2335. Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthlessness
This is indeed a path to explore.
It can provide a more effective sense of security, who doesn't like it?
Don't think that since the monks at the bottom are all monks, they no longer lack security. Is it possible?
Isn't the enemy also growing?
Before the spiritual energy revived, a fifth- and sixth-level monster was already very high, but what about now?
Even on the outskirts of the mountains in Liu Haolong's country, they can be seen everywhere, right?
You must know that the major mountain ranges of Liu Haolong Kingdom can clean up monsters anytime and anywhere, but it is permanent.
This is true for Liu Haolong's country, let alone other countries?
Australia is obviously worse than Liu Haolong's country. The average cultivation level of the monsters in Australia is obviously higher, and their number is also larger.
Therefore, even if the land near Liu Haolong's Australian base is actually developed, it will be difficult to actually use it.
Most of them are used to build greenhouses to grow vegetables needed by the urban population.
Doesn't 99% of real food need to be transported from the outside world?
Most of them are from the local area.
Now, with a template like Soochow, why not imitate it?
Not to mention the Liu Haolong Kingdom, Cao Wei and Shu Han will definitely follow immediately. Even if some of the cities need to be dismantled and rebuilt, they will probably be very happy.
They actually don't need to worry that no one is willing to stay in it for a long time. For example, after Cao Wei took over power from Liu Xian, not everyone was willing to be loyal to Cao Cao.
Even if they see through it, even if they know that this is the general trend, aren't there still some people who choose to live in seclusion?
Aren't there some people who dare not even give Cao Mengde more trust?
Most of these people come from the major families in Cao Wei. Also, in the Three Kingdoms era, the top strong people could not come from the bottom.
These people can be put to good use, and there is no reason for Cao Cao to miss them.
As for the worry that they will simply rebel, there is no need. Even if they are not very loyal to Cao Wei, they are still firm enough on the human front.
They are in charge, and they are protecting not only Cao Wei, but the fate and future of the entire mythical Three Kingdoms world.
At this time, they are more reliable. Even if they don't have any salary, they are probably happy to bring their own dry food.
Besides, doesn't part of the life and property they protect belong to them?
From the perspective of Wei, Shu and Wu, this is progress and an effective release of productivity.
But from Liu Hao's point of view, he had to think about the possible future that this would bring.
Once something is controlled by someone for a long time, it is likely to cause some problems.
For example, in the Soochow City Group, due to the long-term security maintenance of these aristocratic families, it will be inevitable to have a so-called showdown on security maintenance costs over time.
It's just ten years from now or thirty years from now.
As long as the majority of people think it is reasonable to set up a nominal fee, is it possible that it will not be approved?
But after it's established, it's not up to them to decide how much it will cost?
Even if the fee is rare at the beginning and just for a moment, what will happen as time goes by?
They will tell you that some things have become obsolete over time, and maintenance has become more difficult, requiring more investment. Therefore, can you possibly resist raising the cost?
Whenever you take a step back, you have to step back step by step until you are forced into a blind corner.
Are there many such things in history?
Even in the modern world, stories like this have never disappeared, right?
This is almost doomed, so it is inevitable that the class solidification within the Soochow City Group will become more acute.
The only thing that makes the people there feel lucky is that they are in the heavens and have the existence of the Yanhuang Alliance of the heavens. If they do appear, there are people who can suppress them.
Don't think this is just talk.
Some things were born the moment the Yanhuang Alliance appeared.
For example, when the Ming Empire joined the Yanhuang Alliance, couldn't some of the policies originally implemented by the Ming Empire have to be cancelled?
Among them, the prince's salary is the biggest example.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a small farmer mentality, had to admit that his old father's wish would eventually become one of the main reasons for the demise of the Ming Empire.
This guy is much more ruthless, and he also knows that some things must be cut off from his own body so that he can implement them better.
Even the prince's salary has been completely deprived. Do the nobles of the Ming Empire still want to inherit it from generation to generation?
Who gives you the courage to stand up in front of Zhu Yuanzhang? Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely tell you what Xiaoxiaole of the Nine Tribes looks like.
As the founding father of the country, I gave you enough respect and helped you accumulate a certain amount of wealth, but that's all.
If your descendants cannot support you, then go back and be your rich man.
Is it possible that Zhu Yuanzhang, who has been baptized by modern thinking, has no idea about this?
In history, when the Ming Empire collapsed, many of the nobles who had followed the Ming Empire for more than two hundred years of glory and wealth chose to surrender.
I, the Ming Empire, have already reached the limit of its kindness to you, right?
If you surrender like this, how can I expect you to follow me forever? Is it possible?
In this case, it is better to make an agreement from the beginning. Your status will be granted, but it is limited to your status. Everything else needs to be fought for by your descendants.
Don't think this is unfair, because there are no exceptions for Zhu Yuanzhang's sons. I can be so hard-hearted, but maybe I am soft-hearted towards you?
According to historical records, because of Zhu Biao's death, Zhu Yuanzhang completely cleaned up the court officials. Who didn't see it?
Compared with such a future, taking a step back is really nothing to the nobles who followed Zhu Yuanzhang in the Ming Empire.
Besides, they also know that in this era of heaven and earth, if their descendants cannot stand up, they may be wiped out by the truly strong at any time and at any time.
Maybe it was just a small collision, such as grabbing an oiran.
Are there few stories like this in the ancient world?
You have a lot of wealth, but there is no strong person who can protect this wealth. This wealth is only kept by you, and it is not sure who it really belongs to!
Don't think that Zhu Yuanzhang is so harsh on his nobles now, because they are very resentful of Zhu Yuanzhang in their hearts.
Doesn't exist.
On the contrary, they are now more loyal to Zhu Yuanzhang than anyone else and more than they were in the past.
You think this is a heavenly statement, but in fact it is inevitable.
What you see is that Zhu Yuanzhang is like a high-hanging scorching sun, which may scorch the companions who follow him anytime and anywhere.
But in fact this is not the case at all. Because Queen Ma, who can still 'check and balance' Zhu Yuanzhang, is still alive, and because of her spiritual practice, her life span is still long.
Because Zhu Biao will never die young again as recorded in history, and there is no need to worry about supporting his grandchildren and being purged.
Because Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that even if the power of the prime minister and the imperial power were in competition to a certain extent, he had not thought about simply eliminating the position of prime minister as it had done in history.
So far, the Ming Empire has just followed the example of later generations of the Ming Dynasty and changed it into a cabinet to divide the power of the prime minister.
This in itself is the best explanation Zhu Yuanzhang gave to Zhang Wenwu and all the scholars and people of the Ming Empire.
Emperor Hongwu has already made such concessions, why can't you trust him?
Haven't you seen what is said in modern world history records, that when the Eternal Emperor appeared, was it just to evaluate Emperor Hongwu from the beginning?
Don't think that Zhu Yuanzhang just talked about some things without actually implementing them clearly, such as the prince's salary.
Before people make a decision, they may have various inner struggles, but once they make a decision, they are far more determined than anyone else.
He could use his inner treasury to provide some money to his children and grandchildren, just as they would need for their future business ventures.
But that's all. The salary from the national treasury will stop on the day it stops. The only way to get it is to build your own merits like other noble people. There is nothing else. way.
This kind of thing is even more violent in Zhu Yuanzhang's case.
He is stubborn and difficult to convince, but once he changes his mind and makes a decision, he is equally stubborn.
His Queen Ma, Bai Yueguang, was not upright, but she was also a virtuous queen through the ages.
Historically, even if the queen had returned to the throne, she would still weave cloth herself in the harem. This was not just for show.
People can really hold Zhu Yuanzhang's ears and curse in the harem, but Zhu Yuanzhang must greet him with a smile and will not be angry at all.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and Empress Ma agreed, it was impossible for these princes to cause any trouble.
After the Ming Dynasty and the Liu Haolong Kingdom were connected, Zhu Yuanzhang packed up all the princes and handed them over to the Liu Haolong Kingdom for training, but that was not just talk.
Even to this day, aren't his second and third sons still training within Liu Haolong's army of soldiers?
It is very possible that there is really no possibility of going back. There is a high probability that Zhu Yuanzhang simply 'forgot'.
Then after Zhu Yunwen left the Zongwu Daming Empire, wasn't he now fighting in the monster battlefield?
This guy also started a small team by himself. Although it can't be said to be prosperous, it is enough to be self-sufficient.
Once some people become cruel, they are more cruel than anyone else.
He raised his head, wouldn't it be possible that the nobles under his command would not follow closely?
Those people know best what kind of virtue Zhu Yuanzhang is. Once the descendants of these nobles cause a big disaster and the butcher's knife is raised, you need to blame me for not being a brother enough.
It's no wonder that Sun Quan was only assigned to Zhu Yuanzhang to guard the gate. The comparison between the two can be described as two extremes.
They all started in the south of the Yangtze River. One can only be reduced to a guard dog, but the other can dominate the country from south to north.
Character determines destiny, which is clearly reflected in the two of them.
One was born as a beggar and earned everything by himself, while the other inherited the wealth of his father and brother and had to rely on the support of his family to gain a foothold.
Their future was virtually sealed from the start.
Even if Sun Quan now knows everything very well, he is still unable to change the overall situation.
To put it bluntly, Soochow could live without Sun Quan. Even if Sun Quan died suddenly and unexpectedly, it would just be a replacement of the leader. People would still be able to sing and dance to peace. If they wanted to go further, it would be impossible for anyone to really support them.
For the aristocratic families under Sun Quan's account, getting more means taking greater risks, so great that their livers tremble when they think about it. Rather than doing this, it is better not to think about it at all and just act as if they don't know.
That is to say, Cao Mengde of the Mythical Three Kingdoms rose too violently because of Liu Hao's joining, forcing Sun Quan to expand crazily towards South Vietnam, forcing them to release more benefits to the people, otherwise it is not certain that they can survive until now.
But isn't that the case with some things?
When you have to, you can still force yourself to change your mind, because if you don't change, you will really die.
But the more important thing is that if you find that it can still be maintained, even if you know that it is in tatters and may collapse if the storm is bigger, you will not move easily.
This is the case in Soochow now.
Even though Sun Quan and the Soochow families knew that the best way was to follow the general trend, the huge benefits gained and the status quo that could still be maintained made them pretend not to know even if they knew it, and they were still willing to continue waiting until the time came. It's not too late to make calculations when one day it can no longer be maintained.
The complete opposite of them is Zhu Yuanzhang.
Any decision that may threaten the future of the Ming Empire is fine if you don't know it. Once you know it, Zhu Yuanzhang cannot ignore it.
In history, even if he died, Zhu Yuanzhang still left a long ancestral legacy to his descendants. Is it possible that he would pass the known loopholes to the next generation?
In the Ming Empire in the world of comprehensive martial arts, don't their civil servants know that their own Emperor Hongwu is more prepared for them?
They knew it, but they also understood that even though Zhu Yuanzhang was more wary of them, he was still happy to put the reins around their necks, such as large-scale salary increases.
This was simply impossible in the past when the Ming Empire was not connected to all the heavens and worlds.
As an emperor born as a beggar, Zhu Yuanzhang's learning ability is among the best among a handful of people in history.
After learning about the correct system of the modern world, is it possible for people to continue the bureaucracy of the past?
It's just a reference, who doesn't understand?
The Imperial Guards of the Ming Empire still have the same title, but their responsibilities have changed a lot. Even now, the people of the Ming Empire have no fear of them.
Even if the civil servants and generals of the Ming Empire were very wary of the Jin Yiwei, they would not fear them like a tiger.
Their capital city moved to the vicinity of the world channel linked to Liu Hao's earth.
This would have been an event that would have shaken power in any capital move in history, but in today's Ming Empire it has become a tacit understanding shared by everyone.
Because everyone knows that compared with the benefits lost, the possible gains will be more and greater. (End of chapter)
