See here.

Lin Che waved his hand at Zhu Yuanzhang, signaled him to calm down, and continued:

Back then, Zhao Kuangyin did not agree with the suggestions of these ministers, but there were too many ministers who suggested them. He could not persuade these ministers, let alone the majesty of the emperor, to forcibly move the capital, and finally had to compromise and strengthen the city of Kaifeng, and garrison a large number of troops around Kaifeng to consolidate the capital. ”

"Zhao Kuangyin did this just to make up for the 'layout' mistake, but unfortunately this move can only be regarded as a patch."

"Of course, this move laid the foundation for the subsequent tragic destruction of the country."

"From the moment Zhao Kuangyin made this decision, the tragedy of history was already doomed, and what awaited him was the final punishment!"

Zhu Yuanzhang listened carefully, and completely agreed with Lin Che's explanation, and he said:

"The reinforcement of the capital will inevitably increase the labor force, and the increase in the number of defenders will inevitably consume more strategic materials, which will consume national strength and lead to an empty treasury."

"I remember that the Khitan Liao State had risen not long ago, and the Jin State that rose later was even more ambitious, and its ambition was by no means as simple as obtaining tribute from the Great Song Dynasty like the Khitan Liao State, their goal was to destroy the Great Song Dynasty and monopolize the Central Plains by themselves."

"And the emperor of the Zhao family of the Great Song Dynasty, in order to protect the capital and protect his rule, he had to repeatedly expand the defenders of the capital Kaifeng, which also caused a vicious circle."

Hearing this, Lin Che applauded and praised:

"Yes, exactly."

"In the late Northern Song Dynasty, the garrison of the capital Kaifeng has swelled to nearly one million, and with the residents of Kaifeng City, the population of one capital is close to two million."

"This is a rather terrifying number, these people have to eat every day, and because it is the capital, the land of bureaucrats, royal relatives and nobles, and the army must not only eat, but also eat well!"

"In this way, the supplies from all parts of the country must be tilted towards the capital, and the rest of the world must supply the two million people in the capital to eat if there is no food, so that the people all over the country must tighten their belts and desperately transfuse blood to the capital..."

"Such a big supply, such a big pressure, in the end it all fell on the heads of the people."

"Those gentry occupy a huge amount of land, but they don't need to produce a son."

"As the so-called officials forced the people to rebel, under such a huge pressure, the common people could not survive, and they would inevitably break the kettle and rise up to rebel."

The words fell.

Zhu Yuanzhang's body couldn't help but tremble, and he substituted himself into the role and said:

"So, Kaifeng, the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty, looks prosperous and wealthy, but in fact..."

Lin Che continued:

"These riches are all earned by squeezing the blood and sweat of the people at the bottom!"

"Other places are hell on earth, and in the history of China, the number of uprisings that broke out in the Northern Song Dynasty was the largest, and there was no one."

"The Northern Song Dynasty was the army of the Jin State on the Ming side, which raided Kaifeng, captured the two emperors of Qinhui and plundered, and caused the destruction of the Northern Song Dynasty."

"In essence, before the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty, the finances of the Northern Song Dynasty had already collapsed, and the shame of Jingkang was just the last straw."

After listening to Lin Che's final summary, Zhu Yuanzhang licked his dry lips and said with a serious expression:

"Sir, we finally understand when you say that!"

"A gentleman's words are better than ten years of reading."

"The reason why the Northern Song Dynasty finally destroyed the country was that there were problems in its 'layout' at the beginning, and even if the major repairs and small repairs continued, in the end it was useless and could not finally save the dynasty from falling."

"Let's think about the mistakes in our own governance, and we have problems in the 'layout', but we can't follow the old path of the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise the ending of the Song Dynasty will be an example for our Ming Dynasty."

Lin Che nodded approvingly, and said equally seriously:

"What Your Majesty said is very true."

"As the saying goes, those who are good at playing seek power, and those who are not good at playing seek their sons."

"Your Majesty's level of play, I think you have to retreat and cultivate!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "..."

Seeing that Lin Che was making fun of his father again, Lao Zhu looked embarrassed, Zhu Biao hurriedly put down the brush in his hand, stood up and poured wine for Lin Che, while changing the topic:

"What Mr. Lin said about history made me realize that reading history is not only to understand history, but also to go deep into history, clarify the truth of history, and the game behind history."

"Mr. Lin said that the plot and the plot, we think that both are very important and indispensable."

"There is also what Mr. said, when it comes to philosophical issues, that is, we cannot look at the problem one-sidedly, but look at the essence through the phenomenon."

"I don't know if it's wrong for the students to understand?"

"Please ask Mr. for guidance on student fallacies."

After speaking, Zhu Biao bowed down and made a long bow.

Lin Che took the wine glass, took a sip, and didn't care:

"That's it!"

"You don't have to pick up some nice things."

"It's easier said than done, thinking that you may not be able to do it, and you may not be able to do it well, but in the grand chess game of history, how many people can be truly sober?"

"It's not easy for you to think like that."

Hearing this, Zhu Biao was excited, it was definitely not easy to get Lin Che so praised.

His eyes were full of gratitude, and he spoke:

"Mr. Xie's praise!"

Lin Che didn't care either, stretched out his chopsticks and added a few mouthfuls of food, I have to say that Queen Ma's craftsmanship, Zhu Yuanzhang really didn't brag.

A few simple dishes, fried with a different taste, are not worse than those restaurant masters on the banks of the Qinhuai River.

After eating a few bites of food, Lin Che explained:

"Actually, it's not difficult to re-arrange?"

"Sometimes it's easier than those big fixes, as long as you get to the point, some problems will be solved."

Speaking of this, Lin Che put down the chopsticks in his hand and took a sip of wine:

"The economic base determines the superstructure."

"What Daming lacks most now is money, if you have money, you can travel thousands of miles, and if you don't have money, you will not be able to move an inch!"

"Let's get money first, and then we can do something else!"

Speaking of this, Lin Che stretched his waist and thumped his shoulder blades:

"I'll just use this as a homework for you, go back and think about it?"

"Use your brain more when you encounter problems, don't run to ask as soon as you encounter something!"

"It's all in this position, and I'm still asking this and that!"

A word fell to the ground, and the birds were silent.

The father and son of the Zhu family who were sitting around Lin Che suddenly felt extremely embarrassed, especially Zhu Yuanzhang, looking at Lin Che's expression, he was as wonderful as he wanted.

Actually left homework for the emperor, this is the first time in the world, right?

However, although Zhu Yuanzhang was embarrassed, he firmly remembered the new term proposed by Lin Che: the economic foundation determines the superstructure.

Just when the three of them looked confused, Lin Che tapped his fingers on the table:

"Tell the lessons."

"Now let's talk about the enemy of the dynasty: the gate valve!"

When Lin Che said the word "door valve", the three fathers and sons of the Zhu family all showed disdain.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was from a humble background, was born with no good impression of the elite class, even the prince Zhu Biao, who was deeply poisoned by Confucianism.

The gate valve is not only the enemy of the royal family, but also the enemy of the common people in the world, and the father and son of the Zhu family, as the ruling class, certainly know about this.
