Chongzhen and I became partners

Chapter 92 Zhuge Kongming
"That's what you say..." Emperor Chongzhen also knew that Liu Weichao was right, but he was still very worried, so he continued with Liu Weichao, "Zuo Maodi mentioned that when he was the governor of the water transport, he saw that the people were suffering from famine and epidemics. , Changing sons to eat each other, and the tragic scene of the village dying, I need to allocate funds to relieve the disaster. But with this money, I still want to use it to strengthen the army, this is the fundamental way."

Speaking of this, he paused and added: "But I also know that the people affected by the disaster are living on the verge of life and death. If you don't save them or save them as soon as possible, they will either die or be forced to rebel. I don't want to see it!"

When Liu Weichao heard this, he also sighed in his heart.

The common people in the late Ming Dynasty were really not as good as a dog in the peaceful and prosperous age!

It's not easy for them to live!

Thinking about it this way, when he was about to speak, Emperor Chongzhen said again: "After thinking about it for a while, the disaster relief has to be rescued, so I decided to allocate part of the funds, but the strong army can't delay, I will raid a few more houses, and the money will come faster ..."

When it came to the latter, he had already gritted his teeth a little bit.

"...That Zhu Chunchen is the fattest. Now that Zhou Yuji is by his side and he has mastered the Five Cities Army Division, I feel that I can do something to him!"

Hearing this, Liu Weichao finally had a chance to speak, and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "You already know the seriousness, if you think you can do it, then do it. But let me remind you, although it's fun to raid the house for a while, it won't work if you keep raiding the house." Always cool, you will suffer resistance. You must pay attention to your own safety!"

"I know!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded and said after hearing this, "I will definitely not be careless about this matter!"

After hearing this, Liu Weichao reminded him: "You have to be careful not to be corrupted by local corrupt officials for your disaster relief money!"

"I've thought of this too!" Emperor Chongzhen explained quickly when he heard this, "After thinking about it for a while, I will send imperial envoys for disaster relief. The money is only for disaster relief. Whoever wants to reach out, kill whoever!"

Speaking of the latter, his voice was a little austere.Obviously, anyone who wants to rob him of money will definitely not end well.

Liu Weichao nodded after listening, thinking in his heart, it's good for Emperor Chongzhen to understand.

The situation at the end of the Ming Dynasty was really difficult for him. Money was needed from all aspects, and all aspects were eager to ask for money, and their priorities were very high.

Whether it is a strong army or disaster relief, neither is easy to lose!

Money, no amount is too much!
When Liu Weichao thought of this, suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he thought of something, and quickly said to Emperor Chongzhen: "By the way, I thought of a way, maybe strengthening the army and disaster relief are the same!"

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was suddenly surprised, and immediately showed an overjoyed expression, and asked quickly: "What method? Can it really achieve both strengthening the army and disaster relief?"

"Didn't Huang Degong and Sun Yingyuan return to the capital from the south?" Liu Weichao himself was a little excited, and explained to Emperor Chongzhen, "Then they can recruit the disaster-stricken water workers to serve as soldiers! This way the army expansion can solve the problem, and the military pay can also accommodate some victims of the disaster. Is it right for both?"

After a pause, he added: "Don't forget, your army will be dominated by firearms in the future. In this way, the physical requirements for soldiers will be much lower. Besides, the million soldiers by the canal Waterworker, if you do physical work every day, if you can persevere, your physical condition will probably not be too bad! You can discuss this matter with your courtiers according to the actual situation, I think it is a choice."

Hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen was overjoyed immediately, and quickly said: "This is a good idea, yes, yes, the money allocated in this way can be used to strengthen the army, and it can also solve the disaster of the victims!"

Having said that, he hurriedly said again: "Rescuing disasters is like putting out fires, I will arrange this right now!"

"Well, let's go!" Liu Weichao nodded quickly after hearing this.

So, Emperor Chongzhen wanted to hang up the communication, but he remembered something, and said to Liu Weichao: "You are so smart, you seem to understand everything. I guess, even Zhuge Kongming is not as knowledgeable as you!"

"..." Liu Weichao was a little dumbfounded when he heard it. The Emperor Chongzhen's flattery is getting more and more direct!
Well, the emperor's flattery seems to be very useful!

Thinking of this, Liu Weichao was also happy, and said solemnly: "My era is an era of knowledge explosion, and it is not surprising that I know more. What's more, I am indeed smarter!"

Speaking of which, grin!

This is actually reasonable.

In ancient times, limited by the cost of printing technology and bamboo slips and paper, the dissemination of knowledge was limited.

Why is Confucius' status so high?

One of the biggest reasons is because Confucius was the first teacher who widely recruited ordinary people as students!

Before the Spring and Autumn Period, knowledge was passed on from the official to the next official; from the Spring and Autumn Period, or from Confucius, changes in the situation and the decline of some nobles made them start recruiting ordinary students to support their families. Knowledge began to flow out.

Confucius is the biggest representative with the most students!
Later, knowledge was basically monopolized by the powerful, and it was impossible for the truly poor to have access to books and learn knowledge.

With the upgrading of printing and paper technology, the dissemination of knowledge became more common. Especially since the Tang Dynasty, the realization of the imperial examination system gave ordinary people opportunities.

Here, I have to mention Wu Zetian, the only female emperor in Chinese history, who has made a lot of contributions.

Later, the dissemination of knowledge became more common with the innovation of technology. In the Internet age, almost all the people of later generations know the same knowledge as Zhuge Kongming. The difference is whether they can use these knowledge flexibly. Knowledge only.

Thinking of this, Liu Weichao turned his mobile phone, showed Emperor Chongzhen the building behind him and said: "Did you see that, the second, third and fourth floors of this building are full of all kinds of books, compared to your era There must be more books in any collection! And this kind of library, basically every city has one! Anyone who wants to read books can, and only needs to pay a small amount of money, or no money."

When Emperor Chongzhen saw it, he couldn't help being surprised and said: "This is more than the collection of books in the Imperial Palace, right? Are there really all kinds of books?"

Hearing this, Liu Weichao nodded, and when he was about to say something, he suddenly remembered something, shook his head and said, "Of course not, at least when Jianlu ruled, many of your books were destroyed at that time, so don't say this Libraries, libraries in the whole world, probably don’t exist. What a pity!”

As soon as he said this, another flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and suddenly, an idea popped up, which made him a little overjoyed immediately!
