Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at his frowning son: "Biao'er, are you a little soft-hearted?" ”

Zhu Biao should say that they deserve something like that at this time, after all, the names of those people were originally drawn by him, and now they are soft-hearted, so they can't help but feel a little wavering.

Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "After Erchen came back from the battlefield, he thought that he would not feel anything about the lives of hundreds of people here, but they must be executed, and Erchen still felt a little unbearable. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, no one wanted his son to be a cold-blooded and ruthless person, stood up and walked to Zhu Biao's side and said: "Biao'er, it is a good thing to be benevolent to the monarch, but it is also necessary to be hard-hearted." Governing the people of the world requires benevolence, but if you want to govern civil and military officials, you need to be hard-hearted, and a weak emperor will only become a puppet of officials. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang pulled his son to the side and sat down: "How many people are involved in the tax and grain of a single household, this is still our net and control the problem within the household, otherwise it will not only be these five hundred people who die." ”

"If it weren't for the time, we would like to kill him 5,000 people at a time, let these officials know the fate of corruption and perversion of the law, and let them know what it means to be difficult to be deceived by God!"

Zhu Biao cheered up and told Zhu Yuanzhang about the record in another account book, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not look surprised after hearing it, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang was born at the bottom, and he had also mixed up under others, and he also had an understanding of the process of distributing spoils.

If you don't feed the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department and those few high-ranking people, how dare the Ministry of Households embezzle grain taxes on a large scale.

Zhu Biao thought of the rest of the people in the household department and said: "What should the rest of the household department do, although they also took the tax grain, but the amount is not large, and some of them are indeed overpopulated in the family, and it is indeed a little difficult to support the family by relying on the imperial court's money." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said directly: "No matter what, if they break the law, they will be punished, they can avoid the death penalty, they will be beaten with a cane for thirty, and they are not allowed to ask for leave the next day, and they have to continue to deal with the affairs of the household department while crawling!" ”

It seems that tomorrow not only will more than 500 heads fall to the ground, but more than 500 buttocks will be beaten.

Zhu Biao thought of Yu Lu's question and said, "Father, do you want to promote the officials as soon as possible?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "It's definitely not right now, I can mention it a little next year, but it will never be too much."

"It's not that we don't want to give them a lot of money, we have studied it carefully, and their money may not be enough for them to buy land, but it's still okay to let them eat well. According to today's national strength, what can be given to them is the benefit of forty or fifty acres of land, and the country cannot afford it! ”

Zhu Biao nodded, he knew that this was a bit taken for granted, Zhu Biao just felt that Yu Lu had given enough, and if they were corrupt and perverted the law, Zhu Biao would have nothing to bear.

High salaries have proven to be useless, not to mention the low effect, and have stimulated the appetite of those corrupt officials, making them even more greedy.

Zhu Yuanzhang patted his son's shoulder and said: "If you have the heart to improve their income, it's not impossible, but you have to wait until the country is rich and the talent reserve is enough.

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Since my father also has this idea, why not implement it in a few years?" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "I'm afraid we can't see the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty, according to the current situation, there is no more than ten or twenty years, the Ming Dynasty is far from recovering, how to talk about the prosperity of the world." ”

Zhu Biao understood when he heard this, Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that he would not live to that time, after all, the average life expectancy of this era is thirty or forty years old, and Zhu Yuanzhang is already in his forties this year, not to mention that he fought in the north and south before he ascended the throne, and after he ascended the throne, he slept all night, and worked hard all day, so he would inevitably worry about his lifespan.

However, Zhu Biao knows that his father is iron-beaten, even if he has experienced such a painful blow, he can live to be seventy-one years old, not to mention that with Zhu Biao waiting by the side in this life, maybe he can live a long life if he is happy.

Although this means that Zhu Biao may set a record for the longest reigning prince in world history, Zhu Biao does not care, according to the character of his father, he will be able to govern in a few years, although he does not have the title of emperor, but he is already very satisfied with Zhu Biao.

You can't attack your father for the throne, this is not something Zhu Biao can do, and it also violates his bottom line as a man.

Zhu Biao thought of this and said to his father with a smile: "If the son says that his father will live long, he must be lying to you, but the son dares to say that you have no problem at least living a long life!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang heard that his son's words were indeed sincere, and his eyebrows danced happily, since ancient times, it has been said that there is no father and son in the heavenly family, and there are no brothers and sisters in the royal family, but it is different in himself.

After laughing for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "How long did Emperor Qin, Han Wu, Tang Sect and Song Ancestor live?" We don't mean that we can live to be 100 years old, we just hope that God can give us more than ten years, let us help you settle the world, and after the forces of all parties are suppressed, we will hand you a peaceful country, and we can leave with peace of mind. ”

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang asked Zhu Biao to go to sleep and go to sleep, don't disturb him, he has to deal with government affairs.

Zhu Biao silently felt his tired body, and then compared it with his father, who was over forty years old, and he didn't know who was a fifteen-year-old boy.

Zhu Biao was devastated, and he was really ready to exercise his body, he felt that he had no problems with his body since he was a child, and he really felt that he was even healthier than his previous life, and there were no congenital deficiencies.

Therefore, it is concluded that Zhu Biao's death in history must have been due to depression, and in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang's long-term massacre of a large number of officials, he was afraid, on the contrary, he had no courage, and it was not easy to get up and plead for mercy, and the result was a lesson.

The father and son have been in the contradiction of complementary understanding for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang saw him like this, hated iron and steel, so he sent him to deal with those officials, and under the depression again and again, he finally couldn't help jumping into the river, and then he died depressed.

Zhu Biao walked all the way back to the East Palace, and decided that there would be no urgency in the future, and he would never take a ride, exercise more, and he couldn't be lazy tomorrow morning, and he could get up and walk around the East Palace, just in this era the air was fresh.

Entering the main hall, Yun Jin was waiting for Zhu Biao to come back in plain clothes, stepped forward to serve Zhu Biao, took off his robe and said: "Your Highness is tired today, or the slave maid will wait for you to wash your feet, so rest early." ”

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Arrange a bath, there are still things to do tomorrow." ”

Yun Jin agreed gently, and the palace maids behind her immediately went down to make arrangements, Zhu Biao comfortably leaned on the soft couch and looked at Yun Jin and asked, "How is it, are things in the harem easy to handle?" ”

Yun Jin said with a smile: "The slave maid is a person from the East Palace, and she is loved by the queen's mother, even the high-ranking concubines are very kind to the slave maid, and those people below are naturally well-behaved." ”
