When the soldiers have nothing to do, they will drink and make trouble. The fish and meat villagers plague the people, and these people are all old subordinates who followed the general to live and die, and the punishment of the general should not be too severe, otherwise it will be difficult to bring the soldiers in the future.

People follow you to fight in the north and south, and you will behead them if you make a little mistake?

Throughout the ages, generals have generally treated soldiers as brothers.

And Hua Yunlong is different, after he conquered Goryeo, he garrisoned in Goryeo, and the emperor of Tiangao was far away. Although he is only a duke, he is actually equivalent to the king of Goryeo, who dominates the party.

Moreover, the soldiers under his command married and had children with Goryeo women, and they all got a good home.

The soldiers will also be grateful to their general, Hua Yunlong.

This is also the best way to settle the soldiers who follow them from birth to death.

Therefore, as a military general, everyone is very envious of Hua Yunlong.

When Wenchen heard this, he stopped talking.

felt that the emperor's move was a bit too hasty.

If you want to start a war again and expand your territory, you must at least let the country recuperate for a while. Although Hua Yunlong's foreign expedition did not cost too much, after all, it still cost a lot of money and food.

Moreover, the Liaoyang area has been exempted from taxes for three years, where will the vacancy be filled?

And now that taxes are to be exempted from paying taxes elsewhere, in the long run, there will be problems in the treasury.

Many parts of the country are still under construction and are not too wealthy.

To put it simply, the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs felt that the emperor was a little floating.

However, the emperor was on the rise, and Hua Yunlong had just won a great victory in Goryeo, and the ministers did not dare to object.

And Zhu Yuanzhang has his own ideas, the military generals of the DPRK and the soldiers under them are not fighting at present. There is nothing to do every day, and it is up to the court to support them in the military camp, so it is better to let them fight as soon as possible.

Just like Hua Yunlong, he placed the proud soldiers and fierce generals in the newly opened territory of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, the minister still has something to do." At this time, Li Shanchang said: "After the people heard about the treatment of the people in the Liaoyang area, they were all very envious, and they also wanted to start a war in their own area. ”

"The people of our country are about to become a fighting nation."

"The people are good at martial arts, and many young people want to learn martial arts well and expand their territory for the country. After all, once you go to a country, you can marry a foreign daughter-in-law, and you can also get more land than in China. ”

"There are even many people in Dadu who want to do everything they can to migrate to Liaoyang." Hu Weiyong said, "Some of the population migrated to the southwest, and some migrated to Liaoyang, and over time, the people in the Central Plains and the south decreased on a large scale, which was not conducive to the development of these two places." ”

"That's probably some of Your Majesty's strategy...... A small drawback. Liu Bowen said.

"The people moved of their own free will." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Officials in the Central Plains and the South can only find their own way. If the conditions you give are good, the people will not move. ”

His idea at this time was that you are afraid that the people will move away, so please ask us to implement the apportionment of land into acres in the south, and the gentry will pay the grain as one errand and one person.

However, when the ministers heard this, there was only silence for a while.

After all, if these two new policies are to be implemented, their interests will be hurt the most. However, if it is not carried out, the people will be moved, and their land will not be able to be hired even by the tenant farmers.

There are no people for them to exploit, and even if they have more land, they will only be wasted, and they will never be able to cultivate it themselves.

When there were fewer people, they had to raise the wages of the tenant farmers, and sometimes they could not even recruit people.

The status of the tenant farmers was constantly increasing.

"Alright, retreat." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

If those officials do not take the initiative to implement the new policy themselves, then the time has not come.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked back on the past. Since discovering Qin Yu, a peerless talent, Da Ming has ushered in a new situation. Internally, the bandits were pacified, a new policy of apportionment of land to acres was implemented in production, the gentry were integrated in the tax system, and the Renaissance was implemented in culture.

Externally, it conquered Goryeo, expanded the territory of the Ming Dynasty, and then occupied Qiongzhou and Beigang, and Tibet.

It can be said that there has been a sea change.

And all the changes were brought to Daming by Qin Yu.

The basis for the implementation of these policies is silver, and the large amount of silver in the treasury is also earned by using Qin Yu's strategy. And now the treasury is obviously not enough silver, and the leeks of those merchants and wealthy households cannot be cut all the time.

……

Lujia Village.

"Mr. Qin." On this day, Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma came again to discuss the problem with Qin Yu: "Mr. Qin, I remember that you said last time that the dynasty is in decline. As time goes on, as the population increases, the land produces limited food and cannot feed that many people? ”

"Not bad." Qin Yu shook the folding fan and said.

"So how do you solve this problem?" Queen Ma asked.

"At the level of ancient times, it was unrealistic to want to dramatically increase the yield of food crops, such as high-yielding hybrid rice, which they could not cultivate. Once hybrid rice is cultivated and sweet potatoes are introduced from overseas, it will not be a problem for people to have enough to eat. Qin Yu said, "However, with the level of ancient times, it is feasible to vigorously explore overseas markets." ”

"Exploring overseas markets?" Zhu Yuanzhang was surprised.

"It is to vigorously develop the commercial economy and trade with overseas." Qin Yu said, "In ancient times, most people emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, which is the most wrong idea. ”

The most wrong idea? Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma fell silent.

"Since ancient times, China has been an agrarian economy, which has led people to feel that businessmen do not produce grain but only buy and sell, and have no substantive effect on society. Those thinkers of ancient times, such as Confucius, Mencius, Shang Ying, etc., also thought so, and under the influence of the ideas of these 'sages', almost all ancient emperors felt that merchants were useless to the state. ”

"Not bad." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded secretly when he heard this.

Qin Yu's words completely explained the reason why the ancients emphasized agriculture and suppressed business.

"Moreover, the profits obtained by the businessmen through reasonable management are often much greater than if they were farming in person. As a result, many people are very unbalanced, thinking that the merchants do not produce grain but earn more than the farmers who produce food, which is not reasonable at all, so the ancient ruling class often attacked the merchants. What do you say, the farmers and businessmen, the businessmen are the lowest, and the businessmen are all cunning villains who buy low and sell high. ”

"Isn't that so?" Queen Ma asked, "What is the benefit of the country if the merchant does not produce?" ”

The two of them, like all the ancients, were big adherents of the doctrine of the uselessness of merchants. Therefore, in history, Zhu Yuanzhang would ban the sea later, and only then would Shen Wansan be raided.
