Immortality begins with Xiaoao

Chapter 19 Mr. Yu

"May I ask Brother Yu why the economic base determines the superstructure?"

After entering the room, Zhu Houzhao couldn't wait to ask Yu Fei.

Yu Fei looked at Zhu Houzhao in amazement, he didn't expect that this famous mischievous emperor in history could find the most important thing in his theory with such vicious eyes.

Only after thinking about how to express it can the other party understand it. After all, if you explain it directly to the other party in modern terms, there will definitely be more questions.

After a while, Yu Fei said:
"Another meaning of economic foundation is taxation. A country must have money to do things, but where does a country's money come from? Naturally, it is taxation. A healthy country can know the basic situation of each region through taxation. "

"For example, if a country wants to fight a war, does it have to have money and food, and the economic foundation is the basis for whether you can fight this war? Only with a certain economic foundation can we better formulate national policies and laws."

After thinking for a while, Zhu Houzhao continued to ask:
"Then if it is clear that the people have money, but the court has no money, why is that?"

Yu Fei smiled and replied decisively:
"Then the country is already sick."

Zhu Houzhao was taken aback for a moment, then said:
"are you sick?"

"Please tell me, sir."

After speaking, he got up and bowed to Yu Fei, Yu Fei didn't dare to accept it, he stepped aside and said:
"Brother Zhu doesn't have to be like this, I will definitely know everything."

"Okay, please give Mr. Yu advice."

Yu Fei secretly praised the prince's intelligence in his heart. From Brother Yu at the beginning to Mr. Yu now, the transformation is so natural, which is beyond human ability.

"From ancient times to the present, except for the Qin and Han Dynasties, when the country was most powerful, it was basically after the founding of the country and when the second emperor succeeded to the throne. The same is true for our dynasty. Brother Zhu, do you know why?"

Zhu Houzhao thought about it, and said cautiously:
"Because the second emperor is stronger?"

Yu Fei laughed, shook his head and said:
"Of course not. There are many powerful emperors. For example, His Majesty Xianzong, the first emperor, pulled Daming out of the abyss. Isn't he powerful? But when it comes to national power, whether it is national power or military power, compared with Emperor Taizong But it’s far from it.”

"Brother Zhu, do you know why?"

Zhu Houzhao shook his head resolutely, as if I don't know, but you said it.

Yu Fei smiled, and continued:

"That's because at the beginning of the founding of the country, after the great chaos in the world, when the power of the family was reduced to the weakest, when the power of the country was strong, and the emperor gave an order, no one in the world dared to obey and disobey, and the power can be used in one place, so it seems to be swept away. Invincible."

"But as time goes by, as long as there is a slightly weaker emperor in later generations, the power of the aristocratic family will start to rise. When the aristocratic family is powerful, it must seek power, and the pace of the aristocratic family's pursuit of power has its limit. After the limit, the desire for power will be transferred to the delusion of pursuing eternal life."

"If you want to be rich forever, land and manpower are indispensable, so the land annexation will become more serious. After the land annexation, the free people who originally paid taxes to the court and served corvee will gradually disappear. The power of the country Naturally, it will be weak."

Zhu Houzhao nodded thoughtfully.

"So that's the case, so why are Qin and Han different?"

Yu Fei smiled and said:

"Because there were no noble families at that time, only nobles, and the world had just been unified, and people's hearts were uncertain. As the first truly unified country, Qin's main conflict was to calm people's hearts and unite the people of the six countries into one."

"As the Han inherited the Qin system, it naturally inherited the problems that Qin had to face. Why did Han Gaozu have such a high status in the evaluation of historians? Hit it, this oath will suppress those ambitious people, and the Central Plains will truly complete the unification."

After thinking about it, Zhu Houzhao asked:

"Mr. Yu means that the issue of Daming is still a land issue?"

Yu Fei nodded and said:

"This is natural. This has been a big problem for generations. It is basically impossible to completely change it. That's why I proposed to open up sea trade and increase business taxes to alleviate Ming's current embarrassment."

In fact, Yu Fei still has a whole set of ideas behind him, but he himself knows that this method will never be used by the current Emperor Hongzhi, so he didn't write it. He just wrote some ideas in it. As for the specific plan, he didn't mention it. carry.

Zhu Houzhao praised sincerely:
"Mr. is really talented."

Yu Fei smiled and didn't answer this question. As long as a traveler who knows a little bit about history can talk about these things, he is really not a great talent. He just stands on the shoulders of giants, so he looks taller.

The two chatted until it was getting dark, and Zhu Houzhao reluctantly left. Mu Binmou, who was always protecting Zhu Houzhao, couldn't help but praise Yu Fei for his good luck.

In the next few days, Zhu Houzhao came to Yu Fei every day to ask questions, and Yu Fei knew everything. This country suffered too much. If Zhu Houzhao became the emperor in the future, he could remember a little bit what he said and make a little change. Naturally, it couldn't be better for the people of this country.

And Yu Fei also remembered Zhu Houzhao's untimely death, and after thinking about it, he taught Zhu Houzhao the four introductory formulas of the Quanzhen Fa. These four formulas, as long as you sleep, you can gain muscle and strengthen your body if you practice them Although there must be a lot of advanced martial arts in the imperial palace, the Quanzhen method, as the orthodox sect of Taoism in the world, naturally has its unique features.

Since that day, Zhu Houzhao has been showing courtesy to Yu Fei halfway. Although Yu Fei insisted on not accepting it, he couldn't make Zhu Houzhao be rude.

Yu Fei can only avoid it every time. On April 28, after attending the Qionglin Banquet held by the imperial court, there is a one-month holiday for the Xinke Jinshi. After the time is up, he will return to the Ministry of Officials to report, and then he can prepare for the assignment of official positions .

Yu Fei didn't intend to mess around in the court, so after attending the Qionglin Banquet, he handed a memorial to the Ministry of Rites, claiming that his family was ill and had to go back to his hometown for recuperation.

The Jinshi of the new department has not yet been awarded an official, and now it is under the unified jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, so if Yu Fei wants to pretend to be sick, he can only submit the memorial to the officials of the Ministry of Rites.

Naturally, such trivial matters could not be brought before the emperor, and they were handled directly in the cabinet. Yu Fei's test papers were corrected by the chief assistant of the cabinet, Liu Jian, so he naturally knew this scholar. The image of this student is quite profound.

Seeing that this somewhat deviant student was going back to his hometown and not planning to become an official, he agreed without thinking about it, but Li Dongyang, who was also a cabinet assistant, quite agreed with some of Yu Fei's views, which was a little pity.

On May [-]st, Yu Fei was about to leave the capital, but when he was outside the city, he was suddenly stopped by someone.

Looking back, it turned out that it was Zhu Houzhao who was calling to stop him while running. Yu Fei quickly stepped forward to support Zhu Houzhao and said:

"Brother Zhu, this is it?"

Zhu Houzhao gasped for breath before saying:

"Mr. Yu, Gu Nai is the current crown prince, Zhu Houzhao, and Mr. Xiangbi already knew about it."

Yu Fei nodded, and Zhu Houzhao continued:

"Mr. has a great talent, but he is not appreciated by the emperor. Gu is very regretful. Don't worry, sir. After Gu succeeds to the throne, he will definitely pay attention to Mr. and ask him to help Gu govern the world."

The stories of the Three Kingdoms in the Ming Dynasty were quite popular, and Zhu Houzhao must have heard it a lot, and even compared Yu Fei to Zhuge Wuhou.
