Empress Xu has seen big scenes, such as when hundreds of thousands of troops besieged Beiping, she was stubborn and stubborn, and went to the city in person to encourage the soldiers and boost morale.

Compared with the grandeur of the past, there is another unusual shock outside the Fengtian Gate today.

A large number of people, under the guidance of Jinyiwei, entered from the noon gate, passed through the Wulong Bridge, and came to the bottom of the Fengtian Gate...... This road is exactly what the ministers usually take in the court, and the so-called royal gate listens to the government, which is in Fengtianmen.

Ordinary people never dreamed that they would have the opportunity to enter the core of the Ming Dynasty and experience the authentic royal majesty.

The majestic Fengtianmen, the Han generals in bright armor, and the spacious and flat square all deeply shocked these people.

As the celebrant who presided over the enthronement ceremony, there are really a lot of people today, but fortunately, with the help of Jinyiwei, I finally managed to deal with it.

Most of the people were fortunate enough to enter the noon gate and go under the Fengtian gate.

But the people of Yingtian have a problem with joining in the fun...... Seeing so many people coming in the direction of the palace, they followed behind, wanting to see what was going on.

As a result, it made a sea of people, hugging each other, and seeing that something was going to happen.

Fortunately, Xu Jingchang and Xie Jin came, and when they saw each other, they were all anxious.

Xu Jingchang decisively ordered, "Let the people stop, and those who have not entered the noon gate will stay outside and don't move again." ”

With so many people, Xu Jingchang's order will definitely not be able to do it...... Fortunately, Wang Zhong came with two thousand tax collectors, and Zhu Neng, the Duke of Chengguo, also brought people.

Xu Jingchang breathed a sigh of relief, but also hung his heart, "You all listen and tell all the soldiers that you are not allowed to rush into the people, you are not allowed to be rude and expelled, and you are not allowed to beat and scold...... If anyone spoils today's big event, they will be severely punished! ”

From Xu Jingchang's stern tone, both of them felt that the pressure was as heavy as Mount Tai, and they couldn't be sloppy at all.

In the end, Zhu Neng and Wang Zhong, who had commanded thousands of troops and horses, quickly calmed down, and they asked their soldiers to form a human wall, arm in arm, and separate the people from each circle.

"Don't move, big guys, the Son of Heaven will come to Fengtianmen in a while, and there will be a decree promulgated, everyone can wait here."

Under the arrangement of these two generals, outside the noon gate, they finally settled down.

The crowds of people are listening attentively.

At this time, Xu Jingchang and Xie Jin also entered the noon gate and came to the front of the crowd.

Before them, the six ministries and nine kings, the nobles of the clan, and the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty had all arrived.

Jian Yi and Xia Yuanji and the others didn't bother to look at Xu Jingchang at all.

They all kept their heads down and picked at the ground with their toes.

Fortunately, the floor tiles of the Hongwu Dynasty are of excellent quality, otherwise they would have been cut out of the three-bedroom and one-living room.

This cub surnamed Xu is the source of right and wrong, the scourge of the Ming Dynasty, where is he and where is the matter, expelling him from the court, the whole world is not good.

God, hurry up and get a thunderbolt, just kill him.

Don't bother us a little, the big guy really can't stand the toss.

But obviously, this time it is not only Xu Jingchang who will toss them, but also Zhu Di, the son of tomorrow!

"Your Majesty has arrived!"

With the shouts of the eunuchs from far and near, Zhu Di and the queen, as well as the prince, the prince, and the grandson, boarded the Fengtian Gate.

Symbolizing the appearance of the Son of Heaven Huang Luo umbrella cover on the city tower, the courtiers took the lead in kneeling, and the mountain shouted long live.

Immediately afterwards, the people also knelt down, and the voice of long live rose and fell one after another, and endured for a long time.

Zhu Di stood at the head of the city, looking down at his subjects, his heart surging.

"No courtesy."

When the subjects stood up again, Zhu Di leaned over and said loudly below: "Wait here, what do you have to tell me?" ”

At this moment, Xu Jingchang took the lead and walked to the front of his subjects.

He first saluted Zhu Di, and then said: "Your Majesty, the Battle of Jingyan has been more than a year old. However, during the war, a large number of people were displaced. Some people have become slaves and prostitutes, and the future is precarious. The ministers begged His Majesty to be gracious and make a yellow book for the exiles, and decreed the release of all slaves, to heal their wounds, and to reunite the people. ”

Zhu Di stood on the city tower and already knew what had happened.

He also thought about it repeatedly, what the hell should he say?

In fact, he could take the opportunity to blame Jianwen, scold Jianwen's rebels, and then pardon the slaves and help the people reunite...... It can be regarded as a summary of the Battle of Jingjing.

But when Zhu Di stood on the tower and looked down on his subjects, he suddenly changed his mind.

With such a big momentum, the people gathered in Fengtianmen, if it was just to solve the little thing about themselves and their nephews, it would be too petty.

And Zhu Di is keenly aware that at this time, no matter what he wants to do, no one can stop him.

What six departments and nine qing, what science and Taoism officials, at this moment, no one will hinder themselves, and they dare not obstruct them!

In that case, how could I miss this opportunity?

Zhu Di's brain turned rapidly, when it comes to the ability to do things, who can compare to him? Compared with him, Xu Jingchang is simply the difference between a urine test sample and the Three Gorges flood discharge, who made us a great tomorrow!

Thinking of this, Zhu Di was full of spirit and made up his mind.

"Dingguo Gong, I already know what you have asked. Because of the war, the people wandered around, some of the manpower was weak and weak, and some people were poor and could not survive, so they had to sell themselves into slavery and barely survive. In the fifth year of Hongwu, the imperial examination issued a decree, demanding that all the slaves be released and returned home as good as the will. I uphold the benevolence of the imperial examination, and should also respect the old system of the imperial examination. And the world is gracious, and those who have nothing to make a living and pawn their wives and daughters will be paid in advance by the court to help ransom people. If there is bullying and bullying and forcing the good to be slaves, they will be released immediately. If anyone refuses to let go, they can report to the yamen, and each person will be rewarded with 100 yuan. ”

Zhu Di took out Zhu Yuanzhang's old system, and after saying this, the ministers who were close to Fengtianmen heard it clearly, and they changed their faces and colors one by one, and they were broken, why did Your Majesty also mess around?

Xu Jingchang laughed secretly, good, Zhu Laosi, your ability to use the topic to play really has my essence!

It is not empty words to say that Zhu Yuanzhang is the emperor who cherishes the people the most...... When he ascended the throne, he decreed the release of his slaves, and all of them became beloved.

He also specifically stipulated that in Fujian and other places, it is customary to use eunuchs as slaves, and Zhu Yuanzhang demanded that anyone who found such things and used eunuchs should also be castrated to atone for their crimes, and they should also be sent to the palace as eunuchs.

In addition, Lao Zhu aimed at the war-torn Central Plains region, those who had to sell themselves as slaves and give others as concubines could pay money to redeem themselves according to the original price.

If you can't come up with the money, you can also pay it by the court and redeem it.

Zhu Di took out Zhu Yuanzhang's will and reiterated it.

But the problem is that it is not the end of the Yuan Dynasty for a long time, and Zhu Yuanzhang clearly stipulated that only the families of meritorious heroes can raise slaves and maids, and ordinary civil servants are not allowed.

Now don't talk about Wenchen, even if it is an ordinary rich family, there are a lot of slaves and maids...... If this is the will, will not all the servants be set free?

In this regard, Xu Jingchang just wants to say, well done!

Also excited was Zhu Gaoxu, who was standing not far from Zhu Di, his eyes lit up, and he almost wanted to kneel down and kowtow, shouting his father Shengming!

The biggest problem with his silk workshop was that there were not enough people, not only craftsmen, but also ordinary weavers.

Zhu Gaoxu would be desperate to build a house for the craftsman, just to buy horse bones for thousands of dollars and attract more people to come to him.

Now that Zhu Di's will is down, it is equivalent to forcing the wealthy to release the slaves...... And these freed slaves also need to survive, and the weavers they urgently need will come!

Father, you are so holy.

Don't say anything, start from my Han Palace, release the slaves, and leave no one behind!

This does not mean that there is no one to serve in the palace, and everything has to be done by yourself...... In fact, you can also use maids, but you need to pay for them and hire them at a suitable price.

To put it bluntly, it is from a master-servant relationship to an employment relationship.

The situation of large families, groups of slaves, and many children born to families, who have been slaves for generations, is bound to change greatly.

Zhu Di's hand can be called benevolent!

Then Zhu Di said: "The imperial examination used to stipulate that the people of the world could only take concubines if they were forty childless. I reiterate this decree to anyone who is under forty years of age and has children in the family. still has three wives and four concubines, keeps slaves, and all of them are punished with a hundred rods, and they are assigned to the border! ”

Good fellow, this will is equivalent to a patch on the previous one...... Don't try to use the name of a concubine to cover up the fact of a slave.

All in all, the high-ranking households must release the population under their control.

"Shinong, industry and commerce, are all my people, now the Ming Dynasty is prosperous, not only farming for a living, for the work of craftsmen, there are many places. In the past, the fish scale book was the foundation of the field endowment, and the yellow book was the foundation of the Ding tax...... Now I have specially approved the establishment of the Yellow Book in the city, and anyone who works in the city and does not go home to farm, can also be entered into the Yellow Book, and after being entered into the Yellow Book, there is no need to pay the Ding tax! ”

This will can make all the people happy, even Xu Jingchang didn't expect that Zhu Di's move is really clever!

The biggest problem of the people who go to the city to work is that they are helpless, they are easily sold into slavery, and there is no one to call the shots for them.

Now setting up a special yellow book for them is equivalent to having an identity officially recognized by the Ming Dynasty.

The impact of this change is simply immeasurable.

From now on, people who work hard can straighten their waists!

What everyone wants, His Majesty not only gives, but also gives more!

Son of Heaven Shengming, blessed are the big guys!

"Hooray! Banzai! ”

"Long live my emperor!"

From under the Fengtian Gate, the sound of cheers sounded, and soon spread like a wave, to the noon gate, to the ears of thousands of people.

But the big guy knew the emperor's will, and in an instant it turned into a sea of joy.

Long live the voice, endlessly.

Some people even shouted, "Yongle! Yongle! ”

From outside the noon gate, it was transmitted back to the Fengtian Gate.

"Yongle! Yongle! ”

The people cheered and shouted from the bottom of their hearts.

Empress Xu followed Zhu Di and couldn't help but say excitedly: "Your Majesty, listen, all the people cheer, your will is deeply popular with the people!" ”

Being able to make his wife happy like this, Zhu Di became more and more proud in his heart, this is just an appetizer, I have more important things to announce!

"Look, what I couldn't push in the past, today is going to settle the ledger!"
