Chapter Seventy-Two: What Do You Say?

Oh! I see, so you're afraid of making too much noise?

"Your Majesty, you can just kill these cowards, don't worry about them making trouble, no one has the courage to make trouble with their kind of cowardice, if they were so bloody, they would have applied to lead troops to fight Li Zicheng, have there been such people for so many years? Let me tell you the emperor, these people are not even sheep, at best they can only be called white rabbits. ”

Zhu Youzhen felt that Zhang Ping had said the essence of these people at home, little white rabbit? It's well described, aren't these people just cowards?

"However, it's not good to make too much trouble, I really killed all these people, not to mention that the movement is too big, how should future generations evaluate me?"

Zhang Ping really wants to say that Zhu Youzhen is guilty, you just want to die to save face and suffer the crime, kill a person, that is a murderer, kill 100,000 people, you are a big hero, do you see that the praised emperor is not a murderous monster?

"Your Majesty, what do you think of Emperor Taizu?"

Zhu Youzhen didn't know why Zhang Ping, a kid, suddenly asked about his ancestor, "Of course it's the first emperor through the ages." ”

Zhang Ping smiled, "That's right! Back then, Emperor Taizu killed more than 30,000 people in a Hu Weiyong case, killed more than 30,000 people in a blue jade case, and the officials who embezzled 60 taels directly beheaded and peeled some skins and grass, who said that Taizu did something wrong? Isn't everyone praising Taizu? You must know that killing people is not necessarily not compassion, and if you kill these people, it is good for the people of the world. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhang Ping, this kid's head is different from others, but he just didn't understand why killing these people is good for the people? Aren't the wind horses and cows related?

"You make it clear, you have a lot of brains, I can't keep up."

Zhang Ping smiled, your head is really bad, I have to educate you seriously.

"Your Majesty, the minister will calculate an account for you, how much is a duke's salary for a year? How much is a marquis in a year? How much is a count in a year? How much is a year's worth for a bachelor's degree? How much is a year for the smallest official, the magistrate? You know all of this, right? Take a duke as an example, his annual income is 4,000 stones, this money can feed four scholars, and it is equivalent to the sum of the annual salary of more than 60 magistrates, you don't see that the income of a magistrate is not much, but his income alone can also feed at least 20 ordinary people, that is to say, if you support a grandfather, you can feed more than 1,300 people, if you kill a grandfather, how can you save money to help more than 1,000 people? You always feel that the burden on the state is too heavy, in fact, if you kill two grandfathers, you can pay wages to the magistrate of a province, don't you know this account? What if you kill ten or eight princes? ”

Zhang Ping doesn't want to talk too much to Zhu Youzhen now, your mother! Zhu Youzhen, do you know? After more than 200 years of development, the 20 sons of your ancestors gave birth to a large number of children, sons gave birth to sons, and daughters gave birth to daughters, and now they have multiplied to 1780,000 people. The people in your family are all masters, the son of the prince is the king of the county, and the son of the king of the county is the general and the general, everyone depends on you to feed, do you have a special support? You can't collect taxes on a lot of land in the country now, and what about another 200 years? I think the Forbidden City still belongs to you, and the rest of the places are not yours, are you still a fart as an emperor? When the time comes, you will be the first to go to the street with a wooden stick to ask for food, simply, everyone will be surnamed Zhu in the future.

Zhu Youzhen was shocked and dug a groove! The reason is not explained, the detailed account is not unclear, this is terrible.

"You seem to have a point!"

Am I right? What I'm saying makes sense.

Zhang Ping then said: "Hehe! Your Majesty, why do you say you are raising so many people? People eat and drink you, don't do any work, don't say anything, and calculate you every day, who knows how to be grateful in the end? Do you know that gratitude is not Liu Wenbing's family? Why do you think you're keeping all this waste? Tell me to say, you should kill, kill, after killing, you don't have much burden, save money, don't talk about it, you haven't it yet, right? ”

Zhu Youzhen hesitated, "But, kill so many people at once, okay?" ”

Zhang Ping stared at Zhu Youzhen, "What's wrong?" If you catch a person, you can copy a large amount of silver, and these people have plagued you for so many years, and you don't know how much silver you have gotten? You don't want them all to spit out? Can't you figure it out? One against the other, you don't have to feed the waste, and you have money, what a good thing! I'll give you an idea, I think it's fun to kill people, the emperor you can kill two more today, kill two more tomorrow, kill slowly and play, so that the noise is not big, and when these people are killed, they will scare other people who still want to do something, no one will dare to give you nonsense, you will give the money you get to help the people, you see that when you want to recruit troops to fight Li Zicheng, will the people enthusiastically sign up for it? ”

"The honors are like this, and the officials can also be like this, the management of the country is about one by one, the good performance should be rewarded, and the bad work must be cleaned up by a way. You can't spend enough money, you can raise the salary of officials! Come to a high salary to support the incorruptible, how many officials do you think about making a fortune all day long and harming the people? ”

"High salary?"

"That's right! You want to make most officials feel that it is not as cost-effective as doing a good job for the emperor, who do you say will continue to talk nonsense to you? These people have devoted all their minds to the common people, can the common people still be dissatisfied? The life of the common people is getting better and better, who does not praise you? When you go there, don't the common people kneel down and shout my emperor's holy order? If anyone does something sorry for you, don't say that the Inspectorate won't do it, and the people won't do it! ”

"Besides, when we want to expand our territory in the future, don't say that the people are shouting to come as soldiers to fight in all directions, even those people in the land you want to get will also think, let's return to the Ming Dynasty, we can live a good life after returning to the Ming Dynasty, you said that in the future, you will send someone to do this casually, how comfortable you are as the emperor. At that time, you have nothing to do, so you will take the queen and the concubine out to travel, I tell you, that Qin Shi Huang inspected everywhere for fear that someone would make him opposed, if you go to travel, it is completely different. ”

Zhu Youzhen suddenly became excited when he heard this, not to mention the expansion of the territory in the future, even if he can eliminate Li Zicheng and defeat Jianyu at the moment, it is also a great thing, "Okay!" Just do as you say? ”

Zhang Ping looked at Zhu Youzhen, "Your Majesty, I'll give you another way." ”

"What's the solution?" , Zhu Youzhen was so happy.

"First investigate the crimes of these people, and let the ministers say what to do?"

Zhu Youzhen was puzzled and puzzled, "The evidence of their crimes is conclusive, the country has laws, how to deal with it, and what are you calling the ministers to discuss?" ”

"Hey, hey! I said Your Majesty, killing people is not the goal, is educating more people the ultimate goal? Besides, some of these people have committed more serious crimes, and some of them are relatively light, so you can't kill them all, right? What should I do, you leave it to everyone to discuss and come up with opinions, so that the ministers will feel that the emperor trusts them, and their hearts will be close to the emperor? Besides, you can also use this incident to see who is like and who is not. In short, do you think that you have to learn to mobilize the masses to do anything, and everyone collects firewood and the flame is high? It's still the same sentence, you can't hit a few nails with iron, you can take care of everything, others don't have to worry about it, and over time, the ministers don't know how to think about it, which is not a good thing. ”

Zhu Youzhen smiled, "Cixuan, what you said is good!" Or do you want to think about the problem clearly! ”

Zhang Ping smiled, "What the minister said is too good." ”

Zhu Youzhen felt that he should reward Zhang Ping with something, "Xuan, or you really help me, how do you say I should reward you?" ”

Zhang Ping hurriedly shook his hand, "Don't!" Your Majesty, you see that the minister has become such a big official when he is only in his twenties, and the emperor still trusts him like this, which is hated by many people! You said that everyone doesn't care about the ministers, how boring are the ministers? ”

"Or? I'll reward you with two beauties, you're not too young, it's time to start a family and have children. ”

As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, Zhang Ping was happy, emperor, I have already got two show girls that the queen found for you, and it is really inappropriate to get it again, once you have a comfortable life, you will definitely want to get a few more concubines, and when the time comes, I will find that the beauties that the queen found for you are all in my hands, you still don't hate me to death?

"Hey, hey! Don't hide it from the emperor, the queen mother has sent me two, I don't want to ask for any more. ”

Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhang Ping, "Your kid's thoughts are always different from others, the Queen Mother found you a daughter-in-law, I heard that the Queen Mother rewards the Queen Mother, and I always want to reward you." ”

"Don't! The emperor, the minister thinks that a person can only have two daughters-in-law at most. Do you think, when there are more daughters-in-law, there are more children, and all day long, are you either crying or screaming, and you are still at ease? Besides, there are too many daughters-in-law, don't you want to build more houses? It's that bed, you have to play two more, the key is that there are more daughters-in-law, it will kill you, look at your father, the emperor has just been a month, and he didn't do anything, so he hiccuped, and the lesson is profound! We can't help but learn from it. ”

Zhu Youzhen was furious when he heard this, "I said you kid, why didn't you have a door with this broken mouth?" Can you say that? ”

Zhang Ping grinned, "Your Majesty, aren't the two of us together now?" It's not good for me to have a broken mouth, but I always feel that I have something to say to the emperor in my heart, and if I talk nonsense in front of the emperor, it is disloyal! Besides, what the minister said was the truth, you see the emperor, even if he fell into a puddle and drank two sips of water, didn't he have anything? At a young age, you can't afford to get sick, the reason is not that you have hollowed out your body without moderation, you see how good your body is, you can't even take care of eating every day, one person does things up to two people, doesn't it also explain the problem? ”

Zhu Youzhen really has no way to say it, what people say is the actual thing, you can't blame others, "Shut up!" Don't talk about the emperor anymore, they are also your elders, how can you say that? ”

Zhang Ping slapped his face, "The emperor is right!" The emperor is right! Look at my broken mouth, I want to say everything when I meet the emperor, pay attention to it in the future. ”

"What do you mean?" , Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhang Ping, "I tell you, if there is anything to say in the future, you still have to say it, you can't tell lies, it's just an analogy, don't talk about your ancestors, can't you take others as an example?" ”

"Yes! Be! Be! The minister must pay attention in the future. ”。

Zhang Pingxin said, as far as the people in your family are more typical, if you don't talk about the people in your family, who else will you talk about, and it won't be very convincing to talk about other people? The point is that we don't know who has gone too far in this regard, so we know your family's affairs, what do you say?
