Chapter 49: Influencing Incense
Let this little rabbit talk about it again, Zhu Yuanzhang is afraid that his little brothers will go on strike directly.
"Does that need to be said? All the time is spent on work, where is the time to get to know the mother-in-law? β
"I don't have time to get to know my mother-in-law, how can I have a baby?"
"If you can't have a child, won't the incense be broken?"
Zhu Ying explained with disdain.
"Nonsense!"
"Mother-in-law put it in your room, don't you sleep all night, do you still need time to get acquainted?"
"You little rabbit, it's just nothing to find fault!" οΌ
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice landed, and everyone nodded one after another.
This is a feudal era, marriage does not need so many fancy intestines in the 21st century, most of the princes and generals are political marriages, and the common people are also the words of their parents.
Basically, before getting married, the two of them didn't even see each other once.
Therefore, Zhu Ying's point of view was naturally incomprehensible to this group of ancients.
"Okay, even if you make sense!"
"But think about it, what if you get transferred?"
"The little money in the imperial court, I can only take care of myself starving to death, but I don't have any surplus food to drag my family with me!"
"The imperial court clearly stipulates that the minimum time to go to any place is three years, how many holidays are there in these three years? Nine days! It's not connected yet! β
"Even if you are lucky enough to have three years, when you go home, maybe a son who can make soy sauce will pop up."
"What's that? You're not at home, how can your son pop out? β
"You're a prairie overhead!"
When Zhu Ying's words landed, Lan Yu couldn't help but taunt.
But the rest of them were thoughtful.
Zhu Ying's words are not rough, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty are not high, so they are in various reasons, and most of them go alone.
The resulting problems are also obvious.
What's more, at this time, whether it is transportation or communication, it is not very developed, let alone meeting each other, I am afraid that even letters can rarely be exchanged.
Therefore, many elderly people are empty nesters, and many children are left-behind children.
The officials of the Ming Dynasty who have experienced this have long been full of resentment, but Emperor Hongwu is too violent, so no one has dared to stand up and speak.
Unexpectedly, the eldest grandson of the Great Ming Emperor would point it out bluntly.
Zhu Yuanzhang blushed again.
Zhu Yuanzhang himself is a well-known workaholic, and he feels that if he leads by example, others will be like him.
What's more, in Zhu Yuanzhang's opinion, he couldn't even fill his stomach when he was a child, and the place where he lived was neither sheltered nor rainy.
Now these officials at least don't have to go hungry, although the holidays are a little less, but they are paid.
We're already magnanimous!
How dare you be dissatisfied?
Believe it or not, we cut you guys?
"There is some truth to it!"
After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded reluctantly.
"What is this?"
"Being an official in Daming, these are nothing!"
"The worst thing is that your head may be cut off one day!"
Zhu Ying didn't give everyone a chance to breathe and continued.
"Where does this begin? Isn't that a bit alarmist? β
Prince Zhu Biao frowned, and couldn't help but refute.
"Cut! Do the math yourself, how many officials are beheaded every year in our Ming Dynasty? β
Zhu Ying's voice landed, Zhu Biao thought about it, and then returned: "More than a thousand people!" β
"Then Ben Gongzi will ask you again, how many officials are there in our Ming Dynasty?"
"If Your Majesty is in a bad mood, the speed at which this official loses his head is even faster than when an official takes office!"
"Do the math yourself, Daming, the official, is it not as good as a dog?"
Zhu Ying returned with a serious face.
"What? Your Majesty kills those who deserve to be killed! β
"The officials who were beheaded are all corrupt and perverted the law!"
"This kind of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, if you don't kill them, will you keep them for the New Year?"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he immediately became dissatisfied.
Although it is true that there are many officials whose heads are cut off by us every year, ask yourself, every single one of them is damned.
We can have a clear conscience, as long as you abide by the law and be honest and honest, we can't kill a good official by mistake, but we will never let go of a corrupt official!
"There is some truth to it!"
"But, you're just standing up and saying that you don't have a backache!"
"You are a military attachΓ©, and you are in a place like Jinling, so you can have a little gray income."
"But what about the officials in the field? Are they comparable to you? β
"Three years! I haven't seen my wife and children for three years, everyone is an adult, who doesn't have a need? Can you stand it? β
"Don't say anything else, just say that there are so many jobs, and the little brother is still pitiful, what if you don't find a helper?"
"So you see, the problem is coming back again, whether it's picking up your wife and children, or looking for a helper, you need silver!"
"The little money of the imperial court is naturally not enough!"
"Don't talk about them, even if I become an official of the Ming Dynasty, I have to find ways to make some extra money!"
"So the core problem is that the imperial court is too picky!"
Zhu Ying looked disdainful.
During the Hongwu period, unlike the later Ming Dynasty, officials earned a lot of unspoken rules, and officials at this time did not dare to engage in those fancy intestines.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt officials and corrupt officials very much, and even clearly stipulated that embezzlement of more than 60 taels is a dead end, and if it is less than 60 taels, he will be exiled.
Therefore, in Daming, it is not surprising if you see that you are fine when you go to the court early in the morning, but you become a prisoner in the afternoon.
Later, there was even an extremely strange acre, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty were nine times out of ten who were substitutes.
So much so that you can even see the phenomenon of officials in the public court carrying torture instruments and going back to jail after work.
"So you see, get up early and be greedy for darkness, be a cow and a horse, earn less, and worry about being cut off your head, this is our Ming official!"
Zhu Ying said lightly.
"Huh? What's the thunder? β
"I forgot to collect my clothes at home!"
"I'm going home to collect my clothes!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's old face turned red again, and he casually found an excuse, and went directly to the thirty-six schemes.
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang left, the rest of the people naturally did not dare to stay.
"I said old wishes, can you change your excuse next time? Just slip away? β
......
Along the way, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent in thought.
How did these laws, which I drafted myself up early and greedily, end up in the mouth of that little rabbit cub, and they are so inappropriate?
Is there really a problem?
"Lao Wu, let's ask you, how much do you agree with what the little rabbit cub said?"
The more Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, the more wrong it became, so he simply turned his head to look at Wu Lin beside him and asked.
"Back to Your Majesty, although the emperor's eldest grandson has some exaggerated elements, it is basically true."
"Especially for the insights on the life of officials, Wechen can be regarded as having personally experienced it."
"Let's not talk about officials from other places, Weichen himself is a living example!"
"If it weren't for Weichen going down to the court and planting a few acres of land by himself, he would not be able to support a family with just a little bit of money from the court!"
