Liu Ji made a generous statement, and did not show mercy because of Li Shanchang's ugly face.

Zhu Yuanzhang kept silent and watched the fire from the other side.

As Liu Ji elaborated his views, his views gradually became clear, and even if Li Shanchang was angry, he had to admit it in front of Liu Ji.

Zhang Normal and Zhu Biao, two people who are a little worse at Taoism, also opened up.

What kind of world are Zhu Yuanzhang and the courtiers he led facing.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the world had experienced many years of war, and the imperial court and various warlords were fighting, which had long broken up the hearts of the people in the world.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was born out of thin air, he unified the south.

But the establishment of this imperial court is not even a year now.

Whether the common people can know that the name of the child is unknown today, and many remote places may not even hear of the change of dynasty.

If the emperor followed Li Shanchang's advice and directly implemented the pox law in the form of a government decree, the first question was, if the common people did not believe in the imperial court, why should they believe in the imperial court?

The essence of the pox method is to fight poison with poison.

Even if this method is Liu Ji, Li Shanchang seems to be shocking, how can the people believe it?

You must know that after years of war, the little trust of the government among the people has long since disappeared, just like Zhu Yuanzhang has grown up all the way and regards officials as enemies.

Even if most of the people are not so extreme, how much trust does Daming have in the hearts of ordinary people?

The world is undecided, and in the eyes of the people, whether the so-called Ming Dynasty is as short-lived as the Red Turban Army is unknown, and it is difficult to push the executive order at this time.

What's more, it's such a shocking law.

The people's hearts have not been obtained, and it is difficult to implement government decrees.

However, Li Shanchang proposed that this matter be included in the official assessment, which is the point of Liu Ji's sarcasm of Li Shanchang.

His intentions may be good, but if the people do not trust and do not cooperate with the local officials, the officials will most likely forcibly implement it, because it is related to their own future, and according to the rules of the previous dynasty, the people are the most vulnerable group to be sacrificed.

How to assess, it is nothing more than the more people who have pox, the better!

For the sake of political performance, local officials must use the simpler but more dangerous "time seedlings" as the main means of planting pox.

Except for Zhu Biao, everyone else had experienced the old man, and they understood that this incident was an event that would definitely happen.

The consequences of this are likely to provoke resentment and even rebellion.

So what is the significance of Zhu Yuanzhang's implementation of the pox method?

Li Shanchang is not a mediocre talent, he just didn't pay much attention to this matter and was grabbed by Liu Ji for a while, after thinking about it, he understood that what Liu Ji said made sense, and he couldn't refute it.

It's just that the positions of the two sides against each other make him unable to lose:

"Then slowly figure it out, there is no assessment, we don't fight for this time, slowly and slowly, the people will naturally understand the painstaking efforts of the court after being educated!"

After Li Shanchang finished saying this, he found that Liu Ji just looked at himself and sneered.

He instantly understood, what was the crux of this matter?

Slowly trying to educate the people, this is indeed the safest and most royal way, but if it is just like this, what does the emperor want them to do?

Zhu Yuanzhang so solemnly promoted this matter, in fact, to put it bluntly, the emperor wanted to get the credit for promoting the vaccine, which was his important historical achievement as an emperor.

And if he wants to do this, at least in the early stage of promotion, he must see more obvious results!

"You two don't just remember to pour cold water on me, Liu Ji, since you said no, then say a way to do it for me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang kept watching coldly, and waited until the two finished speaking before expressing his opinion.

As soon as he said this, Liu Ji himself was in trouble, how could he do this thing beautifully?

It's actually hard!

The most difficult thing here is how to educate the people and resolve the people's distrust of the imperial court, which is not difficult to implement at the local level.

At this time, his gaze swept over a person, and Liu Ji was shocked.

Soon, he set his eyes on Zhang Normal.

Almost at the same time, Li Shanchang also set his eyes on Zhang Normal.

They finally got it!

The emperor can see the problem they see, and Zhang Normal is likely to be the best solution to this matter.

The Mongols gave Longhu Mountain eighty years of wealth, and the prestige of Longhu Mountain among the common people may be even greater than that of today's emperors.

Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang looked down on Zhang Normal from the perspective of Confucian scholars, but they could not deny his status.

The issue of people's will and trust may not be a problem if we put it on the same side......

Liu Ji turned to Zhu Yuanzhang, but saw that Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be smiling.

"Now, what else do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty thinks more far-reaching than Weichen, and Weichen is not as good as ......"

Liu Ji sighed, although he was not convinced, but he really didn't think as far as the emperor in this matter.

Probably when Zhu Yuanzhang never hesitated to give Zhang Normal privileges, he had already figured out how to use this Zhang Zhenren.

"To promote the pox method, the most difficult is in the education of the people, in the name of Longhu Mountain, through the influence of the immortals can shorten this process, I am ready to promote it mainly in the government, and the Taoist priests of Longhu Mountain appease people's hearts......

Moreover, this matter should not be directly implemented, people's hearts are cheap, if I beg the people to plant pox, the people may not cherish it, it is better to let them see the effect directly......

Li Shanchang, are there any places where smallpox outbreaks have been reported in various state capitals? ”

Li Shanchang didn't think about it, and replied:

"There is no big plague, but the epidemic in a small scale has never stopped......"

Li Shanchang knew almost everything about the government affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and he casually reported to several state capitals, and Zhu Yuanzhang remembered it silently.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said:

"Zhang is normal!"

"The minister is here!"

"Give me a trip to Yangzhou, I want you to come back with the results......"

"Yangzhou ......"

Zhang Normal was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and received his order.

"If this happens, I will be of another use to you!"

Zhang was in a normal mood slightly excited, the more the emperor reused him, the more likely it was that the expectation in his heart would be achieved.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lao Zhang knelt on the ground again to receive the order.

"There are some things I haven't figured out about that "Weiyanlu", and I believe that Master Li and Master Liu are the same......"

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Liu Ji and Li Shanchang, and the two smiled awkwardly.

Although I don't think I'm a dull person, for a while, that book is really confusing to look at.

"The minister can explain it to the saint and the lords, but my son Yuchu has a deeper understanding of this book, if Your Majesty doesn't dislike it, let him talk about it!"

Zhang Yuchu has been serving as a background board next to him, but he was a little nervous when everyone looked at him.

It's just that the emperor laughed:

"The sons of the Zhang family are good, don't be nervous, boy, talk well, I will be rewarded for speaking well!"

His cordial attitude provoked Liu Ji and Li Shanchang to look at each other.

In the eyes of the two, there was also a look of vigilance, but they didn't know that the expressions of the two still fell in the eyes of the emperor.

His expression remained unchanged, waiting for Zhang Yuchu to explain the contents.
