Chapter 673 The Prosperity of the Celestial Dynasty in the Eyes of Japanese Scholars
Capital.
"Mutou, we finally arrived at the capital of Ming Kingdom. This capital of Ming Kingdom is really magnificent!"
Tada Ei took the Amami suitcase with an excited expression and pointed at the Arrow Tower at Muto.
Masamune Muto also replied: "Yes! If you don't know how big the country is if you don't have it here, you won't know how big the country is! No wonder those people take the initiative to be the people of the Ming Dynasty and hate their Yamato identity."
"Mutou, do you think we can defeat Ming Kingdom in the future, drive all Ming people out of our Yamato and regain Nagasaki?"
Ei Tada also asked about Muto's authenticity.
Muto Master replied helplessly: "I don't know!"
Then, Masamon Muto continued to say helplessly: "In history, in the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era, I tried to challenge the Ming Kingdom once. Although I destroyed North Korea that time, I still failed to defeat the Ming Kingdom in the end! Maybe compared with the Ming Kingdom, I am really like an ant compared to Kunpeng, but should the ant be bullied by Kunpeng?"
"Mutou, sometimes, I think, it would be great if I was really born in Ming Dynasty, then I wouldn't have to suffer with you, especially after coming to Ming Dynasty and seeing such a big gap between Yamato and Ming Dynasty, I was really desperate!"
"I can also understand why some of our classmates are proud of actively becoming the people of the Ming Dynasty. Now they hate all the cultural symbols about Yamato in themselves. Isn't it another reaction after despair?"
Tada Ei said.
Muto Masamune murmured: "One leaf, one bodhi, one sand, one world."
Then, Masamune Muto turned around and asked Tada Ei: "You said that at some time in another world, would my Japanese be envied by the people of the Ming Dynasty? They would also feel inferior after seeing everything about my Japanese?"
"How is that possible!"
Tada Eik replied without thinking: "From rationality, it should be difficult for us to be envied by Akiko."
Muto authentic said "yes".
He had no confidence to refute Tada Ei's answer, and only changed the topic: "I remember the information of Mingguo mentioned that their capital was a large number of residents and a large demand for coal and wood, which caused serious ecological damage to the capital. But now, it is full of green mountains and clear waters and pleasant scenery. I believe that the improvement now has been nourishing their own land with the blood of other countries!"
"This is also because they are strong. You just said that we destroyed North Korea. I believe we also nourished our own territory with North Korea's blood."
Tada Ei replied.
"It's not that simple! If we can achieve the prosperity and prosperity of the country just by plundering, then our country will not be as powerful as the Toyotomi Hideyoshi era after destroying North Korea! There are deeper problems here."
Muto replied.
“What’s the problem?”
Tada Ei asked.
"I don't know what the problem is, but this is the purpose of my coming to Mingguo to work and study!"
"I want to know how their Ming Dynasty could achieve wealth for everyone through plunder. What are the advantages of their system? If it is because their monarch can rule, then why can their monarchs personally fight and hold power alone, but our emperor cannot rule, and the power is still in the hands of the shogunate!"
"Although the Ming Dynasty does not allow us international students to study their science and engineering, I believe we can find the answers we want from their literature and history!"
Muto said.
"You are right, I believe we will definitely find it, Muto-kun!"
Tada Ei nodded solemnly and replied.
For a moment, the two walked into the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
"Boss, what are you afraid of? Isn't it just a complaint? If the Censorate does not accept the case, we will sit in front of the Censorate's gate until dawn!"
"How come you bosses are so timid! This is your factory. The official from the Wanping Branch of the Ming Bank asked you for bribes and was willing to save you. Then why are you willing to endure it? Just sue it directly. You don't dare. We will sue you. At worst, we can just sit in a lie together!"
"My Ming Dynasty allowed the people to file a complaint at the Censorate. It was the emperor's imperial law that no one could stop it!"
At this time, a group of Ming workers pulled an obese man to come from Muto Masato and Tada Ei.
Masato Muto and Ei Tada couldn't help but watch it.
At the same time, the Jinyiwei who passed by stopped the workers: "What are you doing when you are so yelling?"
"We helped our boss go to the Censorate to ask the court to uphold justice. He was timid, so we had to bring him."
A worker bowed to the Jinyiwei and replied.
The Jinyiwei didn't say anything, and walked over directly.
Ei Tada couldn't help but say to Muto Masato: "Mutou, this Ming Dynasty worker is so bloody! He dared to force his boss to seek justice."
Masato Muto nodded, "Maybe we need to transform our nation."
“Have you ever found their workers dressed well?”
Tada Ei replied.
"I noticed that they are as good as their boss. If you don't know, you will think they are his friends. But such a boss may be boring in front of you. Isn't people making money just to appear superior to others? They can't show it in their clothes, but now it seems that their status cannot be reflected. Workers can force the boss to complain."
Muto replied.
"You said, how did Mingguo do it?"
Tada Ei asked.
"This is why we come here to study. However, I think it may be related to their monarch and to the Ming people themselves. I noticed that their cultural level is generally higher than that of our Japanese."
Muto replied.
"Freedom is something more noble than life. Since we Han people are the people of the Celestial Empire, the right that we should have the most is the right to freedom!"
"But the court is constantly wearing a tight curse for us, not allowing us to do free transactions, not allowing us to create wealth freely. Sometimes it is for the benefit of the nation, sometimes it is for the protection of the environment, and sometimes it is for our health!"
"We are like a giant baby, a doll that has not grown up. The court is always worried about us, but we want to say that we have grown up, and you say, yes, right!"
"Nonsense! You are very dissatisfied with you. Can I freely bear your life? You only talk about rights and not obligations. Don't think that I don't know what evil intentions you liberal scholars are. They just want to trade land freely, can mine mining within the pass, and even reopen brothels! After all, it is still a little troublesome to go overseas outside the pass, and there is no good facilities here! But don't forget that once a person is so selfish that he just wants to satisfy his desires, he will not be far from destruction!"
When Masamon Muto and Ei Tada came to the most prosperous chessboard street in the capital, they even saw many scholars gathering to speak or debate with each other, and even listened for a while.
"Mutou, this Ming Kingdom is indeed a place with great academic style. There are so many scholars who passionately talk about their opinions on the streets! Have you heard that they are already arguing about freedom, rights, and obligations. I don't understand them very well, but I know that most of our scholars are still arguing about how to restore sovereignty and how to end the division, and they are already arguing about ideological matters!"
"And I found that there were so many scholars in their house! It felt like the streets were everywhere."
Tada Ei said at this time.
Masato Muto said: "I have read the data released by their Hanlin Academy. The student rate in Ming Dynasty has reached 3%. In other words, there are nearly 10 million scholars with higher knowledge, and the number of literacy is even more terrifying. This should be the reason for their strength. What they are arguing about is not just the survival of a nation, but a deeper theory. When we come here, we will definitely learn something!"
"The first thing to learn is how their kings did this. As far as I know, they will plan to increase the intensity of free education, increase the age of free education, and even legislate to require children of appropriate age to study! You said, can such a country not be strong? What's sadly, my Yamato people are still hungry."
"You know so much."
Tada Ei replied.
"To save our own country, we must learn about Ming Kingdom in detail and do our homework!"
"According to various data analysis, the huge changes in their Ming Kingdom began after the current emperor Tianqi ascended the throne, and it should have entered a period of decline before, but in just over 40 years, this iron-blooded emperor made his empire undergo earth-shaking changes!"
"Although I'm not very clear about what he said and did, and even according to the notes of some literati, he did a lot of evil politics, I think there must be reasons why he could get Ming to this point."
As Muto said, he said again: "Come here, we must figure it out!"
"It's not just you who are thinking this way. Many scholars in Japan are thinking this way, but many of them think that the first thing we need to do is to fully Chineseize, and all failures are not completely Chinese."
Tada Ei replied.
"Not necessarily! The strength of the Ming Kingdom must have a lot to do with the current Daming Holy Emperor who was secretly scolded by their own people as a tyrant."
Muto said.
Before coming to the Ming Dynasty, the principal of his school wrote a recommendation letter to Teng Ye, a Japanese man who came to the Ming Dynasty, who first came to the Ming Dynasty to take care of him, and also gave the two of them the Teng Ye's address in the Ming Dynasty.
Therefore, the two found Teng Ye according to the address given to them by their principal.
"Hello, Senior Brother Teng Ye, we are Confucian students from Edo Zhuzi School. My name is Wu Zhengzong, and his name is Duorong."
After seeing Tengye, Masamon Muto introduced himself first and also introduced Ei Tada.
Ei Tada immediately stretched out his arms, folded his hands in front, and performed a ritual: "Hello, senior brother!"
After Teng Ye returned the gift, he nodded and asked, "Why are you going to study in the Celestial Empire?"
"I want to know the way to save me Yamato here!"
Muto replied.
"Uh-huh!"
Ei Tada nodded.
"Come with me."
Teng Ye took the two of them to the Daming Jingshi Normal School and said, "If you want to save Yamato, I, Yamato, must be completely sinicized first! This is the only way! The reason why I, Yamato, failed to be consistent with China is that after the Dahua reform in the Tang Dynasty, we did not become completely sinicized when we went from barbarism to civilization. First of all, we only learned Buddhism and Confucianism, but we were not in the way! This is what I thought after studying in Ming Dynasty for many years. You will know why I think so in the future."
