Zhu Di's two sons, one son, and three godsons enjoyed the imperial meal together.

That's right, Xu Jingchang was already sitting in the first position on the left-hand side, and the three pigs were all behind him. There's really no way, whoever makes them too stupid to get involved in such an important thing.

The more Zhu Di looked at Xu Jingchang, the more satisfied he was.

I like a person's eyes, it can't be hidden, that kind of gentleness, excitement, and shining eyes, Zhu Gaochi is jealous...... He even suspected that if Xu Jingchang said that he wanted to be the prince, it was estimated that his father would agree without hesitation.

It's terrible!

Zhu Di also felt the strange gazes of his three sons, and he coughed lightly.

"Since they are all members of their own family, some words can naturally be said more clearly...... It was difficult for me to raise troops and took Jianwen's world. In the final analysis, he is still the grandson of the imperial examination, my nephew, the Zhu family is killing each other, and the uncle and nephew are fighting, which is not easy to explain. People are terrible and talkative. Since entering Yingtian and ascending the throne as emperor, although there are also ministers who have advised to help solve problems. But only Jing Changxian's nephew, every time he made a move, he was just right, preserving the royal dignity, taking care of the overall situation, with far-reaching intentions, and won my heart, which really made me very pleased. ”

Zhu Di's words were completely from the bottom of his heart, Xu Jingchang initially saved Xu Huizu's life, and did not wantonly kill Jianwen's old ministers, which can be regarded as stabilizing the situation.

Later, with the help of the Liao family's case, the reputation of Fang Xiaoru and others was shaken, which was tantamount to pushing them the faint monarch and traitorous ministers.

This time, the temple was inspected again to eliminate the possibility of Jianwen's hiding, which can be regarded as quietly cutting off the troubles.

The Ming Dynasty, the civil and military ministers, no one can do this...... Not to mention coming up with effective measures one after another, there is not even a decent piece of advice.

Such as Ji Gang and the like, they only know how to track down and arrest people, and no one will let them go...... However, the problem is a political matter, which requires delicate methods and a steady layout.

Some things need to be opened and closed, but some things must be done until the point is reached, and you must not do it nonsense.

Vigorous efforts will not produce miracles, they will only flip the table and smash the pot, which is self-defeating.

Therefore, to be able to do things to the point that Zhu Di is amazed, Xu Jingchang's skills are really good.

It's just that what to do next is still a difficult problem.

Zhu Di looked at Xu Jingchang with expectant eyes.

Even Empress Xu smiled and said, "Nephew, if you have anything to say, just say it, don't worry about anything." ”

Xu Jingchang nodded, at this time, Zhu Di trusted himself unconditionally, and he might be able to say some key things. He doesn't think that he is much stronger than those people, if he doesn't have the insight of later generations, he is even far less clever than Zheng Ci and others, there is no way, these people are also rolled out of thousands of human spirits, and there is not a fuel-efficient lamp.

But then again, I still have these insights after all, and I can see them more clearly.

"Your Majesty, I heard that some people praised Fang Xiaoru and collected his poems and articles in private...... Chen Dou dared to say that if it continued like this, there would be no shortage of people who praised and sympathized with Jianwen. ”

Zhu Di's face sank, "What, I haven't done enough?" ”

"It's not!" Xu Jingchang said simply: "There are some people who want to rely on Jianwen to seek benefits, and the Jianwen Dynasty they are talking about is only the Jianwen Dynasty in their hearts, not the real Jianwen Dynasty." They use this as an excuse just to get their hands on something more. ”

Zhu Di took a deep breath and slowly fell into contemplation, Queen Xu and the three pigs also put down their chopsticks, lowered their heads, and thought slowly, but unfortunately, they couldn't figure out the Tao inside, so they could only accompany them.

After a while, Zhu Di said slowly: "I have also talked to Young Master Yao many times. The young master told me that Jianwen had gathered a large group of sour and rotten literati around him, who opposed the old system of the imperial examination, were dissatisfied with their situation, and instigated the reform of the imperial examination...... Among the many old systems of the imperial examination, the vassal king is the most obviously out of place. Only then did they aim at the cutting of the domain, and only then did I have the difficulty of appeasement! is ridiculous Jianwen, his eyes are high, and he is gullible and slanderous, he does not fail, and God does not tolerate it! ”

Xu Jingchang hurriedly nodded in agreement, but said: "Your Majesty, Taizu Shengrui, there are still people gathered around Jianwen, in a vain attempt to shake the tree, this group of people will not disappear, they will only change their strategy and continue to make noise, focusing on summoning the soul of Jianwen and questioning His Majesty's national policy...... After all, His Majesty is continuing Emperor Taizu's strategy. ”

Zhu Di's face changed suddenly, "I understand what you mean, they clearly miss Jianwen, but in fact, they are against my national policy, is Xiang Zhuang dancing the sword with the intention of Pei Gong?" ”

Xu Jingchang nodded and said, "Your Majesty Shengming." ”

Zhu Di pondered for a moment, and suddenly smiled helplessly, "What Shengming?" I'm at a loss right now! ”

It's not just Zhu Di, even Zhu Yuanzhang in his later years sighed that he had exhausted all means, but the officials were greedy for ink, and they couldn't kill them all......

In fact, this matter can be seen very clearly from the perspective of the future generations.

Zhu Yuanzhang implemented a set of strategies to maximize and take care of the people at the bottom...... And Zhu Di adheres to the strategy of maximizing and benefiting the Ming Dynasty.

Neither father nor son were accustomed to scholars.

But the gentry and officials, they control the Shilin Qing and influence people's thoughts. And they are intertwined, highly united, and super capable of action, and will not miss any opportunity to fight back.

Therefore, it is better to talk about the indiscriminate killing of innocents in the Hongwu Dynasty, or to say that Uncle Zhu Di took the position of nephew...... In the final analysis, it was all about first putting the emperor in the position of making mistakes, and then finding a way to overthrow the old system and re-establish a national policy that was more beneficial to the scholars.

Looking at the three-hundred-year history of the Ming Dynasty, I have to say that the gentry and officials still had the last laugh and successfully sent the Zhu Ming Dynasty away.

"Your Majesty, your Majesty is here, dare to say it, Your Majesty should not try to change the minds of these people, they will not repent because of how well Your Majesty has done. They will only lament that they have lost their high position and cannot take what they want...... In the face of these people, Your Majesty has only one way! ”

"What's the solution?" Zhu Di asked.

"It's to replace them completely!"

"How to replace it?" Zhu Di asked again.

Xu Jingchang glanced at Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, and the two brothers subconsciously straightened their waists and lowered their heads to listen.

"Your Majesty has already set a strategy for going to the West...... In this way, the workshop will be cultivated, so that the textile industry will flourish and the industry and commerce will develop. The merchants profited from this, and they naturally opposed the rhetoric of the gentry. And they will regard Your Majesty as the Holy Lord of the Ming Monarch who opened the era of industry and commerce, and will desperately defend Your Majesty's reputation. ”

"Besides, if you build a school and use the newspaper to influence the thoughts of the people in the city, these people will also stand on Your Majesty's side, and only in this way can you draw salaries from the bottom of the kettle and dismantle the doctor's system. Please also think twice, Your Majesty. ”

Zhu Di thought about it, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Businessmen are greedy for money and profits, I'm afraid it's not a good thing!" ”

As soon as his words fell, Zhu Lao Er quit, "Father, the child thinks that businessmen are just greedy for money and profit, and literati are fame and fortune, far more hateful than businessmen!" ”

Zhu Di was stunned, and Zhu Laosan also followed: "Father, you see that those scholars and doctors are not willing to do things at all, they just want to be supported, eat and drink for nothing, and they have to point fingers. If the child's workshop wants to find some craftsmen, it has to hire new people from his cousin. The people who came out of the school, they didn't have the stinky problems of those scholars, as long as they were paid enough, they were willing to work hard, and they were really rare talents. ”

The two brothers spoke in unison, and it was clear that they had found their place.

Xu Jingchang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, the gentry landlords just occupy the land and then rent out the land, and they don't do anything themselves, just collect the rent." The minister really can't figure it out, how can such a person still have the face to claim to be benevolent and righteous? ”

Xu Jingchang looked at the two brothers Zhu Gaoxu again, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, please think about it, King Han and King Zhao, they rely on their craftsmen to make money, so naturally they should be kind to them, at least let the workers be fed." And they also need the imperial court to open the shipping routes, go to the Western Ocean, and earn wealth. That's why they were willing to pay taxes to the imperial court and enrich the country and raise soldiers. But when it came to the gentry, what they relied on for survival was the land in their hands, which was their foundation. The tenant farmers are dead and dead, and there are new ones anyway, and when the court changes, they will be changed, and as long as the new masters still recognize their land, they will be satisfied......"

"Say no more!"

Zhu Di suddenly spoke up and interrupted Xu Jingchang's words.

According to Xu Jingchang and his two sons, the gentry officials were heinous.

But if you want to ask Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji and others, they still think that businessmen are the source of chaos, and they must focus on agriculture and suppress businessmen, and do not allow businessmen to become bigger.

It's a matter of self-talk, it's all about which side you're on?

If it is in accordance with the patriarchal rules, the Taiping Emperor who will naturally succeed to the throne really has no need to trouble himself.

Coincidentally, Zhu Di started by Jingnan, and he had a strong urge to change everything...... Xu Jingchang had already opened a new door for him, and his two sons had stepped in, so there was no need for him to wander outside.

It's just that everything can't be messed up yet, after all, the power of the businessman is still too weak, once he rushes and makes the world in chaos, it will outweigh the losses.

After all, Zhu Yunwen made a mistake and can't go through it again.

"I have taken note of your words...... This time, how many people were found out of the slaves in Beijing? Zhu Di said casually.

Xu Jingchang said: "According to the estimate of Shangyuan County, there are at least 100,000. If you can release all the people who are hiding in the temple, there will be tens of thousands. ”

Zhu Di took a deep breath, his face was very ugly.

There are millions of people in the capital, and there are so many hidden households, looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, how much is it?

Xu Jingchang said that the gentry do not produce and enjoy their success, which is really reasonable.

"In this way, all the hidden slaves found out, including the monks in the temple, will be handed over to you, and I will ask them to do things for the country, do you understand?"

Xu Jingchang nodded vigorously, "The minister understands...... The minister arranged for them to be sent to the school for training, and then handed over to the workshop in batches to be used as workers. ”

When Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui heard this, they were overjoyed and said together: "Father Shengming, in this way, the children's industry will definitely develop rapidly, and they can also contribute more finances and taxes to their father, enrich the treasury, and help their father achieve a prosperous era of eternal happiness!" ”
