People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 20 Even though tens of thousands of people have been attacked by swords and axes, it is enough for one common person to remember my good deeds, Zhang Juzheng.
The whole atmosphere in the court is like this, so no wonder others are profiting from it.

If you think about it, you will know that even the royal family who controls the world does business for their own small calculations.
Shouldn’t the ministers below follow suit?

Almost all officials in the country are beneficiaries of business, so who dares to make a fuss about business taxes?
Anyway, it’s the poor people who are suffering, not us officials.

Instead of working desperately for those poor people, it is better to be your own official comfortably.

On the surface, he received a very small salary, but secretly he enjoyed the rewards brought by this extremely high business.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty could not enter the industrial revolution was not only due to the different state system, but also

The biggest disadvantage is that there is no competition mechanism.

joke!

All the profitable business is concentrated in the hands of the powerful, and there is no new business class coming in. How can there be competition?

Why did inventions and creations advance by leaps and bounds during the Industrial Revolution? Isn't it because the pressure of competition was so great?
There are many markets outside, but if you don’t have two brushes, you can’t even drink soup.

Under this kind of healthy competition, scientific and technological development will naturally progress.

On the other hand, in the Ming Dynasty, almost all businesses were monopolized, and the people could not even drink the soup, let alone the swill.

There are only a few hundred brands in the Communist Party of China. You give me face and I sell favors to each other. Everyone has their own official backers behind them. If you don’t see them when you look up, you can’t kill them when you look down.

Because once a fatal move is made, who knows which official will have a successful official career, ride on the officials behind him, and then take care of him with him.

Therefore, the shopping malls and officialdom of Ming Dynasty eventually turned into a pool of sewage.
The civil servants were fighting over each other, and the businessmen who supported their fight were also fighting.

There is no healthy competition in such an environment, it is all vicious monopolistic competition.

They only pay taxes if they are protected by officials. How could they think of raising business taxes?

Zhang Juzheng also understood these things very well, and he was also helpless.

Chen Han said: "Mr. Zhang Ge, since God has given us the opportunity to do things now, we must cherish it.
In one fell swoop, we will create a prosperous Ming Dynasty, and both you and I will become famous. "

The expression on Zhang Juzheng's face was a bit awkward. Although he wanted to change his mind, he was really helpless when it came to business matters.

Chen Hanze said: "This time I not only want to destroy their foundation, but also take their lives and increase their business tax ten times. I think the businessmen in the world should have no objection."

Uh……

Everyone felt outrageous after hearing this.

Don't say that a tenfold increase in business tax is equivalent to a double increase. Even if it is doubled, see if they have any objections.

Chen Han looked at everyone present and laughed loudly: "I know that none of you dare to touch this string. I will do it. However, Mr. Zhang Ge, I just remind you that if you really just want to be like the light, then Your current attitude is correct.

If you still have a sense of justice in your heart and want to bring more light to this dirty world, you can follow me.

I have always felt that you are an unparalleled national warrior, so I really want to clean up the world with you.
But if you don't want to, then just think that what I said today was in vain. "

Chen Han said that he was about to leave.

Just when he walked to the door, he heard a steady voice from behind: "Tishuai, let's continue to introduce your reforms!"

A smile appeared at the corner of Chen Han's mouth. The world of adults is not so clear and distinct. Zhang Juzheng's words can tell that he is already moved.

"Mr. Ge!" Others were still persuading.

Once this kind of thing is done, it will be an abyss of destruction.

Nothing good has ever happened to reformers since time immemorial.

Because it offended too many people. Many times, liquidation after death is unavoidable.

Even if the emperor wanted to reform, he would inevitably be remembered as a tyrant in the history books.

Qin Shihuang Yingzheng was like this, and Sui Yang Emperor Yang Guang was like this.

Which one of them is not a monarch who is known as a powerful person?

Which of them is doing something other than reform?
Qin Shihuang’s writings and writings and his cars running on the same track are not reforms?

Yang Guangda vigorously promoted the imperial examination, wasn't it reform?

In the end, none of them ended well, and they were all called tyrants.

In fact, they also want to make the world a better place, but to put it bluntly,
Officials do not want the world to be peaceful. If the world is peaceful, it will appear that they have nothing to do.

But after Zhang Juzheng heard the persuasion of his colleagues, he replied: "Even if thousands of people are attacked by swords and axes, under the lights of thousands of families in the Ming Dynasty, it is enough for the people to remember me, Zhang Juzheng."

"Okay!!!" Chen Han shouted first.

He is truly worthy of being the great man who is unparalleled in his country in his mind.

Zhang Juzheng was a ruthless man, but he never forgot his duty as a minister.
Even though he enjoyed luxury, when he was the chief minister, the country was rich and the people were strong.

He punished too many corrupt officials and those with vested interests, so he had no peace after his death.
But even so, so what, future generations will remember his contribution.

No matter how many people say on various marketing accounts that there is something wrong with Zhang Juzheng’s lifestyle, attacking dissidents, etc.
But the final result is that the people finally have a little less burden.

Just like this, people will remember him well.

It’s true as the saying goes. Which law stipulates that officials in high positions who make decisions for the people cannot be extravagant?
Who stipulates that those who devote themselves silently must be poor?

What’s wrong with people who have contributed to the imperial court living a luxurious life?
Only if your life is very bad can you be regarded as an upright official and make a difference?
Mediocre officials are more hateful than corrupt officials.

Hai Rui and his ilk can only restrain gentlemen, not villains.
Sadly, in this world, villains often account for 99% of the total, while gentlemen only account for one of them.

Therefore, Hai Rui's method does not apply.

In Chen Han's opinion, people who can make great contributions to the people should live a better life.

This is a material reward, don't just reward it mentally all day long.

Don't put a tight spell on the heads of national soldiers all day long.

You must know that they are also ordinary people, not gods.

He also likes what you like, and he also likes to eat what you like to eat.

Why can you, an ordinary person, enjoy these things, but someone who has made such a great contribution cannot?

Some people just have a moral obsession with others and are extremely tolerant of themselves.

Chen Han thought what was wrong with Zhang Juzheng being a little extravagant?
He was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty at that time, even more emperor than the emperor.

Why do some people always think that Zhang Juzheng cannot enjoy it, but they think the emperor's luxury is normal? This is a kind of discrimination.

Therefore, Chen Han admired Zhang Juzheng very much and sympathized with his plight. Such a capable person should not be subject to so many moral constraints.

So Chen Han said: "Mr. Zhang Ge, I am here to thank you for your profound righteousness on behalf of the people of the world."
