The two were chatting, and Xiao Chenzi and Xiao Mawang came over from the gate. After leaving the gate, Xiao Mawang ran a few steps and knelt down in front of Zhu Zhi: "Prince, what wind has blown you? You have been named King of Liao."

Although Zhu Zhi knew that his predecessor had a good relationship with the little Majesty, he had no feelings for him. However, he quickly made him feel enthusiastic and said, "You kid dares to make fun of me, let me see how I treat you." The little Majesty in front of him was wearing a long orchid gown, and he was so handsome. He was as tall as Chu Zhi. Even in modern times, he was a handsome guy who was fascinated by thousands of girls.

The little horse king jumped up and hid aside and said, "Your Highness and Brother Chu join forces, I can't beat him." After saying that, he burst into laughter. It seems that although he was defeated by Chu Zhi just now, it seems that the relationship between the two is OK, at least there will be no strife due to the competition. In fact, the men in the military camp are relatively straightforward, at least there will not be so many literati.

Seeing this, Zhu Zhi said, "Go and drink."

The little pony said: "Where are you going, or an old place?"

Zhu Zhi didn't know where the old place was, so he had to vaguely say: "Okay, it's the old place."

The little pony king said: "Then your highness will go first, I will go and pick up two new friends, and then come."

Zhu Zhi said: "What new friend?"

The little Pony King made a face: "Your Highness will know then."

Zhu Zhi asked Xiao Chenzi to lead the way in front. He and Chu Zhi rode their horses and followed behind freely. After walking for half an hour, they arrived at the edge of Mochou Lake. It turned out that this old place was a restaurant called "Zuichun Tower".

The waiter seemed to have been familiar with the guests in front of him, so he sang a promise to lead the three of them to the private room upstairs. This place faces the sparkling lake, the sunset is setting, and the scenery is pleasant.

After a while, the little Ma Wang brought the two of them to carry the curtains. Strangely, the two of them who came were the same height, the same appearance, and the same clothes, and they turned out to be twins!?

The little horse king introduced to the two: "This is His Highness Zhu Zhi, the King of Liao."

The two knelt down and bowed, "I have seen Your Highness Qiansui," "I have seen Your Highness Qiansui," "I have seen Your Highness Qiansui," Hehe Qu You? Qu Yuan? Interesting and interesting.

Zhu Zhi found that the difference between the two was that Qu You's skin was darker, while Qu Yuan's skin was whiter, and both looked pretty. Seeing the two, they couldn't help but fall in love with each other. He quickly asked them to get up.

The little Ma Wang introduced: "The two young masters Qu are the sons of the deputy general Qu Neng. They have been dating with Ju for many days and have had a great time talking. I took this opportunity to introduce you to your highness."

Zhu Zhi felt that things were really coincidental. Why did they meet acquaintances today? Qu Neng is also a person recorded in "History of Ming Dynasty". However, Qu Neng and his son followed Li Jinglong to attack Beiping. They were almost going to break the door with his son, Li Jinglong, and were jealous of the head coach Li Jinglong, and ordered Hou's army to advance together, resulting in the defeat of the attack on Beiping. Later, he entered Baigouhe from Jinglong and fought with Yan's army. Neng and his son fought and were invincible. Finally, when the army was about to collapse, he led his officers and soldiers into the Yan army formation and shouted: "Destroy Yan." He killed hundreds of enemy generals, and in the end, the father and son were defeated in the Yan army formation.

Sometimes Zhu Zhi really didn't understand. It was said that the Southern Army had no good generals, so he could not stop the Yan Army's tiger and wolf army. Count these people, Ping An, Sheng Yong, Tie Xuan, Qu Neng, father and son, Chu Zhi, Wang Guan, were brave or wise, all of whom were good at fighting, but the Southern Army threw away millions of people and finally made Zhu Di usurp the country.

Can Qu take them to the battle to death with the twin brothers in front of him? That's really a pity.

The little Ma Wang continued to introduce: "A hero in the Qu family. The eldest son Qu Qing is currently in the army with his father and has also been promoted to the deputy family for his military merits. Qu You's name is Gongneng, and his martial arts skills are not inferior to me. He is currently serving as the general banner of the right guard of the government army. The youngest son of the Qu family, named Yunfei, passed the Yingtian Prefecture Country Examination last year and was studying in the Imperial Academy, preparing for the examination for the next year. These two brothers can be said to be both civil and military."

Zhu Zhi said, "Haha, it's rare to gather with so many young heroes. Come on, come on, and you will never return without getting drunk today." As he said that, the little Ma Wang introduced Chu Zhi to the Qu brothers again.

As soon as the banquet started, Zhu Zhi ordered Xiao Chenzi to go outside to serve him. Xiao Chenzi was worried about Zhu Zhi's safety, but when he thought about it, everyone here had excellent martial arts skills. If they couldn't handle the scene, it would be useless for him to go down to serve him.

Zhu Zhi was a good at drinking in the future. He came up and frequently persuaded him to drink. Seeing that the prince was so easy-going, everyone quickly became familiar with each other, and they talked happily for a while.

After drinking for a while, Zhu Zhi picked up the wine glass and walked to the window. At this time, the moon was already in the sky outside. He thought for a while and suddenly recited: "I was angry and rushed to the crown, and the rain stopped on the railing.

Looking up, whistling to the sky, with a strong heart.

Thirty fame and fortune, dust and earth,

Eight thousand miles of clouds and moon.

Don’t wait for the young man to turn white and be sad.

The Jingkang shame is still not yet gone;

When will the hatred of the minister be destroyed?

Driving a long cart to break through the Helan Mountains.

Ambition to eat the meat of the barbarians,

I laughed and talked about thirsty drinking the blood of the Huns.

Wait until we get rid of the old mountains and rivers from scratch and go to the sky.”

The following people heard the prince suddenly became interested in chanting lyrics, and kept drinking and listening to themselves. The Ming Dynasty drove away the Mongolian Tartars by relying on the slogan of "expelling the Tartars", so Yue Fei was very respected by the court.

After Zhu Zhi finished chanting, several young people couldn't help but stay on the spot. They didn't expect that the prince would chant such a heavy "Manjianghong" at this time. After a while, the little horse king said: "Why did the prince suddenly chant the words of Yue Wumu?"

Zhu Zhi sighed and said, "Alas, I was named King of Liao and I am going to guard the border for the country. Unfortunately, most of my great country in Liaodong is not under my Ming Dynasty. I just feel that the burden on my shoulders is very heavy. I feel that the Jingkang shame has not yet been eliminated. When will I stop being threatened by the Tartars? My Ming people will never suffer any troubles." Zhu Zhi deliberately made his tone heavier.

Qu Yuan's voice came from behind: "Prince, my martial arts skills in the Ming Dynasty are in full swing. The Beiyuan no longer has the power to fight back. There are ringworm diseases around Liaodong. Why should I worry too much?" This is obviously a mediocre opinion. Zhu Zhi turned around and looked at Qu Yuan, trying to teach him a lesson with contempt.

But suddenly I saw a trace of undetectable strangeness between this person's eyebrows, unlike an ignorant and fearless person. Zhu Zhi deliberately stared at Qu Yuan's eyes. He looked at each other ignorantly at first, but he couldn't bear it for a moment and used the excuse to find wine to move to another place.

There was a door, and this guy seemed to be trying on himself. Zhu Zhi said: "Oh, according to Yun Fei, I, Daming, have you rested at ease?"

Qu Yuan still said in a slow tone: "At least the northern border will no longer be the world of the Tartars for a hundred years."

Zhu Zhi said: "No, this Tartar was beaten away, but what about that Tartar?"

As soon as these words came out, Qu Yuan's raised wine glass suddenly stopped and slowly lowered his words as if he was considering Zhu Zhi's words.

Zhu Zhi also said: "There were four barbarians in the Zhou Dynasty. Northern Di who violated our Central Plains; Emperor Gaozu of Han unified China and the Xiongnu surrounded Baideng; Cao Mengde pursued the two Yuans and fought against Wuhuan and Monan; Eight Kings invaded Jin Shi, and the Five Barbarians in the Central Plains were invaded by China, Xianbei, Jie, Qiang, and Di. You finished the stage. The Li family promoted the Tang Dynasty and fought with the Turks endlessly. During the Five Dynasties, various Hu tribes in chaos; Shi Jingtang sold the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and the Khitan, which made the Song Dynasty weak all the way; The Khitan in the Later Jin Dynasty made the land of Huaibei return to Huti; Wait for the Northern Yuan to destroy Song Cheng

He was the first Hu court to unify China. Fortunately, his father called out to the high ground and drove out the Tartars to return the Han world. Yun Fei, looking at the history of China from ancient times to the present, it has been a history of conflict between the Han and the Hu people. After the Hu people, we will appear, and it is always endless. Now the Northern Yuan Dynasty has indeed been driven to the north of the desert. However, can Brother Yun Fei guarantee that no other nation will rise again from our unintentional places? Do Han people always have to go through such a cycle of vicious circles?"

These words were like a thunderbolt in the blue sky, making the whole family quiet so that a needle fell to the ground could be heard. Indeed, if such a dangerous statement in the prosperous era came from an ordinary person and entered Zhu Hongwu's ears, it would be possible to lose his head. But at this time, he said it from a prince, and was still so deafening.

The first person to react was Qu Yuan, who was raising the verbal talk. He raised his glass and said, "I didn't expect that the prince could see much further than me. Yuan Menglang, respect the prince for a cup."

Zhu Zhi was not polite, so he picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and said, "I wonder what Yun Fei has to teach this?" It is obvious that you just tested Zhu Zhi's skills, and now Zhu Zhi also wants to see how much weight you have in your stomach.

Qu Yuan seemed to sort out his thoughts: "Although Yuan has no official position, he dare not forget to share the worries of the country for a moment. Throughout history, the war in the northern border has always restrained most of the dynasty. Now, dozens of garrisons have stationed 300,000 troops from thousands of miles north of my border, but it is far from enough to rely on these hundreds of thousands of people to defend the land of thousands of miles. Although the emperor has far-sighted and established the military household garrison system to solve the difficulties of the military logistics to a certain extent, but..." He suddenly stopped as he said.

Zhu Zhi saw his thoughts and waved his hand and said, "There are all my brothers here, and there are my people guarding them outside the door, but it's okay."

Qu Yuancai said: "Prince forgive me. Last year, I went to Miyun Guard with my father. There were 7,300 officers and soldiers in the entire Guard, with more than 19,000 families. Although each household had 50 acres of land, the land close to the north of the desert was far from comparable to the land in the south of the Yangtze River. The imperial court required military households to produce 12 stones for each 50 acres of self-paid and pay 12 stones, which was not so easy. Moreover, it was all the regulations of Hongwu in the third year. Now the number of households is far more than 10,000 households, but the land is still so much. How can we support so many people? Most of our Ming Dynasty taxes come from Jiangnan, and it is thousands of miles away from the northern border. In the future, the pressure on supply on the front line will become heavier and heavier. This will definitely become a hidden worry in our garrison system in the future. Furthermore, let the military households train farming for half a year to work on farming. How can we train elite soldiers? In the long run, there will probably be a group of farmers, but a few powerful troops."

Zhu Zhi looked at the scholar who was less than 20 years old in front of him in surprise. His views on future generations came from the summary of history. However, the scholar in front of him saw many shortcomings in the garrison system. Although there were historical books that initially showed that the military camp reached 89 million mu and the total output reached 23 million stones of grain, if these numbers were true, there were only two possibilities. First, almost all soldiers went to farm and did not need to guard the border; second, military households were all fools. At that time, the rent of farmers was 1/10, while military households were 1/2.

Although military households have some treasure money as "salaries" every year, as these pieces of paper without reserve support depreciates and later there is no reward, the profession of soldiers becomes increasingly unattractive.

In fact, the numbers in the Minghui Dian are fake, there is not so much land at all, nor so much output at all. Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's idea is a castle in the air, and he built these numbers on the high sense of moral responsibility of soldiers. But more and more people are unwilling to be a "peasant" who has to pay 1/2 of the land rent and is ready to go to the battlefield at any time! Countless people who escaped and hired people to serve on their behalf, so that later only a thousand military guards could wear armor to fight. The ward system collapsed within 100 years of the Ming Dynasty.

Although the scholar in front of him did not look at the problem so thoroughly, he had already discovered the unreasonable part, and what is more valuable is that he dared to raise it.

Zhu Zhi further said: "Then how to solve the problems that Brother Yun Fei said?"

Qu Yuan seemed confident and said: "There are three solutions. First, let the current land farmer become real farmers, no longer bear military service, and increase land production; second, communicate the transportation of the north and south so that the production in the south of the Yangtze River can be transported to the northern border unimpeded; third, establish an army that does not engage in farming, and the cost will be provided by the court."

Zhu Zhi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed. Relying on the Ming Dynasty's annual agricultural tax of 30 million shi, less than 5 million taels of silver, can you support your suggestions? But then I thought about it, it was not easy for Qu Yuan, who was only 18 years old. His proposal of transporting grain from the south and establishing a real professional army was very advanced. If he proposed to encourage industry and commerce and sailing, Zhu Zhi really would think that he was also from the future.

This student is quick-witted, not only high-level, not diligently studying, knows how to go deep into the grassroots to discover problems, and has a little training and training, and has a limitless future. It seems that he is lucky. Today, all of them are the heroes of this empire for a while. Let’s find a way to bring them all to Liaodong. The vitality of young people may not be unable to achieve a career.

Seeing that everyone was very interested in this topic, Zhu Zhi immediately talked about it and expressed his ideas about the border areas. These ideas that interested Zhu Yuanzhang could not help but aroused the interest of everyone here.

Zhu Zhi finally said: "Yunfei's professional army has a very good idea, but such an army needs a lot of wealth support. Only by cooperating with measures such as encouraging industry and commerce, increasing maritime trade, etc., can we find the source of wealth to support the professional army."

After hearing Zhu Zhi’s talk, the atmosphere immediately became lively. Several generals wanted to ride on horseback and kill the enemy outside the border to make achievements.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Zhu Zhi swept around everyone with a serious look on his face and said, "My father named me the King of Liao, but he felt that the burden was on his shoulders and did not dare to slack off at all. Today I met you and I only felt that the future was terrifying. I hope you will have more contacts in the future and share the worries of the country."

All four of them were smart people. They knew that the King of Liao was willing to recruit him. The four of them looked at each other and knelt down and bowed together: "I wish to obey the King of Liao's orders."
