Chapter 423 Only expansion is in the best interest of the empire
Guo Yunhou didn't understand where Li Mingrui came from. He was sure that Qian Qianyi would have a very bad ending. At least he couldn't see any bad ending for Qian Qianyi. Even in the case of the Crown Prince of Java killing the people of Daming, even though Long Yan was furious, did His Majesty still give Qian Qianyi a chance to regain his chief's dignity and fame?
Therefore, in Guo Yunhou's opinion, I am afraid that the current emperor still has the holy relatives to Qian Qianyi.
But in fact, Zhu Youxiao is quite helpless now. He wants to keep Qingliu officials of a certain amount of power to support the basic balance of the Ming Dynasty's administration, but he does not want to keep Qian Qianyi. He even wants to change an official with enough charm and responsibility to become the leader of the conservative school, and then become a banner for the Ming Dynasty officials in the spiritual world.
However, since Qian Qianyi was so frank about his guilt as the prime minister of the cabinet, and Zhu Youxiao did not want to hurt the hearts of other conservative upright ministers because he was too strict with Qian Qianyi, he gave Qian Qianyi a chance, an opportunity to save his position as prime minister, so he was asked to personally deal with the crown prince of Java.
But what Zhu Youxiao didn't expect was that Qian Qianyi's performance once again made him look at him with admiration. He didn't expect that Qian Qianyi not only personally beat the crown prince of Java, but also performed very well. He made an inspiring remark in front of the scholars and people in the capital, and also received praise from countless scholars and people. A newspaper that had been flattering and criticizing him too much also praised the cabinet chief for the first time, and other newspapers and magazines even hyped Qian Qianyi.
I don’t know if Qian Qianyi has his own quarrel in the media industry of the Ming Dynasty. Anyway, Zhu Youxiao can’t talk about Qian Qianyi anymore.
However, Qian Qianyi has changed his former submissive image and has begun to clearly put forward his governing philosophy. The core content of his governing philosophy is to prohibit officials from doing business!
Zhu Youxiao was very pleased that as the ruling man at the center of the empire, it is undoubtedly a good thing to have his own political goal, not to mention that this political goal does not make him feel disgusted, and it seems to be a bit socially practical.
However, when Qian Qianyi, the chief minister of the cabinet, did not act, it also aroused the dissatisfaction of reformists such as Li Mingrui and Guo Yunhou. Now that he started to act, it has caused even more dissatisfaction among these reformists, and even further intensified the struggle between the two factions. However, as a time traveler, what Zhu Youxiao can do is to let the Ming Dynasty go from a small peasant economy to a commodity economy era, and evolve from a traditional empire that relies on land and agriculture as the production mode to a capital empire that relies on technology and industry as the production mode. However, Zhu Youxiao did not know how to avoid the problem of the capital empire.
Because even if these problems are placed today, there is no way to come up with better solutions. Zhu Youxiao was able to foresee the emergence of these problems, but he was unable to accurately raise the solutions to these problems.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao could only balance the two factions. In order to protect the basic rights and interests of the lower-class people as much as possible and the intensification of new social contradictions, he could only treat the political concepts put forward by the political forces of the two factions with caution.
This made Zhu Youxiao very distressed. Now the emperor is not working on questions that already know the answer, but starting to work on questions that have no answers.
Perhaps the only way to deal with it is to do your best to do what you think is the most correct one.
This is what Zhu Youxiao thinks now.
Zhu Youxiao was originally just a doctor who saved lives and was the greatest thing to save a person's life, but he did not know how to guide and save a person's soul.
Now, due to the confusion and contradiction of his own ideas, two ideological extremes emerged throughout the Ming Dynasty, and there were two political forces that were evenly matched by the reformists and the conservatives.
Even outside of politics, the entire Ming Dynasty ideological and cultural class was blooming, and there was no idea that could be called absolutely mainstream. The entire Ming Dynasty ideological community was filled with various conservative, radical new and old ideological crazes.
The ideological liberation movement since the late Ming Dynasty was further fermented after the injection of natural science and the concept of nation-state.
Not only the previous disputes between psychology and Neo-Confucianism and the various academic thoughts that were derived from, but now there are all kinds of new ideas such as egalitarianism, egalitarianism and survival of the world that have emerged.
A large number of cultural clubs and other academic groups that disappeared due to the elimination of the Fushe and other academic groups have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and some new cultural clubs have also begun to appear one after another.
Some people even directly advocated the abandonment of difficult-to-mouth classical Chinese, so that the so-called vernacular Chinese movement would appear in advance, and of course there were many opponents.
In short, at this time, the ideological and academic circles of the Ming Dynasty were scattered, especially social sciences. Natural sciences could at least conduct research according to national needs, but social sciences had various research, and Feng Shui and tomb robbery began to become popular.
Of course, some forward-looking people have begun to worry about the living conditions of urban workers and consider how to protect their rights.
Some people began to focus their wisdom on why the wealth of the Ming Dynasty had increased countless times, but many people were still enduring fatigue and poverty, and then through the analysis of buying and selling, they rose to the analysis of the entire country's macroeconomics. Some people even wrote a letter to Zhu Youjiao directly, saying that if necessary measures were not taken, in the future, there would be a phenomenon that a large number of people had no work to do and a large number of shops and workshops went bankrupt (that is, economic crisis).
Helplessly, these Ming Dynasty geniuses with vision and knowledge do not know that their Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Youxiao was actually "incompetent" in this regard.
The current Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Youxiao has no way to give his people an accurate ideological orientation, and can only allow them to develop, and can only protect the interests of the entire Ming Dynasty as much as possible. He can only protect the rights and interests of the people of the Ming Dynasty as much as possible, such as implementing an eight-hour working system and opening various medical welfare systems.
Even so, Zhu Youxiao still suffered complaints from some selfish capital officials, who complained that His Majesty was too kind. Even Gong Yonggu complained that His Majesty's various so-called policies to protect the rights and interests of workers made the Royal Industrial Company unable to further reduce production costs and could not release its productivity at the greatest extent.
But there is nothing we can do about this. In addition to the largest capitalist of the empire and the emperor of the entire Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao could not ignore the life and death of ordinary people.
However, Zhu Youxiao could not do fraternity. He could only exploit people from other countries without any scrupulously. As long as he earned more wealth from the outside, he would not cause any intensification of social class contradictions and would benefit all classes of the Ming Dynasty.
