Start as Zhu Youjian, See How I Make Trouble

When Zhu Youjian traveled to Chongzhen, he didn't light up the technology tree. He only had the art of balancing and blame-shifting that he learned while "drowsing around" within the system. Faced with this empire that is riddled with holes, efforts to cure it are too slow, and scraping the bones to heal the wounds is too painful. Therefore, Zhu Youjian decided to turn the "poisons" that had brought down countless dynasties into "prescriptions" that saved the Ming Dynasty. The "Zhou Dynasty enfeoffment" was used to relieve resource constraints: the enfeoffment of vassal kings overseas was euphemistically called "opening up borders and expanding territory", but in fact it relieved the financial burden of empire expansion and created a group of loyal overseas princes. Use the "Strict Laws of the Qin Dynasty" to treat corruption: use the harshest laws to exclusively serve the bureaucrats and gentry, turn anti-corruption into a movement, and use the blades of ruthless officials to amass wealth and power for the empire. Use "Han Dynasty relatives" to break the civil service situation: vigorously promote the queen's family and create a powerful "foreign relatives group" to check, balance and suppress the intricate civil service system. Use the "Sui Dynasty Great Project" to save the refugees from chaos: Following the example of Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty, we launched a super project to provide work-for-relief, turning the surging refugees into labor for construction, which not only stabilized the society, but also consolidated the country's foundation. Use the "Tang Dynasty vassal towns" to solidify the military foundation: grant local financial rights to close generals, tacitly allow them to form "vassal towns", use the bundle of interests to exchange for absolute loyalty, and let the arrogant and powerful generals fight only for me. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty said that I was drinking poison to quench my thirst, and that I was repeating the old path of country subjugation in previous dynasties. But they don't understand that when all the "traps of national subjugation" are accurately controlled and used by Ming Dynasty, they themselves become the most impregnable moat.
