Grand Secretary of the Ming: Starting as Chun'an County Magistrate

It made me scratch my head. The protagonist is a county magistrate, but he is also a wandering official. He is in Chun'an today, but he doesn't know where he will be tomorrow. The protagonist's family is a wealthy man in Suzhou. Because the protagonist became the county magistrate, the whole family moved to Chun'an County to take root and start over. I can't understand the author's brain circuit. Can anyone help explain it?

You are just a magistrate of Chun'an County. In terms of rank, you are no more than a seventh-rank official, and in terms of origin, you are just a civil servant. How dare you do this without a father or a king, and harm the country and the family? All the people are waiting for you to write books and articles to comfort the idle people. , But you are cheating, being lazy, and doing evil. When did the teachings of Confucius and Mencius teach you to procrastinate and be lazy! Don't say that I am ruthless. I would like to remind you that being an official must be like the light and dust. Look at how your colleagues around you make more than ten thousand per day!

Okay, okay, I just saw that the protagonist is Xiao Ge's son, and then I found another book in which the protagonist is the opposite 🤓

It's a very good article. Don't study other books later. God just sent a strong man from the sky and drove the Ming Dynasty's technological machinery to soar. This kind of feudalism flew directly towards industrialization. My loving father shed tears after reading it.

The largest non-stick pan in the Ming Dynasty was that of Emperor Jiajing! How to clean up? Have you thought about it?

By the time we get to that place, we will all be old. In fact, it is too simple to change. Just start the industrial revolution, build steam engines, steel plants, weapons factories, and the paradise of capitalists, banks, natural disasters, and establishment of a state. If you don't do it, no matter how successful your reform is, it will still be rootless duckweed.

I think in the end, the Zhu family was made to look like the Queen of England and the Emperor of Japan! Otherwise, you will be considered as the chief assistant! Follow Lao Zhu's style of doing things! The better you do, the chances of being executed after you die and having your body dug out and whipped are 99%. .

Currently, I have read the 80 chapters before release. In this part, Li Qingyun shows the image of a paper framer. Even though he is more talented and strategic than those corrupt officials and those Gonggun princes who talk about the overall situation of Jiuzhou and all directions but casually regard the people of the two counties as victims. I still think he is just a paper framer, a speculator with a conscience. Is the root cause of the decline and turmoil of the Ming Dynasty due to party strictness? There are many reasons for all this, and the biggest factor is actually Jiajing. It was he who accelerated the collapse of the feudal system of the Ming Dynasty. The ability of one foolish emperor to drain the country's finances is comparable to ten powerful corrupt officials, and even more powerful than decades of land annexation. I once heard that Zhang Juzheng's reforms extended the life of the Ming Dynasty for nearly a hundred years, and this is really the case in this novel. The party struggle between Qingliu and Yandang not only drained the finances and reduced efficiency, but also curbed Jiajing's personal behavior of reaching out for financial resources. I really don't know whether this is a worry or a joy. It's a miracle that Ming Dynasty's finances didn't collapse. In this political environment, Li Qingyun appeared. He chose a path that no one before him could choose, which was to make the cake bigger. His current thinking can be summarized as follows: without changing the feudal system and enduring Jiajing himself swallowing gold, he should follow the rules within the system and enjoy the benefits within the system, thus carrying out limited reforms. The only way to expand finances is to increase revenue and reduce expenditures. Li Qingyun has a more advanced vision and more advanced technology and knowledge, so his ability to increase revenue is stronger than anyone else. All he had to do was to make a cake big enough to share enough to feed Jiajing and the corrupt officials, and then feed the rest to the people to paper over the crumbling Ming Dynasty. But how could we feed the hungry Ming Dynasty, where greed was rampant? How big was Jiajing's appetite? How big was the appetite of the officials? How big was the appetite of the powerful? Can the leftovers still feed the people? Even if you are fed, what is the cost? It was the farmer who lost even more independence under the policy of converting rice to mulberry. It was he who compromised too much and tolerated injustice for the feasibility of his plan. It was Li Qingyun who was deeply integrated into the feudal system that he had personally forged. In contrast, the rigid Hai Qingtian wanted to cure the root cause. He wanted to awaken Jiajing, and even more, he wanted to break the corruption in the officialdom. But these are just thoughts of his, and they are destined to be impossible to realize. This is the limitation of the feudal system. No matter who you are, they can only be a paper framer. They can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. They can only try their best to continue the Ming Dynasty. But these are enough. If you can be confused, it's okay. He is just a person, and he can't defy the times. A conscientious paper craftsman, a noble paper craftsman, at least he can think about the people during the paper painting process, he is good enough.

We are not from the same group in the first place, and we always talk to Hai Rui about how tall and powerful we are and how we are not fools. The dispute between gentlemen has been going on throughout the ages. It is true that the best of men cannot get away with just a few words. This scene is very embarrassing every time.

This means that he is uneducated and illiterate, but on TV he is asked to draft an imperial edict; when the emperor tells riddles, he answers them randomly, but on TV he is very cautious. I feel like TV tends to be overly ambitious, rather than stupid and pig-like.
