"How lucky I am to be born in the Ming Dynasty. I will never regret entering China in this life."
Xu Qin began his most formal deception in the Ming Dynasty. He did not miss those successful masters of later generations.
It's a pity that the greatest achievement of those masters is to deceive people, and they have never succeeded at all. Because no successful person has the skills to deceive others.
Only complain when you are unsuccessful. Did you tell your son the secret to real success? What to share with you?
But it is undeniable that these success masters are indeed big liars. It can incite people's emotions.
“Why do we people in the Central Plains call ourselves Han people since the Han Dynasty, regardless of which dynasty?
That is the Han Dynasty gave all Han people the proudest and proudest ambition. When facing any country or nation, if they say "I am Han", they will be in awe or even bow down.
I don’t see you, the Han Dynasty’s army is over, and the weak crowns are tied to the prisoners and they ask for long tassels.
If you don't see me, I will be far away, and the light cavalry from Jueyu will urge you to fight.
Even though the Central Plains dynasty is weak, the glory of our ancestors will still haunt these people and make us think about restoring the glory of the Han Dynasty. Let 'I am Han Chinese' shine in the world again.
Are the Maps of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Zong Yuanzhi of the Tang Dynasty just the history books of the emperor himself? No, they are the pride of an era. The backbone and blood of a nation, these emperors made their people feel proud. Born in the Han and Tang Dynasties, they were extremely proud.
But since the Tang Dynasty, until Taizu restored China, have the Han people ever been proud? The tragedy of the Wuhu chaos in the Chinese world, and the weak Song Dynasty are just self-rewarding behind closed doors. After all, he lost a bit of backbone.
Chen's grandfather and Taizu held long tassels and expelled the Tartars to restore China. The people of their generation have done what they should do. The family assets are left behind, what should we do? Resting on the merits of your ancestors?
A hundred years from now, let the common people be able to proudly say, I am a Han, a Tang, and a Ming. When I die, I can say, how lucky I am to be born in the Ming Dynasty.
I just want future generations to be able to say when they evaluate it: Under the Han and Tang dynasties, I was the only one who had the Ming Dynasty. "
Xu Qin was cutting meat and drinking wine. Before I knew it, it was too much, and I couldn't control my words and emotions.
Use a knife to draw a map on the ground. Where is Ming Dynasty, where is Japan, where is Korea, and where is Southeast Asia.
Also, how big is the world as a whole? There are so many continents to the west.
"Why is Ming Dynasty so big?" Zhu Zhanji asked vaguely.
"The world is too big, but our vision is too small. My eldest nephew will test you. What do you think will be the greatest harm to Ming Dynasty in the future?"
Xu Qin put the knife in the crook of his arm and wiped it, then cut a piece of meat and handed it to Zhu Zhanji and asked.
This topic aroused the thinking of Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi. This is a question that the emperor should think about.
Xu Qin took a sip of wine, then continued to cut the meat, giving each of the three emperors a piece, and let them think about it slowly for three generations.
"Wara and Tatar?" Zhu Zhanji asked.
"Your grandpa wiped out the scabies disease. No matter how hard you work, nothing will happen to the Mongols." Xu Qin said nonchalantly.
"What about me, am I just going to eat and wait to die?" Prince Zhu Gaochi was unwilling.
Xu Qinxin said, I'm afraid it's really nothing to do with you, and you haven't been there for long.
"Isn't it good? If you have a good father and a good son, you can win by lying down. It is called lying down and winning." Xu Qin said enviously.
"You're the winner. You mean I can't do it, or I can't do it. Cut off the sheep's tail for me." Zhu Gaochi has been coveting the fat and tender sheep tail for a long time.
"Is that Japanese pirates harassing the coast?" Zhu Zhanji asked.
"That's nothing. Your grandfather doesn't need to take action in this matter. Your father and I will deal with them." Xu Qin brought the prince with him this time.
"Oh, is it my business this time?" Zhu Gaochi asked happily as he took the sheep's tail.
As a result, seeing Zhu Di's eyes, he handed it over obediently.
"If you don't want to worry about it, just leave it to me. I'll make it impossible for those little devils to live or die. Kneel down and call you dad every day."
Xu Qin cut another fat and tender part for the prince, and the prince became happy.
"Is there someone rebelling? Or is the emperor imposing excessive taxes?" Zhu Zhanji looked like he had drunk too much, so he really dared to say that.
Zhu Di slapped him on the head angrily.
"That's nonsense. When did grandpa start imposing excessive taxes?" Zhu Di pretended to be angry.
"Just kidding, just kidding." Zhu Zhanji said quickly.
"Forget it, your little head can't think of it. It's all about land and population. It's all about land and population." Xu Qin started his second deception mode.
Zhu Di was thoughtful, and Zhu Gaochi shook his head.
"The Taizu Dynasty has been peaceful for decades now. Generally speaking, it is peaceful. Except for the few sheepherders in the north who are not quiet, it may continue to be peaceful in the future. This is peaceful. Not only do the people live longer, but they also risk their lives to have children. "
Xu Qin cut himself a piece of sheep neck and said.
"In the past, a family had three children, now a family has four children, and in the future there may be five or six children. Counting from the Hongwu Dynasty, those three have already given birth to four, and these twelve are planning to give birth to five or six children each. How many more children will you have in twenty years?"
Xu Qin asked.
"Isn't it a good thing to have more people?" Zhu Gaochi suddenly asked.
"Yes, more people is a good thing. But the prerequisite is that there is enough land. There is no problem with His Majesty's generation, no problem with the Prince's generation, but what about Zhanji's generation? What about after three generations? This does not count as land annexation."
Xu Qin said.
"The contradiction between man and earth, if coupled with the excesses of the emperor and the emperor, I am afraid that the officials will force the people to rebel." Zhu Di said, stroking his beard.
"I bring an umbrella with me and a lot of food. I think that while we are all here, we should save more wealth for our children and grandchildren. Even if they are prodigal, they can survive for two more years. If a ZTE leader emerges, they can survive for hundreds of years. "
Xu Qin made a concluding speech, as if ruling the world was no different from living a normal life.
Wang Zhong was sweating coldly. Young Master, you are not satisfied with playing with knives in front of the emperor. How dare you secretly talk about the luck of the dynasty?
"You are just a person who lives a good life. Is Japan a good place?" Zhu Di asked, stroking his beard.
He felt that what Xu Qin said had a lot to do with his attitude towards Japan.
"Calculate the place, the silver, gold, sulfur, saltpeter, copper and iron, and even the population of the Japanese country. These are the things that our Ming Dynasty urgently needs. I have improved the fire blunderbuss. With this gunpowder, it is a bottomless pit. I am afraid that more saltpeter and sulfur should be stored. .”
Xu Qin said.
"Are you thinking like a robber? All other people's things are good, so we are going to snatch them away?" Zhu Gaochi said.
"Otherwise? Didn't our ancestors all do this? Prince, don't listen to those scholars who say that there are three emperors and five emperors, and Yao, Shun, and Yu Tang. They are all deceived by Confucius. How big is the territory of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and how many people were there in the era of Yao, Shun, and Yu Tang?
The Zhou Dynasty was so good, why did it perish? Confucius was a saint, so let's forget about running the country. Moreover, his disciples are all crooked monks. What good sutras can they recite? I don’t understand that their ancestors didn’t even figure out how to govern the country, so they figured it out themselves? "
Xu Qin still respected Confucius, but he had better forget it about his disciples who were stubborn in their ways.
"That's nonsense. How can an unlearned person like you understand the way of a saint? Don't bring up a bad child." Zhu Di reprimanded Xu Qin.
"Your Majesty, to be honest, I only know one thing. I am very happy when others learn to restrain themselves and return to etiquette, because I can bully them unscrupulously." Xu Qin said.
"If you don't learn, no one will force you, but you can't attack the knowledge of saints." Zhu Di warned him.
"What other good places are there?" Zhu Gaochi asked.
"There are too many. Not to mention Japan, a place across the sea, even if you go south, there are good places like the Chief Minister and the Chief Minister. The food in that area is two to three crops. If you cultivate it well, how many people can you feed?
If that kind of place is well run, it will be no worse than Lianghu. Therefore, His Majesty's attack on Annan is a far-sighted and truly strategic plan for his descendants.
We can build a Confucian academy there. Don't those scholars talk about the great unity of the world every day? Let them teach there, and then hold the imperial examination, and let the students who are the chief ministers come to take the examination and become officials. I think Wang Zhang is good. "
Xu Qin directly took the private goods and avenged himself.
"You still have the nerve to say that your slave throws dog shit at the door every day, and Wang Zhang has reported it to Yingtian Mansion. You should do some personnel matters. Also, Wang Zhang has already gone on a mission to Japan, so don't worry about it ”
Zhu Di said angrily.
"Oh, thank you so much, Your Majesty. Who else has been scolding me recently?" Xu Qin thought about it carefully, but it seemed that he didn't.
Zhu Gaochi almost spat out a mouthful of wine. Is it so obvious for you to avenge a private vendetta?
"You've gone too far." Zhu Gaochi said.
"Well, it's a bit hazy. Your Majesty, let's not kill this scholar if he breaks the law. He will be sent directly to the Chief Envoy of Cochin to convert foreigners and establish a school there.
We need to help Annan officials to give them hope, especially the local aristocratic families, so that they will not rebel. Three or two generations later, they themselves thought they were Ming people. "
Xu Qin began to come up with bad ideas about cultural invasion.
"Father, this is a good idea." Zhu Gaochi nodded and said.
Zhu Di suddenly thought of Jianwen Dynasty and those thorns. It's not just Annan, it can be done by all the government envoys and envoys.
"We can also pay for local students to come to the Imperial College to study. This will drain out all the local talents and leave no one to lead the rebellion."
Xu Qin said sinisterly.
"What do you want to do to keep the Dai family?" Zhu Di finally asked this question.
"Your Majesty, the Dai family are Japanese pirates. That Dai Demin has already confessed. The Dai family has colluded with the Japanese pirates who robbed the coast.
They provide intelligence to these Japanese pirates and even sell stolen goods. They have the blood of Ming people on their hands. Killing them a hundred times is not enough. But their main purpose was to support the Ming Dynasty in the south of Japan and oppose the Ashikaga Shogunate. "
Xu Qin said slowly.
"So you want to take advantage of this to create civil strife in Japan?" Zhu Gaochi felt his head was a little numb.
This guy is doing business that will cost the country.
"Japan is too far away. We will waste our people and money by attacking them. Besides, the people in the north are not quiet either. It is better to support agents and let them attack us and provide weapons. We will help whoever is weak. Then transport their resources to the Ming Dynasty."
Xu Qin said.
After hearing this, Zhu Gaochi almost covered Zhu Zhanji's ears. This is too insidious and not the normal way to govern a country.
"You can handle Japan's affairs with full authority from now on. I can trust you." Zhu Di's triangular eyes flashed coldly.
"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not that simple with the Dai family. It's not because I dare not touch them, but it's another matter."
Xu Qin said.
