I am the king of the dead

Chapter 722 Daming, always keep promises!
Yu Qian said that those who can fight most are those who have regular births.

In the Qin Dynasty, there were regular workers called old Qin people, who were composed of landowners who were famous for their military merits. These old Qin people helped the Great Qin to unify the world for the first time, and helped the Great Han to unify the world for the second time.

However, in the continuous great speculation in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, based on the field system of the equal-field system, the Fubing system established flattened the world.

What about the Song Dynasty?

The Song Dynasty was full of landless people and rebellious people. The Song court could only recruit and set up Xiangjun to resettle them. The overstaffing of this Xiangjun became a serious problem for the Song Dynasty.

The common people have no perseverance if they don’t have constant property. Today it’s Song and Liao, tomorrow it’s Jin and Yuan.

In Daming, those with permanent property were replaced by hereditary military households and guards. Although the guards were ruined, they gradually moved from three sides to six sides, and finally to nine sides, and some military households remained.

Until the end of the Ming Dynasty, there was still a saying that those who win the three sides (Shaanxi, Gansu and Ningxia) win the world.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the fighting power of the Ming army was not weak, and there was even a saying that the food and salaries were enough for gods.

Zhu Qiyu said quite affirmatively: "The law of the weak people is not acceptable, so what does Yu Shaobao think about the five techniques of controlling the people?"

Yu Qian frowned and asked, "What are the five arts of controlling the people?"

"Yu Shaobao doesn't know what the Five Arts of Controlling the People are?"

Yu Qian said very confidently: "I don't know."

Zhu Qiyu thought about it carefully and said: "The first is stupidity, the second is weak, the third is poverty, the fourth is humiliation, and the fifth is fatigue. These are the five skills of controlling the people."

After hearing this, Yu Qian shuddered and said, "Did your Majesty learn the five arts from Shang Jun's book?"

Zhu Qiyu denied it and said: "That's not true. I have read every one of the 24 chapters in Shang Jun's book, and I have read it many times, but I haven't gotten the root of the five arts."

Zhu Qiyu specially read "The Book of Shang Jun". There are 29 chapters in this book, five chapters are scattered, and only 24 chapters are left.

In these 24 articles, most of them talk about why Qin State reformed, why Qin State rewarded farming wars, the interpretation of Qin's government orders, and the speculation during the reform.

Yu Qian asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty, who told you this?"

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said: "Someone outside the party is chatting, and Tiqi occasionally hears and reports, and I don't know who he is."

Only then did Yu Qian say with great regret: "Your Majesty, I think that whoever tells His Majesty to rule the country, this person should be sent to Jieyuyuan, and his family members to Japan, so that his family members can see and experience it with their own eyes. That's what happened."

"It's just ridiculous."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said: "I also think it is extremely absurd. If most people in the Ming Dynasty are dull, busy, poor, humiliated, and tired, how can there be today's Ming Dynasty? If Qin, Han, Sui, Tang, and Ming followed this method, then there will be two or three hundred years. National luck?"

No matter from which point of view, Zhu Qiyu couldn't find the rationale for the five techniques of controlling the people.

Even from an emperor's point of view, there is something reasonable about the Five Arts of Controlling the People?
When the people were forced to not wear shoes, they broke into the capital and chopped off his head?
From the most utilitarian point of view, if the common people cause civil disturbances, especially the civil disturbances involving millions of people like Deng Mao Qiye Zongliu in Fujian, as the emperor, it is also necessary to exempt the Fujian provinces from taxes for three years and restore them. For production, the court cannot collect taxes.

If the foundation is demolished to build a tall building, won't the building collapse suddenly?
Yu Qian said quite seriously: "The "Shang Jun Shu" itself is a compilation of the Shang Jun's remaining comments by later generations."

"As far as the results are concerned, if the Qin State really carried out reforms based on the nonsense Five Arts of Controlling the People, would the Qin State be able to survive the victories of the sixth generation and rule the world? It was overthrown by the Qin people themselves long ago .”

"Besides, in the pre-Qin period, the common people today, and the head of Guizhou in ancient times, how many people could be called Shangmin at that time?"

Yu Qian thought about it seriously and said: "The tea shops in the streets and alleys don't ask for a deep understanding. I think your majesty shouldn't take it to heart, but it's just swaying lips and tongues to confuse people's hearts."

"During the time of the Three Kingdoms, Emperor Zhaolie of the Han Dynasty left an edict to train the empress, saying: You can read Han books, the Book of Rites, and watch the books of the philosophers, Liutao, and Shang Jun in your spare time. , The Six Secret Teachings have been completed, but if you haven’t sent it, the Dao is dead, and you can ask yourself to learn more.”

"Knowing the strengths of a hundred schools of thought is the way to govern the country."

Yu Qian is really dedicated to assisting His Majesty. Although he doesn't know where His Majesty read such crooked ways, the Central Plains Dynasty has gone through ups and downs. Up to now, there are some unbreakable axioms, such as art is not as good as Tao.

Even if the Five Arts of Controlling the People are true, they should not be adopted. They are the real art of subjugation.

Yu Qian is especially good at the system of the country, but any use of the so-called five techniques of controlling the people will inevitably stagnate the society.

On the contrary, as long as the society is still developing, or even developing rapidly, the so-called five arts of controlling the people are nothing more than some sour literati digging out from the pile of old books, sorting them out, and talking nonsense, which is not credible.

Yu Qian said again: "Your Majesty, people fleeing to the fields for nothing, the Eight Proposals and the practice of the law make the discipline abnormal, knowing that the disease is redundant and not governing it, the rituals and music are broken and not caring about it, etc., this is the way to subjugate the country." Disadvantage."

During the Jingtai period, you could even discuss the crusade of subjugation, the disadvantages of subjugation, the king of subjugation, and the subjugation of the country. What else can you not talk about?

Because in the 14th year of Zhengtong, the Ming Dynasty almost perished, and the country's subjugation was close at hand.

Zhu Qiyu chatted with Yu Qian a lot, and gradually solved the doubts in his heart. It is not that no one in the Song Dynasty saw that the way of the weak people is not advisable, but after the formation of path dependence, it is difficult to get rid of it.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Qiyu became busy again. The Yangtze River, the waterway leading to nine provinces, is full of checkpoints along the way, as are several major tributaries.

Xu Youzhen can solve natural congestion, but he cannot solve administrative congestion.

Zhu Qiyu can.

Zhu Qiyu issued an imperial decree in Jiujiang Prefecture, ordering all prefectures and counties to conduct self-inspection, and at the same time set up Dengwen Drums at the ports of Nanjing and Songjiang Prefectures, and ordered Governor Yingtian and Governor Songjiang to conduct regular investigations to visit people's conditions , and incorporated it into the examination law.

In this way, the Yangtze River, which connects nine provinces, can truly become a thoroughfare.

In Daming, no one took the imperial decree of the Daming Emperor as a joke, His Majesty's reputation is very good, if you say it, you will definitely do it.

It doesn't matter if you continue to set up cards secretly, as long as it is reported to the court by Daming Tiqi, Yushi, Fuzhou County Affairs, and Dengwen Drum Academy, Zhu Qiyu will naturally accept the donation.

There are still many trees on Jilong Island, and there is a big gap in need.

Having nothing to do, Zhu Qiyu came to Gantang Lake, the sky was bright and clear, the sky was high and the clouds were light, Zhu Qiyu stepped on the wooden trestle bridge and came to the pavilion in the middle of the lake.

The pavilion in the middle of the lake is about five feet long, and there is an octagonal pavilion in the middle for people to rest. This place is full of fishing spots.

Fishing is Zhu Qiyu's hobby.

Ran Siniang lazily leaned on the recliner, watching Gao Jieyu sitting in the pavilion playing the piano and singing.

The sound of the piano is beautiful, the singing is beautiful, and the people are beautiful, but His Majesty's attention is always on the fish float on the lake.

To be precise, His Majesty was thinking about something, even if the fish bit the hook, he would not be moved, and he would not throw a rod for a long time.

"Sister." Ran Siniang interrupted Gao Jieyu from playing the piano.

Gao Jieyu stopped playing the piano, and asked suspiciously: "Sister, did I play it wrong?"

Ran Siniang looked at Gao Jieyu's nervous expression, and said with a smile: "I don't know the rhythm, so I don't know if you played it wrong. I have a few things here, you take them."

Gao Jieyu picked up the three pieces of fishing gear in her hand, and asked suspiciously, "What are these?"

"Let His Majesty tell you." Ran Siniang lazily leaned on the recliner again, looking at His Majesty who was fishing in the distance with a smile.

Only then did Gao Jieyu walk towards the emperor who was sitting on the fishing seat, and when she walked over, Xing'an even gave a low voice to report.

"Your Majesty, my sister gave me some things, but I don't know how to use them, so I came to ask Your Majesty." Gao Jieyu's voice was a little flattering.

When Zhu Qiyu saw what Gao Jieyu was holding, he said happily, "These two are shrimp pots, and these two are ground cages, both of which are used for shrimp fishing."

"What else did I give you?"

"This." Gao Jieyu opened a bamboo food box, opened it, and found that there were some internal organs of animals, especially the liver.

Seeing Gao Jieyu's confused face, Zhu Qiyu said, "The internal organs of these animals are called offal. Some places will be thrown away, and some places will be eaten. They are also called offal. Why are they called offal?"

"Because it's easy to catch shrimp when you put it in a ground cage or a shrimp fishing pot. Fresh liver is the best. Cut it into a small piece, like this, put it in this place, and throw it into the water."

"When you enter the water, you can fall into fish and turtles, so it is called entering the water."

Zhu Qiyu demonstrated it once. Gao Jieyu looked at the bright red liver, which even had some blood, and was at a loss for a moment, but he carefully cut a small piece, put it on the disc of the shrimp cage, and fixed it.

"There are really shrimps!" Gao Jieyu was fishing for shrimps for the first time, and there were four shrimps in the first cage, even a little reddish. After seeing the shrimps, Gao Jieyu smiled flower.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "The third prince's grandfather Tang Xing, Commander Tang, often used this kind of shrimp fishing pot to catch shrimps, but he always fished shrimps on islands in the sea, and the one with the bigger head."

"If there is no bait, you can still catch live shrimp by cutting it off."

"Xing'an, bring the bucket."

Xing'an looked at the shrimp crawling around, and said helplessly: "I forgot to bring... I put it over there, I'll go get it now."

Why doesn't Xing'an bring barrels?This cannot be blamed on Xing'an's lack of thoughtfulness.

Every time your majesty fishes, there is no one. What are you doing with the bucket?
It is true that His Majesty came to fish, but he couldn't catch it all the time. Over time, Xing'an also noticed that His Majesty was just using the name of fishing to calm down by the water.

"Wow! There are so many!" Gao Jieyu exclaimed when raising the ground cage, there were at least a dozen river prawns in one ground cage, about the size of a palm.

"This Gantang Lake is full of mountain springs with excellent water quality, but it is occupied by Lu Laixuan himself, and the common people can't get close to it." Zhu Qiyu looked at such a big shrimp and shook his head.

Gantang Bieyuan is the property of the Jinxi Lu family, and this Gantang Lake is the place where the Lu family plays in the water.

Gao Jieyu didn't answer, just took the prawns one by one, thinking that in the evening, he would make stir-fried prawns with leeks for His Majesty.

A little yellow doorman handed over an urgent letter with gold letters to Xing'an, Xing'an looked up and said, "Your Majesty, Chen Ruyan, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, has come to the Tangbao!"

Zhu Qiyu took the pond newspaper, opened it, and read it seriously.

"Call Yu Shaobao, get the map, and then call Wei Guogong Xu Chengzong and Siwei Regiment Commander Tao Jin." Zhu Qiyu stood up and walked towards the trestle bridge.

Gao Jieyu looked at His Majesty's back, and said in a low voice, a little lost: "Hey..."

Ran Siniang opened her eyes, shook her head and said, "When Your Majesty has business to do, you'd better not disturb His Majesty, even Queen Wang will."

"Your Majesty will be busy for a long time." Gao Jieyu said with some disappointment.

Ran Siniang said nonchalantly: "It's okay, Your Majesty is not in the capital, even if you have something to do, you won't be too busy."

The implication of these words is that His Majesty will not be so busy that he will not even have the chance to let her, Gao Jieyu, sleep with him!

Gao Jieyu's face turned red a little, she didn't make a sound, she just sorted out the river prawns in her hands.

Chen Ruyan, the former Minister of the Ministry of War, when Jiang Yuan repeatedly made meritorious service and His Majesty wanted to fight against the rebellion, Chen Ruyan did not love power, but chose to let the virtuous. From then on, Chen Ruyan was Chen Aiqing.

Chen Ruyan was sent to Guangzhou by Zhu Qiyu to be the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, and presided over the affairs of the Guangzhou Municipal Bureau of Shipbuilding. Now there is a report from Tangbao, obviously something big has happened.

Zhu Qiyu put the Tang newspaper on the table and said: "Li Yimin launched a palace coup, killed Li Jun, king of Annan, and Ruan Shiying, the empress dowager of Li Yue, and proclaimed himself emperor."

"Currently, countless refugees are flocking to the border. Chen Ruyan asked for advice."

Yu Qian picked up the pond newspaper and looked at it for a while and said: "We can't let them enter our Ming Dynasty. When Li Yue usurped the dynasty and established himself as king, the first emperor had an alliance with King Annan. This is a breach of contract."

"Your Majesty is merciful. I can't bear to see such a purgatory on earth. I think it is possible to let women enter the customs and settle in Guangdong and Guangxi."

Refugees, what is a refugee?

People who have to leave their homes due to foreign invasion, occupation, civil strife and other reasons are called refugees.

Who can run now?

The carnivores who occupy the allocated position in the Liyue Dynasty, let them enter the customs, that is to cause trouble for Daming himself, not to produce, but to want this and that. I am used to being a master in the Dynasty, and I will also be a master in Daming Master.

There are so many masters in Daming that they need to be cleaned up. Why bring these guys over?
Your Majesty is benevolent and has the virtue of caring for life. He puts the soul in mind and let the girl enter the customs.

After reading the Tang newspaper, Xu Chengzong hesitated and said: "Several former ministers of Li Yue's usurping dynasty have asked the Great Tomorrow Army to put an end to the rebellion. Your Majesty thinks that this matter cannot be agreed."

"We, Daming, have always kept our promises!"

"According to the first emperor's covenant, state affairs are self-determined. Da Ming is not allowed to intervene at will. Do you think we can wait and see?"

Zhu Qiyu nodded in agreement and said: "Well, what Wei Guogong said is very true, and I also think it. Let's see it again. What does Yu Shaobao think?"

"Let's see." Yu Qian said indifferently.

The current Liyue's arrogance is not chaotic enough. Right now, the crown prince was abolished and the emperor and queen mother were killed. As the natural and man-made disasters of Liyue's arrogance intensified, it was only for Da Ming to intervene.

Otherwise, Daming would have saved the people of Jiaozhi, and the people of Jiaozhi would not be grateful to Daming.

Just like ruling Jiaozhi during the Yongle period.

Just let them mess up a little more.

Jiaozhi has just suffered from a drought, and this year it has exported a large amount of grain from Daming, and all kinds of ambitious people in the court are ambitious, so the Jiaozhi Association will be in chaos. Then, it will be the time for Ming to make a move.

　However, if the so-called five arts of controlling the people are used, the society will naturally stagnate. On the contrary, as long as the society is still developing, or even developing rapidly, the so-called five arts of controlling the people will never become popular.Jiaozhi is a province of Ming Dynasty, and An Nanguo is the old name. Li Yue's arrogance is because the Li family proclaimed himself emperor, so Ming Dynasty is called arrogance.Ask for a monthly ticket, woohoo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
