Chapter 19 Attacking Jade
Chen Mu shook his head and said, "The reform of the Pavilion Master is because I have been overseas for a long time and know very little. However, I think that the country should be the most important thing in everything. After all, there is a difference between the affairs of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizu. At least when Taizu and Chengzu, the Ming army could expel Yuan invaders north to the desert. Now we cannot do it outside the border."
"Just like the previous dynasty "Shushi Calendar" was used well, but its errors accumulated over the years and took them for hundreds of years, and then they had to remeasure and correct the error pool and named it "Datong Calendar". Therefore, the solar terms can be seen that the Cangbao is sufficient. The poem says that although Zhou was an old country, its fate was renewed. People at that time knew this truth, let alone now?"
The little emperor became even more confused and asked, "Why doesn't Jing Haibo support the law of his ancestors?"
"This is not the case. I believe that the Ming Dynasty opened the sea and increased the national dynasty by millions of taels every year. Since it is correct, if anyone uses the statutory country of ancestors to ban the sea in the court, I will still take out the ancestral law of the ancestors' edict of the late emperor to fight back, because the sea is the core interest of the Ming Dynasty in my eyes."
"The Emperor Taizu made the Great Edict, in which the punishment of corrupt officials was to peel the skin and grass. Later, Emperor Taizu did not use it, but there were countless cases of greed for money and corruption and corruption that harmed the people's heads. Do they dare to investigate the officials who shouted the laws of their ancestors?"
The little emperor laughed and asked, "Does Jing Hai Bo dare?"
Chen Mu smiled, and was less angry, saying, "I have given gifts and received gifts, but I am greedy for the imperial court's silver? I dare to ask someone to investigate. All the payments of the Nanyang Military Palace have their own places, and they are all used in the military and national affairs. For me, it is just a matter of money to make money, which is easier than corruption and exploitation."
"I'm not checking your account, I'm already at the age of being able to settle the accounts."
The little emperor was obviously in a good mood. He clapped his hands and walked around Chen Mu comfortably for half a circle, raised his left fingers, and said with his right hand: "Overseas silver transportation, there was no such thing as overseas. If you go to sea, even if there is too much loss, I will still make a profit!"
It can be seen that Xiao Wanli is very interested in finance, especially in accounting... It may be that Longqing and Wanli, a special period of finance in the Ming Dynasty, made the rich emperors interested in finance.
"But since you dare to say it, I will pardon you." As he said that, the little emperor didn't know what he thought of, but he even squeezed his eyes with some hatred and said, "You can be greedy for money or teach me the truth, but what is the purpose is, you have to say something to me. Don't be like those people, even if you have good intentions, you are thinking about using the solar eclipse to persuade me, but you say that the solar eclipse is the appearance of a fool."
"I am the emperor. Even if I am naive, I cannot be regarded as a fool. Even if you are greedy for more money, I know that you have the ability to serve the country with all your heart. If I ask, you can forgive me by telling the truth. Don't deceive me. I will not deceive my ministers, and I will not deceive my ministers. I hate my deception the most!"
What could Chen Mu say? He felt that the young emperor had a relatively clear understanding of the economic situation of the court officials. He bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Okay, you do it all. I heard from the teacher that the engineering wise men have already gone to Tianjin to build the Beiyang Yamen, and Jinghai Bo also has to go to supervise the construction. He will go out to sea again. The teacher often says that the ministers share the worries for the king, and the wise kings share the worries for the ministers, but I have nothing to do."
"Boy Jinghai knows so many things, do you know how to govern the country, and how should I identify the courtiers and the other ones..." Xiao Wanli frowned and thought hard, and finally four words popped up: "Core interests!"
The word core interest is not easy to be understood by the emperor, mainly because it has never appeared in ancient books. Fortunately, it has begun to play with walnuts in this era, which is relatively easier, so it was recorded by Xiao Wanli.
"There are many people in the lower class, but they can't govern the country. Now the famous ministers are in the cabinet, and the ministers in the court are much better than those in the lower class in governing the country."
"Not at all?" Xiao Wanli asked in detail, "I want to hear what you say is different, more detailed than the books of sages."
At this moment, Chen Mu wanted to smile at the sky... He knew how to govern the country! The difference between him and those officials who specialize in governing the country is no less than that of veterinarians and doctors.
However, for the sake of his future consideration, Chen Mu did not refuse Wanli's pursuit of knowledge and said: "There is nothing good to teach His Majesty the minister of governing the country. What kind of emperor does His Majesty want to be?"
What kind of emperor do you want to be?
No one in this world has ever asked him this way. Feng Daban only knew that he wanted to be a wise king, which was basically consistent with his mother, Empress Dowager Li, and the teacher has been teaching him how to be a wise king... But no one has ever asked Wanli what kind of emperor he wanted to be.
Although the issue of giving Wanli the right to choose made him feel that he had grown up at this moment, in fact, only at this moment, he spread his hands and said, "No one taught me how to be a mediocre master, I can only be a wise monarch. Jing Haibo also said that I and the Ming Dynasty are in this era, so naturally I must be a wise monarch who can let the Jiuzhou share the style of six contracts and the revival of the Ming Dynasty!"
Chen Mu nodded to signal the emperor that he knew, he stopped, and the emperor also stopped. The eunuchs and Jinyi who followed him were surprised at his boldness, but no one would say anything. Among the many court officials who were chatting alone with the emperor, they had only seen Zhang Juzheng stop while walking with the emperor.
Chen Mu was unconscious of this, and stopped at the vast terrace in front of the Qianqing Palace, one big and one small. He said: "Your Majesty was born in this generation and did nothing. As long as the court maintains normal operation, the Ming Dynasty will be at its peak in the past ten years. Master Zhang Ge's talent is rare in the world, and he is the most famous person in the Ming Dynasty. As long as he follows his teachings, it is not difficult for a wise monarch."
"But it is difficult to be the leader of the Zhongxing who is in charge of the nine provinces and the six contracts. " Chen Mu raised his hand and pointed his head at his head, and finally settled his hand in his heart and said, "The martial minister is the hand of Your Majesty holding the gun, and the civil minister is the hand of Your Majesty's ruler in the world. Only these two things can govern the country, but the world itself cannot be ignored."
"The world itself, military officials and civil officials?"
"No, the hand holding the gun is a military minister, but the gun is not; the hand that governs the world is a civil minister, but the world is not."
"I was a military trainer and used many means to maintain the combat power of the soldiers. I prepared the best meals for them, improved the rewards for military merits as much as possible, and implemented the most severe military laws. However, if it plays the greatest role in the flag army, it is still two systems that are loyal to the royal family and fight for the family and country, and the system of officers and soldiers and officials and the people. These are both honors."
Xiao Wanli narrowed his eyes, unable to say whether he was a doubt or an enlightenment, and murmured: "Officers and soldiers are one, military and civilians are one?"
"The officers and soldiers eat together, not for the last hundred years, but for what the minister eats, what the generals eat, what the flag army eats, or on the other hand, because the flag army eats these, so Chen eats these, without exception; if the military and civilians are integrated, it is not allowed to interfere with the people in the camp. If the people need the army, they have an obligation to help, whether it is to treat diseases and save people or to relieve difficulties, rather than using the heads of fellow villagers to obtain military merits."
"The world itself is the people, officials are the people, merchants are the people, craftsmen are the people, soldiers are the people, and the people are even more the people. What Your Majesty needs to do is to be sympathetic to the people." Chen Mu said, bowing his hand and saying, "As for the accumulated problems that are well-known to the world in the country, please give me some time, so that I can definitely come up with a solution to the accumulated problems in the country overseas!"
