Back To The Beginning Of Ming To Do Charity

Since Lin Yuan ascended the throne, the Song Mansion has been crowded with people, and Song Shizhao bought houses on both sides in order to accommodate the diners.

Numerous scholars want to join his disciples, so as to use this springboard to skyrocket.

Song Shizhao saw another group of students before he could retreat indoors.

Zheng Qingfeng has been waiting here for a long time.

"Sir." Zheng Qingfeng cupped his hands.

Song Shizhao replied, "Master Zheng."

The chessboard has already been set, Zheng Qingfeng said with a smile: "Sir, come to a game with the lower officials?"

Song Shizhao sat across from Zheng Qingfeng: "Master Zheng please."

The battle on the chessboard was in full swing, and Zheng Qingfeng suddenly asked: "Your Majesty is taking advantage of the aristocratic family."

Song Shizhao dropped his son, with a smile on his face: "When the emperor ascends the throne, this is the time to set the tone. The family is intertwined. If the family is strong, the emperor will be weak. If the emperor is strong, the family will be weak."

"The children of the aristocratic family are different from those from the poor family. They have learned since childhood. Even if His Majesty suppresses it, he will not completely abandon it." Zheng Qingfeng shook his head, "Your Majesty's move will chill the hearts of the children of the world's aristocratic family. Why don't you persuade me?"

Song Shizhao: "How to persuade? Advise Your Majesty, there is no family in this world, and no one can govern? Advise Your Majesty, the world today is still not under your Majesty's world? Let the aristocratic family grow bigger, and the children become officials. Even if you go out of the capital, you still have to look at the face of the aristocratic family?"

Zheng Qingfeng was taken aback for a moment, he himself is a child of an aristocratic family, he stared and said: "Why are you so narrow-minded, sir?"

"Narrow?" Song Shizhao smiled, "Let me ask you, who is the emperor?"

Zheng Qingfeng: "The man who commands the world."

Song Shizhao: "Wrong, it is the person who holds the power in the world."

Zheng Qingfeng showed fear: "Sir, what you mean is... Your Majesty wants... Your Majesty wants..."

Song Shizhao nodded: "Aristocratic families are like wolves, and wolves are in packs. They each occupy a city, just like in the Yuan Dynasty. The officials sent by the emperor have to make friends with them, and the emperor's orders can be ignored. If things go on like this, who will rule the world? Is it the emperor? Or the family?"

"There are countless aristocratic families, but they can make friends with each other."

"There is only one emperor."

"Master Zheng, do you understand?" Song Shizhao dropped his last son, the dragon's power was completed, and Zheng Qingfeng was defeated.

Zheng Qingfeng sighed: "There is no turning back?"

Song Shizhao: "Your Majesty Zheng came from a noble family, so it is inevitable that you will feel sad when the rabbit dies, but His Majesty is no longer the old method, and will not kill them all immediately. The children of the family are available, but they are promoted as people with lofty ideals, not the children of anyone else." Get hired, understand?"

Zheng Qingfeng lowered his head: "After listening to what you said, the next official suddenly understood."

Song Shizhao hurriedly said: "Master Zheng is a smart man, being loyal to His Majesty is being loyal to the country."

Zheng Qingfeng sighed, "I'm narrow-minded..."

Song Shizhao said with a smile: "Master Zheng, you are one of the few sensible people in the world. Believe it or not, when I say these words to the children of foreign aristocratic families, they will definitely not obey, because in their hearts, family is the most important thing." , The king is light, they are for the name of the family, not for the benefit of the emperor."

Zheng Qingfeng understood: "Your Majesty, do you want to take the imperial examination?"

Song Shizhao stroked his beard: "Exactly."

When Zheng Qingfeng left, he turned and glanced at the plaque of the Song Mansion.

It's not that His Majesty doesn't want to use the children of the aristocratic family, he just wants...the children of the aristocratic family can be used by him after shedding that shell.

Let them be loyal to Ming Dynasty, loyal to the emperor, and loyal to imperial power.

rather than aristocratic.

The family did not come to a dead end.

But it has come to a dead end.

Zheng Qingfeng got into the carriage, thinking about his own life.

Although the Zheng family is an aristocratic family, the aristocratic family is also divided into big and small, and rich and poor. The Zheng family has a rich collection of books, but they are all accumulated by the ancestors. When it comes to money, it is really poor. His father once told him, Being trapped will never be a lifetime of hardship.

As long as the children in the family make progress, no matter what, they can keep the Zheng family's signboard. As long as the signboard is there, the Zheng family can still be an official.

Sure enough, Zheng Qingfeng became an official, and was recommended by relatives and friends to become an official.

He saw with his own eyes that most of the officials sent down were under the control of the local aristocratic family, without the aristocratic family's consent, the imperial order could not even leave the government office, let alone implement it.

In the city, the aristocratic family has been entrenched for a hundred years, and they know the population of the city well. Most of the population in the city are slaves of the aristocratic family.

In the past, he thought that the family was right.

After all, the emperor is fatuous, and his government orders are not beneficial to the people. Fortunately, there are aristocratic families supervising them.

Only in this way can the people recuperate.

But at this moment, Zheng Qingfeng shuddered when he thought of all the past.

That is imperial power!From ancient times to the present, whoever is in sole control of power, who would be willing to share the imperial power?

The following offenses are capital offenses.

Zheng Qingfeng sighed, and said to the driver: "There's no need to go to Wu's residence, let's go back to the residence."

The coachman said strangely: "My lord, it's still early."

Zheng Qingfeng shook his head: "Go home."

The driver had to turn the horse's head.

Lin Yuan is meeting capable people and strangers at the moment.

He has the heart of recruiting talents, but at this moment, he is not recruiting ministers who govern the country.

It is a craftsman.

The status of craftsmen has always been low. Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants seem to be the lowest. However, after the Song and Yuan dynasties, the status of merchants has long since ceased to be the same as before.

In fact, the artisan is the lowest-status person.

But the country's scientific and technological capabilities rely on craftsmen.

A knife, a pot, and a boat are all achievements of craftsmen.

There is no benefit in craftsman's research, and there is no harm in following the old rules.

What Lin Yuan now hopes is to create stronger firearms as soon as possible. Chinese firearms have a long history, dating back to the Tang Dynasty. Gunpowder appeared in the Qin and Han Dynasties and was used in the Tang Dynasty.

During the Song Dynasty, firearms went a step further, and burst guns appeared.

The Yuan Dynasty improved the sudden fire gun, called the fire gun.

In the Ming Dynasty, the use of firearms was rare, and there were hand guns, bird guns, cannons and rockets, not only that, but also mines and sea mines.

However, the technology of the Ming Dynasty was not enough, and it was unable to manufacture a tube-valve type gun barrel with after-installation function.

It was Portugal's invasion that made those in power in the Ming Dynasty discover that the artillery of the Westerners was better.

So the Ming Dynasty began to learn advanced foreign technology.

It's a pity that although they have learned and improved and invented stronger Zhidian and Thunderbolts, they have not found a way to mass-produce them, and there is no production line.

But even so, the firearms of the Ming Dynasty were stronger than most parts of the world.

However, in the Qing Dynasty, although the Qing Dynasty also improved firearms, it was too conservative, self-styled and closed to the outside world, resulting in the development of firearms far behind the West. Therefore, the iron cavalry of the great powers smashed the gates of the Qing Dynasty, and the Qing Dynasty had no power to fight back.

What Lin Yuan wants is to gather all the other worlds and create a production line for mass production.

At this time, those kneeling below were all craftsmen from all over the world. After Lin Yuan's order was sent out, all the cities sent people over.

His decree was not discounted at this time.

He doesn't expect to make progress within a few years, and even his generation may not make much progress, but he has to start this head, and only when this head is started, can domestic habits be formed.

"You are the backbone of our nation's strength." Lin Yuan said to the trembling artisans kneeling below, "Please rise."

The craftsmen didn't dare to move. They used to be scared when they saw a small official, let alone the emperor.

Lin Yuan stood up, walked into the hall, and helped up an old gray-haired craftsman.

"Master, once you are old, come here and give me a seat." Lin Yuan gave an order, and a waiter offered a chair.

The old master was so frightened that his face turned pale. He almost knelt down to Lin Yuan again. If Lin Yuan hadn't supported him, he would have fallen to the ground.

"Grassmen... Caomin dare not..." The master sits on the chair as if on the execution ground.

Lin Yuan pressed the master's shoulder and said to everyone: "My country is the country of you, and the strength of you is the country's luck and strength."

These words frightened the craftsmen.

They...they are just small people, how can they be connected with the prosperity of the country?

Lin Yuan said again: "I heard that there were firecrackers in the Yuan Dynasty. Now that the Ming Dynasty has been established, it should be a step forward and a higher level."

"Everyone who studies art and serves the country, I will not be stingy, but there are those who are outstanding and those who are innovative, I will reward them with titles."

The craftsmen suddenly stopped shaking.

Knighthood?Knighthood!

The titles in Lin Yuan's hands are all vain titles, they have no real power, cannot be hereditary, will be exhausted in one generation, and cannot leave Beijing.

But if there is food and salary, one generation will be a noble, and the descendants will be better off.

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "The Great Ming is my Great Ming, and it is also your Great Ming. I hope that you will work together to strengthen our country's strength and promote our country's prestige!"

The craftsmen's foreheads touched the ground, and the mountains shouted long live.

In addition, the districts in the capital were renamed as districts, and each district had a district chief, a clerk, household registration, and government orders issued by the central government.

The entire city of Beijing is like a rail link, the district chief is the person who followed Lin Yuan when he made his fortune, and the scribes are the children of the aristocratic family.

The imperial power was in the capital and flourished for a while.

All the cities around the capital were captured by Zhu Yuanzhang, Chen Bosong and Li Congrong.

A large army is stationed in the city, deterring countless people who are peeping in the dark.

These cities are all big cities, and all the officials in the cities were arrested. New officials took office, implemented new laws, and obeyed new orders.

"Your Majesty, the people of our country still need to be supported." Song Shizhao remonstrated.

Lin Yuan was eating snacks, and he waved to Song Shizhao: "Come and sit down, sir, please eat."

Song Shizhao sat down and said, "Now that His Majesty is making a bold move, he is afraid of retaliation."

Lin Yuan nodded: "Sir, what you said is true, but now it's just the beginning of a new dynasty, and it's the right time to reform. It will be difficult to reform after all the dust settles."

Song Shizhao sighed, "I'm afraid it's not safe."

"Emperor Sui Yang's excavation of the Grand Canal was originally a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people. It can open up the five major rivers, not only open the river, but also connect the land, transport armaments, and open up business routes. In this way, the country will be rich and the people strong, but what will the result be?" Song Shizhao cupped his hands, "Your Majesty, you still need to figure it out slowly."

Lin Yuan: "I understand the truth, and I understand my husband's worries."

"But sir, in ancient times, the Qin State reformed and became strong, and now we have the Ming Dynasty reforming the system, how do you know that the Ming Dynasty is not strong?"

Song Shizhao: "But what happened to Shang Yang?"

Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Sir, today is not the past, when there is no Qi Chu Yan Zhao Han."

"Sir, would you like to be your prime minister?" Lin Yuan looked at him.

Song Shizhao couldn't say another word.

Lin Yuan asked again: "Sir, would you like to help me?"

Song Shizhao bowed his head: "My minister, I dare not refuse, but I want to serve the country and Your Majesty, and I will do my best before I die."
