On the other side.
After leaving the Duke of Wei Residence.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was still a little sad.
Zhu Zheng didn't say anything. He just gripped Zhu Yuanzhang's hand tightly, as if he wanted to transfer some strength.
Zhu Yuanzhang came back to his senses.
Looking at Zhu Zheng beside him, he shook his head and sighed,
"It's a pity that Tiande's body is useless.
Otherwise, he would be the most suitable person to teach you about military formations.
He is our Han Xin, who has never met a worthy opponent in his life!!”
Although he said that.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang's goal had been achieved, and he was still very satisfied.
Xu Yungong was worthy of being put in an important position.，
He could definitely become Zhu Zheng's helper in the future.
With the Xu family around, Zhu Zheng could be considered to have a foundation in the army.
He had consolidated his foundation and gained some confidence.
However, just the Xu family was not enough.
These thoughts flashed through Zhu Yuanzhang's mind, and his gaze was unfathomable.
After that, he held Zhu Zheng's hand and slowly walked forward.
He smiled and asked casually,
"Lin 'er, let me ask you something.
If you have someone like Xu Da under you in the future…
Or Han Xin, a proud and arrogant general.
How should I control it?"
Zhu Zheng thought for a moment and said,
"Grandfather taught me that the way to control people is nothing more than using both kindness and might!!”
"Not bad!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded his head in relief.
Then, he instructed in a solemn tone,
"However, knowing is easier said than done.
However, to memorize the principles, one had to be able to read them, understand them, and do them!!”
"Grandpa will teach you how to use both kindness and might.
The difficult part was to grasp the appropriate amount of strength!!
Whether it was excessive kindness or excessive might, it would cause a backlash.
How to perfectly grasp the delicate balance in this?
That was the difference between heroes and mediocre people.
It depends on your wisdom
Of course, there's also experience!"
"Also, the most important thing.
You have to understand that ambitious people don't necessarily have the ability.
However, most capable people would be filled with ambition. This was normal.
The key is that you have to be vigilant at all times.
Never let him have the ability to match his ambition.
Otherwise, regardless of whether the other party was loyal or not.
It would bring you a threat, or even a great disaster!!
Only by doing this can you control those talented and intelligent people as you wish!!
And if in the future, you find yourself unable to control it,"
At this point, Old Zhu's eyes were filled with sharpness as he said decisively,
"Kill him!"
"Don't be indecisive. You have to be hard-hearted and ruthless.
This was the most important thing in doing great things!”
Zhu Zheng nodded seriously and said,
"Grandpa, don't worry. I'll remember it!!”
"Okay, our Lin 'er is the smartest. Don't worry!!”
Zhu Yuanzhang stroked Zhu Zheng's little head in satisfaction. Then, he smiled and waved his hand.
"Let's go. It's getting late.
Let's take a stroll along the Qinhuai River and return to the palace!!”
"Yes!"
The two of them followed the Qinhuai River and headed for the Imperial City.
The Qin Huai River was indeed the most prosperous place in Great Ming's Yingtian Prefecture.
At this moment, it was almost dusk.
However, the area near the Qinhuai River was still packed with people.
Painted boat, flute and drum, Lin Palace, Buddhist temple, green tiles and vermilion
What a romantic air.
Players, strongmen, fishermen, merchants
People of all identities gathered here.
It looked messy but orderly.
Especially near a dock.
Thousands of people were gathered here and were busy.
The porters who moved goods, the merchants who commanded and shouted, the petty officials who maintained order.
There were even some foreigners with strange appearances!!
Seeing this…
Zhu Zheng's eyes immediately lit up.
He had a brilliant idea almost instantly.
Then, he immediately pretended to be curious and asked,
"Grandpa, who are these people?？”
Zhu Yuanzhang looked over and explained with a smile,"
"These are all overseas merchants who came to our Ming Dynasty to do business."
Although the Ming Dynasty was currently implementing a ban on the sea.
However, the people of Linhai were prohibited from trading privately.
However, these foreign merchants were allowed to come to the capital of Ming Dynasty to do business.
Zhu Zheng nodded and asked,"
"Then where are they from?
Why does he look different from us?？”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. He shook his head in confusion.
"We don't know either.
Who knew how these barbarians looked like bears?
It's similar to that wild boar."
"Then where are they from? Are they all from the same country?？”
"Uh, I don't know."
"Did they come from the other side of the sea?？”
"I don't know."
"What are the places they are in?？”
"I don't know."
Zhu Zheng blinked his big eyes.
Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was confused by the question, he said with a look of disdain,
"Grandpa, why don't you know anything?？”
"This…"
Zhu Yuanzhang was embarrassed.
It was rare for her to feel embarrassed in front of her grandson.
He coughed lightly and waved his hand nonchalantly.
"Those places are all remote and desolate. They are completely useless.
It can't be compared to our Ming Dynasty, so there's no need to know!!”
A crafty look flashed across Zhu Zheng's eyes when he heard this.
Then, he lectured her sternly,
"Grandfather is wrong.
Grandpa once taught me not to look down on anyone.
Why did he still have this problem now?？”
"Besides, how can there be a useless place in this world?？
In the past, during the Zhou Dynasty, the Qin Country was also regarded as a remote and remote place by the Central Plains.
But in the end, he unified the world!
If Grandfather were to act like this, wouldn't he be looking at the sky from the bottom of a well and being arrogant?？”
