Chapter 100: 400 Million People

"It's like leveling up and fighting monsters, starting with a simple copy." Qin Yu said, "When your strength is improved and you are equipped, you can play difficult copies and finally dominate." ”

Upgrade to fight monsters? Copy?

Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma glanced at each other, indicating that they couldn't understand these words.

However, the general meaning seems to be able to be guessed.

As for some new terms that often pop up in Qin Yu's mouth, they said that they have long been used to it.

"The measure of spreading the land into the mu will sooner or later fall on the heads of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and sooner or later it will touch the core interests of the nobles of the two places. When the time comes, they will also object, how to deal with it? Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

"Implement it in the southwest region first, and when the southwest region is rich, set an example for other provinces." Qin Yu said, "Everything is difficult at the beginning, and if you do it well at the beginning, things will be relatively simple in the future." For example, Lujiacun Primary School couldn't accept female students at first, but Zhu Yingrao and Xu Miaojin came, and other villagers also sent their daughters to school one after another. That's the power of example. ”

"When the southwest becomes rich, the officials in the southwest will be immediately promoted to weaken the power of officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"Create another southwest party and confront officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang."

"In addition, the people in the southwest live and work in peace and contentment, and pay more taxes every year than anyone else. The facts are in front of them, and even if officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang want to oppose it, they will be unable to do so. ”

"Uh-huh, hmm-hmm......" Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma nodded again and again as they listened.

"As for the gentry as one errand and one pay, it is to eliminate the privilege of the gentry class to pay the grain unduly." Qin Yu said, "This article is also a major measure for the benefit of the people and the weakening of the scholar class. ”

"Once the core interests of the feudal aristocracy are touched, they will stand up and fight to the death."

"For example, during the Yongzheng period, there was a boycott of students in Henan."

"It is their prerogative not to pay for the bread of the scholars. Privileges are removed, and no one agrees. Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"The boycott of students was a big thing, and it caused a sensation all over the country at that time, and Tian Wenjing couldn't handle it at all. Later, the fourth elder brother Hongli went, and he also dealt with chicken feathers. The ability of the two of them to deal with things is a little insufficient. ”

"The whole country was shocked by the boycott of the students, and this kind of thing is indeed difficult to deal with properly." Queen Ma Road.

She is a person who has read books and knows the difficulty of reading people. Hooligans are not scary, they are afraid that hooligans are educated. All of those students are talented and famous, which means that they are still highly educated hooligans.

"What should you do if you encounter such a situation?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Simple." Qin Yu said, "The way to deal with it properly can be easily figured out by anyone who has received nine years of compulsory education." ”

The reason why he often says the phrase 'nine-year compulsory education' is also for propaganda. The aim is to get local children to come to school and complete the nine-year compulsory education as soon as possible.

Again? The two of them were speechless for a while.

Is nine-year compulsory education really that good? I thought to myself, if only we had nine years of compulsory education.

"How? Please also ask the gentleman for advice. "Queen Ma humbly asked.

"That's magic against magic." Qin Yu said.

"The implementation of the gentry as a whole, the errand and the one who pays the grain, the one whose interests are damaged, the one who benefits." Qin Yu said, "And the beneficiaries are the people, if the students dare to strike the exam, they will organize the local people and work against the students." ”

"Facing the ragged, old, and small ordinary people...... If those who read books dare to continue to oppose it, do they still have the face to say that they are reading the books of sages?

They still have the face to say that they study for self-cultivation, Qi family, ruling the country and leveling the world? ”

The common people are the world!

"If the officials in charge of handling this matter reprimand them with these two sentences, it is estimated that they will be eager to find a crack in the ground to get into."

"Clever!" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"It's amazing!" Queen Ma Road.

"If we have received nine years of compulsory education, we can come up with such a good way, and ask my husband to help us complete the nine years of compulsory education." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Although we are a big man, we are also very fond of learning." ”

"You two are too old." Qin Yu said, "Nine-year compulsory education is not about adults, it only serves children. ”

Qin Yu came up with the trick of using magic to fight magic, including the trick of starting from a remote area with the new politician in front of him. In thousands of years of feudal dynasties, no emperor or official could think of it.

Even in the twenty-first century, no historian has proposed it.

Don't believe in whiteness.

……

"Finally, let me conclude again." Qin Yu also liked to study history before, so when he talked to them, he also said endlessly, "After the establishment of the new dynasty, the southwest bandits will be exterminated." ”

"First of all, it is not a problem to exterminate the stubborn people, and secondly, it is promised that the bandits will give them land after they go down the mountain."

"Now here's the key!" Qin Yu said, "The land that the government promised to give them is not the field that they abandoned before, but the fertile land of the landlord's family. Taking advantage of the weakness of the landlord class, with the help of bandits after descending the mountain, they were completely eradicated. The bandits had been oppressed by them before, and they had long hated them, and they would be very active in dividing the landlord's land. ”

"Fighting local tyrants, they are most willing to do it!"

"Moreover, the fertile land of the landlord's family is more attractive to the people than the barren land."

"After the complete elimination of the landlord class, the homeopathic implementation of the apportionment into the mu, the gentry as one errand and one grain! The people no longer paid the poll tax, and they had land, and the court encouraged reclamation...... It won't be long before the population of the common people will increase at a geometric rate, the people will become rich just around the corner, and the court will be strong just around the corner. ”

"Coupled with the elimination of the privilege of the gentry not to pay for food, the people were happy."

"After the southwest is rich, the local officials will be promoted, and finally the new policy will be spread to the whole country, and it will be difficult for the imperial court to be strong. I remember that after Yongzheng Qianlong implemented the new policy, the population of China skyrocketed to 400 million, which was already the peak of the feudal dynasty. ”

400 million people!? Queen Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang trembled when they heard this, what a strong country this must be!?

"Amazing, amazing, Mr. Qin is really a celestial! Thank you Mr. Qin for your advice. Zhu Yuanzhang was grateful from the bottom of his heart and admired Qin Yu. Qin Yu summed it up like this, which was equivalent to teaching him by hand.

And what he was taught was the trick of creating the world's most powerful empire.

"By the way, what's the second question you asked?" Qin Yu asked. What he said just now, for him, was just a joke about many things in ancient and modern times, and he didn't take it seriously at all.
