Under the management of the mechanized operation of Zhu Ao's large farm, the agriculture of Su has had bumper harvests year after year, and there is no need to worry about the food problem for a long time, and it is completely possible to manage the students, and in addition to the vast cultivated land in the northwest region, there are also vast pastures, and the pasture area is definitely larger than the cultivated area. Under Zhu Ao's vigorous management, the pastures in various places are also full of livestock, and the places he conquered are all countries dominated by animal husbandry, so he has obtained very rich animal husbandry resources. Cattle, sheep, pigs, donkeys, chickens, ducks, fish and other animals are everywhere, meat and eggs are very rich, and the price has been so cheap that ordinary people's homes can eat every day.

According to the decree formulated by Zhu Ao, the people who participate in compulsory education are all 15-year-old teenagers and girls, and people at this age are the time to grow up, so that they can grow up and have more strength to build and defend the country in the future, Zhu Ao is particularly concerned about their food.

He specially stipulated: Every school in Suguo must have meat for three meals a day, every student must be able to eat one egg a day, there are no special circumstances, the teacher and the principal must eat in the canteen, and if there are special circumstances, they must write a leave of absence to report.

Later generations of Zhu Ao lived in the school when he was in school, and the food there must have been deeply experienced by those who lived there, so there is no need for the author to say more. In order to avoid this situation in the schools of Suguo, Zhu Hao specially ordered that the school's cafeteria system is independent and not controlled by the school, but is subject to the supervision of the students, and the students vote every month to determine their performance, and those who do well can receive rewards, and those who do not do well will be deducted from the money until you cry.

His idea was inspired by Zhang Zuolin's military independence in later generations, and the military independence system made his soldiers no longer exploited by their superiors, and their food and food were all raised, and the morale of the war was very high. Zhu Ao has long implemented this system in the army, and this time he also promulgated it in schools.

With these two schools in Dunhuang as a model, all kinds of schools in the country have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, Zhu Ao will take the holding of education as one of the three major indicators for the assessment of officials in the country, and the other two are money and food and criminal names, which is the three major things that a local official should do the most, and there are still some places that need to build water conservancy and reclaim farmland, which is a special affair and cannot be used as a unified standard, otherwise officials will act disorderly for the sake of political performance. Some places that do not need to build water conservancy will also be repaired by them in various names, which not only wastes resources, but also increases the burden on the people in vain.

Wang Anshi didn't notice this when he changed the law, which led to the boiling of public resentment in some places, so that those who opposed the change seized the truth.

After running the school, Zhu Ao began to deal with the matter of Zhao Huaqing, the political envoy of Lanzhou, who lied about the disaster. When he read history before, he didn't quite understand the harsh methods of His Majesty Zhu Yuanzhang, thinking that this comrade had done too much, human nature was greedy, and it was impossible for people not to be corrupt at all.

It wasn't until he crossed over to become a prince himself, and then established his own kingdom, that he really understood Zhu Yuanzhang. Your sister, the money you embezzled was all exploited by Lao Tzu on the toiling masses, Lao Tzu was infamous, you are so good, who will you govern?

What kind of water is clear and there are no fish? Bullshit! As long as Lao Tzu's ass is still sitting on the throne and holding the resources of the whole country, Lao Tzu will have no shortage of people to kneel and lick for Lao Tzu. You think Lao Tzu is grim and can not be this official, if you don't do it, you won't be able to control you? But Lao Tzu told you plainly that as soon as you walk on the front foot, someone will take your back foot to fill your gap.

What if you're talented? Are there fewer talented people in this world? Do you think that you can do it alone? If the earth leaves you, won't it turn? Without this king, will you just be a day? As long as the widow controls the resources of the whole country in his hands, he can beat everything, and there are countless talented people who act as cattle and horses for the widow!

When Zhu Yuanzhang went on the Northern Expedition, people said that Xu Da defeated the capital of the Yuan Dynasty and restored the Han people's country, in fact, at that time, whoever was sent to win the war, Lao Zhu had basically held the resources of Jiangnan in his hands, and what was so difficult to fight a disintegrating Yuan Dynasty? Li Wenzhong, Deng Yu, Feng Sheng, Lan Yu, Mu Ying and others can all win, but everyone is ranked by seniority, and it can only be Xu Da, an old-timer, who can make this great contribution.

Therefore, as a king, it is the most important thing to control all the resources of the country, as for Corporal Lixian, he just pretended to be forced by the way, and if he reversed the two, he made the mistake that Chongzhen made - putting the cart before the horse, the money was embezzled by the officials, all the resources were divided between officials and businessmen, and the emperor had nothing in his hands, so he could only take a large number of famous ministers and generals under his command to the country.

On this day, Zhu Ao made a rare move, slammed the performance of Zhao Huaqing, the political envoy of Lanzhou, to the ground, and scolded: "This Zhao Huaqing is so bold and bold, he doesn't want to work after suffering such a locust plague!" I can't eat all the food in my treasury, and I still ask the widow for food relief, I really don't know what he wants? If all the officials of my country are so bullying the king, then it is better to simply lose the country! ”

These words were so heavy that all the civil and military officials hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying, "Please calm the king's anger." ”

"Anger? How do you appease the anger of the widow? Tell me, how should this be handled? Zhu Ao was so angry that he sat on the big throne and deliberately said loudly in a very majestic tone. He tried to use this incident as an opportunity to promote the implementation of the Dongchang and the eunuch system of the supervising army, so he seized this point and made a big fuss to pave the way for the next move.

The official Cao Judgment and the Supervision Yuan both supervised the imperial history and glanced at each other, according to the regulations, if there is a problem with the cadres, the two of them are unavoidable, and they must come up with corresponding measures.

After a short eye contact, it was finally the official Cao Jushu Ji Junyong who stood up, waved at Zhu Ao, and said: "The minister thinks that the main culprit Zhao Huaqing should be dismissed immediately, and he should be arrested and returned to Beijing for disposal." The official who seconded the matter ....." After that, he glanced at Zhang Wenyuan, the judge of Hu Cao, whose face was ugly like a pig's liver, and was very proud, but there was a very embarrassed expression on his face, and said: "The officials who seconded this matter should also be dealt with accordingly." ”

This decision is quite reasonable, Zhu Ao nodded with satisfaction, and said with a majestic face: "Quasi-play." The decree was sent to immediately dismiss Zhao Huaqing, the political envoy of Lanzhou, and arrest him and return to Beijing. In addition, the Tocao verdict and the Tocao Lanzhou Bureau Masa, who seconded the matter, were suspended for three months as a punishment. ”

Zhang Wenyuan's face became more and more ugly, although it was said that three months' salary was nothing to him, but being punished by the king in public was a great loss to his prestige, and those who saw the wind and steered the rudder would think that his status in the king's heart had decreased, and then their attitude towards him had changed.

But this can't be blamed on others, who let him blindly seconded Zhao Huaqing's twists and turns without figuring out the situation? Take the king's money to be a good person, and be a clean official who loves the people like a son, how can there be such a cheap thing in this world? Who will you punish if you don't punish you?

Zhang Wenyuan took a hard lesson today, and he must not trust others in the future, otherwise he will not be counted, and he will have to burden himself, after hearing the punishment decision, although he was aggrieved and his face was more ugly than his dead father, he still knelt on the ground with other ministers, kowtowed in unison: "The king is wise, and the ministers obey the order." ”

Now comes the main event. Zhu Ao pondered slightly, reviewed the words he had thought about last night, and did not let these ministers calm down, but said casually and lightly: "Zhao Huaqing's matter should attract enough attention, there is a Zhao Huaqing today, and maybe there will be a Wang Huaqing and Li Huaqing tomorrow." ”

The ministers all knelt on the ground and didn't dare to speak, nor did they dare to raise their heads, everyone could guess that the king only said half of what he said, and there must be follow-ups, not to mention their group of old fritters who have been immersed in officialdom for many years, whoever answers at this time is a fool.

Sure enough, Zhu Ao saw that the ministers did not react, and said to himself: "It seems that my country's supervision system is still not strict enough, and it is necessary to set up another supervision system." The name of the widow has been thought of, it is called Dongchang, which is subordinate to the celebrant eunuch, and is appointed by the widow to be the commander of the eunuch Bingbi, and is directly responsible for the widow. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers all blew up, and it was not enough to have a guard of honor as a spy? What kind of east factory will be set up? Or let the eunuch be the head. Isn't the eunuch's hand long enough? The cabinet has been suppressed, and the eunuchs have become internal ministers, do they still want to monitor the power of the ministers? Isn't this the eunuch chaos written in the history books, isn't it the way to destroy the country?

Alas! What is the so-called matter of reading the books of the sages, if we don't stand up and give advice desperately at this time, how can we be worthy of the money issued to us by the state, and how can we be worthy of the word loyalty?

Some upright ministers stood up directly, bowed their hands to Zhu Ao, and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks this matter is inappropriate. The emperor explicitly forbade eunuchs to interfere in politics, and a few days ago, the king's establishment of a ceremonial supervisor has caused a discussion. This time, I am afraid that the establishment of the East Factory will damage the wisdom of the king. When it reaches the emperor's ears, I'm afraid it's not good. ”

Zhu Ao is actually quite helpless about these people, because he knows that these people are not bad people, and it is for his good to come out to stop him, but they have been brainwashed by those books written by rotten Confucians since they were children, and they think that eunuchs are all bad and should not be reused.

As soon as the ministers finished speaking, some ministers with relatively high positions immediately stood up, made a gesture to Zhu Ao, and admonished: "The ministers seconded the proposal. Your Majesty, appointing palace people to intervene in political affairs has been a way to take trouble since ancient times, and please think twice about it, don't break the country's discipline. ”

It's hard to say what these people think, some of them are the same as the previous ministers, they belong to people with limited knowledge but are still good for themselves, and some people are not easy to say, they come out to advise not out of public intentions, but out of selfishness, afraid that the eunuchs will share their power cake, and they will not be able to make a name for themselves in the local area.

"Tsunaka?" Zhu Ao saw that these ministers were all opposed, and a trace of displeasure passed through his heart, the king and the minister are always contradictions, and the power game with the ministers always exists, and the ministers should always be used and guarded, the so-called words like putting their hearts in their hearts are just talking, pulling down his face, with a trace of dissatisfaction and majesty, he said: "What kind of person will not be bad discipline?" Is Zhao Huaqing such a person? He is also a person who reads poetry and books, he doesn't know what the truth is, isn't it the same as bullying the king? The widow only looks at whether he is loyal and whether he does things honestly, as for his background, what does it have to do with the widow? Does reading a few more years make me more advanced than others? After reading so many books, you still deceive the widow, this is called shame! ”

Listening to the king's meaning, these people who have read poetry and books and have been taught by saints are not as good as a eunuch, which makes it difficult for some officials who think highly of themselves to accept. An imperial historian directly stood up from the class, bowed his hand to Zhu Ao, and said in a righteous manner: "Your Majesty, the Zhao Huaqing incident is just an example, and the king can't use this to deny all scholars. Since Zhao Gao, the lessons of eunuch interference in politics have emerged in endlessly, and he also asked the king to retract his order, otherwise the ministers would return to their hometowns with begging bones. Because as a royal historian, I can't persuade the king to turn back, which is really ashamed. ”

Zhu Ao was so stunned that his face was suddenly pulled down, and Zhao Gao, who knows what happened at that time thousands of years ago? Sima Qian was not present, so he wrote it down casually, maybe it was a story he made up himself, you use this kind of thing to read the widow, it is really unreasonable, and immediately became furious, Huo Di stood up all of a sudden, and shouted: "Isn't Zhao Gao an exception?" If you want to resign, the widow will play! Who wants to be like him, to stand up for the widow! ”

At this moment, the civil and military officials who were about to rise above the court were shocked, those ministers went through ten years of cold windows, and then worked hard for so many years to get today's status, and the generals also broke through in the sea of swords and fires, and their names were lost several times before they obtained this official position, who is willing to resign.

Therefore, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty all stood in place and stopped making a sound, and there were many people who came out to advise, and there were not many people who were willing to resign like the imperial history.

Zhu Ao wants this effect, otherwise they will continue to persuade endlessly, and after talking about the example of the Qin Dynasty, they will also talk about the disaster of the party in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the example of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and the eunuchs in the Tang Dynasty.

In his opinion, the reason why the Yellow Turban Rebellion broke out in the Eastern Han Dynasty and ended up in the situation of division was not the reason for the important eunuchs of Emperor Huan of Han and Emperor Ling of Han, but on the contrary, it was the reason of those ministers.

This matter starts with the founding of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Xiu established the Eastern Han Dynasty by relying on the support of the clans, so after coming to power, he had to give some privileges to the clans. Gradually, these clans formed in the Western Han Dynasty evolved into gate valves in the Eastern Han Dynasty, not only monopolizing the official positions in the court, but also occupying a large number of granges in the local area, with a large number of slaves and men and other armed forces.

They are all in the court, so many of the granges they occupy do not have to pay taxes, that is, the land and food resources in the hands of the state are getting less and less; And they used various means to seize the land of civilians, occupy these civilians who were originally on the yellow register of the national household register as their slaves, and then used various means to erase their household registration. In this way, the state is unable to control this population, resulting in the state having less and less human resources at its disposal, and it is unable to recruit soldiers in the event of war or other times when the people are needed.

And the Yellow Turban Army uprising also broke out vigorously because these families occupied all the resources of the country, and ordinary people could not survive, or lived in dire straits, and urgently needed to change the status quo.

After the uprising broke out, the momentum was huge for a while, and the country's resources had long been hollowed out by those big families, who had no food and no soldiers, and were unable to suppress the uprising, so they could only rely on the states and counties to recruit their own troops, resulting in a situation of division between the heroes.

In fact, Liu Xiu was not unaware of this problem when he was still alive, he once ordered to check the land population throughout the country with the power of unifying the world, and cracked down on the power of the Shi clan gate lords. For this kind of fucking behavior of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, the clans have resisted, and riots have broken out in many places.

At that time, the prime minister was caught between the emperor and the scholars, and listened to the emperor's scholars who did not agree, favoring the scholars, and the emperor did not agree, so he hanged himself in a fit of anger.

Seeing that the matter was getting bigger, Liu Xiu had no choice but to admit it and put aside the order to check the land, which was regarded as acquiescing to the existence of these big families.

By the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after more than 100 years of development, they had swelled into a behemoth, constantly absorbing the country's resources, and sucking the originally powerful Eastern Han Dynasty into a sick man.

Emperor Huan of Han and Emperor Ling of Han openly betrayed their official positions and were widely criticized by the world, but from their standpoint, this was actually a matter of last resort. The country's resources have been almost divided among those family gates, especially people like Yuan Shao, the fourth and third dukes, how many resources do they occupy? The emperor was poor and had no projects to generate income, thinking that he only had the resource of official positions left in his hands, so he exchanged them for money. Anyway, it always costs money to be an official, and instead of letting those people give this money to those scholars and go through the back door, it is better to use this method to get it into the hands of the emperor, and you can also accumulate more resources for the country.

This world is a materialist world, all of them are two shoulders against one head, no one is much smarter than whom, who has more resources, and who has nine chances of winning, this is like fighting the landlord, whoever takes the good shot will win, unless the other party can't play at all.

Like those classic examples of winning more with less, such as the Battle of Guandu and the Battle of Chibi, the reason why they can become classics is because there are too few, there are only a few in the entire 5,000-year history, and in these thousands of years, how many wars have occurred in human beings? The list goes on.

These classic battle examples have a little luck element in them, not every time there will be a Xu Yu to fight against the water, and the other party does not always connect the warships together for you to burn. As a king, if you don't farm well to develop your strength, and think about relying on some luck and the sudden drop in the IQ of your opponent all day long to play a so-called classic example of winning more with less, it is actually making the mistake of waiting for the rabbit, taking chance as inevitable, and sooner or later you will starve to death.

Moreover, when Cao Cao and Yuan Shao confronted each other, they were out of the country, and the heavy military service had caused a riot in his rear, but fortunately it was suppressed, so it was definitely not what the history books said, "The soldiers are less than 10,000, and the wounded are 12 or 3." Yuan Shao is a person who loves the people like a son, plus he despises Cao Cao, in order not to increase the burden on the people, he did not go all out during the war, and did not concentrate all the manpower and material resources of the country to deal with Cao Cao, which was picked up by Cao Cao.

And after Cao Cao occupied his Jizhou, those people who once sang the praises of Yuan Shao's kindness became Cao Cao's obedient people in the blink of an eye.

According to the official history, Yuan Shao concentrated about 110,000 troops during the Battle of Guandu. According to the records of "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms - The Biography of Cui Yanlie", after Cao Cao occupied Jizhou, he was very happy to check the local household registration atlas, and said: "Jizhou is a continent that can recruit more than 300,000 soldiers. For this, he was also criticized by Cui Yan.

We know that Yuan Shao occupied four states at that time, and Jizhou was only one of them, if he did not covet the false name of loving the people like a son, did not despise Cao Cao, and was like Cao Cao, concentrating all his forces to defeat Cao Cao first, then what were the chances of Cao Cao winning? I'm afraid that the first wave of regiments will be taken away, and they won't be able to support Xu Yu to come and surrender.

The appointment of eunuchs by the emperor in the late Tang Dynasty was also a last resort, and the Anshi Rebellion paralyzed the seemingly stable and powerful state apparatus of the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty even lost Guanzhong, which it relied on, and Luoyang, which was prosperous and wealthy, and many people thought that the Tang Dynasty was going to fail, and began to think about other things.

Although there are Guo Ziyi and Li Guangbi, these loyal and courageous ministers who worked hard for the Tang Dynasty, the emperor is not sure whether all the generals are like the two of them, only to send his most trusted Yu Chaoen as the envoy of the Guanjun Rong, so as to monitor the generals, I believe that with Yu Chaoen's sitting, some of the military generals who originally had other intentions did not dare to make any more moves, and obediently followed the Tang Dynasty to quell the Anshi Rebellion.

Later, when Li Heng's grandson - Tang Dezong Li Shi, Tang Dezong just succeeded to the throne was also very young and naïve, similar to Chongzhen, and wanted to learn from the history books, excluding eunuchs, appointing ministers, and reviving the Tang Dynasty, but because he was too young, policy mistakes provoked a rebellion in the feudal town, which led to the Jingyuan Mutiny, and was driven out of Chang'an in embarrassment. At this time, none of the ministers he trusted protected him, but the eunuchs around him sacrificed their lives to protect him to a safe place.
