Can you live forever

Chapter 373 Retire as Advance and Reach the Peak
It was because of this that Juzi was not completely convinced by Zhang Zhixiang.

Your enemy doesn't talk about steady flow and sustainable development. Therefore, unless Zhang Zhixiang defeats the Great Qin led by Qin Shihuang head-on, it cannot be said that he will definitely be able to defeat capitalism.

You are right, but you may not win.

Otherwise, from ancient times to the present, China doesn't have to worry about nomads. Barbarism destroys civilization, but it has appeared several times.

Even if the nomads became more hospitable after the invention of guns, it is just a barbaric transposition. It could be a grassland nomad becoming a sea nomad, or it could be a selfishness relative to the world where the world is public...

If the next war completely enters the stage of "Japanese pirate invasion".

The battlefield will be limited to infinite wars on the coast and islands. This is the premise of the tacit agreement between the two sides not to trigger a full-scale war and affect the people. This also means that the institutional war at the grassroots level will be more brutal in places where there is no gunpowder smoke. It is a real "bayonet fight".

The bet in Nanjing is that they have the entire class of scholar-officials, imperial examinations, countless literati, and squires, and they are the ones who control the countryside.

But the capital is betting on the commonality of the world, on the awakening of the people after the reform, and on the replacement of the old order by the new order.

That is infinite warfare other than non-war means.

until.

Until the people finally recognize a legal system...

In such a process, in such a war, under the confrontation of the two systems, what is finally displayed on the frontal battlefield and in front of the people is the productivity.

Whoever has high productivity will have a better life for the people, and whose troops will have more advanced weapons.

Whoever is more likely to win the war.

Of course, it is also possible not to fight like this. Then, a new "King Ning Rebellion" will probably appear soon, and then take control of Nanjing, occupying half of the country in an instant, and start a real civil war.

Until the country is completely smashed...

There are a lot of troubles, so Juzi's original intention is to resurrect the first emperor and directly reorganize the country.But Jiajing can't do this, he must abide by the "rules of the game."

Contradictions that can be based on the birth of industry...

"Your Majesty, we are not the Mohists." Finally, Qian Heng gave the answer.

The Mohists want to love all living beings, so they don’t allow themselves to transfer the price to other ethnic groups. What the Ming Dynasty believes in is not the Mohist way. China has been talking about farming and warfare since ancient times. For foreign races, first conquer and then absorb...

The same reason.

Daming is the center of the world. Since Zheng He went to the West, the fact is that the world's trade is serving Daming, and the trade surplus is as high as hundreds of millions of taels of silver every year...

Jiajing said: "Compared with materials, we used to earn more from precious metals such as gold and silver."

Qian Heng replied: "But after the industry is developed, materials from all over the world can be transported to Daming. Before that, the improvement of life brought about by the increase in productivity is higher than the pressure of survival brought about by the depth of exploitation. The overall performance is life. Improvement in quality. There is no development contradiction in the first stage, and the development contradiction in the second stage can be alleviated by outward transfer, and for the whole world, this is in the stage of improving the quality of life.”

"As long as we can end this war quickly, we can put the brakes on the brakes."

"Develop the industry at a normal metabolic rate and gradually complete the longevity revolution, so that the upper and lower classes can feel at ease and solve the problem of greed from their own hearts, so as to prevent the industry from getting out of control."

Qian Heng didn't have those dogmas of the Mohism.

What he pays more attention to is the rise and fall of the quality of life, rather than the deepening of exploitation. For everything, there is a price and there must be a reward.

Depends on whether it's worth it, not whether it can.

Jiajing asked: "So, we must end this war in the Great Heat?"

Qian Heng said: "In Jiajing's 21st year of heavy snowfall, the Great Heat World will reach its peak, and Jiajing's 31st year of heavy snow again, the Great Heat World will end. Therefore, we do not have 15 years, preferably within five years, to end the war."

Jiajing shook his head and said, "It can't be done. This is not a direct war, but a dispute over systems. It's a whole change of land starting from the countryside. Jinyiwei has already sent the news that the south has begun to divide the land."

"Xu Jie found the Xu family, and the [-] hectares of fertile land have already been divided up first. In Jiangnan, Xu Jie has become a saint."

"The information shows that Xu Jie has already contacted more people. In the second stage, they will expand to hundreds of counties, with a total of hundreds of millions of acres of land..."

"As for those students from Qinyuan, they are still being trained in Jingshi University. According to the regulations, they will not be able to graduate until next month."

"At that time, it's not us who are going to divide their fields, but the fire from Nanjing is going to burn to the north..."

"I know how Xu Jie did it."

"It is nothing more than abandoning land, transferring capital, investing in industry, and upgrading exploitation."

"So they seem fair, the people cheer, and the gentry will not resist. After determining the benefits, they will become more active, but we are different. We want to violently overthrow the gentry."

"What I can do is to maintain the military advantage in the early stage."

"Xu Jie probably doesn't look down on the armies that Nanjing now controls, and he doesn't care about the defeat on the frontal battlefield. After he completes the equalization of land and system construction, it is impossible for our army to intervene violently, otherwise we will fall into the level of injustice. "

"Forcibly flip the table and break the rules of the game, and you will fall into the vast ocean."

"It's extremely difficult to win a quick victory like a broken bamboo."

In the past, Jiajing broke many old orders and loosened the ties of the people to deal with Nanjing. He allowed the knights to act with righteousness, he allowed the people to supervise the officials, and he told the people that Ming is the Ming of the world...

He has done a lot. For the former Nanjing, it can be said that it is the key to recruiting. In the past few months, Nanjing has been extremely busy.

However, Xu Jie saw a fatal flaw.

Therefore, he started with his name, he took the lead, and he did it more thoroughly than the imperial court...

Although his essence is to deepen exploitation, you can't say it out. You have to tell the people that Xu Jie's investment in industry is for the purpose of capital intensive and thereby occupying more social power?

People don't understand this, and even find it ridiculous.

The so-called treason seems loyal, that's it.

Xu Jie can be said to have mastered the samadhi, this is the real opponent, not Xia Yan's kind of reckless pawn crossing the river.

Jiajing spared Xia Yan's life, but it was just to let Xia Yan "go for it" so as to catch the loopholes. This is the game, and obviously, Xia Yan will enter the game, but Xu Jie will not.

Xu Jie will only seize righteousness, and then use the current situation to "be upright".

"Xu Jie's capitalization lies in speed, while our longevity revolution lies in...slowness."

"He's beating the slow with the fast."

Qian Heng grasped the key point of Xu Jie's strategy, Jiajing nodded and agreed: "Yes, he is rushing one step faster, stepping faster, forcing us to speed up forcibly, and then falling into his rhythm, so that we have to Let the development of history go back to the 'old track'."

"He doesn't need to win at all, as long as the direction is right, the white snake will come gradually."

"The white snake doesn't even need to fight directly. It itself represents luck, and its strength directly interferes with cause and effect."

"That is to say, we can't get up soon, but we must solve it as soon as possible."

"It's a contradiction."

Jiajing sighed, he very much hoped that Zhang Zhixiang would be here so that he could get the answer. Qian Heng did live up to the inheritance of the Heavenly Official lineage, but he is not a Heavenly Official after all.

Qian Heng was also very embarrassed about this, he really couldn't answer it.

"It seems that we can only ask Master Yao."

When Jiajing got up, he wanted to find Yao Guangxiao, but he didn't know if Yao Guangxiao would see him.

Qingshou Temple.

Jiajing waited for a long time in the Daxiong Palace, when the abbot hurried over there, but said in a very embarrassed way: "Your Majesty, Patriarch Daoyan is gone, only a note was left..."

"Bring it."

Jiajing directly snatched the note from the abbot's hand, and looked at the short line of poem on it - Qin Wang swept Liuhe, and the tiger looked at He Xiongzai.

Jiajing didn't think Yao Guangxiao would go to join Qin Shihuang.

This poem has two meanings. Yao Guangxiao went to find Qin Shihuang, and he probably guessed what he was going to ask, so he answered it. Qin Wang swept Liuhe, and the tiger looked at He Xiongzai.

To truly change civilization and change the course of history.

You must have the courage and vision of the first emperor. Zhang Zhixiang is a qualified national teacher, but is Jiajing a qualified emperor?Is it an emperor who is enough to provoke the burden of the times?
The paper was crumpled a bit.

Jiajing took a deep breath, squeezed the note into a ball, held it tightly in the palm of his hand, and strode out: "The king of Qin sweeps Liuhe, and the tiger looks at He Xiongzai."

"Yeah, no one sees farther than Qin Shihuang."

"A qualified emperor, how can he ask people everything, some answers, I have to answer them myself."

"Anping has established such a good situation, how can I be led by the nose in terms of strategy?"

"Huang Jin!"

Huang Jin, who was waiting outside the Buddhist hall, hurried forward and said: "The servant is here."

"Purpose!"

"Decree to the world, make the Emperor Ming orthodox! I want to ask the people of the world, in the end... do you want the emperor! All men and women in the whole country can vote. If more than half of them don't want it, I will abdicate immediately!"

"From then on, since Qin Shihuang came, the bureaucratic monarchy ended in 2000!"

Pfft! !

The eunuchs outside the Buddha Hall knelt down in an instant, hundreds of people were terrified, and Huang Jin even screamed: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty!! You can't do it, you can't do it!!"

The eunuchs and maids shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, please think twice."

They didn't know Jiajing's intentions, they just thought it was too absurd, there was no reason for it, why did they have to vote and let everyone decide whether to want the emperor or not?

Well, there is no emperor in this world, is it still a system?

Isn't that completely messed up?

However, Jiajing didn't listen to their dissuasion at all, and this matter quickly spread throughout the court, and in the form of gossip, it spread throughout the capital in almost half a day.

The people are also boiling.

In the Hall of Wende, the six ministers and elders looked at each other, not only those who supported Jiajing were dumbfounded, but even the people in Nanjing were also dumbfounded, even Xia Yan had only suffered a blow of eighty, his whole face was like gold paper, his lips were pale, It was still carried over from the Tai Hospital, with a pair of sinister eyes thinking about something.

And Yan Song, who entered the pavilion over there, sat there with his hands folded, his head lowered, not knowing what to think.

Over there, Wang Tingxiang, the censor of Zuodu, stood next to Yan Song and asked loudly, "What is your majesty's intention? Let the people of the world vote properly. If the real people choose not to, then... ..."

Yan Song didn't answer, Zhang Zan, Minister of the Ministry of War over there, immediately said, "It's absolutely impossible!"

"For the edict to be issued both at home and abroad, it needs to be drafted by the cabinet. Since we have gathered together, we cannot allow such an edict that shakes the foundation of the country to be implemented. I hope you will join us in admonishing it. Your Majesty, please accept it!"

Regarding this, Mao Bowen coughed and said: "On the way to enter the palace, the old man has already heard the discussion of this matter among the people, and I am afraid that it has already spread."

"It doesn't matter whether the imperial decree is issued or not."

"Your Majesty's absurd move has not been hidden after all."

"Ugh……"

Sighing on the surface, the bottom of his heart may have been smiling crookedly. With a faint smile in the corner of Mao Bowen's eyes, he just felt that Jiajing had made a foolish move. Wasn't this taking the initiative to shake the country and the orthodoxy?
Going further, how can Daming be your Jiajing's Daming?

It was the country that was brought down by the Taizu, and it was inherited by the Ming Dynasty for 200 years. If you say you abdicate, you will abdicate?That can only show that you, Zhu Houcong, have no virtue and should abdicate. You are a false emperor!
These people are still old-fashioned thinking.

I don't understand at all that Jiajing's move is not against them, but Xu Jie.

Xu Jie wants to take that step quickly. After the second stage of land equalization, Xu Jie will inevitably start to attack the existence of the emperor, and then start to attack the emperor.

And Jiajing didn't give him this chance at all.

Directly let the whole country vote in advance to let people know that there is an emperor in Ming Dynasty and he was chosen by himself.
indeed.

This will be very dangerous, because whether it is Xu Jie or Nanjing, they can take advantage of the situation. As long as they work hard enough to win the votes, they can directly force Jiajing to abdicate.

In this way, the originally very difficult legal system was solved at once.

Without the natural legal system represented by the emperor, who has the final say in the court, isn't it them scholar-bureaucrats?
This strategic opportunity is really too attractive.

Wang Tingxiang and Mao Bowen were obviously tempted, and they were about to celebrate with each other, but the really smart people knew that the situation was not that simple, and Yan Song understood the key to Jiajing's move.

Didn't you, Xu Jie, want to fight fast?I will play slowly.

The inherent concept is also slow.

From the people's point of view, it is normal to have an emperor. Without an emperor, the world will be in chaos...

The people even wondered if there were some new power ministers like Wang Mang who were about to usurp the throne, that's why they came up with this edict. At this time, who told the people that we don't want immortal emperors, we have to rely on ourselves, we have to be equal, Then who is Wang Mang.

This move is based on retreat, and immediately regained the initiative.

The more Yan Song savored it, the more he felt that Jiajing's move was powerful, and he could only feel that his majesty's power and skill attainments, compared with ancient emperors, are expected to compete.
