Chapter 21 My teachings are not in vain.

[Since Zhu Di in the Ming Dynasty, the emperor guarded the gate of the country, and the king died in the country. This sentence began to be widely circulated. 】

Although there are indeed threats, under sufficient external pressure, the power bursting out from the internal unity of the Ming Dynasty is also terrifying.
-
Ming Dynasty, Yongle 16th year.

Zhu Di looked at the future Ming Dynasty with a face filled with relief. There was no problem with his own method!
But then there was a hint of worry. Although he succeeded in moving the capital, the education of future generations was in big trouble. The Ming Dynasty didn't even have 300 years! ——
Song.

Zhao Kuangyin has not recovered yet. He thinks that although there are difficulties along the way, he can eventually overcome them. But just when you are about to give it a try, someone suddenly tells you that your outcome is failure and you can't do it. What's worse than being spoiled is having a bad ending.

The Song Dynasty, which he worked hard for all his life, only had one negative example of wanting to become like the Song Dynasty among the miracles.

The Song Dynasty army he personally led captured Jinghu, Houshu, Southern Han, etc. for him, opening up territory and expanding territory for him, how could there be any problems?
Only the generals in the army have also been weakened. He released his military power over a cup of wine, but he placed all the best imperial guards around him, and they are all in his own hands. Even if the place is large, it will not be so big.

Finally, is the issue of general factions?Those people back then might indeed be resentful of him, but what could they become?
And their ability is worthy of recognition. In any case, the army will not be so bad that it will be surrounded and suppressed by the local area!

Then it can only be the emperor's problem. He turned to look at his two sons, with a scary smile on his face, and his hand had already grasped the stick next to him.
-
Tang Dynasty, the third year of Zhenguan.

Previously, they had never understood why the emperor would be in a situation where no one could help him. Now it seemed that there was a rebellion in the vassal town. But just when they were discussing how to avoid it, they heard news that made people's eyes darken.

"The country, the capital of the country is in six states?" Li Shimin felt dizzy and could hardly breathe.

Changsun Wuji, who was on the side, was so frightened that he quickly supported him: "Your Majesty, relax, this must be a special situation. Calm down, calm down!"

Someone had already started to call the imperial doctor. As the imperial doctor arrived, he massaged Li Shimin for a while before he gradually came back to his senses. However, he couldn't help but feel sad: "I, the descendants of the Tang Dynasty, ended up like this! That was the capital of the country. I lost it six times, a whole six times, how can I, the Tang Dynasty, have any dignity!"

He let out a long breath: "If the emperor is like this, what kind of chaos and strife will the people of the Tang Dynasty face in the future!"

Only Li Shimin's voice echoed emptyly in the court. They all knew that the threat from the vassal territory was not small, but who could have thought that in the end, even the country would be gone!
With the fall of the capital, the emperor had no choice but to flee. This had a huge impact on the prestige of the imperial court, and it also proved that the imperial court at that time had completely lost control of the local area!

How is this different from that of Emperor Zhou?In name, he unified the world, but in fact, which princes and kings listened to him?
What's more, the war continues, the central government falls, and the emperor flees. What should the local government do, and where will the people go?

Is the Tang Dynasty still the Tang Dynasty, or is it still the country of his Li family?
Li Shimin's heart has been occupied by haze, and under the haze is endless anger! "It was that unfilial descendant who brought the Tang Dynasty into this situation!"

[Since ancient times, the south has always been an economically developed area due to its geographical advantage, while the north is mostly inaccessible, and its economic development is obviously more than that of the south. 】

[With the huge economic gap, the division between the north and the south has further deepened, and Zhu Di moved the capital to the north, which in disguise promoted the economic center to move northward, radiating the country's power to more remote areas]

[The economy began to circulate in both the north and the south of the country, and exchanges between what was needed and what was needed were deepened, which greatly improved the national power of the Ming Dynasty. 】【Beijing's unique location determines that it requires a large amount of materials from the south, which are all transported by water. This also drives the development of coastal towns and further promotes the economic recovery of the north. 】

Ming Dynasty, Hongwu 13th year.

Seeing the Ming Dynasty flourishing under Zhu Di, the gloomy atmosphere in the hall improved a little.

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke first: "Lao Si did a good job in this matter. He did not blindly listen to my words and move south. He thought twice before acting. He did not waste my teachings."

The early years of the Han Dynasty.

Liu Bang looked at the prosperity of Jiangnan in the miracle and his eyes were full of light: "My father is still so poor!"

He also knew that he was just complaining
He rose to prominence at the end of his life, the world has been in war for a long time, and the people have been miserable. Like the Ming Dynasty, they began to consider the issue of local development balance.

After all, the big man has just got on the right track, and everything is waiting to be done. What he lacks most right now is actually time! ——
Han Dynasty, the first year of Yuan Shuo.

Liu Che was fixated on water transportation. He was about to start the Northern Expedition to the Huns, but the economy was still weak after all. It would be good to have more food, grass and weapons!
Now that we know from miracles that water transportation is harmless, there is no reason not to give it a try!
But the people below are really embarrassed. If the Han Dynasty wants to open water transportation at this time, it must mobilize the strength of the whole country, but what should the army do? What if the local governments don't cooperate?
Seeing that no one spoke for a long time, Liu Che could only turn his eyes to Sang Hongyang, and he did not disappoint Liu Che after a while: "Your Majesty can first open the water conservancy outside the feudal country. When the localities see the benefits, they will ask to join. , but the Northern Expedition will be postponed."

Liu Che nodded with satisfaction. He also knew that this was a big project and could not be completed in one sentence. It was already very good now.

[Although moving the capital to the north has many benefits in the long run, it also has many negative impacts at the moment]

[It is okay to say that problems such as the poor environment and the increased pressure on the border troops are difficult to solve, but the decline of the imperial court's control over the south is difficult to solve. 】

[If we cannot control the South, we cannot collect taxes. Without money, we cannot ensure the combat effectiveness of the army. 】

Ming Dynasty, Hongwu 13th year.

The veins on Zhu Yuanzhang's forehead had already begun to jump: "It turns out that it's not just the scholars in the south who are causing trouble, these landlords and gentry are also helping!"
-
Yongle 16 years.

Zhu Di taught the prince and grandson: "You must understand that the decrease in population does not mean that there are no people in the Ming Dynasty, but that the people have been taken away by the landlords. You must not show mercy to these people who are only for their own selfish interests and have no long-term vision. You can clear?"

The father and son also looked ugly and nodded one after another. Zhu Zhanji even said: "Grandpa, we should write this rule into the ancestral precepts!"
-
Song.

"Is it right to suppress the military generals and support the literati? Will the literati also evade taxes and form cliques for personal gain?" Zhao Kuangyin thought with a headache.
