My Daming New Empire

Zhu Zhanji has been watching the performances of these clans with cold eyes. If possible, he just wants to get rid of these burdens.

But if he does this, the whole world will oppose him.Therefore, he can only coerce and lure them, and lure them out little by little, so that they can rely on themselves.

This may be one of the most troublesome problems for him after he ascends the throne in the future.

At the end of the song, Zhu Jixuan, who was crying endlessly, was already gagged by the crowd who had heard enough of his crying and cursing.Before he was escorted to Fengyang Zhongdu, he would never see any outsiders again.

Therefore, even if he scolded Potian, no one would hear him.

Although Zhu Zhanji is a great grandson, today he only talks about clan seniority, so his ranking is very low today, and he only has to stand outside the door.

The crowd came out surrounded by Zhu Di who was not in a good mood. While walking, Zhu Di talked to Zhu Mengtan, the third son of King Chu, about the water battle in Dongting Lake many years ago.

Among the Zhu family, Zhu Di was not considered a loner. In addition to Zhou King Zhu Wei, Chu King Zhu Zhen, Shu King Zhu Chun, Dai Wang Zhu Gui, and Ning King Zhu Quan all had good relations with him.

Zhu Mengtan is considered to be the best of the third generation of the Zhu family, with outstanding abilities, and now he has basically mastered the power of Chu Palace.

He was only the third son at first, but his two elder brothers died young, so now he is the head of the third generation of the Chu Palace, and this time he is the representative of the Chu Palace to go to sea with Zhu Zhanji.

Zhu Di had a good relationship with Zhu Zhen, so he got closer to this nephew and gave him the opportunity to speak personally.

They went out, but Zhu Zhanji still stood silently near the door, waiting for the elders to finish their walk before they, the fourth generation, could leave.

At this time, a middle-aged man who was a head shorter than him stood in front of him, looked at him and sighed. "Zhanji, Uncle Stew wants to ask you something, but it's hard to ask."

Zhu Zhanji recognized him as Zhou Wangshizi Zhu Youdun. One of the father and son studied medicine and the other studied opera, and they were not just kidding, but they really made achievements. This is quite remarkable.

Zhu Youdun is now well-known throughout the Ming Dynasty, let alone the "Rescue the Famine Materia Medica" compiled by the king of Zhou, Zhu Wei. This is a life-saving book in Chinese history, and it is also one of the most printed books in ancient China.

《救荒本草》是一部专讲地方性植物并结合食用方面以救荒为主的植物志。记载植物400多种，每种都配有精美的木刻插图。其中出自历代本草的有138种，新增276种。从分类上分为：草类245种、木类80种、米谷类20种、果类23种、菜类46种，按部编目。

Since the book was published in Kaifeng in the fourth year of Yongle, it has quickly become a treasure book for the popularization and planting of agriculture in the whole country.

The attitude of Zhou Wang in compiling "Rescue Famine Materia Medica" is serious.He planted the collected wild plants in the garden first, carefully observed and experimented, and obtained reliable information.Therefore, this book has relatively high academic value.

For some poisonous but filling plants, he even gave antidote methods, all for one purpose, that is to make people full.

Because of the contributions of their father and son, Zhu Zhanji still appreciates them in his heart.Hearing what Zhu Youdun said at this time, he immediately replied with a serious face: "Sixth Uncle, please tell me, my nephew is duty bound."

Zhu Youdun ranked sixth among the third generation of sons-in-law, only slightly younger than the former Emperor Jianwen and Zhu Gaochi.But this person belongs to the kind of person like Cao Xueqin who is more sensitive and sentimental, so he is not very respected in the third generation.

Hearing that Zhu Zhanji called him sixth uncle, Zhu Youdun smiled, looking very relieved. "It's too frivolous to bring up this matter in front of our ancestors. We'll talk about it after you come out."

It should be difficult to say this in front of everyone, Zhu Zhanji nodded.He smiled back and went out the door first.

After the third generation walked out of the Taimiao, Zhu Zhanji turned around and took the fourth generation out.

Standing next to a cypress tree, Zhu Youdou saw Zhu Zhanji coming out and nodded to him.When other people saw them, they didn't want others to hear them. They originally wanted to have a relationship with Zhu Zhan Ji Lala, so they had to leave first at this time.

Zhu Zhanji came to him, bowed first and said, "Sixth Uncle, please tell me. If my nephew can do it, I will definitely help."

Zhu Youdun smiled embarrassedly, and then said: "There is a luthier in Runxiang Building named Shaohong, who was originally the daughter of Shao Jiang, the magistrate of Wuyang County, and became a luthier in Runxiang Building because of her father's crime. This Shaojiang and I..."

Zhu Zhanji asked: "Does the sixth uncle want to get rid of Shaohong?"

Zhu Youdou nodded, but shook his head again. "For the matter of leaving my nationality, I can fool me in the Ministry of Rites by showing off my old face. But it is said that Yang Zhangde, the commander of Jinyiwei, also took a fancy to this woman, and you know...I...I..."

Zhu Zhanji frowned and said, "Clarify the matter, so Yang Zhangde has any coercion?"

"That's not true, but Runxianglou would rather offend me, a powerless son, than Jin Yiwei."

Zhu Zhanji frowned, nodded and said: "My nephew promised this matter. I just got close to Uncle Six today, but I also want to ask Uncle Six for help."

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

If there are any things that Zhu Zhanji can't do in this era, there are actually many.

Whether it is to change people's thinking, to accumulate the foundation of industrial development, or to change the social atmosphere, these problems cannot be solved by one person, or even a generation.

But he knows how to start with many things and slowly lay the foundation.

But only public opinion propaganda, he security does not know how to start, where to start.

The status of propaganda in later generations has been raised to a very high position. In this era, public opinion propaganda is equally important.

Don't say that the feudal society has developed to the budding bourgeoisie Ming Dynasty, even in the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, public opinion propaganda is equally important.

Not to mention the imperial court, even the rebels, if they want to rebel, they have to shout a few slogans to explain their rebellious ideas.

But I have to say that although public opinion propaganda in this era is highly valued, the effect is pitifully poor.

Basically, the rule of the imperial court can only go to the county level, and if it goes down, it can only rely on the elders and the clan.

Every scholar in this era is the mouthpiece of this region, so Confucianism has the power of public opinion.

Of course, not every scholar is a Confucianist, especially in the era of the early Ming Dynasty, when the troubled times had just passed, and scholars were still dealing with the hazy era of idealism.

Most of the civil servants in the court today are actually pragmatists.

This may seem contradictory, but it is not contradictory at all.

Because idealism means that the feelings of scholars for the country and the people are true, and pragmatism means that scholars will continue to try no matter what method they use.

The Neo-Confucianism that began to emerge in the Song Dynasty did not talk about principles, but only about forms. It divided the whole society into different components and required each part to perform its own duties.

This division is very suitable for the emperor's rule, so Neo Confucianism emerged.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang's stereotyped essays were originally formulated with strict formalism because there were too few scholars in the late Yuan and early Ming Dynasties. In fact, this was also influenced by Neo Confucianism.

But he didn't know that when the whole society began to be restricted by rules and regulations, it was tantamount to castrating the minds of scholars.

Zhu Zhanji himself is ignorant, he doesn't know too much about the profound truth, he just knows some superficial.

But with historical experience, he is very clear that this kind of ideological castration and rigid social division will gradually make the entire Chinese nation lose its upward momentum.

For example, the division of soldiers, farmers, industry, and soldiers led to the fact that everyone wanted to be a soldier, but no one wanted to work, no one wanted to farm, and no one wanted to be a businessman.

Of course, there will be no shortage of other classes in the whole society, but these classes are already divided today.

Whether you are farming, working, or doing business, if you don’t work hard to become a scholar, you will always be exploited.

And the path to become a scholar is very narrow...

This has led to the fact that the lower classes have no intention of engaging in their own duties, and have lost the motivation for research.

The social development throughout history has always been spiraling upward, but after the Ming Dynasty, it began to shrink directly, and in the Qing Dynasty, it even went backwards.
