It is the 'traitors' below or the emperor above who destroy the system.

In the middle of the night, Hao Ren Wanhu, who claimed to be a loyal minister, was lying in bed tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

In the evening, the right prime minister Ahma came to find Hao Ren Wanhu, and he confessed that the navy had been mobilized to do something else.

"You hollowed out the navy army like this, because you have the approval of the Great Khan, and you think it's right?" Hao Ren Wanhu loudly scolded Ahma, and hoped that the great traitor in the eyes of the Confucian faction, or in the eyes of the princelings, would bow his sinful head.

Unexpectedly, Ahmad raised his head high and replied confidently: "Wanhu, you are a rare loyal and upright minister in the court. Do you want to ask Wanhu, if the navy has been idle for the past few years, how much money and grain will be eaten by the treasury. ”

After all, Hao Ren has actually worked in the navy for a long time, and when he heard this, he replied a little angrily: "Are you trying to hollow out the navy!" ”

Ahmad still raised his sinful head, and said with full emotion: "If there are so many people in the navy together, and they have nothing to do for a few years of idleness, now I am afraid that there will be a big incident long ago." Wanhu, I know that you are a very knowledgeable person in Dayuan, do you think you can really let the navy be idle and have nothing to do? ”

"You're not letting the navy be idle, you're demolishing the navy!" Hao Ren feigned anger.

"Ten thousand households. When you were preparing to build a new army, you didn't even move. Some people came and wanted to take the soldiers for themselves. Wanhu thinks that I am going to dismantle the water army, and I am just using the water army in a useful place. The Great Khan was actually an extremely wise man, and when he saw that the navy was useless a few years ago, he immediately transferred the navy to use it for no other use......"

"You don't sweat profusely. Aren't you the one who came up with the idea! ”

……

After a rather gunpowder-like argument, Hao Ren Wanhu already had a number in his heart. Although there is no other verification, Hao Ren Wanhu still believes in the description of the past history by the right prime minister Ahma.

After the end of the Battle of the Song Dynasty, Hao Ren had already left the navy, and the princelings wanted to put their tentacles into the navy. Based on the performance of the naval army in the Battle of the Song Dynasty, the Great Khan Kublai Khan believed that the naval army was no longer capable of defeating the Song naval army under Zhao Jiaren. So I didn't want to maintain a large-scale water army.

At this time, Ahmad took the opportunity to propose that the navy first transfer some of its troops to work on mining and other work, which belonged directly to the large-scale handicraft factories that had been established since the Mongol era. The luxury goods and daily necessities enjoyed by the Mongolian nobles came from the artisanal factory system.

Although Ahmad didn't say anything else, Hao Ren himself made up part of the content. As far as he knew, the contradictions between Ahmad and the princelings seemed to have intensified during that period. In retrospect, perhaps Ahma's victory led to a fierce backlash from the princelings. And Hao Ren didn't dare to continue to think too much, if what Ahmad said was true, the princelings could be said to spare no effort to infiltrate all kinds of military power.

When the crown prince Zhenjin went north to attack Haidu, he once wanted Hao Ren to come out and ask Kublai Khan to ask Zhenjin to take some of the soldiers to follow the prince to fight. At that time, Hao Ren refused without hesitation. And before, Ahma seemed to be very resolute in destroying Prince Zhenjin's plan to control the naval army.

Just when all kinds of thoughts were flying in Hao Renwanhu's heart, he heard Ahma sigh: "Wanhu, I envy you very much. Others say that I am corrupt and pervert the law, but in fact, I, Ahma, only want to serve the Great Khan. Although I am in the same boat as those Confucian students, I have great trust in the conduct of Wanhu. We can accept what all households do. ”

Listening to this contentless compliment, Hao Ren asked vigilantly, "What does this mean?" ”

Seeing that the emotional offensive did not work, Ahmad returned to his usual means, and he said bluntly: "Ten thousand households, the Great Khan ordered ten thousand households to remove the naval army. Isn't it just to solve the problem of this water army once and for all? What the Great Khan can't think of, the Great Khan doesn't know. If the navy can be well reorganized, the Great Khan will certainly not bother to rebuild after disbanding. There must be some people here who want to get in the way! ”

Hao Ren had completely determined Ahma's logic at this time, and the right prime minister probably knew that there was no chance to ease the relationship between himself and the real golden prince, so he said it so clearly. If it is to reorganize the navy, it will give the prince the possibility of taking over the navy. And Ahmad has been hinting that Kublai Khan did not want the crown prince to hold military power.

This statement seems to be very nonsense in Hao Ren's eyes. If Kublai Khan's Great Khan was so wary of the crown prince Zhenjin, why should he let the prince lead his troops to attack Haidu now. So Hao Ren sneered: "Right Prime Minister, you don't have to tell me about the prince." I just wonder what the Great Khan thinks. I am a servant of the Great Khan, and I can do what the Great Khan has told me. ”

"Wanhu is really a loyal minister. You just have to disband the trolls as you asked before, and that's it. Then reorganize or something, and then start separately. If Wanhu mixes several things together, then there will definitely be accidents in life. If the Great Khan wants to use this matter to dispose of me Ahma, he just needs to let you check it! ”

This is how clear it is when talking to people who do practical things, and Hao Ren quickly determined Ahma's position. Compared with this kind of simplicity and brightness, Hao Ren had to feel that his teacher Hao Jing had to guess.

After sending Ahma away, Hao Ren began to think about it. There were already obvious problems with the Great Yuan's system, at least the previous Kublai Khan's efforts to establish a systematic. At that time, Hao Jing also looked forward to establishing such a country.

However, decades have passed, and the system of the Great Yuan has not been established as the two monarchs and ministers imagined, or in the process of establishing this system, it has repeatedly to yield to reality.

Just like Ahma's exclamation today, "My Dayuan has only achieved today's prosperity by expanding and plundering everywhere." After the surrender of Lin'an, Dayuan came to the top. After that, he lost every battle, and there was no more money. And so the situation started to get worse. ”

The princeling's traitor saw the same situation as Hao Ren, who remembered the scene when he came home with a huge amount of loot a few years ago, when the rewards were a lot of money. His subordinates are very motivated, just trying to get additional rewards from Hao Ren Wanhu through their performance.

By now, this kind of motivation has disappeared without a trace, and they are just going to be a monk for a day and hit the clock for a day, in order to be able to get the money that should have been given. Rewards or something, Hao Ren Wanhu only gives them during the New Year's holidays.

But Hao Ren knew that this was not his intention. Since the end of the Battle of the Song Dynasty, Hao Renwanhu himself could only live on the 10,000 households that were distributed to him. His family has a big business, and his life is tight. That is, after the sale of needles and threads and awls bought from the Song Kingdom began, it was possible to settle the accounts every year. In the past, in order to support the scene, 10,000 households basically put money into it every year. These upside-down money are all based on the spoils of the Song Dynasty.

Thinking back to the Song Kingdom he saw, Hao Ren Wanhu had mixed feelings in his heart. The Zhao official family of the Song State put forward the idea of the first empire of the Qin and Han dynasties, and now it seems that they are preparing to rebuild a system similar to that of the first empire of the Qin and Han dynasties. At least Hao Ren Wanhu can understand the concept of this system and the material basis for the operation of the system.

Compared with the system described by Hao Jing, the teacher of Hao Ren Wanhu, the description of the new system by the Zhao family of the Great Song Dynasty is clearer and more understandable, and can accurately find out their own status from it.

Hao Ren had to reflect in his heart that the system described by his teacher Hao Jing was destroyed by some people from below, and some people began to destroy from above, and Kublai Khan, who was at the top of the power, often played the role of a system builder and often played the role of a system destroyer. Such a system, which once made Hao Ren feel extremely beautiful, has become blurry at his eyes.

Before he knew it, Hao Ren Wanhu fell asleep. When he woke up, he felt a little sleepy. But after dawn, he had to get up, Hao Ren Wanhu still struggled to get up, washed his face with cold water, and Wanhu couldn't help but miss the hot spring villa in Xiaotangshan. At least at that time, water was not a problem at all, and now there is only half of the water left on the side of the tank. If the wives and children of Wanhu finish washing their faces, the water will probably run out.

Then Hao Ren Wanhu was reminded of the tap water system of the Great Song Dynasty, which could send large quantities of water to the city from miles or even ten miles away. Although the people still need to pay money every year, each of these millions of people can't pay much every year, which is much cheaper than the water they used to buy. And in the capital, water is not cheap either.

After washing his face, Hao Ren Wanhu ate breakfast listlessly, and then decided to give himself a vacation. Since the Great Khan had already had a belly case, Hao Ren did not have the slightest need to be anxious. He asked his staff below to start processing the official documents that dismissed the navy, while he lazily read the newspaper. The official document of the dismissal is to run back and forth between the various important members in charge of the army, and only when there is a guy who is not long-sighted and deliberately makes things difficult does Hao Ren Wanhu need to come out.

However, the shadow of the famous tree, Hao Ren Wanhu's signboard is waved outside, except for people who have ideas, others probably won't make trouble.

This time I read the newspaper, and my mood was different. Hao Ren Wanhu began to lazily look at the lace news. The newspapers of the Great Song Dynasty not only had a lot of very serious news, but also a lot of not so serious news. In particular, some newspapers have comic strips on them, which Hao Ren Wanhu does not know is called 'comics' in the 21st century.

Just as I was looking, there was someone outside, "Ten thousand households, Your Majesty has issued a decree!" ”
