"Gandu, I noticed that you seem to have changed a lot since you came to the north this time. There is a world of difference from the former Zhang Tianru, who was shouting all day long and devoted himself to the world." Yuan Chonghuan asked doubtfully.
Zhang Pu already knew at this time that he could not persuade Yuan Chonghuan.
He smiled wryly and said, "The biggest gain of my visit this time is that I met a person in Jizhou."
"I wonder which great talent you met, Gandu," Yuan Chonghuan teased.
"You met this man a few months ago, and you were disappointed. Haha." Zhang Pu said with a smile.
Yuan Chonghuan was stunned for a moment, then smiled bitterly.
This year, there is only one person who has put me in trouble.
He's that arrogant and outrageous boy.
But now, do I still have the right to call him arrogant?
After all, with Duoyan's military report in his arms, he has already established such great achievements.
This was the first time since Renxuan that the northern forces were completely defeated.
"Haha, isn't he hostile to me, the Lords of Donglin? He just pointed his nose at us and called us the worms of the country. He is actually willing to have a deep talk with you." Yuan Chonghuan curled his lips and said.
"I don't know why, but he seemed to treat me differently from others. That day he abandoned all his prejudices and talked a lot with me. Well, by the way, the donkey meat pot stickers he served me were good and very delicious."
Yuan Chonghuan shook his head helplessly, this Tianru was like a true celebrity.
Laughing, yelling and cursing all turn into articles, living a really free and unrestrained life.
Carrying such a heavy burden, I really envy his god-like life.
"Actually, after all, it's just that everyone looks at the problem from different perspectives. Maybe he is right, maybe we are right. However, one sentence he said touched me."
Yuan Chonghuan asked: "What did he say?"
This kid is very good at quarreling with people. He will do whatever it takes to make people angry.
I almost made myself angry to death last time. I wanted to pull out Shang Fang's sword and chop him down.
"He said that the problem of Ming Dynasty was not a military problem, but a political problem. Military means cannot solve political problems. He said that your direction is wrong."
Seeing Yuan Chonghuan deep in thought, Zhang Pu continued: "He calls these problems faced by the Ming Dynasty involution. He said that if we want to break through the curse of two thousand years and the dynasty cannot last more than three hundred years, we can only solve it by going outside."
"He said that Ming Dynasty's current civilian rule model has come to an end. If we don't make a complete change, I'm afraid we can only tear it down and start over."
"Hmph, what he said is very light. It has been a long-standing practice to bring chaos to order, but I don't see that great sage coming up with practical ideas." Yuan Chonghuan said disdainfully.
At such a young age, I didn't know that the world was difficult, so I dared to speak nonsense about such a major military matter.
"That's what I said at the time. These problems have existed since ancient times and have been solved long ago. Don't underestimate him, he really gave a solution. It's just too appalling," Zhang Pu said.
Seeing Yuan Chonghuan looking at him, Zhang Pu said: "For example, on the issue of official corruption, the plan he gave is very shocking.
"He proposed to stop agricultural taxes and farmers would no longer collect taxes. Since taxes have been stopped in rural areas, there will be no problem of official corruption."
Yuan Chonghuan sneered and said: "That's great advice. If you don't eat, you don't have to poop. Humph. Where does the country's tax revenue come from? Without tax revenue, how can the court maintain its operations?"

"In order to change the customs tax, he estimated that the annual customs duty on goods produced in Ming Dynasty would be more than 10 million taels. It is far more than the current agricultural tax of 4 million taels a year. It is enough to maintain the operation of the government. It is a pity that this matter cannot be implemented at all.
.There is no need to explain the reason.”
Although Yuan Chonghuan didn't know how much the tariffs would be, he still knew that the profits from overseas trade were huge.
He is now eager to make money and is very jealous of Mao Wenlong's Pi Dao Four-Country Trade.
But he shuddered just thinking about it.
Although he was brave enough, at least he wouldn't dare to do this.
However, Yuan Chonghuan also has a lot of admiration for him. It is remarkable that he dares to make this point.
"What else did he say?"
"Abolition of the Imperial Examination"
"What! What is he going to do!" Yuan Chonghuan almost jumped up. There are such crazy people in the world. Does he know what he is talking about?
"He said that the imperial examinations imprison talents and destroy people's minds. The most important thing is the benevolence that Confucianism talks about. It is actually a kind of private morality. But all the problems in the Ming Dynasty today are that the entire society lacks public morality. He said that without selfishness, there is no need for benevolence and righteousness.
.There is a problem with Confucianism from its fundamental starting point. It is all about personal kindness and righteousness. Whoever gives benefits will work for whom. As a result, the people of Ming Dynasty only know that there is a family and not a nation. From the emperor to the landlord, they are all for themselves.
One family should be considered. Everyone only cares about himself and not others, and personal interests infringe on public interests. The social environment can only get worse and worse."
"If the imperial examination is stopped, where will the officials come from? How can the court govern the people?" Yuan Chonghuan said angrily.
"My Healing Game"
Zhang Pu said with a wry smile: "There are even more shocking remarks. He actually said that officials are elected by election. All adults, men and women, and people with normal minds are eligible to vote. One person, one vote, and officials are elected level by level. The term is four to five years.
Years will be re-elected when due. Officials are responsible to the voters."
Yuan Chonghuan was shocked and dumbfounded. How dare he say these crazy remarks? Are he not afraid that if it is leaked, he will become the target of thousands of people?
After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said: "Everyone knows that Dong Lin has nothing to do with him. He is not afraid of you telling you these things. Because no one believes that he will say these things to you. Your Majesty will not believe it either.
They will think you are slandering and framing him."
Zhang Pu shook his head and said: "I don't know why. After he said this to me, I knew these words were ridiculous, but I couldn't help but think about them in my head. On the contrary, the more I thought about them, the more sense they made.
It’s really strange and strange. My mind is confused when I think about it. I’m going to go back and study behind closed doors for a while to get some peace and quiet.”
Yuan Chonghuan said: "I don't know if what he said is right. But I know that Ming Dynasty is already terminally ill. If strong medicine is given, it may be over. Managing a big country is like cooking a small one. You still have to be mature to build a country, and you can't be impulsive."
Zhang Pu said: "When I said goodbye, he said something. "The water that overturned the boat is the tears of the people. You will not know it until Hengliu." You can wait, the people of this world cannot wait. You have less than twenty years.
It’s time. I hope it’s not too late.”
After finishing speaking, Zhang Pu shook his head in a depressed mood, which shows how much impact this meeting had on him.

Yuan Chonghuan recited these two lines of poetry in a low voice and couldn't help but cheer in his heart.
Well said, a good saying: "The water that capsizes a boat is the tears of the common people."
"After I plan to go back, I will close the door and thank guests, and concentrate on studying what happened to the Ming Dynasty and where the problem lies."
Yuan Chonghuan no longer knew what to say and looked at this somewhat decadent old friend silently.
I sighed in my heart, I really made a mistake in my life when I saw Yang Fan. I was stupid for at least three years. These rumors are really terrible. Is this still the crazy Zhang Tianru?
At the Juehua Island Pier, Yuan Chonghuan felt inexplicably heavy as he watched Zhang Tianru's boat go away and disappear from sight.
But he soon adjusted his mentality.
Now, everything I do is not for myself, but for Ming Dynasty.
Whatever I do today, whether it is right or wrong, I will not waver regardless of whether the world criticizes or praises me.
No more today
