The Resurrection of the South Seas of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 859 Land Conflict and Pressure Relief Valve
Seeing the confused look on his son's face, Zhu Hongyu spoke.

"You can understand."

"It doesn't matter if you can't do well now, Father can still help you."

"As long as you are constantly learning and improving, sooner or later you can become familiar with the changes in the court."

"When the time comes, it will be the day when you inherit the throne."

When Zhu Caikun heard this, he bowed down with a face full of fear.

"My son doesn't dare!"

"Father is in good health. He will live a long life and rule the world. How dare the sons overstep?"

Zhu Hongyu was not annoyed when he heard this, he just laughed.

"It is said to be my emperor's long live, but how can it really be long live?"

"Everyone is mortal, it is nothing more than a matter of time, this is the way of heaven, this is the rule, and it cannot be changed."

"Since ancient times, there have been too many people who can't see this clearly, and how many troubles have been caused by their pointless pursuit of immortality?"

"But in this world, who can really live forever?"

"Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Taizong of Tang, these kings who were wise and powerful in their early years, all started to make troubles in their later years."

"Father doesn't want me to do the same!"

"Father is over 40 years old this year. Even though he is in good health, he gradually feels weak. This world will be handed over to you sooner or later."

Hearing this, Zhu Caikun bowed down again.

"Father is wise."

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, and then continued to deal with government affairs.

As if remembering something, Zhu Caikun asked again.

"Father, you are going to entrust the New World, and entrust the honorable clan to the New World. Is it true?"

The last time Zhu Hongyu stated that he wanted to divide the seal, there were many people present, so it was impossible to hide the news.

Zhu Caikun naturally also received the news.

So, he took the initiative to ask.

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly and said.

"Yes."

"The New World is too big, and the imperial court cannot actually control it. It will be almost impossible to actually control the New World across an ocean."

"And the rich natural resources in the New World are something that the imperial court is reluctant to part with."

"So, I thought, why don't you divide it up and send it out."

"Even if the countries in the New World rebel in the future, across the ocean, it is impossible to threaten the mainland of Ming Dynasty. At most, the New World will go out independently."

"And more importantly, in this way, the meat will always rot in the pot."

"I want to turn the New World into a complete Han land."

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Hongyu continued.

"None of the dynasties and dynasties can overcome the hurdle of 300 years."

"In the former Han Dynasty, Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty, and in the later Han Dynasty, there was the Yellow Turban Rebellion, so the world was stable for more than 200 years."

"And in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, it was nothing more than 200 years of Jiangshan Sheji."

"Afterwards is the Song Dynasty. The Northern Song Dynasty had the shame of Jingkang, and the Southern Song Dynasty was subjugated under the iron hoof of Meng Yuan."

"Facts have proved that no dynasty can overcome the hurdle of 300 years."

"Even my great Ming is like this. Counting from the founding of the country by the great grandfather to the outbreak of the Jiashen disaster and the fall of the world, it has only been 270 or six years."

"Although today's Da Ming is restoring the country for his father, the current Da Ming is not the same thing as the previous Da Ming at all."

"Do you know why this happens?"

Although the 300-year dynasty cycle law belongs to street stall literature.

But this periodic law is quite precise.

History has proved time and time again that no feudal dynasty can survive the hurdle of 300 years.

Unless it is to re-establish the country.

Zhu Caikun fell into deep thought when he heard the words.

Obviously, Zhu Hongyu's question was beyond the outline, and his teachers would not tell the crown prince about such a question.

Zhu Hongyu smiled slightly and continued to speak.

"To put it bluntly, it boils down to four words, the land issue."

"In the early years of the founding of all dynasties, without exception, the land was sparsely populated, there was almost no land annexation, and social conflicts were cleared."

"The common people have a lot of land per capita, and they can support themselves and their families by planting any kind of land."

"What's this called? This is called Dynasty prosperity!"

"The situation in Daming is the same now. Decades of wars have severely damaged the population, a large amount of land has been abandoned, and the amount of land per capita is very high."

"Coupled with the development of industry and commerce, it has attracted a lot of external resources and provided a lot of jobs."

"It also greatly alleviated social conflicts, so the current Ming Dynasty is a prosperous age."

"Even if I don't do anything, Daming's prosperity can last for decades."

"And when the prosperous age develops and the population breeds, it will come to the middle of the dynasty."

"The dynasty at this time has actually shown great disadvantages, such as land annexation, widening gap between rich and poor, and backlog of social conflicts."

"The interior of the country is like an oil barrel that is about to be full and is still being filled with oil."

"As long as there is a little spark, it will explode!"

"At this time, if there is a capable minister who stands up to carry out reforms and continue the life of the dynasty, then the dynasty will be able to persist for a period of time without collapsing."

"But if not, the change of dynasty will come soon."

When Zhu Caikun heard this, the expression on his face froze.

The words "Zhang Juzheng's reform" appeared in his mind.

Zhu Hongyu continued.

"But even if there are reforms by capable ministers, they can only continue the life of the dynasty, but cannot change the general situation."

"The status quo of land annexation cannot be changed, and a dynasty will continue to collapse."

"And the reason why the world is in chaos is that land annexation is the most fundamental reason."

"A large number of the most basic means of production are concentrated in the hands of a few people, and most people are completely reduced to tenants who are not full of food."

"And the tax policy of the imperial court has too many benefits for those big households who own the land, and a large amount of taxation is transferred to the heads of ordinary people, so that the situation of land annexation is exacerbated."

"The people who lost their land either became tenants or refugees without food and clothing. The backlog of social conflicts has reached a terrifying level."

"As long as there are more natural disasters, or if someone raises their arms, there will be flames everywhere..."

Hearing this, Zhu Caikun asked with hesitation on his face.

"Father, is there no solution to land annexation?"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly.

"No, at least, Father doesn't have one, and even if he did, he wouldn't be able to do it."

It is very simple to solve the land annexation, that is to nationalize all the land and then distribute it equally.

Eliminate the landlord class fundamentally!

However, it is impossible for Daming to do such a thing now.

Because, the current ruling class of Ming Dynasty, the army that Zhu Hongyu relies on to maintain the imperial power, is all the landlord class.

If Zhu Hongyu engages in the operation of nationalizing the land, it will be no different from self-defeating.

At that time, I am afraid that Daming will not be as simple as chaos in the world.

"Of course, although it can't be completely solved, there are still ways to alleviate it."

Zhu Caikun suddenly realized and said.

"New World!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded.

"That's right!"

"The New World has a vast territory, rich resources, and fertile land."

"If we can win the New World and fully develop it, I dare not say too much, but it is still possible to protect my Ming Dynasty for 500 years without any worries."

"To put it bluntly, the New World is a pressure relief valve for the future Ming Dynasty."

"It is possible to immigrate a large number of refugees who have no land and little land, so as to alleviate social conflicts in the local Ming Dynasty."

"Fix the social contradictions in the local Ming Dynasty on a more balanced red line."

"Make sure to leave a way for those people who can't survive, and leave a way to survive other than rebellion."

"To put it bluntly, it means emigrating abroad!"

"My son, do you understand what the emperor means?"

Hearing this, Zhu Caikun thought deeply again.

He had to admit that what Zhu Hongyu told him today was something he had never thought of before.

"Father is wise!"

Zhu Hongyu nodded slightly, and continued.

"In the future, while you are dealing with government affairs, you should also read more books."

"But you can't read dead books, but learn to see the essence through phenomena and figure out the essence of things."

"That's the point!"

"Okay, you step down, and continue to report to the cabinet tomorrow."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Hongyu signaled to Zhu Caikun that he could step down.

And he went to the harem.

It is worth mentioning that some time ago, the ambassador of the Ottoman Empire sent him three triplets of Persian cats as a gift for his [-]th birthday.

Zhu Hongyu didn't refuse, and accepted it directly.

Osman is located in the Middle East, and most of them are of mixed race, so there are many beauties.

Those three Persian cats are all outstanding in appearance, and the addition of triplets is a big plus.

Therefore, Zhu Hongyu has been a little bit reluctant to think about it recently.

After all, those are triplets, more exciting than twins.

Who can resist the temptation of triplets?

……

Japan, Edo.

Tokugawa Jiaqing ordered the convening of many high-level shogunate officials, and prepared to discuss sending troops to recapture Shimonoseki.

Tokugawa Jiaqing realized that if he wanted to rectify the internal affairs, he would return the power to the shogunate.

Then the first thing to do is to regain Shimonoseki and pull out the nail that Manqing inserted on Honshu Island.

After ensuring the safety of Honshu Island, he can start to attack those big names, and then carry out reforms and centralization.

"Everyone can come, I am very satisfied!"

"Next, I want to announce a major event that is related to the life and death of my country in Japan."

"First of all, it is about Xiaguan."

"It has been many years since Xiaguan fell, and a large number of Japanese people suffered under the rule of the Qing Dynasty."

"Looking forward to Master Wang's rescue day and night!"

"In this regard, my Tokugawa family, as the ruler of Japan, naturally cannot sit idly by!"

"That's why, I decided to send troops to settle the matter."

"Recover Xiaguan!"

When everyone in the hall heard the words, they all opened their mouths and shouted.

"Send troops to settle the matter, and regain Xiaguan!"

"Send troops to settle the matter, and regain Xiaguan!"

"Send troops to settle the matter, and regain Xiaguan!"

"Long live the Tokugawa clan, long live Japan!"

I don't know who started it first, but the slogan changed quietly.
