Chapter 298 I, Murong Fu, only want to cultivate immortality (Part )!
The impact of the movie is huge.
Originally in history, the first movie was called "Train Arrives at the Station", which frightened the audience at the time so much that they subconsciously dodged, thinking that a train was going to hit them.
Although "The Birth of the Ming Empire" used black-and-white film technology, it directly skipped the silent film era and entered the sound film era.
"The Birth of the Ming Empire" is basically a documentary film, dominated by the ideology of the Ming court, recording the story of the birth of the Ming Empire.
The core of his thought can be summed up in one word: "Emperor Murong is great and correct, no need to say more."
The voice of the host who was telling the story of Murong Fu's entrepreneurial history was trembling, and he had the style of the host of Paektu Mountain.
Many of the short stories were made up by others.
For example, when Murong Fu was a child, he was very sympathetic to the poor and couldn't bear to see them suffer. He played very well with a poor boy named Runtu, and they hunted wild beasts together under the moonlight. But when he grew up, Runtu called him Master Murong. There was a thick barrier between the two of them, which made Murong Fu begin to think about why the poor had to suffer.
Of course this is nonsense.
In fact, the original Murong Fu looked down on the poor since he was a child. He was a typical landlord nobleman, but that was not politically correct, so his character had to be adjusted.
This is not a lie, after all, Murong Fu has become a different person in his soul.
The new Murong Fu is indeed sympathetic to the poor. He has often distributed money to the poor over the past 30 years, and he has actually been able to distribute it to the right people.
This not only reflects Murong Fu's compassion for the world, but also his control over the empire.
The three major intelligence agencies are intertwined, and countless martial arts masters are at his disposal. Nothing in this world can hide from his eyes and ears.
The so-called "history should be rough rather than detailed" means that details can be optimized, but in the general direction, facts must be respected.
This film, "The Birth of the Ming Empire", basically respects the facts in the general direction of history, but it tells the story from a different perspective.
For example, the story of Murong Fu killing King of Jin Richard Ge mainly describes how Richard Ge and his gang oppressed the people of Western Xia and madly oppressed the people of Western Xia, which angered Murong Fu.
Murong Fu killed him to plead for the people and to avenge the people, not because of any personal grudge.
Murong Fu himself found this kind of movie boring, but for the ministers and scholars, it was an eye-opener. They watched it intently, and were greatly shocked both physically and mentally.
It is quite similar to the impact Murong Fu felt when he watched "Titanic" as a child, and when he watched "Avatar" when he grew up.
The movie was over, and the final conclusion was "Hongwu Emperor is the greatest man in the world" and so on. The flattery was very exaggerated, but fortunately Murong Fu was used to hearing it, so he remained calm and didn't take it seriously at all.
Murong Fu took the lead in applauding.
The prince immediately applauded.
Everyone applauded.
"How about this movie?" Murong Fu asked with a smile.
"It's shocking." Murong Ming has been handling government affairs for many years, and he immediately thought of the use of movies. "Father, this movie is a very good propaganda tool. I hope it can be shown in the Ming Dynasty so that the people can watch it and know how difficult it was to found the Ming Dynasty and how kind you are to the people."
"Ming'er, your suggestion is very good, but one movie is not enough. We need to make several more. And don't use such blunt propaganda. We need to film stories that the people like to hear and watch, and hide the things we want to promote in them subtly, secretly influencing the people's views." Murong Fu said, "We need to be subtle and gentle. There are still quite a few smart people among the people. Too direct and rough propaganda will only arouse their resistance."
"Your Majesty is right," said Murong Ming.
"You can also take over the publicity work. Not only should you promote me, but you, the prince, should also be promoted well so that all the subjects in the world know that you are a reliable crown prince." Murong Fu said.
"Thank you, father!" Murong Ming was delighted.
Murong Ming knew the effectiveness of the empire's propaganda machine. By using it to promote himself, his position would become more stable.
Although he was not afraid of the fight for the throne, after all, his mother was Wang Yuyan, Murong Fu's beloved cousin and the Queen of the Ming Dynasty.
But the more stable the position is, the better.
Murong Fu then said to his ministers, "It is obvious that science and technology are the primary productive forces. By combining Qi with science, the Ming Dynasty has initially completed steamization. The next ten-year plan will focus on promoting electrification." While Murong Fu was speaking, all the ministers in the cabinet picked up booklets to record his speech.
Murong Fu was the helmsman of the Ming Empire, and they were just humble public servants who carried out Murong Fu's orders and were used to express Murong Fu's careful consideration and foresight.
"Thirty years after the founding of the country, the empire's wealth has reached a very abundant level. I will not touch the empire's money. The empire's money should be used to build bridges and roads, strengthen infrastructure, and strengthen national defense." Murong Fu said, "But my private treasury has a lot of money and it is really impossible to spend it all. I have decided to implement the 'National Basic Income Security Plan' in my personal name. I will take money from my private treasury in my personal name and distribute basic income to the subjects of the Ming Dynasty every month to ensure that the people of the Ming Dynasty have no worries in terms of retirement, unemployment, and medical care."
The current cabinet chief Zong Ze said: "The emperor's original intention is good, this is indeed a good thing to benefit the people of the world, but will it breed lazy people?"
Wuyazi had already gone to Changchun Valley to retire.
Li Qiushui and Tong Lao also stayed in Changchun Valley.
They have already retired from the world and stopped caring about worldly affairs.
The Prime Minister of the Ming Dynasty's cabinet was replaced every few years. Until now, Zong Ze has managed to become the Prime Minister of the cabinet.
Zong Ze has strong ability and good work style, and he is deeply trusted by Murong Fu.
However, Zong Ze was unable to break free from the constraints of traditional thinking and subconsciously felt that giving money would only foster lazy people.
Murong Fu said: "It doesn't matter. This money is only enough for people to maintain basic survival. If someone really wants to be a lazy person, then be one! If I don't have this much, how can I rule the nine provinces?"
"I am not one of those stingy landlords who cannot bear to see the people having a little comfort!"
"The world is changing. In the old Song Dynasty and the old Liao Dynasty, people who had enough food and clothing were considered superior. But in the Ming Dynasty, having enough food and clothing was only the most basic condition. People who only had enough food and clothing had no social status. People fight for a breath, and Buddhas fight for a stick of incense. In order to pursue a better life and a higher social status, most people will still work hard."
"It's just that I don't want the people of the Ming Dynasty to work more than five days a week, eight hours of work, eight hours of entertainment, eight hours of rest, and two days of rest per week. This is the Ming Dynasty I want to see. The 'National Basic Income Plan', combined with the Ming Dynasty's enforcement efforts, can achieve this!"
"It is my long-cherished wish to build a humanitarian paradise on the land of China!"
Zong Ze bowed his head and said, "The sage has foresight and foresight, which is beyond my reach. I will definitely handle this matter well."
Zong Ze felt that the best thing he had ever done in his life was to surrender to the Ming Dynasty.
The monarchs of previous dynasties, after acquiring Murong Fu's huge personal wealth, mostly spent it extravagantly, built large-scale projects, and sought immortality.
The Qin Emperor and the Han Emperor were all like this.
However, Murong Fu truly took from the people and used it for the people, and gave it all away.
Since ancient times, the emperor has taken money from the people. When have the people ever received money from the emperor?
Emperor Murong Fu truly treats people as human beings.
Therefore, the Ming Dynasty prospered, and China returned to its youth, full of vitality, and all things flourished.
Being able to serve such an emperor, Zong Ze felt that he had fulfilled the ideal of a scholar-official to "make the emperor as good as Yao and Shun."
Zong Ze didn’t know what Yao and Shun looked like.
But if Yao and Shun were truly wise and benevolent rulers, then they should be like Murong Fu, to be worthy of the title!
"Your Majesty's holy virtue shines upon all. All the people of the world will surely be grateful for your Majesty's kindness!"
All the ministers praised him.
Although many people think that it is a sin to give away such huge amounts of money to the poor.
But this is Murong Fu's empire, and they have to support whatever Murong Fu wants to do. They can only bear the pain and watch those common people get their basic income guaranteed.
What they didn't know was that this was also the last time that Murong Fu distributed welfare to the people of the Ming Dynasty, because he was tired of being the emperor and wanted to abdicate.
