"Yes, the prince. Looking at Zhu Youlang's governance, he was quite eager to innovate. At first, the new land policy he implemented was thought that he was because the treasury was empty and extended his hands to the gentry's large households. But later, it seemed that it was not the case. Because if it was just to fill the treasury, he could raise taxes and pay, or persuade the big households to give money. But he did not do this. Not only did he not raise taxes and pay, he also implemented a tax reduction policy. The only difference was to encourage business and impose commercial taxes. Therefore, his purpose of implementing the new land policy was not to fill the treasury, or to fill the treasury was not his short-term goal, but his long-term goal." Fan Wencheng said with a frown.

"Xian Dou, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, have you been advocating the implementation of Confucian governance? I heard Zhu Youlang's new land policy, how did I mean to steal food from the mouths of the rich and then distribute it to the poor people? This is very different from the herdsmen's way advocated by Confucianism." Haoge asked in confusion.

"The prince, the slave thinks that it is hard to say whether Zhu Youlang's philosophy of governing the country is Confucianism. Confucianism emphasizes benevolence and loving things, and his political thinking is "people-oriented", which is not in conflict with Confucianism. It can only be said that he is different from the practices of emperors in the past, or that he values ​​the interests of the people more. Also, in the eyes of scholars and officials, farming and reading are the principles of saints. The principles of saints are the great way to govern the country and be a human being. Things like the craftsmen are all classified as strange skills and tricks, but Zhu Youlang is not, but he is keen on these things.

The side-door not only recruited a large number of craftsmen from the people, but also made some Thais regarded them as guests of honor. You said that his governance was wrong, but judging from the reactions of Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian, the people were very welcome. The interests of the gentry and doctors were damaged, and some caused trouble, but they did not pose a major threat. Moreover, the grenades and mines that the Ming army relied on to win battles were created by craftsmen. In short, Zhu Youlang is trying to reform bad policies, and value the people and neglect the gentry is the core of his governance." Fan Wencheng Dao.

"The two princes, 'If it benefits the people, there is no need to follow the ancients; if it does not involve things in the past, there is no need to follow the customs', Zhu Youlang probably took this path. Innovation can be done, but at the same time, this innovation is a double-edged sword. If it is done well, the administration will be clear and the people will be happy, and the national strength will rise; if it is not done well, it will hurt himself and even cause disasters to arise. Because innovation will always hurt some people.

At present, the Yongli Dynasty is not without hidden dangers, but this hidden danger has not been discovered. For example, Zhu Youlang's innovation in the army has hurt the interests of some officials, and they can no longer drink military blood or make money; the new land policy has hurt the interests of scholars, and without scholars help, who do Zhu Youlang use to govern the world? Nowadays, except for scholars in Guangdong and Guangxi, few people in other provinces go to Zhu Youlang. In theory, Zhu Youlang is the only remaining emperor in the Ming Dynasty. Scholars among the Han people should try every means to secretly go to Guangzhou. Why are few people going? It is because Zhu Youlang's reform touched their interests.

At the same time, it should also be seen that Zhu Youlang does not want scholars, but old scholars. He wants to cultivate a group of scholars who recognize and support himself. Wherever he is, he began to build a large number of official schools to exempt him from training, and this is the purpose of this." Hong Chengchou continued Fan Wencheng's words.

"So, Zhu Youlang needs time now. He wants to cultivate talents. He wants to push the new policy smoothly..." Fan Wencheng said.

"Master Fan, I have a question that I have always been lingering in my mind. Why didn't Zhu Youlang spend all his energy on fighting? Is the so-called new policy so anxious to implement?" At this time, Fulin, who had been listening to politics, suddenly asked.

"Your Majesty, hasteness will not be achieved. Zhu Youlang has a very small ambition. His purpose is to restore the Ming Dynasty, but at the same time he also clearly saw the shortcomings of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, from now on, he must lay a solid foundation. If he waits for success and reform, it will be even more difficult and will definitely be half the result with twice the result. Of course, my Qing Dynasty's wise ruler and ministers are loyal and brave soldiers, how can he succeed? Therefore, his idea is just a moon in the water and a flower in the mirror." Fan Wencheng quickly bowed and replied.

"Oh, the world of Ming Dynasty is like a house. We pushed it down and he wants to rebuild it. He is worried that it will be unstable to rebuild the house on the old foundation, so he wants to rebuild a new foundation. Is that true?" Fulin asked.

"It's really my blessing for the Qing Dynasty, not waiting for Fan Wencheng to answer, Haoge answered first without waiting for Fan Wencheng to answer.

He was very pleased that his brother was only eleven years old and had such a smart mind. He could draw inferences from one example. At the same time, he was able to follow the politics and his goal was achieved.

"Thank you brother for your praise. You continue to discuss it, don't worry about me." Fulin smiled at Haoge and said.

"Heng Jiu, since you have thoroughly analyzed Yongli, then you can see how we should deal with it next?" Haoge turned around and asked Hong Chengchou.

Hong Chengchou glanced at Sony, saw Sony smile and nodding at him, then bowed and replied: "Best, I think that dealing with Zhu Youlang must start from two aspects at the same time."

"Tell me." Haoge said.

"Yes. This is of course military. Zhu Youlang divided his army into three major parts, one was Li Dingguo in the west, one was Zhang Jiayu in the middle, and the other was Li Chengdong in the east. In the east, our army in the west is relatively weak and we are taking a defensive position. According to the Prince Zheng, with the defense of the city, he would never give him the opportunity to fight in the field; the central part took offensives and gathered the army to focus on attacking Jiangxi. Why should we break through in the middle? Because Zhang Jiayu was a literati and had never led troops before serving as the commander of the Central Army of the Ming army. At the same time, the Ming army in Jiangxi was complex, including Jin Shenghuan, Wang Deren's former Li Zicheng's former subordinate, and the former Shaowu team who surrendered from Chen Jitai. Zhang Jiayu's direct line has only a few thousand soldiers, which is easy for me to take advantage of."

"Secondly, make full use of internal conflicts in the Yongli Dynasty, you can use the Internet to infiltrate its troops and court officials, waiting for an opportunity to provoke trouble, and not allow him to rest and recuperate safely. If he can make his internal chaos and collapse, it will be not far away."

"Heng Jiu, I'm doing this in the past, but it has not achieved any results. It only makes the Ming Dynasty's monarchs and ministers laugh at him." Haoge frowned and said.
