Zhu Di sat in the empty vault again.

This was left by Lao Zhu and Queen Ma, and since they were targeted by Liu Chun, it has been empty. Although there is a lot of royal money on the books, it is only a book asset.

When it came to Zhu Di, it was even worse, from assets to liabilities.

As soon as he ascended the throne, he forced Liu Chun to find a way. As a result, the development of Dongfan Island and the establishment of the Royal Stock Exchange finally made the book wealth skyrocket.

Zhu Di was very relieved, but within a few months, he owed a lot of debts.

What can I do?

When will I be able to fill the treasury?

The more Zhu Di thinks about it, the worse he becomes, is it possible that I have to rely on borrowing money to live all my life?

It is said that the Son of Heaven is rich all over the world, but why have I never felt rich?

The more Zhu Di thought about it, the more entangled he became, and the more entangled he became, the more angry he became.

He didn't know who he was angry with, but he just wanted someone to vent. He really wanted to ask Yao Guangxiao or Zhang Yu to enter the palace and drink some wine with him. But Yao Guangxiao is good at intrigue and trickery, and he is not familiar with the national economy and people's livelihood at all, and Zhang Yu is a stuffy gourd, and when he asks him how to get money, it is estimated that there is only one way left, and that is to rob it.

Forget it, let's go find Liu Chun.

I asked you to raise money, and you could do whatever you wanted, and you would not hesitate to sell the palace, but I just said that, how can you take it seriously?

The Royal Sugar Company, the Exchange, the Bank, these are all my things, and you generously helped spend them, what is this?

Zhu Di said to Mu En: "Go, prepare a jar of Hongwu's twenty-year-old cellar wine, I want to leave the palace!" ”

Mu En obediently agreed, the first few days, he was still thinking that his spring was coming, as long as he caught Liu Chun's handle, he would be able to lead the East Factory and fight against Jinyiwei, and from then on, the eunuchs of the inner court would look up to him.

So many things that Wenchen and military generals have not done, but let him do it, what an achievement!

But in the blink of an eye, Liu Ye became the sixth master, the king of Chu went crazy, implicated a large number of literati, and then he had to study again, and the internal money of the Son of Heaven was empty again...... If these things are really investigated, he is also at fault, at least he arrested the king of Chu! In the past few days, Mu En has been worried, for fear that Zhu Di will go crazy and he will suffer.

When Zhu Di left the palace this time, he didn't need to ask, he must have gone to Liufu.

Mu En can be regarded as having seen through, Zhu Di can fiddle with all the civil and military generals, but he doesn't have the slightest idea of Liu Chun, and he will be tricked by Liu Chun if he doesn't do it.

I don't know if His Majesty the Emperor can take advantage of this time, if he returns, in case he gets angry, he won't be able to live this day.

Mu En was worried and followed Zhu Di to Liufu.

What I didn't expect was that Liufu was very lively, Liuyuan Huangguan was also there, and the crown prince Zhu Gaochi, Zhou Wang Zhu Hu, and many people were also there. They gathered under the trellises and seemed to be discussing something.

Zhu Zhanji stood on the periphery, listened with his ears pricked up, suddenly turned around, saw the imperial grandfather, and immediately ran over.

"Grandpa Huang, Master, they are talking about textbooks."

At this moment, Liu Chun and the others noticed Zhu Di and hurriedly came over to give a salute.

In front of so many people, Zhu Di is not good at speaking harshly, on the contrary, he has to squeeze out a smile.

"What are you busy with?"

Zhu Hu smiled and handed a book to Zhu Di, "Fourth brother, look, this is the book we made." ”

Zhu Di frowned, "You're here too, aren't you going to compile a medical book?" ”

Zhu Hu hurriedly said: "No, I'm just responsible for a little bit?" Zhu Hu compared it with his hand, a narrow one, at most dozens of words, such a thing, is also worthy of pride?

Zhu Di snorted, flipped it open casually, and looked at it with a flash of eyes.

The first lesson made Zhu Di shake his head: Who am I?

What is this thing called?

Zhu Di hurriedly glanced at him, and said angrily: "Liu Chun, what tricks are you playing?"

Liu Chun was wronged, "Your Majesty, the minister is dedicated to compiling the book, but there is no trick, if Your Majesty thinks it is inappropriate, you may as well bring it up, and the minister will definitely answer for Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Di didn't pay attention to Liu Chun, he found a question after class: Please use what you learned in class to introduce what you are?

These compilers were thrown aside, and Zhu Di turned his head and happened to see Mu En.

"Come here!"

Mu En hurriedly ran over, bowed down and said, "Does the emperor have orders?" ”

Zhu Di looked at him for a long time, and said casually: "You say, who are you?" ”

"Ahh

Mu En was blinded all at once!

What is the problem?

Could it be that the emperor said that he was not human? Or did you do something sorry for Your Majesty? How can this be answered?

Thump!

Mu En fell to his knees, kowtowed, and wept bitterly.

"Your Majesty, the slave and maid are wronged, the slave and maid are loyal, the slave and the maid have nothing to do with the emperor, the slave and the maid just received a little silver from the filial piety below, the slave and the maid ......"

Zhu Di was so angry, he flew up.

"Stupid slave! When do I ask this? I ask you, who is it? ”

Muen rolled on the ground several times. My brain was dizzy, and I barely got up, with a bitter face.

"Emperor, forgive the slave and maid for being stupid, the slave and maid really don't know who they are."

"You don't know who you are, so what are you?"

"Slave, slave is not a thing! The slave begged the emperor to spare her life! Mu En kowtowed again.

At this time, the crown prince Zhu Gaochi coughed and said: "Mu En, my father means to let you introduce your identity, for example, the two of us have never known each other, you want me to know you, what do you want to say?" ”

After Zhu Gaochi's explanation, Mu En finally understood, he almost wanted to slap his two mouths. Obviously, such a simple question has made yourself so embarrassed, don't let the people in Dongchang know, otherwise you won't laugh yourself to death.

Mu En thought about it seriously, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid are the slaves and maids of the Son of Yongle Heaven, thanks to the grace of the emperor, the commander of the East Detective Factory, the slaves and maids are loyal and obedient, and they will never dare to slack off for a moment, the slaves and maids ......."

"Enough!"

Zhu Di shouted angrily, "Useless slave, get out of the way!" ”

Mu En became more and more puzzled, where did he say something wrong, why was His Majesty so angry? He sneered and stepped aside. At this moment, Zhu Di lowered his head again and carefully looked at the textbook in his hand.

He patiently read the first lesson, and then thought about it for a long time before nodding slowly.

"It's because I underestimated the importance of this class!"

Liu Chun said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Shengming, the minister thinks that by taking the opportunity of great education, it is necessary to let the people know who they are, and this is the foundation of the foundation." ”

Who are you may sound like a naïve question, but it contains the most basic identity of your own identity and the foundation on which a nation is built.

Take the future generations as an example, if you ask a person, his identity, as long as his brain is normal, will basically tell you that he is a Chinese, and then other identities, a certain province, a certain industry, a certain class, layer by layer, outline a complete person...... Even if he doesn't say it, he will default to his nationality in his heart.

Many people may think that the identification of "Chinese" is easy, but it is not. Take the Ming Dynasty as an example, the vast majority of the people at the bottom, especially some remote rural areas, know nothing about the outside world.

When asked who they are, most of them will answer that they are from a certain village or a certain family, and it is very rare to be able to figure out what county or what prefecture they are in.

As for the emperor and the officials, they are all very distant, and there may be a hazy impression, but they are almost like the statues in the temple.

The people they have the most contact with are the small officials, so in the hearts of the people, most of the court wants money and food, and the officials who show their teeth and claws are nothing more.

Not to mention the common people, even ordinary scholars, he may not be able to figure out which country he is from, or in their hearts, the country is secondary.

If you ask them what kind of people they are, most of them will say that they are from Huguang, Shandong, and Lingnan. In their hearts, hometown comes first.

In addition, they will also say that they are disciples of so-and-so, in order to show their identity.

It is interesting to say that in ancient times, the biggest and most widely recognized was the Confucian identity, and scholars from all over the world regarded themselves as disciples of Confucius and Mencius.

Many people say that Confucianism has maintained the great unification for thousands of years, and from this point of view, it is also very reasonable.

Because Confucian identity is the broadest and most solid, even if a foreign race comes in, it must bow to this Confucian identity.

But the role of Confucianism is nothing more, out of the circle of scholars, ordinary people are still identified with their hometowns. Therefore, when they heard that there was a war at the border pass, they were not necessarily willing to sacrifice, and once the enemy reached their doorstep, many people would rise up to protect their hometowns, even at the cost of their lives, and be generous to justice.

Because they were born and grew up in Si, they have a deep affection for this land, and they know that this land raised them, and when the distance exceeds their cognition, they will naturally be cold.

"Your Majesty, this first lesson, what the minister wants to construct is the identity of the Ming Dynasty, when asked to everyone, they can answer that they are the people of the Ming Dynasty, their father is the emperor of the Zhu family, and they live in a country with a long history...... Since the past dynasties, countless people with lofty ideals have created a splendid civilization, and there are too many remarkable people in history, which are worth remembering and remembering. ”

"When everyone has a common memory, they will consciously defend the country, and when the country encounters difficulties, there will be support from all sides, and hundreds of millions of people can be twisted into a rope! Your Majesty does not need to rely on the gentry to mobilize the most grassroots forces in this country and make the Ming Dynasty truly invincible! ”

Zhu Di's pupils constricted, and they bloomed again in an instant, like flowers blooming, and his mood suddenly improved, this is the real unification, even Qin Shi Huang did not dare to hope for the unification...... It doesn't matter what you owe or what you have in your pocket.

For the situation depicted by Yoo Chun, it is worth spending any amount of money!
