Chapter 904 Another Shock
When Zhu Pingan proposed "reform and opening up" before, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were already shocked.
After that, the two of them were somewhat prepared.
But when Zhu Ping'an put forward the view that "without farming, there is no stability, without work, there is no wealth, and without business, there is no life", which was summarized from modern experience, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were once again deeply shocked. In the view of both of them, Zhu Pingan's argument explained the status, role and relationship of agriculture, industry and commerce incisively and vividly.
A word "stability" highlights the fundamental status of agriculture in the country; a word "rich" highlights the contribution of handicrafts; a word "movable" is like the finishing touch, vividly expressing the indispensable status of commerce.
Previously, Gao Gong proposed: The foundation should be based on agriculture, supplemented by business, light corvee and low tax, and support business and benefit business.
Then, Zhang Juzheng further proposed: In ancient times, the people who ruled the country depended on whether there was trade and agriculture. If merchants cannot communicate with farmers to benefit farmers, then agriculture will be ill; if farmers cannot use their own resources to benefit merchants, then merchants will be ill.
Now, Zhu Ping'an goes one step further and proposes: There is no stability without farming, no wealth without work, and no life without business!
From Gao Gong to Zhang Juzheng and then to Zhu Pingan, the three of them came from the same line and gradually reached the peak.
“Goodness.”
Even if he is as picky as Gao Gong, after thinking about it for a moment, he couldn't help but praise Zhu Ping'an with the word "good".
“There is no stability without farming, no wealth without industry, and no life without business. Master Zhu’s theory can be said to have thoroughly explained agriculture, industry, and business. Although Mr. Zhu is young, he has a sophisticated vision. I have benefited a lot.”
Zhang Juzheng repeated it softly, cupped his hands and bowed his fists to Zhu Pingan, saying in admiration.
After hearing the word "good" from Gao Gong, Zhu Pingan knew that his goal today had been achieved.
Hehe
As expected.
It would be unexpected if the national policies and experience that are hundreds of years ahead of you cannot impress you.
As long as the goal is achieved.
As a humble gentleman, you should be humble when you should be humble.
“This is just Ping An’s immature opinion. There are still many things that have not been straightened out. I will ask Mr. Gao and Mr. Zhang for advice in the future.”
After hearing the praise from Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng, Zhu Pingan smiled honestly and shook his head modestly.
Seeing that Zhu Pingan was not carried away, Gao Gong nodded slightly.
Gao Gong himself is arrogant and arrogant, but he resents others being like this. In Gao Gong's view, except for himself, those who are arrogant and talented are all "a bottle that does not ring, a half bottle that sloshes" in vain. , shallow people.
Gao Gong has this confidence.
I was born into a scholarly family and an official family. My grandfather was an examiner in the Bingwu Division during the Chenghua period of Emperor Xiaozong and became a doctor in the Ministry of Industry. My father was a candidate in the Gengwu Division of Emperor Wuzong and a Jinshi in the Dingchou Division. He served successively as director and member of the Ministry of Industry. The eldest brother was a jinshi in the 14th year of this dynasty. He served as prefect, participated in politics, and currently serves as the imperial censor of the capital procuratorate.
He has been deeply influenced by the teachings of famous teachers since he was a child. When his father was supervising the political studies in Shandong, he became a disciple of Li Linshan, the former imperial censor of the capital procuratorate and the famous doctor of Zhongxian in Shandong. In six years, he learned all about Li censor. In terms of knowledge, Li Yushi thought that he had no way to teach him, so he recommended himself to the disciple of Lao Jia Yong of Zhishi Pavilion. In a few years, he learned all about Jia Laozhen. In the following years, he traveled to Henan and studied at Daliang Academy, where he studied under the most famous Li Mengyang and Wang Tingxiang. A year later, because of his profound and extensive knowledge and rich knowledge, Li Mengyang was impressed by his knowledge. , Wang Tingxiang, and was also appointed as a teacher by Daliang Academy to teach students.
You can only be proud of something if you have talent.
If you are arrogant without talent, it will always be embarrassing.
“Don’t dare to ask for advice. We can discuss and communicate more in the future.” Zhang Juzheng smiled slightly and waved his hand.
"Master Gao and Master Zhang are senior teachers. They have their own wishes, but Ping An dare not ask me to listen." Zhu Ping'an said with a simple and honest smile.
"There is no need to say such polite words. We are both in Prince Yu's Mansion, and communication in the future is indispensable." Gao Gong waved his hand. Although he said there was no need to be polite, it could be seen that Gao Gong said that Zhu Ping'an was quite useful.
The atmosphere in the room was much more harmonious than when Zhu Pingan first entered.
"Haha, Mr. Zhu just discussed the reform in detail. I wonder what opening up means? Does it mean opening up the sea ban?" Zhang Juzheng asked curiously.
"Yes and no, the opening I just mentioned is opening up to the outside world, including but not limited to the lifting of maritime restrictions." Zhu Pingan replied.
Opening up covers a wide range of areas, not just territorial opening, but also includes ideas, behaviors, etc.
"The sea ban is an ancestral system of the imperial dynasty. Master Zhu proposed opening it up, so I'm not afraid." Zhang Juzheng hesitated to speak.
"Ping'an believes that Lord Gao and Lord Zhang must have also seen the shortcomings of the sea ban. It is true that when Taizu set up the sea ban, it had an obvious effect. It effectively controlled the remaining forces of Fang Guozhen and Zhang Shicheng on the southeastern islands. The harassment of the land stabilized the rear for Taizu's northern frontier resistance to the Yuan Dynasty, and secondly, it also contained the Japanese pirates at that time. "
“However, to this day, the policy of sea ban has done more harm than good. Ping An came from the southeast and is fully aware of its disadvantages. When looking at the seaside area, the fields are exhausted, and the cultivators have nothing to look forward to, only the abyss. Tombs have become a habit for a long time, and the rich will collect goods and return home; the poor will work as servants and earn rice to support themselves. The generation is strong and strong, and refuses to hold out the hands of the poor, so the connection is broken and broken to get out. Those who have been hidden for a long time do not dare to return. The more stringent it is, the more violent the theft will be.”
“The maritime ban prohibits private trade, and now tribute routes are also prohibited. There is no foreign trade, the handicraft industry is shrinking day by day, and there is no work. Wealth comes from this, and the people living in the sea live in poverty, and our treasury income is also decreasing sharply.”
Zhu Pingan knew that Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng were also opposed to the sea ban, and the Longqing switch in history came from them. They also knew that the two of them often criticized the sea ban policy, especially Gao Gong, who was a hot-mouthed person who criticized the sea ban policy even more.
That's why Zhu Pingan expressed his opposition to the sea ban in front of them without any pressure.
Zhu Pingan believes that this will also resonate more with Gao Gong.
Sure enough, from the corner of his eye, Zhu Ping'an saw Gao Gong's eyes showing approval, and his expression also meant appreciation.
"Lord Zhu, you know that many ministers in the DPRK adhere to the ancestral system of the maritime ban. If we open the maritime ban, there will be no less resistance." Zhang Juzheng narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Zhu Ping'an, and whispered reminded.
"Times are also different. The general trend of the world is vast. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish."
Zhu Ping'an raised his head and looked at Zhang Juzheng, with his head held high and his chest held high, with a determined look on his honest face and a pair of piercing eyes. He did not hesitate to borrow Mr. Sun's famous saying from history that has been passed down through the ages.
The general trend of the world is overwhelming. Those who follow it will prosper, and those who go against it will perish!
Say what you say.
There was a thunder in the room.
Zhang Juzheng's ears buzzed, his face changed instantly, his eyes widened suddenly, he took a short and spasmodic breath, and exhaled slowly.
Gao Gong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he suddenly turned to look at Zhu Pingan, in disbelief. (End of this chapter)
