One thousand and four hundred and one bureaucrat 3
"Your Majesty, I have a foolish opinion about this..." As he said that, Zhu Maichen took out a thin bound booklet from his arms, presented it in his hand, and said: "May your Majesty, please be kind to me."
Take a look..."
As soon as he said these words, the corners of Zhang Tang's mouth twitched. Tianlai Novel | 2
"This Zhu Sheng..." Zhang Tang laughed in his heart: "I know what he wanted to do when he asked about those things yesterday. So that's it..."
but……
Zhang Tang's eyes sparkled: "If it were just like that, I'm afraid it would be difficult to solve what he asked for..."
Zhang Tang has made outstanding achievements in Nanyang County in recent years, so he is well-known throughout the world.
What impressed people all over the world most about him was naturally his methods.
The corpses of hundreds of powerful men, bureaucrats and knight-errants have made it possible for Nanyang County not to pick up lost objects on the road today, and also embellished his notoriety as "Zhang Diao".
However, people in official circles naturally know more.
If Nanyang County relied solely on killing, it would naturally not be able to reach its current situation.
In fact, Zhang Tang is good at killing, but he is even better at construction.
However, what impressed Zhang Tang most deeply in the minds of officials all over the world was the Xiangting Mengshi/craftsman system he established in Nanyang.
Zhang Tang's solution was very simple. Just like most famous Legalist officials in history, it was nothing more than coercion and inducement.
To intimidate is to catch those wealthy families who have committed crimes and the nephews of bureaucrats who have been implicated, and ask them one by one - do you want to go to Andong/Nanyue/East China Sea to pick up soap, or do you want to stay in the local area, stay in the village pavilion, teach and educate people to atone for your sins?
One hundred percent of people chose the latter.
As for inducements? That's even simpler.
If you work as a local monk or blacksmith for ten years, you can choose to be an official or be recommended to enter the Imperial College, Luban Garden and Imperial Medical Office for further study.
However, Zhang Tang has been in Nanyang for so long, tried his best, and tried almost every method. So far, he has only managed to have one tutor/doctor/blacksmith in every township.
This is all thanks to his sharp knife and the fact that he killed enough people.
At least half of the monks/doctors are criminals and their family members.
As for Zhu Maichen, the opportunity he proposed was grander than what Zhang Tang had played in Nanyang, and the scale was at least three times larger!
But his bargaining chips were far less than what Zhang Tang held back then. After all, when Zhang Tang took office, it was the Yulin Guards who led the way, the swordsmen and axe-hands who served him, and the emperor's endorsement.
He himself is an irreplaceable confidant today.
Therefore, Zhang Tang's eyes were fixed on the booklet.
He even wanted to see the contents now.
Zhang Tang knew that it was very likely that Zhu Maichen had found a solution to the problem - at least a new way to solve the talent shortage.
If the things in his brochure have no merit.
The emperor saw it and was not satisfied.
This is bullying!
A clan of deceivers!
No matter how Zhang Tang looked at it, he felt that Zhu Maichen did not look like the kind of person who had had enough life and wanted to find a more exciting way to die.
…………………………
Zhu Maichen's pamphlet was brought to Liu Che by a servant.
Liu Che took it and opened it to take a look. Suddenly, the smile on his face grew stronger.
He read the entire booklet, put it together, and then said: "Zhu Qing's idea is indeed good, and he is worthy of being a master of the miscellaneous family!"
"Your Majesty Miao Zan, I am terrified!" Zhu Maichen quickly kowtowed and said: "My humble opinion has not stained your Majesty's eyes. I am extremely grateful..."
"Your ideas are good..." Liu Che said with a smile: "Please tell me again how you want to implement your benevolent government..."
Benevolent government is the common pursuit of all schools of thought.
Even the Legalists claim to pursue benevolence, but the Legalists put laws above everything else. In order to maintain the law and the dignity of the country, they are not afraid of killing and cruel punishment.
"I have heard that there is no greater benevolence than to provide for the people, and that there is no greater benevolence than to nourish the people. Therefore, I should take nourishing the people as the most important thing, so that they can live in peace, enjoy their careers, raise their parents, and raise grandchildren! Therefore, I want to support the people.
The best thing for the people is to ensure that they have enough food and clothing! I believe that if people have enough food and clothing, the world will be unified, and the three generations will not be far away!" Zhu Maichen bowed deeply.
After hearing this, Liu Che's eyes flashed with uncertainty.
This is also a new peak in the development of contemporary Zajia thoughts and theories.
The words "food and clothing" mean that the Zajia family has broken away from the realm of simply talking about morality and academics. In other words, the Zajia family in Anton, in order to seek development and survival, actively jumped into this rolling world and chose to associate with all living beings.
He no longer only promotes his thoughts, knowledge and theories to the upper-level rulers as he did in the past.
This is a big change.
This means that Zajia is likely to become the first secular school of thought.
The first school of thought that could delve deeply into sociology and economics.
And this is rare.
If you don't believe it, you can check out other schools of thought.
Confucianism needs no introduction. In the feudal history of more than two thousand years, the theories and discussions of this school were never intended to be discussed with the common people, or even the middle class.
All its core discussions are addressed to kings, nobles, and scholar-bureaucrats.
As for the Huang-Lao School? Huang-Lao's thought itself is too profound. Not to mention other people, even the famous figures of the Huang-Lao School may not dare to say that they can understand it thoroughly.
Legalism was originally tailor-made for emperors and the ruling class.
As for the Mohists, if you look through Mozi's book, you will find that in almost every other paragraph, Mozi will call for "the princes and princes of today...".
Obviously, this is also written for the higher-ups.
Naturally, all these schools of thought will talk about things that have nothing to do with social production and civilizational progress.
Even regard it as the key to everything.
For example, the battle between loyalty and filial piety, the battle between justice and benefit...
But now, the Zajia seems to be planning to stay down-to-earth and embark on a journey of its own.
This school of thought had its beginnings when it came to Anton.
Take a look at their slogans - etiquette and righteousness are born from wealth, theft is born from poverty; virtue and foolishness are in the heart, not in rank; trust and deception are in sex, not in intimacy... and so on.
Liu Che even remembered that in the book "People's Wealth" secretly written by Song Zihou Xu Jiu, Wu Bei and others, there was even such a rebellious saying as "the people are the foundation of the country, and the grain is the people's destiny".
But now, they have simply taken up the banner of "enough food and clothing".
This banner and slogan are really...too...provocative!
Think about it, in later generations, Li Zicheng's sentence, "No food will be paid when King Chuang comes," was more powerful than an army of 100,000.
Today, among the people in the world, who doesn’t want to have enough food and clothing?
For the majority of scholar-bureaucrats and nobles, the slogan "sufficient food and clothing" is both vivid and easy to understand, and more importantly, it is also very confusing.
Confucius once said: If you have enough talent, you will know the etiquette.
Thinking of this, Liu Che calmly closed his mouth and listened silently to Zhu Maichen's continued words: "If you want to have enough food and clothing, I think that the best way is to adapt to local conditions and take advantage of each other... Such as Anton, the animals in the mountains, the animals in the water
Fish, shrimps, and even giant beasts in the sea can be used as food for the people. Therefore, Anton is rich and famous all over the world!"
The nobles and ministers listened and nodded one after another.
In most parts of Andong Protectorate, cold weather accounts for most of the year. Especially from autumn and September to summer and April, most people dare not go out.
However, immigration in this area has basically eliminated famine.
The reason is that in addition to the vast area, sparsely populated areas, fertile land, and high food production, and the collective power of the settlement group model is very strong, the animals in the mountains, the fish and shrimps in the water, and even the whales in the ocean are also a
Important source of food supplements.
Especially in recent years, with the development of the whaling industry, the private fishing industry has also flourished.
Many fishing boats that go out to hunt whales privately do so under the guise of going out to sea for fishing.
But this is not really a pretense.
Most of the time, they are indeed fishing boats.
They just catch some fish and shrimp from the sea and transport them back to Anton port for sale.
If given the opportunity, they would be happy to kill a lone or injured whale.
Especially sperm whales, they will never let go if they appear.
Chen Jiao and Lou Chuan Yamen were helpless against the common people who were rowing sampans to grab food.
They can only focus their attention and attention on those large ships - after all, ordinary people will only kill one if they die, and it is very likely that it will be a whale that will be stranded or die.
However, those large privately captured ships may kill several or even a dozen of them along the way.
However, the influx of abundant marine and inland river fish and shrimp has made the price of fish and shrimp throughout Andong far lower than that in the inland areas.
At present, a pound of dried fish and shrimp in Chang'an market may cost between 30 and 50 yuan.
However, in Anton, even in Huaihua and Chonghua, the price of a pound of fish and shrimp is only about ten yuan.
As a result, in Anton, the meat-eating culture of Yue Qilu region is now on display.
The people of Andong have brought great inspiration to the people of Qilu area.
Especially after the four kings of Qilu came to an end, Liu Che took full control of the local area and sent a large number of new officials there. Under the guidance and organization of these officials, the local offshore fishing industry also began to flourish.
Today's ocean is a well-deserved treasure house.
In the coastal waters of later generations, countless rare fishes have almost disappeared, and now they are in swarms, numbering in the tens of millions.
Although today’s fishing industry technology and tools do not have the possibility of large-scale fishing.
But the wisdom of the people is infinite.
A ship and a net all depend on luck, of course.
But if a hundred ships unite, imitate whales, drive the fish away, and then focus on fishing, they may get a bumper harvest.
The development of fishery, in turn, promoted the development of shipbuilding and textile industries.
At the beginning, the Shaofu tried their best to build a few seine nets/break nets.
This almost cut down all the ramie in Shanglin Garden.
But today, Shaofu can make ten large trawls/seine nets in just one month.
And the cost has dropped to less than one million!
The pace of the Han Empire moving towards the sea has become faster and faster.
Obviously, now, Zhu Maichen is also eyeing the ocean.
Although Liu Che was satisfied with this, he also complained about Yan Yi.
Yan Yi has been in Kuaiji County for so long, but he still can't think as fast as a small official who came back from Anton.
It was in vain that I specially gave him a copy of "Guanzi"!
Doesn't he know that Guan Zhong can make Qi strong and prosperous by making full use of Qi's fish and salt power?
There are thousands of fish and shrimps in this sea. Especially, if Liu Che remembers correctly, opposite Kuaiji County is the Zhoushan Islands area, which is the origin of small yellow croaker.
Just organize a hundred and eighty fishing boats to go out to sea, and you can catch more than ten tons of lively little yellow croakers!
"As for the good people..." Zhu Maichen continued: "I believe that if the people have enough food and clothing, their hearts will be kind, their actions will be righteous, and their virtues will be benevolent..."
"I heard that there are no pure white foxes in the world, but there are pure white furs, which can win the whiteness of others!" Zhu Maichen said: "I think that if you want to govern a place, the wisdom of one person is not enough to succeed. If you gather the wisdom of all,
, discuss with the local wise people, and then use the power to govern, so that the government can be self-righteous..."
Liu Che listened, but suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Zhu Maichen.
This governance of the country by the wisdom of all is indeed what the Za family has always called for. They have been calling for it loudly since Lu Buwei.
In the eyes of these kings, they were gentle and rebellious, and they never believed that anyone could bring peace to the world by themselves.
At that time, Lu Buwei even shouted the slogan "Everyone knows nothing more than Yao and Shun".
This means that if a group of smart enough people gather together, Yao and Shun can also surpass them.
Do you think this is the limit for Lu Buwei to commit suicide?
wrong!
In Lu's Spring and Autumn Period, there is also a saying, "The reason why a king is established is to stand out from the crowd. To establish oneself and abandon others is to achieve the end and lose the foundation." The meaning of this sentence is - Emperor,
It comes from the people. Once he comes to power, he is destined to be separated from the people. Therefore, the world is not a world for one person, but a world for everyone. If the emperor can lead the people forward, then support him.
If he goes against the grain, then destroy him!
This is even more damning than Mencius’ idea of favoring the people over the king!
So, how could Lu Buwei not die?
To be honest, Lu's Spring and Autumn Period was lucky that it was not burned.
From this, Zajia established the idea of noble people.
It is roughly similar to the collective leadership of later generations, but somewhat different.
Therefore, Liu Checai has always felt that if anyone can become the future Chinese bourgeois party or force, then Zajia is undoubtedly the most promising.
It was also because of this that Liu Che had been patient and did not send this school of thought into hell.
In fact, Liu Che even supported and guided it intentionally or unintentionally.
But now, Zhu Maichen shouted this slogan in public. Liu Che had to stand up and said: "What Zhu Aiqing said is very popular with me. I would like to ask you to come up with policy strategies and submit them to me. I will personally read them and make my choice."
Just use it!"
He simply did not dare to let Zhu Maichen continue talking.
What if this guy shouts other slogans stupidly?
At that time, Confucianism and Legalism will not be allowed to take off?
