Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 576 How to treat the feudal king?

Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was extremely cold.

After Zhu Xuan raised this question, he didn't know what to say and couldn't refute it. He thought everything Zhu Xuan said was right.

Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking hard, how could this matter be solved? Is there any way to solve it?

"wrong!"

Thinking about what Zhu Yuanzhang thought of at the end, he added: "Didn't my dear grandson always say that now that there is high-yield grain, the scale of people's farming can be reduced, and a small number of people can cultivate it to feed the majority of the people. In fact, the people , and they don’t necessarily need too much land. They can do business, be craftsmen, and even go to sea..."

In his heart, the descendants of the Zhu family are still the most important thing.

I still don't want the future descendants of the Zhu family to be busy making a living, and just enjoy the country that my ancestor has built.

Drive out the Tartars and restore the Han people's rivers and mountains.

Zhu Yuanzhang believed that this contribution was enough to protect his descendants of the Zhu family without being bullied or suffering from hunger.

Zhu Xuan said: "Grandpa Huang thinks things are too simple. Ordinary people can do business. Don't we, the descendants of the Zhu family, see the benefits of doing business? If they do business and enter other industries, they can take advantage of their privileges. Crowding out other merchants, or ordinary merchants.”

In today's Ming Dynasty, capitalism not only sprouted, but also grew vigorously under Zhu Xuan's control.

The current capital is not too bloody, but Zhu Xuan has better control and has not allowed it to expand wildly. It will not be like the situation in the West for the time being.

But when Zhu Xuan is here, he can control it according to his own cognition.

In the future, when he is gone, he may be allowed to grow.

It can be crazy.

Of course he hopes that those who come after him can control it, but he must prepare for the worst.

However, if this thing doesn’t sprout and develop, it won’t work.

If the Ming Dynasty did not develop, and the West would develop, it would fall behind.

If we cross this stage and directly develop the kind of system that will exist hundreds of years later, it would be too big a step. Zhu Xuan does not have the ability to do so.

I don't have the courage either.

However, Zhu Xuan decided to wait until he became emperor and try his best to leave various means and methods of control to those who came after him.

Try to control the savage growth speed as much as possible.

I pray that there will be a capable person in the future who can change everything according to the current situation of Ming Dynasty.

"The imperial court was so kind to them, but they still want to do business, compete with the people for profits, and squeeze out the people?" Zhu Yuanzhang's ideas were very limited to the times.

Supported by the imperial court, the vassal king only had to protect his family and country and support the emperor sitting in the capital.

The feudal king does not need to be busy for his livelihood, so why should he compete with the people for profit?

Zhu Xuan explained: "Grandpa Huang, people's greed is endless! For example, Grandpa Huang's tax revenue from the national treasury has long exceeded one hundred thousand taels, but Grandpa Huang will definitely pursue more, such as five One hundred thousand taels, or even one million taels, right?”

Zhu Yuanzhang did not deny this.

This really shows people's greed. Although they are greedy for the sake of the world, they are indeed greedy.

This is true for me, and even more so for others.

Under the limitations of the times, many of the decisions Zhu Yuanzhang made actually had loopholes. Only then did he realize that the template for governing the country he had formulated for future descendants might not be applicable to future descendants.

Such a fixed template is the most rigid and useless. The governance of the country cannot be static.

"Who taught my dear grandson to say these words?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Xuan explained: "It's all the grandson who came up with his own random thoughts. The grandson thinks there is something wrong. In fact, he has been thinking about it for a long time. Only now did he dare to tell Grandpa Huang that such an idea is very rebellious."

Zhu Yuanzhang was not surprised to hear that it was Zhu Xuan's idea. Guaishun always has some very special ideas and insights. He realized this when Zhu Xuan was still a few years old.

This is what he was born to be like, to be an emperor.

"What would you do if your dear grandson reached our position?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was looking forward to the future changes of his good grandson.

Should we try to find ways to improve the status quo of enfeoffment, or should we be cruel to those imperial uncles, reduce their vassal status, reduce their military power, let them be self-reliant, and not be allowed to use royal privileges, etc.

Zhu Xuan had two ideas. One was the favor order of the Han Dynasty.

The order of favors developed into the Eastern Han Dynasty, and Emperor Liu's uncle Liu Bei was reduced to weaving mats and selling shoes. It is said that all the people in Liu Bei's village may be relatives of the Han Dynasty, but Liu Bei is more prominent and can leave his name in history.

The second idea is to expand.

Zhu Xuan did not dare to say anything after pushing the favor order, so he expressed his second thought and said: "My grandson wants to lead the Ming Dynasty to expand. This is not a militancy, but a means. For example, in the land of Goryeo, many princes can be enfeoffed. When the emperors and grandsons go over, they can also farm in those places. In fact, potatoes can be grown in Liaodong. We can also encourage the princes and grandsons to actively expand externally and win back the land from outside. Once it is conquered, it will be theirs."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "In this way, your imperial uncles will have strong soldiers and horses, just like the vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty."

"Even if this is true, the world will still be dominated by the Han people, and the dynasty will still be surnamed Zhu. It is still much better than foreigners coming in to call the shots."

Zhu Xuan's words made Zhu Yuanzhang silent again.

This sounds right.

Guaisun's thoughts are really jumping around.

He could think of many things that he had never thought of before.

He can even consider the future of Ming Dynasty, which is much better than his template for governing the country.

"My grandson just said it randomly based on what he was thinking. In fact, he doesn't know whether it works or not. Some of the contents are outrageous. Please punish me, Grandpa Huang!"

Zhu Xuan finally added another sentence.

Speaking of these things, they are actually Zhu Xuan's most ideal ideas.

But to implement it in the Ming Dynasty, it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. It is extremely difficult. It can also be said to be the content of his fantasy.

No one can predict what will happen in the future.

Neither can Zhu Xuan.

Because the history of the Ming Dynasty has long become disgraceful under his drastic measures.

It is impossible to predict what changes will occur.

"What my dear grandson said is actually correct!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and said, "Let's think about it and see if we can help you change in the last few years."

His ideal was to leave to future generations a country that could be governed perfectly.

I have to bear all the hardships myself, bear all the infamy myself, and let my descendants enjoy the blessings.

"Grandpa Huang is the best grandpa in the world."

Zhu Xuan said softly: "Actually, Grandpa Huang doesn't need to worry about these anymore. If it can really be done, my grandson can do it in the future. Everything that Grandpa Huang can bear, his grandson can do in the future. If he has been under the protection of Grandpa Huang, If he grows up under it, won’t his grandson become a waste in the future?”

"Okay, what my dear grandson said is right, haha..."

Zhu Yuanzhang lovingly stroked Zhu Xuan's head.

The little sweet grandson can have such an idea, and as the emperor's grandfather, he is also very satisfied.

This kid has really grown up!
