Chapter 217: A strong soldier [please give me a monthly vote!]
Listening to the unclear sound coming from the eavesdropping sound wall, the few people in the secret room fell into deep thought.
Everyone can understand the short stories that Jiang Xinghuo told, and they can't be more straightforward.
It is nothing more than the third son of a corrupt official who received improper education since he was a child, which led to the distortion of his life's value orientation. He believed that being an official means "you will make money by becoming an official, and you will have to sit in the hall to beat people, go out and shout."
Therefore, since the third son studied, the motivation for the imperial examination was not pure. He was to make money, to use his power and blessings in his hands, and to enjoy superior pomp and vanity in all aspects. Then, the result of the third son becoming an official will naturally embark on the road of corruption and abuse of power.
If you meet an emperor who treats local officials as sheep management like the Yuan Dynasty, you will naturally be fine. Unfortunately, if you meet Zhu Yuanzhang, the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, you will have to be stripped of the skin.
The story is not necessarily a real person or a real story, and the truth is not a complicated truth.
But what is outstanding is that one sees the smallest knowledge.
"National Management."
When Zhu Gaochi heard this, his face suddenly became more important and asked: "Has Secretary Xia ever heard of this science? Or, how much does Xia Shangshu know about the management of feudal states?"
Xia Yuanji thought for a moment and replied: "I have never heard of this name, but I have heard of similar principles in managing a feudal country. However, I cannot judge the specific content from this name alone. That is, how does this "National Management" manage a feudal country, so I dare not make arbitrary judgments!"
The old bureaucrat Xia Yuanji was unrestrained and said a lot of nonsense.
It seemed like I had said it, but it seemed like I didn't say anything.
"Since that's the case..." Zhu Gaochi couldn't force the Minister of Revenue to express his opinion, so he turned to Daoyan next to him and said, "What do you think of Master Daoyan?"
Daoyan smiled and said, "Since Jiang Sheng mentioned this matter, he was obviously confident. It must be different from the principles of "Shang Jun Shu" and "Zizhi Tongjian". Why should your highness ask this more? Just listen slowly, and you don't have to be so anxious."
Zhu Gaochi only felt that Daoyan and Xia Yuanji had a strange attitude today, and did not continue to think about it carefully.
No longer thinking about the matter between the two people around him, Zhu Gaochi followed Jiang Xinghuo's words and continued to think about it.
What is feudal state management? Daoyan's answer is that what Jiang Xinghuo said must be different from "Shang Jun Shu" and "Zizhi Tongjian".
What are the people who manage feudal countries? Who is managing feudal countries?
Zhu Gaochi easily came to a conclusion on this issue.
——Officials.
Civil officials and minor officials actually manage this feudal country.
The short story of Jiang Xinghuo as the introduction undoubtedly confirms the answer Zhu Gaochi guessed.
What Jiang Xinghuo wanted to say must be that it is precisely because officials, as people who manage feudal countries, had impure motives for entering the imperial examination at the beginning, and they were just to promote, make money, abuse their power, which made it difficult for feudal countries to manage.
Well, that must be the case, Zhu Gaochi thought silently in his heart.
—————
Under the bare new crooked neck tree.
Jiang Xinghuo looked at the few people and said with a smile: "When explaining the second question, 'Who is the person who manages the feudal country', I must first explain the first question, that is 'What is feudal state management'."
"—What is feudal state management? Since the concept of feudal state was introduced in ancient times, what is the essence of feudal state management?"
Zhu Gaoxu has a very strong desire to perform today.
This strong desire to show in front of the father is roughly the same as when Jiang Xinghuo was a university lecturer in his previous life, when he saw young college students playing ball on the court and standing next to him with a girl with black stockings.
"I have also listened to so many classes from Mr. Jiang." Zhu Gaoxu said repeatedly: "I think the first thing to dominate the feudal state is that the feudal state is the largest force that rules, leads and manages various feudal forces in the country."
Jiang Xinghuo frowned and wanted to correct it. "First" and "First" cannot be used together, but in the end he still held back. Zhu Gaoxu was in high spirits and could not dampen the enthusiasm of the students.
Zhu Gaoxu continued to spit out the stars and flew: "I also think that the second is the management of feudal state, which should also include the control of the economy and culture of feudal states. Feudal state management is not only the ruler's management of the people and other forces, but also the management of all aspects, tangible and intangible things."
As soon as this statement was spoken, Zhu Di really looked at his second son with admiration.
After being trained by Mr. Jiang for a few months, he became a different person. Not only was his temper less irritable, but he was also able to give a very complete answer after thinking about the problem for a short time.
At least, there are first and second, with clear organization and reliable content.
Thinking of this, Zhu Di felt quite old and comforted. He looked at Jiang Xinghuo with a hint of gratitude.
Zhu Di thought to himself: "I originally thought that this stupid boy was helpless, but I didn't expect that after Mr. Jiang's teaching, he actually had a complete transformation. Mr. Jiang's ability is really mysterious. Not only can he predict the future, but he is knowledgeable, but he also has good teaching and educating people. He reminded me of Confucius who taught according to his aptitude."
Zhu Di's thoughts were a little complicated. If Confucius, Jiang Shenghuo were released from prison, he would probably be able to turn the Ming Dynasty's thinking world with his ability with just a mouth and a pen.
However, this is also a good thing for Zhu Di.
After all, in terms of knife handles, no one in this world is harder than Zhu Di's knife handles.
But in terms of pen, Zhu Di's pen is probably much worse than his knife handle. Even Daoyan, who is the most knowledgeable and most deceptive, dared not speak positively to Confucianism. In the past, he could only write articles refuting Cheng Zhu to masturbate.
A true warrior needs to face the behemoth of Confucianism, to withstand the despise of thousands of people, and to bear unparalleled psychological pressure.
Go to war with Confucianism, attack, slander, and insult. Only when a person has no social relationship and does not care about anyone's opinions can he withstand this terrifying pressure.
And Zhu Di thinks that Jiang Xinghuo is such a person.
With the ambitions of the people, one can do the deeds of heaven.
Not to mention how Zhu Di's mind turned, Zhu Gaoxu's side was constantly waving.
"So I think that the management of feudal states requires that feudal states have absolute authority, and must have strict management laws and clear norms."
"If there is no rule and no order, the management of the feudal state will be difficult to maintain for a long time. I think severe punishments should be imposed. Any official who wants to violate the laws of the feudal state management will be severely punished. In this way, there will be no corrupt officials like his third son."
"How is the daylily peeled? I want to say that I must restore the cannon of King Zhou of Shang (that is, apply oil on the copper pillar, add charcoal to heat, so that the guilty people can walk on it, and fall into charcoal and burn to death), and put them in a pot (that refers to peeling people clean, applying herbs that lure poisonous snakes, throwing them into the pit, and feeding them to poisonous snakes)!"
Jiang Xinghuo: "..."
Zheng He: "…"
Zhu Di: "..."
Zhu Di glanced at his second son and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It's so cruel, it's more than he can kill the ten clans."
"What you said is not unreasonable." Jiang Xinghuo said: "Okay, let's get back to the point, the management of feudal states can be understood literally by understanding the management of various things by feudal states. However, in the case of lectures, we do not need to pay close attention to these, but to conduct an essential analysis of them."
Jiang Xinghuo solemnly asked: "If you want to explore the management of feudal states, you must first explore the feudal state. What is the process of establishing a feudal state? Tell me directly about your first reaction, don't think, don't hesitate."
"The strong soldiers and horses want to be the king!"
Zhu Di and Zhu Gaoxu said this almost at the same time.
The two turned their heads in surprise and looked at each other, and turned their heads at the same time.
This sentence comes from "The New History of the Five Dynasties: Biography of An Chongrong". An Chongrong was a subordinate of Shi Jingtang and was a hawkish faction against Liao. An Chongrong once said to people: Is it better for the emperor to have a genitals? Those who have strong soldiers and horses do it.
From the moment this famous saying was spoken, it had become the motto destined to be regarded as a criterion by the military leaders.
Zhu Di was the largest military leader of the Ming Dynasty at this time, and was the leader of the army who started his rebellion.
But it doesn't sound nice to say this.
But obviously, since the father and son are so synced, it means that what they are thinking in their hearts is indeed this set of things, so they directly answered this answer in this question that requires a first reaction.
Jiang Xinghuo slapped Zheng He's thigh, nodded and said, "That's exactly!"
Jiang Xinghuo was definitely so straightforward, which made Zhu Gaoxu feel a little uncomfortable.
Jiang Xinghuo, however, just recalled: "We have said in the "National Fortune" that in ancient times, the emergence of the tribes to tribal alliances and then to feudal countries was because after the people in the Yellow River Basin fully exchanged materials using water transportation, under the leadership of the two necessary classes of aristocrats and wizards, they gradually formed temple organizations like feudal countries to better coordinate the development of manufacturing power."
"But the process of establishing a feudal state is by no means peaceful or peaceful, but is destined to be accompanied by bloody killing and endless wars."
Jiang Xinghuo paused and continued: "The famous Battle of Zhuolu was a great battle between the Yellow Emperor tribe and the Yan Emperor tribe and the Chiyou tribe. The purpose was to compete for a larger territory and a larger population. As more such wars were carried out, feudal countries were established."
