Chapter 110: What Do You Think of Your Fourth Uncle?
Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately brought Zhu Xiongying over this time, just to let him take a good look at the most real side of the Ming Dynasty.
He knew that this kid had the heart and the ability, but sometimes, the idea was too aggressive.
Too eager to change some bad things in Daming.
Just like the treatment of the Japanese Invaders, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that it would be enough to solve the coastal Wolves, but he knew that his eldest grandson wanted to destroy the entire Japanese Empire.
There was also the issue of business, which they had probably discussed many times, but he knew that his eldest grandson had no intention of giving up on business.
If he dies one day, this stinky boy will definitely turn the sky upside down.
To be an emperor means to be a man of his word.
Every choice is related to the life and death of all the people in the world, and if you act recklessly, I am afraid that it will accidentally cause a catastrophe.
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang must let Zhu Xiongying see what the real Ming is like, what kind of choices are beneficial to the people, and what kind of choices will hurt the people, he hopes that Zhu Xiongying can think about these things clearly.
What a joy.
This is almost a common problem of every generation of ambitious emperors.
At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to have done the best.
He got the world from right away, iron-blooded Hongwu, but after getting the world, he put his focus on restoring the stability of the Ming Dynasty, and was very cautious in using troops, and even listed the countries that were not to be conquered.
is like the later Zhu Di, he is an emperor who is very happy.
Three expeditions to Mobei, seven to the West, the compilation of the Yongle Canon, although achieved extraordinary achievements, but also spent a huge amount of national strength and people's power, if it were not for the fat man Zhu Gaochi to help him take care of the rear, Daming does not know what he spent on?
Zhu Yuanzhang is obviously also aware of these problems, so he earnestly taught in the Emperor's ancestral teachings, be cautious about entering and leaving, and be cautious about national politics, hoping that his children and grandchildren can focus on the Zhu family's country and the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Xiongying's many proposals surprised him, but some were too bold, so he hoped that his eldest grandson would be able to analyze the problem in a down-to-earth manner.
Instead of patting the brain, today we will open a tea and horse market, and tomorrow we will support business.
Zhu Xiongying didn't know what the old man meant.
He knew that many of his ideas in the afterlife would be shocking even to the wisest men of his age.
He has good ideas, but these ideas are only good if they are truly adapted to this era.
In fact, there are not a few innovators in history.
Shang Ying's reform, Wang Mang's reform, Wang Anshi's reform, Zhang Juzheng's reform, and Wuxu's reform, but which one can really succeed?
So as a time-traveler from the afterlife, he has a lot of things to learn......
Go to the horse-drawn carriage of Jubaoshan Zhuangzi.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying, who was thinking, and said with a smile: "Eldest grandson, those ministers, especially those civil servants, are often pedantic, we can see that many of your ideas are very likely to contradict them, and at that time, you must know how to distinguish which ones are good and which ones are bad." ”
"Let's take us as an example, when we wanted to invite Mencius out of the Temple of Literature, how many ministers opposed us, but how many ministers opposed to depose Zhongshu Province? They may not be bad, and the backbone of some literati even makes us admire, but we think it is right, and we will resolutely do it! ”
"For example, this time, when you proposed to open a tea and horse exchange market in Annam, many ministers came to us to complain, saying that your idea was too exaggerated and flashy."
"But we think you're right, even if we think you're wrong, we'll support you, do you know why?"
"Because of this matter, you became the first decision of the imperial grandson, we can't let them deny you, we have to let them know that our eldest grandson's words represent our words, and there is no doubt about it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly, and Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but be a little moved.
"Grandpa, grandpa will not let you down!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and continued: "We know, so let's take you out for a walk today, just to tell you that you have the ability and vision, but no matter what, you must not forget the people, they are the foundation of my Ming Dynasty!" ”
"Hmm."
Zhu Xiongying nodded heavily.
Daming is very powerful, but there are still many problems and contradictions, and now the old man is still there, and he is very confident no matter what he does.
But once the old man is gone, there will be no one to support him unconditionally, and at that time, he will have as many things to worry about as the old man now, and he needs to face all the resistance.
Just like the old man said, he is not the emperor of the ministers, he is the emperor of the people of the world!
……
While the grandfather and grandson were talking, the carriage had already arrived in front of the Zhuangzi at the foot of Jubao Mountain.
Zhu Xiongying helped the old man get out of the carriage.
It's still a familiar doorway.
The dog in front of the door wagged his tail and ran to the feet of the old man, looking flattering and flattering.
Zhu Yuanzhang touched the dog's head with a smile, and said with some emotion: "Oh, I haven't been here for a while, and it's really nostalgic." ”
As he spoke, he walked in with Zhu Xiongying.
At this time, Lao Xu also hurriedly greeted him from the house: "Emperor, you are here!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.
Lao Xu hurriedly led the grandfather and grandson into the house, and then went down and brought a pot of coals up.
This is different from the palace, there is a warm pavilion in the palace, and here you can only rely on coals to ward off the cold.
Then, Lao Xu went down to boil water and make tea
In this cold weather, drinking a sip of hot tea can warm the body.
But when he brought the tea, the grandfather and grandson were no longer in the house.
Lao Xu smiled bitterly, he knew that His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun must have taken the old emperor to the ground.
In the glass greenhouse in the field.
Looking at the green fruits and vegetables in the shed, Zhu Yuanzhang gasped a few times.
"Eldest grandson, you can really grow vegetables in winter!"
Zhu Xiongying grinned and said a little proudly: "Grandpa, my grandson told you that my grandson is a good farmer, don't believe it!" ”
"Haha!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Our eldest grandson is really a genius!" It's grandpa who underestimates you! ”
He really found that his eldest grandson seemed to be more powerful than he had imagined.
He already thinks highly of his eldest grandson, but now it seems that it is not enough.
Maybe his eldest grandson can really bring out a Ming that is completely different from all dynasties, a Ming that is stronger than any dynasty!
Zhu Xiongying smiled and said: "But now the cost of this kind of glass greenhouse is very high, and ordinary people are not able to build it, but as my Daming's national strength becomes stronger and stronger, my grandson believes that one day, we will be able to let our people eat fresh vegetables in the cold winter!" ”
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded heavily: "Grandpa also believes it!" ”
In the past, he somewhat felt that Zhu Xiongying was exaggerating, after all, his words were always so shocking, but he found more and more that his eldest grandson's shocking words were gradually realized.
For example, his eldest grandson said that the people of the Ming Dynasty should be able to eat clean salt, and now once the salt mine in Zhuqiao Town is developed, then it will really be possible.
And his eldest grandson told him before that he wanted to grow vegetables in the winter, and now he has done it.
There is also the suppression of Kou and disaster relief, and his eldest grandson has done it all.
It seems that the tea and horse exchange market opened in Annan this time is probably also something he thought about carefully!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has always been like a torch, actually felt that he couldn't see through his eldest grandson.
"Huh, watermelon?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the few confiscated watermelons left in the field, and after being shocked, he couldn't help but wonder: "These are the watermelons that the old four swallowed, right?" Good guy, big enough, hard enough for the fourth! ”
Zhu Xiongying scratched his head and said, "Sun Er didn't know that he was the fourth uncle at that time, so he washed the Dragon King Temple and beat his own people." ”
"Huh-"
Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled lightly and said: "I don't blame you for this, if you want to blame your fourth uncle, he obviously knows your identity, and he is not honest if he hides from us to find out about you!" ”
Zhu Xiongying didn't know what to say.
Because most of the records of Zhu Di in history are the battles of Jingyan and the deeds after becoming emperor.
Before that, Zhu Di was conscientious and conscientious, defending the frontier for the Ming Dynasty.
If Zhu Yunwen hadn't implemented a drastic cut, would Zhu Di have rebelled?
But history has no ifs, and no one knows what will happen!
Zhu Di's military ability is not below Lan Yu.
He has saved all the blue jade, can't he tolerate his fourth uncle?
Zhu Xiongying was a little entangled in his heart.
From the perspective of future generations, he should try to get rid of Zhu Di, but he also feels a pity.
Zhu Di can be called the god of war of the Ming Dynasty, and he is also his own uncle, and his father and his relationship with him are also excellent.
And the last thing the old man wants to see in his life is that the Zhu family is fratricidal.
Fourth uncle, fourth uncle, I have the heart to keep you, but you must not put your nose on your face, otherwise it will not be as simple as eating melons next time.
Just thinking about it, I saw the old man looking at him, and said quietly: "Eldest grandson, what do you think of your fourth uncle?" ”
