Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Even Fang Xiaoru was a little dazed when he heard it. No one had ever told him such a thing, and even the teacher Song Lian had never thought of such a level.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Tao opened up the conversation box and continued his speech.

"So at the end of the dynasty, it doesn't matter whether the emperor is a wise king or a foolish one. At that time, there is only one way to go, which is to take back the annexed land and redistribute it! The way of heaven is permanent, not for Yao, Don't die for Jie!"

Fang Xiaoru was completely stunned, he really didn't know what to say next.

As the self-proclaimed number one debater in the world, he really wanted to refute Zhu Tao instinctively, but he didn't know how to refute.

After all, Zhu Tao's remarks just now are almost flawless in logic, and a few words can perfectly summarize the rise and fall cycle of the dynasty.

And those knowledge and arguments I had at the beginning, in the face of Zhu Tao's words, are simply child's play.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that Zhu Tao's words were really reasonable, so he also put away his frivolity, and his complexion became serious.

Zhu Tao's words, even in Daming's situation, there is no problem at all.

In fact, on the basis of Zhu Yuanzhang's rebellion, Daming took over a large amount of unowned land from the nobles of the Yuan Dynasty and distributed it to the people, and then let the people have farmland, and the world will naturally stabilize.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang also rewarded the land to many founding heroes and princes and nobles. The land under the name of a prince has millions of acres. If this development continues, many people will have no land to grow , and thus rise up?
It's just that now is the beginning of the founding of the country, and the people have not reached the bottom line of patience. It's just that if this development is allowed to continue, that day will eventually come.

At this time, Song Lian looked at Zhu Tao worriedly, and Zhu Tao's words had already frightened him a lot.

"Young master, what do you think we should do? How can we escape this cycle?"

Zhu Tao laughed, he looked at Song Lian and said.

"Mr. Song, there is already a solution, and our Ming Dynasty has already implemented it. That is to do business! Daming is also a traditional agricultural country. It has always emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, but His Majesty is also a wise man. Lord, he followed his advice and established the National Commercial Department and other government offices, and began to support businessmen, isn't this a good thing?"

What he said, both Song Lian and Fang Xiaoru were almost dumbfounded. In their consciousness, they didn't seem to take businessmen seriously.

However, Zhu Tao was still talking about his own point of view, ignoring the surprised expressions of the two of them.

"In the final analysis, Daming is short of money now. The lack of money is actually a lack of silver, and there is no way for commodities to circulate. Doing business is not like bartering in ancient times. Whether it is a small merchant or a rich landlord, you can get If the money is not for consumption, then I won’t focus on those few acres of fields!”

"When everyone has money in their hands, who cares about the income brought by those acres of land? Isn't this cycle of Daming being revitalized by then? I'm afraid when everyone has money, you beg others to plant land People don’t want to grow it, so if they have money, they can buy things!”

Neither Song Lian nor Fang Xiaoru could digest Zhu Tao's words for a while.

In their eyes, businessmen are actually an unstable group. If businessmen are taken seriously, what will happen if social unrest is caused?This is a difficult thing to solve.

Especially in this era, Zhu Tao's point of view is astonishing as earth-shattering, no wonder everyone is not shocked.

Seeing their expressions, Zhu Tao felt nothing strange. After all, this was the feudal era, and their thinking was limited, so this expression was quite normal.

However, there is nothing wrong with what I said, after all, it has been verified by history.

Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, when capitalism sprouted in the rich and prosperous Jiangnan, they could ignore soldiers and stone tools. After all, people in Jiangnan rarely died of cold and hunger at that time.

In the Chongzhen era, half the sky in Liaodong was already popular, and Jiangnan was full of singing and dancing. In the final analysis, it was rich.

However, Zhu Tao's words just now were indeed too damaging for Fang Xiaoru and Song Lian, which made them almost dumbfounded and a little speechless.

Song Lian knew a lot about Zhu Tao. Whether it was his policies that benefited the country and the people, or many inventions that enriched the country and the people, Song Lian admired him deeply.

But Fang Xiaoru didn't know much about it. Originally, he came to debate with Zhu Tao this time, and the direction of the debate was the way of Confucius and Mencius.

Because this young man who had achieved great ambitions at the top of the second-class Jinshi can be regarded as a leader among scholars, and when it comes to debates, he has never lost.

But now he was completely baptized by Zhu Tao's words, and he couldn't find any traces of the way of saints and Confucius and Mencius in these words.

Although Zhu Tao's remarks are not related to traditional Confucianism at all, they are still completely logical, and you cannot refute them in principle.

Fang Xiaoru felt a little out of control. He was a well-learned Confucian, and he became an official of the East Palace at a young age, Zhan Shi of Zhan Shifu, which can be said to be a success.

But when I faced Zhu Tao, I was like a primary school student, unable to open my mouth all the time, so I had to quietly follow the teacher's teachings, and couldn't argue at all.

In other words, after this debate, he basically lost his helmet and armor, and he was ashamed to lose.

At this time, Fang Xiaoru's face was covered with beads of sweat. He felt that even if he lost, he could not lose his momentum, but he was obviously shorter than Zhu Tao by more than one head in terms of momentum.

Looking at him like this, Zhu Tao thought it was a little funny, so he asked with a smile.

"Is there anything else you want to say?"

Fang Xiaoru ate his food, held back for a long time before uttering a sentence that he was not very confident about.

"But the books of sages and sages don't say that, and the Tao of Confucius and Mencius doesn't say that either!"

Zhu Tao laughed, the guy in front of him really looked like a rotten Confucian with a poor head and a poor background, he could only sit and talk, but he had no idea what to do.

"You talk about the way of Confucius and Mencius, but shut up about the words of the sages, but how many countries have become prosperous and powerful because of the ways of Confucius and Mencius and the words of the sages since ancient times! If you want to learn to cook, you have to learn from a good cook. If you want to learn carpentry, you have to I have to find a good carpenter, when will the people be able to feed and support their families relying on the words of the sage?"

Fang Xiaoru's expression changed instantly. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to admit that what Zhu Tao said was really reasonable.
