Chapter VI: False Discussions
However, seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, everyone didn't dare to say much.
After Yang Yun heard it, he was not angry, but said lightly, "History does not deceive people, after listening to it, you will naturally know." ”
He continued to lecture calmly.
"First of all, what I want to say is the clan system of the Ming Dynasty."
"Everyone should know that the Ming Dynasty adopted a feudal system for the clan, and in all dynasties, the clan was treated the most favorably."
"If you can be born in the Ming Sect, you really don't have to do anything, and you can live a worry-free life."
"What Mr. said is extremely true, the clan relationship in the Ming Dynasty is the best." Zhu Biao said with some pride.
Regarding his father's generous treatment of the clan, Zhu Biao has always been the most supportive.
Because Zhu Biao has a generous personality and cares very much for his relatives and friends.
Hearing Wang Biao's answer, Yang Yun nodded with relief.
"Wang Biao, it seems that you have read the book well and done a good job."
Zhu Yuanzhang's face eased slightly at this time, firstly, because Yang Yun recognized himself in this regard, and Zhu Biao was praised by Yang Yun, and his face was bright.
However, next, what Yang Yun said made Zhu Yuanzhang confused again.
"Speaking of which, I must mention the theory of the hierarchy of human needs."
"Maslow, a social psychologist, has shown why people have to work."
"Because it can meet the five levels of human needs, and by getting the basic survival guarantee, you can gain a sense of trust."
"I learned to take responsibility, so I followed the code of ethics and disciplined myself."
"And, through work, self-fulfillment."
After speaking, Yang Yun paused.
"You can remember these theories first, and later, compare what I said with them, and you will understand."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded as if he didn't understand, and everyone was the same, continuing to pay attention and listen.
"Next, what I want to say is, why does Zhu Yuanzhang treat the clan so well?"
"It is said that there must be a reason for everything, and this reason must start from Zhu Yuanzhang's background, he was born in a poor peasant family, and when he was a child, his relatives starved to death because they couldn't eat."
"Influenced by traditional ideas, he always envied a family with many children and many blessings."
"Moreover, the small serf has a serious mentality, and after becoming the emperor, he naturally thinks that one person should ascend to heaven with a chicken and dog, which is a kind of compensation for his heart."
"On top of that, he has his own considerations."
"First of all, in order to guard against such dangerous factors as the Yuan Dynasty, he thought of using the people he trusted the most to protect the country, and it was obvious that the clan was the person he trusted the most."
"Some people may say, didn't Zhu Yuanzhang worry that the power of the clan was too great and would affect the imperial power?"
After hearing this, the faces of all the princes were a little strange, and Yang Yun's words pierced their hearts.
Even the courtiers were amazed in their hearts!
Can these words be said in front of Zhu Yuanzhang?
Yang Yun didn't know the true identity of the person listening to the lecture, and continued calmly.
"Of course not, Zhu Yuanzhang is also a somewhat talented generation of emperors, and he thinks he has thought of enough preventive measures."
"For example, he asked people to compile some books to teach all the clans not to be ambitious."
"He implemented a system of separation of military powers, and even though the vassal kings developed great military power, they did not have the right to govern the localities."
"This means that the vassal king cannot be supported by the population, so he is naturally unpopular and cannot rebel."
"Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang has many feudal kings, which can play a role in containing each other."
Yang Yun gushed out, these are not nonsense, because he majored in archaeology, and he has read countless books, and he is completely at ease with historical matters.
After Yang Yun's remarks, the most shocked person in the audience was Zhu Yuanzhang, his face was slightly different at this time, but he was trying his best to restrain himself.
Although it seems that he is silent, in fact, his heart is already turbulent.
Because, Yang Yun accurately said all the thoughts in his heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very emotional, Yang Yun was able to control his heart so accurately.
Does he have the magic to probe people's hearts?
In addition to this explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't think of any other possibilities at all.
At this time, the classroom was silent, and the silence was terrifying.
Everyone looked terrified, and the atmosphere in the classroom was like silence before a storm.
Yang Yun said these words, it is impossible for Quan Daming to find a second person who dares to say it in public, even in private, he does not dare!
Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, worried that their breathing was too loud, which angered Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Why is there no sound at all?"
Yang Yun suddenly felt too quiet, so he asked casually.
Seeing his relaxed appearance, everyone was even more shocked!
Zhu Biao's eyebrows are almost connected now, and the proud look on his face just now has disappeared.
But after savoring Yang Yun's words, a vague idea sprouted in his heart.
Without waiting for him to think about it, he heard Yang Yun continue to lecture.
"It seems that everyone is fascinated by it, so I'll continue."
"I want to say that Zhu Yuanzhang is really idealistic."
"I'm going to talk about the three privileges he gave to the clan."
"He didn't just let the clan enjoy the three privileges, but he also ordered that they should be carried out forever."
"It is precisely because of his stupid tricks that he laid the root of the curse for future generations, which made it difficult for the Ming Dynasty."
After hearing this, not only Zhu Yuanzhang, but everyone, including Zhu Biao, all set their eyes on Yang Yun.
"The first privilege: all the descendants of the clan are supported by the imperial court."
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was very puzzled, this is not a normal thing, there is also a problem with this?
Without waiting for him to question, Zhu Yuanzhang heard Yang Yun's voice again.
According to records, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, Zongfanlu rice was paid according to the "mouth", and as the historical process of the Ming Dynasty was pushed back, Zonglu's expenditure became more and more. ”
"I remember that in the "Rapid Growth of the Clan Population and Temperance Measures in the Ming Dynasty", it was clearly recorded that the number of clans in the Hongwu period was only 58."
Yang Yun paused with interest and asked everyone, "You can guess, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, what was the population of the clan?" ”
When he asked this, everyone was speechless, how can you guess this?
Out of thin air?
Besides, the clan is a matter of royal decency, how can it be argued.
"Please give me advice!" Zhu Biao said.
"Then I will announce it, by the end of the Ming Dynasty, there will be 5,000 direct clan relatives and 600,000 all clan members."
"Six hundred thousand!?" Zhu Biao was shocked and blurted out.
After realizing the gaffe, he immediately shut up.
In fact, he was not the only one who was shocked and shocked, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't hold back at this time, and his face was shocked!
