Chapter 405: The People Rejoice

"It's only been a few years since this day passed, and you have to pay more taxes and serve in forced labor?" When the crowd heard that they were going to the yamen to register again, they all became worried, afraid that the emperor would give another decree and exploit the people.

China was ruled by feudal dynasties for thousands of years.

Since ancient times, it has been the bitterness of the people and the suffering.

As soon as the emperor had something, he began to loot the people's fat and ointment, let the people bleed, and feed those feudal nobles. There were hundreds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes in the previous yuan, and the life of the people was worse than death.

Therefore the people were afraid.

As soon as he heard that the court had moved, he subconsciously felt scared.

"Uncle Zhou, don't worry, since Emperor Zhu ascended the throne, when did the Ming Dynasty increase taxes and conscription to the people?" A servant who knew the old man said with a smile, "Our emperor will only seek the well-being of the people, not the harm of the people." ”

"That's right." Uncle Zhou smiled awkwardly and said, "After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it was indeed the best period of time for the people. ”

"Especially recently."

"Little Brother Li, since it is not to increase taxes and serve forced labor, why does the imperial court have to register everyone from scratch?" Another woman asked.

"I'll tell you the truth." Brother Li said, "This is the emperor who wants to send money to the people!" ”

"Ten taels of silver to each household."

"The purpose of registering is to create a ticket number for you in the bank, and then store the money in the ticket number. When you want to withdraw money, you can do so at any time. And if you send money again in the future, it will also be sent on this ticket number. ”

"What? The emperor actually sent us money directly!? ”

"And it's ten taels of silver per household!?"

The crowd listened, unable to believe their ears.

After a while, after figuring out that he was not dreaming, the crowd exploded.

"Since ancient times, I have only heard that the imperial court oppressed the people, and this is the first time that the emperor has sent money to the people!" An old man trembled and said, "Thousands of years, thousands of years, this is the first time this situation has appeared!" ”

"Not bad, not bad!" A peddler next to him said, "I originally thought that the emperor would not collect our poll tax, and he would be the first emperor of the ancient and modern times." I never dreamed that the emperor would send us money! ”

"This Emperor Zhu is simply the first saint emperor in the world."

"More than Qin Shi Huang, more than Li Shimin!"

"No, Emperor Zhu is no longer a mortal, he is a god! True God. ”

"He is the Bodhisattva who came down to earth to save us."

"Yes, if the emperor is not an immortal, how can he do this, for thousands of years in the land of China, no emperor can do anything? The emperor is the first in the world! ”

"Emperor Zhu is the one who truly loves the people like a son."

"Compared with Emperor Zhu, the emperors of other dynasties are all garbage who can only shout slogans! They keep saying that they are benevolent and love the people, but they have not seen them do anything that benefits the people. ”

"Emperor Zhu, treat our people as his own people and relatives!" A woman burst into tears as she spoke, "I heard that Emperor Zhu is also from a peasant, and he is really on the same side as us." ”

What she was excited about was not the ten taels of silver, but what she was excited about was that the emperor took the people as his own.

The people of Ying Tianfu are generally rich now, and ten taels of silver are actually not under their words.

But the emperor gave them money, which at least showed an attitude, the emperor was really good to the people.

It's not perfunctory, or just shouting slogans every day.

"Directly send money to the people, this is the real benefit to the people." A scholar who had only been in a private school for two years said, "Because of this, we have passed through layers of officials who are greedy for ink, and they have no way to get it." ”

"If the money is allocated to the officials and let them distribute it, it should have been ten taels of silver per person, but in the hands of the people, it is estimated that it will only be ten cents."

"Even, some people don't even get a penny."

"Those relatives who are officials will get hundreds of cars, thousands of taels."

"The emperor's move not only benefits the people, but also is great wisdom."

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

A group of people spontaneously knelt down and bowed to Emperor Zhu three times and nine times.

The excitement is overwhelming.

As long as the emperor is a little nicer to them, they will know to be grateful to Dade.

Instead, when you are full, you have nothing to do, and go against the emperor.

Again, since ancient times, only the common people will rebel against the court when they have a bad time. I have never heard of it, and it has never appeared, the people are living a good life, and they still have to rebel against the court.

"Let's all get up," said the official Li Xiaoge, "You are here to thank the emperor, and those who bow three times and knock nine times will delay our work." ”

"Let's go to the yamen as soon as possible to register, and please support our work."

"Good, good, good." When the people heard this, they stood up and rushed to the yamen with joy.

"I heard that the emperor is now implementing the rule of Tao and giving money to the people, is it the method of governing the country by Tao?" On the way, Uncle Zhou asked the scholar who had only been studying for two years.

"Of course it is." The scholar said, "These days, I have also changed to Taoist classics. "The Confucian classics have been burned, and he can't read the Taoist classics if he doesn't want to.

"The Yellow Emperor's "Praise Sutra" Zhongyun, those who benefit from the world win the world, and those who are good at the world lose the world."

"Those who can make profits, the Tao is also."

It means that if the emperor and the people of the world share the wealth of the world, they will be able to win the world. The emperor or those scholars and doctors, if they alone own the wealth of the world, then they will lose the world. ”

"The policy of governing the country that can benefit the people's livelihood is Taoism."

"So the emperor's move must be a political policy!"

"Taoism is much better than Confucian governance!" Uncle Zhou said sincerely.

"Of course it's much better, and it's not the same." The scholar said, "For thousands of years in the land of China, almost all dynasties have been governing the country with Confucianism, and the people have lived a good life with Confucianism? ”

"And Emperor Zhu just started to implement Taoist government, and the people immediately got better."

"The emperor cleaned up Confucianism and respected Taoism, and he did it too right!" Uncle Zhou sighed again.

"Actually, you don't know." At this time, Brother Li, the official next to him, said, "The measure of giving money to the people is actually the dean of the Jixia School Palace, Mr. Qin told the emperor." ”

"Although the emperor has implemented the rule of the Tao, he has no clue before."

"It was Mr. Qin's words that woke up the emperor."

"The dean of the Jixia Academy?!" When the people heard this, their bodies trembled.

They had also seen the Jixia School Palace on the top of Zhongshan Mountain, and the School Palace was just like the legendary Divine Palace. When they saw the brilliant and majestic school palace, they subconsciously had an urge to worship.
