My Daming New Empire

Page 718

Na Bao'er felt embarrassed when she saw Yu Qian was polite.He said: "I study literature, not Confucianism. Literature is the knowledge of the world, and Confucianism is the speech of a family."

"Nonsense..." Kang Shun couldn't help but pointed at him and asked, "Isn't all the knowledge in this world created by Confucianism, what do you know?"

Bao'er laughed and said, "Cangjie created characters. Is Cangjie Confucianism? Confucianism likes to classify all learning as its own, but they don't even know that Taoism is ahead of Confucianism. What I study in school is learning. That's arithmetic, that's barbarianism." Is Wen Confucianism? Confucianism also regards Gewu as a strange skill, but without Gewu, how can we build a big ship? How can we build an arena with 10 people? How can we build steam engines and trains?"

Yu Qian asked again: "Then what kind of person do you want to be in the future?"

"I want to be a big businessman, sell my great Ming products to all over the world, set sail to the sea, and the world is happy."

The middle-aged man slapped him on the forehead, turned to several people and clasped his fists together and said, "Kids are talking nonsense, please don't take it seriously."

Even though he said that, there was no anger in his expression, but rather a sense of complacency, obviously very proud of his son.

Yu Qian turned to him and clasped his fists and asked, "My humble Qiantang Yu Qian, I don't know your name? What is your business?"

The middle-aged man also returned the gift and said: "My Huizhou is safe, this is the children's safety and wealth. In the early years, I fled famine and came to the capital. I used to make pancakes for a living. Because of His Highness's vigorous development of industry and commerce, I can be considered to be in His Highness's glory. Supervising several factories to provide fruits and vegetables, a small industry, not worth mentioning.”

Yu Qian didn't understand, and after further questioning, he found out that he collected fresh vegetables and dried vegetables in the countryside, and then sold them to several factory canteens of the internal prison.

Yu Qian asked: "This businessman is looking for profit. You sell vegetables for a copper coin to the factory at a higher price. Why is it beneficial to the economy?"

An An said disdainfully: "So you are so stupid, you can only talk empty words. I will go door-to-door and sign contracts with farmers. Farmers are not afraid that vegetables will not be sold if they are grown. Isn't this good for people's livelihood? Purchasing troubles and putting all your energy on factory management, isn’t that saving worry and effort? Everyone has limited energy, and using limited energy on the cutting edge, wouldn’t it be possible to play the best role of the individual?

Take the officials of the imperial court as an example, which one of them has a group of employees?Without these people, would it be possible for them to be busy with important affairs of the court every day, and have to wash and cook by themselves when they go home? "

Yu Qian and the others pondered for a while, feeling that what the other party said made sense, but it seemed that they shouldn't have said that.

There are different levels of people, and of course it is impossible for a big man to do trivial things.Their achievements are not comparable to those of little people.

Everyone wants to be a master, which is the source of power for the development of the entire society.But now the atmosphere in the capital seems to have changed, and officials are not what everyone wants to be.

They don't know why such a situation occurs, it seems that they need to understand it more deeply.

At this time, there was a sudden clamor of gongs and drums in the venue, and then everyone's attention was attracted.

A long convoy came in along an entrance at the bottom of the field, with big drums and chime bells mounted on the car, and slowly entered the field.

They drove slowly along the track outside the lawn, and the people in the car beat the big drum energetically.

More people followed behind the car, they were playing various musical instruments, this grand formation was much bigger than normal wedding scenes.

Yu Qian and the others had never seen a band of thousands of people playing together, and they were all attracted.

The band was uniform, they went around the venue, and when everyone got to the seat where the grandson was sitting in the middle of the north stand, they all saluted proudly.

The people in the venue also followed their actions and saluted to Zhu Zhanji's position.

The band of thousands of people played continuously, but soon formed square formations under the east and west stands, occupying the entire runway on both sides.

After they formed the phalanx, the sound of the music suddenly stopped, and then the people in the venue let out a burst of wild cheers.

No one noticed that a tough old man appeared on the inspection platform in front of Zhu Zhanji's box. In front of him, there was a high platform with a height of one person. Speaker, except that the opening of this speaker is downward.

He coughed in front of the trumpet-shaped brass pipe, and the coughing sound spread throughout the audience.

At this time, many people noticed him, and many people also recognized that this was the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Jian Yi.

Facing the audience of 10 people, Jian Yi's heart was also full of excitement at this time, no matter who it was, he had never spoken in front of 10 people.

Even when the emperor was parading, it was impossible for everyone to hear his voice.He is a veritable No.1.

In order not to make a fool of himself, he took time out two days ago to practice.

But when 10 people appeared in front of him, he still couldn't help being a little nervous, which was a feeling he hadn't seen for a long time.

"People of the Ming Dynasty, today is the opening of the first Royal Cuju Competition of the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the first time the Daming Arena will be used. In order to welcome this prosperous age, our distinguished Crown Princess and His Royal Highness Jian Guo Taisun are also here. When we arrive at the scene, we will greet this grand event together with all the officials and the common people..."

This kind of copper tube sound amplification, the sound transmission links in various places in the stadium have been debugged many times, and the effect is still very good.

Although it cannot be as fidelity as the electronic sound amplification equipment of later generations, and the sound is severely distorted, it can still be heard clearly.

Seeing Jian Yi speaking in front, Mrs. Zhang was very fresh, and said: "These craftsmen are really amazing, they can make one person's words heard by the whole audience."

Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "So it is necessary to vigorously develop Gewu. These are not just strange skills. In the future, the imperial court will hold conferences and soldiers will go out to battle, all of which can be held here."

Mrs. Zhang nodded, and shouted to Shuang'er who was lying in front: "Shuang'er, make room for Qi Xiang..."

Mrs. Zhang is good everywhere, but it is inevitable that she is a bit patriarchal.As long as there is a dispute between a boy and a girl, it goes without saying that she will always side with the boy.

Zhu Shuang looked at her younger brother Zhu Qixiang behind her, she was a little reluctant, but she didn't dare to argue, so she gave up her seat at the front window and stood behind him.

Seeing that Zhu Qizhen didn't even say thank you, Zhu Zhanji took it for granted and said, "Zhu Qizhen, you don't even say thank you to your sister?"

Hearing Zhu Zhanji's voice, Zhu Qizheng frowned, not daring to look at Zhu Zhanji, bowed his head and said thank you to Zhu Shuang, and then lay down in front to watch the fun.

Mrs. Zhang said displeasedly: "Look at you, you don't have a good face to your sons every day, none of them are afraid of you."

"Born in the royal family, each of them bears different responsibilities. Girls can be pampered, but boys can't be pampered." Zhu Zhanji turned his head and smiled: "Mother and concubine, my father sent a letter yesterday, saying that he also wanted to go back to Beijing to have a look." In this arena, watch a few football games by the way. When the father returns to Beijing to watch the game, you have to spend more time with him."

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "I see. Is it okay to let him return to Beijing at this time?"

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said with a smile: "What does it matter? In the past six months, everything has been under the control of the child."

At this time, Jian Yi had finished reading his opening draft, and it was time for Zhu Zhanji to play next.

He stood up, and amidst the cheers of 10 people throughout the stadium, he got out of the box from the back and walked along the passage to a platform in front.

When Zhu Zhanji stood on the platform and twelve eunuchs held the dragon flag representing the royal family, the cheers in the stadium became more intense.

In this era, giving a speech in front of 10 people is unmatched by any kind of feeling.He was able to face it calmly because he gave a speech in front of [-] to [-] mercenaries in his previous life.

For ordinary people, on such occasions, they might be too nervous to speak.

Zhu Zhanji stood in front of the podium, opened his arms before speaking, and faced the [-] spectators in the arena with the attitude of always dominating the world.

This made everyone shout excitedly. Everyone raised their arms in response to Zhu Zhanji's movement, and some even fainted from excitement.

Zhu Zhanji lowered his arms, and then the voice in the field quickly quieted down. He took a step forward and said loudly: "Cuju is a competitive event, and many people are even addicted to gambling for it. Some ministers think that Gu should not appear here.

However, Gu believes that Cuju is not only a competition, not just a gambling, but also a sport for physical fitness.

In the previous world, the people did not have enough to eat and did not wear warm clothes, and the soldiers could not even afford regular training.

But today's military can not only ensure that the soldiers are well fed and warmly dressed, but also have a meal of meat every five days.

Therefore, improving physical fitness will be an important policy of Ming Dynasty in the future.It's not just men who want to improve their physique, but women too.

Only when you are healthy can you give birth to healthy children, and only when you are healthy can you bear greater pressure.
