Great Ming National Teacher

Once there is the first one, there will be the second one. Li Yunya explained to Zhu Youjian while peeling the pistachios: "Actually, the Ming Dynasty is almost at the end of its days. Don't be angry. It's not your fault. It started from your grandfather Emperor Wanli From the beginning, it has already begun to decline. If Zhang Juzheng's reforms did not continue his life, it might have ended long ago. In the seven years since your brother Tianqi, the party in the court fought viciously, the local people were in dire straits, and the vitality of the country was greatly depleted. Waiting for you After coming to power, Jinxiu Mountains and Rivers are already devastated, and it will be difficult to recover."

No matter how stable Zhu Youjian is, after all, he was born on February 24th, 17. After New Year's Day and before the Spring Festival, according to the lunar calendar, it belongs to the 16th of the twelfth lunar month of the previous year. According to the modern Gregorian calendar, he is According to the calculation of the ancient lunar calendar, he is [-] years old. In fact, he is only [-] years old in terms of his full age.

Zhu Youjian was very disapproving of Brother Tianqi's letting the eunuchs take power over the years and turning the country into a miasma. Surely the country can be governed in an orderly manner, and Zhu Youxiao can also happily do his carpentry work.

Now that he finally has the opportunity to govern the world, he is very confident in governing the country well, and he will never let his ancestors' foundation be ruined in his own hands, so he was very upset after hearing Li Yunya's words: "Then tell me, Daming ended up doing it because what died?"

"According to my opinion, there are four reasons for the demise of Ming Dynasty." When he was a keyboard warrior on the Internet in the past, Li Yunya had the most intense confrontation with other keyboard warriors for several months, looking for evidence from each other. , Column numbers, you come and go, how the Ming Dynasty perished, he has long known, "The first is the invasion of foreign races in the Northeast, and the second is the name uprising in the Northwest."

"Peasant uprising?" Zhu Youjian felt that this word was very pungent.

Li Yunya reacted: "It's not an uprising, it's not an uprising, it's the rebellion of the rogues, yes, the rebellion of the rogues!" He quickly peeled a pistachio and sent it over, "The third is natural disasters. Starting next year, there will be continuous severe droughts in the north. From Shaanxi to Henan, disasters continue to occur."

Zhu Youjian frowned handsomely. He also noticed the first two questions Li Yunya said. The northwestern bandits have rebelled for many years, but the scale is not very large, and the foundation of Ming Dynasty cannot be shaken. Later Jin, but last year the chief Nurhachi died, and then Daming won the victory in Ningyuan, and the situation is developing in a good direction.

The emperor's brother has been in power for seven years and the country has not perished. I must have done better than him. It is impossible for me to die in my hands. However, if there is a natural disaster, it is hard to say.

Zhu Youjian clenched his fists, and a sense of injustice surged in his chest: "Could it be that this king will lose his morals in the future and be guilty of the heavens?"

"It has nothing to do with whether you are unvirtuous or not. Natural disasters are natural phenomena... Well, disasters are coming anyway. Even if you are a vegetarian every day and do good deeds, he will still come when it should come."

Zhu Youjian was dubious, and then asked: "Then what do you say is the fourth reason?"

"It's land annexation. The Ming Dynasty was established for more than 200 years, and the population was larger than when the country was founded. However, there is only so much land in the world. For one reason or another, the land of ordinary farmers has gone to the hands of landlords and gentry. These people own most of the land in the country. , but don’t have to pay taxes, farmers who lost their land and went bankrupt have no food to eat and can only rebel and become bandits, such a vicious circle...you eat.”

Li Yunya said that Zhu Youjian had never heard of it before. It was both novel and frightening. He quickly thought about the authenticity of these words and forgot to pick up the peeled pistachios. Li Yunya sent the nuts directly into the The other party's mouth.

Zhu Youjian was distracted, he took the nuts in his mouth, he bit them in his mouth and chewed them a few times before he realized it, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

Li Yunya enjoyed the job of feeding the handsome guy, and peeled another one and handed it to the other person's mouth. Zhu Youjian quickly took it with his hands.

After eating a handful of pistachios, Li Yunya looked at his watch, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon, and asked Zhu Youjian, "Have you had lunch yet?"

Zhu Youjian was a little embarrassed when he heard the words. The emperor's brother was seriously ill and difficult to treat. Wei Zhongxian controlled the inside and outside. The old eunuch has too many methods at his disposal, such as tampering with the imperial edict, or killing him in advance to make a drastic move. His heart is filled with these things. Zhu Youjian has long forgotten about Li Yunya's diet. In fact, he I also only ate some tea and snacks: "I will order someone to prepare a vegetarian meal for the real person."

"No, no, didn't you eat it too? It's just right, let's eat together, and I'll treat you to Malatang."

Li Yunya flipped his hand over, and there were two more plastic bags in his palm, exuding a hot aroma, tempting his index finger to twitch.

Delivering express delivery is a very hard job, leaving early and returning late every day, exposed to the wind and the sun, Li Yunya eats enough for the whole family by himself, and he does not plan to save money to buy a house and marry a wife, and he has always refused to treat himself badly in terms of food and clothing. I go to the provincial capital every once in a while, sweeping all kinds of gourmet snacks along the street, pancake fire barbecue cold noodles, iron plate squid finger cakes, roast chicken and roast duck fried stew, husband and wife lung slices fried pot stickers... buy a bunch at a time, Anyway, it won't expire in the space, and what it puts in will remain the same when it is taken out, and even a little bit of heat will not be reduced.

If you don't eat much and don't buy much, it has accumulated into several hills in the space over time.

Li Yunya carried two bags of Malatang and said with a smile: "This is the most famous Laochuan Ma's Malatang. It costs six yuan a bowl. It's super delicious!"

Li Yunya took out two small stainless steel basins, put Malatang in them, and took two convenient bamboo chopsticks, and handed Zhu Youjian a pair: "Hey, break it apart like this, and you can use it."

Zhu Youjian first looked at the stainless steel basin and flicked it with his fingers. It was indeed not something in the world. The plastic bag was also very special. It was as thin as paper, but also extremely soft and tough. No matter how you knead it, it would not break and it was completely transparent. , you can see the soup inside, the most important thing is that it is waterproof, there is no water or oil on the outside of the bag.

Look at the chopsticks again, they are pressed out of bamboo boards, and if you break them in half, they are not delicate enough, and there are thin strips on them.

Li Yunya saw that he was holding the chopsticks and said, "Aren't you used to this?" He took out a pair of plastic chopsticks from the space.

Zhu Youjian had never seen this one before. He weighed it with his hands, and it was much lighter than his own silver chopsticks, and it was easy to use.

Li Yunya carefully opened the plastic bag and put it on the edge of the basin: "Eat it, it's winter..." He remembered that it was not yet winter in the Ming Dynasty, "It's cold and cold, it's just right to eat this."

Zhu Youjian looked at the things in the bowl, it was red and smelled really good, he picked up a piece of tofu puffs and put it in his mouth, after chewing twice, a spicy taste spread in his mouth.

Peppers are native to Central and South America, brought back to Europe by Columbus, and introduced to China in the Ming Dynasty. At first, they were only used as ornamental plants, and they have not yet become popular until the Qianlong period.

It was the first time for Zhu Youjian to eat chili, which was different from the spiciness such as ginger and garlic in the past. He was educated since he was a child to be cautious anytime and anywhere, so his mouth was burning, his heart was turbulent, and his face was still smooth, chewing slowly. Swallowing it down, taking it easy, he picked up another section of Chrysanthemum chrysanthemum and ate it. Fortunately, Li Yunya can't eat spicy food very much, and all he bought were slightly spicy, which was within Zhu Youjian's tolerance.

Li Yunya didn't have the habit of eating without talking, so he kept asking, "How is it? Is it delicious? Isn't it delicious?"

Zhu Youjian didn't answer, but just nodded slightly. It was really delicious, especially appetizing. There were many things in it that he had never seen before, one by one, and there were often surprises.

After eating half a bowl, Li Yunya got hot, so he took off his down coat and only wore a sweater. Seeing that Zhu Youjian also saw sweat on his forehead, he took a pack of tissues, pulled out one and handed it over.

Zhu Youjian took the tissue and didn't know what it was for. He opened it completely and held it in his hand, looking at the hidden mark "Heart-to-Heart" on it.

"Don't just look at it, use it up quickly and continue eating." Li Yunya took out another big flower roll, which was very big, with a diameter of [-] centimeters, steamed white and soft, broke it in half, and handed it to Zhu Youjian Half, eat the other half by yourself.

Zhu Youjian looked at him stupidly: "Do you want me to write?"

"Writing? What words to write?" Li Yunya didn't have the consciousness of writing on the tissue at all.

Zhu Youjian said: "This paper is good, it is as white as snow, and it has a fragrance of flowers, but it may bleed when used for writing."

"It's not for writing. I'll send you something special for writing later." There were three boxes of printing paper in the mailbag that Li Yunya opened just now, and he could give one to Zhu Youjian. He took back the paper towel in Zhu Youjian's hand, Fold it in half and wipe the sweat on Zhu Youjian's forehead.

Zhu Youjian froze. In the past, only maids and eunuchs wiped his sweat for him, and he was used to serving him, but it was the first time that someone outside these two groups did this, especially this person who had just known each other for a long time. .

After eating Mala Tang, Zhu Youjian asked someone to come in to clean up, and another maid came in with mouthwash and a washbasin. Thanks to him, Li Yunya also enjoyed it, but it was awkward for someone to wash his hands with a copper basin .

After washing up, Zhu Youjian asked everyone to go out, and continued to ask Li Yunya about the future state affairs of Ming Dynasty in the room. He probably felt more familiar than before. With the funds for disaster relief, we will transfer the Liaodong army and horses into the pass."

"It's useless, your disaster relief money was cut in half before it left the capital, and then cut in half when it went to the province, and distributed by the officials and gentry in the local area, and finally fell into the hands of the victims without even a dime."

Zhu Youjian was unconvinced: "I sent a patrol censor..."

"The inspector censor followed me for greed."

"Impossible! The Ming Dynasty has been supporting scholars for more than two hundred years. Could it be that you can't even find a clean and honest official?"

"Yes, but they were all run away by corrupt officials. You are sitting in the Forbidden City, how do you know who is clear and who is corrupt?"

"I sent Jin Yiwei..."

"Jin Yiwei is also greedy."

"I sent Dongchang..."

"Dongchang is even more greedy. You said something in the morning, and everyone outside in the afternoon knows."
