Chapter 173 I am the world

Zhu Youxiao knew that although Fang Congzhe was one of the smartest people of this era.

But due to the times, he cannot be like himself, and can see what seems impossible to achieve in this era but will become a reality in the future.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao's understanding of the doubts that Fang Congzhe has shown now makes it clear.

"First of all, there is a clear purpose. I will not hesitate to implement the new policy with thunder means. The purpose is actually not to 'rob the rich and help the poor', but to make our Ming Dynasty strong and the people rich!"

"What is a strong country and a rich people?"

"That is, there is no war outside and no refugees inside, and the world will be safe for a long time!"

"But the so-called strong country and rich people do not mean that this is enough. After the country is strong, it will be stronger! If the Donglu destroys the Eastern Cap, other external troubles must be eliminated and even real world unification!"

"It doesn't mean that the people of the people are rich enough. They also have to let the people of the Ming Dynasty not be hungry or cold in the future, and even eat meat and even read and write essays every time, and their moods will be rich!"

Can everyone eat meat and even read?

Fang Congzhe was shocked after hearing this. He did not expect that his Majesty would have such ambition.

I'm afraid that even if you kill all the powerful and powerful gentry in the world, you won't be able to complete it.

When did Your Majesty have such unrealistic ambitions?

Who taught His Majesty that has such empty ambitions!

Now the only lecturer in the imperial lecture is Xu Guangqi. Could it be that Xu Guangqi taught him?

This Xu Guangqi! Is this going to let His Majesty take Wang Mang's path?!

When Fang Congzhe thought of this, he wanted to teach Xu Guangqi a few words now.

But now, Fang Congzhe knew that he had to advise His Majesty in this matter, after all, this was related to the future fate of His Majesty the Emperor and his confidants like him.

In Fang Congzhe's view, appropriately attacking the powerful and creating another prosperous era with strict disciplines and a prosperous country and a prosperous people as well as Yongle, which will make the Ming Dynasty rejuvenate, which is already the best achievement!

And it is impossible to become richer in the Ming Dynasty!

It’s not that Fang Congzhe really doesn’t want to do this.

As the chief minister of the empire, he will now also look at the problem from a non-class standpoint.

It is because Fang Congzhe knew that the world had limited food and meat, and even the emperor, officials, scholars and people were equal and rich.

Therefore, Fang Congzhe had to say: "Your Majesty! In my opinion, since ancient times, the common people have not starved to death or exposed their bodies in the wilderness. If everyone really wants to eat meat every time and read books and write essays, it would be really difficult!

Therefore, even Emperor Wen of Sui, Emperor Taizong of Tang, and even Emperor Taizu of Ming Dynasty, did not dare to have their ambitions. Your Majesty's wisdom is naturally far away from the kings of previous dynasties. However, it is still difficult to accomplish this. After all, the world's money and grain are limited, and even if the land is equal, it is difficult. Because to achieve this, it is not just about human affairs, but also about destiny! Therefore, please think carefully about it."

Fang Congzhe crawled on the ground as he spoke, becoming a little nervous.

He was worried that the young and energetic Emperor would be furious and punish him for this.

Zhu Youxiao was not angry and said calmly: "You don't need to remind you of this! I know that even if I and you, the chief minister, also farm and raise livestock, it is difficult for everyone to eat meat every time. Now it is impossible for everyone to study. If one person studies, the whole family will lose one labor force and have to use more food to raise him. Even if I ask the society to teach children for free, many people will not let their children study and make them less work in the family!"

Fang Congzhe breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself that His Majesty understood.

Zhu Youxiao continued, "But you can't dare not think like this because of this!"

Why think about what is impossible?

Fang Congzhe was a little puzzled, but he couldn't ask directly, so he had to continue saying: "Please give me instructions!"

Zhu Youxiao said patiently: "And I believe that as long as you, my king and his ministers work hard in this regard, this day will come! I am the emperor and my destiny is in me. Only in this way can I follow the destiny of heaven. If not, the destiny of heaven will have nothing to do with me!

You just said that to achieve that everyone is rich, it is not just about human affairs, but also about destiny. This sentence is correct.

If everyone wants to be rich, it depends not only on human affairs, but also on me, the emperor. Even a generation of emperors may not be enough, and it will take several or even dozens of emperors. This requires us to start thinking this way in advance, and then plan for this. They think that I am just trying to seize their benefits and realize the revival of the Ming Dynasty. But in fact, I am just trying to create greater wealth! To create greater wealth, we can only gather greater power first so that everyone, whether it is powerful, gentry or the people, must obey my orders."

Fang Congzhe understood what Zhu Youxiao meant and thought that as long as His Majesty did not think about fulfilling such ambitions with his own generation, otherwise he would be afraid that he would really force the world to rebel.

But Fang Congzhe was still a little worried that the emperor would really teach the kings of future generations who would continue to do this.

Fang Congzhe did not really oppose making the people of the Ming Dynasty richer, but was worried that if the kings of later generations continued to do so, they could only continue to attack the powerful and noble gentry. But the key is that according to the reality, even if the kings of later generations killed all the meat eaters, or even went to the fields to farm without a salary, it would not be possible to achieve a situation where everyone was rich.

Therefore, Fang Congzhe had to ask again: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, if this continues, will it still be necessary to equalize the land and be rich, and will there be no wealthy family in our Ming Dynasty?"

"No! Many of the powerful and powerful gentry in the world also support the court. I don't really regard them as enemies. After all, I am the emperor and will not be a bandit unless I have to. Therefore, my original intention is not to kill them all, and even my original intention is to hope that they can be more powerful and more strategic! Go to open up the territory!

After Longwan, the imperial court had turned on and off, and they could go outside to earn more money and food back!

But they disappointed me very much. Needless to say, they opened up borders and built up territory, and even guarded Liaodong was afraid of spending money!

They also made a lot of money by smuggling, but they either buried the soil or used it to merge land and bribe officials. In other words, after they had money, they did not think about how to make more money from outside, but instead stared at the acres of land in the hands of the people, staring at the little taxes of the court, and wished they could swallow all the money and grains for the court. They made a fortune in silence!

In short, they now have no king as a king in their eyes and forgot the way of loyalty to the emperor; the other is that they are short-sighted, because the people in the country are easy to deceive and deceive, and they blindly want to gain profit from the people and the court, and even help foreign enemies to gain benefits from the people and the court, hoping to help foreign enemies to engage in a trick of changing the dynasty, which is so good to follow the dragon!

If they had the power of making money in their eyes, as the king, as they were the country of Ming, and were cruel to the outside world, and they would do their best to make money, and they would only have to share a little profit from external gains to the court and the people of the world. Even if they were ten or even a hundred times richer than they are now, I would not do anything to them! They would even encourage them to seize profits from the outside!

But they don’t plan to let me share the profits with them now, and even want to dig my back. And I am the world, and they will only destroy the world if they do this!

Therefore, I can only eliminate these powerful people who are not in my eyes, support new powerful people who are loyal to me and have more visionary knowledge, and let these new powerful people benefit the world with me!"
