The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 84 Zhu Di's Dissatisfaction

The 1 taels of silver, like a gust of wind, spread throughout the factory, then to the iron smelter, and then to the government from the iron smelter.

Everyone knows it.

Someone forced the little prince to take out 1 taels of silver.

What does 1 taels of silver represent?
You can buy [-] shi of rice.

The butcher that everyone admires is the kind that lives all year round, working without eating or drinking for 280 years.

The general worker of China Heavy Industry, worked without food or drink for 830 years.

You can buy 25 luxury houses in the inner city of Beiping Prefecture.

"Who, what identity?"

"I heard that he is a craftsman."

"No way? Are you so courageous, can you be subdued?"

Soon.

Zhu Gaochi's topic was once again on the hot list among the market in Beiping Prefecture, and every common people tirelessly discussed this issue.

"Your idiot, if it were me, hehe." A commoner laughed.

"Your nobleman is young, he grew up in a rich and noble town, and he doesn't know money yet."

"Such a prodigal, can the prince agree?"

……

Zhu Di's face was full of darkness.

Sitting motionless in the chair, his chest heaved and heaved, he looked pissed off.

"Every time we ask the boss for money, he will search and search, and he has to talk a lot. It is not easy to make money, and it is difficult to do things."

"We asked him for money, but we didn't have enough momentum after all, so we just let him nag."

"It's good for him. He threw 1 taels of silver outside without blinking. Did you ask us? Who allowed him to throw money outside?"

The princess was also heartbroken.

King Yan's mansion was richer before.

The prince's salary is [-] shi per year, [-] guan in banknotes, and [-] horse fodder per month...

But that is the old calendar.

All the variegated colors stopped, and Lumi dropped from fifty thousand shi to ten thousand shi.

Not every prince has one.

The King of Qin is gone after committing a crime. King Jin and King Yan can get the full amount of [-] shi every month, and the rest of the vassals, only King Qi can get [-] shi, and the rest of the vassals are mostly [-] shi.

Zhu Di's salary is only worth 5000 taels of silver a year.

As for the property of the guards.

Food, sheep, chickens and ducks, etc., are expected to be a lot, and Zhu Di has to add money to it to make up for the military households.

5000 taels of silver is not enough for the favor of the palace.

Not to mention the palace's own expenses.

The reason why it can still be supported is because a lot of savings have been accumulated when the feudal prince's mansion was in glory.

It can be said that you want money, money, and power.

But things have changed and people have changed, and today is not what it used to be.

Yanwang Mansion is actually an empty shelf.

So it is with money.

Expenses are greater than inputs.

Favors come and go, and they can tear down the east wall to make up for the west wall, but the military households are rewarded every year, which is a bottomless pit, and no amount of money is enough to spend.

In fact, Prince Yan's mansion had to live a tight life.

"2 taels of silver made up for some of the previous deficits of the palace. This year's rewards to military households, we are still counting on the boss."

"He is very generous. He threw away 1 taels without even asking. He really treats the factory as his own. Does this old man still care about us?"

"Calm down, wait for the boss to come back, you can ask him carefully, first ask clearly, if the boss has a difficult problem."

Princess Yan didn't want to add fuel to the flames, suppressed the entanglement in her heart, and chose to comfort her husband.

"Humph."

Zhu Di snorted coldly, "If it wasn't for the fact that the boss has been performing satisfactorily during this period, we would have sent someone to call him back long ago."

"You also know that the boss is doing well. He is not a fool. There must be a reason."

"What's the reason? Who can force him? I think he just gets carried away and needs to be beaten."

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Zhu Gaochi returned to the palace from the factory and took the initiative to greet his parents.

Seeing Zhu Di's ugly face, he knew that he guessed right, Zhu Di should be so distressed to death.

Although he earned the money.

But he didn't have a separate family, so it was naturally a family property, and Zhu Di was in charge.

"Father, please don't be angry. Listen to your son's explanation. If you are not satisfied, the son will let the father punish you. There is no other way."

Just as Zhu Di was about to speak, Zhu Gaochi spoke first, his tone stuck in his throat, and he rolled his eyes.

"You said."

"A son is a thousand pieces of gold to buy a horse bone."

Zhu Di squinted his eyes, and looked at Zhu Gaochi seriously, wondering whether it was his excuse or it was true.

"Whose bone to buy?"

"Buy the bones of artisans."

"Although artisans are very important, is it necessary to spend so much effort?" Zhu Di was noncommittal.

since ancient times.

No one in the ruling class underestimates craftsmen, but attaches great importance to craftsmen.

This includes many Hu people.

Even in the era when the Hu people ravaged the Central Plains, the Hu people would treat Han artisans better than ordinary Han people.

It's just that 1 taels of silver are used to buy bones with thousands of gold.

Zhu Di felt unbeautiful instead.

After this matter spread, it was too easy to arouse the dissatisfaction of some stingy scholars, and they were not worth the price.

But scholars have a deep relationship.

Teachers, mentors, the same subjects, classmates, fellow countrymen... form a network of dense relationships, and their voices are loud.

Whoever is said to be bad will have a bad reputation.

"necessary."

Zhu Gaochi said firmly.

"The normal way of doing many things is a matter of course, but because of the different identities of the sons, many craftsmen are timid and delayed a lot of things."

"More people are afraid of bearing the consequences and dare not take the initiative to do things."

"The matter of 1 taels of silver will make many craftsmen no longer be afraid of us."

Zhu Di put away his ugly face, and the princess stayed aside, quietly listening to the conversation between father and son.

She was worried that King Yan would scold the boss too much, and also worried that the boss would disobey his father.

"Boss, you want to be a virtuous king, but you have to understand a truth."

Zhu Di thinks that he has eaten more salt than his son has eaten rice, and thinks that although the boss has grown up, he lacks knowledge, so he takes it for granted.

"Father please teach me." Zhu Gaochi lowered his hands respectfully.

"Benevolence alone is not enough. People are like this. They are afraid of power but not virtue. We are fighting outside the Great Wall, and many people are afraid of us and dare not touch our edge."

"Only when others are afraid of you, will they appreciate your benevolence, otherwise they will only laugh at your benevolence."

Is Zhu Di's idea really that simple?

Zhu Gaochi did not refute easily, but thought carefully for a while.

The current Zhu Di is just young and powerful, and his life and career are going smoothly, and he has not encountered any setbacks in general.

He has led troops to fight outside the Great Wall all year round, so he will naturally form this idea, but this idea will only develop further as he grows older and has experienced ups and downs.

The current conflict between the two is due to the inconsistency of thinking.

Either the east wind prevails over the west wind, or the west wind prevails over the east wind.

Don't talk about the big truth.

In fact, Zhu Di didn't trust himself enough.

Who wouldn't say the truth?
To speak the truth, Zhu Gaochi is really worthy of Zhu Di, he can crush him to death.

"It is rumored on the left that when mourning and joy are lost, disasters will come. Tell people that when mourning, disasters are bound to come."

"But Huainanzi said, blessings can be turned into disasters, and disasters can be turned into blessings. They cannot be transformed into extremes, and they are unfathomable."

"Some people say that once a general succeeds, ten thousand bones die. Some people say that loving a general is like a treasure, and treating a soldier like a grass. Some people say that loving a person is like a son, and using a soldier is like a mountain."

"It is also said that love becomes hatred when it is heavy, and joy when it is thin. And Guanzi also said that love is like parents, and return is like water."

"There is no standard for the principles of the world, so the son thinks that the father's words are biased. From the son's point of view, benevolence should be the most important thing to his own people."

"Ah."

Zhu Di laughed angrily.

Leaning on the desk, his face is full of weirdness.

For a long time no one dared to speak to him like that in front of his face.

In his memory, he was still in the feudal land, but for many years, with his great military exploits, no one dared to teach him anymore.

The person who can teach him is in Yingtian Mansion.

"Boss." The princess gently reminded her son not to keep talking back to his father.

"In my son's view, human nature should be viewed from an extraordinary perspective. If he only sees the evil of human nature, then in his eyes, human nature must be evil."

"But if what he sees is the goodness of human nature, then in his eyes, human nature must be good."

"When he encounters good things, he sees the goodness of human nature, and when he encounters evil things, what he sees is the evil of human nature."

Zhu Gaochi tried his best to make his tone sound more mature.

a long time.

Zhu Di said slowly, "Then what do you think?"

"My son doesn't like to analyze the good or bad of human nature from a single incident. In my son's view, people have different needs at different stages."

"Food is the paramount necessity of man."

"Food and clothing are the basic needs of the people, so all dynasties and dynasties have made food and clothing a national priority and must not be shaken."

"In Ming Dynasty, there are poor people and rich people. Most of them are ordinary people who can make ends meet after hard work."

"In addition to food and clothing, there are spiritual needs."

"According to the theory of evil in human nature, it is full of warmth and lust."

The concubine at the side spat, turned her head away from looking at her son, only felt that his son was becoming more and more unseemly, and his father should teach him a lesson.

Zhu Di didn't respond, but his quiet performance showed that he was seriously thinking.

"From my son's point of view, this is just a very common thing, and this kind of behavior should not be evaluated with malice, because it is a normal physiological need of a person."

"After solving this need, there will still be a need for people to communicate with each other, so there will be friends from previous years, friends who forget their form, friends who are gentlemen, friends who are irresistible, friends who cut and kill, friends who are poor and humble..."

"In the communication between people, there will be a need for cognition again."

……

Arguing with Zhu Di whether the 1 taels of silver should be given to the craftsman, the more you argue, the easier it is to lose.

The reason why a certain monarch was persuaded by someone in the history books and changed his mind is precisely because it happened so rarely that it is worthy of being recorded.

Zhu Gaochi will not entangle with Zhu Di on this matter.

The real way to solve the problem is to let him know that his eldest son's ideological realm is very profound, not as shallow as he thought.

With this understanding, Zhu Di will not continue to entangle in the right and wrong of things.

Whether things are right or wrong, everyone has different cognitions and opinions. Zhu Di is definitely no longer thinking in the same dimension as himself.

For example, the spiritual needs of the industrial class.
