The way to stabilize the country and rule the world?
Liu Bai narrowed his eyes when he heard Zhu Biao's question.
At first, he was just a little suspicious, but now, he was almost certain of one thing.
That was, there should be a secret agent of the Embroidered Uniform Guards by his side!
What was the scariest thing about Da Ming?
Was it Emperor Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang?
Or the future Emperor Yongle Zhu Di?
Neither...
For an ordinary official like Liu Bai, the most terrifying thing was the Jinyiwei intelligence organization established by Zhu Yuanzhang.
It was all-pervasive, all-encompassing…
When he first heard that the Crown Prince was suddenly coming to Fengyang County, he was shocked.
Liu Bai hadn't thought about this yet.
However, when he saw Zhu Biao's overly friendly attitude towards him, he was shocked.
Liu Bai already had some guesses in his heart.
Zhu Biao's last question had basically shattered his guess.
There should be a secret agent of the Embroidered Uniform Guards by his side.
Otherwise, how could a small county magistrate like him rely on the little taxes he handed over?
Was it enough for a crown prince to treat him like this?
The Crown Prince of Great Ming was not so useless that he would be intimidated by such a small amount of taxes, right?
'If there are secret agents of the Embroidered Uniform Guards by my side, how far do they know?'
Zhu Biao saw that Liu Bai was deep in thought and thought that he had been too rash. This was the first time they met, and he was already close to becoming a disciple.
This didn't seem appropriate for either Yu Li or Yu Qing.
Therefore, he quickly continued.
"Mister Liu, please don't misunderstand. I don't have any intention of threatening you. If you don't want to, I'll take it that Zhu Biao is presumptuous!”
At this moment, Zhu Biao had even changed his address to 'mister.'
The word 'mister' was not something that could be casually called.
In the worldview of scholars, only those who were more knowledgeable and capable than themselves could be called Mr.
Obviously, in Zhu Biao's consciousness.
Liu Bai was worthy of being called 'mister' by him.
"Crown Prince, you don't have to be like this. I'm just a little curious. What do you know about me? If I remember correctly, this is our first meeting, right? Or rather, the second time…"
The first time they met, to be precise, was when Liu Bai was the top student in high school.
However, Liu Bai didn't even lift his head the entire time.
He simply didn't know what Zhu Biao looked like at that time.
" Fengyang City. After clearing out all the local tyrants and those who had maliciously annexed the land with lightning-fast methods, after seven assassinations and three riots, the land was taken over. All of them were collected under the name of the county government and then rented to the people who had no land to farm according to the public tax.”
"Sir, is this the truth?"
Liu Bai heard Zhu Biao talking about what he did when he first came to Fengyang.
He didn't avoid it and nodded his head directly.
"Biao really wants to know. If…If Biao wants to imitate Sir's move and take all the land of the Ming Dynasty into the hands of the court, and no one can buy or sell the land privately, and can only rent the land that the court has already rented, Sir, do you think it can be carried out?”
After Zhu Biao said this, he was shocked.
Liu Bai suddenly laughed.
And he was smiling very happily.
"Crown Prince, your idea is really not ordinary bold ah!”
Zhu Biao laughed when he heard Liu Bai's words.
Because he knew that he had guessed correctly.
"It seems that when you first came to Fengyang, you were already showing your ability! It was a pity that he had only recently seen through these things!”
"When you came to Fengyang, you took over the land and suffered many assassinations and riots along the way. The Great Ming Empire would also welcome the counterattack of many forces!”
"In the second year, after you settled the internal affairs, everyone knew that you started to attract foreign businessmen to Fengyang. Through the merchants, you directly pulled the originally poor Fengyang up step by step.”
"But in fact, the first thing you did was to build the roads around Fengyang. After these roads were repaired, the roads from the surrounding counties to Fengyang became smooth. "After the construction of the factory, whether it's the import of materials or the export of finished products, everything has become extremely smooth. Therefore, many merchants are willing to come to Fengyang…"
"Back then, you gathered the surrounding refugees. In fact, these people were one of the opportunities for the development of Fengyang City. With the addition of tens of thousands of refugees, Fengyang City had more labor force. What these people brought to Fengyang City was not only the production ability, but also the consumption ability!”
"And the reason why those merchants can take root in Fengyang is because they are controlled by the technology in your hands. Once they rebelled against Fengyang, the wealth that they had painstakingly built up would be swallowed up by the new merchants that you supported.”
"The source of everything. Actually, after going around in circles, one would realize that the starting point was you, but the final point was still you!”
"Therefore, I think that you must have a great talent in your heart!”
"I have no grand ambitions, but I hope that the people of the world can live and work in peace! So, please teach me!"
As Zhu Biao spoke, he stood up and bowed to Liu Bai.
However, this time, Liu Bai had no intention of stopping him.
