."

The official nodded and walked inside.

"His Royal Highness."

"Mr. Huang."

Zhu Gaochi raised his head to see clearly who was coming, and quickly asked someone to give him a seat.

The person coming is Huang Huai.

The future chief minister of the Yongle Dynasty's cabinet is now the scholar in the east room of Wenhua Palace. It seems that Huang Huai is on duty in Wenhua Palace today.

Huang Huai was very calm.

soon.

The Wenhua Hall was quiet again, with Huang Huai reading and Zhu Gaochi reading memorials, but they did not disturb each other.

On the contrary, Zhu Gaochi couldn't sit still and asked curiously.

"Other gentlemen like to teach me principles, but Mr. Huang is different. If I don't ask, Mr. Huang won't speak."

Huanghuai face does not change color.

He still looked calm, as if he didn't care.

"I am not talented enough to teach His Highness the Emperor Grandson."

Zhu Gaochi was a little suspicious and couldn't help asking: "Is Mr. Huang dissatisfied with me?"

Although Zhu Yunwen went to Guangdong, it does not mean that people can change their minds.

Many officials have resigned, and among the officials who have remained, there must be many people who are unhappy with him.

But Zhu Gaochi was a little curious.

This person will be the chief minister of Zhu Di's cabinet in the future, so he is not someone to be rejected.

Huang Huai finally smiled.

"His Royal Highness the Emperor Grandson has misunderstood."

"I admire the talent of the emperor's grandson very much. How can I be dissatisfied? It's true that I have understood the Peiping model and don't know how to teach His Highness the grandson."

"My talents are far inferior, so I dare not teach His Highness the Emperor Taisun rashly."

Zhu Gaochi was surprised by Huang Huai's attitude.

This was the first official to recognize Peiping's model in front of him since he went south to the capital.

"Do you think my reforms are right?"

"Yes."

"Hahaha." Zhu Gaochi laughed happily.

He wanted to reform the Ming Dynasty, not tear it down and start over.

Reinvent the wheel.

The price is too high. His strength, situation, and even the limitations of the times are not enough, and he does not have the matching organization and talents. All he can really do is win over more people.

Huang Huai can support him, which is a good start.

"Are there many officials like Mr. Huang who recognize the Peking model in the capital?"

Huang Huai shook his head.

He gave Zhu Gaochi a disappointing answer.

"Although Eli won over many people through the reforms carried out by His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince, it also harmed the interests of too many people."

"The generals of the guards in Peking lost their hereditary interests, the officials in Peiping lost many rights, the scholars in Peiping even lost their preferential treatment, and there are countless other things."

"People's hearts are hard to change. Based on the Peking model, I think the south can be called the farming and reading model. Farming and reading will last for a long time, and poetry and books will last for a long time. This is the concept of most people."

Zhu Gaochi was not disappointed.

After all, it is a question of profit.

In the process of making the cake bigger, who will benefit?

The landlord class will not resist the increase in its own interests, but when the overall interests increase and more people gain more benefits, they will suffer.

It's like all future generations will be given money.

The interests of the large households were harmed, and even large households were paid out. The reason is that simple.

This is also one of the reasons for Li Zicheng's failure.

According to later textbooks.

Due to the limitations of the peasant class and the times, the peasant class cannot become the absolute force leading to victory.As for the development of Zhu Yuanzhang's base area in the Jinling rear area, he had already separated himself from the peasant class and formed an effective political system.

So when Li Zicheng needed supplies, he chose to suppress the big households and let the common people go. Naturally, he encountered the greatest resistance.

On the contrary, it was the rulers of the Qing Dynasty who co-opted big families and exploited the people. In addition to other reasons, such as Li Zicheng in the north, the Ming Dynasty's organizations had died out.

Most of the generals and officials have become civil and military officials of Dashun, and no longer have the orthodoxy of loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

But Dashun was defeated again, and other factors achieved the conditions for the later golden whale to swallow up the north.

In fact, Zhu Gaochi knew how to win the support of the big families in the south.

That is to choose the same choice as the Qing Dynasty.

To win over big businessmen, regardless of the interests of the common people.

Then the big players will certainly not oppose him.

Food points cancelled.

The Workers' and Civilian Union Ministry was cancelled.

The large well system was abolished.

Various people-centered systems have been abolished.

The common people's profit share is not as good as that of the big households. In short, the upward channel is still controlled by the big households.

These are the simplest paths.

This is the case with the development of industrialization in the West.

The workers lived miserable lives.

Landowners, degenerated aristocrats, and capitalists were all mouthful. Finally, after hundreds of years of struggle and a major breakthrough in productivity, the miserable era of the workers was brought to an end.

But what's the point?

Zhu Gaochi's development of an industrialized society in the Ming Dynasty made no sense at all.

Without adopting a social resource allocation model, he would not have to expend all his efforts to promote the industrial revolution in the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty is the most powerful country in today's era.

It is only necessary to encourage merchants to go overseas and guarantee their overseas rights, and the scholars of Ming Dynasty did not exclude exchanges with the outside world.

He just had to facilitate the Great Exploration.

Huang Huai looked at the emperor's grandson quietly.

Everyone in the capital was curious about this famous grandson of the emperor.

Maybe the emperor's grandson himself didn't know that many people inside and outside the capital were discussing him.

Some people even say that if it were not for the emperor's grandson, King Yan would not be able to enter the capital. If King Yan had not entered the capital, there would be no matter that Zhu Yunwen was changed to the king of Yue.

Outside the Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his hand to stop the eunuchs from communicating. He heard the conversation inside and wanted to hear Zhu Gaochi's answer.

"Do not."

Zhu Gaochi suddenly laughed.

Not only Huang Huai was surprised, but Zhu Yuanzhang outside the door was also baffled.

"I think there are many people like Mr. Huang, but more people have not yet understood the principles of the Peking Model."

Zhu Gaochi firmly believed.

In the darkest era, scholars fought for the dawn of light for the land of China.

Being a reader is not a hindrance to productivity.

in contrast.

Scholars are always the foundation for the development of civilization.

Huang Huai looked at the confident emperor's grandson and felt a little moved in his heart. Only such an emperor's grandson is the key to the development of the Beiping model to this day.

Under the influence of Zhu Gaochi, Huang Huai couldn't help but smile.

Although he didn't know what His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun would do.

But he believed.

His Highness the Emperor Taisun, who has such a big heart, must not be someone who only knows how to be tough. Huang Huai has more expectations for the Ming Dynasty led by the Emperor Taisun in the future.

"It's strange."

Zhu Yuanzhang murmured.

During this period of time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already figured out Zhu Gaochi's character.

Just as Zhu Di sincerely explained to him yesterday.

People have their strengths and weaknesses.

This grandson was full of market spirit. Zhu Yuanzhang thought about continuing to polish it, but suddenly he felt an inexplicable spirit.

"What a contradictory person."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and left quietly.

After leaving Wenhua Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang went to Wuying Palace.

Zhu Di moved to Wuying Hall, while Zhu Gaochi moved to Wenhua Hall. The two fathers and sons were in the east and west, separated by Fengtian Gate.

Zhu Yuanzhang came out of the Wen Building and passed through the Fengtian Palace Square. Instead of taking the right door, he went directly from the Wu Building to the Wuying Palace.

Zhu Di was processing the memorial, and there were several officials from the Sixth Ministry.

After the officials from the Six Ministries left, Zhu Yuanzhang came forward.

"Father."

Zhu Di didn't take it seriously.

Zhu Di was used to his father often observing him doing things in the dark.

"Go tell Zhu Gaochi and he can do whatever he wants."

When Zhu Di heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he showed an inquiring look.

Didn’t my father want to take the exam to become the boss of the school, and it would be over so soon?Something happened that I don't know about.

"While we are still alive, he will not be afraid no matter how big the trouble is." Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly.

"Father, don't worry."

Zhu Di said confidently: "The boss is not a random person, and he will never cause trouble out of control."

My own son knows it himself.

Although Zhu Gaochi sometimes looks unreliable, what he does is always reliable.

"I hope so."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked calm.

Governing a country has never meant that the stronger it is, the better it will be.

The Sui Dynasty became powerful and the second generation died.

The Tang Dynasty was strong but fell into decline.

The Peking model can indeed accelerate the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, but it may not last long, which is also Zhu Yuanzhang's concern.

Like new things and new changes being uprooted from the ground, no one dares to act rashly.
