But Zhu Yuanzhang recovered a lot of his eye disease, so he couldn't sit still. When he became a prince, he was a diligent and studious person. After becoming the emperor, he had never given up and stopped learning in order to better govern the country.

Now that there is nothing else and nothing to do, Zhu Yuanzhang has returned to his old career and started his learning journey in his old age.

When Zhu Yuanzhang read that love is different and love is different, he watched the Mohist clamoring to attack Confucian hypocrisy, and the Confucian ironic the Mohist innocence.

Of course, the argument was very loud at the beginning.

But as time passed, the ancestors on both sides died. The Confucian Sect was divided into eight schools and the Mo Sect was divided into three schools, and they were divided into four parts in one breath.

The book says that the scholar rebelled and failed for three years.

Zhu Yuanzhang's understanding was even simpler. He hoped that a group of literati could complete some important tasks for the heavy mission of the country, nation, justice, and unification. Then he should not think about it.

It is meaningless, literati are only suitable for arguing in the court.

If you do practical things, a real literati is not enough to see.

They talk about benevolence and righteousness, and they see that sages, sages, current affairs, bad politics, and look closely. They are really the same as they were back then. Those who don’t follow them are bad politics and bad politics.

On the contrary, after so many years, Dong Zhongshu was born in the Han Dynasty, allowing Emperor Wu of Han to respect Confucianism alone. The culture of the Han and Tang Dynasties was so prosperous, and no one had ever talked about whether there was a difference in love or no difference in love.

I used to think that love was different, but he was originally different. For example, when we compare with other princes, there were differences. But this is what we teach all living beings.

"Who will take national justice and national danger to the heart? Well, mark it, love is not bad, and love is both good, right!"

Zhu Yuanzhang did it very simply.

His understanding is even simpler. If an official implements the concept of love being different, be kind to his relatives and friends, and be far away from the people, only cares about the interests of the small family and forgets the interests of all living beings in the world.

Just keep your own money bag and your life hanging, and you will always massacre the city without love or protection towards others.

From Zhu Yuanzhang's perspective, we should naturally educate the princes and grandchildren with love, but from the perspective of all living beings, we should not use love, we should not use love.

An official only loves his family, only cares about the interests of his family, and does not love the people under his rule, regardless of the interests of the people. This is the difference in love advocated by the Confucian school?

Such love is bad, is it really suitable for managing a place?

Zhu Yuanzhang asked himself for his soul.

"But it's not wrong to have a bad love. If you don't love your own children, do you want to love other people's children? If you really do this, that's all the shit."

Zhu Yuanzhang threw the book out directly.

It is right to have different love, and it is also right to have different perspectives and understandings. They are not wrong. The idea of ​​making people crazy really makes Zhu Yuanzhang crazy.

It was at this time that Fang Shiyu entered the house and witnessed Zhu Yuanzhang's angry scene. He went up to pick up the books, sorted them out, and came to Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Why are Your Majesty so angry?"

"Love is a bad thing, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Nodding, Fang Shiyu said, "Of course there is a problem. I can't love my own children. I will love other people's children. If my own relatives don't, I will kiss other people's relatives!"

"Is that right?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.

After his eyes narrowed, Fang Shiyu hesitated and said, "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "There is no mistake in love, and no mistake in love, both love, and not attack. How much have you learned the theory of the Mohist school?"

"I don't know much about the doctrines of the Hundred Schools, but since Your Majesty wants to say that love is not bad, then I can explain it!"

Fang Shiyu admitted that when he came here, he had almost never learned the Confucian concept of governing the country, and the bullshit emperors, scholars and officials shared the world.

"Tell me!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"Love both, reduce killings, and avoid massacres. Even other people's people have the power to be cared for and protected by the court. Of course, the premise is that they help the court and are willing to accept the rule of the court!"

"If you look into it deeply, you have to tell the difference between right and wrong. In the people's homes, it is right to have different love, but if it is placed in the officialdom, love, and bad love, will breed corruption."

"But we cannot say that love is wrong. Because people have selfish intentions."

"I have shallow knowledge. Although the thousand-year debates of sages have been discussed less in later generations, they are not something I can answer." Fang Shiyu shrugged and ended this endless argument.

Love is different, love is different, which one is right and which one is wrong?

Fang Shiyu couldn't explain it clearly, and Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more confused. He couldn't explain it clearly. Seeing that Fang Shiyu stopped talking, he asked, "You came to the Qing Palace. Did something happen to the previous dynasty?"

"Actually, there is nothing big about it. This year's grain production has come out." Fang Shiyu got the news of grain production and rushed to the Ganqing Palace without stopping.

He wanted to tell Zhu Yuanzhang this news so that Zhu Yuanzhang would be happy too.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said, "I know that the whole country produces 100 million stones of grain and 200 million stones of grain. This result is thanks to the corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes you brought back. Tell me, what reward do you want?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said casually, and seemed to realize something in an instant, and smiled and said, "You have nothing to ask for, let's talk about it, what else can you do besides the good news?"

"Your Majesty, the Baochao matter has begun to work. The 26th year of Hongwu is another great harvest year. I intend to invite envoys from all over the country to gather in Yingtian to participate in the grand event."

Fang Shiyu admitted frankly.

"Invite envoys from all over the world? Do you know how much it costs to hold a grand event?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked directly. He had saved money for so many years and had almost never had any grand event.

After more than 20 years of life as an emperor, there are only a few grand banquets.

And before Fang Shiyu's year has passed, he wants to let the foreign envoys enter Yingtian. Isn't this a waste of money?

"Your Majesty, I have found someone to calculate it. According to the past situation, it should cost about three million to enter the capital and the imperial court to hold a grand event."

"But I have a way to make the court earn the money back." Fang Shiyu admitted that holding a grand event, the expenditure of about three million yuan was indeed not large for the Ming Dynasty's annual tax revenue.

But in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, this matter was mainly because there was no need to be done.

However, Fang Shiyu had different ideas.

"Make it back? How can you make money? It's up to you by giving it?" Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the last New Year's Festival banquet, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Fang Shiyu to host the grand event.

Then each envoy received a bunch of Kanhe and purchased it in Yingtian Mansion forever.

Fang Shiyu smiled and said, "It's of course nothing is interesting to rely on Kanhe alone. This time I plan to sell the court's physical taxes publicly at the banquet."

"Just sell the collected silk, tea, porcelain and other items to them at a high price at the banquet!" Fang Shiyu said bluntly.

Turning his head slightly, Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Fang Shiyu with a look of a fool and said, "Selling at the banquet? What do you mean?"

When the outside world purchases, the gold, silver and other items they use flowed into the people. Instead, it would be better for the court to do it all in one breath and then ask them to exchange the goods they brought for the court's treasure banknotes to buy the things that the court priced.

Fang Shiyu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang indifferently.

Even Fang Shiyu considered the process of this banquet clearly. The whole audience mainly focused on the sales situation, and Daming Baochao was the only settlement currency.

Directly promote the Daming Baochao to other countries.

Let them use treasure banknotes to buy things from the Ming Dynasty, exchange all the tens of millions of treasure banknotes from the imperial court for gold, silver and other items, valuable items, and then sell them to them at a price higher than the Ming market.

Reclaim the Ming Dynasty treasure banknote.

After listening carefully, Zhu Yuanzhang remained unchanged, and he stared at Fang Shiyu with the expression of looking at a fool and said, "Aren't you doing this for nothing? Just set a price for them directly and then give them a certain amount of money?"

He stepped forward to support Zhu Yuanzhang, and Fang Shiyu smiled and said, "How can we do that? Our main purpose is not trade, but to promote treasure banknotes. Moreover, there are only so many goods we sell, and there are a lot of them."

"They eventually brought back a certain amount of treasure money and left the Ming Dynasty. In this way, the pressure on the court's treasure money would be reduced sharply."

"She holds a large-scale trade fair every year, allowing them to rack their brains to get the Daming Baobao, and send large amounts of the people's Daming Baobao to overseas."

"If there are fewer treasure money among the people, the purchasing power of treasure money will naturally rebound."

Fang Shiyu said it very clearly and clearly. He wanted to use consumption from other countries to weaken the inflation of the Ming Baochao, so that the Baochao will be left overseas and become a piece of waste paper that can only trade with the Ming Dynasty.

The most terrifying thing is that the Ming Dynasty did not allow foreign countries to trade directly with the private sector, and could only connect with the imperial court. This price is naturally the final word of the imperial court, not the final word of the civil service.

"Are you so optimistic about Baochao?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a serious look.

"The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with this thing. It has been working hard for decades. I think it can be used as military pay, purchase all materials, and completely abolish the circulation of gold and silver!"

Fang Shiyu said bluntly that it would be natural if Baochao was recognized by all the generals and officials of the army and the court promoted it to turn it into the only currency of the Ming Dynasty.

But now, it is obviously not the time! The years of bad seals and bad production of Daming Baochao have not been standardized and over-issued, resulting in the rising number of civilian Daming Baochao without any effective control.

Fang Shiyu still needs to figure out how many treasure money is in the Ming Dynasty and how long it will take for the imperial court to manage the credibility of the treasure money. All of this is crucial and should not be careless.

In addition, Fang Shiyu believes that this is very necessary to promote the Ming Dynasty’s treasure banknotes to the world, so that the vassals around the Ming Dynasty can help the Ming Dynasty resist the inflation caused by the over-distribution of treasure banknotes for more than ten years.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Do whatever you want, do whatever you want. The army of Yingtian Prefecture and the border and local troops in the entire territory will give full support! As long as you don't let these generals go bankrupt!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's request was also very simple. The army was held in his hands. He knew the importance of the army to a country, the stability of the regime, the unity of the country, and the resistance to foreign humiliation.

Any force can be touched, including aristocratic families, gentry, and any class. Zhu Yuanzhang could be ruthless in killing, but he was always cautious about the army, including the military reform that lasted for more than four years since the 22nd year of Hongwu.

Until now, the garrison system has not been completely abandoned, and the source of troops recruited year by year has gradually been limited and weakened.

And he only wants to stabilize the interests of the two classes.

People, soldiers.

Fang Shiyu nodded and said, "Then I'll do it!"

"Go!" Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was plain, without any sense of joy and anger.

......

Kyung-hee Palace.

Beauty Zhang was lying on the bed, looking at Huanling who was walking towards her with a handsome face, with a big belly, and was extremely inconvenient to move. With Huanling's support, she slowly got up.

"Huanling, how long have you been transferred from the East Palace?" Zhang Meiren felt very bored. In the words of later generations, this was probably caused by childbirth depression.
