Wang Zhilong, who glanced at Zhu Cihuang, said a little coldly: "I dare not take it as a decent third prince, and I am just a commoner. How can I afford to be such a polite courtesy of His Highness the Third Prince?"

"Master!" Zhu Cixuan, whose face changed when he heard this, immediately knelt down on both legs: "I know it was wrong for me to leave the palace secretly, but Master, it was too boring to stay in the palace. I once asked my father to follow the army to deal with Li Chuang's rebels, but my father still regarded me as a child."

"You are a child, and you want to fly before you grow your hair. How capable do you think you are? Do you think you have good kung fu, right? But do you really understand where the battlefield is? Do you think you can control the victory or defeat of a war with your own strength? Do you think you are the God of War? You even ask for your order to deal with Li Chuang's rebels. It would be strange if your father could let you go," Wang Zhilong scolded him angrily without waiting for him to finish speaking.

Zhu Cixuan couldn't help but say, "But...But, Master, am I just watching the thieves attacking the city and siege all the way to the capital and destroying my Ming Dynasty?"

"Otherwise? Why do you think the official army has lost consecutive battles? How could Li Zicheng win?" Wang Zhilong asked back with a taste of teaching.

Zhu Cixuan, who thought about it carefully, said: "When I go back to Master, it is because the officers and soldiers are no longer useful, so they will be defeated repeatedly."

"Why is it unusable? You don't understand the root cause at all," Wang Zhilong shook his head and said, "I understand your intention to help your father, but if you want to save the Ming Dynasty, you must find the root cause of the chaos in the Ming Dynasty and now, and find a solution to the problem. Otherwise, even God will not be able to save the court where the burial is about to collapse."

"Master, you said that the current situation in the Ming Dynasty is caused by natural disasters and man-made disasters, internal and external troubles. The people have no food, so they can only rebel, but the money and food of the court are also very tight! His father has tried his best to provide disaster relief, but... but the disaster has been repeated for years, and his father has repeatedly reduced the expenses in the palace, but he is still a drop in the bucket. Is it really the heaven that will destroy the Ming Dynasty?" Zhu Cixuan said, but his eyes were red.

Wang Zhilong, who sighed lightly, got up and touched his head, reached out and helped him up, and then slowly spoke: "Master said that to solve problems, we must find the root cause, not solve problems from the root, just like treating diseases only treating the skin surface, sooner or later, if the disease is deep inside, and if it is seriously ill, there will be no rescue. Therefore, treating diseases is like treating the country. You cannot treat the head when you have the headache or treat the foot pain. If you have the courage to cut your flesh and scrape your bones, you can be reborn from the fire!"

"But you can't put this heavy medicine! Cut the flesh and scrape the bones. Even if you have the courage, you don't have the ability now," Wang Zhilong, who patted Zhu Cilang's shoulder, said solemnly: "What you have to do now is to make yourself grow and become stronger. At that time, even if the entire Ming Dynasty is ruined, as long as you have the ability and ability, you may not be able to rebuild it. If you want to take responsibility, your shoulders must first bear the load. At that time, your father will hand over the thousand-pound burden on your shoulders."

Zhu Cixuan, whose eyes flashed when he heard this, couldn't help but say, "Master, with the prince's brother here, even in the future... the father will not hand over the burden to me."

"If you study history, can you tell me that the last two emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, Huizong and Qinzong? Who did they ruin the Northern Song Dynasty and rebuild the Southern Song Dynasty? Is it Qinzong who was once the crown prince? To end this chaotic world and reshape the universe, what is needed is not a weak crown prince, but a wise lord," Wang Zhilong said.

Then Wang Zhilong said, "Song Gaozong may not be a very wise monarch. He continued the country's destiny and famous generals such as Yue Fei and Han Shizhong. Therefore, once the world changes, if you want to reorganize the mountains and rivers, you need the assistance of real wise ministers and warlike generals. Moreover, you must let the people have enough food, otherwise the world will still be in chaos. Without food and clothing, where can peace come from?"

"But...but Master, how can we make the people have enough food?" Zhu Cixuan, who was a little excited and blushed, couldn't help but ask quickly.

Wang Zhilong asked back: "Miss Sanzi, do you know how Li Zicheng can make the people who follow him have a meal?"

"They defeated the government army, got the food in the treasury, and robbed some wealthy families with the food in their families," Zhu Ciyang frowned thoughtfully, "But the court cannot do this too! Without the food in the treasury, what should the imperial army eat? What should we use to suppress the bandits and suppress the rebellion?"

"Of course, the court cannot be like Li Zicheng. It is like fishing in the waters," Wang Zhilong nodded and said, "Why many peasant uprisings in all dynasties have failed? It is because they only know how to destroy but not build. Like locusts passing through the border, everything is plundered and destroyed everywhere. Although they can get a temporary food and clothing, it is not a long-term solution."

Wang Zhilong then said: "Emperor Taizu won the world through peasant uprisings. Do you know why he was able to win the world?"

"This... I'll ask for advice from Master!" Zhu Cixuan said after hearing a little hesitant.

"There are two reasons. One is the tyranny of the Yuan Dynasty. The people suffered from the Yuan Dynasty for a long time. Overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty was a move that won the hearts of the people. Secondly, it was because of Emperor Taizu's strategy that he adopted the strategy of "storing grain, building high walls, and slowly becoming kings" proposed by his adviser Zhu Sheng. He accumulated enough foundation to accumulate strength and make great progress, sweep the world in one fell swoop, and establish the Ming Dynasty," said Wang Zhilong.

After saying that, Wang Zhilong paused, he said again: "Although Li Zicheng has a huge momentum, he lacks his background. He has been fighting with the official army over the years, neglecting the accumulation of his own foundation and just feeding the imperial army. The battle was smooth, but if it was not going well, it might be severely damaged or even defeated."

"Many people followed him to fight and ignored production. Even if they lucky enough to destroy the Ming Dynasty, the remaining mess was enough for them to have a headache and would even drag them down," Wang Zhilong continued: "They are too anxious. It is not that easy to conquer the world, and it is even more difficult to defend the world!"

Zhu Cixuan nodded repeatedly when he heard this, his eyes shining brightly and couldn't help asking: "Master, so, Li Chuang's disadvantage is very obvious! Although the official army is not useful now, it shouldn't be beaten to the capital by him so easily, right? There is still hope to defeat the rebel Li Chuang."

"No, remember, never underestimate your opponent, and don't look down on yourself," Wang Zhilong shook his head and said, "In fact, Li Chuang's existence is not all bad things for the Ming Dynasty. At least for the time being, we need him, and I even hope that he can fight well and play more powerfully."

Zhu Cixuan glared at the moment of hearing this, "Master, what did you say? Are you still looking forward to him calling the capital?"

"Miss third son, we have said before, how can we make the people full? There are three ways. In a short period of time, if you want them to eat full, just open the warehouse and release grain. This is to solve the urgent problem; more safely, let them plant their own land. Even if the harvest is not good, as long as they cannot starve to death, the people will not take the risk of rebelling. In fact, what they ask for is the simplest," said Wang Zhilong.

"Master, what about the third solution? Do you have a better solution to this problem?" Zhu Cixuan couldn't help but ask hurriedly when he saw Wang Zhilong stopping.

Wang Zhilong smiled slightly and continued, "The third method is to consider the long-term, increase grain production so that the people will not be hungry anymore. If the people eat a full meal, the world will be peaceful. If they want to increase grain production, the traditional method is to improve farming technology. All dynasties have spent money on grain to develop water conservancy, which is for this. In fact, there is another method, which is to introduce high-yield grain and promote planting."

"Master, you are really a living Zhuge! I'm afraid Zhuge Liang has no way to do it!" Zhu Cixuan was excited and surprised and said: "I will tell my father these methods and let him follow his master's plan, and then the Ming Dynasty will have hope of revival."
