Apart from reporting on his own mission, Li Yongmao did not express any opinions from beginning to end.

Everyone talked about their own missions until the end of the Chen Dynasty. Zhu Youlang left Qu Shili and let the others disperse themselves.

Zhu Youlang wanted to let Qu Shixi be the first chief assistant.

Qu Shishi is both good and has a superb gaze. He is the best candidate for the prime minister. However, the major policies he will adopt, such as land issues, and the abolishment of the privileges of the literati class, must be tested. If he cannot be in the same mind as himself, he cannot choose him as the prime minister.

Taking a team is very important.

Those who don’t stand in their own team cannot use their talents no matter how high their talents are.

"Qi Tian, ​​the four words you just said about people-oriented are deeply in line with my heart. I want to use these four words as the key to governing, what do you think?" Zhu Youlang asked.

"The emperor, forgive me for being frank, that I am a disciple of a saint, and I have always adhered to the creed of "the people are the most important, the country is the next, and the king is the least important, and the people are the most important, and the people are the most important. This is what I have always dreamed of."

"It is also my dream to benefit the people and build a foundation for all generations. If you read history books well, in your opinion, what is the fundamental reason for the change of dynasties? Or, where is the source of chaos?"

"This, the emperor suddenly asked, but I couldn't answer immediately. I would like to think about it."

"good."

Qu Shixi really didn't think about this issue in depth.

If we look at the appearance of the decline of the Ming Dynasty, the fierce party struggles, the lack of government, the lack of finance, the lack of military preparation, and even the constant natural disasters can be said to be the reason. However, he always feels that these things seem to be on the surface, and the deeper things are not grasped.

As for the rise of the Jurchens, the Jurchens had strong combat power and the Ming army was ineffective, he didn't even have to think about these things.

How many people did the Jurchens raise their troops? The full count is that the Dingkou is only 40,000, and the elderly, young, women and children are 400,000. At that time, the Han people reached 20,000, which is 500 times that of the Jurchens. Whether in terms of population or territory, the Ming Dynasty should not be shaken by the small Jurchens. The reason why the Jurchens occupied most of the territory must be a problem within the Ming Dynasty.

So what is this question? Qu Shixi really couldn't answer it for a while.

"I am ignorant, please help the emperor solve his doubts." Qu Shixi thought for a while and said embarrassedly.

Zhu Youlang was not surprised by this. He did not think that Qu Shisi was ignorant, but as a person of this era, Qu Shisi, like most people, had certain historical limitations.

In his previous life, Zhu Youlang read a book called "The Wars in Northern China". This book systematically analyzes the root causes of the wars that took place in the north in history. After analyzing them, they all have a common feature, both for the purpose of fighting for land.

This view made Zhu Youlang feel suddenly enlightened. Before this, he always believed that the root of the change of feudal society lies in the administration of officials.

Governing the country means governing officials.

The administration of officials leads to the people’s misfortune, and the people’s misfortune will rebel. Once the rebellion is, it will lead to a change of dynasty.

In fact, the root is not here, the root is really lies in the land, especially the feudal history of China, which is a farming society history. Food is the most important thing for people. In the farming society, farmers lose their land, isn’t it like losing their heaven?

The land reform policy implemented by Taizu, the founding country of China in the past life, has seen through this essential problem, right?

Therefore, it is not strange if Qu Shixi can't see through it, but it is strange if he sees through it.

"Flag Tian, ​​in my opinion, the fundamental reason for you to finish your debut in all dynasties is two words."

"Two words?"

“Yes, land.”

"land?"

"Yes, it's the land. If you think about it from the five words "food is the most important thing for people", then look at the history of each dynasty and generation, you will get this answer. Think about it."

After Zhu Youlang finished speaking, he ignored him and stood up and went back to the palace. He had to treat the Queen Mother to the good morning.

...

Zhu Youlang's words were like a thunderbolt, which exploded in Qu Shili's mind. From reading different sentences about "The people can be used to do not know" to a profound analysis of the change of dynasties, Qu Shili was first impressed by his admiration, his sages were far-reaching and beyond the reach of people.

Then he had a foreshadowing that the emperor's governance philosophy and political ideas would have a huge change, and a dynasty different from any previous dynasty would be established. If he sticks to the incomplete and concise rules and regulations, he would inevitably not keep up with the emperor's footsteps.

Why did the emperor leave himself alone? Why did he say these words to himself?

You must think carefully, you must think through it, and only then can you decide whether to follow closely or part ways.

Qu Shixi was stunned for a moment and left the Qinzheng Hall like a soul-destroying soul. Instead of going to the duty room, he returned to the mansion and came to the study - this private place that truly belonged to him. He had to think about it carefully.

As long as he entered the study, no one dared to disturb him rashly from the Xu family. This is his rule.

"Mom, what's wrong with my dad? Why are you going to the house if you don't go to the house? "Qu Ying was talking to her mother while going back to the house. When she saw her father going back to the house and went straight into the study, she asked in confusion.

"Who knows? Seeing him waving his face, as if he owes him eight hundred dollars, he must have been scolded by the emperor. Be careful and ignore him so as not to let him get angry." Xu said.

"All right, I'll go back to the room." Qu Ying whispered.

Xu nodded, and Qu Ying tiptoed back to her room.

"My grandma, go and look at Bo'er, don't let him run and scream." Xu told Mei grandma again.

"Yes, madam." Mei Niang had long wanted to tell her son, but after receiving the wife's instructions, she left in a hurry.

Xu made needlework in the room for a while, and when it was almost noon, he ordered people to buy a bass on the street, ordered the kitchen to steam it, and ordered the mandarin fish given by the emperor to be cooked on it.

After noon, the fish should be steamed and the fish should be cooked. The whole family gathered around the dining table with big eyes, and no one dared to speak loudly or touch their chopsticks.

...

"Yo, did you burn two fish today?"

Just as the family was worried, the door of the study opened. Qu Shisi walked in with an excited look on his face. Seeing the dishes on the table, his eyes lit up and he asked Xu.

Mei Niang hurried forward and served him with loose clothes and cleans his hands.

Xu ignored him, but looked at Qu Ying and whispered: "It's clear."

"What are you saying?"

"It's clear. As soon as you get home, you'll be swaying. It's like a cloudy day. The whole family dares to speak loudly, for fear of touching your bad temper." Xu said.

"I was in a bit heavy just now, but now it's okay. Let's have a meal." Qu Shixi said while sitting down.

As soon as he spoke, everyone started eating.

Qu Ying and Qu Zhengbo only tried their best to hit the bass with chopsticks, and the mandarin fish didn't dare to move.

"Eat it, eat it, everyone tastes the mandarin fish."

"What's wrong? Is the sun coming out from the west?"

"It was a bit too rigid before. If you eat some fish given to me by the emperor, it would not be disrespectful to the emperor." Qu Shishi said.

Finally, he added: "The emperor is right, you can't stick to the rules."
