In the palace of Ganqing.

Liu Shimin stood not far in front of Zhu Xu and reported, "Your Majesty, I have already told Master Bi Ge. Master Bi Ge... has a solemn expression, as if he has a great enlightenment."

Zhu Xu sat cross-legged on the soft collapse with a smile on his face.

Although Bi Ziyan and others were also literati at this time and had the shortcomings of those people, they were not so extreme. There were still some help. At least, when he pointed out the problem, he would not be stubborn and just ended up stubbornly.

"Master Bi is the assistant minister of the cabinet, and I haven't disappointed me." Zhu Xu said with a smile.

Cao Huachun stood on the other side, holding a memorial in his hand, saying, "Emperor, the 'linkage plan' discussed by the Ministry of War and the governors of various places has been completed, and the minister has been submitted to the rank of the officials."

Zhu Xu took it over casually, but did not open it. He looked at Liu Shimin and said, "Tell me about the cabinet's 'new policy' plan this year, which is concise and concise. I will listen to the cabinet's detailed statement in a few days."

Liu Shimin pondered for a moment and said, "Yes. The cabinet divided the overall 'new policy' into four parts: 'scholars, farmers, workers, and merchants'. The cabinet includes the national political system, a series of systems, planning, design, and education, imperial examinations, official appointments, promotions, assessments, supervision, etc. Farmers, including land, household registration, farming, disaster relief, immigration, etc., are quite vast and difficult to summarize. Work, this area is rather vague, with only some general policies, the cabinet's meaning may be to leave a part of it necessary, and the others are sent back to their hometowns and allocate land. The cabinet and the Governor General have formulated a series of commercial rules and regulations, and Guomao Temple and the General Administration of Taxation have participated. After a rough look, it was a bit harsh and the tax was very heavy. It is also planned to add a special business yamen to severely crack down on illegal vendors in order to control the scale of vendors."

"Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce?"

Zhu Xu looked a little surprised, and then he felt that it was something that he expected and thought to himself.

Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce have already included all industries in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Xu basically doesn’t have to worry about scholars and farmers. He has basically determined the political framework, and the cabinet is at most repaired. Farmers, cabinets and people all over the world attach great importance to this, and this is more important than him. However, the cabinet’s ideas in the two parts of "working and commerce" are very different from him.

Zhu Xu roughly understood the idea of ​​the cabinet. In the court and scholars all over the world, it was nothing more than "strange tricks and tricks" that were not suitable for the top. At this time, of course, he would rush back to farm to alleviate the disaster.

Shang, the Ming Dynasty initially charged heavy taxes and severely suppressed merchants, but later it gradually collapsed, and merchants almost became lawless, and even the largest income of the imperial court, the "Salt Administration" was abandoned. At this time, naturally, merchants could not let them "get it for nothing", raise prices, and make huge profits. In their opinion, merchants were afraid that it was a major risk factor affecting national stability!

Zhu Xu thought that the cabinet's policies were mostly intended to restore the harsh laws in the early Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Xu held the memorial in his hand and patted it gently.

Some things cannot be accomplished overnight. Even if he is an emperor and has great power, he cannot ask the people of the world. Even if the six ministers of the cabinet fully understand his thoughts, he cannot tell them, otherwise he will scare these people and will be useless.

"Do you think that I have been making things difficult for the cabinet and the adults of the court?" Suddenly, Zhu Xu looked up at Liu Shimin and Cao Huachun said.

Zhu Xu looked down at the charcoal fire again and said, "Why hasn't it developed? What were the adults of the Song Dynasty doing? Having lost half of the country, they still stopped singing and dancing in West Lake? The generals were suppressed so much that they could not raise their heads. Firearms, a weapon with powerful lethality and defensive power, have not been used. Why? Who is stopping it?"

"I have the Shenji Camp in the Ming Dynasty, but after Yongle, I didn't use firearms much. Although I used them several times in North Korea, the effect was very good. Later, Jiannu rebelled and the Liaodong crisis. The power of the Red Cannons in the Dynasty knew the power of the Red Barbarian Cannons, but there were not many in the entire Liaodong. Can't I build them? Why didn't I pay attention to firearms at this moment? Who was stopping them?"

"The artillery of the Western Barbarians is far superior to the firearms before the Apocalypse. They can be fired thousands of feet away. They have a short cannon that can be fired one hundred feet away. In a country thousands of miles away, with such weapons, they can conquer a country as big as Liaodong. But they have only developed for less than a hundred years, from the Song Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty, four or five hundred years... If there are more than a few decades, the ships are strong and the cannons are powerful... have you ever thought about these consequences?"

"I am guilty!"

Whether or not they realized the danger of this matter, they raised their hands again and apologized loudly.

Zhu Xu was still roasting charcoal fire, saying as if unheard of, "My Ming Dynasty is experiencing an unprecedented period of great change. We must have new methods, new visions, and new angles to see things. We cannot stick to past experiences. There are too many things that the saints have not told us, and we need to explore, study, and judge ourselves. Times change and adapt to local conditions. Whether it is doing knowledge or doing things, they will remain unchanged. They cannot copy and copy everything step by step, always talk about things and shirke responsibility. That is defiling the saints, losing their integrity and losing their character..."

"As the saying goes, wealth is only three generations. After all dynasties, there are verifications. I won't talk about it. Han, Tang, and Song, this is the case. After the Ming Dynasty... After Tumu Fort, my Ming Dynasty was conquered, and the country was reduced again and again, and few caring about it. With the Great Wall, everyone was complacent, and there were no one in a hundred people who made a sharp move..."

"Taizu's contribution to the northern expedition of Tatars and the restoration of China was for thousands of years. Chengzu conquered the desert for five times and moved the capital to Beiping, which was majestic and heroic. Our descendants were unfilial and could barely defend their careers. The towns on the nine sides lost all their faces..."

The civil and military minister listened, his face tightened and did not dare to speak.

Cao Huachun and Liu Shimin were there, silently.

Zhu Xu gently flipped his hands on the carbon furnace and continued, "Although we waited for unfilial descendants without Taizu and Chengzu's grand strategy, we pushed all the responsibility to our Zhu family... Not entirely, I want to do a lot of things over the years, and I am not sure of my own self-constraints inside and outside. If I hadn't been determined to do my own thing, the Ming Dynasty wouldn't have known what it looks like now..."

Many people like Bi Ziyan and others burst into cold sweats on their faces, and their complex expressions were complex. No matter whether they were in the court or were a member of the "constraint", if they were put at that time, they would probably be one of them!

"I am guilty!"

More than thirty people were panicked and raised their hands again.

Zhu Xu looked at his hands, remained indifferent, and said, "I know, you are afraid, worried, dissatisfied with what I have done over the years, doubted, and opposed to the "New Policy", so you are hesitant, hesitant, procrastinated, and greatly reduced. But have you tried to put aside some stubbornness and prejudice, stand on a higher point, look down on these things in the past, have you been calm, have you carefully considered, thought about, and deduced my behavior, policies and plans? What do you think about the future, how will it develop, what variables will there be? Have you ever thought about it?"

"You probably don't. There is a great wall in your heart that circles you. You can't break through, you can only wander around this circle. You can't get out, and you don't want others to go out. This firearm can break these great walls. What you think is not to push these cannons out, or even to protect this great wall. You are afraid of breaking this great wall, so you want to destroy the firearm, just like Zheng He's treasure ship, burned the ship and destroyed the drawings, thinking that it would be safe, but unexpectedly, people thousands of miles away took the boat and fired the door... These Western barbarians thousands of miles away were carrying artillery that was stronger than us... Now, you want to destroy our own cannons..."

Bi Ziyan and others bent over there, their expressions tense, and they were frightened and uneasy.

This matter was more serious than they expected. The emperor did not suppress others with his power, but was "educating" them! "educating" their stupidity and scolding their ignorance!

Zhu Xu took back his hand, closed his clothes, looked at the group of people in front of him, and said, "I have said so much. After I go back, I will write an article of my experience and experience. I hope you all can gain something and understand something. Go back, have a day off and have a good rest."

Bi Ziyan and others had some dry mouths and tongues, their brains were roaring, and they could not think. After hearing this, they raised their hands and said, "I will leave!"

Zhu Xu picked up the teacup in his hand and looked at the backs of the people, feeling quite unsatisfied.
