Those who are in a superior position are never afraid of their subordinates making mistakes. As long as they can understand and step back from the brink, there is still hope. I hate the kind of stubborn donkey who never looks back.
No one can make mistakes without being a sage. Compared with Lao Zhu, Zhu Biao is actually more tolerant of the mistakes of his subordinates. Lao Zhu is actually somewhat idealistic and hopes to clean up the administration and turn things around, while Zhu Biao is more tolerant of human nature.
No hope.
Most people actually live for two goals in their lives, one is to live, and the other is to live well. To a certain extent, corruption is also a way and choice for individuals to pursue their own happiness.
Although it harms the interests of others and the collective, it can indeed make oneself and his family live a better life. This is enough for corrupt officials to succeed, even if there is a mountain of swords and a sea of fire ahead.
After all, luck is also human nature. Coupled with survivorship bias, many corrupt officials do not think that they will be so unlucky. They think that what they do is perfect. Didn’t you realize that the idiot waiter next door has been corrupt for ten years?
If you are living well, what is wrong with me?
The father and son strolled to the harem. Normally, Lao Zhu would be immersed in hard work at this time, worrying about the reasonable allocation of court resources and balancing the forces of all parties. But now that it was all left to Hu Weiyong, he felt at ease.
.
It is foreseeable that in the next few years, Comrade Zhu will be able to rest peacefully for a period of time, and it is also foreseeable that the number of young princes and princesses in the harem will increase dramatically.
Although it was a little late today, there was still some time before noon. At this time, the concubines in the harem were strolling around. Although they did not collide head-on, Zhu Biao had already seen several groups of concubines quickly avoid them from a distance.
.
It was also because the father and son had smaller eyes, so the eunuchs and maids followed behind, otherwise they would have been discovered early, and the concubines would not have been forced to panic.
If Zhu Yuanzhang was just wandering around, the gorgeous concubines would have shyly greeted him, but since there was a prince beside him, they naturally did not dare to come forward and disturb him.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the concubines scattered in the distance with great interest and said with a smile: "Several princesses have been sent over from Yesudier, as well as from Tatar and Tianbaonu. Together, they are enough to fill a courtyard.
Whose family do you want to accept?"
Zhu Biao did not answer this question, but took a breath and said: "It seems that Li Wenzhong contacted many tribes after entering the grassland, just Tianbaonu and the Tatar kings. He has always given away women, but Sudie
Aren't those over there originally clamoring to recapture Yanyun and recapture Dadu, and control the strings to wait for the horse to trample on the Central Plains?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's steps were extremely long and the pace was very fast. He had long been accustomed to not noticing anything at all. This was also a habit left over from his early years. After all, soldiers are very fast.
Zhu Biao's own habit of walking is slow and leisurely. He likes to think while walking and will simulate what he might say in his mind for a while. Now in order to keep up with his father's speed, he has to adjust himself, so his breath is a bit messy.
It's not that I'm tired, it's just that my body is not used to it, and it will be fine if I slowly adjust my breathing rhythm. But from this point, we can also see the difference in their personalities.
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to walk around with his hands behind his back, not even taking a second look at the exquisite scenery of the imperial garden. After listening to his son's answer, he continued: "Yesudie'er has great ambitions. Unfortunately, although Wala recommended him as Khan, he did not
He may die for him, not to mention the Tatar kings. After all, Yesudier is not a descendant of Kublai Khan, and it is difficult for them to trust and submit to Alibu brother's bloodline."
Zhu Biao nodded clearly and said: "Despite this, the Tatar side has not yet introduced a new khan, and has no intention of welcoming Tianbao Nu back as its khan."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "They also wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight. Tianbaonu sought the support of the Ming Dynasty, while Wala resisted the Ming Dynasty's reward. Even if we don't mention the hatred between Tianbaonu and Yesudie'er for killing their father, the two
There is bound to be a fight, so why should they rush to take sides?"
"Furthermore, I heard the news from the grassland that it is extremely cold this year. I am afraid that there will be heavy snow after winter, and it is very likely that a white disaster will occur. Last night, we specially called the Qintian Supervisor to ask.
, they should be inseparable."
Zhu Biao understood it as soon as he heard it. The white disaster was coming, strong winds were howling, snowflakes were flying, and livestock died in droves. There would be a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere.
The impact of the snowstorm on farming and pastoral civilization was not bad. Except for some extremely poor people and beggars who may freeze to death and starve to death, most people can survive according to the practice of harvesting in autumn and hiding in winter. However, the herdsmen on the grasslands can be saved differently.
After the white disaster, the vast pastures were covered with heavy snow, which made it more difficult for livestock to eat and move, and also reduced food sources overall. If the snow is loose, horses and sheep may still break through the snow and eat the grass.
As the snow warms up and then cools down, an ice crust forms on the snow surface. Not only are livestock unable to eat grass, but their hooves are easily scratched by the ice crust.
Due to the inability to graze after the white disaster, it is difficult for livestock to break through the ice to feed. In addition, transportation in pastoral areas is blocked and there is insufficient pasture for the winter. In a hungry environment, a large number of livestock suffer from a decrease in body temperature and physical fitness, and a weakened ability to withstand frost damage. They are often infected with diseases, and even lead to the death of a large number of livestock.
,At the same time, snow accumulation will lead to colder weather, further consuming the winter physical reserves of livestock.
This is only one aspect of the problem. Needless to say about the rest, the herdsmen on the grasslands and the leaders of various tribes must have expected it. This is also the reason why the internal conflicts in Mongolia are fierce.
The resources on the grassland are inherently limited. Even if the people survive the White Disaster, the livestock will be depleted and they will have nothing to rely on for food and clothing. They will inevitably embark on the road of robbery. This is naturally a great deal for the rule of the Mongolian kings.
Attack, after all, they are the richest people on the grassland.
When internal worries cannot be resolved, it is naturally the best choice to turn the pressure on external enemies. Even if you cannot successfully kill the enemy and plunder, you can still consume a group of people to the maximum extent and allocate their resources to let others survive.
winter.
The father and son were silent for a while. Although there were many plans and the Mongol forces were divided to a great extent, after the White Disaster came, all the peaceful and orderly situation would inevitably change dramatically.
The Mongolian kings are greedy and selfish, but they know who the real enemy is. Don't look at the fact that everyone is scrambling to please the Ming Dynasty, but it is just to coax the Ming Dynasty into providing food and assistance. Maybe Yesudier has already cooperated with some Tatars.
The king made an agreement.
Wolves roam the world and eat meat. The Ming Dynasty thought about training them into dogs. This is definitely not something that can be accomplished in just a few years. It is foreseeable that Mongolia will invade the Yanyun border in a large scale after winter, and the damage to both sides will never be
It's a small amount, and it's an inevitable tacit understanding between both parties.
