Chapter 15 Heavy Agriculture and Suppression of Business Is Also Bad Governance?
At the same time, inside the prison cell.
The conversation between Lin Che and Zhu Fan continued.
"I know that the knowledge points I just taught you are a bit out of the outline, you just know it, go back and think about it slowly."
Lin Che drank a little too much today, a little dizzy, looked at Zhu Fan and asked:
"How long is it until the end of autumn?"
Hearing this, Zhu Fan's expression froze.
He knew what Lin Che meant by this.
The autumn queen asked to chop.
As soon as the court decreed, Lin Che would be beheaded.
But Mr. Lin, a talent of the world, just killed like this, it's too a waste of talent.
I must think of a way to get my father to pardon him.
Zhu Fan secretly made up his mind in his heart.
"Sir, there are still five days left before the autumn queen."
"Five more days? Time is really slow, and you have to stay up slowly! ”
"I really want to go back to my previous life soon."
Lin Che muttered in his mouth, but Zhu Fan misunderstood what he meant, and hurriedly said:
"Mr. Lin, don't worry, when I go out, I will definitely enlighten my father... Father, if you intercede with the emperor, I will definitely keep you safe. ”
"Don't!"
Lin Che hurriedly stood up to stop it.
I finally got through the autumn, don't be manipulated by this muddy boy and ruin your good deeds.
I have to think about it again, isn't it a delay!
"Zhu Er, don't bother with that, I committed the crime of deceiving the king, and the crime is unforgivable."
"Come on, come on, while there are still a few days left, I'll give you some more lessons."
"Now let's move on to the second major maladministration of the Hongwu Dynasty: valuing agriculture and suppressing business!"
Lin Che had seen Zhu Er's energy in the Imperial Prison.
Presumably, his father's rank in the court is not low, and he can speak in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
If this lord's love for his son was overflowing, and he pleaded in front of Lao Zhu, Lao Zhu pardoned himself for the sake of face.
That would be self-defeating.
Thinking of this, Lin Che hurriedly changed the topic and pulled Zhu Zhang's thoughts back.
"Valuing agriculture and suppressing business is also bad governance?"
Sure enough, Zhu Fan was diverted by Lin Che's topic.
In the university hall, Song Lian and other scholars often taught these princes that agriculture is the foundation of the world.
Businessmen are profit-seeking and opportunistic.
The merchants' pursuit of profits from the poor peasants made life even more difficult.
His father, Zhu Yuanzhang, was born as a farmer, and was bullied by businessmen since he was a child, and he has never had a good impression of businessmen.
Afterwards.
When Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he first established the national policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business.
Encourage peasants to open up land and open up land, cultivate diligently, lightly pay for small endowments, and build water conservancy.
Meantime.
Suppress commercial development, impose commercial taxes, and crack down on merchants and peasants.
Under this policy, the living conditions of the peasants at the lowest level at the end of the Yuan Dynasty gradually improved.
"Sir, this is not right, as far as I know, the imperial court has set up a policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing business, which has mobilized the enthusiasm of the peasants, and the lives of the peasants have also been greatly improved."
"The taxes of the imperial court have always been very stable, and there seems to be no problem!"
In Zhu Zhang's view, his father established the national policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business, so that the peasants' lives were guaranteed, and the treasury was gradually filled.
It is many times better than the peasants at the end of the Yuan Dynasty who were in dire straits, and I don't know how many times better.
At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, in addition to being bullied by the Mengyuan Tartars, the peasants were also taken by the merchants.
In view of this, he had doubts about Lin Che's words.
Although Zhu Fan admired Lin Che's knowledge, Lin Che was not a saint.
What's more, even saints are at fault.
Before Zhu Fan could say the next sentence, he was interrupted by Lin Che who was holding a wine glass.
"You think it's okay, it's because you don't have a wide eye."
"Don't take it for granted, okay?"
"Yes, in your eyes, the life of the peasants has improved, and that is compared to the darkest period in history."
"Don't talk far, just look at the Southern Song Dynasty a hundred years ago, although the war is not good, but people are really rich!"
"In the Southern Song Dynasty, in the southeast corner of China, the annual tax revenue is equivalent to ten times the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty."
"The Southern Song Dynasty is small in size, with little land and many people, why is it still so rich."
"People don't rely on farmers to farm and pay taxes from the fields."
"Relying on commerce and foreign trade, the commerce of the Southern Song Dynasty was highly developed, which made the small country extremely rich and prosperous."
"Therefore, the imperial court should not always focus on the land under the ass of the peasants."
"The taxes on agriculture are a drop in the bucket compared to the taxes after the business becomes bigger, and they are not worth mentioning."
Lin Che said passionately.
Zhu Yuanzhang next door didn't like that the more he listened.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from the chair.
The dragon walked up to the wall and stared at the special wall.
It was as if Lin Che was standing opposite, and he wanted to have a debate with this madman face to face.
This kid actually compared the weak Song Dynasty with his own Ming Dynasty.
Think that the northern and southern Song Dynasty were compressed by Liao, Jin, and Mongolia in a corner of Jianghuai for hundreds of years.
When is it majestic, it is a shame for the Han people.
Besides, what can you do if you have money?
It has not been ravaged by Liao, Jin, and Mongolia in turn.
In the end, it was destroyed by Meng Yuan.
Thinking of my Ming army, several northern expeditions, the momentum is like a bamboo, and the Mengyuan Tartars are driven back to the grassland.
The land of Yanyun, which had been lost for 400 years by the Central Plains Dynasty, was recaptured from the grassland peoples.
What a feat.
This kid actually compared his Ming Dynasty with the Southern Song Dynasty.
saw Zhu Yuanzhang looking angry.
Prince Zhu Biao also stood up.
The two of them stood in front of the wall, really wanting to go through the wall and slap Lin Che back in person.
Here, Zhu Fan also began to refute.
"Sir, although we admire your knowledge, we don't dare to agree with you when you say that valuing agriculture and suppressing business is a maladministration."
"You must know that the policy of valuing agriculture and suppressing business was not established by our Ming Dynasty, but has been inherited for thousands of years."
"It can be said that all dynasties have attached the most importance to agriculture and have taken agriculture as the foundation."
"And once business grows bigger, it will inevitably compete with the country for the benefits of 'mountains and seas.'" ”
"Xun Zi said: The middle-aged business is poor."
"Shang Yingyun: There are few farmers, many nobles, and poor people."
"Engaging in more business will inevitably compete with agriculture for labor resources, and even make farmland wasted, threatening the national capital."
Seeing that Zhu Fan was able to quote scriptures and forcefully refute Lin Che, Zhu Yuanzhang felt a burst of surprise.
I didn't expect this rabbit cub to be seen for three days, and I was impressed.
He said everything that Lao Tzu wanted to refute.
Who said that this rabbit cub is a poor reader, I think it is still not good for the master to teach, and this kid can become a great talent when he meets a good master.
It seems that this Lin Che is a good master to educate the princes.
Zhu Yuanzhang rolled up his beard and secretly made up his mind.
