Chapter 300 The final arrangement, feudal philosophers!
"I'm giving money to the people, but you don't really think it's a big deal, right?" Murong Fu asked with a half-smile.

"Father." Murong Ming did not dare to lie, but he did not dare to express his true thoughts either.

Murong Fu said calmly, "I taught you a long time ago that the state is a tool of class rule. In fact, it doesn't matter whether it gives money or not, whether it loves the people or not. As long as the state can collect money and distribute it to the army, officials, the Ming Cult, the Imperial Guard, the East Factory, the West Factory, and the Wushu Association, there will be no chaos in the world. The people are also easy to fool. As long as they have enough food to eat, they will not rebel."

The army, officials, the Ming Cult, the Wushu Association, and the three major intelligence agencies are the backbone of the Ming Empire's rule over the world.

It is true that as long as these groups can enjoy the dividends of the empire, the empire will be as solid as a rock.

After all, destroying the Qing Dynasty was not an easy task, let alone destroying the Ming Empire, which could now suck blood from the world.

"Since your Majesty understands this principle, why does he treat the people so well?" Murong Ming asked curiously.

Murong Fu smiled and said, "Because I am happy!"

Murong Ming was stunned.

Murong Fu said calmly: "The emperors in the past were just spokespersons for the interests of the ruling class and had to consider the interests of the ruling class. Although I am using my own small treasury, many people in the empire are unhappy because they regard all the money in the world as their own."

"But I am different as an emperor. I can truly win the hearts of thousands of people with my own heart. I don't care what those people think. As long as I am happy, the world must operate according to my will."

"I am the state! My will is the will of the state!"

"I like to benefit the people and make the empire prosperous, so the empire must submit to my will. Whoever dares to go against my will, I will not only take off his official hat, but also execute his entire family! Even if I have to kill 10,000, 100,000, or 1 million people, I won't even blink an eye!"

"So, Ming'er, you don't have to consider the opinions of those officials and nobles when you govern the country. You only need to run the country according to my will. If anyone dares to be dissatisfied, I will personally remove these thorns for you."

"As long as I am satisfied, you can be a good emperor. If I am not satisfied, it will be useless for you to please the whole world!"

Now that they were in private and the family was gathered together, Murong Fu told the truth directly.

In fact, he does not need the support of the general public at all.

But at the same time, he did not need the support of the Ming ruling class.

Murong Fu played a decisive role in the founding of the Ming Dynasty. There was no Han Xin or Xiao He, but Murong Fu was the pillar of the country.

These meritorious officials and nobles were only led by Murong Fu. Without Murong Fu, they would have been powerless to overthrow the Song Dynasty.

They couldn't even do anything to the Jurchens.

Therefore, Murong Fu didn't need to please these people at all.

So this world is run according to Murong Fu's own preferences, but Murong Fu just happens to like to help the weak.

To put it bluntly, it was just to satisfy Murong Fu's own pleasure, which was the same reason why Emperor Tianqi liked to do carpentry work.

Did Emperor Tianqi really lack furniture?
Are you really short of the money from selling furniture?
There is no shortage of course.

Emperor Tianqi did carpentry work purely out of his personal hobby. Carpentry made him happy.

This is the characteristic of men. Men always have some special little hobbies that have nothing to do with interests, but just for their own happiness.

It can only be said that Murong Fu has some special psychology of Paradox players, and some sentiments of helping the world when he is successful.

Therefore, the core will of the entire Ming Dynasty is Murong Fu’s own will, and everything else is false.

Including the subsequent emperors of the Ming Dynasty, they only needed to satisfy Murong Fu to secure the throne.

Otherwise, no matter how many people support you, it will be useless.

"I understand, Father. I will definitely not let you down," said Murong Ming.

Murong Ming thought that since Murong Fu liked to play the role of a wise ruler, he would just imitate his father. After all, the Ming royal family exploited the whole world and had no shortage of money.

"Ming'er, as long as you remember these words 'people-oriented, no tossing', you can be a good emperor." Murong Fu said, and then laughed, "There is a theory of entropy increase in physics, which is actually also in line with a dynasty. Since ancient times, dynasties have been well-ordered when they were founded, and the subjects of the world have performed their duties. Even a foolish Zhao Guangyi would quickly lead the world into a period of prosperity. However, as interest groups are deeply rooted and intertwined, the entire system will experience entropy increase and become chaotic and disorderly. The new emperor is often a king who maintains the status quo, not a son of heaven on horseback. He always needs the support of these interest groups and cannot touch them. This is the failure of Wang Anshi's reform."

"Over time, the court became more and more chaotic. The rich had fields stretching for miles, while the poor had no place to stand. The population of the world increased rapidly, and finally chaos occurred and dynasties changed. If the Ming Dynasty wanted to last for thousands of years, it would be impossible to expect a set of ancestral laws to restrain everyone!"

Murong Ming also studied the history of past dynasties and took it as a warning. He knew that Murong Fu was telling the truth, so he couldn't help but ask, "Does father have any solution?"

"The laws of our ancestors cannot restrain them, but our ancestors can! I am their ancestor!" Murong Fu said, "Tomorrow, I will set up a reward-for-good and punishment-for-evil mechanism on the Island of Heroes. Every certain period, I will send out reward-for-good and punishment-for-evil messengers to clean up these deeply rooted interest groups. I am not afraid of them. Killing them is like killing pigs and dogs!"

"These interest groups now have some affection for me, so I will turn a blind eye. As for the interest groups in the future, I don't even know them, so I will be ruthless and merciless when I take action!"

"If you don't clean your house, it will never be clean! I and Xiake Island will be the humble cleaners of the Ming Empire, helping the Ming Empire clean up all kinds of dirt!"

Murong Ming flattered, "To bear the disgrace of the country is to be the master of the country, to bear the misfortune of the country is to be the king of the world. Father is indeed the king of the world!"

After a pause, Murong Ming continued, "People call my father the Human Emperor, the Divine Emperor, and the Emperor of all mankind. Even though my father has abdicated, the title of Grand Emperor is not worthy of him. I want to give my father the title of Human Emperor. In addition, I will continue to use my father's Hongwu reign title to show that I am just continuing my father's principles and policies."

"Haha! My son really knows how to be an emperor!" Murong Fu laughed.

Then, Murong Fu looked at his other sons and said, "Since you will inherit the throne tomorrow, you can also be enfeoffed to establish your own country. This is called division of the sons. My adopted sons have all been enfeoffed with countries, so you will naturally have countries too. The land in the north of Yinzhou is fertile for thousands of miles and has the aura of a king. Who is willing to go there?"

"Your son is willing to go!" said Murong Sheng.

Murong Sheng is the daughter of Murong Fu and Li Qinglu. She can also inherit Li Qinglu's throne, although this throne has now become a "yellow throne" and she can only wear dragon robes and play in the harem with Emperor Hongwu, and she no longer has any real power.

"You're not going to Xixia?"

"Father, Xixia is already directly under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty and is an inseparable part of the Ming Dynasty. I naturally do not want to establish a country within a country." Murong Sheng had considered this long ago and said, "There are five great lakes in the northern part of Yinzhou. The local Yin people are also our descendants of Yan and Huang. They are the remnants of the Shang Dynasty who moved in. The court has cultivated land there for more than 20 years, so it is time to establish a country. I want to establish a country there and make it a vassal state of the Ming Dynasty forever, protecting the interests of the Ming Dynasty in Yinzhou."

The place that Murong Sheng had his eyes on was exactly the foundation of the United States in later generations. It was a very suitable place for industrial development, but the territory was not that large.

As for the Yin people
The place of Yinzhou has been visited by Murong Fu since ancient times according to the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", and it has a kind of beauty that some people have claimed based on mythological stories.

"Okay, this Yinzhou can establish eight or ten countries. What do you plan to call the country you build?" Murong Fu asked.

"Why not just call it Yin State, the country of Yinzhou?"

"The Shang Dynasty is too old, and the word Yin doesn't sound nice. It's better to call it Britain, Ying means heroic." Murong Fu said with a smile, "Sheng'er, from now on, you will be the King of Britain!"

Some unethical people in later generations used good words such as "British, American, German, and French" to translate foreign countries and try their best to gild them.

Of course, it would not be translated like this now. The Ming Dynasty's translation of the barbarian countries was strongly derogatory, and it was relatively objective and translated according to local characteristics. It would not be embellished with good words.

It would be better to use these good words to enfeoff Murong Fu's sons and establish their own kingdoms.

"Thank you, father, for giving me the name." Murong Sheng said.

The rest of the disciples were reluctant to go to Yinzhou. After all, Yinzhou was far away from the Ming Dynasty and was a foreign land.

But Murong Fu did not allow them to do so, and successively enfeoffed a series of countries in Yinzhou, basically all according to their royal titles.

Finally, Murong Fu exhorted Murong Ming, saying, "Be kind to your brothers and your subjects. The world is so vast, and the actions of dividing the Murong clans will continue in the future."

"Yes, father." Murong Ming said.

A few days later, Murong Fu abdicated.

After Murong Ming declined three times, he ascended the throne as emperor.

He respected Murong Fu as the Human Emperor, continued to use the Hongwu era name, worked hard to govern the country, and implemented a series of policies that benefited the country and the people.

Murong Fu, on the other hand, lived on the Island of Heroes, where he researched and developed martial arts, and simultaneously mined uranium to create a powerful weapon to stabilize the world.

On the Xiake Island, Murong Fu sent out the Imperial Archaeological Team to conduct various archaeological excavations, mainly searching for paradises similar to the Changchun Valley, or the remains of famous ancient immortals.

Not to mention, with the power of the country, archaeological excavations have indeed yielded many good things, including the skeleton of the Vietnamese girl Aqing and a white ape, as well as the sword tomb and the Divine Condor of Dugu Qiubai, linking the entire history of martial arts together.

What Murong Fu values ​​most is the relics of Lu Dongbin. After all, the Island of Heroes is one of the relics of Lu Dongbin, and Xiaoyaozi was also suspected to have received guidance from Lu Dongbin in those days.

After these archaeological discoveries, and with Murong Fu gathering talents from all over the world, the Deep Blue System has transformed decay into magic, and this unprecedented feat of returning all things to their origin is being continuously improved.

And on the Island of Heroes, the messengers who reward the good and punish the evil also began to intimidate the Ming Dynasty.

Any powerful and lawless people, or any interest groups that exploit the common people, will be cleaned out from time to time by the messengers of Xiake Island who reward the good and punish the evil.

These envoys possess the most advanced science, the most powerful martial arts, both magical skills and science, and have an overwhelming advantage over the interest groups within the Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, whenever the entire Ming Dynasty was about to become corrupt and degenerate, the Island of Heroes would intervene in time to curb it, and the atmosphere of the founding of the country would remain unchanged.

In addition to cleaning up these interest groups, the messenger who rewards good and punishes evil also invites masters from all over the world to come to the Island of Heroes to develop martial arts.

However, once those masters entered the Island of Heroes, they seemed to have disappeared and never came back. This frightened the people, and the Island of Heroes gradually became a bizarre legend in the Ming Empire.

However, Murong Fu retired from the martial arts world, and although he was a legend in the martial arts world, he gradually became an illusory legend.

Time flies, the years are like a shuttle.

The young man turned into a skeleton, while the young girl's hair turned into snow-white hair.

In the blink of an eye, a hundred years have passed, and this year is the 130th year of Hongwu.

The current emperor of the Ming Empire is Murong Jin, the great-great-grandson of Emperor Murong Fu.

Murong Jin is a humble and low-key person. He almost never handles government affairs in public. He only participates in various major activities of the empire. He adheres to the rules established by Emperor Murong Fu and loves the people like his own children.

In the Ming Empire, martial arts flourished, science and technology were advanced, everyone had enough food and clothing, and with a population of 1.8 billion spread all over the world, it had become a humanitarian paradise that the world looked up to.

However, as people's living standards improved, the fertility rate declined instead, and the peak population of the empire seemed to be only 1.8 billion.

Ming Empire, Nanjing.

Imperial Martial Arts Academy.

A drone flew back to the hands of a girl in white. The girl in white was extremely beautiful, and it was impossible to look at her directly. She was extremely beautiful and graceful.

She is a top-notch beauty. Although she is not stunningly beautiful, she is also very charming.

The girl checked the drone.

Nowadays, using drones to take aerial photos is a popular activity among young people in the empire.

"Huang Rong, Senior Sister Lianxing asks you to come over." A handsome young man wearing gold-rimmed glasses appeared quietly behind the girl and said.

Although the noise was slight, the girl heard it and said, "Senior Ouyang, your skill of walking without leaving a trace in the snow is very good. I didn't notice you until you were two feet behind me."

The girl named Huang Rong is the daughter of Huang Yaoshi, chairman of the famous Peach Blossom Island Investment Group and a renowned martial arts master.

However, ever since Huang Yaoshi was invited to the Island of Heroes ten years ago, he seemed to have disappeared.

Now the Taohua Island Investment Group is represented by Huang Rong's mother Mei Chaofeng. Mei Chaofeng has lost her husband, but she is also a strong woman who manages the group in an orderly manner.

It should be said that the Imperial Martial Arts Academy is dominated by various second-generations.

After all, in this day and age, although practicing martial arts has many benefits, it is difficult to find a decent job. The martial arts of low-level martial artists are mostly used to participate in fighting competitions for people to watch.

Many martial arts have also taken the path of "only for performance, not for killing the enemy".

If he didn't have martial arts at the level of a Hidden Yuan master, he would have to flee if he was besieged by several detectives from the Six Gates using electric guns.

Only the second generation who are rich and have free time are in the mood to come to the martial arts academy to learn martial arts.

For example, this senior student Ouyang, whose name is Ouyang Ke, also comes from a prominent family.

His father is Ouyang Feng, the chairman of Baituoshan Pharmaceutical. Ouyang Feng is also a master who has mastered the Toad Skill to the highest level. After going to the Island of Heroes, he lost contact with the enemy.

Ouyang Feng's grandfather was Zhaixingzi, the eldest senior brother of the Xingxiu Sect who followed Murong Fu into the Pass. Unfortunately, Zhaixingzi later had financial problems and was arrested by the Jinyiwei. Later, Murong Fu exiled him to the Western Regions because of his merits. Fortunately, he relied on his past connections and excellent pharmaceutical skills to establish the famous Baituoshan Pharmaceutical in the Western Regions.

Baituoshan Pharmaceutical flourished in the hands of Ouyang Feng. Ouyang Feng invented a drug for treating heart disease, which unexpectedly made men strong. As a result, Baituoshan Pharmaceutical became a giant in the imperial pharmaceutical industry.

"Junior Sister Huang Rong, I am only a few years older than you. In terms of talent, I am far inferior to you." Ouyang Ke adjusted his glasses, "Let's go, we can't keep Senior Sister Lianxing waiting for too long."
