"The emperors of the past generations really attached great importance to fame and wanted to be remembered for eternity." Qin Yu said, "Among the names of the emperors of the past dynasties, there are martial arts, literature, Xuan, and Ming Ruijing, and the peaceful ones are like mourning and mourning, and the evil ones are strong and so on. ”

"Yes, who doesn't want a good name, emperor?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "We think that the nickname of Renzong should be the best." "It seems that I am a little envious of that benevolent word.

"What's so good about Renzong?" However, Qin Yu was a little unimpressed, "Among the ancient emperors, Emperor Wu was really 'martial', and whether Renzong was really 'benevolent' is debatable." ”

"What do you mean by that?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Renzong was only good to the civil official group, so a group of civil officials sang praises to him in the history books. Even the "Historical Records" is mixed with Sima Qian's personal feelings, not to mention the later history books? ”

The emperor was good to the civil official group, and the historian gave him the nickname of Renzong.

The historian will also make up a series of 'inspirational stories' for him. For example, when people don't have enough to eat, they will cry; The spittle of the civil official flew to his face, and he wiped it clean and continued to listen......

As soon as I heard these little stories, they were made up by the civil official group, and what spit flew on the face and wiped it clean by himself, not to educate the emperor in the future to be kind to the civil officials who admonished, not to kill him, not to punish his nine clans.

The so-called Renzong is that the emperor elevates the status of civil officials very high, and the emperor obeys the words of civil officials and treats them as teachers. Then the civil officials became the best people in society, and as for the life and death of the people, the civil officials did not bother to care.

For example, the most famous Song Renzong.

During the period of Song Renzong, he was defeated with Western Xia. Dozens of peasant uprisings broke out in the country

Fan Zhongyan and Fu Bi implemented reforms at this time, and Song Renzong obeyed the two of them. The feudal dynasties of the past dynasties would never have taken the initiative to change the law if it were not for the social contradictions that stimulated the Tao to be out of control.

The reason why Mingrenzong Zhu Gaochi got the word 'benevolence' was because as soon as his father Zhu Di died, he immediately released Yang Shiqi and Jian Yi from the prison, and the three of them hugged their heads and cried, and then reused the three of them who were all civil officials.

So the civil official group made up a story for him, explaining that Renzong wept bitterly when he saw the victims in Shandong.

In fact, it was this Zhu Gaochi who interrupted Zheng He's voyage to the West and burned the valuable navigation materials accumulated by Zheng He.

"You say Renzong is not good?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in surprise.

"The emperor who can make the people live well and sincerely think about the people is the real Renzong." Qin Yu said, "What's just good for the civilian group?" This world belongs to the people, not to the civilian clique. ”

"Mr. Qin's words won my heart." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

"Therefore, the Renzong of all dynasties can't afford to be a benevolent character. If you want to say who is the real Renzong in history, I think Zhu Yuanzhang, who is the best for the people. However, he is the founding emperor, and he can only use the nickname Ming Taizu. Qin Yu said.

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma heard this, their eyes widened.

Zhu Yuanzhang trembled with excitement, he didn't expect Mr. Qin to give himself such a high evaluation!

……

"Mr. Qin, I have another question in mind, and I want to ask Mr. for advice." Queen Ma Road.

"Why use the word consult? When we talk about history here, it's just a matter of chatting and playing when we're bored, and there's no need to be so formal. Qin Yu said.

"Mr. said before that in the southwest, the local tyrants will be beaten, the land will be divided, and the people will get the land, and after a long time, new landlords may be produced." Queen Ma said, "In addition, if overseas trade is developed on a large scale, there will be many more businessmen like Shen Wansan." ”

Queen Ma is still very far-sighted and capable, and before Zhu Yuanzhang grew up, she was engaged in many internal affairs.

"yes, what if that happens?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked. He knew Shen Wansan's economic strength, he was richer than the imperial court and richer than the treasury.

Zhu Yuanzhang was jealous of him because of this, and later raided his home.

If there are too many people like Shen Wansan, it will not be a good thing for the imperial court. If they are left alone, then they will manipulate the national economy and shake the imperial court.

The problem of landlords is the same, new landlords are born, and other people will have a hard time.

"Let's start with the land issue." Qin Yu said, "In ancient times, land was allowed to be bought and sold, and land was privately owned, so that new landlords would inevitably arise. Some people are lazy, and they don't plant the land they give them, and when they can't afford to eat, they sell the land. Some people are hardworking and flexible, produce a lot of food, and after accumulating a certain amount of wealth, they will buy other people's land. ”

"In addition to diligence and laziness, there are those who occupy other people's land by despicable means. Over time, new landlords appeared. ”

"It's okay to be private, after all, everyone wants to own a piece of land that belongs to him."

"Even a child wants to have a private space of his own, let alone an adult? Every person and every family has their own privacy and does not want to be disturbed by any outsiders. ”

"It's like a wolf in nature needs a den of its own."

"Not bad!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"So for all people, their housing, and the small plots of land near it, should be allowed to be absolutely private. In this way, the privacy of the people is guaranteed and the happiness of all is guaranteed. ”

"Devouring the Starry Sky: Signing in to Become a God"

"If it weren't for the master's violation of the law, even the servants of the court were not allowed to trespass."

"The people are not demanding, they just want to have a small place of their own. Just as every animal in nature has its own nest, this is in line with the way of nature and the way of heaven. ”

"Yes, the court must do things in accordance with the way of heaven." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"But it's not absolutely private." Qin Yu said, "Only every family is allowed to own one and a half acres of private land, so that everyone can build a house on it and build a small garden to live and work in peace and contentment." The rest of the land was to be returned to the imperial court, and private sales were not allowed. ”

"Unrestricted private ownership will only lead to serious land annexation later. Land is the most important resource of the imperial court, and it must be strictly controlled, and the sale and purchase must be strictly controlled. In this way, the problem of the feudal aristocracy annexing land was eliminated from the root. ”

"In ancient times, because the emperor did not pay much attention to land, he gave thousands of acres of land to the founding heroes and thousands of acres of land to the vassal kings. This led to the evil dragon of the family clan that later confused the imperial court, and was raised by them themselves. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood when he heard this: it turned out that controlling most of the land in the hands of the imperial court was the only way to put an end to land annexation.
