Chapter 281 Ling Chi executes Liao generals and punishes his nine clans!
Zu Dashou hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes, everyone in the world considers His Majesty's servants to be proud!"
After Zu Dashou returned, he said again: "Your Majesty, you have never had the consciousness of being the co-lord of us meat-eaters! You really want to govern the country according to the words of old Master Meng, and you believe in nonsense like people are the most important thing."
Zu Dashou emphasized: "Your Majesty, the words of sages and sages are for others to hear, not for use! You are able to secure your position not because the people support you as emperor, but because we are willing to let you be emperor. ah!"
"I have never given the common people a way of life just because I believed the old master Meng's words. It is because now, the Ming Dynasty really has to care about the life and death of the common people!"
Tian Qi responded to Zu Dashou without hesitation, and said: "You want to be my dog, and even be my dog from generation to generation, and then be the dog of the people from generation to generation. I know. But the problem is, in today's Ming Dynasty, the people They can't even survive being dogs!"
"Then kill!"
Zu Dashou suddenly replied with a stern face.
Zu Dashou said: "Your Majesty! The people can't be killed, even if they are slaughtered. What's more, people are originally good. Most of the people are kind, and they will not rebel just because they want to starve to death. Yes. Especially our Han people, most of them know the etiquette, not the uncivilized people like the barbarians, so most of them would rather starve to death than rebel against the monarch, or even blame the monarch for being stupid. Only those who don’t know the etiquette Only when they are civilians will they rebel and become bandits, and what is the use of keeping these unscrupulous people!"
"As long as all the unruly people among the Han people are killed, the Han people will still be the most governed people in the world! There is no need to worry about suffering them. You may need to be gentle with the foreigners, but you don't need it at all for the Han people. Just kill one or two Those who do not obey the indoctrination, the rest will only obey. Your Majesty!"
As he spoke, Zu Dashou bowed to the ground, knocked the heavy shackle around his neck on the ground, and said loudly: "I hope that all the members of the Zu family will be small soldiers, and kill all the troublesome people and bandits in the world for Your Majesty!"
"enough!"
Tian Qi immediately yelled, and said: "In all the dynasties in history, have they killed the people who rebelled because of hunger, have they killed a prosperous age, have they brought out a dynasty that has flourished for more than three hundred years? Don’t think that I have never read history before your ancestor’s birthday!”
After hearing this, Zu Dashou was silent for a long time, and then he smiled wryly: "Since your majesty insists on doing the world's worst things, what can I do? But I believe that your majesty wants to make the Han people in the world live like individuals." It doesn't make sense, people will definitely have respect and want to have respect, even a family will fight over who should get more property, let alone the world."
"Profits are difficult to share equally, but among my people, it is not necessary for some people to be the cattle and horses of others. Millions of people in the Xishan Industrial Division are living very well now, and there is no one else. Domestic slaves did not become a burden on the court, or even became rogues who caused troubles in the world. More importantly, not only did they themselves start eating meat, but also our internal and national funds depended on their labor in the Industrial Division. Make money every day."
"This reminds me that during the time of the Xian Temple, hundreds of thousands of refugees from Jingxiang did not resolve the crisis of the country by being slaughtered. Instead, the imperial government actively encouraged them to settle in Jingxiang and cultivate land, which increased the court's taxes and increased the people's livelihood. Example. I don’t know if the hearts of you ministers have become cold and hard, or if you have really become stupid, and you only think of killing to solve the problem, you are more cruel than me.”
Apocalypse said at length.
Zu Dashou laughed: "Your Majesty's Industrial Division has supported a lot of refugees, but Your Majesty, you don't know who your Industrial Division has taken advantage of?"
"A large amount of cheap silk and cotton cloth are being dumped at home and abroad, and how many wealthy merchants have gone bankrupt? The powerful bureaucrats behind these wealthy merchants have long hated His Majesty's Industrial Division!"
"There are still so many refugees who can come to the Industrial Department to live a life without hunger or cold without selling their children cheaply. Does this make the world's powerful and bureaucrats less sources of raising beautiful maidservants and domestic slaves? Your Majesty didn't realize it himself. Are there fewer and fewer people who want to enter the palace?"
"It's just spending more money, but I don't lack money now, and the extra money I spent on recruiting internal servants is far less than what I earn."
Apocalypse replied.
"So His Majesty's Industrial Division shouldn't exist! It only benefits His Majesty and the common people at the expense of the world's dignitaries and gentry. At most, Uncle Zhang, the dignitaries who support the reform! Your Majesty, where are you and Uncle Zhang? The reform is clearly taking the head of the world and plundering the property of the rich, the powerful and the powerful!"
Zu Dashou gritted his teeth and shouted loudly.
Zhang Gui smiled at the side, he could understand why Zu Dashou lost his composure.
Institutions such as the Industrial Division of the Chinese Military Governor's Mansion in Xishan are actually equivalent to improving the productivity of various industries in Ming Dynasty, and they are also launching various high-quality and cheap industrial products. The interests of the common people and the dignitaries who have invested in the industrial department have increased, including the emperor.
It's just that the emperor and his favorites who were in charge of cutting the cake did not cut the increased cake to all the nobles and bureaucrats, and even cut the newly increased part of the cake to only some interest groups, and by wooing these interest groups, together To reap the benefits originally owned by a large part of the powerful and bureaucrats who did not get a share of the cake.
He has no chance to take advantage of the benefits of the Industrial Division, but will be deprived of part of it.
The poor talk about relationships, and the rich talk about interests.
As one of the rich people, Zu Dashou is clear about the division of interests in the world.
Tianqi couldn't refute it, so he just said: "I'll take it away, what can you do?"
Zu Dashou: "..."
Tian Qi was even more proud: "The Industrial Division just improved the looms and spinning machines, and Song Yingxing and the others just made ironmaking easier, so you can't bear it. The running steam car, and the experiment of magnetism and electricity becoming a reality, wouldn't you be more unbearable?"
"Fantastic skills and ingenuity are really a disaster for the world!"
Zu Dashou sighed again because of this.
What Zu Dashou said was indeed his true inner feelings.
Because it is true.
New machinery such as the flying shuttle loom and the spinning jenny appeared in Daming, allowing the common people who originally needed to sell their children to obtain warm cotton-padded clothes.
The emergence of more advanced firearms also made it easier for ordinary Han people to rely on firearms to defeat noble cavalry.
That is to say, the imperial court that masters these technologies can exploit enough wealth from the people and have strong force without using the people as slaves, while the powerful bureaucrats still need the people to be slaves or almost like slaves in order to obtain the same amount of wealth with equally powerful force.
To be more specific, even if the same strength is achieved, the imperial court only exploits 50% of the people, while the rich and powerful bureaucrats without technological improvement have to exploit more than 90% of the people.
This means that even if the imperial court increased the exploitation of the people by 70%, it would still be enough to beat the rich and powerful bureaucrats without technological improvement. As feudal landlords, they had already exploited the people to more than 90%, and they could not increase it at all. imperial court.
That's why Zu Dashou said now that strange skills and ingenuity have harmed the people of the world.
If the emperor didn't engage in strange tricks, the emperor was also a big feudal landlord, and he could only exploit more than 90% of the people in order to guarantee enough benefits.
However, because the emperor has obtained more advanced productivity in terms of strange skills and ingenuity, the emperor no longer needs to be a big feudal landlord, but only needs to be a big factory owner, and he can get more money than before when he exploited the people by 90%. There are many benefits.
In addition, after the emperor obtained more advanced productivity in the strange skills and obscene skills, even if he gave up a little profit, it would be more than when he was a feudal landlord and exploited more than 90% of the people. Therefore, this allowed the emperor to unite more people.
For example, because with the support of the emperor, part of the profit was given to the gentry in eastern Zhejiang, so the gentry in eastern Zhejiang actually supported the distribution of land in order to generate more silk for the court, and did not support the rebellion of King Yi.
It can be said that after the advanced productivity brought about by the great tricks and ingenuity is controlled by the emperor Tianqi and his cronies and courtiers, it is doomed that the feudal lands such as Zu Dashou are mainly hanged.
After all, each other is no longer a civilization dimension.
If Tianqi really followed Zhang Gui's suggestion to create a steam engine, the gap between dimensions would be even greater.
Da Ming's current situation will undergo even greater changes.
"This is a disaster for you, but an opportunity for ZTE for me."
Tian Qi stopped talking nonsense here, and directly ordered: "Pass down the decree, Zu Dashou and other Liao generals have colluded with the enemy and betrayed the country. They are guilty of conspiracy and rebellion. They will be executed by Ling Chi, and all the nine clans will be beheaded!"
