Chapter 688: The Foundation is Completed
The will in the palace finally came out, and the will did not deviate from Hao Fenglou's expectations. Everything was like Hao Fenglou's advice, and it was no different.
In fact, in addition to some officials of the imperial court, the people who are concerned about this decree have caused a lot of controversy between the scholars and the public. Some people beat their chests and feet, saying that the court was making trouble, and some people think that the court was doing this, which is unethical. So some people wailed, and there were "ignorant people". They felt that this seemed to be nothing wrong. Isn't the court expanding its territory? This is a sign of a prosperous era?
Of course, ordinary people think that good is not necessarily true, because these people naturally have no say. They say good or bad has nothing to do with public opinion. Just like the umbrella of the people, local officials will naturally not be your turn to evaluate it. Good or bad is the business of the gentry and the gentry and men. If they do it seriously, the gentry and men will not only give it to each other, but also have to lie in the meaning of "all people" to represent the general public. The meaning of giving away a few umbrellas.
If there are really some fools who think that this umbrella of people is really related to the "people", then it would be ridiculous.
It's ridiculous to say that Siam is thousands of miles apart, and many people don't even know about Siam in the southeast, southwest and northwest. However, this does not prevent everyone from complaining. What should be scolded is naturally still scolding. It's just that scholars are arbitrary to the "fool people". They always like to represent the people and question the court and make a few words, but the evil people will eventually get hurt by the evil people. The emperor ignores you at all. What can you do? Today, when it's not when a group of Donglin officials were instructing the country at the end of the Ming Dynasty, they really dare to make things worse. The court sticks and the guns and rods of the official army are hungry.
However, when Hao Fenglou received the news, he was overjoyed. He quickly compiled the book and ordered people to send it to Lang Son quickly. In fact, this imperial edict was related to the entire Western pattern. As long as there was an imperial edict, Hao Fenglou was almost certain that within a few years, the Western area would soon have earth-shaking changes.
After the book was compiled, Hao Fenglou immediately invited Master Chen to come.
Master Chen was summoned by Hao Fenglou. He didn't dare to neglect it. After getting off duty in the Hanlin Academy, he came to pay a visit. In fact, there was no close relationship between Hao Fenglou and Master Chen. But everyone knew in their hearts that everyone was a community of stakeholders, so they had to protect the interests of each other.
Master Chen sat down and looked at the young sea defense climate. His ambition disappeared immediately. You should know that his own creation of Chen Xue spread rapidly with the help of those who are interested, and he naturally became known as a great sage in the Jiaozhi Yunnan and Guizhou area. A hundred years later, if Chen Xue's influence remains, it may not be impossible to become a sub-saint in the future.
He was gradually a little proud, but when he saw the actual manipulator behind the military, political, literary and business areas in Jiaozhi, he was such a "little" guy, which made him feel short of his hero.
After having tea, the two of them greeted each other. Master Chen made a statement to Hao Fenglou and said bluntly: "Congratulations to the marquis for getting what he wants. This imperial edict was drafted by me, and it was sent by Master Jie."
"Oh?" Hao Fenglou couldn't help but smile and asked, "What is this allusion?"
Master Chen stroked his beard and said, "It was originally the responsibility of the Hanlin. Yesterday, a few Hanlins were invited to the cabinet to draft the edict. However, after hearing the meaning of the cabinet, those colleagues were all indignant and refused to write, saying that they did not dare to help the evil and act as accomplices for the tiger. Then the scholar Jie seemed to have a shirk responsibility and refused to start writing. He had no choice but to invite me from the Museum of Literature and History to let me start writing."
Hao Fenglou laughed: "Will Mr. Chen bear another infamous?"
Mr. Chen didn't care and said, "What's this? Is there any less infamy in me? I just don't make plans for each other. I've become accustomed to their praise and criticism. There are not many more, and there are not many less."
What he said makes sense. The leader of Chen Xue who dares to come to the capital to be an official must have responsibility and courage. If he can't even do this, why should he talk about Everbright Chen Xue?
Of course, these are off-topic words. Hao Fenglou decided to get to the point. He pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Chen's books have been read by others, and many of them make sense, which refreshes Hao. There is only one thing that I don't quite understand."
"Oh?" Master Chen said, "I don't know what is unclear about the Marquis."
Master Chen cheered up and realized that since this coastal defense officer came to ask for advice, he must have intentions and must not take it lightly.
Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "Mr. There is a classic called "The Rich Country". This book mentions that emphasizing business is not a bad thing, and even Confucius does not reject the saying of breeding. But the problem is that emphasizing business can strengthen the country and enrich the people. But Mr. also saw it personally. Merchants have always been despised. This is not a day or two. The so-called freezing of three feet does not mean a day. Since trade is good, how can we ensure trade?"
This sentence is Hao Fenglou’s real intention.
Protecting commerce means protecting the Hao family, the world's top chaebol, to protect the interests of all closely related people such as Lang Son and Jiaozhi, and to protect Hao Fenglou.
Master Chen frowned, but he couldn't answer.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the emergence of Chen Xue’s rebellious words was not a closed-door business, but it was just because of Lang Son, Lang Son’s trade and soil, and this soil that Chen Xue grew up. This was like Wang Xue in the late Ming Dynasty. After the emergence of capitalism in the late Ming Dynasty, many strange and strange theories began to appear, and there were even so-called Wang Xue’s great scholars, who proposed that the world could not be denied, and the monarch should have been elected by the ministers themselves.
These unprecedented words were not because these extremely smart leaders of Wangxue were thrusting their brains and were confused for a while, but they were just the demands of some interest groups in the Jiangnan area. However, this demand was eventually interrupted by the Qing Dynasty's entry into the pass, and since then it was obscured in the long river of history and long forgotten.
The same is true for Chen Xue. They proposed various "strange theories" for the first time. It was not because Master Chen was working behind closed doors or that he was confused. It was just because new interest groups were bred on this land. This group needed someone to speak and had its own theories. With demand, Master Chen was naturally praised.
Now, Hao Fenglou's question made Master Chen stunned.
Because he wrote a book for this new interest group and conveyed their interest demands, he found that things had come to the starting point again. Chen Xue had forgotten an extremely important thing, that is, the issue of how to protect the interests of this group for a long time.
If it cannot be guaranteed, even if it is the case today, then tomorrow, if the king ordered it, wouldn’t Master Chen and even the people behind him return to their original form?
Hao Fenglou struck while the iron was hot and said again: "Mr. Chen, don't forget that there was a Shen Wansan during the Hongwu period."
Mr. Chen's expression became even more serious. What if he was rich enough to compete with a country? The final result was that he would not die without a burial place.
Just like those landlords and gentry, they can have a situation where the emperor and literati and officials can govern the world today. This is not only because of their own strength, but also theories based on Neo-Confucianism. More importantly, they have great political rights. The world is in the hands of the emperor on the surface, but in the end, if there is no scholar-official participation, or the emperor and literati and officials are separated from each other, then in the end, there is a great possibility that the world will be in chaos, and the master of this country will probably be replaced.
Master Chen fell into deep thought. He felt that he had indeed ignored a more important interest demand for the chaebols, and this demand seemed to be the real key.
Finally, he smiled bitterly, but looked at Hao Fenglou seriously and said, "I am stupid, so I would like to ask the marquis for advice."
As the leader of Chen Xue, he actually asked a young man about his head. If his disciples saw him, he would be shocked. However, Mr. Chen was very serious. In fact, he urgently needed an answer from Hao Fenglou.
Hao Fenglou smiled slightly and said, "Actually, this answer is in this imperial edict. Master Chen, who will take a closer look at the imperial edict, perhaps he will have an insight."
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Master Chen left, and Hao Fenglou personally sent it to the middle gate. Both of them looked like they were all happy.
Finally, Hao Fenglou watched the sedan chair slowly rise and go further and further away. Hao Fenglou's gaze couldn't help but smile.
I just don’t know what strange and strange things my enlightenment will make Mr. Chen come up with? Naturally, this guy is actually an old guy. He is the most familiar with interest relations until today. I believe that there will never be any ruthless words, but it is inevitable that the old school and the landlords and gentry will be surprised.
"Well, if the book comes out, I will definitely read it well."
As the protector of Chen Xue or the manipulator behind Chen Xue, Hao Fenglou felt a little ashamed when he said that because he knew Chen Xue not more than any student in Lang Son's school. His professional level really requires an evaluation standard, and he is probably a ignorant type of ignorant.
Thinking of this, Hao Fenglou couldn't help laughing. (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!
