Chapter 170: Death without regrets

Liu Sanwu expressed the prince's deep worries.

In fact, the prince has known this for a long time. Even knows more than Liu Sanwu.

In the prince's view, what Zhu Yuanzhang wants is a process that does not break or stand. But the problem is that it is easy to break, but it is not easy to stand.

Because of values and other reasons, He Xi is a firm adherence to changing the law. Zhu Yuanzhang is even more powerful, and he doesn't know how to describe his self-confidence. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know that doing this would cause chaos. It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid of these messes at all.

To put it mildly, even if Zhu Yuanzhang has been in peace since the founding of the country. But a lot of the turmoil in private has not calmed down. It's just that some people can't see it.

It's just that the crown prince Zhu Biao is different.

In Zhu Biao's view, although stability is not overwhelming. But it's not a good thing to make a rash move.

More importantly, Zhu Biao does not think that the gentry and the people of the world support this matter.

Needless to say, the gentry of the world. Why don't the people of the world support this thing?

Because the life of the people of the world is too good.

That's right, it's great.

There are standards for good and bad.

In He Xi's view, the people of the world are struggling with survival. Eighty percent of the people, by modern standards, can be regarded as absolutely poor. The Engel coefficient is in the seventy or eighty percent. This day, in He Xi's opinion, there is no way to live, struggling in the sea of suffering. Therefore, He Xi wants to save the people of the world and make the people of the world live a better life.

But the problem is that He Xi never understands the people.

Compared with a few decades ago, when the world was in turmoil, the people were struggling to make a living, they were easy to eat, and their bones were broken for cooking, and it was already a beautiful day to be able to eat.

The people can be happy, but they can't start with worry.

This statement is all too true.

Because the cost of the people at the bottom is too low. Any change may cause the people to fall into the abyss, sell their children and daughters, and still not survive.

So, they instinctively refuse any change.

Even if this change is made, there is an 80 percent chance that it will be good. Because they can't bear the twenty percent of what's bad. And no one can give a 100% success rate for any change.

This begs the question.

As far as the right to speak is concerned, the gentry in the world have far more power to speak than the people. As far as the will is concerned, even if it is a reform that is beneficial to the people of the world, it is difficult for the people of the world to express their willingness to support it. Unless they can't live. will vote with their feet.

Once the law is changed, the only way to do it is to use Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige to silence the world. Otherwise, it's all opposition.

Therefore, the prince pinned his hopes on the Xungui group.

Placed in the power of the military.

After all, in these days, the criticism of weapons is the most important. Any contradiction is a military contradiction in the end. As long as you have the handle of the knife in hand, some messes can be calmed down.

Today, Zhu Biao suddenly found that the knife handle was unstable.

He knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would not happen in one day. But Zhu Yuanzhang will not be there after all. He will eventually ascend the throne, what will he do when that time comes? He may not be able to hold these veterans. If they object. Zhu Biao didn't dare to imagine this situation.

The prince took a few deep breaths, and suddenly said with a wry smile: "Mr. Liu, what can Lone do?" Nothing can be done. Your Majesty has made up your mind. ”

To be honest, the prince did not contradict Zhu Yuanzhang.

It's just that it's different.

The crown prince is very aware that the relationship between himself and his father is not as good as before.

At this time, the opposition is to let the father choose one person between the law change and the son. More specifically, it is to choose one from the great cause of the world and the love of children.

How dare the prince bet on His Majesty, Zhu Yuanzhang will choose the love of his children.

Is he Zhu Yuanzhang?

The crown prince is in the process of changing the law, and he is worried that the throne will be unstable. How can you not be worried, because if you go against Zhu Yuanzhang in this matter, the current storage position will be unstable?

Seeing the prince like this, Liu Sanwu suddenly smiled and said, "It is enough for His Highness to love the people." ”

Liu Sanwu was happy about the prince's attitude.

Because Liu Sanwu saw hope.

In Liu Sanwu's view, the current situation has been extremely bad. The world has only been stable for more than 20 years, and even for more than 20 years, it has not stopped fighting. But most of the people can be called living and working in peace and contentment.

Now, the emperor has such an idea, and he has almost re-buried the hidden danger of the world falling apart.

Very simple.

As mentioned earlier, how can an empire with a huge territory, technology, and backwardness, and it takes half a month or more to transmit news from Beijing to the local area? This question is the answer given by Confucianism. That is the common morality. In modern parlance, it's about bringing everyone together with the same values.

The Emperor must uphold this value.

Soldiers and horses can be strong for a while, only the power of thought. in order to unite the vast empire.

Now the change of the law is to put a knife on this foundation.

Dig your own roots.

In this way, whether the world is stable or not depends on Zhu Yuanzhang alone. Because only Zhu Yuanzhang's strong prestige can suppress all parties in the world.

There are lessons to be learned from this approach.

The ancestral dragon died and Qin died.

This is what Liu Sanwu is most worried about.

Now Liu Sanwu found that the prince had similar thoughts to him, that is, there would be a day in the future when the chaos would be set right. That's enough.

Liu Sanwu secretly said in his heart: "I die without regrets." ”

------

In the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at He Xi's manuscript, frowned slightly, and said, "It's too rough." In particular, a lot of processes are not written. Don't you have any ideas about the various departments of the imperial court?"

Ancient law and modern law are completely different in concept and extension. If you want to think about the administrative system, the provisions in this area belonged to the code system in ancient times, and the administrative system belongs to the administrative law system in modern times.

Zhu Yuanzhang understands one thing very well.

That is, the current system of secretaries supervising the cabinet, five armies, six departments and nine secretaries of the governor's office is not suitable for the future Ming Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang did not think about creating a new system.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang also has to admit one thing, a person's ability has a limit. Zhu Yuanzhang also has his own limits.

The Ming system founded by Zhu Yuanzhang was used by the Ming and Qing dynasties for hundreds of years. However, the system established by Zhu Yuanzhang is just summarized in the ancient Chinese administrative system, and there are naturally places for innovation. And no less. But innovation is not necessarily good.

In any case, Zhu Yuanzhang has a basis and reference in this regard, and there are many Confucian scholars and doctors who provide opinions as references.

But what kind of code system is needed for the future industrialization of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang has a vague feeling. But he didn't know where to start, he didn't know where to start. I don't know where to start.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't really live in the future. His views on the future all come from He Xi.

If Zhu Yuanzhang is more than ten years younger, Zhu Yuanzhang may be confident that he can come up with this set of things. But he is old and can read some of the logic of the industrial age, which is already beyond many people. Then, according to these theories, a new social system suitable for the Ming Dynasty was created.

This is really not something that Zhu Yuanzhang can do.

He Xi said: "Your Majesty, things have to come step by step. The minister thought that the law of the Ming Dynasty should focus on the law, and the administrative system was not in this change. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said, "What's the use of that?" What is the use of merely changing the letter of the law? ”

Zhu Yuanzhang saw it very clearly.

Liu Sanwu, Su Boheng and others can see the problem, how can Zhu Yuanzhang not see it. He knows better than many people, he actually knows, and now is not the right time. But Zhu Yuanzhang knows better that he can't wait for the day when the time is ripe and it will come to fruition.

How many years does it take to promote the new production model to the whole of Daming?

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know.

But he knew he couldn't wait for this day. Since the time is not ripe in his lifetime. It doesn't matter when it starts. In any case, the relations of production can also react on the productive forces. The Soviet Union can be established, why can't the new law of the Ming Dynasty be successfully implemented.

After all, it seems to be a new law, but in fact, it has mature experience and clear goals. This is much better than the Soviet Union.
