The Most Stable Prince in History

After reading Chapter 15, I have to say that the author is too arrogant. He stands on the shoulders of giants and despises the ancients but forgets that most of the giants he relies on are also ancients. The protagonist will not look at things from a developmental perspective, and sooner or later he will be eliminated by the ancients he disdains because of his arrogance. To give a modern example, Russian Marxism-Leninism was worker-centered, but it could not be successfully implemented in China. This does not mean that this theory is wrong, but because there were not many workers in China at that time, it was transformed by the chairman into workers and peasants as the main force. If the author had the protagonist directly parachute into the air to implement modern rules and regulations, he would be like Wang Mang without even thinking about it, and he would eventually change his own life through innovation. Most of the people who can leave their names in history are the most outstanding people. How can the protagonist, a student who has never been out of society, fight against these people? The author doesn't really think that the ancients were all mentally retarded, does he? The reason for destruction is not weakness but arrogance!

There is a dad who has the most upright position, the thickest thighs, and the lowest starting point. The protagonist can experiment with many ideas, and it feels like his father can handle whatever he wants. This should be the beginning that historical travelers only dream of.

In fact, the most important thing as a time traveler is to learn to actively adapt to the environment of that era. Don't always think about idiot dreams like "I want to change the world, I want to change mankind. Only by actively adapting to society can you be qualified to put forward your own ideas later. You alone cannot change the people of an era, so you can only change slowly." Subtly change the mind, and the same goes for the development of science and technology. It is a closed-loop development. It does not mean that a person from the Chinese Academy of Sciences can leap hundreds of years back. The most important thing for the protagonist is to slowly lead and plant a seed of attaching importance to science and technology for the people behind, instead of constantly thinking about catching up with modern society in 30 years and building a powerful country.

We have been promoting the remarriage of widows, but we can only say that the protagonists are too naive, and remarriage will not make them live a better life! Even most of them may have a worse life. It is impossible for them to leave the clan. Marrying those clan elders will only make them marry into the clan, and it is obvious that they only marry for the pension! Secondly, for those orphans, if they are not your own children, they have nothing to do with you. At that time, do you think they will be good to them? This has no other purpose than to demoralize the military. This kind of problem has not been fully solved even though communication and transportation are so developed now. Don't joke about the execution conditions in ancient times!

Radical reforms will only encounter more obstacles. After all, many people's vision is limited to the present, so vigorously radical reforms in the past will only make their position unstable. After all, the protagonist doesn't have Zhu Chongba's skills and prestige, but he can slowly change the low salary and time off system given by Zhu. It would be too cruel to be skinned for corruption of ten taels. It is also possible to slightly improve the merchant's status.

How can I put it, since Zhu Biao is chosen as the protagonist, it is more interesting to write about how he actively participated in military affairs or seriously completed a task assigned to him by Zhu Biao, and it is more reasonable to make some inventions and creations while participating in military affairs. But now the main business of the protagonist is inventions and creations. The key is that these inventions and creations are all thought of by the protagonist on a whim, without any plan or purpose at all. When some events come, the protagonist passively triggers the task to do some inventions and creations. It seems that the author asked him to invent for the sake of inventing, to amaze others, but did not write about the protagonist's active purpose. Everything he does is done on a whim, as if the protagonist is really a six-year-old child working in a single thread. When he gets a new toy, he immediately forgets about the old one. To put it bluntly, the author set the protagonist's age very awkwardly, just at an age where you want to do everything but can't do anything, and can only passively accept what others tell you what you should do and what you shouldn't do. If the protagonist really does something, the writing is too vague and fragmentary, and not consistent enough. I hope that no matter how old the protagonist is, the author will make the protagonist more proactive. He really wants to take the Ming Dynasty to a higher level, instead of passively accepting the fact that he is the prince like now, thinking that no matter what he does, Zhu Yuanzhang will take care of it, so he does not need to plan anything.

You also have a lot of stable Zhu family's weird descendants, those who cultivate immortality, those who do carpentry, those who like court ladies, those who like to go to the battlefield in person, those who are captured by the Tatars, those who only marry one person, those who have not been in court for decades, those who take aphrodisiacs, and finally the Chongzhen joke who played himself to death.

Those of you who agree to remarry, think about it for yourselves. You served as a soldier and sacrificed your life in the battlefield. The country gave your family a large pension, and your wife took this money and ran away with your son and daughter to live with an unknown man, and lived in the house you bought with the money you worked hard to earn. And have you ever thought about what to do with your parents? Are you sure your wife will still be able to take care of someone else? Besides, will they be willing to have your son and daughter live with a man they don't know? When your wife has a child with someone else, they will definitely be marginalized in the family. After all, it is not as good as someone else's biological child. When people see your child, they will feel like an eyesore. There are a few men who generously treat the child their wife has with someone else as their own.

You still have a relationship with your silly son Zhu Yunwen!

After Lao Zhu became emperor, he kept delegating power to the prince and regarded him as the eldest son. In the later period, Zhu Biao took charge of military and political affairs. The younger brothers of the vassal kings below even brought them up single-handedly. The eldest brother was like a father. He would wipe their butts for them when they got into trouble. Even if the vassal was reduced, no one would rebel. Lao Zhu was still a general when Zhu Biao was born, and he was also the founding emperor when he succeeded to the throne.

Three hundred emperors have won through the ages In the end, one sentence of love Look at the bright moon outside the window Look at the sins of the previous dynasty Three thousand pages before and after in the history book Which page is he not stained with blood

Chu Ji was in the county and was recorded as a widow. At this time, there may be people in other counties who have married each other, and they are all recorded and captured according to the book, crying on the road. Ji was the one who took the minority, so he gave away less; and Zhao Yan replaced Ji, so he gave away more. Emperor Wen asked Ji: "How little did the previous emperor send to me, and how much does it cost now?" Ji replied: "All the wives I recorded before are the wives of the deceased, and now they are just like the wives of living people." The emperor and his left and right turned pale I don't understand why the author keeps talking about the issue of widows remarrying, and writes in so many chapters and so many plots. Must he do this thankless task? The remarriage of widows is still a social issue that cannot be debated to a conclusion to this day. The author dumped some of his personal belongings, said something ambiguous, and then tried to convince the readers? Don't talk about ignoring the differences between ancient and modern times, forcing rationalization, and forcing empathy. Let's talk about the author's own point of view. In the end, there is a "balance of interests"? What is this? In fact, as long as you write about this type of issue, it will inevitably disgust some readers. This is not a sweet and salty argument, which can be fooled casually. Every reader who holds a view on such issues has his views derived from his life values, from his life experience so far, that is, from his three views. Once there is a conflict with the author, it is equivalent to a conflict between two people on three views. This is a very discouraging thing for readers, because it will naturally make readers feel that the author is denying his own three views. So again, why write this content so thanklessly? The author does not play the role of a discussant in this book, but a referee. So, when writing this, do you think you can solve this social problem?

Remarriage is inherently a private matter. You can praise it, such as the Chastity Memorial Arch, or you can criticize it. But policies cannot be introduced to support implementation. Whoever has a wife and children at home will dare to become a soldier in the future. It's just draining the firepower. Damn it, if you don't do your business, you'll just watch someone's family die and torment them, making the person's death unpeaceful. This is a good thing. To put it bluntly, I don't mind if I am a widow, I don't mind if the widow has children, and the widow has a pension, but if I don't have a wife when I reach the age, I can only marry a widowed man, the author! Let me ask you who is this?

1. To set up an official business, instead of not receiving commercial taxes in the later period, it is better to directly set up an official business to monopolize tea, silk, salt, cloth, etc. Opening more shops will create more competition. One with relatives, one with honorable nobles, and later generations of CITIC and Poly. . . 2. It is advisable to enter the acreage as early as possible. Agricultural taxes do not have to be exchanged for silver, but can be paid in kind or in silver. 3. It is also advisable to encourage sea trade as early as possible. 4. Give those who pay high taxes a certain status. For example, the top five at the county level will be given a junior rank of 8th rank, the state government will be given a junior rank of 7th rank, and the provincial level will be given a rank of 6th rank. 5. The third department is appointed as a governor and has a standing battalion of 2000-8000 directly under it. 6. The main objectives of local official assessment are to increase commercial taxation and agricultural income.

Sorry everyone, I really can't stand it anymore. Shen Nong didn't have this poison even after he tasted the herbs. It is written in the book that Confucian literature cannot teach the emperor, so as a time-traveling party, a protagonist in the context of the industrial revolution, there is no need to learn these things. I am so damn good guy, when did Confucian culture become completely bad? You don't have the ability to discern or discard, so you assert that the culture of more than 2,000 years is a cancer. This is wrong. Even though some of Confucian literature is dregs, it still has some food for thought. And as a prince, you need people to help you govern the country. Those who govern the country are basically literati. Don't you find it ridiculous when people say you don't understand? I read in the comments that Zhu Yuanzhang was uneducated and wrote imperial edicts in vernacular. However, he continued to study and improve himself until he was old. I hope that the author, as a half-literati, can also change his knowledge and understanding of Confucian culture rather than Confucian literature. Thank you

The author should not always praise Li Shimin. The first person under the First Emperor was Zhu Yuanzhang! Li Shimin made little contribution to the country during his reign, and was once trampled by Turkic horses in the Central Plains, although he later regained his position. Moreover, the emperors before Wu Zetian were all emperors of aristocratic families. At that time, almost every family could change dynasties with one surname. It was Wu Zetian who almost wiped out the influence of the aristocratic families, and that was why Chen Qiao, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, rebelled and became a member of the Yellow Robe. If the influence of the aristocratic family is still there, it will never be Zhao Kuangyin's turn in his lifetime, and he will definitely be conquered by the princes like the last years of the Sui Dynasty. Without Wu Zetian's reforms, there would be no grassroots counterattack like Zhu Yuanzhang to become emperor. So if there are any emperors who can compare with the First Emperor, they are only Wu Zetian and Zhu Yuanzhang! Li Shimin couldn't even compare to his old father-in-law Yang Guang, who almost crippled the northern clan. He, Li Shimin, would only train a bunch of Shandong clans to fight against the Guanlong clan, and he also left his son Changsun Wuji, a powerful clan leader, to limit the imperial power.

This book is good, but the author basically considers the problem from a current perspective, and uses some modern rules on a large scale 600 years ago. Not to mention how many shortcomings have been exposed in these systems and models based on Western culture and supplemented by tradition. Otherwise, the higher authorities would not vigorously support the development of traditional culture in recent years.

In fact, I quite look down on many of you, those who laugh at the ancients as stupid, think that China's feudal culture is ignorant, and think that our newcomers are wise and modern science is extremely advanced. The knowledge we have now is based on the mistakes and reflections of our predecessors, step by step. Human society is advancing and developing. Most of our things are more civilized and advanced than in ancient times. However, it is undeniable that many of the traditional feudal cultures of ancient China are beyond the reach of modern humans. Some of the wisdom of the ancients cannot be reached until now. The most classic ones are the seismograph (I don't know if it is real), the Tao Te Ching, the Bagua chart, Chinese medicine for treating COVID-19, artemisinin, the tendons of Chinese medicine, the fortune-telling 64 links and codon 64, Don't underestimate the wisdom of the ancients, but it does not mean that the ancients were smarter than us. I can tell you that if you are in the officialdom, modern people cannot beat the ancients. Which is smarter, the ancients or modern people, is a "false proposition". We must maintain a humble heart and a learning heart.

Regarding the issues of widowhood and remarriage. 1. The problem of widowed households has never been solved since ancient times. At home and abroad, living as a widow is still popular. Brogatory remarks will not be accepted. Check it yourself. 2. Solve the problem of widowed households through remarriage. Impossible. Social customs: In ancient times, when a woman remarried, her mother-in-law married her daughter. Think of the story behind it. This was true in the Han and Tang Dynasties. During the Song and Ming Dynasties, remarriage was prohibited. In the Song and Ming dynasties, remarriage was prohibited because of the large population. In the Han and Tang Dynasties, remarriage was developed because the population was small. 3. The author does this. In addition to increasing the population and promoting women's rights. The damage will not be reduced, but will be increased. Mother-in-law marries a daughter, or a clan marries a daughter. Will only marry bachelors from the same clan. The bad ones will be sold if you marry them. You don't have to doubt it. Moreover, the quota is destined to be taken away. 4. Lao Zhu's original method was military households. Take the soldier's family away from the squire. Just to protect orphans and widows. Soldier orphan. It was effective at the time. 5. The reason why it didn't work in the end. It was because of land annexation, forced service, and population growth. Resulting in eviction. But this is unavoidable. Every dynasty has its end. 6. Therefore, the author's approach not only fails to solve the problem, but actually increases it. It's superfluous. 7. Want to solve the problem of widowed households. It cannot be solved by one policy. Only by governing the country in accordance with the law, respecting the law, and strictly enforcing the law can change be achieved. Everything else is bullshit. Because we can't stand corruption.

I am really speechless. Author, do you have nothing to write? In ancient times, I was arguing with people about the issue of widows remarrying. This issue was so loud when it was posted on Douyin. Do you really want to create conflicts? Of course, I have my own ideas too! First of all, in ancient times, marriage was based on the words of the matchmaker and the orders of the parents! Whether you remarry or not, it's up to you who you marry! Secondly, what will happen to the children after remarriage? Whether or not to change your surname is another problem. If your child changes his surname, he will become a member of another family. In the future, people will have to kowtow and burn incense when worshiping their ancestors. If you don't change it, you will not be allowed to even enter the ancestral hall to worship your ancestors in the future (not to mention the exclusion of some relatives, after all, you are not counted as a member of their family)! Finally, there is the issue of pensions and some benefits. Who do you give your pension to? To the wife or the children? Or to parents? You can't possibly send out multiple copies, right? What happens after remarrying? Originally one family was born, but after remarrying, two families were born? What if my wife is too much? In ancient times, you could only fly a helicopter in time! Only the wife and not the concubine? What to do if a concubine gives birth to a child? Also, what should I do if I lose my family when I wrote about it at the time? After remarrying, people can eat more happily and eat openly!

I think this one is better written than The First Prince of the Ming Dynasty. That book always seemed weird. This one seems much more joyful and more approachable.
