The Great Industrial Ming Dynasty Started from Beiping

Chapter 607 The heart is heaven and earth
"Thousands of acres of land are passed down from generation to generation, honoring the ancestors and benefiting the descendants."

Most newspapers across the Ming Dynasty publicized this.

to the opposite.

The Ming army's good news outside can no longer stimulate the people. They are used to the Ming army's victory. Ordinary good news is considered to be the case in people's hearts, but failure is a strange thing.

The Cabinet and the Six Ministries, in conjunction with the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau system, have promoted the plan of replenishing the population in the border areas. This has become a top priority, and even the work of welcoming His Royal Highness the Emperor when he returns has been put at the back of the queue.

After all, there are still a few months left.

Zhu Gaochi paid great attention to formulating the planned plans according to the local conditions and carrying them out in an orderly manner in various places.

The Great Wall is good.

The merit is in the future.

But the people who built the Great Wall were miserable.

Therefore, some people pointed out that building the Great Wall in ancient times was an act that cost more than the gains, wasted people and money, and had a conservative and negative attitude, and they criticized this.

But they did not mention that in order to stop the neighboring countries that had invaded the main plains by themselves, because the people in the neighboring countries could not survive, they had to go to their countries to survive. In order to stop these people, they also built very long and high walls.

Even in later generations, a country did this to stop unarmed refugees, not to mention that in ancient times, it was to resist impoverished bandits.

Great Wall.

For thousands of years, it has protected many peaceful people from the threat of bandits.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi proposed to pay attention to the present and look forward to the future.

Since Gao Zhen was mentioned before, he went back and held several conferences. He suppressed the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau's thoughts about Zhejiang and calmed down to deal with what the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau should do.

Came to Wenhua Hall again.

Many officials are unknown to them, some have only heard their names, and some have not even heard their names. The most eye-catching ones are a group of young people who were cultivated by the Imperial Academy system in Peking.

This group of people has become the most dazzling existence. Although they are doing ordinary government work, their labels are too obvious. If the situation does not change, they will become a new political force in less than 20 years.

Gao Zhen came very early.

It was not yet dawn.

Because he had to take a train back to Peking in the afternoon.

The direction of the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau next year will be decided at the conference in Peiping. After all, the main layout of the Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau, in addition to Hubei City and some state capitals, one-third of the force is in the three provinces surrounding Peiping and Jinzhou.

early in the morning.

In the garden of Wenhua Palace, there were actually several young officials running.

"This is?"

"Savage spirit."

The clerk in the clerk's office smiled.

This new group of people pursues the heart and pays attention to the self. Some people have already called it the study of mind. They also understand some of the documents and are greatly shocked.

"Psychology?"

Gao Zhen asked curiously.

He had been busy with official duties over the years and could not keep up with him in many aspects. He did not even know about the rise of Xin Xue, so he quickly asked.

"There is no complete explanation. It is said that it comes from Peking."

The clerk laughed.

After Gao Zhen heard that it was from Peiping, he became more and more curious. He had been in Peiping for a long time, but he didn't know about this thing.

"I also know a little about it, so I can't be a teacher. As far as I know, it seems that a person's behavior is determined by his heart. What he is like on the inside will be revealed by his external appearance."

"For example, society is complex and ever-changing. Only by learning knowledge through reading can we understand and recognize society. It also involves studying things to gain knowledge and exploring the principles of all things in nature."

"It can also be summarized as why the common people behave submissively in front of local officials. It is clear that Emperor Taizu has returned power to the common people, and they have the power and righteousness to fight against officials who do evil."

"In addition to not knowing how to read and having little knowledge, those who have read also have aspirations and believe that the resources controlled by officials can bring benefits to themselves. With this idea, they will Demonstrating cowering and ingratiating behavior.”

The more Gao Zhen listened, the more confused she became.

Each sentence seems to make sense, but what do they mean together?

I don’t know much about paperwork either.

He only knows that young people from Guozi today pursue self-strength, that is, inner strength.

These people believe that as long as they take conscience as the foundation and unite their knowledge and action, they will be mentally strong, fearless of the outside world, not afraid of any hardships, and cannot be defeated by accidents, and become people who cannot be invaded by any evil.

How strong the heart is, how big a person is.

Gao Zhen felt moved in her heart.

Society seemed to be undergoing invisible changes. Gao Zhen couldn't help feeling that time was not forgiving, and people came and went from generation to generation. It took only a few years of work, but he was somewhat unable to keep up with the development of the times.

After taking one last look at the runners, Gao Zhen followed the documents into the Wenhua Hall.

Wenhua Hall is the political center of the world.

It is no longer a simple palace, there are many public houses around it, and there are many officials on duty. The relaxed environment gives them more freedom, especially the new generation of people from the Imperial College, which has brought huge influence vitality.

Inject the vitality they were accustomed to in school into the rigid palace.

Zhu Gaochi had already stood up.

Chunhe palace.

The children are also dressed up and the family eats together.

The breakfast is rich but not luxurious.

Egg custard, goat milk, beef and sheep, soy milk, pickles, millet porridge, steamed buns, steamed dumplings.

Zhu Zhanji led his sister and brother.

Guo Cailian and her grandma brought their youngest who had just turned one year old.

"What did you learn yesterday?"

Zhu Gaochi asked while eating.

When Zhu Zhanji heard his father's question, the ten-year-old boy stood up and stood aside respectfully: "Yesterday, Mr. Teng Wengong taught a lesson about serving the country."

"Oh."

Zhu Gaochi nodded.

Although I was not diligent in studying when I was in Peking, due to the strict teacher above me, my time was not wasted.

"What is it about?"

Zhu Gaochi did not ask Zhu Zhanji to recite it, but wanted to see if the eldest son understood it.

"Go back to my father."

"Teng Wengong asked for advice on how to govern the country."

"Mencius said: "The affairs of the common people cannot be delayed. "The Book of Songs" says: "Cut the thatch during the day and twist the rope at night; hurry to the house to repair and sow the grain on time." 'People have their own rules. ""

"Those who have a fixed industry have certain principles. People who do not have a fixed industry will not have certain principles."

"People who don't have certain principles will act recklessly, violate laws and disciplines, and do anything. Waiting until they commit a crime and then punishing them is tantamount to frame-up."

"How can a benevolent person in office do things that frame the common people?"

"So a wise monarch must be dedicated, thrifty, and courteous to his ministers. In particular, taking money from the people must follow a certain system. Yang Hu once said: 'If you want to get rich, you can't be benevolent, and if you want to be benevolent, you can't get rich.'"

Zhu Gaochi nodded, roughly the same.

In terms of governing the country and people's thoughts, the ancients have already taught all the principles.

As early as in the book about Mencius, it has been written that the property owners have perseverance and the have-nots have no perseverance. This sentence is in line with the theory of later generations that the economic base and superstructure include people's moral character.

For a person who cannot even provide for food and clothing, asking him to remain moral violates human nature.

The same is true.

Why did people become bandits in the ancient desert?They have changed one crop after another, but they have never been able to eliminate this phenomenon, because they don't have enough to eat. Since they don't have enough to eat, they will go to plunder places where there is food. It is also inevitable.

It is really difficult for people who would rather starve to death than violate their conscience to achieve such a high level of ideological and moral character.

The Xinxue that arose in Wenhua Hall was the product of pursuing the latter.

After the material development, it brought a high degree of spiritual civilization.

Therefore, the core of the problem proposed by the ancients is to make people rich. As long as people have a stable life, they will not violate principles. After all, people's minds are also human nature.

In order to live a stable life, they will obey the law.

Therefore, in the early Ming Dynasty, due to the God of War Emperor, the Ming Dynasty's military force declined, and it could not suppress the grassland and deserts, resulting in long-term wars. Instead, it was reconciled during the Wanli period.

An Dahan recognized the banner of the Ming Dynasty and was granted the title of King Zhongyi of the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty opened up mutual trade, and both sides met their own needs through trade, but things soon settled down.

Conquering the enemy without fighting ended a century of turmoil.

It is those who have perseverance who have perseverance.

Therefore, the sages taught the king that it is not enough to care for the people, but also to improve the living standards of the people. Otherwise, if the living standards of the people are not improved, they will become poor.

After becoming impoverished, the people broke laws and rules in order to survive, and the king used the law to punish them, which was tantamount to the murderer who framed the people.

Replace it with the theory of later generations.

Economic development is the only correct way out.

It was also the Yongle period in history. The origin of Zhu Di's political thought that the country was strong and the people were safe, and the family was sufficient.

same.

The refugees in the late Ming Dynasty embarked on a path of destruction. The fault was not with them, but with the court and the monarch.

Blame Confucius and Mencius.

Wouldn't that be objectionable to these claims?

We should correctly understand and make our own interpretations of the limitations of the times, and conform to the trend of the times. Modern Western thought has also been improved and developed step by step, and it has achieved unique achievements in the West.

Giving up everything about oneself is also a fundamental mistake. It is an act of insisting on imitating others regardless of the actual situation.

The rich second generation wants to start a business, and the poor second generation also wants to start a business.

The poor second generation can learn from the successful experience of the rich second generation, but they cannot copy it. What is more important is to combine it with reality and adapt to local conditions. Copying it is a wrong choice, as has been proven by later generations.

Countries that even copy punctuation marks, economic stagnation, and even coups are like stage shows, but countries that retain their own culture and absorb the strengths of others have developed.

then.

Zhu Gaochi asked again: "What do you think of the statement in this article that being rich is not benevolent, and being benevolent is not getting rich?"

Guo Cailian, who was standing beside her, was heartbroken and worried about her eldest son.

His eyes were full of expectation.The younger brothers and sisters also dared not express their anger.

Zhu Zhanji sweated nervously. His father's frequent school exams were what he was most afraid of. Although his father would never blame himself for saying something wrong, the disappointment in his mother's eyes made him uncomfortable.

"Er Er Chen"

Zhu Zhanji could not answer.

He couldn't understand what the master said, because his father also told him a lot of truths, as well as other masters.

Some people say east, some people say west.

Zhu Zhanji couldn't tell the difference.

Guo Cailian's eyes turned red anxiously.

Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: "It is easy to be unkind to be rich, but it is probably not easy for him to be rich to be benevolent. This is a possibility, not an inevitability. As for the possibility, we must treat people who are unkind to be rich. We must beware of those who are not rich because of their kindness, and do not want them to remain poor forever. This is what Mencius said in a concise yet concise way.”

He stretched out his hand and touched Zhu Zhanji's little head.

"Studying is tiring."

"But people can't do it without reading. If they don't read, they can't understand the principles of being a human being. If you don't even understand the principles of being a human being, you are not a complete human being. You are just a puppet controlled by human desires."

"Beasts are also driven by instinct, so the biggest difference between humans and beasts is that humans can think, learn knowledge, and learn to operate tools. Therefore, humans dominate all things. Whether you become a human or become a beast depends on what you have learned. Knowledge."

Zhu Gaochi turned back and looked at Guo Cailian.

He said critically: "Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses. You can't impose your own expectations on the boss. Reading should be done slowly and not in a hurry. Therefore, the ancients said that students should be taught in accordance with their aptitude."

Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude is the correct education method.

However, the cost of such a method is too high, and only a large amount of resources can do it. Even in future generations, only a very small number of families can do it.

But Zhu Zhanji is different.

His identity dictates that he must grow up, otherwise the harm will be huge.

Zhu Gaochi was most concerned about educating Zhu Zhanji, but he did not dare to pay too much attention. Guo Cailian did not understand these principles, so Zhu Gaochi wanted to tell her not to act too hastily.

"Is the inheritance tax proposed by my father just to avoid the phenomenon of being unkind for the sake of wealth?"

When Zhu Zhanji heard his father accusing his mother, Zhu Zhanji, who was eager to protect his mother, had an idea and blurted out excitedly.

Guo Cailian was frightened.

Zhu Zhanji reacted and felt excited in his heart.

Zhu Gaochi thought for a while and decided not to discuss this issue with his son. Although he hoped that his son would become a talented person, Zhu Zhanji's age, knowledge, and brain development were not suitable for such a profound theory.

Seeing his father skipping the topic, Zhu Zhanji felt disappointed.

Shortly after.

Zhu Gaochi set off to Wenhua Hall.

The time for the great court meeting has not yet come.

Several members of the cabinet arrived at the Wenhua Palace in advance to communicate with His Highness the Crown Prince about today's affairs.

One is the annual large-scale training project in Senan Province and outside the Great Wall.

In the past few years, due to the war in Samarkand, the most intense year even stopped for one year. The remaining years were also very small. Now the Ministry of War proposes that it should at least reach the level of Hongwu 36 years.

After deliberation among various ministries, the plan was generally agreed upon.

Zhu Gaochi did not object.

After everyone reached a unanimous conclusion after deliberation, the Ministry of War will formally propose it in the next court meeting, and Zhu Gaochi will also approve it in the court hall.

Then there is the plan to control the Yellow River.

Also because of the war in the west, everything in the country was simplified. The Yellow River channel was overhauled. Water conservancy officials went to work and asked to start the combing project. The funds and manpower required were also astronomical.

The officials of the Ministry of Industry unanimously agreed, and Zhu Gaochi saw that the cabinet had no objection, so he also approved it.

The national power of the Ming Dynasty was limited.

These two things alone can involve most of the energy, and with the maintenance of the west, there is not much power that can be freed up. Zhu Gaochi is a little worried about Goryeo and Japan.

Later, the Ministry of Rites proposed that history courses should be emphasized in the curriculum of each school.

Zhu Gaochi did not object and agreed directly.

History is the foundation of a nation’s centripetal force.

This includes the United States as well.

People who want to immigrate to the United States must understand the history of the United States, because it is one of the questions asked by the interviewer. Although there are no clear regulations, it is an invisible threshold.

Understand American history, and during the interview, the answers he gives are in line with the interviewer's thoughts, which means that he recognizes American history, and then he is an American in spirit, that is, yellow skin and white heart.

It is also an ancient way of teaching education.

The profound understanding of national history promotes racial consciousness, and even the United States, which has a short history, regards it as a top priority, which shows the importance of history.

And human behavior is determined by careful thinking.

If he recognizes Chinese history, he is a spiritual Chinese and what he pursues is China's interests. If he recognizes American history, he is a spiritual American and what he pursues is American interests.

It is not difficult to understand why many people in later generations who claim to understand the United States have their hearts set on the United States. As long as it is American, they will worship it. If the same thing happens in China, it will become a bad trait in their mouths.

So history belongs to the core of the nation.

The highly developed culture and detailed historical records of the Chinese ancestors are the best in the world and unmatched by anyone.

Not just what happened every year in ancient times.

There are massive records including the year of the person, what happened in each place, what everyone said and did, etc. Tang poetry and Song poetry were recorded not only by celebrities, but also by a large number of ordinary people.

No country in ancient times could do this.

This creates the resilience of this nation.

Although he suffered repeated devastating blows, he could still recover.

However, inheritance is limited after all. It can only consume the inheritance of the ancestors, but if it does not leave "wealth" for future generations, then the inheritance will eventually be exhausted. When people forget the precipitation of history, this nation will have no future.

This is the second time to strengthen history education.

It was first proposed by Zhu Gaochi in Peiping, and now it is proposed by officials, which illustrates the development of the times.

The meeting is over.

Before the meeting, Zhu Gaochi took the time to meet with Gao Zhen.

"Thanks a lot."

Zhu Gaochi laughed.

The clerk's office had explained today's arrangements yesterday and explained Gao Zhen's situation.

"The responsibility lies."

Gao Zhen replied movedly.

"The military-household economic cooperative has been cancelled. Based on the foundation of the military-household economic cooperative, the economic cooperative established in the Samarkand region has made a good start and laid the foundation for immigration work."

Gao Zhen reported all the matters.

A thousand acres of land cannot be used by one family.

And the Samarkand region doesn’t look like an unofficial decision.

How to create a stable life for immigrants, restore productivity as soon as possible, and improve the local economic level requires the use of some means.

Economic cooperatives.

Recruit local poor people, provide them with a job, join in agriculture and animal husbandry, and help immigrants build manors. Everyone needs to ask for it, and there are many benefits.

Of course.

Although the area west of Samarkand was under the Ming Dynasty, the area was not stable and was not conducive to production.

Therefore, the manor mainly relies on the east of Samarkand.

As for the west side.

It still needs time to settle. When the large land in the west becomes peaceful, it will be a good time to relocate the population and enrich the local area.

It's not that Ming Dynasty didn't want to govern those places.

Just like the migration of people in the Ming Dynasty in history, they also moved to stable areas rather than unstable areas, otherwise the harm to the people would be too great. The immigrants in the early Ming Dynasty were completely different from the Western immigrants in the New World.

Even the criminals who were exiled in the early Ming Dynasty were exiled to the military household area in Liaodong, rather than being thrown into unfamiliar and unstable areas and left to fend for themselves.

The earliest written records.

In the early days of the West, there were not even a single criminal who immigrated to the New World.

It is very rare for two or three of the one hundred settlements to be preserved.

The history of the West's early exploration of the New World was not only a disaster for the local indigenous people, but also a history of blood and tears for the people of the West. It had the same historical background as the industrialization that began in Britain, and the workers lived miserable lives.

But where there is oppression there is resistance.

Due to the changes of the times, the circulation of Western people has become more active, and they are no longer as withdrawn as they were in the traditional period. Therefore, the resistance movements of Western people in modern times have been successful time and time again, winning new civilizational development for themselves.

But it cannot be simply divided into good and evil.

We cannot say that the Western people are a kind party just because they resist the powerful.

After winning the victory, they built schools in various places and buried indigenous children alive. This shows that the underlying cultural factors are completely opposite to the benevolent factors in the East.

And the conflict between Pakistan and Israel.

The West’s siding and unreasonable rhetoric prove that even though some people call it the 21st century and a highly civilized world, in fact, the nature of the world has not changed.

And the East has Confucianism.

Pursue benevolence from top to bottom.

This benevolence restricts the monarch. Even Zhu Gaochi must show his benevolence and let people know that he loves the people like his son, although Zhu Gaochi has always done so.

So why was Emperor Jiajing, who was good at strategizing in history, so angry, and was thwarted by Hai Rui's memorial.

After Zhu Gaochi listened to Gao Zhen's report, although there were some flaws, there was no need to pursue perfection too much.

It is easy to pass something, but it is too difficult to achieve [-]%. If Zhu Gaochi does not pursue [-]%, he cannot achieve [-]%.

"Immigrating to the frontier and to a newly developed land is undoubtedly a very difficult task, and it is a long-term project, which will benefit the great achievements of the future." Zhu Gaochi continued: "But, how to maximize the protection of the present The living conditions of immigrants are the biggest problem we face."

"The Ming Dynasty Industrial Bureau must not only become one of the foundations for ensuring the distribution of social resources, but also assist the court and make great contributions to the development of the Ming Dynasty. This is your contemporary responsibility."

"In the past six months, you have performed well in Zhejiang."

Hearing His Highness the Crown Prince's approval, Gao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
