"That's all it can be, alas!"

Zhu Biao sighed lightly and slowly poured himself wine.

"Perhaps, I'm really too anxious, always thinking about letting Daming get rich and strong soon, so that the people can live a good life quickly, so that my Daming iron horse can step on the grassland as soon as possible."

"Perhaps, I should really learn from you, I can always be so calm and unhurried."

Zhu Biao shook his head and handed the wine jar to Xiao Han.

"I can understand your feelings, but there are some things that really can't be rushed."

"Moreover, to put it mildly, after the chaos, it is more appropriate for a mediocre emperor to do this kind of thing, but it is not suitable for a person like you who is busy to death all day."

"What is really suitable for you should actually be to expand the territory, seal the wolf Juxu, and drink Ma Hanhai, but it's a pity that this is the case."

Xiao Han took the wine and shook his head slightly when he filled it for himself.

"Why?"

Zhu Biao was slightly stunned, and it was a little difficult to understand Xiao Han's theory.

"There are only a few stages in which a dynasty can survive, and if the prosperity comes too quickly, it will accelerate the process and shorten the life of the dynasty."

"For example, Li Shimin, the former Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, with the capital of Tianzhong, single-handedly let the Tang Dynasty complete the work of the Han Dynasty from Gaozu to Emperor Wu."

"As a result, after his son Li Zhi left, he ushered in the usurpation of the Wu family, but fortunately, the empress followed the Li family father and son, and she was exposed to it for many years.

"Otherwise, the Tang Dynasty, to a certain extent, can be regarded as the third generation, after all, after Li Zhi, the power is already in the hands of the empress."

Xiao Han held the wine glass, looked at the sake in the glass, and was quite emotional.

"But does that have anything to do with what you said?"

"After the Wu family, Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty didn't create the prosperous era of the Kaiyuan Dynasty and brought the Tang Dynasty to the extreme?"

Zhu Biao frowned, looked at the wine, and then looked at the dishes, puzzled, and couldn't eat it.

"Kaiyuan, is it prosperous?"

"Perhaps."

"It seems that Anshi caused the decline of the Tang Dynasty, but in fact, even without Anshi, the Tang Dynasty should go downhill."

"Hu Ying Luo Qi, competing for luxury and luxury."

"What a desirable prosperous era, but they can't see that Kaiyuan is already too prosperous, and it is impossible to be more prosperous."

"That is, the big pie of Datang is impossible to make it bigger, so what do you think, in this case, what will those big families, those landlords and gentry, and those rich businessmen and giants do?"

"They... Will it be enough to stop, or will you reach out to Luo Qi, who is so numerous in every household that there are so many that they come out? ”

"The world said that it was the noble concubine who charmed the king, causing the king not to die early, so that there was the Anshi Rebellion and the death of the dynasty."

"But this is just a pretext for those scholars to forcibly throw the black cauldron to the concubine, even if there is no concubine, the court is still the court, how long can they hold those hands?"

"Five, ten, or twenty?"

"It can be said that the foundation left by Zhenguan is too good, even if it has been fighting for many years, once it has stabilized, it will reach its peak in a short period of time, it is not an exaggeration to say that at a certain level, it is the Empress of the Wu family that has extended the national fortune of the Tang Dynasty for decades."

Xiao Han chuckled and drank all the wine in his cup.

"No, no, it shouldn't be like this, all dynasties, there are examples of Zhongxing, how can it be that once it is past the prosperous era, it will definitely decline, if the children of my Zhu family can work hard in the future, it may not be able to open a second peak."

Zhu Biao shook his head desperately, as if he wanted to get the concept that Xiao Han had entered into him out of his mind.

"ZTE? Can their ZTE really be the same as the peak of the year? Of course, this thing is not unprecedented, there have indeed been people who have done this, and they have succeeded, beating the enemy down, beating themselves to pieces, not only expanding the territory, but also taking advantage of the situation to solve internal problems. ”

"It's just that that person's record is almost impossible to replicate, after all, that kind of condition is too harsh, once there is a slight mistake, it will be a complete loss."

Xiao Han smiled.

"You mean, Emperor Wu of Han?"

"From your point of view, this is too extreme, isn't it? After beating Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, the two results and influences were too extreme. ”

Zhu Biao grinned, even if he was asked to come at that time, he would feel that instead of walking a tightrope, it would be better to find a way to put aside the contradictions.

"So, don't worry, now the advantage is in my Daming, take your time, I know you want to save some money and kill your hometown in Beiyuan."

"But now that my Daming is thriving, Mengyuan is declining, and the time advantage is ours, don't worry, let them hurry first." There is no need for us to rush and rush to fight with the guy who is tired and can't do it every day. ”

"When we need this enemy to come into trouble, then go deep into the grassland and solve the last breath of Meng Yuan."

Xiao Han shook his wine glass with an indifferent expression.

"So what should we do?"

Zhu Biao touched his chin.

"Back then, the old man won the world with a nine-character mantra, and today I will also have a nine-character mantra."

"Long oars, vast accumulation of grain, out of the ocean."

"We gradually build the production of the Ming Dynasty, clean up the coastal pirates, build more big ships, and then use the maritime trade to accumulate national strength, if we really want to fight, then go directly to the hometown of the pirates, there are mountains of gold and silver."

Xiao Han smiled, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked.

Zhu Biao: ...

"How do I feel that you are trying to persuade me to fight the Japanese after saying so much?"

Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows, and felt as if something strange was in his heart.

"No, I'll just say so, it's just that there are indeed mountains of gold and silver based on our return to gold and silver in the future."

Xiao Han smiled awkwardly, and finally didn't tell Zhu Biao about the national hatred and family hatred of the later generations at this time.

"Forget it, don't talk about these far, I want to know now, what do we have to do to make my Ming rise for a longer time and more prosperous."

Zhu Biao raised his glass to Xiao Han.

"It's easy to say, it's still the same sentence."

"If you enter, you will not be able to stay at home, and if you go out, you will be invincible to foreign patients, and the country will perish."

"First, in China, make the cake bigger and make it hotter, leaving a more perfect rule."

"Second, once there is really no way, then make an enemy come out and divert the contradictions, but this trick treats the symptoms but not the root cause, the transfer is not elimination, and the problem cannot really be solved, unless the battle is lost, and a fire is burned on the other side."

Xiao Han raised his glass and touched Zhu Biao.

"Oh?"

"Tell me how you make the cake hotter."

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up slightly, although Xiao Han said that the dynasty had its own rise and fall, but he didn't say it to death, it was obvious that although it could not be completely solved, there was still a door.

"Actually, we are already doing this, and the appearance of Jinyiwei is a means."

"However, enforcement is brute force after all, and if you want to better overcome the other party, only by fundamentally disintegrating the power of those who stretch out your hand can they perceive that this cake is hot and not easy to take lightly."

"Boss, you say, since ancient times, who are the people who can most subvert the imperial power?"

"Is it the peasants who revolt frequently?"

Xiao Han narrowed his eyes.

"Of course not, most of the peasant uprisings in ancient times were oppressed by the powerful families, but in the end, under their demagogy, they transferred their anger to the imperial court."

"And the court itself has been eroded by the powerful family, and corruption has been repeatedly prohibited, and it is impossible to clear itself, even if it is a virtuous king, it is also indefensible in the face of this situation."

"Therefore, the Ming Dynasty does not share the world with scholars, but with the people of the world, whether it is my father or I, I will continue to suppress those scholars and doctors in the future and show grace to the people of the world."

Zhu Biao raised his head as he spoke, looking proud.

"Oh?"

"Suppress the scholars?"

"How to suppress it? Don't let them be officials? ”

Xiao Han smiled and poured a basin of cold water on Zhu Biao.

"I..."

Zhu Biao stagnated slightly, this is indeed the dead knot of the feudal dynasty, ordinary people even have a problem with eating, how can they have the opportunity to study?

Even if you really read the book, the great Confucians in the world are all scholars, and the interpretation of the Four Books and the Five Classics is in their hands, and whether your article can pass the previous exam and be sent to the emperor is not a matter of their words.

If the dynasty wants to maintain long-term stability, it must suppress the scholars and doctors, and not let the powerful people of the world oppress the people too harshly, but at the same time, they have to rely on them, because as long as the imperial examination is held, basically 90% of the people who come are their people.

You can't get around, you can't dodge, you can't kill endlessly.

Today's imperial examinations, almost like the inspection system of the past, have reached a dead end, and they are being played by powerful families.

"You have a way, right?"

Zhu Biao looked at Xiao Han expectantly.

"Yes."

"Do you remember the "Daming Political Outline" I gave you before? The essence of the problem, this is a problem with our selection system, the family can easily block the people's upward channel. ”

"Even if my Hongwu dictionary is spread out in the future, and the people have the opportunity to read and write, the powerful family with the right to interpret the Four Books and the Five Classics can already make a hindrance in the entire imperial examination, if you want to get rid of them, you must change this status quo."

Xiao Han said to Zhu Biao.

"Here in the Four Books and Five Classics, we are already too far behind, no matter how loud we shout, it is impossible to cover up the voices of those wealthy families."

"So... I think maybe we can reopen some new tracks. ”

Xiao Han's eyes twitched, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked.

"The new track... Can this be done with a "Daming Political Outline"? ”

"Since ancient times, everyone has relied on the Four Books and Five Classics as the foundation, and now that a new one is opened, what should the scholars do if they don't admit it?"

Zhu Biao was a little worried.

"Haha! This is not short, open a new one, and it does not mean that the old one must be blocked. ”

"The Four Books and Five Classics are already classic subjects in the Ming Classics, but it will be better to be just one of them in the future."

Xiao Han smiled and looked at Zhu Biao.

"But, despite this, it's still those scholars who grasp my Ming Dynasty's statecraft faster, right?"

"After all, they have the largest collection of books in their home, and the principles are similar, and it won't be long before the track of the "Daming Political Outline" will still be theirs."

Zhu Biao's brows furrowed, with worry in his eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm not done yet."

"This "Ming Political Outline" is only one of them."

"Now let's talk about the second, I Daming issued the Ming treasure banknotes, and gradually popularized the trading market, then the officials of the Ming Dynasty must have a sufficient understanding of the laws of the market, in order to be able to represent my Ming and those shrewd businessmen."

"After all, the existence of the market in the future will most likely become an important income for my Daming."

So, should the officials who manage the market learn this? Do the members of the household department want to learn this? ”

"This is called "Daming Economics".

"In this way, those powerful families have an advantage in the governance outline, and in economics, do they still have an advantage?"

Xiao Han asked Zhu Biao.

"No, such a thing, those big families, most likely can't compare to those rich businessmen and giants who rely on themselves to run around."

"But..."

"Well, wait, according to your logic, then our Ming officials in charge of agriculture aren't they..."

Zhu Biao was stunned, and just wanted to say that the "rich businessman and giant" were not good birds, but suddenly reacted.

"Be smart, you'll draw inferences."

"That's right, about the officials involved in agricultural production, we also have to sort out a tentative book called "Daming Agricultural Techniques", this thing, those scholars who read the sages are afraid that it is difficult to understand, but those ordinary people who plough the fields, holding the Hongwu dictionary, can learn better."

Xiao Han grinned at Zhu Biao.

"You kid... Sure enough, it had to be you. ”

Zhu Biao shook his head, admiration in his eyes.

He felt that the brother in front of him was probably already preparing for this when he wrote the Hongwu dictionary.

It's just that I've been hanging on to his appetite, waiting for him to take the initiative to ask.

As for the people who rely on the Ming Dynasty to learn from agriculture can only be qualified as agriculture-related officials, this is not a problem at all, as long as they enter the Ming bureaucratic system, the things that should be made up are almost made up, then the gap between them and the family of scholars and doctors will be smoothed, and it is not easy to transfer positions.

Thousands of troops crossed the single-plank bridge, the focus is on the past, as for how to get past is not important.

Whether you jump over, run over, or simply wade through the water, as long as you pass, you go ashore.

As for the children of the common people, after becoming officials of the imperial court, there will be corruption and collusion with the scholars, that is the matter of Yushitai and Jinyiwei.

In doing so, the most important thing is to tell the people of the world that Daming has not forgotten them, and Daming deliberately left a way for them, as long as they are willing to go, they can always go to the Son of Heaven.

The Son of Heaven guards the country, and the king dies.

Da Ming chose to stand with the people from the beginning, and in the end, although Chongzhen was mediocre, he could also say things like not to hurt the people.
