Can you live forever

Chapter 123 A ten-year promise, bid farewell to the capital (Happy New Year, please book first!)
In a month's time, even if Nanjing has already reacted and is no longer afraid of "Confessions", Jiajing has already completed the general control of the capital's court.

These days, he only read "Taiyi Jinhua Tenet" and "The Origin of Qi Ti" twice.

After he knew the general content, he didn't read it again. He has practiced Taoism for more than ten years, and his theory is solid enough. When discussing Danjing and Taoism, "Zhouyi Cantongqi", "Wuzhen Chapter", and "Xingming Guizhi" are the most important. good.

As for the change from the Nine Realms of Immortal Cultivation to the Ten Realms, there is an extra "return to light".

In fact, when Jiajing listened to Yao Guangxiao's talk about the same origin of the three religions, he also stepped into the realm of "Jinhua spit out". After the early Dragon Boat Festival, he even stepped into the second realm of "Jinhua Zhengfang".

However, he did not go to Xiyuan to clean up.

He didn't even meditate these days. He kept holding the "Analysis Report" in his hands when he was not dealing with government affairs. He heard Zhang Zhixiang talk about the history of later generations, so he naturally knew that this analysis report originated from Mr. Ma's framework products below.

Jiajing didn't care about things like "there has never been a fairy emperor".

The Immortal Emperor is unreliable, so naturally he can only rely on himself. There is nothing to care about. He wrote "Journey to the West" by himself. Didn't he also imagine that Monkey King can make a big disturbance in the heavenly palace and smash the gods and Buddhas in the sky?

As for the local tyrants to divide the land.

This is nothing new. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang did it. All the people of the Ming Dynasty, the men gave 15 mu of land, and the taxable land in the world totaled 900 million hectares. Tax.

However, the number of land annexation has not been known since the Kingdom of China. The newly reclaimed land has disappeared for more than a hundred years, and the old 900 million hectares of tax land has been less than half. (Zhang Juzheng has only measured more than 700 million hectares of land, and he can't measure it in Jiangsu.)
During the Hongwu period, there were 700 million shi of grain every year in the land tax alone, not counting the income from farming, and the salt tax could collect more than 1000 million taels a year.

Now all the taxes and taxes of Ming Dynasty are added up, only 2000 million shi grains and one million taels of silver.

The tax rate has not changed, but the difference is so big.

So is the land beneficial to the country in the hands of the common people, or is it beneficial to the country in the hands of the gentry and merchants?As long as you are not a fool, you can tell the difference.

As for this doctrine, that doctrine.

Jiajing didn't pay much attention to it, but it was just a cliché.

"Book of Rites · Li Yun" has long recorded: the journey of the great way, the world is the public, the selection of virtuous and capable, trustworthy and harmonious.The old man does not only care for his own relatives, not only his sons for his sons, so that the old will be able to die, the strong will be useful, the young will be strong, and the widows, widows, lonely, disabled and sick will be taken care of, men will have a share, and women will return.The evil of goods is abandoned on the ground, so there is no need to hide it in oneself; the evil of power does not come from the body, so there is no need to do it for oneself.That's why they don't prosper when they seek closure, and they don't commit thieves and thieves, so they don't shut down outsiders.It means Datong.

Can average wealth achieve a Datong society?

No, Zhang Zhixiang said that it has not been realized in later generations. Average wealth is only a part of realizing Datong society. To realize Datong society, every individual in the society must have extremely high moral quality.

Canglan knows etiquette well.

Average wealth is nothing more than a means to achieve reality.

But just knowing the etiquette cannot achieve a Datong society. To truly achieve a Datong society, I am afraid that as Mr. Yangming said, no matter whether you are a trafficker or a cart seller, you must be a hero who cleans up and makes his own decisions. .

Everyone is "reaching conscience" in order to build great harmony together.

And on the basis of Datong, if everyone can practice longevity, innocence and happiness, then it will be the rule of Huaxu in ancient times.

In Jiajing's view, that is the ultimate goal.

"Your Majesty, the national teacher asks to see you."

"Please!"

Jiajing was very happy to see Zhang Zhixiang.

He pulled Zhang Zhixiang and asked, "How did the national teacher learn from the old monk?"

Zhang Zhixiang said: "When Confucius saw Lao Tzu, it was like seeing a real dragon. I studied with Master Yao for a month, and finally I saw a real dragon."

"Oh?"

Jiajing was very interested, and chatted with Zhang Zhixiang about his experience in learning, and later began to talk about the governance of the country. Jiajing asked: "Now that I have initially controlled the court, the national teacher thinks, what should I do next?"

Zhang Zhixiang also thought about this problem.

He said: "If you want to change the law and do more things, your majesty must first grasp more power. On this point, I believe your majesty understands better than me."

Jiajing nodded and said, "I plan to rectify the administration of officials in three years, reform the capital camp in three years, and control the nine sides in three years to completely subdue the Mongolian and Jurchen tribes."

"Use nine years to accumulate strength, and then measure the land of the world."

"If the south of the Yangtze River does not follow, I will lead the army to the south, sweep the caves in the Liting, and eliminate its species!"

"Then take over the world's acres of land to the public, imitate Taizu's law, re-assess the population, and distribute the land to the people of the world."

"So much so that I go back to the West and return to the prosperous age of eternal happiness!"

Zhang Zhixiang didn't nod his head in approval, but asked instead: "Your Majesty has been advancing for nine years, and the people of the world will have to wait for nine years?"

"The national teacher means..."

"The people also need to make progress, Your Majesty."

Even if Jiajing knew the history of the future, he was not from that era after all. He hadn't experienced it, so he would subconsciously ignore the power of the general public.

How can we change the world without mobilizing the power of the masses?

"His Majesty."

"Before I leave, I have three suggestions for Your Majesty."

Jiajing was stunned for a moment, he didn't ask what suggestion, but pulled Zhang Zhixiang and asked: "Is the national teacher leaving so soon? I..."

He wanted to keep it, but he didn't say it after all.

Zhang Zhixiang said: "Your Majesty knows the future and believes in what to do. Your Majesty has already made a decision in his heart. In order to achieve the goal, we must have enough strength."

"Before the great cold, there is the great heat."

"With the abundance of yang energy in the world, the prosperous age of immortal cultivators will come, and the extraordinary power will become stronger and stronger. There are immortals and gods in the world, and there will also be demons and ghosts."

"It's like the overseas evil Chong encountered in Poyang Lake."

"There will only be more in the future."

"Your Majesty not only needs the power from the mountain, but also the power from the mountain."

Zhang Zhixiang's calmness reveals self-confidence, and it also reminds Jiajing of a very important thing. The power of individuals is getting stronger and stronger, which may affect the balance of the world.

Therefore, Zhang Zhixiang had to go back to the mountain to practice.

Jiajing nodded and said with a smile: "Then, Anping will make a ten-year contract with me."

"Ten years later, when the Heavenly Master descends from the mountain, all ghosts will be terrified."

Zhang Zhixiang also handed over his fist, and agreed: "Ten years later, tigers and leopards will be written, and all beasts will look up."

"Hahaha……"

The two looked at each other and laughed. Jiajing asked what were the three suggestions just now. Zhang Zhixiang said that among the five methods of fortune telling in mountain doctors, only medical skills are the most obvious and the most empirical.

Jiajing should cooperate with the Wang family, based on the medicinal material resources of the Wang family, and let the Imperial Medical Bureau compile a "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook", train or recruit a large number of doctors to fill the gaps in the countryside.

This kind of benevolent government can be intuitively felt by the people.

Let Chinese medicine enter thousands of households, so that the people can personally perceive the influence of culture.

Second.

Stones from other mountains can be used to attack jade. It is not unreasonable for later generations to develop almost paranoid in external calculations. Because of the first-mover advantage in internal calculations, the ancients took too much lead in internal calculations. Even if external calculations develop steadily, it is still unbalanced.

Therefore, it is necessary to artificially promote the development of foreign computing.

In the imperial examination, it is necessary to set up another subject to specialize in mathematics and natural science, and find ways to build such schools and concentrate on training them.

There will be no resistance to this.

Because the prosperous age of cultivating immortals is coming, Nanjing also needs stronger technological power to check and balance. Compared with uncontrollable ghosts and gods, they will prefer weapons such as items.

Third.

With the emperor's internal money as the reserve fund, the imperial court's credit as the endorsement, and the establishment of banks to issue currency, the imperial court can only obtain financial sovereignty if it has the right to mint coins.

If the budget is in deficit, nothing can be done.

With regard to economic knowledge, Zhang Zhixiang had already told Jiajing all about it in those ten days. He has more advanced knowledge.
