Chapter 46: Dream of Red Mansions
What is Dream of Red Mansions?
An absolutely absolute masterpiece of the century, the cow leads to BJ or the cow, the Dream of Red Mansions from the Qianlong period to the late Ming Dynasty, it will still be a hand-me-down, an absolute classic, in countless novels, the protagonist has no money and no power in the early days, and if he takes the "Wenqing" opening route, his favorite is to write out the Dream of Red Mansions, which is a great thing for fame and fortune, not only can he print books and sell them for money, but by the way, after becoming famous, no matter where he goes, he must be given a thumbs up and say: "Talent!" ”
Back in the late Ming Dynasty, some people were ambitious and wanted to be the founder of a great man, some people went with the flow and wanted to find a stable life, some people put away their tears and only thought about their parents in the old time and space, and some people completely liberated their desires and chased all kinds of things that could not be obtained or could not be done in the original time and space.
It's like a few decades ago, in that classic TV series Westworld, a group of humans came to a world made up of robots, and they could treat robots as they wanted, but robots couldn't resist in the face of humans, shooting 0 damage, and punching without strength, well, that's it, you can imagine what the elders who came to this new world would do after the initial period of panic and ignorance.
Of course, because the degree of organization is still there, and there is an idea that they may have to return to their hometown in the old time and space in the future, so they still have some bottom lines for their compliance with the legal system, and it is impossible to do things like the western world to kill at will, or ** captivity, but it is good to use the technology of advanced time and space to take advantage of it.
For example, if you go back to the 90s of modern society, basically the most popular thing for the traversers is to invest in the big ship Titanic, and by the way, invest in a small company, such as Microsoft, eat an apple or something, it's very simple, but in this era of the late Ming Dynasty, it is basically difficult, first of all, there is basically no thigh to hug in this era, and the only thigh that can be hugged is themselves, so for the elders, especially those who have some ideas, they have not yet woken up and cannot return to the fact that they have the original time and space, Therefore, they all work with a playful mentality, unlike a few men and women who have woken up, once they realize that they cannot go back, with their experience and determination, they will immediately devote themselves to the process of starting to fight for power.
For Wu Ming, this is very difficult, after countless internal communications, the presbyterian council that started the work used electronic voting to carry out quite a lot of legislation and rule-making, of course, these jobs, that is, Liang Cunhou is watching, basically the law originally wanted to copy the laws of the original time and space Celestial Empire, but in order to build a modern society with the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty, many things must be compromised, such as the marriage system, if you adhere to the marriage system of the old time and space, then good, A considerable number of rich people have committed bigamy, and this is going to be the end.
In the same way, there are many things, once they clash with each other, they will be directly unadaptable, and the only solution is Changhuifa (1644) Resolution No. 35, for the new time and space, although it does not conform to the laws and rules of the old time and space, but in the new time and space is the conventional rules, it will not be canceled for the time being, and the act is also temporarily identified as a "special situation in a special period", and the situation that has already occurred is tacitly acquiesced, but in general, economic and policy means should be used to crack down. Limit its improvement, such as binding small feet, such as all kinds of cults and superstitions, not allowing women to study, believing that women are not talented is virtuous, such as widows being forced to be widows, and so on, as for what officials have exploited the people for generations, or corruption or something, hehe.
I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, now it's a troubled time, people are hiding their money, if you really catch it, how troublesome it is, those soldiers are cheap in the process, and if you really want to fight corruption, it's very simple, open a bank, a stock market, a futures market, and then lure those officials to buy it, and then ...... Don't forget, the law of the Council of Elders is the law of the old time and space, and if you have a huge amount of property of unknown origin, you can directly catch it in the hands of the Elders, that is the strategy of putting a long line and catching big fish.
This is an idea put forward by an elder who once invested most of his wealth in the stock market and finally came out naked, he is full of hope that he can become the chairman of the Securities Regulatory Commission in the future, and then learn to do what the evil village has done, full of hope to take advantage of the new stock market in the new time and space, and impose the bullying on the people who have been bullied in the new time and space.
Of course, you can't say that this is not supported, at least for those elders, they are not ignorant, knowing that sooner or later the earth's gold stock will have to be dug up, and it will be necessary to find financial resources such as salt, tobacco, real estate, etc., in order to support the future new government, so they are particularly interested in a unique and unified stock exchange market on the earth, of course, the future is bright, the money is brilliant, and although the road is a bit tortuous, but it gives people some thoughts, isn't it?
And Wu Ming is also taking another path.
If one were to ask where the best printing factories were in the late Ming Dynasty, the answer might surprise one by one, and that was the celebrant eunuch, the department in charge of the legendary eunuch.
This is also normal, the celebrant supervisor, as the name suggests, is related to red tape, documents and classics, and the craftsmen of its printing house have as many as 1,000 people, although because of the chaos, a lot of people have run away, but with the help of the chief leader of the party An Lan and other new time and space collaborators, most of them have been "persuaded" back, of course, no one cares whether they are persuaded back with the benefit of their tongues or with swords.
However, with the support of these ill-intentioned elders, these craftsmen still have a very pleasant life, not only do they not need to be deducted from those "fathers-in-law", but they can also get some strange drinks from them from time to time, especially now, the Dragon Boat Festival is about to arrive, and they can actually send large pieces of ice to serve them to drink, and each working craftsman can also get a piece of their own ice cubes, which is more touching than eating.
I have to say that Wu Ming also spent a little effort to come up with these things, but their energy system comes from the controllable nuclear fusion generator set invented in 2016, so it is still possible to make some ice cubes, but this kind of ice cubes pumped from the sea and the South China Sea, he does not dare to eat the ice cubes, at most it is used to cool off, but it is also used to reward and please these craftsmen, of course, his purpose is naturally the latest new book printed in front of him.
