Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 35 The position of crown prince is none other than the grandson of the emperor!
Huang Xiongying looked at the old man, and the old man also looked at Huang Xiongying.

He was skinny, but his back was straight. Although his gown was a little old, it was well washed, and his expression was somewhat arrogant.

Is a reader!
Could it be that the old man found a teacher for himself?
The old man is naturally Liu Sanwu.

Liu Sanwu also didn't understand why the emperor brought him to meet a young man.

Could it be said that the policy of reforming the land and returning it to the natives was proposed by this young man?
Just as he was thinking, he saw the young man asking the emperor, "Grandpa, who is this?"

grandfather?

This boy is called the emperor's grandfather!

"Grandpa" directly made Liu Sanwu's pupils dilate.

Before the emperor came, he had already told him not to reveal the identity of the emperor, which made him puzzled. Now a young man is also called the emperor's grandfather?
This made Liu Sanwu feel turbulent.

Who is this boy?How could the emperor who had just lost his crown prince be so caring!

Prince?

The person in front of him is somewhat similar to the prince!
wrong……

How come I seem to have seen this boy somewhere!

Although Liu Sanwu is 70 years old (imaginary age), he has a very good memory and quick thinking, which is related to his long-term reading habit.

Reading can not only broaden people's horizons, but also make people think quickly and make the whole person more temperamental.

Liu Sanwu at this moment is just like Zhu Yuanzhang who first met Huang Xiongying.

Although it feels familiar, I dare not think about it in that direction.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and introduced to Huang Xiongying: "This is Liu Sanwu, a scholar of the Imperial Academy, named Tan Tan Weng."

"This is our eldest grandson, Xiongying!"

boom!
These words were like a thunderbolt, exploding above Liu Sanwu's head.

Grandson!Hero!
picture!
So similar!

No, not like!But it was that child back then!

The grandson of the emperor with the most upright roots and the most obedient name in the Ming Dynasty!
Liu Sanwu was so excited that his hands in his sleeves trembled slightly. He had read a lot about sages, and what he valued most was etiquette, filial piety, respect and order. Now that the emperor grandson is still alive, there will be no question of who should be appointed as the heir apparent.

Because the young man in front of him is the undisputed crown prince!
He should be, and only he can be, the future emperor of the Ming Dynasty!

Liu Sanwu is so rigid.

When Liu Sanwu looked at Huang Xiongying with burning eyes, Huang Xiongying was also full of surprise, and at the same time looked at Liu Sanwu respectfully.

The respect is not because Liu Sanwu is in a high position, but because he can be regarded as a representative of the literati of this era.

Emperor Hongwu was born as a warrior, and he didn't like literati very much.

I especially hate the old-fashioned way of Confucius and Mencius.

But for literati, Zhu Yuanzhang always maintained a respect.

Why?

Because the literati of this era have a strong character!

There is Liu Sanwu who is conscientious, fair and honest, and can be regarded as a model official!
There is a Qiantang that carries the coffin and dies!

There was Fang Xiaoru, known as the seed of a scholar, who was later tortured by Zhu Di for refusing to write an imperial edict for Zhu Di, and exterminated the ten clans!
……

They may be old-fashioned or foolish and loyal, but they are also the most virtuous!

They can't fight on the battlefield, defend their home and country like generals, they don't even have the power to restrain chickens, but...

Sometimes, the barrel of the pen in their hands is harder than the tip of a gun!
Just like Zhou Shuren, a young man who studied medicine in later generations. Once, he was probably ill and couldn’t sleep anyway. He sat up and looked through the history. , studying medicine can't save the people of the country
So he resolutely abandoned medicine and wrote, trying to wake up the stunned Chinese people at that time!

The spirit of China and the culture of China can be passed on and live on because of generations of literati like Liu Sanwu and Zhou Shuren who are as strong as they are.

"Students have seen Master Bachelor!"

Huang Xiongying tidied up his clothes and saluted respectfully.

"Young master, absolutely not!"

Liu Sanwu immediately wanted to reach out to support Huang Xiongying, this is the grandson of the emperor, the future emperor of Ming Dynasty, how can he bear it?How dare you bear it?
Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang blocked Liu Sanwu, shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay."

I saw Huang Xiongying standing upright, clasped his hands together, leaned over and bowed deeply.

Liu Sanwu's eye sockets were moist.

The literati in this era don't value money, but only reputation and respect!

"Okay, good boy!"

Liu Sanwu quickly helped Huang Xiongying up, looked him up and down, his eyes were full of joy.

More than ten years ago, the emperor asked him to go to the university from time to time to teach the prince and grandson. At that time, the grandson Zhu Xiongying was also there, so it can be said that the grandson of the emperor is his student.

Now that I see the student again, I am already a tall and straight boy, how can I not let the teacher feel relieved?

"Go, let's talk in the house!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and took the lead into the house.

Huang Xiongying asked the Guo brothers to make a pot of tea. Now that there are Guo brothers, he doesn't have to do many things himself.

"Grandpa, I didn't expect you to have such a wide network of contacts, and you even invited all the bachelors here!"

Huang Xiongying put down the teacup and said with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled and said, "Didn't you say, your father said, that we are amazing people, why, forgot?"

"Yes, grandpa is amazing!"

Huang Xiongying gave a thumbs up, making Zhu Yuanzhang laugh out loud.

Liu Sanwu was stunned, his eyes were deep and majestic, the decisive emperor was like the grandfather of an ordinary family at this moment.

Huang Xiongying asked: "Grandpa, it's not as simple as just proving that you are great by calling the highly respected scholar here?"

Liu Sanwu almost spit out the tea after taking a sip.

How great is Emperor Hongwu, do you need him to prove it?

"Stinky boy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang cursed with a smile, and said: "We brought Tan Tan Weng here because we told him your strategy against the Southwest chieftain, and he has some problems, and he wants to talk to you."

"exactly."

Liu Sanwu smiled and said, "I hope you will give me some advice!"

"Your Majesty's words are serious!"

Huang Xiongying still respects Liu Sanwu a lot.

Liu Sanwu was very satisfied with this attitude, stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Young master said, it is certainly a good way to cure the root cause of the southwestern chieftain, but now that the southwest rebellion is still pending, if this is the case, it may cause more The chieftain rebelled, so the conversion of the land to the brigade, is it a bit of an empty talk?"

Zhu Yuanzhang on the side nodded.

Liu Sanwu was right. Once the imperial court implements land reform, it is almost equivalent to abolishing chieftains. How can those chieftains be reconciled?
Not to mention a single rebellion, it is possible to jointly launch a larger rebellion!

Huang Xiongying glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang understood immediately, looked at Huang Xiongying's eyes full of encouragement, and said, "Say what comes to mind, we promise, not a single word of what is said in this room today will be spread."

In this era, Huang Xiongying is still quite cautious.

Every era has its own rules, and you can only abide by them before you have the ability to change them.

You come from later generations, it just means that you know more and have more experience than people of this era, but it does not mean that you are more intelligent than people of this era.

On the contrary, in this era without mobile phones, there is not so much messy entertainment, and they have more time to think.

Talking nonsense, or doing something wrong, sometimes you don't know how to die.

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Huang Xiongying said: "The chieftain system has a long history and evolved from the Jiji system in the Tang Dynasty. Why should this system be adopted? It is because of the internal political, economic and cultural development of the frontier. Compared with the Central Plains, it is far behind, so it cannot be governed in the way of the Central Plains, so it is handed over to the local chieftain to rule."

"To put it bluntly, one country has multiple governances. In summary, the characteristics of chieftains are that they accept imperial seals, inherit heredity from descendants, protect their land from generation to generation, protect their people from generation to generation, guard the territory and obey their orders, require regular tribute and do not enjoy the imperial court. Salary treatment!"

"Under the rule of the chieftain, the land and the people are hereditary owned by the chieftain. The chieftains each form a sphere of influence. Judiciary, finance, administration, and military affairs can all be autonomous. They can take whatever the local people ask for and control all powers of life and death. You can’t ascend the throne and proclaim yourself the emperor, everything else is even compared to the emperor, and you only need to pay a meager tax to the court.”

Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Sanwu nodded again and again.

Zhu Yuanzhang made no secret of the approval in his eyes.

And while Liu Sanwu stroked his long beard, he secretly admired it in his heart.

He didn't expect that the emperor's grandson had such a deep understanding of the chieftain system, especially the word "one country with multiple governance", which was so precise and capable that many people in the court would not be able to say it.

And in a few words, he summed up the characteristics of the chieftain.

Under the fiery gazes of the two, Huang Xiongying continued: "If the imperial court rashly implements reforms to return the land to natives, it will inevitably be resisted by the local chieftains. However, you have overlooked an important point."

Missing an important point?
Zhu Yuanzhang and Liu Sanwu were taken aback when they heard this.

Just listen to Huang Xiongying talking eloquently: "The chieftain and the native people under their rule actually represent two groups."

As he spoke, Huang Xiongying took the tea bowl that Zhu Yuanzhang used to drink tea, put it together with his own tea bowl, pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang's tea bowl and said:
"This is the chieftain. The chieftain has been an official for generations, dominating one side, and some chieftains are arbitrary and lawless, carrying out political oppression and economic plundering of the people in the territory. The chieftains provoke fighting or war for power and profit, causing people to die."

"Under the rule of the chieftain, the life of the local people is far worse than that of the people in the Central Plains. It can even be described as miserable."

"Therefore, the imperial court must send capable officials to promote land reform. On the one hand, it is necessary to adopt a method of both kindness and power to the chieftain. It is the best policy for the chieftain to accept the implementation of the land reform and forceful solution. According to the chieftains, Those who voluntarily hand in the seal will be given different rewards, whether they will be given world positions or current military positions. Those who resist will be punished, their property will be confiscated, and they will be relocated to provinces other than the above six provinces.”

As he spoke, Huang Xiongying pointed to his tea bowl and said:
"As for the natives, there is another set of policies, which is to promote their sinicization. The so-called sinicization means building an education system by setting up government schools, academies, free schools, etc., giving scholarships to minority scholars and preferential quotas for imperial examinations, and paying attention to The sacrificial offerings of the Confucian sages, the prohibition of many religious sacrificial activities and customs of the indigenous people, the promotion of the three cardinal guides and five constant principles of Han culture and the concept of loyalty, filial piety and righteousness, etc.

"There is also preferential treatment for the natives. In the past, the chieftains only paid a small amount of tribute, and collected a large amount of silver from the cruel plundering of the subjects. After the reform of the land return, the method of taxation and labor was changed, and the original chieftain's collection system was abolished. , to implement the same expropriation system as in the Central Plains, so that the exploitation suffered by the natives will be reduced, and their lives will be better, and their lives will be better, and who is doing rebellion all day long when they have nothing to do?"

"In a word, divide and conquer!"

"Extending it further, the imperial court can also temporarily implement preferential policies such as tax cuts and loans for seeds and cattle for the natives. In this way, some people in the Central Plains will be encouraged to immigrate, and the remote mountainous areas with a very low or low level of development will also be affected. Well developed!"

"The implementation of such a policy will not only solve the chieftain problem, but also allow remote areas to develop!"

After Huang Xiongying spoke at length, the whole room became completely quiet.

The look of approval in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes disappeared, replaced by shock.

If he was amazed when he first heard the method of reforming the native land, then he is now in admiration.

It never occurred to him that his great-grandson did not have a flash of inspiration, but formed a set of practical plans after deliberation.

This plan is so mature that even the six ministers may not be able to come up with it.

And the most commendable, and what moved Zhu Yuanzhang the most is...

vision!

With long-term vision and meticulous thinking, he pointed out the key to reforming the land and returning to the people, and proposed the strategy of dividing and conquering, and it was detailed and feasible!

As an emperor who has means and has been in power for more than [-] years, Zhu Yuanzhang knows that for a successful emperor, knowledge is not the most important thing, the most important thing is the means of governing the country and long-term vision!
Take him as an example, he is a pure mud-legged person, is he highly educated?
not tall!

But you say he can't govern the country?

Zhu Yuanzhang has no regrets in his heart and deserves the title of sage!

The prince Zhu Biao is perfect in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, but at this moment, why is the emperor's grandson Zhu Xiongying?
Even the emperor's grandson's calmness and methods won Zhu Yuanzhang's heart more than the former prince Zhu Biao, who was generous and benevolent and often worried.

For example, when dealing with chieftains, Zhu Biao may use softer methods, while Da Sun Xiongying is more ruthless and ruthless.

The master of a country should be calm and resourceful!

There is no need to worry too much, everything is based on the overall situation, and the thorns and thunder methods that dare to obstruct will be eliminated!
Good grandson!
As far as these words are concerned, he dares to guarantee that none of his children and grandchildren can speak out, including Yan Wang Zhu Di!
In addition to being excited, Zhu Yuanzhang was still excited...

And Liu Sanwu looked at Huang Xiongying's gaze completely changed at this time, staring at Huang Xiongying firmly, thin beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

In these words, everything was covered, and he couldn't find any flaws!

Before he came here, he was more optimistic about Zhu Yunqi, but now he has seen Zhu Xiongying, and from these words, he can completely see that Zhu Xiongying, the grandson, is not comparable to Zhu Yunqi and his ilk!
Maybe……

King Yan of the North is still comparable!
However, Zhu Xiongying's status as the grandson of the emperor directly overwhelmed the status of Yan Wang's fourth son.

and so……

The position of crown prince is none other than Zhu Xiongying, the grandson of the emperor!

At this time, the main lord, Huang Xiongying, spoke so much that his saliva was dry, he picked up the tea bowl and took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, then looked at Liu Sanwu who was staring at him motionlessly, and asked:
"Master Bachelor, do you have any other questions?"

Liu Sanwu woke up from his contemplation, and suddenly shouted: "It's amazing! It's really amazing! Dian...Young master is really a great talent!"

Saying so, Liu Sanwu stood up, straightened his clothes, clasped hands at Huang Xiongying, bowed and bowed down:

"Young master, Sanwu has been taught!"

Huang Xiongying was taken aback for a moment, she didn't expect Liu Sanwu to come out like this, so she quickly stood up and helped Liu Sanwu:

"No way, how can a student afford such a great gift from a bachelor!"

Liu Sanwu stood up straight, and solemnly said: "The ancients said that there are no young or old in learning, and those who are masters are the first. The young master's words made Sanwu feel enlightened and benefited a lot. At this time, Sanwu is the young master's student, and the young master can bear it." !"

Zhu Yuanzhang on the side looked at Liu Sanwu and nodded slightly with satisfaction...
