"Of course I remember." Zhu Zaiyao said: "Most of the people in this world who call themselves people are just excuses. The real people work hard between the ridges of the fields, hoping that the family can barely survive. When they are suffering from disasters, they only want to be able to survive. They are the real people. However, the people in the temple, or in the Qingyi of the Scholars, claiming to be the people in their name, but in fact they are a group of stupid insects! They suck the people's wealth and ointment, and do not do production. They read some books and quote scriptures. They are all dressed in luxury and fed in the name of the people, but in fact they seek personal gain for themselves! If I want to impart benevolent policies, I want to teach the real people to be able to eat and wear well, rather than bribing these gentry in the name of the people."

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but smile, and then said, "But, Your Majesty cannot be too much or too much. The people in the world are actually the most powerful. They cannot read the text and write, and they can only walk within ten miles. What they think of is controlled by the gentry. This is also the means by which those gentry use this to threaten the court. Therefore, Your Majesty must do benevolent government, and must truly regard the people who are completely unable to make decisions."

Zhu Zaiyao quickly interjected: "What Yafu said is that the son minister wants to rely on merchants?"

Ye Chunqiu glanced at Zhu Zaiyao and said meaningfully: "Improving the status of merchants is to check and balance the gentry, and Your Majesty also needs to prevent merchants, and they may not be reliable. In fact, where is there any ready-made template for implementing benevolent government in the world? What is the allusion of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors who rule the world? In fact, this is a long-standing thing. Things in the world are impermanent. There has never been a template in this world that can truly rule the world. The laws of ancestors are not feasible. Is the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors reliable?

Live is the one outside the pass, which relies entirely on merchants. If you put it inside the pass, you may not be reliable. People are lazy. Many people do not seek to be down-to-earth and dead, but they always hope that the ancestors can solve all problems, as if they only need a pattern and do it step by step, and they can get it done once and for all. This is the case with the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and the ancestors’ methods are actually the same. In fact, the real key point in this world lies in people.”

Zhu Zaiyao was silent for a moment, then thought for a while, and said, "Did Yafu think Emperor Taizu is ridiculous, right? After reading Taizu's record, what Emperor Taizu wanted to do the most was to create a law of ancestors, so he issued a great edict, formulated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, established a cabinet, established three departments in the local government, and set up a branch in the ministry to serve as a young official to be included in the Censorate. He hoped that his descendants would follow the law of the ancestors and follow the steps, believing that in this way, the world would be peaceful forever."

Ye Chunqiu laughed. This was not something that could be joked about. Although he did not hide anything in front of Zhu Zaiyao and criticized the law of his ancestors, Zhu Zaiyao actually broke the window paper without hesitation.

Ye Chunqiu hurriedly shook his head and denied: "Your Majesty, I have not criticized Taizu."

Zhu Zaiyao said: "It's obviously Taizu."

Ye Chunqiu had no choice but to say: "What I said was Qin Shihuang. He thought that as long as the counties were deposed, the same carriages and the same writings were the same, the same line, the same writings would be in line for generations."

Zhu Zaiyao couldn't help but turn his head and said suspiciously: "Kerchen still thinks that this is Taizu."

Ye Chunqiu couldn't help but have a headache. This new emperor is sometimes more unbearable than his father.

"I won't argue about this." Ye Chunqiu said with a dry smile: "Anyway, it would be better if Your Majesty was willing to listen to some of my principles."

Zhu Zaiyao then changed the subject, but at this moment he remembered something and said, "Why can't you learn outside the pass?"

Yes, this is the problem in Zhu Zaiyao's heart.

There are indeed examples outside the pass. Since this is the case, the new policies are implemented within the pass. If there is today, everything depends on merchants and regards merchants as the foundation of the founding of Lu. Then the new policies inside the pass should be learned from the direction outside the pass.

Ye Chunqiu was surprised when Zhu Zaiyao suddenly asked this, but this question was not difficult to answer. Ye Chunqiu immediately said: "Because the situation outside the pass is different from that inside the pass. Although it is because of the fact that the merchants are completely dependent on merchants, the merchants are trying their best to earn wealth. Because of this, the whole country of Lu has been stable, but His Majesty think about it, who is the largest merchant outside the pass?"

When asked about this, it was obviously not for Zhu Zaiyao to answer, but Ye Chunqiu was just to strengthen this focus.

Ye Chunqiu said directly: "I am the minister."

After a smile, Ye Chunqiu analyzed the relationship here for Zhu Zaiyao: "The Ye family has a money house and a railway. The wealth they own is the sum of the ten major commercial banks outside the pass, which is incomparable. Therefore, the State of Lu established a country through business. There are two interests of the Ye family, one is commercial interests, and the other is the stability and prosperity of the State of Lu. The interests of these two are one, so the Ye family's edict coincides with the merchants. Only in this way can the country be stable; there is no conflict between the business and the Ye family. However, there is no such thing as the inner world.

At the same time, once the inner commerce is completely based on business, after decades, a group of chaebols took advantage of the situation. They were rich enough to compete with the country. At that time, it would be difficult to control. What is the royal family pursuing? It is the gradual peace of the world, the country, and the foundation. But what chaebols pursued is profit. Sometimes they can coexist, and sometimes they are contradictory. At that time, who can check and balance these chaebols? In this way, these chaebols with greater energy will become today's gentry again?"

"Gentlemen are beneficial to the country, but also harm the country; the same is true for chaebols, especially when chaebols cannot contain them. Not to mention what the royal family should do, the people may not be able to get benefits from it. Once they are difficult to control, the two are incompatible and turmoil will inevitably be born. At that time, I don't know how many people will die. So... Because the situation inside and outside the pass is completely different, Your Majesty should be more careful, walking on thin ice, and you must not have any elixirs. Just take it and you can rest assured."

After listening to Ye Chunqiu's words seriously, Zhu Zaiyao was stunned for a moment and said, "So what should I do?"

Ye Chunqiu spread his hands and smiled, "I don't know. To be honest, I really don't know at all. This road can only be carried out by His Majesty himself and will be successful, and it will last for thousands of years, but it will not be successful..."

Ye Chunqiu did not continue to say anything, but Zhu Zaiyao said in frustration: "If this fails, I'm afraid I'll invite Yafu into the pass again."
