Traveling through history leaving a name

Chapter 413 Theory of Reform
Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, Zhu Youxiao said: "Is it just like you, teacher, that Grandpa Huang entrusts you to do so many things, so he doesn't have to do it himself, and teacher, you entrust most of the things to your subordinates?" You don’t have to be so tired if people do it.”

"It's almost like this."

Zhang Qingfeng nodded and said: "In history, Zhuge Liang, who had to do everything himself, did not open up the living space for the Kingdom of Shu even if he was exhausted because he had to personally take care of everything."

"And Tang Taizong Li Shimin was very good at employing people. With his efforts, he created the rule of Zhenguan and laid the foundation for the 300-year continuation of the Tang Dynasty."

Zhang Qingfeng said to the two: "A person's power must be limited. Only with more talents can the country be rich and powerful. Look at me, Teacher, I used Wei Zhongxian to take down the entire Ryukyu Kingdom. I used Chen Guangping to take down the entire Ryukyu Kingdom." Japan."

After a pause, Zhang Qingfeng continued: "I also reused Yang Jikang to defeat Lin Danhan in the grassland, and now Yang Jikang has conquered the entire Luzon Island."

"In addition to Yang Jikang, there is also Tian Jie, who used to be an officer under Chen Guangping. Now he leads the Royal Fleet to defeat the Europeans occupying the Strait of Malacca, and brings millions of taels of silver to Ming every year."

"There is also Zhang Changshun, who led the army to garrison Zhangjiakou, intimidating all the grassland Tatars who dare not move."

"Teacher, we understand that a person's energy is limited, and only by appointing talents reasonably can we accomplish great things, right?" Zhu Youxiao said to Zhang Qingfeng.

"It's like this. In addition to appointing talents, we also need to cultivate talents. Only by constantly cultivating talents can the country become prosperous." Zhang Qingfeng nodded and said.

"Teacher, what do you think of corrupt and honest officials?" Zhu Youxiao asked Zhang Qingfeng.

"Corrupt officials! There is no way to avoid this in any dynasty, but no matter what, if corrupt officials are found, they must be dealt with strictly. Don't let the officialdom make corruption into an unspoken rule on the surface. To embezzle them must be an act of spat."

After a pause, he continued: "As for honest officials, honest officials are naturally good, but they cannot be reused as long as they are honest officials. If an honest official has no talent, he cannot be placed in an important position. Otherwise, it is better to be able to do things. Corrupt officials."

Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, Zhu Youxiao was thoughtful.

As for Zhu Youjian on the side, the little boy was full of question marks.

He was only seven years old, and he still didn't understand what the adults said.

"Teacher, there are so many corrupt and corrupt officials in our Ming Dynasty, what should I do in the future?" Zhu Youxiao asked Zhang Qingfeng in a low voice.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's question, Zhang Qingfeng understood what he meant.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Qingfeng said: "It's actually very easy to rectify the administration of officials. As long as you have the determination to punish corrupt officials for a long time and ruthlessly, the administration of officials will naturally gradually improve."

"The biggest problem in Ming Dynasty now is the problem of uneven distribution of wealth. The land mergers in our Ming Dynasty are serious. 80.00% of the land is in the hands of less than 20.00% of the people. The common people only have less than [-]% of the land, but they have to bear the responsibility. All the land taxes of Ming Dynasty.

This is extremely unfair, and it is also very dangerous. In case of natural disasters and man-made disasters, when the common people starve to death without enough to eat, they will rise up and overthrow my Ming Dynasty. "

Zhang Qingfeng said: "In the past few years, the natural disasters in Ming Dynasty have become more and more frequent. I guess there will be many natural disasters in the future. This kind of situation has happened many times in history, and every time it happens, it will cause huge social turmoil. , 80.00% of the dynasties were destroyed in such natural and man-made disasters.”

"It's a good thing that the people affected by the disaster have been immigrated overseas. Otherwise, if so many people who don't have enough to eat make a mess, although it won't shake Daming's state, it will also hurt Daming's vitality."

Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, Zhu Youxiao thought for a while and asked, "Teacher, is the best way to solve the annexation of my Daming land is to emigrate overseas?"

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's question, Zhang Qingfeng thought for a while and said, "Immigrating overseas is just a way to treat the symptoms, not the root cause."

“Even if half of the Ming Dynasty’s population were to immigrate, the population would still continue to grow as time goes by, and we would still face the same problems.”

Zhang Qingfeng said: "Land merger is essentially a kind of wealth polarization. In addition to land, there are also money, status, and various resources, etc., which are all kinds of wealth."

"If huge wealth is kept in the hands of a few people for a long time, various social contradictions will accumulate, and when the contradictions accumulate to a certain extent, they will explode."

"What we have to do is to alleviate this contradiction of wealth polarization." Zhang Qingfeng said.

"Then how to alleviate this contradiction?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"It's very simple, let the people have food to eat, let the people have a sense of security, let the people have a level of advancement..."

Zhang Qingfeng said: "As long as these things are done, Daming can last forever."

After listening to Zhang Qingfeng's explanation, Zhu Youxiao still looked puzzled.

"What should I do specifically?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

"First of all, let the people have food to eat. To achieve this, we must continue to develop agriculture. For example, the several high-yield crops I promote can solve the problem of people's food in a short time."

"But this is not enough. If we want to feed all the people, we need to continue to develop industry and commerce. This will allow the people to make money. Only when the people have money will they not be unable to survive natural disasters."

Zhang Qingfeng said: "As for making people feel safe, it is necessary to create a fair social environment. This aspect has a wide scope."

"For example, it is necessary to formulate a sound legal system to reduce the existence of corrupt officials and bullies. There is also tax reform, so that people with only 20.00% of the land cannot bear the agricultural taxes of the entire Ming Dynasty, etc., and many other aspects are needed Constantly changing."

"As for the advancement of the common people, this is easy to understand. If you look at the ministers in the court, you can see how many of them come from the families of ordinary people. Almost all the officials are from their ancestors or Families with very wealthy families, almost none of them come from the families of ordinary people.”

"It can be said that the class of the entire Ming Dynasty has been completely solidified. It is almost more difficult for ordinary people to climb to the position of court minister, so if one day you become...you must find a way to change this and give more money to the poor. Give the children some opportunities so that the people can see the hope of shining on the lintel, so that the Ming Dynasty can have hope." Zhang Qingfeng said to Zhu Youxiao.

Hearing Zhang Qingfeng's words, Zhu Youxiao nodded thoughtfully, with a serious expression.

He said: "If there is such a day, I will definitely try to change some of the bad situations in Ming Dynasty."
