My Daming New Empire

While the officials were reading Zhang Han's manuscript, Zhu Zhanji asked again: "Guangbo, since you intend to break the church's rule over the European people, do you have any plans?"

Zhang Han bowed and said: "On the way back from Europa this time, I have been thinking about how to go in the future. After thinking about it, I came up with two immature plans."

"tell me the story."

"I am also proficient in Latin, so I have the heart to translate all the laws and regulations of my Ming Dynasty, so that the white people in Europa know that in Central Continent, there are far more advanced laws and regulations than theirs. I don't have a job now, so I want to Going to Europa to give lectures."

Zhu Zhanji was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect that Zhang Han himself had already thought of this, and now he didn't need to be bewitched by himself, he took the initiative to think about it.

He asked calmly, "What about the second plan?"

Zhang Handao: "In my Ming Dynasty, only a few yamen have the power to run newspapers, but there are no such restrictions in Europa. My minister intends to open a newspaper in Europa to open up the wisdom of the people."

Zhu Zhanji wanted to applaud Zhang Han, but at this time, he pretended to be flat and said: "The two roads are going on at the same time, which shows that you have thought about it carefully. But, have you ever thought that your actions like this, But if you violate the taboo of the church, aren't you afraid that the church will target you specifically, or even assassinate you?"

There was a trace of determination on Zhang Han's young face. "Although there are thousands of people, I will go!"

Seeing Zhang Han's resolute attitude, Zhu Zhanji knew that there was no need to fan the flames in this regard. The fire was too strong, and it would only go too far.

Zhang Han is willing to go to Europe to light the fire, so let him do it, and the court will follow behind to fill in the gaps, which will be more effective.

As for whether Zhang Han can survive, it depends on his life.

Zhu Zhanji raised his voice and said: "The matter of Zhang Han and Zhang Guangbo today is only known to the chief officials of the ministries, and no publicity is made. As for Zhang Han's actions in Europe, the ministries of my court will not interfere, and only provide necessary support at critical moments." assistance."

Everyone should be one after another.Zhu Zhanji then turned the topic back and asked: "Just now you said that the barriers between my Ming classes are not clear, which is the biggest advantage over the solidification of the Europa class. Then, let me ask you, what do you want? Solve the problem of Europa's class solidification, and how can I ensure that my Ming Dynasty has always had an absolute advantage in all aspects of Europa?"

Zhang Han froze for a moment, a little confused about what Zhu Zhanji meant.

Zhu Zhanji saw that he was a little confused, and immediately knew that he hadn't considered it so thoroughly, but acted with enthusiasm, which is also one of the most distinctive characteristics of the white left class, without considering the overall situation.

Zhu Zhanji also said: "My Ming Dynasty has a distinct class, and Europa also has a distinct class. Leaving aside Europa, just take my Ming Dynasty as an example. The royal class and the noble class are two stable classes. Afterwards, civil servants, generals, The common people are divided into layers. After that, there is the foreigner class, the family of sinners and happy families, and there are seven major classes in our Ming Dynasty.

These seven classes constitute the overall social structure of my Ming Dynasty. Except for the royal family, the other major classes are not fixed classes. Even the lowest class of happy households and criminal households can have the opportunity to rise to the noble and official class. , This kind of circulation is the main reason why my Ming Dynasty has always been strong.

Now, you want to educate the Europeans and let them learn from our Ming Dynasty. Have you ever thought that if they become the same as Da Ming, how can I maintain an advantage over them? "

Zhang Han said in amazement: "My Ming Dynasty now has more than 2000 million people, while the total population of Europa is less than [-] million. My Ming Dynasty occupies most of the world, and they only live in a corner. How can they become a threat to my Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said: "Although you are rich in knowledge now, the knowledge you have learned is the knowledge system formed by my ancestors after thousands of years of accumulation. Do you think that this knowledge is yours after you learn it? , and also shouldered the responsibility of carrying forward the past and ushering in the future. Now you want to pass on the knowledge accumulated by our ancestors to other races, can you be worthy of our ancestors?"

Hearing what Zhu Zhanji said, Zhang Han fell to his knees with a frightened plop. "I don't dare,...it's because I think it's easy."

Zhu Zhanji said loudly: "Since I allow you to give lectures in Europa, I am not afraid that you will promote our oriental civilization. However, you cannot spread everything without reservation, but you must have a bottom line and know which aspects should be improved. reserve."

Having said that, the ministers present have actually understood Zhu Zhanji's intentions, only Zhang Han is currently in the game and has not yet understood.

Although Zhu Zhanji said so, he was not worried in his heart.

First of all, Ming Dynasty had a unified regime and a stable political structure.On the other hand, there are many small countries in Europe, each acting independently, and it is impossible to unify the culture.

Secondly, the cultural essence of Ming Dynasty is the imperial power, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism culture that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for thousands of years.

Even if Europe learns how to use the law as an example like Ming Dynasty, it cannot learn to use morality as its inner.Not to mention that there is also the essence of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trust that has been accumulated for thousands of years.

If they just imitate, they are destined not to be Da Ming's opponents. If they really want to learn from Da Ming, their barbarians will only end up as toddlers in Handan.

Zhu Zhanji told Zhang Han in this way that he had only one purpose, and that was to let him follow the arrangement of the court to follow a path that was in line with the interests of Ming Dynasty, instead of becoming the opposite of Ming Dynasty.

Of course, this possibility is very small.Because if Zhang Han takes imperial power and the theory of class to Europe, it is more likely that he will ignite a nuclear bomb in Europe and blow up Europe to pieces.

Because, this is Daming's values, completely inconsistent with the reality of Europe!

Chapter 28 Ambition

If Zhang Han wants to go to Europe to start a revolution, he must also be educated in the patriotism of Ming Dynasty, and he will not let him go when his thoughts are not finalized.

Therefore, the following discussion will not be his business, but let him listen to the discussions of the chief officials of the various ministries of the imperial court on the various problems that have arisen in the current social structure of the Ming Dynasty.

A family with a large number of people will have various problems, let alone a huge empire.

The current society of Ming Dynasty is very stable. Now that Nanyang, Nanzhou, Dongzhou, Xizhou, and Beidi are regulated, domestic social conflicts are not worth mentioning.

But it doesn't mean that Daming doesn't have any problems, on the contrary, there are still many small problems.

However, these problems were not valued and paid attention to by people during the rapid development of Ming Dynasty.

Ordinary people in the East, as long as they have a bite to eat, they will not think about rebellion.In today's era when Ming's economy is taking off and the people live and work in peace and contentment, some minor problems can't affect the overall situation.

But for the rulers of the imperial court, any problem must be taken seriously, so there is a regular meeting of the parliament every ten days to study solutions to various problems and conduct legislative discussions.

Zhu Zhanji asked the ministers to discuss the shortcomings of the social structure of the Ming Dynasty today. Everyone can say a lot, and many of them have their own opinions and solutions.

During this process, Zhang Han realized that he had considered too few issues and was too one-sided.

As for the restoration of the Daming Law, this is a major event. Zhu Zhanji only proposed a beginning today. The ministers need to go through many discussions before they can finally come up with a plan.

The Great Ming Law is the basic constitution of the Ming Dynasty, but in the past, it only focused on the authority of the ruler and did not put people first.

Now, Zhu Zhanji has put forward the idea of ​​putting people first and putting the country first, and that the authority of the Ming Law is higher than that of the general royal privileges, which is tantamount to self-restriction.

Therefore, no matter whether it is a civil servant or a military general, he absolutely dare not make rash suggestions without careful consideration.

The midday meeting lasted until noon, and this kind of retreat discussion would naturally not have a definite result.

But even so, Zhang Han still feels that he has gained a lot. This kind of analysis of the entire social structure and various problems of a country's elites is a field that he, a young man, has never been exposed to before.

The experience of these people is very useful to him.

Of course, how much he can learn is actually not within Zhu Zhanji's consideration.

For Zhu Zhanji now, even the problems in Europe are nothing more than trivial matters, while telephone calls and wireless telegrams are the real big things.

From March to September, the telephone has become an integral telephone after he and Lan Yan's guidance.Although the size of the current telephone is still not small, there are already prototypes of future generations of telephones.

With the current technology, program-controlled telephones are impossible, but the research and development of contact telephones is not difficult.

During the period when Ma Dian was researching the telephone contact system, Lan Yan asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to train a group of craftsmen's daughters to become operators.

Anyone who picks up the phone does not dial the contact line of the other party. If the current line is directly dialed, it will only lead to cross-connection.

Therefore, the current telephone calls need a transfer center. Every call can go directly to the transfer center, and then connect to the other party's line through the operator.

By September, a transit center had been set up in the palace, and the various government offices, including the homes of some major officials, began to install lines and telephones in sequence.

This is just the beginning. When the telephone is popularized in every city, at this time, the rule of the empire will be unbreakable.

Because every emperor can directly convey orders to the grassroots, it is impossible for anyone to lie to others. Wherever there is a disaster or rebellion, the palace can get the news as soon as possible.
