I'm a big dick

Chapter 664 Min Guijun is light
The island country is barren and is conquered across the sea. Even if there are silver mountains, the cost of occupation and operation is very high.

At least until the Ming Empire survived the catastrophe, the emperor had no plans to conquer the Wa Kingdom.

Moreover, how to leverage strength, how to seize the opportunity, and achieve the greatest benefit with the least cost are still the emperor's first choice.

Was there any turmoil during the Tokugawa shogunate?

The emperor thought for a long time, and remembered that there seemed to be some guy from Amakusa Shiro, and the shogunate locked up the country.

Well, to start a war, excuses are not a problem.If you block the country and affect trade, I will black the ship and sign a treaty!
The emperor gently stroked the cat's head, and cast his eyes on Wang Tigan's face with a questioning expression.

Wang Tiqian hurriedly bowed and said: "Your Majesty, Meng Honglue is waiting outside the palace to see you."

The emperor nodded, turned around and walked towards the main hall, saying, "Xuan."

Meng Honglue is the 67th generation grandson of Mencius. His father, Meng Chengguang, died when he led the Xiangyong to resist Xu Hongru's rebellion.

The imperial court originally had a pension, but he did not expect that after a few years, the emperor would call him to Beijing because of this.

Of course he didn't know what kind of big plan the emperor had in mind, if he knew, he would probably be too scared to come.

And the emperor has already prepared rewards. In addition to adding the title of Prince Shaobao, he will also give the Meng family a cross for ten generations.

You must know that the typesetting of the genealogies of Confucius and Mencius was given by the emperor.No matter how bad it is, it must be reported to the emperor for approval, so that the character can be established.

Of course, the emperor also wanted to discuss with this descendant of Mencius the true meaning of "killing one's life for benevolence, giving up one's life for righteousness".

Although Mencius is a sub-sage and a Confucianist, the emperor still respected him more and surpassed Kong Sheng.

Can say that "water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it", can put forward the idea that the people are more important than the emperor, and say that "if the monarch has a big mistake, the ministers will remonstrate him, and if he refuses to listen to the admonition, he can change his position", no wonder the status Has never been as good as Kong Sheng.

Zhu Baba, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, compiled "Mencius Jiewen", and deleted the chapters and sentences in "Mencius", such as "the people are the most important, the society is second, and the king is the least", "a man who is a thieves is called a husband. A husband is a tyrant, and he has never heard of killing a king." etc.

Not only was it deleted, Taizu also ordered the world to say that many of Mencius's remarks were "unsuitable for courtiers", and ordered Mencius to be expelled from the Confucian Temple.

Later, the ministers went up to dissuade him, and Taizu restored the treatment of Mencius in the Confucian temple.But he also said to his courtiers, "so that this old man would rather be spared today!"

It can only be said that Meng Sheng died early, otherwise, he would definitely be killed by Taizu.

The emperor not only wanted to elevate the Meng family, but also published and distributed the uncensored version of Meng Sheng's theory.He wants to build a people-oriented country and society, and the theory that the people are more important than the king is on the right track.

If the future generations do not live up to expectations, the emperor would rather overthrow the dynasty is the people, rather than being exterminated by a foreign race.

...................
The royal family is rich, and this conclusion is increasingly recognized by people.

The reason is very simple. Gold flowers and silver have not been harvested for several years, Shaoying Academy has expanded, and the construction of the library has royal investment.

Of course, no matter what the emperor wants to do, there will always be people who respond enthusiastically and contribute money and effort.

In the past few years, the most prominent ones are the major chambers of commerce.Of course, they also benefited from the policies of the court, or the care of the emperor, and made a lot of money.

Similarly, the great development of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry also increased the financial revenue of commercial taxation, which enabled the emperor's financial transformation to proceed smoothly and achieved great results.

This mutually reinforcing development model is extremely rare in all dynasties.Either emphasizing agriculture over business, or forcing donations, the richer they are, the more likely they are to be targeted by the court.

　A little bit of Calvin, holding back for a long time, take a rest early, and organize your thoughts.
