I'm really not doing business

Chapter 880: Addressing both the symptoms and the root cause

The Ming Dynasty had formed a group of de facto cultural aristocrats who were of the same blood, had a general consensus, and identified with their own class. Before the Tang Dynasty, these people were called aristocratic families.

Zhu Yijun realized this when he discovered problems and situations during his apprenticeship to Yuan Keli.

After learning this fact, the behavior of the Ming Emperor began to become violent, even arrogant and unreasonable. The previous emperors still followed procedures, but now they no longer cared at all.

Yuan Keli wrote a visiting card, but the doorman actually left it directly in the entrance hall instead of giving it to Lu Shusheng. Lu Shusheng only found out that Yuan Keli had entered the capital after the news of cheating in the Imperial Examination spread in the capital.

The situation was still unclear at the time, and Lu Shusheng did not take immediate action. He waited until Yuan Keli won the second place in the imperial examination before going to the Quan Chu Guild Hall to ask for it.

After just a few words, Zhang Juzheng chose to release the person.

Zhu Yijun saw several problems in this incident.

First of all, how could the concierge be so bold as to intercept the visiting card left for Lu Shusheng? The concierge could obviously distinguish between important people and unimportant people.

How did the concierge do it?
Zhu Yijun asked someone to get the visiting cards from the Chu Guild Hall and the Lu Mansion. He read them all and understood the reason.

It is not about judging by the paper and ink used in the visiting card. Some people who want to curry favor with the rich and powerful will specifically look for some precious paper and ink to write visiting cards. This is simply a joke in the eyes of the doormen of wealthy families.

The distinction between gatekeepers is made based on the style of writing, choice of words and sentences, and calligraphy.

Yuan Keli was born into a poor family. The hereditary title of centurion was like nothing to him and his life was extremely difficult. There had never been a Jinshi in his family. He was the first one to go to Beijing to take the exam, so he did not understand many of the rules.

His visiting card was written very respectfully, and in order to avoid making a fool of himself, Yuan Keli carefully considered the wording and the choice of words.

This careful consideration made the doorman see through Yuan Keli's background. Only when he wanted to ask a favor from others would he be so solemn and use so many flowery words on an unimportant visiting card.

The visiting cards of real wealthy families and important guests will not have so many flowery words, but between the lines there will be a few very high-end words that ordinary people cannot understand at all. The whole visiting card is natural and without any pretense.

For example, a quick meeting, several years passed in a flash, the Xuangui was completed, the food was packed and the horse was mounted, and the alms were received, etc.

Even the writing format is completely different.

For example, Yuan Keli did not have a monogram. A monogram is a special design of a person's name or pseudonym, especially for some distinctive local nobles. Their monograms are very beautiful, just like Song Huizong's monogram "the only one in the world".

Calligraphy is very simple, but the official script requires special training. There are requirements for the size and spacing of each character. However, the official script is a font for examinations and usually does not appear in private letters such as visiting cards.

As soon as the doorman saw Yuan Keli's visiting card, he didn't need to read it carefully. He just looked at the signature, which was a very neat name. It turned out that he was from a small family and had come to the Lu Mansion to beg for food. He immediately started to make things difficult for him. He would not give him any food or send him a visiting card. If he wanted to become his disciple, he had to learn from Cheng Men Li Xue to show his sincerity.

The signature is a carefully designed monogram, and most of the text is understandable. If there is something that you don't understand, then it means that the guest is a distinguished guest. You will not ask for anything, nor will you neglect him. You will immediately invite him to wait in the mansion, and even serve him a cup of good tea and send a maid to serve him, to avoid neglecting the distinguished guest.

The second question is, why did Zhang Juzheng choose to release him immediately? Lu Shusheng, the former Minister of Rites who had betrayed Zhang Juzheng and was forced to retire, had come to his door, but Zhang Juzheng actually gave him such a big face?

It was not just Lu Shusheng but also Wang Shizhen. Wang Shizhen laughed at Zhang Juzheng as a mud-legged peasant who had not even washed himself clean, saying that Zhang Juzheng came from a bad background and he said this more than once. However, Zhang Juzheng did not do anything to Wang Shizhen and even found him a job as the governor of Yunyang.

It was just that Wang Shizhen traveled around the country while serving as the governor of Yunyang, indulging himself in the beauty of nature and had no interest in state affairs, and was eventually dismissed.

Lu Shusheng is an easy person to deal with, but there is more than one person behind him. There are the Lu and Lin families, especially the Songjiang Qingpu Lin family, which is also a huge family in Songjiang. The same goes for Wang Shizhen.

Zhang Juzheng knew clearly that Lu Shusheng and Wang Shizhen had powerful families behind them. These powerful families were closely related and had been married for generations. Even if they had never met each other, they could be considered old friends. It was not just friendship; the interests of these powerful families were completely tied together, and they would prosper together and suffer together.

The family system is a one-way street. Even the servants in Lu Shusheng's mansion know the rules that others will never know in their lifetime.

Zhang Juzheng had to give this face. In the officialdom, he was a high-ranking prime minister, but outside the officialdom, he was just a Jinshi with a not-so-good background. He had neither family friends nor in-laws, nor any complete interest ties.

The third question is, what is the basis for maintaining these universal tacit understandings? Some people are even thousands of miles apart and have never met each other, but they can confirm that the other party is "one of their own" as soon as they meet.

Zhu Yijun soon found out and used various strange rules to determine the scope of his people.

If you follow these rules, you are one of the same kind. If you don’t follow these rules or even don’t know them, you are an outlier.

Class identity is more important than ethnic identity. One can even judge class at a glance.

When Zhu Yijun was summoned to meet Yuan Keli alone, he stretched out his hand. His hands were as rough as Yuan Keli's, obviously with calluses left by long-term martial arts practice and farming. Xiong Tingbi also knew how to farm, but as a cowherd, he had to know everything, otherwise he would have starved to death long ago.

From the fact that Yuan Keli became Zhu Yijun's apprentice, Zhu Yijun saw the actual existence of cultural aristocrats in the Ming Dynasty. They used various rules to determine whether one was from a wealthy family, a family of scholars, and then kept others at a distance, forming a de facto class barrier.

Even if you spend your entire life and become a prime minister, you cannot even get in, let alone pass the imperial examination and change your fate. Even if you seize the world and become an emperor, what good will it do?
The Confucius Mansion in Yanzhou was quite disdainful of the Ming imperial family. Zhu of Fengyang, a nouveau riche, was the most typical example.

Even though you, Zhu Yuanzhang, have conquered the world, you are still a poor laborer whose parents and elder brother starved to death. When these scholars and scholars talk to each other, they probably make fun of Zhu Yuanzhang for begging for food.

Yuan Keli rejected Lu Shusheng. Apparently, through the act of becoming Lu Shusheng's disciple, he realized that he came from a poor family and was not the same kind of person as the wealthy and powerful families. Even if he forced his way in, he would only bring trouble upon himself.

The powerful and wealthy people, local celebrities and gentry who were imprisoned in the military camp in the North City in the Southern Court were not particularly afraid, because the emperor had not started killing people and their heads were still on their necks, so they were not afraid.

Because you only need to write a letter to your relatives and friends to get them to cover for you.

For hundreds of years, these cultural aristocrats have survived in this way. Even if they were caught in the vortex and quagmire of political struggles, it seemed that as long as a letter was sent out from prison, someone would rescue them, and the rescue would be successful.

Song Yingchang didn't know why the emperor was so angry. His family had already abandoned the cultural aristocratic lifestyle and changed their stance. Annexation would easily lead to civil unrest, but controlling more means of production would create a monopoly and the family would prosper more. Therefore, he supported His Majesty in exercising the imperial power.

Zhu Yijun ignored the procedures and directly tried the entire family of Lin Qing, including the seven families of the Lin family who had colluded with the Japanese, and the officials of Chizhou Prefecture who were involved in the ship hijacking case, just to serve the appetizer first.

It was to tell these cultural nobles that he, the emperor, was an authoritarian emperor, and the Emperor's Earth-Breaking Fist began to explode again.

The Ming Emperor's guard of honor officially passed through the Yongzhen Gate. The city wall had been completely demolished and the city gate no longer existed. A wide road had been built, but the moat had not been filled in. Both sides of the moat were lined with green trees. The small stone bridge over the moat and the shore were full of onlookers. After watching the emperor's guard of honor pass by, they smiled with relief.

After all, there is always a thorn in the emperor's heart, which is a major concern for the people of Jinan Prefecture. What if the emperor is a butcher and starts a killing spree in the name of revenge for his ancestors? There will be no second Tie Xuan in Jinan Prefecture.

The Zhu family was capable of such a thing. After all, Zhu Di's Northern Expedition was based on the pretext of the Siege of Baideng by Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang. In order to justify his actions, Zhu Di dug up old accounts from 1600 years ago.

Shi means the masses; Zhen means righteousness. If one can use the masses to be righteous, he can be king. A teacher must have a name to be justified.

The Ming Emperor's willingness to enter the city of Jinan during his southern tour represented a conciliatory attitude and removed this thorn.

"Stop." Zhu Yijun suddenly said to Feng Bao outside the car. Wang Yaozhuo was a little confused, as it was still quarter of an hour's drive to Jinan University.

"The thousand-jin gate of Yongzhen Gate." After waiting for the carriage to stop, Zhu Yijun pointed out the window and said to Wang Yaozhuo.

Wang Yi'e demolished the city walls and gates of Jinan Prefecture to build a new city defense system to adapt to the changes of the times. Song Yingchang removed the sluice gate and placed it in the Tiegong Temple beside the moat, in front of the gate of Tie Xuan, the land god, which was considered a good use of waste.

"Is it the thousand-jin gate from that year?" Wang Yaozhuo looked at it carefully and asked curiously.

"Who knows if it's the same piece from back then? I heard that Emperor Chengzu Wen melted the sluice gate to vent his anger and poured it into Tie Xuan's tomb. But it's just a rumor, and no one knows whether it's true or not." Zhu Yijun looked at the iron-boned Tie Gong Temple before shouting to Feng Bao, "Let's go."

"Bang bang bang!"

A series of noises suddenly rang out. Zhu Yijun frowned and immediately opened the box in the carriage. Inside was a full set of iron armor. The noises sounded a bit like the sound of gunpowder explosions. Zhu Yijun protected Wang Yaozhuo with one hand and opened the car window with the other hand, only to realize that he had made a misunderstanding.

It was not that Song Yingchang had arranged a huge surprise for His Majesty the Emperor, luring him into a trap and catching him in it, that the defense of Jinan City was entirely taken over by the elite soldiers of the Ming Dynasty's Beijing Camp and the Imperial Guards. Song Yingchang was crazy to do this.

It was indeed the sound of gunpowder exploding, but it was actually fireworks rising into the sky.

The emperor's procession had reached Wulongtan and was about to arrive at Qianjianmen, which means Qianjian Kunshun. Opposite Wulongtan and south of Qianjianmen, the servants of Jinan government were setting off fireworks continuously. The order given by the governor was: start setting off fireworks when you see the emperor and stop when he enters Qianjianmen.

"What a lively scene." Wang Yaozhuo looked at the fireworks going off outside and said with a smile, "My husband said yesterday that there is no way to withdraw from the list of families that have donated their land. Even the cabinet ministers and chancellors of the Chenghua Dynasty are on it. Song Yingchang's family started to return the land in the 13th year of the Wanli reign, so they have long been on the list of families that have donated their land."

"My husband is a little too cautious."

"My lady is right, but there is nothing we can do. During Emperor Shizong's southern tour, the palace burned down three times. We have to be cautious." Zhu Yijun watched the fireworks exploding in the sky. He couldn't see anything in broad daylight. All the fireworks were wasted.

Song Yingchang himself and his family had made their choice long ago. To assassinate the emperor at this time would be to dig their own graves. Only if the Wanli Reforms were a great success would their family's choice be of great significance. Otherwise, they would be suppressed by the old cultural aristocracy to the point of complete extinction.

This is a battle of life and death.

Amid the sound of fireworks, the emperor's guard of honor entered the Qianshun Gate, and what came into view was the famous Daming Lake with its rippling blue waves.

Daming Lake is not a lake in the Ming Dynasty. It was called Daming Lake by Yuan Haowen in his Travels in Jinan during the Jin Dynasty. The name was never changed. The Qing Dynasty did not change the name because the water of Daming Lake would flow into Xiaoqing River, which belongs to the Daqing River system. This made the Qing emperor overjoyed and felt that it was the destiny of the Ming Dynasty to return to the Qing Dynasty, so the name of Daming Lake was retained.

The water is bright and clear, and the mountains are empty and rainy.

It rained in Jinan yesterday and the sky just cleared up. The sun was shining from the clear sky. The spring breeze ruffled the surface of the lake, making it sparkle. There was still fog in the air. The Thousand Buddha Mountain in the distance was misty and distant in the fog, and the mountain looked a bit hazy, just right.

"Tsk tsk, this Song Yingchang is a considerate person. Look, there is a beautiful woman rowing on the lake. She is not too far away, so I can see her clearly. Tsk tsk, it's only April, she is not afraid of freezing even if she wears a thin layer of gauze!"

"Your Majesty, do you want to choose a few? Forget it, don't choose, just take them all with you."

"It also saves the outer court ministers and my mother from saying that I have been monopolizing Your Majesty all day long and refused to let go, causing my sisters to not see Your Majesty for months." Wang Yaozhuo had been enjoying the scenery, but when he looked carefully at the lake, he saw several beauties rowing a boat. His good mood immediately disappeared, and he began to speak sarcastically.

"Madam, are you serious about this?" Zhu Yijun immediately asked with great interest.

Wang Yaozhuo was not angry at the emperor's interested look. She said with a smile on her face: "Don't take it seriously! They are a bunch of coquettish bitches. If you take them back, they will cause chaos!"

"Hahaha." Zhu Yijun laughed. He was not interested in the beauty rowing on the boat. Although he didn't know how much silver this position was sold for, it was obvious that the money for Song Yingchang's fireworks came from here.

The blind date event that Lin Qing held in Beiji Pavilion of Nanyong Imperial College was somewhat similar to this scene. If you want to row a boat in front of the emperor, it will definitely not be easy.

Zhu Yijun didn't like this scene very much, not because he was being pretentious. He could take concubines, but they had to have clean family backgrounds. There was no telling how many demons and monsters there might be among this pool of beauties.

Zhu Yijun actually guessed correctly. Song Yingchang really sold all the rowing positions. The front row was 2,000 silver per person, and the back row was 500 silver per person. Only weak girls of marriageable age could get on the boat by themselves. A total of 20,000 silver were sold, which was just enough to cover the money for the fireworks at Qianshun Gate.

We should save where we can and spend where we can, and of course make a grand celebration of welcoming the emperor, but we should not earn a penny less than what we should earn. This was probably one of the prices of the Wanli Reform, and the court became increasingly stingy with money.

On the banks of Daming Lake are located the Jinan Prefecture Government Office, Shandong Provincial Government, Censorate, Shandong Governor's Office, Dusi Office, Grain Transport Office, and finally Jinan University.

"Your Majesty has arrived!" Feng Bao shouted loudly, flicking his whisk.

"Your Majesty, we have arrived at Jinan University." Feng Bao reminded His Majesty in a low voice that they had arrived.

"Your Majesty, we pay our respects to you. Long live the emperor. Long live the emperor." As soon as Zhu Yijun stepped out of the car, he heard thunderous cheers. All the officials in Shandong knelt in front of the door waiting.

"No need to be so polite." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, signaling his ministers to stand up.

Zhu Yijun stood in front of the gate of Jinan University and looked at the school. Because it was modeled after the Royal Institute of Technology, the layout was exactly the same. The Jinan University was built by the Third Shandong Engineering Corps. The first regiment repaired the highway; the second regiment repaired the shipyard, workshops, etc.; the third regiment was specifically responsible for building the school buildings.

You can see that it was done with great care, there is a lying stone in front of the gate with the words, “One who does it is only one, and he who is faithful is the only one.”

"Sir, General Qi." Zhu Yijun stood still and suddenly said to Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang behind him.

"I'm here." Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang hurriedly took two steps forward and walked to the side of His Majesty. It was obvious that His Majesty had something to say.

Zhu Yijun looked at the Jinan University Hall and said with great certainty: "Killing people is only a temporary solution. The Dinghai school system is the fundamental solution. Killing people can relieve anger and deter others, but to eliminate a class, a new class must replace it. The Ming Dynasty has already formed a de facto cultural aristocracy. To kill them, we must also kill the environment in which they were born."

"These gentry bureaucrats have monopolized the path to power by monopolizing the spread of knowledge, and the popularization of education by the Dinghai school system can completely eliminate the foundation on which they depend for survival. Without the Dinghai school system, no matter how many are killed, it will only be effective for a short time."

"We need to treat both the symptoms and the root cause, and only by treating both the symptoms and the root cause can we cure the Ming Dynasty's illness."

Zhu Yijun stood in front of the gate of Jinan University and, in a voice that was not very loud but extremely firm, stated the reason why he wanted to come to Jinan University to see it for himself. Killing people is a temporary solution, while the school system is a fundamental solution. He could only feel at ease when he saw the existence of the university with his own eyes.

The Li Ju Law and the Ding Hai School System were the two most fundamental new policies established in the 15th year of the Wanli reign. All other new policies grew out of these two.

The gold narrative of issuing banknotes is closely related to the Single Whip Law. It will take ten years just to complete the gold storage. It is not an imminent new policy, but the university hall in front of us is the important matter.

"Your Majesty is wise." Qi Jiguang and Zhang Juzheng bowed their heads and said.

Despite his rage, the emperor was still very calm in controlling the direction of the new policy. This was what Zhang Juzheng wanted to see most. He could now focus on his narrative of gratitude. This time, his purpose in entering the city was to remove the thorn between the emperor and the people of Shandong, unite all those who could be united, win over more people, and support the Wanli Reform.

"Governor Song, have you paid the tax for selling flower boats?" Zhu Yijun asked coldly as he looked at Song Yingchang who was walking towards him.

Song Yingchang immediately took out a tax receipt from his sleeve, handed it to Feng Bao, bowed his head and said, "Pay it. A total of six thousand silver coins, pay it in full."

Feng Bao took a look at the tax invoice and nodded to His Majesty. It was indeed the tax payment certificate from the Shandong Tax Inspection Office, and the six thousand silver coins had been fully paid.

"That's fine, my dear Minister Song. You must remember to pay your taxes and don't give anyone any handle against you. The key to being an official is to be cautious. You must be careful in everything. Let's go to the school." When Zhu Yijun heard that he had to pay taxes, his cold expression immediately melted and he said with a smile.

Zhang Juzheng looked as if it was a matter of course. In the eyes of the cultural aristocrats, silver was just a piece of trash, but being greedy for money was better than dying of poverty. Everything required silver, and the court could do nothing without silver.

On the contrary, the officials on the ground in Shandong were shocked. They were shocked that Song Yingchang had the guts to sell the opportunity to row in front of His Majesty! They were shocked that Song Yingchang knew His Majesty well enough to prepare the tax receipts, as if he knew the emperor was going to ask! They were even more shocked by the emperor's reaction. When he heard about the tax, his face changed immediately, and he kept saying "My dear minister"!
How did the Ming Dynasty become like this? Is this a manifestation of the collapse of rituals and music?
Song Yingchang was very familiar with the theory of contradiction, the theory of production diagram, and the theory of class. He knew very well that for His Majesty, making profits from major events was not a crime, even if it was done in the name of the emperor. After all, the emperor himself took advantage of the opening of the sales in May to sell the nomination of the best wine in the world, and a copy of his calligraphy cost 100,000 silver coins.

But making profits from major events without paying taxes is a huge crime!
Queen Wang accompanied the emperor into the campus of Jinan University, which had the same layout as the Royal Academy of Sciences. Queen Wang was very happy because His Majesty was not interested in those slutty girls.

Zhu Yijun arrived at the library and met with important officials of Jinan University, such as the chief academic officer, the supervisor, and the academic director. He then met with thirty students, who were carefully selected from the College of Agriculture, the College of Medicine, the College of Geology and Normal University, the College of Mechanical Engineering, the College of Maritime Affairs, and the College of Astronomy.

Zhu Yijun took a quick look and confirmed that Song Yingchang had not sold the students' spots to meet the emperor, because most of the 30 students in front of him could not afford it.

The Agricultural College has the largest number of students, but they all come from poor backgrounds. If they are not poor laborers, who would go to the university to study agriculture?
In terms of status, only these students of the Agricultural College could be considered the emperor's disciples, because the agricultural books they read were compiled bit by bit by Zhu Yijun and Grand Minister of Agriculture Xu Zhenming over the past ten years. Xu Zhenming also came to realize that he could do nothing but farming, so he just continued farming.

Zhu Yijun also talked the most with the agricultural students, mainly about kelp cultivation. Zhu Yijun was indeed not very familiar with it, so he asked a few more questions. The agricultural book on kelp cultivation was written by Yao Guangqi, and it was all about practical experience.

"It turns out that planting and harvesting kelp is so troublesome." After Zhu Yijun talked in detail with the agricultural students, he realized that he had thought that planting kelp was simple. Planting kelp is extremely troublesome. The seedlings must be raised on land and then put into the sea. The reclamation of sea fields is also very cumbersome and almost as troublesome as on land, and it also requires careful care.

But kelp is not very expensive. It is hard-earned money and also the livelihood of Shandong fishermen.

"Let's go and check out the cafeteria." After Zhu Yijun finished chatting with the students, he suddenly added an itinerary to check out the cafeteria.

The quality of the cafeteria can, to a large extent, test the level of a university's chief academic officer, because the cafeteria is the place where filth and dirt are most likely to hide.

Zhu Yijun went to the rice warehouse. It was very clean, with only a few granaries. He picked a granary at random and motioned General Ti to open it and check.

"What is this?" Zhu Yijun saw something like a scented piece hanging on the door of the granary and asked curiously. The rice was free of worms, which proved that the tuition money given by the court was used in the right place.

Song Yingchang obviously didn't know this detail, so he asked the chief priest to answer. The chief priest's face turned red because he didn't know what the scented notes were. Soon the chef was called over.

"This was developed by the medical school. They say that hanging it can repel insects. It's made by soaking peppercorns in wine. Change one piece every day. It's really effective." The chef understood it very well and answered the emperor's question immediately. He spoke very quickly and looked very nervous.

After asking carefully, Zhu Yijun found out that this was an anthelmintic tablet made by Jinan Medical College. The medical student wanted to know which of the traditional anthelmintics such as peach leaves, garlic, peppercorns, and bay leaves was better, so he tried various methods and finally found that peppercorns soaked in wine had the best extraction effect, followed by bay leaves.

Sichuan pepper is a ubiquitous spice grown throughout the Ming Dynasty. Compared with rice and flour infestations caused by insects, taking insect repellent tablets is the most economical way to deal with it.

"Very good. I am very satisfied." Zhu Yijun carefully took a piece of incense stick, put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it, and sincerely expressed his satisfaction to Song Yingchang, the chief priest, and the chef. It is not a problem to make some money by occupying the canteen. Profits come and go in the world, and no one will do it without profit.

But if you lose your conscience, you can't blame the law for being ruthless.

After leaving the rice and flour granary, Zhu Yijun checked the oil, meat, stoves and other places one by one. Obviously, they had been cleaned carefully in preparation for the inspection, and they were very clean. The chefs were very attentive. In the chefs' view, they were cooking for the future pillars of the Ming Dynasty, so naturally they would not be sloppy.

"That's right." When Zhu Yijun finished reviewing the documents, he stood in front of the gate of Jinan University and said to Song Yingchang, "Shandong has the least population outflow. There is a reason for this. It is all thanks to the dedication of all the officials. I thank you on behalf of the people of Ming Dynasty."

"Gentlemen, you must be good officials. No matter what, you must not let the bandits come back. If they come back, it means we have failed."

Song Yingchang led the Shandong officials to bow their heads again and said in unison: "We will follow the emperor's instructions."

"Let's go." Zhu Yijun waved his hand, got on the carriage, and went towards the palace. He would take the train to Xuzhou the day after tomorrow.

"We respectfully bid farewell to His Majesty." Song Yingchang bid farewell to the Emperor. When the emperor's procession left, Song Yingchang breathed a sigh of relief. This inspection was a relatively perfect answer. At least His Majesty saw the determination and actions of the people of Shandong to govern well.

Ling Yunyi killed many people back then and cleaned up the land of Shandong thoroughly. Only then did Shandong rise from the ashes and usher in a new life.

Whoever allows Shandong bandits to make a comeback will be the enemy of the people of Shandong.

Similarly, whoever makes the people of Jiangnan sink into hell is the enemy of the people of Jiangnan.

The Ming Dynasty is heading down a path that has never been imagined. That is the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty of all people in the world.
