Chapter Seventy-Nine: Why Did Emperor Hongwu Become the King of the Dead Country?
Side.
Prince Zhu Biao's sword frowned.
Like Zhu Zhang, he listened in a fog and did not understand the deep meaning of Lin Che's words.
Just as he was about to get up and ask his father, the voice next door sounded again:
"I know you don't understand! Let's take the Mongols as an example! ”
"The Mongols who are now settled in the Central Plains, after a hundred years of integration, when you see them, can you still find in them the barbaric temperament of riding horses and crisscrossing the grasslands?"
"These people live more like Han people than our Han people, with elegant temperament and polite quality, they never say that they are Mongolians to the outside world, but regard themselves as Han people and are proud to be Han people."
"These people are completely adapted to farming life, and if they are allowed to go back to the grassland to herd horses, they will not go back if they are killed!"
"It can be said that these Mongols have been completely assimilated by Han culture!"
"It has been completely integrated into the Chinese nation!"
Seeing that Zhu Fan seemed to understand whether he understood or not, Lin Che continued:
"These Mongols have changed from a nomadic civilization to an agricultural civilization, and profound changes have taken place in the economic structure and inheritance culture."
"Looking back at the long river of history, it is not difficult for you to find that the Chinese nation is constantly joined by fresh blood and formed through continuous integration."
"These other people who have been absorbed into the Chinese nation have brought different cultures and technologies, as well as wealth."
"In the early days of the Western Han Dynasty, the Han army fought with the Xiongnu and repeatedly fell into disadvantage, because at that time, the Han army was dominated by infantry troops, and even if there were cavalry, the combat effectiveness of the cavalry was far from being able to compete with the Xiongnu cavalry."
"It's not that the Han people's physique is inferior to the Huns, but the quality of the war horses under the crotch is far inferior to the other party."
"But in the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, this disadvantage was reversed, do you know what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did?"
Hearing this question, Zhu Fan thought about it seriously.
The story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty fighting against the Xiongnu has been told more than once by the Confucians in the University Hall, but I don't know if the ideas of these Confucians are in line with Mr. Lin...
Zhu Fan said cautiously:
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty introduced a policy of raising horses, and hired Huns who were good at raising horses to train war horses."
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! ”
Lin Che applauded and praised:
"You're right!"
"Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty implemented the strategy you said and reversed the decline on the battlefield in one fell swoop."
"And the Han-Hungarian War also turned from defense to offense."
"This is where the Chinese nation is advanced, learning from each other's strengths, embracing all rivers, and being humble and open."
Zhu Fan realized something and seemed to understand something:
"So... What does Mr. mean, we Han people should continue to absorb technology and wealth from other races to strengthen themselves? ”
"Through culture, we will merge with other races!"
As soon as this statement came out.
Lin Che's eyes showed a look of relief:
"Yes, I finally understood something."
"I'm right, but not quite."
After receiving Lin Che's praise, Zhu Fan couldn't help but show joy and said:
"Students are stupid!"
"Please sir!"
After speaking, he raised his glass and toasted Lin Che
Lin Che casually raised his glass and touched him, and said lightly:
"It's the right thing to do with the technology."
"It's not right to absorb wealth."
"Isn't it right to absorb wealth?"
Zhu Fan heard this, chewed it a few times, and was confused again.
Looked at.
Lin Che smiled:
"It's very difficult to absorb wealth directly, didn't I say it before, those aliens are now well-learned, and they are not so easy to fool."
"So, let's take a different approach."
"Absorb those who carry wealth, absorb those who can make money, and dig up the roots of these alien races."
"Let these rich people of different races come to our Daming and do two things in their lives."
"Earn money, spend money!"
Zhu Rong: "..."
"You must know that the upper class is all connected, so that these rich people of different races can spend money and live comfortably in the Ming society, and feel the charm of our Han culture."
"In this way, once it is passed on to ten, ten to hundred, there will be more rich people of different races who come to Daming to enjoy life, and eventually be completely assimilated into Han Chinese."
"Everyone takes what they need, those who will spend money to enjoy, and those who will earn money pay more taxes."
"Isn't it beautiful!"
After hearing Lin Che's words, Zhu Fan stood up suddenly, his eyebrows full of admiration.
Meanwhile.
The father and son of the Zhu family next door also showed a look of amazement.
However.
Before the father and son could applaud, Lin Che poured a basin of cold water down:
"However, this matter can only be thought about, and it is impossible."
"If you want to blame, it's strange, the current emperor has turned back the clock on history and walked into a dead end."
"It is impossible for the Ming economy to take off!"
"Da Ming will also die because of lack of money!"
As soon as this remark came out.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart:
That's right, why did it turn on us again?
Who are we going to provoke?
Why did we turn back the clock on history again?
When Lin Che said this, we have all become sinners in the history of the Ming Dynasty!
Zhu Biao saw that his father's face was ugly, and he hesitated to persuade him.
That's when it happened.
Zhu Zhang, who was separated by a wall, asked the doubts of the father and son here:
"Mr. Lin..."
"Why do you say that!"
"Didn't you praise the current emperor's martial arts before, you can be called the first emperor of the ages..."
"Why are you talking about becoming the king of the dead country again?"
Zhu Fan said, puzzled.
This Mr. Lin's lecture is really good, and when he talks about it, it makes people angry and enthusiastic.
But always at a critical time, there is a turning point, and the country will die at every turn, listening to the panic of seepage.
Lin Che took a sip of wine and said lightly:
"Praise and praise, scold and scold."
"The merit cannot be overcome, and the merit cannot be concealed, these are two different things."
"You know, the founding emperor set a policy, if he didn't realize the mistake at the time, it often continued."
"Even if future generations find that there is a problem, they will not easily abolish it, otherwise they will be labeled as a great rebel."
"This has been the case since ancient times."
"Isn't it just the death of the country?"
"I've told you about this before."
Zhu Fan sighed, and originally wanted to defend Lao Tzu, but what people said was the truth, and there was really no way to defend it.
After thinking about it for a while, he stood up and bowed and said:
"The student didn't understand what Mr. meant."
"Please advise!"
After Lin Che poured himself a drink, his body stretched out, and then he said:
"There's really nothing to talk about about this stuff, and if you talk too much, it becomes a complaint."
"This is also a helpless thing, people's vision is limited, you can't look at the next few hundred years, and it's normal to do wrong things."
"It will be more painful to know more things, but you can't change them."
"You will continue to be your noble young master after you go out, why bother yourself?"
Hearing Lin Che's words, Zhu Zhang's face was red, his ears were red, he gritted his teeth, and said without giving up:
"I can't say that, you see that we have been studying with you for half a month, and we have made a lot of progress more or less!"
"It feels so much stronger than before!"
Zhu Fan saw that Lin Che's wine cup had bottomed out, so he hurriedly filled the wine, pulled a piece of chicken thigh, handed it to Lin Che, and flattered him:
"Why don't you just talk about it?!"
"Drink to relieve boredom!"
"Otherwise, listen to half of it, leak half of it, and feel uncomfortable!"
"Sir, did you say that?"
Lin Che shook his head when he heard this, took the chicken leg handed over, and said helplessly:
"You, you don't listen to useful things, but useless people get to the bottom of it, endlessly."
"You're so tough!"
