Chapter 610: The Tiger Returns to the Mountain
The big ceremony incident broke out!
In fact, this ceremony was supposed to have broken out long ago. In history, Jiajing led to a major ceremony in order to honor the emperor's examination.
However, at that time, the Emperor's Examination was just a so-called dispute over etiquette, but in fact it was a power struggle between the new emperor and the cabinet bachelor.
It was only because of Xu Qian's appearance that the emperor's rights were gradually consolidated, especially the inner treasury in the palace mastered the financial power, which gradually eased the contradictions. The emperor no longer had to establish his majesty on this, and naturally, this matter ended in vain.
Now, this new ritual discussion has suddenly reached its climax, and the background of the ritual discussion is the biggest fundamental conflict of interest at present, representing Wang Xue, an emerging interest group in Jiangnan, and the Neo-Confucianism of the old landlord class.
After urging official grains to pay, the conflict between the two sides has reached the point of equal power.
Since there is a conflict, there must be a reason, and now, there are reasons.
Yang Shen had a good start, and then countless officials jumped into the pit without hesitation, with the wide range of involvement and unprecedented success.
From the capital to the local government, countless memorials were like spring rain. Things in the world seemed to be no more important than this dispute over rituals. Everyone continued to inspire the dispute over rituals in the Confucius Temple in Nanjing.
Defend, attack each other.
Of course this is just the beginning, and no one intends to end.
The emperor obviously did not care about this fierce fight. On the contrary, it seemed that recently, no one was in the mood to care about his cultivation of immortality. In the past, people always wrote letters to advise him, but now it seems that they are gone.
This instead gave Jiajing a feeling of relief, and he felt that his wisdom bead was holding. Think about it, it was his idea to use Wang Xue to check and balance Neo-Confucianism. Now, there is a struggle for learning, and everyone is fighting each other.
His attitude of the emperor became particularly important, even Yang Tinghe treated himself more and more respectfully. After all, the cabinet was also afraid, and he was afraid that at this time, if the emperor stood up and strongly supported Wang Xue, then the whole school would be
The power of struggle will be immediately unbalanced and even have catastrophic consequences.
Therefore, Yang Tinghe must stabilize the emperor and must not let the emperor support Wang Xue. Since he wants to stabilize, he must take practical actions. On the one hand, he began to discuss some important matters with the emperor calmly, and even deal with many things.
, and he was able to listen to the emperor's opinions very respectfully.
As for the emperor cultivating immortals, or envoys or palaces, he can only be invisible. If it were in the past, even if Yang Tinghe didn't say anything, he would have to inform the censors quietly and let the censors impeach him, but now,
But he has been avoiding such a thing. Because he knows Jiajing's character too well. What Jiajing belongs to you is yours. As long as he doesn't disturb him, he will choose to deal with you with an indifferent attitude.
You want to fight, you can fight, but if anyone dares to interfere in the emperor, don’t blame the emperor for being so careless.
Yang Tinghe's method was right, and his method was right in Jiajing's appetite. Because Jiajing felt that his goal had been achieved, the court officials were once again played with applause. This feeling was quite good. This made Jiajing's
The cause of cultivating immortals has also made great progress.
As a result, the palace ignored the need to ask about impeachment and allowed the memorials to accumulate like mountains, while the entire capital and even the whole country were always around a topic, shouting and scolding each other, and tens of thousands of people were involved, even from various departments.
The Shangshu couldn't help but go barefoot. Everyone was racking their brains to use new theories to attack their opponents.
The debate not only involves the temple, but also goes deep into the wide range of folks. Students from fellow villagers may turn over the table because of disagreement. At the poetry meeting, some people even speak ill of each other, and even different voices appear in the Imperial College.
It's so fussy.
I have to say that such a debate has helped promote Wang Xue, which has enabled Wang Xue to reach the height of Neo-Confucianism for the first time. In this era, the role of publicity is limited after all. A Ming Pao can only stick to several relatively small things in Jiangnan for the time being.
The wealthy provinces were at most circulated in the prefectures. Now, even the students in the countryside gradually remembered Wang Xue and understood Wang Xue's proposition through various relationships.
Yang Shen is a very smart person. Ming Pao began to open in the capital and began to sell it. At the same time, Yang Shen personally organized a newspaper to publish a view of Neo-Confucianism. With official support, the sales of this newspaper were also
It is amazing, especially in Jiangbei and the capital, which has vaguely gained the upper hand of Mingpao.
As a result, debate began to emerge in many forms, including memorials and gatherings. Nowadays, there are newspapers. Recently, there are widely used printing technology. In order to reduce costs, printing workshops have been competing for many processes.
The price of newspapers is getting lower and lower, and the printing of newspapers is becoming easier and easier. Newspapers are no longer just luxury goods, and even a few copper plates can get one. Even ordinary craftsmen and small businessmen,
Can be purchased easily!
Since the emperor doesn't care, it's no point in using memorials to attack each other. No matter how much you impeach, you can't impeach the other party. If you have this mood, it's better to put your mind into the newspaper that spreads it more widely.
The newspapers are gradually gaining popularity, and in the capital, Zhao Mengting has already set up the airing of the capital Ming Pao, and its daily sales are also considerable.
Xu Qian had no time to worry about this debate. When he arrived in Hangzhou, officials from all over Zhejiang arrived at the dock to welcome the Futai Lord.
Xu Qian got off the boat and greeted everyone, like a spring breeze, which made people flattered.
However, there was no one coming from the Governor's Office, and there was no one. Logically, Xu Qian was also one of the important figures in Zhejiang. Although Fang Xianfu was not convenient for him to come, he should have a friend from the squad to come to greet him, but this Governor Fang,
Obviously I don't want to join in the fun.
Those who are interested can naturally see that the relationship between the platform and the platform seems to be very rigid.
However, Xu Qian didn't mind. Under the storm of everyone, he returned to the governor's headquarters.
Immediately afterwards, a meeting was held.
The people here are naturally Xu Qian’s confidants and important figures in the entire Hangzhou and even Zhejiang.
These people are already devoted to Xu Qian and are unquestionable for their loyalty.
Everyone closed the door, so naturally they didn't take any turns.
The governor Zhao Mingxian briefly introduced the recent situation of Zhejiang's governance.
Let’s start with the projects everywhere. Since the main rivers were widened in the early stage and the silt was cleaned up and the transportation in the entire Zhejiang became more convenient. Whether it was commercial or other activities, it began to become frequent. Therefore, various places began to
New river projects have been launched one after another. After all, some counties do not have the main river channels at all. Since this is the case, it is necessary to dig the canal. Digging the canal is a major project. Even if the Money and Grain Bureau has some money, it is still a matter of this kind of project.
I had to be very careful, but I still approved many projects.
In addition, it is the problem that various counties have recruited workshops. As demand for goods from overseas and even the court and even the people has begun to increase, there are three types of demand here. One is the Sea Road Pacification Envoy Department and the Sea Road Pacification Envoy Department.
The scale of trade has been expanding, and it is no longer a simple trade in silk and porcelain. After some merchants sold Ming Dynasty cloth, iron and other goods in the feudal states, they found that the sales were good. Although the profit was not as good as silk and porcelain,
There is still a lot of profit margin, so they began to buy a large number of various products from the Ming Dynasty.
Another demand is that the court's movement of troops against the desert. Once the troops are activated, it will consume countless amounts. Many times, the court's supply is insufficient. The generals in the border town also like merchants to supply goods. After all, merchants have rebates for supply.
, and the court gave all the physical goods. Even if you deduct them, you not only risk beheading, but also have to sell these physical goods at a low price. Therefore, the generals are looking for various imports.
Ask for money from the court, then customize various goods to supply the army's expenses.
As for another demand, it is private consumption. A large number of people enter the city and it is impossible to return to the life of men farming and women weaving. In recent years, more than millions of people have begun to exist in Zhejiang, Tianjin and the capital.
Become a craftsman, apprentice and laborer in the city. These people have monthly salary and a certain consumption capacity. They can no longer rely on self-sufficiency to replenish supplies. If they want to meet their needs, they must consume.
For example, the demand for cloth has increased dozens of times compared to before. In the past, people who bought cloth often had only some rich peasants and landlords, and a very small number of medium-sized families, while ordinary families often textile and make coarse cloth themselves.
But now, women's labor has become precious. For example, the textile workshop only recruits female workers, and is managed by women. Their wages are also not low. These people can no longer go home for their husbands and
Children weave cloth and sew clothes, so ordinary craftsmen, apprentices and even labourers, and their feet also began to buy cloth.
Some people even sew clothes and knitting shoes into luxury. After all, time is limited. In the city, the pace of life is often much faster than in the countryside. Therefore, various ready-to-wear and various styles of shoes have become popular.
, Another emerging industry was born - the production of ready-to-wear.
