I'm really not doing business

Chapter 482 Natural selection, survival of the fittest

Killing a chicken with an ox's knife means that you don't need to use great strength to do small things, but in the eyes of Confucian scholars, this sentence means that you should also use rituals and music to govern a small country. This is what Confucius and his disciple Zi You Regarding a debate about governing the country, Zhu Yijun learned the true meaning of this sentence.

The reason why Wang Chonggu put so much effort into it was entirely because of the importance of government, factory and team building.

The creation of official factories and groups was an important means to stimulate the inert or stable powerful people to leave the land and invest in workshops, to resettle the gangsters everywhere because the world was trapped in mergers and acquisitions, and to lead the Ming Dynasty to transform into a commodity economy. Perhaps under the influence of the scholar-bureaucrats, In his eyes, the humble craftsman was just a villain, but to Wang Chonggu, it was the foundation of his magnificent transformation.

Therefore, he came up with three methods to control the appeasement of nepotism in the official factory, copying the work of political enemy Zhang Juzheng, without hesitation at all, which is a peace of mind.

Wang Daokun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, fully agreed with this matter. The Ministry of Industry was originally at the bottom of the six ministries and was a transparent person in the court. With the gradual implementation of the official, factory and group system, the voice became louder and louder.

"The official factory regiment manufacturing method is indeed a combination of the military garrison and the resident craftsmen in the early days of the Republic of China. Time flies, today is not the same as it was then. Even if it is the same again, there is a fundamental difference. If we consider it from the perspective of production diagrams, then We can easily come to the conclusion that the productivity of government-owned factories will improve rapidly with the advancement of machinery, and sooner or later, they will be able to provide enough goods for people." Wang Daokun did not agree with some of the views of the Songjiang School.

The Songjiang School believes that official factory tuanzao = military garrison. However, the production relationship in military garrison is a unity of contradictions between tenants and landlords. This is not the case with official factory tuanzao. It is limited by the impact of land output, resulting in The output of the military garrison cannot meet the growth of the population of the military garrison.

In the early days of the People's Republic of China, there was a small population and a lot of land. One household could manage one cow's land. One cow's land was the land that one cow could plow, which was about one hundred acres. However, as time went by, people became more and more More, the land becomes less, and the contradiction between man and land begins to become prominent. At this time, a family may only have ten or even twenty acres of land.

Changes in agricultural production are never achieved overnight. Two points are planted, three points are managed, and one point is fertilizer. If you want to achieve a breakthrough in agricultural production, it must be measured in units of hundreds of years.

Zhang Juzheng had mixed feelings. When he saw the title of this memorial, he thought that the chief medical officer of the Jiecu Hospital was crazy. However, after reading it carefully, he felt that it was very reasonable and logical, and it could explain many problems.

"Okay." Wang Chonggu finally admitted it and had to endure it for a while. The system is now full of loopholes and needs to be polished seriously.

Li Rusong thinks: Qi Shuai is right.

Obviously, in this matter, the conservative is Zhang Juzheng and the radical is Wang Chonggu.

The technological progress of official factory group manufacturing is visible to the naked eye, which is why Wang Daokun attaches so much importance to official factory group manufacturing. It is not a chicken now, but a cow, and it may become a strong cow in the future.

Natural selection, natural selection, anthropic selection, artificial selection.

Wang Chonggu was blocked for a moment. What Wan Shihe said made some sense. Once practice proved unfeasible, the engineering regiment camp would not be implemented again in the Wanli Dynasty. Maintaining the stability of the country has never been derogatory in Wang Chonggu's view. word.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not condone Li Chengliang and was always wary of Li Chengliang. Even Li Chengliang's son Li Rusong knew this very well. Qi Jiguang said more than once that whether Li Chengliang would slip to the vassal town mainly depends on whether the Jingying camp is strong and the Jingying camp rapes him. He couldn't even think about it. The capital camp was weak, so he had to turn it into a vassal town even if he didn't want to.

Fortunately for the court, Li Chengliang showed no signs of continuing to become a vassal. It seemed that Li Chengliang did not want to be the An Lushan of the Ming Dynasty. An Lushan and Shi Siming were able to rebel in the Tang Dynasty because of the connivance of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and the Tang Dynasty's harsh policy towards the three towns in Hebei.

It is out of the question to criticize and wait for a decision. Liaodong has lost the foundation of vassalization, top-down, bottom-up. Li Chengliang now behaves more like a loyal and reliable pioneering general of the Ming Dynasty, rampaging through Liaodong. , has now expanded to Jilin, and requested orders to reset the shipyard.

Wang Guoguang, the Minister of Household Affairs, said with emotion: "The Ming Dynasty's forts are expanding, and the people of the Ming Dynasty are going to Liaodong to make a living. The land is fertile, and one crop a year can feed a group of people."

After driving away the Tatar left-wing Tuman Khan tribes, the Ming Dynasty did not sit back and relax in the direction of Liaodong, but needed further advancement to complete the solid land counties.

"Wang Cifu, we all climbed up from the local area. If the court changes, will the local area really change?" Wan Shihe shook his head and said: "This is impossible. It would be better to have fewer loopholes from the beginning."

The changes in these moths have caused the institute to think about human evolution. Humans went from drinking blood to stable farming, and then established gathering places and formed a stable ecology. The influence of nature on humans became weak, and humans Whether the evolution has stopped is the concern of Jieguan.

"Liu Qing, the commander of the Liaodong capital, saw a bunch of golden pheasants in the woods, so he named it Jilin. Later, he felt it didn't sound good and changed it to Jilin." Wan Shihe talked about the origin of the name Jilin, which was an interesting thing.

"The geographical location of Beiya is extremely important, because it is the key to the two largest grain-producing areas in the Ming Dynasty, and it is an important strategic location."

This is really a very dangerous signal. Once the Jianzhou Jurchens, Haixi Jurchens, Barbarian Jurchens, Outer Kalkha, and Tatar left-wing Tuman Khan tribes complete the merger, the Ming Dynasty will be completely plunged into a dangerous situation. middle.

The Ming Dynasty did not harshly criticize the capital of Liaodong. On the contrary, various government decrees supported Li Chengliang's expansion in Liaodong. He was loyal to the emperor and established a state marquis in Zhao. He repeatedly requested the policy of farmland and unified households, and even Shandong had to transport grain to Liaodong every year. Dusi, and Liaodong Dusi was also the first military region to realize full pay. When the Gule Village was attacked in the second year of Wanli, full pay was supplemented, one year earlier than the other nine sides.

The new policies of the Wanli Restoration were not completely consistent across the Ming Dynasty. There were some slight differences in their implementation. For example, the Ming Dynasty did not prohibit gatherings to give lectures in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and Guizhou. If there were scholar-bureaucrats going there, travel expenses would be allocated. Yi, this was the promotion of cultural education to educate the local chieftains, and the efforts to clear the abbot were very weak. Yunnan even acquiesced to the annexation of land by the Duke of Guizhou. The main contradictions were different, and the government orders were different.

Everything starts with the moth in the Mentougou Xishan Coal Bureau.

Soot caused all the moths in Xishan to turn black, because they are less likely to be discovered by natural enemies, and the white color gradually becomes scarce. This is both natural and human selection. Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong, the chief medical officers of the Jieju Hospital, noticed this fact. Naturally, we get the theory of "Natural Selection" and "Theory of Anthropic Selection": the evolution and variation of species in the biological world are based on evolution by natural selection and evolution by anthropogenic selection.

A strange thing.

"Recently, the Jiecu Institute has published a Taoist memorial. The content is rather mysterious. Please take a look at it." Zhang Juzheng said with a strange expression: "The great medical officer of the Jiecu Institute has demonstrated that the Huayi people have learned about natural selection from the perspective of natural selection. "

Wang Chonggu said unwillingly: "In my opinion, it is not a big deal. In fact, we can let the localities try to set up and follow the steps of the court. When the court's policies change, the localities will also change, and the localities can also implement it. In practice, we constantly adjust measures to local conditions. The situation in different parts of the Ming Dynasty is different, and the specific policies will be slightly different.”

Li Chengliang made further progress in Liaodong, expanding more than a hundred miles of land and setting up six forts. This has become an annual practice. Li Chengliang has to expand the land every year, mainly because the black land is really very attractive.

Now Li Chengliang has been doing this, and Dr. Gewu of the Ming Dynasty went to Liaodong to draw a more precise Kantu map.

The court is engaged in promoting civil and military affairs all day long, and uses civil servants to control military affairs. Even civil servants can behead first and then kill the military attache (Wang Ji killed An Jing). Fang Junzhen over there has a grudge. Otherwise, he will not work hard and fight against the enemy. God's three guns are worthy of the imperial court. Who is a good man who should not be the Marquis of Ningyuan of the Ming Dynasty and be the king of the mountain like a wild monkey?

"What is it? Demonstrate the debate between Hua and Yi?" Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites, was a little confused. The debate between Hua and Yi was an important battlefield in etiquette. As a result, the chief medical officer of Jiecuyuan had to explain it biologically.

Wang Chonggu, Wang Daokun, and Zeng Shengwu received firm support from the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry. The engineering regiments and camps were promoted to local areas. However, there were more hooligans, chaotic public security, civil unrest, and widespread lawlessness. The Ministry of Punishment existed in name only. Wang Chonggu’s Ministry of Punishment supported the engineering regiments and camps. , but not just Wang Chonggu himself.

Wan Shihe smiled at Wang Chonggu and said: "I am too hasty and can't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Wang Cifu should wait a little while and wait for the system of the engineering regiment and camp to be improved, otherwise a raw melon and egg will be pushed to the Ming Dynasty and the two capitals." If there is a problem in the four provinces, the imperial court will overturn the sesame cakes and lose face. However, it will be extremely difficult to implement this system because it has been proven wrong. "

Perhaps, Emperor Chengzuwen opened Nuergandusi in order to prove the correctness of moving north and open up a grain-producing land, but various reasons prevented Emperor Chengzuwen from completing this task.

After this most tit-for-tat issue, the atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall became much more relaxed.

Jilin was a land-rich county during the Yongle and Xuande years. With the general trend of promoting culture and martial arts, the Ming Dynasty and Liaodong direction were completely shrunk in the Great Wall area along Tieling and Fushun. This kept the Liaodong capital of the Ming Dynasty in a kind of situation. In the dilemma of being passively defensive and unable to attack, Daming knew less and less about things outside the customs, and his control ability became weaker and weaker.

Zhang Juzheng, Wang Guoguang, and Wan Shihe opposed the immediate implementation of the Engineer Regiment Battalion. The two sides had conducted several confrontations around the Engineer Regiment Battalion, but no one could do anything about the other.

"Engineer regiment camp." Zhang Juzheng mentioned a place where the court had the greatest disagreement.

"Wang Cifu, you don't want the engineering regiment to fail, right?"

Jilin Shipyard specially dispatched Liu Qing, the commander of Liaodong Dusi, to lead the army here three times in the 18th year of Yongle, the first year of Hongxi, and the seventh year of Xuande to start shipbuilding operations. The large-scale shipyard became a link connecting the capital, Liaodong Dusi, Nuerqian The bond and key of Dusi.

Jiegeyuan discusses changes and choices.

The Kan map is becoming more and more refined. The large-scale farming area suitable for farming, the junction of the North China Plain and the Liaodong Plain, is Beiya. With mulberry farming as the basis, Beiya's geographical location is particularly important.

In the ten years of Wanli, Li Chengliang expanded six hundred miles of land. Li Chengliang expressed his humility by expanding the land every year. The land expansion varies every year. This year, Li Chengliang's camp has arrived at the Jilin Shipyard.

Soon, Jiegain was relieved because they saw from Baoqiji that the breeding was an artificial choice.

Humans have domesticated livestock plants and continue to select livestock plants according to their needs, making human life easier. For example, Zhancheng rice in the Song and Song Dynasties gradually replaced traditional rice. For example, sweet potatoes are now being used to save famines. With continuous selection and breeding, the yield is rising.

Artificial selection is more purposeful and faster than natural selection.

Artificial selection has interfered with the evolution of crops and livestock, but has artificial selection interfered with human beings themselves?
The answer is yes.

Human evolution is accelerating. This is the thinking on human evolution within the framework of "Natural Selection" and "Anthropic Selection".

"First of all, Jieguyuan's "On Natural Selection" is a ground-breaking and shocking statement that reveals the secret of heaven. This is worthy of recognition. Natural selection, survival of the fittest, these eight simple words summarize the infinite nature of all things. Wan Shihe first affirmed the theory of natural selection. He explained: "The eight words "natural selection and survival of the fittest" are your majesty's comments on the theory of natural selection. !”

The courtiers glanced at Wan Shihe with disgust. Wan Shihe really flattered him every chance he got, and it was already a waste.

Although he is so proficient in etiquette and can rely on his ability to be an honorable minister, all he does is flatter him all day long, which is simply insulting to politeness. My lords also admitted that your Majesty’s eight words summed up the theory of natural selection very well. The theory of natural selection is about the interference of nature in the evolution of species. In addition to the theory of natural selection, it is also the interference of human activities in the evolution of species. Anthropic theory.

"If these missionaries in Taixi see this, I'm afraid they will be furious and attack the Ming Dynasty." Wang Chonggu feels that this theory of natural selection is completely contrary to God's creation of the world. The theory of natural selection will have a natural inference. Human beings themselves are their own gods.

Because humans are interfering, making choices, and interfering in all aspects of plants and animals. The giant moths in Mentougou, the seedlings in Baoqisi, the horse breeds in the Daningwei paddock, etc. are all the result of human interference.

The Holy See in the West has far-reaching influence. If this thing spreads to the West, it will definitely be listed as a banned book by the Holy See. This is a demon book that goes against Tiangang and shakes the foundation of the Holy See.

The Ming Dynasty had no such worries at all. It was people-oriented. Li Chengliang even bombed the Dragon King's temple, and he didn't see the Dragon King turning over the river and wanting to kill Li Chengliang. After all, Li Chengliang really had artillery.

"But the following content is worth debating." Zhang Juzheng signaled everyone to look back. The previous natural selection and anthropogenic selection are all implemented. In the process of reproduction of species, there will be various changes, and the natural environment will change. Changes select for these changes, and human intervention is more direct, more purposeful, and faster-evolving than the natural environment.

The latter part is about the anthropic argument between Huayi and Huayi.

China has a large population. Since the pre-Qin era, the population of the Central Plains has been far ahead of the world. The huge population base has caused an increase in human changes. During the eight hundred years of chaos in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, cruel human selection began. People who grow short People who are weak and not smart enough continue to die in the cruel internal strife. The descendants become stronger and stronger, and then there is the reincarnation of more cruel dynasties.

The intensity of wars in the dynasty cycle, each major population decline and post-war population increase, and drastic social changes further accelerated people's own evolution.

Population determines change, and violent turbulence chooses change.

In the theory of natural selection, the speed of natural selection is far slower than the speed of anthropogenic selection, because changes in the natural environment are measured in hundreds of years, but the intensity of human purposeful selection is much higher than that of natural selection, and the intensity of war and population changes in the Central Plains The degree of intensity is far higher than that in the world, and then demonstrates the distinction between Huayi and Huayi.

That is to say: only a large population can produce more changes, and more intense anthropic selection has selected changes and eliminated those who cannot adapt, resulting in the physical, intellectual and other nature of the Central Plains people being much greater than the rest of the world.

"What he said actually makes sense." Wan Shihe, the Minister of Rites, first analyzed the theory of natural selection and anthropic selection of Jiecuyuan. Anthropic selection is greater than natural selection. The huge population and cruel selection of the Central Plains, and the larger scale in both horizontal and vertical aspects. The changes and choices made the people of the Central Plains inherently superior to other people in the world.

The logic is self-consistent, no problem.

Zhang Juzheng frowned and said: "Does it make sense? Taixi's shipbuilding has once gained a commodity advantage. If His Majesty hadn't determined to open the sea, this advantage would have been further expanded."

"I don't think this argument is conducive to the Ming Dynasty. After the fall of Rome, Taixi's speculations were in full swing. The Great Travel Culture made these speculations more efficient. This theory of superiority is a self-contained starting point and is the life and death enemy of the civilization of the Central Plains. ”

"The Ming Dynasty is already so powerful. Just stop and enjoy peace. Isn't this the starting point of civil and military development?"

"It is true that the theory of natural selection and anthropic selection can explain many phenomena that we cannot explain. The first part is worthy of recognition, but the latter part is best not to be publicized."

Weakness and ignorance are not obstacles to survival, arrogance is. The two Song Dynasties were the most prosperous in the world, and their culture was extremely prosperous. The arrogance of looking down on anyone made the two Song Dynasties not see the danger brewing. The Northern Song Dynasty perished in the Jin Kingdom, and the Southern Song Dynasty perished in the Jin Dynasty. Hulu.

Expelled the Tartars and restored China. Chen Gang established discipline and rescued the people.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the great emperor of the Ming Dynasty, has already done this once. If you still hold on to the Huayi distinction and live arrogantly, how can you expect another Zhu Yuanzhang to emerge from the Central Plains?

Why does this kind of luck happen to you Han people every time?
This is the reason why Zhang Juzheng opposed "Theory of Natural Selection" and "Theory of Anthropic Selection". He thought about this issue from a historical perspective. This kind of deliberately arrogant speech is not advisable.

Ming is strong, but not strong enough.

"It does not include other factors, it just refers to the changes and choices in human beings." Wan Shihe added.

"That's not possible." Zhu Yijun said directly: "Natural selection and anthropic selection discuss changes and choices, talk about natural selection and survival of the fittest. This is worthy of being widely publicized, but the theory of superiority in the latter part is not necessary. , as far as the Wenhua Palace is concerned, arrogance and arrogance are a shameful behavior. Even Qi Shuai must worry about defeat in every battle, and then worry about victory, and then win every battle. "

"Inflatedness and complacency are never advisable."

Zhu Yijun set the tone for this discussion. This was the shaping of wind and public opinion. No matter how reasonable what Jiegeyuan said, this kind of arrogance and arrogance were stumbling blocks that hindered Ming Dynasty's forge ahead.

"I will obey the Holy Instructions." Wan Shihe had no choice but to obey his leader's orders.

Your Majesty always has a strange sense of urgency. Although the Ming Dynasty's resurgence has not yet been completed and is still far from the grandeur of Yongle, your Majesty's sense of urgency and the urgency for the power of the Ming Dynasty have never weakened in the slightest. As I grow older, I show more and more urgency.

Zhu Yijun did not explain this sense of urgency. In this feudal monarchy, the emperor was wise and wise, and had a certain degree of sanctity during the Wanli period. Zhu Yijun could actually rely on dreams from heaven and man to create a kind of mystery and consolidate his imperial power.

But for the Ming Emperor, the mystery was of no use at all. Instead, he pretended to be a ghost, making the emperor appear timid, just like Taoist Master Xuanxiu.

The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was a human king, and the scholar-bureaucrats would not give up their opinions and actions just because the emperor was mysterious. Zhu Dijing was the only emperor in history who successfully rebelled and ascended the throne, claiming that he was the reincarnation of Emperor Zhenwu, Yongle Nineteenth In 2006, the newly built three main halls of Bei Ya were completely burned down. People in the Ming Dynasty did not believe in this thing at all, and they were not a monotheistic world.

Zhu Yijun really couldn't say to the proud Zhang Juzheng:

Heaven and man gave a dream. After Mr.’s death, all the achievements of the New Deal were liquidated. The power of the Ming Dynasty declined. The Eastern Yi and the Northern Barbarians merged. The Ming Dynasty was completely defeated in the Battle of Sarhu. Nurhaci, who is now being made into a specimen, established the Later Jin Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty was defeated again and again. Huang Taiji, the minor slave chieftain, founded the Qing Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty fell to civil unrest, Chongzhen hanged himself on Meishan Mountain after Li Zicheng came to Beijing, internal fighting continued in the Southern Ming Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty entered the customs and stabilized the country, and the civilization of the Central Plains perished again at the hands of the captors, and the world passed by for a hundred years. Dramatic changes, strong ships and cannons were set up on the coastline of the Central Plains, a hundred years of misery and humiliation.

For Zhang Juzheng, this was too cruel.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun was very urgent, and this urgency was interpreted by the courtiers as: persistence in making achievements.

It is not strange but also very reasonable for the emperor to want to make great achievements.

Zhu Yili listened to the content of the court discussion with great interest. Changes led to diversity, and cruel competition selected changes. Zhu Yili could understand this, so he felt that he had no problem liking the beauty of the world! Because he increased the diversity of Ming people! More changes were made.

There is another aspect of the theory of natural selection and anthropic theory that was not discussed in the court meeting, and that is that in the absence of earth-shaking changes and drastic changes in dynasties, anthropic theory still affects everyone.

The world is trapped in annexation, and people who are not strong enough or have insufficient intelligence cannot obtain enough material, and it will become very difficult to marry a wife. This is also a subtle, less drastic but real artificial choice. The poor The richer the poorer, the richer they are. Strength and beauty will be combined, and wisdom and wealth will be combined. This is a perfect match. The senior medical officer of Jieguyuan generally believes that the intensity of this artificial selection that ultimately leads to it is actually no weaker than war.

The last paragraph was even more deviant than the theory of superiority, and was not discussed at all in the court.

Two-thirds of the memorials of the Jieguyuan were directly cut off. Only the theory of natural selection and the theory of anthropic could be published in the imperial newspapers and miscellaneous newspapers. The subsequent court discussions made Zhu Yili yawn again and again. It was really boring and was based on people's hearts. A ghostly fight, a meaningless internal conflict.

After the court meeting, Zhu Yili immediately ran away to prepare for his wedding.

"Your Majesty, today's "Xiaoyao Yiwen" has been delivered." Zhang Hong sent the miscellaneous newspaper edited by Lin Fucheng of the Songjiang School to the palace.

Zhu Yijun read it with interest. This time, Lin Fucheng mainly talked about establishing a freer employment relationship, rather than a slave relationship of forced personal dependence. Lin Fucheng has now become an advocate of imperial decrees, and mainly talked about the reasonableness of abolishing humble status. sex.

Slaves can only do repetitive and meaningless work, and cannot do any creative work. The transformation of production relations into large-scale free employment relations has far-reaching significance for the Ming Dynasty. The abolition of humble status and the no longer recognition of bonds of sale are the first of them. One step, there is no creation without freedom, and there is no technological progress without creation. Only by increasing productivity can materials become richer.

In addition to advocating the imperial government's decree to abolish base status, Lin Fucheng also met with Taisi envoys Legaz, Diego De and others to discuss the Free City, the free corner occupied by the Portuguese a hundred years ago. With all kinds of freedom without any restrictions, it is a nest where the evil of human nature is infinitely magnified.

The House of Wise Men that appeared recently has brought some changes to the Free City.

This conversation was extremely interesting. Legas, who was born in Thailand, kept refuting Lin Fucheng's views, but Lin Fucheng insisted on his own opinion. The reasons for Legas' rebuttal were very sufficient. What he presented was Zhang Juzheng's public and private opinions.

Legas believed that the Ming Dynasty was too free and there was no need to continue to praise it. Everyone in the world had his own home and planned for his own interests. Everyone was selfish and everyone benefited. As far as maritime trade was concerned, the Ming Dynasty The tariff was only 6 out of 100, and maritime merchants were still chattering about it. If it were placed in the West, they would shout that Felipe was invincible. The tariffs in the countries in the West remained high. It was a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to have such light taxes.

The Ming Dynasty did not lack freedom, but lacked public spirit, public morality, and generosity, that is, caring about the world. The Guiyanwan private market case is ironclad evidence of this.

Lin Fucheng's version of Xiaoyao Anecdotes talks about the scope of freedom, and the general idea is that freedom belongs to every Ming Dynasty person.

Zhu Yijun finished reading the miscellaneous newspaper, put it aside, and picked up the memorial from Xu Wei, the governor of Nagasaki. This time Xu Wei had nothing else to do. He wanted to ask for Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes. The last Nagasaki Trade Fair was quite successful. After the daimyo enjoyed the benefits of seigniorage, they began to make money crazily.

Zhu Yijun picked up a silver coin at hand. This was the silver coin issued by Oda Nobunaga, with the purpose of fighting against the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes.
