Among the lecturers present, except for Yu Chengxun who did not show any rejection of Zhu Hao's lectures, the others frowned.
The absurd theory was stated in front of the emperor, and the monarchs and ministers still discussed it in a decent manner, and even proposed to use money to bribe the people of the world and willingly sacrifice their lives for the imperial court!?
Please, in the traditional etiquette of Confucianism, we have always emphasized "the king of heaven and earth, relatives and teachers", and the main purpose is to be loyal to the emperor and patriotic.
Even though we all receive salaries, we must never take the initiative to withdraw money!
Zhu Si asked: "Well, Zhu Hanlin, the court has no money now, how should we save it?"
These words seemed to be a irritation to Zhu Hao.
Don't talk so nicely, money can calm people's hearts.
The problem is that the imperial court has no money. Now even to repair the imperial palace, everyone in the imperial court is crying about poverty. I also know that money can be used easily. You must come up with a practical way to make money, right?
"Your Majesty, this topic should be brought to an end. The king should not care about fame and fortune."
Shi Yun came out again to give advice.
Zhu Siyi waved his hand: "Scholar Shi, I also know that we should not talk about money. This is unbecoming of a gentleman. But the question is... is there any matter discussed in the court that is not related to money?"
"Governing the world, to put it bluntly, doesn't it all depend on the supply of the treasury? Border defense, rivers, and people's livelihood are all places where money is spent. Salt administration, taxation, and official land are all places where money is made... Taken together, it forms
I don’t understand why you are so repulsive when Zhu Hanlin mentions money issues?"
"minister……"
Shi Yun didn't know what to say.
In the court, money is indeed discussed most of the time. It seems that the Ming Dynasty court is a vegetable market and a place for bargaining.
But in the minds of literati, the court should not be a place where money and money must be compared. The place has good weather and no disasters. The seas and rivers are clear. Everyone obeys filial piety and etiquette and never does anything rebellious. The foreign barbarians all surrender to the Central Plains.
The rule of the dynasty will never compromise...
But that is always an ideal society, but the reality is that money is mentioned in the court all the time.
Zhu Si looked at Zhu Hao: "Zhu Qing's family, you don't need to stop, continue to express your thoughts."
Zhu Haodao: "I am a Confucian scholar who doesn't know much about how to make money. What I said is based on what I know about the current situation among the people."
You still don’t understand?
Is there anyone in the world who can make more money than you?
Both Zhu Si and Zhang Zuo looked at Zhu Hao with smiles, as if to say, you are so humble. The little money we have is all earned by you. You actually say you don't know how?
Zhu Siyi waved his hand: "But it doesn't matter."
"I obey the decree."
In front of his colleagues in the Hanlin Academy, Zhu Hao spoke eloquently, "For an ordinary family, if they want to live a stable life, they must have a solid family background. The so-called poor and humble couples have nothing to worry about. Only when the family resources are sufficient to provide for food and clothing can a family enter a relatively harmonious state.
status. To accumulate wealth, there are no more than two points, one is to increase revenue and the other is to reduce expenditure."
Zhu Si nodded and stroked his chin, seeming to be deep in thought.
Zhu Hao said: "In the past few years, the Ming Dynasty has always focused on reducing expenditures. There were originally 100,000 taels of local expenses. If we save, we can still cope with 70,000 to 80,000 taels. For the river construction, we should have allocated 200,000 taels of silver."
Save ten thousand taels and transfer a few hundred thousand taels, and let the local government make up the rest..."
Zhu Si smiled and said: "This is normal. It's normal for the court to be short of money. Whose accounts don't have any holes or something?"
Zhu Hao nodded and said: "But the problem is that even in ordinary people, relying on frugality to enrich their family will still bring a lot of troubles. Husband and wife, father and son, brothers quarrel, and family disharmony. The main reason is that frugality will affect the quality of life.
…The imperial court’s cost-cutting also brought local instability, affecting the lives of its subjects from top to bottom!”
"The words of Zhu Qing's family have touched my heart, and I feel the same way... I want to cut down on expenditures, or deduct various arrangements, or let the soldiers barely survive, and now the generals of the Northwest Army have been in arrears with their pay for several years.
We have not been able to issue it. Many military households have been unable to survive and have to sell off their weapons to survive. I
Hearing it in my ears, I am anxious in my heart."
Zhu Si looked very emotional, "So Zhen believes that open source is more important. But... the question is... what kind of open source law?"
Zhu Hao spread his hands: "I don't know."
Another answer that made everyone present almost vomit blood.
Yu Chengxun saw that Zhu Si and Zhu Hao were asking and answering questions, and they seemed to have a tacit understanding. He thought there was some kind of friendship between the two teenagers, and was about to stop Zhu Hao from continuing, but Zhu Hao said "I don't know."
, forcefully brought Yu Chengxun back to reality.
yes.
The purpose of Zhu Hao's lecture today was to be responsible for choking the new emperor, and he did not really teach the new emperor the principles of governing the country and ensuring peace. What was he afraid of?
Zhu Si blushed, pointed at Zhu Hao and said, "Zhu Jingdao, are you trying to make fun of me? You've been talking to me for so long, but you tell me you don't know. Do you believe it or not..."
Just as he was about to make a threat, he looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him with strange eyes. Zhu Si seemed to feel that it was unbecoming of an emperor, so he remained silent and just stared angrily.
Zhu Hao saw Zhu Si's angry little look and thought to himself, it seems that your acting skills have improved, and those who didn't know better thought you were angry.
Zhu Haodao: "Open source is a very real problem. It cannot be solved by one person overnight. I just think that in the future, the court can ask all ministers to provide suggestions and suggestions, and choose the best suggestions to completely solve the court's financial problems.
Difficulties, rather than relying on my whims and nonsense. If your Majesty insists on asking me for countermeasures, there is only one thing I can say..."
Everyone was interested.
Even Zhu Si and Zhang Zuo were very interested and looked at Zhu Hao with sharp eyes, because this was no longer a line they had spoken to before. Maybe Zhu Hao really had some money-making tricks?
Unexpectedly, when everyone was looking at Zhu Hao intently, Zhu Hao stopped talking.
Zhu Si frowned: "Isn't it a little bit? Hurry up and say it!"
Zhu Hao did not answer, but looked at Shi Yuan aside: "Scholar Shi, can you please tell me?"
Shi Yuan was puzzled by the question.
When you said these outrageous things before, why didn't you ask me for my opinion? Now you have aroused everyone's curiosity and actually asked me if I could say it?
You kid... you have ulterior motives!
See if I don't talk to Old Liu after I get back and let him know what kind of person Zhu Hao he admires.
"you say!"
Shi Yun couldn't help the curiosity in his heart, waved his hands and said,
Zhu Hao replied seriously: "Bring out the old and bring forth the new."
"oh."
Zhu Si nodded, then his eyes widened, "What?"
Zhang Zuo asked hurriedly: "Zhu Hanlin, can you explain more clearly how to introduce new methods from the old?"
Zhu Haodao: "How can we make a detailed statement about this? To bring forth the new from the old is actually to break the old rules and let some new things come out. If everything is done step by step, how can we start talking about open source? "
"Open source means to do things that no one before us has done, to do things that others have not dared to think of. Just like what I said today, if everything goes according to plan...who would say this in front of His Majesty?"
Even though Zhu Hao's words were still fallacies, Wen Renhe, who was standing aside, couldn't help but nodded repeatedly, seeming to be touched.
Mu Konghui looked at Wen Renhe curiously, how could you be persuaded by this guy in just a few words? He is obviously talking nonsense.
Wen Renhe reacted, smiled helplessly, and continued to remain silent, wanting to hear if Zhu Hao had any other "high opinions."
Zhu Si looked very dissatisfied, and the muscles on his face twitched a few times, and then said: "This is the truth, but now there is a lot of resistance from the government to the old affairs. I want to sell a mining kiln, but I am blocked by life!
Now I want to open more mines..."
"What should I say? Zhu Jingdao, everything you said sounds reasonable, but after listening to it, it makes people feel as if they have never heard anything... You are clearly fooling me."
Zhu Hao arched his hands.
I mean, if others fool you more, why don’t you take advantage of them?
bother?
The monarch and his ministers had previously performed a double act and discussed the national economy and people's livelihood, but now the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
"Okay, that's it for today. I don't want to hear it anymore. I'll continue in two days..."
After Zhu Si listened to Zhu Hao's lecture, he didn't want to listen to anyone else.
Originally I was just making up lessons for myself, but after listening to what Zhu Hao said, why should I still listen to those rotten scholars?
"Your Majesty, today's lecture is not over yet."
Shi Yue came out of the queue.
Zhu Siyi waved his hand: "But after listening to Zhu Hao's words, I have long been full and angry... Do you think I can still listen to what others say... Zhu Hao, come here, I have something to ask alone.
you!"
Zhu Hao was then called to the side hall of the Wenhua Palace by Zhu Si, as if he wanted to raise an army to investigate.
…
…
The lecture ends.
After leaving the palace with Zhu Hao and returning to the Hanlin Academy, Yu Chengxun immediately found Yang Shen and told everything he had seen and heard in the palace.
"What are you talking about? Jingdao didn't teach according to the lecture notes I gave him? Did he make his own decision?"
Yang Shen was surprised.
Zhu Hao's move was simply an attempt to rebel.
Yu Chengxun smiled and said: "What he said is much more exciting than your presentation."
After Yu Chengxun briefly recounted the conversation between Zhu Hao and Zhu Si, Yang Shen's expression improved slightly.
But Yang Shen was still a little wary, as if he felt something was wrong.
"But the strange thing is that after the day lecture, His Majesty called Jingdao to the side hall alone. It was a long time before Jingdao came out and came out of the palace with us. When asked about his situation, he said that Your Majesty didn't say anything inside and just let him
I stood there in vain for nearly an hour."
Yu Chengxun didn't believe Zhu Hao's words at all.
He felt that the first thing was that Zhu Hao didn't want to tell anyone what the new emperor had said to Zhu Hao, so he blamed the emperor for letting him go in and stand for punishment.
After hearing this, Yang Shen felt relieved and nodded: "That's right. His Majesty was very dissatisfied with Jingdao and took the opportunity to call him in and impose corporal punishment."
"Is it really... punishment?"
Yu Chengxun didn't quite understand.
Little Emperor Dou is summoned alone, is everything going to be okay?
Yang Shen sighed: "This new emperor does not follow the rules and often behaves randomly. Zhu Hao's move is actually to amuse him. He should have heard it and simply called Zhu Hao in to confuse the public and make outsiders think that he
They are from the new emperor's lineage, and they are planning to alienate each other... If we really think so, then Zhu Hao's future will be completely over!"
