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

Chapter 42 Don't listen to Laozi and listen to grandson

Besides China, there are so many beautiful and rich places?Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked when he heard this.I began to think quietly, "If we can incorporate all those lands into the Daming territory, then my Daming world..."

"As the founder of the country, we must create great achievements for future generations. Let this generation suffer from the hardships suffered by several generations. Then in the future, what we will leave to future generations will be eternal happiness and peace."

"Anyway, the Ming Dynasty has just established the country, and there are many generals who can conquer and fight well. The famous generals are all fought in actual combat. Veterans who have experienced hundreds of battles can be one to ten on the battlefield. Now let them go to the Quartet to conquer the city and conquer the land easily. In the future, the country has been peaceful for a long time, and the generals and soldiers have not experienced the baptism of war, but will not fight."

"So now is the best time for Daming to expand its territory!"

"And if you don't fight, those arrogant soldiers will not be easy to arrange, and if you don't arrange them well, it's easy to breed rebellion. Instead of worrying about how to arrange them, it's better to let them continue to fight and make great achievements for the Ming Dynasty."

"The feudal dynasties in ancient times actually tried to expand their territory. However, when the generals in charge of the expedition encountered the Mekong River, the Himalayas, and the Changbai Mountains, they felt that there was no need to fight over them. Anyway, there are bitter cold places there. People who are uneducated are also barbarians." However, Qin Yu didn't know what he was thinking at the moment, and continued.

"So they are only away from creating a huge territory for the dynasty. They only need to cross a big river and cross a high mountain. The thought that China is the most civilized and richest, and the land is vast and rich, hinders expansion."

"But it can't be said that they are blindly confident. After all, China's ancient civilization has a long history, and it is worthy of self-confidence. Ancient China leads the world."

"Mr. Qin's analysis is really profound, and we admire it. But Mr. Qin..." After being excited, Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down again, "If Daming wants to start a war with the outside world, what should the domestic scholars collectively object to? Because even Lao Tzu As I said, a soldier is an ominous weapon, not a gentleman's weapon... Confucius also once said, be wary!"

"Lao Tzu's inaction is not suitable for ruling the country." Qin Yu said bluntly, "On this point, we must listen to Sun Tzu. Sun Tzu said: Soldiers are the important affairs of the country, the place of life and death, and the way of survival."

"Since it is the way of life and death, for the survival of the dynasty and the food and clothing of the people, even if they take the initiative to launch a war, it is okay. For example, the Huns, they invaded the Central Plains, but also for their herdsmen to have enough to eat, and to obtain iron and silk for the nation. Step into civilization. If they were allowed to govern by inaction, they would still be primitive tribes.”

"The imperial court should launch an expedition to expand its territory. We also think it's right. But those pedantic scholars don't understand at all. They will stick to the outdated Confucian concepts all day long, oppose expedition, and have a big reason. One set." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "How to shut up those scholars? We can't kill them all."

"Murdering is definitely wrong. Not only will it not stop their verbal attacks, but it will backfire." Qin Yu said, "The best way to deal with them is to block them."

"What kind of sparse method?" Zhu Yuanzhang humbly asked for advice.

"Promise the interests of the people after the war. For example, when the court conquers a certain place, they will give the people money and food, and reduce taxes. Let the people realize that after the court wins the war, they will gain benefits. The court conquers a country. Their wallets will expand a little. Only by tying the interests of the country and the people together can the people support the court.”

"To talk about patriotism is far better than to distribute money and food to the people and improve the quality of life. Therefore, whether it is the country or the people, vested interests will always take precedence over everything else."

"Why do the people of the Xiongnu support the aristocrats of the Xiongnu to invade the Central Plains? Is it because the cavalry of the Xiongnu won some battles and plundered the wealth, and then distributed some to the herdsmen?"

"The common people have received practical benefits, and coupled with the propaganda of the imperial court, the whole country will naturally be united. With the support of the common people, are they afraid of the opposition from scholars? Those voices of opposition will soon be drowned out by the vast ocean of the common people."

"Good idea!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Use the people of the world to deal with those scholars!"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang had already made up his mind to expand the territory.

At this moment, Xu Da just walked in carrying a bag of rice.Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, he knew what he was thinking.

A burst of excitement in my heart.

Emperor Zhu wants to fight again?Great!

Xu Dan is a well-known warrior, and his greatest fear is that there is no battle.Because he can't do anything but fight, he has a headache when he sees the table full of files.What's even more frightening is that it is still very dangerous to be idle at home, and there is a risk that rabbits will die and dogs will cook.

Because I was so excited, the rice fell off.

"Uncle Xu, what's the matter, you can't carry a bag of rice?" Qin Yu smiled.

"It's okay, it's okay, my shoulder slipped just now." Xu Da said.

……

"Mr. Qin, we still have urgent matters to deal with at home, so let's go back first." Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, "If we encounter any problems in the future, we will listen to Mr.

He is now eager to go back and cut Shen Wansan's leeks to enrich the imperial treasury.Only when the court has enough money can capital expand its territory.The court has no money and can't do anything.

Therefore, to expand the territory and conquer the Quartet, we need to wait for the Ming Dynasty to become rich.

But we can't wait too long. The famous warriors who follow us to fight the world are all experienced in wars. There is no one to replace the younger generation, and we can't wait for their old to be unstoppable.

"Listen to the teachings, aren't we just chatting and having fun?" Qin Yu said, "A glass of turbid wine is happy to meet each other, and many things in ancient and modern times are covered in jokes."

"Yes, yes, we are just chatting." Zhu Yuanzhang said quickly.

"Our four sons have been handed over to you, and I hope that you will teach them well." Zhu Yuanzhang said, thinking about expanding the territory and dominating the future. If he can't do it himself, he can also let the prince Zhu Biao, who was taught by Mr. Qin, inherit his father. Chi.

"If any of them are disobedient and don't study hard, ask your husband to beat us hard. It's best to beat them until they can't get out of bed for a few days, so that they can firmly remember the lesson."

"Uncle Huang, what's the age, still doing corporal punishment?" Qin Yu said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't corporally punish any student. Even cold violence is prohibited."

"Anyway, Mr. Qin please teach them well." Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and said coldly to the four princes, "If any of you dare to disobey Mr., our family law is not vegetarian."
