Chapter 181 Analysis of all social strata in the world·Sparse!
While Hualun and the three were chatting, a memorial was delivered to Yingtian Mansion from hundreds of miles away.
At the same time.
A carriage is on its way back.
Fengtian Hall.
It's late afternoon.
Zhu Yuanzhang has not gone to bed yet. With the vacancies in four of the six ministerial books, the relevant political affairs have fallen to him alone. Even with Zhu Biao's help, Zhu Yuanzhang still has to deal with memorials until late at night every day.
Zhu Yuanzhang yawned, took a sip of strong tea, cheered up, and continued to review the memorial.
At this time.
The footsteps of thin ropes sounded outside the palace.
Although he didn't see who was coming, Zhu Yuanzhang knew from his steady steps that it was Zhu Biao who was coming.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not raise his head and said calmly: "We still have some memorials to deal with today. After we finish processing these memorials, we will go to rest. Don't rush us."
< br>“We know what we know.”
“We won’t tire ourselves out.”
“We cannot delay national affairs for even a moment.”
"If we are lazy for one day, we will have to deal with a lot more tomorrow. Day after day, these political affairs will not be dealt with. Then won't our world be in chaos? The officials in the court are waiting Let’s make arrangements.”
Zhu Biao entered the palace.
He bowed respectfully to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Father, I have come here tonight. In addition to trying to persuade my father to take a rest as soon as possible, I have other things to report."
"Speak! "Zhu Yuanzhang shook his sleeves, but his eyes were still on the memorial.
“Xia Zhibai sent a memorial.”
One word fell.
The palace suddenly became quiet.
Zhu Yuanzhang paused for a moment before continuing to write. He sneered: "Xia Zhibai? What did his memorial say? Could it be that he wanted us to transfer the Salt Transport Department's Did the officials arrest and kill him?"
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Zhu Biao said: "This is a memorial from my father"
"I dare not look."
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head, with a hint of suspicion in his eyes.
His eyes swept over Zhu Biao and said in a deep voice: "You are the prince, what can't you see? Do you really think we don't know about the things he does in private?"
“We feel the same as Ming Jing.”
“It’s just that in order to complete his task of unifying the northern salt market, he made a lot of promises to the second and third sons. These things We already knew it. Since the second child and the third child have agreed, what else can we say?”
"You not only have to watch, but you also have to watch carefully and carefully."
"Though these brothers of yours are all obedient on the surface, they have many evil ideas in their hearts. That is one of them. One after another, none of them are fuel-efficient. If you want to keep your younger brothers in line in the future, you have to understand everything they do."
"Only in this way will they be afraid of you. .”
“I will respect you!”
Zhu Yuanzhang gave a sincere lesson.
Zhu Biao smiled bitterly.
He knew that his father would be mistaken.
I thought Xia Zhibai’s memorial was about his contacts with the Northern Xinjiang vassal kings in the past six months, and the promises he made to his younger brothers in private, especially when he agreed to some requests that were too out of bounds. I worry that I will feel uneasy and worried about these things.
Father is trying to forgive himself.
But my father was wrong.
Zhu Biao lowered his head and looked at the memorial in his hand, feeling a little unable to grasp it. He said solemnly: "Father, you'd better see it for yourself. What Xia Zhibai wrote is not about his experience in northern Xinjiang, but about his experience in northern Xinjiang." Through traveling in northern Xinjiang, I made a summary of today’s social strata.”
“The name of this memorial——”
“Analysis of all strata of today’s society”< br>
"I did not lie."
"I really dare not read this memorial."
"Just reading the opening chapter, I feel chills all over and dare not continue reading."
"This memorial was written by Xia Zhibai to his father."
"My son is terrified."
Zhu Biao bowed and respectfully held the thick memorial in his hand forward.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
He looked deeply at Zhu Biao, with a look of seriousness and solemnity in his eyes.
He knew that his eldest son had a temper and did not like to lie, which could make Zhu Biao feel uneasy, which proved the importance of this memorial written by Xia Zhibai.
Zhu Yuanzhang put down his pen and glanced at Pu Gouer aside.
Pu Gouer understood immediately, carefully took the memorial, and respectfully placed it on Zhu Yuanzhang's desk.
Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and opened the memorial.
Just one glance.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel his spine straighten.
He closed the memorial and said, "Except for Biao'er, everyone else is leaving."
Pu Gou'er and other eunuchs serving around him quickly agreed and walked out of the palace quickly. When I went out, I didn't forget to ask the attendants around me.
Zhu Yuanzhang pressed his palm on the memorial, looked at Zhu Biao oppressively with a pair of tiger eyes, and asked: "Has anyone else seen this memorial?"
Zhu Biao shook his head.
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and said: "This Xia Zhibai is really lawless. Does he still want to redefine the world? A minister has thought about it for us and is still here to guide us and let us understand. If you get the right way, you will get a lot of help, but if you don't get the right way, you will get little help." Zhu Biao smiled bitterly.
My heart is also not peaceful.
It is true that he has not finished reading it, but just the beginning is enough to make people's pupils tremble.
Who are the enemies of Ming Dynasty? Who is Daming’s friend? !
This is the beginning!
When I saw this opening.
Zhu Biao knew that this memorial was unusual, and he quickly sent it over.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were cloudy and uncertain, and strong murderous intent flashed in his eyes. However, after hesitating for a long time, he still opened the memorial.
This memorial is very thick.
In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang would never read such memorials in person.
Only bachelors from the Hanlin Academy will be allowed to recite it.
But this one.
He had to see it for himself.
You can only see it yourself.
“Who is the enemy of Ming Dynasty? Who is the friend of Ming Dynasty!”
“This is a problem that Ming Dynasty must solve to achieve long-term peace and stability, and it is also a problem that Ming Dynasty must face and deal with. "
"Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, major cases have occurred repeatedly. From the initial empty seal case, the Hu Weiyong case, to the recent Guo Huan case, thousands of officials were investigated and punished each time, and the imperial court executed them. There are tens of thousands of traitors, but the actual results of the struggle are very little."
"The fundamental reason lies in your Majesty's appearance."
"Your Majesty has fallen into the ideological whirlpool of the old era. He cannot recognize who is the true friend of Ming Dynasty and who is the true enemy of Ming Dynasty. He cannot distinguish between good and bad, true and false. He only relies on killing, which is nothing but new. Old wine in a bottle deceives oneself and others. "
"If you want to identify the real enemies and friends, you must make a rough analysis of the various classes in today's society."
"What are the various classes in today's society? Like?”
“I couldn’t tell clearly before.”
“I didn’t know it either.”
"However, after more than nine months, walking in the mountains and rivers of northern Xinjiang, covering thousands of miles, meeting tens of thousands of people, I have a certain clear understanding of today's social classes."
"I am more and more aware of the shortcomings of the world."
"Everyone in the world has been deceived!"
"Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce cannot represent the world's classes at all."
>"The concept of using scholars, farmers, industry and commerce to be applied mechanically to the governance of the Ming Dynasty will only lead the world astray."
"Get to the root of it."
"The world's view of justice and benefit has undergone fundamental changes."
"From ancient times to the present, Chinese scholar-bureaucrats have always adhered to the principle of 'putting reading first, "Doing things is for the inferior", thinking that "agriculture, industry, and commerce" are all the studies of small people, and are designed for small people, and are not done by "big people". "
"Little people know that the world is dominated by small people. Majority. ”
“The majority should be the standard for business in the world”
"However, today's world knowledge has been seriously separated from the national economy and people's livelihood, and the ability of scholar-bureaucrats is simply not as good as the villains and barbarians they despise."
"Form is greater than meaning, and form is greater than content."
"Today's scholars, the officials who really govern, have been seriously divorced from reality, and their lives are also divorced from the people. These two 'disconnections' are destined to cause the world's society to be disconnected, and this disconnect has been around for a long time. In the past, The scholar-peasant-industrial-business class has collapsed due to this disconnection."
"China was the earliest civilized country with a long civilization. Since the Song Dynasty,"
"With the emergence of printing in the Eastern Han Dynasty, the world has changed. The difficulty of reading and literacy has been greatly reduced, and there are many scholars.”
"But a developed mind is accompanied by a decline in hands-on ability. The development of intelligence is also accompanied by the degradation of emotion and will. In terms of willpower, starting from the Han Dynasty, the scholar-bureaucrats in the Central Plains were degenerating step by step. By the Song Dynasty, they had already Not as good as the Yi Di."
"After the eighty-nine years of the Yuan Dynasty, today's scholars can no longer be called scholars."
"What they pursue is only the form of civilization. . ”
“Rather than substance”
“The result of neglecting the basics is to seek glory and disgrace.”
"The Qin and Han dynasties, the Sui and Tang aristocrats, these scholar-officials still have the integrity and persistence of mainstream scholars, but in the Yuan Dynasty and contemporary times, the world's scholar-officials are too far away from the past aristocrats, and they do not have the character to be called scholars. , they are just a group of landowners wearing the cloak of scholar-bureaucrats.”
“This group of people can only be called ‘gentry’!”
“The reason why the world has undergone such a big change is that. The papermaking and printing technology that appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and secondly, the cost of studying in the Song Dynasty dropped, which caused a large number of landlords at the bottom of society to master knowledge. With the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty, these landlords with knowledge have risen to the imperial court because of the turmoil in the world. ."
"Since the Song Dynasty, the class theory of scholars, farmers, industry and merchants has been on the verge of bankruptcy."
"With the brutal rule of the Yuan Dynasty, it has completely ended."
"However, the Ming Dynasty still follows the old system and still tries to govern the world with the methods of the past. This is doomed to be futile and it is doomed to be difficult to govern the world well."
"Because the people of the world have changed their views on justice and benefit. "
"In the past, the main reason that supported the class theory of 'scholars, farmers, industry and commerce' was: 'A gentleman means righteousness, and a villain means profit.' Nowadays, gentlemen do not talk about 'righteousness', and only focus on 'profit'. These 'gentlemen' are trying to make the 'villains' talk about 'righteousness' and not talk about 'profit'. "
"The principles have been completely reversed."
" Continuing to use the class theory of "gentry, peasants, industry and commerce" to govern the world will only continue to indulge these "gentry" and continue to oppress and exploit the "little people" at the bottom."
"How can the world be peaceful like this?"
"How can it last long?"
"If we want to truly achieve long-term peace and stability in the world, we must face up to the changes in the world."
>"Since the concept of righteousness and benefit has changed, then under the new concept of righteousness and benefit, we must start anew and set the rules for the world again."
"Today's concept of righteousness and benefit is dominated by 'profit'. Then continue to adhere to the principle of "profit", completely break the old and erroneous and confusing "scholars, peasants, industrialists and merchants" class in the world, directly use "profit" as the distinction, and divide it into a more straightforward bourgeoisie and proletariat. ”
