First Minister of Ming Dynasty Chapter 235

Popular recommendation:

Like Han Xiuniang, there are not a few women whose family status has been improved.

Traditions are difficult to change, but the benefits are always there.

One more labor force is one more income. With this income, it is a dish on the table, the new clothes on the body at the end of the year, and a new house in a few years.

Simple people, in fact, see it very clearly.

Especially in the south of the Yangtze River, even if there is no uprising of the Red Turbans, the order is still there. The Huang Daopo, a few decades ago, led the women to plant cotton, weave cotton cloth, and embark on the road of prosperity.

Today's Zhu Jiajun has lifted the restrictions from the law, and can go to school, work, and even become an official!

This is very important. In the past, when women went out to work in the workshop, if something bad happened, how would they be counted? Don't think that everyone sympathizes with the weak. In fact, many people will jump out and say that women are not obedient to women, so why not stay at home honestly?

If you come out to work and show your face, you are not a serious person, and you deserve to suffer misfortune!

Is it weird?

It seems that until a few hundred years later, in some magical country, women were rudely offended, and it was still women who were at fault.

In conclusion, isn't it still not giving women property rights and not treating women as human beings?

Therefore, before the basic principles are established, pushing women to the workplace and creating more wealth will often backfire and get the opposite result.

Parents dare not let their daughters go out, and husbands do not trust their wives to enter the workshop... No amount of income can make up for the lack of safety.

But when the new decree was announced, the situation of women was much better, at least the attitude of the imperial court made it clear... If a woman encounters any problems while working outside, the yamen will definitely avenge the woman's grievance.

With this attitude, thousands of women came out. .

When tens of thousands of Zhu family troops wear mandarin duck jackets made by female workers, most of them tend to let women come out to do things...

Zhang Ximeng thinks that he has made a good start, and he is not sure how far he will eventually develop, but since he has taken this step, it is unlikely to stop.

always getting better.

Zhang Ximeng told himself like this, but he didn't expect that some things don't need to wait too long, and they can really get immediate results.

This time Zhu Yuanzhang mobilized 65,000 people, starting from Jinling and heading straight for Hongdu.

The navy was still the weak spot of the Zhu family's army, so both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Ximeng just asked Yu Tonghai and Liao Yongzhong to defend the existing front.

If you want to achieve results, it depends on the army.

This team came out and headed towards Lishui first, then went to Xuancheng, Shexian, then Xiuning, Qimen, and then moved forward to Fuliangzhou. Maybe the big guy has no impression of Fuliangzhou, but Fuliangzhou There is a town below, most people will have heard of it, the town is called Jingdezhen!

Zhang Ximeng has a soft spot for this town.

"Mr. Fenglin, you are very knowledgeable, do you know how much money Jingdezhen earns every year?"

Zhu Sheng laughed, "Zhang Xiang, this can't help the old man, to be honest, the old man has a friend named Shen Xiu, he died in the first few years, otherwise, if you invite him over, you will be able to discuss the money and money with Zhang Xiang. road."

Zhang Ximeng was stunned, and then said, "This Shen Xiu is called Shen Wansan?"

Zhu Sheng said with a smile: "Indeed, someone called him that. In the early years of the Shen family, they cultivated their fields and could only be regarded as a middle-class family. However, Shen Xiu is good at business. When Bang comes back, he can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver. He told me that if you go out with a boat of porcelain, you can get back half a boat of silver, half a boat of spices, and half a boat of spices can be exchanged for three boats of porcelain. Stunned!"

Seeing that they were chatting happily, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but say: "This Shen Xiu has actually been overseas. If he is alive, we really want to invite him over and have a good chat."

Zhang Ximeng just rolled his eyes, thinking that you should stop thinking about it, or else you will be blamed again.

I believe many people have heard that Shen Wansan repaired the Nanjing City Wall, but was jealous of Lao Zhu and almost lost his head. It was Queen Ma who persuaded him to save Shen Wansan's head. Under the blow, the Shen family fell, and Shen Wansan was sent to Yunnan and died!

It was so widespread that many people believed it to be true.

Moreover, in the history of the Ming Dynasty, it was also grandly written into the biography of Empress Ma. The official history said so, it can't be wrong, right?

But the problem is that according to Wujiang County Chronicle, it is clearly written that when Zhang Shicheng occupied Suzhou, Shen Wansan died, and his two sons also helped Zhang Shicheng, a loyal minister of the Yuan Dynasty, to transport food to Dadu.

Since Shen Wansan died long before Zhang Shicheng occupied Suzhou, then in any case, it is impossible for him to help Old Zhu repair the city wall, and he was killed by Zhu Yuanzhang's companion.

There is a conflict between the county annals and the official history, which one should you trust?

In fact, this is not difficult, as long as you have a little common sense, you can understand that repairing the city wall of Yingtian is the foundation of the old Zhu family.

Will it be handed over to a businessman?

Also, is it possible to build a city wall with money?

For such a large project, it is almost necessary to use the country's strength to recruit hundreds of thousands or hundreds of thousands of civilians, and the bricks and stones used for the city wall must be specially fired locally.

From the Ministry of Industry to the local area, countless officials have to pour their efforts on the city wall. If something goes wrong, it will cause the head to roll and the blood to flow into the river.

At this time, a businessman stood up and said that I had money and could build the city wall, which was better than the yamen at all levels... If you don't believe me, let me try!

Then the king of a country agreed, and the yamen at all levels had nothing to say, and he really built a third of the capital city wall!

This kind of joke is almost the level of unpopular jokes when chatting in teahouses.

But if this is the case, why is it written into the official history?

This brings up another very interesting thing, is the history of Ming Dynasty well cultivated?

It seems good, after all, the mainstream experts and academic circles mostly praise the history of the Ming Dynasty.

But there are also such a group of people who are overly self-sufficient and think that Ming Shixiu is terrible, but it does not mean that Shi has blackened the old Zhu family and repaired history to the previous dynasty. Who can say good things?

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years, Mimi read! It's so easy to use, I rely on this reading aloud to pass the time before driving and before going to bed, you can download it here]

The problem is that the history of Ming Dynasty is very dark.

Just like Shen Wansan, it is obviously a folklore, and even the local county annals can be seen to be fake, and no one believes it.

But those who cultivated the history of the Ming Dynasty wrote it openly.

The list goes on for examples like this.

It took more than 100 years for the history of Ming Dynasty to be cultivated, and such a thing was cultivated. If you want to say that the people who cultivated history have a vicious heart, it is not wrong... But the level is so low, and it is a food and a fun, and it is really speechless.

Zhu Sheng talked eloquently. He really knew Shen Wansan quite a bit. This man made his fortune by doing overseas trade. Among them, Jingdezhen porcelain accounted for 30% of his income, and he earned 50,000 taels every year.

After Shen Wansan made some money, he took out some to help Zhu Sheng run the school.

Until a few years ago, Shen Wansan died, and he had no interaction with Lao Zhufu.

Zhu Yuanzhang belonged to the march of cooks, and was specially responsible for the blame.

"According to my rough estimate, Jingdezhen makes 300,000 to 500,000 to 500,000 taels of profit a year from overseas business alone. If you include domestic business, you really don't know how much."

Zhang Ximeng asked, "Mr. Fenglin, do you think there are female workers in this Jingdezhen porcelain workshop?"

"how come!"

Zhu Sheng couldn't help shaking his head, "Zhang Xiang, you are confused. Porcelain-making skills are people's jobs, passed down from generation to generation. It has always been passed down from male to female. How can there be female workers?"

Zhang Ximeng still didn't give up, "Even if the key porcelain firing techniques are not taught, women workers can always do those simple paintings, right?"

Zhu Sheng pondered: "It's natural to do it, but I'm afraid no one is willing... I said Zhang Xiang, why are you staring at the female worker so hard, don't you want to get married? Haha!"

Zhang Ximeng gave the old man a stern look, "Mr. Fenglin, do you really not understand? Just like tea picking, weaving, and porcelain making, women can be responsible for most of the craftsmanship, and they must be used in the areas of men. Not much. For example, there are three men in a family, all working in a porcelain workshop. They work hard and support a large family. But if women can enter the workshop and take the job of men, men can If you join the army, you can be the people's husband, and the troops we can mobilize can even be doubled!"

"Mr. Fenglin, you know the secrets of the sky, let the lord build high walls, store food, and slowly become king... Why didn't you think that if you let women enter all walks of life. Our one million people can be worth the end of the sky. 1.5 million people, 2 million people! We only have one province, and UU reading www.uukanshu.com can match their two provinces. This is a matter of doubling our troops! Maybe we will win in After this, how can I relax?"

"this…"

Zhu Sheng was left speechless, the old man thought about it silently, it really happened!

Zhu Yuanzhang's territory was not good, and he was in the place of four battles.

Neither the population nor the territory is comparable to the end of the sky. He also formulated a nine-character strategy based on the actual situation. But if the strength of women can be brought into play, more young people can join the army, and the shortcomings of the Zhu Family Army can be compensated for... Now the Zhu Family Army is fighting on two fronts, and the force is already insufficient, and it has to be divided into two sides.

As a result, there is a way out there that can greatly increase the force. Can you refuse?

Zhu Sheng was speechless, "Zhang Xiang, why didn't you say this when you were responding to the sky?"

Zhang Ximeng chuckled, "It's not too late for me to say! Could it be that Mr. Fenglin hasn't felt this march?"

What do you feel?

"Head of the family, don't worry, I can do the work in the fields! The Duke of Wu is kind to us, and now we are going to fight, we don't need to charge into battle, even if we deliver military rations, can we still complain? Parents, and children, I can take care of it too."

The man sullenly said, "Understood, you should be careful when you are at home."

The woman agreed with all her strength, and then reached out to help her husband push the cart, and then drove him out of the house and onto the main road... One after another, the people gathered into a continuous long dragon.

The population of Fuliang Prefecture was less than 100,000, and nearly 30,000 people were suddenly dispatched to send Zhu's army to the front line of Hongdu.
