"Jiye, you complained to Renjie before, saying that my primogeniture system is not a reasonable policy, is it?" Liu Renyu stared at Li Jiye and asked solemnly word by word.

"This....!?" When Li Jiye heard this, he couldn't help but look at Liu Renjie.

"Jiye, you don't have to look at Renjie, you complain to him, he is my brother, he will definitely tell me, and I think you said these words to Renjie, don't you just want me to hear them, don't you?" Liu Renyu said.

When Li Jiye heard this, he was stunned for a while, and then as if he had made up his mind, he replied in a low voice: "Dashuai, Ming people don't do dark things, yes, the last general said these words, the last general just doesn't understand, if you want to rebel, the last general and others must follow, and in the future, you will be the emperor, we are also from the dragon heroes, the prince and the marquis, and pass it on to future generations, so that they can worry about food and clothing, this is the idea of the last general."

The last general doesn't understand, you said that the four people are equal, then our children can only be the same as the people, without the slightest privilege, so what are we working so hard for?

Also, why do you have to enshrine an emperor, can't we change it, the old Zhu family's anger is exhausted, and the world should change to a new master. ”

Yang Desheng saw that Li Jiye said these words that blatantly violated Liu Renyu's predetermined line at once, and hurriedly glanced at his old brother again and again, hoping that the other party would be sober up and stop talking these nonsense again.

How do you know that Li Jiye ignored it, and continued to chatter endlessly: "Dashuai, if according to your intentions, all the family property is inherited by the eldest son, then what should we do with the sons born later, let them go out alone to make a living, we used to suffer hardships, and we dared to taste some hardships, but now we already have such good conditions, why do we have to watch our children suffer, and we can't figure it out." ”

"Lao Li, you drank early in the morning, what are you talking about, Dashuai, don't pay attention to him, he drank too much in the morning, this is nonsense!"

Yang Desheng saw that the more Li Jiye said, the more outrageous it became, and Liu Renyu's face was getting darker and darker, so he hurriedly came out to play a round, lest Liu Renyu be angry and immediately take down Li Jiye.

Li Jiye had no appreciation for Yang Desheng's protection, he continued to say loudly: "What are you doing, you were not like this in the past, what are you afraid of, Dashuai is our old brother of Duntai, fight for the future together, not brothers, better than brothers, blood is thicker than water, we are not happy in our hearts, we have to talk to our brothers, don't stop me, if Dashuai is unhappy, just one sentence, I Li Jiye will wipe my neck immediately." ”

"Jiye, you're going too far, what do you say to wipe your neck, if you have something to say, why are you so excited." Liu Renyu saw that Li Jiye was getting more and more excited the more he spoke, so he pressed down with both hands and signaled the other party not to be excited, and to be quieter.

Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu and other generals saw that Liu Renyu didn't seem to be very angry, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yes, Dashuai, there will be some Meng Lang in the end, please forgive your sins!" Li Jiye vented, and also felt that he seemed to be a little excessive, and he was slightly afraid, so he quickly relented.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all my own brothers, I have ideas in my heart, it's better to say it than to say it quietly, since Jiye asked here, I'll explain it to you Haosheng, I think it's not just Jiye's doubts, but also your doubts, right." Liu Renyu looked around and asked with a smile.

This.....!?

Yang Desheng, Zhang Tieniu and other generals didn't want to affirm, but they were not willing to deny it, so they could only speak in a sneering manner.

"Ha, I understand, it turns out that you also have such thoughts, I can completely understand, for thousands of years, our ancestors have come like this, the imperial court emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business, land is fundamental, people have a little money, the first thing to think about is to buy land, and if you can't eat it yourself, you will keep it for future generations.

This is the tradition, the custom, so I understand everyone's doubts, but I don't like this tradition, because this tradition does not work in our Jingbian Fort, everyone, we have nearly 100,000 registered people under the rule of Jingbian Fort, and the available arable land in our hands is very poor, it is impossible to feed so many people, so we must find a way to find a new way, expand financial resources, absorb funds, buy food from outside, and solve the problem of eating in our Jingbian Fort.

This new method, I think everyone must also know very well, that is, to make every effort to develop industry and commerce, so that the goods of our Jingbian Fort can be sold all over the world and earn enough money. If we want to achieve this goal, we must expand the scale of production, and if we want to expand the scale of production, we must recruit more workers.

Guys just think about it, if we don't come out. As soon as the people get the land, they will immediately write a good note and divide the land equally among their sons, so that they can rely on farming to eat, so where can we find enough workers?

That's why I'm going to come out. The system of inheritance of the eldest son and the eldest daughter in Taiwan is to let these second sons have no right to inherit property, and they will enter the land where they left their father and brother to find a way out, and I have already chosen this way out for them, generally speaking, they can only be workers.

So the purpose of this policy is to get enough labor so that the capacity of our factories can be released to produce enough goods. And you must have heard a saying, that is, not to suffer from widowhood but to suffer from inequality, not to suffer from poverty but to suffer from insecurity.

We are now in the rising period of our career, and what we need most is to work together, so my policy is out. After the stage, including me, all people must abide by it, and only when we set an example can the people be convinced. I wonder if you can understand my painstaking efforts? Liu Renyu said.

"Dashuai, these people were all homeless people before they met us, they didn't eat the last meal, their lives were in danger, let's give them fields, give them houses, give them a way to live, they should be grateful to us, even if we have some privileges, they won't have anything to say, Dashuai, don't you say?" Li Jiye had already opened the conversation box anyway, and simply started talking to Liu Renyu.

As a person of this era, it is actually normal for Li Jiye to have such thoughts, so Liu Renyu patiently explained: "Jiye, please take out your identity nameplate and see what is written on it?" Pay attention, look at the back. ”

"Identity plate?"

When Li Jiye heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then took out the identity nameplate from his arms, turned to the back to take a look, and found that there were words such as the Ming Empire citizen ID card written on it.

"Dashuai, this one has the Ming Empire's citizen ID card written on it." Li Jiye replied.

"That's right, you remember, I said that in the territory of the Ming Empire, the four people of Shinong, Industry and Commerce are equal, and now the people living in our Jingbian Fort are equal to us in law, so the policies that apply to them also apply to us, we must abide by them, because we are also citizens of Jingbian Fort of the Ming Empire, and we are all equal, so Jiye, don't say anything like we are kind to our citizens.

Our army, workers, administrative officials, instructors, craftsmen, technicians, engineers, farmers, are all made up of citizens, and it is the taxes paid by the citizens that feed us, so our citizens owe nothing to us, they support themselves with their own labor force, and support a piece of the sky in Jingbian Fort, if there were no citizens, the factories could not be opened, the land was not cultivated, and Jingbian Fort would not have the prosperity it has today, do you understand? ”

Li Jiye, Yang Desheng, Wang Zuohang, Liu Renjie, Sun Wuxi, Ma Tianjun heard such fresh remarks for the first time, they seemed to have been touched by something, and they felt that something seemed to emerge in their minds, but they never knew what this thing was!

"I know you can't understand what I mean for the time being, it doesn't matter, I just ask you to remember that the people under our rule have a new identity from now on, they are all citizens of the Ming Empire, life and property are protected by the law, no matter what industry our citizens are engaged in, they are just different from our division of labor, when the social status is the same, they are all equal, you all have to remember, you can hear clearly?" Liu Renyu asked.

"It's all clear." Although Li Jiye and the other generals were still a little cloudy, they couldn't say anything at this time, so they could only nod and signal that they remembered.

"Very good, gentlemen, you can rest assured, after all, you are the heroes of the construction of the new Ming Dynasty, and I will not let you suffer. Your family business and title are inherited by the eldest son, which is naturally needless to say, but your second son, if he is in the army, politics, and business, I will take care of it accordingly. Liu Renyu said with a smile.

These words came out of Liu Renyu's mouth, and they were like the sound of heaven, which made Li Jiye, Yang Desheng and others very moved.

Li Jiye and other generals still thought that their own bloodline should start from scratch and compete with other people, and felt that this was a pain for their own children, so they were a little dissatisfied, and now they heard that their children are still different from ordinary people, or ordinary citizens, they can have a little privilege, and their slightly dissatisfied hearts have finally been completely calmed down, and there is no more ripple.

"Dashuai, it turns out that you already have a plan in your heart, why don't you say it earlier, if you say this earlier, where will we have half an idea in our hearts." Li Jiye smiled, smiling very happily.

The other generals also laughed, and the doubts in their hearts were gone!
