Zhu Di was stunned, such an obvious and easy-to-understand truth, how could he not understand it as a dignified tomorrow?

It's just that he is good at war and has handed over state affairs to his eldest son Zhu Gaoxu to manage for a long time, so far he has neglected the government and people's livelihood.

And seeing that Xu Zilin used his wisdom to create this prosperous scene in this remote small county, the imperial ambition hidden in his heart began to gradually surge again.

"As the Xu County Order said, this is negligent governance, and if it continues for a long time, won't it make these people feel that their status and rights are rising day by day, and in the end, they will have the right to govern and govern?"

Although Zhu Di felt that Xu Zilin's words were reasonable, after all, the feudal and backward ancient times adopted the system of absolute monarchy.

Delegating power to the people, officials, and businessmen is tantamount to increasing their chances of rebellion in the future.

After all, all dynasties and dynasties have had the pattern of eunuchs and vassal kings, because the imperial power was too relaxed, which led to their rebellion.

Xu Zilin looked at Zhu Di and couldn't help but be a little curious, "This businessman is still patriotic, and he is so interested in governing the country and the people." ”

However, because the person in front of him is his big employer, Xu Zilin should know everything about these issues.

He smiled and shook his head, "Although the governance of the people and the governance of the country are the same, there is a huge difference between the two. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Di was thoughtful.

Xu Zilin explained: "Although this Penglai County now covers an area of 10,000 acres, it has also accumulated a lot of fame in these ten miles and eight townships. ”

"Even many people have come to settle in Penglai County."

"But even so, Penglai County is still a small county in the middle of the Ming Dynasty."

"How many people can there be?"

"Five thousand? Ten thousand? Or 100,000? ”

Speaking of this, Xu Zilin cut a cup of tea for Zhu Di, then poured a cup for himself, took a sip before saying: "No matter how many people there are, at best, they are just some ignorant people who have no knowledge and are trapped in the mountains." ”

"They don't know what rebellion is."

"As long as they are full and give him the opportunity to realize his own value through labor, they will not only work hard, but also treat you as a master of the blue sky!"

Xu Zilin pointed to the starry sky, and said confidently: "Compared to what you have also seen in the county, what kind of person I am in their eyes." ”

Looking at Xu Zilin, Zhu Di was slightly stunned, recalling what he had seen and heard in the past two days when he came to Penglai County.

The memories of being slaughtered suddenly came to his heart, and just when he was about to complain, he was slightly stunned.

Because he also found some problems from it.

Even though they asked for a ruthless price and acted domineeringly, they never said a bad word about Xu Zilin.

Even the consequences of his sky-high asking price were not pushed to Xu Zilin, which is enough to see what kind of voice the latter has in Penglai County.

On the surface, Xu Zilin looks like a smile, and he gets along with the people of Penglai County like friends, and sometimes he can make two jokes.

But none of them did the following.

This also reflects a problem from the side, that is, Xu Zilin is not as simple as it seems on the surface.

After all, to be able to subdue this poor and remote land ten years ago proves that he definitely has good abilities.

Just the dazzling novelties in the county are enough for Zhu Di to stay here for a year and a half without feeling the valve.

Thinking of this, Zhu Di changed his tone and said: "Let the people respect you without alienating you, Xu Xianling does have some ability." ”

"But here, as you said, after all, it's a remote place, and it's enough to deal with these people, but what about those big cities?"

"Take Ying Tianfu as an example, your strategies, but in Kyoto, which is full of powerful people, it seems to be a little useless."

Zhu Di didn't get Xu Zilin's face at all, since he decided to leave for the palace on the same day, and when he visited tonight, he would never have a simple conversation with Xu Zilin.

Test!

This is what Zhu Di really means.

Regarding Zhu Di's needlepoint, Xu Zilin was also outspoken, and said: "Actually, that Ying Tianfu is no different from my Penglai County. ”

"Oh?" Zhu Di couldn't help sneering, this person was really bold, he asked angrily: "Yingtianfu is the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the place of imperial power, and the gathering place of the powerful. ”

"Even some ordinary people are proud of the people of Kyoto!"

"Although you lay here, but what then, how can it compare with the heavy ground under the feet of the Son of Heaven?"

Xu Zilin looked at Zhu Di, drank all the tea in the bowl, and asked lightly: "Although Yingtianfu is a great Ming land, isn't it composed of people?" ”

"What about even the gathering place of some powerful officials?"

"As long as their needs are met, why take the risk of losing their name."

"Hahaha!"

Hearing Xu Zilin's explanation, Zhu Di suddenly laughed, he originally thought that Xu Zilin was still a little talented, but he didn't expect to say such unnutritious nonsense.

Can Penglai County be compared with Yingtianfu?

Give power to the eunuchs?

Satisfying their interests?

Isn't this just a clear plan to give these people enough capital to accumulate some hidden dangers in the future?

As he spoke, Zhu Di suddenly remembered Ji Gang's words before, "This Penglai County Commander is really a corrupt official who is wise and careful." ”

"There must be a learned master standing behind him."

Thinking of this, Zhu Di suddenly lost interest in Xu Zilin, and he was desperate to find the person behind Xu Zilin at the moment.

But he didn't want to show it in front of Xu Zilin again, so he got up and was about to leave.

Seeing the mocking look on Zhu Di's face, Xu Zilin shook his head and smiled: "Do you know why I dare to sit back and relax in the position of the county commander?" ”

Although Zhu Di lost interest, he didn't want to lose the opportunity to find that master because he offended Xu Zilin, so he asked with a twist: "Why?" ”

"Because everything that the people of Penglai County live now is not what they want, but what I took the initiative to give them."

"You know what that means?"

As he spoke, Xu Zilin's eyes collided directly with Zhu Di.

The latter was instantly stunned!

"You... What do you mean? ”

Xu Zilin slowly lowered his head, and the expression on his face returned to his usual hippie smile, "I believe that with Mr. Gentle's intelligence, he will be able to understand it easily." ”

"This man... It's always hard to see! ”

Just when Zhu Di was struggling with Xu Zilin, Ji Gang's voice came from outside the door.

"Master, there is news from the capital, saying that you should go back as soon as possible, and there are some urgent matters waiting for you to deal with."

Zhu Di glanced at Xu Zilin, then brushed his sleeves away, "Okay, I'll leave tomorrow!" ”
