Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 323

"But there are also people who are not like this." Zhu Houzhao did not follow his father's words this time, but retorted bluntly: "Although I have met so many people, there are mediocre people, greedy people, and flattering people. I am a villain, but I believe that this Ming Dynasty will eventually have officials who are dedicated to the country and the people, although there are few, there are."

"My son's words today and his actions tomorrow should be an inspiration." Zhu Houzhao said this with an unusually serious face.

"I want the people in the world to see that the Chu Jun of the Ming Dynasty is determined to forge ahead, has the courage to sweep the universe, has the bearing to subdue the world, and also has the ambition to shine forever!"

Zhu Houzhao said these words resoundingly: "I want to prosper the Ming Dynasty and do things that have never been done in ancient times. Naturally, I have to take great measures that have never been seen in ancient times. This refugee is where I made the first."

This is also the reason why Zhu Houzhao said what he said today and why he did so.

Will the scholar-bureaucrats criticize him for this?

The answer is simple, yes.

But Zhu Houzhao has no fear.

Since ancient times, there has been no one who has achieved major events without being criticized.The world is in conflict, you want to be king, or even emperor, why?Because of this, those people will serve you.Otherwise, who cares about you if you are a grass head king?
This is what Zhu Houzhao has to do now. Whether he wants to use this as a step up, or is really willing to serve the country and the people, as long as he has talent and is willing to be used by him, it will be fine.

Zhu Youtang looked at his son, feeling a little sour in his heart.

This son is too good, and the pressure of being a father is very high, which is how Zhu Youtang feels now.

Especially when the father is still young and ambitious, if it is another emperor, what kind of dance do you dance, the prince, go back and stay honest.

But Zhu Youtang was different. Seeing his son's resolute expression and listening to his son's bold words, Zhu Youtang's heart was also stirred up with pride and ambition.My son has such pride, how can I, as a father, be willing to leave my son behind?

"My son is so proud." Zhu Youtang said with a smile, but then his face became serious again: "However, can the emperor have a way?"

This refugee matter has not been a small matter since ancient times, but a big one.No dynasty can completely solve it. Even if it is solved, it is just to appease these people so that these people will no longer rebel casually.Now my son's ideas and courage make me excited, but I don't rely on words or arrogance to do things.

"There is a way." Zhu Houzhao nodded, and then said: "There is nothing else, just immigration."

Zhu Houzhao's words made Zhu Youtang angry.

Immigrants, to put it lightly, how can there be such a good thing?Who doesn't know how difficult it is to immigrate?

How many dynasties and people have done it, but what is the result?Why are these people running?Will they be willing to believe the words of the court?Will you be willing to follow you to immigrate?

Stop it.

"How to immigrate?" Zhu Youtang said with a deadpan face, "Forcing them with soldiers?"

If his son dares to answer yes, Zhu Youtang is ready to take care of his son.Because if that's the case, it proves that the thing that his son worried about the most happened.

As the saying goes, a person always likes to do things in the way he is best at. What is his son best at?Everyone in the court knew that what his son was best at was fighting.

If the son uses troops to force the conquest, Zhu Youtang will tell his son that the people are not afraid of death, so why should they be afraid of death?

"Forcing him with soldiers?" Zhu Houzhao was taken aback when he heard his father's words. When did his character set become like this?Who said that being good at fighting means you have to use knives to solve problems?

Yes, using a knife to solve the problem is the easiest and quickest way, at least the person who caused the problem can be killed, then there is no problem.

But what does that matter?Is your character setting such a failure?Or is someone doing something on purpose?Zhu Houzhao drew circles in his heart.

"Father, that's the worst policy." Zhu Houzhao didn't care about this.

Zhu Houzhao was not worried whether it was made up by the old man's own brain, or someone read it in the old man's ear.In Daming, unless the prince is killed, no one can shake the prince's position.It is too difficult for Dad to abolish himself and establish others, after all, Dad has no other sons.

"My son thinks that there are three strategies for immigration." Zhu Houzhao looked confident: "The last strategy is to force them with soldiers just mentioned."

"It's just that those people are refugees. They don't have real estate themselves. They escaped from disaster. They are against the government and the court, so it will only be counterproductive to force them with soldiers. This is a bad policy, and my ministers will not take it." Zhu Houzhao said calmly. He said that he knew how to convince his father, so he directly ruled out his father's worries.

After listening to his son's words, Zhu Youtang nodded in satisfaction, and the worries in his heart disappeared, leaving only appreciation.

"Then what should I do?" Zhu Youtang looked at Zhu Houzhao, and after worrying was gone, what remained of Zhu Youtang was curiosity.

"My minister's best strategy is to lure them with profit." Zhu Houzhao continued: "Refugees are very miserable. If it is not that they can't survive, no one is willing to leave their hometown and become a refugee. Although the northwest is bitter and cold, it is hard to leave the homeland after all!" Zhu Houzhao looked emotional: "It is my ministers who are going to clarify the administration of officials and develop industries, just like Liaodong."

"To build workshops, adopt a recruiting system in the northwest, distribute farmland to the common people, and recruit common people to work in factories." Zhu Houzhao said with a serious face: "Encourage businessmen to go out of the fortress and open up the Silk Road to the west."

Zhu Youtang looked at his son talking eloquently, and the expression on his face suddenly became brighter. Is this the right strategy?This is obviously because the son wants to go to the Northwest to carry out military reforms.

After Liaodong is finished, go to the northwest. After the northwest is finished, it will be Jizhou Xuanfu, right?At that time, all the nine sides of Ming Dynasty will be recruited. Can the court afford it?
"Let's talk about the best policy!" Zhu Youtang coughed a few times, and the expression on his face was also extremely exciting. He didn't want to discuss this issue with his son.

Zhu Hou took care of his father, and suddenly felt helpless, what did his father think?

But Zhu Houzhao didn't care, and he wasn't going to argue with his father about economic issues, because it didn't make any sense.

Glancing at his father, Zhu Houzhao continued: "The best policy is naturally to be inspired by benevolence and righteousness. I plan to dispatch talented officials in the court. For example, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and various ministries should let them go to Yunyang Mansion in person to serve as saints." His virtue inspired the refugees, and let them respect the teachings of the sages and go to Shibian.”

"As long as one person brings back [-] to [-] immigrants and sends out a hundred officials, the problem of Jingxiang immigrants will naturally be solved." Zhu Houzhao shook his head, with a smug smile on his face: "I think this is the case. The matter can be presided over by Xie Qian, a cabinet scholar."
