Chapter 30 It turns out that the emperor’s good intentions led to bad things To know.
Zhu Feng's quarrel returned to his quarrel.
But in his heart, the status of Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was not ordinary.
Coupled with the idea of divine right of kings instilled by the great Confucians in the university hall.
Deeply rooted in his heart.
In his subconscious mind, there is nothing that his father cannot do.
These days, Lin Che gave Zhu Ping classes, which broadened his horizons and instilled some ideas that subverted his cognition.
As I always thought before, my father was the destined emperor.
What the father said and the policies he formulated...are undoubtedly beyond doubt.
However, Lin Che used her rich knowledge to break this perception one by one.
It also shook his inner belief.
It turns out that my father also made mistakes sometimes, and the mistakes he made would deeply hurt the people of the world.
Whether it is granting public land to subsidize official salaries or causing land annexation.
It still emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business, preventing economic and social development.
Or maybe the sea ban has made life difficult for coastal residents.
In Lin Che's explanation, these were out-and-out failed policies.
It brings far more disadvantages than benefits to the people and the court.
Zhu Ping was at a loss.
"Mr. Lin, since lifting the sea ban has so many benefits, father...why does the current emperor still implement the sea ban?"
Zhu Ming poured Lin Che a glass of wine and asked in a sullen voice.
Lin Che took a sip of wine, thought for a moment and said:
"The reason why the current emperor implements the sea ban is nothing more than considering two points."
“The first thing is to focus on agriculture.”
"You must know that the Ming Dynasty's tax revenue is basically maintained by farmers farming, and the agricultural economy determines the fate of the Ming Dynasty."
"The founding of the Ming Dynasty was not long ago, and the entire society has not fully recovered from the war and depression. The whole country is committed to restoring and developing the economy, especially the agricultural economy. Naturally, other aspects are secondary."
"There are still thousands of years of Central Plains dynasty, and the idea of farming is deeply rooted, which is also an important reason why the current emperor emphasizes agriculture and suppresses business."
When Lin Che said this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly.
This kid spoke to his heart again.
Now that the Great Tomorrow has been decided, Zhu Yuanzhang is implementing a policy of recuperation and recuperation across the country and is committed to the recovery of the agricultural economy.
As for commercial economy and overseas trade, they have not yet been put on the agenda in his mind.
Of course, as Lin Che said, the farming ideology passed down for thousands of years also caused his 'short-sightedness'.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded secretly, and he valued Lin Che a little more in his heart.
The lecture continues here:
"The second point is that the emperor considers the country of Ming Dynasty."
"Although the current emperor established the Ming Dynasty, he has not achieved true unification. There is still a situation of 'internal and external troubles'."
"Internal worries" means that there are still remnants of the former Yuan Dynasty in the Ming Dynasty that have not been wiped out."
"There are more 'foreign invasions'. The Naha troops in the northeast often harass the border; the Northern Yuan Dynasty in the northwest still exists, threatening the Ming Dynasty; and Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen's troops in the southeast are entrenched along the coast."
"The emperor is considering implementing a sea ban to prevent Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen from colluding with Japanese pirates and domestic resistance forces and endangering the Ming Dynasty."
"The above two points determine that the current emperor will implement a sea ban."
By the time Lin Che finished her analysis, Zhu Yuanzhang next door was almost there.
This kid is like a roundworm in his stomach, completely grasping his own psychological dynamics.
Lin Che not only expressed his thoughts on the maritime ban, but also analyzed the current situation he hadn't heard it with his own ears, Zhu Yuanzhang would have thought that these words came from a long-time official.
Without years of experience in officialdom, how could one analyze it so thoroughly.
But Lin Che was just a tribute student before and had no official experience at all.
How did he do it?Zhu Yuanzhang was very confused.
Inside the prison cell, After Lin Che finished her analysis, Zhu Ping responded quickly this time: "Sir, from what you say, the current emperor is right to do this!"
"These two points are indeed urgent issues facing Ming Dynasty."
"So it is necessary to implement a sea ban!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Xi looked at Lin Che eagerly, hoping that the other party would give a positive answer.
Unexpectedly, Lin Che still shook her head.
"You are wrong. The current emperor thought wrong and did wrong."
Seeing Zhu Xi looking at her like a fool, Lin Che poured a bowl of wine for the two of them and continued: "We will analyze it one by one from the two points he considered."
"Let's start with the first point. Today's emperor attaches great importance to agriculture and has indeed restored the agricultural economy to a certain extent."
"but!"
Lin Che emphasized the word, "Attachment to agriculture must also be based on local conditions."
"It was a big mistake for him to implement a sea ban and develop an agricultural economy in coastal areas."
"Climate conditions in the southeastern coastal areas are not suitable for farming."
"As the old saying goes, if you rely on the mountains, you can eat the mountains; if you rely on the sea, you can eat the sea."
"The local sea people have long been accustomed to living on the sea and relying on fishing to make a living."
"Once the maritime ban is implemented, those seafarers cannot make a living by fishing, and they do not have suitable land for farming. They can only take risks and make profits through smuggling or simply join pirates."
Speaking of this, Zhu Xi seemed to understand a little.
As Lin Che said, the original intention of the sea ban policy enacted by her father was good, but it failed to adapt measures to local conditions and analyze specific issues in detail.
This is a bad thing done with good intentions.
Zhu Yuanzhang next door looked at the wall silently as he realized something.
"Let's talk about the second point. The emperor's consideration of 'domestic and foreign troubles' is not wrong, but he has overlooked that opening up the maritime ban will not only enhance the Ming Dynasty's economy, but also improve the Ming Dynasty's military strength."
"Once the maritime ban is lifted, several major shipyards in Quanzhou, Minzhou and Panyu will start operations, and hundreds of ocean-going fleets will be formed."
"It can not only protect the smooth overseas trade, but also protect the coastal border defense of Ming Dynasty."
"Compared with the Ming Dynasty's Invincible Fleet, the small fishing boats of Zhang Shicheng and Fang Guozhen's old troops are simply not impressive enough."
"Let alone confrontation, even a collision can send these remnants into the sea to feed the fish."
"How can these small fish and shrimps pose a threat to Ming Dynasty?"
"When the time comes, the Ming Dynasty's invincible fleet will roam the oceans and be invincible. Even the Dayin Empire, which was later known as 'the sun never sets,' will tremble when it sees our Ming Dynasty's invincible fleet."
After Lin Che finished speaking, she took a swig of wine.
Proud and dry cloud.
High spirits.
It seems that he is the commander of that invincible fleet, looking down on the world.
Zhu Chong was also infected by Lin Che's bold words.
Bah! He picked up the wine jar on the table and smashed it to the ground. The ceramics mixed with the wine splashed everywhere.
"No reason!"
Zhu Ping was in a turbulent mood and had nowhere to vent his anger, so he yelled: "The emperor's head was caught in the door?!"
"Why are you so unconscious? No, we must talk to him when we go out?"
