Zhu Yuanzhang is a true genius.
He was born into poverty when he was a child, and he began to become literate through the opportunity of reciting sutras as a monk.
Then there is continuous learning.
Are there many people as diligent and studious as Zhu Yuanzhang?
Many, too many to count.
But it is rare to be able to apply what you have learned, and even learn about literature, Taoism and martial arts.
Zhu Yuanzhang started his rebellion in a remote area. At that time, Chen Youliang had many soldiers and horses and was powerful.
Zhang Shicheng has a lot of money.
Only Zhu Yuanzhang is not strong in these two aspects.
Someone proposed to attack Zhang Shicheng first and seize his wealth, and then fight Chen Youliang.
Zhu Yuanzhang directly denied it and attacked Chen Youliang first.
He carefully analyzed their personalities.
Chen Youliang has an arrogant personality, while Zhang Shicheng has a narrow outlook. An arrogant person likes to stir up wars, while a narrow outlook means he has no lofty ambitions.
Therefore, we must attack Chen Youliang first.
Sure enough, during the Battle of Poyang, Zhang Shicheng's army did not take a step forward to rescue Gusu.
It is evident that Zhu Yuanzhang's talents and strategies were able to defeat the enemy.
Being able to quell chaos and conquer the world can be clearly explained by the word luck.
Then the Ming Dynasty was founded and the country was governed.
Zhu Yuanzhang personally handled various systems such as Ming law, military law, etiquette, and sacrifices.
After the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, under the governance of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Ming Dynasty recuperated and its national power flourished, which shows that he was also a great talent in governing the country.
After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is not an all-rounder, but in the field of business, it is Zhu Yuanzhang's weakness.
This can be considered a limitation of history.
But in terms of understanding ability, Zhu Yuanzhang is considered transparent.
After Zhu Ying's explanation, I immediately understood the principles and routines.
"It's seconds, it's seconds. Why has no one ever thought of such a simple truth?"
Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table, almost startling Zhu Ying, and then said loudly.
Before Zhu Ying could say anything, he heard the sound of the rapid stairs and Jiang Wei had already appeared at the door of the private room.
"We're fine, let's get down." Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that he was a little excited and ordered Jiang Yu.
Jiang Wei said nothing, bowed slightly, and stepped back.
"Old man, you are a very loyal guard when the time comes." Zhu Ying glanced at Jiang Wei. Having experienced many killings, he could naturally feel that Jiang Wei was extraordinary.
"It's not bad." Zhu Yuanzhang said casually, and then said: "We have thought about your idea carefully just now. It is indeed very feasible, but the details still need to be discussed."
Zhu Ying nodded and said: "Yes, it seems simple, but in fact it is quite difficult to operate."
"There are a few special points to note."
"First of all, these nobles and gentlemen who can take on government work must have certain qualifications."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he couldn't help but interrupt: "How to judge his qualifications?"
At this point, Zhu Ying began to think about how to describe it in more detail.
In fact, the method Zhu Ying mentioned is the same as the project contracting system of later generations.
Let these country gentlemen and nobles, in the form of engineering teams, undertake the projects given by the government.
Then win the bid.
After thinking for a while, Zhu Ying continued: "In some places, a certain family may not be able to take on the responsibility, so we can let them cooperate together."
"As for the issue of qualifications, the local government can provide details first."
“For example, when repairing a certain road section, roughly how many people are needed and how many days will it take to complete, we must reach an agreement with the local team and write it down clearly in black and white.”
"If the agreed deadline is violated, of course a fine will be imposed."
"Then no matter what status you have, you must first pay enough grain as a mortgage before starting work."
"The grain you pay is your qualifications. If you give it an appropriate profit, it will work."
"One thing worth noting is that the rations of these civilians should not be the responsibility of the nobles, but the government."
Zhu Ying was thinking and talking with reference to the engineering modules of later generations, but did not notice that the old man's eyes were getting brighter and brighter.
Zhu Yuanzhang held back the excitement in his heart.
What kind of method is this?
This is already a complete strategy. Even the specific response measures have been arranged. You only need to arrange it directly according to this process.
You must know that in the memorials of today's ministers, there are some limitations in the learning of the ancients.
Many countermeasures, relatively speaking, have a general direction, which is to propose a thinking.
Then the specific implementation depends on how the officials below operate.
Like Zhu Ying, she almost taught her how to do it step by step.
'Like us, really like us. '
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed in his heart, it was indeed his grandson who was brought up by himself.
Even if he lost his memory, he was still affected by himself.
When it comes to handling things, Zhu Yuanzhang himself also likes to be precise to the individual.
For example, in terms of clothing, the colors, materials, lengths, and patterns of official clothing are all extremely precise.
The distribution of occupations, the identities of civilian officials and what they should do, were all arranged one by one.
With this kind of acting style, Zhu Yuanzhang has not found any like-minded people for the time being in the entire Ming Dynasty.
But now, when he heard Da Sun's remarks and countermeasures, he suddenly felt like a confidant.
"Did you come up with this method by yourself, or have you heard about it?" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear to ask.
Zhu Ying smiled, not realizing how shocking he was. Instead, he said modestly:
"It makes the old man laugh. I am just a businessman. I occasionally ponder some principles of doing business."
"Business is first built on the basis of prosperity, so it can be regarded as unconstrained."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he said with a smile: "How can you be so unimaginative? You are obviously very talented. I think the great grandson's talent is far inferior to that of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."
"The old man has given you the award. I am just a businessman, so how can I be compared with a minister." Zhu Ying said with a smile.
It feels good to be praised, especially since the old man is a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy.
Zhu Yuanzhang paused for a moment, then asked tentatively: "We have some dignity in front of His Majesty, why don't we recommend you an official position?"
"Don't do this, old man. With my lazy temper, I can't be an official. I just need to live my own life well." Zhu Ying said quickly.
He knew that the old man was a bachelor of the royal family.
What I just said is itself an impact on system reform for the current Ming Dynasty.
It would be cool if His Majesty really valued him and called him over.
As we all know, being an official during the Hongwu period was not a good job.
Not only do I have to worry about it, but I get up early every day and I am exhausted. The little salary is enough to have a full meal.
It is open all year round.
It is said to be a three-day holiday, the winter solstice, the first day of the new year, and Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday.
However, during the Winter Solstice, ancestor worship is held, and on Zhengdan Day, there is a court meeting. Although there is no need to do anything, everyone still has to go to court to pay New Year greetings to His Majesty.
Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday, it was routine to entertain all the ministers.
This is His Majesty's favor. How dare you not go?
Calculated in this way, it means taking a lunch break throughout the year and working until retirement.
It means retiring and begging for bones when old.
That also requires His Majesty's consent.
If your ability is very outstanding, it is generally impossible for you to retire until you are completely unable to do anything.
So, during Zhu Yuanzhang's reign.
Diligence is the first element.
Those with poor abilities should be careful with their heads.
Those with strong abilities will fight until death.
