"Ahem, ahem—"

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't squirt out a mouthful of rice, but choked on it and coughed violently.

"Grandpa, are you alright?"

Huang Xiongying hurriedly stood up, stroked the old man's back, and helped him calm down.

Good for a while.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally coughed, and stared at Huang Xiongying with a pair of tiger eyes: "Stinky boy, you want to be angry with us!" ”

Huang Xiongying pouted: "Didn't you let me choose it casually?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, he really said it himself, and then glanced at Huang Xiongying angrily, and said, "Let's warn you, don't beat the idea of the royal princess, otherwise we will break your legs!" ”

"Don't worry, old man, we haven't even thought about marrying a wife now, so how can we fight the idea of a royal princess?"

Huang Xiongying comforted the old man and said, "Let's talk about marrying a wife later." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted lightly and straightened his face.

Seeing this, Huang Xiongying served the old man a bowl of soup: "Grandpa, this soup is fresh, and it won't taste good if it gets cold for a while." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Huang Xiongying, and then took the soup and drank it.

Stop.

It's so fresh!

After drinking the soup, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a crab with his hand and snorted.

While sneering, he thought thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "Boy, are you still planning to join the army?" ”

Huang Xiongying sighed lightly: "To be honest, why don't we want to stay with our grandfather, but we are in the military, what can we do if we don't go to the army?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and looked at Huang Xiongying: "Do you think the household registration system of the imperial court is not good?" ”

Huang Xiongying shook his head and said: "The old man Hongwu snatched back the country from the hands of the Yuan and Mongolian thieves, the whole society has just experienced war, the economy is withering, the countryside is barren, the displaced people are lost, the household registration and land register are seriously lost, and the household registration changes are large, resulting in the imperial court's taxes and servitude cannot be collected, if there is no strict household registration system, our Ming Dynasty will not be able to restore economic development, stabilize social order, and ensure the country's servitude so quickly." ”

After listening to Huang Xiongying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying with bright eyes: "Where did you learn this?" ”

Huang Xiongying smiled and said: "When my grandson is fine, he likes to read books, and combined with the current situation, read more, think more, and learn more, just some immature views." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his grandson with a happy face.

What he didn't expect was that his eldest grandson had lived outside the palace for ten years, and his knowledge had not been pulled down.

This is really valuable.

"Where is it not ripe? I can't tell the few people in our family! ”

Saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying with a smile: "Let's take the test better than you, hmm......"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and asked: "Two days ago, there was news from the southwest, saying that Yuelu Timur rebelled, and the imperial court sent Lan Yu to go on an expedition, what do you think of this?" ”

Huang Xiongying glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang and replied: "Old man, it's better for us to talk less about such national affairs." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang made a straight face: "You can't trust grandpa?" ”

Huang Xiongying shook his head: "Not really, it's just that my opinion is a little different, and I don't dare to say it." ”

As soon as he said this, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more curious, and said: "Even if you say it, we promise you that it will never be passed on, even if you say it wrong, we won't blame you!" ”

In fact, after thoroughly determining Huang Xiongying's identity, Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to have an in-depth understanding of his eldest grandson to see if he really had the potential to win the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that Huang Xiongying was silent for a moment, he nodded and said: "Lan Yu is on an expedition this time, no matter what Sun Er thinks, General Lan will definitely return with a big victory, but Sun Er wants to say that the imperial court suppressed the southwest rebellion with a large army, which is only a symptom but not a cure." ”

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes burned: "Then what do you say?" Say it boldly! ”

Huang Xiongying nodded and continued:

"Since the establishment of our Ming Dynasty, the southwest has not been peaceful for a day, the local Tusi or the local people, almost every other time to carry out rebellions, although the court can quell the rebellion every time, but the cost of military horses, money and grain is no longer a few."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded approvingly.

The barbarians in the southwest, although he can't look down on it, it is indeed a piece of his heart.

Just like a mouse, the tiger takes a nap a little, and from time to time it comes to harass it, although it can't hurt the root, but it's really uncomfortable.

Huang Xiongying continued: "The problem in the southwest is that the native people are unwilling to naturalize, so the imperial court canonized many hereditary Tusi in the southwest, these hereditary Tusi are far away from the emperor of the mountain, naturally, they have become the local Tu Emperor, take this Yuelu Timur rebellion as an example, after he returned to the imperial court, but did not want to be governed by the imperial court, dissatisfaction with power and treatment, is the main reason for his rebellion. ”

"Sun Er feels that the imperial court should try to weaken the strength of these hereditary toasts, so that they dare not make mistakes."

"Huh?" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, his eyes were full of surprise except for deep shock.

Huang Xiongying's remarks, in one sentence, directly hit the nail on the head, and immediately summed up the root cause of the perennial turmoil in the southwest.

When many ministers of the DPRK and China talk about the rebellion in the southwest, the first thing that comes to mind is how to suppress the rebellion, how to march into the army, and how to pacify it, but they do not consider this issue fundamentally.

This immediately aroused the fire of curiosity in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying quietly, wanting to hear a different answer from Huang Xiongying's mouth.

Huang Xiongying continued: "In order to weaken the strength of these hereditary Tusi, the imperial court can follow the practice of the Han Dynasty and implement the Tui En Decree in the southwest. ”

"Push the Grace Order?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, then nodded slowly: "This is a good way." ”

The so-called Tui En Decree is actually not new, it is a method used by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in order to weaken the major princes, that is, after the death of the princes, in addition to the eldest son inheriting the throne, other sons can also divide part of the land of the territory, so as to split the rights of the princes.

This set is used on the body of the southwest toast, but it also has the same effect.

For this method, it is not that no one has mentioned it in the court, but if it is said from the mouth of his eldest grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang feels completely different.

You must know that your eldest grandson is just a child, so you can have such an insight.

It really surprised him.

"Anything else?"

The joy in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes was undisguised.

Huang Xiongying nodded: "Tui En Ling is one of them, and the second is that the imperial court can adopt the strategy of razing and razing. ”

"Raze to raze?"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slowly again.

This is not a new method, as early as more than a thousand years ago, also in the Han Dynasty, the famous general Ban Chao used this method to deal with the Western Regions.

And in one fell swoop, he pacified the countries of the Western Regions at that time and restarted the Silk Road.

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his long beard and looked at Huang Xiongying's eyes, and his appreciation was beyond words.

If you want to become the prince of the Ming Dynasty, knowledge is one thing, and strategy and vision are the most important.

Looking at the thoughtful Zhu Yuanzhang, Huang Xiongying thought that since he said it, he simply finished speaking, and said: "Actually, my grandson still has it." ”

"And?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying excitedly: "Say it quickly!" ”

Huang Xiongying nodded: "This third strategy is to change the land and return to the stream. ”

"Returning to the Stream?"

This time, Zhu Yuanzhang's brows furrowed suddenly: "This method is unheard of, tell us quickly." ”

Huang Xiongying replied: "Changing the land and returning to the stream is actually to gradually abolish the hereditary system of Tusi on the basis of the previous two strategies, appoint liuguan who can be transferred with a term of office, and then carry out the work of checking the household registration, measuring the land, verifying the payment of taxes, etc., that is, implementing the same local administrative system as in the mainland." ”

The three policies, one after the other, are interlocking until the problem of toast is completely solved.

It doesn't matter if it's really practical or not.

With the uniqueness of this insight, the long-term vision, and the thoughtfulness of his thoughts, it is enough to make Zhu Yuanzhang look sideways.

Our old Zhu family has a unicorn!

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying, his eyes were about to lose laughter......

Unconsciously.

For lunch, the grandfather and grandson ate for nearly half an hour.

After lunch, the grandfather and grandson were also tired enough today, so they took a nap beautifully.

Wake up.

The sunset melts gold, and the sunset is like fire.

The sun slanting to the west has paved the earth with a layer of gold.

The grandfather and grandson got into the carriage and went home.

As soon as they returned to Huang Xiongying's small courtyard on the bank of the Qinhuai River, they saw a familiar figure.

Not someone else.

It was Zhou Ji who was beaten by the old man yesterday and his head was bleeding......
