The Ming Dynasty started with saving the eldest grandson

Chapter 308 New Book Ideas

As a reformer, what are you most afraid of?
Killed by an enemy?

No, it was his own policies that were abolished by the counterattack forces.

There have been countless changes in Chinese history, and less than one of them has truly survived.

Chen Jingke is naturally worried about this.

Even though Zhu Yuanzhang had enough prestige to suppress the opposition, he was still cautious.

Many drastic policies are not actually implemented.

In the past, he always brought nobles and nobles together to fight against bureaucrats and gentry.

Even if it involves jeopardizing your interests, compensation will be made elsewhere.

Tiered taxation does not target specific groups, but applies to all.

It was getting dark, but Master Zhang from Longhu Mountain was still waiting at the door.

Until a certain ignorant butler came in and announced:

"With your support, the stepped tax collection will have a basis for implementation..."

At this time, the Xungui Group was the core of Ming Dynasty's rule and the controller of the army.

Fu Qing said with some worry: "Longhu Mountain is a famous Taoist sect. It's not good to offend too much."

Lao Zhu's ability to control the country was definitely stronger than Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.

"Don't worry about him, just let him wait outside."

The kind that offends everyone.

With their support, all problems are no longer a problem.

"I want to thank you for helping me realize this dream."

So much so that when he got home and saw Fuqing, he hugged her excitedly and spun her around in circles several times.

Chen Jingke was also very excited after what he said. What more could a husband ask for when he has such a wife?

Now that Xungui has been settled, everything is really no longer a problem.

Although I don’t know how Lao Zhu did it, it doesn’t stop Chen Jingke from being happy.

But it will also lead to turmoil across the country, which is not conducive to the development of Ming Dynasty.

With Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige and strength, he was naturally not afraid of such a counterattack.

But this is just a plan, and no one knows whether it can be implemented smoothly.

Chen Jingke briefly explained the matter: "...I thought I would be opposed by your nobles, but I didn't expect that your Majesty would settle the matter."

Bureaucrats, gentry, and powerful landlords are all useless in front of the military represented by nobles and nobles.

Chen Jingke didn't know what he was doing.

Then direct some of the excess talent and funds to business.

The butler said nothing and turned to leave.

Back then, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty relied on the loyalty of the military to torment the powerful vassal kings across the country. Otherwise, nothing would happen.

Chen Jingke was puzzled.

Chen Jingke scratched his head: "Maybe he was too happy to notice..."

"Later, as you grow older, you will understand that dreams are still dreams."

The young couple talked to each other for a long time.

Chen Jingke smiled and said, "I'm helping him."

But what he didn't expect was that Zhu Yuanzhang would calm down Xungui quietly.

"He respects me, protects me, meets all my needs, and tolerates all my shortcomings..."

"But God was kind and my dream came true."

Fuqing held his hand and said: "Every woman has a dream that her husband will be a peerless hero..."

Fuqing felt his joy and asked, "What makes you so happy?"

The counterattack will be stronger than ever.

And commercial development will ultimately affect the development of productivity.

It can not only reduce the intensity of counterattacks, but also promote business development.

"I'm relieved if your honorable nobles don't object to this matter."

Longhushan Zhang Zhenren? Zhang Yuchu? When did he come?
Fuqing said curiously: "He came to deliver the greeting card all morning. After being rejected, he has been waiting at the door... Didn't you see him when you came back?"

Hearing this, Fu Qing was not particularly happy. He just breathed a long sigh of relief and said:

Chen Jingke was silent for a moment and said guiltily: "I'm sorry for making you worry."

That's why Chen Jingke will start with small reforms and relax restrictions on business to a certain extent.

Seeing Fu Qing's face full of doubts, he explained: "What happened before made him lose his dignity..."

"The more I make things difficult for him, the more Taoist sects feel they owe him..."

“When he joins the religious ministry in the future, his work will be easier to carry out.

Fu Qing asked curiously: "Are you very optimistic about him?"

Chen Jingke nodded and said: "He has learned all three religions. This kind of person generally does not have an extreme and narrow-minded character."

"And he has traveled all over the world, seeking advice and learning from various sects, and has certain connections with each sect."

"It also has a good reputation in Confucianism and Buddhism."

"With this relationship, he can better coordinate the relationship between various factions. He is one of the most suitable people to work in the Religious Department."

Fu Qing nodded and said: "I see, then why don't you tell him this meaning? To prevent him from misunderstanding you."

Chen Jingke said: "This is also a test for him. In the end, it depends on his own choice."

Seeing that he already had an idea, Fu Qing said nothing more.

There were things to care about, but once he made his decision, she wouldn't say anything more. This was something her mother had instilled in her since she was a child, and she has always done this.

The topic unknowingly turned to writing.

Fu Qing said: "The sequel to Pirates will be finished soon. Should it be released now?"

Chen Jingke thought for a moment and said, "Let's go. The enthusiasm caused by the mission's return has subsided. It's just a good time to use this book to keep people's attention to the ocean."

Fuqing naturally wanted to see his work come out as soon as possible, so he happily said:
"Well, after it's completed, I'll find a bookseller to publish it all over the world."

Chen Jingke nodded and asked, "Do you want to take a break first, or are you preparing to write another book?"

Fuqing immediately knew that he had a new idea and said curiously:
"You have a new story? It won't be Pirates 3, right?"

Chen Jingke shook his head and said: "Pirates, don't worry, these two are enough for the time being."

"But there is indeed a new story. It is a very warm and healing story. You will definitely like it."

Fu Qing's eyes lit up and he said, "What story? Tell me quickly."

Chen Jingke said: "The story of a boy who dislikes cats but has a good nature and falls into hell by mistake..."

The young man got acquainted with a down-and-out soldier, and through the soldier's words, he learned the rules of the underworld.

As long as there are people in the world who remember them, the souls of the dead can always exist and live freely in the underworld.

Every year on July 15th, which is the Hungry Ghost Festival, the souls of the dead who have been sacrificed can walk through the underworld and go to the human world to meet their families.

If there is no one to offer sacrifices, you will not be able to cross the Huangquan River...

Correspondingly, the soul of the dead is completely forgotten by the world, and will dissipate between heaven and earth, ushering in true death.

This is the type of wandering soldier who has not been to the human world for a long time.

It means that no one has paid homage to him for a long time.

And he had a premonition that the last person who remembered him was about to die, and he was about to disappear.

His last wish was to travel to the underworld and take one last look at the world...

The young man was touched and decided to accompany him on his final journey of life...

During his wandering, the young man saw all kinds of beauties and wonders in the underworld and made many friends.

These partners include literati, businessmen, craftsmen, beggars...

But no matter what they did in life, they are all equal here.

Everyone heard about their experiences and joined in to help the homeless soldiers fulfill their last wishes.

Everyone was noisy and visited many places together and met many famous people.

I met the Suiren clan, the Youchao clan, the Shennong clan and so on, the ancestors of China.

I saw Li Bai and Su Shi competing in their talents...

I saw Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong...

I saw Xiang Yu and Lu Bu competing in martial arts...

He even participated in the battle between Bai Qi and Han Xin...

The companions were very excited and signed up to participate in the war.

The young man was very scared and didn't understand why his companions were so excited. Aren't they afraid of dying here?

Then his companions told him that as long as there are still people in the world who remember them, the dead souls will never really die.

This is just a game.

In fact, this is indeed the case. There is nothing wrong with the man with swords on his body.

But according to the rules of the game, they have to withdraw from the battlefield.

However, many people quietly took off their swords and guns and continued to participate in the war.

As we were talking, everyone started talking...

What was originally a grand battle turned into a mess, making Bai Qi and Han Xin jump in anger.

The farce is over and everyone continues on their way.

Then a sad scene appeared without warning.

A companion who was talking and laughing a moment ago suddenly glowed with golden light, and then disappeared between heaven and earth.

Before leaving, he said the last two words to everyone with a smile:

"Thank you."

It turned out that he was about to be forgotten by the world, but he said nothing and suffered all this silently.

Seeing his companion leave with his own eyes gave the young man an unparalleled shock...

As a young man, he could not accept death.

He didn't understand why these people were forgotten?
Even if they are just insignificant people, what about their children?

Shouldn't we worship our ancestors?
The story takes a turn here, from the joy in the first half to a climax.

There is only one core purpose. The existence of human beings did not come out of thin air.

It is the result of hard work from generation to generation.

As descendants, we should not forget the contributions of our ancestors.

Forgetting is shameful.

The end of the story is not a happy ending, as the wandering soldiers finally dissipate.

However, Chen Jingke arranged a warm farewell ceremony for the young man and the wandering soldier.

Both parties expressed their gratitude to each other, then encouraged each other and blessed each other.

Finally, the wandering soldier turned into starlight and disappeared between heaven and earth with a smile.

After experiencing this incident, the young man grew up and understood many truths.

After returning to the human world, he became more kind, filial to the elderly and caring for children...
