"The most unexpected thing about the recent series of edicts issued by my father is that the Royal Prize for Literature and Art will be established, and the maximum prize will be as high as 100,000 yuan in silver coins! The first winners of the top prize were actually Li Yu and Pu Songling! "
"This is simply unbelievable!"
"Although everyone in the world knows their names, who doesn't know how they became famous?"
"Both of these two people are self-degenerate people! They are literati who made their name by charming the rural people and urban workers. Therefore, in the eyes of many literary scholars, they are not ordinary literati."
"And now the imperial court has given them such generous rewards. My father also gave each of them the position of a doctor of the Imperial College."
When Zhu Cikai said this, he looked at Zhu Cican and asked, "Second brother, what do you think?"
Now Zhu Cikai had no choice but to become Zhu Cican's follower because few civil servants were willing to associate with him.
Zhu Cican couldn't refuse his brother, so he let him walk around his house.
At this time, Zhu Cikai started chatting with Zhu Cican.
After saying that, Zhu Cikai asked again: "Does this mean that my father likes these unpopular literati with market vulgarity, and should we get in touch with them?"
Zhu Cican waved his hands and said: "These scholars are not on the same page as us. What we want is that the Han people should also have order in hierarchy. The royal family should have the dignity of the royal family, the scholar-bureaucrats should have the nobility of the scholar-bureaucrats, and the common people should have the common people." Awareness! And the freedom we want is only the freedom to trade, but they not only want the freedom to trade, but also freedom of personality, freedom of thought, and freedom of speech. We recruit them and beware of the future, they give us Play the real freedom card!”
Zhu Cikai understood after hearing this: "That's right! But why did my father bribe them? Second brother, what do you think of this?"
Zhu Cican replied: "Of course it is to follow the distribution principle of maximizing the interests of producers that they admire!"
"do not really understand."
Zhu Cikai replied.
Zhu Cican sighed and further said: "My father's love for the so-called Chinese nation exceeds that of us sons, and even exceeds his own!"
"The imperial court received such a huge compensation this time. It is almost the accumulation of the Rakshasa Kingdom's foreign expansion for decades. It is all in our hands at once. We can't spend it all!"
"But my father is obviously not willing to leave too much compensation to his descendants. He is worried that we will squander it, so he would rather spend it on the national economy and people's livelihood first. He has invested enough money in engineering construction and technology research and development. It is really If he had no place to spend money, he would simply invest in promoting the prosperity of Chinese culture. Naturally, this could only be invested in literati, but he only invested in literati who actively created, especially those who created works that satisfied the common people. Li Yu and Pu Songling are all such representatives! Literary creation is also production."
"I understand, it's true, but wouldn't this force the world's scholars to devote themselves to their studies and create all kinds of poems, articles and even dramas for the world and the people, instead of being willing to flatter the powerful and powerful like us and become our mouthpieces for the sake of huge profits? "
Zhu Cikai asked.
"This is the wisdom of my father!"
"One hundred thousand silver coins! Which powerful person can spend so much money to bribe literati? Only my father can do it! He just wants all the literati in the world to obey his command. My father asks them to create more and work less, so they will We can only create more and work less. Next time, I’m afraid the competition among those who write drama lyrics will be fierce!”
"It's okay, you and I can write it too, so that my father will be happy."
Zhu Cican replied.
…
"Brother, I came to Nagasaki this time for no other reason than to buy some Japanese workers to work in the newly established Ural Province! Now, the imperial court not only wants to build more official roads there, but also builds a state in the Ural Mountain enclosure. Level Uralhan Cultural Park.”
"But in this case, the local Rakshasa people are not enough, and they have to buy some slave labor. Because the Japanese are very obedient, I plan to come to Nagasaki to buy some from the Japanese tooth shop."
After seeing Zhu Ciwei, Zhu Cizhuo blew tea soup and started talking.
Zhu Ciwei laughed because of this: "Nowadays, the imperial court is really very wealthy. They want to build a park in the Ural Mountains. It seems that there is really so much money that there is no place to spend it."
"According to my father's intention, I want to leave the imprint of Han culture everywhere in the world! In this way, even if China declines in the future, future generations will know that their ancestors were once glorious."
"Just like when Huo Qubing was able to seal the wolf to live in Xu Mountain, the imperial court also wanted to erect a Han family monument in the Ural Mountains and let Sun Governor and He Guogong hold a ceremony to worship the heavens there! Erect the two statues of Yan and Huang, and inscribe the Imperial Academy to write Good "Ode to Kaijiang Ural Mountains"."
Zhu Cizhuo said with a smile.
Zhu Ciwei nodded after hearing this: "This is indeed what it should be. Looking at the history, there is no precedent for our Han family king to reach the Ural Mountains! My father's martial arts skills are incomparable even to those of Emperor Qin and Han Dynasty."
"Speaking of which, being able to annihilate more than 200,000 main forces of the Rakshasa Kingdom this time is also related to you, eldest brother. The profits of our father's Royal Capital Bank are shared with us, the royal heirs, so that we can be as rich as the enemy since we were born. , and the eldest brother often uses his own money to fund academics who study chemistry and biology, and the white phosphorus bombs and chlorine gas bombs developed by those academics you funded have played a great role on the battlefield!"
"Without these, it will take a lot of effort to completely annihilate the main force of the Rakshasa Kingdom."
Zhu Cizhuo laughed as he spoke.
Zhu Ciwei said: "You are also thoughtful and spend money on subsidizing geographical exploration. I heard that many of the interesting exploration projects in the Academy of Sciences are your friends! Unlike some people who only use money to support literati. To create momentum for himself, he even gave away royal dignity and gave money to powerful officials."
Zhu Cizhuo knew who Zhu Ciwei was talking about, but he didn't reveal it. He just stood up and threw his hands behind his back, saying rather wildly: "There is no way, who made me like these knowledge and not like power? I I did this purely for fun. Of course, I was focusing on geography and geology at that time, and I also wanted to take a big gamble, thinking that energy would become the easiest business to make money in the future, but I didn’t expect it to be true!”
"It's true that the several large mines you invested outside the customs and overseas are now making a lot of money! Among our brothers, when it comes to wealth, you are the richest! Now, the imperial court is planning to set up a General Administration of Petroleum. Now is your chance to make money again.”
Zhu Ciwei laughed and said.
Then, Zhu Ciwei said with a solemn expression: "But some people are different. They discuss politics with my father and the others in the political hall every day, and I don't know what they have learned."
"Of course they are different from me!"
Zhu Cizhuo replied, and then asked: "But, brother, I am puzzled as to why you also put money into academic research. Don't forget, you are the eldest son!"
