Chapter 109: North-South Divide
It's not that He Xi cherishes his own things.
But He Xi really couldn't figure out why he traveled through time.
this point is very important.
He Xi also knows that the study of time and space will be the forefront of science in later generations, and it may not be able to explain it clearly. It is even clearer that without the support of realistic technical conditions, how much hardware support is needed for research in this area can only be reduced to fantasy.
And if this matter is announced, it will have two major impacts. First, it will be counterproductive. Without a research process, directly reaching these conclusions will limit the development of science and technology in this world. Second, it will be the matter of time travel. , will definitely and will definitely become a research hotspot, even the focus of the focus, which will bias the scientific research atmosphere and distort all technology trees.
Regardless of the established position, He Xi was not sure that the technology tree in the previous life was correct. But He Xi knew that the probability of traveling through time was too small.
Or it would be the best way to pass it on as a secret.
Based on this idea, He Xi needed to process this batch of books before releasing them. This method of processing is to wash the manuscript.
Princess Anqing cannot handle this kind of thing. Only He Xi is the right person to do it. We must have a deep understanding of the significance of this batch of books in the future, and also understand the reality of this era. Combining both ends, we must clean up the contents of these books, and remove the contents that are not in line with the times without affecting the If the content is not expressed properly, it will be deleted. It is also necessary to passivate some things that are too allergic.
In short, no one else except He Xi can do this.
It's just a matter of the future. As for whether He Yuansi will be allowed to learn these things, He Xi has not made up his mind yet. It depends on the situation. It depends on whether He Yuansi succeeds or not,
If He Yuansi was useless, it would be impossible for He Yuansi to even take a look at this thing.
It's just that it's impossible to tell Princess Anqing about this.
What kind of person is Princess Anqing? He Xi and He Xi have been married for many years and have already understood this. In the eyes of later generations, she is the kind of feudal little old lady who, although enlightened, is actually still conservative. In his opinion, what He Xi brought was the belongings of the He family, and it was helpless to show it to Zhu Yuanzhang. But He Xi's things are the secrets of the He family. They must be inherited by the descendants of the He family and must be inherited.
This is the He family's greatest wealth. If He Xi talks nonsense with Anqing Company about this, Princess Anqing will never agree.
Don't forget that Princess Anqing gave in to He Xi in many things. At most, she lost her temper and it was over. It's not that Princess Anqing really has no persistence at all. The reason why Princess Anqing gave in to He Xi is because Princess Anqing has been taught to follow female virtues since she was a child. Really touch Princess Anqing's bottom line and see if Princess Anqing will object.
A princess is a princess after all, and is different from ordinary women.
He Xi said: "It's too early to talk about this matter now. Let's wait until the children grow up."
He Xi comforted Princess Anqing and sent someone to take Princess Anqing back to rest.
He was sitting alone in his study, deep in the middle of a long exam.
He considered the situation before him.
If the prince previously supported the Ming Dynasty's reforms, there seems to have been a change. It's just that the prince has changed. He Xi was prepared for the change in the prince's attitude. Two things.
The first aspect is the prince himself. He lacks courage. Naturally, he is willing to let him improve things. If there is one thing, it can be done smoothly. The prince is determined not to do something, but if something requires facing unfavorable circumstances in order to accomplish it, the prince will fall into hesitation.
This is part of the prince's nature, seeking perfection and success, which means he lacks the courage to face failure and clean up the mess.
If there is a high probability that something will not be accomplished, it will be difficult for the prince to make up his mind to start.
This is why the prince is a conservative king. For such a huge whole as the Ming Dynasty, being cautious and less fussy can be regarded as the characteristics of a Confucian Mingjun.
On the other hand, it is the mutual influence between politicians and their subordinates.
Before He Xi came, Zhu Yuanzhang's vision for the future was to transform the Ming Dynasty from the era of Wu Xun to a civil service system. After all, after five generations, the result of warlords' governance has already announced the fact that military men purely used military power to taint the highest authority in the central government. Power has lost its possibility. Even if there is a moment of turmoil, it will not win the hearts of the people. m.
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew this.
In history, it can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate to use the most decisive means to eradicate the noble group. Therefore, the team he left for future generations is the foundation of a civilian regime.
Although the arrival of He Xi affected the history of Hongwu fourteen years later, the prince was a disciple of Song Lian before the founding of the country and had already begun to prepare to unite with the civil service system. From the beginning of the prince's life, among the ministers around him, the most influential ones were the civil servants. As for the Xunchen, most of them were the second generation of Xunchen.
The prince's civil and military team values civility over military affairs, and the prince's ideology is more in line with Song Lian and others.
These are things that are difficult to change.
In addition, the prince has assisted the government for so many years and has almost become the representative of the civil service system. The civil service group is the prince's power team. At the same time, the prince must also ensure the rights and interests of his own political team. In the past, when the reform had just begun, many things had not yet unfolded and conflicts could still be hidden. But now, He Xi is advancing rapidly in the north, and many things are almost obvious. Anyone with a clear eye can see it.
For example, How Xi's business tax policy is based on the company system, just like the Ming Dynasty's rule is based on the gentry clan. There are so many commercial taxes in Beijing, plus customs duties, salt taxes, and other taxes. Generally speaking, the rapid growth of taxes other than land taxes has made many people see the possibility that the people who are indispensable to the Ming Dynasty are not gentry clans, but big businessmen and big capital who control commercial capital.
Whether this change is beneficial to the Ming Dynasty is one thing, but whether it is beneficial to them is the most important. This fundamental transformation allowed the businessman they looked down upon to ride on their head, and everything they had mastered before became useless paper.
In the past, the scholar-bureaucrats below all thought that no matter how powerful Zhu Yuanzhang was, he was just a person, and he would die one day. The people below were not willing to fight with Zhu Yuanzhang to death. When Zhu Yuanzhang died, everything would change back. The so-called To bring order out of chaos.
But now they find that if they don’t take action, they won’t be able to take action in a few years.
This is the reason for the changes in the South today.
And He Xi does not belittle himself. No one cares about the new or old laws when he is doing these things in Beijing. Everyone is busy making money. But this represents the success of He Xi's reform, because so many people benefited from the new law.
Many of them don't actually insist on reform from the bottom of their hearts, but they don't refuse money. Many people even think about making a fortune, and after the court changes its tune in the future, it will not be too late to talk about other things.
But the problem is that many times, people’s bodies are more honest than their mouths.
Moreover, people feel far more pain about loss than happiness. When you get something, you feel good, but after you lose it, the pain is doubled or even more.
Therefore, anyway, the benefits obtained after this project in Beijing are the money made under He Xi's new system. They may not feel it themselves, but the vast majority of people are actually interested in the new law. They are already inseparable from the new law. It can even be said that they themselves do not feel it, but once Zhu Yuanzhang dies, the group of people who oppose the new law will really gain power and take action, and they will never condone it. No one who stands on the side of the new law will be spared.
After all, party struggle has been like this since ancient times.
It's just that the current political atmosphere of the Hongwu Dynasty is much better than in history. Although everyone knows that Zhu Yuanzhang is jealous, in fact, they don't know that a true party is no better than a jealous monarch.
Even more cruel.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang still had a purpose and reason. Although he killed many people, it was not without reason. But when the party struggle became serious and he killed people, he really had no bottom line.
Some people died, but not completely...
