After Zhou Billy finished speaking, his face twisted. It is hard to imagine that the big spy chief of the Far East, who has always been unscrupulous, still has such a side.

Li Ming glanced at Zhou Billy, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "It may be that Zhu Yuanzhang was very badly harmed by corrupt officials when he was a child, so he can't trust officials the most." Even the taxes were collected by the local gentry and then reported directly to the county officials. The original intention of this measure in Zhu Chongba was not to give officials the opportunity to rub oil, and the squires themselves were "people" and did not belong to officials, so they could take advantage of this move to put an end to corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

The corruption of officials is also convenient to manage, but the corruption of the squires is not traceable. In order to marry good officials, the local squires did everything they could to climb relatives, pay filial piety, and join the cadre stocks, just hugging the thighs of the officials, and desperately training their own family scholars to participate in the imperial examination and become officials. The collusion between the gentry representing the land and the officials representing the power eventually formed the actual control of the output of the land by the officials and the gentry.

The filial piety of the squires can make the civil officials live much better than the emperor, and the protection of the civil officials can make the squires the emperor of the soil in their hometown, and both parties are beneficiaries. But the emperor was unlucky, and he couldn't receive money and food at all. The Qin cha sent to investigate either shared the benefits with the same stream, or was collectively impeached and overthrown by civilian officials before they could open their mouths, or even died violently for no reason.

Zhu Yuanzhang was born as a peasant farmer, and his small-scale peasant consciousness determined his preference for the social construction of a self-sufficient small-peasant economy, and almost all of his policies had the shadow of small-peasant consciousness. For example, the system of guards was originally intended to be the policy of tuntian, and the army was self-sufficient, which can be regarded as a strange idea of the natural economy of men and women weaving in the construction of the army.

However, he overlooked the fact that the tuntian policy was only applicable in wartime and state of emergency, and that the system of health guards in peacetime was corrupting and declining faster than expected. Soon the generals of the guards became landlords, the soldiers became serfs, and the guards became farms, almost completely losing their military capabilities. The mistake of the small peasant consciousness in the financial system of the Ming Dynasty may be the reason why the Ming Dynasty occupied nearly half of the world's productive forces, but died of poverty. ”

Listened to Li Ming's words. Billy Zhou nodded, and then said gloomily: "Now that Daming is in turmoil, he has long been sick and blind, and it is rotten from top to bottom, even if Zhu Yuanzhang is reincarnated, it will not help." Let's talk about the eight traitors in Shanxi, the three sides of Shaanxi, the three sides of Xuanda, Jizhen, and Liaodong, and the border forts are heavily gathered. In the nine-sided military town, which military leader does not have access to Dongnu and Mongolian Tatars.

If the Far East wants to enter the Central Plains and still retain the basic social structure of the Ming Dynasty, within a hundred years, the country we have worked so hard to build will be no different from the Ming Dynasty today. I still have that view, we must not be soft. Throw away those meaningless good thoughts in your heart as soon as possible, break these bottles and cans and start all over again. Now is the opportunity. Borrowing the knife in the hands of the exile army, the military town heads, bureaucratic groups, and gentry groups in the Central Plains were uprooted. ”

After Zhou Billy finished speaking, Li Ming felt that the temperature of his actions had plummeted, and there was an inexplicable cold aura permeating the surroundings.

Li Ming couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, now many people in the company still have illusions about the gentry class of the Ming Dynasty, and some people even hope to attack Beijing in one go. Completely solve the Ming Dynasty, and other places in the Ming Dynasty will inevitably spread the text for thousands of miles. However, the Ming Dynasty was so big, and the Far East was suddenly swallowed, and the local administration would inevitably rely on the gentry class of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Billy Zhou's idea was a little more intense, it was the best way to do it. But such an extreme plan. Once submitted to a board committee of the company, it is impossible to pass a resolution.

The implementation of an extreme policy of reducing the number of people in Nanyang can help to see it, but if such an extreme approach is adopted in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, it may not be supported by the majority of the people in the Military Commission. After all, they are all flesh and blood compatriots of the same culture, and they can't do it.

Billy Zhou glanced at Li Ming and guessed what he was thinking.

He sneered and said: "I know that the company now wants to be a, and it also wants to set up a torii, and it doesn't want to leave a stain on history." Commander, if it is inconvenient for the company to come forward, you can leave this matter to our intelligence department. In the future, once these things are turned out, the company can detain all the basins on my head, and I have always only looked at the results of my work, and I don't care about those reputations, so I will be stinky for 10,000 years. ”

Li Ming turned his head and scolded with a smile: "What nonsense are you talking about, how can the company let you be alone, and if you really implement such a plan, can you afford it alone." ”

Speaking of this, he thought for a moment, and then continued: "In a few days, when you go to see the leaders of those outcast army, I will also go with you." ”

Zhou Billy listened to Li Ming's words, his eyes lit up, and he continued to bewitch: "Commander, in fact, simply supporting the Wandering People's Army can only cause a certain amount of chaos to Daming, and the effect is really average. My suggestion is to completely control several branches of the wandering people's army, and the leaders and cadres will use our Far Eastern people, so that we can command them to attack and plunder all parts of the Ming Dynasty according to the company's plan, and lay down a base area, and our Far East will organize cadres to enter there for construction.

It was used to seize the assets of the local gentry, landlords and government to meet the infrastructure construction of the base area. In this way, not only can the local gentry class be completely swept away and slowly encroach on the territory of the Ming Dynasty, but also the displaced people from all over the country can be gathered to participate in the production and construction of the base area. At the beginning, we don't have to be in a hurry, we can start with the old border areas of the Ming Dynasty, anyway, under the banner of the Displaced People's Army, at least at the beginning stage, it will not attract the attention of the Ming authorities. ”

Listening to Billy Zhou's words, Li Ming's heart moved, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this plan was very operable.

But for such a big matter, Li Mingzhen couldn't express his position in a hurry, he lowered his head and thought for a while, then raised his head and said in a deep voice: "Lao Zhou, your idea is good, you first sort out your ideas, and then make a detailed plan and then hand it over to me, I will study it with several members of the board of directors first, we must come up with a practical plan, and strive to pass the resolution of the board of directors to vote." ”

Billy Zhou was slightly disappointed when he heard this, but it was also what he expected. He nodded and said, "This is just my initial idea, I will take the time to sort it out, and then make a perfect plan to hand it over to you by the end of this year." ”

Li Ming turned his head, looked at Zhou Billy with a smile and said, "When did you have this idea?" ”

Zhou Billy said with a smile: "After the company proposed the establishment of the Hetao base area, I suddenly felt that the idea of establishing a base area in the Hetao area was very good, and then I slowly had an idea, and I felt that I could follow the form of the Hetao base area, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Chongzhen drought to spread people everywhere, if the base area was moved south, the area of the base area should be gradually expanded."
