Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king

Chapter 482 [Extra 2: Zhu Qiyu’s Simulator ()]

Zhu Qiyu continued to simulate, and the more he simulated, the angrier he became.

In 441 of the Ming Dynasty, the power of the cabinet was weakened and redistributed, and the government entered a period of stability.

The imperial system completely disappeared from history.

Emperor Chengguang died a long time ago. His lineage did not completely become a political family, but became a half-capital and half-political family.

It is a fat sheep, but it is not yet a fat sheep.

There is little political power left except a seat in parliament.

Emperor Chengguang did one thing right, which was to unite the Zhu family clans from all over the world and cover them all as wings.

In the year 449 of the Ming Dynasty, the first assistant of this term was named Zhu!

Zhu Qiyu did the math and found out that he should belong to the family of Zhu Houying's fourth son, who had long since left the royal family and transformed into a gentry family, farming and studying to pass down the family.

In recent years, the chief minister and the president have been at loggerheads.

The two fought hard for authority.

The court was in turmoil.

The people more or less miss the emperor's existence.

With the redistribution of power, the president was given financial powers in addition to diplomacy.

This time the government is stable.

The president controls foreign affairs and finance.

The cabinet holds the power of officials.

The Ministry of Criminal Justice, the Procuratorate, and other ministries have legislative and judicial power.

At the same time, there must be power supervision and checks and balances among the three.

Emperor Shizu laid a good foundation of public opinion, and the people were able to participate in and discuss politics. This was an effective method of supervision.

The Ming Dynasty paid great attention to the rule of law and filial piety.

It is a new system under Confucianism.

The Confucian tradition cannot be thrown away, and the dross should be stripped away. In fact, the Confucian dross has been stripped away since the Zhengde Dynasty.

The so-called Confucian dregs are those that do not conform to the times.

The essence remains.

Benevolence, wisdom, propriety, righteousness and trust are still the mainstream culture today.

It also incorporated new era and new ideas to form today’s thinking.

The legal system and the moral system coexist.

After the abolition of the imperial system, the law became supreme and the whole society had to obey the law.

The moral system is supplemented.

Form a new legal system.

In the year 521 of the Ming Dynasty, the world entered a new pattern. Ten countries in the world tightened their economies, broke the process of globalization, and entered an era of economic localization.

Due to the century-long internal power struggle in the Ming Dynasty, a new stable power structure was formed, but it also caused the Ming Dynasty to lose its status as the world's hegemon.

Because the world no longer needs Ming, the most important thing is that Ming has lost its legal authority over the world.

The Ming Dynasty controlled the world, and the legal system came from Emperor Shizu.

Emperor Shizu conquered the world and divided the princes into feudal states, thus achieving his current hegemonic status.

The Ming Dynasty was the hegemon of the world for two hundred years!

The emperor system has left the Ming Dynasty for a hundred years.

Today's Ming Dynasty is completely different from the Ming Dynasty in Shizu's time.

Even the world has completely entered the era without emperors, and the people of the world have become accustomed to the era without emperors.

Then, the Ming Dynasty's legal system for ruling the world would no longer exist.

The Chinese people attach great importance to the legal system and the importance of being famous.

The development of the world, from the feudal system at the beginning, to the feudal system, and then to the emperorless system, has gradually become more enlightened.

This also means that the Ming Dynasty has lost its legitimacy over the world.

Even though the Ming Dynasty can still rule the world with its military ports on the ocean, this rule will face endless challenges.

Previous challenges were carried out in violation of legal rules.

The current challenge is completely legal and compliant.

All countries in the world are equal, and equality means that you cannot exercise hegemony over our country. The legal system of hegemony in the past was due to Emperor Shizu. Now that the Ming Dynasty is gone, where does the legal system come from?

Without the rule of law, countries around the world can openly challenge Ming Dynasty.

If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves missing you.

Besides, in order to restructure power in recent years, Ming Dynasty has gradually relaxed its rule over the world.

Therefore, by the year 521 of the Ming Dynasty, the rule of the Ming Dynasty was already shaky.

Countries around the world have completely opened a new chapter from semi-independence to formal independence.

In the past, there was a great emperor, Ming Dynasty, sitting on his head.

Now that the Ming Dynasty no longer has the legal system to rule the world, the Supreme Emperor should naturally cease to exist. The most important thing is that not all those who are in charge of the political affairs of various countries are named Zhu!

Political families with foreign surnames have emerged and control the government of a country.

The world is moving in a good direction.

Zhu Qiyu sighed quietly: "It's a pity. If Emperor Chengguang delays for another ten years, this lineage will not decline like this. It will be my Zhu family who will rule the world!"

After the death of Emperor Chengguang, the lineage of Emperor Chengguang did not completely transform into a political family when it was passed down to the third generation.

Fortunately, Emperor Chengguang distributed his fame to the clan, so that some of the clan members could serve as chief ministers, some as presidents, and some as officials at all levels!

Although the Ming Dynasty no longer has an emperor, the Zhu family has always been there.

By the year 521 of the Ming Dynasty, 109 years after the imperial system was abolished, there had been a total of fourteen chief assistants and fourteen presidents. Among them, four chief assistants were named Zhu, three were from relatives of the Zhu family, and there were three who were married to the Zhu family. Seven!

It is equivalent to saying that there is no emperor in the world, but the Zhu family still rules the Ming Dynasty. Let’s look at private capital.

During the Ming Dynasty's development for more than five hundred years, countless financial groups have emerged across the long river of history.

Today, there are 127 top financial groups in total, controlling 60% of the world’s money.

However, among these 127 consortiums, 42 are surnamed Zhu, 39 are relatives of the Ming Dynasty, 27 are transformed from Xungui, and only 19 are large consortiums formed by real private capital.

However, if you check their financial statements, you will find that of the only 19 consortiums left, 11 are controlled by the Zhu family and 8 are controlled by top officials...

After a long period of time, there are only 127 consortiums left, which are actually still in the hands of people named Zhu.

Look at the Six Religions.

Who wants to be a monk?
The Zhu family is willing to do it!

Go and check all the big temples in the world. The name of the lay person who presides over them is all named Zhu!

Emperor Taizu was a monk. Is it against harmony for his descendants to be monks?

Other sects are better off. After all, monks are not allowed to get married and have children, but there are an endless stream of Zhu family members who come out to become monks.

The presiding officers from generation to generation are all surnamed Zhu, not just one big temple, but all of them!
Or the whole world!
Let alone other sects, everyone’s surname is Zhu!

Escape from the secular world to the Pure Land was a national policy secretly set by Zhu Qiyu when he was still alive. It took nearly four hundred years for the Zhu family to slowly penetrate, integrate, and devour, and finally enjoyed the peerless authority of the Pure Land.

The Six Religions have also gone from being escapist sects to becoming the top sects with absolute power. No one in the world can escape from the beliefs of these Six Religions.

Let’s look at the eight departments, six temples, two divisions, one courtyard, one government and one chief officer.

Since the Jingtai Dynasty reformed the official administration, and it has continued to this day, the official administration has only made minor repairs and has not been changed on a large scale.

After the abolition of the emperor system, the number of senior officials in each department was also limited.

The system of cabinet ministers has changed from a seven-person system to a thirteen-person system. With the birth of the parliamentary system, only three people in the cabinet have absolute power.

In other words, in more than 42 years, there have been 28 cabinet ministers, not counting the first assistant, and second and third assistants.

There are 16 people with the surname Zhu, 4 of whom are from relatives of the Zhu family.

Although their surname is Zhu, they are no longer close to the royal family. They all relied on their own talents to learn how to kill.

There are a total of 112 ministers in the eight divisions, and there are actually 53 ministers named Zhu.

There are 84 chief officials in the six temples, and there are actually 37.

Including the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Supervision Department, Chief Secretary and other administrative officials, there are more than a hundred people named Zhu!
One Zhu family fell down, but thousands of Zhu families stood up.

I have to admit that the education system of the Zhu family is really amazing.

Some people in later generations specifically studied the education system of the Zhu family.

It is believed that Emperor Shizu's greatest contribution was to restrain the clan and strictly educate the clan, allowing the clan to produce a large number of talents over a period of four hundred years.

In fact, there are very few dandies in the Zhu family, especially in the side branches, with a very high rate of elites.

This is all due to the royal education system established by Emperor Sejo.

Regardless of whether the Zhu family dominates the court, it is because the Zhu family is of high enough level. Especially after entering the new era, these Zhu family members have a good reputation among the people.

This does not include the Zhu family members at all levels.

Zhang Wang, Li Zhao and Liu are the most common surnames in the Ming Dynasty, followed closely by Zhu. There are many people surnamed Zhu in the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Qiyu was quite satisfied with the situation among the people. The Ming Dynasty did not collapse after a hundred years as he estimated.

Although it has lost its world dominance, at least the country's fundamentals have been stabilized.

The whole of East Asia is the land of the Ming Dynasty, so we should be content.

Speaking of world population.

The population of the Ming Dynasty dropped from its peak of 69.9 billion to 46 billion!
The world's population has dropped from its peak of 157 billion to 98 billion.

Population shortage has become a serious challenge facing the world.

In fact, with the size of the Ming Dynasty, there is absolutely no problem in hosting a population of 10 billion. Human resources are the foundation of a country's strength.

Only when there are many people and the base is large enough can enough talents be born!

From the Jingtai Dynasty, people attached great importance to population. However, after the Zhengde Dynasty, they believed that the population was too large and began to cut the demographic dividend and intentionally reduce the population.

As a result, today, the disadvantages have emerged.

With such a huge population base, even if the country closes itself off again, Ming Dynasty can still live a prosperous life and still be the world's hegemon.

Especially if wealthy people in China don’t go abroad to spend money, the world will collapse.

Ming Dynasty consumption accounts for as much as 70% of the world’s luxury goods.

However, as the population ages and the new population decreases, Ming Dynasty faces a labor shortage and the possibility of consumption downgrading.

When the world situation was completely regionalized, the shortcomings of Ming Dynasty were completely revealed.

The reason why we survived three world wars.

The final analysis is that Ming Dynasty has terrifying consumption power. After the war begins, Ming Dynasty's domestic consumption can sustain the world war for decades.

In every war, losses are huge.

The Ming Dynasty was severely damaged, and other vassal states were exhausted.

If Ming Dynasty had not always slipped up at critical moments, the world structure would not have become uncontrollable.

This is destiny and the destiny of the country.

It seems like a curse on this land.

The powerful dynasties of the past dynasties, Qin, Han, Tang and Ming, all dominated the world and were world hegemons. However, this world hegemon could not last more than fifty years, and then took a sharp turn and collapsed rapidly.

Every crash is due to serious internal friction!
The same is true for Ming Dynasty.

He was clearly at the top, but suddenly lost, all because of internal friction!
This land seems to have been cursed since the Qin and Han Dynasties, and it has not been lifted to this day.

Ming Dynasty also cleverly spread the curse all over the world!

Ming cannot be the overlord, and no one can be!
If Daming is not good, then don’t even think about it!
"The population is sparse, where will the future of the Ming Dynasty go?"

Zhu Qiyu sighed deeply after reading the population report.
