Daming: At the beginning, recognize Zhu Yuanzhang as grandfather!

Chapter 110 What Do You Think of Your Fourth Uncle?
Zhu Yuanzhang specially brought Zhu Xiongying here this time, just to let him take a good look at the most authentic side of the Ming Dynasty.

He knew that this kid had heart and ability, but sometimes, his ideas were too aggressive.

Too eager to change some bad things in Daming.

Just like the issue of dealing with Japanese pirates, Zhu Yuanzhang thought it would be enough to get rid of the Japanese pirates along the coast, but he knew that his grandson wanted to wipe out the entire Japanese kingdom.

There is also the issue of business. They may have discussed it many times, but he knows that his grandson has no intention of giving up his business development.

If one day he dies, this brat will definitely be turned upside down.

Becoming an emperor means keeping promises.

Every choice is related to the life and death of all the people in the world. If you act recklessly, it may cause a catastrophe if you are not careful.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang must let Zhu Xiongying see what the real Ming Dynasty is like, what kind of choices are beneficial to the people, and what kind of choices will harm the people. He hopes that Zhu Xiongying can think about these things clearly.

Very happy.

This can be said to be a common problem of every generation of ambitious emperors.

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to have done the best.

He got the world right away, full of iron and blood, but after he got the world, he put his focus on restoring the stability of Ming Dynasty. He was very cautious in using troops, and even listed the countries that would not be conquered. .

Just like Zhu Di later, he was a great emperor.

Three expeditions to Mobei, seven voyages to the West, and compilation of the Yongle Canon. Although they have made extraordinary achievements, they also consumed a huge amount of national power and people's resources. If it weren't for the fat Zhu Gaochi who did his best to help him take care of the rear, Daming would not know what he wasted. Sample?

Zhu Yuanzhang is obviously also aware of these problems, so he earnestly taught in the emperor's ancestral precepts to be cautious in going in and out, and to be cautious in state affairs. He hoped that his children and grandchildren would put the Zhu family's country as the most important thing, and the people of Ming Dynasty as the most important.

Many of Zhu Xiongying's proposals surprised him, but some of them were too bold, so he hoped that his grandson could analyze the problem down-to-earth.

Instead of slapping your head, we will open a tea-horse trade today, and support business tomorrow.

Zhu Xiongying didn't know what the old man meant.

He knows that many of his ideas for future generations are shocking even to the wisest people of this age.

He has good ideas, but these ideas are only good if they are truly adapted to this era.

There are not a few innovators in history.

Shang Yang's reform, Wang Mang's reform, Wang Anshi's reform, Zhang Juzheng's reform, and the Reform Movement of [-], but which one can really succeed?
So, as a time traveler from later generations, he still has a lot to learn...

On the carriage to Jubao Villa.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying who was thinking, and said with a smile: "My grandson, those ministers, especially those civil servants, are often pedantic. We can see that many of your ideas are very likely to be at odds with them. At that time, you have to know how to distinguish which ones are good and which ones are bad."

"Take us as an example. When we wanted to invite Mencius out of the Confucian Temple, how many literati opposed us, but how many ministers opposed us when we wanted to depose the Ministry of Education? They may not be bad, and some literati's backbone even makes us admire. But we think it’s right, so we’re determined to do it!”

"For example, this time, when you proposed to open a tea-horse trade market in Annan, many ministers came to our place to complain, saying that your idea was too exaggerated and flashy."

"But we think you are right, even if we think you are wrong, we will support you, do you know why?"

"Because this is the first decision you make after becoming the emperor's grandson. We can't let them reject you. We need to let them know that the words of our great grandson represent our words. There is no doubt about it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke lightly, and Zhu Xiongying couldn't help but feel a little moved.

"Grandpa, grandson will definitely not let you down!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and continued: "We know, so today I will take you out for a walk, just to tell you that you have the ability and vision, but no matter what, you must not forget the people, they are the people. The foundation of my Ming Dynasty!"

"Ah."

Zhu Xiongying nodded heavily.

Daming is very powerful, but there are still many problems and contradictions. Now that the old man is still around, no matter what he does, he is confident.

But once the old man is gone, no one will support him unconditionally. At that time, he will have as many things to worry about as the old man now, and he needs to face all the resistance.

Just like the old man said, he is not the emperor of the ministers, he is the emperor of the people in the world!
……

The grandfather and grandson were talking, and the carriage had already arrived at the Zhuangzi at the foot of Jubao Mountain.

Zhu Xiongying helped the old man get off the carriage.

It is still a familiar gate.

The dog in front of the door wagged its tail and ran to the old man's feet in a flattering manner.

Zhu Yuanzhang touched the dog's head with a smile, and said with some emotion: "Oh, it's been a while since I've been here, it's really nostalgic."

Saying that, he walked in with Zhu Xiongying.

At this time, Lao Xu also rushed out from the house: "My lord, you are here!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Lao Xu hurriedly led the grandpa and grandson into the house, then went down and brought up a pot of charcoal.

This place is different from the imperial palace, which has warm pavilions, but here we can only rely on charcoal to keep out the cold.

Then, Lao Xu went down to boil water and make tea

, In this cold weather, drink a sip of hot tea to warm your body.

But when he brought the tea, the grandpa and grandson were no longer in the room.

Old Xu smiled wryly, he knew that His Highness Huangsun must have taken the old emperor to the field.

In the glass greenhouse in the ground.

Looking at the lush green fruits and vegetables in the shed, Zhu Yuanzhang took a few deep breaths.

"Da Sun, you really can grow vegetables in winter!"

Zhu Xiongying grinned, and said quite proudly: "Grandpa, grandson told you that grandson is a good farmer, don't you believe me!"

"Ha ha!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed loudly: "Our eldest grandson is really a genius! It is grandpa who underestimated you!"

He really found that his eldest grandson seemed to be much stronger than he had imagined.

He already thinks highly of his grandson, but now it seems that it is not enough.

Maybe his great grandson can really bring out a Ming that is completely different from the previous dynasties, a Ming that is more powerful than any other dynasties!
Zhu Xiongying smiled and said: "But the cost of this kind of glass greenhouse is very high nowadays, and ordinary people are not able to build it, but as my country becomes stronger and stronger, my grandson believes that one day, It will definitely allow the people of Ming Dynasty to eat fresh vegetables in the cold winter!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded heavily: "Grandpa believes it too!"

In the past, he felt that Zhu Xiongying was talking too much. After all, his words were always so shocking, but he found more and more that those shocking words of his grandson had gradually come true.

For example, his great-grandson said that it is necessary for the people of Ming Dynasty to eat clean salt. Once the salt mine in Zhuqiao Town is developed, it will really be possible.

Also, his grandson told him before that he wanted to grow vegetables in winter, and now he has done it too.

There are also bandits and disaster relief, his great grandson has done it all.

It seems that the tea and horse trade market opened in Annan this time is probably also his deliberation!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had always had a bright eye, felt that he couldn't see through his grandson.

"Huh, watermelon?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the few confiscated watermelons left in the field. After being surprised, he couldn't help smiling: "These are the watermelons that the fourth brother swallowed, right? Good guy, it's big enough, and it's hard enough for the fourth brother!"

Zhu Xiongying scratched his head and said: "The grandson didn't know he was the fourth uncle at that time, so the flood rushed into the Dragon King Temple, and his own people beat their own people."

"Ah--"

Zhu Yuanzhang chuckled and said, "It's not your fault. If you want to blame it, it's your fourth uncle. He obviously knows your identity. He went to inquire about you without telling us. He is dishonest!"

Zhu Xiongying didn't know what to say.

Because most of the records about Zhu Di in history are the battle of Jingnan and the deeds after he proclaimed himself emperor.

Before that, Zhu Di was conscientious, defending the frontier for Daming.

If Zhu Yunqi hadn't carried out a violent cut of the vassal, would Zhu Di have rebelled?

But history has no ifs, no one knows what will happen!

Zhu Di's military ability is not inferior to that of Sapphire.

He has saved Lan Yu, so why can't he tolerate his fourth uncle?

Zhu Xiongying was a little confused.

From the perspective of future generations, he should try to get rid of Zhu Di, but he also feels it is a pity.

Zhu Di can be called the God of War of Ming Dynasty, and he is also his own uncle, and the relationship between his father and him is also very good.

And the last thing the old man wants to see in his life is the Zhu family's brother killing each other.

Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, I intend to keep you, but you must not show your face, otherwise it will not be as simple as eating melon next time.

Just as he was thinking, he saw the old man looking at him, and said quietly: "Dasun, what do you think of your fourth uncle?"
