Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chapter 224 Governing the country, I can't!I am not responsible for governing people!

Originally, Chu Ze came here in a hurry and didn't have time to eat breakfast. After hearing Lao Zhu's invitation, he didn't think much about it at all.

He immediately started eating the biscuits in his hand.

But when he heard that Lao Zhu asked him to help deal with the refugees in Shandong.

Chu Ze immediately spat out the biscuits in his mouth.

After eating this biscuit, it's somewhat hot, okay?
"Your Majesty, you are not embarrassing people. Do you think I look like someone who can solve this problem?"

After a long time, Chu Ze finally regained his strength.

The corner of his mouth twitched as he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was sitting across from him, eating sesame seed cakes and staring at him with a smile.

In addition to helplessness, Chu Ze's eyes were more speechless.

"Why did you mention the Shandong refugees in the court? Don't you know how to deal with this matter?"

"Let's not talk about Zhu Yunqi's useless dim sum, just Yongle. Didn't you say that the fourth child is Emperor Yongle? He didn't solve this problem?"

"If the fourth brother can't solve it, then forget about his son. He has only been in power for a few months. Then his grandson, the hexagonal warrior, should be able to deal with it, right?"

"You tell us the method they use, and we will use it directly when the time comes."

"."

Hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said was almost a matter of course, Chu Ze just silently pulled the sesame seed cakes that he accidentally sprayed on the table to the ground.

Then he put the biscuit in his hand into his mouth again.

After taking a sip calmly, he spoke silently.

"Your Majesty, you should know that the history of our land in China is very long, and it is very scary."

"Up to the Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties, and ended in the era of my existence, generally we call it the upper and lower 5000 years."

"Let's not say that I'm just an ordinary person. Even if I'm a genius, I have a photographic memory, and I can't remember so many things!"

"Besides, I seem to remember that you didn't solve the issue of refugees at all."

"This matter has been backlogged."

"As for the solution. I have no idea."

After hearing Chu Ze's words, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still smiling, gradually turned cold.

He looked at Chu Ze who was silently eating pancakes, his brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"You mean, what happened in Shandong lasted for hundreds of years?"

"Uh, almost. If you want to talk about specific statistics, I still know some. For example, during the Ming Dynasty, there were hundreds of uprisings."

"."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was also eating biscuits at first, felt that the biscuits in his mouth were delicious.

But suddenly I heard Chu Ze say that during the Ming Dynasty, there were hundreds of uprisings.

He suddenly felt that the biscuits in his mouth were tasteless as if he was chewing wax.

"Look at it from the perspective of your descendants, are these refugees really unable to settle down?"

"Oh, by the way, Your Majesty, did you eavesdrop in the hall just now?"

"Why are you asking that all of a sudden?"

"Otherwise, how do you know, I mentioned the Shandong refugees in the court!"

".Yes, we eavesdropped. What's the matter? No way! It's the first time for us, Biao'er, to preside over the government in person. Let's help check it out. So I can give him an opinion. What’s the matter, do you have any opinions? Tell me if you have any opinions!”

"Don't dare, don't dare!"

"Don't dare? Don't dare, is there?"

"."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang staring straight at him, Chu Ze coughed slightly in embarrassment.

What happened..
Chu Ze really had no objection to Zhu Yuanzhang's eavesdropping.

He just mentioned it casually.

Anyway, Lao Zhu didn't eavesdrop once or twice.

He's used to it.

It's just this kind of thing, it's better not to continue to entangle with him, an unreasonable person.

"Your Majesty, I really have no opinion on the refugees in Shandong. After all, I'm not a genius, but that's all I can say."

"Some problems are actually problems of the nature of society."

"As far as I know, most of the Shandong area is located in the plains, and in the nearby generation, in addition to farmers and merchants, there are also some unique horse households. These people are responsible for raising horses for the imperial court."

"However, there is a very serious problem with the existence of these horse households. If they raise their horses to death, not only will they not get any benefits from raising horses, but they will have to pay for the court's losses out of their own pockets. .”

"Ordinary people's homes, all year round, let alone food and money in the family, it is very rare to be able to ensure that the whole family has food, clothing and worry-free all year round."

"The existence of this kind of Mahu is a burden to the common people."

"Think about it, people still have birth, old age, sickness and death, accidental death, let alone cattle, horses and animals?"

"If it is a horse household, and the horse in the family dies unexpectedly, will the family be wiped out?"

"Under such circumstances, if they don't become refugees, what else can they do?"

"As for farmers. They are located around the Grand Canal, and at least more than [-] laborers are assigned to corvee every year."

"Many people may even die from exhaustion directly from this corvée. In addition to the unpredictable weather, the common people have no food in their homes, and their resilience is poor."

"Once there is a catastrophe, these people have almost nothing to do but wait to die."

"Your Majesty, this is not a problem that I can solve, but some problems, from the beginning to the end, are unsolvable in themselves."

"Because they were wrong from the beginning."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't really want to hear these great principles that Chu Ze told, nor did he like to hear them very much.

Because even after he heard it, he didn't know how to deal with it.

He may understand the reasoning, but this is not what he wants.

What he wants is a solution.
"We don't want to hear these right and wrong things now, we just want to know, don't you have these things in your future generations?"

"Don't tell us that there will be no famines in future generations, and there will be no need for corvee!"

"He will always have a similar situation, right? Just tell me, how do you deal with these similar things in future generations?"

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's tone gradually getting a little impatient, Zhu Xi, who was eating cakes silently all the time, couldn't help slowing down his movements at this time.

He has to be careful breathing now.

For fear of accidentally attracting his father's attention.

And Chu Ze looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was a little bit annoyed.

He silently took a sip of tea, swallowed some dry cakes, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang in a helpless tone.

"Your Majesty, it's really not me kidding. Our future generations really don't have any famine problem."

"As for the corvée, it doesn't even exist. Even the prisoners in the prison are paid for their work."

"Our future generations have such a saying, technology is the primary productive force!"

"Now you plow an acre of land, you need one cow, one person, and a set of farm tools. It takes a long time to do it, right?"

"In our future generations, if it is a plain area, it would be considered lazy to plow hundreds or even thousands of acres of land with a cultivating machine in one day."

"Irrigation has a whole irrigation system."

"There are special pesticides for pest control."

"The drought is so severe that artificial rainfall can even be achieved."

"There is also a special harvester for harvesting, and one machine can support hundreds of people. The key is that this thing doesn't know how tired it is, and it keeps working."

"Corvée or something, you need an excavator and a loader if you want to open a mountain."

"You're shipping stuff, there's a train, there's a van or something"

"Horse riding, in our era, was an activity for rich people. Horse raising is also extremely rare."

"Your Majesty, I have always advocated the development of technology, but my personal strength is indeed limited."

"But based on what I have achieved so far, an incubator can greatly increase the number of poultry."

"The flintlock increases the number of enemies killed. The assembly line production mode increases production efficiency."

"Some things, there is a generation gap between us, it is really impossible to explain clearly."

Looking at the helpless Chu Ze, Zhu Yuanzhang could only silently pick up the biscuits in his hand, and then bit them one by one.

Although, he still didn't understand what Chu Ze said.

But there is one thing Zhu Yuanzhang can be sure of.

That is hundreds of years later, and it should be completely different from their current era.

Many problems that seem to be unsolvable today, in future generations, are not problems at all, but common sense.

However, those are things for the future, and we still have to find a way to deal with what should be dealt with now.

"Could it be that you have nothing to do?"

"Uh, I really can't help it. The main reason is that I don't understand these things. My opinion is that it's better to find professional people to do professional things. If you encounter any problems during this process, I can definitely help help."

"By the way, why don't you give it a try, abolish corvée and reduce agricultural tax, and instead mainly collect business tax?"

"There is also what I am doing now. Look at the old King Wu Zhou. Although it is only a city, it is still an experimental area."

"Won't you try to find some way over there?"

"By the way, there is another thing I wanted to say a long time ago, that is, state-owned enterprises, salt and iron can be government-run. In fact, other things can also be government-run."

"But it cannot be said that it is a direct monopoly and does not leave any way for the people at all."

"You try to encourage business, and then shift the focus of taxation to business, so as to ensure that more food grown in people's homes can be kept."

"If people have enough food left over for three to five years, then there won't always be famine disasters."

"In my humble opinion, you can deal with it yourself. I'm not good at governing a country. I don't have that ability either."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Ze who didn't rush at the big man at all, and he could only shake his head silently.

Originally, he thought that when Chu Ze mentioned the Shandong refugees, Chu Ze could handle it in a way.

Now it seems that he took it for granted after all.

"We don't ask you about governing the country anymore. Since you can't govern the country, what about governing people?"

"Uh? Your Majesty, who do you want to punish? Let me tell you first, I don't know how to punish others. I will not be responsible if I put to death!"
