Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 103 Credibility

"Berwin, you really don't understand?"

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, staring at Liu Bowen, with a hint of coolness in his words.

He can understand some things, but Liu Bowen actually said he couldn't understand?

Isn't this deceiving yourself?
"Reporting to Your Majesty, I really don't understand."

Liu Bowen didn't seem to hear the anger contained in Zhu Yuanzhang's words, and his answer remained the same.

Zhu Yuanzhang slowly started pacing in the Fengxian Hall. For a while, the entire Fengxian Hall was silent, except for Lao Zhu's pacing.

Liu Bowen maintained a slightly bowed posture, motionless.

Time passed by like this, no matter whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or Liu Bowen, no one broke the silence.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped. He looked at Liu Bowen and said:

"Liu Ji, you say you don't understand, then I really want to hear, what is it that you don't understand?"

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't hide his emotions too much by calling Liu Bowen's name directly.

Liu Bowen lowered his head and replied slowly: "Your Majesty, the three major industries that Mr. Su mentioned, in my view, are all things in the future. Since they are things in the future, I naturally don't understand."

Future things?

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his expression immediately changed: "How do you say this?"

Liu Bowen continued to bow his head and replied: "The three major industrial theories of Chenguan are related to the big details, but except for the primary industry, the rest cannot be realized in the current Ming Dynasty."

"In other words, the current Ming Dynasty only has the primary industry."

"And in Mr. Su's theory, the three complement each other. I'm afraid it's a matter of the future, so I won't be able to understand it."

Liu Bowen's explanation was not complicated, and Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts were not relieved much.

But if Su Jing was here, hearing these words, he would definitely be shocked by Liu Bowen's wisdom.

The knowledge related to the three major industries was explained by Su Jing when he was asked by Zhu Biao.

In fact, Su Jing expounded these contents simply to confuse Zhu Biao, and his relationship with Daming is only superficial.

And if you really want to make good use of the three major industry theories to guide the economic development of a country, you must at least have experienced the Industrial Revolution.

The main core of the secondary industry is industry, and handicrafts alone are not enough.

The feudal dynasty with insufficient productivity did not have the cornerstone of the birth of the three major industrial theories.

Since there is not even the cornerstone of the theory, then everything is just a castle in the air.

However, the castle in the air that Su Jing mentioned is a castle in the air that will be verified in the future.

But now, Liu Bowen has seen this "truth" just through the content relayed by Zhu Biao. How can this not shock Su Jing.

Sure enough, no matter what era the smart people are, they are still beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Liu Bowen has realized the root cause of development and progress in the era of shackles: the backwardness of productivity.

Zhu Yuanzhang no longer doubted Liu Bowen's words.

Future things?

Su Jing can understand the future, and Zhu Yuanzhang has already personally learned about it.

"So Bowen, do you think Su Jing's theory has merit?"

Zhu Yuanzhang is still fast at this face-changing speed.

Just now he looked cold, but now he is asking eagerly.

Liu Bowen shook his head and said: "Mr. Su's high opinion must have his foresight, but I'm stupid, and I haven't seen how to use it yet. Perhaps Your Majesty can ask Mr. Su for advice."

It's not that he's pretending to be stupid, but it's precisely because Liu Bowen knows that Ming Dynasty has not reached the form in Su Jing's three major industry theories, so he can't really understand it.

Hearing Liu Bowen's answer, Old Zhu felt a little disappointed.

Are you asking Su Jing again?
But Liu Bowen has already said that this is something that can only be used in the future.

"Forget it, let's do this first, Bowen, you can go back."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and let Liu Bowen go.

"Yes, I retire."

Liu Bowen backed away slowly and left Fengxian Hall.

Looking at Zhu Biao's letter, Lao Zhu was still struggling in his heart, just because of Su Jing's conclusions in the three major industrial theories:

The development of the secondary industry determines whether Daming can maintain its current position.

Although today's Ming Dynasty has just been established, it is a kingdom of heaven, and the surrounding small countries are not worth mentioning compared to the large territory of Ming Dynasty.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Daming is the strongest.

But according to Su Jing, if Daming's secondary industry cannot develop, then Daming will gradually fall behind.

This is unacceptable to Lao Zhu.

In fact, that's exactly how history has developed.

China's backwardness really started from the Ming Dynasty, and it did not catch up with the progress of the world trend.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, capitalism sprouted in China in terms of social thought, but it was not shaken due to the deep-rooted feudal ideology.

In terms of foreign exploration, the feat of Zheng He's voyages to the West in the Ming Dynasty was not to expand overseas colonies, but to show off the so-called national prestige, but disappeared due to the country's weak economic strength.

There was also a deviation in the direction of history. When the capitalist revolution in the West initially took shape, the Ming Dynasty was overthrown by the Jurchens.

In terms of military affairs, the superiors of the Ming Dynasty regarded Western technology as a plaything and did not pay attention to development.

Economically, because of the feudal social system, it has always been a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy, with little technological and philosophical content.

Of course, Lao Zhu didn't know these things, he just had an inexplicable trust in Su Jing's words.

Therefore, Liu Bowen left now, but Zhu Yuanzhang still didn't mean to give up.

National Supervisor.

A large group of supervisors, doctors, books, classics and other academic officials were all called together by Zhu Yuanzhang.

They were all quite nervous, apprehensive but also quite excited.

His Majesty summoned them must be something important.

For them, that is an opportunity!
It's just that it would definitely not be easy for Zhu Yuanzhang to summon all of them at once.

Soon, the eunuch, Zhu Yuanzhang's personal companion, came here holding the imperial decree, and all the officials of the Imperial Academy immediately knelt down to receive the decree.

"Follow the heavens."

The imperial decree began to be read, and the front was basically clichés.

The core officials of the Imperial College also heard very clearly that they will be asked to write their impressions. As for the impressions of the articles, someone will soon distribute them to them.

This made all the officials of the Imperial Academy look at each other in blank dismay, which was quite puzzled.

read an article?
what is this?
Those who can work in the Imperial College are all people with outstanding knowledge.

It's just an article, is it worth such a mobilization?

They were puzzled in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show anything, they could only comprehend.

Soon, someone distributed the transcribed article to them. It was the transcript of Zhu Biao's letter, but Zhu Biao's remarks were removed from it, leaving only what Su Jing said.

Inside the Imperial College, there was only the sound of paper being flipped.

Su Jing's discussion on the three major industries is actually not very long, but the things discussed in it make the officials of the Imperial Academy scratch their heads one by one.

This is a type they have never seen, nor have they been exposed to.

A group of puppets raised their heads, wanting to communicate with the people beside them, but all they got was shaking their heads.

Everyone doesn't quite understand it.

But this is Zhu Yuanzhang's request. Everyone must write a review, even if they don't understand, they must find a way to understand.

Some people have already stood up and went to look for the classics.

And some people are still thinking hard, wanting to get something out of it.

If Su Jing was here, seeing this scene, he would definitely laugh out loud.

Didn't I just pull something casually, as for that.

Zhu Yuanzhang's companion, the eunuch, took a few glances, seeing everyone's state, and then left satisfied.

When reporting, you can't just say that the imperial decree is passed on and it's over.

To become Zhu Yuanzhang's personal eunuch, he must not be a fool.

the other side.

Lishui County Paper Mill, the seventh day of training, this is the last day of employee training and the day of graduation.

Su Jing didn't make any speeches today, but just improved the problems discovered yesterday and passed them on.

At this time, the paper mill seems to have entered the rhythm of formal production.

Everyone is at their post, orderly.

Su Jing and Zhu Biao stood in the center of the workshop, looking at the busy workers around them.

"Okay, finally it's basically formed."

Su Jing nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the results of the seven days.

Although there is no mechanization, the production efficiency has been increased several times compared with the previous one.

This will be a template, and these workers will also become core employees for future expansion.

Su Jing never thought of retraining every time she opened a new paper mill.

And Zhu Biao, who was on the side, was no longer shocked, but the excitement in his heart was still there.

It took only seven days to turn a papermaking workshop into the present appearance. Su Jing's ability is really too powerful.

"Master Su's ability really amazes the students."

Zhu Biao said to Su Jing with emotion: "If Daming governs the people like Master Su, he will definitely be strong!"

Zhu Biao has great vision, and only thinks that such a scene is what Daming should look like.

Everyone works extremely hard in their own positions.

Daming also gave them the rewards they deserved, neat and efficient.

Su Jing directly broke his imagination, shook his head and said: "No, it can't be done."

"why?"

Zhu Biao asked puzzledly.

Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Then how do you think I did it?"

Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, but he immediately thought about it, and replied after a while: "Master Su is worried about the people, and treats them so favorably, they should repay Master Su."

In Zhu Biao's view, Su Jing treated these workers very well.

With such conditions, it is no wonder that these workers are obedient.

Su Jing smiled and said, "You really think so? Then let me ask you, replace me with you, and use the staff training knowledge I taught you, whether you can make them what they are now."

Zhu Biao was stunned.

He thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the students can't do it."

Even if he has learned how to conduct employee training, he also knows what Su Jing promised these workers.

But he is really not sure if he wants to reproduce it.

"Why can't it be done?"

Su Jing continued to ask: "You can also be like me. I have taught you how to do it, and you can give it to them. Why can't you do it?"

Zhu Biao was silent, not knowing how to answer.

Su Jing was not in a hurry, but asked another question: "Niu Yi, do you trust me?"

"Of course I believe."

Zhu Biao nodded immediately.

Su Jing said again: "Then do you think they believe me?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Biao immediately understood.

He said: "Master Su, what do you mean, they believe in Master Su, that's why Master Su can do this?"

"I understand that no one can stand without trust. There is no trust between me and these workers, so I can't do it."

Su Jing nodded and said: "That's right, if you don't believe, you can't stand. You think you have heard about the matter of buying horse bones with a thousand dollars. Trust is the simplest and most difficult thing. For me alone, personal trust is easier. Establish."

"But for the entire Ming Dynasty, building trust is a very difficult thing, because it is not something that one person can do. When all the people trust the Ming government, what is formed must be credibility."

"Da Ming, at least the current Daming, cannot establish effective credibility."
