Chapter 325: Real and false

Xu Guangqi and Wang Zheng belong to the latter group. After the short-term surprise and enjoyment, they immediately felt cold all over their bodies. They always felt that there was a chubby face and a pair of eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling on their backs.

Seeing that the two most capable officials under him were forced to resign, Hong Tao was not only not worried but also very happy. He hummed an unknown ditty in his hand and walked towards Taiye Pond without looking back.

"Hurry and get the fishing rods and notify the Cuju team on duty to guard the lake! Long live my Lord... walk slowly and change clothes!" Seeing this, Wang Chengen jogged to catch up with the emperor and whispered to the accompanying little eunuch to prepare fishing tools. , Arrange safety work.

Now he is already half the head of the harem, and he and Wang An are responsible for all the work in the harem. Most of the time, any expression or small movements of the emperor can be accurately interpreted by him.

Fishing is the emperor's favorite. He fishes when he is worried, fishes when he is happy, and still fishes when he is too free. This time it was obvious that I was not worried, let alone idle. I could feel my mood from the rhythm of my steps.

Of course, some are happy but some are unlucky. At this time, the fish in Taiye Pond have to ask for their own blessings. The emperor was not only proficient in government affairs, he was also very good at having fun. With so many people in the harem, fishing has never been so easy. Whenever I want to catch a fish, I seem to be the emperor of fish.

"Prepare some more appetizers and invite Xu Guangqi and Wang Zheng to come and work hard with me!" Hong Tao was indeed very happy. The layout he had been planning for so many years finally had obvious results, a few years earlier than expected.

Official supervision of private affairs sounds like a compromise move that officials had to take to force the emperor to give up competing with the people for profit. In fact, it was a big hole dug for the Ming Dynasty’s bureaucratic capital, including the powerful gentry. No matter who you are, no matter what class or school of thought you belong to, once you fall, there is no possibility of climbing back up.

Some people may have seen the first step, which is to use various factories to divert the attention of bureaucratic capital and find them an alternative to monopolizing coastal smuggling and water transportation, so that the resistance to the implementation of the New Deal will be smaller.

You may also have seen the second step, using the massive silver reserves idle in the homes of the powerful gentry to find jobs for some of the refugees, disaster victims, and tenants who have lost their land. As long as these people can have food and drink, and a roof to protect them from wind and rain, the Ming Dynasty will be as stable as Mount Tai.

But they will never see the third or fourth step! As long as money is actively taken out and put into factories, in addition to making profits, it will also promote the rapid transformation of the economic system from physical goods to currency, step by step destroying the old model with the small farmer economy as the main body.

The bigger the factory opens and the more profits it makes, the more obvious and faster this trend becomes, but it is still irreversible. At that time, no matter who it is, not even the emperor who is the instigator will be able to make it take even half a step back. Anyone who dares to stand in front will be crushed into powder, leaving nothing behind.

Didn't a man named Ma in later generations say that the economic base determines the superstructure. Whoever can change the economic foundation of the Ming Dynasty can change the politics, law, philosophy and even artistic thinking of the Ming Dynasty.

At that time, there will be no need to spread new knowledge and ideas to the next generation in various names like now. The social changes caused by the economic foundation will naturally make up for this lesson, and no one can stop it, let alone stop it.

However, there is one person who can fine-tune the speed of each link during the entire transformation process, and this person is myself!

In other words, as long as Daming is allowed to enter this channel, he will be the only helmsman. No one can control whether you want to be fast or slow. In a sense, you are a god and must be worthy of joy. "Congratulations to both of you, the road to the revival of the Ming Dynasty begins at your feet today. Come on, fill it up yourself... I will tell you the solution after you finish drinking it. Whoever drinks it should tell him first!"

However, if you want to drag all the bureaucrats and gentry of the Ming Dynasty into a big trap, it is not enough to do it on your own. You must have helpers. The two Ming Dynasty Ministry of Industry Yu Heng and Qing Lisi Langzhong and the chief, who were led into Xiyuan by the Royal Horse Prison Chamberlain, were the best executors.

Xu Guangqi was older and had a calmer personality. He was not in a hurry to express his position. He picked up the wine bottle and poured a glass. The palace is full of fine wines from various places. This jar is the Jinhua wine that has been stored for many years. If you don’t drink it, it’s useless.

"Your Majesty, the machinery factory is already overwhelmed, and there is really nothing I can do."

But Wang Zheng was young and energetic, and he couldn't hold too much grievances in his stomach, so he complained while pouring wine. The production capacity of the machinery factory has been stretched to the highest level, but the supply is still in short supply. However, the government supervision of private affairs was part of the emperor's new policy, and they had to cooperate. It was indeed a dilemma.

"Did I ever say that the machinery factory must meet the procurement needs of factories in various places?"

Hong Tao, a science guy with only one string in his head, wouldn't tease him. His words were too convoluted and they couldn't understand him. There was no fun in the battle of wits and courage, but rather a kind of torture. After taking a big sip, he put down the wine bowl and started talking about business.

"But if it delays His Majesty's new policy, wouldn't it miss a major event?" Wang Zheng was a little confused. Could it be that he was wrong to take the overall situation into consideration? It's you who vigorously promotes the New Deal, and it's you who stand aside and make sarcastic remarks. Is there any justice in this?

"Liangfu, although you and your son are in the court, they are not familiar with the affairs of the court. Don't imitate them and speculate on the will of the emperor. I have never asked you to predict the future. The battle in the court is about power, and it is important to understand the world and understand people's hearts. But no matter how powerful the power is, nothing will be left after the death of the people and the death of the government. This is retreat.

What matters when opening a mine or a factory is that the materials are genuine and accurate. If you don’t have time to think about people’s hearts, it’s better to think about how to make the forging hammer bigger, the fire more powerful, and the turning tools sharper. Even if a generation is gone, the drawings will still be drawings and the machine will still be a machine. It will operate the same no matter who you replace it with. This is pragmatism, I call it industry.

If you want to make a great country prosperous, you will not be able to discern the direction by relying solely on industry, and it will be difficult to move forward if you only rely on industry. The reality and reality are complementary to each other. What you are doing is industrial, and you pay attention to one is one, and two is two. There is no falsehood at all. How can you try to figure out the need of God?

Remember my advice, stay away from court politics, concentrate on studying technology, and strive to make Haihe Machinery Factory a brand that will last for a hundred years. It’s actually very easy to do this, just four words: seek truth from facts! As long as you follow these four words, everything from your hair to the soles of your feet will be safe! "

Hong Tao knew why Xu Guangqi and Wang Zheng went to the forum to complain. Not only the two of them, but also Li Zhizao, Zhao Shizhen, Wang Jiazhen, Xiong Sanba, Bi Maokang, as well as the Guo family in charge of the alkali plant, the Wang family in charge of Liuguangzhai, and a large number of others Engineering and technical personnel are all under the strict supervision of Dongchang and Gecko.

I dare not say that the number of farts every day is recorded in the record. Anyway, what I eat, drink, say, who I have grudges and favors with, and who I meet and write, must be filed regularly and documented.
