Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

Everyone looked at Zhu Di.

In fact, Zhu Di did not allow students who had taught him for several years to engage in politics or the military, but instead engaged in these miscellaneous arts.

They are also very curious.

Isn’t this a pure waste of talent?

Zhu Di smiled: "Father, I hope they can be safe and sound. Besides, the development of my child here also requires someone to delve into the technical aspects. Facts have proved that only technology can improve military and national strength and improve people's lives. If it is the child's If students don't take the lead in studying these things, and they all sharpen their heads to become officials, who would want to do this?"

"They are still young in the past few years. Taking advantage of the time when their energy is at their strongest and their brains are most flexible, we support them to study in these directions, which are regarded as miscellaneous arts by scholars."

"If you have achieved results, I will give them a knighthood based on merit."

"If you really don't have the talent in this area, it won't be too late to become an official by then. At that time, they should be in their twenties, which is the time when a person becomes mature and stable. Anyway, the child is not prepared to take the imperial examination similar to the imperial court. system……"

Zhu Biao was slightly surprised and asked: "Fourth, don't you want to implement the imperial examination system? Then what are you going to do?"

This time everyone was even more surprised.

Zhu Di turned around and looked at the officials.

He could feel that there was another strong and suppressed anger.

Also, these adults all reached their current high positions by taking the imperial examination.

He does not take the imperial examination.

First of all, from an emotional point of view, these adults thought that he had belittled the imperial examination system.

Secondly, they were more worried that Daming would imitate what he was about to say.

But, should he care about their feelings?

snort!

Zhu Di snorted secretly, withdrew his gaze and fell on Zhu Biao, "Brother, in the future, we will set up county schools, government schools, provincial schools, and central Imperial College in Dongpan. We will not only study the Four Books and Five Classics, but also study agriculture, business, and engineering. …”

For the engineering part, there are currently no too detailed divisions.

In short, it is to sort out the construction, smelting, and handicraft techniques of the past dynasties, and compile a syllabus according to the difficulty level.

Gather them all in.

"Students who pass the county school, government school... will not be granted any political preferential treatment. Scholars who pass the government school or above can take part in the selection examination for officials under the rule of Yan Fan. How many officials does Yan Fan need? Officials who serve will be selected regularly under the guidance of the provincial government or the central government.”

In this way, we can avoid creating a bunch of people who enjoy political preferential treatment and eat royal food.

A dynasty lasts two hundred years.

There are dozens or millions of talented people.

These people rely on the political preferential treatment obtained by their status as scholars, and they have seriously misappropriated a country's wealth.

Why did dynasties continue to select talents through imperial examinations or other methods and give them political preferential treatment?

To put it bluntly, it means expanding the ruling class.

Just to maintain rule.

Can it really be maintained?

Throughout history, every dynasty has been defeated by this group of people!

But there’s nothing they can do otherwise!

Some capable people, even if they spend money to support them, must be included within the ruling group.

"Your Majesty, if this happens, where will so many successful scholars and scholars who have mastered knowledge go? Will they have resentment towards Prince Yan Fan?"

Everyone looked back after hearing the sound.

The officials who were hostile to Zhu Di looked at Fang Xiaoru and gritted their teeth with hatred.

This is the best way for Zhu Silang to do it!

His reign is destined not to last long!

Fang Xiaoru, a traitor, actually warned him!

Zhu Di looked at Fang Xiaoru with a smile and said, "Brother Xizhi, are you just learning knowledge to become an official? I can tell you with certainty that in the future, being an official will not be a good way to make a fortune for talented people."

"The rural village cooperatives and employee-shareholding system have been fully established. In this institutional structure, farmers, businessmen, and employees already have a certain political status. With economic development and the improvement of economic status, the political status will inevitably be further strengthened. Officials Do you still imagine that in the past, you got everything you asked for?"

"Aren't you afraid that the farmers or merchants from a village united together or the employees united to beat him to death? A single individual is nothing in the face of power, but when the number of people grows into hundreds or thousands, which official would dare to bully him? , if he causes some trouble, in order to quell public dissatisfaction, the higher-ups will conduct a thorough investigation and throw him out!"

…

Many people watched Zhu Di talk with implicit hostility.

This is why everyone hates and hates Zhu Silang.

If Ming Dynasty copied all his fallacies and heresies, what would it be like to be an official?

“In the future, scholars who do not want to be officials or are not capable of becoming officials can rely on the knowledge they have learned about industry, agriculture, and commerce to set up workshops, engage in commerce, or serve as technical stewards in workshops. With a good status, you can earn more wealth at the same time, and can provide impetus for the development of folk technology, culture, and civilization."

Some really have great reputation among the people.

Made great contributions to the development of science and technology.

The court commended him in the form of a knighthood.

In an instant, you can win overall favor and win the hearts of the people to the side of Yan Fan's rule.

It is much better than the current imperial examination system in the Ming Dynasty, which distributes political preferential treatment indiscriminately.

In fact, there are many people who have passed the exam and achieved fame.

He is just good at taking imperial examinations.

He has not made any contributions and his influence is limited. Why should he be given preferential political treatment?

If a ruling group includes the word preferential treatment or any form of preferential treatment, it means that such resources are extremely few.

The more it spreads, the more it will engulf this political group.

Li Shanchang listened to Zhu Di's story, pondered a little, and asked: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, the margin of power of being an official is limited by the rural village community and the employee stock system. At the same time, the wealth obtained is not as good as engaging in the employee stock system and the local stock system." Village community, if this is the case, really capable people will not participate in power, and if the best people do not participate in power, it is probably not a good thing for the construction of a political power, right?"

Zhu Di nodded with a smile.

I have to say that Li Shanchang is indeed a very capable person.

"There will be such a situation, and this situation will definitely be very serious in the future, but I think it is nothing. First of all, their talents, even if they do not become officials, promote the development of agriculture, industry and commerce among the people, they still promote the progress of the times... "

"Sages such as Confucius and Mencius were not officials, but the thoughts and philosophies they left behind have promoted our Central Plains civilization and have stood at the top of the world for thousands of years. This proves that outstanding people do not necessarily have to have power to advance the times. progress."

"Secondly, I think it is not a good thing for all talents to enter the power system. For example, is it really a good thing for some particularly capable people who pursue wealth to enter the power system?"

"I don't think so. On the contrary, if a regime forms a system in which selfish desires can only be satisfied by pursuing greater power, and putting a group of people with extremely selfish desires into the power system, it will definitely be destructive."

Looking at the treacherous ministers throughout history, they are actually very capable.

You don’t have the ability, but you still want to be a traitor?

dream!

"Instead of doing this, I think it is better to design the system and actively make these talented but selfish people look down on power as much as possible!"

"In the future, if a person is talented and wants to enter the power system, he will either have a name for himself, or he will have a heart to benefit the people, or he will have average abilities and want to find a solid and stable job. In my opinion, History has gone on for thousands of years, and there are some outstanding people who can truly turn the tide and relieve the people from the fire and water, but they are very few. These people, no matter what kind of system it is, they will move forward without regrets even if they die."

Wen Tianxiang, Yu Qian, Hai Rui...

He believed that if these people were under the Yan Fan system, it would be easier for them to realize their ambitions.

"Rather than attracting outstanding talents, I hope that there will be more doers in the power system. There is nothing to be afraid of with average qualifications, as long as you work hard, you will be successful. One person is average, but thousands of average people can do things in a down-to-earth manner. , the wisdom produced by the collision has a greater impact than those outstanding people who seek wealth and enjoyment."

This is not nonsense on his part.

In fact, this is the difference between the people’s view of history and the elite’s view of history.

He firmly believes that workers make history.

In fact, the current civil service system of his Yan Fan is the best proof.

To be honest, Jinzhong and his group are not particularly qualified.

But it is because of these four words of being down-to-earth and willing to work.

Look how much has been done over the years?

The resettlement village is in good order.

He acted as the shopkeeper, and Jinzhong took care of the money bag for him. The elite navy and army were built, and the industrial development of Jilong Island was now in its infancy.

Only through hard work and cooperation to win the trust of the people, and the willingness of farmers, hired workers, and craftsmen to work hard, can we have the foundation that Dongfan has today.

Without the sacrifice of life and death by the soldiers and civilians of Peiping, elites like Yu Qian would not have been able to accomplish such things as turning the tide.

Instead of pursuing talent.

It is better to put the right people in the right positions.

People who can calm down and endure their research, even if they are only third-rate, are better than those who can't settle down all day long and always have to look forward to Shu.

Li Shanchang, Fang Xiaoru and others looked thoughtful.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Okay, let's go see the big pharmacy you built for Chunxiao and the others."

In fact, he also had a lot to talk to the fourth child.

But now is not the time.

The large pharmacy is built in Tuqiao Village, Jilong Island.

Not only is the pharmacy located in Tuqiao Village, Jilong Island.

Even the Department of Agricultural Sciences, which is temporarily under the custody of the Military Intelligence Department, is here.

In a tripartite collaboration, the Department of Agricultural Sciences is researching crops while also helping large pharmacies research artificial cultivation of medicinal materials and how to ensure medicinal properties.

Just entered the village.

Then I met Uncle Eight and others driving a carriage out of the village.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Ma Xiuying cordially asked Uncle Ba and others if they were used to living on Jilong Island.

Uncle Eighth and others had already had the experience of meeting Shengjia many times, so they were not nervous. They smiled and answered that they were used to it. The children were here and the land was fertile. They were farmers and were used to it, so they could take root.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with a smile, pointed to the large urn tied to the carriage of Eighth Uncle and others, and asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

"Your Majesty, we went to the workshop to buy cement and build a small fish pond in the village. We decided to let the young workers in the village learn to sail, and then the village invested in a small boat to catch fish near the sea off Jilong Island. The big ones are returned and made into dried salted fish or pickled fish. The small ones and some worthless ones are kept in fish ponds, fed to chickens, ducks and pigs, and then sold to merchants or Shiro's army. In short, as long as it is meat As for food, we asked about it, and the sales are pretty good."

…

Zhu Biao listened to Uncle Eighth and others, and they spoke clearly and logically.

It makes me even more regretful that I let Uncle Ba and others leave the Ming Dynasty.

On the surface, the people in Tuqiao Village are still a group of farmers.

But in fact, it looks very much like what Lao Si described, a small economy that relies on rural villages and develops to a higher level.

Initially possessing the ability to make self-decisions about business operations!

Look, the cement from the production office of Laosi Workshop has been sold to the outside world for a long time, but according to his observation, the people did not buy it at all.

It’s all the fourth-party political power that is buying and using it.

The people in Tuqiao Village have already begun to take the lead!

During the rest of the past few days, my father followed Lao Si to visit people's homes in Jilongyu Bay.

He didn't go. He took some people along the river valley to visit the resettlement village.

These resettlement villages are still in the guidance stage.

Tuqiao Village has not yet developed this self-decision-making ability.

The entire Ming Dynasty.

Even the Shen family’s Zhouzhuang and the refined rural village communities developed in Fujian are still in the stage of being guided.

This group of common people in Tuqiao Village followed Lao Si around and gained more knowledge.

At the same time, under the guidance of Lao Si early on, he initially mastered the ability to make decisions on his own.

In the whole world, this is the only one!

If he stays in Ming Dynasty, he may be able to play a great role in setting an example!

…

After saying goodbye to Uncle Eighth and others.

Zhu Di took Zhu Yuanzhang to the pharmacy.

Inside the pharmacy.

People who were feeling unwell in the bay were queuing up for consultation. Minfeng and a military doctor were at the clinic to check their pulse.

Stopped briefly in the front hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang noticed that the people waiting for consultation were uneasy and did not want to disturb the normal consultation order, so he asked Zhu Di to take him to the backyard of the pharmacy to have a look.

"Chunxiao, how about helping sister-in-law take a look at how the medicine powder is ground like this?"

"Sister-in-law, it's okay."

…

Before everyone reached the backyard, they heard a group of women chirping.

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned.

When I came to the backyard, I saw a group of women drying medicinal materials and grinding medicinal powder.

Chunxiao was in command.

Ma Xiuying said with a smile: "Fourth, is this a country of girls?"

Zhu Di smiled.

Xu Miaoyun explained for Zhu Di: "Mother, sorting medicinal materials and grinding medicinal powder are all delicate tasks, but they are not very demanding on physical strength. It is just suitable for women to do this. Here, every manpower is very precious... "

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think of what Zhu Di said when he was observing the Xiufang of the local village community at Shen's house.

Women participate in creating wealth…

It turns out that Lao Si has already gone a step further and done this.

Zhu Yuanzhang gathered his thoughts and calmly walked behind Chunxiao, who had his back to them. He watched Chunxiao mix the ground medicine powder while several deft women beside him were carefully packaging it.

"Girl Chunxiao, what kind of medicine is this?"

Chun Xiao heard the sound and turned around.

After seeing Zhu Yuanzhang and his entourage, he immediately smiled and said, "Chun Xiao greets Your Majesty and Your Majesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and pointed at the medicinal powder.

Chunxiao answered with a smile: "Your Majesty, this is the finished medicine of Patchouli powder. When taking it, just take a small spoonful and mix it into warm wine. It can relieve heat and exorcise evil and cold. Let's Dongfan, and the future Lu The Song Dynasty was a place with heavy humidity, heat and miasma. After diagnosing the people during this period, we found that most of the daily illnesses of the people here were caused by the hot and humid weather. The finished medicine of Patchouli powder can solve many diseases. …”

"These girls are sent from various rural communities in Dongpan and trained by us. Most of them with poor qualifications will learn how to use finished medicines and a series of practical skills such as delivering babies, and then return to the village to provide To serve the people in the village, if they have good qualifications, our pharmacy will gradually train them to read and take pulses. At the same time, in the future, our pharmacy will also independently recruit some children who have read books. Minfeng and I heard that the master will build county schools and government schools in the future. We are discussing whether we can add medicine in addition to the Four Books and Five Classics, and the studies of industry, agriculture, and commerce..."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Zhu Di and asked with a smile: "One of your best students has given you some advice. What do you think of this suggestion?"

Zhu Di couldn't help but laugh.

Unexpectedly, the old man would also joke.

Looking at Chunxiao, "This is a good suggestion. You write a plan and submit it to your Uncle Xia first. Regarding the addition of medicine, it will mainly focus on general education. For example, let the children in the county school have a basic understanding of medicinal materials and agricultural courses. Combined, how to artificially grow medicinal materials..."

Chunxiao listened carefully.

"When the children finish attending county school, your large pharmacy can recruit children from the county school who will be promoted to government schools..."

Medicine does not need to be established in prefectural or provincial schools.

First of all, there are not that many doctors to teach.

General education and understanding of medicinal materials. As long as the large pharmacy provides medicinal herb specimens and the teacher is a teacher, he can teach the children according to the textbook.

After the general education is completed, if you want to learn medical skills, you can go directly to the school set up by the big pharmacy and be taught by Chunxiao, Minfeng and experienced doctors in the army.

…

The morning visit ended.

Whether it was Zhu Di's use of political power to help rural communities cultivate doctors, workshops, or the research of the Department of Agricultural Sciences, it all shocked everyone.

Of course, many people also secretly criticized Zhu Di behind his back for not caring about ethics.

Because this group of people listened to a few old academics from the Department of Agricultural Sciences who like to study crops, and several students from Zhu Di, talk about how to hybridize peas.

I think this behavior is unethical.

After lunch.

Zhu Yuanzhang called Zhu Di to the study alone.

new

When Ma Xiuying and Cai Lu walked in with tea.

Zhu Di stood up quickly and said, "Mom, how can you do these things by yourself?"

Ma Xiuying smiled and glared at Zhu Di, "How many times can I make tea for you like this? How many meals can I cook for you?"

Zhu Di smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say, and silently took the teacup.

Say, go back often in the future?

If he really did this, countless people would start thinking wildly again.

Why!

Seeing Zhu Di's silence, Ma Xiuying sighed silently, placed another cup of tea in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and left with Cai Lu.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Di standing in a daze, feeling unhappy. He changed the subject with a smile: "You had a conversation with Li Shanchang and Fang Xiaoru today, and my father was deeply touched..."

Zhu Di came back to his senses, sat down with a tea cup, and listened silently.

…

"We feel that even if dad moves your existing technology back to Dongfan, I'm afraid that in a few years, new technology will be developed here, but the court can't even develop the technology that has been moved back now."

Zhu Di couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Definitely.

Just the old Ming Dynasty’s current elite view of history and the hierarchy of superiority and inferiority.

When the Ming Dynasty moved this technology back, it was highly likely that the Qing Dynasty would develop industry.

It is very likely that you are doing it at a loss, and the more you do it, the bigger the loss will be.

But doing it is better than not doing it!

It was the ruling class of the Manchu Qing Dynasty that saved the nation from extinction, engaged in industrialization, and cultivated a number of skilled people.

The trend cannot be reversed all at once.

But talents can be reserved and cultivated in advance.

If corruption can be controlled, the situation of increasing losses should not occur.

"Father, if you don't make up your mind to change the current situation of the imperial court, and copy all the techniques I have here, it will be difficult to develop. However, if you can control the problem of corruption, you should not let the imperial court repay money. , to fill the bottomless pit, we can cultivate a group of technical talents in advance, and when the trend gradually changes, the foundation cultivated can promote rapid development in the future.”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, but he was unwilling to do so and asked: "If we abolish the restrictions on craftsmen and improve the status of craftsmen, will there be any changes?"

Zhu Di was shocked!

‘Father watched it for a while, and it seemed that he was greatly stimulated! ’

Zhu Di thought about it for a while and then he understood. He thought about it for a moment, shook his head and said: "Father, you know my child, my child always likes to do things naturally, and he is very wary of this kind of stormy governance method. All the officials also observed it, Once my father improves the status of craftsmen, everyone will understand that my father intends to copy Dongfan in all aspects from technology to deep-seated openness and tolerance, but this is exactly what they hate."

In this way, the reaction of this group of people must be very violent.

"The violent reaction of this group of people will lead to, Father, your order to improve the status of craftsmen, and they will treat the craftsmen more aggressively and cruelly during the execution."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly and clenched his hands on the table.

This is really possible.

Throughout the dynasties and dynasties, how many good scriptures have been deliberately misread by those below?

"Furthermore, if the overall atmosphere does not change, even if the craftsmen are promoted, and even if the father completely appoints the craftsmen to manage the workshop, it will not help. These promoted craftsmen will soon learn the high-handed manner of officials and become a A true bureaucrat."

"Although Dongfan is a group of immigrants from the Central Plains, the reason why this kind of bureaucracy is not serious is mainly due to the rural village community and the employee-share system. The system has improved the status of all people and created economic value. It also makes every citizen full of confidence in reaping the fruits. If everyone is confident, open and tolerant, they can suppress bureaucrats and those in power will not dare to abuse official power at will."

Do officials dare to abuse their authority against the gentry?

Rural village cooperatives and the employee-shareholding system actually allow ordinary people to be connected through economic ties and have influence similar to that of the gentry in disguise.

In this case, the common people that officials face are to a large extent not just one common person, but a group of common people!

This group of common people drives carriages every year to deliver grain and taxes to the government and help officials complete tax collection tasks!

Zhu Yuanzhang understood and bowed his head in disappointment.

Now it seems that the only way to control corruption in the workshop is to control it first, just as he has cultivated a group of skilled talents over the years.

Waiting for Biao'er and Xiongying to work hard and completely reverse the trend of Ming Dynasty.

…

Zhu Yuanzhang quickly calmed down and looked at Zhu Di seriously, "Fourth brother, your county school, government school...the idea of ​​not giving political preferential treatment to scholars must be carefully considered. In fact, the monarchs of the past dynasties, who doesn't know, all The resources that can be included in the preferential treatment are all scarce resources. If more and more people eat this scarce resource, a dynasty will inevitably be destroyed. But there is no way. If you want to rule, you must expand the group that supports your rule... "

"Father, my child has expanded!" Zhu Di said with a smile: "The rural village community and the employee-share system have expanded the support group to the entire common people. The scarce special treatment resources will only be given and make a huge contribution. , people with very great influence and prestige, by giving these people preferential treatment, the people's hearts will be transferred to our Yanfan regime."

"Just imagine, a person with great influence is highly respected by the court. How will the people evaluate the court established by Haer? In this way, we can avoid the abuse of scarce resources and prevent the scarce resources under the rule of the dynasty from being divided up early."

"If one day, the Yan Fan regime is overthrown, there are only two possibilities. One is that the child's successor behaves recklessly, then it is his own fault and he deserves it!"

"The other is that the people have found another more advanced development path. I think this possibility is very small. The vast majority of the people are mediocre. This people's economy is absolutely useless to most people. The best option is that if the Ming Dynasty does not implement the labor share system, thousands of cities will definitely develop an elite economy that benefits a few in the future. The people of Yanfan can compare and see how the two systems compare. Plant well..."

Zhu Yuanzhang was angry and funny.

This bastard actually planned to use Daming as a negative example.

But if you look into it more deeply, it makes you very powerless!

The Ming Dynasty is indeed very likely to become a negative example for educating the people of Yan Fan!

He did not dare to make up his mind to vigorously promote the employment-share system.

He is already this age.

I am very worried that in the midst of the turbulent chaos of promotion, I will leave a mess to Biao'er.

Besides, he still had a lot to do.

For example, the construction of rural villages and communities has been fully completed, and millions of old troops have been reorganized into new troops!

These two things alone are enough to keep him busy.

"Fourth..." Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly looked at Zhu Di solemnly, with a hint of pleading in his eyes, "When Xiongying wants to make earth-shaking changes, my father hopes that you can help Xiongying."

Biaoer...

He does not think that Biao'er has the courage to comprehensively promote the employee-share system.

Based on his understanding of Biao'er, there is a high probability that Biao'er will secretly support the reformists and expand their base.

The mark is most likely the transition between the old and the new in the Ming Dynasty.

Once Xiongying takes power, he will definitely follow the example of the fourth Yan Fan.

At that time, he hoped that the fourth child could help Xiongying.

No matter how unhappy Lao Si was with Biao'er, Yan Fan and Daming before this, he hoped that after Xiong Ying inherited the throne, he would get strong support from his fourth uncle!

Zhu Di said nothing, but nodded solemnly.

He is almost as heroic as half a son.

He has the same feelings for Xiongying and Yongming.

As for the Ming Dynasty between him and his eldest brother, there will most likely be fierce collisions and frictions.

The eldest brother has a strong Machiavellian mindset and an old-school patriarchal style, which is actually no less than that of his father.

It's just that the eldest brother will not be as rough and simple as his father.

These factors, coupled with officials who clearly hate him, will most likely lead to collision and friction between the two sides.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled happily and consulted: "In the future, millions of lions in the imperial court will complete the new military transformation before my father leaves. If they all follow the large establishment of your army's first town, there will be eighty or ninety Commander, do these people have too much military power?"

…

After Zhu Di understood Zhu Yuanzhang's concerns, he pondered for a moment and suggested: "My father is worried that the Manchu town has too much military power, so we can adopt the mixed-joint formation on the boy's side. The Beijing camp controls fifteen or six Manchu towns, and in other places, use the mixed-joint army." In the Xie model, once it is necessary to concentrate troops, a general is appointed to command two or three or four mixed Xie groups. When war requires, it can be quickly expanded into a large army. In peacetime, senior generals are recalled to the DPRK, and the mixed Xie Xie will command the troops. Stationed place..."

When he organized the Hun Cheng Association, he was not worried that the leading generals would have too much power.

The main reason is that there are too few generals suitable to serve as town commanders.

Tan Yuan counts as one.

Liu Sheng counts as one.

After the conquest of Luzon is over, Liu Sheng Huncheng Association will be expanded into a Manbian town.

"In addition, there are many benefits of mixed associations. They save military expenditures. In many areas, there is actually no need for full-scale town garrisoning. One mixed association can undertake combat tasks. If it is not enough, strengthening one or two battalions will be enough. In wartime , and can be combined into hybrid associations according to the demand for military strength, making it more flexible to use."

"The central force in the capital camp is fully organized to ensure that the internal emphasis is on the outside and the external is light, and the central military authority is ensured at all times."

…

The more Zhu Yuanzhang listened, the more interesting it became. He was extremely happy and asked Zhu Di about it.

This design was very much to his liking.

"Father, once the reorganization of the old army into the new army is completed, I suggest that the father abolish the guard system as soon as possible. At least, the jurisdiction of the power over the guard must be abolished. Otherwise, the chief of the guard will be exploited, and what will happen to the children of the common people in the guard? Can you feel at ease and loyal to the imperial court?"

"We abolished the guard posts and took advantage of the situation to help them establish rural villages. However, the guards still shouldered the responsibility of providing troops for the imperial court, and the imperial court exempted the guard posts from corvee service. After the rural villages were fully established, the Ming Dynasty had a population of 60 million and a vast territory. , is fully capable of feeding millions of lions. If the guard station is corrupted by officials' exploitation, the millions of new troops will be completely corrupted. A group of families will not be able to survive. Soldiers without fighting spirit, even with the best weapons, will not be able to survive. They won’t have much fighting power, and their anger will be vented on the people of other rural villages.”

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was solemn.

Laosi's worries are not without purpose.

When a powerful and ruthless monarch like him reigns, the arrogant soldiers dare not act arrogantly.

What about changing the label?

Yes, these people will be loyal.

But these people definitely dare to use the power in their hands to gain profits by exploiting their subordinates.

"Where are the reserve troops? I'm afraid if we let go of the power to control the garrison, the people of the garrison will not be able to continuously provide troops for the imperial court."

"Father." Zhu Di said with a smile: "There are millions of lions in the imperial court. If this situation fails, the war will definitely burn into the Ming Dynasty. In order to protect their own interests, the people will cooperate with the imperial court."

"During the cooperation between rural and village communities, they have subtly completed a cooperative training for the people. My father has visited Fujian. If there are external forces that want to destroy Fujian's current prosperous and beautiful life, my father thinks how much can be gained by the imperial court's support. Support? Three hundred thousand carriages to provide logistics, and countless people will enthusiastically join the army."

…

Why didn't he go into reserve service?

No need.

Yan Fan went further than Ming Dynasty.

There is not only the employee-share system.

When industry and commerce become extremely prosperous in the future, organizational power will become even greater.

Industrial civilization can completely destroy agricultural civilization, but it is not just the guns and artillery produced by industrial civilization.

There is also the high degree of organizational power that industrial civilization has exerted on everyone!

"Hai'er told my father something interesting. This time, the four mixed associations were trained, and many young people were recruited from various resettlement villages. However, Tan Yuan and the others reported to Hao'er one after another during the training process. The training is easier than the training of the first town and the first mixed association, and the time to form an army is also faster..."

It only took half a year for the four mixed associations to be formed.

It has reached 80% of the level of the army's first town training for more than a year!

Tan Yuan and others reported to him that the quality of young people recruited from rural areas had improved greatly, and they were even easier to train than the Mongolian soldiers recruited.

…

That night.

Xu Miaoyun and Zhu Di soaked their feet with medicinal herbs together.

Jindouzi is one year old.

In order to take care of Zhu Di, Xu Miaoyun irresponsibly handed over Jindouzi to the care of his Aunt Wuyun.

While listening to Zhu Di's talk with Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Miaoyun rubbed Zhu Di's feet with her little feet and said with emotion: "It seems that my father was greatly affected by everything that happened to our Yan clan, so he is so anxious. At the same time, my father is very concerned about you." I’m not optimistic about how I’ll get along with Big Brother in the future, so I didn’t even mention it, asking you to help Big Brother, I just begged you to help Xiongying in the future.”

Zhu Di nodded silently.

Xu Miaoyun looked at Zhu Di, turned slightly sideways, and leaned on Zhu Di's shoulder.

She knew that Shiro felt uncomfortable.

But how the two sides develop in the future is not something Shiro can control alone.

She raised her head slightly, her pretty face flushed, and looked at Zhu Di with a smile, "How about I give you another daughter, or a debt collector? I promised you a litter."

Zhu Di was amused and lowered his head, "I am willing to make you cry. Even if I have a litter of children, I also want you to accompany me to witness the glory of our Yan Fan! Let your mother grace the world. Of course, if you do it one day If you want to be the queen for fun, then you can be the queen, and I will take Yong Ming and Jin Douzi to conquer the world for you..."

Giggle...

Xu Miaoyun was immediately amused, "I don't have the ambitions of Wu Zetian or Empress Lu. I just want to be with you. You are afraid that I will damage my vitality by having children, so let Wu Yun..."

snort!

Before Xu Miaoyun could finish speaking, Zhu Di snorted with a smile, "She still wants to take care of our children. If you don't run away from home tonight, it's all because of my incompetence!"

Don't think that he doesn't know that Miaoyun is just waiting to mention Wuyunqige.

"I was wrong, Shiro... I was wrong... I will review the army tomorrow and set off..."

The cries of a carefree and fun-loving person soon turned into cries.

…

Have a good night's sleep.

The last thing Zhu Yuanzhang did when he arrived in Dongfan was to inspect the town of Zhu Di Yanfan, and five mixed associations began preparations in full swing.

Navy and maritime merchant ships also flocked to Jilong Island.

Prepare for the expedition to Luzon.

at the same time.

The Royal Palace of the Malacca Dynasty.

It is now the palace of the Chen Dynasty.

After Chen Zuyi seized power in Malacca, he did not become king.

But brazenly proclaiming himself emperor!

Among the countries surrounding the Central Plains, only Chen Zuyi dared to do this!

"Meet the prince!"

"Meet the prince!"

…

When Chen Shou passed by, the maids walking in the palace saluted one after another.

Chen Shou had been running around Luzon for several months, and his skin was tanned. At this moment, the sound of "Prince" came to his ears, and his steps couldn't help but feel light.

Unexpectedly, he, a son of a pirate, would be where he is today.

To some extent, I have to thank the fourth prince of Ming Dynasty.

If he hadn't brought a new military trend to the world.

How could the Chen family defeat the Malacca dynasty and seize Malacca with 20,000 new troops?

Chen Shou went straight to the ‘Imperial Study Room’.

As soon as they arrived outside the door, they heard a fierce argument inside.

"I promise you that we will only establish rural village cooperatives and never establish a shareholding system! Rural village cooperatives are our best way to win over ignorant people like Malacca! Moreover, when they rely on rural village cooperatives to create a large amount of output, Their goods are still monopolized by you, don’t you know how huge the benefits are!”

boom!

"Your Majesty, today you promised not to establish a labor share system, but in the future, will Your Majesty or His Majesty's descendants break the contract?"

…

Chen Shou paused, frowning slightly as he listened to the fierce argument inside.

Unexpectedly, the conflict on this matter has become so intense.

After a while, a group of old retainers pushed out the door angrily. When they saw Chen Shou, they just nodded.

Chen Shou couldn't help but clench his fist slightly.

Then walked in.

When Chen Zuyi heard the noise, he raised his head angrily. When he saw Chen Shou, the anger on his face gradually dissipated, "You're back, how are you?"

"The effect is very good. Not only did he help Luzon form a coalition of 190,000 people, but the minister also prepared a trump card for Zhu Silang! Zhu Silang's fire blunderbuss will never be effective against this trump card! Safekeeping can make Zhu Silang's The elite new army is in trouble!"

Chen Zuyi suddenly became interested, "Tell Father, what's your trump card?"
