Once he had an ominous premonition, Zhu Biao could not hide his anxiety.
"Brother Su, what you mean is that even if Great Ming has a serious problem with land in the future, resulting in an increase in refugees, I, as the emperor, have nothing to worry about, right?"”
Su Yang nodded, but after thinking for a while, he shook his head.
"In any case, there should be nothing to worry about when you're in power, but it's hard to say after seven or eight generations of emperors.”
After seven or eight generations of emperors?
This was also the time Su Yang had said before that the number of officials in Great Ming would increase to 100,000!
"Then I wonder what kind of hidden dangers there will be after seven or eight generations of emperors? Emperor Hongwu's military system should be 100%, right?”
"Even if it's as Brother Su said, the farmers will lose a large number of land and the society will be in turmoil, as long as the military households don't have any problems, then Big Ming can kill all the unstable factors!”
Zhu Biao's words were firm and decisive, which made Su Yang take a few more glances at him.
"Yo, I didn't realize that Brother Huang's words are quite imposing!”
"If I didn't know you were a merchant, I would have thought you were a prince!”
Zhu Biao was a little embarrassed and did not reply. Zhu Tan 'er, who was at the side, pursed her lips and smiled.
He thought to himself, This person is much more noble than the average prince!
However, before the siblings could think of anything, they were interrupted by Su Yang.
"If Brother Huang is really a prince, you should think about what I said before.”
"The military system is quite good. I would also like to call it a genius idea.”
"The current Emperor must be hoping for the military system to protect the Zhu family for generations. After all, only with a gun in hand can one's heart be at ease.”
"But the system is good, but people are alive. Emperor Hongwu neglected a very important point, and that is human nature!”
Human nature?
Zhu Biao finally reacted.
"Brother Su, do you mean that the matter of land enclosure can actually happen in the army?" he asked with a trembling voice.”
Zhu Biao couldn't accept it even after he finished speaking. He found it unbelievable!
The army was the most disciplined place. Moreover, the land was distributed to the military households. That was a common property. Who would go to envelop the land?
"What can't happen again?" Su Yang said calmly.”
"The place where the border is cultivated is far from the capital region. Many times, information cannot be circulated quickly.”
"Encircling land is a trend. Once this trend starts, it will quickly sweep through the entire country.”
"Under this trend, many prestigious officers in the army will start to order their soldiers to farm for them and make them their slaves.”
"How can these low-level soldiers resist? You can't resist at all!"
"The soldiers couldn't resist and became tools for the officers to make money!”
"Under the guidance of this trend, the combat ability of our Great Ming Army soldiers will only continue to decline, becoming defeated in one strike!”
"Such an army can't even protect itself, how can it protect the entire country?”
"Therefore, if the wind of land enclosure is not contained, after at most seven or eight generations of emperors, the Ming army will lose its vitality and become the puppets of the officers.”
At this moment, not to mention Zhu Biao, even Zhu Tan 'er, a princess who did not participate in political affairs, was shocked by Su Yang's words.
If the farmers were the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, then the Ming army was the pillar of the Ming Dynasty!
The pillar was rotten and riddled with holes. This building was not far from collapsing!
Su Yang had not finished his sentence.
" Of course," he continued," the wind of land enclosure is prevalent. The border troops are not only facing the problem of declining combat effectiveness.”
"Most importantly, there will be a large number of deserters!”
When Zhu Biao heard this, he immediately wanted to refute and tell Su Yang that there would be no deserters in Da Ming!
But before he could say it, he knew that it was not impossible.
If a large number of low-level soldiers were enslaved by officers and became tools for private wealth.
They would definitely be exploited to the extreme. Not to mention daily training, these low-level soldiers would probably be half dead from working every day.
He had no land, no property, and he was tired to death every day. There was no hope in his life, so how could he not run away?
Zhu Biao even felt that he could run faster than these low-level soldiers!
Su Yang's words described the future. In Zhu Biao's eyes, it was simply the most terrifying story, comparable to the apocalypse!
……
Su Yang picked up the teacup and gulped down a mouthful of tea, feeling extremely comfortable.
At this moment, Zhu Biao and Zhu Tan 'er were sitting on pins and needles.
Both of them were descendants of the Great Ming Imperial Family, so they would naturally be worried about the future of the Great Ming.
Hearing Su Yang's words about the future being so serious, the two of them were not even in the mood to joke.
Zhu Tan 'er was the first to ask,"Husband, why aren't you worried about the future?"”
Su Yang was a little baffled by the question.
"Why should I be anxious? Wasn't this something that happened after seven or eight generations of emperors?”
"When the time comes, you and I will both be dead. Why should we care about this?”
"Then, husband, don't you care about our children and grandchildren?" Zhu Tan 'er asked.”
Facing this problem, Su Yang was even more clueless.
"My children and grandchildren have their own blessings. How can I care so much?"”
"Besides, I'm not the emperor. Why should I care about this?”
"Even Emperor Zhu isn't in a hurry. He's happily giving birth to a son in the palace every day.”
After Su Yang finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Tan 'er suspiciously.
Zhu Tan 'er's heart was pounding as she watched. She thought that she had been too anxious and exposed herself.
"Tan 'er, I find that you're a little strange today. In the past, you didn't pay attention to these questions, so why are you so eager to learn today?”
Zhu Tan 'er laughed awkwardly and said,"" This was because she heard what her husband said. Besides, you and I are people of Ming Dynasty after all. If the country is in trouble, we have to help, right?”
Su Yang laughed out loud.
"Tan 'er, don't make me laugh. I'm so full that I'll throw up from laughing.”
"Listen to what you're saying. The country is in trouble, and I'm helping out?”
"Who do I think I am? I'm willing to help, but would Emperor Zhu be willing to listen?”
Su Yang said as he spread his hands.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Biao and Zhu Taner said in unison,""I'm willing!"
After saying that, the two of them looked at each other, clearly a little embarrassed.
Su Yang sized up Zhu Biao and said,""Don't flatter me here. I'm a live-in son-in-law, you're a woman from a good family, and you're a traveling merchant. Is it necessary for the three of us to discuss national policies here?”
"Moreover, this is something that will happen after seven or eight generations of emperors. When the time comes, whether the country is destroyed or the city is destroyed, there will be future generations to worry about.”
After Su Yang finished speaking, he rested his hands on his arms and fell asleep.
Zhu Biao looked at Su Yang helplessly.
