Chapter 670 Seal the Ural Mountains and prevent the literati as the mouthpiece of the powerful
"The most unexpected thing about the series of imperial edicts issued by the father is to establish the Royal Literature and Art Award, and the highest prize is as high as 100,000 yuan silver coins! The first winners were Li Yu and Pu Songling!"
"This is simply incredible!"
"Although everyone in the world knows the names of these two people, who doesn't know what names these two people rely on?"
"These two are both self-degenerate people! They are literati who are famous by fascinating the people of the country and the workers of the town. Therefore, in the eyes of many literary scholars, they are not a good scholar."
"And now the court has given them such a generous reward, and the father also gave them two idle officials who were a doctor of the Imperial College."
Zhu Cixuan said this and looked at Zhu Cican and asked, "Second brother, what do you think?"
Now, because Zhu Ciluo has no civil servants willing to interact with him, he has to become Zhu Cican's follower.
Zhu Cican didn't want to reject his brothers, so he let him walk around his mansion.
At this time, Zhu Ciluo started chatting with Zhu Cican because of this.
After saying that, Zhu Cihui asked again: "Does this mean that the father likes these slutty literati who are vulgar and not good at the market? Should we get in touch with them?"
Zhu Cican waved his hand and said, "These literati are not on the same journey as us. What we want is that the Han people should be in order and orderly. The royal family should have the dignity of the royal family, and the scholars should have the nobleness of the scholars and officials, and the people should have the enlightenment of the people! The freedom we want is only freedom of transactions, but they not only need freedom of transactions, but also freedom of personality, freedom of thought, and freedom of speech. We recruit them and beware of the future. They will play us with real freedom cards!"
After hearing this, Zhu Cifeng understood: "That's right! But why did the father bribe them? Second brother, what do you think about this?"
Zhu Cican replied: "Of course, it is to follow the principle of distribution of producer interests that they advocate!"
"I don't understand very much."
Zhu Cihuai replied.
Zhu Cican sighed and further said: "The father's love for the so-called Chinese nation is more than that of us sons, and even more than himself!"
"The imperial court received such a huge amount of compensation this time, which was almost the accumulation of the foreign expansion of Rakshasa Kingdom over the decades, and it was all in our hands at once, and it was endless!"
"But the father obviously did not want to leave too much compensation to his descendants. He was worried that we would squander it, so he would rather spend it on national economy and people's livelihood, engineering construction, technology research and development, and money. If there is really no place to spend it, he simply invested in promoting the prosperity of Chinese culture. Naturally, this can only be invested in literati, but he only invested in literati who actively created literati, especially literati who created some works that satisfy the people. Li Yu and Pu Songling are all representatives of this kind! Literary creation is also production."
"I understand, it's true, but in this way, wouldn't it force all the scholars in the world to create various poetry, articles, and even dramatic lyrics for the world and the people, and would not be willing to flatter us and be our mouthpiece for the sake of profit?"
Zhu Ci asked.
"This is the wisdom of the father!"
"100,000 silver coins! Which powerful man can buy literati and poets with such a big investment? Only the father can do it! He wants all the literati in the world to follow his command. If the father asks them to create more and do less, they can only create more and do less. Next, they are afraid that those who write dramatic lyrics will have fierce competition!"
"It's okay, let me write it too, so that my father will be happy."
Zhu Cican replied.
...
"Brother, I'm not going to come to Nagasaki for anything else. I'm mainly buying some Japanese workers to work in the newly established Ural Province! Now, the imperial court not only wants to build an additional Guan Road there, but also build a national-level Uralhan Cultural Park in the Ural Mountains."
"But in this way, the local Rakshasa people are not enough, so they have to buy some slave labor. Because the Japanese are very obedient, they plan to come to Nagasaki to find Japanese Yashang to buy some."
After seeing Zhu Ciwei, Zhu Cizhuo spoke while blowing tea soup.
Zhu Ciwei laughed, "Now, the imperial court is really generous. Everyone wants to build a park in Ural Mountain. It seems that the money is really too much to spend."
"According to the father's intention, we must leave a mark of Han culture in every place in the world! In this way, even if China declines in the future, future generations will know that their ancestors were once glorious."
"Just just like when Huo Qubing could seal the wolf's mountain, the court also wanted to erect the Han family monument on Ural Mountain, so that Sun Shishi and Heguo Duke would hold a ceremony to worship the sky there! Two statues of Yan and Huang were erected, and the Hanlin Academy wrote the "Fu on the Ural Mountains of Kaijiang"."
Zhu Cizhuo said with a smile.
After hearing this, Zhu Ciwei nodded: "This is indeed true. Looking at the history, there is no precedent for the fact that our Han Dynasty king's army can reach Ural Mountain! Even the martial arts of the father are incomparable to the Qin Emperor and Han Wu."
"Speaking of this, this time it can wipe out more than 200,000 main forces of the Rakshasa Kingdom. It is also related to you, the eldest brother. The benefits of the father's Royal Capital Bank share with us, the royal heirs, so that we can be rich from birth to the country. Therefore, the eldest brother often uses his own money to support scholars in chemistry and biology. The white phosphorus bombs and chlorine bombs created by the scholars you funded played a great role in the battlefield!"
"If there is no such thing, it will take a little more effort to wipe out the main force of the Rakshasa Kingdom."
Zhu Cizhuo laughed as he said that.
Zhu Ciwei said: "You are also a deliberate person. You spend your money on funding geographical exploration. I heard that there are several important explorations in the Academy of Sciences now. Everyone is your friend! Unlike some people, they only use money to raise literati and poets, build momentum for themselves, and even don't have royal dignity and give money to powerful ministers of the powerful clan."
Zhu Cizhuo knew who Zhu Ciwei was talking about, so he didn't expose it. He just stood up and threw his hand, and said in a very unrestrained manner: "There is no way. Who made me like these knowledge and don't like power? I did this purely for fun. Of course, at that time, I focused on geography and geology, and wanted to gamble. I thought that energy could become the easiest business to make money in the future. I didn't expect it to be true!"
"This is because you have made a lot of money in several large mines outside the pass and overseas! Among us brothers, if you want to say wealth, you are the richest! Now, the court is preparing to set up the General Administration of Petroleum, which will be another opportunity for you to make money."
Zhu Ciwei laughed and started talking.
Then, Zhu Ciwei said with a serious expression: "But some people are different. They discuss politics with their father and others every day in the Political Affairs Hall, and I don't know what they have learned."
"They are naturally different from me!"
