"Then I will thank Mr. Su on behalf of Song Lian first."
Liu Bowen cupped his hands towards Su Jing and said.
Now that I'm back, I can finally do business.
That old boy Song Lian pestered Liu Bowen for glasses several times.
Originally, Song Lian wanted to find Su Jing himself, but Su Jing was not something that ordinary people could find.
"It's just a trivial matter, it's not worth mentioning. For literary figures like you and Mr. Song, I would give you ten or hundreds of pairs, let alone a pair of glasses."
Su Jing said with a smile.
Being praised like this by Su Jing, Liu Bowen's face was also very excited.
He is certainly worthy of the title of "Everyone in the Literary World".
However, it depends on who says it.
"Mr. Su expressed his love, and Old Liu thanked him. Since I have the opportunity to see Mr. Su again today, it is God's will. Since the last farewell in Lishui County, Old Liu has a lot of confusion in his heart, and I hope Mr. Su will not hesitate to answer it."
Liu Bowen looked at Su Jing, his words were sincere and his posture was very low.
The theory of social change is the essence and core content of Marxism.
The deeper Liu Bowen studied, the more mysterious it became.
However, this is not good news for Su Jing.
What he taught Liu Bowen was only half-understood, most of which were ready-made theories.
I'm afraid that my secret will be exposed!
But Su Jing did not reject Liu Bowen, she just said: "Old Liu, as long as I know, I will definitely tell you, but I can't guarantee that I will definitely know."
"Then I'll thank Mr. Su first."
Liu Bowen bowed solemnly to thank him, and then said: "The theory of social change that Mr. Su mentioned before, the capitalist society, is the final form? Or will there be different social forms in the future?"
Is capitalism the ultimate form of society?
As soon as Liu Bowen opened his mouth, it was a very important question.
Su Jing replied: "Old Liu, I don't know this, but what I know is that capitalist society is definitely not the only social form for the advancement of feudal society."
As a Chinese, Su Jing has experienced it personally and can naturally answer in the affirmative.
"Not the only one? What other social forms are there?"
Liu Bowen asked curiously.
Su Jing continued: "Socialism is the existence that corresponds to capitalism. Socialist society, at least from my perspective, is a social system that is more superior than capitalism."
socialism?
It was another novel concept. Liu Bowen felt that Su Jing seemed to know everything.
Su Jing continued: "The so-called socialism means that the entire society should be regarded as a whole, and products, capital, land, assets, etc. should be owned and controlled by society, and their management and distribution are based on public interests."
There were so many things that Su Jing didn't know how to describe, so she could only simply define them.
However, just after hearing this conceptual definition, Liu Bowen fell into deep thought. He murmured: "Society is the whole, and everything is for the benefit of the public..."
In this way, after he pondered for a while, he suddenly looked at Su Jing and said: "Master Su, who is the ruler in socialism?"
Su Jing was stunned for a moment when she heard this question.
"have no idea."
Su Jing finally gave this answer to Liu Bowen.
But just after she finished speaking, Su Jing felt that it was not too appropriate, and added: "Maybe you can think about the answer, although you may not be able to verify the answer in this life."
"Thank you Mr. Su for clarifying my doubts."
Although he didn't get an accurate answer, Liu Bowen still thanked Su Jing.
He is a smart man and has already sensed something from Su Jing's words just now.
"Okay, Lao Liu, let's stop asking for advice. If you ask again, I will be embarrassed."
Su Jing said half-jokingly.
"Okay, Mr. Su, if that's the case, I'll go back."
Liu Bowen nodded and did not continue to stay in Baoyuan Bureau.
Outside the gate of Baoyuan Bureau, Liu Bowen and Liu Lian were standing beside the carriage, and Su Jing was also standing.
"Master Su, there is no need to send it away."
Liu Bowen said to Su Jing.
Su Jing said: "I just want to see you, Old Liu. Besides, there is something I have to tell you."
"Master Su, tell me."
Liu Bowen said seriously.
Su Jing paused and said, "It is impossible for a person to step into the same river forever and look forward."
"Okay, I remember."
Liu Bowen memorized it carefully, and then said to Su Jing.
Then he got on the carriage. After Liu Lian and Su Jing said goodbye, he pulled the reins and the carriage slowly moved forward.
Su Jing watched the carriage go away, her heart churning.
Liu Bowen.
Just now, he and Liu Bowen had a face-to-face communication.
Perhaps this being who is extremely mysterious and wise in the mouths of future generations can really understand some of the future scenery from his few words.
However, Su Jing didn't know whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
What will become of a wise man with vision and thoughts that transcend the times?
Su Jing is worried.
When ideas and times do not match, the consequences are often not very good.
On the carriage, Liu Lian asked: "Father, what does Mr. Su's last sentence mean? Why can't you step into the same river once?"
Liu Bowen said: "The river rushes without hesitation. Even after just a moment, the river is no longer the same river as before. What Mr. Su means is that everything in the world is constantly flowing, and people cannot look at the world with inherent cognition. The world is constantly changing.”
"Just like when we came here, you and I discussed the changes between the past and the present. People today must be stronger than the ancients, and the present is better than the ancients. Look at the actual changes with a developmental perspective."
If Su Jing were here, she would be extremely shocked when she heard Liu Bowen's words.
These connotative thoughts are Liu Bowen's own realization.
But this has clearly transcended the limitations of the times.
For Liu Bowen, perhaps it was a mistake to be born in this era.
"A vision for development?"
Liu Lian still didn't understand, so he just drove on.
Liu Bowen was sitting in the carriage, still thinking about what Su Jing had said to him. What would the destination of this world be like?
…
Forbidden City.
In the Fengxian Hall.
"What a courage!"
Zhu Yuanzhang had just finished reading the contents of the pro-military captain's investigation, which was the specific situation of Zhu Ping's soap business.
You wouldn't know if you didn't investigate. But upon investigation, you didn't expect that it was Yongjia Marquis Zhu Liangzu who was secretly doing the pirated soap business.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have much feeling about pirated soaps.
The advanced idea of intellectual property protection obviously did not exist in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.
It's just that this self-titled Marquis General is doing business secretly.
This is so courageous!
But after getting angry, Zhu Yuanzhang discovered something suspicious.
Zhu Liangzu started the pirated soap business and sold it at half price, which was to seize the market in the hands of his son Zhu Ping. This was an obvious competitive relationship.
But why not long after, he suddenly changed his mind and directly purchased Zhu Xi’s soap.
Or buy it at the original price, large quantity and high price.
There must be something wrong with this.
"Continue to investigate, find out clearly for me, what exactly did Yongjia Hou buy these soaps for?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.
Zhu Yuanzhang will not explode before the matter is thoroughly investigated.
In terms of emotional management, Zhu Yuanzhang is actually quite good.
As an emperor, he should keep his expression straight so that his officials cannot guess their thoughts.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The pro-military captain took the order and immediately went to investigate.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at other investigation materials and found that Zhu Xi had begun to sell soap at low prices.
Combined with the whole process, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were locked.
"What the hell is this kid doing? Why does it feel like he has anticipated everything."
Zhu Yuanzhang said secretly.
He really didn't pay much attention to how Zhu Xiang's soap business was run before, but now after checking it out, he found that there were a lot of strange things in it!
"Your Majesty, I sincerely wish to see you."
The eunuch's voice sounded.
Liu Bowen is back!
Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised. He really didn't expect that the things he asked Liu Bowen to do would be completed so quickly.
In fact, when Liu Bowen came back from Baoyuan Bureau, he did not go home. Instead, he came directly to the palace and went straight to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Sincere uncle Liu Bowen enters the palace again!
This incident surprised all the civil and military officials. They did not expect that Liu Bowen would enter the palace again.
Su Jing's matter has not yet come to an end. Liu Bowen once again entered the palace to face the saint. What does this mean?
Zhu Yuanzhang even asked Liu Bowen about the candidate for the next prime minister before. Now that he has summoned Liu Bowen into the palace, is he asking Liu Bowen to be the prime minister?
Especially the Huaixi Party, they have all kinds of thoughts.
Who made Liu Bowen and Su Jing the enemies of their Huaixi Party?
Liu Bowen stepped on the road of the palace, but his heart was extremely peaceful. He had wanted to come here again countless times and contribute his strength to the Ming Dynasty again.
Because he feels that that is his destiny and what he should do.
Now, Liu Bowen's original intention has not changed, but after many experiences, he has become calmer inside.
Outside Fengxian Hall, Liu Bowen waited for a while, and then the eunuch came out and said with a smile: "Uncle Chengyi, you can go in."
Liu Bowen nodded slightly, and then stepped inside.
"Bowen, tell me quickly, how is the situation?"
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang saw Liu Bowen, he immediately asked impatiently.
"Your Majesty, Liu Ji, is here to see you!"
Liu Bowen first saluted, and then replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Uncle Renyuan has no intention of joining the court as an official. I feel ashamed to trust Your Majesty."
Be straight to the point and straightforward.
On the one hand, this is how Liu Bowen and Zhu Yuanzhang get along, and on the other hand, Liu Bowen does not want to cause trouble to Su Jing because of his uncertain remarks.
Hearing Liu Bowen's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's enthusiastic face suddenly turned cold, but he was not too surprised.
"As expected, what did Su Jing think? Bowen, you should have asked, right?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.
Su Jing's previous attitude was so resolute, Zhu Yuanzhang had already anticipated the possible results of Liu Bowen's trip.
But Zhu Yuanzhang's core purpose was to know what Su Jing was thinking.
Although he could ask about this himself, Lao Zhu could not get over his suspicion.
What Liu Bowen asked was more reliable than what he asked himself.
Liu Bowen nodded and said: "Mr. Su did tell the old minister why he did not want to join the court."
"What is it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Don't say anything about the salary being too low."
In Lao Zhu's view, if the salary is too low, it is just a refusal and an excuse.
With the title of Uncle Renyuan, as long as Su Jing is willing to serve as an official in the court, Zhu Yuanzhang can give him many rewards.
Living on salary?
That is impossible.
Liu Bowen replied: "Mr. Su's meaning is very simple. He does not want to follow Chen's old path."
Liu Bowen’s old path.
Zhuge Liang divided the world into three parts, and Liu Bowen unified the world.
It is indeed a bit miserable for such a great hero who founded the Ming Dynasty to be under house arrest in Yingtian Mansion.
"Liu Ji!"
Zhu Yuanzhang and others' expressions suddenly changed, and their voices became angry.
These words had stung Lao Zhu's suspicious heart.
"Your Majesty, I am here."
Facing the furious Zhu Yuanzhang, Liu Bowen appeared calm, as if nothing had happened.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Bowen, a smile suddenly appeared on his face and said: "Oh, I know, Liu Ji, are you trying to bear grudges against me, venting your dissatisfaction through Su Jing's mouth, right?"
Sure enough, I was still suspicious.
When what Su Jing said reached Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth, it was Liu Bowen who made it up himself.
Liu Bowen replied: "Your Majesty, I did not make any false claims. This is what Mr. Su meant. If your Majesty does not believe it, you can ask Mr. Su personally."
Still calm, Liu Bowen could not see any fear on his face.
These words also made Zhu Yuanzhang calm down. Liu Bowen was not the kind of person who would make up clumsy lies to deceive himself. He had always been.
Moreover, with Su Jing's personality, it is indeed possible for her to say such a thing.
"This kid Su Jing is quite courageous. Why are you following your old path? Am I not treating you well? Liu Ji."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked calmly.
The topic is Su Jing, but the actual discussion is Liu Bowen’s attitude.
Liu Bowen said respectfully: "Your Majesty treats me very well. I am extremely grateful to you."
Say it when it's time to say it, and support it when it's time to praise it.
"hehe."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Bo Wen, you are a little bit want-free now. Why, don't you even want to pretend in front of me?"
As an emperor, Lao Zhu likes his ministers to be upright.
But he didn't like this attitude of being fearless towards his emperor.
The emperor must always be somewhat majestic and feared.
Liu Bowen said: "Your Majesty, I don't dare."
Although he said this, Liu Bowen's expression was very calm.
People can always see through something after experiencing something, let alone a wise man like Liu Bowen.
If Liu Bowen was still limited to the ideological framework of the times before, Liu Bowen now has gone a lot further.
imperial power.
In his heart, it is not so sacred anymore.
He had his own understanding of Su Jing's words just in the carriage compartment.
