Fengtian Temple.

The nobles lowered their heads, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.

Zhu Yunxi was thinking about whether to come out and say a few words to ease the atmosphere.

I only heard Zhu Yuanzhang say: "I Wen'er and others usually feast, all the meals are delicacies from the mountains and seas, and the wine is not drunk one by one, but round by round!" ”

Some people say, isn't that how you drink alcohol?

Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "After a round of turns, the two jars of good wine will be gone, and after eating, you pat your butts and leave, leaving a bunch of unfinished dishes." ”

"Do you know how long the people can live on that table?"

No one praised him, he asked himself: "Half a year!" ”

"Do you know how long I can live?"

Zhu Yunxi came out and said: "Three months! ”

"That's right, you have a table of dishes, and you can catch up with my three months' worth of food!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted: "Your life is a hundred times better than that of me!" ”

The ministers were like sitting on pins and needles, and cold sweat broke out.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at them and continued: "The four dishes and one soup in front of you are the dishes I eat every day, so I will use this regular dish to entertain you, if you are shabby, get out of here!" ”

It's all said and done, which one really dares to go?

"What Your Majesty said is very true!"

Yongping Hou Xie Cheng stood up with a big grin.

"What are you doing? Your Majesty gives food, everyone eat quickly! ”

He picked up a large portion of leeks with chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth: "Well, it's delicious!" Xu Xingzu's cooking skills are still so good! ”

Yongping Hou Xie Cheng followed Zhu Yuanzhang at the age of fourteen and was one of the earliest twenty-four generals in Huaixi.

When Zhu Yuanzhang led the Huaixi rebellion, Xie Chengcheng was the leader of the atmosphere group.

"Eat, eat, eat! Let's eat together! ”

Xie Cheng warmed up, and everyone began to move chopsticks.

The scene quickly became lively, and everyone was like a drama spirit, eating vegetables and drinking soup.

I almost took out the bag and packed it.

"If you want me to say, how many years have our brothers not gotten together to eat and drink!"

Yongping Hou Xie Cheng stood up again, raised his wine glass and proposed that everyone do it together.

"Let's pay homage to His Majesty the Emperor first!"

Seeing Xie Cheng hanging leeks between his teeth, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't talk, sit down!" ”

"Yes!"

Xie Cheng smiled and grinned at Zhou Dexing, the Marquis of Jiangxia, beside him: "It's delicious!" Lao Zhou, you also eat more! ”

Zhou Dexing's face was black, and he said in his heart that you don't even look at the fucking environment!

"His Royal Highness King Wu, let's eat together!"

Although Xie Cheng's eldest daughter is the princess of King Zhu Li of Jin, Xie Cheng's relationship with Lan Yu is very iron.

Zhu Yunxi nodded slightly at this social cow person.

Everyone chewed four dishes and one soup with trepidation, and they had to pretend to be like eating delicacies from the mountains and seas.

Since ancient times, the Chinese have liked to hold meetings at the dinner table.

"Yongping Hou, how much grain can be produced in one acre of your field?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xie Cheng.

Field? Grain production?

Xie Cheng's face was blank.

Since he participated in the rebellion at the age of 14 and awarded the founding of the country, until today, he has not planted land in 40 years, where does he know the yield per mu?

I have forgotten the feeling of farming.

But the emperor asked, Xie Cheng got up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know very well, you also know that I followed you at the age of fourteen, and I haven't planted for a few days." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "In the past, you didn't have any land to plant, but after you became a marquis, didn't I give you thousands of acres of public land?" ”

When the Ming Dynasty was founded, Zhu Yuanzhang gave the following fields to the lords, marquis, and prime ministers, with many tens of thousands of acres and thousands of acres.

He also gave the military ministers public land, and used their taxes as a slur.

Zhu Yuanzhang has always liked white prostitution, giving land to military households as a salary, and giving land to honorable nobles as a salary.

Co-authored one or two million employees, without paying a penny of wages.

Xie Cheng shook his head: "The minister has never planted, and he doesn't know the yield of grain per mu." ”

"Since none of you are farming, I plan to renew the year of the prince."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up, picked up a cup for himself, and swept towards everyone:

"In this way, what do you think, 5,000 to 2,500 stone for the Duke of Guolu, 1,500 to 1,000 stone for the Marquis, and 1,000 to 700 stone for the Earl?"

For each title, there is an upper limit and a lower limit.

So much?

The nobles were inspired.

The six Shangshu are only 700 stone a year.

The three princes and one member of the imperial court are only about 1,000 stones.

Seeing the surprise on everyone's faces, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I heard that the lord Zhuang Tian is relying on the lawlessness of the situation, and today it is determined that your age will be paid by the local government, but all your land must be returned." ”

Good guy, I'm waiting here!

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but admire Lao Zhu.

The smiles on the faces of the nobles gradually froze.

Compared to thousands of acres of farmland, this is a lot of money......

Although a few nobles were reluctant, they were helpless.

Emperor Zhu has spoken, who dares to object?

So Wei Guogong, Cao Guogong, Xinguo Gong, Jiangyin Marquis, Jinghai Marquis, Yongping Marquis, Qi Chunhou and so on came out one after another to express their attitudes, promising to return to the old and give land to the officials.

"Also, take care of your house slaves, don't let them bully others and invade the military land under your banner!"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Jiang Xiahou Zhou Dexing meaningfully: "Is it Old Zhou?" ”

Zhou Dexing hurriedly got up and responded: "The minister obeys the order, and he will thoroughly investigate the matter when he goes back." ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Zhu Yunxi next to the throne.

Zhu Yuanzhang stepped down from the throne and stood among the nobles: "Has anyone forgotten why we rebelled back then?" ”

"If the magnates of the Mengyuan government don't force us to live, can we rebel?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with his hands behind his back: "In the same way, if you force the people to be anxious, they will also rebel against you!" ”

"Your Majesty is very right." Yongping Hou Xie Cheng praised again.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him: "Saying and doing are two different things, you will disperse the extra domestic servants when you go back." ”

"And your family, don't think that you can take up your post, and you won't study when you lead troops to fight in the future."

His voice was serious and sonorous: "If you don't study, you only have the courage of a horseman, and you will often be arrogant, exceed etiquette, and even recklessly abolish the law, and be extravagant!" ”

The loud voice echoed in the Fengtian Temple.

The nobles stood up and saluted: "Remember, Ministers! ”

For the sake of these old brothers, Zhu Yuanzhang was heartbroken.

"I have compiled a book called "Ji Ji Lu", and each of you will take it back and read it."

Eight eunuchs carried stacks of books in their arms and handed them out one by one.

Zhu Yunxi also got a copy and opened it to take a look.

Good guy, Lao Zhu personally made a preface and awarded meritorious heroes, and the content was mainly to curb the trend of luxury.

Li Xin, the Marquis of Chongshan, raised the book above his head: "The minister must read it day and night!" ”

......

After the banquet in the Fengtian Temple.

Xu Yungong, the Duke of Wei, took the lead in following the provisions of the "Records of the Auditing System" and handed over the extra family members to the company.

Shinkoku Koyuwa also returned the ritual household that exceeded the regulations.

Cao Guogong Li Jinglong returned the farmland that exceeded the regulations.

The nobles acted almost at the same time, straightened out the palace gate, and returned the farmland.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the redundant people to be sent to Fengyang to be subordinate to the people, and ordered the Ministry of Rites to prohibit the luxury of the prince system.

"Is it blaming the emperor's grandfather for not disposing of Zhou Dexing?"

In the inner garden, the grandfather and grandson walked together.

"The grandson doesn't dare, he is the emperor's grandfather." Zhu Yunxi was indeed disappointed in his heart.

Who knows, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "The fart is small, how can the emperor be small?" ”

"If he commits a crime, he will be punished!"

Zhu Yunxi was shocked: "What does the imperial grandfather mean?" ”

"Zhou Dexing's crime is at most a fine and confiscation of public land, you let me be unreasonable, cut his marquis, and then ruthlessly kill him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang touched Zhu Yunxi's head: "You are still too tender, and sooner or later you will suffer." ”

"Also, don't be afraid of offending people, you must be ruthless when you should be ruthless for the monarch, otherwise some kings and eight lambs will always think that you are a soft persimmon!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were murderous.

What is Lao Zhu trying to teach me?

Cutting the grass and eradicating the roots?

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Boy, remember that before you seek things, you must first seek people, learn to see people, learn to recognize people, and see through human nature, so that you can be invincible." ”

"Grandson, remember the teachings of the emperor's grandfather!" Zhu Yunxi saluted.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, once the suspicion arises, the crime has been established.

When he doubts that person, the truth doesn't matter.

What Zhu Yuanzhang is best at is that he suddenly raids his home.

I don't know how many nobles are alive and well today, but suddenly received a holy decree, their home was raided, and they were going to be beheaded!

Then he was arrested and put in prison with a depressed face.

This was followed by a large list of charges that could not be refuted.

Finally, he signed and signed a pledge to end his life.

Perhaps, Lao Zhu is waiting for an opportunity to solve Zhou Dexing?

Zhu Yunxi thought about how to create this opportunity......

"Tomorrow, Liangguo Gong Lanyu should return to Beijing, and you will go to Yifeng Gate to greet you on my behalf." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes became sharper and sharper.

Sapphire is back?

Zhu Yunxi didn't know whether to be happy or worried.
