Zhang Wuji looked at Zhao Min in front of him seriously, and then asked, "Minmin, have you ever been hungry?" ”

These words made Zhao Min stunned directly.

Zhao Min came back to his senses and said, "What do you want!" Who am I? How could I ever go hungry? ”

Xiao Zhao, who was standing aside at this time, replied at this time: "Xiao Zhao has been hungry. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Wuji and both looked at her.

Xiao Zhao said: "When I was very young, my mother fostered me at my parents-in-law's house. For as long as I can remember, my mother has regularly sent me some silver taels to teach me martial arts. The rest of the time she wasn't with me. I remember one year there was a horse thief in the Western Regions. The family's money, cattle, sheep, and camels were robbed. Xiao Zhao was hungry for a few days. It wasn't until my mother came to us again that we got through it. The taste of hunger is really hard. ”

Zhang Wuji looked at Xiao Zhao and said, "I didn't expect my Xiao Zhao girl to have such an experience. ”

Zhang Wuji stood up at this time, sighed with his hands behind his back and said, "Yes, the hardest taste in the world is 'hunger'." We, the children of the wealthy, the princes and nobles, cannot understand the lives of the poor people. ”

Zhang Wuji looked at his palm, and he continued: "Now that they recognize me as the master, I naturally have to do something for them. At least we can't repeat the mistakes of Dayuan. If all systems are not changed, then what is the point of me leading everyone to overthrow the Great Yuan Dynasty? ”

Zhang Wuji said with some self-deprecation: "If you don't do anything, don't change anything, just want your own comfort and wealth, it is better to accept the conditions offered by the prince, I will rule the river with Dayuan, and I will save the sword soldiers." ”

Zhao Min nodded and said, "That's right." I still have some doubts, though. After all, it was because I promised the interests of these gentry and landlords that they were willing to help us like this. Only then can we sit firmly in the Central Plains. ”

Zhang Wuji turned around and came to Zhao Min's side, then pressed Zhao Min's shoulders with both hands and said, "Don't worry, Minmin, the world is in the world." Although most of the people are illiterate, they also have a scale in their hearts, and they may not know right from wrong, but they are definitely not stupid. ”

"If all the people in the world are well fed and clothed, and there are no thousands of hungry people to follow, those families will not be able to make any waves. After all, no one will let go of a good life, but they will be instigated to rebel. ”

"The two Han Dynasty and the nobles share the world, the Wei and Jin dynasties share the world, the Sui and Tang dynasties share the world with the five surnames and seven wangs, and the Great Song Dynasty shares the world with the scholars. When it comes to Dayuan, it is to share the world with the princes and landlords. When it comes to my Daming, this rule should also be changed. I want to share the world with the people of the world. Even if there is a person in this country who starves to death, it is a dereliction of duty for the monarch. ”

Zhao Min listened to Zhang Wuji's words and looked at him blankly.

Of course, Zhao Min is an ancient man of the feudal dynasty. A member of the old society of all evils. And it is also the biggest vested interest.

Although Zhao Min is smart, she also has her own historical limitations as an ancient.

She can't quite understand Zhang Wuji's new trend of modernization. After all, the concept of "equality for all" was too "advanced" for her.

After all, in the feudal era, in the eyes of the imperial family, there was actually not much difference between nobles and commoners, they were both "slaves" of the emperor.

If you think this title is not good, then change it to a more pleasant one, such as "courtier" and "people".

The aristocratic officials were just a more advanced "slave", a tool used by the emperor to manage the "slaves" at the bottom, and the "slaves" at the bottom were the ones who came to provide value to the emperor.

In the eyes of the imperial clansmen, they are as humble as grass mustard, and the title of "grass people" is like this.

Zhao Min was born in a royal family, although she had the teachings of Liu Bowen, a Han teacher, so that she could understand right and wrong, and even had a chivalrous heart.

But she has been nurtured by her family environment since she was a child, and her bones are actually full of the arrogance of the royal ruling class.

In her eyes, the so-called "love for the people" is just a "slogan" shouted by the emperor every day. And the purpose of benevolence is only because excessive oppression will make the "slaves" rebel.

Just like it is now. It is precisely because the Great Yuan Court has gone too far in the expropriation that these people will rise up against the Great Yuan Court.

Before, Zhao Min also thought that Zhang Wuji was also the same kind of person as them. Ideas or something, although there will be some differences, but at least it should be very different.

And those words that love the people, Zhao Min always thought that it was just a lie he used to soak the big beauty of the yellow shirt girl, and tricked Huo Jia into making her work for him.

And strictly restricting the discipline of the army is just to win the hearts of the people and let the people help him seize the world.

But now that everyone is gone, Zhang Wuji still says so, which shows that he is sincerely going to govern the world with the "chivalrous way" of "the world is the public". I sincerely hope that the people of the world can live well.

Zhang Wuji's behavior made Zhao Min somewhat incomprehensible. But Zhao Min doesn't care, as long as it is a decision made by Zhang Wuji, whether it is right or wrong, she will do her best to assist him until he achieves the goal he wants.

At least Zhang Wuji's policy can indeed make many people eat enough and starve many people to death. At least that's a good deed.

Zhao Min said at this time: "My Wuji brother is really a bodhisattva. Well, since you've decided, then I won't say anything more, after all, you are a true dragon son of your word. It is difficult to convince the public to change the order at the moment.

Zhao Min frowned slightly at this time, and said seriously: "But the problem we have to face right now is the problem of money." At present, the entire treasury, including the treasury and your treasury, is more than 300,000 taels of silver. Although the batch of grain transported by Sister Su can solve the grain and grass problem of our Northern Expedition. ”

"But how to solve the problem of military salaries is a big problem. The soldiers are desperate, and if they don't pay for a long time, then it is very likely that they will mutiny, or even plunder the people directly. ”

"My Dayuan's army has always had the habit of 'beating grass and grain', and their money and food are not a problem, because as long as they conquer the town, they can 'supply on the spot' at any time. But we have strict military orders, and our soldiers can't do that. So Brother Wuji, you have to think about it now, how to solve the military salary of the Northern Expedition? After all, the Northern Expedition didn't end in a day or two. And the city can't be taken down in a day or two. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Wuji pondered: "This is a big problem. But I can't grab it. Otherwise, find someone to borrow! ”

"Borrow?" Zhao Min muttered and asked, "Then who do you borrow from?" Sister Sue? That's a good idea. ”

Zhang Wuji originally wanted to issue "bonds", but when he heard Zhao Min mention this God of Wealth, Zhang Wuji wanted to try his luck with her.

After all, Su Mengqing is a "treasure", and he can always create "miracles" when he is unexpected.

Their Su family is known as the richest man in Suzhou, even if they can't get money from her, at least they can get a list of "local tyrants and inferior gentry".

Now Zhang Wuji just sighed that the most profitable tea in this era, the origin of sea salt, is not on his own territory at the moment. Otherwise, he wouldn't have to worry about this little thing. It really didn't work, and before the Northern Expedition, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng were killed.

After all, more than 300,000 taels of silver may not be enough to beat Dayuan, but it should be enough to clean them up.
