Chapter 44 Convince Lao Zhu

Zhu Ao looked confident, and said very easily: "It's just a thousand households wishful thinking, Erchen's Honor Guard Division has already mastered their movements, set up a game, and wiped them all out without causing any losses." This sentence is half an acknowledgment, half an invitation. He knows Lao Zhu, his son can be sharp-eyed and resolute, which makes him happy compared to being a good baby.

To tell the truth, Lao Zhu was still satisfied with Zhu Ao's handling of this mutiny, closely monitored in advance, grasped all the movements of the other party, and then planned all the plans and wiped them all out without causing any waves. It's all under control. If his son can have such scheming and means, Lao Zhu can rest assured that he will guard the border.

But Lao Zhu suffered too much when he was young, so he didn't want his sons to suffer a little, a little dangerous, in his opinion, although Zhu Ao put down this mutiny, but if he didn't change his approach, there would be a second and third mutiny, and when the time came, he might not be able to deal with it.

Zhu Yuanzhang put on a tone of lesson and asked, "Do you know what the root cause of this mutiny is?" ”

Zhu Ao had long expected that Lao Zhu would ask this, and did his homework on this, and said: "It's nothing more than someone who doesn't know how many catties and taels he has, and wants to shake the tree, there are too many people in this world who can't do anything about themselves, after my father ascended the throne, aren't there still people who want to rebel?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was obviously dissatisfied with his answer, and reprimanded with a calm face: "If you turn all the military households into your own tenants and let them farm for you, if they have no land, their hearts will be unstable." If all the princes and ministers enclose the land like you, there will be more and more displaced people in the world, and you are really not afraid that they will rebel? ”

Zhu Ao raised his eyes and looked straight at Zhu Yuanzhang, his eyes were full of perseverance and confidence, and said, "Don't be afraid!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, he had never seen anyone look at him with such eyes, to be exact, no one had ever dared to look at him with this kind of eyes, but the dignified son of the emperor, how could he not be pressed down by a vassal king, his face was on the side, and he immediately became majestic, and said, "Why aren't you afraid?" ”

Zhu Ao only said three words: "There is food." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, what a smart person he was, and after Zhu Ao said this, he immediately understood Zhu Ao's intentions. As long as you have food and pay in your hands, are you afraid that you won't be able to recruit soldiers? With soldiers and food, even if a few clowns are not convinced, what if they send troops to destroy him, why be afraid?

Lao Zhu implemented the grain policy when he fought the world, and to put it bluntly, he grabbed grain, and only allowed the people in his jurisdiction to keep enough rations for their own families, and all the rest were requisitioned, so that the Tuntian could feed the huge army and unify the world. Without a strong army, it is useless to fight again, and Wang Baobao and Zhang Dingbian are not dry meals.

However, Lao Zhu is quite kind, and after winning the world, in order to repay the support of the people near Tianfu, he reduced the taxes in this area.

Zhu Ao looked at Lao Zhu's expression, knowing that he had already understood a little, and hit the railway while it was hot: "Father." Erchen thought that the total population of the world would not change much in the short term, but according to Erchen's method, the amount of food produced by the world would increase a lot in the short term. In this way, everyone will be equalized and the amount of food will be increased. Although these grains are all in the hands of the retainers, if there is a famine in that place, the retainers can easily allocate grain for disaster relief, and will not cause a large area of displaced people. Erchen thought that it was not the land that stabilized people's hearts, but the grain, and if there was only land and no food, the common people would go into exile and rebel. ”

Zhu Ao is familiar with the history of the last years of the Ming Dynasty, during the Chongzhen period, there was a large area of drought in the country, thousands of miles of red land, at this time there is a lot of land, but what is the use of not being able to produce food? It also caused a large number of displaced people, and finally overthrew the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Ao's dialing, Lao Zhu completely understood, nodded, and said, "Good." My son has this kind of insight, and he is relieved to be a father. Then he changed his face and said with a pleasant expression: "When you come back this time, you have one more thing to do besides meeting me and your mother." ”

Zhu Ao was stunned for a moment, not knowing what kind of medicine was sold in the old Zhu gourd, and said, "Dare to ask my father, what is the matter?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled kindly: "Marriage." "Marrying a daughter-in-law for a son, whether it is the emperor or the people's family, is a great joy and deserves to be happy.

"Marriage?" Zhu Ao was really taken aback, this arranged marriage in feudal society was really sudden, he didn't hear any rumors, and his lifelong event was so decided?

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled: "Not bad." The woman is the daughter of the commander Sun Jida, I have seen it, she is very dignified and beautiful, and your mother agrees, so this matter is settled. ”

This happened a few months ago. The commander Sun Jida is an old man who followed Zhu Yuanzhang to fight the world, and he came to defect when Zhu Yuanzhang was stationed in Dingyuan. As mentioned earlier, Lao Zhu is a very practical person, so he likes real people, if you chant two famous poems and songs in front of him, he will not look at you at all, because he knows that these are all things for nothing to do, and they are not used at all. But if you donate a few stones of food when he is in trouble, his heart will remember your goodness.

Sun Jida is such a real person, when the old Zhu fought with Chen Youliang in Poyang Lake, the grain and grass could not be supplied for a period of time, so Sun Jida donated his private collection of forty boats of grain, which won Zhu Yuanzhang's favor. Since then, Zhu Yuanzhang has never called Sun Jida by his name, but affectionately called him "old grandson".

A few months ago, Sun Jida came to the capital to meet Zhu Yuanzhang. On a whim, Zhu Yuanzhang got up with this old guy and asked, "How many sons does Lao Sun have?" ”

Sun Jida replied: "The minister has nine sons and two daughters. Zhu Yuanzhang is worried that his son has no daughter-in-law, according to the view since ancient times, a person's moral character is inseparable from his family style. Lao Zhu thinks that since Sun Jida is a real person, his daughter's morality is not bad. So he ordered Sun Jida to summon his daughter to come to the audience.

Sun Jida's two women are quite dignified and beautiful, and they are quiet, and Lao Zhu likes them very much at first sight, so he married his eldest daughter Sun Yunqi to Zhu Ao, and his second daughter Sun Yunzhu to Zhu Chang.
