    Seeing that his sons finally had solemn expressions on their faces, Wu Di took a sip of tea and continued: "We don't want those properties in the clan. In the future, when those cousins ??ask for your help, they will help if they can.  I don't like the family of a powerful family with deep roots. "Although Wu Zong is a very popular minister and the leader of the world, he is just an ordinary disciple in the clan. He may have influence, but he has no decision-making power, so he came here.  At his age, he is too lazy to take on clan obligations and plan for the entire clan.  Zhuzi has followed Wu Zong since he was very young and has never spent much time in his hometown. Many relatives did not fully recognize him, let alone care about him, and nodded one after another.  "Brother," Wu Zong said, "you are the most out-of-touch among brothers and are good at socializing with others. This is your strength." The eldest son was very pleased to hear this. It was not easy to win his father's approval.  "It's a pity that it was so frivolous." Wu Di came to a turning point, which immediately filled his son's face with shame.  "You should go into business in the future." Wu Zong said.  The elder of the Wu family immediately knelt on the ground, with tears streaming down his face, and said, "Father, is my son so unbearable in your eyes?" Wu Gang sighed and said, "You have shallow eyes and a frivolous temper. If you become an official, you will be killed."  It's a disaster, it involves brothers. It's better to be a businessman. In the future, you will be rich and noble, so why not do it?  It will be easier to be in politics." The elder of the Wu family stood up, still looking sad.  "Second brother," Wu Zong said, "you are quite accomplished in miscellaneous studies. I think you will take the road of museums and libraries in the future. That is the road of nobles and nobles. In the future, the education of my nephews should also be more careful." Wu  The second child's favorite things are reading, drinking tea, flowers and birds, calligraphy and painting, music To put it simply, he is a player.  When he was born, Wu Di was already an official and his family was wealthy.  So he has never been as motivated as his elder brother.  Since the establishment of libraries and museums, this second brother has often visited them and is quite happy.  "Tomorrow you can follow me to the Prince Consort's Mansion to pay New Year's greetings," Wu said.  "Thank you, father." Of course the second son of the Wu family knew that this consort must be the eldest princess's consort, Fu Mei.  Now Fu Mei is in charge of the National Museum and has a very high reputation among the scholars.  The boss of the Wu family glanced at his younger brother and felt a little unfair.  "The third child." Wu Di picked up the tea and said, "You are going to America." "Ah?" The youngest son immediately collapsed to the ground, quickly closed his legs, and cried: "Father! If your son has done something wrong, I will not be beaten or scolded. Don't do it."  Drive your son away. " Nowadays, the development of America is booming. Every powerful family has sent people to mine gold mines and cultivate wasteland. However, at most, they can only send a steward. Even the bastards and distant relatives will not be involved in this.  A job akin to exile.  What's more, America is not peaceful either.  I heard that King Jing had already fought two battles with Xi Yi over there.  "You did nothing wrong." Wu Di didn't show any emotion, he just said: "The land of America is almost equivalent to the entire Ming Dynasty. You spread your business there, establish a foothold in business, and take care of each other with your elder brother, no matter where  If anything happens, there is always a way out. You three brothers may understand the so-called Cunning Rabbit's Three Caves. "Then let the eldest brother go." The youngest child knelt on the ground and muttered.  "His son is not good. Your boy is pretty good." Wu Di was already a little impatient.  There was no change in the tone of voice.  "Yu'er? Why is he so good?" the third child of the Wu family asked doubtfully.  "Be aware of current affairs." In short, Wu Di felt a little tired.  As the prime minister of a country, his government has decided that he will not tell the truth.  What I am saying now is really because my son is useless.  If it was successful, they should have arranged these things themselves.  "Actually, the royal family is the leader of the world." Wu Di stood up.  He stretched his waist slightly and said: "The royal family values ??land and soil, and the world values ??land and soil. The royal family values ??commerce, and the world values ??commerce and trade. See for yourselves, what the royal family is doing now. You may also think that business is a lowly industry, and America is  A place of exile?" After that, Wu Zong ignored his three sons and went into the inner hall to rest.  ¡­ ¡°You think the emperor leads the people of the world forward? Wrong! Big mistake!¡± Zhu Cixiang called the crown prince Zhu Hegui into the inner room of the study. Lu Suyao guarded the door and no one was allowed to approach, which shows his caution.  Zhu Hegui was quite dissatisfied and did not answer.  "The emperor is pushed away by the people of the world." Zhu Cixi said earnestly: "The so-called person who wins the hearts of the people wins the world, haven't you thought about it carefully? "The people of the world want to cultivate the land and live in peace, so the royal family can only cooperate with them.  Emphasis on agriculture and plowing.  If people in the world want to get rich through business, the royal family can only cooperate with them.?Encourage industry and commerce.  In the "Thirteen Strategies for Promoting Agriculture" that you presented, have you figured out whose side you are on?  " As soon as Zhu Cihong returned to the palace, he had just settled his two sons. The eldest son Zhu Hegui, who was teasing his younger son who was learning to walk, came in and presented a draft of "Thirteen Strategies for Promoting Agriculture". "Thanks to his cleverness,  It's just a draft. If it were written as a memorial and submitted, I'm afraid Zhu Cixi would even have the idea of ??deposing the prince. The most critical items in the "Thirteen Strategies for Promoting Agriculture" are: reset the garrison, abandon the army for agriculture, and increase business.  Of these four, the first two were a slap in Zhu Cihong¡¯s face, because the abolition of the health service was the core of Longjing¡¯s new policy, which completely integrated the country¡¯s land and population and enhanced the country¡¯s mobilization capabilities.  The governing ability of the early Manchu Qing Dynasty was far less than that of the late Ming Dynasty. Why did the land and population more than double that of the late Ming Dynasty? It was precisely because the Manchu Qing Dynasty abolished the Weisuo and counted the land and population under the Weisuo's name.  The purpose of setting up a garrison was to reduce the financial burden on the country and allow the army to support itself, but in fact it undermined the court's ability to mobilize troops and restricted the empire's ability to use troops for foreign campaigns. Two generations later, the garrison officers degenerated into landlords and re-established themselves as landlords.  Become a member of the scholar-bureaucrat class. From this point of view, the person who has this strategy of the Pope is also a genius. It is a pity that he has an emperor who has a hundred years of insight.  From a farm?  "Zhu Hegui said without fear: "Nowadays, the country is focused on business, and in the future, all the people in the court and in the court will be villains. If this continues, the country will not be a country!  "    "ha.  Zhu Cixi was very happy, "The scholar-bureaucrat is from a farmer's house?"  Go and check, how many scholar-bureaucrats after the Wanli Dynasty had no businessmen in their families!  You cling to the theory of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, but can't you see that it is based on the soil and uses industry and commerce to benefit yourself?  " The salary of officials in the Ming Dynasty was probably the lowest in history, but the treatment given to scholars in the Ming Dynasty was the highest. Therefore, there were poor scholars in the Ming Dynasty. However, there were countless people who could not be promoted to Jinshi, because when it came to the level of promoting people, people would naturally take the initiative to seek refuge, even if they were successful.  Before the examination, the family was poor, but after winning the examination, they immediately became rich and wealthy. Even if their family only had three acres of thin farmland, there must be people in their clan doing business in their name, evading taxes, and paying them "filial piety" every year.  This is dividends. It¡¯s just disguised as a gift from a relative. After all, the crown prince is too young to understand how this society works. ¡°Son, if you focus the country on farming, the country¡¯s income can only come from the land.  The burden on the people increased, the income of the court decreased, and natural disasters became a disaster.  However, it was difficult for businessmen to improve their status, so they alienated themselves from the country and only cared about themselves.  Regardless of the country.  The results of it?  It's the intruder who offers the thief his comeback.  "Zhu Cixi said earnestly. "Father, if the country emphasizes agriculture.  When the people live and work in peace and contentment, where can the rebels and thieves come from?  "Zhu Hegui asked with his head raised, quite questioningly. Lu Suyao heard the sound inside outside. Although she couldn't hear it clearly, her heartbeat was still abnormal. One was worried about the emperor. The other was worried about the crown prince. Zhu Cixiang faced  The son asked, feeling helpless, he called his son over, took his hand, and said softly: "You can see that scholars and farmers are valuable.  If industry and commerce are inferior, then we should understand that there are three, six or nine levels of people in this world, right?  " Zhu Hegui seemed unwilling to accept this statement, but still nodded. "These three, six, and nine grades are like steps. My father calls them classes.  "Zhu Cixi chose his words carefully, not daring to release the beast of "class struggle" all at once. The thirteen-year-old crown prince already had certain logical abilities and nodded again. "Classes are roughly divided into two: mastered  The possessing class of social resources, and the proletariat who do not control social resources.  "Zhu Cixiang said: "For individuals, class is not constant. For example, the children of farm laborers are originally proletarians. Through studying and progress, they master the resources needed for production, that is, they master social resources and become the property-owning class.  The original children of officials, because they did not seek advancement, sold their ancestral property, and became naked from having resources. This is how they have retreated into the proletariat.  Do you understand?  The Crown Prince thought for a moment and said, "Is this the case in my family?"  " "That's right," Zhu Cixiang was a little pleased, "Emperor Taizu Gao was originally a poor man and a member of the proletariat. Later he drove out the barbarians, rebuilt China, and ruled the world. This is the head of the proletarian class.  .  "The Crown Prince nodded, expressing understanding. "However, for the entire world, class is constant.  "Zhu Cixiang said: "People come in and out, but there are always people who control others and people who control others. In other words, no matter how the world changes, these two classes will always exist.  ¡± Zhu HeguiAfter thinking for a while, he nodded again.  "Now, my father is asking you, who does my family rule the world with?" "Yes we rule the world with the property owners." Zhu Hegui thought for a while. Although he still couldn't understand the exact concept of social resources, he still did this right.  Multiple choice questions.  He immediately said again: "Father, if you give the people land, they will become property owners!" "It's good if you understand this." Zhu Cixi breathed a sigh of relief: "There are two types of property owners, the poor and the poor.  A person with a fortune, or a person with a lot of money. Who do you think is more useful, a farmer with only two acres of land, or a rich man?" The answer to this question involving social influence is not necessarily a simple either/or.  However, the Crown Prince simply chose the latter.  "That's right," Zhu Cixiang took advantage of the situation. "On the surface, the Tianjia is the most useful and influential person in the world. What about in reality? If the people below all hope to get rich by doing business, but the Tianjia still clings to the fields,  What do you think will happen?" "They are disloyal!" Zhu Hegui shouted: "They should advance and retreat with my family!" "Yes, they are disloyal, and that's what happened. That's why there was a national upheaval.  "Zhu Cixiang said: "The imperial court is strapped for money, but they are extremely extravagant. They would rather throw the money into the water than give it to the imperial court." A murderous look appeared on Zhu Hegui's face.  "But what can you do? Before the national revolution, your emperor asked for help several times, but no one was willing to help. How can you confiscate their homes?" Zhu Cixiang said: "Because you have already stood in another class. They  These people who have control of social resources regard you as their enemy. Who is willing to support you? " "My father is too pessimistic, but there are still loyal ministers!" Zhu Hegui said with confidence.  "Loyal ministers?" Zhu Cixi sneered: "Go and see how much money the loyal ministers have in their homes, and how many people listen to what they say. There was a Hai Rui in the Jiajing Dynasty, but unfortunately he was not loyal to the emperor, but to the famous religion! If you want to protect  The only way is to always stand on the side of the general trend and never go against the trend." Seeing his son's disapproval, Zhu Cihong said again: "Do you know that the King of England, Charles I, was openly executed by the new nobles in the court?  , that was ten years ago." "There are people like Cao Mang in Britain!" Zhu Hegui was quite shocked.  "So, it is very important to take sides, especially the Tian family." Zhu Cixiang said: "After Wanli, national resources have been transferred to the hands of the industrial and commercial clan, but the royal family still stands in the position of the landlord. The result? These industrial and commercial clans blindly demand  Increase taxes and transfer the national pressure to the land, and if someone wants to raise business taxes, they will attack them. "The dispute between Donglin and the eunuchs is, in the final analysis, a battle of interests.  Therefore, when the eunuch party gained power, the state's commercial tax exceeded one million, but Donglin said that the people were prosperous, but the court could no longer collect commercial tax.  " "This" The crown prince had never considered the issue of national taxation and was speechless for a moment. "Being a father is not only about industry and commerce.  At the same time, it also brought Tianjia onto the road of industry and commerce.  As a result, the imperial court had ample industrial and commercial taxes.  Only when we can build water conservancy and carry out basic construction can farmers who truly account for more than 90% of the country live and work in peace and contentment.  "Zhu Cixiang said: "Now someone wants to bring you back to the old path, so that your father's hard work will be in vain, and the powerful family will still monopolize business profits. Who do you think this kind of person is?  " "Yes" The Crown Prince just wanted to defend the gentlemen. But he still endured it and just said: "They are not sycophants.  " If Zhu Cixiang wants to know who is instigating the crown prince behind his back, there is no need to ask the crown prince. Are those people really fake as factory guards? In fact, Zhu Cixiang doesn't care about these little bugs at all. Anyone who is really capable knows that now  It's definitely not a good time. If you want to change the situation, you have to wait for the emperor to succeed. Maybe these little bugs are just bait thrown by those people, just to scare the snake. "You will become the emperor in the future," Zhu Cixi sighed.  He said, "The fate of the Tian family is in your hands.  If you go against the will of heaven, my family will be shattered to pieces.  If you can follow the way of heaven, the country will naturally be stable forever.  " "But this way of heaven is too vague" The crown prince was a little helpless. "Actually, our ancestors have pointed it out to you.  "Zhu Cixiang sighed: "The people's heart is their own.  If the people want to eat and eat salt, you have to master grain and salt; if the people want to wear clothes, you have to master cotton and silk; if the people want to live and work in peace and contentment, you have to master the houses, land and positions.  Of course, the royal family cannot handle everything with one hand, so at the core, it can only be controlled by the royal family and the court.  The second-class ones can be managed by the royal family and the people.  The next first-class projects will be handed over to private capital.  Just look at the royal family¡¯s shareholding in Tianxia Industries and you will know.  " Although Zhu Hegui was full of doubts, he still nodded. "Zhu Cihong"Lu Suyao came in and ordered: "Suyao, prepare a detailed list of the royal property and give it to the crown prince." Lu Suyao was a little confused, but she agreed immediately.  This list is not difficult to organize. The Supervisor of Ceremonies has to sort it out every month and then archive it, which belongs to the emperor¡¯s family archives.  If the foreign court wants to know how many properties the royal family has, they can only search carefully from announcements in newspapers.  Without this kind of patience and meticulousness, it would naturally be impossible to know the emperor's layout.  Zhu Cixiang believes that given the size of the world, there will eventually be such people, but there will never be many of them.  At least there is no such person around the Crown Prince.  If there was, he would never let the crown prince present something like the "Thirteen Strategies for Promoting Agriculture" that was bound to be slapped in the face.  Zhu Hegui actually had the opportunity to see this detail a long time ago, because every fiscal year, the Supervisor of Ceremonies will submit a copy to the emperor after completing it.  The emperor will also order someone to send a copy to the crown prince.  It's just that the crown prince didn't care about these money matters. He only took a last look at the balance and never looked at the details above.  Since his father had made it clear this time, Zhu Hegui finally had enough patience and carefully studied the royal property rights structure.  What surprised him was that his father¡¯s plan was not to control the basic necessities of life, as he said.  Royal's largest holdings are in only two areas: oil and coal and iron.  In these two industries, the royal family holds more than 50% of the shares, involving all large mines registered in the country.  The second is education.  Almost every university has royal equity, and the proportion varies from fully owned to 30%, but it will never be less than 30%.  The equity return in this area is also the lowest. Except for Jingshi University and Royal Institute of Technology, other schools are in a state of loss.  ??The reason why Jingshi University and Royal Institute of Technology are profitable is because most of the imperial projects were given to them.  Wulin University, which is also owned by the royal family, has almost no profit because it cannot get imperial projects.     why is that?  Zhu Hegui tilted his head, unable to understand anything.  ??Then there are horse and carriage shops, carriage shops, ship shops and shipyards.  This is finally the "business" in food, clothing, housing and transportation, but the proportion is only 20 to 30%, which is not much. Moreover, the court's shareholding is slightly higher, and private capital is also involved.  Zhu Hegui watched it for a whole day, and finally decided to take it and ask his husband what the mystery was.  (To be continued) PS: I will update more if I have free time today, and less if I am busy at ordinary times. I hope everyone can understand.
