Daming: What abandoned baby?That is the grandson of the old Zhu family!

Compared with the "smoky atmosphere" in Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial study, outside the palace, Wei Guogong's mansion is much more harmonious.

Li Shanchang happened to be speaking about Mencius to Zhu Xiongying and Xu Jinghan today.

"Mencius attaches great importance to the benevolent government and the kingly way. He advocates that the ruler should save the people's punishment and collect low taxes. If he thinks that the people are violent, he will kill the country with his own body. He also said that the three generations of the world all depend on the word benevolence. , if the politicians are not benevolent, they will lose the hearts of the people and the world." Li Shanchang shook his head and enjoyed speaking very much.

"Then what do you think is violence and benevolence?" Li Shanchang asked.

Li Shanchang walked to Xu Jinghan's side calmly: "How does Jing Han feel?"

Xu Jinghan's dream just started was shattered, and he was so dazed that he didn't hear what Li Shanchang asked.

"Forget it, since you don't want to listen to the old man's lecture so much, then go to the yard and run ten laps before coming back to listen to the lecture, just to give you energy." Li Shanchang said helplessly.

The little guy Xu Jinghan still prefers running and jumping to learning books and listening to homework.Hearing that Li Shanchang punished him to run around the yard instead of doing his homework, he liked it so much that he went happily.

Li Shanchang shook his head and scolded with a smile: "Why is this little bastard so restless?"

Zhu Xiongying shook his head: "Everyone has their own aspirations, and you can't force them to come."

Li Shanchang withdrew his attention and looked at Zhu Xiongying.

"What do Huaiying think?"

"Students think that as Mencius also said in "The Widows in the Country", those who are seventy and clothed and eat meat, the people will neither be hungry nor cold, but those who don't forget will never exist. If this can be done, it will be a benevolent government." Zhu Xiongying talked eloquently.

"Well... then why is it violent?" Li Shanchang asked again.

After such a long time, Li Shanchang has long stopped treating Zhu Xiongying as an ordinary child.Many of Zhu Xiongying's insights are very profound, and Li Shanchang is very willing to listen to his opinions.

"Du Muzhi once wrote in "A Fang Gong Fu" that there are more pillars on the back of the building than the farmers in Nanmu. The rafters of the beams are more than the workers on the machine. The nail heads are more than the millet in Yu. The stitches are uneven, more than the silk threads around the body. Straight fences and horizontal sills are more than the city walls of nine earths. The orchestra is more dumb than the words of the city people." Zhu Xiongying said.

If it was before, Zhu Xiongying hated this kind of class where Zou Zou dropped the book bag, but now I find that I actually like these articles, especially Li Shanchang can explain these things in an easy-to-understand way every time.

"Extravagant and desperate, those in power are like this, and the people are struggling to live." Zhu Xiongying imitated Li Shanchang and said in a dignified manner.

"Then what should we do?" Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Xiongying.

Zhu Xiongying thought for a while, and said: "Whether you are an emperor or a high official, you should not put all the money in your pockets, you should let ordinary people have money in their pockets, at least they don't have to worry about food and clothing. What the people think, should make the people happy."

"Hahaha, what Huaiying said is good." Li Shanchang smiled happily, "You are indeed my student."

Zhu Xiongying felt somewhat complacent in her heart, but her face was still very calm.

After all, a humble person must stand still.

Li Shanchang rolled his eyes, thought of another thing, and asked again: "Huaiying, I still want to ask you a question."

"Excuse me, teacher." Zhu Xiongying sat upright and took some time off.

Li Shanchang seems to have so many questions today, it almost turns into "One Hundred Thousand Whys".

"Teacher feels that I'm getting bored in the mansion recently, and wants to go to the sea to have fun, but Huaiying knows that this matter at sea has been banned by the court."

Zhu Xiongying knew in her heart that Li Shanchang was for the Ming Dynasty's sea ban.

If you want to ask, just say it.

So it was waiting for me here?No wonder there were so many questions today, Zhu Xiongying thought it was a teacher-student role reversal.

Grand Tutor Li Shanchang naturally also knew that the matter of sea ban had recently become a worrying matter for civil and military officials and Zhu Yuanzhang, but his own ability was limited and he couldn't think of a way for the time being, so he thought of asking Zhu Xiongying about it.

Although there is an old saying: If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government.

Ordinary people are not officials in the court, and what they worry about is their parents' shortcomings, daily necessities, let alone ordinary children.If it were an ordinary four-year-old child, maybe he would grab his parents and go to the street to buy candied haws, or just jump up and down to dig out bird eggs.

But Zhu Xiongying is different.

Li Shanchang knew that this child was extraordinary, he just needed to be guided, this child might really be able to give a good idea.

The sea ban has always been a difficult problem in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

The Ming Dynasty has always implemented a policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce, strictly restricting maritime trade, and all citizens of the Ming Dynasty are not allowed to engage in maritime trade without permission.

Over the past few decades, it has indeed guaranteed the stability of the entire economy of the Ming Dynasty and avoided economic fluctuations.

But precisely because of this, the development of the Ming Dynasty's maritime national power gradually stagnated, and later slowly affected the national power of the entire Ming Dynasty.

Speaking of the matter of the sea, it is easy to say, it is nothing more than a matter of imperial decree.

But this is easy to say, but the rules of the Ming Dynasty have been like this since the founding of the country. Now it is not easy for Zhu Yuanzhang to change the national policy immediately.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang included most of the high-ranking officials in the entire Ming Dynasty, and the idea of ​​emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business was deeply ingrained. Besides, it was passed down hundreds or even thousands of years ago, and it did not happen overnight.

Li Shanchang seemed to be joking about the sea ban, but it was not difficult for Zhu Xiongying to see what Li Shanchang meant.

It seems that Zhu Yuanzhang encountered a problem again this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was probably troubled by the sea ban, couldn't sleep all night.

Zhu Xiongying thought it was funny when she saw Zhu Yuanzhang's big dark circles under her eyes when she entered the palace last time.

It seems that being an emperor is not an easy task.

Maybe after more than ten or twenty years, Zhu Yuanzhang will become a glorious "programmer".

"The teacher seems to be unable to go to sea." Zhu Xiongying said along with Li Shanchang's joke.

"Yes, but the old man really wants to go, does Huaiying have a solution?" Li Shanchang continued to ask.

Zhu Xiongying: "Since the matter of the sea ban was ordered by the emperor, it is natural for the emperor to come up with countermeasures."

"Oh? Then, can Huaiying share the worries of your grandpa?" Li Shanchang looked at Zhu Xiongying with a very expectant look.

Zhu Xiongying suddenly felt that Li Shanchang looked like he had a fox's tail, and looked forward to seeing him take the bait, what's the matter?

"The teacher really wants to listen to the students' opinions?" Zhu Xiongying suddenly wanted to tease the old man.

"That's natural!" Li Shanchang said without hesitation.

Zhu Xiongying: Alright, then please give way, I'm going to start pretending!
