Chapter 109 What is the right track?
Yun Zhao felt that it was necessary to be quiet, so he went to Zhongnan Mountain and lived in the Golden Immortal Temple.
The Golden Immortal Temple is not a great Taoist temple. The problem is that there is a Taoist Liang Xingyang who has changed from a brave man to a madman and from a madman to a wise man.
Yun Zhao felt that this guy had something he needed.
Since coming to this world, Yun Zhao's identity has been changing constantly, from a stupid young master from a landlord family to the only heir of the bandit family, to the magistrate of Lantian County, to the great hero who plotted against the world, and finally to the emperor.
Every change in identity is not an easy task for Yun Zhao.
Especially the last two identities have had a great impact on him.
Whether it is a hero in troubled times or an emperor, it is the most exciting part of a person's life journey.
Huge power brings great temptation.
Yun Zhao clearly felt that if he hadn't had a supreme pride in his body, he would have become very strange at this time!
Throughout history, it is never the court that defeated the rebel army, but the rebel army itself.
Therefore, after knowing that he was the heir to the robber family, Yun Zhao tried his best to avoid making himself a peasant uprising army.
Compared with Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong, Yun's family is actually considered a gentry.
Since he is a squire, he cannot do things like Li Hongji and the others. Yun Zhao knows that when the fire of the uprising burns, no one can control him.
Zhu Yuanzhang is an exception. The reason why he succeeded was entirely because the ruler at that time was the Mongols!
The gentry uprising is obviously different from the peasant uprising. Their organization is more tight, their goals are clearer, and their methods are more cunning. They are generally the pickers of the fruits of peasant uprisings.
Yun Zhao followed this path.
Sure enough, he had the last laugh.
The lame Liang Xingyang married a wife and gave birth to a beautiful and healthy son.
He resigned from his position as the administrator of the Tushan Cemetery in Lantian, returned to Jinxian Temple and became a happy Taoist priest again.
He is really happy...the kind of joy to enjoy life.
He cultivated several acres of land but did not take care of it carefully. He would have as much as he had left after eating insects and eating birds.
He had a small orchard, and he didn't take care of it much. When the fruits were ripe, the people who came to Zhongnan Mountain to pick some of them and didn't care about them. He would collect the money when he didn't pay. He would casually not pay. The remaining fruits ripened and fell on the ground, and he was happy.
He also had a watermelon field. The watermelons in the field were not well taken care of, but they grew very well. However, the melons here were not too big and tasted good. Except for eating some by themselves and giving some, the rest were stolen by children in nearby villages.
He always smiled, with a bit of "leading a cup of wine to drink by himself, and scenting the garden to enjoy his face. He leaned against the south window to express his pride, and carefully looked at the easy and peaceful knees. He waded the garden to make fun of the day, and although the door was set, he always kept the door. He helped the old man to rest, and he kept his head open and watched. The clouds had no intention to come out of the mountains, and the birds were tired and flew back to know that they returned. The scenery was shady and was about to enter, and he was caressing the lonely pine and lingering.'
In fact, it is so great that a master gets.
As long as your behavior is unique and everyone is happy, then you must be a master.
It is difficult for Yun Zhao to find a ripe watermelon in his watermelon geography.
Liang Xingyang lifted up a pile of wheat straw. Under the wheat straw, there were a few watermelons with unique appearance, each of which looked ripe.
He winked and picked one like a child who offered treasures. After cleaning it with clear spring water, he gently pounded his fist and the watermelon burst open. The bright red melon meat seemed to be painted with a layer of cinnabar.
“This is the best.”
Liang Xingyang handed it to Yun Zhao halfway, and the two sat by the spring water, sucking the melon seeds with their hands.
The children who were swimming under the stream saw that the two of them had a melon to eat, so they came out of the water naked and crawled in the melon field for a long time, but couldn't find a ripe watermelon, so they had to return to the water, praising the good luck of the watermelon Taoist, and actually found a ripe one.
It can be seen that Liang Xingyang hopes that Yun Zhao will ask him why he has such a peaceful state of mind. Unfortunately, Yun Zhao just kept his head open and didn't ask about Liang Xingyang's changes.
"Your Majesty, don't ask me if I'm sick again?"
Liang Xingyang finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Yun Zhao raised his head and looked at Liang Xingyang and said, "If the person who is sick can be as happy as you, just start the disease, what's the matter?"
"I married a very good wife!"
Yun Zhao nodded and said, "It's really good. I can indulge you in a lazy state. If I have such a piece of land, my two wives will definitely urge me to turn the Golden Immortal Temple into the largest Taoist temple in the world as soon as possible, expand the land here to the end of the sky, and then plant watermelons all over the world."
"The main reason is that my wife gave me a baby bump."
"My two wives gave me three baby bumps."
"So, I'm very satisfied and I have nothing to ask for."
"I can't do it, I want more things, I'm just starting out."
Yun Zhao hollowed out the watermelon, put the melon peel bowl into the stream, watching it float downstream.
"So your Majesty is not happy."
"Hmph, I'm happy, you're going to be in trouble."
"Oh, that's right, hahaha, this is Your Majesty's trouble. It seems that my little Golden Immortal Temple cannot carry His Majesty's sorrow."
Yun Zhao washed his hands in the stream, left the melon field, and followed the legendary Zhongnan shortcut to Zhongnan Mountain with his hands behind his back.
Under an old pine tree, Chang Guoyu has been waiting here for a long time.
He came to Yushan from Lantian City to explain Sun Guoxin's previous behavior.
Before he could speak, Yun Zhao waved his hand and said, "Half of what he said in the Guoxin memorial is correct. The politics and education must be separated. This is what we have set before. I am very happy that he can stick to this.
At the same time, religion should be compassionate and kind. I also agree with this. He can pursue the great light and great perfection he yearns... But! Government affairs should not be like this.
The word rule sounds ordinary, but since the beginning of these two words, he has a bloody smell, and it’s better that he doesn’t get contaminated.”
Chang Guoyu was surprised by Yun Zhao's understanding of Sun Guoxin, but he quickly said: "Your Majesty, Sun Guo's confidence is as innocent as a child."
Yun Zhao looked at Chang Guoyu and said, "Did you say I didn't explain it clearly?"
Chang Guoyu was stunned for a moment and said, "I'll make it clear."
Yun Zhao said with satisfaction: "Speaking of this, Sun Guoxin is a real good person. Later, when he was studying Buddhism, he inspired his kind-hearted side, so he is a good person.
Like you, you can't be a good person, so you will leave the matter of tying the Mongolians to you."
When Chang Guoyu heard this huge appointment, he did not show a happy expression, but pondered for a moment: "I can hold on for about five years, up to eight years. In eight years, Your Majesty should find someone to replace me."
Yun Zhao glanced at Chang Guoyu and said, "I think it's beautiful. I will only be replaced in five years. This is the permanent case for the imperial court to appoint officials from most of the foreigners."
Chang Guoyu said: "Okay, I'll take it. But I hope to change the method of restraint. It is no longer a method of economics as the auxiliary, but a method of deterrence by force. If it can be replaced by economics as the main and military deterrence by force, I will have the confidence to regain the hearts of the people within five years."
Yun Zhao looked at Chang Guoyu and said, "What are you going to do?"
Chang Guoyu said: "In Mongolia, the Lantian Law was implemented first, and the commercial law was implemented. Two years later, the Lantian Law was fully implemented. From now on, scholars were selected from prisoners to enter the pastoral area. Each pastoral area was set up to promote Chinese language."
Yun Zhao nodded and said, "Is it feasible?"
Chang Guoyu frowned and said, "It must be done even if it is not feasible. This is the prerequisite for loosening the Mongolians. The ministers will inform Sun Guoxin that he must cooperate with us to complete the process of the sinicization of the Mongolians."
Yun Zhao thought for a while and said, "There are many prisoners who have read books in Jiangnan."
Chang Guoyu smiled and said, "I understand."
Yun Zhao was very satisfied with Chang Guoyu.
At least this guy’s advice is very reliable, unlike Sun Guoxin’s kind of approach to others without any bottom line.
The country's policies cannot be good to a certain ethnic group for no reason. That is unprincipled. While being good to you, you must also make certain contributions to the country.
These two complement each other. If the country simply treats you well but you have no contribution to the country, this is the country's fault.
If you make contributions to the country, but the country has not formulated corresponding policies to cater to you, this is also the country's fault.
The best strategy is to blend in with water.
Han Xiufen fully understands these profound truths. Her political comments have always been outstanding, but in Malacca, she has not used any political commentary strategies she has written.
The reason why I don’t use it is because it’s completely useless. If you use it, the local people can’t understand it. This is doing useless work.
On the sea, force is the most important thing. Whoever has a big ship and a sharp cannon will be the king.
This is a truly barbaric land. Whoever ignites the light of civilization here will be a complete loser.
It's ridiculous to say that civilization is the symbol of the world's progress."
However, civilizations are always destroyed by savagely, and there are countless examples of this.
Therefore, Han Xiufen is still very savage until now.
It’s not that Han Xiufen thinks he is barbaric, but that everyone who is active in this sea area and on the land thinks Han Xiufen is a barbarian.
After receiving five iron-shelled ships from Shi Lang, Han Xiufen became even more savage.
Because, she started collecting taxes on the Strait of Malacca.
Her trade rules are very simple. She wants 10% of the goods to enter the South China Sea from outside Malacca to use as tax. She also wants 10% of the goods to enter the Indian Ocean from the South China Sea to enter the South China Sea through Malacca to use as tax.
The person who suffers the most from this rule is the Dutch East India Company, which has the largest trade volume.
