Chongzhen Undergraduates

But this gap period will not exceed one year at most. After one year, Daming must already have a certain strength in the Northern Expedition.But Zhu Youjian has no idea what will happen to Jin after that time, but Wu Sangui is an imminent disaster.

Now that the external threat can be put aside for the time being, will the internal Donglin forces suppress it?

surely not.

In the final analysis, the Donglin Force is not led by Liu Zongzhou, or it is not a question of who is leading it at all. He was trained by traditional Chinese Confucianism, armed with Confucianism, and developed a kind of domineering and self-respecting political power.

Don't think that Donglin will disappear after killing a few people or declaring a few so-called future generations policies.No, it is the ideological changes of later generations that can make Donglin's thinking of fighting against dissidents disappear, or it is the gunfire and humiliation in 1840, which is the pursuit of Western thought and the rejection of Confucianism.

Zhu Youjian doesn't like Confucian dominance, but he doesn't want to abandon Confucianism either.No idea is all right or all wrong, and any idea must keep pace with the times, but it is not the infinite praise and shameless interpretation of the metaphysics of the so-called sage by those great Confucians.

This is like later generations looking for self-esteem from history, purely putting gold on their faces, as if the ancestors boasted all the bulls of the universe to the sky.

To solve the current Donglin problem, it is necessary to differentiate the soil in which they grow.There are two soils for the growth of Donglin: one is education; the other is the traditional business class.

The ideological and financial support finally gave birth to a hard shell that the Chinese people could not shake at all. Our own people solidified it and slowly consumed it to death. Finally, outsiders smashed it from the outside.

"Your Majesty, the salt industry is state-run. What about these merchants? They have lost their livelihood." Huang Zongyi has recently learned some of Zhu Youjian's new thoughts on governing the country, which are completely different from traditional Confucian thoughts on governing the country.

"Dayu's control of the water is not blocking. Merchants are born to do business, how can they stipulate that they are not allowed to do business?" Zhu Youjian replied without thinking.

Huang Zongyi was both shocked and normal. What shocked him was that the emperor actually spoke for the merchants, which was not at all like the Confucianism advocated emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business. Zhu Youjian.

If another emperor were to change, he would definitely say: "Exile all those untouchable merchants."

Chapter 423: Business Road

The gentry shouted that business was a cheap business, and they wanted to farm and study for generations, and at the same time, they hooked up with big businessmen from all over the world to seek benefits, and desperately maintained their own business in the government.

This is not the most important thing. What is more serious is that they are desperately trying to solidify these traditional businesses, hindering the innovation and development of new businesses.

To sum it up in one sentence: Vested interests just want to let everything continue and never change.Lao Tzu is a hero and a hero. Those who are officials will be officials for generations, and those who are dicks will always be dicks.

In the Hall of Martial Arts in Nanjing, Zhu Youjian sat in court.

Early in the morning, Zhu Youjian had just entered the hall, and before he had finished the three long live shouts, he said loudly:

"Fang Aiqing, you asked the Ministry of Households to issue an official document stating that the imperial court will repair the office environment of each yamen in the near future, and face large-scale procurement across the country. Whoever has good things can bring them to Nanjing, and the imperial court will purchase them after approval."

To promote business, of course, cannot do without the relationship between buyers and sellers.Zhu Youjian did not intend to count on the slow development of the people, he decided to use official power to promote it.

"I'm afraid this is inappropriate. What if an old cousin from Jiangxi brings a basket, and the court also buys it?" Huang Daozhou said with a smile.

"There is nothing wrong with it. The bamboo in Jiangxi is really good. The bamboo there can be used as a bucket, and the bamboo products are really good." Jiang Riguang is from Jiangxi, and he took the initiative to speak for Jiangxi.

The younger generation has been placed outside as chief officials, at least not in the short term. Now Zhu Youjian's cabinet is still dominated by old officials, but these people can no longer influence the emperor's decision-making.

The current six ministers are: Li Yan of the Ministry of War, Fang Yuegong of the Ministry of Households, Huang Daozhou of the Ministry of Rites, Lu Daqi of the Ministry of Officials, Gao Hongtu of the Ministry of Industry, and Jiang Yueguang of the Ministry of Punishment.

Among them, because of the need for the Great Leap Forward, Fang Yuegong served as the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Li Yan, Huang Daozhou, Gao Hongtu, Huang Zongyi, and Gu Yanwu all entered the cabinet.

Now the six ministries and the cabinet in Nanjing are considered normal, and the government is also managed by the emperor himself.Especially the cabinet, it is obvious that the emperor is training newcomers.

"Come anyway, and after you go down, you will mobilize officials from all provinces to write letters to inform you that as long as they are good things, they can be brought to Nanjing." Zhu Youjian said with a big laugh.

"Then can we use the medicinal materials from Yunnan..." Mu Tianbo stood up and asked.

"The Ministry of Healing Herbs in Yunnan has been purchased for a long time. Such good things can naturally come, but I am worried about the production. I am afraid that those medicine farmers will be dug out in a month, and the army will be useless by then."

"Hahaha..." Everyone laughed.

"I don't know what the emperor wants so many things for? The imperial court doesn't need medicinal materials!" Fang Yuegong was puzzled.

"Fang Aiqing, you are my God of Wealth, don't you want to fill the treasury of the household department?" Zhu Youjian smiled.

"I dream about it, but the tax is fixed, and the geography can't grow the money." Fang Yuegong blushed. Although his shopkeeper's household department is pretty good, he is not Bi Ziyan after all.

If you want to talk about who is the best in the Chongzhen Dynasty, of course it is not Zhou Yanru, who is warm and benevolent.Hong Chengchou is the most capable, and Lu Xiangsheng is the best at fighting, but they are all inferior to Bi Ziyan's ability to manage money.

Zhu Youjian really hoped that Bi Ziyan could live to the present, but it is a pity that Bi Ziyan died after 11 years in Chongzhen.

"It's too slow to grow money in the field, but the good things sent by the provinces can make money!"

As soon as Zhu Youjian finished speaking, there was a lot of discussion in the court, and everyone was guessing what the emperor was going to do.

"Qi Zou emperor, products in various places are limited, if the emperor needs, he can order all places to offer offerings..." Before Gao Hongtu could finish speaking, Zhu Youjian stopped him.

"Am I a person who covets the people's property? I said last year that if the Ministry of Internal Affairs needs it, it will be purchased by the internal officials with money, and no special supplies will be made. Moreover, the royal eunuchs stationed in various places have been abolished. It will not be enshrined separately. Let’s wait until the items from the provinces arrive in Nanjing, and we will know when the time comes.”

Zhu Youjian can only say that poverty limits the imagination of these people, and the good things of Ming Dynasty must not be allowed to circulate if they are rotten in the local area.

"Next, let's discuss the second matter. What do you think of the new official road from the Taiping Mansion I built last year to Nanjing?"

When Zhu Youjian mentioned it, there was another buzz in the hall, and everyone present did not know that the new official was good.Not afraid of rain and sun, flat and spacious.Several carriages can run side by side on it, and there is not even a stone that can be used as a wheel along the way.

"The emperor wants to build roads? I don't have any money." Fang Yuegong stared, which means you sold me.

"Fang Aiqing misunderstood, what I mean is to ask the court to borrow money from the common people."

"What?" Everyone was stunned, the court borrowed money from the people?

"Yes, and the interest will be paid back." Zhu Youjian is not shameless enough to make money by charging road construction fees, so he can only borrow money to build roads.Of course, this so-called loan is nothing more than a transfer from the bank.The so-called interest is nothing more than relaxing m2.

"Who will lend money to the court?"

"Anyone who wants to lend to the court can borrow it. Anyway, the court pays interest on a monthly basis. Of course, if you want to borrow for a long time, the interest will be higher."

Zhu Youjian knows that the current central bank is purely a money-gathering machine for the imperial court, and there is no financial means to divest it, and it is not a normalized financial institution.

The interest he gave was definitely lower than the interest on deposits of later generations, which made it clear that he continued to aim at the silver in the cellar of the big family in the south of the Yangtze River.If those local rich people really want to continue to bury the silver in the ground to mold, then go ahead.

If you are willing to take it out, I, Zhu Youjian, will pay interest and let money make money.You must know that Chinese people like to save money the most. If money can give birth to cubs, those local rich people will be really crazy.

"The emperor borrowed so much money just to build roads?" Fang Yuegong felt that this matter was not that simple. Looking at the emperor's appearance, there may be other ways.

"This...let's build the road for now!" Zhu Youjian prevaricated.

Although the road from Taiping Mansion to Nanjing is not long, the cost is indeed not small. This road has cultivated a team of reinforced concrete buildings.Moreover, this construction team is about to be discharged from the army, and they will become the first construction and the second construction of Jiangsu Province.

If you want to get rich, you must first build roads, and the circulation of goods must be transported efficiently. There is no business without good roads.But building roads requires money, and Zhu Youjian is not Qin Shihuang, so there is no way to recruit people from all over the country to build Chi Roads.

Borrow money to build roads, and then allow business to develop and commodities to circulate, so that business taxes can be collected.At the same time, central banks have the opportunity to lend money to smart people and make them rich.

Money should go to those who need it, not buried in the ground.The responsibility of the imperial court is to help the people become rich and encourage the people to create more wealth.

Therefore, in addition to road construction, this money is more for lending.Private fund-raising p2p is called illegal fund-raising, which is risky.Fundraising by the state is the banking function.Hey, Zhu Youjian certainly needs a lot of money to mobilize non-governmental productivity and stimulate the enthusiasm of the people.

Road construction is just an excuse. The current daimyo is not ready for large-scale infrastructure construction. When the productivity increases to a certain scale, even if Zhu Youjian does not repair roads, those private owners will spontaneously build roads.
