Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1522 Saint's Conspiracy

  Fang Jifan listened to Emperor Hongzhi's evaluation, but he didn't feel ashamed at all.

  Little smart?

  This shows that I am young.

  Fang Jifan grinned, filled a cup for Emperor Hongzhi, and then slowly said: "Your Majesty, these scholars always talk about enlightenment and enlightenment...Actually...have you ever thought that Your Majesty can also educate them in turn?"

  Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback.

  This is a unique idea.

only…

  The difficulty here is much higher.

   You know, how can a group of people who have always educated others be educated by you?

  Emperor Hongzhi was obviously worried about these scholars.

  Emperor Taizu Gao would never have imagined that his stereotyped strategy of selecting scholars would breed countless nerds.

  However, nerds like 'Jiang Wen' are scattered in almost every state capital in the world and control everything.

  No one should underestimate them. They may be nothing in the capital, but if they are in a state, a prefecture, or even a county or a township, they possess enormous energy.

  In the future, the Ming Dynasty’s new government will be implemented, the tax system will be reformed, and even...the new recruitment system will not be able to bypass them.

  The emperor can kill a few scholars, he can punish a few Confucian scholars, but can he punish tens of thousands of scholars?

   To educate them.

   This seems a bit difficult...

  Emperor Hongzhi lowered his eyes and thought about how he should educate such a huge crowd. If one is not good, it will be counterproductive.

  Fang Jifan naturally understood Emperor Hongzhi's worries.

   This is a systematic project, not trivial, and it will be the most important part of the future Ming Dynasty New Deal to the whole world.

  So...Fang Jifan took a deep look at Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty, there is a person who can educate them."

  Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan, and a person appeared in his mind unconsciously, and asked subconsciously.

   "Ouyang Zhi?"

  Fang Jifan shook his head.

   "Although Ouyang Zhi is excellent, he is a bit dull after all." Fang Jifan answered honestly.

  Emperor Hongzhi had an angry look on his face, perhaps because he had been drinking, and all the joy and anger were on his face: "This is old and has a city, unlike you and the prince..."

  Fang Jifan: "..."

  It's so good, why has it become a typical example of the opposite?

   It has not been an hour since this was praised.

  Fang Jifan felt so uncomfortable, hey, can't His Majesty let him be proud for a while! After complaining slightly in his heart, he said to Emperor Hongzhi, "Wang Shouren can."

   This is the only person he can take.

  Tang Yin is talented, but he is unavoidably romantic and not focused enough in his work.

  Ouyang Zhi was too focused, caring about everything, but unfortunately, he didn't respond well enough.

   Liu Wenshan is good at economics.

  Jiang Chen...it seems hopeless. God knows what kind of autumn wind he played in Franz.

  Only Wang Yangming, who is both civil and military, can not only fight, but also use his brain to think, draw inferences from one example, has enough patience, is safe and dignified.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Wang Shouren of the Happiness Group, I heard that he is attacking the west of the Ural Mountains, but so far, there has been no great victory."

  Under the leadership of Wang Shouren, the Happiness Group began to migrate west of the Urals, where they built fortresses to attract refugees to cultivate.

  Although there were many battles, after all, they were only beheading dozens of people, and at most, no more than a hundred people, so it didn't look very good.

  Fang Jifan said: "I thought so too, but in the process of writing letters with him, I found out that he has a superb understanding of the art of war."

  Emperor Hongzhi looked surprised, superb?

"yes?"

Fang Jifan said: "Those who are good at fighting have no great achievements. For Your Majesty, to conquer the territory of the Ross people, there must be a great victory. Only then can a great victory be achieved. But Wang Shouren's thinking is the opposite. He said in the letter In the article, this incident was mentioned, and an example was also cited.”

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "What case?"

  Fang Jifan said: "Annan Kingdom, as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties, was Jiaozhi County, but why, once the dynasty collapsed or fell into a state of fatigue, it repeated itself and became the king in order to defend itself?"

  Emperor Hongzhi was silent.

"The first reason is that the roads are different, and the mountain roads there are rugged. Even if they are designated as counties for a while, they can block the traffic once the Central Plains is chaotic. In addition, it is because there are not enough Han people. A unified idea is not enough to form."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Not bad."

  Fang Jifan pursed his lips and continued.

"But now, the desert outside the pass and the territories of the Ross people are ten times more dangerous than Jiaozhi. The Ural Mountains are even more incomparable with the dense forests and mountains in the south. Even if Wang Shouren defeated the Ross people in one fell swoop and seized a large amount of land, he just didn't know , Your Majesty, do you think you can keep it for a long time?"

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded after listening.

  Cochin is still like this, not to mention that it is far away in the sky.

"I heard that in Franchi, Ottoman, and even Tianzhu, there will always be a powerful empire every few hundred years. They have created the most brilliant record, spanning several states, and ruled the roost for a while. But once they decline, then The country of thousands of miles suddenly became a mess of loose sand and collapsed in an instant, which is very different from the unbiased king's industry that prevailed in my Central Plains."

   "What Wang Boan wants is to establish my Chinese Shuzhong there, not Jiaozhi."

   "The area in central Shu is also rugged, but its sense of identity with the Central Dynasty is by no means inferior to other areas. Therefore, the essence of the problem lies in the hearts of the people."

  Emperor Hongzhi became more startled the more he heard it.

  He never imagined that what the general he sent out was not thinking about the success or failure in front of him, but what would happen thousands of years later.

  This Wang Shouren is getting more and more interesting.

  He said: "How to win people's hearts."

"After the Happiness Group crossed the Ural Mountains, they obtained a lot of land. Although there were many conflicts with the Rus people, Wang Shouren repeatedly wrote letters and letters. On the one hand, it was to deter the Rus people, and on the other hand, he tried his best to avoid a decisive battle. "

   "Afterwards, he led people to cultivate there, and took in refugees everywhere, and recruited many refugees from big Han people. He also established a school to teach them to learn characters."

  Emperor Hongzhi: "..."

Fang Jifan said: "Leaving the Ross people is a wonderful move. After the rise of the Ross people, the tribes that originally lived there felt the disaster of genocide. Therefore, Wang Shouren brought the Happy Group there. As the saying goes, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. Under this common enemy, they are extremely courteous to the Happiness Group, which bought time for Wang Shouren. , teach them some advanced farming methods, bring them cloth from the Ming Dynasty, and exchange business with them. They lived together and made blood alliances with each other..."

  Emperor Hongzhi heard this...he understood it all at once.

   "I see. Now he is waiting for the opportunity. When these people think they are Han Chinese, speak Chinese, and write Chinese, it will be the time to share the same hatred and give the Ross people a fatal blow?"

Fang Jifan said: "That's exactly the case. Now, in the west of the Urals, a large number of farming has begun. Although there is a lot of frozen soil there, my Ming's farming technology is several times better than theirs. With this foundation, the Xingfu Group has always been Farming there, and each ethnic group has been compiled into six surnames, and their own ancestral halls have been established."

   "Six surnames?" Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Fang Jifan and asked seriously, "I don't know which six surnames."

   "Fang, Ouyang, Wang, Tang, Xu, Jiang."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but smile: "There is no Zhu."

   "I dare not."

  Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Go on."

Fang Jifan said again: "There are a lot of unowned land there. With agricultural reclamation, there must be a market. When the market is established, it happens that the caravan of the Xingfu Group can be used to communicate with my Ming Dynasty. Many people in the Ming Dynasty Specialties became indispensable to the local people there. Wang Shouren took this opportunity to establish a school for refugees from the Han Dynasty and people of all ethnic groups to study. What they learned was Confucianism. After learning...or compile these into In the army, if they are transformed into guards, or recruited as officials, or even the best among them, they will be recommended to study in Xishan Academy."

Fang Jifan said again: "The land west of the Urals, apart from the Rus, was originally the tribes left by the descendants of the Mongols who migrated westward in large numbers. In the eyes of the Rus, they are also called Tatars. In addition , there are some other tribes, with the rise of the Ross people, they are scattered, and there is no way to stop the Ross people, and the emergence of the happiness group not only gives them a backbone, but also allows them to live and work in peace and contentment from day to night. , in their eyes, His Majesty is the Khan who bears the destiny of heaven. I heard that there is a portrait of His Majesty on the printed banknotes of the Ming Dynasty. These common people often enshrine the treasured banknotes in their own tents. , thinking that His Majesty in this treasure note can protect their safety."

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help asking: "Is there such a thing?"

  Fang Jifan vowed: "If my minister has false words, I would rather teach Wang Bo'an to die under the knife."

  Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan continued: "My minister also uses the head as a guarantee. If your Majesty does not believe it, you can order the imperial envoy to go there immediately and find out. Now in the west of Ural, the number of people compiled by the Happy Group has exceeded one million. There are tens of millions of land, seven fortifications, countless fortresses and markets, more and more goods brought by caravans, and countless leather goods brought back. Treasure banknotes have become popular there, and schools are everywhere... Many customs and customs are no different from mine in Ming Dynasty."
