Zhu Biao returned to the East Palace and thought about it all night, and was a little absent-minded when he went to court the next day. waited until the next dynasty, and couldn't wait to find Zhu Yuanzhang.

and Zhu Yuanzhang talked in detail about what he saw and heard yesterday, especially the reform that He Qiu said.

"If there is a 100 percent profit, a businessman dares to trample on the law? Hehe, isn't he Zhang Shicheng such an example, he started as a smuggler of salt, saying that he couldn't stand the oppression of Yanding, who didn't know that he just wanted to fight for a future when he saw the chaos in the world. ”

"That's a good point."

After listening carefully to Zhu Biao's relays about He Qiu's reforms, Zhu Yuanzhang first took the test and taught Zhu Biao.

"Prince, do you think what He Qiu said is right? Can it really be implemented? ”

Zhu Biao was a little hesitant, "After listening to it yesterday and thinking about it all night, Erchen felt that what He Qiu said was indeed good, but the proposed strategy still needs to be discussed." ”

"If it is promoted, I am afraid it will provoke a civil uprising, which is a bit too harsh."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little disappointed, but he still patiently told Zhu Biao: "What you are worried about is not only the popular uprising, but the opposition of the official gentry." ”

"I know that you are lenient and benevolent, but you must also remember the fault of the Yuan Dynasty, the fall of the Yuan Dynasty was not because the local expropriation was excessive, and the people couldn't stand it, and they caught up with the people to build the Yellow River, and then they rose up?"

"I brought this world down with people, and I can naturally take it back with people. What is there to be afraid of if the official gentry opposes him, and if he opposes him, he will not be my Ming official? ”

"The context of the reform He Qiu said is already very clear, first change the finances, take charge of the financial power, then change the military government, take the military power, and finally move the civil officials and gentry, isn't it just for you to suppress the voice of opposition?"

"The sea ban is a policy, I have already let it go, before Li Guo pointed out that he was afraid that Chen Youliang's remnants would go ashore to cause trouble, and now it seems that it can be canceled."

"As for the follow-up reform of the imperial examination, he He Qiu is indeed a person who has never been an official, and he doesn't understand my Ming officialdom policy."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang had a smile on his face.

"The prince still remembers that all the Jinshi of my Ming Dynasty must first enter the Sixth Department or the Hanlin Academy to observe the government, and then they can be released."

Zhu Biao nodded, and then reacted suddenly.

"Father's policy is similar to what He Qiu said, changing the examination for agriculture, law and other subjects."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled smugly and stroked his beard.

"That's natural, as the so-called dynasty is Tian Shelang, and the twilight is in the Tianzi Hall, this person who is admitted to the Jinshi can be an official, how can he not act cautiously as a father."

"A person who has never been an official, from an ordinary scholar directly to the county order, does not understand agriculture, does not know how to investigate cases, and does not know how to collect taxes, how can his father let go of his mind."

"If you go out directly like this, the only consequence is that you may be overtaken by the local old officials and local gentry."

"After observing the politics of the Sixth Ministry and the Hanlin Academy, at least it is not so easy to be restrained by these characters, if the means are clever, they can also play with these local gentry in the palm of their hands."

Zhu Biao asked: "Then why are there still so many unusable officials in the local area?" ”

"People's talents are different, and the local situation is also different, not to mention the lack of people's hearts.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very helpless.

"As for what He Qiu said about changing the agronomy exam, you just have to keep it in mind. It's too difficult to do this, the most important thing is that the standards are different, and I'm afraid that the people who are selected in this way are all children of big clans. ”

"After all, there are not many people who can afford to read the Four Books and Five Classics, not to mention the miscellaneous studies he mentioned, I am afraid that the court will not be all high-ranking disciples at that time."

"However, if it is accompanied by the reform of officials as He Qiu said, there are some merits."

"Do you know what I am most satisfied with about He Qiu's strategy?"

Zhu Biao shook his head: "The child doesn't know." ”

"One is the military system, and the other is the integrated payment of food for the officials and gentry. According to the reform law he mentioned, the army is divided into several parts, and the military orders, military discipline, training, and logistics are clearly organized, and the staff system is supplemented by the staff system, which can indeed reduce the probability of losing the war, and can also firmly control the military power in the hands of the royal family. ”

"You know, I'm naturally not afraid of the military power, and you probably won't have this worry, you know these nobles who can fight, your father-in-law is still often in the spring, and his sons are few successful."

"But it's hard to say about the rest of the story."

"It is indeed wonderful that this official gentry pays grain in one piece, and it is useless for someone to give money to the officials, but he still wants to pay me food, and he only looks at the land, not the people. Like the apportionment of the land into the mu, it is aimed at officials and gentry who have a large amount of land, which can greatly reduce the burden of the people. ”

"This kid is a benevolent man. Mencius said it well, 'It's not difficult to be in government, and you don't offend the giant room', hum. ”

"If you really rule the country according to what he says, my Ming Dynasty will not last long, and even if it lasts for a long time, it will be the decline of imperial power."

"It's really funny, while shouting that the people are precious, the community is secondary, and the monarch is light; On the other hand, he shouted that it is not difficult to govern, and he does not offend the giant room, and I don't know if the people in Mencius's mouth are also these gentry. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang complained here, and then looked at his son Zhu Biao.

"You don't have to worry, I will implement these policies in advance, first clear these dead branches and rotten leaves for you, and when you succeed to the throne, you don't need to change, and then the next generation will become a rule, and I will have more luck for a hundred years."

"Thinking about it this way, coupled with He Qiu's contribution to sweet potatoes and potatoes, he He Qiu alone has added at least two hundred years of luck to my Daming, and the good country is still light."

Zhu Biao thought about it, it was true, and couldn't help but pat Zhu Yuanzhang on the back, "This is also the work of my father, otherwise, why would such a character not be in Mengyuan, but in my Daming." ”

"Hahaha!"

He Qiu on the other side was still in the palace, and he heard Zhu Di calling him, "Mr. He, come out to receive the decree, my father and the emperor have issued an order for you to be a marquis." ”

He Qiu was happy when he heard that the thief was happy, and the good hometown promised by Lao Zhu was waiting for the account.

Hurriedly walked out of the courtyard, and when I walked to the front hall, I saw that the middle door of the palace was wide open, and the incense case had been placed.

Zhu Di pulled him, and he honestly knelt there to listen to the order.

The middle-aged eunuch in front of the meeting shouted in a sharp voice:

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, today there is a person from Cangzhou, Hebei Province, He Qiu, offering sweet potatoes and potatoes, yielding dozens of stones per mu, such a great achievement, non-knighted can not be repaid......"

"He Qiu is specially named a good countryman, and he is demoted to the third generation of the lord...... Chin this. ”

Finally finished reading, this was He Qiu's first thought, and then he was pulled up by Zhu Di, this is the marquis, or can it be hereditary?

I love the feudal dynasty, He Qiu is stupid and happy, no matter what, he will be considered a privileged class in the future, and he doesn't have to be carefully exploited at every turn, although there is a system, but there is always a sense of unreality.

Zhu Di was busy handing out silver to the eunuch, and the eunuch accepted it with a smile, and said to He Qiu kindly, "Good countryman, I will serve Your Majesty well in the future." ”

He Qiu nodded mechanically, and when the father-in-law left and returned to the palace, he couldn't help laughing.

Zhu Di looked at him crazy and wanted to stop it, but considering that this was also his big day, he let He Qiu vent.
