Ming Dynasty: Cured The Emperor's Grandson At The Beginning, And Relied On Science And Engineer

"I will never dare!"

Several old masters who were knocking on the que were immediately frightened and fell to their knees.

"You old Confucian masters, can't you just stop eating because of choking?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed his anger and looked at these old masters who came to knock on the door.

"Start your Majesty!"

Master Cao raised the memorial and shouted: "All the ministers have seen the method taught by Su Ran.

They are all quick and easy tricks.

Over time, people will inevitably be eager for quick success,

Ignorant of kindness and morality, corrupting people's morals!"

"Okay, okay, well said!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said three words in a row.

But everyone in the court heard a hint of anger and laughter in his tone.

Snapped!

A letter fell in front of the main hall.

"Read it to them." Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

Zhu Biao obviously couldn't bear it, so he stood up and said: "Father, I think..."

"Read it!" Zhu Yuanzhang shouted loudly!

The eunuch picked up the fold in his hand and immediately recited:

"Zhang Yuanxing, his family has thousands of hectares of fertile land, hundreds of servants, and more than ten wives and concubines."

"Liu Sanwu, a native of Jinhua, owns dozens of shops on the most prosperous street in Jinhua, known as Liu Ban Street."

"Cao Longda, whose family has a fortune of tens of millions, secretly participated in the maritime trade business and made huge profits...

The old scholars whose names were mentioned suddenly broke out in sweat.

He lay limply on the ground, not daring to make a sound.

There was a sudden silence in the entire hall.

"You are all living in the south of the Yangtze River, sitting on good land and beautiful houses, with lovely wives and beautiful concubines."

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said: "Some are corrupt, accept bribes, form cliques for personal gain, and smuggle in sea trade!

But have you ever thought about it,

Now in our Ming Dynasty, there are still tens of millions of people who have no clothes on their bodies and no food to eat?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's roaring voice echoed in the hall.

“You don’t think about how to improve people’s livelihood, but you only think about suppressing new learning and excluding dissidents!

Smashing the jobs that the poor had finally put up?

Ask yourselves, is this what your sages teach you?"

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's thunderous roar.

The old Confucians who were present at the knocking ceremony were all sweating profusely.

Especially the few great scholars whose names were called out suddenly became embarrassed.

An old man in his seventies fell to the ground with a thud, clutching his chest.

Shameful, so shameful!

"Everyone, step back and reflect on yourself."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand coldly: "In addition, Mr. Cao, you stay.

Please explain carefully your family’s involvement in sea trade!”

Master Cao's face turned pale as his name was called.

He knew that this was Lao Zhu who wanted him to have an operation.

Take them with them to search for those coastal gentry families involved in sea trade!

It seems that the wealthy families in the Jiangnan area are about to be fleeced again.

At this moment, the nobles also presented their memorials at the same time.

He also suggested tactfully that Zhu Yuanzhang should give Su Ran a title.

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered at Xungui's tactics.

It is obvious that the nobles just want to play the trick of being justified.

As long as Su Ran is given a title, even a viscount or earl.

This can also establish his position from now on.

From then on, he became a member of their noble faction!

But what about the arrangements for the poor students in the academy?

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang still ignored Xungui's strong request.

After Zhu Biao returned to the Prince's Mansion, his father-in-law Lu Ben brought several old Confucians to see him.

Zhu Biao did not like to see these old Confucians either.

I have seen too many sanctimonious scholars and officials in recent years.

Zhu Biao has long been disgusted with these guys who work hard and work against the will.

"Since you can't persuade my father, don't try to persuade me anymore."

Before they could speak, Zhu Biao said coldly: "You disciples of the Jiangnan Neo-Confucian sect,

All the current practices make me very disappointed!”

"Your Highness, I know this."

Master Cao said in a deep voice: "The scum that appear among civil servants are

It disappoints His Highness, but the knowledge taught by Su Ran is very dangerous.

Once it spreads to foreign countries, wouldn’t it endanger our Ming Dynasty?”

I heard that Master Cao started to stir up trouble.

Zhu Biao couldn't help but sneer.

Su Ran said this to herself a long time ago.

Because of this worry, the development of Ming Dynasty has been stagnant?

Just like a fool who picked up sesame seeds and threw away watermelon.

How stupid!

"Master Cao, you can't make sense, so you start to sow discord. Is Saint worried?"

Zhu Biao looked at Master Cao with a sweaty forehead with a sneer: "As long as the Ming Dynasty continues to be strong, no one will dare to stroke the tiger's beard.

Besides, I, Ming, can be at the forefront.

Even if they learn it, what will happen? They will still crawl at the feet of the Ming Dynasty!"

He looked down at Master Cao slightly and said coldly: "For such a little worry,

Just let the world stagnate and develop?

Not enough to eat, not enough clothes to cover your body?”

This sentence is even more heart-wrenching.

Several old Confucians present fell to their knees, including Lu Ben.

"Father-in-law." Zhu Biao looked at the pale Lu Ben coldly.

The overwhelming momentum made Lu Ben almost collapse to the ground.

"Next time, don't bring these irrelevant people to the East Palace.

And, you don’t have to come back again in the future. "

Lu Ben's face suddenly turned pale.

Get rid of these annoying old Confucian queens.

The East Palace Hall has returned to silence.

Zhu Biao lowered his head slightly and sighed.

In fact, Zhu Biao had already understood it under the guidance of Lao Zhu and Su Ran.

There is actually no shortage of smart people in this world.

For example, when Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, started his career.

The gang of butchers, thugs, gangsters, and scoundrel brothers under his command.

Or when Zhu Yuanzhang started his career, there were twenty-four heroes in Huaixi.

They all started from scratch.

But Zhu Biao also understands a truth, if the innateness is not enough.

No amount of cleverness can make up for it.

For example, the Zhu family is now in charge of the Ninth Five-Year Plan, which is their unprecedented advantage. 【013404319 Feilu 123261001】

Want to maintain this innate advantage.

You can't turn all your subordinates into idiots and make the country weak.

History has long proven that it is very deceptive to maintain rule by deceiving the people.

The final result is to lower the overall quality of the people.

This is the case with Confucianism today.

The more so-called Confucian master, the more stupid he is.

He even made a vicious plot to kill people.

If these people are in charge of the country in the future.

The consequences are no less than those of the famous traitors in history.

For example, Huang Zicheng and Fang Xiaoru.

Because of their stupidity, the Battle of Jingnan was triggered.

Compared with Zhu Biao's calmness, Zhu Di was a little worried.

He felt that his identity could no longer be concealed.

After all, many of the noble disciples stationed in the academy have met him.

Among them were his three brothers-in-law.

To be honest, he really enjoyed getting along with Su Ran.

That feeling of no identity barriers.

In comparison, Zhu Biao is an elder brother as heavy as a mountain.

The most terrifying thing is that Queen Ma prefers Su Ran, her nephew.

When Zhu Di rushed to Nanhu Village in disgrace.

After seeing Su Ran who was also working hard, the two started a guessing game.

In the end, Su Ran lost completely.

So, Tianxiangju invites him tonight.

Zhu Yuanzhang and his father still have ears separated by walls.

Since the cabinet system was reorganized, the number of terms of office for the chief minister has been added.

The two men are obviously freed from the tedious government affairs, so they are full of energy for gossip.

I heard two people chatting in the next room, after drinking a glass of wine.

Then I heard Su Ran speak: "Lao Hong, what have you been doing recently? Are you so busy doing this?"

"What else can be done?"

Zhu Di said resentfully: "It's not you who made the blunderbuss and grenades.

Now Master Hongwu has left this piece to me and is training to death. "

"Is there going to be a Northern Expedition next year?"

Su Ran asked in surprise.

"No, we won't be able to fight next year." Zhu Di shook his head and said, "The Tatars are different from us.

They will not take the initiative to attack unless they have enough fat to gather hundreds of thousands of people.

Today the border wool trade sucks their blood all the time.

The Tatars could not gather their strength, and the war dragged on.

If we chase him now, they will just run away. "

"The fourth child is still so belligerent."

Zhu Biao couldn't help but smile and said: "But Lao Si's art of war,

Even the uncles of the Xu family admired him very much, and he might be able to replace Uncle Xu. "

"No." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said solemnly: "If we don't fight this battle, let's forget it.

If we want to fight, we must completely eradicate the Beiyuan scourge!

If we want to go on another expedition, the one we would most like to belong to is your Uncle Tiande.

The fourth child is still too young. "

"If the war drags on, there may not be any harm."

Su Ran shook his head and said: "If the war can be delayed for another year,

I will strive to lay the track to Guanzhong and Datong!

In this way, not only is it convenient to transport food, but the army can also arrive at dawn and dusk and be ready at any time!"

Just one sentence immediately piqued the interest of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.

Now everyone in the court knows about it.

The biggest problem that troubles Su Ran is not the craftsmen or the materials for laying the tracks.

But money!

Although Su Ran is now known as the first god of wealth in the Ming Dynasty.

Lao Zhu also released the wasteland authority to the academy, but these will take time.

How does Su Ran get money?

The two of them were wondering about this stall.

Zhu Di has expressed the doubts in the minds of the two men: "Then how are you going to make money?

Are you planning to touch the bank?"

"The bank has just opened now!"

Su Ran sneered and said: "Forget it about small-denomination loans.

Building rails is simply a drop in the bucket and will not work.

But now I have gathered all the small and medium-sized businesses around this railway.

Sell ​​them the right to use the train in installments,

It’s clear how much it costs to use it once and how many carriages it costs!”

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao suddenly understood.

It turns out that Su Ran actually has this method!

Now there is no money in the treasury, and Su Ran has no money in his hands,

But those merchants have a lot of money!

Using the right to use the train to get the money out of the hands of these merchants is considered a skill.

After experiencing what happened before Su Ran.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao have greatly changed their views on merchants.

"Now that you are blatantly using merchants, you are not afraid of them impeaching you."

Zhu Di said with a half-smile: "I heard about it in the military camp.

Those Confucian scholars hate you so much that they are about to impeach you into a sieve.

"cut!"

Su Ran sneered: "They are just a bunch of talkers, what's the use of them?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but snorted.

"If we hadn't supported him."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted and said: "There are still so many honorable nobles who support me.

He really thought that gang

Are civil servants vegetarians?"

Zhu Biao couldn't help but smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Rather, Su Ran was impeached and turned into a sieve.

It would be better to say that both of them have been annoyed to death by these Confucian scholars in the past few days.

But I heard Su Ran continue to say: "Besides, I gathered these businessmen,

The purpose is not just to lay tracks for road construction, but also has great uses!"

Is there any use?

Upon hearing this word, Mr. Zhu's eyes lit up.

Su Ran's reputation is still very strong in front of the two men.

As long as he says these words, there will be shocking words.

But Zhu Di asked: "Brother Huai'an, what is the reason?"

"Old Hong, do you know why the Great Shang Jia in the southeast region dares to go against the imperial court?"

"It's because they have money, they bribe the government, and there is collusion between officials and businessmen."

Zhu Di said without hesitation.

"That's right, but it misses the point." Su Ran said.

"The reason why they dare to do this is because they have enough capital on hand!"

Su Ran said: "Money is only a part of capital.

Generally speaking, capital is the general term for society’s resources.

If it were just pure money,

Do you think these merchants can make Lord Hongwu afraid?"

Zhu Di stopped talking immediately, obviously shocked.

Zhu Yuanzhang's old face next door was extremely gloomy.

Zhu Biao's face didn't look very good either.

"Su Ran's words don't sound nice, but they are very true."

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his hand to stop Zhu Biao from explaining, and said in a deep voice: "When we killed Shen Wansan,

Do you think we are really worried about the wealth in his hands?

It's because this guy has something to do with Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang!

These wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River all regard themselves as Lu Buwei and are betting on us!"

When he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang was already gritting his teeth.

Obviously, he was extremely afraid of these Jiangnan wealthy families.

But there has never been a good way to scare them.

After all, these wealthy families can't help but control officials and the common people at the bottom!

The original purpose of killing Shen Wansan was not for money.

But to frighten these Jiangnan wealthy families.

"To be honest, officialdom and shopping malls are two completely different fields."

Su Ran explained: "The wealthy families in Jiangnan have become the climate.

His Majesty Hongwu used official methods to deal with them, but he always fell behind and was unable to do anything.

But what if the government controls a huge capital force?”

The eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao in the next room suddenly lit up!

Wonderful! What a stroke of genius!

If there is a capital controlled by the government, it can compete with the wealthy families in Jiangnan.

Adding the assistance from the government, wouldn't it be a drain on the wealth of Jiangnan's wealthy families?

Do these Jiangnan wealthy families still dare to fight against them?

At this moment, he also understood why Su Ran suddenly gathered so many small and medium-sized businessmen.

Those great merchants and wealthy families dare to confront the government head-on.

But these small and medium-sized businessmen are the easiest to control.

At that time, he will use his capital to expand and then expand to the south.

Then recruit all those small and medium-sized merchants!

The wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River are bound to be left alone!

When he thought of this, Lao Zhu almost couldn't help but look up to the sky and laugh.

There is no commercial tax in this world that he cannot collect anymore!

What confidence do those officials who are supported by businessmen have?
