Chapter 223: Ask Fengxue if you are not sure about foreign affairs, and ask Fengxue if you are not sure about domestic matters

"Yes, that's exactly it."

Zhu Biao said.

"In that case, let's talk about it."

Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of wine and said.

"Since ancient times, food has been the most important thing for people."

"Agricultural development is the foundation of everything."

"From ancient times to the present, as strong as the Han and Tang Dynasties, there has never been a prosperous age based on commerce."

"Throughout the ages, only the attachments of the former Song Dynasty were based on commerce."

"But in the former Song Dynasty, everyone knew everything, but they were weak and could be bullied."

"How can we, the Ming Dynasty, follow the example of the previous Song Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang put down his wine glass and said.

"this…"

Zhu Biao was silent for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

Indeed, throughout the ages, only the Song Dynasty has relied on commerce to prosper.

But Song…

Everyone knows that prosperity is indeed achieved through business, but the money earned from business was compensated to Liao, Jinxia, ​​and this is really shocking.

"Dad, that's wrong."

"Song was indeed weak, but Song's weakness cannot deny its commercial success."

"In other words, if not for Song's commercial success, the entire dynasty would have collapsed."

"Song is indeed not good, but this does not mean that business is not good."

Xiao Han said.

"What the hell is this?"

"Use copper as a mirror to straighten your clothes."

"Using history as a mirror, we can know the ups and downs."

"The examples from the former Song Dynasty are there. Doesn't it prove that it is undesirable to focus on groups like businessmen who only know profit?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked rhetorically.

"I don't think so."

“Song’s failure lay in its external weakness.”

"If the Ming Dynasty remains tough on the outside world, and supplements it with commercial development, and obtains money and food from the foreign dynasties, can't we create a prosperous and prosperous era?"

"It has never been done before, is it possible that our Ming Dynasty can't do it?"

Xiao Han ignored Xu Miaoyun and pulled the corner of his clothes and said.

"Um…"

"It does make some sense, but ideals are ideals and reality is reality. Shouldn't we consider the reality of our country?"

"Our Ming Dynasty has just emerged from the chaos in the world. How can we not do our best to support agriculture?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Quite the opposite."

"Dad, I think it is precisely because our Ming Dynasty got out of the war that we need to absorb the national power of surrounding countries through business."

Xiao Han raised his head and said.

"You are Xiao Fengxue who dominates the world, I can't defeat you."

"But this is true for strong men and prosperous Tang Dynasties. Isn't it worth learning from?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said to Xiao Han.

"If dad you just want to reach the level of Han and Tang Dynasties, then just go this way."

"But does our Ming Dynasty stop at the Han and Tang Dynasties?"

"With the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the wealth of the former Song Dynasty, and the vastness of the Mongolian and Yuan Dynasties, what better start?"

Xiao Han looked directly at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"But...it is good to absorb the power of all countries in this way."

"But once the national power of all countries weakens, won't it be easy for our Ming Dynasty to make castles in the air?"

"Agricultural production is the foundation. Food cannot be created out of thin air."

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while.

"Hahaha!"

"Why are they weakening?"

"We, the Ming Dynasty, certainly sucked it up, but just like Yue and Zhan, we sucked their national power and also helped them with agriculture."

"They keep planting, and we, the Ming Dynasty, keep sucking it up. In this way, it continues to grow. Although it is not the soil of our Ming Dynasty, it can still support the people of our Ming Dynasty."

"so?"

"Is it not good?"

"Or, dad also thinks that it is too rude and disrespectful for us to continue to draw blood from various countries. If so, we will change it back immediately."

The corners of Xiao Han's mouth curled up.

"rude?"

"Does Ming Dynasty talk about trade etiquette?"

"We, Zhu Yuanzhang, are a farmer. We eat what we can, and we can rob their things if we can."

"Fengxue, you are right. Let's understand. Using other people's land to support our people in the Ming Dynasty is indeed unprecedented in the Han and Tang Dynasties."

Zhu Yuanzhang finally nodded, suddenly enlightened.

"Just shut up if you figure it out!"

"I told you a long time ago that Feng Xue is doing fine. You have to be called over for class."

"That's it, Feng Xue has learned a lesson. I'll eat what you have to eat!"

Queen Ma, who had been silent for a long time, snorted.

"Cough cough!"

"Aren't we also afraid that Daming will take a detour?"

"I didn't expect Feng Xue to think more about the overall situation than us."

"Sister, we were wrong. We will definitely not do it next time."

Zhu Yuanzhang coughed twice.

Although he felt a little embarrassed, he had to admit that he could not refute the truth given by Xiao Han at all.

Not to mention that there are problems, there are almost no problems at all.

The only problem is that it's too unfair to those peripheral effects.

But, what does it matter about Zhu Yuanzhang?

He, Zhu Yuanzhang, was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, not the king of those small countries. He didn't care if those people were gone. Instead, he could directly occupy the land for the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't even bother to be a messenger of justice.

"Yeah."

"Dad, what Feng Xue said is also what the child thinks."

Zhu Biao finally spoke at this time.

"If you can think about this, then we will doubt whether you are our seed."

Zhu Yuanzhang rolled his eyes.

The old Zhu family has always failed in economics. Doesn’t Zhu Yuanzhang know how much Zhu Biao weighs? "Zhu! Chong! Eight!"

"What do you mean?"

"Are you talking about me again?"

"How about you destroy me and make whoever you want to be queen, I will never object."

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, Zhu Biao didn't say anything, but Queen Ma became angry.

What do you mean?

She was pregnant with her first and most beloved child for ten months, and you are telling me this?

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Sister, don't be angry, that's all we said."

"We didn't say it wasn't."

"Biao'er's financial ability is in the same vein as ours. If it's not ours, who else could it be?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly had a dry cough and broke down. He spoke quickly and said something he shouldn't have said. He was unlucky tonight.

Zhu Biao:…

"Dad, you are indeed telling the truth, but is it too hurtful to say this?"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang innocently.

Obviously he has worked very hard, but he reads Ming Dynasty Economics every day, but he cannot understand that his level is really limited.

"Hahaha!"

"Biao'er, don't be too hard on yourself."

"Don't we still have Fengxue in charge in Ming Dynasty?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. We don't understand very much either. As long as Feng Xue understands, it's okay. If something happens, you should listen to Feng Xue's opinion. Even if we are gone, there will never be any problems in Daming."

"If you are not sure about foreign affairs, ask Fengxue. If you are not sure about internal affairs, ask Fengxue."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

In his life, he made countless crucial choices, which affected the national destiny that later led to the Ming Dynasty.

However, the most important thing, Zhu Yuanzhang believed, was that he took Xiao Han back in the snowy night.

This incident made Zhu Yuanzhang, who originally didn't believe in destiny, think that he was really destined by destiny.

The shortcomings of his old Zhu family are indeed very obvious, but the son we picked up back then made up for all these, and the current Ming Dynasty is impeccable.

This is not destiny, what is it?

"Dad, you are right."

"So now, apart from approving memorials, I almost always rely on the British government, just because I'm afraid I won't hear a word from Feng Xue."

Zhu Biao chuckled.

"Well...actually, it's not necessary."

"If you really make a wrong decision, I will tell you."

"Although I don't go to court now, I still know what happened in the court."

Xiao Han twitched the corner of his mouth and came to me to get the standard answer, right?

really do.

"Fengxue, tell me, if we follow your advice and gather the land of all countries to support the Ming Dynasty, gather the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the wealth of the former Song Dynasty, and the vastness of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty, how much better can we be than the powerful Han Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Xiao Han.

"How does this compare?"

"The production level of the Han and Tang dynasties was far behind ours."

"When two groups fight, Tang is much stronger than Han."

Xiao Han rolled his eyes.

Later generations like to compare dynasties blindly, so that some people dominate vertically and horizontally, and come to the conclusion that the later dynasty is the strongest.

"Compared with population, the more people it can feed, the stronger and more prosperous the country will be."

Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Oh."

"If compared like this, it would be at least ten times stronger."

"There were only tens of millions of people in the Han and Tang dynasties. If our Ming Dynasty develops according to this trend, we can support at least several hundred million people."

Xiao Han said casually.

"Good good!"

"Then we feel that the current circle around us is not enough to support our Ming Dynasty."

"We've also seen the map of Wan Guokan you put in the private room on the top floor of the restaurant."

"Look, can we conquer them all?"

"This is the real coming of all nations to the court!"

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his hands.

"It's hard."

"At least if there are no technological breakthroughs, we two brothers will be in trouble while we are alive."

Xiao Han spread his hands and told the truth.

"why?"

"Is there any empire here that is stronger than our Ming Dynasty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Indeed not."

"But Dad, don't blame me for saying that besides economics, you are not good at geography either."

"You really don't understand this map. You don't see how old Ming is in it. It would take decades for Ming's ships to go around without stopping."

"The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and I am not a masochist. How can I keep being slaughtered?"

Xiao Han curled his lips.

"Fengxue, I remember you didn't have that clipper..."

Zhu Biao suddenly spoke.

"I said that."

"I don't know how to do that either. I will take it out when it comes out, but I can't include that now."

Xiao Han rolled his eyes.

"Clipper?"

"What clipper?"

Upon hearing Zhu Biao's words, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately became energetic.

There seems to be a way to do this.

"No clippers!"

"At least not now!"

Xiao Han put a hand on his forehead.

Why are all the keywords being read here?

If you know how to do it, why don't you do foreign language listening and do it silently?

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Don't worry Fengxue, didn't you tell me that you don't have it now?"

"Your Daming Institute of Technology works hard. If one generation can't do it, then two generations will do it. As long as it is possible to do it, there is hope."

"It's not like Qin Shihuang's elixir. From the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Tang and Song Dynasties, countless emperors invested in it, but all of it was wasted. This waste makes us feel sad. If all this can be used to run the Central Plains, how can it be used to run the Central Plains? Where is the Meng Yuan?"

Zhu Yuanzhang coughed twice and said.
