After digesting for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang finally suppressed the fluctuating state of mind, spoke again, and pointed to the place where Qin Mo fell above the picture scroll: "I have watched this picture these days, and the most confusing thing is Qin. As you said, Qin is so strong, why did he suddenly die after Yingzheng? ”

Zhu Yuan didn't expect Zhu Yuanzhang to ask this, so he couldn't help but pause.

Zhu Yuanzhang had already turned his head again, seeing Zhu Yuan's hesitant appearance, he predicted what this little Xiucai seemed to be planning to say, he didn't want to hear those words again, so he deliberately gathered his expression and pretended to be displeased: "Don't say anything to me three years later!" ”

Zhu Yuan really intends to excuse himself like this, not because he has no clue, but because he doesn't want to discuss similar issues at this time, because this already involves another economic fundamental that he mentioned before-distribution.

Zhu Yuan's previous plan, after talking about 'production', has not been considered in the follow-up, and will not talk about the issue of 'distribution' for the time being.

Again, this is to avoid the butterfly effect.

Encouraging production is one thing that the founding capitals of all dynasties will inevitably do, and the impact of discussion at this time will not be too great. However, when it comes to the issue of 'distribution', there is a high probability that it will affect the formulation of national policies, which may cause more variables.

However, seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's fierce appearance at this time, Zhu Yuan felt that if he shirked it again, it was difficult to say what would happen with this person's urgency.

As we all know, Lao Zhu has a strong and strategic side, but he is also a cautious eye.

Liu Bowen resigned many times before he barely got out of the mountain, and Zhu Yuanzhang kept it in his heart, and occasionally recited it publicly. Hongwu was a hero for three years, and he only gave Liu Bowen a sincere uncle.

The key is not this 'uncle', but the word 'sincerity'.

In ancient times, there was a certain practice of conferring titles, and the prefix of the title was usually either a place name, such as the Korean Duke of Li Shanchang and the King of Kaiping who often met spring. Either reflect a person's character or merits, such as Wang Guangyang's loyal and diligent uncle who was knighted at the same time as Liu Ji, and the most classic champion Hou of Han Zhihuo's disease.

Liu Bowen got the strange word 'sincerity', as if Lao Zhu was ridiculing: If you had more sincerity back then and belonged to me early, why did you only get an earl?

With a bitter smile in his heart, Zhu Yuan pondered for a moment, already had an idea, and arched his hand: "Your Highness, the rise and fall of a country is complicated, and it is difficult to summarize it in two words. Since His Highness asked, the villain could only take the liberty of analyzing it in combination with the science of economics. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction: "I know that I can't finish these things in a few words, go back and make up a book for me that you said today, remember to be more careful." ”

Zhu Yuan subconsciously wanted to take advantage of the situation for another 'three years later', thought about it, turned to the picture scroll on the wall again, thought for a while, and said: "Qin Zhi's quick death first involves the way of 'distribution' that the villain has not yet mentioned. However, regarding the doctrine of 'distribution', the villain has not yet completely sorted out his thinking, so he can only talk about it in vain. After the Shang Dynasty changed the law, the Qin Dynasty enabled the system of cultivation and warfare, and the head of the Qianqian could obtain a knighthood with military merits, thus opening up a channel for the rise of civilians. ”

Ascending channel, another quirky neologism.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang, who listened carefully, quickly realized that this should be just like the imperial examination, allowing the world's poor scholars to come to the temple and worship the prime minister.

Thinking like this, Zhu Yuan has continued: "Military merit is like the imperial examination of later generations, in terms of the study of villain economy, it is actually a redistribution of social resources. With the encouragement of this distribution system to the soldiers, the Qin soldiers fought bravely and swept through the six countries. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang failed to understand a new word this time, and felt that it was very important, so he interrupted again: "What is 'social resources'?" ”

Zhu Yuan thought for a while and said: "Society and society are similar, resources, similar to the means of production that the villain just said, but also include the production results of the people, such as land, grain, cattle and horses, mansions, etc., can be called resources. Social resources are roughly the sum of all the means of production and the fruits of production in a country. ”

These explanations may not be comprehensive, but Zhu Yuan can only interpret them according to his own understanding, after all, he does not have a "Modern Chinese Dictionary" at hand.

Zhu Yuanzhang understood, opened his mouth, and wanted Zhu Yuan to use these new words less, but after thinking about it, he felt that since it was a new science, it was probably difficult to interpret the 'Zhihu' in those traditional classics, so he didn't speak.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang no longer asked, Zhu Yuan continued: "Distribution is an important driving force for the Qin State to sweep the world. However, the unification of the day, the war was no more, the people not only lost the ascent channel of military merit, but the Qin Emperor also did not relax the strict service that lasted for a hundred years, so that the people could recuperate, and then use economics as a solution, which formed a state of reverse distribution, the court continued to squeeze the people, and the people not only had no way to rise, but worked harder, and the people's grievances accumulated. So, when Chen Sheng raised an incident in Daze Township, the world responded. This was one reason for the rapid demise of the Qin Dynasty. ”

After Zhu Yuan finished this paragraph, he saw Zhu Yuanzhang raise his hand slightly and stopped temporarily.

After waiting patiently for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang came back from his contemplation and said: "You continue, in addition, don't call yourself a 'villain' again, since you have to wait for three years, I will give you one first, hmm...... The five-grade Hanlin straight bachelor, don't be too low, you are still young, you will do things for me in the future, and you will have your own future. ”

Zhu Yuan took a step back and said with a long sigh: "Thank you, Your Highness." ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Yuan's appearance, he suddenly laughed, revealing a kind of ridicule from the elders to the juniors: "It's an arrogant one, it seems to be too low." ”

Zhu Yuan was stunned, and then understood why Zhu Yuanzhang said this.

directly gave a five-grade Hanlin straight bachelor, even if Zhu Yuan didn't understand the official system in the early Ming Dynasty, it was definitely not too low, after all, the starting point of the two lists of Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty in memory was only six or seven grades.

The problem is that if Zhu Yuan is someone else in this era and suddenly gets an official position, he must immediately bow to Zhu Yuanzhang and throw himself to the ground.

Zhu Yuan is not arrogant, he was in business in his previous life, he begged for people, bowed his head, experienced all kinds of beatings, and later beat others, the edges and corners have long been gone, he just lacks some of the instincts of people in this era who kneel when they say they kneel.

I didn't expect Lao Zhu to misunderstand.

Zhu Yuan is not worried.

Zhu Yuanzhang repeatedly mentioned the word 'too low', which shows that in his heart, his positioning of himself is obviously higher than that of the positive five grades, which is a talisman.

You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang, who has been rendered, has all kinds of fierce and evil spirits, but he is actually a person who cherishes his talents.

Just like Xie Jin, as one of the three great talents of the Ming Dynasty, because of his high talent, he was deeply favored by Zhu Yuanzhang, and even said the words of 'Enyu father and son'.

Xie Jin is a person with no emotional intelligence, he dares to say anything, and he dares to scare anyone, but in the end he was only sent back to his hometown by Zhu Yuanzhang, and told Xie Jin's father that "he is a great talent, and he will use it for ten years as a lesson".

Of course, Lao Zhu's cherishing talent also has a premise, you can't endanger the imperial power.

Zhu Yuan has a talent that can be recognized by Zhu Yuanzhang, but he does not have any thoughts of harming his chair. Even, if the next thing goes well, it can go further. At that time, in the face of various large and small storms in the Hongwu Dynasty, the problem of Zhu Yuan at least saving his life will not be too big.

These thoughts flashed quickly, Zhu Yuan stepped forward a little more, looked at the picture scroll in front of him, and then said on the topic just now: "The second reason, there is a saying in "A Fang Gong Fu": The pawn is called, Hangu is raised, the Chu people are torched, and the poor scorched earth. Has His Royal Highness ever thought about why the person who burned the Afang Palace, Xiang Yu, a Chu person? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said, "The remnants of the Six Kingdoms? ”

Zhu Yuan nodded: "Although the world of Qin was finally obtained by Liu Bang, at the beginning of the chaos, most of the people who started the incident were the remnants of the Six Kingdoms. His Royal Highness thought again, if you don't talk about the ancestral bloodline, only in terms of economic learning, why are you the remnants of the Six Kingdoms? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang followed Zhu Yuan's train of thought: "The remnants of the Six Kingdoms have what you said before...... Social resources, which can be used to recruit troops. ”

Zhu Yuan arched his hand: "Your Highness is wise." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced over: "Don't pat the horse, say it quickly." ”

Zhu Yuan: "......"

Just discussed the allusion of Zheng Guoqu, Zhu Yuanzhang made a chapter, Zhu Yuan held back, this time it was sincere, I didn't expect it......

Really.

Taking the initiative to ignore this discordant episode, Zhu Yuan said: "Your Highness should have a feeling when you read history, a century-old dynasty, a thousand-year-old family. Why do dynasties rotate and families continue for thousands of years? ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuan was about to sell it again, and when he saw Lao Zhu obliquely looking over, he immediately took the initiative to continue: "In terms of economic explanation, the reason is that compared with the dynasty, the family directly controls a large number of land, minerals, mountains, rivers and other 'means of production', and there are even thousands of 'producers' who are directly dependent on the family for survival. This constitutes a complete production system that can be used for the survival of the clans. The complete production system under direct control not only allows the family to survive for thousands of years, but also hopes to take advantage of the situation in troubled times. The Xiang clan at the end of the Qin Dynasty and the Li clan of the Tang Dynasty are all exemplars, but the two have failed and become successful, and the circumstances are different. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he was slightly puzzled: "According to what you said, the second reason for Qin's rapid death is the clan?" ”

Lao Zhu's answer deviated a little from the theme of economics tonight, but it hit Zhu Yuan's heart.

Because of the train of thought that has just been quietly decided, the next step is to digress and not talk about his own economics as much as possible, but turn to history, to politics, and to other messes.

However, Zhu Yuan couldn't be too obvious and digressed, after all, the person next to him was not a stupid person, so he said: "Yes, it's not right." Your Highness, the second reason for Qin's rapid demise was the loss of control over the country's production system, which was often directly controlled by the Shi clan, resulting in the loss of one or the other. Chen remembered that there was a saying, called 'when a soldier eats food', whoever can take out the food will naturally be able to recruit soldiers. In troubled times, the government was often lax, unable to collect taxes, and there was no way to raise soldiers. The local clans directly control the complete production system, and naturally have elite soldiers because of the abundance of food. ”

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he inexplicably thought of Guo Zixing, and thought of Zhang Shicheng, who had just been killed by him this year.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was still puzzled: "Qin is not as good as the Yuan Court, the country was still at its peak at that time, but why did it lose it, huh...... Control over the national production system? ”

Zhu Yuan didn't need to think about it, and blurted out: "The reason is in the county system!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it again: "County system? ”

Zhu Yuan once again gestured to the scroll on the wall: "Your Highness looks at this picture again, the development of society must have a gradual process, and it cannot be achieved overnight. Emperor Qin destroyed the six countries, abolished the division of feuds, established counties, and unified the world from then on, which is a great contribution to my China. However, any change in the system requires a slow process of adjustment and acceptance from top to bottom, and the bigger the country, the more so, otherwise chaos will inevitably arise. The Qin Emperor set up counties and counties, which seemed to collect all the power in the world in Xianyang, but this change lacked the cooperation of a mature bureaucratic system that would take tens or hundreds of years to form. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned again.

Zhu Yuan hesitated a little and took the initiative to continue: "As a comparison, when the time came to the Han Dynasty, Gaozu Liu Bang returned to the feudal system, but changed it to only the same surname to seal the king, to avoid the division of the world, and the coexistence of counties and counties and feudal divisions formed a buffer, so that the Western Han Dynasty lasted for two hundred years. In order to prevent the rebellion of the Seven Kings of the Western Han Dynasty, he continued to implement the Tui En Decree of the Han Dynasty and completely suppressed the clan, and the Eastern Han Dynasty was able to extend for another two hundred years. ”

Regarding this paragraph, Zhu Yuan did not want to mention it.

Because Zhu Yuan did not approve of Zhu Yuanzhang's division of the princes in history.

However, the question for now will be discussed after tonight. Moreover, even if Zhu Yuan doesn't mention it, there are some things that he may not be able to change.

Zhu Yuan's words really made Zhu Yuanzhang fall into thinking for a long time again. After half a cup of tea, Zhu Yuan heard Lao Zhu speak again: "Let's go on." ”
