"Grass people Zhao Quanzhong see Your Majesty." In the familiar palace of the King of Burma, Zhao Quanzhong was dressed in Han family clothes and worshiped the man on the throne. What is different is that this time it is the Ming Emperor who sits on it.

"You have a great credit for Wang Shi's entry into the city, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't even be able to pay the rewards of the officials and soldiers now. Get up. ”

Although Zhao Quanzhong didn't know the etiquette of the court, he also had a deep understanding of the etiquette of the Han family, and he was briefly taught by the little eunuch before, and he stood up with a decent pretending to tremble, his eyes lowered and he didn't dare to look directly at the person on the seat.

"Your Majesty is really tormenting the villain. If the king's military needs are insufficient, the villain is willing to do his best! ”

"Wherever you speak, an illiterate fisherman knows the truth that you can't exhaust yourself and catch fish, let alone govern a country?"

Zhao Quanzhong knew how to advance and retreat, and he was kowtowing again.

Zhu Youlang helped Zhao Quanzhong weakly: "In your opinion, why did the king of Burma lose the country?" ”

Zhao Quanzhong was convinced: although he said that he was "bold" and had the idea of influencing the political situation in Myanmar after the Ming army entered the city, he did not dare to discuss this issue at will that was closer than contemporary history.

"The country is small but not humble, the strength is small but not afraid of the strong, the rude and insults the neighbors, the greedy and clumsy friends, but also perish. Recklessness has taken up all these articles, how can there be any reason to be immortal? ”

After Zhao Quanzhong finished speaking, he no longer lowered his head, but raised his head slightly to pay attention to the emperor's expression.

"Hahahaha..."

Hearing Zhao Quanzhong quote the words in "Han Feizi", Zhu Youlang suddenly stood up with a chair and laughed.

"Is this Zhao orphan still a disciple of the Legalist family?"

"Han Fei is a jackal, tiger and leopard in the mouth of the scholar, so you are not afraid that these words will spread out, will those people wear small shoes for you?"

"Since the Han Dynasty, China has been a foreign Confucian and an internal law, and in the pre-Qin period, Confucianism and Shang were divided, and Fashang counties and counties. In the end, the Qin State of Shangjun County conquered the Six Kingdoms in only seven years! ”

"Although the tyrannical Qin II died, the Western Han Dynasty was parallel, and the result was the rebellion of the Seven Kingdoms, and finally the county and the country existed in name only. The Western Jin Dynasty divided the kings and resulted in the rebellion of the eight kings, the division of the Tang Dynasty and the town, the late Tang Dynasty was like a dog, and the five dynasties changed dynasties like a marquee... In China's thousands of years of history, dividing the feudal seal will invite trouble! ”

Zhu Youlang was silent, but he was thinking in his heart: this knowledge will be known to ordinary historical sailors in later generations, and this era means millions of words read, this person should be a first-class talent in Myanmar. After the Song Dynasty, history was gradually not taken seriously, and understanding history became a status symbol even among scholars.

"Your Majesty, the grass people have a word that may offend Tianwei."

Zhu Youlang waved his hand: "But it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"The person who can wear small shoes for the grass people is already in the Tartar court of the divine capital at this moment! These people not only have to put small shoes on the grass people, but also on small shoes for the entire Daming! ”

"Everyone is doing it, but they don't dare to say it, they all say it, but they don't want to do it. This is a strange phenomenon today. But what's so strange about that? It is said that just to not lose face, not to do it, in order not to lose face, not only to be a bitch, but also to set up a memorial arch. Where such cynicism is, how can the Ming Dynasty not be ruined and the people will swell? ”

"Benevolence, righteousness and morality in front of people, men and women in the back of people, slaves and tenants are as fast as the wind, bridges and roads are repaired like forests, families are as anxious as fire to collect rent, the court is as immobile as a mountain, life and death are forgotten in the willow alleys, fraud and belligerence in the field are like life, and the payment of grain and taxes is like thunder!"

Through observation, Zhao Quanzhong had already made up his mind to start talking: if this emperor was like his predecessors, then at most two to three years, the Qing army would re-enter Burma. No matter what benefits the emperor promised him, it was only the point of exchanging treatment for the Qing army.

However, the Qing court to the Ming Dynasty officials, the soldiers' surrender treatment has been greatly reduced, before the Qing Dynasty not only recognized the original Ming Dynasty officials and titles, but also may increase, and in recent years, due to the gradual decline of the anti-Qing forces, the Qing court often downgraded one or even two levels before recognizing the treatment, and when the Nanming Mountain is exhausted, he is a white body, and it has nothing to do with the Ming Dynasty, isn't it to be killed by the Tartar soldiers as a fat sheep to eat meat?

Zhao Quanzhong, who was already dying, decided to give it a go, if this emperor has a certain degree of foresight, then there is something to do, if not, he will take his disciples to the mountains to retire! If the Qing army entered Burma, it was only to capture Zhu Youlang, not to occupy Burma, which was vast and sparsely populated, and there was a miasma.

"If you sit in my place, what will you do to save the situation?"

"Then, the grass people will have the courage to make suggestions."

"It doesn't matter."

"Collect the world... The army of Burma, although Myanmar has undergone the reform of the previous generations of national lords, but the local officials are still strong, and the grass people have heard that there are fast-haired bird guns in the royal division, and the Burmese people even have very few bird guns, so they can rely on this to fight those local officials who do not obey the king. ”

"Eliminate several of the largest local officials at a time, divide their land among the small people, organize the households, and increase the household registration of the imperial court. As for those obedient little local officials, they were gradually restricted. In four to six years, it may be possible to organize the whole of Myanmar. ”

"Myanmar is backward in farming, and His Majesty can send an agricultural official to each village to teach."

"Set up a political envoy in Ava, which is divided into several prefectures and counties, and each county has an official school..."

"In this way, after a few years, all the families of Myanmar will be able to speak Chinese and use Chinese characters."

"Since the Song Dynasty, successive dynasties have not suppressed annexation, but there are many benefits of suppressing annexation, small farmers dare not resist the tax collectors who go to the countryside, while the landlords can afford to support their families. If there are fewer landlords, the more taxes the court will pay. The more taxes are collected, there is hope for a counteroffensive against Yunnan. After that, it is not for the grass people to see, I am afraid that the grass people have already died. ”

Zhao Quanzhong's thinking has many similarities with Zhu Youlang.

Limited by the times, Zhao Quanzhong was unable to put forward the theory of industrialization. If Zhu Youlang really implements what Zhao Quanzhong said, it is likely to collapse quickly within decades.

However, being able to criticize Confucianism so openly also proves that this person is very useful.

"Did Mr. ever learn from Gu Tinglin?"

"I've only seen some pamphlets, and I don't dare to say that I learned from them. But the grass people deeply admired Gu Gong. ”

Zhu Youlang nodded, and the internal official beside him immediately walked over with a roll of yellow silk.

“… Since the dynasty, some stupid insects and rats have eaten inside and out, and lost their conscience, and Zhao Quanzhong is lonely overseas, but he still has the heart of serving the country with his fists. It is specially given to the person who was born as a Jinshi, a bachelor of Hanlin. Chin this. ”

The lieutenant retreated to the side after reading the holy decree, leaving Zhao Quanzhong, who was stunned with the holy decree.

Zhu Youlang listened to the holy decree of catching the knife himself, and he was also stunned in his heart: Is it too impatient for him to give people official positions and backgrounds so rashly? As soon as this incident comes out, there will be waves in the DPRK and China!

No! Li Dingguo absolutely listens to himself, as long as Li Dingguo is in charge of the soldiers, what are he afraid of them doing? Comrade Zhu Youzhen doesn't know how many first-grade and second-grade officers have been cut, these guys who can only be promoted by the rapid reduction of the actual control area are not even ants during the Chongzhen period, what are they afraid of?

"Overkill must be overdone, but correctness cannot be overkill......"

"Grass people... His Majesty is wrongly loved, and his liver and brain can't repay His Majesty's kindness! ”

In Zhao Quanzhong's imagination, even if the emperor made him an official, he would only be a minor official below the county order, and he would have to slowly mix with the officialdom. Although the Hanlin Bachelor is of low grade, it is the only way to enter the cabinet.
