Sixty-eight seizures
"Pro-Zheng, I won't go first!"
Zhu Wu took a comfortable posture on the Taishi chair and looked at the military generals in front of him, especially Fu Youde, who was sitting opposite him.
"You fight, you bring the soldiers, I don't worry! Even if there are a little bumps, I can understand and tolerate. You can do it with confidence, do it boldly, I am your backing! ”
Zhu Wu smiled casually and said word by word, "I am more concerned about the autumn harvest, the imperial examination, and the new policy. The autumn harvest is related to the stomachs of tens of millions of people in our Han Dynasty, and I have always warned myself that our rebellion is because of our stomachs.
We must not only feed ourselves, but also feed all the people of the world. Otherwise, this big man just let the people change their masters.
The imperial examination is to select scholars for the country, so that the world's talents can serve the country and the people.
The New Deal is even more related to the livelihood of ordinary people. If you can be a man, who wants to be a tenant and a cow and a horse for others? ”
"Lord Shengming!" The ministers said.
The height is unbearable, and every time he stays in this seat for one more day, Zhu Wu feels that the distance from other people is getting farther away.
It turned out that before he became the king, the civil ministers and military generals of the Han Dynasty, when they were deliberating, rolled up their arms and sleeves, and shouted loudly, there were many people.
Now it is all the rules and regulations, and the court is a little more cautious and solemn, and less lively.
Sometimes it's not a thing.
Zhu Wu casually opened a wooden box in the upper right corner of the table, and there was half a gilded tiger in it.
Since ancient times, this is the tiger talisman that represents royal power and military power, and it is sacrosanct.
But in Zhu Wu's view, this is just a formality.
Up and down the Han army, Zhu Wu is already like a myth, not to mention so many hidden people in blue, monitoring the generals' every move, even if they don't, the soldiers and generals will not have two hearts.
However, in Fu Youde's eyes, this tiger talisman is as heavy as Mount Tai. Stand up respectfully and bow to the end.
"Jiangxi is handed over to you, control your generals." Zhu Wu also stood up and handed the tiger talisman to Fu Youde, "Remember, killing less is to win the hearts of the people." What I want is a complete Jiangxi, you are a withered and dilapidated Jiangxi! ”
"Minister, understood!" Fu Youde has always been steady, two words are worth a thousand words.
"Go ahead, I won't send you. With that red tape time, you've gone far by boat! Zhu Wu smiled, "Youde, take care!" ”
Fu Youde knelt down on one knee, "Lord, don't worry!" ”
After speaking, prostrate your head. He stood up and strode away.
The courtiers in the room watched quietly, with different expressions.
But there is one thing that is the same in their hearts, the king of Han has the spirit of a king, has a broad mind, and trusts his courtiers.
Under the whole world, don't say that in this troubled world, even if it is a unified dynasty, there are a few monarchs who will hand over so many armies to their generals.
Zhu Wumu sent Fu Youde out, turned his head and said, "How are the preparations for the imperial examination?" ”
"Back to the lord!" Liu Bowen said, "The venue has been prepared, and the registered scholars have also been registered, just waiting for the exam to start this fall!" As he spoke, he pulled out a roster, "This is the roster of scholars!" ”
Zhu Wu took it, flipped through it casually, and sneered, "Three hundred and twenty people, quite a few!" Oh! There are still many scholars in Jiangsu and Zhejiang! Huaixi and other places, less than two-tenths! ”
At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, a scholar with speculative intentions had already taken effect when Zhu Wu had not yet ascended the throne.
However, there are still many scholars who have the fame of Meng Yuan and are unwilling to put down their bodies and participate in the imperial examination of the Han Dynasty.
Three hundred and twenty people, quite a few!
What Zhu Wu said was the opposite, there are tens of millions of students in Jiangnan. After much effort, he was thirsty for talent, but only three hundred and twenty people came.
Up and down the Han Dynasty, there is a shortage of officials, not to mention three hundred and twenty people. Don't look at Zhu Wu's subordinates who are full of talents now, but people hate them when they use them.
In fact, Liu Bowen also has a bitter saying in his heart, everyone in Jiangnan knows that your Han King likes to use scholars from a slightly cold background.
Moreover, you Han Wang don't like Qing talk, poetry, and don't like brocade articles. I just like those who are honest and can't beat three farts with a stick.
You, the King of Han, directly set the tone for the imperial examination, who would want to come if you want to do practical things?
At least, I don't want to come now.
Anyway, there will always be the imperial examination, so why rush it.
Most importantly, you Han King does not consider fame a privilege.
At this time, I saw Zhu Wu put down the roster and said with a smile, "Three hundred and twenty people, I don't know how many are virtuous and how many are mediocre!" But whether you are virtuous or mediocre, you always have to be sensible, right! ”
Seeing Liu Bowen nodding, Zhu Wu said again, "The literary style of Jiangsu and Zhejiang is prevalent, and there are many talented people, so they must all be knowledgeable, right?" ”
"It's broken!" Li Shanchang secretly said in his heart, and glanced at Liu Bowen, once the king of Han is yin and yang, he is afraid that there will be a fire.
Sure enough, Zhu Wu changed his words and sneered, "But I don't understand, the new deal can be carried out smoothly in other places, how can it be difficult to implement it when it comes to a place where there are many readers?" ”
Liu Bowen was suddenly shocked.
"It is not easy to train a scholar, and the efforts of dozens of generations have led to today's prevailing literary style, and this educational achievement has been passed down through the ages."
Zhu Wu continued, "I haven't read any books, but I respect people who read. In our country, every time there is a troubled time, there are always some scholars who stand up, take the world as their own responsibility, and die for themselves. ”
"But now, why is it that your horizons are so narrow, and you just look at your own one-third of an acre?" Zhu Wu sneered, "The prefect of Suzhou, the prefect of Jiading, the local gentry resisted the new policy, refused the census, and did not allow the peasant households at home to serve the people. The Han Dynasty has obviously announced to the world that all excesses and miscellaneous taxes will be abolished, but why do some gentry ignore it?
The taxes of the Mengyuan Dynasty forced the people to sell their fields at a low price and sell themselves as slaves as tenants. Now these so-called gentry who have heirlooms of poetry and books do not allow the poor to become ordinary people and cultivate their own crops, what is the reason? ”
Liu Bowen was in a cold sweat behind his back, the Han army had not yet unified the entire territory of Jiangnan, but it was only a matter of time.
As a famous scholar in western Zhejiang and the minister of etiquette of the Han Dynasty, Liu Bowen naturally became the leader of the scholars in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
Zhu Wu's words are to put the entire Jiangnan scholars into it.
"I'm not trying to attack you, I just don't understand, these scholars don't come to participate in the imperial examination, they don't want to be officials, and they resist the new policy, why?"
Zhu Wu sneered, "It's not to snatch food from their mouths, it's just to check the hidden population, hide the acres, these things that don't belong to them, can't they spit it out?" ”
As he spoke, he sneered again, "Mo Fei, I really thought that my Zhu Wu's knife was unhappy!" Do you really think that Chang Yuchun led the army to eat fasting and chant Buddha in Jiangnan? Do you want me to kill people's heads? ”
Readers are a very delicate group. You have to recognize their positive significance to this country, you have to recognize their role, you have to respect their contributions.
But sometimes, these people are so hateful. They study, and the imperial examination is for the privilege of the family.
The gentry who inherited poetry and books, cultivated and read heirlooms, were these landlords with privileges.
Meng Yuandu is almost finished! Why do you think your privileges are good?
It's probably up and down for thousands of years, and it's used to happening. No matter who becomes the emperor, he will accommodate you, win you over, and reuse you.
But Lao Tzu is not good here, Lao Tzu is a person who wants food, and he is not used to your stinky problems.
Lao Tzu is asking for food, not from the aristocracy of Li Tang, not from the head of the Zhao and Song dynasties. Lao Tzu was born low, and Lao Tzu only saw two words, starving.
Lao Tzu wants an official who does practical things, not a scholar who reads the Four Books and Five Classics and uses his fame to seek privileges for his own family.
What Lao Tzu wants is an official for the people, an official who can benefit the people, and a person who is of the same mind as Lao Tzu.
Lao Tzu here, no one has privileges. People with meritorious names pay taxes on grain and obey the law, and you have to pay as much tax as you have as much property as you have.
At this point, in fact, Zhu Wu and Zhu Yuanzhang are surprisingly consistent.
In the words of Old Man Xi, Xiao Wu, you and Zhu Chongba are both people with distinct class characteristics in their hearts.
is still the same sentence, if the monarch does not stand with the people, then the world is still an old bottle of old wine, just a change of master for the people.
Lao Tzu can't control the future, but now that Lao Tzu is in power, he must do a good job in front of him.
"I know, a lot of people are watching!" Zhu Wu breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm thinking, what kind of character is this big man!" ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Wu's face showed a trademark banter, "This big man is the one who asked for food, and he brought another group of people to ask for food, and beat him down."
I don't want to be the one who asks for food, but I don't want my children and grandchildren to ask for food again.
I hope to convey this through your mouths and tell those who read! ”
"In fact, there is no need to open the imperial examination, and there is no shortage of officials in the Han Dynasty. Those Meng Yuan's demos, don't they also do a good job with the knife on their necks? Do they dare to be greedy now? ”
"There is a process for everything, it is difficult to start a business, and it is even more difficult to win people's hearts." Li Shanchang said loudly, "Don't be in a hurry, lord! ”
Zhu Wu can still distinguish good words and rely on words. The matter of the scholar class is indeed urgent.
"The imperial examination still has to be held, and it must be done in a big way!" Zhu Wushun said in a tone, "Take scholars for the country, take talents, and take talents." Dahan is not my alone, it is everyone's. ”
As he spoke, he looked at Liu Bowen again and said with a smile, "I'm a person who was born reckless and straightforward, don't mind too much if it's serious!" ”
"Minister, don't dare!" Liu Bowen hurriedly said.
Meng Yuan's official is not easy to do, but the official of the Han Dynasty is even more difficult to do, because this Han King is a master who can't tolerate sand in his eyes.
"Originally, I'm a person who wants food, and I don't want to meddle in the affairs of scholars." Zhu Wu said with a smile, "But now, I want to give a question to the scholars who participated in the imperial examination!" ”
Speaking of this, Zhu Wu's fingers tapped on the table and said with a smile, "On the relationship between the tyranny of Mengyuan and land annexation, and the bankruptcy of the people!" ”
This is not a question that anyone who wants to eat can come up with!
