Liu Hongxun’s doubts make sense.

In Liu Hongxun's view, the biggest problem in the Ming Dynasty over the years was party struggles! Ministers formed gangs and helped each other, and there was no right or wrong.

Nowadays, the development of the Alumni Association is extremely rapid, and this momentum has far exceeded the momentum of the Donglin and the eunuch party at that time.

Moreover, unlike the eunuch party and Donglin, the internal internal of the alumni association is closer. Every now and then, meetings must be held openly, and there are even various programs and documents circulated within.

Local committee members have great power and can even deal with internal personnel in the name of Huiji.

This is completely different from the former eunuch party and the Donglin party.

Liu Hongxun was deeply worried about this.

Because the various departments and provinces of the court seem to have begun to appear in a large number of members of the alumni association, it’s okay for others. Now this alumni association has spread directly to the cabinet. Think about it, who will be the world of the Ming Dynasty in the future?

Faced with Liu Hongxun's doubts, Li Qiyuan seemed very calm and said calmly: "What Mr. Liu said is indeed true. I recognize the constitution of the alumni association and also admire its program. Therefore, why not join the association?

Liu Hongxun immediately retorted: "Li Gongnai is a minister. Are you not worried that someone would say that Li Gongnai is forming a clique for personal gain?"

Li Qiyuan glanced at Liu Hongxun and said, "What about Liu Gong? Liu Gong thinks he is a disciple of a saint, right?"

"yes.."

"You think you are a disciple of a saint or a scholar. Could it be that you are a clique?"

Liu Hongxun frowned and hurriedly said, "This... is different."

"How different? If this is a party, then I am indeed a party. However, the word "private" seems absurd. The constitution of the alumni association is for the public, so where does it come from for private purposes?"

Liu Hongxun couldn't help but feel heartbroken. He knew that he could not argue because many ministers in the hall seemed to be ready to defend Li Qiyuan. It was obvious that there were many accomplices of Li Qiyuan.

Liu Hongxun looked at Emperor Tianqi and said, "Your Majesty, what I am worried about is not Mr. Li's ethics, but... I am afraid that this classmate will spread and even the hearts of the world will fluctuate. For all the party members will inevitably shake the palace. If this continues, the tail will be difficult to lose, and eventually... the world will be in trouble. Maybe it was good when the classmate association was first established, but once the tail was difficult to lose... the national discipline will be gone, and the party will fight against the differences... Isn't this lesson enough?"

Liu Hongxun believed that his words would inevitably arouse the alertness of Emperor Aoki.

Emperor Tianqi smiled and said disapprovingly: "Haha, I didn't expect that this was discovered by Liu Qing. The class reunion... um... not bad, Li Qing is indeed a member of the class reunion, I know this."

"But your Majesty..."

Liu Hongxunben also wanted to take the opportunity to persuade Emperor Tianqi to pay attention to this matter.

Emperor Tianqi interrupted, "Okay, Liu Qing, don't worry about it. This matter... I have my own concerns. Is there anything else for you?"

Liu Hongxun didn't expect that Emperor Tianqi was completely indifferent to the appearance of being indifferent to the salt.

This made Liu Hongxun speechless for a moment, and he became more worried.

Is Your Majesty's temperament so heartless?

Even if the emperor is foolish, he will definitely worry about his subordinates forming a clique.

Regardless of whether the purpose of forming a party is good or bad, it will obviously shake the foundation of imperial power.

But Your Majesty... he ignored this... This is a bit incredible.

Liu Hongxun still wants to persuade him again.

But Emperor Tianqi said at this time, "Okay, since you have nothing to do, then you should all retreat. Oh, the people from the class reunion stay for a life meeting."

Liu Hongxun: “…”

But Li Qiyuan and others looked at Liu Hongxun with a smile.

Liu Hongxun was confused.

Many ministers stayed.

Only Liu Hongxun retreated in disappointment.

At this time, he had already observed that the number of students who had left behind was as many as 20% of the same party members.

Behind me, I could clearly hear the voice of Emperor Tianqi in the hall: "Come, come, move the tables and chairs, put them back, have a meeting... I will learn the newly issued charter today."

Liu Hongxun suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of loneliness.

But in the hall... Emperor Tianqi was already sitting upright.

Dozens of ministers sat in a row.

Emperor Tianqi said: "Zhou Qing's family..."

A man with a Hanlin appearance stood up: "On."

"You just came back from Liaodong. Let me tell you, why production is so important, everyone should pay attention to it."

This week, Hanlin suddenly turned red and said excitedly: "Yes."

"The key to the strength of a country and the wealth of the people is production. If the output is abundant, then the world's great governance will not be far away. Therefore, since ancient times, all the sages and wise ministers have always regarded swearing in agriculture as the first priority, because all the outputs of the world all come from land in all dynasties. Therefore, agriculture is the foundation of the world. But today... Although agriculture is the root, it is necessary to be rich and rely on the output of land, it is far from satisfying the subjects of the world. Only wild beasts only care about eating and drinking, how can people become like wild beasts?"

"Just like the celadon that Your Majesty has placed in the hall, His Majesty likes this celadon, so the furnishings are loved by the princes and ministers, and they also love to furnish them in their houses. But what about the people... Do the people don't like celadon? Throughout the dynasties, celadons have produced few celadons, so there are very few people who furnish celadons. In the end... those who can furnish celadons in the world are only Your Majesty and the princes. So... can such a problem be solved? It was difficult to solve in the past, because the people could not eat and drink enough, so how could they spend a lot of manpower and material resources to produce celadons to meet the needs of the people in the world?"

After pausing, he continued, "But today is different... Therefore... this is called productivity. This productivity encompasses the output of land, mining, and all the outputs in the world. The richer the output, the stronger the country and the richer the people. Therefore, the student association will write the development of productivity into the program, because this is the most important thing in the world besides the harmony of the world."

"Performance is the sum of all outputs. Under this productivity, many branches are involved. If it involves production, there will inevitably be production relations. What is production relations? It is both laborers and organizers, as well as shareholders who provide money, including courts, government officials, merchants, craftsmen... and laborers... and so on... These things need to be closely connected and conflicts are inevitable. Therefore, to obtain productivity, we must not only coordinate production relations, but also..."

Everyone held their pens and took notes carefully.

Even Emperor Aoki is not immune to the common people.

In fact, if these things were put more than ten years ago, people would only regard these words as books and jokes.

After all, at that time, we were just relying on land to produce grain.

But with the emergence of many new things over the past decade.

The original Confucian theory can no longer explain many phenomena.

As a result, most people in the whole world began to be confused. The essence of the Four Books and Five Classics was that from the appearance of Confucius to the respect of Confucianism, and then to the present day, production relations have been standing still.

But once the small peasant economy is destroyed, a large number of workshops and industries emerge, the original knowledge system actually begins to collapse.

When a theory can no longer explain many phenomena that occur in reality, even if this theory is deeply rooted, many smart people will gradually come back to the point.

The student association has begun to try to explain new phenomena, and has begun to try to understand its operation on top of this phenomenon. Its essence is to master its rules.

This has a sudden enlightenment for many people.

Emperor Tianqi is no longer young, and he is no longer the boy he used to be, and he seems very young at this time.

But a person's mind has not changed, he still likes new things.

There are also a large number of officials in the court, and their essence is not necessarily that they cannot be transformed into ancient times.

You should know that in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, a large number of missionaries appeared in the Ming Dynasty, and many scholars and officials began to try to understand the Western learning at that time, including cabinet ministers like Xu Guangqi.

After a study session, Emperor Aoki took notes, pondered it over and over again, and then expressed his opinions with others.

Many things have new explanations, which makes people feel enlightened.

"So the fundamental reason is to use everything in the world for my own use. Coal and pig iron can make steel, steel can be used as weapons, or as production tools, borrowing these... to obtain money, and then continue to invest money in new production, just like the water of the Yangtze River, endlessly."

After Emperor Tianqi sighed, he looked at Zhou Hanlin: "What do you know when you go to Liaodong this time?"

So everyone listened carefully with their breath.

Zhou Hanlin's eyes seemed to gather light, with joy and yearning, "It's really a thousand miles a day. That barren land is now cultivated and land has been made. Countless workshops have risen, and a large number of people have gathered together, merchants gathered, and there are many merchants along the way, and the goods in the shops are dazzling, and the people are still rich. Not only that, the development of the land has also achieved miraculous results. I heard that Liaodong has opened thousands of miles of land and bandits... No, our classmates are now students of the Alumni Association, such as Zhang Xianzhong, Li Zicheng, etc., and the Jiannu people who marched westward. It is said that soon after, they will fight with the Russians, and the population that goes to Liaodong is even more numerous..."
