Chapter 2037: Knocking on the Mountain to Shock the Tiger

"One tax system...Xing Hebo, do you think you can live to the day when the one tax system is implemented?"

Yang Ronglai found Fang Xing. He didn't give any examples. If needed, he could cite countless examples in history of people losing power and leading to the gradual weakening of the country.

He believed that Zhu Zhanji and Fang Xing must have seen it countless times, and there was no need for him to elaborate.

"So seize the day!"

Fang Xing raised a toast and perfectly refuted Yang Rong's worries in one sentence.

Yang Rong was silent for a moment and asked: "Your Majesty... what kind of Ming Dynasty do you want?"

He wanted to ask Zhu Zhanji, but in the end he asked Fang Xing.

Zhu Zhanji had been influenced by Fang Xing for many years when he was young, and their goals should be the same.

"The people live and work in peace and contentment...the army is so powerful that it is considered invincible..."

"You haven't finished talking about government affairs, culture..."

"You really want to know? Your Majesty didn't mention it?"

Fang Xing felt that Yang Rong was a little impatient, probably because he was too worried about being abandoned by the emperor.

"Yes, Your Majesty acts... He used to consult with us, but now it is almost Gan Gang's decision to make major decisions, and it is just a matter of words."

Yang Rong smiled bitterly.

"Public administration... strong supervision, and the one-tax system is to cut off the source of corruption for them. With supervision, it can try to ensure that corruption is within a small scope and will not be completely corrupted."

“As for culture…”

Fang Xing smiled and said: "Master Yang, you are not asking on behalf of those people, are you?"

Yang Rong shook his head, "No, I'm not that bad. If what I say today comes out of your mouth and into my ears, no third person will know."

Fang Xing glanced at him, nodded, and said: "Culture, Mr. Yang, I have said many times that Confucianism is our root. If we lose our root, it is not the Ming Dynasty!"

Yang Rong cupped his hands and said, "I understand."

What Fang Xing said basically represents Zhu Zhanji's attitude.

Yang Rong was very envious, envious that Fang Xing could take charge of everything at such a young age.

As an official, if you want to make a difference, don't you just have to do something?

As for being young, that's just comparing with them.

He touched his temples and said: "At this time of great turmoil, I refuse to stand still. Uncle Xinghe, no matter what innovation you want to do, if I feel it is wrong, then I will..."

Fang Xing cupped his hands and said, "Master Yang, just follow the path."

Yang Rong smiled and stood up to say goodbye. Fang Xing walked him out of the door, turned around and said, "Ask Yang Rong what happened in the past two days."

…

Nothing happened to Yang Rong.

As the minister closest to Zhu Zhanji, he has discovered some problems recently.

Zhu Zhanji was looking at the map, and Yang Rong came in and said frankly that he had just talked to Fang Xing.

Zhu Zhanji nodded, and then his fingers stayed on Hallie's position.

"Xing Hebo...well..."

Yang Rong looked at Zhu Zhanji's fingers and whispered: "Your Majesty, we can't do it in the near future!"

Zhu Zhanji pulled his finger back to Daming, stopped in the capital, and said, "What are you thinking about?"

Yang Rong said subconsciously: "He is thinking about integrating Harie, and then..."

"Then what?"

Zhu Zhanji turned around and asked, his eyes bright.

Yang Rong's heart trembled and he said: "Then...it depends on Rou Meichan's actions. If it's both..."

"Do the two merge?"

Yang Rong saw sweat on his forehead, lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty..."

Zhu Zhanji sneered: "Those people are planning to teach me a lesson!"

Yang Rong knelt down and said: "Your Majesty, after all..."

"Can't we do without them after all?"

Zhu Zhanji walked over with his hands behind his back and said, "Yes! All civil servants in the dynasty and all over the world are one. Even if I can kill them all, who will take their place?"

Yang Rong was sweating profusely and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, the matter in Jinan... will eventually..."

"Are you eager after all?"

Zhu Zhanji asked lightly. He lowered his head slightly and looked down at Yang Rong, with a dangerous light flashing in his eyes.

Yang Rong raised his head, avoided Zhu Zhanji's eyes, and plucked up the courage to say: "Your Majesty, there are many supporters in the DPRK..."

Zhu Zhanji raised his head and said, "Yes! If it weren't for this, I would have taken action long ago."

Yang Rong was shocked. This is the first time that the emperor has shown this kind of thoughts, and Emperor Wen has the same thoughts.

A considerable number of officials in the court supported the emperor, which was one of the emperor's confidence.

Although the military heroes were not able to get involved in political affairs, the emperor mobilized the army with ease. This was his greatest confidence.

What the emperor was most afraid of was the net, which was woven by the world's literati and civil servants.

Countless historical lessons tell emperors that the best way to face this web is to ignore it.

So they ignored it, and then they began to build the country, began to be aggressive, began to enter the prosperous age... and began to decline.

Unstoppable decline is like a chronic disease whose cause is known.

But these viruses have long been entangled with the entire country, and every move is heartbreaking.

So the sinking continued.

"Now... this is the foundation laid by Emperor Wen. At least the officials have not collectively sunk. If they miss it, they will never be able to regain it. Do you understand?"

"Get up."

Zhu Zhanji raised his hand, then pointed at the map and said: "Merqian is gathering Harie's power at the moment. He is looking down on the Ming Dynasty, thinking that the Ming Dynasty will not mobilize troops to go on expeditions. When Harie is unified again, those who have been forged in the expedition will The army... think of Emperor Taizu Gao."

The Ming army began to sharpen its edge after Zhu Yuanzhang conquered Nanjing. After defeating many domestic opponents, this Ming army was formidable, and then they turned their attention to the Mongols who had ruled for many years.

That was really an epic war!

The Mongols, who once dominated the world, were beaten back by this sharpened army and finally retreated from the interior of the country. Zhu Yuanzhang continued to send troops to suppress them.

"Your Majesty, this should be done later rather than earlier!"

Yang Rong felt that Zhu Zhanji was too eager. At this moment, the Ming Dynasty was carrying out reforms to clean up the surrenders. If they rashly went to war with foreign countries, internal dissatisfaction might take the opportunity to erupt.

Did he want to take advantage of the war to transfer the contradictions outward?

No!

Yang Rong knew that Zhu Zhanji would not do so, and Fang Xing would not!

Then...

"The Ming Dynasty will never wait for its opponents to attack, not before and not in the future."

This is a proud king. Yang Rong knew that the emperor in front of him wanted to continue the pride of Emperor Wen, which was also the pride of the Ming Dynasty.

We never give up, we never wait for the enemy to take the initiative to attack.

We will attack before the enemy!

"Pugu and Wuen are the kites in the hands of Meiergan..."

Yang Rong bowed and left.

When he returned to the duty room, Yang Shiqi asked him when he saw that he looked tired.

Yang Rong smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty wants to try and see what the wind direction is in the court?"

"What do you mean?"

The advantage of being the chief minister is that the emperor will discuss many things with me, but you are excluded.

This is a huge temptation.

Yang Rong felt that it was a headache temptation.

"Your Majesty wants to cut off the eye of Ha Lie spying on the Ming Dynasty."

"Yilibali?"

Jin Youzi found a map, crossed the capital, and looked up and said: "The army's expedition... that will take more than half a year to prepare."

Yang Shiqi looked at the map and said: "Your Majesty just wants to clean up Yilibali?"

"This is to disrupt the wishful thinking of Meiergan. Once Yilibali is cleared, Meiergan will be terrified, and those princes will also worry about the attitude of the Ming Dynasty. As for the meat fans, they will also speed up the pace of strength, which can be regarded as a deterrent!"

Yang Pu's understanding of military affairs is not as good as the three assistant ministers left by Zhu Di, but he looks at this matter from another angle.

"The incident in Jinan has made the world depressed and undercurrents surge, especially in the south. Your Majesty is now watching coldly. If you want to conquer Yilibali, it will naturally be a deterrent, but who is it to deter?"
