Chapter: 26

Very simple and straightforward.

The meritorious generals will grow old sooner or later, and the probability of being a dog is much higher than that of a tiger.

Famous generals are all killed on the battlefield, not spoiled and raised in the Duke's mansion.

However, the gentry and civil servants are destined to pass on knowledge from generation to generation, annotate books from generation to generation, and accumulate more and more thick.

Zhu Di suddenly felt a strong sense of urgency.

He felt that if he didn't do something when he was in power, he could bring about fundamental changes to Daming.

Then Daming's future may be as Jiang Xinghuo said.

The two generations of his father Zhu Yuanzhang and his Zhu Di, who supported the honorable military officials against the gentry and civil officials, will gradually corrupt and degenerate, and eventually become stepping stones under the boots of civil officials.

But without the support of Xungui, the feudal clans were raised as pigs again.

Who can the later emperors of Ming Dynasty rely on?

Relatives? Or eunuch?

But what can I do?

Zhu Di suddenly remembered the word Jiang Xinghuo mentioned when he talked about "Three Lifelines" not long ago.

——Time limitations.

I seem to be in a fog of confusion, and I can only see a few steps in front of me. Even if I run as hard as I can, even if I try my best to imagine, I can't know what is outside the fog.

Maybe it's the underworld, maybe it's the blessed land of the cave.

And Jiang Xinghuo is the one who can stand high in the sky and tell him what will happen in the future from the perspective of overlooking everything.

On the other side of the wall, Zhu Gaoxu pondered for a while, and finally asked: "Since gentry civil servants will replace noble military officials sooner or later, is there any way to avoid it?"

"There is a way." Jiang Xinghuo nodded.

"All questions must go back to our original topic."

"The second solution to the clan support problem."

"With such a huge profit from overseas trade, relying on the emperor alone is doomed to death. And even if all the clans are tied up, that is, the power of the Ming royal family, it seems a bit insufficient."

"The only solution is for the emperor, clan, and nobles to contribute money together to carry out large-scale overseas trade with lucrative rewards."

"This is also the way to solve the problem of the 'involution' trend of farming civilization...I will also talk about this issue in "On the Fortune of Nations"."

Well, it doesn't matter if you can't finish the story. For Jiang Xinghuo, pointing out the country before he died and giving the ancients a little knowledge shock is just his pastime.

I didn't take the initiative to ask for death, and I didn't finish talking after I died, and it wasn't me who responded, so I dug a hole.

——It's "On the Fate of Nations" again!

Zhu Di remembered the name deeply.

"A metaphor for the image, the emperor as the supreme ruler, his clan, which is composed of kinship, and the honorable military officials, which are composed of meritorious service, are two concentric circles formed from the inside to the outside, and the emperor is the center point."

The meaning of the two concentric circles, as Jiang Xinghuo drew ◎ on the sand, Zhu Gaoxu understood.
