Chapter 293: Returning the Favor
It's comfortable!
The moment he heard Chen Kan's sycophancy, the constipation-like expression on Zhu Di's face suddenly relaxed.
Listen, it is a clear vision, and it is a hundred years of prosperity for the Ming Dynasty.
This kid is too sincere.
I'll just say that it was a loss for Daming that my father didn't pass on the position to me at the beginning.
Fortunately, fortunately, after all, I brought Daming back to the right path.
Chen Kan stared at Zhu Di with an orgasmic expression, and a big question mark appeared in his heart again.
Don't......
No!
No, it won't.
Zhu Di's goal is the Emperor of the Ages, how can he be so naΓ―ve.
Chen Kan overturned his speculation, he felt that Zhu Di suddenly talked to him about these things, there must be his deep meaning.
But what is the deep meaning?
Chen Kan was about to collapse.
Why are the Ming people like this, can't they say anything directly?
You have to beat around the bush.
It's too bad.
Chen Kan watched Zhu Di's expression change a little blankly, trying in vain to find a trace on his face.
But...... He was disappointed.
Zhu Di has always been constipated for a long time, and suddenly he looked like he was plummeting.
So, Chen Kan gave up decisively.
There are some things that you can't comprehend just can't comprehend.
No matter how much you think about it, it's just torturing yourself.
However, Zhu Di actually laid out such a situation silently, and it seems a little impossible to say that there is no help from a master behind this.
Could it be Yao Guangxiao?
Chen Kan's mind suddenly appeared with the face of the bald monk.
If it was from him, it would be reasonable.
After all, Dao Yan is the sixth most hidden in the entire Ming Dynasty, and this kind of intrigue in the style of the sixth is him!
"Ahh
In the Heavenly Realm Temple, Dao Yan, who was receiving a certain virtuous monk, suddenly sneezed.
"Master Daoyan, the weather is getting colder, take care of your body."
An old monk wearing a brocade robe and holding a nine-ring tin staff greeted Dao Yan with concern.
Dao Yan rubbed his nose and smiled apologetically at the old monk: "It's okay, I also ask Master Yuantong to stay in the temple for a few days, and the water and land puja will not officially start in three days." β
"Amitabha."
Zen Master Yuantong folded his hands and pronounced a Buddha name, and followed a little novice into the residence of the monks in the temple.
At this timeβ
Chen Kan saw that the expression on Zhu Di's face poked at the G-spot finally converged, and couldn't help asking, "Your Majesty is here today?" β
Here comes the point.
After his vanity and sense of accomplishment were greatly satisfied, Zhu Di said with a straight face: "I came today, in addition to telling you that I am in the next big game of chess, I also want to tell you that the big fish has taken the bait." β
"The big fish is on the hook?"
"Great!"
Chen Kan's face suddenly became excited, and even Zhu Di said that it was a big fish, it must be a big fish.
Zhu Di nodded: "In three days, the action here will be handed over to you." β
Chen Kan said: "Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister has been waiting for this day for a long time, and this time, the grievances between the minister and the White Lotus Sect are settled together." β
Seeing Chen Kanying, Zhu Di bowed his head and said: "Although the layout this time is foolproof, in order to prevent accidents, I will personally check for you, and you just let it go." β
"Yes!"
At this moment, a trace of warmth crossed Chen Kan's heart.
He could feel a strong sense of concern from Zhu Di's words.
Zhu Di personally checks the check, which means that even if there is an accident on his side, he will wipe his ass clean for himself.
This feeling of having someone to rely on is really cool.
So, Chen Kan decided to return the favor.
He looked at Zhu Di and said with a grateful face: "Your Majesty, the minister suddenly feels that your layout can be more perfect." β
As soon as Chen Kan said this, Zhu Di's face suddenly sank: "You mean that my layout is not perfect enough?" β
Seeing Zhu Di's sudden change of face, Chen Kan couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, could it be that Zhu Di is a Virgo + blood type A + obsessive-compulsive disorder + perfectionist?
Bad.
However, Chen Kan guessed wrong this time.
Although Zhu Di's face sank, he still asked Chen Kan: "What do you think, let's hear it." β
Virgo, exclude!
Chen Kan breathed a sigh of relief, and then explained his thoughts and thoughts: "Your Majesty wants to solve the shortcomings of the household registration system, relying on the relocation of the capital to check and balance is naturally the safest and most perfect way, but there are two shortcomings in doing so.
The first is that it is easy to raise tigers, although Beijing is the foundation of His Majesty, but no one can guarantee that after 30 years, 50 years, the dog cultivated by His Majesty will not unite with outsiders to eat Daming. β
This is not Chen Kan's untargeted purpose, the historical Grand Canal Caoyun interest group has explained everything, and Caoyun is the product of Zhu Di's relocation of the capital.
Hearing Chen Kan's analysis, Zhu Di's face, which had returned to normal, began to change again.
Of course, he also took these consequences into account, but there is no perfect plan in the world.
There are gains and losses, and what Zhu Di can do is the lesser of two harms.
Noticing Zhu Di's face, Chen Kan quickly said the second shortcoming: "This second shortcoming is that it is easy for my Ming army to lose its combat effectiveness. β
Zhu Di bowed: "I have considered the two shortcomings you mentioned a long time ago, but compared to letting the Ming household registration system continue to erode, I think it is necessary to make some trade-offs." β
Chen Kan nodded in agreement: "The minister knows what His Majesty means, and in view of the first shortcoming, the minister's current thinking is not very mature, so the minister will not say it and pollute His Majesty's ears." β
The first disadvantage is that it may create more interest groups.
Although the struggle between interest groups is more conducive to the imperial court to control them, the existence of too many interest groups will inevitably squeeze the living space of the people.
At this stage, this problem is almost unsolvable.
And this is also the fundamental reason why Chen Kan pushed Zheng He to go to the West.
Only after Zheng He brought back a large amount of wealth from overseas could it be possible for these interest groups who were bent on sucking blood on Daming to take their eyes off the bitter people.
The contradiction never goes away, but it can be transferred.
The endless wealth overseas is the ultimate answer to Chen Kan's first question.
However, Zheng He is still building ships, so it is a little too early to talk about this issue.
"But in view of the second shortcoming, how to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, the minister now has an idea, and I would like to ask Your Majesty for reference."
Chen Kan's eyes were very sincere, so sincere that Zhu Di couldn't bear to refuse him.
Although Zhu Di didn't think that Chen Kan, a young man who had never been on the battlefield, could have any insights in this regard, he still decided to give Chen Kan a chance.
After all, Chen Kan is also good for Daming.
To be good for the Ming Dynasty is for the good of him, the emperor.
For the good of him, the emperor, that is, a loyal minister.
Zhu Di thinks that he is a wise man, and of course the opinions of loyal ministers must be listened to.
"Tell me, I'll refer to it for you."
With Zhu Di's permission, Chen Kan organized the vocabulary in his mind and said slowly: "The minister thinks that the emperor Taizu formulated a military status to ensure the military literacy of the Ming soldiers, the starting point is right, but the way is wrong. β
"Oh?"
Zhu Di sat up straight, then looked at Chen Kan fixedly, and said with a straight face: "What's wrong?" β
Chen Kandao: "The fault lies in the father passing on to the son, and the son passing on to the grandchildren." β
Zhu Di: "? β
"Nonsense!"
Zhu Di thought that Chen Kan could say something unique, but he didn't expect it to be a clichΓ©, even if he was lacking in interest.
He already knew this problem, otherwise he wouldn't have thought about moving the capital.
Chen Kan smiled faintly and continued: "Your Majesty, if we change the method and gather the grassroots generals in the army together, and have special military masters teach them comprehensively, instead of letting them be hereditary, Your Majesty thinks, can we improve the comprehensive combat strength of the army?" β
The military academy system, this is what Chen Kan intends to use to reform the Ming military system.
Historically, even though Zhu Di conducted large-scale military training in Mongolia during his five expeditions to Mongolia, the military registration system set by Lao Zhu completely collapsed in the tenth year of Xuande.
The Ming Dynasty thus opened the two hundred years of the conscription system.
However, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the recruitment system had a fatal flaw, that is, the army did not listen to the transfer, and only recognized money and not people.
There was a joke in later generations, called that the Ming army was not satisfied with the salary, and the full salary was invincible.
Therefore, the conscription system in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was not so much a recruitment as a mercenary, and whoever gave the money listened to whom.
And Chen Kan took the lead in getting such a thing as a military academy, which can not only train a large number of grassroots officers for the Ming Dynasty, but also educate them to be loyal to the monarch and patriotism by the way.
After a long time, the generals who controlled the armies everywhere in the Ming Dynasty were all military cadets, and to a large extent, they could avoid the bad problem of the army recognizing money but not people.
As soon as Chen Kan's words fell, Zhu Di seemed to grasp something important, and couldn't help urging: "What do you mean?" β
"The establishment of the Ming Royal Military Academy and the training of protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven to enrich the various grassroots positions in the Ming army can not only maintain the combat effectiveness of the army, but also allow the grassroots generals in the army to bond with the royal family, which is simply killing two birds with one stone, what does Your Majesty think?"
Chen Kan looked at Zhu Di with a smile, and saw Zhu Di's face change from casual to surprised to ecstatic.
"Seemingly, is it possible?"
Zhu Di muttered to himself, and then muttered, "Why didn't I think of it? β
"Smack~"
Zhu Di suddenly slapped Chen Kan on the shoulder, and the huge force made Chen Kan's thin little body almost kneel directly.
"Your Majesty, tap."
After being slapped, Chen Kan only felt that half of his body was numb.
Zhu Di withdrew the slap the size of a pu fan with some shame, but his face was filled with a joy of stepping on dog shit today but picking up gold again.
"Why didn't I think of such a simple thing before?"
Chen Kan smiled silently.
"I want to return to the palace immediately and summon the ministers to discuss this matter."
Zhu Di stood up and was about to leave, but when he walked out of the door, he turned his head to look at Chen Kan and ordered: "Boy Chen, you can prepare a fold and submit the specific matters, and I will send someone to pick you up when the dust settles here." β
