    Hearing Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s question, Liu Jian immediately didn¡¯t know how to reply.

    Every dynasty has its heyday, but often it quickly declines after its heyday and eventually dies.

    There is no way to draw lessons from the history of previous dynasties and guide the development of the Ming Dynasty now.

    At this time, the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty has surpassed that of any previous dynasty, and problems that have never occurred in any previous dynasty have appeared. This makes Liu Jian, who has read traditional books all his life, deeply feel that his abilities are insufficient and he does not know how to deal with it.

    When asked by Emperor Hongzhi, he didn¡¯t know how to reply.

    I deeply feel the great responsibility and cannot talk nonsense easily. Ming Dynasty has finally reached the current situation. If it is affected by my own wrong views, I am afraid I will be a sinner for the ages.

    "I don't know what to do."

    After a long time, Liu Jian shook his head slightly and said.

    "Hmm~"

    "What good ideas do you have?"

    Emperor Hongzhi nodded slightly, not surprised, and turned to ask Xie Qian, Li Dongyang, Zhong Zhong, Zhang Mao and others.

    When everyone heard this, they fell silent.

    "Your Majesty~"

    After a long time, Li Dongyang thought for a while and then slowly spoke.

    "The prosperity and prosperity of our Ming Dynasty today far exceed that of the Han and Tang Dynasties. The vastness of the territory is even greater than that of the Mongol Empire, with a population of tens of millions."

    "Managing such a huge country is a huge challenge for our court and our officials. We can no longer do what we did before, just doing light corvees and paying little taxes, and encouraging teachers to teach farmers and mulberry trees."  The huge country must be well managed.¡±

    Li Dongyang said very seriously, this is his most intuitive feeling in the past few years.

    The Ming Dynasty has gone beyond the trajectory of previous dynasties and embarked on a path that has never been taken before. Naturally, the court is also facing new challenges in the management of the country.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? isn¡¯t it not?

    But now, there are the vast grassland provinces and Liaodong Province in the north, and the vast Western Region and Hezhong area in the west. It is inevitable that there are more Nanyang provinces, in addition to the huge Golden Continent and Australia.

    If you include the many overseas colonies and vassal states, it would be even bigger.

    With such a huge territory, the time required to communicate between various places is much longer than before. Among other things, it takes more than two months to send a unilateral letter between the imperial court and Australia.

    In addition to the inconvenience and long time required to travel, there are also many ethnic groups, tribes, etc. living in the huge territory.

    There are tribes and countries descended from the Shang Dynasty here in Huangjinzhou, there are Australian aborigines here in Australia, and there are a large number of local aborigines in the Nanyang region. The prairie people on the northern grasslands, the Jurchens in the deep mountains and forests of Liaodong, and the Western Regions are all large and small.  Various tribes.

    With such a vast territory and such a complex population structure, it is inconvenient to communicate with each other, the language is not clear, and the life, customs, etc. are also completely different.

    For the imperial court, there is definitely no way to effectively manage such a huge country and numerous ethnic groups and tribes by relying on the previous methods.

    In the past, in this remote area with few Han people, the imperial court would often appoint local tribal leaders to manage the area. This has many benefits.

    The imperial court can govern a large area, stabilize the territory, and consolidate the borders without much effort.

    But the disadvantages are also obvious, because under such extensive management, the sky is high and the emperor is far away in these places. The leaders of these tribes surrendered to the central dynasty when they were weak, but once their own strength became stronger, or the central dynasty weakened, they returned  They will quickly claim to be a country, and even plan to prosper China.

    This kind of history has been played out countless times, over and over again, and again and again.

    Therefore, even if it can occupy a vast territory when it is strong, it will quickly lose these territories once it is weak. Only places with a large number of Han people will always have a strong centripetal force and always be united with the Central Plains dynasty.

    In this regard, the Western Regions is the best example.

    Both the Han and Tang Dynasties occupied and ruled here, but eventually lost it.

    The territory and territory of the Ming Dynasty now exceed those of any previousThere are simply too many problems.

    These problems have never appeared before. The key is that when the officials and officials of the Ming Dynasty face these problems, they don¡¯t know what to do.

    From Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, to the magistrates and officials of ordinary county offices, many times they don¡¯t know what to do. And the key is that according to the past model, everyone has no idea how to manage and operate a place.  Basically it's all about doing nothing.

    Sometimes, if a local official can be fair and honest, he can be regarded as a noble man. If he builds some bridges and paves some roads, he will give the umbrella to the people.

    You could live like this before, but can you continue like this now?

    Can this continue in the future?

    "Obviously, this is not possible, and Li Dongyang has already deeply felt this.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
