Imperial Master of the Ming Dynasty

Dao Yan's black cassock trembled slightly, then returned to calm.

But Xia Yuanji realized through Daoyan's eyelids that couldn't help but beat slightly that his mood might not be as calm as it seemed.

After a while!

When the emotions of everyone in the secret room recovered, the trees under the wall also got rid of the brief shock.

Zhu Gaoxu's face changed slightly, and after a moment of silence he sighed: "Yes, although it sounds cruel, it is true."

Zhu Di's expression remained unchanged. Obviously, for a hard-hearted person like him, although it was indeed so unpleasant to break the truth and crush it to pieces, he didn't mind.

"Then, please allow me to introduce a law to you here."

Jiang Xinghuo put down the paper in his hand and said, "First of all, if we look at the history of China for thousands of years, we will come to an obvious conclusion."

“Whether it was Qin Shihuang who conquered the six kingdoms and unified the world, or Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who conquered the Xiongnu in the north, or Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty who actually ended the troubled times of the late Sui Dynasty, or even Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty who revolted in the Chenqiao Rebellion and wore a yellow robe, they always governed the country. Being able to change the system in a big way.”

"The First Emperor of Qin could unify the currency, weights and measures with his writings and carriages, and unify the currency and weights and measures; Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty could implement grace orders, salt and iron monopoly, and relocate powerful men; Li Shimin adjusted and expanded the land equalization system, rent-to-yong regulation, and imperial examination system; Zhao Kuangyin, A cup of wine releases military power, improves the imperial examination system, and strengthens the weak branches."

"There is only one reason why they can do this, and it is not difficult to guess."

Several people almost all thought of the answer unanimously.

Jiang Xinghuo took a deep breath and said:

"Because they have the strongest violence in their hands!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di nodded in agreement. Violence was the most powerful weapon he used to rule the world.

The divine power of kings, the induction of heaven and man, and the imperial edict of Taizu are all bullshit. As long as the handle of the knife in Zhu Di's hand is strong enough, he can cut down all obstacles blocking his way to the throne.

The emperor would rather have the guts. He who has strong soldiers and horses will do it!

The practical experience of countless founding kings has fully demonstrated that if the throne comes out of the knife handle and cannot cut through the obstacles in front of the throne, it only means that the handle of your knife is not strong enough.

"Violence is the source of rule."

"The so-called source rules are the root rules that determine other rules."

Jiang Xinghuo looked at Zhu Gaoxu and said: "What you just said, whether it is the economy of the country and the people, culture, or law, is one of the rules of the management of a feudal country, but in the face of the source rule of violence, these are all ignored. Think about the other rules of decision-making, is that true?”

"That's true." Zhu Gaoxu was a little puzzled, "But Mr. Jiang, I've never seen you advocate violence before."

“Criticism with swords and guns is equally important as criticism with swords and guns.”

Jiang Xinghuo just explained lightly, and then continued: "Then please continue to think about it, I will work as a tenant farmer for others, and part of the food I grow will be my reward; I will work as a porter for others, The copper coins given to me are my reward; I open a pawn shop to lend money, and the interest I get back is my reward. If I go and kill people, what is my reward?"

"Food? Gold and silver? Women? Title? Farm and house?" Zhu Gaoxu guessed.

"For an individual, all of these are possible." Jiang Xinghuo asked in depth, "What if I am not an individual, but a feudal official army? What is the reward for my use of violence?"

Without waiting for the three people to answer, Jiang Xinghuo simply replied: "I call it - blood reward!"

"The first thing I want to talk about is the law of blood reward."

"The so-called blood reward law means that blood reward is a reward for violence. Since violent competition does not create value, the value of blood reward depends on the value of the target of the struggle."

"In the process of violent competition, the core calculation method of violent organizations is how much risk of casualties they can take in order to obtain a certain amount of survival resources, and how much harm they can inflict on their own organization, a resource demander."

After hearing Jiang Xinghuo's words, Zhu Di pondered for a moment, but felt that some of the problems that had troubled him before suddenly became clear.

This lesson was not in vain!

Opening the book is helpful!

In other words, what Jiang Xinghuo taught in this class was really to Zhu Di's liking.

Before, whether it was economics, economics, geography, or astronomy, which Zhu Di had never heard of, Zhu Di felt that it was not satisfying enough!

Yes, it's just not enjoyable enough.

It's hard for Zhu Di to explain why, but that's how he feels.

On the contrary, when Jiang Xinghuo said these shocking words today, "Blood reward is the reward for violence, and the value of blood reward depends on the value of the goal." Zhu Di, a military leader, felt very comfortable listening to it.

Zhu Di thought in his heart: "In just a few words, he explained what is inside. Whether it is a soldier or a bandit, the reward for any violent competition by a violent organization can be summarized as 'blood reward'. This word is simply It couldn’t be a better fit.”

"Jiang Xinghuo, as expected of Jiang Xinghuo. The words he spoke are really straight to the heart and penetrate the essence. I have been fighting for so many years and leading the most powerful violent organization in the world, but I can't say such essential words."

Not to mention Zhu Di's inner feelings, Jiang Xinghuo continued.

"The law of blood reward has three characteristics:

First, blood reward is the gain from violent plunder at the cost of life.

Second, when the blood reward is greater than the cost, violent competition occurs.

Third, violent competition does not create wealth. "

"So what types of management organizations do you think are consistent with the law of blood compensation?"

——————

In the secret room, Zhu Gaochi always felt that something was wrong.

This kind of something is wrong, just like what his second brother Zhu Gaoxu just said.

In the past, Mr. Jiang would not have lectured like this, or in other words, would not have used such extreme views.

Although the country was created by violent organizations competing for resources such as land and population, Zhu Gaoxu believes that the purpose of establishing and maintaining the country is not just to support the violent organization of the government and the army and pay blood rewards to the government and the army.

Otherwise, it would be too narrow-minded.

After all, such a huge country is not only driven by military forces. In peaceful times, the influence of the official army and military nobles on the country is decreasing day by day. Only in troubled times will martial arts be used.

In peaceful times, countries dominated by civilian officials pay more attention to achievements in temples, military, culture, diplomacy, etc.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi thinks it is relatively one-sided to explain state management simply by paying blood rewards to officers and soldiers.

But when Zhu Gaochi thought about it, Jiang Xinghuo probably had some deep meaning.

Therefore, Zhu Gaochi opened his mouth to speak to Xia Yuanji and Dao Yan, but in the end he swallowed it back.

Now that I am questioning and being reckless, I will be slapped in the face later, which will not be very good in terms of face.

After all, after listening to the class for so long, Zhu Gaochi knew not to question Mr. Jiang's reasoning easily. After all, Mr. Jiang almost never made mistakes if he excluded things that could not be verified.

At this time, Dao Yan looked thoughtful.

However, Dao Yan's thoughts did not completely stop at this lesson "National Management" and "The Law of Blood Remuneration".

Jiang Xinghuo's views suddenly became a little biased. Dao Yan had already vaguely guessed that with Jiang Sheng's wisdom, he might have guessed the identity of Zhu Gaoxu or Zheng He or others, and even the identity of Zhu Di. Maybe it was an unspoken thing.

Therefore, Jiang Shengcai would prescribe the right medicine and give him what he wanted, and instill in Zhu Di, a military leader, his favorite strategy for governing the country from the perspective of military organization.

Dao Yan believes that this possibility is very high.

What Dao Yan is more concerned about are actually several other things that are constantly being sorted out and become chaotic.

That is, after Jiang Xinghuo is released from prison, how should he express his feelings to him? In other words, now he has been able to determine Jiang Sheng's ambition, but how to do it and what step to achieve, Dao Yan still can't fully understand Jiang Xinghuo's mind, and this point is undoubtedly very important.

Secondly, Zhu Di had made up his mind and planned to separate the two princes who were fighting for the throne to the point of losing their brains. Then set a period of time and let them develop their ability to govern local areas as the assessment standard for competing for reserves. There will be a weighting coefficient in the middle to balance it. Xia Yuanji has already calculated this weighting coefficient.
