"Your Majesty, in my opinion, there are still many problems within the dynasty. Although they have not fully shown, they have not yet reached the point of affecting the long-term stability of the empire, but we must prevent problems before they happen!

For example, the phenomenon of chaebols becoming bigger is something that must be paid attention to. Although they have not owned a large amount of land like the previous vassals, nobles and gentry, they have a large amount of wealth, and then control the world. If they continue for a long time, they may affect the national affairs!

Therefore, the court should focus on internal reform and eliminating ills, and do less work to rush into military affairs, and use other countries to make up for the ills of the state. This will not eliminate the internal ills."

Liu Hongxun put forward his own views at this time.

He prefers His Majesty the Emperor to continue to focus on internal reforms, just like in the past, the interests of the gentry, nobles and vassals in Jiangnan, and to suppress the large capitalists who have risen by participating in the investment and operation of official industries. These have changed from occupying a large amount of land to occupying a large amount of wealth in the court, so as to avoid these chaebols becoming the real masters of the empire in the future.

Zhu Youxiao was not angry about this. He knew that what Liu Hongxun said was right and admitted that Liu Hongxun said this at this time was also a public opinion.

After all, before becoming the Minister of Responsible, Liu Hongxun did not look like Bi Ziyan. Zhu Xieyuan and others began to emerge as the official industry when Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne and started to open the official business. Therefore, Liu Hongxun was more willing to continue to reform internally.

Zhu Youxiao just glanced at Bi Ziyan and Zhu Xieyuan.

Zhu Xieyuan didn't say anything. He was a representative of the military and could not express his opinions at will. He could only follow the emperor's baton. He had to be enlightened that the emperor would have to ask for his life, otherwise he would be transferred from the Privy Council by the emperor, and even ended up killing a cunning rabbit and being cooked by the lackeys.

Bi Ziyan didn't have these concerns. He was the leader of all officials. The current operation of the Ming Dynasty was entirely up to him, and the emperor would not replace him easily.

For example, when Zhu Youxiao ascended the throne, he did not obey the Donglin Party's intentions and easily replaced the cabinet chief Fang Congzhe.

Therefore, Bi Ziyan stood up and refuted Liu Hongxun's suggestions, saying: "I believe that laying out the world and establishing the regulations on safeguarding the basic order of the world is not only the responsibility of the Celestial Empire, but also something that must be done for the benefit of the empire. In his position, the Ming Dynasty is now the largest and strongest country in the world. If we do not prevent problems and establish a basic global order, we will inevitably avoid other countries taking the opportunity to rise in the future and then swallowing up our ambitions of Ming Dynasty!"

"In addition, in the opinion of the minister, if we want to continue to carry out internal reforms, suppress the chaebols, or even directly deprive the chaebols of their benefits as before, it is not consistent with the law. The Han people are not allowed to be slaves, and their private property should not be deprived of at will, regardless of the high or low level. Otherwise, where is the dignity of our Han people?

In addition, whether it is to increase taxes on chaebols or to search for houses of individual chaebols, there is no law that wealth is concentrated in a few!"

"Instead of concentrating the benefits of powerful and noble gentry on the court and then divide them with the common people, which leads to conflicts and intensifying countless changes, it is better to expand the benefits of the empire around the world and then divide the benefits seized from the world into officials and the people. This is a silent strategy to moisten things, and the country will be stable and your Majesty will be less dedicated."

Bi Ziyan said.

"But what if the global profits are over?"

Liu Hongxun asked Bi Ziyan back and said, "It will cause complaints from the surrounding areas. In the future, if the Ming Dynasty weakens, it will be backfired! In short, transferring domestic conflicts to foreign countries is a matter of treating the symptoms but not the root cause."

"By then, the imperial industry had already developed new developments, enough to continue to alleviate the contradictions. Twenty years ago, can we know the steam engine? Now the masters of the Academy of Sciences have begun to design generators, turn the magnet-with water flow, cut the magnetic wires, and then generate electricity through the copper coil. They are also developing electric motors. Once they are really successful in the future, they can use natural forces such as rivers, lakes and seas to produce endless wealth. At that time, any disadvantages can still be solved by this."

Bi Ziyan said.

Liu Hongxun replied: "No matter how fast the machine is improved, it cannot keep up with the greed speed of people's hearts! We cannot just rely on the masters to avoid being weak and uneven. Yuan Fu really believes that the uneasiness of society and the dissatisfaction of people's hearts are just because they don't eat enough, and they don't eat enough? Instead, although the poor family has smelled of wine and meat, the rich people have already smelled of delicacies!"

"It's not that I don't support internal reforms, but I have to take multiple measures to govern the country, and the main and vice-private are in line with each other. The gap between the rich and the poor is suppressed internally, but it mainly depends on external profits and technological improvements. Otherwise, there will be frequent major reforms and internal struggles, and people will be uneasy!

Now, after Your Majesty worked hard to govern, the world is prosperous, the country is prosperous, the people are safe, and the country is prosperous, not like the beginning of the country, where crises are everywhere and people's livelihood is withered. Therefore, there is no need to make drastic moves and use extraordinary methods, which will lead to chaos. Wang Mang, the lesson of Jingnan is not far away!”

"Now the Ming Dynasty is suitable for gentle techniques to regulate, but not as big as before. After all, if you don't do good today, especially since the eighth year of the Apocalypse, disasters have become more frequent, five years of drought and three years of locust plagues, which are rare and unheard and unseen. If you make a big move, it may backfire. Transferring unfavorable things to foreigners to bear is the best way at present."

Bi Ziyan said.

Liu Hongxun said: "But this is ultimately because it is impossible to deal with the root cause, which prevents the Ming Dynasty from being able to maintain long-term stability!"

Seeing that neither of these two people could convince each other, Zhu Youxiao said, "Okay! According to my intention, this generation can only do the things of one generation, not the situation of being absolutely necessary at the beginning of the throne. I can't bear to be too harsh on the officials and people of our country. Bi Aiqing was right. Now it is not the beginning of the throne. Even if you want to do mean things, you have to transfer to the external ruling, otherwise how can you talk about the Han people supremacy! But the Han people in our country should not be too arrogant and disobey the imperial rules and laws, otherwise I will not spare it easily."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao said: "Print the order, the regulations on basic global order, you can discuss what regulations should be written in accordance with the morality of Confucian human ethics, but it must also have the essence of expanding interests for the empire! Otherwise, what is the meaning of governing the world?"

"yes!"

Bi Ziyan replied.

Liu Hongxun felt a little disappointed. He could see that as His Majesty the Emperor began to reduce his former vitality as he grew older and the situation changed, he also began to seek stability, and began to have greater ambitions. Domestic reforms could no longer satisfy him.

Bi Ziyan knew his emperor better than Liu Hongxun. He knew that his emperor had always focused on the world pattern and the expansion of civilization. The emperor's power in a country was not the end of his emperor. He also knew that His Majesty did this to benefit his powerful people who mainly controlled wealth rather than land. Therefore, he proposed the concept of "Han people supremacy" in order to serve His Majesty's ambitions today.

Bi Ziyan is now interested in the recent popular idea of ​​"the private property of Han people is inviolable" and "Han women should also have greater freedom."

Because the former can make the emperor admit that his wealth cannot be deprived of at will, and the latter can stimulate consumption.
