77, Zhu Yuanzhang is a vicious guy
"Lord Song, what do you think of Your Majesty's decision? Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info" Liu Bowen lowered his voice and said to Song Lian.
Song Lian shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's really annoying Song, but depending on the next day, it's better to see more than less, after all, this world is Your Majesty's world, and now that the Mongols have been weakened, Your Majesty can do whatever he wants, you and I can't control it, and if you are not careful, it may implicate you and me." ”
"Alas, this is Hu Lai, as an emperor, how can he combine personal grievances with the rise and fall of the country, he is a typical communiqué personal vendetta." Liu Bowen shook his head and stopped talking, he had no choice.
For Zhu Yuanzhang's background, Liu Bowen is very clear, His Majesty used to herd cattle for the landlords, and was always oppressed and scolded by the landlords, and now His Majesty has become the emperor, these landlord classes will naturally not be better, for Liu Bowen, he can't care about the life or death of these landlord classes, what he is worried about now is that His Majesty's rectification of the landlord class will cause social turmoil? After all, the landlord class is the basis for maintaining system rule.
No one knew that the conversation between Liu Bowen and Song Lian had been seen by Zhu Yuanzhang, but Zhu Yuanzhang had no words, but his brows were tightly locked together because he saw the shaking of the two ministers.
The day after the banquet, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict stipulating that all localities should re-measure the land of the whole country, nationalize all land that was forcibly seized, restart the land equalization system, and ensure that everyone owns land.
The implementation of the new policy is a good thing for ordinary people, but it is a nightmare for some.
Many landlords with a large amount of land were injured by 10,000 points, and within a few days, the property of the landlords across the country was forcibly taken away by the government.
At the beginning, the government's handling behavior was quite polite, and it was necessary to read out His Majesty's decree of the emperor and then move it with emotion and reason, and strive to convince people.
But there are too many landlord classes, and the government finally felt bored, so they simply didn't do it, and led people to break in and get all the rich things to the government, and many officials also fished in troubled waters to fill their pockets, this time to purge the landlords, the landlords were hungry, but the government was fat, and the first big fat man was naturally Zhu Yuanzhang.
"God, why are you treating us like this, we haven't broken any laws." Many old landlords were forcibly detained by the government and walked to the border.
"We are all law-abiding civilians, we are all innocent, I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty." A middle-aged landlord waved his hands to break free.
The errand smashed his fist in the face and spat fiercely: "You are just a poor businessman, and you still want to see Your Majesty, Your Majesty doesn't have the time to see you, obediently, otherwise you will suffer." ”
At this moment, the blood and tears of the landlord class cast Zhu Yuanzhang's happiness, looking at the many treasures taken from the hands of the landlord class, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, this action was so easy, Zhu Yuanzhang's heart also swelled, and his eyes immediately moved to stared at the big fat sheep that had not been eaten in his mouth - the Shen family.
But when his subordinates told Zhu Yuanzhang that the Shen family's people had left Chang'an and there was no trace of the news, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.
"What do you mean that the Shen family has disappeared? What do Chang'an officials eat? Zhu Yuanzhang patted the dragon chair and said angrily.
The official hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty spares your life, Your Majesty spares your life." ”
"Immediately send someone to find the Shen family's action, immediately." Zhu Yuanzhang was only angry and angry, as if his heart and liver had been dug out.
Li Shanchang next to him smiled and said, "Your Majesty, don't be angry!" Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, since the people of the Shen family have left, then Your Majesty can treat them as if they are dead. If you can run, the monk can't run the temple, so isn't the shop left by the Shen family in the folk your majesty's? His Majesty only needs to place a crime on the Shen family, and then directly send the government to take over these shops. ”
Listening to Li Shanchang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood improved a little: "Did you spare Shen Cong like this?" This thief has offended me many times, and I am determined to break his body into thousands of pieces in order to relieve the hatred in my heart. ”
"Your Majesty, the whole world is not the king's land, where else can he Shen Cong go, as long as he orders the officials at all levels to conduct searches throughout the country." Li Shanchang smiled and replied confidently.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction: "Well, it makes sense, those who know me, and those who are good at it." ”
Then Zhu Yuanzhang immediately sent someone to discuss the matter of preparing to take over the Shen family's shop, and at the same time, he also planted countless charges for the Shen family, what was committed below, what was the crime of bullying the king, everything was there.
When Chang Yuchun, one of the ministers, heard the news, he was so frightened that he was distracted, and immediately sent someone to secretly inquire about the ins and outs of this matter, which made him even more powerless.
"In this way, my father is helping to abuse him, and he actually let Shen Cong out of the checkpoint with his own hands, no wonder when the Shen family was carrying the goods, Shen Cong has been accompanying us, not letting us go to see the Shen family's goods, it turns out that he is transferring the wealth of the Shen family, if Your Majesty knows that we helped Shen Cong escape from the pass, the fate of our Chang family will be over, what should we do now? Is it the initiative to confess to His Majesty? Chang Yuchun told his wife and son about this with palpitations.
Mrs. Chang was also frightened for a while, and it took a long time to settle down: "Master, don't be stupid, if you confess to His Majesty the Emperor, I'm afraid you will be killed immediately." ”
Chang Mao interjected on the side: "Mother, this matter was originally done by His Majesty, right?" He has recently forcibly seized the wealth of many landlords, which is already a bit of a robber's behavior, and the Shen family has not made any big mistakes, but His Majesty has repeatedly tried to put the Shen family to death, which is too unkind, how can Your Majesty change so much? It's completely different from the kind and kind His Majesty before. ”
"Shut up." Mrs. Chang was so frightened that she gave Chang Mao a mouthful: "Your Majesty is also something we can discuss?" Be careful what you say in the future, you will bring disaster to your family. ”
"Master, now we don't care who is right or wrong in this matter, now His Majesty wants to arrest Shen Cong, and you let him out, so if Your Majesty knows, we will definitely be guilty of capital crimes, according to the meaning of the concubine, the best way now is to hide from the world, not admit it, and at the same time cut off contact with Shen Cong, although he is kind to the Chang family, but in the final analysis, it is also harmful to us."
Chang Yuchun lowered his head and thought for a long time, and finally nodded.
Shen Cong, who was far away in Vladivostok, was not surprised at all after listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's actions, Zhu Yuanzhang hated the rich and was famous.
After all, he is a selfish guy who does everything for himself. doesn't care about the life or death of others, a typical master who unloads the mill and kills the donkey.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang often talks about hiding wealth from the people. However, by "rich" he meant satisfying the lowest level of people's material needs, and once they crossed this level, the rich became a threat to the stability of his dynasty and were the target of his attack.
Zhu Yuanzhang's suppression of the rich has two main methods, one is forced immigration; The second is to fabricate charges.
When the Ming Dynasty was just established, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to force a large number of wealthy people in Suzhou to move to Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown Fengyang, and he used the law to crack down on large households and spared no effort.
There were many big cases in the Hongwu Dynasty, and in these big cases, many powerful families were implicated. The historical books say: Under the blow of Zhu Yuanzhang, the Sanwu area "the wealthy people and giant clans were wiped out", "the rich family for a while either migrated or died, and the reputation disappeared and disappeared."
It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthlessness is not ordinary ruthlessness, I am afraid that those rich people can stand it, but fortunately he moved to Vladivostok.
