Chapter 627: Master Hu's Explosive News that Shakes the Country

To be honest, after Hu Weiyong heard Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation, he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Because, at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang actually made him feel particularly recognized.

In the past, Mr. Hu Weiyong could stand on the shore and point fingers at Zhu Yuanzhang because of his vision and insight into history.

What old farmer's family, so he messed around;
What is the reason for making random arrangements out of hatred for bureaucrats and businessmen?
What is the murderous nature so strong that it doesn't matter whether the system is reasonable or not...

It can be said that as an emperor, there are too many things about Zhu Yuanzhang that are worthy of Mr. Hu's complaints.

But there is one thing that Master Hu must admit at this moment.

That is, as the person who made the Zhu family truly rise and take off, Zhu Yuanzhang really hoped that he, the ancestor, could solve all the difficulties for future generations.

Even though...many of his actions backfired in the end because of his lack of knowledge.

But Master Hu would neither question his determination nor his heart.

As an elder, he definitely fulfilled his responsibilities and did his best.

Master Hu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang deeply, and then fell silent.

He is hesitating!

I hesitated whether to bring this up.

Because as Zhu Yuanzhang himself said just now, there are too many things involved here.

This is not just a matter of training some craftsmen to imitate some cannons.

If you don't establish a system for training, promoting and researching and developing craftsmen, then in the future, will Mr. Hu be the one to do the research and development of firearms himself?
Okay, we have firearms.

Does that mean the military system needs to be changed?
Otherwise, how could this kind of firearms unit, this kind of professional unit that relies heavily on logistics and places special emphasis on training quality, be maintained by the current garrison system?

Okay, let’s not talk about the garrisons and military system for now, what about the navy?

Professional ship research and development, warship research and development, and manufacturing, how big a deal is this?
Then when these things are combined together, they will inevitably give rise to a problem.

Not enough money!
Or to be more precise, the fiscal revenue is insufficient.

Then, there must be tax reform.

The tax exemption foundation of the entire aristocratic family must be broken.

It is necessary to integrate the tax payment of gentry, distribute the tax rate according to the amount of land, and reform the commercial tax.

Just with such a simple calculation, Mr. Hu felt his scalp tingling.

How big of a mess has this gotten into?
How many interest groups are being targeted by this?
Not to mention the traditional landlords and gentry, let’s just talk about the reform of the military system and the reform of the craftsman system.

This is actually a challenge to traditional concepts that have existed for thousands of years.

Especially in the Song Dynasty, the traditional concepts of using civil officials to control military power and craftsmen being the lowest class have long been deeply rooted in people's minds.

All of this suddenly had to be overturned and a new system established...

Haha, let alone Master Hu, even if Zhu Yuanzhang and his father wanted to do it themselves, they would probably be worried that war would break out one day.

So, do you really want to continue?
Master Hu is hesitating!
Even though the food had arrived, Master Hu, who picked up his bowl and chopsticks again after half an hour, fell into deep thought again.

But... when he just picked up the bowl and Zhu Yuanzhang picked up a chopstick full of meat for him, Master Hu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang smiling opposite him, was stunned, and then said meaningfully.

"Well, Chongba, I'll discuss this matter with you two in detail later!"

"You two have good intentions, and I do have a solution!"

"But you two must be prepared to face the wrath of the world!"

"But, I also promise that I'm not trying to trick you two, and once this is done, the Ming Dynasty will prosper for at least a hundred years!"

"Well, let's eat first!"

That’s right, Mr. Hu has made up his mind, or rather, he has let it go.

He is just a scoundrel and a loser anyway, so why not just be a quiet and insignificant person?
Considering Zhu Yuanzhang's love for me, I can't just sit there and do nothing.

That... is easy!
Just bring up everything that should be brought up!
Even more so, they had to explain everything in detail. But how to do it in the future and how to execute these arrangements was up to them to figure out.

Master Hu just figured it out.

It is one thing to make suggestions, but even if it is best to do what you say, it is also the best.

But after all, this country is not ours.

I am just an old salted fish who lives on the Ming Dynasty.

The ones who are really anxious are the father and son of the Zhu family who are in charge of the opposite side.

They are the real masters.

Let them figure out whether it is suitable and whether they want to do it.

Why are you just standing there worrying about it?

It sounds as if once you say you want to do something, you really need to do everything as you planned.

After all, it is not yet his turn to be the leader of the Ming Dynasty.

So, Master Hu, lie down with honor.

But Master Hu was lying down, and it was the turn of the father and son of the Zhu family across the street to have trouble eating and sleeping.

The key point is that what Mr. Hu said just now was too scary.

My God, how big a trap must the emperor and the prince have to face for them to face a situation where war is raging everywhere and the whole country is in rebellion.

It's impossible for them to rebel first, right?

But Master Hu had finally calmed down his emotions, so he had no time to counsel the two of them.

It's just right, since you two made me come back here with so much trouble and fatigue.

That's fine, you guys should also try this feeling of being on tenterhooks.

Otherwise, I, sir, will be unhappy.

So in the following time, Master Hu ate to his heart's content.

The food he had eaten in Jinshen Hall before was tasteless and tasted like chewing wax. He just took two bites and passed it on.

Forget about the question of whether he was full or not. In Mr. Hu's opinion, not only did he not eat even two bites, he didn't even know what he had eaten.

Now it’s better. I finally have the mood to eat.

The chef in the kitchen of the East Palace also came from the Hu Mansion, so he naturally remembered his master's taste.

Therefore, the food prepared is really not too appetizing.

Grandpa Hu ate with such relish.

Two bites of food, one bite of rice, two more bites of food, and one more sip of soup...

It can be said that this meal for Uncle Hu finally made up for some of the loss he incurred on the journey.

But he was comfortable, while Mr. and Mrs. Zhu across the street were worried.

To be precise, it is entanglement.

Since Mr. Hu said there is a way, then there is definitely a way.

But he had clearly stated that this method would have a huge impact, so they became more aware of it.

This is most likely going to "shake the foundation of the country"!

Otherwise, it wouldn't be that serious at all.

But he didn't say a word until Mr. Hu finished his meal.

After they put down their bowls and chopsticks, Master Hu looked at the father and son with a smile.

"How about we change the official system first?"
