"The emperor......" Wang Chengen, who was with Chongzhen, called in a low voice.

Chongzhen raised his hand and stopped Wang Chengen from speaking. He looked in from the window, and just in time to see half of Zhu Cihong's body, leaning on the pillar like a naughty child, holding a jade hook on the ground to write and draw. Accidentally, Chongzhen almost hit the cold glass.

This is a new batch of glass windows in the palace.

The first window panes were given to the cabinet; the second batch went to parents and aunts; The second batch was replaced by Fengxian Hall and Taimiao.

- Sure enough, he is a heavy society, filial piety, but he can't speak it.

Chongzhen felt a burst of heat in his heart: The crown prince is resolute and mune, even if he is required by the standards of an ancient gentleman, he is also a benevolent person!

"Ahem." Chongzhen finally felt a little cold, and saw that Zhu Cihong had the movement to stand up, so he simply pushed the door in, and coughed dryly to identify himself.

Zhu Cihong didn't expect Chongzhen to come to Fengxian Hall so late, and he first went through whether he was rude or not, and then he remembered to salute his father.

"What are you writing about?" Chongzhen glanced at the floor tiles, which were clean and clean, and he couldn't see anything.

Zhu Cihong didn't know what to say for a while, did he bluntly say that he was planning to attack the foundation of society?

"Erchen is thinking about Jiangnan." Zhu Cihong changed his angle, and it was not a deception.

"Gangnam...... Is there a plague? Chongzhen was a little apprehensive.

Zhu Cihong shook his head slightly and asked, "Father, do you sometimes feel that the decree cannot reach the countryside?" ”

Chongzhen's throat rolled, he laughed dryly, and suddenly sang: "Made at sunrise." Daily income. Sink a well and drink. Plough the fields and eat. What is Dili to me? It's hard to say whether it's singing in tune or not, Chongzhen smiled and asked, "Did you hear it when you were a child?" ”

- This is the first time I have heard this tune of "Kik Song".

Zhu Cihong nodded.

"The people cultivate and eat, and they are content, which is the beauty of the world. Emperor Taizu Gao did not allow county officials and officials to go to the countryside. Only households and grain chiefs are allowed to collect taxes, just to protect the people. Chongzhen replied, his eyes involuntarily drifted to Zhu Yuanzhang's divine position, and he was a little weak-hearted.

"Then the imperial power doesn't have to go deep into the countryside?" Zhu Cihong couldn't believe that Chongzhen was about to give up such an important control directly.

"There are old people and patriarchs in the countryside to maintain discipline and send officials to disturb the people in vain." Chongzhen said: "As long as the people pay the grain tax on time and serve the conscription." The court had better not bother them. Now that you are exempt from conscription and food taxes for two years, it is very good, so that the people can live and recuperate in the countryside. ”

"Father, the farmland and water conservancy, the construction of bridges and paving roads, and the support of orphans and widows...... Who's going to do these things? ”

"I have my own clan in the township to do it. If it is not a major project, the imperial court would rather not do it, so as not to make more and more mistakes. Chongzhen sighed: "The court spent a lot of silver, but it caused the people to be displaced. Homeless, why bother? ”

"Father's ......" Zhu Cihong was already a little speechless: "Why is this happening?" ”

"Because of the ink-greedy officials." Chongzhen thought that the crown prince really didn't know what to do, and said patiently: "People's hearts are separated from their bellies, you look at their various gentlemen and elegance, and they are really greedy and amassive, but they don't care about the lives of the people. Although my family is a heavenly family, Taizu warned future generations that they must not trust officials. I've heard that the judge you chose was also corrupt and perverted the law shortly after taking office, and it seems that quite a few of them have been arrested. ”

"Yes. It was intentional by the sons. Zhu Cihong said.

"Oh? Deliberately corrupt officials? Chongzhen was taken aback by his son's reply: "How can there be such a way to employ people?" ”

"One is to give opportunities to those who have read books, as long as they are able to discipline themselves. If the laws of the court are enforced, the past will not be blamed. can be a new person, and having an official body is good for glorifying the ancestors. Zhu Cihong said: "As long as there are really one or two clean among these people, it will not be in vain for the sons and daughters to work hard." ”

"And next?"

"Then there is the matter of letting the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate submit their names." Zhu Cihong said casually: "The bad rules of officialdom are rampant, and they must start with the corruption of the constitution. Take advantage of the new constitution now, let them kill more people. If you eat the sweetness of killing, you won't be able to stop it in the future. If someone really wants to stop, other officials don't dare to believe them, so naturally there is a gap between the two sides, and there are many fewer things that breed love and malpractice. ”

"Third. Killing chickens and making an example of monkeys and the like is disdainful of the minister. If you want to kill, kill the monkey directly, as long as you kill this batch, how many judges will dare to reach out in the future? Zhu Cihong said

This is to kill people with a knife, to capture the old people, to watch the fire from the other side, and to go up to the house to draw ladders...... Chongzhen really understood what it meant to be "scheming".

"The small gestures that come at hand are not worth mentioning." Zhu Cihong smiled and said solemnly: "Father, the sons and daughters are going to go to Zhongdu to see if there is any way to manage the rural peasants without disturbing the people." ”

Chongzhen was puzzled: "Why do such a thankless thing? Do you want to appoint officials in every village? How can the state bear such a large expense. ”

"There's always a way." Zhu Cihong said.

Chongzhen saw that Zhu Cihong was so persistent, and asked about the tax system and the issuance of banknotes, and acquiesced to Zhu Cihong's idea of going to Fengyang.

The reason why Zhu Cihong chose Fengyang instead of Nanjing was precisely because he planned to make it difficult to go from Jane. Fengyang is not a rich place, and it is often disturbed by the Huanghuai flood, and there has been no real powerful clan in the past hundred years. Zhu Cihong planned to travel south by land from Beijing, so that he could inspect the power of the northern clans along the way and inspect the recovery of people's livelihood.

With the spread of the news, the Metropolitan Procuratorate launched a campaign to check the officials of the prefectures and counties along the way; The officials also sent people to take the test in advance, which can be regarded as grinding guns in battle, and it is not fast or light.

Zhu Cihong did not delay, since he decided to leave, he notified Lu Suyao that night and asked her to arrange for people to go south first and prepare to leave. As for the holy decree of the mausoleum, it is also immediately desirable and does not delay time. Xiao Mo personally led the guards of the First Division to the south, and the outer defensive circle of Gyeonggi was handed over to the Third Division and the Cavalry Division.

Jinyiwei had the heaviest task, and Xu Dian rushed to the outside of the fortress that night to arrange an intelligence alarm cordon against the Tartars, so as not to prevent the prince from walking on their back feet. On the one hand, he had to send the Han generals who accompanied Zhu Cihong to the south of Nanzhen Fusi, not only to look good, but also to be able to protect the prince's safety. He always wanted to include Min Ziruo's personal guards in the Jinyi Guard, but the crown prince was not optimistic about this.

Naturally, Dongchang could not be left behind, and it was launched by all, putting all the post stations and villages that the crown prince passed under surveillance.

On the third day, on the day when Zhu Cihong was about to leave, Lu Suyao got the "Family and Country and the Four Directions of the World" transferred in by the General Political Department. The most rearly noted is from Dali Temple.

Lu Suyao only saw the word "patriarchy", and remembered the small block of the word "sect" in His Royal Highness the crown prince, and her heart moved, and she put this piece on the top.

When Zhu Cihong saw this recital, he thought that Li Mingrui had an idea, but when he unfolded it, it was presented by a Dali Temple named Feng Yuanhui.

Judging from the text, this temple does not read much, and the problems that can be solved by a simple allusion are a bunch of verbose ones, and it is both "A and B" and "hypothesis".

But after looking closely, Zhu Cihong's brows expanded.

Although the writing is not good, this temple does have a good understanding and thinking about the clan and the patriarchy. In this era, there are definitely not many people who can realize the clan's conflict with the national law, and even Li Mingrui does not know this as deeply as him. What's more, this Feng Yuanhui can also raise this resistance to the ideological level, believing that restricting his children from sticking to farming is not beneficial to the current Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty has reached a stage where more people need to participate in free movement and become wage workers.

This assertion is much bolder than Zhu Cihong's, because another reason for not moving the clan lightly is the uncontrolled generation of displaced people, and whether the weak Ming industry and commerce can absorb so many people. Before going through the economic census, Zhu Cihong did not dare to easily rely on his brain to make up his conclusions.

"Let this person come to me." Zhu Cihong said, and immediately saw that the time on the table clock was already time to go. He added: "Take him directly into my carriage." ”

Lu Suyao nodded yes, and while sending someone to find Feng Yuanhui of this Dali Temple, he ordered someone to quickly replace the crown prince's carriage with a special carriage for the reception. Although there is no difference between the two carriages in appearance, the interior seating layout is like a small guest hall, with the crown prince sitting in the center, and you can directly see the courtiers on both sides of the carriage.

After Feng Yuanhui failed to recommend himself to Li Mingrui, he returned to his residence and wrote the book "The Four Directions of the Family and the Country". During his time in Dali Temple, from the grassroots level to the temple office, he experienced different links in judicial practice and legislative preparation, and there was already a vague shadow floating in his heart.

This time, the crown prince asked about the "clan patriarchal law", which seemed to be aimed at only a few small problems, but what was hidden behind it was the crown prince's hope to control the entire Ming Dynasty with a national law. This is the reason why Feng Yuanhui has the confidence to stand in front of Li Mingrui, and it is also the reason why he is reluctant to convey it through Li Mingrui - he can't convey it clearly, and many words can only be understood but not spoken.

Grasping this core, Feng Yuanhui deduced it backwards, writing from his home country to the four corners of the world, inadvertently breaking through the scope of domestic law and entering the field of international law. In this regard, he only relied on his instinct and the rhetoric of the literati of the past dynasties to draw a blueprint for the future international rules, with the Ming Dynasty as the main body and the four directions of the world as the wings.

Not only Zhu Cihong, but Feng Yuanhui himself didn't pay much attention to the latter part, and both of them focused on the part of the clan patriarchy in the front. No one knows the Dao, this piece of music later came out of an abridged version, deleted the clan part, and the excerpt is the application of the Ming Law to the four corners of the world, and it has become a must-read article for law students.
