Emperor Zhu is ready to return their greedy money to the people!?

Hearing the news, the crowd was stunned, and the entire restaurant was silent for a while: this is an unprecedented thing! The emperor's holy light is rare throughout the ages.

In the past, the dynasty raided corrupt officials, and the money copied fell into the pockets of the imperial court. Or that a small part fell into the pockets of the imperial court, and most of them fell into the pockets of another person.

Transfer money from one person's pocket to another's pocket.

It has nothing to do with the people.

It is the first time in history that the confiscated money has been returned to the people.

In the past, the court punished the greedy officials, and it was two tigers who grabbed food and eaten, whether it was the tiger that grabbed the piece of fat in its mouth, and the small animals at the bottom could only look at it with their eyes.

But now Emperor Zhu's approach is to give fat meat to those small animals who can't afford to grab food.

"It seems that in all dynasties, it's not that the emperors don't have a good way to benefit the people, but they just don't want to." The old man sighed, "As long as he really wants to be good to the people, the people will live a good life every minute." ”

Emperor Zhu benefited the people, it was so simple and rude, and he directly paid money.

There are no bells and whistles.

There are no requirements to apply.

"And there's more." Take the Daming Daily, "The newspaper also wrote that the 300 officials in Jiangnan Province were reported by the people. In the future, the corrupt officials there will be dismissed, and they will distribute the money they have embezzled to the people there! ”

"Your Majesty's move is clever!" The old man couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Perhaps none of the drinkers present could see the cleverness of this move, but he could see that he was an old man who had read poetry and books after all.

Moreover, after the Ming Dynasty 'went to Confucianism and returned to Taoism', he also read a lot of Taoist classics, and he was able to comprehend many essences of 'establishing a country with Taoism'.

After Emperor Zhu's practice spread throughout the Ming Dynasty, the people of the Ming Dynasty would enthusiastically report them in the future. Because as long as the report is successful, they can get a share of the money.

In this way, the people's supervisory role over the officials will be brought into play.

Be fully mobilized.

Once this practice is carried out, the civil and military officials will surely tremble, because there are countless pairs of eyes staring at them behind them, so that they will not dare to blatantly mess around.

"The living environment of officials is like this, doesn't no one want to be an official?" Someone asked.

"Nobody wants to be an official, that's in line with the natural world." The old man said, "The smaller the privileges of the officials, the more ruthless the status is suppressed, and the happier the people's lives." ”

"The less the people are in front of them, the less they feel inferior."

"The old man has a thorough understanding of Mr. Qin's establishment of the country with Taoism!" The crowd sighed.

"I was also a Taoist." The old man said, "The people do not feel inferior in front of the officials, so that the equality of all beings in the natural society is realized." ”

"When the people saw those prefects and county orders on the street, they didn't subconsciously want to kneel, and they didn't feel weak legs. Realize those prefects of the county, and work part-time with ordinary people after work. ”

"The wife of the prefect of the county order also has to be a nanny for others and clean and clean."

"Think about the phenomenon of the dynasty before the Ming Dynasty, those county orders and prefects are all people. Don't talk about the prefect of the county order, it's just a small official in the government office, who looks above the top wherever he goes. ”

"In front of them, the people are subconsciously obscene, timid, and humble like ants."

"Makes sense!! What the old man said makes so much sense! The crowd said. It seems that they also empathize with this phenomenon. They used to see officials at the county level, and it was difficult for them to reach the sky. Those prefects of the county, like gods on high, are unattainable. When they see them, they feel as small as ants.

"Mr. Qin's concept of establishing the country with Taoism is to position officials as carnivorous creatures such as lions, tigers, jackals, etc., and to position the people as herbivorous creatures such as yellow sheep, white rabbits, and pheasants." The old man continued to explain to the crowd that the country should be established by Taoism, "The lion and the tiger are the natural enemies of the goats and the white rabbits, and those officials in the court are the natural enemies of the people. ”

"Only by positioning those officials who hold the weapons of power as the natural enemies of the people, and the people who have no ability to resist like goats, will they not be allowed to eat and drink."

"People have selfish intentions, and the pursuit of interests is the way of heaven."

"Therefore, those officials can never be saints, and once they are in power, they will benefit themselves."

"They are going to profit for themselves, just as a lion and a tiger want to eat a rabbit, it's inevitable."

"But the natural world can't do without lions and tigers."

"Therefore, what we need to do to build a country with Taoism is to let those officials bear the same survival pressure as lions and tigers in nature."

But the reality is that the officials of the dynasty live more freely than lions and tigers. They enjoy the power of money beauties, and they don't have to worry about it. ”

"Not bad!"

"Not bad!"

"Reasonable!"

"Reasonable!"

The crowd agreed.

"Establish the country with the Tao, and the Tao is natural!" The old man sighed, "If the Ming Dynasty can really realize the natural world one day, so that those lions and tigers can kill countless goats and hares without moving their mouths, then my Ming Dynasty can really last for tens of millions of years." ”

"Old man, you said that you established the country with Taoism, suppressed hundreds of officials too harshly, and let them bear the same survival pressure as lions and tigers in nature, will it lead to the lack of officials in the imperial court?" Someone asked.

"You're a sheep, and you're upset for those jackals, tigers, and leopards?" The old man smiled, "The body of a sheep is the heart of a lion and a tiger." Are you worried about the extinction of jackals, tigers and leopards, and there is nothing to eat? ”

"Huh!" The crowd laughed.

"Actually, your worries are a bit redundant, even a little stupid." The old man patiently explained to him, "It is rumored that there is a country overseas, and every one of their rulers will be arrested, but the number of people who want to grab that position has never decreased. In your opinion, no one would rob such a high-risk business, but the opposite is true. ”

"Remember, sheep don't go extinct, and neither do jackals."

"As a sheep, don't go to the living environment of the poor jackal."

"No matter how much pressure on officials to survive, there are people who want to grab it."

"When the day comes, there are not so many people who grab official positions, and they are not so crazy, then it will be natural and in line with the way of heaven. We Chinese people have always pursued the way of heaven. ”

"The natural world is the unity of man and nature."

……

Palace.

Outside the Imperial Study.

Dozens of officials gathered together and waited to meet Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the process of waiting, the quarrel is inexorable.

"The emperor distributed all the confiscated silver taels to the people, and I firmly disagree with this." "Instead of distributing it to the common people, it would be better to use it to build a dam to prevent flooding of the Yellow River." ”
