Huang Xiongying nodded and said, "I recommended it, what, do they have any problems?" ”

"Nope."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and smiled: "Grandpa is just very happy!" ”

"Happy?"

Huang Xiongying showed a puzzled look.

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "The two people you recommended are very talented, they played a very important role in the process of disaster relief, and there are two more young talents in the imperial court, do you think grandpa should be happy?" ”

Huang Xiongying replied: "The two of them are really good, they are both manufacturable materials. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, looked at Huang Xiongying with a smile, and said: "But we, the happiest thing is that our eldest grandson has the talent to know people, which makes us happy more than the court has a hundred young talents!" ”

Hearing this, Huang Xiongying smiled and said, "Look, you're so happy, what's the use of your grandson's talent for knowing people?" After all, Sun Er is just a flat-headed commoner, and they will be the pillars of the court in the future! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled but said nothing.

They may really become the pillars of the court in the future, but they are all yours!

When Zhu Biao was still alive, Zhu Yuanzhang tried his best to create a set of teams for Zhu Biao, but unfortunately Zhu Biao couldn't use it, although that team can be transferred to Zhu Xiongying, but there are many problems, such as the aging of the team, such as blue jade and other uncertain factors, so Zhu Yuanzhang hopes that his eldest grandson can have his own set of team, but he didn't expect his eldest grandson to dig out two at once, which is really unexpected to him.

"By the way, eldest grandson, your method of using the victims to force grain merchants to sell grain is a good method, and Li Jinglong and they also got the grain according to your method, which is very good!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang paused, changed his words, and said: "However, there is a very critical link missing in your method, that is, you did not deal with these grain merchants. ”

"If you let go of these grain merchants so easily, then a very bad atmosphere will be formed, so these businessmen must be strictly governed, and this opening cannot be opened."

Zhu Yuanzhang said earnestly.

Huang Xiongying nodded and said, "Sun Er's purpose is just to help with disaster relief, as for the disposal of grain merchants, that is not something Sun Er needs to consider." ”

"No, you have to think about it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a straight face: "We see that you like business, and we also know that business comes with money quickly, and for the country, it does need the existence of businessmen, but have you thought about it?" Why did the dynasties emphasize agriculture and suppress commerce? ”

Huang Xiongying really didn't seriously think about this issue, thought for a while, and replied: "Do you really want your grandson to say it?" ”

"Say it boldly, say whatever comes to mind!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying's eyes full of encouragement, he really wanted to hear his eldest grandson's opinion.

Huang Xiongying nodded and said: "Because of the lack of productivity in the whole society, most of the people are self-sufficient, and agriculture has become the top priority, because it can solve the problem of eating for the people, and the problem of eating for the people is solved, and the whole society will be stable. ”

"As for suppressing business, Sun Er is a little puzzled, Sun Er thinks that although businessmen are for the purpose of profit, but they buy and sell things, far and near, and adjust the surplus and shortage, so that things can circulate and stimulate the development of the whole society, this is a good thing, why suppress?"

After listening to Huang Xiongying's words, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slightly: "Eldest grandson, your view is biased!" ”

"Let's tell you a story, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the State of Qi wanted to annex the Hengshan Kingdom, and Guan Zhong, who assisted the Duke of Qi Huan at that time, adopted a bloodless strategy, how did he do it?"

"The first step is to buy weapons produced in Hengshan at a high price, so the people of Hengshan Kingdom have given up agriculture to produce weapons, why? Because the money came quickly, the farmland began to be barren from then on! In the second step, people bought the grain of Hengshan Kingdom at a high price, and from the monarch to the people, they were all carried away by the money and sold the grain, and finally when the Qi State entered the army, Hengshan Kingdom found that it had no food, and had no choice but to surrender. ”

Huang Xiongying nodded and said, "This is Guan Zhong's classic Hengshan strategy. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Whether it is the Hengshan plot or the Shibi plot launched by Guan Zhong, it is to lure the peasants of other countries to engage in business and delay the farming, and the result is to win without a fight, and the soldiers are bloodless. ”

When Huang Xiongying heard this, he showed a thoughtful look.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "Eldest grandson, think about it, farmers work hard all year round to fill their stomachs, but what about businessmen? You only need to sell the flies and dogs, and you can make a lot of money, take your spiegel as an example, a small piece of things can sell so much wealth, this is the wealth that farmers can't get from how many lifetimes they have planted the fields! ”

"Once this kind of trend is opened, who will go farming?"

"When the time comes, our Ming Dynasty will be like the record in the Han book, the people will abandon their roots and chase the end, the cultivators will not be half, and although the poor people will give land, they will still sell it cheaply."

"In this way, the land will be concentrated in the hands of the merchants, who will not carry out agricultural activities themselves, but will buy and sell the land for the difference in price, because then the profits will be greater and it will be effortless."

What are the consequences of this? The poor will do treacherous things, the rich will do debauchery, and the number of adulterers will increase, and the whole country will be in chaos! ”

Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Huang Xiongying was stunned.

He didn't expect that the old man would see this issue so far-reaching, beyond the imagination of him, a time-traveler who thought he was more far-sighted than the people of this era.

Before the crossing, Huang Xiongying has also seen a lot of time-traveling history, the protagonists in it are always omnipotent, and most of them use the knowledge of later generations to vigorously promote the development of ancient commerce, almost single-handedly changed an era, the former Huang Xiongying also thought so, but today's old man's words, let him be shocked, have a new understanding.

Take the Tang Dynasty Kaiyuan prosperous era as an example, it was a period of commercial prosperity, the government's tolerance for businessmen was relatively high, resulting in a large number of big businessmen and rich people, the result of wealth concentrated in their hands was soaring prices, the country's finances were affected, the people's living standards declined, and the national economy was seriously damaged, which was also an inducement to the Anshi Rebellion.

The most intuitive advantage of the policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing business is that it has made the small peasant economy prosperous, prevented land annexation to a certain extent, prevented the penetration of commercial capital into the land, and stabilized the people's livelihood.

China's several prosperous eras, most of which were developed on the basis of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, are good examples.

If you want to promote the development of Daming, the development of business is inevitable, but it is by no means a book, overnight.

This reminds him of the China where he was in later life, it was a powerful China, and it was also a distinctive China, she took the people's line, not the capital line of the West, but it was such a distinctive road, which made the ancient nation of China full of vitality, and made the Western powers that had developed hundreds of years ahead of time jealous!

Thinking of this, Huang Xiongying said to the old man seriously: "My grandson has been taught!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Huang Xiongying's sincere attitude, nodded with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "So don't think that grandpa is old, like an old stubborn." ”

Huang Xiongying smiled when he heard this: "Who said that grandpa is old and stubborn, and his grandson is the first to not let him go!" ”

The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face became stronger, and he said: "We have eaten more rice than you, and the road we have traveled is longer than yours, but you are much better than us, and we don't know what we want to do when we are your age!" ”

"You're really smart, so our expectations for you are very high! You'll be better than us in the future! ”

Huang Xiongying heard this for the second time, but he didn't understand what the old man's expectations were.

"Do you expect your grandson to become an official?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said with a somewhat mysterious face: "You will know in the future." ”

Huang Xiongying was speechless, the last time he said that he was going to join the army, the old man said this, and now he is talking about being an official, the old man shook his head again, and the old man who is a businessman is not happy.

Shinong Industry and Commerce, all three of them were rejected.

Is it difficult to tell yourself to farm? But what's so good about farming, and what do you expect? And it looks like it can't be said!

So what else can be done?

Can't always ...... It's to be an emperor, right?
