After Zhu Youxiao sighed like this, he summoned Yuan Keli, Xu Guangqi, and Bi Ziyan, three auxiliary ministers, to the front of the palace, and let these people read Feng Quan's remarks to Nurhachi."
According to Feng Quan, most of the powerful gentry of the Ming Dynasty are not happy to make the people of the Ming Dynasty rich, because if there is no starvation in this world, the wine and meat of the Zhumen will also become unfragrant, what do you think of this remark?"
Zhu Youxiao also asked at this time.Yuan Keli replied bluntly: "It's really in vain to read the book of sages!"
As a scholar, if you only enjoy yourself for your own pleasure, then what good is it to study, it is better not to study!
”"If everyone can eat and drink, then there is nothing strange about the food and clothing, and it is difficult to compare it with wealth, if everyone can go out with a fragrant car BMW, then the fragrant car BMW is not very unusual, and it is difficult to compare it with wealth, but this does not mean that the rich and noble can therefore prevent the poor from getting rich, and then would rather let the food and meat that cannot be eaten rot than sell it to the poor, so it is undoubtedly in the tyranny of heaven, the harmony of heaven and heaven, and the violation of human morality.""
Now because of the increase in the income of the common people in the world, the prosperity of commerce is far greater than before, the powerful gentry, all those who do business have made a lot of profits, richer than in the past, if they are not satisfied with this, and only want to make themselves richer, and do not want the people to be richer, that is not only selfish, but also very short-sighted, if the people do not follow the wealth, where will their wealth increase?""
Therefore, Your Majesty, in the opinion of the ministers, what Feng Quan said does not mean that the government that I am doing today is contrary to the hearts of the people in the world, but those who have insight will know that today's Ming Dynasty needs the people to be richer and live a better life, so that the official industry of the imperial court can have more income, and the business of the world can be more prosperous.Xu Guangqi followed up and said a lot.And Zhu Youxiao heard that his core idea was one point: if the common people are not allowed to have the same fine clothes and food as the powerful gentry, and even enjoy the same treatment, then how to stimulate consumption, where will the profits of the government-run industry increase?
Undoubtedly, as the treasury income of the Ming Empire mainly relied on the commodity economy, and Xu Guangqi and other rentiers also relied on the commodity economy to increase their income, Xu Guangqi and others also changed their thinking, and began to favor improving the social status of the common people because of the interests of the court and themselves, allowing them to be clothed and fed before they gained fame, that is, before they became the ruling class."
What Xu Aiqing said is very true, I have long said that I established the Xingming Society, not on a whim, it is in line with the general trend and the people's will, what he Feng Quan said can only represent the ideas of some of the powerful gentry, but I am more of a common people, and the powerful gentry who do not approve of enslaving others is the right way, people like Feng Quan are the same as those barbarians, because they want to enslave others, so they are willing to defect to the enemy and betray the country, to be barbarian slaves, these people have joined the enemy, the so-called Tao is not the same, they betray the Ming Dynasty and come together, It can be regarded as a similar smell, and it will give me a chance to catch it all in the future for the Ming Dynasty!
”After listening to Xu Guangqi, Zhu Youxiao nodded and said it too."
Shengming has no fault with Your Majesty, and some are willing to fall, even the gods can't save them."
Bi Ziyan replied.Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "But if you can save it, you still have to save it, in terms of educating people's hearts, if we don't occupy it, the enemy will occupy it, if Nurhachi and Lin Dan Khan really want to enslave the people of the world together, especially the enslavement of the hundreds of millions of people of our Han family as a lure, and win over those ignorant, selfish, and even backward magnates and gentry as their lackeys, it will undoubtedly cause greater trouble to the Ming Dynasty and will also cause greater turmoil, so we have to get ahead of them, so that more people can change their concepts and get rid of ignorance and backwardness." ”"When the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, a large number of Han people were willing to be their lackeys, and even Zhang Hongfan was proud of it, and after the destruction of the Han Dynasty - the Southern Song Dynasty, a monument was erected to remember, thinking that it could make future generations admire its merits, it can be seen that from that time, my Han people have no idea of the country and the nation, and Rao is a scholar is also the same, which is of course related to the Zhao and Song dynasties and lost the heart of the Han people in the north, but it also proves that at that time, there were many people who did not think about the country and the nation.
Even more than the number of invaders themselves, although it is related to the corruption of the rulers, it shows how much our Han people lack people who share the same hatred!
But everyone has the idea of a country and a nation, so why is it that although there are many Han people in history, they were once Hulu's two-legged sheep and fourth-class people!
Therefore, we, the rulers, must strengthen the education in this regard, so that the Han people in the world know their country and their clan, and are willing to defend their country and their clan. ”Zhu Youxiao continued to say a few words.The Auxiliary Ministers who were present listened to it.Because they have a share of the government industry, they now need this theory very much to prove the correctness of their current governance.After all, Yuan Keli, Xu Guangqi, and Bi Ziyan are not willing to let the Ming Dynasty fall, or even decline.If the Ming Dynasty falls, other dynasties can't give them so much share of wealth, after all, other dynasties will first distribute the benefits to their own magnates, and their family is a partnership with the imperial court, so only the more the imperial court income increases, the more they will share.They were more willing to be loyal to Zhu Youxiao's Ming Dynasty than in history.But they themselves were not aware of it, but they did accept the ideas expressed by the emperor now without questioning them."
Your Majesty is reasonable, in the past, the monarchs and ministers emphasized too much on the virtue of humanity, and ignored the feelings of compatriots of the same race, and the idea of defending the country is to defend the family.Yuan Keli also echoed at this time.Zhu Youxiao nodded for this: "That's right, we can't ignore the feelings of our compatriots, we in power, we should love all the people of our own country, and we can't divide them, after all, everyone is the descendants of Yan and Huang, otherwise, once you ignore the feelings of your compatriots and blindly regard them as slaves, it will undoubtedly make people of the same race drift away from morality, so that the country will die in a foreign race, so that the whole clan, regardless of whether you are high or low, are slaves of foreign captives!"
Feng Quan and other generations, you have to try your best to transform and educate them, if you can successfully transform and educate, it can be regarded as a merit, if you still can't, stubborn, then get rid of it!
As for how to educate?
First of all, we have to start with the youth, so that all the young people in the world know that their country is the Ming Dynasty, their clan is Chinese, they know what the country is, and know that their property rights and life rights are all protected by the state to have this right, so that they can have human dignity, not be slaves of others!
If the country dies, it will be a slave to the country, and at that time, there will be no right to be a man, and if you want to protect your right to be a man, you must first defend your own country together, and even transform your own country. ”Then, Zhu Youxiao continued to instruct: "The edict ordered the Hanlin Temple to immediately compile a book of "The Biography of the Second Minister", and record Zhang Hongfan and other scholars who had worked for foreign dynasties into it, so as to pass on his deeds of how his compatriots fell into the misery of the country, so that the people of the world would wake up, and Feng Quan would also be included in it, even if he is still alive; In addition, a book of "Biography of Loyal Ministers" was compiled, which recorded Yue Fei and other things that fought for the country and the nation, passed on his loyalty, and how the dedication of these loyal ministers kept the people of his country from being slaves, for example, we can compare the situation of the Han people in the Southern Song Dynasty with the Han people in the Yuan Dynasty, and praise Yue Fei's achievements in defending the country of his own people, all in the vernacular, which should be easy to understand, so that the people of Mengtong can understand the reason. ”"Yes!""
Well, hurry up and do it, and think of more ways to make people deeply aware of the importance of the fate of the country and the rights and interests of individuals."
