Chapter 45 The West is sharpening its sword!
“For the world, for the people, for the struggle, for the revolution, what a big statement.”
“For those who don’t know, they think you are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.”
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he laughed. This kind of arrogant scholar is really rare, especially when he barked in his face again and again.
Do you really think he has a good temper?
The murderous intention towards Xia Zhibai in his heart reached its peak.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes showed no concealment of murderous intent, and he said coldly: "You are a dying person, and we are too lazy to talk nonsense to you."
"It's a complete waste of our time."
“The reason why we came here is for no other reason than to let you die clearly.”
“And it was not us who was wrong.”
"It's you."
"Governing the world is not just about putting your upper lip against your lower lip, but doing things down-to-earth. If all the literati in the world were like you, then our Ming Dynasty would really be the world. "Dead."
Xia Zhibai said: "Your Majesty, do you think the common people are lying?"
"Isn't it?" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, without any good expression.
Extremely indifferent.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "You said that our Ming Dynasty would die in a civil uprising."
"Let me tell you, it will never be possible."
"We have some requirements for the people, but we have Other dynasties will at least give them a way to survive."
"How can they turn against us?"
"You keep accusing us of our faults."
"Then let me ask you."
"In all dynasties, which emperor did not think about his own family?"
"Is it wrong for us to think about our own family?"
Xia Zhibai was silent.
Throughout the long history, Zhu Yuanzhang did everything right, and it was also what many emperors would do. After all, this is the family and the world.
But the world is changing.
Continuing to use old ideas to rule the world will only go further and further wrong.
Country, country, first there is country, then there is home.
Not the country.
Take care of your family first, then give to the country.
This puts the cart before the horse.
A country should serve its country first, and then make a family. When the world prospers, it will naturally feed back to its family.
Xia Zhibai said: "In fact, there is nothing wrong with what your Majesty did. If it were done by someone else, it might be the same, or even worse than what your Majesty did."
"It's just that your Majesty was confused. A word."
"Country!"
"The reason why all the people work so hard and devote their efforts to the country is that when the country becomes strong, it can feed back to their own small families."
"And what you are doing now is to let the people serve you first. The Zhu family, then you look at the situation and give alms to the world."
"Don't you think it's too greedy?"
Hearing Xia Zhibai's accusation, Zhu Yuanzhang could no longer bear it. Unable to control his anger, he said angrily: "That's enough! We didn't come here to listen to what you say about us."
"You are not qualified!"
"Why, just because we are from poor peasant backgrounds, we have to think about the people every day? Think about the people every day? We are not that generous."
"We can't do it either!"
Xia Zhibai shook his head, with a determined look in his eyes, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, you are wrong again."
"What I just want to tell you is that your doting on the Zhu family will only harm the Zhu family. ."
"Because the world has changed!"
"Your Majesty, it's time to open your eyes and see the world."
"Your Majesty fought for the world from the Mongols of the Yuan Dynasty. You should understand the brilliant achievements of the Yuan Empire in the past." "The Yuan Dynasty in the past, It reaches Liaozuo in the east, Liusha in the west, crosses the Yinshan Mountains in the north, and extends beyond the sea in the south. When the Han and Tang Dynasties were at their peak, it was not as good as it was in the Yuan Dynasty. br>
“If we talk about Mongolia, talk about Genghis Khan.”
"This world is even broader, because the Mongols have fought further to the west, and can even be said to have reached the end of the Silk Road of the Han and Tang Dynasties."
"And further to the west, the invincible and invincible Mongolian army Lost.”
“Your Majesty, do you know what this means?”
Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes turned cold.
He stared at Xia Zhibai coldly, his eyes showing solemnity and fear for the first time. How did Xia Zhibai know these secrets?
The remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty?
Xia Zhibai patted the soil on his body and continued: "Looking at your majesty's nervous expression, I'm afraid he knows this information."
"Then your majesty should also know."
“This world is not limited to the Central Plains.”
“The world is very big.”
"In the past, exchanges between the East and the West were mainly through the Silk Road, and both the Han and Tang Dynasties benefited from this. However, in recent years, due to the turmoil in the north, this ancient Silk Road has gradually been interrupted."
"Exchanges between the East and the West Gradually stopped. "
"In your Majesty's heart, the Central Plains has always been a land of outstanding people and countless rare treasures, and the outside is a barbarian land, so it doesn't matter whether it has contact with the outside world. "
"Even..."
"Your Majesty is unwilling to communicate with the outside world."
"Because in His Majesty's eyes, the countries on the Silk Road are all 'poor relatives'. Doing business with the Ming Dynasty is just to seek revenge."
"You would rather cut off contact."
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and did not refute. He did have this intention, especially when the surrounding countries came to pay tribute, and the court had to spend a lot of extra money every time.
He certainly won’t welcome you.
Xia Zhibai added: "This is your Majesty's biggest problem right now, short-sightedness."
"You can only see the present, but not the long term."
"In His Majesty's heart, the surrounding countries, and even more distant places, are all barren and not worth looking at at all."
"Your Majesty prefers to close the door and live his own life."
"Be independent of the world."
"But your Majesty has forgotten that your Majesty is sitting on such a plump and graceful In this world, enjoying endless gold and silver treasures, how can we not make people jealous?”
"The West is sharpening its sword now."
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and shouted angrily: "Fart, it's a good thing we didn't attack them. How dare they try to trick us?"
" Do you really think our sword doesn’t exist?”
Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes were full of anger. He created the Ming Dynasty by himself. Everything in the Ming Dynasty belongs to him. How can he allow outsiders to peep and plunder?
Zhu Biao's expression was slightly strange.
What Xia Zhibai said was completely beyond his expectation. He couldn't help but be in a daze. He didn't even know how Xia Zhibai knew many things.
It’s just that these words are somewhat alarmist.
He still has a certain understanding of the outside world. There are indeed many countries in the outside world, but they are completely incomparable with Ming Dynasty. As a kingdom in heaven, Ming Dynasty naturally has such confidence and confidence.
Xia Zhibai looked indifferent.
He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang and his son would not believe it so easily, because it was completely different from what they currently knew, and he was going to break that layer of arrogance.
Let them open their eyes to the world!
Although to a certain extent, it is a bit embellished and even exaggerated, but for the better growth and future of China, he has no shirk his duty.
Xia Zhibai said: "Your Majesty, do you still remember the few sentences I wrote on the test paper?"
"An acre produces a thousand catties of grain, an iron horse that travels a thousand miles a day, and kills enemies thousands of miles away. Fire dragons and so on, these things are becoming a reality step by step.”
“It is even a reality.”
"The future has come!"
"The Ming Dynasty is slowly slipping from the self-righteous position of the Celestial Kingdom and the most powerful country in the world, and is catching up step by step with, and even surpassing, the 'weak' countries outside! ”
