Hey, it seems that although the emperor is young and has been confined to the palace for a long time, he does not know all the truth!
Of course, Gao Pragmatism also contributed to this. Without Gao Pragmatism, the traitor of the civil service group, how could the emperor know so many inside stories?
However, to say that he is a traitor depends on what he is referring to. Generally speaking, he still protects the interests of the civil servant group. He just believes that the civil servant group should also "give up" part of the profits to form a new balance.
After all, the current situation is too problematic.
If others don't know how serious the consequences of this problem will be, how can he still not know?
As he said in his own policy statement, "The biggest problem in the world today is poverty: poor officials will lead to corruption, poor people will lead to thieves, poor military will lead to trouble, and poor countries will be weak."
However, not to mention that the introduction of high-yield crops in the Americas is still at the stage of finding seeds. Even if seeds are found, there are still problems with adaptability, selective breeding and other problems. Even if these problems are solved, Ming Dynasty
In such a large feudal empire, it doesn't take time to promote new crops? Do you think you are a red dynasty? With a red-headed document, you can follow it in minutes regardless of whether you understand it or not?
What international joke are you kidding? If we had this administrative efficiency, Ming Dynasty might not even be dead!
Based on a highly pragmatic estimate, taking advantage of the official Little Ice Age in the north starting in the late Wanli period and the continuous natural disasters, it may take about ten years to basically spread the three major crops in the Americas in the north. That would be a thank-you to Amitabha.
good results.
As for the South, which was not greatly affected by the Little Ice Age, there are pragmatic and even pessimistic guesses that it may take 30 to 50 years to be promoted.
After all, people in this era have a strong sense of conservatism, and it is best not to be underestimated by modern people.
Anyway, he thinks, don’t think about such good things as “something changes every year, and changes drastically in three years”, thinking it’s as simple as playing a game?
You can move quickly and don't expect too high. This is a highly pragmatic approach.
Governing a big country is like cooking a small dish. If the fire is too high, the food will become mushy, just as if the food is too hot, the eggs will be broken.
Therefore, with Zhu Yijun's words, although Gao Pragmatic affirmed his sobriety, he also expressed pity for his radicalness.
Zhu Yijun clearly thinks it's not feasible, so why does Gao Pragmatic still think he's radical?
Because it was precisely because of Zhu Yijun's radical mentality that he felt it was not feasible. He probably regarded these problems as one problem and hoped to solve it all at once, so he found it difficult and had no way of starting.
Of course there is no way to start! No one can solve the three major problems of vassal kings, clans, distinguished relatives, and scholars and wealthy businessmen at once. Even if he is asked to be a pragmatic emperor, he can't do it.
So don’t think about these three issues and think that one-size-fits-all approach will only lead to hara-kiri.
It must be done separately, step by step, step by step, forming a situation like boiling a frog in warm water. At each step, people must be at the level of "Although it is a little uncomfortable, it won't be a big deal if you tolerate it", rather than "This is what the fuck?"
It’s going to cost me my life, so I might as well do the opposite.”
"Your Majesty, of course it is not possible to issue an edict to repeal it immediately, but this does not mean that the Emperor is really powerless about it." Gao Pingshi said seriously: "It just takes a little longer. Just take it slowly. Your Majesty has plenty of time."
Of course Zhu Yijun should have time. Historically, he was the longest reigning emperor in the Ming Dynasty.
Gao Jingshi said this very calmly, and even Zhu Yijun gradually calmed down after seeing him. He looked at Gao Jingshi and frowned: "What are your ideas?"
Gao Pragmatic smiled happily and said: "I have a way, but it's not really clever. It's just eight words: break the whole into parts, make it easy first and then make it difficult."
"Breaking the whole into parts, first easy and then difficult?" Zhu Yijun muttered to himself and asked: "What do you mean by this?"
Gao pragmatically said: "The so-called breaking it down into parts means that we should not deal with these three things as one thing. We must separate them and deal with them one by one, so that the pressure we face will be much less."
"Oh!" Zhu Yijun suddenly realized it and felt that it made sense. His interest suddenly rose and he asked again: "So what if it is easy first and then difficult?"
Gao pragmatically said: "First easy and then difficult, that is, we first pick out the one with the least trouble and least resistance among these three things and do it. Even after picking it out, we have to continue to break it into parts, first easy and then difficult.
Think about it, divide this matter into several aspects, and start with the simplest one."
Zhu Yijun thought for a while and said hesitantly: "This does not seem to be in line with the idea of using troops. As we said when discussing history before, Xiang Yu defeated the main force of the Qin army in Julu in one fell swoop and settled the overall situation against Qin, and then he became the overlord.
…But why are you doing the opposite now?”
Gao pragmatic smiled and said: "Since the emperor remembers what happened when we discussed history, he must also remember that I once said that during the period of conquering the country, the system was created, and anything can be done boldly, just like painting on a blank paper, every grass and tree is mine.
Creation can be sketched according to the beautiful scenery in your mind; but during the Shoujiangshan period, the ancestral system has been established. Even though some aspects must be changed due to the changes of time and world, and need to be slightly modified or continued to be improved, there is no way to overthrow it all at once.
Let’s start over. So we need to be gentle and quick..."
Gao pragmatically said, paused slightly, and continued: "Taking the period that the emperor just gave an example, if we do this, it is like the emperor of the Han Dynasty taking Hanzhong as his foundation, first defining the Three Qin Dynasties, laying a solid foundation, and then cutting off Wei one by one.
With the wings of the overlords such as Dai, Zhao, Yan, and Qi, we formed an overall advantage, and then we finally decided the winner with the overlord of Western Chu."
"Oh, I understand." Zhu Yijun's eyes lit up: "This is the principle of 'accumulating small wins into big wins' that you said before, right?"
Gao Pragmatic raised his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise."
"It's not wise to speak of it, but I can still accept advice with an open mind." Zhu Yijun didn't know if he was being modest or bragging. He rubbed his hands excitedly and asked: "Then which of these three things do you think is easier?
a little?"
Gao pragmatic pondered and looked around. Zhu Yijun's heart moved and he ordered Chen Ju and Cao Ke: "You guys stand back and don't let anyone get close to you."
Chen Ju had nothing to say, so he bowed and backed away, but Cao Ke was stunned for a moment and looked at Gao pragmatically.
Gao Pingshi's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly showed off his acting skills. He frowned and waved his hand: "The emperor has already spoken, what do you want me to do? Go back and watch."
Unexpectedly, Gao Pragmatic was too cautious. Zhu Yijun, an emperor who was not in charge of the government, had not fully developed the idea of "sacred and inviolable". He didn't feel anything unusual. He just watched them leave and immediately asked: "Okay, okay."
