Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

Will the Ming Dynasty have unlimited wealth?

More importantly, this proved that Zhu Yunhuan was not a person who only cared about power as he had previously thought.

The ruler of the future in the next few decades will be an extremely wise and powerful ruler, with a keen insight into the court and the people's hearts, with vision, means, and decisiveness, and will be proficient in both strategic planning and military killing...

……

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was hesitant.

Beyond the curtain, Zhu Yunhuan looked at the young eunuch confidently and said, "Don't worry about this matter. I have complete control over it. Otherwise, if we join forces with those Huaixi people, we will only end up repeating the mistakes of the previous Yuan Dynasty."

Ma Sanbao nodded, not quite understanding.

Perhaps he didn't quite understand the real meaning of Zhu Yunhuan's words.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunhuan asked with great interest, "When talking about the previous Yuan Dynasty, most people know the saying 'the previous dynasty fell due to tyranny,' but this is a general concept. Do you know the most fundamental reason?"

In the eyes of others, Ma Sanbao is just an insignificant eunuch.

But Zhu Yunhuan knew.

Zheng He, who made seven voyages to the West, was no ordinary man.

It’s just that Ma Sanbao’s knowledge, thinking and pattern have not yet been opened up.

As long as he can realize his potential, in the future, whether it is to check and balance the government in the court or to work further overseas, Ma Sanbao will be someone he absolutely needs and is completely worthy of his reliance.

So Zhu Yunhuan was also willing to help him open this door.

It's boring to just wait for others.

Zhu Yunhuan took the opportunity to start chatting.

Ma Sanbao shook his head: "This is something that scholars like to talk about. I don't understand it."

Zhu Yunhuan raised his eyebrows and continued:

"At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, heavy taxes and levies weighed heavily on the people, making it difficult for them to raise their heads. But if we really delve into the reasons behind this..."

"The nobles and gentry of the previous Yuan Dynasty, driven by selfish interests, either plundered or exploited natural and man-made disasters to profit from the national crisis, or schemed to expand their holdings. The agricultural taxes collected by the court decreased year by year, but the court's financial needs only increased. Where did the money come from?"

Ma Sanbao showed a thoughtful look, thinking carefully about Zhu Yunhuan's words, and immediately responded: "Common people?"

Zhu Yunhuan nodded. "So, the taxes burdening the people became heavier and heavier, until, in the end, the imperial court's tax collection even passed on to the people's unborn descendants... The people couldn't even keep a handful of rice. This is what we call tyranny."

Speaking of it.

Zhu Yunhuan stopped.

Ma Sanbao fell into deep thought.

……

"That's right! Land annexation! That's the root cause!"

Zhu Yuanzhang on the other side of the curtain nodded in approval.

There was resentment in his eyes.

——He has experienced every step of that era, and even now, he still remembers the harsh rule of the Yuan Dynasty vividly!

"So no matter what, we cannot allow those arrogant and powerful generals to show any sign of annexing the land! Even if the world says that Zhu Yuanzhang is cruel and ruthless, we must kill them one by one!"

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help feeling recognized.

then.

He then raised his eyes and looked at Zhu Yunhuan again.

The corners of his mouth curved up:

"He knows, he knows everything! He knows these things like a mirror in his mind!"

"He... truly has a way of turning stone into gold!"

Now Zhu Yuanzhang has completely believed what Zhu Yunhuan said about his incredible ability to "turn stone into gold".

Land annexation led to a decline in tax revenue, which gradually worsened the tyranny of the former Yuan Dynasty, forcing the people step by step into the abyss, and then there came the chaotic times when people all over the world rose up in rebellion.

He didn't understand these things at first.

It was also achieved by conquering the world step by step, and then slowly summarizing and understanding it by reading history books and summarizing the experiences and lessons of past dynasties.
