Chapter 46 North Korean guests
In Wang Guoshou's eyes, he thought Chongzhen was a god or a monster. Yes, who said that Chongzhen held a trump card like "Treasure Book of Fortune" in his hand! "Trust the Emperor and make a lot of money", which is a bit like the slogan of rats in later generations, but so far, Chongzhen's fingers have made money, and the golden fingers are not false, so this slogan will not be missed in his lifetime. Moreover, there is a person like Wang Chengen who is considered a monster even in the 21st century, and the industrial revolution is not far away. The luxurious lineup of Chongzhen, Wang Chengen and Princess Changping may be no less than the gods in people's minds in the 17th century!
Princess Changping was free to write economic books, such as "The Wealth of Nations", "The Bible of Games", and "Capital". If the clever people like the Ming Dynasty mastered it, they would not know what they would perform on this basis.
Chongzhen was intrigued today, so he said: "Mr. Wang doesn't have to say anything about the ways of gods and immortals. If you believe in the words of gods and immortals, you will have them, and if you don't believe in them, you will not. Mr. Du, if you have any opinions, you may as well say that you should not hide your own personal information in front of me."
"The emperor asked the students to speak, and the students also tried to argue." Then he said:
"What Student Wang said is reasonable, but it only talks about one side of the matter, but the other side has not been mentioned. Since ancient times, those who "speak righteousness but not profit" have been the result of emphasis on education. Speaking profit publicly is a double-edged sword, just because the word "profit" is the beginning. Once this gate is opened, it is like a flood and a beast. If one is not good, the momentum will break the dam of benevolence, righteousness and morality. Those in power are ashamed of being profitable, and those who are in power are afraid of this! As for the sudden implementation of this strategy, students think there are two reasons. One is that since the Ming Dynasty, the dam of benevolence, righteousness and morality has long collapsed.
Failure. It is the appearance of gold and jade, but it is actually broken. All the upper and lower levels are profit-making. Benevolence, righteousness and morality are just a cover-up, but it is an official article. Therefore, on the surface, everyone speaks righteousness but not profit, but in fact it cannot stop the origin of profit. Therefore, it is better to simply remove the fig leaf and speak out about the benefits. In this section, Student Wang mentioned just now, and the students said that they are really moved by the fierce pursuit of profit. Although the Tao of the saints educates people's hearts, material desires are still rampant in the world. I am really sighing!”
Du Jun was obviously a little immersed in the show, showing his true nature, consciously losing his composure, and continued to say now:
"The student thinks that the other side of speaking profit is, after speaking profit, how can we introduce the world's turbulent tide of profit to the right path? If we only talk about profit but cannot show where the profit is, and the words are favorable but we don't get it, then what is the benefit of saying profit! It is better to "talk about righteousness but not profit" to educate. Therefore, this is a dangerous game, and we must have a suitable way to gain profit, otherwise speaking profit will only encourage tricks to seize the plunder, and the hearts of the world will only become more dangerous, and the people will be in no way! Fortunately, the emperor seems to have countless ways to make money, and the emperor could have made money exclusively, but the emperor is not alone, but to join hands with those who have money to make money. The world's wealth, guide the law, will benefit the country and the world. If the world's wealth has nowhere to make money, it is nothing more than being limited by mergers and mergers.
The benefits of land and usury can be said to be competing for profit with the people. Therefore, the emperor breaks the situation with profit, so that he can only use this dangerous chess with the people. "Increase profit with the people". This "increase" is not the "fight" but the "increase" of "increase". Compared with "fighting for profit with the people", it is a world of difference. If there are no various ways to make money, how can the emperor implement this strategy! Therefore, students admire the emperor for playing the dangerous chess, but after the danger, there are powerful moves, one move after another, and one link is linked, so that the wealth of the world can be used by the world, rather than the poorer and the richer will be richer. At least it can be foreseeable that the poor will be richer in the future, and the rich will be richer, and the world will be expected to be governed. This is the essence of the emperor's proposal of "common prosperity"!"
After hearing what Du Jun said, Chongzhen didn't expect that this nerd seemed like a fool, and he had a lot of trouble in his heart. He thought that reform and opening up in the future was also mixed with mud and sand. Although the economy developed, the result of the rampant materialism was also moral decline. As for the old lady's blackmailing benefactor, the scene of the old lady's blackmailing benefactor happening again and again. Once Pandora's box was opened, the devil "greed" was released, and there was no etiquette!
After hearing this, Chongzhen nodded repeatedly, turned his head to look at Qian Qianyi and said:
"Qian Aiqing, what are your opinions?"
"The old minister admired what Mr. Wang and Du said deeply. He might as well use the chess game to talk about the old minister's feelings. The old minister believes that the way of governing is similar to the chess game, and one must follow the trend. The ruling people implement new policies and policies based on good wishes, such as Wang Anshi's implementation of the Qingmiao Law, but the Qingmiao Law is distorted when it is implemented, which causes the new law to disturb the people and help greed. In this way, although there are good laws, if there is no response and faithful implementation of the grassroots, it may even be tyranny. Just like the essence of Go, it is to strive for the first move everywhere. The so-called first move means playing chess that the opponent will respond. The old minister When the emperor sets a piece of paper, the world has to respond, and the actions are all in the emperor's expectations. It is no exaggeration to say that it is in the order arranged by the emperor. Let's take a sample of sweet potato promotion. Looking back on the past, the same promotion of sweet potatoes was also promoted, but the thunder and rain were small, and most of them finally went through the motions. In this promotion, one was the short-term training class of the lecturer to directly promote county-level officials, and the other was the "pork stewed vermicelli" and "duck blood vermicelli soup" as bait. Under forced and temptation, the old minister asserted that sweet potatoes must be sown everywhere under the Ming Dynasty, and there was no such thing as before."
Chongzhen did not expect that Qian Qianyi, an old bureaucrat, could even explain the views of later generations of "Game Theory", and thought that the big names of the Ming Dynasty were really not a fuel-efficient lamp! However, Qian Qianyi did not know that the natural disasters in the next three years, and the food shortage that originated from a grain strategy mistake was later relied on a large plant of sweet potatoes to survive the food crisis. Chongzhen still remembers the buying of rice with sweet potatoes in the 1960s and 1970s. The Ming Dynasty is now in the biggest food crisis, and In addition to the sharp rise in grain, the economy was also depressed due to currency tightening. In this case, if the Ming Dynasty did not first solve the food crisis, there would be no way to talk about anything! Therefore, we must use sweet potatoes to overcome the food shortage. Qian Qianyi's first priority as the Minister of Works is to persuade farmers. In the workshop, Lord Qian was very dedicated and raised the great cause of growing grain to an unprecedented level. Even praising sweet potatoes like flowers is really hard for this elegant man.
Qian Qianyi was still feeling at the end of his heart, and then said:
"The emperor formed four major joint-stock companies, well, it seems that the future joint-stock companies are like this. They specially invited local gentry and prominent families to join forces. With these four major joint-stock companies to make profits, the gentry and business classes in other places also heard the news. These people can move. This shows that the emperor's plan of "common prosperity" will be successful. The old minister only saw that every time the emperor made a piece of the chess game, it was necessary to do so, so that the whole chess game will be played according to the emperor's tone. In this way, the chess game in the world is in control! The old minister does not want to flatter the emperor, but the old minister has long seen the way of being a king in ancient times, and the old minister has to accept it! I hope the emperor will not become arrogant because of the old minister's words, but he should only talk about gossip about chess. The old minister is stupid and wants to be a son of the emperor. No matter whether he has land or even used as a abandoned son, he will benefit the emperor's chess game, the old minister will have no regrets!"
After hearing Qian Qianyi's words, Chongzhen was very helpful. The value of a few lyrics of students could not compare with Qian's flattery. However, he realized in a flash that Qian's encouragement was good, and now he had no pride. He made a good country and country fragmented, so how could he be a little arrogant! He thought that he could only be a referee, look at this promising prospect! Being an emperor might be a fool. If he had achieved achievements in the future, he would be able to control things in small matters. If all kinds of vanity were inflated, he would not know if he would be foolish to the point of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang!
After a little clear-headed, he looked around the three of them and suddenly thought that North Korea's secret mission was about to come to Nanjing. You might as well listen to the opinions of those who were sitting, which could be considered as taking the staffing skills of the two students. So he said:
"I am considering taking Taiwan and aiding North Korea. Mr. Wang and Mr. Du might as well talk about their views."
Wang Youqing pondered for a moment and said:
"The students' intention is to take Taiwan first. This seems to be a chess game, but in fact this is a way to take the momentum and take the field. The reason for the field is to take the momentum is to train troops by taking Taiwan. The so-called cautious battle is to win in the first battle. After the victory, our new army's momentum will rise sharply, which can lay the foundation for future wars. Although North Korea seems to be the key points that both sides must fight, the Qing army is still missing at least one move, and it is impossible to treat it as a slow disaster. If you take action in a hurry here, if you do not invest heavy troops, you will not be sure of victory. However, if you invest heavy troops and get entangled in this, it will be very unfavorable to the emperor's overall situation. Therefore, the students think that you can ignore North Korea first, just aim at North Korea, and wait for the right time, and then make a zone."
When Du Jun heard this, he immediately retorted:
"Students think that North Korea is the urgent need for chess game, but taking Taiwan is the right time to slow down. How can we not fight for the urgent need for chess game? It is precisely because the Qing army's foundation in North Korea is unstable, which is a good opportunity for our Ming Dynasty to intervene, helping North Korea consolidate its foundation and cultivate its Yuan, and thinking that it will restore another base in Liaodong in the future. Even if Taiwan can be used as a training force, it is not inconsistent with intervening in North Korea. Students think that North Korea must intervene, but they also agree with what Wang said, that heavy troops should not be intervened at this time. Students think that they might as well submit a son as a test. In short, they must cooperate with support and actual support to stabilize the situation in North Korea until the situation in North Korea develops in the direction of hope. If possible, students are willing to go on a mission to North Korea, thinking of the forward driving force, laying the groundwork for future troops to go to North Korea and attack the Qing army."
Chongzhen turned his head to look at Qian Qianyi, and Qian immediately said:
"The old minister believes that what Du Jun said is reasonable, and North Korea should lay out some strength to pave the way for the future."
The next day, a North Korean merchant ship secretly arrived in Nanjing via the Yangtze River. It was called only Korean merchants along the way. It was said that there were new new things in Nanjing, so they came to do business. This time, it was the situation of North Korea that Chongzhen arrived in Nanjing, and there was a new hope. They secretly sent Song Shilie, who died in the Ming Dynasty, to meet the saint. The two beauties selected by the Korean royal family, and two maids were accompanied by discovering that Chongzhen now only had one imperial concubine, and the Korean monarch and ministers were also talking about their feelings! Since it was the beauty of the Korean king, a group of beauties first entered the palace, and the remaining Song Shilie and his party arranged in a secret house, waiting for Chongzhen to meet him three days later.
The Ming Dynasty Federation of Industry and Commerce is still preparing, and the chairman is still being elected! But it does not prevent Du Jun from becoming the first director of the Federation of Industry and Commerce. Based on the principle of using business to business, Qin Shilie and his party was accompanied throughout the process.
The next day, Du Jun led Song Shilie and his party to visit the Royal Club by two four-wheeled carriages. The roads were paved along the way, and the shock absorption of the four-wheeled carriages was now becoming more mature, so it was extremely comfortable to sit in the car. Song Shilie was not a person to enjoy, but he often touched the sofa seat cushion, which was quite amazing.
When he arrived at the Royal Club, the group pointed and was very curious about the flat and smooth concrete floor and the transparent crystal glass. When he arrived at the stock exchange, he saw the lively and busy watching the red and green numbers on the front trading cards. Du Jun actually had limited knowledge of stock trading, but it did not prevent him from joking about stock trading with these even less-understood overseas people, and Song Shilie and others seemed to understand it. However, Beijing's government bond trading is now fully known overseas. The people accompanying him asked if it was similar to the government bond trading. Du Jun had to vaguely say that, so the crowd left the place in a confused manner and continued to visit.
Then we arrived at the multi-purpose hall. The topic of the debate meeting today was "Can you be elected as the chairman of the Federation of Industry and Commerce by marrying a Japanese woman?" This was clearly aimed at Zheng Zhilong marrying a Japanese woman, and his implied intention was not worthy of being the chairman of the Federation of Industry and Commerce. The righteous side of the Communist Party of China of course pointed out that "the sea is embracing all rivers, and tolerating it is great." Since Gao Xianzhi, as a Goguryeo, could only be a general of the Tang Dynasty, Zheng Zhilong just married a Japanese woman, why couldn't he be the chairman? The opposition used the barbarian theory as a basis and said that he could not be elected. Witnessing this kind of verbal debate, North Korea was also very fierce in party struggles at that time. It was probably to learn from the Ming Dynasty. Du Jun and Song Shilie both smiled knowingly and then left.
When they arrived at the Killing Tartars, they naturally had to ask guests to play several rounds of "Killing Tartars". Song Shilie and his party hated the Tartars to the core. When they heard that the current thing was called "Tartars Wood", they found a common mouth of catharsis. A close-fitting guard named Jin Yungen had an amazing arm strength and was quick to get started. In the second round, they actually played five Grand Slams in a row, winning warm applause from the audience.
When washing hands, these people chattered about soap and tap water again. Du Jun could only explain one by one. When they were about to stop, they had to take the mission staff to visit the tall cement water tower, and then explain clearly why the water would flow out when it was turned on. It turned out that Wang Chengen imitated the water tower pipeline design that was popular in the 1960s and 1970s. He first raised the well water to the ground pool with a hand pump, then used a hand pump to drive the water to the water tower, and then connected it with a luxurious copper pipe, directly connected to the bathroom. Because the seamless pipe had not yet come out, he had to use copper pipes. The thin-walled copper pipes handmade by the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty were quite exquisite, and the joints were filled with alcohol blowtorch and borax welding. The craftsmen were not unfamiliar with copper welding. Alcohol blowtorch is faster. However, when making faucets, you have to use a lathe. With the help of the lathe, the Royal Palace and the Royal Club have used tap water and ceramic toilets. Later generations have developed a habit and cannot tolerate dirty bathroom facilities, so the first one is to renovate the bathroom. The flush toilet is too complicated, but the flushing ceramic toilet is extremely simple. Therefore, the Royal Club in the 17th century was comparable to the level of the 20th century in cleaning the bathroom. It is really strange that guests from AIA also used white ceramics as toilets for urine and defecation. Perhaps only the Emperor and the Dafu House used ceramic chamber pots. This toilet was actually installed in the bathroom in public places, which was really extravagant.
The finale of course was shooting. Song Shilie had seen many firearms, and such exquisite and accurate pistols were never seen. After Jin Yungen shot the first shot, the better and better. The last two shots were shot. After the shooting, Jin Yungen whispered to Song Shilie, and Song Shilie also had a thought in his heart, but it was useless to say that in front of Du Jun. After visiting all the way, he had a new understanding of the Ming Dynasty and secretly had a secret concern. He only met Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, so he wanted to buy a batch of such pistols. With this weapon, he might be able to give the Tartars a warning.
