Chapter 109: What does it look like to be on track?
Yun Zhao felt that it was necessary for him to be quiet, so he went to Zhongnan Mountain and lived in the Golden Immortal Temple.
The Golden Immortal View is not a Great Dao View, the problem is that there is a Taoist Liang Xingyang who has changed from a brave man to a madman, and from a madman to a wise man.
Yun Zhao felt that this guy had something he needed.
Since coming to this world, Yun Zhao's identity has been constantly changing, from a stupid young master of a landlord's family, to the sole heir of a family of bandits, to the county order of Lantian, to the world-famous hero who plotted the world, and finally became the emperor.
Every identity change is not an easy thing for Yun Zhao.
Especially the last two identities, which have too much influence on him.
Whether it is a hero in troubled times or an emperor, it is the most exciting part of a person's life process.
With great power comes great temptation.
Yun Zhao clearly felt that if it weren't for the fact that he still had a supreme pride in his body, he would ...... at this time It's going to get weird!
Throughout history, it was never the imperial court that defeated the rebel army, but the rebel army itself.
Therefore, after knowing that he was still the heir of the robber family, Yun Zhao tried his best to avoid becoming a peasant rebel army.
Compared with Li Hongji and Zhang Bingzhong's generation, the Yun family is actually a squire.
Since he is a squire, then, he can't do things as openly as Li Hongji and them, Yun Zhao knows that when the fire of the uprising burns, no one can control him.
Zhu Yuanzhang was an exception, and he was able to succeed entirely because the rulers at that time were Mongols!
The gentry revolt was markedly different from the peasant revolt, they were more tightly organized, their goals were clearer, their methods were more cunning, and they were generally the ones who captured the fruits of the peasant revolt.
Yun Zhao followed this path.
Sure enough, he had the last laugh.
The lame Liang Xingyang married a wife and gave birth to a beautiful, healthy son.
He resigned from his position as the manager of the Bald Mountain Cemetery in Lantian and returned to the Golden Immortal Temple to become a happy Taoist priest again.
He's really happy...... It's the kind of joy that enjoys life.
He cultivated a few acres of land, but he didn't take care of it carefully, and he wanted as much as he had left after the insects ate the birds.
He has a small orchard, and he doesn't take care of it much, the fruit is ripe, and the people who come to Zhongnanshan to play, pick some of them and ignore them, and he will take the money when he gives it, and he will do it at will if he doesn't give money, and the rest of the fruit is ripe and falls to the ground, and he is also happy.
He also has a watermelon field, the watermelons in the field are not well cared for, but they grow very well, but the melons here are not too big, but the taste is good. Except for eating some for himself and giving some away, the rest was stolen by children in nearby villages.
He is always smiling, quite a bit of 'leading the pot to drink himself, and the court is pleasant. Leaning on the south window to be proud, the knees are easy to be safe. The garden is involved in the fun, although the door is set up and often closed. Help the old to rest, and look at it from time to time. The clouds have no intention of going out, and the birds are tired of flying and know how to return. Jing Phong will enter, caress the lonely pine and coil. 'Old Zhuang bearing.
In fact, that's how tall people get tall.
As long as you behave differently and make everyone happy, then you must be a master.
Yun Zhao had a hard time finding a ripe watermelon in his watermelon geography.
Liang Xingyang lifted a pile of wheat straw, and there were several different-looking watermelons under the wheat straw, each of which looked like it was ripe.
He picked one like a child offering treasures, washed it with clear spring water, and with a light punch of his fist, the watermelon burst open, and the bright red flesh of the melon seemed to be coated with a layer of cinnabar.
"It's for the best."
Liang Xingyang handed half of it to Yun Zhao as he spoke, and the two of them sat on the edge of the spring, eating melons with their hands.
The children swimming in the lower reaches of the stream saw that the two actually had melons to eat, so they got out of the water naked, and crawled in the melon field for a long time, but did not find a ripe watermelon, so they had to return to the water, admiring the good luck of the watermelon Taoist people, and they could actually find a ripe one.
It can be seen that Liang Xingyang hopes that Yun Zhao will ask him why he has such a peaceful state of mind, but unfortunately, Yun Zhao just eats melons with his head bored and doesn't ask about Liang Xingyang's changes.
"Your Majesty won't ask me if I'm sick again?"
Liang Xingyang finally couldn't bear it anymore.
Yun Zhao raised his head and looked at Liang Xingyang and said, "If the person who is sick can be as happy as you, the person who is sick will be sick, what does it matter?" ”
"I have a very good wife!"
Yun Zhao nodded and said: "It's really good, I can connive at you being lazy, if I have such a piece of land, my two wives will definitely urge me to make the Golden Immortal Temple the largest Taoist temple in the world as soon as possible, expand the land here to the end of the sky, and then plant watermelons all over the world." ”
"The main thing is that my wife gave me a baby bump."
"My two wives gave birth to three baby bumps for me."
"So, I'm satisfied, and I don't want anything more."
"I can't do it, I still want more things, and I'm just getting started."
Yun Zhao emptied the watermelon, put the melon skin bowl into the stream, and watched it float downstream.
"So Your Majesty is not happy."
"Hmph, I'm happy, you're going to be unlucky."
"Oh, yes, hahaha, this is Your Majesty's troubles, it seems that my little Golden Immortal can't carry His Majesty's many sorrows."
Yun Zhao washed his hands in the stream, left the melon field, and followed the legendary Zhongnan shortcut to Zhongnan Mountain with his hands behind his back.
Under an old pine, Chang Guoyu has been waiting here for a long time.
He specially came to Yushan from Lantian City to explain Sun Guoxin's previous behavior.
Without waiting for him to speak, Yun Zhao waved his hand and said, "Half of what Guoxin said in the song is right, politics and religion must be separated, this is what we have set before, and I am very happy that he can insist on this."
At the same time, religion should be compassionate and kind, and I agree with that, he can pursue the great light, the great perfection that he yearns for...... But! This is not how government affairs should be.
The word rule is unremarkable, but from the beginning of the birth of these two words, he has the smell of blood, and it is good that he is not contaminated. ”
Chang Guoyu was surprised by Yun Zhao's understanding of Sun Guoxin, but he still said quickly: "Your Majesty, Sun Guo's confidence is like a child. ”
Yun Zhao looked at Chang Guoyu and said, "Could it be that I didn't make it clear?" ”
Chang Guoyu was stunned for a moment and said, "It's clear." ”
Yun Zhao said with satisfaction: "Speaking of which, Sun Guoxin is a really good person, and when he studied Buddhism later, he stimulated his kind side, so he is a good person."
Like you, you can't be a good person, so it's up to you to bind the Mongols. ”
Chang Guoyu did not show a happy look when he heard this huge appointment, but pondered for a moment and said: "I can probably hold out for five years, at most eight years, and after eight years, Your Majesty should find someone to replace me." ”
Yun Zhao glanced at Chang Guoyu and said: "If you think about the beauty, it will be five years, and you will be replaced after five years, this is the permanent rule of the imperial court for the appointment of officials in areas where people of different races account for the majority." ”
Chang Guoyu said: "Okay, I'll take it, it's just that Wechen hopes to change the method of restraint, no longer supplemented by the economy, and the method of deterrence by force, if it can be replaced by economic restraint and supplemented by military deterrence, Wechen will have the confidence to regain the hearts of the people within five years." ”
Yun Zhao looked at Chang Guoyu and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Chang Guoyu said: "In Mongolia, the Lantian law was implemented, first the trade law was implemented, and two years later, the Lantian law was fully implemented, and from now on, students from the prisoners were selected to enter the pastoral areas, and a school was set up in each pastoral area to implement the Chinese language. ”
Yun Zhao nodded and said, "Is it feasible?" ”
Chang Guoyu frowned and said: "If it is not feasible, it must be done, this is the premise of loosening the restrictions on the Mongols, and this Weichen will inform Sun Guoxin that he must cooperate with us to complete the Sinicization process of the Mongols." ”
Yun Zhao thought for a moment and said, "There are many prisoners in Jiangnan who have read books. ”
Chang Guoyu smiled: "Weichen understands. ”
Yun Zhao was very satisfied with Chang Guoyu.
At least this guy's advice is very reliable, unlike Sun Guoxin's bottomless approach to others.
The policy of the state cannot be good to a certain ethnic group for no reason, it is unprincipled, and at the same time it is good for you, you must also make a certain contribution to the country.
The two are mutually reinforcing, and if the state is simply good to you, but you have no contribution to the country, it is the fault of the state.
It is also the fault of the state that you have contributed to the country, but the state has not formulated policies that cater to you.
A blend of water and milk is the best policy.
Han Xiufen fully understands these profound truths, and her political theories have always been very outstanding, but in Malacca, she did not use any political strategies that she had written.
The reason why I don't use it is because it can't be used at all, and if you use it, the local people can't understand it, and it's useless work.
On the sea, force is respected, and whoever has a big ship and sharp artillery is the king.
This is a truly barbaric land, and whoever ignites the light of civilization here is a complete loser.
It's ridiculous to say that civilization is the sign of the world's progress. ’
However, civilization is always destroyed by barbarism, and there are countless examples of this.
Therefore, Han Xiufen is still very barbaric until now.
It's not that Han Xiufen thinks she's barbaric, it's that all the people who operate in this sea and land think that Han Xiufen is a barbarian.
After receiving five iron-hulled ships from Shi Lang, Han Xiufen became even more savage.
Because, she began to collect taxes on the Straits of Malacca.
Her trade rules are very simple: ships entering the South China Sea from outside Malacca, she wants 10% of the goods as tax, and ships from the South China Sea entering the Indian Ocean through Malacca, she also wants 10% of the goods as tax.
There was no one who suffered more about this rule than the Dutch East India Company, which had the largest volume of trade.
