After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 26 Zhu Yuanzhang, You Are Too Small
The second reason for choosing Xu Da is that he is very loyal, only loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang and not biased towards the Huaixi Party.In addition, because he didn't read much, Zhu Yuanzhang estimated that he didn't understand Qin Yu's imperial skills, and it was impossible for him to pose a threat to the old Zhu family after he learned it.

Soon, the three came to the ridge of a farmland.

The leeks are planted in the ground, and the growth is extremely general.

"Mr. Qin, when we went back yesterday, we suddenly thought of a historical question, and we couldn't figure it out, so we couldn't sleep for half a night, could you spare no effort to answer it for us?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Another historical question?Still can't sleep for half a night?
Qin Yu frowned.

This village chief Huang has already reached such a level that he is not doing his due diligence, he is simply going crazy!Can't you do something right?What you should care about now is the growth of the crops in the field, not the history that has nothing to do with you at all!

It's like a playful student, because playing with mobile phones has delayed normal schoolwork.

He had pointed out this problem to him yesterday, but he still did not change anything, instead he became more and more addicted.

It just didn't help.

In contrast, it seems that the patriarch of Lujia Village is more concerned about the villagers and agriculture.

No wonder in their teacher's dormitory just now, the villagers didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about him, but they respected the patriarch very much, and anyone with a discerning eye could see it.The eyes of the masses are indeed sharp.

It's no wonder that he does not have high prestige among the villagers by doing some juggling all day long.

However, the other party is both the village head and an adult, and it is hard to say anything as a foreign teacher.If you say too much, it seems to be suspected of being too broad.Forget it, if he doesn't do his job, he will naturally have township cadres to intervene, and it has nothing to do with himself.

Although a little impatient, he still said, "What kind of historical issue?"

"We were thinking yesterday that Liu Bang was born in Ting Chang and didn't know much after he established the Han Dynasty. What did he use to build the Han Dynasty? Simply put, where did he get the money to build the construction." Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "Money is the foundation of a dynasty, money is everything."

Does the affairs of the Han Dynasty have anything to do with you?Qin Yu wanted to complain very much.

However, he still answered him seriously: "Liu Bang had a family background in the early days of the Han Dynasty. He let Xiao He, an expert in internal affairs, accumulate a lot of wealth by operating in the fertile land of Hanzhong for many years. However, the wealth accumulated by Xiao He is still insufficient. In order to allow him to create a prosperous era, but it can lay a solid foundation for the later emperors, so his later Wenjingzhizhi will be a prosperous era."

"To put it simply, although there is a relationship between the prosperity of the ancient times and the Ming Dynasty, it is not the most fundamental reason. The root cause of the prosperity is that there is enough money and the development of social productive forces. The economic foundation is the ultimate force for social development, and the economic foundation determines the superstructure. So even if Liu Bang is not the emperor after Liu Heng and Liu Qi, if someone else is the emperor, as long as he doesn't mess around, he will still be prosperous."

Isn't the monarch Shengming the root cause of prosperity?
The root cause of prosperity is the development of productive forces?Is it money?
Qin Yu's words broadened Zhu Yuanzhang's horizons again.

"The question that bothers you is how to get money in the early days of the dynasty, right?" Qin Yu got to the point.

"Yes, that's the problem." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Then let's not take the Han Dynasty as an example, let's take the Ming Dynasty as an example, because the Ming Dynasty is more extreme than the Han Dynasty." Qin Yudao, "Zhu Yuanzhang started as a peasant without any family background. Therefore, the Ming Dynasty was poorer than the early Han Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang It is more self-made than Liu Bang. The early Ming Dynasty was more short of money than the early Han Dynasty, and the example of the early Ming Dynasty can better illustrate the problem.”

Take the Ming Dynasty as an example?Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. Isn't it the early Ming Dynasty?
One bite of Zhu Yuanzhang, wouldn't he be afraid of beheading?Xu Da was also a little stunned. You must know that the current Zhu Yuanzhang is no longer the high-ranking he used to be. He already has the majesty of the emperor, and he is extremely decisive in killing.

He couldn't help worrying about Qin Yu, but when he swept his gaze to Zhu Yuanzhang, he found that he showed no signs of being angry at all.

"Just ask Mr. to tell us how Zhu Yuanzhang can get the money." Zhu Yuanzhang respectfully asked Qin Yu for advice, which made Xu Da even more surprised.

"In the early days of the Ming Dynasty, there was actually a little family background, but not much. Those family backgrounds were all stolen from various tyrants, warlords, and the Yuan Dynasty court when Zhu Yuanzhang was raising justice. However, he established the Yingtianfu School Xu Da. The Northern Expedition wiped out the remnants of the Yuan Dynasty, and it is estimated that the wealth that was grabbed before has already been used up. Therefore, he has no money for construction, and there is no prosperous era of Hongwu."

"As for how he can make money, the method is actually very simple."

simple?He racked his brains and didn't know how to make money, but he said it was simple?
"What simple method?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked impatiently.

"Fight the local tyrants and divide the fields." Qin Yu said, "Allot the fields to the farmers as their personal property."

"What is a local tyrant?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"The local tyrants are the landlords, the gentry, and the clan family." Qin Yu said, "Don't underestimate the life-saving ability of the aristocratic clan. Don't think that they have just experienced the war and the family has no money."

"When Zhu Yuanzhang and various warlords were fighting for the world, those aristocratic clans had already laid out their escape route. They had already hidden their money and food. They already had a lot of money, so isn't it easy to hide something? When the world is stable, they will pretend to be poor at first to avoid being concerned by the imperial court, and then when the society develops and the imperial court no longer cares about their money, they will take out the money, or buy officials or land, and then Continue to be their nobleman."

"So despite the change of war and dynasties, the impact on the clan family is actually very small. Only a very small number of people who participated in the warlord struggle and tried to bet will be affected."

"Remember, at any time, only ordinary people will suffer."

"So in the early Ming Dynasty, it was not that there was no money, but that it was concentrated in the old wealthy families of landlords."

"Damn!" When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the sharp eyes, a murderous intent broke out: These old landlords and wealthy people are all skilled, and after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, all of them ate rough food, pretended to be poor, and hid us all.

If Mr. Qin hadn't said it right away, we would have thought they were really out of money.

"But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't see this because of the limitations of his thinking, and he didn't find the landlord to bleed, so he was very poor in the early Ming Dynasty." Qin Yu continued, "Even if he pays court officials the lowest wages in history, and cracks down on corruption himself I also live frugally, but I still haven’t created a prosperous world. Haha, reducing the wages of officials to save money and live frugally, the pattern is small.”
