Chapter 421 24. Seeking the Great Way Among the Kings and Hegemons

"I wonder what the master can teach my lord?"

Monk Kuaichuan Shaoxi has a square face, big ears, a plump face, and a standard Chinese character face, not a weak one. Observing carefully, we can see that there is quite a bit of a samurai's fighting spirit, but two bits of the benevolence of gods and Buddhas are missing.

When a tutor is hired, no matter how famous he is, it is only right that he should take the exam first.

Yamauchi Yoshiharu has not been in good spirits these past two days. He just sits on the table and leans on the support table. Mrs. Nagao is now dressed like a monk and nun. She no longer wears the gorgeous Wufu of a noble lady. Her head is wrapped in a light crimson gauze monk's scarf, and she holds Yamauchi Taro in her arms.

As a monk, she also nodded and saluted Monk Kuaichuan Shaoxi, but did not speak. It was Hosokawa Sainyu who asked questions.

Of course, Hosokawa Zaimei is qualified to ask about the relationship between him and Yamauchi Yoshikatsu who grew up wearing a pair of crotchless pants. Five hundred years ago, they both had the same father, and now they are the uncle and Fuyaku. He is not qualified to ask. Who is qualified to ask?

"I don't know, Guisuke?" the great monk asked Hosokawa Kainyu with a smile.

"I am the leader of the Yamauchi clan's samurai family, the lord of Shinshu Ina Takato City, and Hosokawa Zainyu is in charge of the administration." Hosokawa Zainyu also reported her family name.

"The Hosokawa family has been a famous family for generations, and has produced heroes in large numbers for more than three hundred years. Today, seeing the heroic appearance of Cai Nu, a humble monk knows it."

Kuai Chuan Shaoxi knows how to be a good person, so bragging is not a big deal, since he was born in the Toki Gen clan and had the same father as Hosokawa Saime five hundred years ago, so it doesn't matter if he brags about it. Moreover, Hosokawa's military reputation was as good as her father's, so she deserved his praise.

"Master Miaozan, I am just a little warrior riding a horse in the countryside of Shinshu, but the master is an eminent monk who is famous all over the world and is respected by the world."

Heita Xiao just watched the two of them bragging here, and I, the Fujiwara clan, had no choice but to watch the show here. You Genjis are just talking to each other, it has nothing to do with me.

After blowing several sentences, we got to the point.

"If His Highness's eyes are very lively and his temperament is not ordinary, if you look at it as a humble monk, you will definitely be a master."

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Xiaopingta felt that it was right. Taro Yamauchi was definitely a smart boy. But something felt wrong in the second half of the sentence, the master's qualifications? Could it be that Taro Yamauchi can only be a daimyo in this life?

With the Yamauchi family's current family fortune of 150,000 yen, it is indeed a bit of a joke to dominate the world, but who knows what will happen in the future. A butterfly's wings can blow up a tornado. Xiaoping didn't believe that there would be no change in future history.

"His Royal Highness inherits the talents of Ying Zan and controls thousands of Pixiu groups. How can he only be the talents of the master? How can he not have the virtues of the world?"

Xiaopingtai didn't mind asking. Judging from historical performance, the great monk Kuaichuan Shaoxi was not a petty person. He was a real eminent monk. Even if he was slapped in the face by Xiaopingtai, he would not hold grudges.

"This must be Dr. Fujiwara Danmasa, who first became famous in Luoyang. Even a humble monk can hear and see his reputation for wisdom and strategy."

"Don't dare, don't dare, please teach me, Master." Mrs. Xiao Ping's name-calling made Sanhao and the other three people cool, but she still dared to use it to make excuses.

"If your highness is naturally a master of human beings, and if you can teach and assist him well, you may not be unable to achieve worldly virtues."

Okay! The co-author, the great monk, is waiting here!

Your Taro Yamauchi is indeed very talented. When he becomes a daimyo in the future, with the help of his retainers like you, not to mention expanding the territory, he will not have a big problem maintaining the territory and maintaining the country. But if you want to compete in the world in the future, you will definitely not be able to teach him well, so I, the great monk, will have to step in and teach him. Then Taro Yamauchi's future is infinitely promising, and he will be the most virtuous in the world.

As expected, none of the great monks who have made their mark have bad words. Xiao Pingtai will give you a thumbs up for this pretense.

"Master, please tell me in detail!" Mrs. Nagao (Suzhini) finally spoke. The previous temptations were over, and the meaty drama was about to begin. It was about her precious son, and her mother must be anxious.

"In today's troubled times of the Warring States Period, only force strives for strength. Every great name must fight immediately.

I, the humble monk, should teach you that your highness should be clear about rewards and punishments, be fair and selfless, punish severely, and reward with trust and kindness.

All major military and state affairs are determined by the destiny of the universe and the country. Use inducement, use force, and use both kindness and power.

Ten years of gatherings, ten years of lessons, ten years of battles, and peace in the world.

I think he is overbearing! "

Mrs. Nagao and Yamauchi Yoshiharu both nodded, this is indeed the path towards unification of the world. And there are indeed people who have chosen this path, and most of it has been effective.

Of course, he failed in the end. On June 1, the tenth year of Tensho's reign, a fire broke out and the Honnōji Temple was reduced to nothing.

All the great people in the world have been given away, leaving only a bunch of unsatisfactory descendants, living on the scraps of charity, which is so miserable.

"Master, is this all there is?" Xiao Pingtai didn't believe that this great monk only had this level of ability. Isn't this the same path used by King Qin to sweep away Liuhe? It's effective! But it may not last long!

"Oh? Danzheng seems to have other intentions?" Monk Kuaichuan Shaoxi clasped his hands and muttered "Nawu Bu Si Guang Tathagata", feeling that he had met a chess player who could play chess.

"Master, doesn't he know the secret method of practicing the king's way?"

Xiaopingtai leaned forward, his eyes changed from casual to sharp, looking directly at the great monk Kuaichuan Shaoxi, and even showed a hint of resistance and hostility, which was very compelling.

"There is no partiality or party, and the king's way is unreliable. ("Hong Fan") This is the supreme principle, and it is indeed the great road."

"With an unbearable heart and an intolerable government, you can govern the world in the palm of your hand. Therefore, you should be king through benevolent government, and you should not control it." ("Mencius")

"Therefore, when a wise ruler controls the people's property, they will be able to serve their parents with enough support, and feed their wives with enough support. They will be well-fed in happy years and avoid death in bad years."

"If the farming season is not violated, there will be an inexhaustible supply of grain; if the nets are not put into the pond, there will be an inexhaustible supply of fish and turtles; if the axes and saws are used in the mountains and forests in time, there will be an inexhaustible supply of wood. If there is an inexhaustible supply of grain and fish and turtles, and an inexhaustible supply of wood, then the people will have no regrets in life and death. Having no regrets in life and death is the beginning of the kingly way."

"When the granaries are full, people will know etiquette; when they have enough food and clothing, they will know honor and disgrace."

Odaira and the monk Kaikawa Shoki were racing against each other to test each other's understanding.

"I will teach Your Highness to be kind and love the people, encourage agriculture and mulberry, distinguish rewards and punishments clearly, and support the soldiers. I will achieve the kingly way with my own body, so that the people will be happy and sincerely convinced."

"The master's talent is ten times that of mine, and he will surely make my lord's kingly way a great success." Odaira bowed his head and saluted.

The monk's thoughts are exactly the same as those of Odaira now, as the saying goes, the kingship is mixed with the hegemony, and it leads to great achievements. Try to ensure the production and development of small-scale self-cultivating farmers, and ensure the source of the country's most important military and financial resources.

At the same time, on the premise of ensuring the existing self-cultivating farmers, continue to expand the number of self-cultivating farmers.

By continuously increasing strength internally, forming a natural advantage externally, and cooperating with a "just" war with a legitimate reason, continue to expand its own base, and finally dominate the world.

This teaches Yamauchi Taro from another direction that he needs to care about people's livelihood, restore production, and develop the economy. Teach him to be a wise monarch, but at the same time not a pedantic so-called benevolent monarch.

This is definitely not easy. Xiao Pingtai thought he didn't have this ability, but the monk agreed without hesitation.

Great monk!
