Mei Yin looked at Prince Zhu Biao's reaction and felt happy.
Because he knows that this is the time he wants!
At this time, Zhu Biao was deeply shaken in his heart.
It's just that he has been exposed to too many Confucian practices.
These are highly resilient.
It was somewhat difficult for him to accept the new theory.
At this time, Mei Yin needs to say something more decisive to make the final decision.
In this case, we can achieve final victory in this matter.
If there are no more weighty words to say, the balance will be completely tilted towards opening up the sea for business.
The Confucian and deeply-rooted Confucianism that Zhu Biao has accepted for a long time will continue to rebound and gain weight.
In the end, Prince Zhu Biao's thoughts will return to the past.
Mei Yin's efforts will fall short.
But since Mei Yin chose this time to tell Zhu Biao this.
And before that, after thinking for a long time, I was naturally prepared.
If there is something more powerful, wait here.
It’s impossible to give up all your efforts!
At that moment, he looked at Zhu Biao and said again: "Brother, I can understand your mood.
After all, what you heard today is very different from what you usually come into contact with and learn.
The emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce seems to be eternal.
This has been done since the Qin Dynasty was not established.
But brother, what I want to tell you today is that focusing on agriculture and suppressing business can indeed play a positive role to a large extent.
Maintain the stability of the country.
However, there are also many dangers.
It will limit the development of a country to a certain extent.
I know that my brother is very confused about this, but there is something that he might as well listen to.
This Confucian approach of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce has been practiced for nearly two thousand years.
It has been mentioned since the pre-Qin period.
The kingdoms established later have always followed this pattern.
However, it has experienced so many dynasties over the years.
But which dynasty has escaped the three-hundred-year cycle of dynasty reincarnation?
If I want to break out of this circle, I must create something new.
Only then will it be possible to break through the original vicious circle and break this rule.
If you still stick to that way, the best you can do is only the national destiny for about three hundred years.
Since such a long history has proved that this set of rules cannot break the vicious cycle.
Why doesn't Big Brother think about it, make some changes, and still want to use that method? ”
"Boom!!"
The words Mei Yin said were like a thunder, suddenly exploding in the mind of Prince Zhu Biao!
It gave him the ultimate shock and shattered all the entanglements in Zhu Biao's heart.
It gave him a feeling of sudden surprise and enlightenment.
It was as if the fog in my heart was suddenly broken through at this moment.
I couldn't help but shudder.
All the tangles in my heart are gone.
All that is left is the enlightenment emanating from deep within.
The second brother-in-law is right!
The emphasis on agriculture and suppression of business has been practiced for many years.
Although the ruling methods, political structures and many other things of each dynasty.
There are such differences.
But some things are the same.
So many years, so many dynasties have gone through, some only lasted for a dozen or so years, and they disappeared in twenty years
If it takes a long time, it will be as strong as the Han and Tang Dynasties, but it will only be more than two hundred years and not three hundred years.
What I am seeking at this time is to get out of this vicious circle and make Ming Dynasty as long as possible.
Under this situation, if you don't want to change and still think of using the same thing as before, it will definitely not work.
The final result, no matter how good it is, is just the same as that of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
There is a period of nearly three hundred years, which is the end, and there is no essential difference.
Why had I fallen into such confusion before?
"Yes, second brother-in-law, you are right.
In this matter, I thought a little bit wrong.
Didn't understand.
Fortunately, my second brother-in-law woke me up.
Otherwise, I will make a huge mistake! ”
Prince Zhu Biao looked at Mei Yin and said excitedly.
The words Mei Yin just said to him really woke up the dreamer.
A lot of doubts in his heart were eliminated at once.
Seeing her uncle's reaction, Mei Yin felt very good in her heart.
Done!
Is it done this time?
It's true that I have said so many things to my uncle.
Now, we finally have to get this thing done!
As long as you convince your uncle, many things will be easier to handle in the future.
Mei Yin knew very well how much weight this uncle-in-law had in the heart of her father-in-law.
There are many things that if my uncle agrees to, it actually means that the emperor agrees.
Of course, for such a big matter, my uncle must still discuss it with his father-in-law.
But no matter what you say, after convincing your uncle, this matter is more than half done.
If even my uncle is not convinced, then this matter will be even more difficult to handle.
"Brother, these... are actually not what I said.
Mr. Qingtian came here before and chatted with me about some things.
I got a lot of inspiration from it.
I was able to think of these just now.
Otherwise, I would not be able to think of these things even if I thought about them for ten or eight years, or even for a lifetime. ”
Mei Yin once again pulled Liu Bowen out to top the cylinder very neatly.
By now, Liu Bowen has become Mei Yin's exclusive person to top the cylinder.
Upon hearing Mei Yin's words, Zhu Biao suddenly became even more different.
No wonder!
No wonder what the second brother-in-law said to him sounded so straightforward and simple.
But it happens to contain a particularly great truth, which goes straight to the core of the problem.
It's not like many people who talk in a cloudy manner.
After listening for a long time, I still couldn't let anyone know what he was talking about.
Specializes in complicating simple problems and pretending to be profound.
Those people are truly hateful!
There is a huge difference between what the second brother-in-law said to himself now.
This is how things should be said!
"It turns out to be Mr. Qingtian!
This Mr. Qingtian is truly a great talent! ”
After hearing Mei Yin's words, Zhu Biao couldn't help but praise him.
"But second brother-in-law, you are also a real talent.
Talking to Mr. Qingtian can inspire you and come up with so many things.
This is really not something ordinary people can do.
The second brother-in-law is really a god! ”
Zhu Biao held Mei Yin's hands enthusiastically, feeling happy in his heart.
I just feel that if my family really finds a treasure this time.
This second brother-in-law is really good!
Fortunately, her mother took advantage of her father's absence to make the decision herself, and told her second sister to her second brother-in-law so that they could get married.
If you don't take such a step, you will follow your father's temper.
I'm just afraid that my second brother-in-law and my second sister want to get married.
I don’t know how many more twists and turns it will take.
It is really difficult to find someone like the second brother-in-law.
Mei Yin Mei Yin smiled and said: "Brother, it's nothing, I'm just talking.
If you really want to implement it, there are still many obstacles, which is very difficult.
In terms of specific operations, there are still many steps that need to be perfected. ”
When Zhu Biao heard this, he shook his head seriously and said: "It's easy to say that, but in fact, action is not the most difficult thing.
The hardest thing is whether you can figure it out.
This is the most critical and hardest thing to do.
As long as you can think of many things, it will be much easier to do it next time. ”
After saying this, Zhu Biao suddenly remembered something again, looked at Mei Yin and said: "Second brother-in-law, this... During the Song Dynasty, business was still very powerful.
No...haven't you jumped out of this circle? ”
Hearing his uncle ask such questions, Mei Yin said: "Brother, the Song Dynasty itself has too many problems.
Land annexation has simply developed to an abnormal level.
Moreover, the Song Dynasty was congenitally deformed and did not obtain a complete territory when it was founded.
By the end of the Song Dynasty, they had not even touched the edge of the Great Wall.
Redundant soldiers, redundant officials, redundant taxes... all kinds of things are added together.
It's like a person who is already deformed and needs to carry all kinds of heavy baggage to move forward.
But under such circumstances, the Northern Song Dynasty lasted for more than a hundred years, and the Southern Song Dynasty also persisted for more than a hundred years.
This is simply a miracle!
The Song Dynasty could exist for so many years, and I don’t know how big a role commerce played.
If there is no such prosperous business to support it.
The Song Dynasty was probably over long ago.
Not to mention anything else, the income of the Shipping Department alone reached 20% of the national treasury income in the Southern Song Dynasty, or even a little more..."
After hearing what Mei Yin said, Zhu Biao thought about it carefully and felt that what his second brother-in-law said did make sense.
That's what happened.
Regarding the things that happened in the Song Dynasty, it is difficult to say whether the two Song Dynasties combined would have survived more than three hundred years without prosperous commerce.
I'm afraid it's very difficult.
Before having too many contacts, Zhu Biao was actually not very sensitive to money.
Especially influenced by many things in Confucianism, I even feel that it is not good to talk too much about money.
vulgar.
But as he came into contact with more and more government affairs, many of his ideas have changed.
Know how important money really is.
Whether it is for a country or for many people, money is very important.
Only when the court has money can it do many things.
Only when people have money can they live a good life.
Only then can we have more ability to withstand risks.
He knows very well how important it is to the country or the people to have money in their hands.
So I agree with what my second brother-in-law said.
Think again about what Mei Yin told him about the vassal king's external seal and the development of business in the future.
There is also the matter of imposing a sea ban and re-establishing the Municipal Shipping Department...
After these many words were integrated together, I suddenly found a good way.
A path that, if implemented properly, can make the Ming Dynasty different.
This made Prince Zhu Biao couldn't help but wonder for a moment, had his second brother-in-law considered this matter long ago?
Because there is a huge gap between what the second brother-in-law said.
But they were able to unite together to form a good system.
Zhu Biao had some doubts in his heart.
Are all these... really what Liu Bowen said?
Was it really the second brother-in-law who was inspired and came up with this idea after listening to Liu Bowen’s words?
Zhu Biao felt that maybe... not all of them were like that.
Mr. Qingtian is really great, there is no need to say that.
But my second brother-in-law is indeed very talented himself.
My second brother-in-law is truly extraordinary, beyond the reach of ordinary people.
"Second brother-in-law, then... after doing this, will... many people will abandon the land in the future.
Are they all running to do business?
If everyone goes into business, who will cultivate the land?
Population mobility is also bound to be large and difficult to manage.
It is not conducive to the stability of the country..."
After a while, Zhu Biao looked at Mei Yin again and expressed the questions in his heart.
This is something he must consider.
It is human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and to pursue higher interests.
Under the premise of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business, there will still be many people who go into business to make a fortune.
From now on, if the imperial court does not do this, it will even encourage commercial development.
That will inevitably lead to more and more people seeing the benefits of doing business.
More and more people will even give up cultivating the land and participate in business.
As a result, will there be a problem of land being abandoned?
If such a problem really occurs, what should we do?
Not being able to produce enough food is definitely not a good thing for Ming Dynasty!
Since ancient times, food has been the most important thing for people.
People's stomach problems are the biggest problem.
Just like my own father, he would not rebel unless he was too hungry to survive.
Things like gold and silver are really important.
But if there is no food and only gold and silver are left, that will not work either.
There's going to be a big problem!
After Mei Yin heard what her uncle said, she couldn't help but give Zhu Biao a thumbs up.
Not to mention, Prince Zhu Biao only wants to go far, and he is really good at it.
I and him are just talking about this now.
He didn't even think much about this before.
But when he said these words to him, Zhu Biao was able to think so deeply and quickly.
It is indeed not something that ordinary people can compare to.
My uncle, the prince, is not vain at all.
He immediately said: "Brother, in fact, this will definitely happen to a certain extent.
But the eldest brother doesn’t have to worry too much.
People are diverse and are good at many different things.
And generally speaking, many people tend to stay in their comfort zones and are unwilling to go out.
If someone later sees others making money in business, they will definitely go there.
But there will be many people who can’t do this but still farm.
Because doing business is not that easy. There are profits and losses.
You can't just see the thief eating meat, you can't not see the thief being beaten.
Some people will understand this truth if they pay compensation.
I will go back and continue farming...
Of course, this is only from an individual perspective.
Overall, there will definitely be more and more people doing business.
But brother, don’t worry, a lot of land will be abandoned.
Because when the Ming Dynasty is really achieved, many people will give up good land and turn to business.
This shows that Ming Dynasty's business has developed to a particularly strong and prosperous stage.
If it can really develop to that extent, it will actually be a good thing for Ming Dynasty. It shows that the social structure of the Ming Dynasty as a whole has made a new breakthrough.
Materials in all aspects have been greatly enriched.
At that time, the government will only collect commercial taxes, and it will be able to collect a lot of money and fill the national treasury.
Under such circumstances, the government can also take action to do something.
For example, the taxes levied on people who farm can be reduced.
Reduce it by one-third, half, or even for free...
In this case, will more people come to farm?
Even with the good development of business in the Ming Dynasty, later on, the state could use part of the commercial tax to compensate the people.
For example, farming doesn’t just mean you don’t have to pay land tax.
On the contrary, corresponding subsidies can also be issued according to the number of acres of farmed land.
A certain amount of money will be subsidized for each acre of land.
Under such circumstances, how much land will be abandoned? ”
After hearing what Mei Yin said, Prince Zhu Biao's expression froze, and Mei Yin's eyes changed somewhat.
Everyone looked extremely unbelievable.
I was shocked by what Mei Yin said.
After business develops to a certain level, commercial tax will be used to supplement land tax.
A large number of taxes were reduced and exempted for the people who farmed the land. Even later, the people who farmed the land did not have to pay land taxes. On the contrary, they were able to receive compensation from the government.
This...is this too amazing? !
This is a direction that Zhu Biao had never thought of before.
Not only did the people not pay taxes for farming, but they also took money from the government. It only reduced the land tax by 10% to 20%. At this time, it can make many people cheer.
If we were to become a Ming Dynasty, one day we would really be able to allow people to farm land without collecting taxes, and even be able to get money from the government.
What kind of scene would that be? !
Zhu Biao didn't even dare to think about such things. Just thinking about it makes people feel bizarre and exciting!
But if Ming Dynasty can really reach such a step one day.
The country of the Ming Dynasty will inevitably become impregnable!
The country is stable, who can shake it?
Because after all, the majority of people are still farming.
As long as the people who farm the land will not be without food, at least they will not starve to death.
Under such circumstances, how could there be too many people following others to rebel and a large-scale rebellion?
It is impossible to deal with the Ming Dynasty and overthrow the rule of the Ming Dynasty.
This picture is really great!
The good prince Zhu Biao couldn't even imagine it for a moment.
"Second brother-in-law, can you really achieve what you... said?"
A gust of wind blew, making Zhu Biao feel cold.
He woke up suddenly and returned to reality.
He asked Mei Yin this question.
It wasn't that he didn't want to believe it, but what his second brother-in-law Mei Yin said was too shocking and too bizarre.
Completely beyond human imagination.
He couldn't believe it...
Hearing this, Mei Yin looked at Prince Zhu Biao and said, "Brother, it's very difficult to achieve this.
It requires a series of developments and a series of changes.
But I can tell you with certainty that as long as Daming can continue to develop and move forward on the right path.
Then, one day, this kind of scene will definitely be realized.
But I don’t know exactly how many years it will take and how it will develop.
No one can say anything about this.
Even during the lifetime of my father and eldest brother as emperors, it is difficult to see them..."
Hearing what Mei Yin said, Zhu Biao took a deep breath, nodded and said: "Second brother-in-law, I believe you!
I want to believe what you said is true!
From now on, I, Da Ming, will definitely follow what my second brother-in-law said! ”
Zhu Biao said with a firm expression.
This does not mean that he really believed what Mei Yin said.
Rather, he wanted to believe what Mei Yin said.
Because what Mei Yin said is really too beautiful.
It makes people unable to bear to doubt and willing to believe that these are true!
As for it, it is difficult to see this while my father is still alive.
Zhu Biao was also mentally prepared.
Of course, what if you can't see it? As long as my father and I are around, we can go in the right direction.
We can see that Ming Dynasty is getting better day by day.
It can surpass the Han and Tang Dynasties, which is enough.
Prince Zhu Biao always seems to be more cautious in doing things.
At this time, it was also rare for him to appear full of pride.
If that's the case, let's do it!
Open the sea, set up a shipping company, develop commerce, do it step by step, and see how far you can go in Ming Dynasty!
Seeing her uncle's reaction, Mei Yin's heart was filled with smiles.
Done!
This time, it's going to happen!
All his hard work was not in vain.
Now, we finally have a preliminary victory!
Let my uncle accept what he said.
Mei Yin naturally knew that there was still a long way to go before his uncle could accept these things and implement them.
But for him, this is already a very good result.
It is now the early Ming Dynasty, the Hongwu period, and the power of all classes is not that strong yet.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the emperor, was able to calm the situation.
There are many things, as long as you can convince Zhu Biao and Zhu Yuanzhang, the father-in-law.
As long as they want to implement it, there is a high possibility that they can promote it in the future.
And some things, as long as they are implemented for a long time, more and more people will be involved, and more and more people will be brought into it.
Let more people from overseas see various benefits and gain benefits.
That will create strong inertia.
It will be difficult to stop in the future.
A general trend will be formed, pushing the people behind to follow this path.
Even later, some people wanted to stop or stop it.
That's no use either.
If nothing else, it’s just like the reforms promoted by Shang Yang.
After so many years of implementation, the new king came to the throne, and Shang Yang was counterattacked by the old nobles and killed.
But, so what?
Although Lord Shang died, the policies implemented by Lord Shang are still being implemented.
Only those people can stop it and do the opposite through some means.
"After listening to my second brother-in-law's words today, it's really better than ten years of reading! No! It's better than a hundred years of reading!
The talent of the second brother-in-law is truly astonishing.
From now on, I will make changes and make breakthroughs whenever possible.
can become different from previous dynasties.
People can live and work in peace and contentment.
Many people are well fed and few starve to death, all because of the second brother-in-law! ”
Zhu Biao looked at Mei Yin and spoke very seriously.
This is really what he thinks deep down.
Hearing this, Mei Yin waved his hands and said: "Brother, I am just talking nonsense.
What credit is there?
It's just a move of the mouth.
I don’t know how far we have to go before these things are actually implemented and successful.
How many people in the middle have to endure hardships and even sacrifice their lives?
In the future, Ming Dynasty will change and become better. This is not my credit, but the credit of everyone who works hard for these things! ”
When Zhu Biao heard this, he smiled and recognized Mei Yin, his second brother-in-law, even more.
I feel that my second brother-in-law is different from many people in this world.
Whether it's thoughts or words, many things are different.
But it makes people feel very comfortable.
The conversation between Zhu Biao and Mei Yin lasted only about an hour.
But the content of the conversation is very important.
It is even directly related to the future development direction of Ming Dynasty.
And it's not the kind that takes one or two years, but the kind that takes hundreds, or even hundreds of years!
From now on, the fate of Ming Dynasty, as well as the fate of countless people living in Ming Dynasty, will change because of this conversation between Mei Yin and Prince Zhu Biao.
Not even Prince Zhu Biao could have imagined that the conversation between him and his second brother-in-law would have such a far-reaching impact.
The seeds have been planted, and some developments appear quietly...
Earth-shattering things often start from the beginning...
Princess Ningguo and Xiaochan prepared the ingredients here.
The crown prince's concubine Lu, who had hit a snag before, also held back all kinds of disgust and disgust in her heart.
Also preparing ingredients here with Princess Ningguo and Xiaochan.
And cook.
At this time, Mrs. Lu was still not at peace in her heart.
I'm still thinking about the failure I encountered with the prince before.
But it didn't show on the face.
She was full of small thoughts, but she had no idea how many big things had happened just now.
Mrs. Lu looked down upon Princess Ningguo and the family where Mei Yin lived.
This is especially true for the pig pen in Mei Yin's house and the pigs in the pig pen.
I think this is something that lowly people would do...
……
"Prince, second brother-in-law, come quickly, the meal is almost ready and waiting for you!"
Seeing that Zhu Biao and Mei Yin had ended their conversation and came over, Mrs. Lu suddenly had a smile on her face.
It seems that this smile is particularly sincere.
He didn't feel unhappy at all because Zhu Biao had not drank tea before and asked her to bring the tea back directly.
It was as if such a thing had never happened at all.
Mei Yin looked at Lu's reaction and couldn't help but smile to herself.
This Lu family is really quite scheming.
Apart from anything else, this ability alone is not something that ordinary people can possess.
But think about it, if you don’t have a little cleverness, be careful.
How could he accomplish so many evil things in history?
How could she turn herself into the crown prince's official concubine by relying on her status as the crown prince's concubine?
And also let her son become the emperor in the future?
It's a pity that her son is too useless.
If Zhu Yunwen is a capable guy, regardless of how powerful he is, just having one is enough.
There may be a big difference between Zhu Yunwen and Lu's style...
"Second brother-in-law, try it quickly. This is the food I cooked. Can you eat it?"
She greeted Mei Yin warmly, and she really looked like a very good and qualified sister-in-law.
When Mei Yin saw this, he naturally wouldn't say anything more.
He also smiled and answered her.
It's just that the meal this time was clearly cooked by Princess Ningguo and Xiaochan.
Why is it that now, when it comes to her mouth, it seems like she did it alone?
This woman will really take credit for herself...
……
"Okay, it's delicious. My sister-in-law's cooking is really good!"
After Mei Yin ate some of Lu's cooking, she praised it loudly.
It's just a joke! Who wouldn't?
Moreover, at this time, his uncle was also present.
After that phone call just now, I decided to take this step to the outside world.
Under such circumstances, no matter what, I have to give face to my uncle.
As for the Lu family...
Without her uncle, who would she be?
No one wants to pay any attention to her!
After listening to Mei Yin's words, Mrs. Lu felt happy.
I feel that my hard work this time was not in vain.
In this capacity, I can cook for a pig feeder like Mei Yin.
That really gave Mei Yintian a lot of face.
Thinking about it this time, Mei Yin's impression of him is pretty good...
Princess Ning Guo was also there, praising the delicious food cooked by Mrs. Lu.
Ms. Lu was humble on the outside, but very proud in her heart.
I think this is natural.
Princess Ningguo, after praising the deliciousness of Lu's cooking, added without any trace - the food tasted much worse than the food cooked by her husband.
……
"Brother, don't leave today, just stay here.
Wait until tomorrow to leave. ”
After lunch, Mei Yin looked at Prince Zhu Biao and invited him.
Zhu Biao smiled and said: "Okay, then I won't leave.
Stay here for one night today and leave tomorrow.
To be honest, I have long wanted to stay with my second brother-in-law for a day.
Just never had the time.
Now that I finally have some free time, I have to leave everything behind! ”
Although Lu was not willing to spend the night in the countryside.
But even if Prince Zhu Biao did, she would definitely not say anything more.
And I also think that this is okay.
In this case, I can have a longer time to interact with Mei Yin.
Deepen Mei Yin's good impression of herself.
Little does she know that the longer she lives here and the more contact she has with Mei Yin, the more disgusted and impatient Mei Yin becomes towards her.
……
"Second brother-in-law, let's go and walk around in the fields."
After Zhu Biao drank a cup of tea, he spoke to Mei Yin.
When he came to Mei Yin's side, after taking care of business, he also wanted to do something in the fields of his second brother-in-law's house.
If you change your lifestyle and environment, you will feel much more comfortable.
Hearing this, Mei Yin said: "Okay, let's go. The first batch of sweet potatoes that happened to be planted can basically be harvested by now.
Let's go dig some sweet potatoes today, and when we have barbecue in the evening, we'll roast some more sweet potatoes.
Brother, don’t tell me, these sweet potatoes are the most delicious when roasted, fragrant and sweet.
I guarantee you, brother, will be full of praise after you eat it! ”
"Sweet potato? What is this?"
Lu looked a little curious.
Immediately he asked the doubts in his heart.
I think she is a dignified concubine of the crown prince and comes from a scholarly family.
What good things have you not eaten?
Even if you have never eaten it, you will definitely have heard the name.
Why am I hearing about an unknown food now?
Zhu Biao laughed when he heard this and said: "Sweet potatoes are the second brother-in-law's luck.
Before that, some new seedlings appeared in the fields of the second brother-in-law and some other people in Shuangshui Village.
Many people treat it as a weed and get rid of it.
But the second brother-in-law found it strange.
I want to see what this thing can look like.
Just left it.
But who would have thought that after some planting, I would find that this thing is a good crop.
The leaves are delicious, and the fruits below are even better..."
After hearing Zhu Biao's explanation, Lu finally understood what Mei Yin was talking about about sweet potatoes.
Suddenly a lot of disdain arose.
After fussing for a long time, it turned out to be wild fruit!
It sounds so high-end, how delicious can this thing be?
