Zhu Di understood what Zhu Su meant, this is like hiding a group of mountain bandits on the mountain next to his house, and he blatantly sent a war letter to the old Zhu family and told the landlord Lao Zhu family under the mountain: I am fighting this mountain, and when I have trained all my subordinates, I will rob your old Zhu family first.

His Zhu Di's idea was: Let's take out the family's silver first, gather the young and strong, smelt the sword and forge the sword, and take the men and horses to attack the mountain, even if the other accomplices slip away, it doesn't matter, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, first destroy the mountain bandit leader.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty also had this idea. He not only destroyed the bandit leader, but also succeeded in leveling the cottage. Although the family wealth was exhausted, the old Liu family has become the most arrogant family in the village, and in the following decades or even hundreds of years, no one dares to question the prestige of the old Liu family.

But Zhu Su's idea is not like this, Zhu Su's idea is: We not only want to destroy the mountain bandits, but also occupy the village on the mountain, turn the mountain into the mountain of our old Zhu family, and think of placing people on the mountain and planting grain to relieve the famine......

For this reason, we must take every step of the way and destroy the bandits. Our old Zhu family not only wants to be majestic for ten years and a hundred years, only if the bandit village is occupied and the mountain is turned into the property of the old Zhu family, will there be no other bandits to occupy this mountain.

"Could it be that you can use the step-by-step method now?" Zhu Di wondered.

"It works, why can't it?" Zhu Su smiled slightly. "The times are different, during the Han and Tang dynasties, the Han Emperor and the Tang Emperor relied on the combination of grace and power to control the grassland. It's not that they don't want to occupy it, but because the grassland has no output, for the Chinese people living in the rich land of the Central Plains, it is just a piece of chicken ribs that are tasteless and a pity to discard. ”

"But now it is different, thanks to the progress of wool spinning technology, the grassland land can produce a steady stream of wool benefits for our China. In this way, cattle and sheep can not only raise cattle and produce milk, but can even be called the gold of the grassland. This, coupled with the advent of cement, allowed us to build trade routes on the grasslands and promote trade...... The land of the prairie is also profitable. ”

"As long as the profit is greater than the waste, we in China can use the 'step-by-step' strategy to deal with the rogues, relying on the wool trade and road construction to advance and encroach on the grassland step by step. Duke Wei also wanted to use this method to take Helin as the center to collect the eastern part of the grassland that had lost its subordination due to the defeat of the Yuan Court. Since the east can be used, the west can naturally be used, and the prestige of Sudieer cannot spread all over the grassland for the time being. ”

"There is another strategy, which is also a common method when dealing with rogue criminals......"

"Fifth brother is saying, Zhao'an?" Zhu Zhang, who had been listening silently, suddenly spoke. Zhu Su was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Second brother knows Zhao'an very well? ”

"That's nature." Zhu Fan said with a smile. "When my brother first established the Qin Gang, he also met a lot of rangers who came to stir up trouble. Later, they were recruited one by one, and the Qin Gang had the current momentum. After being included in the Qin Gang, there were many good men among them. ”

"So while we are building roads and enclosing sheep and building cities on the grassland, we can also recruit small tribes on the grassland...... I inherited the Yuan court and ruled the grassland, which is a matter of course. It's better to follow me Daming...... That's what it means, right? Zhu Di also smiled.

"That's right. In terms of family background, our Da Ming is much thicker than Sudieer. Is it to follow Daming to eat and drink spicy food, or to follow the so-called Great Khan? Those leaders of the steppe are not stupid, and naturally know how to choose. Zhu Su said.

The three brothers laughed.

"It seems that I still can't sit in Suncheon, and from time to time, I still have to go to find those Warat people to contact and connect." Zhu Di said.

"Naturally, although the Ming Dynasty's focus now is to help Duke Wei and develop the eastern grassland forces...... But on the western grassland, you can't let Sudieer be too idle...... From time to time, he went to the west to make a conquest and attracted a few Warat tribes to come over...... He also needs more time than us now, and he dares to gather soldiers to come and attack me. ”

"It's just too slow. If you do this, you don't know if you can swallow the grassland in the year of the monkey. Zhu Di said regretfully.

"Not slow, not slow, when the herdsmen on the grassland follow and can't grab it, knowing that the only way to live a good life is to take refuge in the Ming Dynasty, they will naturally respond to my Daming Wang Shishan."

"Avalanches often start with some barely audible tremors. As long as there is a slight momentum, the snow will rush down the entire mountain like a landslide and tsunami. Wooing tribes and making shepherds settle down are these seemingly insignificant forces. Sooner or later, it will turn into an avalanche, completely destroying the thousand-year-old practice of plundering the grasslands. ”

Zhu Su said it firmly, Zhu Di chewed it for a long time, and nodded in agreement.

The next day, he and Zhu Fan left Yingtian, and Zhu Su, Zhu Biao, and Zhu Li, the three brothers who stayed in Beijing, went out of the city for more than ten miles on behalf of Lao Zhu and Queen Ma. When he returned home, Zhu Li went to Longjiang Shipyard, and Zhu Biao also returned to the cabinet in a hurry, busy doing a big thing.

"Scientific research reform", this national policy that Zhu Biao has planned for several years, is about to be fully implemented!

This is the first national policy drawn up by the crown prince Zhu Biao, although Zhu Biao also participated in politics before, and also controlled more than eighty percent of the power in the DPRK and China through the cabinet, but in the final analysis, it is still in the policy of Lao Zhu "Xiao Gui Cao Sui", all the reforms related to the Ming Dynasty are all promoted by Lao Zhu personally. The "scientific examination reform" is the first item proposed by Zhu Biao himself and improved by himself and the cabinet officials, and even Lao Zhu did not interfere too much.

From Zhu Biao's standpoint, he actually didn't have to do this. Reforming the scientific examination will inevitably offend a large part of the old literati. Don't look at these people who are now declining under the suppression of Lao Zhu and Zhu Su Xinxue, but the hundred-legged insects are dead but not stiff, and their hidden power under the surface of the water is still very huge.

Reform of scientific research, not to mention whether it is difficult or not, will definitely damage the hope of Shilin.

But Zhu Biao doesn't care anymore. A few years ago, he might have cared about his reputation among the literati, and wanted to be a "benevolent and filial son" and "ancient sage" in the book of sages, so that the Ming Dynasty could "all the people are in the dynasty" and realize the "rule of three generations". But now, he's not so naïve.

The interests of the country are the most fundamental interests, and between the interests of the country and the interests of the literati, as the crown prince, he must sit firmly on the side of the interests of the country.

The old-style scientific research has become a stumbling block to the greater national interest, so he, Zhu Biao, as the future monarch of the Ming Dynasty, should try to use these means of the Son of Heaven to eradicate it.

This is Zhu Biao's own understanding of the "way of being a king". For the emperor, inherit the hope of a country, and hold supreme authority. It's not for pleasure, it's not for the sake of the reputation of the benevolent monarch written in the history books and in the mouths of the literati.

Rather, it is to be able to use the authority in their hands to manipulate and guide various factions in the country at a critical time, so that their actions tend to be in line with the direction of national interests. As for factors that are harmful to the interests of the country, only the emperor can get rid of all the confusion of factional interests and start to remove the ills.

Only a high emperor can have such authority, so the emperor should also have such determination.
