Chapter 1739 5 Disadvantages

Of course, although Kong Zhenyun has a bad temper, he is not a fool.

Naturally, just because Zhang Shun came up with a novel concept, he would not abandon his previous code of conduct and go through life and death for it.

Sure enough, after hearing Zhang Shunzhi's words, the old man couldn't help but asked again: "The division of feudalism and the founding of the country, Zhou's evil system. Liuhe Dong's "On Feudalism" is deeply discussed. I don't know what your Highness thinks about it?"

What Lao Shizi's "Feudalism"?Zhang Shun had heard of it, but hadn't read it.

But fortunately, he has his own "wrong theory": "This time is also, that time is also!"

"Since the Western Zhou Dynasty, the feudal lords have risen together, Qin followed the law of Shang Yang, set up prefectures and counties to annex the six countries, and it has been 2000 years!"

"This method is certainly the best in China. However, the barbarians don't know the teachings of sages, so they have no choice but to listen to them!"

"For example, the guards at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and today's chieftains, Gaimo is an exception!"

It turns out that the Weisuo system followed by the chieftain system in the Ming Dynasty was, to some extent, a variant of the feudalization and state building in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty.

It's just that due to the different times, the "Gingji" in the Ming Dynasty was extremely powerful. Except for a few chieftains who rebelled, most of the guards and chieftains were quite honest.

"That husband is thousands of miles away, how does His Highness plan to stop it?" As soon as Zhang Shun said this, Kong Zhenyun was not entangled in this, but asked instead.

"Restrain it? Why do you want to restrain it?" Zhang Shun couldn't help laughing.

"If you don't take it today, future generations will worry about your descendants!" Kong Zhenyun said with a smile, quoting a sentence from "The Analects of Confucius".

The history of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period tells us that if you can't control the princes of various places, then there is only one end to the enfeoffment system. Raising Gu will produce a Gu King, and then swallow you completely.

"The capital of the Western Zhou Dynasty is only a thousand miles away, and it is not as big as the feudal lords. How can it be undefeated?" Zhang said by the way.

"Today, my China is nothing more than thousands of miles, with billions of people. If we can have enough food, soldiers and trust, this sincerity can control the world!"

"How can we have enough food, soldiers and trust?" Kong Zhenyun asked again after hearing the words.

"There are five evils in the world today!" Zhang Shun stretched his five fingers and couldn't help gesticulating, "One said: The poor have no place to stand. People depend on food, and the poor have no place to stand. Naturally, the world is in chaos."

"There are two methods, one is to make up for the excess of damage, and the other is to make up for the deficiency. Those who have suffered more than the damage will take the old land of the royal family of the previous dynasty to comfort the people; those who make up for the deficiency, although Liaodong is bitter and cold, it is also rich in fertile land. The peasants of the land plow it, countless, and they are all fertile fields!"

Originally, the Liaodong area was developed under the Ming Dynasty, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty, agriculture had been extremely developed.

As a result, with the "efforts" of the two generations of Laonu and Hongtai, it has already become a situation of thousands of miles of wasteland and the people's livelihood.

Now that Liaodong is coming down, it is a matter of course to re-immigrate and enrich Liaodong.

As for the Jilin, Heilongjiang, and eastern Mongolia areas in later generations, since they are almost all wasteland, it is naturally not an overnight achievement.

"Second: The ban on the sea. Since Ming Chengzu went to the West, many seas were banned in the previous dynasty, and the people along the coast have suffered."

"When the power of the imperial court is weakened, smuggling is rampant and the imperial court cannot benefit from it. This is also the disadvantage of the previous Ming Dynasty." Zhang Shun continued.

"Therefore, the king ordered the sea to be opened, and the three alliances of the imperial court, the merchants, and the maritime merchants, and the three families shared the profits, thinking that it would be a long-term plan to change the disadvantages of Chengzu's dominance in the early Ming Dynasty."

"Okay, this is good!" Kong Zhenyun nodded in satisfaction after hearing Zhang Shun's words.

After all, the fact that Ming Chengzu and others took pepper and sumac for their salaries is still vivid, which made the bureaucrats linger in fear.

Now that Zhang Shun has decided on a profit sharing strategy for the three companies, at least everyone's salary is guaranteed, isn't it?
"Three said: Emphasize agriculture and restrain business." Zhang Shun laughed again.

"According to my king, the iron in Shanxi is made into needles, which can be sold in Korea and Japan in the east, and sold in the west of Turpan in the west. The people can live without farming or cropping."

"The people of Hangzhou and Ningbo buy raw silk, silk, tea and other things from other places, and then go to sea, and the profits are multiplied. They can be called rich."

"The former Ming Dynasty did not take this as an advantage, but let it go, which is actually a great disadvantage to the country."

"In my king's opinion, since the outer sea is opened, the inner river, the inner sea, and post roads can all be opened for merchants to enter and exit."

"The people get their benefits, and the court gets their money."

"It's a matter of course!" Kong Zhenyun didn't say anything, but nodded in conviction.

It turns out that the economic base determines the superstructure. Since the end of Ming Dynasty, a group of scholars represented by Zhang Shenyan have realized the importance of commerce and began to advocate that "business is the foundation", which also has a certain influence.

Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in Shandong, Qi State has been rich with "the benefits of fish and salt".

Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Kong Zhenyun, who was born in Shandong, did not have much prejudice against this.

But he still frowned and reminded: "Food is the most important thing for the people. If all the people in the world go after profit and destroy the land, there will be a heinous crime!"

Today there are many natural disasters, even since he came to Beijing, Shaanxi, Shanxi and other places have not known how many disasters have been reported. Of course Zhang is well aware of this.

He laughed when he heard the words: "There is not enough food, so there are natural disasters and man-made disasters, and there are more people and less land. This is also the fourth disadvantage of the previous Ming Dynasty, and it is also the original intention of my so-called 'colonial expansion'!"

"Although Liaodong is vast today, it is only a large province in China. If we go further north to reclaim wasteland, it will only increase by one or two."

"I heard that the land of Merika in the north and south has fertile land and few people. Westerners call it the New World to distinguish it from the Old World!"

"When the sea routes are cleared, if we can immigrate with one, two, three, it will not lose the strategy of long-term stability!"

"Ah, this..." Kong Zhenyun couldn't help being surprised when he heard this.

This is a big matter, and according to his knowledge, he couldn't tell the pros and cons of it for a while.

This sounds like a good thing, but China has always been to attract people, there is no reason to push people out?
"Fifth Day: Keep slaves and maidservants!" Seeing that Kong Zhenyun was silent, Zhang Shun continued to narrate.

"At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, all industries were in decline. Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, only allowed officials to raise slaves and maidservants, and the rest were not allowed."

"However, today's wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River often keep hundreds of thousands of slaves. This is really against the teachings of saints, and it is not tolerated by kings."

"This king wants to release all slaves, maidservants and untouchables in the world, and promise to be a commoner, and make households equal to the people. I don't know how?"

"This is the way of a sincere sage!" Kong Zhenyun couldn't help praising after hearing the words.

No matter which dynasty or generation, the release of slaves and maidservants is also good governance.

Seeing Zhang Shun's courage, Kong Zhenyun couldn't help but praise him.

However, he still couldn't help reminding Zhang Shundao: "Your Highness certainly has good intentions, I am afraid that some people will misinterpret His Highness's meaning and cause disaster!"

"What disaster?" Most of the servants in the Jiangnan area have already fled. This time, I am going along with the flow and solving the problem at once. Why do you still talk like this?

"Liaodong!" Kong Zhenyun couldn't help stretching out his hand and pointing to the northeast.

"Oh? You said it was him!" Zhang Shun suddenly realized, and then sneered again.
