Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

There are really people who take handling government affairs as a hobby.

What kind of weird hobby is this?

Seeing the two men's faces full of disbelief, Zhu Yuanzhang spread his hands.

"What's wrong?"

"I actually only have two skills in this life. One is charging into battle and leading troops in combat, which I learned when I started out."

"Another thing is that we have become increasingly adept at handling government affairs over the past 20 years."

"Well, now that I've abdicated and don't want to be idle, doesn't that mean that handling government affairs is the only thing I can do?"

"We can't lead troops to fight, can we?"

"Who are you going to hit?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's explanation really left Mr. Hu and Zhu Biao speechless.

This explanation is worse than no explanation at all.

Why can't you be like ordinary people, be lazy, take a break, instead of doing something career-oriented?

Seeing that both of them had gotten the answers they wanted, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Master Hu.

"Weiyong, I have answered your question with all my heart. Can you now tell me the answer to the question I asked earlier?"

"What exactly is a test area?"

"Why did you let Biaoer do this?"

When Mr. Hu heard what Zhu Yuanzhang said, he finally remembered it.

I still owe Zhu Yuanzhang an explanation.

Fortunately, this matter is not complicated, so I just answered it directly.

"The so-called experimental zone means a place where national politics can be tested first!"

"I've said before that no matter how this national policy was issued, it was ultimately thought up by the emperor and his ministers at court."

"But whether this new policy is suitable for Ming Dynasty, and whether it will expose unexpected problems after implementation, are all unknown."

"If it was in the past, they would just ignore it and execute it regardless of whether you can do it or not."

"Even if there are any problems, local officials will not bring them to the court in order to keep them secret."

"In other words, even if the incident gets out of hand and reaches the imperial court, if it's not a particularly important issue, it will be covered up to maintain the dignity of the imperial court!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang and his father nodded solemnly.

Obviously, this situation has happened to them more than once or twice.

In fact, just as Mr. Hu said, that's how they got away with it.

But Master Hu spread his hands and said with a smile.

"Now that we know the problem, we have to find a way to solve it!"

“Brainstorming may be a good idea, but it’s not enough.”

"Because brainstorming can't guarantee that only useful people will come, or in other words, it can't guarantee that people can come up with useful ideas."

"After all, officials have social interactions with each other. When faced with a policy proposed by their superiors or relatives and friends, why would they offend others by expressing their opinions?"

"Or to put it the other way around, if someone who has offended you proposes a decree, can you still care whether it's good or not, or just nitpick and refute it?"

"This phenomenon has another name, which is called party strife!"

The father and son of the Zhu family, who had been listening with frowns on their brows, immediately looked disgusted when they heard the name "party struggle".

Without him!

Even from the history books, they have seen enough of the disastrous consequences of various "party struggles".

There is no emperor who is not disgusted by this.

Especially in the previous Song Dynasty, the party struggles that lasted for a hundred years and involved various means of climaxing and using various means destroyed the destiny of the Song Dynasty bit by bit. This was a huge warning to the two of them.

Therefore, when Master Hu mentioned this, they immediately threw aside the so-called "brainstorming" method.

Even though they both thought this method was a good idea before.

However, Mr. Hu did not argue with them about the merits of this method.

Everything you say now is false.

When Zhu Yuanzhang abdicated and began to serve as prime minister in his own fiefdom, he naturally understood the essence of the word "meeting".

Mr. Hu continued to talk about the experimental area.

There is no wrong version in the 6 book forum!

"Since the brainstorming method has its drawbacks, the experimental zone becomes even more necessary."

"According to my understanding, the so-called pilot area is to select a county and implement the new policy that was originally intended to be implemented nationwide here for one or two years."

"Of course, we are not just trying it out here. The main purpose of the test area is for observation."

"Because this test area is under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor and the imperial court, and is even located near the capital, it is undoubtedly the easiest for the imperial court to reach."

"And this makes it easier for the emperor and the court to extend their tentacles as far as possible."

"The emperor not only knows the situation of the county government in the experimental area, but also knows the changes of a certain farmer in the private sector after the implementation of the new policy."

"Only in this way can the emperor truly and clearly see whether this new policy is beneficial to the country and the people."

"In other words, whether the original purpose of the new policy can be achieved will become clear after it is implemented in the pilot area for one or two years and the specific situation among the people is observed."

Having said this, Master Hu clapped his hands with satisfaction.

"Look! At this point, it is clear at a glance whether there is a problem with this new policy and where the problem lies."

"Wouldn't this make it easier for the emperor to make adjustments?"

"Isn't this more convenient than going through all the trouble of investigating the new policy after it has been implemented nationwide?"

"At the same time, it has only been implemented in the experimental area for one or two years. Even if the rumor gets out, the impact won't be that big."

"Then, not only will it not affect the majesty of the emperor and the court at all, but it can also be as perfect as possible!"

"Isn't this much better than the officials in the court making decisions on a whim?"

Having said this, Mr. Hu has finished his explanation.

But Zhu Yuanzhang and his father fell into deep thought at the same time.

What Mr. Hu said made sense, as if not doing it this way would be against the will of heaven.

But for Zhu Yuanzhang and his father, they had too much to consider.

Can this be done?

If there are so many benefits, then are there any disadvantages that have not yet been discovered?

If a pilot zone is really set up, how will the ranks of officials be arranged, and how will the so-called direct supervision methods that reach the people and even farmers' homes be arranged?

Since this place is so important, how can we ensure that the information collected is true?

There are too many things for the two of them to consider here.
