I have a chat group.

Chapter 85 The Problem between Ming Dynasty and Qin Dynasty
"By the way, what are we doing here? Just chatting? It seems like there's nothing to talk about here."

Sakaski saw that everyone was chatting there and he didn't know what to do, so he could only sit there with his arms folded across his chest, cross-legged and looking at everyone else. He felt that it was a waste of time here. He might as well use this time to fight pirates or train those newcomers he was training in the Doldrums.

"There's really nothing to talk about. I don't even know what's fun here."

Zhu Houzhao was also eating the grapes in his hand out of boredom. He had already finished the bunch of grapes, but there was still a pile of food in front of him.

"Where did you get all this food? I didn't see you bring any food in. Is it allowed to bring food in here?"

Zhu Jianshen picked up a bunch of grapes and started eating them. He found that they were no different from the grapes sold outside, except that they were sweeter.

"I didn't bring these grapes in. I bought them with trading points. Everything here can be bought with trading points. Don't you know that? Trading points are omnipotent. As long as you have enough trading points, you can buy everything. Just like in my world, I used trading points to build a modern army, and they all use semi-automatic rifles."

Zhu Houzhao was the first person to understand the role of trading points. Although he joined late, his world was also a relatively high-end world. There were all kinds of martial arts secrets in his world that were no worse than those in other worlds. He also had a large number of treasures, such as Tianxiang Doukou.

Although this thing cannot be grown in Zhu Houzhao's world, it does not mean that there is no way to grow it. As long as there are enough trading points, these Tianxiang cardamoms can be confirmed. Therefore, in Zhu Houzhao's world, things like Tianxiang cardamom can be grown. Anyway, this thing can also be sold in the chat group.

Anything can be sold and bought in the chat group as long as there are enough trading points. Zhu Houzhao has a clear understanding of this, so he has been using the chat group to conduct a large number of transactions. However, he does not conduct any transactions with other group members, but directly trades with the chat group.

Because he found that when trading with the chat group, he could get many things that the group members could not provide.

It's like he practiced the art of absorbing energy. Even if these things were handed over to group members, the most they could do was to modify the art so that he could practice it better and reduce some of the side effects of the art, but there was no way for him to ignore these side effects.

However, in the chat group, 2000 transaction points can be used to purify his body, which can eliminate all toxic and harmful wastes in the body.

This kind of purification, when applied to the energy-absorbing technique, can help him offset the negative effects of absorbing other people's internal energy, and can allow him to almost completely absorb a person's energy.

This allowed Zhu Houzhao to achieve the effect of practicing the Vajra Indestructible Divine Art even if he did not learn it, so he did not need to worry about leaving the word "gong" on his hands.

You have to know that in the eyes of Zhu Wushi and all the civil and military officials in the court, Zhu Houzhao is just a playful kid who doesn't have any great abilities.

And all this is what Zhu Houzhao needs, because Zhu Houzhao needs enough time to make everyone ignore him, so that Zhu Houzhao can accumulate enough power to control his country!

The chat groups and transaction points are the means that enable Zhu Houzhao to achieve all this, and they are the main means.

"Don't you know that this stuff is hard to collect? If you use the trading points like this, you won't have enough in the future. Don't you think about the future?"

Zhu Jianshen felt that his grandson was too careless and that now was the time to accumulate trading points and use them later when our chat group had more functions.

"Grandfather, the chat group's message shows that we should use it someday. What's the point of accumulating so much? The chat group has only opened these functions now. Do we have to accumulate trading points and wait for better functions to be opened in the future? There will be so many futures. We shouldn't think about the future. We should think about the present. We should think about making ourselves strong enough now, so that we can control our own country in a short time, so that we can expand outward."

Zhu Houzhao was very clear about how his development should be like. He was not the kind of person who would accumulate transaction points in chat groups. He was the kind of person who lived for the moment.

"Don't you have control over your own country yet? The moment we became emperors, we should have known more about our own country. Oh, I forgot, that unlucky son left too many traps for you."

Zhu Jianshen was a little puzzled at first, because in his opinion, controlling a country was the most basic thing. As the Son of Heaven, he should manage his own country well, just like he could completely play with the cabinet and the Shangshu like wooden and clay sculptures.

So he completely forgot how big a hole his son had dug for his grandson.

"Grandfather, I am not you. You are a natural king, but I cannot do that. I have a lot of troubles on my side. Even if I want to reform the system of discussing crimes and paying silver that my father left behind, I cannot do it. That's why I have been indulging my uncle, right? I want him to clean up the court, but this guy is brainless!"

Zhu Houzhao was so angry when he talked about these things. He had already seen the best in the world and was full of complaints about his uncle, Tiedan Shenhou. He had so many opportunities to take action but he just didn't do it. No one knew what he was doing!
Zhu Houzhao felt that he had clearly let Hai go and given Tiedan Shenhou a lot of opportunities, but this man did nothing and was still there playing some kind of struggle with Cao Zhengchun. He was really incompetent to the extreme.

"Negotiation of punishment silver? This is really a trap. I have no idea what that kid is thinking. Zhu Youtang looked very outstanding when he was a child. How did he become such a person? Doesn't he know that the death penalty must not be abolished?"

Zhu Jianshen didn't know what to say. His son Zhu Youtang was obviously very outstanding when he was young, so why did he become so bad now?

"If you don't change your father's policies for three years after his death, won't it be OK after three years?"

Zhu Jianshen smiled and gave his grandson an idea.

"How can you say that? Shouldn't it be that when the father is alive, we observe his aspirations; when the father is dead, we observe his actions; if one does not change his father's ways for three years, then he can be considered filial, right?"

Although Zhu Houzhao was recorded in history books as not liking reading, he was actually well-read. After all, his father was a typical Confucian sage who came to power easily, so he was not careless in the teachings of Confucian classics.

In terms of Confucianism, Zhu Houzhao is not necessarily worse than those great Confucian scholars.

"It's all the same. Those are all Confucius' words about filial piety. As long as you follow them, there will be no problem. If someone says you are doing it wrong, just throw this in their face. If anyone dares to stop you, just say they are not following the words of the saint and deal with them accordingly."

Zhu Jianshen had many ways of dealing with his ministers. In his time, no minister could compete with him. All the ministers were his playthings, and he could play with them however he wanted.

Beside them, Zhu Youjian kept recording these things. These things were very useful to him. After all, as a prince who had not received orthodox imperial education, he always had some problems in handling state affairs.

Ying Zheng frowned as he listened to their words. He didn't care at all about what the world would be like in the future, because he knew very well that his dynasty would perish in the second generation. What he had to do now was to change this fact, and now this fact had almost been changed.

He granted part of the homeland of the six kingdoms to his sons, asking them to go there with their men to govern. Places outside the Central Plains, such as the Baiyue and grasslands, were granted to ministers and clan relatives who had made contributions.

Because he was very clear that the fall of his dynasty was never caused by the rebellion of the people, but by the ministers and relatives within his own country who wanted to divide the land.

Even Ying Zheng saw a lot of things from historical clues, such as a major split within the Qin Dynasty after his death.

The Qin army led by Wang Li and Zhang Han must have experienced very violent conflicts, otherwise so many problems would not have arisen.

Even the last King Ziying of Qin had problems. This guy was not just a simple member of the Qin royal family, but someone who had fought on the battlefield and made military achievements. He could have taken action earlier and got rid of Zhao Gao, but he insisted on waiting until Zhao Gao got rid of Qin II Hu Hai before taking action. This made Ying Zheng discover that there was dissatisfaction with him within the Qin royal family, and they even wanted to get rid of his own bloodline.

He could even imagine that Hu Hai was actually controlled by the combined forces of Li Si and the royal family, but Li Si had never played tricks on the royal family.

Because Li Si did not think about the royal family and wanted to divide the land, so from the very beginning Li Si was the smart guy who was played by others.

After thinking these things through, Ying Zheng began the enfeoffment early on. He enfeoffed his adult sons to the homeland of the six kingdoms, and enfeoffed those royal family members and ministers who had made military achievements to the land of Baiyue and grasslands, playing a big game of Zhou's enfeoffment.

However, Ying Zheng still added methods such as generals inheriting titles and paying bribes to seize marquisates, as well as the system of the Enfeoffment Order.

Just now he was discussing the pros and cons of these systems with Gao Yuliang.
