Chapter 337 If you can’t control the world’s money and food, what kind of emperor do you want to be?

They deceived the superiors and concealed the inferiors, and worked together to erode the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty. From then on, the upper class became a tightrope and began to blatantly compete with the country for profit. It was also foreseeable that the ministers would not obey the emperor. Cleared up the complicated thoughts. Zhu Yuanzhang was breathing heavily and immediately lost his composure. The blood vessels on his forehead were beating wildly, and the veins on his neck were even more prominent. Visible restlessness. "Chongpachi, calm down." Queen Ma stretched out her hand and pried open the other's clenched fingers, fearing that he would lose control and drop the tea cup to the ground. Separated by a wall, there is no sound insulation. A slightly louder movement here can be heard clearly on the other side. Don't cause trouble for yourself at this time. "The purpose of Mr. Lin asking the boss to stay is to fundamentally deal with the Ming Dynasty's problems." "So don't worry. Since Mr. Lin dares to raise it, he must have a solution."

"Otherwise, what's the point of talking nonsense?" "Am I right?" Queen Ma's soft words of comfort made Zhu Yuanzhang slowly calm down, and the tense muscles all over his body were relieved. He leaned back on the chair, took a long breath, and suppressed the resentment in his heart. He placed his hopes on Lin Che's strategy to break the situation. "Gudong." Zhu Biao swallowed hard and said, his scalp was numb, his hands and feet were cold, and he hurriedly said:

"Then, how can we suppress the barbaric growth of cronies?" "Isn't it enough that the commercial development of middle-aged boys is no longer allowed to be used by government and businessmen to make profits?" "After all, the early stage was a typical example. The royal family fully accepted private business activities and directed the development of a more arrogant and domineering clan." "This must be guarded against!" This statement came out. Lin Che's eyes showed a hint of relief and she said with a smile: "Yes, Not Bad." "I know how to draw inferences from one example and my brain is not rigid." "Much better than I am." Zhu Yuanzhang, who was eavesdropping outside the wall, blushed, and a few more black lines suddenly appeared on his forehead, and whispered: "What's wrong with us?" "We thought about it too." "You have trouble with us all day long."

"Damn it, who did we offend whom?" "As for the three sentences that cannot be separated from us." Hearing this, Queen Ma frowned slightly, glanced over at Xun Sheng, and immediately told him to shut up obediently. Let’s talk about the other side. "Mr. Lin is overly complimentary." Zhu Biao smiled awkwardly, bowed respectfully, and said humbly: "Students know they are stupid." "Make Mr. Lin laugh." "I hope you can give me some advice." Lin Che didn't care about this, waved her hand and said: "Don't worry, first you have to understand the underlying logic so that you can be more comfortable with it in the future instead of just asking me when you encounter problems." "This world belongs to your old Zhu family, and the throne belongs to you and the Zhu family. It has nothing to do with me." After saying that, Lin Che tapped her temples with her fingers. "You have to use your brain." "If you know what is happening but don't know why, no matter how much you listen to me, it will be useless." "Do you understand what I mean?" The words fell. Zhu Biao subconsciously held his breath and looked at Lin Che with eyes filled with gratitude, knowing that the other party was teaching her something to fish with, rather than just expressing disdain and complaint. "Students pay homage to Mr. Xie Lin." "Great kindness, great virtue, nothing to repay." Seeing his serious look as if facing a formidable enemy, Lin Che couldn't help but yawn, but she didn't make any more detours. “Every dynasty in China showed a relaxed atmosphere at the beginning of the founding of the country, allowing freedom of industry and commerce and restoring the vitality of the people. " "The Ming Dynasty is of course no exception. After you ascended the throne, I proposed a series of burden-reducing policies. At the same time, I also explicitly ordered not to disturb business. The government cannot forcefully buy people's goods at low prices in the name of festivals." “It’s very forward-looking and well thought out. After a pause, Lin Che continued:

"However, when the country became slightly more stable, the emperor's attitude towards industry and commerce immediately changed subtly. Emperors in all dynasties have been like this, and so is your father." "Every time a dynasty changes and a new emperor ascends the throne, he will reflect on the mistakes of his predecessors, hope to correct them if they are not, and encourage others to do so. This is just something you and I reflect on." "Too extreme, too extreme." "Big businessmen will harm the country. There is no doubt about this. That's why we must seize power and not just delegate it to others like your father."

"We mentioned it before when we were talking about rights, but neither of you took it seriously." Hear this. The Zhu family father and son lowered their heads in unison, feeling blushing and ashamed. "In the early years of Hongwu, your father ordered that 140,000 people from the south of the Yangtze River be moved to your hometown of Fengyang. Many of them were wealthy businessmen and landowners. The extremely wealthy families in the Sanwu area left their homeland and became fish out of water." "All assets are lost, and within a few years, they either die or move, and no one survives." "These people remember their luxurious life in the past, so they often dress up as beggars and go home to visit their relatives and visit their graves." Lin Che shook her head slightly and sighed:

"This move is tantamount to throwing the money bag into the water." "We have enriched the people and ruined their clan by overstepping the rules. This is not good for anyone at all. If you don't seek a win-win situation, you can't have a win-win situation." "The methods used by the merchant class can be seen from Liu Bang and Liu Xiu of the Han Dynasty. They are the common 'secrets' for the success of almost all rebellions." "I can't even copy your homework?" "The capital is the foundation of the world. Moving wealthy businessmen to the most accessible place is the choice of smart people, rather than driving people away for their own selfish interests." "If you can't control the world's money and food, what kind of emperor do you want to be?" "The biggest characteristic of regression is, to put it bluntly, conservatism!" "This is also the root cause of your father's illness." “If you don’t think, you will be in vain; if you don’t advance, you will retreat.” "Ordinary people are like sailing against the current, let alone being at the helm of such a huge country?" Lin Che looked sideways at the worried Zhu Biao and said: "When the Han people regained the power of rule from the Mongols, the first thing you thought of was how to stop being left behind." "So, stability has become the starting point of all policies." "If we don't advance the Yuan Dynasty, compared with the Song Dynasty, the structure of the Ming Dynasty is equally narrow and lacks tolerance." “In terms of governance strategies, all governance goals are inward isolation and outward stasis, and the means must be self-isolation.” "It seems impeccable, but in fact it is full of loopholes." "As the emperor of the world, the emperor cannot accommodate even a small businessman, so how can he accept the submission of all rivers and seas." Hear this. Zhu Yuanzhang outside the wall sighed heavily. Although these words were unpleasant, he had to admit that they were reasonable. The prejudice against businessmen is deep-rooted and cannot be formed overnight. He hates those big businessmen from the bottom of his heart. It is precisely because of disgust that there is a lack of control, and some harsh conditions can be set casually, and then allowed to fend for themselves. It doesn't matter whether they live or die.
