"It seems that some things have to be done earlier."

Zhu Xu put the fan together and said with a smile.

At this time of the Ming Dynasty, all contradictions developed to the extreme. With the emergence of capitalism, doubts about feudal monarchy will become increasingly louder.

Although the Ming Dynasty law was re-enacted and the law determined the rationality and legality of imperial power was determined, it was not enough to completely straighten out the ideas and gain sufficient recognition by just a Ming Dynasty law.

‘Is it too early to add a 'business theory' to the imperial examination?’

Zhu Xu walked while thinking.

The current business environment in the Ming Dynasty is very bad. The most important thing is that the "little glacier" affects all aspects. If the overall environment is better, the development of business should be easier to promote. After the business develops, some things may be solved.

"After all, it's in the most difficult time..."

Zhu Xu couldn't help but sighed to the sky. The late Ming Dynasty in history was really too difficult. It was him now. When he did things, he was always restricted and was oppressed by reality and was difficult to perform.

Cao Huachun and Cao Bianjiao followed Zhu Xu silently. They had no idea about Zhu Xu's words, so they could only listen quietly.

After a while, Zhu Xu shook his head slightly. He wanted to race against time, but space did not allow it.

He let go of these things, and did not alarm anyone, and walked slowly in the academy.

The students here are not later generations of college students, holding books, lowering their heads, and forgetting to eat and sleep. They are keen on collective debates and expressing their own opinions. They are not "shy" and seem to care nothing about everything.

Zhu Xu was paced in the academy and observed everything around him. The environment here was not very similar to the academy, but more like a beautiful courtyard with beautiful buildings and pavilions, scattered in an orderly manner, with a small rockery and lake, and a unique scenery.

From time to time, you can see a group of students arguing there, and the topics of the debate are still very large.

‘The disadvantages of Jingzheng’s new policy.’

‘The advantages and disadvantages of the political situation in our dynasty.’

‘Gentlemen pay taxes and preferential treatment for scholars.’

Zhu Xu would occasionally stop, listen quietly for a while, and then smiled and walked forward.

The students are not old, eleven or twelve years old, and they are a bit "naive" in terms of arguments and arguments, and they cannot be said at the key points, but they are also valuable for their age.

Zhu Xu was walking here, unconsciously feeling that it was very big, both of which were bigger than later universities, and it was estimated that it would be at least 5,000 acres!

"It's so big..." Zhu Xu sighed. You know, this is in the new urban area of ​​Yangzhou, not a remote suburb, and Jiangdu Academy is really extraordinary.

Zhu Xu walked around and came to a row of teaching academy. There were rows of two-story buildings with red bricks and green tiles, and Lang Lang's reading sounds everywhere.

A group of people approached quietly. Zhu Xu stopped in front of a relatively quiet classroom window, looking at the open window, and couldn't help but be stunned.

I saw more than 30 people in the classroom, all sitting on the ground, a middle-aged man sat cross-legged in front, and the students sat around and listened to his lecture.

The middle-aged man looked calm and smiled with a gentle spring breeze and said, "Emperor Taizu rose from a commoner, expelled Tatars, and built China again. China has been from Taizu and Chengzu for more than two hundred years. The country has gradually lost its territory. The court has changed from an offensive mentality to defense. A Great Wall, Myanmar, southeast Myanmar, and Annan have been constantly invaded. Until the current emperor ascended the throne, rose up to sanction military and political affairs, and pacified the troubles in the north. Today's test questions: Nowadays, disasters are endless, people are in chaos one after another, the imperial court's reforms are bumpy, the national treasury is becoming increasingly empty, where is our Ming Dynasty... where is it going?"

As soon as this question arose, Zhu Xu's expression suddenly changed slightly and his eyes showed a deep look.

The middle-aged man, who was eleven or 2 years old, was silent for a while when he heard this, and then he spoke very lively.

"From Qin to this day, the longest enjoyment of the country has been only four hundred years. The situation in our Ming Dynasty is severe and we must deal with it seriously..."

"The court had a premonition that the 'revival of the Ming Dynasty' has been many years. I think the reason why the court could eliminate Jiannu was the accumulation of years..."

"Where will my Ming Dynasty go? Of course, I want 'the world'..."

"'The world is harmonious'? This is not easy, even the ancient sages are powerless..."

"This is just a beautiful idea, and it is impossible to achieve..."

A group of students argued with each other, and it became very intense in the blink of an eye, and there was a tendency to be unable to stop.

The middle-aged man sat cross-legged there, smiling and not moving, just listening quietly.

Zhu Xu outside the window listened more seriously, his eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't help but whisper to himself, "'The World's Great Harmony'..."

The reason why people are confused is that they cannot see the way forward, do not know the end, or rather, do not know how to go next. Now there are many academies in the Ming Dynasty and many schools of thought, because the Ming Dynasty has developed to a certain level, and needs a direction and a goal.

‘The Great Harmony in the World’ may not fool everyone, but it is still easy to set goals for one or several stages...

Zhu Xu turned around and said with a smile: "This trip is really here. Let's go back. I have to think about it carefully."

Cao Huachun and Cao Bianjiao were both confused and had to turn around and leave with Zhu Xu.

Zhu Xu and others just turned around, the middle-aged man who had been smiling, turned to look at the backs of Zhu Xu and his group of people, and his brows were slightly frowning.

"Why is this person's back a little familiar..."

Zhu Xu had a great harvest today, so he locked himself in the house after he returned.

I wrote a few big words as I picked up the pen: the ultimate goal of the development of the Ming Dynasty and the current plan.

Just as he was about to continue writing, Zhu Xu frowned. If he wrote a general article, he would be confident and thoughtful, and would be able to make words and sentences. If such an article was read by people all over the world, he would inevitably feel a little timid.

"I have to find a gunman..."

Zhu Xu talked to himself, and then began to make an outline, from nothing to something, detailed and detailed, back and forth, every detail must be carefully considered and weighed, and there must be no deviation.

After getting busy, Zhu Xu sank into it and was conscious of anything outside.

Bang

Suddenly, the sound of a stick hitting the window awakened Zhu Xu.

He raised his head, dizzy and palpitations in front of him, and it took him a while to get used to it.

"Master, can we come in?" Cao Bianjiao knocked on the door and whispered.

Zhu Xu took a deep breath and calmed down and said, "Well, come in."

Cao Bianjiao pushed the door and went in, observed it around, then walked to the window, pushed it open and looked.

I saw dozens of people fighting, holding knives and sticks in their hands, and were fighting to cut them desperately. This is different from seeing them in the morning. They were just asking for trouble and venting their anger. This time, they were really fighting and did not hold back at all.

Blood spilled everywhere, and broken limbs and arms were everywhere.

Zhu Xu rubbed his temples and looked outside. It was already half dark. He let out a breath and said, "What happened outside?"

Cao Bianjiao closed the window and walked back and said, "Emperor, the cabinet has released a new salt administration. The salt merchants in Yangzhou have lost their minds and are on the streets."

Zhu Xu browed and said to himself: "I remember that Master Bi and his uncle once jointly submitted a memorial to sort out the salt administration, control the salt merchants to nine families, and end the chaos..."

The advantage of this is that it is easy to control and supervise, and does not require the court to invest too much. At the same time, it is gradually directly included in the cabinet's direct institutions and formalized.

The direct consequence of this is to kick out most salt merchants, especially some old salt merchants. Many people who make their fortunes with salt and canal transportation will lose this piece of fat.

"Is it serious? How did Cao Bushan do it?" Zhu Xu turned to look at the results just now and said with a calm expression.

Cao Bianjiao looked a little solemn and said, "I heard that Cao Bushan had mobilized his troops and was suppressing him everywhere, but it was not just Yangzhou. I heard that the same was true for Suzhou and Yingtianfu. The salt merchants' fights became more and more intense, and even affected Huitong Trading Company..."

Huitong Trading Bank and its affiliated business group are Zhu Xu's lifeblood. As soon as he heard it, he said, "How did it affect it?"

Cao Bianjiao also knew the relationship here, and hesitated a little and said, "Some places are robbed, some resist, some no longer cooperate, and there are bad rumors in Yangzhou Prefecture..."

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes and smiled and said, "This is to use me as an air breath... Haha, that's right, if they don't take me, who will I take if I don't take me, who can I bully..."

Cao Bianjiao could hear that the emperor was angry and stood there waiting for the order without expression.

Zhu Xu picked up the pen and continued to improve the outline of his destined masterpiece, and said with a smile: "Actually, this is not difficult, that is, salt merchants from various provinces set up chambers of commerce, divided the market internally, and competed externally... But, how many of my officials and masters would be able to think about this and handle this matter well, instead of pushing it to the court?"

Cao Bianjiao didn't say anything, but just looked at Zhu Xu's back quietly. According to the emperor's personality, there must be an order behind him.

"Don't worry about it for now, prepare for it. After eating, let's go to Xiao Qinhuai to have a look." Zhu Xu wrote.

Cao Bianjiao was a little surprised and replied: "Yes."

Zhu Xu knew it in his mind that after a few people had a simple supper, they packed up and headed to the Little Qinhuai River.

The so-called Little Qinhuai is naturally comparable to Yingtian Prefecture, which is the Qinhuai River in Jinling, and is the most prosperous part of Yangzhou.

The Little Qinhuai River, from the East Gate to Dongshui Pass, is only four miles away. The singing, dancing pavilions, teahouses, and pleasure boats on both sides are lined up in countless numbers. The so-called famous scholars and prostitutes like to linger in the most, and are prosperous in Yangzhou, which is a prosperous place!

Zhu Xu did not go on a boat, but came to a bridge.

This bridge is called Siwang Pavilion. You can see the four sides of the pavilion, which is a relatively special place.

To the east is called Caiyi Street, which specializes in women's jewelry, fabrics, rouge and water powder. Women are walking around, walking step by step, agarwood, and there is no end to see at a glance.

Zhu Xu walked, enjoying the beautiful scenery while also experiencing the customs and customs of Yangzhou.

"Chunhui Garden, Xiaodong Garden, Cuiyuan, Zhenyuan, Wuyuan, Dressing Building..."

Zhu Xu looked at each one, and each one was luxurious and exquisite, beautiful, which made him particularly novel.

There will be three updates today.
