Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 336 Business is the only entry point for cronies to enter the game!

As soon as this statement came out

Not only did Zhu Biao's face turn gloomy, but even Zhu Yuanzhang on the other side frowned.

Even if he had confidence in the Zhu family, he had to admit that nothing would be left after death.

As long as you can still breathe, your words will work. When your eyes close, who will care about the teachings of your ancestors?

It is obviously unrealistic to expect future generations to be like you.

"Mr. Lin thinks longer term than we do."

"But... our descendants of the Zhu family could be so unbearable?"

"If you don't ask for the Mingjun Holy Master, you still have to be a little human, right?"

"Sister, what do you think?"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was still unconvinced by his strong words, Empress Ma couldn't help but let out a long sigh, she was really too lazy to pay attention to him.

It's human nature to feel sorry for your children.

However, when it reaches the other party's level, it starts to become a bit perverted.

You are trapped in a cocoon and the ground is a prison. No matter how many great principles are taught, you can't listen to it. You understand it better than anyone else at the time, but you completely forget it later.

No wonder Lin Che gave up assisting the emperor.

It's really hopeless.

Let’s talk about the other side.

Zhu Biao lowered his head and remained silent for a long time. Lin Che took a sip of tea happily and did not make things difficult for him.

"Come on, let's continue to deduce."

"Under the implementation of your father's policies, the people's lives are indeed getting better day by day, but the landlords and gentry whose interests were directly linked to them in the past have suffered a lot."

"The emphasis on agriculture and the suppression of business led to a serious loss of interests. However, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, your father announced that he would rule the world together with the people, which greatly stabilized the chaos among the people."

"However, Dad has given many benefits to the people, breaking the oppression of the class on the people. In order to get back the interests that originally belonged to them, the class will naturally study many ways to gain profit, and will not sit back and accept the status quo."

"Is that okay?"

Zhu Biao suddenly raised his head and couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"As a result, it didn't take long for the people to be exploited by many upper classes in different ways. It became common for farmers to lose their freedom and land."

"The gentry still has loopholes to exploit, so how come all the shrewd businessmen, who are all 'old foxes', don't find some ways to make huge profits?"

Lin Che smiled:

"10% profit will make businessmen eager to take action, 20% profit will make businessmen extremely active, and 50% profit will make businessmen dare to take risks. When the profit exceeds 100% or even more -"

"Businessmen will trample all laws and rules in the world."

"In order to gain more benefits, they began to cooperate with the original incompatible officials, turning enemies into friends, and there would be no enemies."

"Based on this phenomenon of the times, the officials of the Ming Dynasty who originally had the lowest salary in the history of the dynasty, were so rich that they were filially respected by those businessmen and gentry."

"It's like a great irony that after officials get benefits, it's time to 'make a contribution'."

"The behavior of businessmen is mostly unimpeded. As long as it doesn't make them lose their heads, just let them do whatever they want."

Looking at the astonished Zhu Biao, Lin Che sighed:

“Both parties made a lot of money during the cooperation process, so that more and more people became jealous and followed suit to make profits together with local officials.”

"Even though the imperial court still focused on agriculture and suppressed business, following the ancestral precepts left by your father, the economic structure of the Ming Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes."    "At this time, a lazy emperor came to power. As long as it does not threaten the imperial power, The rule just turned a blind eye and passed by."

"The emperor's connivance and the collusion between officials and businessmen have become the norm from now on."

"If you and I saw such a scene, I'm afraid that all the officials and businessmen would have lost their heads. But it's a pity that you and I can't climb out of the imperial mausoleum."

Lin Che shook her head slightly and said with a wry smile:

“As collusion between officials and businessmen grew wildly in the Ming Dynasty, the relationship between businessmen and officials became increasingly close.”

"You have me, and I have you. This has also led to an unprecedented improvement in the status of businessmen, and the basic national policy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business has become a piece of paper."

"From the collusion between officials and businessmen, it has evolved to the integration of officials and businessmen. It is not impossible to try to enter the DPRK."

“Even in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, businessmen got rid of their previous ‘low status’ and gained the right to take political exams. This is not impossible.”

Hear this.

Zhu Biao stood up abruptly, his brows filled with panic.

"Well, if this happens, won't the Ming Dynasty follow the same path of the Song Dynasty?"

Lin Che waved her hand casually, signaling the prince to calm down, and said sadly:

"It would be great if we could recreate the prosperity of the Song Dynasty. Your Ming Dynasty will most likely not reach the economic level of the Song Dynasty."

"From the emperor to the common people, everyone was extremely poor, but they enriched the gentry and landlord class."

"The 'integration of government and business' has made many capable businessmen no longer willing to do business, breaking down class barriers and integrating into temples in large numbers."

"Businessmen value profits more than parting. Most businessmen are like this. This sentence is applicable from ancient times to the present."

"Now that you have money and power, what will you do next?"

“Isn’t it just about enjoying the benefits these things bring?”

"Anyway, it's something that the royal family doesn't like. It's very reasonable for everyone to check the leftovers that the emperor doesn't care about."

"To sum up the above requirements, that's why I assert that the business that your Zhu family despises the most is the only entry point for cronies to enter!"

"The whole story from 'collusion between officials and businessmen' to 'integration of officials and businessmen' to the impoverishment of the Ming Dynasty and the destruction of the country, is all here."

The words fell.

There was a shock.

After listening to Lin Che's thread.

Outside the wall, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened and he was so shocked that he felt a chill coming from the soles of his feet and instantly going straight to the top of his head.

From the collusion between government and businessmen to the integration of government and businessmen, doesn’t this replicate the Tatars’ path to national subjugation?

It's just that the Tatars in the former Yuan Dynasty were "emperors and merchants." The emperor personally opened up convenient conditions for big businessmen and enriched the royal family members and relatives.

When the country's survival is really at stake, those clans that enjoy the conveniences of the dynasty still have some fighting capacity and are willing to spend money to subsidize the military for the country.

However, the integration of government and business is even more terrifying. They own more than half of the country's wealth, but have no sense of responsibility for the country.

What's the harm in changing dynasties?

Officials can continue to be officials, and big businessmen can continue to make money. The so-called destruction of the country and the family will not have any impact on them.

Naturally, the work is done but the efforts are not made.

Clique's campaign to attract people to join cannot be separated from the support of money, and big businessmen's use of convenience cannot be separated from the protection of officials.

If this situation continues to develop, it will soon enter the stage of collusion between government and businessmen, and then it will be a scene of chaos as described by Lin Che.
