Chapter 36: Grandparents Get Along - For the First Time

However, it is said that Yun Xi is holding Lao Zhu, but in fact, Lao Zhu's body is very healthy, and Yun Xi has no effort at all. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Yunxi has a little chat with Lao Zhu along the way, Lao Zhu will tell some interesting stories about Zhu Biao when he was a child, and also tell some interesting things about Yunxi when he was a child, as well as talk about the gap between the wars, joke with the generals, and play dumb riddles with the strategists, as if you have an old People's Liberation Army grandfather who fought in the past, talking to you about the things of the year.

Yunxi (Sun Lin, I don't know how many people remember this name), grandfather died before he was born, he didn't enjoy such feelings, and he didn't have much contact with Lao Zhu before this life, let alone such time alone, so he enjoyed this time very much.

After a while, I arrived at the back of Kunning Palace. Yun Xi finally knew what was here, it was a large field ———— crops. Some of the crops have been harvested, others have not yet been harvested, and are still standing in the fields.

Lao Zhu let go of Yun Xi's hand, walked to the field, turned to Yun Xi and said, "Do you remember that when you were seven years old, I took Biao'er, as well as your second and third uncles, they weeded here, and you played with Gao Chi and Ji Xi on the side, and then trampled on a crop, causing Biao'er to beat you?" ”

Yun Xi thought about it carefully, and couldn't find any relevant memories at all, but still replied: "I only remember that my father spanked me when I was seven years old, and then I was persuaded by my second uncle." ”

Lao Zhu smiled: "Haha, Yan'er (the second Qin Wang) is completely irrelevant, so he can dissuade while laughing, Li'er (the third Jin King) didn't chase Ji Xi to beat him at that time, the fourth child was not there at the time, otherwise Gao Chi would not be better." ”

After laughing for a while, Lao Zhu stretched out his hand, and the person in charge of taking care of the crops immediately handed over the sickle, and Lao Zhu walked into the field and harvested. Seeing this, Yun Xi also took a handful of scythes and learned to harvest.

Yoon-hee had never done anything like that at all. Although there were professionals (eunuchs) who kept instructing him, he was still very inefficient, and he was tired after a while, after all, the strength of the fourteen-year-old was still small. I wanted to persevere, but I had to stop and rest after a while.

Lao Zhu only made one more stick of incense and stopped. He walked to Yun Xi, who was sitting on the side to rest, stopped Yun Xi's intention to get up, also sat on the chair, and said to Yun Xi: "You old thirteen (acting Wang Zhu Gui, Feiyi Prince Yinxiang) down, and my grandson's generation, I have never taken you to plant crops. In the past, they all followed me to farm the land themselves. I took you to harvest the crops today, not because I want you to become an expert in farming, and I can't become an expert this time and a half; I just want you to know how hard it is to farm, and when you eat, you have to think about the hard-won food in your mouth. ”

For the first time, Yunxi had a clear understanding of how difficult it was to grow food in the era without various agricultural machinery, and he was touched. Because Lao Zhu is the only emperor in Chinese history who was born poor and has done the hardest and most tiring work, he hates corrupt officials so much. Yun Xi thought.

He opened his mouth and said, "Grandpa Huang, I know. Lao Zhu looked at Yun Xi's eyes and made sure that he was really touched, so he said with relief: "It's good that you are really moved, it's not in vain that I will take you here." ”

After resting for a while, Lao Zhu said: "I didn't want you to know about Jinyiwei now, but I happened to meet it today, so I will let you hear it." Jin Yiwei is a secret job, and most of the cases will be innocent and cruel, so I removed the errand of Jin Yiwei in the 20 years (Hongwu) to handle the case, and only let them be in charge of investigation, pursuit, and evidence collection. ”

Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's point of view, Yun Xi agrees. In an era when politics was still relatively clear, it was indeed a lot of problems to handle cases with an institution like Jinyiwei that was completely out of sight, but it would be much better if it was handed over to an open institution like the Three Law Divisions. However, isn't it because you deliberately connived at the reason why Jinyiwei handled the case so widely before? Yun Xi thought to himself.

Lao Zhu continued: "And the reason why Jinyiwei is allowed to monitor the ministers is because the ministers are not loyal to the country and have their own personal interests, so in order to prevent their calculations from harming the country, they have to spy on them; It is precisely the surveillance of these subordinates that can uncover so many corrupt officials and punish them. ”

In Yun Xi's view, this part of Lao Zhu's point of view has some truth, after all, who is not selfish? Lao Zhu is so protective of the corruption of his officials, isn't it also because this country is his? Unselfish talents are rare. But Yun Xi thinks: first, it is impossible to eliminate corruption in feudal society; Second, we should not use spy surveillance to fight corruption. Not to mention that it costs a lot of money to use a large number of spies, the main reason is that spies have no selfish intentions? Even the ancient Ah Wax Bo who used the castration of the queen to be an official could not put an end to selfish corruption, let alone a spy with normal health.

To prevent corruption, we also need to rely on the system. However, the Ming Dynasty could not adopt the system from the Han to the Tang Dynasty. The main reason why there was very little corruption from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty was that most of the officials were born in families, and these people were born in fine clothes and jade food since childhood, and they all knew that as long as they were not rice buckets, they would have officials, and their descendants would have officials as long as they were not rice buckets, so they would not make any money when they were officials; At the same time, due to the development of papermaking and printing, and the maturity of the imperial examination system, a family has no way to guarantee that it has always been an official, and can only be a landlord of the Shu clan, so for the sake of future generations and their own life after retirement, they desperately make money when they are in office. This is also the reason why Lao Zhu killed a corrupt official when he found it, but he still couldn't stop the corruption. The Song Dynasty was in the transition period from the Shi landlord to the Shu landlord, and there were many corrupt behaviors. According to the various methods of later generations, Yun Xi already had a not very mature idea, and planned to implement it after the Hongwu period passed. However, it is also impossible to guarantee that there is no corruption. (This paragraph refers to Yi Zhongtian's "Three Kingdoms" and "Pinrenlu", which are later compiled text versions.) Personally, I think it makes sense. )

Lao Zhu saw that Yun Xi didn't speak, thinking that he didn't agree with his statement. Because Zhu Biao had a different point of view from himself before his death. He sighed, stopped talking, and said something else: "In my opinion, everything has been thought of in the matter of treasure money, and the rest is how the work of the officials below is doing, just ask how you are doing every day, and you should pay more attention to the military academy in the past ten days, and think about what to do." ”

Yun Xi also felt that there was nothing he could do here. He couldn't handle specific things for him, so it was time to go to the military department to deal with the affairs of the military academy. After all, that one is also important. So he said: "Yes, Grandpa Huang, from tomorrow onwards, I will go to the Ministry of Household every morning and go to the Ministry of War." ”

Lao Zhu nodded with satisfaction and did not continue the topic. After a while, it was 2 o'clock (6 p.m.). Yun Xi helped Lao Zhu back to Qianqing Palace, and the grandfather and grandson had dinner together again, and Yun Xi returned to Wenhua Palace.

Back in Wenhua Palace, Yun Xi first rested for a while, and then listened to Wang Jin's report on today's situation. Seeing that there was no special situation, I read the book, sorted out my thoughts for today, and went to bed!
