Ming Dynasty Strategy Notes [Transmigration Book]

Zhu Chun nodded, and said, "Then what about governing Shu through culture? You didn't propose a specific strategy."

"This is something to discuss with the prince." Xia Ziling's ability is limited, and some things really can't be handled by himself. "Three Kingdoms Zhuge Kongming ruled Shu with culture, and there are still many legacy of the Three Kingdoms in Shu."

"In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Wei Gao ruled Shu with culture, and Shu Zhong became the most prosperous cultural center in the country after Chang'an for a while, and talented scholars and celebrities came here. It is a pity that the Yuan Dynasty has trampled on it, and now Shu Zhong has withered talents."

"The prince is a talented poet in the court, even in the whole country. If he really comes to Sichuan, he should regain the legacy of the Three Kingdoms and the prosperous Tang Dynasty."

Zhu Chun snorted softly, "Zhuge Kongming ruled Shu, all he wanted was to civilize the barbarians. Although Wei Gao's great cultural achievements in Shu were remarkable, it was mainly thanks to the power of Xue Tao. It was legal for the government to run brothels in the Tang Dynasty. As for the matter, could it be that you asked me to open a brothel in Chengdu as well?"

Zhu Chun is familiar with history books, and has dabbled in both official and unofficial histories. If it is said that during the Three Kingdoms period, the folk customs in Shu were not yet civilized, Zhuge Liang’s main task was to educate the people, and it was enough to be able to read and understand; Cultural centers are not so easy.Wei Gao ruled Shu for 21 years. In addition to defeating the Tubo army many times and stabilizing the border, he also developed Chengdu into a cultural center.

Although Wei Gao's meritorious service is so great that it is difficult for him to be the right one among the officials of Shu in all dynasties and dynasties, there is one figure who cannot be brought up on the stage in the essence of his cultural governance of Shu——Xue Tao, who has been enrolled in Yue Ji.Most of the literati are arty, but in fact, in addition to doing the shady things, there are more literati gatherings, reciting poems, and Pomeranians laughing in Goulan.

The reason why the Tang Dynasty became the cultural heyday of ancient my country is also inextricably related to its open folk customs. At that time, the government even openly opened brothels.Zhu Yuanzhang's ban on officials whoring | prostitutes is good from a general perspective, but it also hinders cultural exchanges among literati to a certain extent.Just imagine a noisy place in a restaurant, where eating and drinking is okay, but if you want to recite poems, enjoy singing and dancing, and make fun of beauties, it's not very emotional.

At that time, Xue Tao was very popular, with a slightly vigorous beauty, coupled with a talent that made celebrities dormant, for a while, officials and scholars all over the country were proud to associate with her. In her contact list, Bai Juyi, Zhang Ji, Wang Jian, Liu Yuxi, Du Mu, Zhang Hu, Yuan Zhen and other poetic leaders are among them.

But Wei Gao's behavior of attracting talents with beauties back then would not work in the Ming Dynasty.As the king of Shu, if Zhu Chun dared to openly open a brothel, Zhu Yuanzhang might depose him as a commoner in a fit of anger.

"It's... of course it's impossible to open a brothel," Xia Ziling chuckled, "So I haven't thought about this one yet, why don't the prince do it for me."

Zhu Chun pursed her thin lips slightly, and suddenly thought of the Lanyue Pavilion that I went to that day, but... it's better not to tell Xia Ziling about that kind of place, lest he suddenly have a whim and ask himself to open an elephant house.

So, he simply stopped dwelling on this point, but changed the subject: "Then what does this mean for allocating a stone of food to learned men every month?"

"This one, of course, allows you, my lord, to attract more celebrities to work for you."

Zhu Chunjun raised his eyebrows, "This king is only worth ten thousand stones. If thousands of people turn to this king, wouldn't this king's salary be beyond his means?"

"Hehe," Xia Ziling smiled awkwardly, "That shouldn't be the case. I am now in a time when everything is waiting to be done and talents are in short supply. If there are more than a thousand learned people to join me, you, my lord, are almost like the fourth son of the Warring States Period." .”

"Hmph," Zhu Chun snorted softly, "The four sons of the Warring States Period, such as Lord Xinling and Lord Mengchang, I think they were also poored by three thousand diners."

"Then... the prince can set some rules. After all, whether you are judged as a doctor or not is up to you to check."

"Yeah." Zhu Chun nodded, and closed the scroll in his hand.In fact, Xia Ziling drafted these ten articles with great care, and made suggestions based on the real situation in Shu.Especially the reform of taxation, as well as road construction and dredging of the Three Gorges to Yingtian River, I think the emperor will be happy to see it.I think it took him a lot of effort to write it.

Thinking of this, Zhu Chun looked at Xia Ziling's radiant eyes through the light, and suddenly his heart beat two beats faster.

Just now at the door, he saw Mu Sheng putting on a cloak for him. The tenderness in Mu Sheng's eyes was something he had never seen before. For some reason, he suddenly felt a little unhappy, and his mind went to that dirty place.Could it be that the relationship between Xia Ziling and Mu Sheng is unusual?

But he thought about it again, Mu Sheng and himself are brothers and sisters, he is an upright gentleman, and he definitely can't do things that are obscene｜playing with men.As for Xia Ziling, although he was a little thinner, no matter whether he was in the army or in the officialdom, he was also a strong man, so how could he be compared with the young lady in the Xianggu Pavilion.

Thinking of it this way, Zhu Chun suddenly felt that he was judging the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and quickly withdrew his thoughts of running wild like a wild horse.

But looking at Xia Ziling at this time, and thinking of his figure who was so energetic to deal with various matters recently, Zhu Chun suddenly felt a little uneasy.If he is a vassal king, then the civil servant Wangfu Changshi and the military officer Wangfu Yiwei are only the top five ranks, which are already the highest positions he can promise.And Xia Ziling is now the fifth rank, and he has a bright future if he stays in the rear army.

"If...one day I had to quit, would you choose to follow me or Mu Sheng?" The thought in my heart was inadvertently asked.

Xia Ziling replied without hesitation: "Of course I follow the prince."

Being so sure made Zhu Chun even more disbelieving, and felt that Xia Ziling was just perfunctory.

"Oh? Why? In the rear army, you can continue to make military exploits and rise to the top. What future is there for me as a vassal king?"

"The prince is kind to his ministers." Xia Ziling lowered his eyes, concealing a little guilty conscience, and the reasons behind the secrets cannot be known to the King of Shu for the time being. "Besides, according to the astrology, the prince is not destined to be an ordinary prince."

Zhu Chun smiled contemptuously, suddenly feeling a little disheartened.It's that damn stargazing again, so the reason why Xia Ziling is so loyal to him is that, to put it bluntly, he still thinks that he will not stop at a vassal king.But... what's wrong with that?There are several people who are not greedy for power and wealth.

"That's it for today, I'm tired, you and I have to think about this "Ten Strategies for Governing Shu", and what you submit to the emperor for reading must be an impeccable and outstanding strategy." The two of them, It's better to be a monarch and minister honestly.

"Yes."

Xia Ziling sent the King of Shu away, and suddenly felt that his back seemed to be a little colder than when he came.
