Chapter 523: Arctic Xuan Ling Dang Demon Antarctica Red Flame Guangli Hongsheng Tianzun
Wang Qian had previously thought that Lin Fucheng, a liberal, could have anything to say?
The He family in Gaoyang refused to reduce rent during the disaster years, which led to the disaster of annihilation of the family, showing the complex and disordered balance of contradictions in the countryside; and then revealed that the local government cleverly created names and used the name of labor to carry out Armed resistance to taxes during the apportionment process; in the latest issue of Xiaoyao Anecdote, the incident of impersonating official land was directly exposed, triggering a major earthquake.
On this trip to Baoding, Lin Fucheng's revelations were already very bold. At least for the court, it would take some time to adjust. As for the content of the next issue, Wang Qian believed that it would be better not to write it well.
If Lin Fucheng wanted to write a letter to force the people to rebel, it would be better to write "I want to rebel" directly, bypassing the intermediate link and go to jail. Wang Qian accompanied Lin Fucheng to jail together.
"Young Master Huang's hands and eyes are astute, and he said he could write." Lin Fucheng seemed a little unwilling.
Wang Qian thought for a while and said: "Master Lin, have I ever said such a thing? Mr. Huang has never made such a promise."
"It turns out that big men can go back on their word." When Lin Fucheng heard that Wang Qian retracted what he had said before, he also knew that this topic was indeed not convenient to touch, so it was better to just touch it briefly.
"After all, I am deeply attached to this beautiful world, and I believe Master Lin is also so attached to the beauty of the world." Wang Qian said in a slightly exaggerated tone.
Lin Fucheng nodded and said: "Yes, I am very attached to it too."
You don't have to express what you think in your heart. Li Chunfang, who has been the chief assistant, still has to express his understanding of the world in a subtle way through Journey to the West. He is even more afraid of other people. For the survival of Guangde Bookstore, Lin Fucheng's official pressure It is not convenient for people to protest at this time.
"Is the court too harsh on the virtuous and wealthy gentry in the countryside?" Wang Dexin, the Wang family of Zhangqiu, met with Lin Fucheng for the second time. The last time he was defeated in despair and ran away in embarrassment. After meeting Lin Fucheng for the first time, Wang Dexin began to explain his views.
"Extremely harsh punishment." Lin Fucheng agreed with Wang Dexin's point of view. Great prisons have been raised many times in the Ming Dynasty. This time, in the case of occupying official land, another group of rural gentry and gentry are about to be imprisoned. This time again Once, how can Daming's butcher knife stop falling?
"Oh? Master Lin agrees with my idea?" Wang Dexin immediately became wary. Lin Fucheng's approval is not so easy to accept. What Lin Fucheng is best at is using your opinions as a basis for opposition. This is not the first time Lin Fucheng has done this.
Lin Fucheng looked at Wang Dexin and said: "What the court did was just to make the meat-eaters of the Ming Dynasty give up their contentment. How to describe this kind of contentment concisely? Two words to collect rent. "
"If you can't change your idea of collecting rent and only think about collecting rent, you will naturally be eliminated by the general trend. The general trend has changed, and people must also change, just like the white moths around the Xishan Coal Bureau. Devoured by natural enemies."
"This is natural selection, survival of the fittest."
Wang Dexin thought about these words seriously and said sincerely: "I would like to be taught, so it is like this."
When the Ming Dynasty discussed the transformation of production relations in historical turning points, it was always discussed from the perspective of poor people and coolies, and no one ever guided the powerful, right-wing, rural, virtuous and gentry on how to turn around. They became the Wanli of the Ming Dynasty. The villains of the New Deal seemed to be the ones who had to be eliminated.
Although the Ming Dynasty did not rule with the scholar-bureaucrats, the virtuous rural gentry also helped the Ming Dynasty maintain its rule for more than two hundred years. The emperor's eyes never saw the powerful right-wingers and the virtuous gentry.
Wang Dexin's family belongs to a famous family that has been around for hundreds of years. He said with emotion: "We are all subjects of the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty's subjects. Your Majesty always looks at the poor and coolies. Shouldn't you also look at them?" Xiang Shi wants Xiang Xian to tell us what we should do. He raises the butcher's knife again and again and kills people one after another. The Wanli Reform has a price, so just let Shi Yao and Xiang Xian bear it? "< br>
“Alas.”
Wang Dexin was extremely uneasy about the change in the direction of the Ming Dynasty, as if a knife was about to fall on his head at any time.
"Then can you abide by the law?" Lin Fucheng asked with a smile.
"Others don't dare to say it, but our family can." Wang Dexin is still confident about this. Their family is timid and extremely worried about breaking the law.
Lin Fucheng asked with a smile: "Then why are you worried?"
"This is true for people throughout their lives, as well as for grass and trees in spring and autumn. It's like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat." Wang Dexin answered On this issue, even if you abide by the law, you still have to worry about your status declining.
Lin Fucheng nodded and said: "Then the prerequisite for change is met."
"Stop thinking about collecting rent. Production relations are changing, and your ideas must also change. I am talking about collecting rent. , it is not simply the rent of acres of land. You should not understand it in a narrow sense. What I am saying is not to think about collecting rent. It is a new production relationship and you must give up the idea of collecting rent.”
No change. Thoughts change people, this is true in official circles, and it is also true with powerful local sages.
"I would like to hear the details." Wang Dexin was overjoyed.
Wang Qian also looked at Lin Fucheng with curiosity, Master Lin was still outputting! And there’s a lot of wisdom! As expected, this liberal master still has something in his stomach!
Lin Fucheng thought for a while and said: "Your family has three thousand acres of land and has ownership of the means of production. You can't grow it yourself, so you rent out the use rights and recruit long-term and short-term tenants to collect rent. This is rent collection. , This kind of thinking must be changed. Don’t turn all business into rent collection. When it snows, you will think about raising the price of coal, rice and grain. This kind of mentality is absolutely unacceptable.”
“All wealth. They all originate from land, land is the mother of wealth, and labor is the father of wealth. To fight, to rob, to possess, to develop. "
Lin Fucheng elaborated on his own meaning, collecting rent is a very important thing. Simple, efficient, low-risk and high-yield asset growth, what is the point of focusing on the three-thirds of an acre of Ming Dynasty? With so much land, acres, and minerals overseas, can the imperial court occupy it? Go out and take possession, rather than enclosing the land to collect rent.
Under the torrent of the times, winning a pioneering lord is a first-class good deed.
Don’t turn any business into rent collection, this is Lin Fucheng’s idea, or to put it more simply and understandably, it is to make the cake bigger, instead of just focusing on the small cake. I cut the cake with my knife, thinking of cutting more cakes, but there wasn't much left, so I kept snatching them back and forth, which made the internal friction even more serious.
Wang Qian realized something after listening to it. Although Lin Fucheng didn’t have much money, the views he put forward did have something to offer!
How did Wang Chonggu change from an arrogant minister to the second minister of the Ming Dynasty?
The magnificent turn is that Wang Chonggu advocates more material things. All his new policies are based on this basic proposition. Therefore, Wang Chonggu has been making the cake bigger. Wang Chonggu, who gave up the idea of rent collection, obtained the holy favor. .
There are many beautiful things in the world worth cherishing.
After Wang Qian called the pen masters to have dinner together, he took everyone to the Woolen Official Factory. There was a 16-horsepower steam engine that had just been built, which was equivalent to the work of forty-eight horses every day. In Wang Qian's eyes, this is the beauty of the world.
Compared with some tempered animals, steam engines only need regular maintenance and can be used for a long time.
Wang Qian said to everyone: "In the room behind us, there is a sixteen-horsepower iron horse. This is beautiful. It has a frightening price, 2515 taels of silver, that is The price of each horse is 157 taels of silver! I know someone is going to ask. One rooster horse is only 6 taels of silver. Even if it is equivalent to three rooster horses, it is only 18 taels of silver. Isn’t this nonsense at the Imperial Palace?”
"Wang Yushi, this price is really unacceptable." Wang Dexin has always been curious about what a steam engine looks like? After hearing the price and doing some calculations, I realized that it was not a good deal and I immediately turned away.
There is almost no difference between an iron horse and a real horse. One eats coal and the other eats grass. One needs a craftsman and the other needs a groom. The horse can also work day and night without rest.
The price of each horsepower is as high as 157 silver. Is this considered a good thing?
"Yes, that's right! A sixteen-horsepower iron horse is so expensive. It seems to be a tool for making money, so let us use this terrible thing!" Wang Qian smiled He said: "This is Shengping No. 2. The previous Shengping No. 1 only had 7.5 horsepower. Do you know how much it costs? Each horse costs up to 400 silver! I'm talking about the cost, not the selling price."
< br>"Have you discovered anything?"
Lin Fucheng was stunned for a moment and said: "After one iteration, the cost of each horsepower is declining rapidly. What if it is the next generation, and what about the next generation? Incredible.”
Wang Qian nodded and said: "That's right. The goal of the Gewuyuan is: the price of low-horsepower iron horses should be reduced to 40 silver per horse, and the price of high-horsepower iron horses should be reduced to 120 silver per horse. When the price of a horse reaches this range, it will be widely accepted.”
The higher the horse power, the more expensive each horse will be. This is inevitable. The price of a low horse horse is 40 silver. The price of a high-horsepower iron horse is 120 silver each, which is a widely acceptable price range, because the maintenance of horses is more difficult than that of iron horses. Cows and horses also have tempers, and they also need to eat food, and there are also the costs of production sites, etc. .
"Unfortunately, even if the cost has been reduced to this point, Tiema still has no chance to meet you, but it is closely related to you." Wang Qian's words were somewhat understated. After describing a grand blueprint, Tell everyone that this grand blueprint has nothing to do with everyone.
Wang Qian explained: "Because the cost has been reduced to forty silver per horse, ten-horsepower and thirty-horsepower iron horses will also be used in mines, Chidao, and government factories instead of being sold to the private sector. This It’s cruel, but it is true, but it is closely related to everyone, because the increase in transportation capacity has made Ming Dynasty’s business transactions more frequent and materials richer, and everyone’s life will change.”
Just like Wu. Oversea ships and fast sailing ships have nothing to do with most people, and they are not even open to private trade. These things seem to have nothing to do with ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty, but they are universal connections in society, and fast sailing ships are important to everyone in the Ming Dynasty. Usefully, this is an issue that has been discussed in public and private discussions and is no longer discussed.
Wang Qian led people to the boiler room. The roar of the steam engine was coming. High-pressure steam spurted out from the pressure relief valve, making a high-pitched whistle. Two craftsmen maintained this huge machine. The machine did not pursue miniaturization excessively. The flywheel roared and drove the curved rod to move rapidly, making a clanging sound, and some mechanical whistling wind sounds.
Everything seemed so orderly, and the mechanical beauty of violence appeared directly in front of all the pens.
This is not a manual workshop, this is the first mechanical workshop of Yongding Woolen Factory. It has sixteen horsepower and can drive two looms, and each loom only requires three weavers. It can produce more than 300 pieces of woolen wool every day. The stable and continuous power is a huge change for the manufacturing industry.
Wang Qian closed his eyes and listened to all the sounds. In his opinion, these sounds were the sounds of silver colliding. He spent all his wealth on Suiyuan Chidao.
“This is the pressure relief valve. When needed, you only need to pull it gently to open the safety valve on the boiler and reduce the air pressure in the boiler to a safe standard. In fact, this is a safe and redundant design made by the Royal Academy of Sciences, which has never been used, but requires regular maintenance." Wang Qian began to introduce many new designs of the Shengping No. 2 steam engine.
Safety design is a concept that is completely beyond the times. Unlike the crazy pursuit of profits by businessmen, the design of the Royal Palace Museum is always a bit redundant. In the view of Dr. Wu Jing, Shengping No. 2 has these fourteen safety redundancies. It has indeed increased the cost, but compared to the harm caused by the explosion, as long as these fourteen points take effect once, it will be a huge profit.
Removing these fourteen safety redundant designs can indeed reduce some costs, but the price will be unsafe production.
It takes about half an hour to depressurize, inspect and supercharge, but it takes several months to build a fully mechanical workshop.
Wang Qian introduced in detail the changes in Shengping No. 2. The inner wall of the cylinder is smoother, making the piston work smoother, improving thermal efficiency, and increasing the service life. Shengping No. 1 is usable, and Shengping No. 2 is good. How to increase horsepower while reducing costs is the goal of the Royal Gakuin Academy.
Wang Qian stood in front of the huge machinery and said loudly: "Shengping No. 3, a 30-horsepower iron horse, has begun test runs. It will take about a year from test runs to small-scale mass production. , and the price of each thirty-horsepower horse is one hundred and twenty silver. If it is made into ten or sixteen low-horsepower iron horses, the price of each horse will be eighty silver."
"Bring it with you. Rattan hat! "A very loud voice suddenly sounded. It was obviously the most annoying person from the legal affairs office in the factory. The legal person did not understand the behavior of the craftsmen. Rattan hat was protecting safety, but everyone did not care. I like to wear it, and checking the wearing of the cane hat every day has become a daily routine in the legal office.
Today, a group of people came to the steam workshop. These people wore their cane hats crookedly, which made the patrol officers of the Legislative Affairs Office quite dissatisfied!
"I am Wang Qian!" Wang Qian said loudly. The patrol of the Legislative Affairs Office replied without any politeness: "Wang Cifu should also wear a cane hat when he comes!"
"Okay." Wang Qian chose to respect the work of the Legislative Affairs Office. , because Wang Chonggu also had to wear a rattan hat when he went to the official factory. This thing was of great use in the Xishan Coal Bureau, but it was not that important in the Yongding Woolen Factory. However, this was also the rigidity and rigidity of the official factory, and there were no flexible implementation standards.
After putting on the cane hat, the patrolman from the Legislative Affairs Office immediately changed his expression and said with a smile: "Wang Yushi, this is what the second assistant has repeatedly told me. You can just take it off and wait until you leave the workshop before picking it off."
"Easy to say, you're busy first. I'll take Bi Zheng and let's take a look at the iron horses of our factory." Wang Qian's attitude towards the craftsmen in the official factory was much better than his attitude toward Bi Zheng. He seemed quite polite. Bi Zheng is fine. Production, talking about words all day long, the craftsmen can produce countless worsted and woolen woolen goods every day.
Wang Qian, who is well versed in the second volume of Class Theory, knows very well that people of his own class are actually exploiting the fruits of the work of craftsmen, taking advantage of others' shortcomings and eating others' shortcomings, and others are enforcing the laws. Wang Qian Will not take the lead in destruction.
"Come on, we won't be in the way here anymore. Wang Yushi, you are busy, we are going elsewhere." The patrol from the Legislative Affairs Office continued the patrol with his people.
Wang Qian continued to introduce the steam engine. Its scientific name is steam engine, but its common name is iron horse. The craftsmen specially set up a machine god for the steam engine. When construction starts, they will pay homage to ensure smooth production. , named: Arctic Xuanling Dangmo Antarctic Red Flame Guangli Hongsheng Tianzun, abbreviated as: Water and Fire God.
“I don’t want to say anything about my strange power and chaotic spirit.” He straightened his pen and said with a frown.
Wang Qian said very rudely: "The craftsman is not a Confucian scholar."
"That makes sense." Bi Zheng was choked and speechless. It was indeed the case.
Wang Qian had finished speaking and it was time for a free visit. He arranged for a few craftsmen to introduce the tour, but Wang Qian was standing at the door of the factory. There were two images of the God of Water and Fire. One was Wang Chonggu. One is the King of De, Zhu Zaiyu. After Zhu Zaiyu was named King of De, the court painter specially painted a portrait of him. This portrait became the prototype of the God of Fire, and the latter two images are merging.
The behavior of the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty is actually very similar to that of Mohism, which follows the law of heaven and will, respecting heaven and serving ghosts (folk custom). The simple explanation is: there is a god three feet above the head.
Perhaps Mohism has never disappeared from this land, but it is no longer a prominent school, and its ideas still influence all aspects of the Ming Dynasty.
Let Bi Zheng learn about steam engines and explain the prospects of steam. This is part of the plan to tell the Iron Horse story well.
Suiyuan Chidao and Mining are still in debt. Before they can make large-scale profits, they need some stories to enhance their confidence.
Zhu Yijun is like a crow's mouth. In early November of the tenth year of Wanli, a blizzard started. The first one lasted for three days, and the snow had not yet melted. The second blizzard came quietly. The East City and West City were safe and sound, but several houses in the outer city and the attached country collapsed. Prime Minister Shen of Shuntian Prefecture always led firemen to rescue disasters and resettled the people to the official residence of Yangjiyuan. Zhu Yijun sent eunuchs to the official residence. , to ensure the normal supply of official housing.
The Xishan Coal Bureau cleared the snow on the road from Xishan to Marco Polo Bridge, so that the coal could reach the capital smoothly. After the snow was cleared, the price of coal fluctuated from 12 Wen per catty to 7 Wen every kilogram, some profiteers who hoarded goods lost money again.
Zhu Yijun originally planned to stop work on the two construction sites outside Deshengmen, the Ten Kings City and the Royal Institute of Technology projects, and wait for the snow to melt a little before continuing. However, according to reports from the Ministry of Industry, the snow has already Once the cleaning is complete, work can begin the next day.
Since Wang Chonggu dares to vouch for it in front of His Majesty, he is naturally confident. He is not talking nonsense. The money is already in place. Does the heavy snow matter?
On November 12, the tenth year of Wanli, Fan Yingqi was sent to Jiecuyuan. Unlike others who went to Jiecuyuan to make specimens, Fan Yingqi entered Jiecuyuan to detoxify. If he could successfully detoxify, Fan Yingqi can still live a safe life.
The chief medical officer of Jiecu Hospital pulled out two wisdom teeth for Fan Yingqi. Fan Yingqi had a total of four wisdom teeth, two of which were crooked on the same side. The pain was really painful, and it even caused a problem in opening the mouth. the point.
The Ming Dynasty Guantian occupation case kicked off in the twelfth lunar month of winter. For a whole month, prison cars continued to enter Beijing and arrived at the Ministry of Punishment Prison.
Wang Dexin's fears were not unfounded. The Ming Dynasty was indeed quite harsh on the powerful local gentry, and there was no beheading in the case of occupying official land, because in essence, it was an economic case that did not involve criminal matters or conspiracy. They rebelled, but there were still 64 officials who were sent to Suiyuan. This was exile. After being exiled to Suiyuan, if they did not do well, they would never be able to return to the hinterland.
As for what to do in Suiyuan, it depends on Pan Jixun's arrangements. Since the position of governor has been given, Pan Jixun can do whatever he wants.
Pan Jixun can cure both water and people.
Some powerful people were exiled to Luzon. It was said to be an exile, but more like a migration, because only the illegal gains were confiscated, and no further house searches were conducted.
Lin Fucheng’s judgment is extremely accurate. The Ming Dynasty and the Ming Emperor were not cruel and murderous, but intended to make the cake bigger and continued to move people to Ryukyu, Jilong, Luzon, and Old Port. This is what happened the concrete embodiment of an idea.
Wang Qian breathed a sigh of relief, because Lin Fucheng seemed to have given up on the chapter of officials forcing the people to rebel, and no longer stimulated the Ming court for the time being. Instead, he changed his direction and discussed freedom. He wrote an article A new article, although this one is borrowing from the past to satirize the present, but compared to the subject of officials forcing the people to rebel, it is nothing more than borrowing from the past to satirize the present.
This discussion is about: Kaiyuan Tianbao, the transition from prosperity to decline in the Tang Dynasty.
The Kaiyuan period when all nations came to congratulate it was an out-and-out prosperous age; the An-Shi Rebellion during the Tianbao period was an out-and-out hell on earth; the An-Shi Rebellion was undoubtedly the turning point of the Tang Dynasty. Lin Fucheng summarized the decline of the Tang Dynasty There are many reasons, but Lin Fucheng, from the perspective of free economy, described it as a chaos of the three clans.
This is a very novel point of view, because the mainstream scholar-officials still criticize Li Longji himself, especially the criticism of neglect of government. It seems that after Yang Guozhong entered the court, everything began to take a turn for the worse. Under the emperor, the emperor was greedy for pleasure, and the sycophants were overwhelmed by cholera, which eventually led to the outbreak of the Anshi Rebellion.
But Lin Fucheng started from another angle, starting from warlords, clan bosses and chaebols, and characterized the Anshi Rebellion as a merger of the three clans.
"Lin Fucheng knows how to find a way out for himself." Zhu Yijun read the first two paragraphs of the article and said to Feng Bao with a smile.
Lin Fucheng first stacked his own armor. The way he stacked his armor was very interesting, quoting Zhu Yuanzhang's sacred precepts from the Emperor Ming's ancestral precepts.
On the third day of September in the 10th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang said to the left prime minister Hu Weiyong: Those foolish kings of the previous generation always used the hanging of their clothes and the rule of inaction as an excuse to indulge their own selfish desires and absurd government affairs. , but everyone knows that in this world, there is always a time when you are busy first and then you can be virtuous. You must cherish every inch of time and sunshine, night clothes and sun food.
Zhu Yuanzhang's diligence is recognized by everyone. The donkeys in Mr. Bayi's family will give a thumbs up and say "cowhide" when they see it.
The Hongwu Dynasty had three dynasties every day, and the Wanli period only had three dynasties every day.
Lin Fucheng used the diligence of Emperor Taizu Gao as an example to explain that the Tang Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline, and Tang Xuanzong Li Longji's neglect of government bore unshirkable responsibility.
After Lin Fucheng folded his armor, he began to discuss his thoughts and talked about the root cause of the corruption of the Tang Dynasty's military system.
The imperial military system of the Tang Dynasty was completely destroyed during the Tianbao period and was changed to a military recruitment system. The biggest problem with the military recruitment system was that it was extremely expensive and the Tang court had no money to raise troops.
The complete destruction of the military system of the Tang Dynasty caused the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to completely lose control of the military power. The Anshi Rebellion was the result, and the eunuchs were able to depose and establish nine emperors in a row.
The corruption of the military system was the formation of chaebols and the counterattack of the powerful families against the Guanlong clan.
The aristocratic families formed de facto chaebols, controlling the means of production and social wealth. At this time, the chaebols had no sense of security at all, because the Guanlong Group was a clan, warlord, and chaebol all in one, and it was a supporter of Li Tang.
Only by destroying the military monopoly of the Guanlong clan, the rich families and other plutocrats will have a sense of security.
During the Kaiyuan period, the Guanlong clan became weaker after experiencing the Wu Zhou chaos and the Tang Dynasty. The plutocrats of the aristocratic families began to systematically destroy the foundation of the military system, that is, the land. After a lot of The annexation made the land highly concentrated in the hands of aristocratic families.
The government army system was ruined and the recruitment system rose.
In order to survive at this time, the Guanlong clan had no choice but to compromise with the aristocratic families. However, the Jiedushi envoys of various vassal towns formed substantial warlords after taking control of the three powers of military, government and finance.
The three lords, the chaebols and the warlords, merged into chaos, which is Lin Fucheng’s understanding of the Anshi Rebellion.
Lin Fucheng was talking about the Tang Dynasty. He changed the topic and started talking about the Ming Dynasty. After Lin Fucheng got Huang Gongzi's promise, his expression was very direct!
In the early years of Wanli, the Ming Dynasty experienced the terrible scene of the merger of the four clans. Compared with the three clans of the Tang Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty had more learned clans, which was the seat-master system.
After Ming Yingzong led the Ming army to a massive defeat at Tumubao during the Zhengtong period, Ming Dynasty began to turn from prosperity to decline. Wu Xun was killed in battle and had no successors, which also gave the chaebol an opportunity. The military system, that is, where the military garrison was located, was severely destroyed under the influence of the Xingwen, Jiwu and Rouyuan people, and a large number of official lands of the imperial court were lost.
Li Chengliang and Xuanda were both de facto warlords in vassal towns; and the academic lords of Zuoshi greatly weakened the administrative power of the Ming Dynasty; they were chaebols who had the power to control the means of production by the virtuous and wealthy rural gentry;
There are also clans and clans. The Ming Dynasty also had clans and famous families, such as the Confucius family in Yanzhou, the Yang family in Xindu, the Xu family in Songjiang, the Renhe Xia family, etc. Their lawlessness accelerated the decline of the Ming Dynasty and aroused civil unrest. , which greatly consumed the Ming Dynasty's national power.
If there is no way to save the situation, the Ming Dynasty will surely fall due to the chaos of the four clans.
This is Lin Fucheng’s cry by talking about Tang Xuanzong.
"Isn't Master Lin a liberal? Is he talking about freedom?" Zhu Yijun read the entire article, but after reading it for a long time, he still didn't see the connection with freedom.
Feng Bao said in surprise: "Your Majesty, Master Lin's point of view is very clear. Even the dullest minister can understand the relationship between Master Lin's magnificent article and freedom."
"What's the relationship?" Zhu Yijun said, holding the Xiaoyao Yiwen in his hand: "Does this article have anything to do with freedom?"
Feng Bao said with great confirmation: "Every word of Master Lin's words, Everyone is saying that Ming Dynasty is too free."
"Really? It seems to be true." Zhu Yijun read it again and was convinced that Feng Bao was right. His main focus was on the four clans. In the predicament of the merger and chaos, the Ming Dynasty did indeed die because of Li Zicheng's entry into Beijing, because of civil unrest, and because of the people's uprising, but it also died because of the merger of the four clans.
Da Ming is so free.
