Chapter 643 The unprovoked revelation of the secret of the universe began when Emperor Xi painted it
Oda Nobunaga has been assassinated.
Zhu Yijun suddenly saw the shadow of Taoist master in Oda Nobunaga. Perhaps it was this endless assassination that finally made Taoist master completely despair, hid in Xiyuan, and became the emperor.
The daimyo of Japan continued to assassinate Oda Nobunaga for various goals. In fact, there was only one of these goals, which made Oda Nobunaga stop.
Oda Nobunaga’s Azuchi shogunate harmed the interests of most daimyo, because Oda Nobunaga has been implementing his policy of two citizens, one citizen from beginning to end, which Oda Nobunaga has always adhered to. That was the fundamental reason why he was assassinated.
The Japanese country is located in the Pacific Rim Orogenic Belt, with many mountains and little land. In addition, the Japanese country has eight million people, and the contradiction between the large population and the small land is particularly prominent; and because of the war, the production order has been seriously damaged. , grain output further declined; and the land of Japan was completely concentrated in the hands of major lords, which further aggravated the food crisis.
The daimyo, retainers, and samurai of Japan were all the ruling class. They did not pay taxes, which led to the shrinking of the tax base. No taxes could be collected from the ruling class, and wars required a large amount of food. In the end, This has resulted in the current situation of eight citizens and two citizens, or even nine citizens and one citizen.
To disrupt the distribution of food would be to kill the daimyo.
Oda Nobunaga's decree, "Two Publics, One Citizen", not only included the adjustment of tax rates, but also the redistribution of production means. Oda Nobunaga always wanted to concentrate the samurai in the city and the farmers. When they were released into the countryside, the samurai did not control the soil and existed as soldiers, while the peasants controlled the soil and provided it to the warriors to defend their homes.
This touches the interests of all daimyo.
"If Oda Nobunaga is willing to put down his decree, he can be a high-ranking, respected, and very safe shogun, just like Ashikaga Yoshiaki, the shogun." Zhu Yijun looked at Xu Wei's memorial in his hand , said with a complex expression.
Oda Nobunaga did not choose to give up his consistent opinions, but chose to intensify his efforts.
In Xu Wei's memorial, Oda Nobunaga was also exploring a better way to realize his idea that farmers control the soil.
Oda Nobunaga proposed the "Field and Soil Cooperative Combination Order", which unites individual farmers and centralizes their land holdings, based on villages. In just one month, Oda Nobunaga Over 300 track and field federations have been formed since long, and more than 30,000 people have joined the track and field federations. Above the federations, there are three federations, which are directly responsible to Oda Nobunaga.
Any landowner who owns more than one hectare of land will be wiped out directly.
But soon, Oda Nobunaga’s Land and Earth Collaboration Order went bankrupt because Shibata Katsuie, the leader of Oda Nobunaga’s retainers group, took the lead in opposing this order. Oda Nobunaga’s retainers group While the leader of the army opposed this decree, the samurai who had lost their land in vain began to take back their own land by force. Under the chaotic situation, Oda Nobunaga reluctantly announced the withdrawal of the land and soil coordination combination order.
In the Japanese country, farmers were not allowed to own any weapons, so samurai could easily take back their land and impose inhuman punishment on the farmers who dared to offend them.
This was undoubtedly a brave attempt, but it ended in failure. The assassination of Oda Nobunaga this time had a great relationship with the Tiantu Collaboration Order.
"Where did he learn this field and soil synergy combination order?" Zhu Yijun looked at this synergy combination order and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
"The military garrison, the official factories and the engineering regiments and camps." When Feng Baogang got the memorial, he felt familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he probably copied it from the Ming garrison.
The military garrison system of the Ming Dynasty has indeed been ruined. In the hinterland of the Ming Dynasty, it has long existed in name only. However, in the nine sides, the military garrison system is widespread, because the nine sides are all war zones and need soldiers.
Obviously Oda Nobunaga wanted to copy the homework of Taizu Emperor Gao, but he failed to understand it.
Zhu Yuanzhang's homework was not even understood by Zhu Yijun, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It was a daydream for him, a Japanese slave chief, to understand it.
Oda Nobunaga did not give up the Japanese version of the military garrison system. He appealed to the Nagasaki Governor's Office and the Governor's Office, hoping that it would be implemented by the Ming Dynasty, and the opinions given by the Nagasaki Governor's Office Yes, no.
The Nagasaki Governor's Office did not have the strength to implement decrees involving the redistribution of production means. Everything could only rely on Oda Nobunaga's own efforts.
Emperor Zhu of the Ming Dynasty approved Xu Wei's memorial and recognized the judgment and decision of Xu Wei and others.
Zhu Yijun picked up the second memorial, which came from Shen Shixing, governor of Songjiang.
"Huh?" Zhu Yijun sat up straight. There was a new situation in Songjiang Mansion. Facing the Ming Dynasty's economic exploration of collective ownership, the means of production and production tools were collectively owned by craftsmen, so Hao You gave the right answer. own way.
That is to make full use of the flying geese characteristics of Ming craftsmen. When the work is urgent, we recruit craftsmen widely, and when the work is not too urgent, we dismiss the craftsmen to achieve one goal, that is, the workshop cannot support Craftsmen, in order to circumvent the imperial court's exploration of notarized labor contracts and collective ownership economy.
I don’t have a single craftsman in my workshop. The court can’t ask me to notarize a non-existent labor contract.
This is actually learned from the farming production model. The landlord controls the acres of land and rents the acres to people without land, called tenants; during busy farming periods, those who hire laborers to harvest the crops for a short period of time are called day laborers; and those who hire people to work at home for a long period of time are called long-term laborers.
Obviously, now the workshop owners have turned the long-term workers in the workshops into short-term workers in order to avoid possible political risks.
“No, the poor coolies work for them and they pay them. The purpose of my implementation of this notarized labor contract is just to get something for their work. For the powerful and right-wing, paying them is just that. Is it difficult?" Zhu Yijun felt depressed.
Is Zhu Yijun demanding? Notarizing a labor contract gives equal legal status to meat eaters and producers in law, ensuring the execution of the labor contract, and getting paid for doing the work. Isn't this a matter of course?
The lesson from Hongyuan Dyeing House is enough. The craftsmen’s grievance is not about Yuan Shen coming in and out of the study apartment. Who cares about which girl Yuan Dashan will sleep on today? ! The resentment in the hearts of the craftsmen was because they were not paid their wages. It was Yuan Shen who was obviously rich but was not paid his wages.
The implementation of such a simple decree over and over again made Zhu Yijun feel bored and aroused a sense of hostility. All things were created to support the people, and the people had no good deeds to repay. Kill, kill, kill!
The parade method is still too mild.
"In the next chapter of Songjiang Mansion, anyone who dares to use his shortcomings to replace his longings will be considered as disobeying the imperial edict and his family property will be confiscated! He will be exiled to the border!" Zhu Yijun picked up the Zhubu and wrote the word "kill".
Replacing long-term workers with the name of short-term workers. In order to circumvent the law, all the houses were confiscated and the whole family was exiled to Java for oil refining.
There is not enough light oil in the Ming Dynasty, there is oil in Java, go to Java to refine the oil!
There is no doubt that this is a severe punishment, but Zhu Yijun's patience has been worn out by the powerful right-wingers. Sometimes, without the use of thunderous means, some government orders are ultimately a mirror image and a castle in the air.
"I obey the decree." Feng Bao took the memorial and sent it to the cabinet.
Zhang Juzheng, Wang Chonggu, Wang Guoguang, and Wan Shihe were all working in the cabinet. As soon as he received the memorial, Zhang Juzheng asked everyone to stop what they were doing.
"If you want to object, object now. If you can still refute it, the next chapter will be overturned when it comes to Liu Ke Lang, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Songjiang Prefecture." Zhang Juzheng circulated the memorial to the four cabinet ministers and said.
"I have no objection." After reading the memorial, Wan Shihe said angrily: "It's too much to bully! Even if I don't notarize a labor contract and refuse to pay the labor remuneration according to the contract, what can I do from the poor coolies? How much oil and water can be squeezed out!"
Wan Shihe was very angry. This is a resolution formed by the Wenhua Palace, which means that all the great ministers have recognized this decree. This does not follow the emperor's imperial edict. It was clearly a slap in the face of the courtiers!
"I have no objection." Wang Chonggu gave the answer after reading the memorial. He shook his head and said: "In Hongyuan Dyeing Factory, the craftsmen are all fighting for wages. This gang wants to be arrogant and insists on craftsmen. Do people know what it means to be rewarded for their hard work by twisting their heads and playing them with balls?”
“Your Majesty is doing this to please the powerful people and prevent the grievances in the hearts of the craftsmen from accumulating beyond control. In this situation, I’m afraid no one will end well.”
As the chief commander, Wang Chonggu has one attitude towards this matter: Your Majesty is kind-hearted.
It’s just nonsense. Poor coolies are naturally easy to bully, but they are not bullied like this. It would be derelict of duty if the court does not mediate the contradictions here.
"It's good to confiscate the house. It's just Hongyuan Dyeing House, which is still too little." Wang Guangguang said happily. Isn't this a pillow for sleep? When you are worried that the experimental samples are too small and have no reference significance, it is wonderful that the powerful right is willing to spend his own wealth as the price of system exploration.
Rebel if you can! The court of the Ming Dynasty is in Beiya. If you have the ability, come to Beiya!
"Then let it pass." Zhang Juzheng will not object, and his patience has been worn out. If the land-returning order is a government order that wastes no land, it is enough to object like this. You will get something for your work. As it should be, this is part of the rewards and punishments of faith.
It must be clearly understood that labor remuneration is not equal to the value of the craftsmen's production, but a part of the value left after peeling. The market price is not fair.
"This Daming Sect is really...sigh." Wan Shihe talked about the Daming Sect's pilgrimage. Nearly a month has passed since His Majesty agreed to open an opening. On August 10th, During the Mid-Autumn Festival, courtiers were required to work for only half a day to reunite with their families, but Wan Shihe had something to do.
His job is very simple, arranging tribute groups.
The Ming Dynasty had collected nearly one million taels of silver for the pilgrimage fee, and had to arrange it properly. It was a shame to get this million silver, so the Ming Dynasty also arranged for the pilgrim group to go to Nanya to see the big people. The glazed pagoda of Baoen Temple, then the pilgrim group took a fast boat from Songjiang Prefecture from south to north and arrived at Tianjin Wei.
The entire grand tour lasted only fifteen days, and Beiya was the last stop.
"Is there any difficulty?" Zhang Juzheng asked doubtfully.
"They are too fanatical." Wan Shihe expressed the difficulty very clearly. He said helplessly: "I'm afraid it is very different from the holy land in their minds."< br>
Wan Shihe finally understood why His Majesty felt that the Heavenly Kingdom was a curse, and even accused the Emperor, the master of the country, of being incompetent. He was willing to pay so much money, and was even willing to delay sea trade, but had to wait in Manila, Luzon, to pay tribute. Believers are all fanatical believers.
The greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
"Money cannot be refunded." Zhang Juzheng thought about it and said: "The money has gone into the internal funds. If you want to refund the money, you have to pay the internal funds. I will not refund it. I feel disappointed. In the future Don’t come again.”
Everyone you can deceive is one! One million silver, national funds and internal funds are already 50-50, and it is impossible to refund the money.
"Okay." Wan Shihe sighed, and in the next chapter the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple arranged the reception. This pilgrim group of twenty people paid a full one million Two pieces of silver for the pilgrimage fee!
There are a total of twenty merchant ships paying tribute. Only one person can be on each ship. He can go to the glazed pagoda of Dabaoen Temple in Nanya to pay homage and come to Beiya to meet the saint. The rest of the crew can only stay. In the Wanguo City in Songjiang Prefecture, you can at most go to Songjiang Prefecture to see the prosperity.
The Ming Dynasty is not perfect. On the contrary, the Ming Dynasty also has many problems. The believers in the pilgrimage group may be very disappointed.
The pilgrim group has arrived at Huitongguanyi in Tongzhou and is waiting for the official document from the Ministry of Rites before rushing from Tongzhou to stay at the Siyi Pavilion in Jingtang, waiting for the summons of His Majesty the Emperor.
Unlike the disappointment that Wan Shihe imagined, the believers in the pilgrimage group became even more fanatical after seeing the real Ming Dynasty. "We are the first people to set foot on the Holy Land." A woman in plain robes clenched her fists and said loudly: "We are the saints!"
This woman's name is Marion de Montmorency. This surname comes from the Duke of Montmorency, the lord of Donville, and her father is the current field marshal of France and the governor of Languedoc.
The glory of the family became precarious as the power of France declined. In the context of the great study tour in Europe and the West, Marion traveled to Lisbon and came into contact with the Ming Dynasty for the first time, and then became a The devout believers even paid a high price for it and asked the Portuguese captain to take her to the distant east.
“But what we see is not only prosperity, but also some dirty corners.” A believer said with a frown.
Marion immediately said loudly: "This is true! The theory of contradiction tells us that things are contradictory. If there is only a good side, it must be false!"
"You can say it Right!" This believer suddenly realized that he was so confused because he didn't understand the teachings deeply enough.
“Chinese people believe that true wisdom comes from heaven and earth, not from God!”
“The sun, moon, mountains and rivers have given enlightenment to our ancestors! Yin and Yang shape universal rules!”
"In the barbaric era, heaven and earth gradually revealed their mysteries to the wise Fuxi. After many days and nights of meditation, the incarnation of wisdom understood the innate Bagua from the sun, moon, mountains, rivers, yin and yang, and dusk. ! ”
“Yin and yang create two phenomena, two phenomena create four images, and four images create Bagua!”
With great excitement, Ma Liang tried her best to face all the fellow believers! Roaring, her face turned red, and she was so excited that even her eyes flashed with enthusiasm.
Gao Qiyu is proficient in Latin, and he can understand what Marion is saying. At this moment, Gao Qiyu feels that it is absurd and the things are so unreasonable that Gao Qiyu can't find any parallel in the long history of the Central Plains. Allusions and experiences to understand the scene before us.
As a Ming man, he is not as fanatical as Marion.
"What is Tai Chi? Tai Chi is the chaos before heaven and earth are divided, the silence before everything appears, and the beginning of everything."
"What is Liangyi? 1 Yin and Yang, the top is clear and the bottom is turbid, the top is yang (-), the bottom is yin (--), everything has yin and yang, they are opposite to each other, just like day and night, light and dark, cold and hot, strong and weak, movement and stillness, but And they are inseparable and inseparable as a whole! "
"What are the four images? When the sun is rising, the yang is above and the yin is below, it is Shaoyang; when the sun is in the sky, it is the sun when the two yangs are in the sky. When the sun sets, the yin is above and the yang is below, which is Shaoyin; when everything is lonely at night, it is Taiyin. "
"What a perfect pattern." Ma Liang stood in front of an exhibition board and pointed to the painting on the board. , marveling at the perfection of its graphics.
Gao Qiyu held a fan and kept fanning it. He was a Confucian scholar, not a Yin-Yang scholar. He also had a little knowledge of this. It turned out that in the teachings of the Daming Sect, the reincarnation of one day, It is the process of the formation of the four images.
Who knows how this Marion can understand such a complex and abstract thing so thoroughly.
As expected of a fanatical believer!
Gao Qiyu also understood at this moment why Wan Shihe would tell His Majesty the Emperor that the Ming Dynasty was powerless against the Ming Dynasty. Since Xu Fan created this legend, these believers have been constantly Complete this narrative and make the theory more complete. The more complete the theory, the more believers there will be.
"In your teachings of the Ming Sect, is Fuxi a human or a god?" Gao Qiyu interrupted Marion's enthusiastic explanation and asked about his confusion.
Marion said matter-of-factly: "Of course he is a human being, the incarnation of wisdom. Didn't I make it very clear? Real wisdom comes from heaven and earth, from nature."
Gao Qiyu said this The answer is quite satisfactory.
The unprovoked revelation of the secret of the universe began when Emperor Xi first painted it. It was the Confucian scholar’s understanding of Fuxi. Fuxi was the beginning of humanities, not the theory of gods and ghosts.
At least when Xu Fan explained Fuxi, he did not put Fuxi among the gods and ghosts. This is enough. Overall, the Ming Dynasty’s explanation of Fuxi and the emperor is in line with the Ming Dynasty. of traditional values.
Gao Qiyu then said: "Tonight, I will follow the officials of Honglu Temple to visit the Zhengya Bell and Drum Tower outside Donghua Gate. Today there will be Aoshan Lantern Festival. Tomorrow morning, I will wait for the emperor at Donghua Gate after the court meeting. Summon, okay, that’s it, I won’t disturb you anymore.”
Gao Qiyu briefly informed the itinerary and then chose to leave, leaving time for these believers, no matter whether their senses were good or bad. No refunds will be given.
With great anxiety, Ma Liang saw the Zhengya Bell and Drum Tower in the dusk. It stood there quietly, the second hand ticking with the autumn wind, and the minute hand pointed to ten. Second, the time signal at six o'clock in the afternoon began. After the bells on the Bell and Drum Tower rang six times, the officials of Honglu Temple took Ma Liang up to the Bell and Drum Tower to have a panoramic view of the Ming Dynasty Kyoto.
Marion didn’t know how to describe her mood. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, the orderly streets, the rows of houses, the temple fair celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the endless stream of light cars all made Marion feel like she was in another world. , at this moment, she was very sure that this was the Holy Land.
As usual, Zhu Yijun did not participate in the Aoshan fireworks during the Mid-Autumn Festival. He took Wang Yaozhuo to Wenhua Building, where he watched all the programs with a telescope. The next morning, the sun was shining brightly, and Zhu Yijun As always, he appeared in the Wenhua Hall, presided over the court meeting, and announced the pilgrim group headed by French Marion.
"Meet the supreme sect leader from all parts of Asia and Greater Asia, the human sword bearer assisted by wise ministers, the guardian of the order and glory of the far east, the prophet of the light and wisdom of the world, and His Majesty the Ming Emperor." Marion led a group of pilgrims for five walks. The great ceremony of bowing three times.
"Wenhua Hall can't accommodate so many people, please forgive me." Zhu Yijun stretched out his hands. He was very dissatisfied with these lengthy titles. The Ministry of Rites made drastic deletions before they were reduced to The emperor could barely accept it, after all, the other party had paid.
After the general translation, Marion stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is really funny, here is rich, everyone has a smile on their face, although their lives may be unsatisfactory. , but the eyes are still full of hope."
"Hope is such a luxurious word, but today, I saw it with my own eyes."
"You came from afar, and the Ming Dynasty is the master of the land. Friendship, the ocean is full of countless risks. Don't waste so much silver on unnecessary things in the future. This silver is enough for you to buy enough goods in Manila, Luzon, and bring them back to the West." Zhu Yijun said quite a lot. To be polite, I also say, don’t waste it like this anymore.
Marion suddenly realized something and asked with some confusion: "Did the humble servant of God notice that His Majesty, His Majesty, seems to be able to understand what we are saying without having to translate our words?"
"I know a little bit about Latin." Zhu Yijun did not let this misunderstanding expand and told Marion the truth. It would be a joke if Marion guessed that the emperor had some magical power of his mind. Ming Dynasty was always a secular person. The country, even the grassland, needs the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu, but the government does not recognize it and implements it secretly.
"Your great Majesty is indeed the embodiment of wisdom, so knowledgeable." Marion once again praised the emperor's erudition. There was no environment for using Latin in the Ming Dynasty, but His Majesty was able to listen without translation. Understand what they are saying.
Zhu Yijun was silent for a moment. His main purpose of learning Latin was to avoid being fooled by the Ming Dynasty's bureaucracy. In Marion's eyes, he became the embodiment of wisdom and erudition.
“We came from the distant West, and the hardships along the way were like the never-ending wind and waves on the ocean. But when the humble servant of God came to the Holy Land, in fact, deep in his heart, there was an unsolvable mystery. Doubts, please ask His Majesty to teach you, what kind of Ming Dynasty will we become?" Marion bowed his head again and asked the doubts deep in his heart during this trip.
Zhu Yijun looked at Ma Liang. When Li Zhi discussed the alienation of people by religion, he also mentioned that the other side shaped by religion is to explain one problem, destination.
Obviously, the Daming Sect's expansion is so fast that it is jaw-dropping. Because the reality on the other side exists, there is no need to fictionalize it, but the question of destination, that is, 'where to go', does not have a clear and clear answer. Clear answer.
"This question is difficult to answer, but I can still tell you part of the answer." Zhu Yijun thought for a long time and said: "Da Ming does not intend to be the overlord of the world. In fact, in my opinion, in Daming's opinion The four words "world hegemon" are a huge trap, a militaristic trap, a chore that requires paying a huge moral and moral cost."
"To become the world's hegemon, you have to spend a huge amount of silver. To maintain military hegemony and extend the tentacles of the empire to every corner of the world, it is necessary to lie and assassinate to eliminate opponents. This is a huge challenge to the traditional morality of the Ming Dynasty. "
The gathering of the Ming Dynasty. During the talks, a more precise definition of silver was given. All silver is the hard-earned money of the people.
Because there was no silver in the Ming Dynasty, all silver relied on overseas inflows, and all overseas inflows were exchanged for the goods produced by the people of the Ming Dynasty with their own hands. The hard-earned money of the people was used to maintain military hegemony and fan the flames of trouble everywhere. , It is irresponsible to the people to pick things up inside and outside to achieve the emperor's great achievements.
“Things that Ming Dynasty disagreed with became so costly that they were almost impossible to do. For example, Felipe II wanted to annex Portugal, but Ming Dynasty disagreed and provided help; Ming Dynasty agreed. If something happens, the price will become extremely low, so that it is easy to succeed. For example, Portugal wants to obtain the power to collect and distribute the goods of the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Yijun explained more clearly what the Ming Dynasty was going to do.
"The Ming Dynasty did not intend to become an empire on which the sun never sets? But the Ming Dynasty is already an empire on which the sun never sets. Portugal is a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. The King of Portugal was canonized by the Ming Emperor. Doesn't this mean that the sun will not set on the empire? Landing in the territory?" Marion didn't quite understand, and he expressed his doubts.
Zhu Yijun immediately replied: "It was an accident that King Antonio of Portugal accepted the canonization. It was because of his own efforts. I only provided some help. When Portugal did not need the help of the Ming Dynasty, maybe my imperial edict was against him. "The words are just a dispensable letter."
"In my opinion, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets is more of a curse. Ming Dynasty can use a cleaner method to get what it wants. Want something, not through bloody massacre, brutal slavery, greedy plunder.”
"Just like you, the Great Ming Sect, never sells indulgences. Everyone needs to be responsible for their own actions. It is not just buying two indulgences that can redeem sins."
Oda Nobunaga, as a Japanese countryman Strong man, Ming Dynasty never launched an assassination to get rid of Oda Nobunaga.
Portugal is in the diplomatic hierarchy of Ming Dynasty's vassal states (canonized states), tributary states, and friendly states. It is above the friendly states and on the edge of the tributary states, which is completely different from the vassal states.
Portugal is too far away. This special situation only appeared when there was no way out. Once Portugal got rid of the shadow of Spanish annexation, Ming Dynasty would no longer be important.
Zhu Yijun thinks so, and the Ministry of Rites also judges it so.
"Your Majesty is truly the incarnation of wisdom. These words are the greatest gain of the servant of God during this trip." After listening to the hadith attentively, Marion made a grand salute of five prostrations and three kowtows, solemnly said.
"Do you really understand?" Zhu Yijun spread his hands, a little helpless. In his own words, I am afraid that Marion has misunderstood again, and I don't know where he was thinking.
"Frugality, justice, justice, humility, prudence, honor, sincerity, mercy." Marion said loudly: "What the Supreme Majesty said is a collection of these eight words. This is the Daming Sect. The creed of believers.”
“From Your Majesty, I see the practice of these eight creeds. These eight creeds will become the light and beacon that illuminates the rest of my life. Likewise, for all believers. "
"Huh?" Zhu Yijun was stunned, leaning forward slightly and said doubtfully: "Do these eight words correspond to gossip?"
"Your Majesty's wisdom is as bright as the stars in the sky." Marion clearly realized again that your Majesty is indeed a wise man and he can guess right.
