Chapter 96 - Grandfather and grandson get along - the second time
After listening to Yunxi's words, Lao Zhu's eyes lit up. This strategy is really good. It is much better than the previous Ding Fu and can better balance the wealth and the poor. So Lao Zhu said: "Yunxi, your idea is very good."
good."
Then Lao Zhu said: "Grandpa turned around and ordered us to carry out the payment of grain as a whole and the sharing of grains into acres. Things have to be done one by one. First, the grains are divided into acres, which is more difficult; and then the grain is collected as one body, which is easier."
Yunxi was surprised: Is it more difficult to divide the land into an acre than to pay for it as a whole? But then he realized: Tax exemption on land for scholars and candidates was a policy started by Zhu Yuanzhang. It only lasted for more than ten years and it is easy to change; tax exemption on land for officials has been implemented for a long time.
policy, but the Ming Dynasty was just established, and now Lao Zhu is killing ministers on such a large scale, and an official interest class has not yet formed, so it is easier.
The separate collection of Ding Fu and Tian Fu has been a tradition for more than two thousand years. It takes more effort to change the tradition, so it is difficult.
Lao Zhu then said: "Yunxi, these policies that are difficult to implement and will cause infamy will be prepared for you in advance."
"Grandpa has killed so many literati. The literati in the future will definitely not say good things about me. I don't care about my posthumous reputation, as long as the Ming Dynasty can exist for a long time."
"But you are the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and you have to leave a good reputation. Grandpa solved all these things that would damage your reputation while he was still alive, saving you the trouble of having a bad reputation."
After hearing Lao Zhu's words, Yunxi's eyes were red, and he said with a cry: "Grandpa!" Lao Zhu will not only bear the original infamy in the future, but will also bear the original infamy of Emperor Yongzheng!
He has been getting along with Zhu Yuanzhang these days, and he has regarded Lao Zhu as his own grandfather. Now that he heard his words of thinking about himself, he couldn't help but be very moved. Tears in his eyes couldn't help but flow down.
Lao Zhu stretched out his hand, wiped the tears on Yunxi's face, and said: "A man doesn't shed tears easily. How can he cry so easily? What does it look like!"
Yunxi wiped away his tears and said, "Yes."
At the same time, he secretly made up his mind: after he ascends the throne, he must speed up the development of the country, and wait until the country can develop faster to an era where all people are literate and everyone is literate. By then, the literati class will inevitably decline, and the common people will no longer believe in those shameless literati.
If so, Zhu Yuanzhang will be rectified!
Lao Zhu was tired after thinking for such a long time. He sent an order for Li Jinzhong and Su Huai'en to come in and serve tea. At the same time, he said: "How old! When grandpa was young, he discussed military strategies with the soldiers and commanded the army. He often stayed up all night and did not work.
I feel tired; I have only discussed it for such a while now and I can’t stand it any longer.” He pushed the memorial on the desk and said, “I’ll comment on it tomorrow. I’ll take a rest today.”
Yunxi didn't know how to answer this, so he could only say: "Grandpa, 'Old man, he has ambitions for thousands of miles. In his twilight years, a martyr is always ambitious.' Wei Wu (Emperor Cao Cao) was still so ambitious when he was sixty years old. Grandpa is also sixty this year.
What’s so decadent about it?”
Lao Zhu smiled and said: "Yunxi, your analogy is not good. Grandpa is sixty-six this year, and Wei Wu is only sixty-six. You are metaphorizing grandpa..."
Yunxi quickly interrupted: "Grandpa, that's not what my grandson meant."
Lao Zhu laughed again and said: "Grandpa also knows that you don't mean it, but you are just joking."
Then he added: "From your words, I can hear that you admire Wei Wu very much. This is not good. Wei Wu is a treacherous minister when he goes to the Han Dynasty."
Yunxi really liked Cao Cao very much. He was greatly influenced by Yi Zhongtian's "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and thought Cao Cao was a "cute little man". However, because "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" described Liu Bei as too hypocritical, he hated the story of Liu Bei since the Southern Song Dynasty.
Liu Bei is regarded as the orthodox.
Therefore, Yunxi defended himself: "It was Cao Pi who rebelled against the Han Dynasty, not Wei Wu. Moreover, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Emperor of Han had declined. After Dong Zhuo entered the capital, who among the powerful officials in the world respected the Han Emperor? Only Wei Wu respected the Han Emperor.
Gong."
"And Wei Wu issued the "Wei Cai Ju Ling" to attack the powerful gentry. Isn't it consistent with his grandfather's campaign to control the powerful? Wei Wu also attacked Wuhuan in the north, divided the southern Xiongnu into five tribes, and appointed the mighty king of the city (Cao Zhang), Qin Lang, etc.
Going out to Mobei to attack the Hu people, isn’t it the same as grandpa’s attack on Beiyuan?”
"Since the Zhao, Song and Jin Shaoxing conferences, the north has been occupied by barbarians for almost two hundred years, and it has been recovered by China for only twenty years. At this time, it is necessary to praise Wei Wu who attacked the barbarians in the north.
king."
"And from the two Jin Dynasties to the early Zhao and Song Dynasties, Cao Wei has always been regarded as the orthodox one, and the Shu Han Dynasty founded by Zhaolie (Liu Bei's posthumous title) has not been regarded as the orthodox one. However, these dynasties that respected Cao Wei were all dynasties that unified the world, and those who respected Shu Han were just
The 'Southern Song Dynasty' was settled in the south of the Yangtze River; our Ming Dynasty unified the world, how can it be the same as the 'Southern Song Dynasty' in a corner of the Yangtze River?" (Note 1)
Lao Zhu had never heard of the term "Southern Song Dynasty", but he immediately understood the meaning of the term. Lao Zhu emphasized practicality and despised fame. He would not think about these thoughts that did not involve the Ming Dynasty unless someone raised them. He just subconsciously
Accept what you have seen.
Now after listening to Yunxi's words, Lao Zhu felt that it was quite reasonable, so he said: "Then I will regard Cao Wei as the orthodox Three Kingdoms after the Ming Dynasty."
After thinking for a while, he added: "Speaking of which, in the Yuan Dynasty, there was no distinction between who was orthodox among the Three Kingdoms. In the "Order of Gui Gui" written by the Mongolian Aluwei, there was no distinction between the three families." (Note 2)
Yunxi happened to have read this Yuan Dynasty song and said: "Most Mongolian people are vulgar, and this Aluwei can be regarded as one of the few literate people among the Mongolians, especially this song "The Order of Gui Gui": tripod three points,
One part of Western Shu, one part of Jiangdong. Very good."
Lao Zhu chatted with Yunxi for a few more words, and suddenly said: "Are you sincere about imitating the ancient feudal state?" After saying that, he stared at Yunxi with burning eyes.
Yunxi didn't hesitate and said immediately: "Grandpa, my grandson is indeed sincere."
Lao Zhu said: "Since ancient times, talented and strategic kings, including the First Emperor, have all pursued the pursuit of supremacy, including me. Grandpa thinks that you are also a very arbitrary person. Why can you be like this?" Lao Zhu didn't look at Yunxi's eyes just now.
I couldn't see any forgery in it, so I thought Yunxi was sincere.
Yunxi is indeed sincere. Of course, this does not mean that Yunxi just wants to decentralize power. If there can be unification, who wants to decentralize power? But the current technical means are too poor. There are no trains, no steam engines, no telegraphs, no telegraph, no
There was no way to rule the territory that was too big. But Yunxi also wanted the Chinese to occupy the whole world.
Yunxi couldn't explain why he had to occupy the whole world. He couldn't rule such a big place. Living in the East, no one could deal with him in his lifetime. He tasted all the oriental delicacies and slept with all the oriental beauties.
, wouldn’t it be better to travel around the beautiful scenery of the East and live a beautiful life?
Why we need to reform and expand, even if we are tired, it is still not understood by people at the time. "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, don't be a horse or a cow for your children and grandchildren." Wouldn't it be a good idea to stay like this for the rest of your life?
Facing Lao Zhu's words, Yunxi fell into self-confusion for a while.
In Lao Zhu's view, Yunxi stayed where he was after listening to his question, with confusion on his face. He couldn't help but panic, and whispered to Li Jinzhong: "Hurry up and get all the brilliant doctors from the Imperial Hospital over.
"Li Jinzhong hurriedly walked out to call the imperial doctor.
Yunxi slowly came to his senses and found the reason. Although he believed that "children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, don't be a horse or a cow for your children and grandchildren", but he did not want his sons to start killing each other immediately after his death; no matter
Whether it is a massacre like the "Seven Kingdoms Rebellion" during the reign of Emperor Jing of the Western Han Dynasty, or a massacre like the so-called "Nine Dragons Seizing the Progeny" in the Kangxi Dynasty, we don't want it to happen.
At the same time, he does not want his children and grandchildren to be raised like pigs, or to have to hide their abilities and bide their time, pretending to be crazy and acting stupid even though they are very capable.
The only way to prevent children and grandchildren from killing each other or pretending to be crazy is to keep one of the capable children and grandchildren in the local area to succeed him, and send the others to places that are difficult to reach in the Central Plains.
Secondly, although he is now a member of the royal family and has much better food, clothing and enjoyment than the life of a widow in his previous life, he still misses many things from his previous life: he misses the concrete roads, and the current roads are really enough; he misses the convenience
The bright electric light was enough, and candles were enough; he missed the family car, and horse-drawn carriages were enough.
He still misses many, many things. Although he can't make cars or anything like that, he can make something to make his life more convenient and better. Even if he can't make a power station, he can't make it.
I still can’t get a rocking generator!
Therefore, I want to expand, reform, and invent for the sake of my own life, and at the same time, it also allows Chinese people to spread all over the world and rule most of the world. Although I will be scolded by literati during my lifetime, people hundreds of years later
Everyone will thank themselves, and it can be regarded as leaving a posthumous name.
Note 1: Unlike Zhou, Han, and Jin, there is no obvious dynasty in the Song Dynasty. Gaozong Zhaogou and Huizong are biological father and son, and the Zhao Song regime has not collapsed and rebuilt. Therefore, there is no Southern Song Dynasty or Northern Song Dynasty at this time.
The difference is collectively called Zhao and Song. In fact, it can be seen from the names. The Zhou Dynasty, the two Han Dynasties, and the two Jin Dynasties are all called the Western Zhou and Eastern Zhou, the Western Han and Eastern Han, the Western Jin and the Eastern Jin. Only the Song Dynasty is called the Northern Song and the Southern Song. Obviously, this is a distinction made by modern historians.
Note 2: The whole song of Aluwei's "The Order of Gui Gui - Ode to History": Ask the world who is the hero? There is wine on the river, and Cao Gong is flying across the river. Purple cover and yellow flag, many should be borrowed, red cliff east wind, even more startling Nanyang
Wolong became famous as one of the Eight Formations. The tripod has three points, one for Western Shu and one for Jiangdong.
Aluwei and Nalan Rongruo are, in my opinion, rare people from other ethnic groups who are good at writing Chinese poetry.
