Outside of China, there are so many beautiful and rich places? Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard this. began to quietly remember, "If we can include all those lands in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, then the world of my Ming Dynasty ......"

"As the founding monarch, we must create a great cause for future generations. Let this generation suffer the hardships that several generations have suffered. Then what will be left to future generations will be eternal happiness and peace. ”

"Anyway, now that the Ming Dynasty has just been founded, there are many generals who can fight well. The world's famous generals are all fought in actual combat. A veteran of a hundred battles, he can be ten on the battlefield. Now let them go to the Quartet, and they can easily conquer the city. After that, the country was peaceful for a long time, and the generals and soldiers did not experience the baptism of war, but they would not fight. ”

"So now, it's the best time for the Ming Dynasty to expand its territory!"

"And if there is no war, it will be difficult to settle those arrogant soldiers, and if they are not well settled, it will be easy to breed rebellion. Instead of worrying about how to place them, it is better to let them continue to fight and establish immortal feats for the Ming Dynasty. ”

"In ancient times, the feudal dynasty actually tried to expand its territory. However, the generals in charge of the expedition encountered the Mekong River, the Himalayas, and the Changbai Mountains, and felt that there was no need to fight them, because they were all bitter cold places anyway, and the people there were barbarians who did not obey the teachings. However, Qin Yu didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, and continued.

"So they were only one way away from opening up a vast territory for the dynasty, and they were only one way to cross a great river and a high mountain. The idea that China was the most civilized and rich, with a vast land and abundant resources, hindered expansion. ”

However, it cannot be said that they are blindly confident, after all, the ancient civilization of China has a long history, and it is worthy of self-confidence. Ancient Huaxia, leading the world. ”

"Mr. Qin's analysis is really profound, we admire it very much. But after Mr. Qin's ...... was excited, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down again, "What if the Ming Dynasty wants to wage war with the outside world and the domestic scholars collectively oppose it?" Because even Lao Tzu said that a soldier is an ominous weapon, not a gentleman's weapon...... Confucius also once said, be cautious in your war! ”

"Lao Tzu's rule of inaction is not suitable for governing the country." Qin Yu said bluntly, "At this point, you have to listen to Sun Tzu, Sun Tzu said: soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival." ”

"Since it is the way to survive, then for the survival of the dynasty and the food and clothing of the people, even if it takes the initiative to start a war, it is okay. For example, the Xiongnu invaded the Central Plains so that their herdsmen could have enough to eat, obtain iron and silk, and let the nation enter civilization. If they were allowed to rule by inaction, they would still be primitive tribes. ”

"The imperial court should launch a foreign war to expand its territory, which we also think is right. But those pedantic scholars don't understand it at all, they will stick to the outdated Confucian concept all day long, oppose conquest, and also have a set of principles. Zhu Yuanzhang said, "How to shut up those readers?" You can't kill them all. ”

"Killing people is definitely wrong, not only will it not stop their verbal and written criticism, but it will also backfire." Qin Yu said, "The best way to deal with them is to block them as well as to loosen them." ”

"What's the trick?" Zhu Yuanzhang humbly asked for advice.

"Promising the people post-war benefits, for example, when the imperial court conquered a certain place, it would give the people money and food, and reduce or reduce the tax burden. Let the people realize that they will reap the benefits after the court wins the battle, and when the court conquers a country, their wallets will bulge a little. Only by tying the interests of the country and the interests of the people together can the people support the imperial court. ”

"Empty talk about patriotism is far less real than distributing money and food to the people and improving the quality of life. Therefore, whether it is the country or the people, vested interests are always above all else. ”

"Why did the people of the Xiongnu support the invasion of the Central Plains by the Xiongnu nobles? Isn't it because the Huns' cavalry, after winning the battle and plundering the wealth, gave some to the herdsmen? ”

"The people have received practical benefits, coupled with the propaganda of the imperial court, the whole country will naturally be united. With the support of the people, are you still afraid that the readers will oppose it? Those voices of opposition will soon be drowned out by the sea of the people. ”

"Great idea!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Use the people of the world to deal with those scholars!" ”

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already made up his mind to expand his territory.

At this moment, Xu Da happened to walk in with a bag of rice. Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, you know what he thinks.

There was a rush of excitement in my heart.

Emperor Zhu wants to fight again? That's great!

Xu Danai is a well-known warrior, and what he is most afraid of is that there is no fight. Because he doesn't know anything but to fight, he has a headache when he sees a table full of case files. What's even more terrifying is that it is still very dangerous to be idle at home, and there is a risk that rabbits and dogs will die.

I was so excited that the rice actually fell.

"Uncle Xu, what's the matter, I can't carry a bag of rice?" Qin Yu smiled.

"It's okay, it's okay, I slipped my shoulder just now." Xu Dadao.

……

"Mr. Qin, we still have urgent matters to deal with at home, so let's go back first." Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, "If we encounter any problems in the future, we will listen to Mr. again." ”

He is now anxious to go back and cut Shen Wansan's leeks to enrich the imperial treasury. Only when the imperial court has enough money can it have the capital to expand its territory. The court has no money, and nothing can be done.

Therefore, to expand the territory and conquer the Quartet, it is necessary to wait for the Ming Dynasty to become rich.

But we can't wait too long, those famous generals who follow us to fight the world are all trained by the war, and there is no one to replace the younger generations, and they can't wait for them to be old and can't move.

"Aren't we chatting and playing?" Qin Yu said, "A glass of turbid wine is happy to meet, and many things in ancient and modern times are laughed at." ”

"yes, yes, we're just talking." Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly said.

"Our four sons have been handed over to you, and I hope Mr. will teach them well." Zhu Yuanzhang said, thinking that he would expand his territory and dominate the industry for thousands of years, if he couldn't complete it, he could also let Zhu Biao, the prince taught by Mr. Qin, inherit his father's will.

"If any of them are disobedient and don't study seriously, they will ask Mr. to beat us hard. It's best to beat them so that they can't get out of bed for a few days, so that they can remember the lesson firmly. ”

"Uncle Huang, what age is it, and you are still engaged in corporal punishment?" Qin Yu smiled, "Don't worry, I won't physically punish any student." Even cold violence is forbidden. ”

"In short, please ask Mr. Qin to teach them well." Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and said coldly to the four princes, "If any of you dare to disobey Mr., our family law is not vegetarian." ”
