Chapter 535: Cherishing Confucianism is hypocrisy
The ministers shout long live the emperor every day, long live the Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations, holy virtues are renewed day by day, holy government is daily managed, and peace is achieved for hundreds of millions of years.
How can any dynasty achieve peace for thousands of years? It's as unrealistic as people being able to live forever.
In fact, Zhu Yijun was very concerned about the book "Huan Tian Shu" written by Zhang Juzheng. The book "Huan Tian Shu" was Zhu Yijun's best plan for governing the country, but he could not implement it.
Throughout the dynasties, it was impossible to allocate the means of production in their later years. For example, Jia Sidao’s Gongtian Law is a typical example. Zhang Juzheng’s idea of returning farmland to clearing was actually the same idea as the Gongtian Law. The same thing is that they use money to buy land, and then the public land is rented.
When the system was formulated, the more beautiful the idea, the more unbelievable it was.
First of all, the process of the Ming Dynasty's silver hair began to be greedy. Everyone took advantage of it and made a lot of money. The money may not even flow to the place, and it has been supplemented at all levels. The hole in the Yamen.
The money cannot reach the place, and the land return order must be executed, so various bad checks must be used to redeem the acres. For example, Jia Sidao used Huizi, which is banknotes. To put it bluntly, it is forcibly confiscated.
During this confiscation process, the county government, government servants, etc. who actually implemented the decree would pay bribes to avoid losing money, but it was difficult for the poor coolies to make ends meet, let alone lose money. They paid bribes, so the confiscated acres must come from poor coolies, not from luxury households.
The 60,000 hectares of farmland hidden in Jiangxi and the Sichuan Qingzhang have been unable to advance are all due to this reason. The Qingzhang can only clarify the fields belonging to poor people and coolies, and the luxury households use various means to hide them.
Even if these fields are confiscated, can they really become part of the redistribution of production means?
When Lin Fucheng went to Baoding, what he saw was that the official land of the imperial court was leased at almost no cost, and then a new interest transfer relationship was formed. The official land did not play a role in resettling the refugees at all. Instead, it became a catalyst for civil unrest.
Therefore, the return of the land is still on the shelf, and the court officials have a tacit understanding and have not mentioned it. Only Wang Chonggu secretly used boats to divert 30,000 hectares of land, and Jiangxi hid the land, which was confiscated. Sixty thousand hectares. In the eleventh year of the Wanli Restoration, the Ming Dynasty collected less than 100,000 hectares of official land, which is incomparable to the more than 70% of official land in the early years of the Republic of China.
From the Northern Wei Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the land system included Yongye Tian and Kou Fen Tian. Kou Fen Tian was redistributed after death, but the Kou Fen Tian was never recovered after it was divided. The Ming Dynasty also had a similar system. Yu's system is called official land and civilian land. The corruption of the military garrison system and the encroachment of official land are highly consistent.
As for the two Song dynasties, there was no land system in the two Song dynasties.
The system design has room for redistributing the means of production, but it has not been implemented and implemented in all dynasties.
Cannot be executed.
The spring breeze of the eleventh year of Wanli slowly opened the gate of Gongyuan and blew all over the capital. However, the disturbing soot still hovered over the capital, carrying with it the sand and dust from outside the wall. With the sky and sun blocked out, the examination finally ended in full view of the public, and the intense grading began.
Zhu Yijun received Wang Chonggu's memorial, discussing the official factory group building and Lin Fucheng's curse. The official factory group building was bound to fail like the military garrison.
This curse tortured Wang Chonggu like a nightmare, and Wang Chonggu had to think about the possibility of this problem.
From the perspective of distribution, Zhang Juzheng once mentioned that if the downward distribution is less than 30%, the official, factory, and group structures will lose their vitality; if it is less than 10%, the official, factory, and group structures will fall apart, just like the military garrison.
The content discussed by Wang Chonggu is bound to fail.
This gives rise to a paradoxical logic, that is, when a transaction can be discussed in what form it will fail, these failures can be avoided, and the day of failure will come later, such as It is possible to discuss why the Ming Dynasty perished. Instead, the Ming Dynasty would avoid risks and prolong its life.
The Wanli Restoration and the Ming Dynasty's national power were booming. As a result, Hou Yuzhao, Lin Fucheng and others were pessimistic all day long. While they were annoying, there was nothing good they could do to them. After all, what they said was the truth.
The demise of the Ming Dynasty is an issue that can be discussed. Zhu Yijun allowed that the legacy of the old Zhu family will not last forever, and we can even discuss why it perished.
Good medicine is bitter in the mouth and good for the disease; honest advice is hard on the ears and good for the deeds.
In Wang Chonggu’s view, the biggest danger of the official factory comes from the upper level. If the superstructure of the official factory, that is, the management with technical background, falls below five achievements, it will be in danger. If it falls below three achievements, it will fall apart. Moreover, Wang Chonggu believes that , this danger is common to the officialdom, that is, if the proportion of cheap Confucians who have no practical experience and only know empty talk exceeds 50%, it will have a negative impact on the court's decision-making. If it exceeds 70%, the Ming Dynasty will die immediately.
Then Wang Chonggu came to a conclusion, that is: any group whose management exceeds 50% and is not from the grassroots can prepare for reorganization; if it exceeds 70%, it can be declared hopeless and wait to die.
The reason for this argument is that Wang Chonggu believes that the carrier of technology is people, not others.
This collective can be in any form, from a small handicraft workshop, to a large business gang, a trading house, to a court or a state, they are all common.
Wang Chonggu, whose family has been doing business for generations, summed up the three stages of collectives.
In the first stage, everything is waiting to be done. At the beginning of its establishment, people with technical backgrounds were the most vocal. Most of the management had technical backgrounds. On the contrary, they had little management talent and almost no financial system. A grass-roots team that eats meat together and drinks from a big bowl is the most likely to perish. Many private workshops failed in the first stage. They did not cultivate a sufficient number of craftsmen, resulting in insufficient productivity, closing down, and ending hastily.
The second stage, prosperity, is when the scale continues to expand, management systems, laws, and departments begin to improve, the financial system begins to improve, and personnel begins to show some redundancy. This is also the healthiest state. Because the management system is implemented, everyone's interests are protected under order, and the financial system ensures distribution, everything is full of vitality and everything is competing for development.
Yongding, Yongsheng, Xishan Coal Bureau, Songjiang Shipyard, and Nanyang Plantation are all in such a state now. The backbone of technical backgrounds still account for more than 50%, and the entire official factory is healthy. orderly development.
The third stage is to die but not freeze. The huge scale means that no matter how fast the propagation speed of destruction is, it will still take time. It will not collapse in an instant, and this time will be very long. This step is the most The salient feature is that it is profit-oriented. In the superstructure of this collective, less than 30% of managers have technical backgrounds, and they are mainly focused on the market.
Just like the Ming Dynasty at this time, the Wanli Restoration was already in its eleventh year, but in Wang Chonggu's view, it was still in the stage of subjugating the world, wandering on the edge of death.
In the three stages of conquering the world, sitting on the world and destroying the world, the proportion of mud-legged people born in the world has become a criterion to measure whether they will perish. The people responsible for decision-making do not understand technology, just like the highest decision-making of an army marching to fight. The marshal is as weird as not knowing anything about military affairs.
Zhu Yijun approved this memorial, and the next chapter is the Ministry of Rites.
The timing of Wang Chonggu's memorial is actually very sensitive, because it is the time when the examination papers are being marked.
Whether this should be used as a basis to interfere with the results of the general examination and distinguish the Jinshi family records based on their birthplace, immediately brewed a big wave of exaggeration in the capital, and discussions about this happened one after another.
Zhu Yijun once again went out in the name of the Penglai Huang family. Whether to use this as a standard for marriage has become a very hot topic in the capital. The Gongyuan closed the door to review the papers, and was unaware of the huge waves outside.
When the Gongyuan is grading, no matter what happens, no one else can enter. Even if you are seriously ill, you will be carried out of the Gongyuan and can no longer participate in the grading. Only the emperor's envoys can enter during this time, but the Ming Dynasty In the past two hundred years, there have been few cases of emperors arbitrarily interfering with the imperial examinations, so the examinations were not affected.
This time's public opinion is extremely strange. The great Ming Dynasty writers all support distinguishing Jinshi family members based on their birthplace.
Zhu Yijun became Mr. Huang again and came to Taibai Tower to watch the fun.
The imperial court has actually made a decision not to interfere arbitrarily with the imperial examination, that is, not to use top-down administrative power to interfere with the results of the imperial examination.
Instead, we adopt a bottom-up approach, invest more in education, let more people study, and make the official ecology healthier.
The people are not clear about the court's decision-making.
"They discussed and discussed, but there was no solution that could make sense." Zhu Yijun went to Taibai Tower to watch the excitement and listened to the discussions of various people. After listening for a long time, he could not find a solution that stood out to him. Come on, these people are indeed not as good as the courtiers. The courtiers at least came up with a method that was not the best and involved a huge investment, but it was workable.
It is true that students from poor coolie backgrounds will definitely be at a disadvantage in this competition, but once a student at a disadvantage wins the competition, his ability must be extremely outstanding and his conduct will not be the same. It's great to say that the promotion mechanism in the officialdom under the examination law will never screen out scum.
"What your Majesty said, if they had their way, they wouldn't sit here and discuss things, they would have sat in the Wenhua Hall." Wang Qian replied with a smile, not all people in the Wenhua Hall are good people.
Zhang Juzheng, Wang Chonggu, Wang Guoguang, Wan Shihe and others are not good people.
Zhang Juzheng's mind is smaller than a needle, and he must retaliate; Wang Chonggu has overstepped the sycophants in ancient times, and is still amassing wealth for the court. He is a sycophant and treacherous minister, and he is Yan Song of the Wanli Dynasty; Wang Guoguang was born in the Jin Party and relied on The Jin party climbed up to the Wenhua Palace step by step, stabbed the Jin people with backhands, and killed the Jin people without mercy; Wan Shi and Cuimei bent down to serve the powerful, and their bones were softer than wicker;
In general, Wanli In the eleven years of the cabinet, no matter which one of these four ministers, they are a dark presence in people's eyes. However, regardless of the personal character of these four ministers, their abilities are all top-notch and tyrannical.
The first and second richest young men in the capital of the Ming Dynasty were very interested in this lively scene of literati pulling their hair.
“It seems that there is no excitement to watch today.” Mr. Lezi Renhuang said quite disappointedly. There was no tension in the gathering of this group of people. They all talked politely, and they only had a superficial taste. , dare not talk about the government affairs in depth at all, and are not at all as brave as the humble Confucians during the Jiajing period. During the Jiajing period, the humble Confucians dared to go to Huangji Gate to visit the palace.
It’s very boring to pull my hair without pulling hard.
As soon as Zhu Yijun was about to leave, he heard a shout.
"You bastards! Now you can't even take the reputation of being hard-working and hard-working!" Lin Fucheng's shout came from a corner, and his voice was so loud that the entire Taibai Tower became silent. point.
Zhu Yijun stopped. Zhu Yijun had always highly recognized Lin Fucheng's fighting ability. Apparently, Lin Fucheng had quarreled with someone, and the quarrel was very deep, attracting the attention of most people.
Lin Fucheng rolled up his sleeves, furious, with fire in his eyes. He pointed at a Confucian scholar in front of him and said loudly: "It is hypocrisy to despise Confucianism!"
"You support the imperial court to distinguish the family members of Jinshi by their birthplace. Isn't it just to complain about the hardships of family background, and then tell how tough you are to get to the examination?! You are simply deceiving the world and stealing your reputation!" Zhu Yijun looked at the Confucian scholar opposite Lin Fucheng, Zhang Xigao In the second year of Wanli, he was promoted to the top three Jinshi. In the seventh year of Wanli, he was promoted from the magistrate of Dianbai County, Guangzhou to the magistrate. In the third year of Wanli, he entered the Jingtang and became the Sixth Section Gallery. This promotion was obviously abnormal. on the watch list.
"Isn't the excitement coming soon?" Wang Qian was also happy. He also came to see the excitement today. The court has already made a decision, and this kind of gathering will not affect the court. The formulation of political decrees and Wang Chonggu's memorials were not to interfere with the imperial examinations. He was just for the third-level school of the Engineer Regiment Camp.
Lin Fucheng scolded Zhang Xigao for cheating the world and stealing his reputation. This accusation was already very serious and very powerful.
Faced with Lin Fucheng's almost abusive attack, Zhang Xigao blushed, pointed at Lin Fucheng and clicked several times, and then said loudly: "This is simply insulting to gentlemen!"
"How can you be so polite! How can you insult such a polite person!" Lin Fucheng sneered and said, "You are all cheap Confucian people. We support distinguishing family members based on their origins. Don't you just think that they don't have much strength if they are from the bottom of the class? Are you sure?"
"The Ming Dynasty suffered from the disadvantages of academic circles. What you do today seems to support the poor and coolies, but it is actually just harboring evil intentions!"
Lin Fucheng opposes it! The reason for selecting Jinshi based on family background is that it will aggravate the spread of the seat-master system. The lack of personal freedom caused by the seat-master system is something that Lin Fucheng, a liberal, strongly opposes.
"Master Lin's statement is somewhat meaningful." Zhu Yijun expressed his approval of Lin Fucheng's point of view. The court's results of the court's discussion on Wang Chonggu's memorials were also similar. Rough and arrogant interference will not bring good results. As a result, it will be even worse, destroying the fairness of the trial and leading to further erosion of the situation in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Xigao became angry and said loudly: "Nonsense, groundless accusations! You Lin Fucheng, you have no sympathy for the poor coolies! If the imperial court can stipulate the quota for birth dependents, it will benefit the poor people all over the world. You are like this Isn’t it just to stir up public opinion because of my own unreliable opinions? ”
"You are the one who says that I am a deceiver and a thief of reputation. For the sake of your own opinions, you have no etiquette, justice or shame at all. You advocate for the sake of opinions. You are also opposed to a government order that benefits poor families. What are your intentions!"
"You can't see how good the Ming Dynasty is. It's not easy for a minister to bring up this injustice, but you keep talking about it!"
Zhang Xigao is a public official, and his fighting power, when he is not facing the emperor or authority, He was released, killed with one blow, and went straight to Lin Fucheng's life. Lin Fucheng was very critical of the current Ming Dynasty. He wrote several travel notes in a row, all of which exposed the bloody facts and pierced the flowers of the Ming Dynasty's New Deal.
It is better not to see the Ming Dynasty.
"Zhang Xigao is unwise." Zhu Yijun whispered to Wang Qian: "He is an official of the imperial court. If he went to Taibai Tower to talk to Lin Fucheng, he would be lowering his status and being scolded. It would not be worth the gain, regardless of Whatever Zhang Xigao says in the future, others will say that you have been scolded by Lin Fucheng."
As an official with official status, you should try your best to avoid appearing in such situations, even if it is to stir up public opinion and attract major media. The writers of the miscellaneous newspapers did it, and then there was equality. With this kind of personal end, Zhang Xigao would not have to mess around in the officialdom in the future. One sentence, "You have been scolded by Lin Fucheng, is enough for him to be ridiculed for the rest of his life."
Wang Qian said with a smile: "Isn't it true that pen writers can't scold Master Lin? Master Lin's other abilities aside, scolding others is really a first-class one."
Lin Fucheng was not angry or anxious when facing Zhang Xigao's counterattack. Instead, he took a steady sip of tea, showing his masterly style. He looked at Zhang Xigao and asked with a smile: "Look, you are anxious, what are you anxious about?" ? ”
“You also said that I was an insult to the dignified official of Liu Kelang, and it was disrespectful to the court to go out and curse in the streets.”
Zhang Xigao was choked hard. He didn't want to come, but he had to come. He had a mission, and it was his mission to clamor in support of distinguishing family members based on their birthplace. As a result, he met Lin Fucheng just as it caused a little stir.
Lin Fucheng stood up and said: "Talking back to today's matter, we don't need to expose others' shortcomings. Let's talk about whether the admission of Jinshi based on birth and the determination of quotas really benefits poor families? I'm afraid it can't be the case. I heard that Zhang Gai I once served as a county magistrate in Dianbai. I have no practical experience to talk about, but I know that once this door is opened, this poor family will probably never be able to get ahead."
"I am afraid that the powerful and right-wing people will swarm. Later, he used various means to seize the word "poor family", and even took the "poor family" on his own head, and then gained fame. This move did not benefit the poor family, but blocked their path to the imperial examination. , happened in Qingzhang, happened in false pretense, even happened in Dudu, wouldn't it happen in the word "Hanmen"
"You think so, Zhang Jishizhong"< br>
As soon as Lin Fucheng said this, everyone present frowned and became proud. These four Lin Fucheng were refined based on the scenes he saw.
The official land in Baoding Prefecture was occupied by an impersonator. How did Wang Duxing, the Wang family from Yaoshan, lease 7,000 hectares of land from Baoding Prefecture? That’s 700,000 acres!
This kind of phenomenon is common in the Qing Dynasty, fake prestige, renting official land, etc. The result of the imperial court's family registration is that it is no longer possible for poor families to take the imperial examination, because the poor families have been rejected .
"Master Lin and the rest of us all understand, what does this ultimatum mean?" Zhu Yijun asked doubtfully. Lin Fucheng actually still had something in his stomach. He had to shake it out and let him pour it out.
When Lin Fucheng saw that it was Wang Qian and Mr. Huang, he hurriedly said: "It turns out that it was Mr. Huang and Mr. Wang who disrespected him in person. They were patronizing and arguing with him. A few days ago, I heard that someone pretended to be Mr. Huang. While walking in the capital, someone was arrested. Is Mr. Huang okay?"
Lin Fucheng was deeply touched by the fact that Mr. Huang's hands and eyes could reach the sky. He was a doctor of the Five Classics of Gewu Academy and a fifth-level official. , fell from the sky and fell on him like this. Doctors of the Five Classics ignored the general affairs. This was a rule set by the Institute of Science and Technology at the beginning of its founding. Dog fights in the court had nothing to do with Doctors of the Five Classics.
A doctor of the Five Classics who transcends the Five Elements and is not tainted by the world at all is also a very special existence in the officialdom.
Lin Fucheng never dared to admit this identity, so he was the owner of Guangde Bookstore and engaged in pen writing activities in a leisurely and anecdotal manner.
“Ah, it’s okay, it’s okay.” Zhu Yijun laughed, without going into details. Pretending to be someone else and being approached by the real owner is not something that should be made public. He smiled and asked, “What do you mean by this ultimatum?” What's going on?"
Lin Fucheng stopped showing off and hurriedly said: "When the Northern and Southern Song Dynasties were communicating, Song Huizong liked Taoism and taught Taojun, and then issued a decree that Taoist priests and monks could be exempted from paying ultimatums. The ultimatum of our dynasty can also be exempted from the pain of labor and labor. In the future, the ultimatum will be more valuable than paper money. However, in the first year of Jingtai, Emperor Jing issued an order to transfer the imperial ultimatum to Master Yang. It was sent to the outside of the Great Wall to teach the Wala people, and then the distribution of ultimatums was banned."
"The reason why ultimatums were banned was because the monks in the temple could not get the ultimatums, and the sages and gentry outside were unable to get them. , everyone has an ultimatum, which is really strange. Later, after the confinement, this kind of strange thing no longer exists."
Lin Fucheng did not explain it clearly in detail, but Zhu Yijun still understood. What is going on.
It is said that during the Zhengtong period, the Yingzong of Ming Dynasty canonized a national preceptor, Zen Master Yang of Buddhism. After the civil war and natural disasters, Emperor Jing Zhu Qiyu sent Zen Master Yang to Wala to reform the Wala people. The logic is very simple : If there really are gods and ghosts, then Zen Master Yang will definitely be able to use Buddhism to influence the Wala people.
After that, the Ming Dynasty banned Dudu. It would be great to have a Dudu in a temple in the Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Jing Zhu Qiyu’s decree prohibiting ultimatums has been implemented. This is also a manifestation of the rigidity of the system. Although it is not clear why such a strange ban was enacted, it is better to implement it. It is roughly similar to Therefore, if you don't have the ability, don't modify Shishan code, otherwise it won't run and you will be blinded.
Zhu Qiyu is not a fool, he is even very capable. He can wipe the butt of Zhu Qizhen, the Mingbao Sect who caused a huge disaster. He cannot do it without any ability, but Zhu Qiyu is a good person. He Ignoring the cruelty of political struggle, after Zhu Mingmen returned to Beijing, he clearly had the opportunity to kill the Golden Knife Case, but he was not willing to do it.
A good man cannot be an emperor.
The assistant minister is not a good person, and Zhu Yijun is not a good person. In only the eleventh year of Wanli, several large prisons were set up, and four major cases in Wanli were set off, including the Zhang Siwei case, the Yanzhou Confucius case, and the Xindu case. In the Yang case and the Xu Jie case, hundreds of heads rolled to the ground at every turn. Before the wedding, he still watched the execution at the Meridian Gate. He liked to use cruel officials like Yin Zhengmao, Ling Yunyi, and Luo Bingliang. This was also Zhu Yijun's first label, a tyrant. Then there is stinginess.
"You guys keep going." Zhu Yijun waved his hand. After he figured out what Lin Fucheng was talking about, he signaled Lin Fucheng to continue cursing.
Zhu Yili didn't like to see literati pulling their hair. He liked to learn foreign languages at Prince Lu's Mansion.
"Zhang Xigao, what do you think we can do to prevent Zhang Xigao from being crowned?" Lin Fucheng looked at Zhang Xigao and asked Zhang Xigao. Zhang Xigao had served in the local area and had practical experience. This common phenomenon cannot be tolerated by him. Rampant and messy.
"Humph, you are a country man, I have nothing to say to you! This is a major event that will be reported to Wen Tian. What should I tell you? Didn't you tell me? I am an official of the imperial court." Zhang Xigao frowned. Frowning, he realized that he had fallen into a trap.
This question cannot be answered. It is untenable to say that Zhang Guan and Li Dai are common. It is untenable to support the distinction of family members by birth. If it does not exist, he is a cheap Confucian who ignores the facts, so Zhang Xigao chose to use his official status as an official. Pressing people, he is a seventh-grade official, and Lin Fucheng is not even a candidate for Jinshi.
When the rules are favorable, talk about the rules. When the facts are favorable, talk about the facts. This is nothing more than being contemptuous of Confucianism.
"Isn't it just an official body? No one is the same. I'm two levels older than you. Look what this is?" Lin Fucheng not only did not give up the pursuit, but instead took out his fifth-grade Doctor of the Five Classics. The official body tooth card opened the red silk cloth on it and showed it.
"Huh?!" Zhang Xigao took a few steps and snatched the tooth card with his hands. His eyes widened when he saw the words of Doctor of the Five Classics. It turned out to be a real official body. He, Zhang Xigao, had been crawling for nine years. Only when he got to the seventh-grade palace, a country man whom he despised took out his fifth-grade official body.
"Fake! It's definitely fake!" Zhang Xigao shouted angrily.
"In full view of the public, I faked my official status. Do you think the court's guillotine is not sharp? Bring it here, don't break it! I only have one piece." Lin Fucheng took it over with a distressed look on his face. After taking the tooth tag and making sure it was not broken, he put it away with red silk cloth. In his heart, this tooth tag was very precious, although he had never used it.
Zhu Yijun said cheerfully: "It's okay. If it breaks, I'll get another one for you. It's easy to get a dental plaque from the General's Mansion."
Master Huang is arrogant and domineering, in front of everyone The interview made it clear that this piece of official body tooth plaque came from the general's palace. If Zhang Xigao was upright, he should accuse Mr. Huang of protecting a wealthy family and giving it to him privately.
But Zhang Xigao didn't. He blushed, flicked his sleeves, and chose to leave. This kind of angrily leaving means admitting defeat. Zhang Xigao really can't afford to offend the General's Mansion. Let alone Zhang Xigao, Manchao Neither civil or military officials dared to offend, not because they were afraid of Qi Jiguang. Qi Jiguang had a good-natured temperament when he returned to Beijing and could be bullied by anyone. The main reason was that he was afraid of the emperor's unreasonable and unreasonable protection.
The reputation of the General's Mansion was once again ruined by Mr. Huang, and Qi Jiguang was also happy to see the result. He was a general who controlled an army of one hundred thousand, and his reputation was too good, which was not good for him. On the contrary, he was arrogant and domineering, and was not Only when everyone agrees will it not arouse fear, fear in all aspects.
