Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 138 What is a country
Su Jing's words immediately stunned Zhu Biao.

The first thing he thought of was not that Su Jing punished those yamen servants, but that Su Jing's simple adjustment of the business structure would affect the business tax of Lishui County.

For a moment, he seemed to understand why his father resisted business so much.

At the same time, I really understood what Su Jing said at the time, that he would not expand his industry beyond Lishui County.

Because when a giant business organization really emerges, it will have a huge impact on the country.

"What's the matter, Niu Yi, do you think my method is not feasible?"

Su Jing asked Zhu Biao.

Seeing Zhu Biao's stupid expression, Su Jing was about to explain to him how to operate it.

"Master Su, the students believe that the teacher can do it."

Zhu Biao shook his head and said, "It's just that the students are thinking, if a businessman can do such a thing, will it be beneficial or harmful to the country."

Although Su Jing in front of him is a businessman, Zhu Biao is still outspoken.

As soon as Su Jing heard it, he knew that Zhu Biao was worrying about the country and the people again.

He said lightly: "Niu Yi, what are you worried about? Do you think that businessmen can mess up the Ming Dynasty? Do you not have a clear understanding of the essence of the country?"

Zhu Biao was taken aback for a moment, and then asked: "What does Master Su mean by this? What is the essence of a country?"

Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao, raised his hand, clenched it into a fist and said, "How do you think the country is established?"

Zhu Biao replied immediately: "Naturally, it was brought down by the emperor's battle."

"good very good!"

Su Jing continued: "Then, in this battle, the most important thing is naturally the army, right? Only with the army can we have everything after that."

"Ah."

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Students understand that it is because of an invincible army that the Son of Heaven was able to establish Daming!"

Daming's army is notoriously strong.

Whether it is a strong soldier or a famous general, they are all very powerful.

"Then what kind of organization is the army?"

Su Jing asked.

This made Zhu Biao hesitate.

Su Jing didn't wait for Zhu Biao to answer, and said directly: "The army is essentially a violent organization, an organized armed group, the embodiment of all power, and the endorsement of any source of power."

"The power of the Son of Heaven is essentially derived from the strength of the army he controls. There is no problem with that."

Zhu Biao listened carefully, and also thought about the content of Su Jing's words.

Where does the power in the hands of his father Zhu Yuanzhang come from?
Then it can only be the army, there is nothing wrong with that.

"Yes, Master Su."

Zhu Biao nodded.

Su Jing continued: "So, the Son of Heaven holds the army in his hands and establishes a country. The essence of a country is an organ of class rule. It is a tool used by the Son of Heaven as the ruling class to manage the exploited class, that is, the common people."

"No one wants to be exploited by birth. Everyone aspires to be the ruling class, but it is destined that only a small number of people can become the ruling class."

"So from the very beginning, the country was a product of irreconcilable class contradictions. So, do you understand, Niu Yi?"

There are many professional terms in Su Jing's words, but there are also Su Jing's own explanations.

After Zhu Biao seriously understood, he could understand the general idea.

"Master Su means that everyone wants to be the emperor, but there is only one emperor?"

Zhu Biao asked Su Jing.

It has to be said that Zhu Biao, as the prince, understands this aspect very quickly.

Su Jing nodded and said: "It's not a big problem for you to understand this way. Now the question is, do you think that I, as a businessman, am a ruling class?"

"Of course it doesn't count."

Zhu Biao said directly: "Su Division has no army, no source of power, and no ruling class."

Su Jing shrugged and said: "That's it, don't look at me now that I seem to have a lot of money, but in front of real power, it's not worth mentioning at all."

"In the country, I belong to the exploited class. I can't even be counted as a minister. But if the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die."

"What I can do is now the limit."

Su Jing's self-awareness is very clear.

Because of this, he has always limited his business territory to Lishui County.

Because compared to the real power class, his industry is nothing more than leeks.

The merchants of the Ming Dynasty, or the merchants in the feudal society, no matter how rich they were, it would be easy for the ruling class to harvest them.

Monopoly industries that really make money are also controlled by the state.

"Students are taught."

Zhu Biao bowed seriously towards Su Jing.

Su Jing continued: "Niu Yi, I know that your family background is prominent, but you have to be clear that the power in your family actually comes from the emperor."

"It can be said that under the feudal monarchy, the emperor is the concentrator of all power. Whether it is a prince or a courtier, their power is the emperor himself who delegates his own power."

"Since the Son of Heaven can delegate power, he can naturally take it back, so you must be vigilant at all times, and don't mistakenly think that power is yours just because you can use it."

"You can also tell your father that the power delegated by the emperor must be used with caution, otherwise it will not end well."

What Su Jing said was sincere and sincere.

After all, Lao Zhu was very famous in history for massacring heroes. There were 34 founding fathers, and Lao Zhu killed [-] of them.

Looking at all the founding emperors, that is also a very explosive existence.

There is a high probability that Zhu Biao's family background is also at the founding father level.

Now as a reminder, it may be possible to save the lives of the family.

"Students remember!"

Zhu Biao was shocked, and immediately bowed to Su Jing.

He wasn't worried about his own problems. As a prince, he definitely didn't have any such concerns.

But what Su Jing said meant that Zhu Biao had to pay attention to it.

Use the power delegated by the emperor carefully, otherwise the end will not be very good.

What does this mean?
Could it be said that his father Zhu Yuanzhang would wantonly massacre those heroes?
Those are all my uncles or elder brothers.

Should not be!

These heroes were all his father's biggest help in conquering the world.

It can be said that without them, there would be no Daming today.

Zhu Biao was unwilling to believe Su Jing's words.

But Su Jing never lied to him, since the words came out of Su Jing's mouth, it is likely to be true.

Zhu Biao really felt Su Jing's sincere emotion.

"Master Su, the students think that today's emperor is the hero, so what you are worried about is unlikely to happen?"

Zhu Biao finally asked.

This matter concerns his father Zhu Yuanzhang.

He couldn't imagine his father killing the Founding Fathers.

Su Jing responded flatly: "There is nothing impossible. The current emperor is indeed the hero, but don't forget his origin. I can only say that there are some things that have planted disasters from the very beginning."

"In the history books, many things have already been reflected. You have read a lot, so I don't think I need to say more."

Regarding this matter, Su Jing did not say too much.

After all, Lao Zhu's massacre of heroes is a matter of the future, so it must be said with caution.

If you implicated your students because you said too much, it would be against Su Jing's original intention.

"Students know."

Seeing this, Zhu Biao nodded.

He understood that Su Jing didn't want to say any more.

After all, as a commoner, it is disrespectful to talk about the emperor indiscriminately.

Although I am the prince, I don't have to worry about anything, but Su Jing is different.

"Okay, let's go here."

Su Jing stopped the topic.

On the other side, in the Forbidden City.

Kaos is now much more free than when he first came here.

After seeking Zhu Yuanzhang's consent, he came to the Dahon Hall to study with the prince.

For this blond Roman, the curiosity of the princes was immediately aroused.

between classes.

Kaos was surrounded by a group of princes with wide-eyed eyes.

"what's your name?"

"where do you come from?"

"What fun do you guys have?"

"Why is your hair yellow?"

"How did you come to Daming?"

One question after another was asked from the mouths of the princes, and Kaos explained to them patiently without the slightest impatience.

He knew very well that these children in front of him were all the sons of the Ming Emperor, and it would definitely be beneficial and harmless to have a good relationship with them.

But for those teachers who are responsible for teaching the princes, it is a bit uncomfortable.

The attention of all the princes was basically attracted by Kaos.

A living foreigner, a person who looks completely different from them, and all kinds of exotic anecdotes are more interesting to the princes than boring words.

Especially the lectures given by these teachers are all well-mannered.

But Kaos is different. He has shown considerable interest in Chinese culture and studied very seriously.

Only by understanding Chinese culture can he live in Daming better.

At this time, in Fengxian Hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was looking at the letter sent by Zhu Biao.

This is the first time Zhu Biao has sent a letter back since the last disaster relief food corruption case ended.

First of all, the letter must have described Su Jing's attitude, and he readily accepted the compensation given to Su Jing.

"It seems that you, Su Jing, are not as rich as I imagined."

Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself, with a rather smug look on his face.

But he is a dignified son of heaven, and he judges that a businessman is not very rich. As long as he says this, Su Shi has already won.

After that, Zhu Biao described in detail the competition process between Su Jing, Liu Zhaoxiang and Liu's rice line.

Even Su Jing's teachings to Zhu Biao have been recorded in detail.

Old Zhu became more and more fascinated the more he watched it. Even Old Zhu admired Su Shi's methods and confidence in strategizing in this business war.

"That's right, that's a good point. When you have an advantage, you should fight head-on."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but nodded when he saw that Su Jing chose to directly confront Liu's rice line.

He very much agrees with this idea.

On the battlefield, if one side is in the upper hand, then it should be right!
This is king!

"I didn't expect Su Jing to apply the art of war to the mall. No wonder he is so young and can create such a foundation."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

While talking, he thought of his fourth brother, Zhu Di.

At that time, this guy was begging for nothing and wanted to march and fight with Su Jingxue. At that time, Lao Zhu was furious.

Thinking about it now, with Su Jing's performance in this business war, it is more than enough to guide Zhu Di.

"Huh? Just from this situation, Su Jing deduced that there is something wrong with Liu's rice business."

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that the staff of Ping An Rice Bank reported the problem of rice to Su Jing, and when Su Jing immediately noticed the problem, he nodded again.

This thought is really quite clear.

If it was on the battlefield, Su Jing's insight would definitely be able to defeat the enemy.

And when he saw that Su Jing used hidden means to get the ledger of Liu's Rice Bank, Zhu Yuanzhang said:
"He is decisive in dealing with things, and does not stick to small details. He really has the demeanor of a general."

Being able to overwhelm opponents in a kingly way, and at the same time, under certain circumstances, he will not be afraid to do things due to restrictions for some reasons.

Su Jing's performance left a very good impression on Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

As an emperor who conquered the world with his own hands, Lao Zhu actually prefers generals.

Among the Huaixi elders, there are also many generals.

The previous Su Jing gave Old Zhu the impression that he was a smart guy.

After watching Su Jing's complete business battle now, his views have fully changed.

"It seems that when Biao'er ascends to the throne in the future, Su Jing will be the No. 1 choice for assistant."

Zhu Yuanzhang said to himself.

As for how Zhu Biao can take over Daming well in the future, Lao Zhu has already planned in his mind.

One thing has always been a thorn in his heart.

There are many founding fathers of the Ming Dynasty, and most of them are concentrated in the Huaixi Group.

When I was alive, it was not difficult to suppress the Huaixi Group, but when Zhu Biao came to the throne, it would not be so difficult.

Although there is Chang Yuchun, the number one fierce general of the Ming Dynasty, as his father-in-law, Zhu Biao still needs a counselor who is capable of writing and martial arts.

And it can't be a member of the Huaixi Group, otherwise if they unite, it will be easy to evade Zhu Biao.

Zhu Yuanzhang had considered Su Jing before, but Su Jing's talents were mostly in the aspect of governing the world, and he did not show much in military affairs.

It is okay to assist Zhu Biao in governing Daming, but if something goes wrong and you need someone to stand on top, Su Jing may not be easy to use.

however.

After watching this complete business war, Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion has changed.

Perhaps, Su Jing is the best candidate.

If Su Jing knew what Lao Zhu was thinking, he would be very surprised.

Because this means that Lao Zhu once massacred heroes, but now he may let go of this heart because of himself, or in other words, he is more tolerant towards those old people in Huaixi.

In this way, perhaps many of the founding fathers will not have to die.

And the source of all this turned out to be that Su Jing managed a business war, and this business war happened to be seen by Zhu Yuanzhang again.

But in the same way, the more Su Jing's talents are displayed, the more suspicion Lao Zhu will have about Su Jing.

If Su Jing is too powerful, will Zhu Biao be bewitched by Su Jing in the future, or even ostracized?
