Chapter 859 Difficulty of Reform, Bold Student

Liang Zhong didn't ask about the first question. After the door closed, he said in a low voice: "Your Highness made a point, but the princess said that if she can make money, of course she will pay taxes. If she doesn't make money, let alone pay taxes, even wages I can't even open it!"

"This is a temptation!"

Fang Xing raised his glass and said, "Princess's eyelids are too shallow, right? Daming has countless profitable businesses. Does she have to test His Majesty's bottom line?"

Liang Zhong took a sip of his wine, squinted his eyes in satisfaction and said, "Speaking of which, it's your fault. Those relatives and feudal lords all want to see His Majesty's attitude towards business tax. It would be great if you can let go."

Fang Xing smiled: "It's not just them, is it? Don't those famous families have any business?"

Liang Zhong put down his wine glass, shook his head, and said, "I can't move these things at the moment. Let me advise you, whoever moves now will be unlucky! I heard that His Majesty has been checking Wang Anshi's reform strategy for a few days, but he didn't hear anything after that. This shows that Nothing can be done."

Fang Xing ate as usual, but secretly sighed in his heart.

Wang Anshi was ambitious and wanted to restore the Song Dynasty's decline, but he fell into party struggle after all.

"Sima Guang!"

...

Speaking of Wang Anshi, even Xie Jin was full of admiration.

"The old man used to act frankly, but he is far behind Wang Banshan. He is not afraid of changes in the sky, his ancestors are not lawful, and people's words are not sympathetic. What kind of mind is this! Compared with him, Sima Guang is nothing more than a sharp-edged official! "

Sima Guang's most proud thing is probably his knowledge of Zizhi, so it's not wrong for Xie Jin to compare him to a knife and pen official.

"If it weren't for Pang Ji, how could he have a chance to make a comeback? In the end, the so-called moral gentleman is just superficial skills, plus the praise of others."

Fang Xing said with a smile: "If Sima Jun really concentrates on his studies, he can be regarded as a generation of masters. If he really wants to set foot in the officialdom, he will not lose his duty in compiling history books and admonishing Taiwan. It's just... the emperors in the former Song Dynasty who were controlled by others. His mental skills finally made him the one who decided the future of the former Song Dynasty."

Xie Jin shook his head and said: "The situation at that time was not the fault of Sima Junshi alone. If he said something wrong, it was because the emperor of the former Song Dynasty had no backbone. Dare to be so unscrupulous?"

Wang Anshi's young crop law was eventually destroyed by officials, and the conservatives just watched the fun from the sidelines.

There were even people who made trouble secretly. Sima Guang himself said: All officials are ungrateful, so they are harming the people!

Putting party struggle above the country, based on this alone, it can be said that it is really unreasonable for the former Song Dynasty not to perish!

Xie Jin sighed and said: "Dehua, you are smart, you do it piecemeal, you make a little bit of layout, don't worry."

Fang Xing said with a smile: "If I learn from Wang Anshi, the grass on the grave will be three feet high."

"Use profit to lure him! This is your benefit."

Xie Jin commented on Fang Xing's influence on Daming.

...

And Zhu Di was also talking about Daming's innovation with Zhu Zhanji, and he also appreciated Fang Xing's methods.

"Fang Dehua is flexible and able to take advantage of the situation, you are blessed!"

Zhu Di's vision, after thinking about it, Fang Xing's methods are naturally invisible.

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "Grandpa, Xing Hebo's layout in North Korea and Japan has taught my grandson a lot, and I also feel that Daming should be more flexible in dealing with foreign countries. Fame is definitely necessary, but the benefits It can't be less, otherwise foreigners will often take advantage of it, and as time goes by, they will only treat Daming as a fool!"

Zhu Di touched the paperweight, and sighed: "Wo Kingdom's harvest is too great. Xia Yuanji stayed up all night last night, took someone to inspect and put it in the warehouse, and congratulated me early in the morning with double black eyes, saying that it will be the mansion of Ming Dynasty for the next ten years." Ku has nothing to worry about."

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said: "There are iron ore and copper mines in Huazhou. Nuer Gandusi will not lack these in the future. Hundreds of thousands of Koreans migrated there. Fengchenghou can naturally take the opportunity to explore. By then , Nuer Gandusi should be renamed the chief envoy.”

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Zhu Di couldn't help laughing heartily, remembering the grievances he suffered when Zhu Yuanzhang appointed Zhu Yun as his successor, he suddenly felt his depression disappear.

Zhu Zhanji also felt very proud. Fang Xing was his man, and he was honored to be praised by Zhu Di.

Zhu Di brought the globe over, pointed to the 'sea defense line' and said: "The first line of defense at sea, I don't want to hear Fang Dehua's words. What defense line does Daming want? Attack! Attack out!"

Zhu Di's eyes were piercing, "If there are foreign ministers, then go fight! Fight until the whole world regards Ming as the supreme country!"

After seeing the benefits of the conquest, not only some civil officials are changing their positions, but even Zhu Di himself is quite moved.

Zhu Zhanji said: "Grandpa Emperor, Daming's population is still not enough!"

If the population is not enough, it is not enough to support the continuous outward expansion of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di caressed his beard and said, "Potatoes! After having potatoes, the people of Ming Dynasty don't need to worry about not being able to support their children. If you have more children, you will see results in twenty years."

Potatoes are Zhu Di's greatest confidence at the moment. As long as Daming is not short of food, Arutai and Wala are just chickens and dogs in his eyes.

But when it comes to this matter, Zhu Zhanji feels that Zhu Di is a little guilty: "Grandfather, if you talk about this potato, it will not be a loss if you give it to the Marquis!"

Zhu Di snorted softly: "Now Hou, what will you give later? Could it be Wang Jue?"

Zhu Zhanji said with a guilty conscience: "Grandpa Huang, today Xinghe Bo is going to have a class, and my grandson will go and listen first."

Zhu Di shouted: "Get out!"

Zhu Zhanji ran away in a flash, and Zhu Di laughed and scolded: "Zhuzi! Just not steady!"

At this time, Huang Yan apologized and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, Your Highness is eager to learn. In ancient and modern China and abroad, there are not many people who are as studious as Your Highness!"

Zhu Di smiled slightly, stroked his beard secretly.

...

Fang Xing's lectures are scattered, and sometimes he even talks about whatever comes to his mind.

The students in both classes were crowded in the classroom, and they were all heads at a glance.

Fang Xing didn't need any teaching aids, and just went on stage empty-handed.

The students below lowered their breaths and carefully watched the head of the mountain who added two chief envoys and several silver mountains to Daming in World War I.

Young people need role models, Fang Xing knows this well, so his first words are encouragement.

"I saw your recent study, it's good, you're improving very fast!"

"Today I will tell you something about the conquest of North Korea and Japan."

Xie Jin was listening in the back, and couldn't help smiling wryly when he heard this topic.

These students are too young!

With a sense of urgency, Fang Xing thought of the lessons learned from the reforms of Wang Anshi and other seniors, so the requirements for the students also increased a lot invisibly.

"The reason for the war between North Korea and Japan this time is very simple, it's just a fight for Tsushima Island."

Fang Xing pointed to the large map hanging on the blackboard and said, "Tsushima Island is a vital point. If it is controlled by North Korea, the Wa Kingdom will be restless, so the two sides fought a big battle."

Zhu Zhanji was listening out the back window, and Jia Quan was also listening, and he listened very seriously.

"Since Daming took back the hometown of Huazhou, the only outward expansion direction of North Korea is the sea, and just opposite the sea is the country of Wa..."

"Both sides are preparing. In the end, it started with North Korea's sneak attack, and ended with Japan's counterattack landing in North Korea. This is because of Ming's intervention."

"You also know what happened afterwards. The Ming Dynasty defeated the Wa Kingdom in one fell swoop and annexed North Korea. So do you have any questions?"

Fang Xing doesn't like pure indoctrination in class, he prefers to let the students discover the mysteries hidden in the incident by themselves.

A student raised his hand, got Fang Xing's consent, got up and asked: "Shan Zhang, according to what you said, did this series of things actually start with Daming taking back Huazhou?"

This question made Xie Jin's eyes light up, and the students were all in an uproar.

Could this series of events be controlled by Daming behind the scenes?
