At this time, everyone in Fengtian Hall was stunned.

I thought about Zhu Gaoxu's words again and again in my heart.

Zhu Di had long forgotten his previous thoughts.

What's the trick?

It is obvious that this is the case for giving birth to a child, so what else can I ask for?

None of the people sitting here were ordinary people. Except for Mao Xiang, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di had more on their minds.

It even occurred to a level that Zhu Gaoxu had not thought of.

First of all, there are many defenders in the north, most of whom are soldiers from the south who worked hard with Lao Zhu before.

These people can also move their families to the north.

Secondly, given the current state of the Ming Dynasty, the attitude toward the north must always be wary of the Later Yuan Dynasty.

If once Hou Yuan goes south and breaks the city, his wife and parents will be behind him, then the soldiers will definitely be even more desperate.

The combat effectiveness is at least 30% higher.

As for the hidden costs, it is not worth mentioning how much less training and time the court has to spend.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel his breath getting hot.

But Zhu Gaoxu continued as if he didn't see the expressions of several people: "The current situation can only be said to be similar to that of Marquis Xiping, but there are a few points that must be paid attention to."

"Even the Yunnan border guarded by Xipinghou had better improve it."

These can be said to be details, but Zhu Gaoxu decided to talk about it.

When Zhu Gaoxu continued to speak, Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed the words of praise he had just wanted to say, for fear of disturbing his precious grandson.

The three eldest men in Fengtian Hall, who were a hundred years old in total, were all looking intently at a four-year-old child, talking eloquently, and they all looked cautious. If others saw this, they would be shocked.

But no one here felt this way, as if this was how it should be.

Zhu Gaoxu was even more so. He paused briefly to catch his breath and then continued to speak.

"The policy of the Marquis of Xiping to cultivate troops in the fields was to let the soldiers dig wasteland, and then turn over 20% of the profits every year to prepare military rations, and the remaining 80% went to the soldiers."

"Subsequently, several thousand generals will be responsible for their own areas."

"This is equivalent to everything from production to recycling being managed by the local Ministry of War."

"Neither the local government nor the imperial court can control it."

"This also leads to the fact that President Qian has too much power and cannot avoid private taxation and corruption. If the weather is good, God will provide food for them. If the harvest is unfavorable, it may even cause a burden on the soldiers. In this case, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers may not increase but decrease.

.”

As Zhu Gaoxu's words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart that had just been relieved rose again.

As the saying goes, there is no fool in doing this again.

There is no need to speak too clearly.

Especially Zhu Yuanzhang, he was originally from a humble background and he understood the psychology of the people at the bottom very well.

At the same time, he knows better what officers and soldiers with power look like.

The soldiers worked hard to open up wasteland and farm the fields. After a year, the court only harvested 20% of the harvest, while President Qian wanted 50%.

Set up various taxes by yourself, and then stamp them with your own seal.

Those soldiers who don't know what to do can only do it, and the 50% profit will last a year without any illness or disaster.

Otherwise, you will have to borrow food from Mr. Qian, and it will be like a black hole. Borrow one and pay back ten...

In this case, how can the soldiers have the heart to fight, and how can they fight with all their might when a powerful enemy invades?

In fact, although the Yunnan border is implementing the strategy of garrisoning troops to raise troops as Zhu Gaoxu said, it is not as dark as it is.

But this is only temporary. As time goes by, it will happen sooner or later, and it may even get worse.

Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt officials the most in his life. Thinking of this book, his eyes turned red and he secretly clenched his fists, obviously planning to kill again.

Regardless of whether he is greedy or not, I will kill him directly and eliminate all possibilities in the cradle.

As if they sensed Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous intention, Zhu Di and Mao Xiang did not speak, as if the matter had nothing to do with them, they stood aside motionless.

Zhu Gaoxu also noticed Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous intention, so he didn't hesitate and directly told the solution.

After all, Zhu Gaoxu did not want Zhu Yuanzhang to make a big move in this regard.

One is that in the Ming Dynasty general system, although there are many middle-level officers, their quality is quite high.

But I really can't resist Lao Zhu's killing. After all, there are a large number of people waiting on Lan Yu's side, and Xiping Marquis really can't do it.

On the other hand, no matter what, Xipinghou's current management in this area is pretty good, nothing too outrageous, and the crime will not lead to death.

So Zhu Gaoxu said directly: "In fact, it is very simple to solve it."

"Another department is set up to collect grain, which is directly responsible to the imperial court and is directly controlled by the imperial court."

"In terms of candidates, talents can be selected from the imperial examinations, and they will be replaced every three years, and they will be jointly supervised by the local army and local yamen."

"At the same time, the focus of the assessment is changed from the amount of grain collected to the amount of grain stored in the homes of local soldiers, so that officials can help the soldiers get rid of poverty."

Listening to Zhu Gaoxu's words, Zhu Yuanzhang unconsciously touched his hands and laughed.

"Okay, okay! I, the Ming Dynasty, have this grandson who will live for nine thousand years!"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that the annoyance in his chest was swept away, and for a moment he felt as if he was ten years younger.

I have to say that Zhu Gaoxu's method was so wonderful that even the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty would not have been able to come up with this idea.
