Red Mansion: I relied on the AFK system to create a dynasty

[Post] Question: Is Emperor Qian Ming really that powerful?

1st Floor (Owner): Just like the title.During this period, I read a lot of articles about Emperor Ming, and I have some doubts.Is Emperor Qianming really that powerful, or is it just a rumor from later generations?

Floor 2: Damn, is this a fishing post?There are still people who don’t know how powerful Emperor Qian Ming is?

Floor 3: Is the poster a primary school student?Asking such a poor question.

Floor 4: Emperor Qianming is the most awesome emperor in the history of our country, bar none.

When he was a prince, he presided over the research and development of cement, blast furnace ironmaking, and glass.After becoming emperor, he began to promote yellow gunpowder.

Under his rule, our country had a nationwide transportation network for the first time, which greatly improved road conditions and facilitated communication between the north and the south.

And did you know that cement and explosives helped control flooding in the Yellow River?

Let’s put it this way, under Emperor Qianming’s rule, the Yellow River did not flood again for 300 years.It was only later in the late Qian Dynasty that the Yellow River channel was bombed, causing floods to occur again.

Before this, the Yellow River flooded once every ten years on average. A small diversion every 60 years brought abundant silt as fertilizer resources to both sides of the river, but the damage caused was also extremely huge.

Based on this alone, Emperor Qian Ming deserves to be remembered in history, do you understand?

Floor 5 (Owner): I don’t want to hear how good you are at blow-drying Emperor Ming. Who knows how much moisture there is? Can’t someone tell the truth?

Floor 6: Damn, we are telling the truth. The poster doesn’t believe it, right?What kind of setbacks has the poster encountered in life?Don't think of middle school students who took the history test until Emperor Qian Ming, and collapsed because of the knowledge points, right?

Emperor Qianming is awesome, and his evil deeds are also real evil deeds.Do you see how much difficulty he has made our exams?How many more knowledge points have been added to memorize?Not to mention that middle school students have to take exams, they also have to take the college entrance examination, public courses in universities and professional courses in certain majors, as well as postgraduate and public entrance exams.

Stop talking, the child has been burned.

Floor 7: Even so, if Emperor Qianming had not laid the foundation for us to be a great nation, now in our exams, the second language would not be optional, but compulsory.

No, no, no, you don’t know how difficult it is for foreign students to take the Chinese test, right?

Floor 8: However, Emperor Qian Ming was criticized for some things. For example, he was particularly cruel to his brothers.

For example, forget about the younger ones who didn't compete with him for the throne, such as the eldest, second, and fourth. Those who clearly had a hard time with him would all end badly.

Floor 9: Emperor Qian Ming is also very cruel to the aristocratic family, right?In less than three years after taking the throne, five companies were plundered.

Floor 10: What is cruelty?In the battle for the throne, either you die or I die, okay?To cut the weeds, we must remove the roots!Let me tell you, Emperor Qian Ming did a great job.

Moreover, Emperor Qian Ming was very kind to his younger brothers, and he used them all in important positions. There was no disapproval of his relatives, okay?

As for the raids on aristocratic families, don't look at what those aristocratic families have done.Especially the Zhen family in Jiangnan, they are simply breaking the bones and sucking out the marrow of the people. Why don't they wait for the people to boil over and rebel? (￣_,￣)

Floor 11 (Owner): Is this really the case?But I think those aristocratic families are very elegant. They have also created many treasures in the history of literature and architecture, such as gardens in the south of the Yangtze River, and some poems and songs...

12th Floor: The poster wakes up!These things are actually based on the blood and sweat of the working people at that time!It was all obtained by exploiting the people!Every Taihu stone is filled with the blood and tears of working people!

Floor 13: Moreover, these aristocratic families are fundamentally shaking the rule of the country.After all, in feudal society, the royal family was the largest landowner, but through various legal or illegal land annexations, the aristocratic families recorded the people's land in their own names, thus not paying taxes to the emperor.

This behavior is equivalent to turning the emperor's land into one's own. On the basis of the feudal dynasty, land is the main productive capital. This is poaching the emperor's corner.But no decent emperor would agree.

So I think there is no problem with Emperor Qian Ming's operation of checking the aristocratic families.

14th Floor: The upstairs is just like writing a paper, but what you say does make sense.

Land annexation was the fundamental reason for the demise of the feudal dynasty.

Floor 15 (Owner): What did Emperor Ming do to bankrupt all the salt merchants?Did the salt merchant provoke him?

16th Floor: Damn, sir, you must have slept in history class!It's like a fish out of nine!Did you learn history by watching TV dramas?

The fundamental reason for the bankruptcy of the salt merchants was that Emperor Qian Ming improved the salt production technology, greatly improved the output and quality of sea salt, further reduced the price of salt, and at the same time reduced the dependence of salt production on fuel and manpower, turning sea salt into a private sector. Property, official property, and merchant were changed to official property and merchant.

In this way, the profits of salt merchants were greatly reduced, and they were unable to maintain the original luxurious life and create the original monopoly market. The transportation and sales of salt were devolved to various small merchants, so the original major salt merchants went bankrupt or changed careers.

The big salt dealers went bankrupt, but the common people could afford salt, and there was no need to use salt, rock, salt, earth, or even vinegar cloth for seasoning. It simply made a huge leap in the people's living standards, and it was a great merit.

Floor 18 (Owner): Then why don’t you say how many people went bankrupt with the multi-shuttle loom he invented?It is a tradition in our country that men farm and women weave. Many families rely on the fabrics spun by their women to support their family's livelihood.But after he promoted the invention of multi-shuttle looms and water conservancy looms, small craftsmen went bankrupt one after another... Didn't he cause disaster to the people?

Floor 19: No, no, no, do some people really think so?

Who do you think is working in the weaving factory, other than the original weaving women?Water conservancy looms and multi-shuttle looms only increase the efficiency of spinning and weaving, transforming household production into centralized production, that's all!

As for those families that adhere to the rules and insist on keeping women at home, we can only say that they have not kept up with the times and deserve to starve to death.

Floor 20: There was also the custom of foot binding in the Jiangnan area at that time. It was brought about by salt merchants and was also very popular among the officials in Jiangnan.

But because the first emperor had rules at that time, women with bound feet could not be wives and could not be given royal titles, so there were many specialized human traffickers who bought young girls, bound their feet, and then sold them to wealthy families as concubines.

Before some Jiangnan women get married, their families will buy a few women with small feet like this to serve as concubines.

However, Emperor Qianming was very opposed to this trend and made it clear that he did not like it.

But he did not express a strong prohibition, but chose to open a large number of cloth workshops.

In this way, the daughters of poor families can be sent to work in cloth mills, bringing a steady stream of income to the family, and few poor families will sell their daughters to Yapa.

For women at that time, even being sold to a cloth mill for long-term work was better than being sold to a nanny to have their feet bound and used as a skinny horse!
