Outside the Wuying Palace, there were many brocade guards, and Zhu Zi, the king of Tan, personally led his troops to guard it, not letting anyone watch it.

In the hall, Boss Zhu completely opened the chatterbox and said with a smug smile:

"Hehe, boy, remember, the bigger the foundation, the better, you have to be able to manage it, and it will be beneficial to manage it. We often think that when Han Guangwu was in power, Siyi competed to ask the imperial court to send officials to govern, but Guangwu just didn't allow it. ”

"Gai is Liu Xiu is also from a slight cold, and he knows many ills, so he is not allowed. This is the height of Guangwu's insight. Later kings were much worse. Just like Goryeo, they are also divided into counties and counties, and officials are set up...... The poor people in the shabby place can't eat, the court can't collect a few taxes, and they have to put money into it for relief, what do you want it to do? ”

"The back is also the person who is not talented, relying on the prestige of the court, not doing well, the national strength has declined, and it has changed dramatically, and as a result, he has been busy in vain, and he has lost the infamy of losing the country, why bother?" Zhu Yuanzhang exhaled a breath of turbid air and said categorically:

"So let's make up our minds, except for the Northwest Hulu, the rest of the small border countries, they are not Chinese patients, and I will never cut them down!"

"Because the state uses soldiers like a doctor using medicine. A lot of medicines were prescribed for the purpose of curing the disease. You can't just take medicine if you're not sick, it's going to be bad!"

"The same is true of governing the country, the country is not peaceful, and the army is used to investigate the trouble. When the world is peaceful, it is only necessary to renovate the armored soldiers, train the soldiers, and prepare for national defense. You must not learn from Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty to be rich and strong, so he is so happy that he will cause trouble, and he will naturally make enemies with other countries. But the labor division is on an expedition, and the time, place, and people are not in me, and it is easy to be unfavorable in war. The imperial court has to increase its troops, and when the treasury is empty, it has to raise taxes, doesn't this just provoke trouble? ”

"It's too much labor and money, and we must not start a war lightly. Therefore, the ancients said: 'The vast land is not the solution of long-term stability, and the people's labor is the source of chaos'! ”

"Wow, dad has become an old showman!" Boss Zhu made a long speech, and Zhu Zhen was also stunned when he heard it, but he didn't expect the old man's cultural level to get higher and higher. He couldn't say that back then.

"My father has to give lectures every morning and evening, and he will never stop for a day." The prince explained with a smile.

"It's really a long time to learn." Zhu Zhen hurriedly served the sycophants.

"You just know?" Boss Zhu became more and more proud:

"That's why we will keep the vassals of Goryeo and Annam untouched, and stipulate that there will be no liuguan outside the three rivers in Yunnan, and only raze and raze. Got it, boy? ”

"Understood, Father." Zhu Zhen looked abrupt, and asked in confusion:

"It's just that the father, since 'all the four sides are limited to mountains and seas, and they are isolated in a corner, and the land is not enough to supply, and the people are not enough to make orders', why should you worry that the heroes who are sealed in these places will one day be too big to lose?"

"Uh......" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't expect the sixth to come and attack the shield with his spear, thought for a moment, nodded and said, "It's the same." ”

"Then there is the land of Yunnan, which is far from the mainland, the people are fierce, barbarians are everywhere, and there are many toasts, if you only send the officials for a few years, you can't suppress them at all, and naturally there is no way to establish the absolute authority of the imperial court - once a barbarian strongman is born in the future, the shallow foundation of the officials will not be able to compete at all, and Yunnan will inevitably be in chaos!"

"Well......" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, with his knowledge, of course he understood that what the sixth man said was true. In fact, he named Lao Liu as the king of Yunnan and sent him to Yunnan, which was based on these considerations.

"This is still the inner Yunnan where there are liuguan, not to mention the outside of Sanjiang where there are no liuguan." Zhu Zhen said in a deep voice:

"Isn't that exactly the world of the chieftains? Otherwise, how could the Luchuan regime become bigger and stronger to the point where it dared to argue with the Ming Dynasty? ”

"If we don't change our strategy and still adopt the policy of razing and razing and Tusi autonomy, then after the elimination of the Luchuan Kingdom, it will inevitably leave a huge power vacuum. If we don't fill it, the barbarians will naturally fill it. Whether it is Burma, Siam or Annam, in short, a new small southwestern power will soon rise.

And in the process of its rise, those Tusi Tuguan who were divided by the Ming Dynasty will naturally become the object of its expansion. When the time comes, they ask the Ming for help, and the Ming Dynasty will also use soldiers to protect them, this kind of battle for others is not better than Emperor Yang of Sui? ”

"Hiss......" Zhu Yuanzhang touched the short beard with a gray chin, and he had to admit that what the sixth said made sense. Indeed, the birth of the Luchuan regime had its own soil. If the imperial court does not change its policy, even if Luchuan is eliminated, there will be new troubles that will rise rapidly.

And the last sentence of the sixth child was the most heart-wrenching - he used to think that as long as the vassal was a vassal and would not fight them, he would not be able to fight them.

But he really didn't expect that those vassals and Tusi were bullied, what should the court do? It is absolutely impossible to leave it alone. Because the core of the current vassal system of the Ming Dynasty is prestige.

If prestige is gone, then the vassal system built purely on prestige will also exist in name only.

Therefore, Da Ming can't afford to lose that person. I can only pinch my nose and harden it......

This kind of bad battle for others is indeed not as good as Emperor Yang of Sui. At least people are still fighting for themselves......

"Well, it was indeed a bit wishful thinking in the past...... "When discussing the state system with his son, he doesn't have to take care of his own face." We must seek truth from facts.

"So why don't you give Outer Yunnan to the vassal kings and nobles and let them govern themselves? In this way, the imperial court can stabilize the situation outside the three rivers without spending money and grain. Moreover, if there is something going on in the southwest in the future, he can also order the vassal king to lead the nobles to seek peace, and it will also cost the court not a single soldier. Zhu Zhen hit the railway while it was hot:

"If they can't do it, they go to someone who can. There will be brave men under the heavy reward, and there must be those who are competent! ”

"Moreover, although there are noble fiefs in the feudal kingdom of the vassal king, the nobles are not loyal to the vassal king, but are all the emperor's courtiers like the vassal king, and they must be loyal to the emperor and obey the dispatch of the imperial court. In this way, the vassal kings and nobles will contain each other, and they will not lose their tails. Then the southwest will be safe forever! Zhu Zhen finally concluded.

After listening to the sixth child's tirade, Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude finally relaxed a little, he looked at the prince and said, "Boss, what do you think?" ”

"Erchen thinks that the sixth child is wholeheartedly thinking about the Ming Dynasty, his father, and my old Zhu family." Zhu Biao said without thinking:

"As the eldest brother, hearing my younger brother think about me like this, to be honest, Erchen is extremely moved and ashamed."

"Well......" Seeing that the prince agreed, Zhu Yuanzhang finally relented and said:

"Then let's try it in Luchuan, of course you have to knock Luchuan down first......"

"Father, look at it, the son will go back and destroy this dynasty food!" Zhu Zhen smiled when he boarded.

The biggest obstacle to his life's career has finally moved away......
