Chapter 159 Zhu Yuanzhang who is confused, please teach us from the Holy Father! 【Subscription】

Live room.

A flash of light flashed, and Li Changsheng and Zhu Yuanzhang disappeared into Yingtianfu.

"Hey, where did the real person take Zhu Chongba?"

Looking at the light in the live broadcast room, Ye Fan couldn't help but exclaim.

"Did you take him back to the Flood?"

Lin Meng guessed.

"No, the real man just said that he will tell us the purpose of his visit this time."

Kou Zhong shook his head.

"Just look at it."

Lin Pingzhi stared at the screen expectantly.

"Before Zhenren, he said that he would bring Zhu Yuanzhang to the flood and make him one of the three emperors and five emperors. Could it be that the real person is ready to let Zhu Yuanzhang cultivate, and then he will be the emperor of the throne?"

Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard and said thoughtfully.

"No, the real person said that he wanted to spread the Daoist system, what does this make Zhu Yuanzhang the emperor of the people have to do with spreading the Daoism? Guess the old man is not the case."

Yaochen shook his head and said.

"Hey, we'll see."

Wang Chao pondered for a while, but couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't think about it.

"Indeed, let's keep looking."

Others followed suit.

....

"Buzz ....."

A flash of light flashed, and Li Changsheng took Zhu Yuanzhang to a wilderness.

As far as the eye can see, it is surrounded by vast mountains, and at the foot is a plain, with a small river at the end.

Downstream of the river, there is a small mountain village, surrounded by reclaimed fields, and there is a faint smoke rising from the cooking smoke.

"Dare to ask the Holy Father, where is this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang only felt a flower in front of him, and when he could see, he found that he had come to this strange place.

He swore he had never been to this place, and he didn't know where it was.

"Here, it's the Sizhou Xuanwei Division in the southwest of your Ming border."

Li Changsheng explained lightly: "If you go further west, you will reach the territory of Mengyuan."

Sizhou Xuanwei Division, that is, the Guizhou region of later generations, has always belonged to the wild area, and it is also a place that the Central Plains Dynasty cannot control.

"Oh? Is this Sizhou? Isn't it a thousand miles away from Yingtian?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he didn't doubt Li Changsheng's words, but he was quite in awe of his supernatural powers.

In just an instant, he came from Yingtianfu, which was thousands of miles away, to this poor mountain and remote place.

It's incredible.

"To be precise, this place is about three thousand miles away from Ying Tianfu."

Li Changsheng said lightly: "Poor Dao brought you here to let you see the real situation of the people."

"I see, Father!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and then solemnly bowed to Li Changsheng.

He couldn't hear the meaning of the other party's words, after all, the emperor was high in the temple.

Even if he Zhu Yuanzhang was born at the bottom, it was many years ago.

Only by personally experiencing the hardships of the people at the bottom can we formulate better national policies and treat the people well.

The Father's meaning is that he should not forget the fundamentals and always keep the people in mind.

"No, you don't understand the meaning of the poor way."

Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts in his heart naturally couldn't hide it from Li Changsheng, he glanced at it, and couldn't help shaking his head and said.

Then, Li Changsheng stretched out his hand a little, and a stone table and two stone benches grew out of the ground.

"Sit down, let's have a good talk."

Li Changsheng sat down and motioned for Zhu Yuanzhang to sit down as well.

"Yes, thank you, Holy Father."

After Zhu Yuanzhang thanked him, he sat down according to his words.

"Do you think that after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the world will be very happy, or will they still be the same?"

Li Changsheng changed a set of tea sets,

I brewed a pot of tea, took a sip of tea, and asked lightly.

"Holy Father, is it a test of our statecraft?"

Zhu Yuanzhang carefully took a sip of a cup of tea, and then said:

"Don't hide it from the Holy Father, we come from a humble background, and we don't know a few big characters, so it can be said that we are the most ungodlike emperor in history."

He did not shy away from his past at all, and said loudly: "However, we are still young, only forty years old this year, and we can learn if we don't understand."

"We don't know much about governing the country, but we have a group of old brothers under us to help each other and brainstorm ideas, and we can always formulate a national policy that is in line with our Ming Dynasty."

"These days, we are discussing with Tao An, Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, and Zhu Sheng, how to formulate my Da Ming Law."

"Let's think that those sub-officials are the most cunning and corrupt, and we plan to formulate a series of harsh laws to keep these sub-officials firmly in check, so that they will not harm the people."

"As for the people of the world, then Holy Father, you don't have to worry about it, we ourselves are from a poor family, so we naturally know how to be good to the people."

"Therefore, the Holy Father's question, we think that after the establishment of our Ming Dynasty, the people of the world will live happier than before."

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, and then said with a smile.

Speaking of which, he couldn't help but recall his childhood.

At that time, his family was so poor that the family only had one pair of pants, and only those who went out wore pants, and those who did not go out were nested at home with bare butts.

Moreover, he often did not have enough to eat, and he was hungry three times in one meal, and later his father Zhu Wusi, mother Chen, and eldest brother Zhu Chongsi starved to death one after another.

The Yuan court was unreasonable, brutal and unkind, set all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and exploited the people.

Local officials are corrupt like jackals, and there are four classes of people, which makes the Han people in the world miserable.

Therefore, after becoming the emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang hated those corrupt officials the most, and he had a plan in his heart.

He wants to formulate a very strict Da Ming law to control the officials of the world and prevent them from being corrupt.

"You're talking about the "Da Ming Law", Poor Dao has already seen it in the future, so I'll show you."

After Li Changsheng heard this, he was not surprised at all, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it into the void, as if he had traveled through time and space and grasped the future.

"Whoa..."

It was as if a fish was flowing in the water, and then a thick book was grabbed by Li Changsheng and placed on the stone table.

On the time and space of the future, after four revisions in the first year of Hongwu, the sixth year of Hongwu, the twenty-second year of Hongwu, and the thirtieth year of Hongwu, the "Da Ming Law" was finally completed by Li Changsheng and brought to the current timeline.

"Oh, this is the "Great Ming Law" that you issued to the world in the thirtieth year of Hongwu, you can take a good look at it."

After handing the book to Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Changsheng explained to him.

"Shhh..... Thirty years of Hongwu?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked again, what kind of immortal means is this?

Thirty years of Hongwu, that is, thirty-three years later? Can you reach out and grab an object from the future?

He was shocked by such incredible powers, which he had never heard of.

"It's just a little supernatural power, nothing strange."

Li Changsheng waved his hand and said, "You can take a good look first."

"Yes."

Zhu Yuanzhang forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart, and after answering, he looked down at the "Da Ming Law" in front of him.

Flipping through the table of contents, there are 236 articles in four parts, of which there are 74 articles in the "Great Message", 87 articles in the "Continuation of the Great Message", 43 articles in the "Third Part of the Great Message", and 32 articles in the "Great Decree Warriors".

Zhu Yuanzhang understood that this was what the Holy Father said, and it was the result of a total of four revisions.

The first law, in one volume, is the specific provisions on the five punishments, the ten evils, the eight deliberations, and other sentencing principles, which are the general provisions of the Ming Law.

There are two volumes of the law of the subordinate officials, which are mainly the laws of the officials of the department who violate the law in their duties;

The law of the second household, there are seven

for the regulation of the laws governing household service, farmland, marriage, courses, money and debts, warehouses, and markets;

The Second Rite Law, which has two volumes, is the law of sacrifice and ritual;

There are five volumes of military laws, which are laws for the defense of the court, the fortress of Guanjin, military administration, as well as the law of herding and posting;

The sub-criminal law, consisting of 11 volumes, is the core part of the clear law, including the laws on thieves, wounding and killing, fighting, scolding, accepting stolen goods, fraud, committing female crimes, and litigation, arrest, and prison breaking;

The final law of work, in two volumes, deals with the laws of construction and river defense.

In addition to the five punishments, punishments such as exiles and death sentences were added, and Zhulian also exterminated the nine and ten tribes.

Generally speaking, the spearhead of the Great Decree is aimed at all officials and the people, but the focus is on punishing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and more than eighty percent of the items belong to the administration of officials.

For this later "Da Ming Law", Zhu Yuanzhang is more and more satisfied with it.

Of course, this was originally the law he made in the future, and it naturally suited his heart.

"Okay, this is the clear law in our minds, those people who are scholars are benevolent and moral on the surface, but secretly they are male thieves and prostitutes, so they should be rectified."

When he saw that "60 taels of corruption will be stripped of the skin and last, and the loan will never be forgiven", Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but pat his thigh and said excitedly.

"So, do you think such a harsh law is useful?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished reading the "Da Ming Law" in his hand, Li Changsheng asked slowly.

"It's useful, it's definitely useful!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was full of red light, and he said excitedly.

"Not necessarily."

Li Changsheng shook his head and denied it.

"No way, we have made such perfect laws, we don't believe that those officials will not be dishonest!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head abruptly and said with an oath.

"Hearing is false, seeing is believing!"

Li Changsheng didn't bother to argue, he just whispered.

Then, he stretched out his hand and pointed out, and in an instant the whole world froze.

"Poor Dao, I'll take you to see the changes in the entire Ming Dynasty after the formulation of the "Da Ming Law".

Li Changsheng's voice came out slowly, but Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't care about it so much at this time.

Because he found that everything around him was changing.

The dead grass on the ground soon became green, grew again, withered again, and came out of the ground again, as if it were reincarnation.

It is as if the magic power of time acceleration has been applied, causing the wheel of time to move forward quickly.

Not only that, but the mountain village in the distance is also undergoing drastic changes.

In the beginning, the people in the mountain villages grew up quickly from infants, got married and had children, and grew old soon until they entered the tombs.

The mountain village has gradually become larger, from a few households at the beginning to a dozen or hundreds of households.

But a great chaos came, and the hundreds of families soon died, and the place was reduced to a wasteland.

"In the first year of Hongwu, the law was decreed, and the emperor's decree was promulgated to the world. It was a year, and the ministers were all silent, and they were frightened every step of the way, and they didn't dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool."

Li Changsheng's voice said that Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to see the future, and the officials of the entire Great Tomorrow were walking on thin ice and did not dare to reach out to embezzle.

Even those who embezzled were quickly sentenced to death, ranging from severed hands, shaved feet, and castrated to stripped of the skin and last and punished the nine clans.

All of a sudden, the atmosphere of the entire Ming officialdom changed color, and everyone was in danger and did not dare to be corrupt anymore.

"In the fifteenth year of Hongwu, the emperor set up a brocade guard, supervised hundreds of officials, and granted the power of reconnaissance, arrest, trial, and punishment."

However, with the passage of time, there are always people who are not afraid of death, and because the laws formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang are too harsh, and the officials have too few salaries to support their families.

Some officials take risks, and embezzlers are repeatedly banned, even if they are sentenced to death, they cannot be stopped.

So, the emperor was furious and reorganized the Janissary Army's pro-army Governor's Mansion into Jinyiwei, and ordered it to supervise hundreds of officials and make further progress

Step by step to strengthen the management of officials.

In addition, the emperor set up a special "drum of grievances" outside the noon gate, and if the common people could not seek justice in the local area, they could go to Beijing to beat the drum and directly sue the emperor.

This series of measures has severely shocked the world's officials and made their behavior greatly restrained.

But unfortunately, it is better to block than to sparse, and in the later 30 years of Hongwu, more and more officials were corrupt.

"According to the history of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu was in power for 31 years, and launched six large-scale anti-corruption campaigns, killing 150,000 corrupt officials and corrupt officials."

"The killing of corrupt officials has not weakened throughout, but the phenomenon of corrupt officials has not been eradicated. The corpse has not been moved, but the man has followed it, and the more he has been healed, the more he has committed the crime."

"After the death of Emperor Hongwu, because the "Great Ming Law" was too harsh, the successor monarch abandoned it and did not use it, and this edict was gradually abolished."

Li Changsheng continued, and when it came to Zhu Yuanzhang's ears, corresponding images appeared in front of his eyes.

That scene is the change in the lives of the people in the world.

In the beginning, the people lived a prosperous life, and their faces were full of smiles.

In the later period, corruption was rampant and prohibited, and it was no longer possible for them to maintain a prosperous life.

The so-called "breaking the county order and destroying the door of the mansion".

For the people at the bottom, a small Qipin county order can easily bankrupt their families and even ruin their families.

Not to mention, there are those cool officials who are like jackals.

Although they are not in the ranks, they are not officials, but they are all good at dealing with the people at the bottom, and they are even more desperate.

For the people of the world, the emperor is far away, although he has the "Da Ming Law" in hand, he is not literate, and he does not know how to resist, let alone go to the capital to sue the emperor.

The county order of the head of a county is their heaven, which is enough to control their life and death.

"Buzz ....."

A flash of light flashed, and everything before was back to square one, and the green grass on the ground withered again.

In the distance, the mountain village that had disappeared had returned, and it had changed back to its original appearance, with only a few families.

The time returned to the fourth day of the first month of the first year of Hongwu.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth wide, his eyes were full of shock, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

He didn't understand whether it was all illusory or real.

Is this a trick of the Immortal Father, or is it the real future?

"You say, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, are the people of the world happy, or are they still as unhappy as they were when Meng Yuan was founded?"

At this time, Li Changsheng spoke up and asked the previous question again.

"I don't know, we don't know, ah....."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know, he looked up to the sky and let out a long roar.

The Immortal Holy Father's questioning was like a giant hammer slamming into his chest, leaving him breathless.

Behind the hammer were innocent people from all over the world, who roared at him angrily.

"Aren't you known as an emperor from the bottom, and you still say that you want to be good to our people, is this what you call good? Phew!"

"You liar, what is the difference between you and those emperors of Meng Yuan?"

The questions hit Zhu Yuanzhang's mind and made him at a loss.

His eyes were filled with confusion, anger, and helplessness.

His mind went blank, and all sorts of thoughts rushed into his mind.

"Wow, don't wake up yet!"

Seeing this, Li Changsheng snorted lightly, like Hong Zhong Dalu, and hit the depths of Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

"Please teach us, Holy Father!"

The confusion in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes was gone, he stood up, knelt down like a jade pillar pushing the golden mountain, and said solemnly.

This kneeling is not only out of selfishness.

This kneeling is also for hundreds of millions of people.

This kneeling is even more for the world's society
