Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 173 Hongwu Survival Guide Article [-]

Zhu Yuan never thought that he could go back hundreds of years ago. Therefore, after opening his eyes in this world last year, he has been taking a step forward. Even if he thinks a lot about each step, accidents are inevitable, just like a The plan intended to last for three years was broken in less than three months.

Then, I volunteered to go to Mingzhou.

This is also a temporary idea.

And now, in Fengxian Hall, facing a family of three sitting in rows, Zhu Yuan found that his thoughts were far from enough.

Zhu Biao!
Suppressing all kinds of thoughts that floated up in his heart, Zhu Yuan took the initiative to show a tired look after he finished talking about the idea of ​​the "five capital system", hoping that Lao Zhu would let him go and go back... There are many things that still need to be pondered.

Thinking about it.

Regarding the Wujing system, Lao Zhu still had many details to ask, but he also saw Zhu Yuan's exhaustion at a glance, and complained with a little concern: "You are tired again in this body. That's all for today, when you have time, you can talk about the rebuilding of the 'Da Qin', 'Da Chu', and 'Great Jin' overseas."

Zhu Yuan: "..."

Ancestor, which pot do you not open and which pot to lift!

Sure enough, when Old Zhu said this, Zhu Biao, who was beside him with a curious face, asked, "Father, what is 'Da Qin'...these?"

"It's about enforcing your younger brother in the future and defending our Daming country for a long time," Lao Zhu said, pointing to the globe: "Look, in addition to the area designated as our Daming territory, there are also overseas There are many land masses, these cannot be let go."

In Zhu Yuan's eyes, Zhu Biao looked over with a pure face, glanced at the globe, seemed to pause, but still said: "Father, can't we take that overseas land together?"

Zhu Yuan really wanted to grab a word at this moment.

can!
Your Highness, you can have the moon as you want, it belongs to your family.

Thinking this way, thinking about how to speak, Lao Zhu already said: "Just these backbones designated by Yuan'er are enough for us to operate for hundreds of years, and we can eat them all."

Zhu Biao looked over.

Zhu Yuan has already made up his mind, and quickly answered: "My ancestors, Your Highness, this overseas land, as long as Da Ming can reach it, of course it still belongs to our Da Ming in terms of law. I once mentioned an 'Empire on which the sun never sets' with my ancestors. That's the way it is said. But, because the distance is too far, it's better to send a vassal king to guard it."

Feeling not enough, Zhu Yuan continued: "Also, there is another one, the idea of ​​'strong stems and weak branches' that I talked about with my ancestors, at least for the next few generations, we should focus on developing the land of the Ming Dynasty. , the role of overseas lands is more inclined to provide basic resources such as food and minerals for Da Ming. Moreover, keeping these territories weak can also ensure that the "strong trunk" can control the "weak branches". As for the other "Da Qin", It may take hundreds of years for the sayings such as 'Great Chu' to take shape. After all, the world is impermanent, and spreading our Zhu family's blood is just a way of not putting all eggs in one basket."

Hearing what Zhu Yuan said, Zhu Biao nodded slightly in approval.

Lao Zhu felt that what his 23rd grandson said was a bit different from before, but after thinking about it, he also felt that it made sense, so he nodded accordingly.

Only Ma Shi, who was a bystander, listened to these carefully, but his attention was not completely focused on it. Instead, he put a part of the young boy silently observing the globe, so he noticed that when talking about these things, Zhu Yuan The emotions... seem a little urgent.

It seems to be explaining something.

However, this is only a very faint feeling, and Ma Shi will skip it after thinking about it for a while.

After these words, Lao Zhu did not continue, but let Zhu Yuan go back today, and did not forget to mention the previous things, let him choose some servants and maidservants, Zhu Yuan did not refuse, but let Lao Zhu Just order anyone to deliver it casually, no need to pick.

Give what you want!
Mrs. Ma also asked a few words about this, and also did not object. For example, the servants brought back a lot from Dadu this time. It is not suitable for eunuchs to send people away at will. Give some to Zhu Yuan. Anyway, they are from his own family. There are no legal obstacles to returning to the ancestors.

It was to persuade Zhu Yuan very bluntly.

The body is weak, so you must restrain yourself when dealing with women, so as not to hurt you.

Zhu Yuan can only humbly say yes.

Before leaving, he suddenly remembered some things, and said to Old Zhu: "My ancestor, when I came back from Mingzhou this time, I brought some gifts for His Highness and several princes, all of which are worthless and entertaining." I thought I'd pass today's ancestor's birthday, and I'd send it tomorrow. It just so happens that His Highness is here, and Yuan'er doesn't know what the princes like, why don't you let His Highness, the elder brother, distribute it to the younger brothers?"

In fact, I didn't bring it.

Too rushed and didn't expect that much.However, if you go back and look for it, there is definitely no shortage.

Lao Zhu nodded with a smile: "Just bring it here," he said, then turned to the eldest son: "You come and distribute it to the younger brothers, but you must have the bearing of an older brother."

Zhu Biao quickly agreed.

Zhu Yuan turned to Mrs. Ma again, and this one could not be ignored: "Your Majesty, there are also some glassware, which are for daily use, and they will be delivered together tomorrow."

Ma Shi didn't agree immediately, but asked, "I heard that this glass is equivalent to gold?"

"It's actually not worth it," Zhu Yuan said, "However, this is not something that ordinary people can consume. It is specially sold to the rich and overseas merchants, so it is deliberately priced at a higher price, and the profits and taxes are obtained. Instead, it can subsidize it." For national use, to benefit the common people, Yuan'er has discussed all these with his ancestors."

As he spoke, he turned to Lao Zhu again: "Speaking of it, my ancestors, regarding the glass company, Yuan'er recently wanted to add crystals together. It is considered a monopoly, and the shares have to be reorganized. That's how it is. When I made this glass, Yuan'er was just for Thermometers, and some glassware that can be used to study chemistry and medicine. I didn’t expect it to be so valuable. The annual profit can reach the million-level level. I think, I don’t want it anymore, and put it in the royal asset management company. However, I also want to advise my ancestors that no matter what company, if it makes money, it should be spent as soon as possible, such as investing in education that is beneficial to the country and the people. Scientific research, or even the development of new businesses, is also good, on the contrary, if it is piled up there, it will only be a pile of useless silver and copper."

Lao Zhu nodded his head at the last words, but said: "You still have some, I have also thought about it recently, what kind of royal asset management company is just for the clan in the future... Oh, that's what you said, it's called a bottom line , you can’t put all your eggs in one basket. In this way, I’ll give you [-]%. Although you have a profit of [-] a year, you won’t be a waste of time. Just like you said, do what you want .”

When Lao Zhu said this, Zhu Yuan didn't refuse, and said: "There is also the dividend distribution of the management, ancestors, Yuan'er's previous setting is that those who are in charge only have the right to distribute dividends according to the corresponding shares. This equity is still ours. In the hands. The difference, the ancestors should be able to understand. Yuan Er suggested that the dividends for all craftsmen of the glass company be increased to 5%, covering everyone. Ancestors, this is not because of my selfishness, but because of the distribution of economics. Giving more social benefits to the bottom is equivalent to laying more foundations for building a house, and the house will be stronger."

"I understand the reasoning. If this is the case, five points will be less, and all craftsmen will count as one tenth. How to allocate it is up to you to plan."

Zhu Yuan bowed and said: "Yuan'er thanked the ancestors on behalf of the craftsmen."

Lao Zhu smiled and waved his hands: "Heh, you go back first, and there will be no end to it. There will be a long time to come."

Zhu Yuan also laughed, but turned to Zhu Biao again: "There is one last thing. Your Highness should learn all the knowledge Yuan'er gave to your ancestors. If Your Highness has any doubts in the future, Yuan'er can help you out."

"I was supposed to teach you, so what's the 'boldness'?" Lao Zhu hurried away again: "Go, I just realized that you are so wordy."

Both Ma Shi and Zhu Biao laughed lightly.

Everyone said that he was long-winded, so Zhu Yuan had no choice but to shut up, saluted the three of them again in a polite manner, and then left Fengxian Hall.

Sitting on the sedan chair, Zhu Yuan, who had exhausted his energy, directly covered his head and began to sleep. After leaving the palace, he continued to sleep without changing the sedan chair.No one bothered them, and they continued to be sent all the way to Houhu.

This time this afternoon, it was really exhausting.

In the end, no matter whether it is re-planning overseas territories, or giving Zhu Biao a temporary gift and let Zhu Biao be responsible for distributing it, all the thoughts are put into it, the purpose is to make a certain young man feel that he is valued, and even enjoy his status as His Royal Highness.

There is also a statement of his own.

Combined with many thoughts, Zhu Yuan also comprehended again, and summed up the third rule of Hongwu Dynasty's survival: prince priority.

Because of those past memories, Zhu Yuan doesn't like Zhu Biao.

However, as a businessman, he was still a relatively successful businessman, and he inevitably came into contact with people from various circles. Zhu Yuan didn't know how many people he had interacted with, and he was never a secular person. nice guy on.

The odds of a good guy succeeding are too low.

almost none.

Therefore, in the past, Zhu Biao was actually not bad.

Zhu Yuan can confirm one thing, even if it is fake, if he continues to act for decades, as long as Lao Zhu is alive, it will be difficult for Zhu Biao to break through certain inner rules, such as being friendly to brothers, for example, valuing family affection.

Because Lao Zhu cherishes these.

In order to show the status of a good son, Zhu Biao can only cherish these.

For Zhu Yuan, this is first of all a very effective talisman, as long as he doesn't do those absurd things like the old Zhu's sons, as long as Lao Zhu is alive, no matter how dissatisfied Zhu Biao is with him, he has to endure it.

And, that's just the template it used to be.

This time...

First of all, Zhu Yuan has no threat to Zhu Biao.

Secondly, Zhu Yuan ignored Zhu Biao's possible thoughts about some things planned before, so, after that, change it!
As for Daming's future, that's none of my business.

Zhu Yuan's idea is very simple. For the emperor with great talents and plans, he will give plans for talents and plans. If you don't have such an open mind, then you can do whatever you want.

Because there was no regret before, and there is no regret this time, Zhu Yuan's view of history has always been like his true character in his heart.

cold.

Even indifference.

History is history, and there is no difference between history and reality.

In the end it's a circle.

In the past, Zhu Yuan was full of pessimism about the reality, not to mention the history. The progressive side of his character would make him do many things involuntarily and become a "successful person" in the secular sense. But, on the other hand, for many things , will remain indifferent.

For example, the various blueprints that I and Lao Zhu have drawn before are actually all for the sake of a certain idealist.

After reading a lot of history, Zhu Yuan knows very well what will happen in reality.

Just like the idea of ​​'Great Chu', 'Great Qin', 'Da Yan' and so on defending 'Da Ming', in fact, there is a counterexample in front of us.The Yuan Dynasty was destroyed, and none of the khanates founded by the descendants of Genghis Khan far in the west stood up for the nominal suzerain.

Everyone is still on their own.

Therefore, it is an idealized gimmick.

Let's talk about Zhu Biao.

Once upon a time.

This time, since I can even "wash" Lao Zhu, a 13-year-old boy, even if the three views have initially formed, is ultimately no better than an adult who has experienced world affairs in his forties. Disaster.

Anyway, life and death are not a big deal, what else can there be?
Of course, you still can't be too arbitrary.

To plan.

For example, Lao Zhu is still the emperor after all, and Zhu Biao is young. If he leans too far, even if someone does not think too much from the perspective of a father, he will inevitably feel uncomfortable from the perspective of an emperor.

The scale still needs to be right.

There was a voice in his ear, Zhu Yuan lifted the fur on his body, saw Xieyi and the others standing aside, without thinking about it for a while, he opened his hands: "Come, give a hug."

Freehand is just laughing.

Seeing that the freehand brushwork was not moving, Liu Bai sat down beside his shoulders, but pretended to be reserved: "Little official, it's cold outside, why don't you come in?"

Zhu Yuan put his arms around Liu Bai's waist: "You give me a kiss, and I will enter the house."

Liu Bai's face immediately turned red, he glanced to the side, felt the strength of his own little official's hand, and then pretended to be obedient and pasted it, without opening his mouth, just two cool lips, which lightly imprinted on Zhu Yuan's face one time.

Then he buried his head on Zhu Yuan's shoulder.

Too shy.

Full of the fragrance of his daughter, Zhu Yuan was very comfortable, so he hugged him quietly for a while, feeling that the sky was getting darker, and finally patted a certain girl who was lying on his body and breathing rapidly: "Get up, how about You carry me into the house?"

Liu Bai, who was still burying his head on Zhu Yuan's shoulder, hummed, propped up his body, his face was still red, but he stretched out his hand.

Zhu Yuan smiled and refused: "No, you're too thin, I'm afraid I'll get sick if I lie on you."

Lu Bai immediately looked to the side.

Qingniang, who was originally standing behind Xieyi, moved forward, looking forward to the order.

At the beginning, I was the only one in the yard who was over a hundred catties. I wanted to lose weight, but I didn't lose weight because the petty officials didn't allow it, saying that fleshy ones are comfortable.

Seeing Qing Niang's small movements, Zhu Yuan hooked her.

The woman immediately came over and squatted down.

Zhu Yuan just pinched Qingniang's chin: "Stupid woman, why are you so cute?"

Qingniang's face turned red immediately, her eyes moistened a little, and she stretched out her hand: "Little official, can I carry you into the house?"

Zhu Yuan said, "You beg me."

Qing Niang was very obedient: "Little official, I beg you."

"Change your name."

Qing Niang was still obedient, and whispered: "Father..."

"So nice."

As Zhu Yuan spoke, he had already sat up.

It's a bit outrageous to always be carried by women.

After getting off the shoulder, Zhu Yuan walked up the steps to the main room, saying, "Hurry up and get some food, this afternoon... I'm so hungry."
