"The best policy is to develop people's livelihood and make the country rich and the people strong."
Zhu Ying smiled brightly and said.
This sentence made Zhu Yuanzhang stunned for a moment.
He thought that Zhu Ying would come up with a more effective solution. After all, he had already given so many insights into the issue. However, when it was the turn of the issue, it was solved with a simple sentence.
"The so-called bad strategy is to take a wrong approach, and the best strategy is to take the high road."
"No matter what the strategy is, the bottom line is to improve national power. If civil servants do not love money and military ministers do not care about their lives, then the world will be peaceful." Zhu Ying said with a smile.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he also laughed.
Of course Zhu Yuanzhang had read this passage, it was a passage in the biography of Yue Fei, the history of the Song Dynasty.
If you think about it carefully, there is no shortcut to governing the world. Managing a big country is like cooking small dishes, so you can only do it slowly.
"That being the case, then Grand Sun will tell you how to go about governing the world." Zhu Yuanzhang asked with some intention of taking a test.
"Since it is people's livelihood, it naturally starts with the people. The first problem that Ming Dynasty must solve now is food."
"Having a full stomach and not starving to death are the most important things for today's people," Zhu Ying replied.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, this is a general direction, but it is good for the grandson to have this awareness.
"That's it. Do you have any specific strategies to tell us?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.
Hearing this, Zhu Ying hesitated a little.
After all, he felt that he had said enough today, but it was a bit too much to talk about local governance from a businessman like him.
Zhu Yuanzhang had been observing Zhu Ying, and he immediately saw the meaning, and said with a smile: "We are the only two here, there is nothing to worry about, maybe you are afraid that I will harm you."
"Since the old man wants to hear it, let me tell you." After a brief hesitation, Zhu Ying said with a smile.
The old man is His Majesty's secretary, which means he has the opportunity to meet with His Majesty every day.
Come up with some plans to make this Ming Dynasty live a better life.
For Zhu Ying, it is actually very beneficial.
Some things would take too long to complete with his own energy, so he might as well borrow the wind of the Ming Dynasty.
"As far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, increasing the grain yield per mu is the key."
"Building water conservancy projects, reclaiming wasteland, and fertile land are what the Ming Dynasty has been doing."
"But among them, one issue has been ignored, and that is agriculture itself."
"Since ancient times, literati have read books by sages, but no one has ever studied rice, wheat, and other crops themselves."
"How to make the land more fertile, turn wasteland into fertile land, and whether there is a more effective way of farming."
"Just like the curved shaft plow in the early Tang Dynasty, such a far-reaching agricultural tool was developed by some illiterate old farmers. This shows that all dynasties have neglected agriculture itself."
Zhu Ying said slowly.
In fact, he also has sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn and other crops in his hands.
But the improvement of agricultural production technology is even more important.
Corn is okay, but sweet potatoes, potatoes and other potato crops have significantly reduced their yields during the continuous cultivation process.
This was the case with the Great Famine in Ireland in history.
Even in later generations, when agriculture was so developed, wheat and rice were the main products.
Agricultural production technology is the foundation of everything.
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "What Da Sun means is to establish a yamen to study agriculture and let literati study agriculture."
"That's right." Zhu Ying nodded.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned deeply. It is very difficult to do this.
After ten years of studying hard in a cold window, just for the sake of being named on the gold medal list, which scholar would study such things.
"It is not necessary to have a college degree. You can find some farmers to study and train you. As long as you can read and write, it will be fine."
"Such things cannot be achieved overnight, but they are necessary accumulations."
Zhu Ying added.
Now Europe is already the bud of the Renaissance.
Although the Ming Dynasty is currently the world's largest empire, it was later overtaken by Europe.
The industrial revolution is very important.
After Zhu Yuanzhang listened, he nodded slightly. In this aspect, Zhu Yuanzhang is actually an expert.
After all, he was born a serious poor farmer and was very familiar with agriculture.
Zhu Yuanzhang had personally experienced a series of processes such as land preparation, seedling raising, transplanting, weeding and insect removal, fertilizing, water diversion, and harvesting.
As long as he had a piece of land and a mouth of food to eat, Zhu Yuanzhang would not have had any thoughts of rebellion.
Seeing that it was already noon, Zhu Yuanzhang knew that it was time to return to the palace.
There are still too many government affairs waiting for him to deal with.
Including the new work-for-relief method proposed by Da Sun, he also convened six ministers to discuss it.
Develop specific rules and then implement them on a pilot basis to see the results.
Zhu Ying didn't say to save it for lunch or anything like that. The current rebate is usually at ten in the morning and two or three in the afternoon.
The third meal was also at dusk and sunset.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and walked a few steps, but suddenly turned back and asked:
"You baby, you are not young anymore. Now that your parents are gone, we will help you find a good girl."
Hearing this, Zhu Ying smiled bitterly and said, "There's no need to trouble the old man. I don't have a fixed abode. It just depends on fate."
"You child, you are unfilial in three ways, and the worst is not having children. Ordinary people start a family at sixteen. You are already twenty, how can you delay it?" Zhu Yuanzhang immediately reprimanded.
When Zhu Ying heard this, she couldn't refute it. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Then I'll trouble the old man."
Having said that, Zhu Ying actually had no intention of finding a partner in the capital.
Zhu Ying is not opposed to starting a family.
In fact, many of the leaders under his command openly or secretly urged Zhu Ying to start a family.
Because for them, only Zhu Ying has offspring, and their minds are more stable.
This is a very common idea in today's era.
This means that the power will be more stable, because people have misfortunes and good fortunes. If something happens to the lord, there will still be an heir.
If everyone has someone to be loyal to, there won't be too much confusion.
Just like Zhu Yuanzhang, after the death of Prince Zhu Biao, he immediately decided on the candidate for heir apparent. This is also true.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Ying's compromise, he smiled and asked naturally: "Dasun, what is your birthday and horoscope? If we see someone you like, I will help you put the horoscope first."
Zhu Ying was stunned when he heard this.
If he really wants to find a wife, he doesn't know whether to report his birth date from his previous life or his original birth date.
He immediately realized that he had no intention of starting a family in the capital, so naturally he wanted to support his father and son.
However, when he recalled it, he seemed to be a little vague about the birth dates of his adoptive father and son.
Of course I know the year, month and day of my birth, but I just can’t remember the specific time.
After a slight pause, Zhu Ying changed the subject and said with a smile: "If the old man finds a good girl, he still needs me to meet her."
"As a person like me, I still pay more attention to eyesight."
As a descendant, naturally I will not like the current Ming Dynasty’s way of getting married. You don’t even know what your wife looks like before getting married. Lifting the hijab is like opening a blind box.
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Zhu Yuanzhang replied with a smile, but the moment he turned his head, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
You must know that in ancient times, the birth date and horoscope were just like the ID cards of later generations.
Moreover, the ancients believed that the birth date and horoscope represented the destiny of a lifetime, and they attached great importance to it.
Even an illiterate old farmer in the country can accurately tell his birth date.
However, Da Sun obviously avoided this topic.
Zhu Yuanzhang can be sure at this moment.
Da Sun Ta,
I don’t know my birthday and horoscope.
How can a person forget his birth date?
There is only one possibility, he has lost his memory.
In this way, everything will fall into place.
After leaving the teahouse, Zhu Yuanzhang walked towards the palace and ordered at the same time:
"Jiang Wei, immediately summon the six ministers to the Huagai Hall. We have important matters to discuss with them."
