Nine hundred and twentieth chapters hold their own opinions

Dong Ming's memorial was fiercely verbally. Although there were some mistakes in the words, his heart was revealed in it. This was why Zhu Yicheng was not angry after reading it, but instead called on the Military Affairs Office.

Liao Huanzhi had thought about this before coming, and he didn't find it strange to Zhu Yicheng's attitude when he asked him, and immediately started talking. However, Liao Huanzhi's words were empty and he said a lot of rash words but did not point the point. After hearing Zhu Yicheng waved his hand angrily, Liao Huanzhi stopped.

"Liao Qing, what do you mean is that although Dong Ming is extreme, he has the heart to serve the people? Let me not blame him?"

"The emperor is wise!" Liao Huanzhi replied.

Zhu Yicheng asked again: "What do Liao Qing thinks about what Dong Ming mentioned?"

"When I returned to the emperor, agriculture is the foundation of the country and commerce is the national policy. Both are indispensable. I think Dong Ming's words are limited to one place and there is no overall situation. There is inevitably some deviation in his thoughts. But I also think that Dong Ming's concerns should also be considered one or two. The so-called everything in the world is divided into yin and yang, and only if yin and yang are balanced can the unity of the world be integrated. The same is true for national affairs. I think that national policy is important, and the foundation of the country is the foundation of the country and needs to be paid attention to..."

Zhu Yicheng nodded slowly. He understood what Liao Huanzhi meant. This old guy was clearly using a mixed method and said something that seemed reasonable but didn't make any decision.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yicheng felt a little uncomfortable. Liao Huanzhi was cautious. Zhu Yicheng naturally knew that, and his ability was not bad. He was trembling in the years after the Ming Dynasty and did a lot of things for the Ming Dynasty. The Ming Dynasty has its current atmosphere, and Liao Huanzhi, as the chief military aircraft, naturally made an indelible contribution.

However, as time went by, the flaws in Liao Huanzhi's character were gradually exposed, especially after the establishment of the Military Affairs Office, Liao Huanzhi was still very responsible at the beginning? But then Wu Sidao withdrew from the Military Affairs Office? Then Shi Yi entered the Military Affairs Office directly, and then the Ming Dynasty was waiting for various things? Liao Huanzhi naturally had some ideas.

To be honest, as the term of office is approaching, Liao Huanzhi has long been determined to retreat. Now, whenever he is in a stable manner, he only wants to retreat safely? Then he enjoys wealth and glory. Zhu Yicheng can naturally see his little thoughts clearly? He was also a little angry at the same time. But if you think about it carefully, Liao Huanzhi did this and kept a low profile, thinking that he was just protecting himself.

Thinking of his hard work in the past, Zhu Yicheng couldn't say anything? He, Zhu Yicheng, was not Zhu Yuanzhang? He still took some care of the heroes. For example, Liao Huanzhi retreated safely. In the future, the comments on history books will be a good story for the monarch and ministers, so Zhu Yicheng did not intend to blame him.

But then again, the importance of the Military Affairs Office is well known to everyone in the world? As the Military Affairs Minister, especially the Chief Military Affairs Minister, you must have the courage to take responsibility. If Liao Huanzhi continues like this, it will not be of any benefit to the operation of the Military Affairs Office and the administration of the court.

Put this aside for the time being? Zhu Yicheng turned his attention to Sun Jiagan and asked Sun Jiagan what he thought about the matter.

Compared with Liao Huanzhi? Sun Jiagan clearly supports Dong Ming. He pointed out that it is not only Guangzhou at present? With the development of commerce? Especially the application of various advanced technologies of the Academy of Sciences? Nowadays, similar situations are happening in various parts of the Ming Dynasty.

For example, in Jiangnan, due to the sharp increase in demand for silk, the people changed large areas of farmland into mulberry fields, and used mulberry trees to raise silkworms to gain benefits. As for the use of steam engines in the textile industry, many cloth factories appeared in Shandong, Jiangbei, including the Central Plains, and the demand for cotton in these cloth factories has also continued to increase, resulting in the rising prices of such crops, which has led to the public the situation mentioned in the memorial of Dong Ming.

In addition, the development of mining and smelting has also attracted a large number of people to participate. The continuous construction of these, including other types of factories, has brought about earth-shaking changes in the lives of ordinary people in China. It should be noted that for thousands of years, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have performed their own duties, and ordinary people have relied on the land to make a living, working from sunrise to sunset, and resting from sunset. This has always been the case.

But now all this has begun to break, which has led to a sudden change in the entire social structure. Coupled with the impact of agriculture under the influence of industry and commerce, there are vague concerns about imbalance.

This is also the real reason why Dong Ming wrote this memorial. It has always been unstable for no agriculture. If there is a problem in agriculture, it will have a great impact on the entire country. Sun Jiagan also considered this point, so he suggested that the court should pay attention to industry and commerce, but it should pay more attention to agriculture and should never let problems in agriculture.

"I think Dong Ming's words are realistic, and what I am concerned about is my Ming Dynasty. It is my blessing for the Ming Dynasty and your majesty to have a minister like Dong Ming in the court! I also ask the emperor to think about my Ming Dynasty forever and issue an order to strictly order all localities not to destroy agriculture without authorization, restrain industry and commerce, severely punish one or two, and summon the world to ensure the foundation of the country!"

Sun Jiagan finally said this passionately. After saying that, he bowed to Zhu Yicheng and then sat back.

"I don't agree with Lord Sun's words." As soon as Sun Jiagan finished speaking, before Zhu Yicheng could speak, He Xianzu, who was sitting next to Sun Jiagan, spoke.

He Xianzu stood up, bowed to Zhu Yicheng first, then turned to Sun Jiagan and said, "Mr. Sun just said that there is no farming, and He agreed with this, but Mr. Sun should not forget two other words, that is, no work is not rich, no businessman can survive! As for the basics of the country, Lang Renbao also said: "Souncing wealthy businessmen in the world has become the foundation of the country. Since the revival of the Ming Dynasty, my country has been based on agriculture, businessman as the pulse, and workmanship is the prosperity! This time, the national policy is determined."

After a glance, He Xianzu said: "In the Ming Dynasty, how many years were in the world? I think you all know, what was the peak of the Qing Dynasty? And how many years were like this? As a military aircraft, you naturally know even more! Where did these years come from? Where did the tax come from? Did they rely on agriculture?"

He Xianzu was right. The national fiscal revenue in the Ming Dynasty was only a few million taels, and this income was even smaller when encountering natural disasters and man-made disasters. It was said how the previous Ming Dynasty died, some said that it was destroyed by party struggles, some said that it was destroyed by bandits, and some said that it was destroyed by the Qing Dynasty. But in fact, the real reason was that the national fiscal collapse led to the exposure of various problems, which eventually led to the previous Ming Dynasty collapse.

Now, the Ming Dynasty has adopted a new national policy in Zhu Yicheng's hands. At present, the Ming Dynasty's fiscal revenue has reached a height that has never been in history, with an annual annual revenue of more than 250 million yuan. This number must be placed in the past that no one would believe.

Moreover, this number is still rising. As North America, Xinming's development began to enter a period of stable development, the local investment in Xinming in Daming gradually decreased. Instead, Xinming's reliance on production and resources will bring continuous wealth to Daming in the future.

As for the Nanyang side, Luzon's capture also allowed the Ming Dynasty to obtain an overseas territory and wealth from the Nanyang side. The next is Johor. Once Johor is taken down, the entire South China Sea will become the back garden of the Ming Dynasty, thus becoming a continuous treasure pot for the Ming Dynasty.

He Xianzu was overseas for a long time. When he was in Ryukyu, he not only shouldered tasks, but also was the person in charge of Ryukyu trade and the Ming Dynasty's foreign trade development. He was very clear about this.

It is precisely for these reasons that He Xianzu showed a completely different view from Sun Jiagan. He believed that the current national policy of the Ming Dynasty must not be changed, not only cannot be changed, but also strengthened support for industry and commerce. Although the agriculture aspect is important, it is not so serious. The writing of Dong Ming’s memorial is completely alarmist.

"Mr. He!" Sun Jiagan couldn't sit still and immediately stood up and said, "Although what Mr. He said is a fact, can he know one thing? If there is no agriculture, how can the world be safe? In all dynasties, what is the reason for the turmoil in the world? Isn't it because the people have no food to eat? If you blindly pursue profits and ignore farming and sericulture, what's the use of no amount of gold and silver? Can gold and silver be used as food? Don't forget, now that my Ming Dynasty blocked the Qing court, it was my Ming Dynasty blocked the Qing court and even if I could buy supplies with silver. Isn't this proven this?"

He Xianzu immediately laughed and asked back: "According to Lord Sun, what if the Qing court could buy supplies? Wouldn't this gold and silver be useful? Besides, now our Ming Dynasty's fertile land overseas is more than a thousand miles away? The maritime trade is prosperous, isn't there enough food transported from overseas every year? Isn't this the way to business with its profits? It's even more a balanced way!"

"But now it has become a trend for local areas to destroy fields and change to mulberry cotton. The local prices have been rising again and again. How can ordinary people afford it? Once this continues, the local area will be in chaos!"

"I don't think so. The court did not ask them to do this, nor did they ask them to destroy the land and change the planting. How to farm is not the people's own business? Besides, people are pursuing profits, so it is not surprising that they do this. They plant whatever benefits can bring. Isn't it natural? Maybe in a few days, the people think that growing grain is more profitable, and they may all re-plant the fields and grow grain. Will you, Lord Sun, start to worry about the instability of industry and commerce and the trouble of sharp decline in age?"

As He Xianzu and Sun Jiagan said one by one, the conversation soon brought a clear smell of gunpowder. The two of them held the same word, and refused to give in to each other. One said that the other party ignored the country's foundation and the people's lives and deaths, while the other said that the other party only saw the importance of agriculture but did not see the benefits of industry and commerce.

No one was convinced by anyone, and no one could tell anyone. The two of them finally forgot the occasion and started arguing in front of Zhu Yicheng.
