Chapter 943: Shengming
What Ye Chunqiu revealed is actually a very simple truth, it is nothing more than profit.
Because of the interests, everyone will flock to it. Because of the interests, those who are eager for fur and cattle and horses hope to influence the court to use troops against the Tatars. Once the troops are used, if the Ming Dynasty wins, it will temporarily control the desert. This temporary means that countless down-and-out Han people are rushing out of the pass under the influence of interests. When they create wealth, they will attract more people to come out of the pass, and they are more eager for the court to expand the territory of the desert and attack foreign races.
As a Hanlin, Ye Chunqiu, he doesn't believe that his ancestors were compassionate with the foreign races in the desert because of their benevolence, righteousness and morality. The essential reason is that these damn poor people are very annoying and often draw their swords from you. People draw their swords from you because you are rich. No matter how many people die, if they can do one vote, it will be enough for them to have a good time. But should the ancestors be full and be full and go get their own.
I am a joke to steal these poor people? What do they have? Apart from animals, they are animals, but animals need to eat grass when introduced into the pass. To put it bluntly, I just keep these animals and have to slaughter their own food. You said you brought them back and slaughtered them and ate meat. I'm sorry, the transportation conditions are limited. For these hundreds or even thousands of miles, a group of people want to bring cattle and horses back, and you just eat them. This is definitely a loss of money.
No benefits are the key to the problem.
Once there is a benefit, then think about the territory of the Han Dynasty and compare the current sphere of influence of the Han people in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, there were hundreds of tribes in the south and southwest, and even the Hexi Corridor. From Henan, the source, where the so-called Dongyi, Baiyue and even Sanmiao went.
In essence, the Han people are agricultural cultural people. The essence of agricultural cultural people is that they need to plunder arable land frantically. Therefore, the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty almost included all fertile land. As for the other Dushi, they were just border defense areas of the Ming Dynasty. Dushi was an existence that protected the two capitals and thirteen provinces. The two capitals and thirteen provinces were responsible for production, and the desert... I'm sorry, it cannot farm and cannot grow grain, so naturally no one has tried his best to make a decision.
Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but sigh: "If you stick to the present, the desert will always be a stubborn disease of the Ming Dynasty. If you want to solve the desert or even solve all the current problems, what needs to be changed is the entire Ming Dynasty, whether it is the economic foundation or the way of life. Uh... Can Your Majesty understand?"
Zhu Houzhao touched her forehead and said with a depressed look on her face: "I really want to say that I understand, but I really have no idea. Can you explain it a little more clearly?"
Ye Chunqiu smiled and said, "Well, the easiest way... is to build cars, sell more cars, make the Ming Dynasty need more horses, and then hire more craftsmen to make a living. If so, the countryside will be inadequate. They can only choose to replace it with more animal power. The car needs leather and a lot of steel. Well... it is roughly that."
Zhu Houzhao's eyes finally lit up, and she suddenly realized her mind and said, "I understand. Why didn't you say it earlier? You have to go around the corner... But... it's so simple to eliminate hidden dangers in the desert? Well, I don't mean to doubt you, I just feel it's a bit incredible."
Ye Chunqiu sighed and said, "The reason is not complicated. The solution is also easy, but it is even more difficult to do it and do it well. My brother has been an official over the years. The more he has been an official, the more he knows the difficulty. Many times, even if it is just a small matter of disaster relief, it seems very simple, it is nothing more than disaster relief. It is just to urge officials to provide relief. But is it really so easy? How to transfer money and grain, how to identify disaster victims, and how to prevent the servants from working together. Well, let's take the supervision of officials as an example. There are many redundant officials in the court, right? So what is the solution? Eunuch Liu once suggested implementing a new policy, which is indeed very good, and also proposed a way to resolve redundant officials. You see, even Eunuch Liu knows how to solve the problem of administration."
Ye Chunqiu said it beautifully, using Liu Jin's new policy as an example, it is obviously meaningful.
He continued: "Look, how easy it is to lay off, but the question is, who are the redundant employees and who are the redundant officials? After all, to lay off, you have to find out the redundant officials and redundant employees. So, in order to lay off these redundant officials and redundant employees, Eunuch Liu thought of a solution and sent the middle-level officials to supervise the local area. Your Majesty, do you think this is a good way?"
Zhu Houzhao said, "Yes, willn't this solve the problem of redundant employees and redundant officials?"
Ye Chunqiu smiled and shook his head and said, "This is not true. How can a person supervise so many officials when he arrives at a local level? So if he wants to do his job well, he must recruit people to serve him. Should he let the official supervise? You see, there are many friends and civil servants in this way. But the question is, who can ensure that these friends and civil servants are reliable and will not collude with local officials? So will Master Zhongguan still ask a few respected people to supervise them?
Well, all this is based on the integrity and self-discipline of this Zhongguan. Who can guarantee that the Zhongguan is honest? Does the court need more censors to inspect everywhere, openly and secretly, and monitor the ethics of Zhongguan? With more censors, one must set up a more Duty Censor on this. On this basis, the Censor of the Yuanguan is specially designed to supervise the inspection of Zhongguan. However, your Majesty, these redundant officials and redundant officials have not been laid off yet, but because of the new policy, countless officials have appeared. How dare you ask Your Majesty, are these people considered redundant officials?"
Zhu Houzhao's brows frowned, gradually becoming deeper, and obviously she also had a new understanding of this issue.
Ye Chunqiu took the opportunity to continue, "In fact, under a relatively ideal state, it is even more complicated to really get to the local area. It is precisely because of this that Your Majesty looked lukewarm in the cabinet, and his people, and they were so tepid. He handled government affairs slowly. This is actually the principle of governing a big country like cooking a small freshman. My brother is not discussing the new policy in a rash way, but just want to tell Your Majesty that it is difficult to do things as difficult as the sky. This deal with the affairs of the world is not just a few simple clear streams. How can you change it? It is as simple as shouting a few words. Everything should not be too much. You can only take it slowly. Otherwise, a great disaster will come and you will regret it. Just like the Ningxia Rebellion, wasn't it caused by the court's kindness at the beginning, and I wanted to abolish redundant officials?"
