Zhu Zhanzhen's idea made Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Zhanji, and Chen Xuan stunned. It can be said that they were dumbfounded.
This is a conspiracy. What is Hong Guoguo using in his conspiracy?
It is people's vanity, people's desire for fame and fortune, and it is the respect and fame that businessmen in this era cannot buy with money.
"Your Highness, this matter may need to be discussed." Chen Xuan said cautiously.
Zhu Gaochi also looked sad after thinking about it. Changes don't happen so quickly. People here have never heard of these things, and they don't know what the effects will be.
"I think we can give it a try." Zhu Zhanji gave his idea.
After careful consideration, Zhu Gaochi said: "I have to talk to His Majesty about this matter first. If we really want to vigorously encourage business and banks open small low-interest loans to encourage ordinary people to do business, then it is necessary for the imperial court to make a gesture and commend businessmen. I'm just afraid that
Too many farming people follow the trend and go into business, which is not good."
The princes of this era were most concerned about the farming people, who were the foundation of the country.
In Zhu Gaochi's mind, anything that might threaten farming must be done with great caution.
Food is the most important thing for the people. This is not the case in China in the 21st century when food is abundant. Once a disaster occurs, crop failure will become a major problem for the people's livelihood.
China in the 21st century is actually the same. People are afraid of poverty and hunger. Even when food is abundant, the food reserves in various places are basically full to prepare for emergencies. Because no one needs to go hungry, so we are concerned about this.
There are just few people.
The development of Ming Dynasty needs to take national productivity as the main line, and everything is to assist the improvement of productivity.
After this day's discussion, several people had a lot of opinions, but if they could really be implemented, they would have to be approved by the emperor. The prince would hand it over to the emperor tonight after he had drawn up the plan.
Chen Xuan and Zhu Zhanchen left, leaving Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Gaochi behind.
After the confirmation person left, Zhu Zhanji said: "Father, some of Zhan's suggestions and ideas are really too advanced and even a bit unrealistic."
"His mind is quick, and every time he comes up with opinions we have never heard of them. Some of them are good and can be used, and some are difficult to implement. As the brother, you have to help him, and the two of you will implement the ones that can be used.
, this is the best.”
"My son understands."
"By the way, how's the bank doing lately?"
"Everything is going well, and the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China can open for business soon. Just as my father said, low-interest loans will be issued to small traders with good reputations to promote business. The loans will be guaranteed by village elders or clan heads, and the interest rates will be very low."
"Well, the brochure from the Ministry of Accounts says that outside banks have issued fixed deposits with a term of more than ten years. This is a bank study, but banks only have fixed deposits with a maximum period of five years. They have a fixed term of twenty years. Do you think this is the case?
Something went wrong."
Zhu Zhanji hesitated to speak, and thought for a while before saying: "There are some concerns, but it shouldn't be a big problem."
"Well, that's good. I'll go see His Majesty later and I'll have a good talk with Your Majesty tonight about your Majesty's approach of donating memorial arches to large taxpayers."
"This method..." Zhu Zhanji sighed.
After Zhu Gaochi thought about this opinion carefully, he still felt that he had to do it: "Form is one thing. Zhan Yu is right in saying that the status of businessmen must be improved. If everyone looks down on businessmen, only those Jiangnan gentry will occupy the monopoly and become businessmen, or
If those common people who cheat and cheat become businessmen, then commerce will not develop. We must let those who are honest and reliable do business."
"Since we want to develop commerce, we must let people know that being a businessman is not just a matter of speculation."
"Listen to your father's arrangements."
After leaving, Chen Xuan and Zhu Zhanzhen stopped at the entrance of the hospital: "Mr. Chen, if I have time, I still want to visit those villages."
"Your Majesty, Fifth Prince, with the permission of the Crown Prince and His Majesty, I can take you there."
"Okay, I'll talk to my father and Grandpa Huang myself."
It was already late at night when he returned to the courtyard. Zhu Zhanzhen had not returned to the courtyard so late for a long time. There was no TV in the Ming Dynasty. He usually went to bed very early, and he found that he, who was the little prince who stayed up late, was now very lethargic.
Zhu Zhanzhen, who returned to his room, suddenly stopped being sleepy today. After discussing things today, he came up with an idea, which was about giving honors to businessmen. He thought of the Forbes wealth list, where the richest people in modern times were on the list one by one.
That's all fame and honor.
If you want to start a newspaper in Ming Dynasty, there seems to be a way to do it.
Moreover, newspapers are not as difficult to make as steam engines. Even if the quality of the paper is poor, it can still be made if it is forced to be made.
"Chu'er."
"Your Highness." Chu'er replied softly.
"Chu'er, how do you usually learn about new things?"
"Sang Yu is well-informed. When she has nothing to do, she will tell me some new news. It is passed on by word of mouth. Many of them are just lies."
"Go and call Sang Yu."
"Ah?" Chu'er was stunned. She called the two palace maids in tonight. She didn't know what her Highness wanted to do.
Sang Yu walked in. It was dim in the night, and the shyness of the two of them could not be seen.
Why did His Highness call the two maids in at this time? I thought that His Highness really wanted it and spread it by word of mouth.
"Sang Yu, it is said that you are well-informed. Tell me how this information came about."
Sang Yu thought he was going to reprimand her and said: "Your Highness, Sang Yu talks too much. Sang Yu shouldn't..."
"Hey wait a minute, I don't mean to scold you, just answer truthfully."
Sang Yu calmed down and said, "Your Highness, the eunuchs in the palace are responsible for delivering edicts, and some are also responsible for delivering documents, as well as newspapers from various places. Sometimes they secretly see some and tell them in chat. In the palace,
There will be some fresh news."
"Di Bao," Zhu Zhanchen said to himself. Di Bao was actually the earliest prototype of a newspaper. Officials from various places reported matters to the central government through Di Bao, which was only for the emperor and the cabinet to see.
Record whether there are natural disasters in various places, whether support from the central government is needed, whether there is any rebellion, no banditry, etc. If there is nothing in the near future, I will write a long paragraph of flattery praising virtues and peace in the world to deal with the problem.
There are only some miscellaneous news and rumors in folk affairs, and there are no newspapers. Although electronic media has largely replaced traditional media in the era when Zhu Zhanzhen lived, paper media has occupied information channels for hundreds of years.
The media can serve as an information propaganda channel for the court.
Chinese culture must have formal and good publicity channels, so that everyone can feel the power contained in the culture.
In the modern world, at that time, foreign countries used the media to promote the theory of China's threat and controlled public opinion to criticize us verbally and writing. To this day, they have never stopped slandering China. Their intentions are sinister and their actions are vicious. However, some Chinese people who do not know it still feel that
What they said is right.
We must know that it is also very important to promote the culture to the people. The origin of Chinese culture has been passed down, which is the foundation of the entire nation. Only by promoting Chinese culture can the entire nation be united.
If foreign cultures are allowed to invade and promote other countries' cultures to people, over time the culture will fall apart, the nation's self-confidence will collapse, and when war comes, traitors will appear in large numbers.
There are two types of traitors: committing adultery and committing adultery.
Those who committed crimes, such as Qin Hui, Wang Jingwei, and those who led the Japanese army, betrayed their own nation either to survive or for personal gain. Those in high positions were traitors, but they actually knew what they were doing from the bottom of their hearts.
It is wrong. He is just a person who disregards all ethics and morals for personal interests, sells his country for glory, and has no bottom line of principles.
He is a wicked person who has no father, no mother, and no country.
Those who endure cultural invasion from other countries are those who identify with the culture of other countries from the bottom of their hearts, constantly attack the culture of their own nation, cheer for other countries, belittle and demonize their own culture, and these people feel from the bottom of their hearts that what they are doing is right and just.
Yes, you can't wake them up or scold them. If these people are allowed to hold high positions, they will continue to find ways to destroy the cultural heritage of their nation.
He is a fool who has no father, no mother and no country.
Culture is the firewall of a nation. If this wall collapses, the nation will have no defense against the crazy ravages from foreign nations.
They will steal our culture, burn down the courtyards and high-rise buildings built by our ancestors, take away our surnames, slander our heroes, let our children speak their language, learn their culture, and let their children become the ones who do not know what they are deep in their hearts.
Foreigners who identify with our culture.
Those who possess Chinese culture are Chinese people.
Cultural invasion is killing without blood, but it spreads the smell of blood to every corner.
In cultural promotion and children’s education, our own national culture must be given top priority.
Zhu Zhanzhen wants to prevent cultural invasion from now on and promote his own national culture. He must let the officials and literati of the Ming Dynasty develop the habit of reading newspapers first. The current literacy rate of the people is not enough, so he must start with the literati ministers.
Thinking of this, Zhu Zhanzhen made up his mind to found a newspaper tonight and establish the media and cultural department of the Ming Dynasty. Although I am naive, I am willing to do my best to perpetuate the Chinese cultural heritage.
