Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty-One Compilation of "Er Chen Biography" and Strengthening Education

After Zhu Youxiao sighed so, he summoned Yuan Keli, Xu Guangqi, and Bi Ziyan, three auxiliary ministers, to the imperial court, and let these people read Feng Quan's remarks to Nurhaci.

"According to Feng Quan's statement, most of the powerful and noble gentry in the Ming Dynasty were not willing to make the common people of the Ming Dynasty rich, because if there were no hungry people in the world, the wine and meat of the rich would become less fragrant. What do you think about this statement?"

Zhu Youxiao also started asking at this time.

Yuan Keli replied straightforwardly: "It's really a waste of reading the books of sages! As a scholar and a literati, if you only enjoy yourself, then what's the benefit of reading? It's better not to read!"

"If everyone can wear rich clothes and food, then there is nothing strange about it. It is difficult to compare wealth. If everyone can wear rich cars and BMWs when they go out, then there is nothing strange about it. It is difficult to compare wealth. But this does not mean that the rich people can prevent the poor from getting rich, and would rather let the endless food and meat rot than sell them to the poor. This is undoubtedly a waste of natural resources, and abolishing the above and the above and against the above and the below and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and the above and

"Now, because the common people in the world have increased their income, the prosperity of business is far greater than before. All the powerful and noble gentry, all businessmen, make a lot of profits, and are richer than before. If they are not satisfied, just want to make themselves richer and not want the people to be richer, then it is not only selfish, but also very short-lived. If the people do not follow the wealth, where will their wealth grow?"

"So, your Majesty, from the perspective of my ministers, what Feng Quan said does not mean that the current Ming Dynasty is in conflict with the hearts of the people. Anyone with insight will know that the Ming Dynasty today requires the people to be richer and live a better life, so that the official industries of the court can have more income and make the world's business more prosperous. If it is just because it cannot accept the same as the common people, it can only show that this person is ignorant and selfish, as Yuan Fu said, he has read the books of sages in vain!"

Xu Guangqi followed and said a lot.

Zhu Youxiao could hear that his core idea was: if the common people were not allowed to be as rich as powerful and gentry, and even enjoy the same treatment, how could they stimulate consumption and where would the profits of the official industry increase?

Undoubtedly, as the treasury income of the Ming Empire mainly relies on commodity economy, and after Xu Guangqi and other profiteers also relied on commodity economy to increase their income, Xu Guangqi and others also changed their thoughts. They began to support the improvement of the social status of the common people because of the interests of the court and themselves, allowing them to be frugal before they gain fame, that is, they can become the ruling class.

"Xu Aiqing said so much. I have said a long time ago that I established the Xingming Society, not on a whim, but to follow the general trend and the will of the people. What Feng Quan said can only represent the ideas of some powerful and noble gentry. However, our Ming Dynasty is more common people, and powerful gentry who do not agree that enslave others is the right way. People like Feng Quan are willing to surrender to the enemy and sell their country and become slaves of the barbarians because they want to enslave others. It is better for these people to surrender to the enemy. The so-called different ways and do not plan for each other. People like them betray the Ming Dynasty and come together can be considered as a similar smell. In the future, they will give me a chance to catch them all in one go!"

After hearing Xu Guangqi say it, Zhu Youxiao nodded and started talking too.

"Your Majesty, His Majesty, is a little self-deprecating, even a god cannot save you."

Bi Ziyan replied.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and said, "But if you can save it, you still have to save it. To educate people's hearts, if we don't occupy it, the enemy will occupy it. If Nurhaci and Lin Danhan really want to enslave the people of the world together, especially the temptation of our Han family, to win over those ignorant, selfish and even backward-minded powerful and noble gentry as their lackeys, it will undoubtedly cause greater trouble to the Ming Dynasty and cause greater turmoil. Therefore, we have to snatch ahead of them and let more people change their ideas and get rid of ignorance and backwardness."

"When the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, a large number of Han people were willing to be their lackeys. Some Zhang Hongfan even took it as a pride. But after the Southern Song Dynasty, the monument was erected to record it, thinking that it could make future generations admire their achievements. It can be seen that from then on, we Han people had no idea of ​​a country or a nation, even the scholars and officials were the same. This is certainly related to the fact that the Zhao Song Dynasty lost the hearts of the Han people in the north when they were more peaceful, but it also proved further that at that time, many people did not think about the country and the nation, and every time the barbarians entered

In China, there must be a large number of Han people who are lackeys, and even more than the number of invading the barbarians themselves. Although it is related to the corruption of the rulers, it shows that we, Han people, lack people who share the same hatred of the enemy! Even if everyone has the idea of ​​a country and a nation, why, although there are many Han people in history, they were once two-legged sheep and fourth-class people of the barbarians! Therefore, we rulers must strengthen this education, so that all Han people in the world know their country and their tribe, and are willing to defend their country and their tribe."

Zhu Youxiao continued to say a few words.

The regents present all listened.

Because they now need this theory to prove the correctness of their current rule in this way.

After all, Yuan Keli, Xu Guangqi, Bi Ziyan and others were unwilling to let the Ming Dynasty collapse or even decline.

Their family is too ties with the Ming Empire because they have invested in various official industries. If the Ming Dynasty is destroyed, other dynasties will not give them so much wealth. After all, other dynasties will first share the benefits to their own powerful people, and their families are in a partnership with the imperial court. Therefore, the more the court's income increases, the more they will share.

They were more willing to be loyal to the Ming Dynasty of Zhu Youxiao than in history.

But they themselves did not realize this, but they did now accept the ideas expressed by the emperor without questioning them.

"Your Majesty's words are reasonable. In the past, the monarch and ministers all emphasized the virtues of human ethics too much, and ignored the feelings of compatriots of the same clan. Wei the country is the idea of ​​the Wei family. If a foreign race really enters China, even if he is a minister, he is just a lackey. He will never be free as a civilian in his own clan."

Yuan Keli agreed and said something at this time.

Zhu Youxiao nodded, "Yes, we cannot ignore the feelings of our fellow citizens. We rulers should love all the people of our own tribe and country, and cannot divide them into different levels. After all, everyone is the descendants of Yan and Huang. Otherwise, once we ignore the feelings of our fellow citizens and regard them as slaves, it will undoubtedly cause people of the same clan to be disunited, so that the country will be destroyed by foreign races, and make the whole clan, regardless of the noble and low, be slaves of foreign captives!

Feng Quan and others must try their best to transform and educate them as much as possible. If they can transform and educate them successfully, it will be considered a merit. If they still cannot and are stubborn, they will be eliminated!

As for how to educate?

First of all, we must start with the young people, so that all the young people in the world know that their country is the Ming Dynasty and their clan is the China, know what the country is, know that their property rights, life rights, etc. are only given this right because they are protected by the state, and they have human dignity, not slaves to others! If the country is destroyed, they will definitely be slaves to the destruction. At that time, there will be no right to be a human being. If you want to safeguard your right to be a human being, you must first protect your country and even transform your country."

Then, Zhu Youxiao continued to instruct: "I ordered Hanlin Temple to immediately compile a book of "Biography of Two Ministers" to include Zhang Hongfan and other scholars who had planned for other dynasties in it to tell how he caused his compatriots to fall into the suffering of the country to awaken the world, and to compile Feng Quan into it, even if he is still alive. In addition, he compiled a book of "Biography of Loyal Ministers" to record the struggle of Yue Fei and others for the country and nation, and to convey his loyalty and the efforts of these loyal ministers, how to prevent the people of the country from becoming slaves. For example, compare the Han people of the Southern Song Dynasty and the Han people of the Yuan Dynasty to praise Yue Fei's achievements in protecting his country, all in plain language, and it should be easy to understand so that all the children and the people of the children know the truth."

"Abide by the order!"
