"Bowen, you really can't understand?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and stared at Liu Bowen, with a hint of coolness in his words.
He could understand some things, but Liu Bowen actually said he couldn't understand?
Isn't this deceiving yourself?
"Reporting to your Majesty, I really don't understand."
Liu Bowen seemed not to hear the anger contained in Zhu Yuanzhang's words, and answered the same.
Zhu Yuanzhang slowly started to pace in Fengxian Hall. For a while, the entire Fengxian Hall was silent except for the sound of Lao Zhu's pacing.
Liu Bowen remained slightly bowed and motionless.
Time passed like this minute by minute, no matter whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang or Liu Bowen, no one broke the silence.
Finally, after an unknown amount of time passed, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped. He looked at Liu Bowen and said:
"Liu Ji, you said you don't understand, then I would like to hear what you don't understand?"
This time, Zhu Yuanzhang called Liu Bowen by his first name and did not hide his emotions too much.
Liu Bowen lowered his head and replied slowly: "Your Majesty, the three major industries mentioned by Mr. Su, in my opinion, are all things in the future. Since they are things in the future, I naturally don't understand."
Things to come?
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his expression immediately changed and he said, "How do you say this?"
Liu Bowen continued to lower his head and replied: "Although Chen Guan's theory of these three major industries is related to the Ming Dynasty, except for the first industry, the rest cannot be realized in the current Ming Dynasty."
"In other words, the current Ming Dynasty only has the primary industry."
"And in Mr. Su's theory, the three complement each other. I may not understand it because it is something in the future."
Liu Bowen's explanation was not complicated, and Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts were not relieved much.
But if Su Jing were here and heard these words, she would definitely be shocked by Liu Bowen's wisdom.
The knowledge related to the three major industries was what Su Jing explained when she was asked by Zhu Biao.
In fact, Su Jing only elaborated these contents simply to clarify Zhu Biao's doubts, and the relationship with Ming Dynasty was only superficial.
And if you really want to use the three major industry theories to guide the economic development of a country, you must at least have experienced the industrial revolution.
The main core of the secondary industry is industry, and handicrafts alone are not enough.
The feudal dynasty with insufficient productivity did not have the foundation for the birth of the three major industrial theories.
Since there is no foundation for the theory, everything is just a castle in the air.
However, the castle in the air that Su Jing mentioned is a castle in the air that will be proven in the future.
But now, Liu Bowen saw this "truth" just through what Zhu Biao relayed. How could this not shock Su Jing?
Sure enough, no matter what era a smart person is, they are always beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Liu Bowen has realized the fundamental reason that fetters the development and progress of the times: the backwardness of productivity.
After listening to Liu Bowen's words, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer doubted it.
Things to come?
Su Jing can know the future, and Zhu Yuanzhang has already learned this personally.
"So Bowen, do you think Su Jing's argument has merit?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's change of face is still very fast.
He looked cold just now, but now he is asking with some eagerness.
Liu Bowen shook his head and said: "Mr. Su's eloquent remarks must be far-sighted, but I am stupid and have not yet seen how to apply them. Perhaps your Majesty can ask Mr. Su for advice."
This is not because he is pretending to be stupid, but because Liu Bowen knows that the Ming Dynasty has not reached the form in Su Jing's theory of three major industries, so he cannot truly understand it.
Hearing Liu Bowen's answer, Lao Zhu felt a little disappointed.
Are you asking Su Jing again?
But Liu Bowen has already said that this is something that can only be used in the future.
"That's all, let's do this for now, Bowen, you can go back."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and let Liu Bowen go.
"Yes, I will retire."
Liu Bowen retreated slowly and left Fengxian Hall.
Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Biao's letter and was still struggling in his heart, just because of Su Jing's conclusion in the three major industrial theories:
The development of the secondary industry determines whether Ming Dynasty can maintain its current status.
Although today's Ming Dynasty has just been established, it is a celestial kingdom. The surrounding small countries are not worth mentioning compared with the vast territory of Ming Dynasty.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, Ming Dynasty was the strongest.
But according to Su Jing, if Ming Dynasty's secondary industry cannot develop, then Ming Dynasty will gradually fall behind.
This is unacceptable to Lao Zhu.
In fact, this is how history develops.
China's backwardness really started in the Ming Dynasty, when it failed to catch up with the world trend.
In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, in terms of social ideology, the sprouts of capitalism began to appear in China, but they were not shaken due to the deep-rooted feudal ideas.
In terms of external exploration, Zheng He's voyages to the West in the Ming Dynasty were not to expand overseas colonies, but to show off the so-called national prestige. However, they disappeared due to the country's poor economic strength.
There was also a deviation in the direction of history. When the capitalist revolution in the West initially took shape, the Ming Dynasty was overthrown by the Jurchens.
In terms of military affairs, the superiors of the Ming Dynasty regarded Western technology as a plaything and did not pay attention to development.
Economically, due to the feudal social system, it has always been a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy with little technological and philosophical content.
Of course, Lao Zhu didn't know this, he just had an inexplicable trust in Su Jing's words.
Therefore, now that Liu Bowen was gone, Zhu Yuanzhang still had no intention of giving up.
Imperial College.
A large group of eunuchs, doctors, Dianshu, Dianshu and other academic officials were all summoned by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Each of them was quite nervous, apprehensive but quite excited.
His Majesty summoned them, there must be something big going on.
For them, this is an opportunity!
However, something that would allow Zhu Yuanzhang to summon everyone at once would definitely not be simple.
Soon, Zhu Yuanzhang's personal eunuch arrived here holding the imperial edict, and all the Imperial Academy supervisors immediately knelt down to receive the edict.
"Blessed by heaven."
The imperial edict began to be read out, and the beginning was basically full of clichés.
The core Imperial Academy Supervisors also heard very clearly that they would be asked to write their comments. As for the comments on the article, someone would soon hand it out to them one by one.
This made all the Imperial Academy supervisors look at each other with confusion.
Read the article?
what is this?
Those who can serve in the Imperial College are those with outstanding knowledge.
It’s just an article, is it worth such an effort?
They were confused in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show anything, they could only accept the order.
Soon, someone handed the copied article to them. It was the copy of Zhu Biao's letter, but Zhu Biao's remarks were excluded, leaving only what Su Jing had said.
In the Imperial College, the only sound left was the sound of paper being turned.
Su Jing's discussion of the three major industries was actually not very long, but the things discussed in it made these Imperial Academy Supervisors scratch their heads and heads one by one.
This is a genre they have never seen or been exposed to.
A group of people occasionally raised their heads, wanting to communicate with the people around them, but all they got was shaking their heads.
Everyone doesn't understand it very well.
But this is Zhu Yuanzhang's request. Everyone must write their thoughts after reading it. Even if they don't understand it, they must find a way to understand it.
Some people have already stood up to look for books.
And some people are still thinking hard and trying to get something out of it.
If Su Jing were here, she would definitely laugh out loud when she saw this scene.
Isn't it just that I pulled something casually? That's it.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eunuch companion glanced around for a few times, and the state of everyone was reflected in his eyes, and then he left with satisfaction.
When reporting, you can't just say that the imperial edict is passed on and that's it.
Anyone who can become Zhu Yuanzhang's personal eunuch must not be a fool.
the other side.
Lishui County Paper Mill, the seventh day of training. This is the last day of employee training and the day of graduation.
Su Jing didn't do anything to preach today. She just slightly improved the problems discovered yesterday and passed them on.
At this time, the paper mill seemed to have entered into the rhythm of formal production.
Everyone is at their post and in good order.
Su Jing and Zhu Biao stood in the center of the workshop, looking at the busy workers around them.
"Okay, it's finally basically taken shape."
Su Jing nodded slightly, quite satisfied with the results of seven days.
Although there is no mechanization, the production efficiency has been improved several times compared with the previous one.
This will be a template, and these workers will also become the core employees for future expansion.
Su Jing never thought about retraining every time she opened a new paper mill.
Zhu Biao on the side was no longer shocked, but the excitement in his heart was still there.
In just seven days, a papermaking workshop was transformed into what it looked like in front of her. Su Jing's ability was really powerful.
"Master Su's ability really amazes the students."
Zhu Biao said with emotion to Su Jing: "If the Ming Dynasty governs the people like Master Su, it will definitely be strong and everlasting!"
Zhu Biao has a great vision and only thinks that this scene is what Ming Dynasty should look like.
Everyone works extremely seriously in their own positions.
Ming Dynasty also gave them due rewards, neatly and efficiently.
Su Jing directly broke his imagination and shook his head: "No, it can't be done."
"Why?"
Zhu Biao asked puzzledly.
Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and said, "Then how do you think I did it?"
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment, but he immediately started to think about it and replied after a moment: "Master Su is worried about the people and treats them so favorably. They should repay Master Su."
In Zhu Biao's opinion, Su Jing was very kind to these workers.
Under such conditions, it is no wonder that these workers are obedient.
Su Jing smiled and said: "Do you really think so? Then let me ask you, if you replace me with you, and use the employee training knowledge I have taught you, can you make them what they are now."
Zhu Biao was stunned.
He thought about it carefully, shook his head and said, "I'm afraid the students can't do it."
Even though he had learned how to conduct employee training, he also knew what Su Jing had promised these workers.
But he was really not sure if he wanted to recreate it.
"Why can't it be done?"
Su Jing continued to ask: "You can be like me. I have taught you how to do it. You can also give it to them. Why can't you do it?"
Zhu Biao was silent, not knowing how to answer.
Su Jing was not in a hurry, and just changed the question and asked: "Niu Yi, do you believe me?"
"Of course I believe it."
Zhu Biao nodded immediately.
Su Jing said again: "Then do you think they believe me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Biao immediately understood.
He said: "Master Su, what do you mean is that they believe in Master Su, so that's why Master Su can do this?"
"I understand that people cannot stand without trust. There is no trust between me and these workers, so I can't do it."
Su Jing nodded and said: "Yes, if you don't trust, you can't stand. I think you've heard about the matter of buying horse bones for a thousand dollars. Trust is the simplest and most difficult thing. For me, personal trust is easier." Establish."
"But for the entire Ming Dynasty, establishing trust is a difficult thing, because it is not something that one person can do. When all the people trust the Ming Dynasty government, the thing that is formed must be credibility."
"The Ming Dynasty, at least the Ming Dynasty now, cannot establish effective credibility."
