Zhu Yuanzhang's words were cold and direct.

The murderous intention that had been suppressed by Su Jing also surged out again.

"Your Majesty, be careful what you say!"

Liu Bowen immediately knelt down towards Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head and glanced at Liu Bowen and said, "Then tell me, isn't the meaning of Su Jing's words aimed at me?"

Liu Bowen's expression condensed. Of course he knew what Su Jing meant by these words.

It was not directed at Zhu Yuanzhang, but at the feudal monarchy.

The existence of the emperor is wrong.

The feudal system based on private ownership of land is wrong.

But can this be said?

Zhu Yuanzhang conquered this great world, and then you told him that the feudal monarchy was wrong?

Shouldn't you be the emperor?

Isn't this a joke?

Liu Bowen immediately said: "I cannot see through Mr. Su's talent. Your Majesty may ask Mr. Su."

Since you can't say it, you can only pretend to be stupid.

"Ah."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and continued: "Then tell me, can my Ming Dynasty be established forever?"

Liu Bowen did not hesitate at all, and immediately kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty has great talents and great strategies, and the Ming Dynasty will be forever solid!"

No matter what Su Jing said, anyway, in front of Zhu Yuanzhang now, it is right to follow Zhu Yuanzhang's wishes.

This is actually a disguised admission of defeat by Liu Bowen.

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "Bo Wen, I understand. It doesn't have to be like this."

Liu Bowen remained silent, just kneeling and not speaking.

"But I don't believe it. I was the one who defeated this Ming Dynasty. It's destiny that belongs to me, and no fate can stop it."

Zhu Yuanzhang said extremely domineeringly.

After all, he is a man who rose from nothing to the position of the Nine-Five Greatest.

Liu Bowen replied: "Your Majesty, as everyone hopes, will surely make the Ming Dynasty prosperous for generations to come."

"You should get up first."

Zhu Yuanzhang still showed no expression and asked Liu Bowen to stand up from his knees.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Liu Bowen breathed a sigh of relief, okay, okay.

"In response to the two points Su Jing mentioned, the conflict between man and land and the annexation of land, Bowen, do you have any good ideas?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked. At this time, he became the diligent and inquisitive emperor again.

The face changes faster than the weather.

Liu Bowen is accustomed to it, and he knows very well that accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger.

"Your Majesty, we can solve this problem of conflict between man and land."

Liu Bowen replied: "Nowadays, the Ming Dynasty is full of waste and there is a lot of abandoned land. As long as we vigorously cultivate it, we will be safe for at least a hundred years."

After hearing this answer, Zhu Yuanzhang's face improved a little and said: "Yes, the Ming Dynasty has not yet reached the time to consider too many people, and wasteland reclamation also requires a large number of people."

What Su Jing said was only about the future after all.

When considering the actual problems, what Zhu Yuanzhang can see at the moment is not that serious.

“What about land annexation?”

Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

Liu Bowen pondered for a while and said: "This matter is closely related to the land tax law. I dare not make false statements. I still need to think carefully."

In an agricultural society, land is the basis for determining taxation.

Even Liu Bowen didn't dare to give any opinions at this moment.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had always thought about what kind of land system should be implemented in the Ming Dynasty.

His current idea is to adopt a farming system, which is mainly divided into military villages, civilian villages and commercial villages.

However, it is still a temporary standard in various places, and there is no formal decree.

At first, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his policy of farmland system was extremely perfect, because he had already tried it when he was the king of Wu, and the effect was good.

But now seeing the land annexation issue mentioned by Su Jing, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think about whether there was any problem with his farmland system.

"Your Majesty, I think that since Mr. Su has such insight, he must have a solution. Maybe I can ask Mr. Su for advice."

Liu Bowen had already changed his name and called Su Jing Mr. Su.

"Of course I know."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Okay, go down."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Liu Bowen cupped his hands and retreated slowly.

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, but then spoke again: "Bo Wen, Su Jing's words must not be spread outside."

Liu Bowen paused, bent even lower, and replied, "I understand."

Although the Ming Dynasty was established, there were actually many foreign troubles.

If Su Jing's remarks were known by someone with intentions and spread them widely, it would shake the foundation of Ming Dynasty's rule.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous thoughts arose again.

Su Jing is really too dangerous.

"Chongpachi, I made you some soup. State affairs are important, but your health is also important."

Queen Ma walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang with a bowl of soup.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw Queen Ma, he immediately thought of those shoes, and the murderous thoughts in his heart disappeared quietly.

"Sister, you are already a queen. Just leave soup making to the royal chef."

Zhu Yuanzhang said this, but he drank the soup very quickly.

After a few sips, the bowl of soup was finished.

Queen Ma smiled and said, "I'm not too old to move. Besides, I know your taste best."

"That is."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said, "Only girls can make me feel at ease."

"Why, what trouble did you encounter again?"

Queen Ma asked while putting away the bowl: "Is it the remnant of Bei Yuan or our Biao'er?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "The remnants of Bei Yuan are just minor troubles and will be removed by me one day. Now Biao'er can share my worries. He will definitely be a good emperor in the future. I'm not too worried."

Compared with those theories mentioned by Su Jing, whether it is the remnant party of the Northern Yuan Dynasty or the prince Zhu Biao, it is nothing at all.

Empress Ma understood immediately and said, "That's Mr. Su's business. I guess he must have said something shocking again."

"My sister just met Mr. Su once, but she knows him so well?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised, he never mentioned Su Jing.

Empress Ma smiled and said: "Chongba, I don't know Mr. Su, I know you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang understood and said with a smile: "Sister, you understand me!"

Empress Ma spoke earnestly: "Chongba, I don't know what Mr. Su said, but the Mr. Su I heard from you and met myself is definitely a good man with great talent, learning, and good character."

"Chongba, you are the emperor. As long as you are not a criminal, you must be tolerant of others, let alone a great talent like Mr. Su."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked into Queen Ma's eyes and nodded: "Sister, I understand, I won't do anything to Su Jing."

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's last hidden murderous intention was also resolved by Queen Ma.

"That's good, I won't say much else."

Queen Ma nodded and was about to leave when a Gongwei Lang from the Gongwei Department had already arrived outside Fengxian Hall.

"Gongwei Lang, please see me."

An eunuch came to Zhu Yuanzhang and said.

"Xuan."

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said that he knew that his son Zhu Biao had another letter.

Queen Ma also stopped. She also wanted to know how Zhu Biao was doing.

Soon, Gong Weilang came in carrying a bag of potatoes:

"Your Majesty, this is the prince's letter, as well as this generation of things. His Royal Highness the prince specifically asked his subordinates to bring them."

The eunuch immediately took the letter and handed it to Zhu Yuanzhang, and the bag of potatoes was also placed on the ground.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't wait to open the letter and read it, feeling quite nervous inside.

He was afraid that Zhu Biao's letter would contain Su Jing's shocking remarks again. There were already enough problems.

But after he read the letter, his expression suddenly became overjoyed, especially when it came to the cultivation and yield of potatoes.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but said:

"Well done to you, Su Jing!"
