Qin Zhan sat at the side and said with a smile,
"Then Old Master, why don't you discuss with the villagers about not wanting the land in the north?”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened.
"How can that be! That's the land left behind by our ancestors!"
"We can't give an inch to those bastards!”
"Then move your own house there!”
As soon as Qin Zhan finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned on the spot.
Then, Qin Zhan sat up from the recliner and picked up his wine glass as he continued,
"Old Master, you have so many sons. When the children grow up in the future, they will have to build houses, right?”
"Besides, you're the village chief. There will definitely be people looking for you in the village.”
"Why don't you just move your house to the north?”
"First of all, you have many sons. Secondly, after you move to the north, when the villagers look for you, they will have to go north.”
"Moreover, there's a lot of room for development in the north. In a few years, you'll see.”
"What's a piece of land? Now that your village is strong, they naturally wouldn't dare to be impudent.”
"But can you guarantee that your village can always suppress their village? When the time comes, the land in the north of the village will be decided by the people of your village.!”
"Only when the people of your village live there can this land be considered your village's forever!”
Qin Zhan was actually planning something else.
This was because he was teaching in the southwest of China. This mountain village was so remote that it was probably almost past the border.
Qin Zhan wanted to trick Old Huang into moving to the north. The entire village would also develop towards the north in the future.
As long as this village developed towards the north.
One day, this village would be discovered by the outside world.
Thinking of this, Qin Zhan could not help but become more energetic.
"Old Master, haven't you always respected the Emperor of Great Ming?”
"Didn't Big Ming move the capital directly in the end?”
"Big Ming moved the capital?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but get excited.
"That's right. Zhu Yuanzhang's son moved.”
"And there are many benefits to moving the capital. Think about it, the capital camp has to pay every month, right? The border troops also have to be paid."
"But after moving the capital, it will be different. The capital camp will be directly stationed at the border.”
"We only need to raise the capital camp. The capital camp is both a border army and a guardian of the capital.”
"In the end, he even left behind the good name of the Son of Heaven guarding the national gate and the king dying for the country.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened as he listened.
After the Ming Dynasty implemented the military household system, the court had indeed reduced a large amount of military expenses, but the border troops and Jinling's capital camp had always been supported by the court.
There was no other reason.
These two places simply did not have enough land to support these hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and these two places could not be without soldiers.
Thus, it could only be the Ministry of Revenue that paid for it, and this amount of money was almost the largest expenditure in Great Ming's annual income!
"Mister Qin, but during the Great Ming Dynasty, didn't the north also not have enough to support the capital and needed to transfer grain from Jiangnan?”
Qin Zhan shook his head and said,
"Everything has its pros and cons. Doing things is nothing more than weighing the pros and cons. On the whole, the benefits of moving the capital of Great Ming definitely outweigh the disadvantages!”
"Old Master, think about it. What kind of place is Jiangnan? That was the headquarters of the great clans! If the imperial court was placed in this place, wouldn't it be infiltrated by these aristocrats?”
"It guarantees the autonomy of the Imperial Court, and this is only the smallest benefit!”
"Old Master, please change your way of thinking. If the Ming Dynasty didn't move the capital, would the Han people of later generations still have the so-called two capitals and thirteen provinces or the eighteen provinces of the Han land?!”
Later on, the media said that Zhu Di moved the capital for his own selfish desires. Qin Zhan never believed it at all.
First of all, the matter of moving the capital was set by Zhu Yuanzhang before his death. Even Crown Prince Zhu Biao fell ill when he went to inspect the location of the capital.
Secondly, in ancient times, Jinling could not radiate to the entire world.
Most importantly, the world during the Ming Dynasty was no longer like the world during the Qin Emperor, Han Wu, Tang Zong, and Song Zu!
What was Zhu Yuanzhang's greatest achievement?
In this battle, the Central Plains was restored for two hundred years, Youyan for four hundred years, and Hexi for six hundred years!
At that time, the Central Plains had already fallen into the hands of the Tartars for two hundred years! You Yan had been tainted with the stench of blood for 400 years, and the land west of the river that the valiant old Qin had fought to the death to seize had fallen into the hands of the Hu people in the north for 600 years!
Even if these three places weren't emptied out by the Yuan Dynasty like the historical records said, could the remaining people still be considered Han?
If not for the Ming Dynasty moving the capital, would there still be so many Han people moving to the Central Plains and even Youyan?
If it weren't for the Han people's prosperity in these three places during the 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, would these three places still be the land of the Han people in the Qing Dynasty?
Wouldn't the Qing Dynasty directly build Liutiao Pass to the Huai River?!
Just from this point alone, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di were definitely considered men who had descended from the heavens!
