Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 83 Has He Been a Corrupt Official?
The emergence of new productivity tools means social change.

Su Jing's plain words made Zhu Biao look at him with wide eyes.

Social change means the fall of the feudal dynasty.

The feudal dynasty is gone, so can the Ming Dynasty still exist?
Zhu Biao really didn't expect that the way to solve the conflict between man and earth would end up 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 of any other way."

He knew that what he said must have had a huge impact on Zhu Biao.

However, this is the 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 achieve."

Su Jing continued: "From slash-and-burn farming to iron plow and cattle farming, it has been developed for thousands of years."

"The birth of a new productivity tool is not so easy."

"So, my method, at present, is just a dream that cannot be realized."

Su Jing knew that farming with iron plows and oxen brought about the agricultural revolution.

The appearance and widespread use of the steam engine heralded the first industrial revolution.

But as far as the Ming Dynasty is concerned, there are no conditions for an industrial revolution.

The centralized power system of the feudal system predestined a self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy.

For the industrial revolution, the development of science and technology is the most important thing.

Although Su Jing himself knows some simple physics knowledge, it is not systematic and cannot change anything.

Therefore, in his opinion, his own method is actually a fantasy.

Neither internal nor external conditions allow it.

Zhu Biao didn't listen too much to Su Jing's comfort.

He is now caught in a dilemma of choice.

If you want the people not to be displaced by natural disasters, that is to choose to accelerate the collapse of Ming Dynasty.

Dilemma!

How to do it?

Ask your own father?
What was the result? Zhu Biao could think of it himself.

According to his father's personality, this Ming Dynasty must last forever, and the world must always belong to the Zhu family.

This is the same as the natural disaster in the Ming Dynasty more than 200 years later.

However, what Su Jing said was quite clear.

This is impossible.

On one side are the common people, and on the other side is the world of the Ming Zhu family.

Zhu Biao was at a loss.

at the same time.

Inside the Fengxian Hall in the Forbidden City.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Xu Da are reviewing a hand-painted map.

"Your Majesty, this picture is really good. I wonder if I can ask you to copy it."

Xu Da said to Zhu Yuanzhang.

As the No.1 general of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da knew the importance of maps.

Although this picture is only a rough idea, it still has strategic value.

This map is exactly the map of Asia that Su Jing drew casually when he was teaching Zhu Biao the climate.

Su Jing marked very few things, only a few big rivers and some mountains.

At that time, he just did it casually, but he didn't expect Zhu Biao to write it down and spread it to the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Brother Xu, don't worry, I'm still very clear about this. The map has already been prepared, and when the time comes back home, just take a copy with you."

Zhu Yuanzhang has always referred to 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 picture, but even remote places such as Rakshasa are included in it."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "Who else is there, isn't it Su Jing?"

Su Jing!

Xu Da's face changed slightly, and he immediately said: "Su Jing still has such talent?"

As far as Xu Da knew, what Su Jing was good at was that he had never heard of maps.

And so far away, Su Jing is quite young, how did he know?
I can't go there all the time.

If you just heard about it, then being able to draw such a map is quite amazing!
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a little emotion: "Yes, I am 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, ancient and modern changes, dynasty lifespan, agricultural planting, business theory, fortune telling.
It seems that there is nothing 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? Why do you like it?"

Xu Da said: "Mr. Su knows everything and teaches the prince, isn't that something to be happy about?"

Before, Xu Da suspected that Su Jing might be hated by Zhu Yuanzhang, and his future was uncertain.

But now it sounds like Su Jing should be fine.

No, it's not just okay.

Su Jing's weight in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is probably quite heavy.

"Hahaha!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "Brother Xu, you think highly of Su Jing, and he can teach the crown prince."

No matter how good Su Jing was, Zhu Yuanzhang never regarded him as a master.

Maybe it's because Su Jing choked too many times when they met for the first time.

Or Zhu Yuanzhang, as the emperor, would never allow himself to be weaker than anyone else mentally.

He is the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, no matter how powerful Su Jing is, he is only a citizen of Daming.

Xu Da didn't say anything, he naturally had his own judgment.

After the chat, Zhu Yuanzhang also expressed his real intention to Xu Da, the Northern Expedition!

Although the last Northern Expedition was very successful, the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty were not completely wiped out.

To deal with these remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty, one must strike continuously.

Of course, after a Northern Expedition just now, Ming also needed to rest, and Zhu Yuanzhang was talking about plans for next year.

"Brother Xu, what do you think about the beginning of spring next year?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Xu Da.

Xu Da immediately said: "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust!"

Xu Da has never been afraid of such things.

In this Great Ming Dynasty Hall, Xu Da always regarded himself as a lonely minister, no matter which side he was on, he never approached deliberately.

Even for Prince Zhu Biao, the distance that should be kept is still maintained.

The object of Xu Da's allegiance has always been Zhu Yuanzhang.

He is also very clear about his identity. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang is commensurate with his brother, he has never overstepped.

It can be said that the family tradition of the Xu family was passed down by Xu Da.

"Okay, then I'll leave this to you, Brother Xu."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied.

In the court, courtiers like Xu Da are needed.

After the matter was finished, Xu Da didn't stay for too long, and left just like that with the copy of the map prepared by Zhu Yuanzhang.

And Zhu Yuanzhang returned to his desk and took out Zhu Biao's reply letter.

Looking at the thick letter, Zhu Yuanzhang was also a little surprised.

This time, is there so much to say?
But what should be seen is what should be seen after all.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the letter and began to read it carefully.

This incident was about that businessman Zhou Ming.

Zhu Biao briefly described the situation, and also clearly wrote Su Jing's reaction.

"Not bad, not bad, what this kid 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 saw the problem very thoroughly.

After that, Zhu Biao asked Su Jing about corporate anti-corruption.

Articles of content, each charter.

With Zhu Biao's own understanding outside.

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, just don't want too much.

but!

In the face of Su Jing's complete set of corporate anti-corruption theories, Zhu Yuanzhang only felt that he was simply weak.

"That's really good, it 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 is what he hates the most, and anti-corruption is naturally his favorite thing to do.

Su Jing's anti-corruption concepts in modern enterprise management, when used in ancient times, are simply a blow to dimensionality reduction.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't fully understand the content of financial supervision and review, which was too professional.

Fortunately, Zhu Biao also stated in the letter that these are the things he and Su Jing learn the most on weekdays.

If Zhu Biao knows it, it means that Lao Zhu knows it himself.

"Hahahahaha!"

Zhu Yuanzhang became happier the more he looked at it, and his face was almost crooked.

Although these seem to be only on paper, Zhu Yuanzhang is sure that once implemented, there will be very good results.

"Heavchi, what are you so happy about?"

Empress Ma's voice came, and she walked towards Zhu Yuanzhang with soup.

Zhu Yuanzhang was busy with too many government affairs on weekdays, and sometimes he didn't have time to eat, which was what Empress Ma cared about the most.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately said: "Sister, the letter that Biaoer just sent back, this Su Jing really won my heart!"

"Oh, what did Mr. Su say again?"

Queen Ma is interested.

Most of the time Su Jing usually made Zhu Yuanzhang hate it.

It's interesting to be so happy now.

"You can see for yourself."

Zhu Yuanzhang then handed over the anti-corruption content to Queen Ma.

Empress Ma simply scanned, and then showed a rather shocked expression: "Mr. Su's methods are really quite good."

Lao Zhu hated corruption, and Empress Ma also supported it.

Even some of Lao Zhu's anti-corruption methods have the advice of Empress Ma.

Seeing Su Jing's anti-corruption ideas and methods, Empress Ma felt rather shocked.

This is a fundamental conceptual difference.

Whether it is Lao Zhu or Empress Ma, the anti-corruption method that comes to mind is to use heavy codes to deter corruption after being caught, so as to achieve the purpose of anti-corruption.

Su Jing's anti-corruption philosophy is to increase the difficulty of corruption from the perspective of prevention.

While this shocked Empress Ma, she also realized that she and Zhu Yuanzhang might have gone in the wrong direction before.

And when she saw Su Jing's sentence that corruption is human nature and cannot be eradicated, she especially agreed.

"Sister."

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed suddenly, and he said, "Do you think this Su Jing has ever been a corrupt official? Otherwise, how could he be so clear about corruption!"
