I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

After Chen Wenliao received the decree, he immediately launched action.

The few remaining officials in the court jumped out and attacked Liu Dahua and other old-school officials.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Wu Changqing particularly hated those officials who did not do serious work and could only beep blindly.

During the reform of the official system, he eliminated a large number of public officials.

Up to now, although there are still a few official positions in the court, they have been completely reduced to the emperor's mouthpiece, and the remarks they make are all things the emperor wants to say but is inconvenient to say.

For example, now, Wu Changqing wants to tell those veterans who are not enterprising and hopes that they can retire.

But Wu Changqing couldn't let Wu Changqing say this in person, as it would be a bit of a rip-off.

It’s not convenient for him to say that it’s convenient for officials to say that they only exist to troll people and have no specific work.

Benefiting from Chen Wenliao, those officials began to attack those old-school officials who upheld feudal superstitions. Their rhetoric was fierce and had the flavor of the old party disputes.

The only difference is that among Liu Dahua's group of officials, no one can stand up and compete with those officials.

In desperation, they could only rely on their old age to ask for an audience with the emperor, hoping to cry miserably in front of Wu Changqing.

Liu Dahua did this. He was filled with righteous indignation and entered the palace full of hope, but in the end he came out extremely disappointed.

The whole person seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

The next day, Liu Dahua took the initiative to resign and returned to his hometown to retire.

Others who were in the political whirlpool also followed suit and retreated bravely.

A small number of people are greedy for power and are stubborn and ineffective.

Chen Wenliao started the second step, checking.

As long as these officials continue to be investigated, it is impossible not to find any record of disciplinary violations. Even if they have never done anything bad, if you check their family members and relatives, you will definitely be able to find excuses.

In this way, these stubborn people were also dealt with.

Other smart people saw that this was the emperor's will and changed their positions one after another.

In this country, the emperor's will is above all else, and no one really thinks that anything is more important than the emperor's words.

Not to mention that Wu Changqing just wants to get rid of some superstitious and bad habits among the people. Even if Wu Changqing wants to do something ridiculous, everyone can only cooperate.

In short, this turmoil, which was not a big one, quickly subsided.

Some retired old-school officials were dismissed, and a group of ambitious officials filled the vacancies.

After the ideological unification of the upper class, the action to eradicate superstition began to spread among the people, first in big cities, then in small cities, and finally in rural areas.

It is relatively easy to work in big cities. After all, people living in big cities are highly educated, believe in science, and have a relatively clear understanding of the causes of superstition.

At the same time, some realistic helplessness is also forcing them to abandon some bad habits.

For example, burial depends on Feng Shui, which can only exist in rural areas.

Every inch of land is precious in the city, let alone ordinary people, even dignitaries are not qualified to say that just because the feng shui is good, they can buy it and build a tomb. This is unrealistic.

All land in the city is planned by the government, and it is impossible to give a green light to someone.

If you want to survive in the city, you must give up some habits and customs.

Today, there are only two public cemeteries in Nanjing.

Whether you believe it or not, the feng shui there is good, and all the relatives who have passed away in the family have to be buried there.

At the same time, the splendor of wedding and funeral banquets is also decreasing.

In rural areas or small places, it is not a big problem to invite the whole village or hundreds of people to a table.

But if you invite hundreds of people to a banquet in a big city, you will be destitute after just one meal.

Except for a very small number of wealthy families, ordinary families are cutting out the complex and simplifying it, retaining only one form.

Of course, there are still many places in the city that need improvement.

For example, those who tell fortunes and sell fake medicines.

Some families have benefited from the rapid development of Dahua, and their education and knowledge have increased, but they cannot keep up with the increase in wealth.

These people are the favorites of those fortune tellers and those who sell fake medicines.

You can deceive a lot of people with just one word of mouth.

What makes the government even more troublesome is that those who have been deceived often come to the government for help, adding more workload out of thin air.

These fortune tellers are not engaged in production activities, but live by sucking the blood of others. They are worse than corrupt officials.

When corrupt officials engage in corruption, at least they will do things carefully, for fear that if things are not done well, their corrupt behavior will be exposed.

This kind of hard-working behavior is at least making a contribution.

One of the actions to eradicate superstition was to eliminate all fortune tellers and force them to change careers, or directly force them to work as coolies.

Wu Changqing would not argue with a fortune teller or study whether fortune telling is accurate. Anyway, if he doesn’t believe in this kind of thing, he will ban it.

It's overbearing, but it works.

If you have to reason with those fortune tellers, it won't make sense at all. This is something that cannot be falsified at all, and neither party can convince the other party.

To deal with these people, being more brutal is the most efficient way.

After giving the order, the fortune tellers in Nanjing City complained endlessly, shouting that this was tyranny and that the current emperor was worse than the previous dynasty.

However, after being punished, they became honest.

These talkative people are often the ones with the weakest bones, and can easily make them

They surrender.

The fortune teller was taken away, and the people were basically happy to hear about it, because there were not a few people who were deceived.

As for those who have not been deceived, it has nothing to do with them.

To put it bluntly, fortune telling is not a necessity of life at all. If it is gone, it will be gone. No one will care too much.

If the government arrests all the salt sellers, the people will have great objections.

Obviously, the fortune teller is unworthy.

What's more, while the government is taking practical actions, public opinion propaganda is also actively cooperating.

During this period of time, the scientific spirit and the nature of superstition were widely promoted on the Internet, on television, on radio, and in newspapers.

Make up stories, ditties, and ballads.

When a country wants to accomplish something, it has too many forces at its disposal.

At least, this is the case in the current Dahua.

Dahua's national mobilization ability surpassed dozens of previous feudal dynasties.

After getting rid of the fortune tellers and banning Feng Shui metaphysics, the government began to crack down on those selling fake medicines.

However, in this regard, Wu Changqing was much more cautious and did not kill him with a stick.

The definition of what constitutes counterfeit medicine is very vague.

The temporary scientific explanation of some earth prescriptions is unclear, but some are indeed effective. This kind of medicine obviously cannot be regarded as fake medicine.

However, there are indeed some people who are selling fake medicines under the guise of home remedies and endangering society.

What’s more complicated is that some home remedies are only effective for some people and not for others. Is this kind of medicine considered a fake medicine?
