The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 263 Cosmic Truth
Yizhen County, Yangzhou Prefecture, is later known as Yizheng City.

As the confluence of the Yangtze River and the Cao River, there is an endless stream of passing boats, and the residents along the river are used to this scene.

I don't know when, more and more officials appeared.

There are often people walking on the embankment, and from time to time, three or five people point and paint, not knowing what they are doing.

The wind blows the willows on both sides of the bank.

Numerous small lands have been subdivided by countless rivers, and endless green has also been born, which is unique to the northern scenery.

"When~"

In the mountain, the big bell of the temple is long and loud, so that the villagers at the foot of the mountain and the people working in the fields have a clearer understanding of time.

Smoke wafts from the roof.

A middle-aged and elderly man in a long gown, holding a wine jug in his arms, looked at the foot of the mountain drunkenly, his eyes full of yearning.

The mountain is not high.

So middle-aged people can even see a spinning wheel under the eaves in the yard of the farmer's house at the foot of the mountain.

A small table is placed in the courtyard.

Seven or eight people eat around the table, including the elderly and children.

Outside the farmhouse are countless pieces of farmland divided by ridges, and the plowshares left in the fields can also be seen.

After eating, people rested for a while, then returned to the farmland, pulled out the cattle, and continued plowing in the morning.

After plowing an acre, start a new one.

This ordinary farm scene actually made the middle-aged man mesmerized and intoxicated, reaching the state of ecstasy.

"Amitabha."

A Buddha's horn sounded, and the abbot of the temple walked up to the man and accompanied him to visit the foot of the mountain.

"The common people live and work in peace and contentment, cultivate morality and forge their hearts. It can be described as the world of the great way. The poor monks who practice and practice come back from the north. I don't know what is the obstacle of birth."

The mountain is not high and the temple is not big, but it is a good place to cultivate one's mind. Lian Zining has lived in this temple for half a month.

"Master."

Lian Zining murmured: "Look at the clothes on their bodies. Although they are simple and clean, they are not new. Look at the food on their table. Although they can have food and clothing, it is just that. Look at their work. Although they are hardworking, they are not new. Forging ahead, but also full of hard work.”

The old monk showed an inexplicable look in his eyes.

Isn't this kind of life not good?

"Although their clothes are old, they can cover their bodies and make people polite; although their food is not abundant, they can fill their stomachs and make people virtuous; although they work hard, they can reap rewards and make people virtuous."

The old monk's face is full of great wisdom, like a man of profound morals. "Only with these, can people advocate enlightenment and explore the truth of the universe, which is the responsibility of my way."

"Yu, by the house."

"Zhou, Zhouyu is extremely overwhelmed."

"Zhuangzi": "Beside the sun and the moon, they hold the universe and coincide with it." At this time, "yu" refers to all spaces, and "Zhou" refers to all times.

From "the past and the present are called the universe, and the four directions are called the universe." to "the hail and snow are boundless, and the clouds are flying and carrying the universe."

Then to "Insects are soaked in the lake, and the eight universes are powerfully vibrated."

"Universe" no longer refers to a specific position or location, but to all space; the "universe" here already means infinite time with no beginning and no end, and the "universe" is already infinite.

The exploration of the world by the ancestors has always been recorded in writing, and has been passed down and improved from generation to generation.

And now is the early Ming Dynasty.

After a hundred years of sinking, the achievements of civilization in the Song Dynasty have all but disappeared. For example, the achievements of mathematics can only be talked about recovery, not progress, in the Ming Dynasty.

In ancient Chinese civilization, the Song Dynasty was a watershed.

Before the Song Dynasty, the ancient civilization was constantly progressing, encompassing all things. Even in the period of the Five Chaos, the fire of civilization survived; after the death of the Song Dynasty, the civilization entered a period of ups and downs: slipping, rising, and slipping again.

The integration of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism has made it impossible to separate you from me.

Lian Zining would have been touched by the remark made by the temple presiding officer before going to Peiping, and felt that it was justified.

But he had seen Peiping.

One factory after another in Beiping, especially when he went to the headquarters of China Heavy Industry for the first time, with the huge chimneys, Lian Zining felt a huge impact.

What frightened him even more was that he felt a brand new social model in Peiping.

Look back and see the village at the foot of the mountain.

The land to the tiller and the house to the home are obviously desirable social models, but compared with the model in Beiping, Lian Zining has already felt the difference between the two.

Now Lian Zining is lost in his heart, he can't find the direction of life, and even feels that the way he is pursuing is wrong.

Not only can people not be bound to the land, but they should be released from the land. Isn't that exactly the model of Peking.

What Lian Zining didn't know was that times had indeed changed.

The level of agricultural technology in the Song Dynasty has been developed to solve the problem of field labor force, that is to say, through the farming model of the Song Dynasty, a surplus population outside of agriculture has been born.

It was precisely because of the birth of a surplus population that the economic prosperity of the Song Dynasty was supported.

So many ideas were born in the Song Dynasty.Among them, the change of imperial power is one of the representatives.

In the Qin and Han Dynasties, due to the backwardness of farming techniques and crops, industrialization could not be supported, and people must be confined to the fields.

in short.

Because the advancement of technology has brought opportunities for the transformation of the social model, the natural speed of civilization development in the Song Dynasty is the correct path.

Although the Song Dynasty was conquered, it does not mean that the direction of civilization is wrong.

Lian Zining is undoubtedly a smart person.

Likewise, he is a man who pursues the Tao.

Otherwise, he would not stand out from the competition and get the second place in high school, otherwise, he would not risk his life to criticize Zhu Di.

In this era.

As one of the top-notch people in wisdom, character, and knowledge, it is normal for Lian Zining to be lost.

Precisely because he understood the huge gap between the Beiping model and the existing Ming model.

Not only saw the theory, but also saw the real thing.

The facts made Lian Zining unable to change.

"If the truth is in the wrong hands, is the truth still the truth?" Lian Zining couldn't help but took out the flagon, and greedily took a big gulp.

He wished so badly that he could get drunk.

"Amitabha."

The old monk clasped his hands together, lowered his head and closed his eyes, and then looked at Lian Zining with compassion. From the old monk's point of view, the benefactor in front of him was in a sea of ​​suffering.

"Human nature is greedy, but knowledge is innocent."

The words of the old monk are full of philosophy.

As far as philosophy is concerned, China has been the crown of the world since ancient times. This small mountain, small temple, and a random monk have spoken admirable words.

Lian Zining put down the jug and looked at the foot of the mountain with a lonely face.

He has been here looking at the foot of the mountain for half a month, seeing the sunrise and sunset every day, which is very painful because he can't find a solution.

It is definitely not ordinary people who wish the world to be full of order and rules. Since ancient times, scholars have been pursuing this realm.

No matter what the personal virtues of the scholars are, their external knowledge must be upward and tirelessly improved.

such as food.

From herbs to grains, the Song Dynasty changed the crops produced by the ancestors for thousands of years, just like introducing and improving rice.

Just like the introduction of sweet potatoes in the late Ming Dynasty.

Barbarism allows people to retain the ferocity of fighting against nature, while civilization makes people break away from animal nature and become human.

A civilized person, in a barbaric world, is bound to be defeated by barbarians.

Even the civilized world can be conquered by the barbaric world.

But civilization will not disappear, it just does not exist in this world, waiting for the new era to regain its brilliance.

"Master."

"If the price of this truth is the lives of tens of millions of people, or even make the world fall into hell, is that still the truth?"

Lian Zining straightened his waist, and he became the man of lofty ideals in the palace who overwhelmed many competitors with an excellent article on strengthening the country and enriching the people.

The old monk lowered his head.

He couldn't answer this question.

On that day, Lian Zining left Yangzhou, sat on the back of a donkey, and returned to Yingtian Mansion not long after, and was questioned by many people.

"Yan Wangfu is full of ambitions!"

Lian Zining said to the people, he didn't just say that much.

of course.

Some people believed in his remarks, and some believed it, but thought that the biggest vigilance object should be King Jin.

Some people even don't think there is anything wrong with it, King Qin is dead, and the biggest threat is gone.

……

Ying Tianfu.

The commander of Jin Yiwei who supervised the Lanyu case passed away, and the new generation of commander is Li Daoxin recommended by him.

It wasn't originally, but the saint suddenly agreed.

Li Daoxin was promoted by Jiang Xian. In front of a tomb, Li Daoxin paid homage to his old boss. Because of his care, Jiang Xian's family was well taken care of.

As the "old man" of Jin Yiwei, he has seen all the changes in the political situation of the court over the years.

After the death of the prince Zhu Biao, the political situation in Ming Dynasty changed from a stable struggle to an intense one, which promoted the scale of the Lanyu case in disguise.

After the death of King Qin last year, the political situation seemed to be calmer again, at least not as repeated as in the previous two years.

To accurately describe it, the status of the emperor's grandson has been stabilized.

For example, a few months ago, the sage issued a decree: "I will dismiss the prime minister, set up a mansion, a ministry, and a metropolitan procuratorate to manage general affairs, and the power of affairs belongs to the imperial court."

"The successor is not allowed to re-appoint the prime minister. The minister dares to place a heavy code on the one who asks."

"The emperor's relatives will not be pardoned for treason. For the rest of the crimes, the clan meeting will decide. The judiciary is only allowed to sue, but not to arrest him. All laws and regulations will always be obeyed."

This decree established the political structure in the future.

Let the court obtain administrative power and draw a red line for the vassal king.

There are also regulations prohibiting the use of tattoos, stabbing, slaying, castration, etc., so that the criminal law has been greatly changed from severe to severe. The meaning behind these changes is very great.

Li Daoxin returned to the city in a carriage, sat in the office, compiled the latest cipher texts, and then respectfully entered the palace to meet the saint.

The ciphertext was written by Ge Cheng.

This Zhu Di was convinced that in the future battle of Jingnan, the situation in Beiping would be handed over to the imperial court, and the long history of being furiously punished by Zhu Di once again handed over the situation in Peiping to the imperial court in an all-round way.

To be precise, that is the emperor.
