Chapter 443: Lonely, This Is a Violation of Heavenly Rules!
Lao Zhu was indeed angry.
With more than 13 million hectares of land, even if these people are greedy for a fraction, they will not make him so angry.
However, these guys who have lost their conscience have wiped out 10 million hectares, and they have left him with a fraction!
What's even more hateful is that this fraction is not for him alone, but to manage all the expenses of the army, the imperial court, and relief in the whole country.
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill, kill, kill!"
Lao Zhu stared at the scarlet eyes and shouted a series of "kill!" to the kneeling officials below.
He didn't know who to kill, he only knew that there was monstrous anger in his chest, and not killing it was not enough to vent the anger in his heart!
The kneeling officials in the main hall, everyone was frightened as if they were sifting chaff, for fear that the evil dragon on the side of the dragon chair would stretch out its claws and take them out to slaughter and bleed.
"Your Majesty spares your life!"
"Your Majesty...... Spare your life......
Zhu Yunxi listened to the wailing of the officials, and he also felt a little resentful in his heart.
These people are too ruthless, and they only left a fraction for the emperor's grandfather!
Although there are many technical problems here, such as statistical problems and map drawing problems, the low-level officials know that there are at least six or seven million hectares of land that they are brazenly greedy and occupy!
This amount alone is twice the number of acres reported to the imperial court!
"Imperial grandson, we know it's wrong, please save us, woo woo woo ......
"Imperial grandson, you have always been benevolent and righteous, please say something for us......
When everyone heard someone asking for help from the emperor's grandson, one by one as if they were grasping a life-saving straw, they crawled in front of Zhu Yunxi, hugged his thighs and wailed.
"Grandpa Huang, if you deal with it like that, Da Ming will say that tens of millions of people will die."
"It's too expensive, so let's reduce it."
"For example, catch one or two in each county and kill them to give a wake-up call to the officials of the world."
When Zhu Yunxi said this, he turned around and looked at the crying court officials.
"Above the court, a few are also killed according to a certain proportion, and they can be scared and frightened."
Lao Zhu also regretted it after saying that, because the officials involved in the inventory of acres of land were less than 100,000 people.
If these races are punished, then at least a million will be implicated.
Now seeing the eldest grandson pleading, he immediately borrowed the slope to get off the donkey road.
"Good!"
"We'll leave this matter to you, you can watch the killing!"
"But don't kill too few, less than 10,000 people, we're not happy!"
At the beginning, when everyone heard that the old emperor handed over this matter to the imperial grandson, they all breathed a sigh of relief in their hearts, and their hearts finally had a chance to live.
Now I heard that the old emperor also set a "death target" for the imperial grandson, and they scolded angrily in their hearts.
The old emperor is also too yin, how can he play like this!
Before the case was tried, the number of people to be sentenced to death was given, didn't this force officials all over the world to attack each other and dissociate themselves from each other!
Everyone scolded and scolded, but subconsciously began to think about how to get rid of themselves.
It is a crime of dereliction of duty to find that there is a cat who deliberately turns a blind eye and dies.
But even this crime was enough for the old emperor to be sentenced to death.
Therefore, they can only pin their hopes on the imperial grandson, hoping to make a living from him.
Zhu Yunxi also had a headache when he heard the 10,000 death target given by Lao Zhu, but he was more distressed.
"Grandpa Huang, rest assured, the grandson will handle this matter seriously!"
"Next, the grandson will try the new policy in Daming!"
Lao Zhu originally planned to try it out in Shandong first, and then promote it to the whole country after it has achieved results.
Now that he was angry with the officials of the Ming Dynasty, he didn't care about the effect in Shandong, and directly agreed to Zhu Yunxi's request.
"Then let's promote it nationwide!"
"From now on, we will be Ming
From the royal family to the common people, no matter who planted our fields, they had to pay taxes to us!"
"Imperial Grandpa Shengming!"
Zhu Yunxi slapped Lao Zhu on the back, and hurriedly ran forward and helped Lao Zhu back.
After Lao Zhu and Zhu Yunxi left the main hall, Qin Deshun and Wang De shouted in unison.
"Retreat!"
It's just that unlike in the past, when the word "retreat" was shouted today, not a single official in the DPRK and China was willing to leave.
They all waited anxiously for the verdict of the imperial grandson and their fate.
Zhu Yunxi helped Lao Zhu back to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and comforted Lao Zhu for a while, and then returned to the Fengtian Palace.
Zhu Yunxi saw that none of them left, and couldn't help but smile and say.
"Yo Ho!"
"Didn't you just say that you had retreated, why didn't you leave?"
"Back to His Royal Highness, Chen Zongli, the head of the household, has something to say......
When Chen Zongli heard this voice, he glared back unhappily, and then stepped forward on his knees and said.
"Your Highness, the old minister has the courage to speak a fair word for the ministers."
"In the last Yellow Book Fraud Case, although the officials of the DPRK and China were not directly involved, they were also ventilated from time to time in private, which is a secret communication and is suspected of indirect benefits......
"However, no one in the DPRK and China knows that it can be so bad!"
"Even the old man was shocked when he heard the figures spoken by the emperor's grandson, and he never imagined that the total number of acres of land that Hongwu had cleared in the twenty-fourth year would be 10 million hectares different from the actual situation!"
"If we are said to be innocent, then the law of the land will not tolerate it, and the law of heaven will not tolerate it."
"But if we are guilty, we are only guilty of negligence, or we did not expect the corruption of the low-level officials to be so shocking......
"I also hope that the emperor's grandson Mingjian, give me a chance to make meritorious contributions!"
The officials kneeling behind Chen Zongli heard this and said in unison.
"Yes, yes!"
"Please also ask the imperial grandson for forgiveness, and give me a chance to make meritorious contributions!"
When Zhu Yunxi saw everyone saying this, he immediately ordered someone to move his chair over and sit in front of everyone.
"You are wise, and you know that you are relying on Lord Chen, so you pushed him out to intercede."
"However, it's not that I don't want to help you in this matter, you just heard it, the imperial grandfather has set the number of death sentences, and if you don't kill enough 10,000, the imperial grandfather will not be able to explain it!"
"Kill whomever you say!"
As soon as Zhu Yunxi's words came out, everyone was sweating on their heads. They wanted to say that they could kill the low-level officials, but the low-level officials were also their friends of the same year, relatives and blood relatives, and they might kill acquaintances.
But if you don't say it, wouldn't you force the imperial grandson to kill yourself?
When the officials hesitated, Zhu Yunxi took out another note from his sleeve.
"Actually, just now, there was still a note that Gu didn't hand over!"
"Alone, here is the number of acres of land in the hometown of the Korean and Chinese lords......
"There are hundreds of hectares, and there are ten or eight hectares of less."
"You have always said that being an official is hard, but now that you look at it, where are you not clear?"
"You have much more from the collection of rent than you have from your income."
When the officials heard this, they all bowed their heads in shame.
Only a few officials such as Chen Zongli did not bow their heads, and looked at Zhu Yunxi proudly.
They are the only few clean people in the court, who have no land in their hometowns and no property in Beijing, and they all live on the meager fortune and the filial piety of the provincial political envoys.
In general, the food is considered clean money.
Zhu Yunxi finished counting the civil officials, and then looked at the generals.
"Go back first, there's nothing wrong with you here!"
"Huh?"
Feng Sheng and the others also have a lot of land in their homes, although some of the land is rewarded by His Majesty the Emperor, which is a reasonable and legal income.
But who expects a reward to get by?
Daming Chengping has been in peace for 20 years, who is not sneaky, even buying and cheating to engage in a lot of grange industries?
If you strictly count it, there is no clean one on the side of the military generals and nobles!
"Your Highness, we ...... We were wrong, and when we went back, we cleared the land and gave it all to the tenants who farmed it......
"Good!"
When the generals and nobles received Zhu Yunxi's reply, although they all felt pain in their hearts, they were still full of gratitude.
In the end, he is the grandson of King Kaiping, and he is close to their generals, and he does not forget to take care of them at this time.
The civil officials above the court saw the generals shaking their heads and leaving, and their envious faces were distorted.
The imperial grandson is clearly biased towards these big bosses, right?
However, there are also some civil officials Qingliu who expressed their understanding, believing that this is a gentle means of the imperial grandson.
After all, their civil rebellion has not been successful for ten years, and if the military generals are uneasy and soothed, Daming will be in chaos in an instant.
"Lone knows that you have resentment in your hearts, and you feel that Lone's handling is unfair."
"But the tax law of the Ming Dynasty is a pitfall, and the group of military households, nobles, and military generals is not the same thing as you, and you are not qualified to compare with them."
"People are pinned their heads to the waistband of their trousers, which is the wealth and fame they have earned, you just use the pen, you have to sit, the soft sedan car has picked up a lot of cheapness!"
"But don't worry, Lone also has a plan for the generals, and he won't let them be too arrogant!"
When everyone heard Zhu Yunxi say this, the resentment in their hearts suddenly became much smaller, and they were not as angry as they were just now.
"The Imperial Emperor is wise!"
"I'll take it by heart!"
Zhu Yunxi smiled faintly when he heard this, and he didn't expose their lies.
"Whatever you want!"
"Anyway, the emperor's grandfather has spoken, let Gu first kill 10,000 people to practice!"
"If any of you dare to be disobedient, and still disobey and deliberately fool things like before, then don't blame Gu for writing your name on the death list!"
"Don't dare!"
'Okay, let's get down to business......
"From now on, the six ministries and nine secretaries, each yamen will only leave the necessary officials on duty to ensure the normal operation of the government, and the rest of the officials will all go to the Hope Academy for study and transformation!"
"Learning to transform?"
Zhu Yunxi looked at everyone coldly.
"Your minds are no longer up to date, and if you are clinging to the old ideas of the past, sooner or later you will be left alone on the death list."
"Therefore, in order to ensure that you can better adapt to the future development direction of the Ming Dynasty, you can only be transformed both mentally and physically!"
"After the transformation, the orphan society will send you to the provinces, so that you can personally supervise the implementation of the new policy!"
After Zhu Yunxi said this, he announced the dismissal of the meeting, and then ordered them to go back to prepare and report, early tomorrow morning.
As for himself, he hid in his own Wenhua Palace, and worked with Gao Ming to study how to transform them.
"Your Highness, the old minister thinks that the previous training materials for the princes, grandsons, and children of officials in the DPRK and China are probably not applicable, so we should be more specific this time......
Zhu Yunxi sighed when he heard this.
"Lone has a good textbook, but I don't dare to take it out and use it......
"Which one?"
"Your Highness's book, the old minister has already read it, and I haven't found any suitable teaching materials!"
Zhu Yunxi pointed to his head depressedly.
"This book is in Lone's mind, and Lone hasn't written it yet!"
The reason why Gao Ming stayed with Zhu Yunxi was to make it easier for him to read books.
It's not necessarily how good Zhu Yunxi's books are, but the ideas in many books are really novel, and they will always give him inspiration.
"Ideal country?"
"Political Science?"
"Or is it a utopia?"
Gao Ming reported a series of book titles, but no matter what he said, Zhu Yunxi shook his head firmly.
"Don't be tempted, this book really hasn't been written in your lonely mind, and you haven't read it at all!"
Gao Ming became even more curious when he heard this, and hurriedly asked.
"Your Highness, reveal something, what is this book called, and what is written in the book?"
"This book is called Mao ......"
When Zhu Yunxi said this, he immediately blocked his mouth.
Just give Gao Ming a look at the ideal country, utopia or something, although those books have a certain subversion of feudal society, but they will not subvert themselves and the emperor's grandfather.
If you write out the book in your head that can be called "dragon slayer", you and Lao Zhu will have to be guillotined by counter-revolutionary militants like Gao Ming!
"Don't ask!"
"It's for your own good, if you read that book, Grandpa Huang will have to punish you for the Nine Clans!"
"It's not good, Lone has to be hung up and beaten to death by the emperor's grandfather!"
The more Zhu Yunxi said this, the more curious Gao Ming became, and he scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry.
"Your Highness, since you have such a huge book in your head, it would be a pity not to take it out to train officials."
"Why don't you take some novel ideas from the book and let the teacher read them first, and then modify them a little to use as training materials for our school?"
"That's ......."
Zhu Yunxi fell into hesitation when he heard this.
"Okay, I'll try to write a few ...... at night."
"It's ridiculous!"
Late at night, Mandarin Palace.
Zhu Yunxi kicked out all the eunuchs and guards, leaving him alone in the Wenhua Palace.
There was also a charcoal brazier beside him, and whenever there was a mistake or dissatisfaction with the text, he would not hesitate to throw it into the brazier and burn it.
The book is so voluminous and vast that even a few words will cause an uproar.
Just as Zhu Yunxi was concentrating on writing, he suddenly heard a thunderclap outside the hall.
When Zhu Yunxi heard this thunder, he was so frightened that his wrist couldn't help but shake, and a drop of ink spilled on a line of text.
"Who is our enemy?"
"Who are our friends?"
"This question is the first question of the revolution......
Zhu Yunxi checked the manuscript three or two times before and after receiving it, and couldn't help muttering to himself.
"Could it be that this passage triggered the Heavenly Tribulation?"
"Let's cross it out then......
After Zhu Yunxi crossed out the paragraph, he picked up the pen again and wrote it on the paper.
"Work is not about having dinner guests, not making fuss, not painting and embroidering......
However, after these words were written, there was another thunderclap in the silent night sky.
Zhu Yunxi looked up at the night sky outside the window, quickly put away the pen and paper, and threw all the manuscripts that had been written into the brazier.
Winter thunder!
Lonely, this is a violation of heaven!
