The emergence of new productivity tools means social changes.
Su Jing's plain words made Zhu Biao look at him with wide eyes.
Social change means the destruction of the feudal dynasty.
The feudal dynasty is gone, can the Ming Dynasty still exist?
Zhu Biao really didn't expect that the final result of solving the contradiction between man and earth would be like this.
"Su Jing, is this the only way?"
Zhu Biao said in a daze.
Su Jing shook her head and said: "At least I don't know any other way."
He knew that what he said must have a huge impact on Zhu Biao.
However, this is reality.
"But don't worry too much. Although the method I mentioned can indeed solve the problem of natural disasters, it is too difficult to implement."
Su Jing continued: "From slash-and-burn farming to iron plow and ox farming, it took thousands of years to develop."
"The birth of a new productivity tool is not that easy."
"So, my method, currently, is just an unattainable fantasy."
Su Jing knew that farming with iron plows and oxen brought about an agricultural revolution.
The emergence and widespread use of the steam engine heralded the first industrial revolution.
But as of now, the Ming Dynasty does not have the conditions for an industrial revolution.
The centralized system of feudalism destined the self-sufficient small peasant economy.
For the industrial revolution, the development of science and technology is the most important.
Although Su Jing knew some simple physics knowledge, it was not systematic and could not change anything.
Therefore, in his opinion, his method is actually a fantasy.
Neither internal nor external conditions are allowed.
Zhu Biao didn't listen much to Su Jing's comfort.
He was now stuck in a dilemma of choice.
If you want the people not to be displaced by natural disasters, then you have to choose to speed up the destruction of the Ming Dynasty.
Dilemma!
How to do it?
Ask your father?
Zhu Biao himself could imagine what the result would be.
According to his father's character, the Ming Dynasty must last forever, and the world must always belong to the Zhu family.
This natural disaster more than two hundred years after the Ming Dynasty also needs to be solved.
However, Su Jing's words were quite clear.
This is impossible.
On one side are the common people, on the other side is the world of the Zhu family of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Biao was at a loss.
at the same time.
Inside the Fengxian Hall of the Forbidden City.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da were reviewing a hand-drawn map.
"Your Majesty, this picture is really good. I wonder if I can make a copy of it."
Xu Da said to Zhu Yuanzhang.
As the first military general in the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da knew the importance of maps.
Although this picture is only a rough outline, it still has strategic value.
This picture is the map of Asia that Su Jing drew casually when she was teaching Zhu Biao about climate.
Su Jing marked very few things, only a few big rivers and some mountains.
At that time, he just did it casually. He didn't expect that Zhu Biao would write it down and spread it to the palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Brother Xu, don't worry, I still know this very well. The map has been prepared for a long time. When I return home, I can just take a copy with me."
Zhu Yuanzhang has always regarded this fellow countryman whom he had known since childhood as a brother.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Xu Da said respectfully: "I just don't know who drew this map, but it even includes Rakshasa and other remote places."
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "Who else is there? It's Su Jing."
Su Jing!
Xu Da's expression changed slightly and he immediately said: "Su Jing still has such talent?"
As far as Xu Da knows, what Su Jing is good at is not known to be map-based.
Moreover, Su Jing was so far away and quite young. How did he know?
I can't go to all of them.
If you just heard about it, then being able to draw such a map is quite impressive!
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly: "Yeah, I'm also very curious about what this kid Su Jing has in his head. He seems to know a little bit about everything."
Astronomy and geography, changes in ancient and modern times, longevity of dynasties, agricultural cultivation, business theory, and divination.
It seems that there is nothing that Su Jing can't do.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty."
Xu Da immediately congratulated Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned, looked at Xu Da and said: "Brother Xu, what do you mean by this? Why are you so happy?"
Xu Da said: "Mr. Su knows everything and teaches the prince. Isn't this worthy of happiness?"
Xu Da had previously suspected that Su Jing might be resented by Zhu Yuanzhang and her future was uncertain.
But now it sounds like Su Jing should be fine.
No, not just okay.
Su Jing's weight in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is probably quite high.
"Hahaha!"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "Brother Xu, you think too highly of Su Jing. He can also teach the prince."
No matter how powerful Su Jing was, Zhu Yuanzhang never regarded him as a master.
Maybe it was because Su Jing choked her too many times when they first met.
Or maybe Zhu Yuanzhang, as the emperor, would never let himself be mentally weaker than anyone else.
He is the Ninth Five Supreme Being. No matter how powerful Su Jing is, he is only a citizen of the Ming Dynasty.
Xu Da didn't say anything, he naturally had his own judgment.
After the small talk, Zhu Yuanzhang also expressed his true intention to Xu Da, the Northern Expedition!
Although the last Northern Expedition was successful, the remaining remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were not completely eliminated.
To deal with these remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, we must continue to attack them.
Of course, having just experienced the Northern Expedition, Ming Dynasty also needed to rest and recuperate. Zhu Yuanzhang was talking about plans for next year.
"Brother Xu, what do you think of this time next spring?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked Xu Da.
Xu Da immediately said: "I will live up to your majesty's trust!"
Xu Da has never been afraid of this kind of thing.
In the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da always regarded himself as a lonely minister. No matter which party he was from, he never deliberately approached him.
Even Prince Zhu Biao still maintains the distance that should be maintained.
Xu Da's object of allegiance has always been Zhu Yuanzhang.
He also knew his identity very well. Even though Zhu Yuanzhang treated him as a brother, he never overstepped in any way.
It can be said that the Xu family's family tradition was passed down from Xu Da.
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you, Brother Xu."
Zhu Yuanzhang said very satisfied.
The court needs courtiers like Xu Da.
After finishing the matter, Xu Da did not stay too long and left with the map copy prepared by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his desk and took out Zhu Biao's reply.
Looking at the thick letter, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little surprised.
Is there so much to say this time?
But what needs to be seen is what needs to be seen.
Zhu Yuanzhang opened the letter and began to read it carefully.
This incident was brought up about the businessman Zhou Ming.
Zhu Biao briefly described the situation and wrote Su Jing's reaction clearly.
"Not bad, what Su Jing said makes sense."
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw what Su Jing said, if Zhou Ming was not targeting him but other businessmen, he nodded in agreement.
Su Jing sees the problem very clearly.
After that, Zhu Biao asked Su Jing for advice on corporate anti-corruption.
Article by article, articles by articles.
With Zhu Biao's own understanding.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed from time to time.
In terms of anti-corruption, he believes that he has made great efforts.
All kinds of torture, not too many.
but!
In front of Su Jing's set of corporate anti-corruption theories, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he was simply weak.
"This is indeed good and makes sense!"
"Su Jing's method is really groundbreaking!"
"Why didn't I think of that!"
The more Zhu Yuanzhang watched, the more fascinated he became. Corruption was the thing he hated most, and anti-corruption was naturally his favorite thing to do.
Su Jing's anti-corruption concepts in modern corporate management are simply a dimensionality reduction attack when applied to ancient times.
However, the content regarding financial supervision and review was a bit too professional, and Zhu Yuanzhang could not fully understand it.
Fortunately, Zhu Biao also stated in the letter that these are what he and Su Jing study the most on weekdays.
If Zhu Biao knows it, it means that Lao Zhu knows it himself.
"Hahahahaha!"
Zhu Yuanzhang became happier and happier as he watched, and his face was almost crooked with a smile.
Although these seem to be just on paper, Zhu Yuanzhang is convinced that once implemented, there will be very good results.
"Chongba, why are you so happy?"
Queen Ma's voice came, and she walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang with a soup.
Zhu Yuanzhang was too busy with government affairs on weekdays, and sometimes he didn't have time to eat. That was what Queen Ma cared about the most.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Sister, the letter Biao'er just sent back, this Su Jing really wins my heart!"
"Oh, what did Mr. Su say again?"
Queen Ma became interested.
Most of the time, Su Jing would make Zhu Yuanzhang itch with hatred.
Now I am so happy again, which is kind of interesting.
"You'll know for yourself when you see it."
Zhu Yuanzhang then handed the contents of anti-corruption to Queen Ma.
Queen Ma scanned it briefly, and then showed a rather shocked expression: "Mr. Su's methods are really quite good."
Lao Zhu hated corruption, and Queen Ma was quite supportive of it.
Even some of Lao Zhu's anti-corruption methods were inspired by Queen Ma's advice.
Seeing Su Jing's anti-corruption ideas and methods, Queen Ma felt quite shocked.
This is a fundamental difference in philosophy.
Whether it is Lao Zhu or Queen Ma, the anti-corruption method they think of is to use heavy laws to deter corruption after catching it, so as to achieve the goal of anti-corruption.
Su Jing's anti-corruption concept is to make it more difficult for corrupt people to commit corruption from the perspective of prevention.
While this shocked Queen Ma, she also realized that she and Zhu Yuanzhang might have gone in the wrong direction.
And when she saw what Su Jing said, corruption is human nature and cannot be eradicated, she especially agreed.
"Sister."
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly changed and he said, "Do you think this Su Jing has ever been a corrupt official? Otherwise, how could he know how to be corrupt so well!"
