In September of the eighth year of the Great Ming Dynasty, His Majesty the Emperor led the vassal kings, ministers, civil officials, and military generals to Jinling City to worship Emperor Gao of the Ming Dynasty was broadcast live in the Ming Daily in the form of text, and was quickly printed and distributed throughout the country. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In addition, court officials and opposition gentry also wrote articles to remember this incident, and highly affirmed and praised His Majesty's loyalty and filial piety. Officials from all over the country also spontaneously built ancestral halls for the life of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty in the bazaars of various towns.

I don't know that the bold one opened the first company to produce and sell portraits of Zhu Yuanzhang and even Zhu Youxiao and books related to them.

Logically speaking, this kind of desecration of the king's holy face is already a serious crime.

But the people are very interested in this kind of portrait of the leader of the country or other elements, and the market has a large capacity, and after the first person to eat crabs, then related businesses have sprung up.

But just as there were more and more such shops and attracted the attention of the upper class, even Liu Ruyu, the governor of Dongchang, was ready to take measures and report to Zhu Youxiao the instructions of this kind of bad practices that were ready to be suppressed.

However, what was unexpected was that Zhu Youxiao directly vetoed the proposal of Liu Ruoyu, the governor of Dongchang, and did not approve of the people of Dongchang to punish these merchants, but ordered the people of Dongchang to adopt a tacit attitude.

According to Zhu Youxiao's meaning, as long as it is not to slander or insult the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, the people can be allowed to visit the shrine.

People always need to believe, and in the Ming Dynasty, many people are more of their ancestors will be deified or even emperors and generals, in this case, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have also been treated as gods by the people.

Because you are a god, you are in awe, and because you are in awe, you can get the stability of the country, why not do it.

However, Zhu Youxiao's fanfare to worship the filial piety tomb and publicize it through newspapers and periodicals, the real value is not only to stimulate the commercial economy, but more importantly, to reflect the political significance.

This is tantamount to reawakening and enhancing the sense of belonging of the people to the Ming Dynasty, and let them once again know clearly who gave this peaceful and prosperous era, and the legitimacy of his Zhu Youxiao is also certain and unquestionable.

Since the fourth year of the Apocalypse, Zhu Youxiao has taken Dongchang and Jinyiwei as his minions, reused eunuchs, strengthened imperial power, and suppressed the civil official group, so that many people have become an out-and-out faint monarch under the guidance of the gentry who have the right to speak.

And now, through the sacrifice of filial piety, at least the whole world can know that at least for now, the entire Chinese country is still Ming.

And Zhu Youxiao, as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, is the legitimate ruler of this land!

Not only did he declare his legitimacy through this sacrificial activity, but Zhu Youxiao also specially gave material benefits to the people of the world on the day of Zhu Yuanzhang's 300th birthday.

"Spread my will, next year the people's land will be reduced by half! Abolish conscription! To persuade the class of agriculture! ”

As soon as Zhu Youxiao's will was published in the newspaper and clearly issued, the people of the whole world immediately rushed to tell each other one after another.

The Daming field tax is not high, and now the reduction by half is even lower, but this is nothing, for the peasants, the real benefit is the abolition of forced labor.

Free part-time work for the government has been as important as paying taxes for thousands of years, but it is even more unbearable than the latter.

Not to mention the free labor required for servitude, but also the expenses along the way and the reduction of one's harvest in a year due to the delay in farming, there is no way to create more wealth with both hands in addition to the busy farming.

The reason why Zhu Youxiao permanently abolished forced labor on the occasion of the 300th anniversary of the birth of Emperor Gao, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, was not only to give favors to the common people to alleviate class contradictions, but also to give them greater liberation of their hands.

In this ancient agrarian country, many times the identities of peasants and workers were fused together.

After more than 200 years of development, the commodity economy has been super developed in the same era, and now under the butterfly effect of Zhu Youxiao, a modern person, there is even a trust economy.

The demand for labor is also stronger, and the increase in wealth always needs to be created by people.

If the hands of these peasants, who could be converted into workers at any time, would be freed from the commercial development of the entire Ming Dynasty.

The abolition of forced labor, although from now on the imperial court could not use free labor to carry out the construction of all kinds of projects, and this may result in greater construction costs due to the employment of civilian husbands.

However, compared to the wealth created after freeing their hands, Zhu Youxiao asked the people of the household department to make statistics, once they were exempted from forced labor, millions of people in the entire Gyeonggi region alone would be able to work in the city and create tens of millions of silver dollars.

Moreover, Zhu Youxiao asked Huo Weihua, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, to tentatively build the project by employing people in the seventh year of the Apocalypse, and what is surprising is that because the wages given to the people are calculated according to the amount of work he works in a single day, therefore, in the whole process of project construction, the construction enthusiasm of the people is quite high, after all, the more you do, the more money you make.

In this way, the construction period of the project is greatly shortened, the cost is reduced a lot, and because the wage is not only linked to quantity but also quality, the quality of the project is also improved a lot.

This year's spring flood in the Huai River basin did not cause a major disaster, because Huo Weihua hired tens of thousands of people to build a kilometer-long section of the river embankment along the river last year.

"The abolition of conscription is an epoch-making gift, only in the Ming Dynasty, to be the people of the Ming Dynasty, can we enjoy this blessing exclusively, and be grateful to our emperor!"

Zhang Dai, the chief writer of Daming Daily, wrote such a comment on the front page.

The people naturally applauded, they recognized this kind of tangible benefit, Zhu Youxiao waved his pen, exempted himself from forced labor, and let the people of the whole world know his existence in a moment.

Some people have even begun to plan whether they should go to the city to get a job this year.

But most of the gentry officials remained silent at this moment, losing the opportunity to exploit themselves, to use free labor in the name of forced labor, and even to be able to force the common people to perform forced labor during the busy agricultural hours, so that they could be bankrupt in order to seize their land.

However, no official has raised any objection to Zhu Youxiao's move, and Zhu Youxiao's collection of commercial taxes can also be scolded as competing with the people for profit, but Zhu Youxiao is now exempted from forced labor by the people, so he can't say anything.

Otherwise, the people of the whole world probably would not forgive him.

What these gentry don't know is that since the levy has been exempted and the land tax has been reduced, the commercial tax is estimated to have to be raised.

Here, Tian Fu will be lowered by one point, but it will not collect a few million silver dollars less, but if the commercial tax is levied by one more point, it will be tens of millions of silver dollars, and Zhu Youxiao, who is unwilling to suffer losses, will naturally recover his losses in the former in the latter.
