Chapter 283 Zheng Guoben (Twenty) Like Tathagata

For non-Chinese citizens, the tax rate will increase progressively based on the land area, shops, factories and other wealth they own.

This move is obviously Gao's pragmatic plan to promote the naturalized household registration system that has been experimented in southern Xinjiang for many years in North Korea. However, judging from his description just now, if the southern Xinjiang version is a deluxe version of this system, the supreme version

, then the North Korean version can only be considered a basic version, or even a beggar’s version.

This is not because he is pragmatic and is unwilling to copy the complete naturalized household registration system directly to North Korea, but because he believes that it will be difficult for North Korea to implement this system to the same extent as in southern Xinjiang.

It’s not that I don’t want to, but I really can’t.

What kind of system should be implemented in southern Xinjiang is something that he can decide with a single word based on his high pragmatism. The basis for this decision is the six major garrison troops in southern Xinjiang with more than 300,000 people and the "thousands of sails covering the sea" Nanyang Fleet.

In addition, there are even about 200,000 servants from the countries in Southern Xinjiang. The total land army alone is at least 500,000. And as we all know, in addition to these large armies in Southern Xinjiang, he has

, there are still a large number of armed servants in the country.

Although Gao Pragmatic has never thought about deploying troops from the country to southern Xinjiang, the countries in southern Xinjiang do not know this. They have always believed that these armed servants in the Ming Dynasty can be deployed at will. Of course, this illusion itself is also Jinghua's

Caused intentionally.

To put it simply, Gao Jingjing's unwavering commitment to southern Xinjiang comes from absolute strength and absolute control of these strengths - don't forget that the major garrison forces in southern Xinjiang have no financial power, no logistics dispatch chain, and no

Personnel autonomy, all these related powers are firmly in the hands of Gao Pragmatic.

In addition, military chiefs at all levels in southern Xinjiang must rotate their posts regularly, which further strengthens the concentration of power.

As for the navy, it goes without saying that the Nanyang Fleet itself is already known as "a thousand sails covering the sea". In fact, the strength of the Nanyang Fleet has never been limited to the Nanyang Fleet itself. It can also call on many armed merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty's southern merchants to "conquer the sea".

”.

If a war really breaks out, although these maritime merchants do not have the number of pure warships that serve as the main force of the Nanyang Fleet, in terms of total tonnage and total number of artillery, their addition can completely realize the Nanyang War.

The number of combat units in the fleet doubled in a short period of time.

If it weren't for such a powerful force, would the Spanish-Portuguese Empire be so easy to talk to and even be forced to give up an important geopolitical key like Malacca? Of course, there is a prerequisite for the Portuguese to give up Malacca, which is the Spanish Navy's naval battle in Manila.

Lose in the big game and lose in the big game.

In short, Gao Pinggong's strong strength in southern Xinjiang is the basis for him to stick to his word and follow his words, but in North Korea, he cannot do these things.

By aiding Korea in the anti-Japanese war, North Korea now absolutely respects the national strength of the Ming Dynasty, but it is highly pragmatic and cannot control the Ming Dynasty like it controls southern Xinjiang. The strength of the Ming Dynasty may not necessarily support the rapid implementation of its system. After all,

The state machinery of the Ming Dynasty has been in use for two hundred years and is not running as well as in southern Xinjiang.

In southern Xinjiang, things that can be implemented immediately with a pragmatic order may take half a year in the Ming Dynasty just to argue at the court level, and another half year to coordinate and prepare at the local level. If you encounter resistance in the middle of the implementation, you may have to do it again.

Discussion...So no matter what, for decision-makers, the difficulty of implementation must be fully considered in advance.

If you look at Gao Jingjing's behavior in southern Xinjiang and in the Ming Dynasty over the years, you can see the difference: many of his policies for southern Xinjiang are implemented in one step, while the policies given in the Ming Dynasty are often divided into several steps.

, each time only propose one step first, and then plan the next step after completing this step. The entire plan can only be implemented step by step, and never make any rash progress.

They are all policies given by Gao Pragmatic. Of course, there is no possibility that his own level will be high or low. In fact, this difference comes from the different situations on both sides. To a certain extent, southern Xinjiang is a blank sheet of paper for painting, and

The Ming Dynasty is a masterpiece, and simple repairs and modifications involve all aspects, so how can you dare to make random changes with a stroke of a pen?

Even so, Wang Jiaping was amazed after hearing Gao Pragmatic's idea and called it a serial plan.

As he just said, the three steps of high pragmatism are actually divided into three sets of solutions for the government, academia, and the people. It seems that each is responsible for its own share, but in fact the three sets of solutions are related, and the purpose

It is even more clear, that is to win people's hearts.

How to win people's hearts? The three sets of high-pragmatic plans actually make it very clear: deterrence, clear future, and benefits.

Of course, you are afraid of being beaten, and you are pursuing your future and seeking benefits. This naturally has a prerequisite, and the prerequisite is... follow me obediently.

Wang Jiaping praised him, being pragmatic and humble as usual, but unexpectedly, Wang Jiaping seemed to suddenly think of something and began to ponder, as if he was recalling something.

Gao Pingshi waited until his frown relaxed, then asked appropriately: "Did Yuan Fu think of any omissions in this strategy?"

"That's not true. I was thinking of a senior." Wang Jiaping looked nostalgic.

Gao pragmatic asked: "May I ask who the senior is?"

"Former Prime Minister Li Xinghua Gong." Wang Jiaping replied.

You may not be used to this term Li Xinghua, but if you say Li Shilu, everyone is more familiar with it, and if you call him by his first name, Li Chunfang, everyone must know it - he was born as the number one scholar in the 26th year of Jiajing, and was once scolded by Hai Rui

As an old woman, she was the chief assistant before Gao Gong.

Gao Pragmatic really couldn't understand why Wang Jiaping thought of Li Chunfang at this time, and couldn't help but look surprised. Wang Jiaping said with a smile: "Xinghua Gong had a long-term friend, whose surname was Wu, whose given name was Chengen, whose courtesy name was Ruzhong, and who married Hongzhi's family.

The great-granddaughter of Ye Qi, Minister of the Ministry of Finance, is married, does Rixin know about this person?"

"Ah?" Gao Pingshi was stunned for a moment and said, "Wu Ruzhong? I have never heard of this... Wait, Wu Cheng'en?"

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Gao Pingshi's eyes widened and he asked: "Is it "Journey to the West"... Oh no, the author of "Journey to the West"?"

Wang Jiaping said with a smile: "Nixin was also a candidate for the gold medal back then. I didn't expect that he had also read "Journey to the West". Haha, that would be even more coincidental."

Gao Pinggong said sincerely: Not only have I read it, I started reading it in the fourth grade of elementary school, and I also read it directly from the original version! In order to read this book, I tore through a dictionary at home.

However, even if I have read it, where is the "coincidence"?

Wang Jiaping said with a smile: "You just said that Wu Ruzhong is the author of "Journey to the West". You are right, but you are wrong."

"Why is this?" Gao Pragmatic thought for a while and suddenly said: "Yes, many of these stories are compiled and adapted from folk. Wu Cheng...Wu Ruzhong may be more like a collection of masterpieces in Yuan Fu's view.

Editor, is this what you mean?"

"That's not what I meant, but this book should actually be said to be co-authored by Wu Ruzhong and Xinghua Gong. It's just that Wu Ruzhong failed to pass the test for a long time, but Xinghua Gong later became the first assistant.

Haha, let me ask you, if you, Gao Rixin, were interested in writing a book about legends and monsters, would you be willing to put your name as the number one scholar in six poems on it? The same is true for Xinghua Gong, most of "The Legend of Shie on Journey to the West"

Although the stories were co-written by the two of them over many years of interaction, after all, the final collection of the book was written by Wu Ruzhong, and Xinghua Gong never wanted to take away the title of Wu Sheng's work."

So is this what happened? Gao Pinggong said sincerely: In the past, some people suspected that Wu Chengen was not the author of Journey to the West, and thought that the real author was Li Chunfang, but they did not expect that both statements were inaccurate, and the book was actually co-authored? But, why did Wang Jiaping

Do you know? How come Wu Chengen and Li Chunfang are old friends?

Gao pragmatic then asked Wang Jiaping, Wang Jiaping said with a smile: "Rixin is young after all. Bo Gaowen Zhenggong must know these things."

Uh... Gao Pragmatic had to smile bitterly and not answer. Wang Jiaping didn't mean to make fun of him. He reached out and patted his arm to show comfort, and continued: "It's a long story. Now that time is limited, I will briefly describe it.

."

According to Wang Jiaping, Li Chunfang and Wu Chengen got to know each other very early, and they were good friends when they were still commoners. Later, at a critical moment in Wu Chengen's life, Li Chunfang once again extended a helping hand, which can be regarded as creating the inspiration for Wu Chengen's final draft of "Journey to the West".

environment.

Speaking of which, the relationship between the two lasted for three to forty years, extending from their youth to their old age. Their friendship was pure and sincere, and did not involve status, money, or interests. It could be called the best friend among literati.

Wu Cheng'en was from Huai'an and had a reputation for talent in his early years. He was known as a child prodigy in the local area. He entered school at the age of about sixteen or seven, but later he struggled step by step. By the time he met Li Chunfang in Jiajing for about 20 years, he was already thirty-five years old and still had no talent.

Hit the mark.

In the 29th year of the Jiajing reign, Wu Chengen gave up the imperial examination and entered the tribute service at the age of 44. He went to Beijing for the election that year, but failed for some reason (his son died young). Later, he was enrolled in the Nanjing Imperial College to study. In the 43rd year of the Jiajing reign, he was still under the supervision of Li Chunfang.

"Dun Yu" went to Beijing again - at that time Li Chunfang was the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel with the title of Minister of Rites.

The word "Dun Yu" is very interesting, because it means "to urge". At this time, Li Chunfang had already entered the ranks of high-ranking officials in the imperial court, but Wu Chengen was still in vain. Li Chunfang actually took the initiative to urge Wu Chengen to come to Beijing to become an official, which shows the friendship between the two.

Very shallow.

In the forty-fifth year of Jiajing, he served as the magistrate of Changxing County, Zhejiang Province with the help of Li Chunfang; in the first year of Longqing, he was involved in a somewhat suspicious corruption case. By this time, Li Chunfang's status in the court had been stable, especially after Xu Jie became an official, Li Chunfang was still smooth

Taking over as the first assistant, Wu Chengen was also awarded the post of Ji Shan in Prince Jing's Mansion in Qizhou, Hubei the following year.

In the fourth year of Longqing's reign, Wu Cheng'en returned to his hometown after completing his term of office - this is a nice way of saying it. In fact, Li Chunfang felt that she had blocked Gao Gong's path at this time, and she would have to break up with Gao Gong in the end, so she might as well resign. Wu Cheng'en

After hearing the news, he knew that he would soon have no support, so he took the initiative to "return to his hometown after completing his term of office", and finally passed away in the eighth year of Wanli.

"Journey to the West" was written by Wu Cheng'en because he had nothing to do when he was serving in Prince Jing's Mansion. Li Chunfang and Li Chunfang have been old friends for many years. They were both interested in these strange topics in their early years, so there were letters between Wu Cheng'en and Li Chunfang.

Exchanges continued, and manuscripts came and went.

A large part of the reason why later generations believe that Li Chunfang is the author of "Journey to the West" is that Journey to the West actually contains deep political wisdom - in other words, it is the wisdom of life and the code of conduct of top officials.

Of course, Wu Cheng'en may be very shrewd as a person, but the code of conduct in top officialdom... it may take Li Chunfang, a top official who was the chief minister of the cabinet at the time, to understand it so deeply.

[Note: Due to space limitations, we will not list the evidence one by one here. Most of the clues can be found in "Yi'an Tang Ji" written by Li Chunfang and its appendices. These include Wang Xijue's "Gong Biography of Grand Master Li Wedding" and Xu Guo's "

The epitaph of Mr. Li of Shilu and his first-grade wife, Mrs. Xu" and Wang Jiaping's "The epitaph of Mr. Li of Shilu and his first-grade wife, Mrs. Xu".

In addition, precisely because Wang Jiaping's article "Shilu Gong Li and his first-class wife Xu Shizhuang" also contains clues about the relationship between Li Chunfang and Wu Cheng'en, the book assumes that he knew about Li Chunfang's participation in the creation of "Journey to the West".

All of the above are just clues and may not be considered a consensus in the academic community. Readers, please just take it as a family opinion.

By the way, there is another thing. When Li Chunfang won the gold medal in the 26th year of Jiajing, Wu Chengen wrote a "Present to Li Shilu Taishi" to congratulate him. If the two had not been friends for a long time, this would never have happened at that time.]

After figuring out the relationship between Li Chunfang and Wu Chengen, Gao Pingshi solved a doubt caused by his previous life and finally remembered the business. He asked: "When Yuan Fu talked about this, could he have thought of something related to "Journey to the West"?

"Something related?"

Wang Jiaping looked at Gao Pragmatic carefully and said something that shocked the latter: "The strategy you just mentioned is very similar to the Tathagata's answer when the Monkey King went to distinguish the true from the false."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Gao Pingshi was stunned again, but unfortunately he read Journey to the West in the original text, but after all, too long has passed since his two lives, and he really can't remember it

It is clear how Tathagata answered.

"That's right. Even if you read it, you probably won't go into details about it." Wang Jiaping was not surprised and said with a smile: "There are a few interesting details in it. I guess it must be the handiwork of Xinghua Gong."

Gao Pragmatic had no choice but to say: "Please give Yuan Fu some advice."

"How can this be considered advice?" Wang Jiaping seemed to find it quite interesting, waving his hand and saying: "The real and fake monkey heads are all over the world, either they can't tell the truth from the false, or they dare not tell the truth, and finally they make trouble in front of Tathagata,

The performance of the monkey head at this time is quite interesting."

Gao Pragmatic showed great interest and listened to Wang Jiaping continue: "This monkey's head has always been big. This time he met the Tathagata. This is what Xinghua Gong wrote about him - kneeling before the Buddha to pay homage."

Gao pragmatic smiled and said: "I know how to respect you this time."

Wang Jiaping did not answer this sentence, but continued: "Houtou said: 'The disciples protected Tang Monk and came to build a treasure mountain to obtain the true scriptures. They refined demons and bound monsters along the way. I don't know how much energy was spent. On the way, I met a strong man by chance.

I was robbed and kidnapped by my disciples, but several people were injured a second time by my disciples. Master blamed me for rushing back and not allowing them to worship the Tathagata's golden body...'

Then he told the story that no one could tell from now on. Finally, he said: "Therefore, I boldly made things lightly, Qianqi opened the door to convenience, spread my thoughts of compassion, and distinguished the evil from the right with my disciples, so I can protect Monk Tang and worship him personally."

Take the scriptures and return to the Eastern land to spread the great teaching forever.

Rixin, you are the most intelligent person in the world, so you can naturally see that these words cannot be written by ordinary people."

Gao Pragmatic really couldn't see it at the time, but now he has been mixed up in his life and still can't see any brilliance. He nodded and said: "For Tang Monk and others, learning the scriptures is more important than anything else, so Sun Wukong said 'Come

"Building a mountain of treasures and obtaining the true scriptures" is the first priority.

Afterwards, he described the hardships and difficulties, and secretly gave Tang Seng some eye drops, saying that Tang Seng would not allow him to "worship the Tathagata's golden body". The mystery here is that Wukong's words actually showed that the most important thing to him was not actually

To learn scriptures, it is to 'worship the golden body of Tathagata'... Haha, although the avenue is mysterious, it is better to stand in line."

When Gao Pingshi said this, he was shocked and thought to himself: No wonder Li Chunfang chose to take the initiative to become an official back then. He must have realized that even if he wanted to side with Long Qing, there was no room for him around Long Qing.

Long Qing only wanted to use my third uncle. Just like the Buddha, to a large extent, he wanted to help his second disciple Jin Chanzi to achieve Buddhahood, so he made such a big "merit" of seeking scriptures and let him go through it.

The ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties are nothing more than making it impossible for the gods and Buddhas in heaven to accuse him of nepotism.

[Note: Jin Chanzi had no fruition status before reincarnation, which means that his identity is "Jin Chanzi", not a Buddha, a Bodhisattva, or an Arhat.]

The Taoist theory here made it clear, but it was not clear yet what Wang Jiaping said about Tathagata's strategy like the strategy he proposed today, so Gao pragmatically continued to ask.

Wang Jiaping then smiled and said: "Don't worry, don't worry, have you ever thought about the real and fake monkey heads?"

Gao pragmatic pondered for a moment and said: "If it is as Yuan Fu said, this book... at least this chapter was written by Xinghua Gong. I thought that the so-called six-eared macaque did not actually exist. The fake monkey king was nothing more than the hair of Wukong.

change."

"What is the proof?" Wang Jiaping asked with a smile.

"It's not that the gods and Buddhas in the sky cannot be distinguished, but based on what this fake monkey king has done, if his true identity is revealed, then the important matter of seeking scriptures will be impossible. Moreover, when the Tathagata said that he is a six-eared macaque

After that, Wukong actually beat him to death with one blow... Haha, wasn't there anything he could do before, but now he was beaten to death so easily that he couldn't even say a word?"

When Gao Pingshi said this, he shook his head and said: "There are many people who can tell the difference, but no one can tell it. Wukong also learned his lesson at this time, and did not lift the table, but made things worse but controlled the intensity.

, and finally put it in front of the Tathagata, while still remaining humble... He actually wanted a guarantee from the Tathagata."

"As expected, Rixin can see clearly." Wang Jiaping said with a smile: "So, Tathagata just said that he should continue to protect Tang Monk, but he took it seriously and said: 'I will report to Tathagata and learn that the master will definitely not want me.

If you don't take me here, why don't you think about it again? In the hope that the Tathagata will find it convenient, recite the mantra of Songhu'er, take off the golden hoop, return it to the Tathagata, and let me return to the secular world.'

Hehe, what did he say before? 'Therefore, I was bold and light, prayed for thousands of times to open the door for convenience, spread my compassionate thoughts, and distinguished the evil from the right with my disciples. I was good at protecting Tang Monk, worshiped the golden body, took the scriptures, returned to the Eastern Land, and lived forever.

Great Master, if you don't know what to do now, what else is it but asking Tathagata for a guarantee?"

At this time, Gao Pragmatic finally remembered and said with a smile: "So the Tathagata said, 'Don't think too much and don't be unreasonable. I'll teach Guanyin to send you away, and I'm not afraid that he won't accept it. I'll protect him if I go.' Then the success will be achieved."

Returning to the ultimate bliss, you will also sit on the lotus platform.'"

At this point, Gao Pragmatic finally understood what Wang Jiaping said about Tathagata's treatment, which was similar to what he said today.

Sure enough, Wang Jiaping said: "Rixin, you see, 'Don't be treacherous.' This means you are using Qi Jin, Zhang Wanbang and other old generals to lead a large army to guard North Korea, so that people with ulterior motives will not dare to move lightly with force;

"I teach Guanyin to send you there", this is to give face, just like you have made great contributions to the Northern People's Party and given a chance to the Southern People's Party, both parties have retained their dignity;

"Success will bring you ultimate happiness, and you will also sit on the lotus platform" is a promise, just like you give them a future as North Korean officials and give North Korean people hope to obtain Han citizenship in the future.

Haha, from this it seems that you now understand the wisdom that Mr.

, there is no need to worry about any changes in the world."
