Zhu Youxiao used the greatest patience to listen to these scholars before he said: "I generally understand what you mean!"
But I think that as a scholar, you still have to have some backbone, and some discipline is better, not too snobbish!
After all, studying is not about making money, there are many ways to make money, so why use this way?
”"I love my teacher, and I love the truth even more, this is what Aristotle of Tessie said, and it is still very philosophical!
Even if you can't do this, you can't just have a mouthpiece and no brains of your own, otherwise, if you really open your mouth, I will know what kind of heart you contain. ”The scholars present were directly stunned after hearing this.Didn't you say that I love to listen to academic explanations today?
Why is there a needle hidden in these words now?
And it is obvious that he has the intention of humiliating himself, these people are taking money for others.Scholars are naturally unhappy in their hearts, but it is also difficult to show it.At this time, Min Xuancheng was also quite nervous.He also did not expect that the Son of Heaven would not be brainwashed successfully by these scholars who usually talk eloquently and are knowledgeable."
Min Xuancheng!"
Suddenly, Zhu Youxiao called Min Xuancheng.Min Xuancheng hurriedly stepped forward: "Please give instructions to Your Majesty." ”"The imperial court has cultivated you for nothing!"
Zhu Youxiao said this straightforwardly, and his tone was obviously harsher than those scholars just now.After hearing this, Min Xuancheng dared to stand still in place, and immediately prostrate on the ground, his body trembled slightly, and he couldn't help but raise his sleeves to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead, and he was afraid that this would make Zhu Youxiao dissatisfied, so he put his hand back on the ground."
I have no place to be ashamed!""
How much have they done you to do so much for them, to charge for them?
I remember that your social examination results in Xingmingshe were not bad, and your consciousness was quite high, why did you start to be a dog for others now, or did you also start to believe in liberalism, sat on their side, and also favored the imperial court to reduce interference and increase the right of local autonomy?
”Zhu Youxiao asked."
Ministers, ministers, ministers just think that Suzhou is different from other places, and some facts need to be known to Your Majesty, and these scholars may be able to point out one or two for Your Majesty, the so-called both listening is clear, and partial belief is dark, and the ministers dare not assert their rights and wrongs, and only take an objective person to do things for Your Majesty and the people of Suzhou."
Min Xuancheng replied."
Are you letting me listen?""
But how come I can only hear one voice?"
Zhu Youxiao asked."
Your Majesty!
You don't have to be embarrassed anymore, Suzhou, as the largest source of economic growth in the Ming Dynasty, has an unparalleled wealth growth advantage in other places, and he should be a key investment place for national funds, and he should also be given preferential treatment to promote the prosperity of the prosperous world!
”At this time, the scholar Wu Nandai couldn't help but stand up and speak for Min Xuancheng.Zhu Youxiao looked at him because of this, and said with a faint smile: "But Daming is not only in Suzhou!"
”Gu </span> Wu Nandai continued: "But Suzhou is the place that the imperial court should pay the most attention to!
”"Because Suzhou is the face of Daming, and it is also the only place that can bring value to Suzhou, Suzhou deserves more preferential treatment!""
Instead of being like now, Suzhou is a place where businessmen have difficulty in financing, but barren places like Yunnan, Guizhou, Longxi, and Xixi can get huge amounts of state financial support every year, and as a result, the bridges and roads built have not brought any economic benefits at all except for the use of the imperial court, official schools, and the army.In addition, the richness of Suzhou is different from other places, and the problems faced by the rulers are also different from those in other places, so some decrees of the imperial court are only suitable for other places, and are not suitable for Suzhou, giving Suzhou a certain degree of autonomy is conducive to the people of Suzhou and making it more prosperous. ”"Suzhou has high per capita knowledge, many technical talents, and developed industry and commerce, which I admit."
But this does not mean that Suzhou has all this by himself, and it is driven by the developed domestic demand within the entire empire!
Without the whole Ming Dynasty as the foundation, what did you rely on to develop Suzhou?
”"By talent?
But how many of them are local?
”When Zhu Youxiao said this, he asked, "Are you local?"
”Wu Nandai did not answer."
How to use the state funds, how to regulate the economy, what role Suzhou plays in the entire Ming Dynasty, the imperial court has its own arrangements, you can express your opinions, but it does not mean that the imperial court must listen to you!"
When Zhu Youxiao said this, he looked at Min Xuancheng and said, "Min Xuancheng, you go back and bring a message to your masters: Let's just say that before I ascended the throne, the official industry was not strong enough, and it was even basically hollowed out by them by various means.Let's just say that the weaving bureaus and paper mills around the country, and the better craftsmen were not all secretly poached by them?
In addition, at that time, the profits of global trade were basically all attributed to them, and the Xiyi power was weaker than when I ascended the throne, but why did they not strengthen their own private power because of this, and then form a powerful force, which was enough to force the imperial court to expand externally and seize their own personal interests?
Now, I have made the official camp of the imperial court bigger, and then eliminated all kinds of obstacles, and finally have the strength to expand externally, and have obtained countless wealth, why do they want to come to the white wolf with empty gloves?
Just because you have a lot of money and can do business, you want the court to give you all the money, how can there be such a good thing!
”"If I were them or their ancestors, I should have used the large amount of silver I earned from selling raw silk and cotton cloth to Xiyi to hire craftsmen, research and develop technology, build warships, and go outside to expand the territory; No, he only knows how to annex the land in the country with silver, and forces the compatriots in the country to be their own tenant farmers, trapping them with the law of clan covenant and rituals, and only thinking about collecting rents for generations to come!
and even prevented the imperial court from opening the sea for this reason, in order to tie the common people to the land and cultivate the land for themselves. ”At this time, Wu Nandai wanted to refute.Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand to stop him, and said: "Don't say that the imperial court has dragged you down, what kind of military expenditure on the nine sides is too large, and the expenses of the royal family and nobles are too large, I admit that these are a big burden, but you ask yourself, before the increase in commercial taxes and the abolition of preferential exemptions for officials and gentry, are you bearing these burdens?"
In short, why is this result, you should reflect on yourself, to reflect on what you have done wrong, instead of just knowing the fault of the court and forcing the court to give you benefits, and the court is not just your court!
”"Please give me advice, Your Majesty!
Why did the private businessmen never really become the mainstay of the society, but have been suppressed by the powerful bureaucrats, and what went wrong with them?
”At this time, a scholar named Zhang Daodi stood up and replied."
You seem to be a little bit of a true scholar among these scholars!"
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao replied, and said, "Since this is the case, then I will say a few more words." ”(
