Chapter 227 The disaster of chaos and destruction did not originate from the barbarians, but from the common people
The layout of the Gewuyuan in the Ming Dynasty is that six pavilions surround the Tianyi Tower. Outside these six pavilions, It is the Prince De's Mansion under construction, which is the emperor's uncle Zhu Zaiyu, and opposite Zhu Zaiyu is the emperor's palace.
This palace covers an area of less than ten acres, with a city wall and a three-story pavilion with a width of twelve rooms.
There are a total of forty-six rooms in the pavilion. If Zhu Yijun stays in the Gewuyuan or Jiangwu Hall until night, he can stay in the palace directly without going back to the palace.
Zhu Yijun suddenly asked: "Sir, what do you think is the first priority for the development of the country?"
Zhang Juzheng looked at the courtiers around him. His Majesty's inquiry was very sudden, Chunfeng Everyone was thinking. Standing on the sixth floor of the first floor of the Gewuyuan, it was actually easy to get an answer, that is, technological progress.
Technological progress has brought about a large abundance of products, or translation, technology is the primary productive force.
"People." Zhang Juzheng answered His Majesty's question concisely and comprehensively. He did not subconsciously think that technological progress would bring about improvements in production efficiency and the abundance of products would promote the country just because he was standing on the first floor of the sky. The country is vigorously moving forward.
Zhu Yijun said doubtfully: "Human?"
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, if the poor coolies are regarded as production tools, then among all production tools, the most The most powerful ones must be the poor coolies themselves, because they contain the power to change the color of the world. Since ancient times, the disasters of chaos and destruction did not originate from the barbarians, but from the struggle for promotion. "
"When Qin became strong and prosperous, it annexed the six kingdoms and unified the world. Those who disrupted the world were not the six kingdoms, but the small people of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang." "The people who disturbed the world with their death were not the barbarians, but the small people Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao." The barbarians are Wang Xianzhi and Huang Chao, who are small people. "
"Hu Yuan is far away, the world is overturned, and the foreign countries have bowed their heads. Those who have disturbed the world are not powerful people, but Han Shantong, Liu Futong, and Emperor Gao are small people. ”
Zhang Juzheng sharply commented that Emperor Gao Zhu Yuanzhang was just a commoner before he became emperor, because Emperor Gao himself never evaded the fact that he was born in poverty, and even did not evade the fact that he became a monk in Huangjue Temple. I have been begging for three years.
It's not a shame.
The Kong family in Yanzhou took this matter and said all day that Lao Zhu's family was a nouveau riche, and others founded the country, and recognized their ancestors everywhere. Even the Huns Liu Yuan knew that Liu Chan was his ancestor, but the Ming Dynasty Don’t recognize your ancestors.
The Qing Dynasty of Tartar also recognized the Wanyan family as their ancestors and called themselves Hou Jin. At the time of Huang Taiji, the name of the country was changed to Qing.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not think that it was a shame to be born in a humble background.
Qi Jiguang said very solemnly: "Just like war, which determines victory or defeat, weapons are an important factor in war, but they are not the decisive factor. The decisive factor is people, not things."
< br>
The reason why Qi Jiguang is so sure is that weapons require people to use them, and they also require long-term maintenance and upkeep. If the army is not fully built, and if the country tends to collapse, no matter how strong the military equipment is, it will only serve as a dowry for others. Just clothes.
When the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty were communicating, the Jin State had a powerful weapon, the Iron Buddha, which was a heavy armored cavalry. The Iron Buddha of the Jin State was directly modified from the infantry armor of the Northern Song Dynasty by robbing the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.
"Your Majesty, I think Yuan Fu is right." Wan Shihe said with a frown: "I dare to overstep my bounds. During the Xuande period of Yongle, I made seven voyages to the West. If Yi Mo dares not to obey, Ceylon plunders our Ming Dynasty fleet, and the three treasure eunuchs capture the king alive and enter the capital."
"But such a majestic fleet, within ten years, can no longer be found. If Mao Kun, Hu Zongxian's staff, had not carefully collected the old records of Shuicheng's mission, I am afraid it would be difficult to see him again."
"I personally believe that, as Mr. Yuan Fu said, the fundamental responsibility of a country lies in its people. It’s not about skill. You are not denying skill, but skill is ultimately used by people. If you ignore people, you may be in danger of overthrowing.”
Zhang Juzheng and Wan Shi are well versed in the theory of contradiction. Everyone knows clearly that Zhang Juzheng’s expression is not that those who have machines must have things, and those who have things must have motives, opportunism, haste makes waste, etc. He is still expressing: If the Ming Dynasty wants to be stable and the country wants to progress, The main thing is people, and its core logic is still that the people are the foundation of a country, and the foundation is the foundation of the country.
If you want society to develop but ignore people, then you have to sacrifice the basics and pursue the weak.
This is a question of route. Zhang Juzheng is also afraid that the little emperor will go astray. It does not mean that technological progress is not important. If it is not important, Zhang Juzheng will not agree to build the Gewuyuan, and he also strongly supports it. Today on the first floor Most of the books in the collection were found by Zhang Juzheng's order and officials at all levels carefully searched for them.
Zhang Juzheng means that the most important thing is people.
Productivity is man's ability to transform nature, and the subject of this ability to transform nature is man. To talk about technological progress without talking about man is, in Zhang Juzheng's view, a waste of time.
Zhu Yijun nodded solemnly and said with a smile: "I will always keep what you said in mind."
The conflict between Taifu Zhang Juzheng and Emperor Wanli began in the second year of Wanli. Zhang Juzheng refused to give in. Emperor Wanli turned on the lights in Aoshan, because the lights in Aoshan often cost tens of thousands of taels of silver, which was too expensive. Emperor Wanli wanted to see it, but Zhang Juzheng stopped him, and Feng Bao came out to deal with it. In December of the fourth year of Wanli, because of the purple The issue of robes gradually faded away.
Emperor Wanli wanted to dye more purple robes, but Zhang Juzheng used Emperor Jiajing and Emperor Longqing as examples to teach Emperor Wanli a lesson.
Zhang Juzheng said: Emperor Shizong did not pay attention to luxury and extravagance, but used the ones that were suitable for a long time. Every emperor's robe is worn out and never replaced, so his longevity in the country may not be due to this. I have heard that this is not the case with the late Emperor. It is easy to wear an imperial coat. I hope that the emperor will only take the emperor as the law. If you can save one garment, ten people will receive it. If you use one garment lightly, there will be dozens of people. Those who suffer from the cold must remember it.
Zhang Juzheng’s words are no longer rude, they are a warning. He brought out the emperor’s grandfather and said that the Taoist priest would wear out his clothes before changing them, so he enjoyed a long country. And Emperor Longqing, for Clothes are easily accessible.
It is not known how Emperor Wanli responded to this sentence, leaving only one sentence: At that time, people also said that people are so poor that they have wives to pay tribute to.
In the fourth year of Wanli Emperor Wanli and Zhang Juzheng, a fierce conflict broke out because of the color of a piece of clothing. Zhang Juzheng reprimanded Emperor Wanli. Emperor Wanli didn’t know what he said, but Zhang Juzheng called Emperor Wanli his father. He and his grandfather took it out to admonish him, and it was obvious that the conflict was intensifying.
When the commotion started, everyone on the right and left came out to persuade them, saying that poor coolies still had to sell their wives and children to make ends meet, and they finally persuaded them to stop.
Zhang Siwei entered the cabinet under this background. The strife in the court from the fifth year of Wanli to the tenth year of Wanli seemed to be dominated by the Jin Party headed by Zhang Juzheng and Zhang Siwei, but in fact it was the emperor Arguing with Yuansuke about the route.
In December of the ninth year of Wanli, Zhang Juzheng, who already knew that the situation was over, signed a memorial to exempt the people from paying taxes and completely left the center of power.
Emperor Wanli won, but Ming Dynasty lost completely.
Zhang Juzheng really wanted to teach Emperor Wanli well, but he failed in the end.
But Zhu Yijun is different. He doesn't care much about food, clothing, housing, transportation, and hardship. He only cares about whether the Ming Dynasty can start again.
The reason why he cares, is so persistent, and so heroic is because he is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. This is his obligation as the emperor. This is the reason.
Zhu Yijun went to Jingying after coming out of the Imperial Palace. He stayed in Jingying until the evening before returning to the palace. His bow had already reached seventy kilograms. This kilogram was already different from that of Li Rusong at this age. Not much left.
Qi Jiguang, Ma Fang, Yang Wen, Li Rusong and others all took turns to praise the emperor, and also took out several backward elements in the Beijing camp to reprimand them. The Beijing camp can only be selected after they are fifteen years old. , but most of the selected people were over 18 years old. As a result, these more than 50 people could shoot a 60-pound bow.
Zhu Yijun still has not given up on mounted archery. Although Qi Jiguang repeatedly said that mounted archery is just a show-off ability and useless in actual combat, Zhu Yijun is still practicing hard and has stabilized to the level of three arrows and one hit. This is already extremely good. A good level, which means that His Majesty the Emperor can already ride a horse and gallop.
After Zhu Yijun took a shower, he sat down and took a sip of water, preparing to continue reading agricultural books after the meal. Recently, he was studying rubber trees, but rubber trees are planted in Guangdong and Guangxi and Wanli seawalls, and Zhu Yijun asked someone from far away in Luzon to Mr. Guo, please study this rubber tree. Ming Dynasty needs this thing to be used in dynamic seals.
Feng Bao and Zhang Hong were waiting on the left and right. Seeing that His Majesty was finally free, Feng Bao said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I heard an interesting story."
"Oh? Tell me. Look." Zhu Yijun nodded.
"Sun Jigao, I got scolded again." Feng Bao raised his head, and as soon as he spoke, Zhu Yijun became happy.
The number one scholar in the second year of Wanli is always scolded.
"My name is Sun Jigao now." Feng Bao bowed his head and said.
Zhang Hong bowed his head and said: "I am now a dark-skinned beggar."
Feng Bao said: "Yesterday, Sun Jigao was going for an outing with someone in the garden. While walking, he met When they saw a beggar begging on the roadside, Sun Jigao, Gu Xiancheng and others laughed at the beggar. Why did Sun Jigao laugh at this beggar? "
Feng Bao changed his identity, held up his hands and assumed the posture of a Confucian scholar, He said: "You beggar, you are so weird. You are already begging, and you still have to worry about your face? Did you deliberately paint your face to beg?" At this point, he still has to keep his face and paint his face dark, fearing that others will recognize him." Zhang Hong explained, and Sun Jigao felt that this beggar was different from others.
Zhang Hong bent down, pretending to be a beggar, raised his eyes and looked at Feng Bao with disgust, and then said: "I blackened my face because I feel ashamed, those few Noble man, what’s the point of painting your face whiter than a dead person?”
Zhu Yijun was stunned and asked: “Boss, are we Ming scholars still using rouge and gouache?”
"You will need it to participate in the poetry festival." Feng Bao answered His Majesty's question.
"The court officials never apply rouge or gouache on their faces." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said. He really didn't know that it was really strange that scholars in the Ming Dynasty still applied powder.
“If court officials or ministers apply powder, they may be thrown out by the ceremonial officers.” Feng Bao explained with a smile that there were ceremonial officers in the Ming Dynasty, who would enter the court disguised as women. , all within the scope of the imperial staff. Some imperial staffs do increase your reputation, but some imperial staffs are a shame if you receive them.
"You guys keep talking." Only then did Zhu Yijun understand and continued to listen to the joke.
Feng Bao held his hand and turned into Sun Jigao again. He pointed at the beggar and said angrily: "I don't understand nonsense. This is just to cover up flaws."
Zhang Hong slowly He stood up and said: "I said you have no shame, but you only heard me say that you applied powder and defended it. Why? So you really have no shame."
" Officials have no shame, open their doors, exchange gold for silver, confuse right and wrong, and join a private family. Where is the shame? "
Feng Bao was so angry that he wanted to chase the beggar Zhang Hong. But the beggar ran away without a trace, and the matter ended here.
Zhu Yijun slapped his thigh and said, "What a great scolding! Who wrote this plot?"
"It's not written, it's true. Someone saw it and wrote it out. , submitted it to the People's Daily, and the editors of the People's Daily were Geng Dingxiang and Jiao Hong, so they published it as a joke," Zhang Hong, a beggar who came back from the house, explained cheerfully.
Feng Bao and Zhang Hong burst out laughing when they saw this piece, and they performed an impromptu performance for His Majesty.
"Didn't you make it up? Is it true?" Zhu Yijun thought he was telling a joke, but he never expected that it was Sun Jigao who was really being humiliated by the beggar.
Sun Jigao opened up his door and exchanged gold for silver. The main method was to become a disciple. After becoming a disciple, he restrained Shu Xiu and anti-corruption sword Hai Rui. He couldn't even rebel against Shu Xiu, right?
Sun Jigao provided imperial examination consulting services and helped Gu Xiancheng get the title on the gold list. "There is another joke." Feng Bao thought for a while and thought that since His Majesty liked to hear it, he would tell another joke.
“Let’s talk and listen.” Zhu Yijun nodded and said.
Feng Bao said: "But after the examination, Sun Jigao took Gu Xiancheng to see a prostitute. The prostitute's name was Qi Yaxiu. When Qi Yaxiu went there, it was a little late. Sun Jigao asked the prostitute, why did you come? "Is it too late?"
"The prostitute said that after reading two volumes, he didn't hear Mammy's greeting."
"Sun Jigao laughed with Gu Xiancheng and asked the prostitute again. , what is your name?”
“The prostitute said: My name is Qi Yaxiu, my nickname is Ya’er.”
“Sun Jigao laughed wildly when he heard this and said to Gu Xiancheng: I said. It’s Qi Yaxiu, it turns out it’s the umbilicus that stinks.”
Zhu Yijun actually understood that "stinky" has two pronunciations. Sun Jigao, this bitch, was just playing a homophonic joke to humiliate this prostitute for studying. How could a prostitute who spread her legs to serve others still study?
And this prostitute obviously had an accent, and Sun Jigao was also laughing at her accent.
The Tomb Sect, which enjoys humiliating people, can cause so many troubles with prostitutes.
Let's just have sex with prostitutes, let's have fun together. The important thing is that we look like husband and wife on the couch, but we don't know each other off the couch. You provide the money, I provide the meat, everyone agrees with each other, and it's a happy time.
Sun Jigao was obviously not satisfied with such enjoyment, and wanted to humiliate others to show his nobility.
Feng Bao saw that His Majesty understood that there was no need to explain too much about the ugly faces of these scholars, so he continued: "After saying this, the prostitute became angry and said with a sneer: I know that several of my patrons are military officials. It turns out that It's a civil servant. "
Civil servants and Wen Guan are all playing homophonic jokes, but prostitutes are obviously hanging out with others, and their scolding skills are even better. Wen Guan is a dog with a nose as sensitive as a dog.
Qi Yaxiu’s name is Qi Yaxiu, and it’s not like she really has navel odor, but Sun Jigao, Gu Xiancheng and others are indeed civil servants, and they are indeed dog-like.
The prostitute didn't dare to offend Sun Jigao too much, so she scolded him, but she had to hear it.
Sun Jigao can be the number one scholar, but he is ignorant and rigid, but that does not mean that he is stupid. On the contrary, he is not stupid at all, and he understood it immediately.
Feng Bao continued: "Sun Jigao was furious: The bitch is rude!"
"The prostitute said: If I were a bitch, you would all be male dogs; if I were not a bitch, you would all be male princes."< br>
The prostitute uses an allusion here, wearing a monkey's crown, saying that a monkey wears a human crown and becomes a human.
Hou, monkey, duke, male monkey, this is a homophonic joke, but Sun Jigao was scolded to death. They were going to hook up with a prostitute, and they were hooking up with a female dog. Then Sun Jigao was not a male dog. ? Since it is not a male dog, it is a monkey.
Zhu Yijun immediately became happy, shook his head and said: "This is a joke after all. Qi Yaxiu is a servant, how can he scold his benefactor like this?"
"It's really not a joke. , because it happened in Yanxing Tower, which is Huangzhuang after all. After Qi Yaxiu cursed, grandma looked for someone to find someone to bring peace to Xu Jue, and Xu Jue sent him to Yongsheng Woolen Factory. "Feng Bao. He bowed his head and said.
These prostitutes are all working in the lower circles. In the past, they would not dare to scold like this, but now they dare. If they scold Sun Jigao, he will at most be sent to a woolen factory. Although his life may not seem as good as It used to be so respectable, but life is much more stable.
"This Sun Jigao gets scolded wherever he goes." Zhu Yijun then shook his head, so that was what happened.
"Your Majesty, the palace will open underground ditches for dredging in March." Feng Bao reported on the work in the palace, dredging. The palace must open underground ditches for drainage in spring, summer and autumn every year. During the Jiajing Period, Donghua The Jinshui River from the gate to Xihua Gate was more than three feet deep. It was raining heavily.
After hearing the news, Master Dao only asked the internal officials to open the underground ditch and clear it again to prevent waterlogging due to heavy rain. He did not order the killing of the nine tribes.
"Yeah." Zhu Yijun was sure. It wasn't a big deal. It rained heavily and accumulated water. Isn't that a common thing? The craftsmen who built the palace during the Yongle period did not bury oil-paper packages in the ditch.
"Hasn't the examiner sent the list of Jinshi this time?" Zhu Yijun asked with some confusion.
According to the schedule, the list should be sent today. After Emperor Zhu approves, the list will be published. Zhu Zaiyu, the director of the Institute of Geosciences, has already approved the arithmetic paper and is waiting for the exam. After confirming the list, the arithmetic results will be announced.
“It’s tomorrow.” Feng Bao bowed his head and said, “Took one more subject, so this batch of papers will be postponed by one day.”
“Indeed, I added the additional papers. "Let's do it tomorrow." Zhu Yijun waved his hand and continued to study the planting of his own rubber trees and light rubber.
This thing is very interesting. The rubber tree is native to Brazil. Captain Antonio regarded this thing as an ornamental plant and sent a lot of seeds. However, Beiya cannot plant it. The only people in Daming that can plant rubber trees are Hainan and Guangdong.
Of course, there are also the Nanyang countries that nominally belong to the Ming Dynasty.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Yijun met Lu Tiaoyang, his second assistant after a long absence. Lu Tiaoyang and Shen Shixing were the examiners this time. The list of Chinese-style Jinshi for the joint examination was finally determined.
The number one scholar is Jiao Hong. As soon as the name appeared, Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief. It was not a problem for the number one scholar of the Ming Dynasty to be scolded everywhere. Jiao Hong's fighting ability was obvious to all. He was the only one who could scold others. Son.
Zhang Siwen and Wang Qian were also in the list of Jinshi. After Zhu Yijun read it, he found that Gu Xiancheng was also there, and his face immediately became ugly.
He picked up the ink pen, crossed out Gu Xiancheng's name and said: "I don't like this person and won't let him do Chinese style. Sir, can I do this?"
"Of course." Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said.
The imperial examination is also called Enke. Isn’t this thing just according to His Majesty’s wishes? Besides, it's just a matter of crossing out one person. According to the basic logic of the master-master unity, it doesn't matter if His Majesty takes back all the names on the list and takes the exam again.
During the Hongwu period, after the North-South Examination broke out, Emperor Taizu Gao ordered a re-examination. Wasn’t that a re-examination?
Your Majesty is just crossing out someone you don’t like. This is not uncommon in all dynasties.
It is expected that Your Majesty does not like Gu Xiancheng. That guy made arrogant remarks at Yanxing Tower and was overheard by Your Majesty. Your Majesty even went to refute him personally because Your Majesty got to know Jiao Hong, the number one scholar.
Zhu Yijun does not intend to adjust his ranking. Since Jiao Hong is the first in the general examination, he will still be the first as long as there are no problems in the imperial examination. Who makes Zhu Yijun like this student who speaks arrogantly and scolds Confucians everywhere? Woolen cloth?
As for Gu Xiancheng, I'm sorry. His name was crossed out in this place and he can only come back next time. If no one tells Gu Xiancheng, Gu Xiancheng will refer to it three times and then completely lose his qualifications for Jinshi.
Besides, Your Majesty, please finish the drawing before asking. Are you asking for the opinion of the minister?
"That's it." Zhu Yijun handed the list to Zhang Hong, and then picked up another list, specializing in Enke Jinshi, a total of one hundred and fifty people. Zhu Yijun read the list and did not cross it out. Whoever directly approved and printed it was considered to have approved the list.
The specially-gifted Enke Jinshi have all served in the local area for many years, and they have all been among the top three in three years of passing the imperial examination. They are not Zhang Juzheng’s cronies. People who are living alone see him as a crony of Zhang Juzheng, and they obviously do not understand the political system of the Ming Dynasty.
It is a joke that a genuine Tutor has a lot of cronies who are not in the mainstream and have no official status.
"Did Huang Qing come to Beijing to resign? I'll announce it later." Zhu Yijun saw Huang Qing's name. He was born in the current county magistrate. He came to Beijing to express his gratitude. He mostly did reclamation, construction of water conservancy and Fish and meat power.
Huang Qing and Hai Rui already had something to say, because Huang Qing was also impeached as a powerful man.
"I obey the order." Zhang Juzheng obeyed the order of his leader. It was his suggestion to let the emperor see his foreign officials. Over the years, his majesty has been very resolute in carrying out it, instead of finding reasons to evade.
Huang Qing, courtesy name Xingping, is from Jiangxi. He is not tall, half a head taller than the fifteen-year-old Zhu Yijun. He is relatively thin and looks a bit big in official uniform. He came to Beijing to receive the seal and went to Zhejiang. When Renhe was the county magistrate, Huang Qing failed to pass the Jinshi examination because he had no money.
The Ming Dynasty system is that in the first year of passing the examination, a person can be assigned to a post to enter the capital. However, Huang Qing's mother died and he stayed in mourning for three years. This was delayed, and later he had no money to enter the capital.
Winning the imperial examination means leaping over the dragon's gate and changing one's status. Even if one accepts contributions from some big families and uses the land that is exempted from the tax to become Mr. Huang, he will not be so embarrassed that he cannot enter the capital. , but Mr. Huang did not become Mr. Huang in the end, but became Huang Qingtian.
Huang Qing’s problem is that he has offended the local wealthy families, so no one dares to invest in his name. If he doesn’t become Mr. Huang, it’s not that he doesn’t want to, but that he can’t do it. He has no money to enter Beijing and no official position. Unable to use the inn and having no place to find horse cards, he finally became an official and worked there for twelve years. In the fourth year of Wanli, he became the magistrate of Renhe County.
After entering the palace, Huang Qing hurriedly knelt down and shouted "Long Live Long Live" three times.
"No gift, no gift." Zhu Yijun smiled at Huang Qing and said: "Huang Aiqing, today I will give you a special gift of Enke Jinshi. I hope that you will not forget why you are giving me this gift, and you can overcome the ultimate difficulty. You and I should encourage you together."< br>
"I sincerely obey His Majesty's holy teachings." Huang Qing was silent for a long time before he solemnly kowtowed again.
"I have some doubts. This kind of mulberry is so rich. Why is there so many grain fields and cotton fields in the south of the Yangtze River, but few mulberry fields?" Zhu Yijun asked about Huang Qing's government affairs. Look at this seventh-rank man who climbed up from an official position. Sir, what are your thoughts?
“Mulberry trees are very profitable, but it takes two years to raise silkworms. It is extremely difficult for poor people to make a living, let alone grow mulberry trees.” Huang Qing thought about it for a moment before saying what he wanted. views on this issue.
Profits can only be obtained in the third year of planting mulberry trees, so where does the first two years of income come from? The court's taxes, the grain rents of the gentry, the private demands of the rural areas, etc., made the people's lives difficult. Life was difficult. If there was no harvest in two years, planting mulberry trees would cost the lives of the people.
"What Aiqing said is the first time I heard it. A Confucian scholar told me that it was the common people who were short-sighted." Zhu Yijun suddenly realized and recognized Huang Qing's answer.
The Ming Dynasty was short of silk, and whatever silk it had was exchanged for silver. The powerful people who were accustomed to wearing silk and satin naturally couldn't bear the life without silk, so they proposed to change the rice to mulberry. , Planting trees brings prosperity, but Zhu Yijun has always been unsupportive of this matter.
This decree seems good, but the cost that is never mentioned is that people's lives will become even more miserable.
Huang Qing’s perspective on the problem is based on practical experience and bottom-up. Zhu Yijun recognized Huang Qing very much. He said with a smile: "I have a second question. I love you from Jiangnan. , coming along the canal, in Aiqing's opinion, the benefits of transporting grain by sea outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the benefits? "
"The great benefits will make the country prosperous." Huang Qing bowed his head and said: "This year, the sea transport is not good. One million stones, there are still three million stones in the river, but it is still a big profit. At least in the month of the reduction, the world's department stores are more unimpeded. Along the canal, there is no shortage of grain and sea transportation, and the livelihood of the people ”
The transportation capacity of the Grand Canal is extremely limited, and water transportation takes up four months of the canal, which is the prime time of the Grand Canal. Grain is not a bulk commodity with extremely high exchange value. The greatest value of grain is its use value. , if the exchange value is driven up, it is harming the people, and it is a dynasty bug that needs to be cleaned up.
Huang Qing didn’t want to talk too much, he just told His Majesty the answer. From the time he entered Beijing and saw the warehouses along the canal, he knew that the canal’s transport capacity had been released, trade became more frequent, grain and sea transportation, Great benefits will make the country prosperous.
Zhu Yijun smiled and said: "That's it."
The Ming Dynasty was always like this. In theory, it should be like this, but the reality is often not like this.
These two Ming Dynasty jokes, the first beggar laughs at Shilin, is indeed a mockery of Sun Jigao, the number one scholar, and the second Qi Yaxiu is a mockery of Yang Shiqi, the first assistant in the Zhengtong period, saying that Yang Shiqi went to see a prostitute and was scolded by a prostitute. . Please give me a monthly ticket, wow! ! ! ! ! ! !
