The emperor present, the prince and the preparatory prince were once again shocked by this truth, everyone knows these things he said, but no one will consider the problem from this point of view, which is basically equivalent to the feeling of a little monk who grew up in the temple for the first time when he knew that there were women in the world.

At the critical moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was calm, and when everyone was still unconscious, Lao Zhu asked: "There is no need to mention the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and the rebellion of the Eight Kings is also a special situation, but if there are princes who rebel like An Lushan, how to deal with it?" This is the first time Lao Zhu has asked a question today, which shows how much he attaches importance to these words.

Yun Xi put down the teacup, carefully organized the language, and answered Lao Zhu's direct question for the first time today, and had to make sure that there was no mistake at all, and replied: "Back to the emperor's grandfather, An Lushan himself is a Hu person, and he has the strength to rebel only when he is the envoy of the three towns of HB, if Xuanzong appoints him as the envoy of the Jiaozhi Festival, how can he have the intention of usurping the throne, at most he is self-reliant, and he cannot threaten the Central Plains at all, and he cannot threaten the Tang Dynasty; If an uncle or brother is sealed to Hami, even if he conquers the entire Western Regions with the support of the central government, unless the Central Plains is really in chaos, how can he have the heart to go east? If the Central Plains is really in chaos, it means that the central government is in decline, and his success in advancing eastward is not equivalent to rebuilding the Ming Dynasty? ”

Among the princes who came back to their senses, some people immediately noticed that he was talking about 'uncle and brother' just now. This is the rhythm of thinking of yourself as a prince. King Qing Zhu Chang thought. However, he is not disgusted, it is impossible for him to be the prince, and the views or policies that Yun Xi just put forward are the most beneficial to the kings, so it is best for Yun Xi to succeed to the throne, and others may not implement such a policy.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again: "Then how to avoid the huge consumption of China's power in the process of land expansion?" ”

"First of all, of course, it's one aspect at a time," Yunhee said. Next, he talked about the theory of diminishing marginal effects. "In the Warring States Period, the population of Qin did not exceed 10 million, but it was able to persist in fighting abroad with an army of 600,000 for a long time; During the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the country had a population of more than 50 million, and was able to dispatch 500,000 troops to attack Lingnan while maintaining the offensive against the Xiongnu; By the Eastern Han Dynasty, the territory directly under the central government was further expanded, but it was difficult to organize a northern expedition of hundreds of thousands of troops; The territory of the Tang Dynasty was the most vast, and the population also exceeded that of the Han Dynasty, but the troops used in several eastward expeditions to Goguryeo and the northern Turks were smaller than the forces that the Han Dynasty could mobilize; It can be seen that as the country gets bigger and bigger, and there are more and more management levels, the total number of people's power that the country can effectively mobilize is getting smaller and smaller. If a certain place is given to a certain uncle, because the place under management is small and the level is small, the power he can exert must be far greater than the power that can be exerted in the hands of the central government, and it will not make the people rebel. In this way, the consumption of the central national strength is reduced. ”

This is not complicated, everyone in the room understands that the more management, the more management costs that need to be borne by the management, and there are too many levels, and it is difficult to detect corruption and disobedience to the orders of the central government, resulting in a lot of resources being wasted in the middle management. These drawbacks can be partially avoided if they are separated.

Everyone is still digesting the views they heard today, including Lao Zhu. Zhu Yuanzhang habitually looked at the side of the door and found where his personal eunuch Li Jinzhong was standing, holding an excerpt in his hand. So he said: "Today's chat time is not short, let's stop here, you each go back to your home to rest." ”

Everyone also reacted, the time has passed for a long time, more than half an hour, and everyone has already dispersed at this time a few days ago. One by one, they stood up, stretched their waists, and saluted according to their age and retired. Yun Hee, as one of the only few juniors, is of course ranked last in the order. When he saluted and was about to go out, Lao Zhu, who had already taken the fold and started to read it, asked him to wait for a while, and when all the other children and grandchildren had gone out, he said to Yun Xi: "Yun Xi, what you said just now, did you think about it before, or did you think of it in the past two days?" ”

Yun Xi replied: "The examples given are all seen before, and the imperial grandfather also knows that I didn't like to read before, and the data and historical examples I talked about today are almost all the content I remember; Most of the opinions and other things I thought about in the past two days, and I was inspired by the opinions of several uncles and brothers just now. "Lao Zhu said that everyone dispersed, and Yun Xi, who came back to his senses, realized that he had just behaved a little too much, and the real Yun Xi didn't like to read, I am afraid that he did not give everyone the impression that he was a person who could cite these historical examples, and now he can only try his best to remedy it; Fortunately, Yunxi's ideas usually don't follow the usual path, so the ideas and thinking angles don't give people too abrupt feelings.

Lao Zhu kept looking at him as he spoke, and his eyes didn't look like he was looking at his grandson, but Yun Xi didn't look up and didn't know. Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "When you go back today, sort out what you just said, and I'll ask the eunuch to pick it up after writing it tomorrow." ”

Yun Xi replied "yes", paused, and saw that Lao Zhu had no other instructions, so he bowed and retreated.

==================================================

After everyone else left, although Lao Zhu was criticizing the folds, he was a little absent-minded today. Since Queen Ma died, Zhu Yuanzhang has not been so absent-minded. The main reason is that Yunxi's point of view today gave him too much "surprise". Since Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed Confucianism from a hundred schools, the point of view that no one had ever thought of was placed in front of him, causing him to think about it although he was criticizing it. If the country is governed in full accordance with Zhu Yunxi's method, there are three major advantages: first, it avoids fratricide in order to cut down the feudal domain; second, to avoid the destruction of the country because of the lack of food alone; Third, when the central power collapses, it is possible that there will be vassal states that can rebuild the Ming Dynasty, and no matter how bad it is, there will be countries with the surname Zhu that can survive. However, after all, theory is still only theory, and it is difficult to say what problems will occur in actual implementation; Maybe there was even a problem with the theory, but he didn't find it now.

When Yun Xi spoke today, Zhu Yuanzhang certainly noticed the words 'uncle or brother sealed to Hami', but he didn't dislike this, how can a person who is an emperor be good if he doesn't even have this bit of courage! Based on Yun Xi's unthinkable but reasonable theory today, Zhu Yuanzhang has already regarded Yun Xi as the successor of the first consideration (Yun Xi is likely to have a class to take over), but because he has never considered Yun Xi as a successor before, he doesn't know how good his ability to deal with things is, so he will find a suitable excuse to send both Yun Xi and Yun Xi to deal with some things.

Absentmindedly approved a few excerpts, Zhu Yuanzhang also realized that he was inattentive, pushed away the excerpts, and saw that the time was already three o'clock in the afternoon, so he asked the eunuch to go to the imperial dining room to pass the meal, and walked out of the room with his own pace, and walked to the room where he usually ate.

When eating, Zhu Yuanzhang always felt as if he hadn't noticed something, and there was always a hidden worry in his heart, but he didn't know what it was. After eating, Zhu Yuanzhang came to a small and chic room arranged in the West Pavilion of the Jinshen Hall to prepare for a lunch break, at this time, Su Huaien, another eunuch of Lao Zhu, walked in and said: "Pay attention to the three emperors and ......grandsons arranged in private today" Hearing this, Lao Zhu suddenly fell asleep, because he finally knew what his hidden worries were! That is, Yun Xi is different from before, it has changed, and it has changed a lot. If it weren't for the palace, especially in the Wenhua Hall before and after Zhu Biao's death, it would be impossible for someone to come in unknowingly, he would have suspected that Yun Xi had been transferred! Even now, he wondered if Yun Xi had been borrowed to return his soul. However, according to the circulating situation of borrowing corpses to resurrect souls, there should be no memories of dead people (of course, he can't imagine that high-tech soul piercing from more than 600 years later can retain the original memory); And Yunxi's grief at the time of Zhu Biao's death was not fake, and no one could fool me on this. Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't figure it out, and finally decided to continue to observe. "If you really don't have Yunxi, there will definitely be traces." Zhu Yuanzhang thought so.
