Chapter 778 The Prince's Filial Piety
Guo Zongxun thought it was inconvenient to sit in the study, so he asked Ye Hua to go to the flower hall, but the boy turned his back. Ye Hua smiled helplessly and followed him over.
There is a wooden floor in the flower hall with a lonely low table on it, which is somewhat similar to the Japanese tatami... In the past, Ye Hua taught students here, and the master and apprentice knelt on each other and chatted together, which was so uncomfortable.
Guo Zongxun chose this place and wanted to have a good talk with his master!
When Guo Zongxun started to speak out, he said bluntly, "The world is hard to cure!"
Ye Hua nodded, "There were four people in ancient times, namely scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. Since the Tang Dynasty, two more have been added, one is a soldier and one is a monk!"
Guo Zongxun nodded and said, "Since Wu Zetian, he has believed in Buddhism, built Buddha statues, and given temple land, and exempted taxes. The monks chanted Buddha's name while doing business, and made countless money. He specifically deceived the foolish people and disrupted the orthodox Chinese... The father's practice of destroying Buddha was to follow the heavens and respond to people, and the monks also took it upon themselves!"
Guo Zongxun hated him with grim teeth. This hatred was not instilled by Ye Hua. Including great scholars such as Qi Tongwen, they had long been rampant of Buddhism and disturbed Confucius and Mencius's ways, and they hated it deeply. All Chai Rong destroyed Buddhism in the eyes of knowledgeable people, and they were just doing things that others dare not do.
"After talking about Buddha, let's talk about the soldiers." Guo Zongxun said: "The Anshi Rebellion, the separatist vassal states, and the wars continued for two hundred years. The Central Plains were covered with white bones, and there was no one in a thousand miles... The father focused on eliminating the vassal states, conquering the military power of the world, and fighting south and north, unifying the world. The martial arts were so prosperous that even the Qin emperor and Han martial arts could be comparable!"
The child put gold on his father's face, not to mention that he didn't say anything nonsense. Ye Hua naturally nodded, "Your Majesty cleared the world. If the troops were solved, the world would be restored to the state of the four people. Will the world be ruled?"
Guo Zongxun smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Master knew it and asked, "There are no four people now, I'm afraid there are more than 40 people!"
The most intuitive point of the development of industry and commerce and the emergence of the industrial revolution is that the structure of this world has completely changed.
First of all, merchants began to differentiate... In the past, most merchants sold goods from south to north, from north to south, and earn interest rate spreads. Nowadays, merchants are much more complicated. The first ones appear are textile workshop owners, mine owners, steel factory owners, and machinery factory owners... These people can all be attributed to large industrial capitalists.
Large factories need financing channels, and almost at the same time, financial capital groups emerged.
In addition, for the need for long-distance trafficking, the original traditional merchants also replaced guns and cannons. They organized a huge caravan with thousands of horse-drawn caravans and dozens of ships. There were more than tens of thousands of porters and porters alone!
Workers are nurtured at the same time as the merchant group!
At present, the urbanization of Dazhou is more than 20%, and it is still accelerating rapidly. Tens of millions of workers are flooding the streets and alleys of the city.
In the past, craftsmen were more craftsmen. The father and son passed on their inheritance and received the work. The grandfather and grandson closed the door and the whole family finished it.
Just like the land of farmers, these craftsmen regard their skills as heirlooms and their lives as well. They would rather bring them into a coffin than teach them to outsiders.
Now, in order to provide sufficient workers, special technical schools have appeared on the land of Dazhou. Those valuable knowledge that craftsmen regard as their lifeblood can be learned at will.
There are many capitalists and many workers, and the third largest number in the Great Zhou Dynasty is that there are many scholars!
If there are too many scholars, it means there are too many things!
After all, there are a few who can enter the court and become officials. More than 90% of scholars either go to academies to teach or engage in various industries, including the lowly industrial and commercial industries they despise.
There are also some scholars who simply write articles, comments, and earn royalties to live a life.
What surprised Ye Hua was that there was a serialization!
A few days ago, Ye Xi posted comics in the newspaper. In fact, long before him, someone had written operas, and the opera was divided into one and one discount. They were serialized in the newspapers from time to time.
Some people even abandoned the format of opera and instead wrote handwriting novels that are more suitable for reading... For example, the familiar "The West Chamber" and "The Fairy" also have stories about the Three Kingdoms and the nations... Ye Hua also read a story about a monk who went to the West to obtain scriptures with a lustful monkey... In short, in addition to the Red Chamber, the four famous works that are familiar to later generations seem to have the original versions, which are very rough and incomplete, but many people have made a living from this, and people have gradually accepted it. They think that making money by writing things is the same as making money with hard work, and there is no insult or gentleness.
On the contrary, those experts in this art will be popular, especially the opera troupes who often urge manuscripts and pay high prices to buy out opera texts, rehearse carefully to please the audience.
Whenever a drama sensation in the capital, the author's value will increase by more than several times!
In short, the Industrial Revolution brought earth-shaking changes to the Great Zhou Dynasty. All walks of life and a hundred flowers bloomed.
"I have been running in rural cities for a long time. The Sunday is changing with each passing day. I see it in my eyes, and I am both happy and frightened... Ask myself, do I have the ability to control such a complicated situation?"
Guo Zongxun raised his head, "The father is extremely wise, but he is focused on using troops from outside. When he is internal, he just knows how to collect taxes and grain, and arm more soldiers... In fact, the father should be more patient!"
The son did not talk about his father, Guo Zongxun stopped and did not continue to say... But Ye Hua clearly said that Chai Rong, who was determined to unify the world, did not deeply understand what was going on in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and he was not even as clear as the prince!
...
"After saying so much, the disciple has only one meaning. Governing the world is not a matter of one person. Master can let go and discuss with several friends about how to reorganize. The disciple supports him with all his strength, and he will never say anything else!"
The prince's simply surprised and happy Ye Hua, and he stood up and bowed to the prince.
"Your Highness, the so-called teaching and learning between you, your highness, really makes me look at you with admiration!" Ye Hua said with relief: "The matters outside the palace will be handled as soon as possible. It's just the matters in the palace. What are your plans?"
Guo Zongxun thought for a while and said, "Master, I want to destroy the eunuch!"
Ye Hua frowned, "Your Highness, why do you think so?"
Guo Zongxun scratched his head, "Disciples think that factories and mines all need labor... In Japan, the late emperor ordered several times to release slaves, but the royal family raised the most slaves... and they all cut them, and they were all incomplete and sarcastic. Even if they were released, they could not work. It was really a waste."
Ye Hua scratched his head. He thought Guo Zongxun would say something that moved the world and compassionately... In fact, it was not the case at all. The young man just felt sorry for the great labor force!
Think about it, isn’t the so-called liberation of black slaves also originating from labor force disputes? As for other fancy reasons, they are completely far-fetched by later generations and added.
"Your Highness, I don't object to the abolition of the eunuchs, but have you ever thought about what to do in the harem?"
Guo Zongxun blinked his eyes and said proudly: "I have already thought about it. Let the Zongren Mansion be responsible for the matter in the future. Now, let my third brother take care of it!"
...
The palace is in full swing at this moment.
The Emperor of Great Zhou was so angry that his face turned blue.
"Disappearing son, you are unruly son! If you don't listen to your father, you only listen to your elder brother. Do you want to kill your father so that you can seize power and usurp the throne?"
Chai Rong panted and scolded angrily. Guo Zongrang lowered his eyebrows and listened patiently. Fortunately, his father didn't have much strength and he was about to breathe after a few words of cursing. Guo Zongrang came to his father and patted his chest without listening.
"How dare I do something ruthless!"
"What are you doing now?" Chai Rong said, biting his back teeth.
"The child is taking care of... the patient!"
"Patient?" Chai Rong was furious!
"That's right, my father is a patient!" The third prince said straightforwardly.
As expected, Guo Zongrang was scolded again. Anyway, he was not afraid of boiling water. "Father, if you don't listen to children, you must listen to the imperial physician. You should take care of yourself and take care of yourself. Don't worry about being sad!"
"You dare to care about me..." Chai Rong wanted to curse, but suddenly the drug addiction came back again, tears flowed out from the corners of his eyes, his nose fell, and his whole body kept twitching!
"Pharm, give me medicine!"
The imperial physician held the pill and wanted to deliver it to His Majesty to his mouth. However, Guo Zong asked to snatch it and threw it on the ground. He stomped it a few times, and turned into powder. "This is something that harms people, and you are not allowed to eat it!"
"Rebellious son! I'm bullying the sky!" Chai Rong screamed in anger, his whole body twitched, and in great pain. Guo Zongrang saw it and felt distressed, but now is not the time to indulge him, he gritted his teeth!
"Father, the children are all for the good of the father!"
Guo Zongrang hurriedly said to the imperial physician: "Hurry up and hold your father down, and then use acupuncture to calm down your father to sleep!"
Among the imperial physicians, there are no masters, but they dare not take action... The saint wanted to take medicine, so he gave him medicine. Even if he died, he would not blame the imperial physician for being on his head.
But if you disobey the saint's order or use medicine randomly, you will kill the nine clans.
Fortunately, with the third prince standing in front of them, they were no longer afraid.
Chai Rong had no strength. The two imperial physicians held their hands and feet, and the other one was on his head and needled in front of his chest... It was true that Chai Rong fell asleep in less than a quarter of an hour.
Guo Zongrang was overjoyed and took the Shenshen decoction made by the imperial physician, pried open his mouth, and poured it into his father's mouth.
Chai Rong's addiction to medicine is still very serious. When he was sleeping, he kept tossing, gritting his teeth, talking in his sleep, and scolding his unruly... It happened that Guo Zongxun came back from Ye Hua's mansion at this time. He changed into casual clothes and hurried to the bedroom.
"Third brother, how about my father?"
"I still want to take pills, I've stopped it."
Guo Zongxun nodded, "That's good, remember, you must not let your father eat it again."
Guo Zongrang grinned bitterly, "I'm afraid I can stop it once, but I can't stop it the second time, the third time... You don't know, my father's eyes were all red just now! It's terrifying!"
