The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

"A question from you is better than ten years of reading!"

"Damn, I've been suffering a lot before, and it turns out that I can't find the right way. As long as I follow the method of The Wealth of Nations, accumulate more original capital, and invest more in promising industries, can I also be a rich man?"

"It turns out that the pursuit of wealth is not shameful. From now on, we will no longer listen to those rotten scholars' nonsense, keep our own place, let fate, and start doing business!"

"Exactly! I have long wanted to set up a caravan to do trade between China and Japan. I heard that it can make a fortune!"

Not only in Nanjing, but also in Hangzhou, Suzhou, Ningbo, Zhenjiang, Wuhan, Guangzhou and other important southern cities, Yan Song's Theory of the Wealth of Nations was published almost simultaneously.

Although only the first volume of "The Wealth of Nations" has been published so far, with a total of more than 1 words, it has already aroused huge repercussions in the southeast.

The merchant class, almost unanimously supported Mr. Yan Ge.

Small citizens and peasants are temporarily on the sidelines.Some people are deeply encouraged to do business and build workshops, while others are skeptical and hesitant.

The biggest voices of opposition are, of course, scholars and officials.

Almost unanimously, they all accused the Minister of Jinghai, the Taishi of the Ming Dynasty, and Yan Song, the chief minister of the cabinet, of deceiving the public with evil words, harming the country and the people, and spreading fallacies and heresies that ran counter to the teachings of Confucius and Mencius and the teachings of the Ming ancestors, causing harm to people's hearts.

The entire south of Ming Dynasty was full of debates.

Fierce quarrels and debates can be heard in various restaurants, teahouses, bathhouses, academies in Nanjing, and even on the painted boats on the Qinhuai River.

For example, on the painting boat on the Qinhuai River, an old voice is roaring.

"Yan Song is really a beast in clothes when he writes this theory of the wealth of the country! A gentle scum! This old man is so mad."

"Really? But I think that Mr. Yan Ge really deserves to be the number one wise man in my Ming Dynasty. This [On the Wealth of Nations] is written at the right time. My Ming Dynasty will definitely reform the accumulated evils of the past and sweep away Cheng Zhu's Confucianism." Let go of the shackles and enter a new era."

"What? Which family's youngster are you, dare to be so arrogant in front of the old man, and support Yan Song?"

"Old Master, what you said should be said in the academy. But now it is a brothel! Where is your way of Confucius and Mencius, which preserves the laws of nature and destroys human desires?"

"·····Forehead"

This Nima is embarrassed.

In short, the south of the Ming Dynasty was caught in serious and intense debates and quarrels. Every day, the headlines on the front page of the newspaper were all about the Wealth of Nations. Got squeezed all the way to the pathetic 5th edition.

(Wang Zhi cried to death, Nima, why is it so difficult for someone surnamed Wang to make a headline?)

(A certain person surnamed Wang in later generations:... It is a curse of a thousand-year fate that our surname Wang cannot make the headlines?)

It is said that Dongfang Bai is planning how to threaten Yan Song again, sell [The Wealth of Nations], and use it as a king bomb to make Yan Song burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

Unexpectedly, she heard a street newsboy yelling and asked someone to buy two newspapers to read: "..."

Dongfang Bai was so angry that she dimpled pale.

Yan Song simply came up with a headline and took the initiative to print it, so there was no need for her to threaten any more.

In doing so, it became Yan Song hyping himself up.

(Yan Song: Instead of asking you to fry it, why don’t you fry it yourself! Hmph!)

This trick ruined Dongfang Bai's plan.

"Damn Yan Song!" Dongfang Bai tore up the newspaper, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll wait to see how you end up."

Wang Bengu and Mao Pijiang were ecstatic.

Every day, they receive a large number of insults and swearing at Yan Song from the most conservative clan in the south, as well as officials and scholars, as frivolous as eating bee excrement.

"Hahaha! Feng Changgong!" Wang Bengu rushed in, not like an old man in his 50s, holding a newspaper and laughing wildly: "If the sky wants to destroy it, it must first make it crazy. This is not true at all. Wrong. Now that Yan Song actually publishes such a deviant book [On the Wealth of Nations], there is a sensation in the southeast, and the officials and gentry want to tear him apart. Our big event can be accomplished!"

Mao Bijiang smiled slyly, and followed suit: "Old Wang is right. The situation of Yan Song is very good. We can only sue. But when [The Wealth of Nations] came out, the scholars in the southeast They turned to us one after another. Just when we resumed the society, we accepted no less than a thousand applications from rich and noble sons to join the society. They are all aggressive, and they want to unite and fight against Yan Song."

Dongfang Bai looked at these two shit-eating fellows, one old and one young, coldly, and snorted coldly.

Fart, that is the credit of this seat.

However, she also had to admire Yan Songning's stubbornness for breaking the jade but not for the whole.

"Hmph! Stubborn donkey, let me see how you end up?"

At this time, Yan Song was not in the mansion, but in Wansong Academy.

. .

Chapter 1434 Nima, Yan Song’s routine again [3]

Wansong Academy is the most famous academy in Nanjing and one of the four major academies.

Here, scholars gather, and it is a place where the southeast's culture gathers.

Yan Song is giving a lecture at this time.

That's right.

Since he was determined to face it head-on, he not only printed his own "The Wealth of Nations", but also deeply occupied the position of public opinion and widely publicized his "The Wealth of Nations".

This is a war without gunpowder.

Whether the theory of the Wealth of Nations and Yan Song's final reform blueprint can become a reality depends on whether Yan Song can refute the diehards and let the people from all walks of life accept his theories.

Only when the top and bottom of the Ming Dynasty, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen have a unified understanding, can the reforms of the Ming Dynasty be advanced in depth without hindrance.

Otherwise, it will repeat the tragedy of Wang Anshi's reform - all the policies above will be offset by the countermeasures below, and in the end it will bring disaster to the country and the people.

Yan Song was invited to give a lecture to tens of thousands of scholars in Wansong Academy.
