Chapter 19
Zhu Heng was speechless for a while:”There are so many rules for something as small as eating! No wonder the pattern can’t be opened.……”
“Isn’t this right?”Zhu Biao was stunned.
“It’s not wrong, it’s just that you can see the restraint of Confucianism from this little thing!”
Zhu Heng seemed to have some of the family’s faults. He pointed at the hot pot and started talking about politics.
“If you think about it, why does Confucianism have historical limitations? It’s because it sets too many restrictions for itself.”
“You are just walking on your own, how can you dare to do anything out of the ordinary? How can you come up with a solution to the dynasty periodic law if you always follow the same old ideas?”
“This is true……”Zhu Biao was stunned after hearing this.
Looking at the hot pot, he nodded thoughtfully:”Brother, these words are really thought-provoking.”
“Confucianism has long penetrated into every aspect of China. How can it be eradicated?……”
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang also sighed a little, put down his chopsticks, and looked at the delicious food in front of him.
Confucianism has long been integrated with the Chinese people.
Even if he was the emperor, he could not get rid of the influence of Confucianism.
If future generations accept this kind of education and grow up, the law of dynastic period will never be solved.……
“There’s no need to be so depressed. Zhu Heng consoled him,”It’s not like there’s no other way.””
Boom.
After saying this,
Zhu Yuanzhang and others suddenly raised their eyes and looked at Zhu Heng with shock on their faces.
Even Zhu Di opened his mouth wide, forgetting to swallow the meat in his mouth, and stuttered:
“Brother, are you kidding me? Is there really a way?
Zhu Yuanzhang was also shocked and said:”Didn’t you tell me earlier?””
“You didn’t even ask. Zhu Heng said inexplicably:”No, why are you always so excited?” Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu Shabu”
“We’ll eat later, so you can talk about it first!”Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Heng with burning eyes. He clenched the chopsticks unconsciously and spoke in a hurry.
Zhu Biao also picked up the chopsticks again and said hurriedly:”Brother, just say, I will rinse the meat for you!”
“Um, okay……”When Zhu Heng saw this, he twitched the corner of his mouth and said simply:
“Land annexation, to put it bluntly, essentially means that people’s land is taken away, resulting in an increase in landless farmers.”
“Along this line of thinking, two solutions emerged.”
“There are actually two? Didn’t you say there was nothing you could do last time?”Zhu Di was shocked
“Stop talking nonsense and eat your food! Zhu Yuanzhang said impatiently.
But Zhu Heng smiled and said:
“I say there is no way because this method goes against both Confucian orthodoxy and the will of the current emperor.”
“We have to convince both of them at the same time. Haha, let’s just go to sleep.”
“You don’t have to worry about this! Zhu
Yuanzhang’s eyes flashed:”You assume that the emperor and the ministers have agreed”
“That’s right, it’s just chatting after all.……”Zhu Biao gave him a piece of beef with chopsticks and said quickly:”Just speak openly.”
Then speak openly.
Zhu Heng also said casually:”It’s still the old saying, see the essence through the phenomenon.”
“The essence of land annexation is still the contradiction between man and land. Then you should open your mind and think about it.……”
Finally, Zhu Heng looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di:”You have not been contaminated by Confucianism. What do you think can be done?”
Zhu Biao was embarrassed for a while. He was literate but became a disadvantage…
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said nothing, subconsciously thinking in his mind. Flashed through many machinations and ways of governing the world.
But Zhu Di said without thinking:”Why don’t you think about it? If you don’t have it, of course you will rob his mother!””
“What do you know? Shut up! Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said:”With swords and soldiers, blood flows like a river, how can you say it lightly!””
Zhu Heng glanced at Zhu Di in surprise:”You are really right!”
“ah? Am I right?”
Zhu Di was pleasantly surprised.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao also looked at Zhu Di with bewildered expressions.
Zhu Heng smiled and said:”That’s the way it is. If you don’t have it yourself, of course you have to steal it from others.”
“No, war concerns the whole world. No matter how big the country is, if it is warlike, it will perish! This is the lesson left by Han Wu!”Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously.
“you are wrong again……”Zhu Heng fished for meat and said casually:”Let’s look at the essence. War is a continuation of politics.”
“Land annexation cannot be resolved politically, so war must be resorted to!”
“Moreover, war is essentially a business. As long as you earn more than you invest, why not go to war?”
“Not just a fight, but a big fight! The more you fight, the more you earn”
“Han Wu was so aggressive in his wars because he was just fighting, but he didn’t calculate the economic accounts well, and he didn’t get enough benefits from the Xiongnu after victory!”
War is the continuation of politics…
Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang looked at each other, and they both saw surprise in each other’s eyes. This simple sentence seemed to explain the way of governing the country.
Simple, yet perfect, simply impeccable!
“So the land gained from the war is our profit? Zhu Yuanzhang couldn’t help but think about it and said:”As long as we continue to obtain land, can we slow down domestic land annexation?”
Zhu Biao suddenly took a breath of cold air:”How many battles will it take to win so much land?” Although there is profit, if you fight too many people will be exhausted”
“You’ve hit the nail on the head! Zhu Heng glanced at him appreciatively and continued:”If we only achieve this step, we can only make no loss or make a small profit.””
