Chapter 47 Statecraft
"The rule of the emperor should also be based on the law, and among them, the people should be the most important."
……
Although there was a "reason" in the Song Dynasty, there was no need for people to travel to and from nearby states, so in the past three hundred years, there were more than 400 riots, and the world was uneasy! ”
"Yuan Yi barbarians entered the Central Plains, did not understand the law of governing the country, so he let the people go without restraint, which also led to chaos. There is no road guide to govern the people, resulting in a hundred years of volunteers, Your Majesty said, 'Hu has no luck for a hundred years', which is true. Yuan only lost the Central Plains in 98 years, and the cover was also. ”
……
Such as the Han and Tang dynasties, all of them are rules and legislation, based on this, the Han and Tang dynasties have been around for hundreds of years. ”
……
Therefore, in the opinion of the students, the road should be used as the pass card, and the road should be blocked. Those who have no way to come and go will be severely punished, so that the peasants will be content with the fields, and the craftsmen will be limited to the workshops, and each will keep his duty, so that there will be less turmoil and reduce the number of displaced people. ”
"In this way, the Ming Dynasty can get ten thousand years!"
"Smack!" Zhu Yuanzhang's palm slammed on the table, making a dull sound, and the palace people next to him thought that it was Gongsheng's article that annoyed the emperor, so they hurriedly knelt on the ground, and even breathed much lighter, for fear of angering His Majesty.
However, at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, although the panting in his nose was slightly thickened, his eyes were also wide, his face was red, and he seemed to be angry, but his eyes were flashing with light, and his mood was excited.
The most important thing is that this tribute also provides a sufficient basis for this road guidance system. In the Yuan Dynasty, it was not that there was no road introduction system, but it was only for merchants, but Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to include everyone in the world into the system, but he needed a reason.
Although Emperor Hongwu is very studious, but after all, he was from a humble background, and later fought in the north and south, and when he was able to study, he was already in his thirties, and Gongsheng had read poetry and books since he was a child, so he was naturally stronger than him.
Although Bagu's brushwork is a little rusty, Zhu Yuanzhang is more and more happy the more he looks at it.
glanced at the name, Wu Bozong, he had some impressions, it was the third place in the examination, when Gongsheng walked into the Fengtian Palace, he was ranked third, with a dignified appearance and a talent.
This is a godsend!
Under the agitation of the mood, he picked up the brush and wanted to write a "one" on it, which is the name of the first and the symbol of the champion.
However, when the tip of the pen touched the rice paper, he couldn't help but pause.
Although this article won his heart, as a responsible emperor, he could not just make a subjective assumption about the ending.
How much, or read the rest of the garbage, right?
Yes, garbage, for this Hongwu emperor, these things that have no effect on his dynasty are really like waste paper.
However, as the territory of the Ming Dynasty became wider and wider, there were vacancies in many places, but many literati were reluctant to enter the government in the previous dynasty, and the only way to open a branch was to get a scholar.
So he can only pinch his nose and look for gold in the garbage heap (for him).
He flipped through a few more photos, only to feel more and more bored.
Long-winded, cookie-cutter, nothing new!
Tut.
Zhu Yuanzhang's head burst into bruises, these sour literati, don't talk nonsense, don't have many points, and all of them are off topic!
He casually threw away a piece of rice paper, and the next policy was revealed.
When he saw the name of the scholar, he was a little lacking in interest.
Yan Ji.
He immediately matched his name and face, after all, this guy and someone really had some similarities between their eyebrows.
But then, this person's frivolity came to his mind, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, this person "has no general's style" and "has no determination", how can such a person figure out his deep meaning? Most of the time it's empty talk again.
Forget it, give Rui Xuan a face, and leave a place for the top three, after all, it is his own brother.
His eyes were down, ready to turn the page, and he didn't want to look at any of these things anymore.
"On the Importance of Purging Corruption".
Well...... Well?
Eradicating corruption?
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyeballs were immediately caught.
He hated these blood-sucking guys too much, and his desire to sweep away corrupt officials was even better than restraining the people of the world, after all, the latter could only have an impact on future generations, but corruption could lead to the overthrow of the dynasty and directly affect his rule.
He immediately took a closer look.
At first glance, first of all, it made this Hongwu Emperor feel very comfortable, the rules are like a textbook-like eight-strand text, just like a lotus flower in the mud, the room of Youlan after walking out of the abalone, first suppressed the previous strategies, even Wu Bozong's article is not as good as it.
Then, the scholar raised the problems that the Ming Dynasty urgently needed to solve - the large number of corrupt officials and the extravagant atmosphere of officialdom.
First of all, corruption was caused by excessive indulgence in the Yuan Dynasty and excessive desires in people's hearts, which required strengthened supervision and increased punishment.
Of course, one of the cores of this problem, he avoided it, after all, although it is indeed related to the atmosphere brought by the former Yuan and the greed of officials, but Lao Zhu Kai's salary is too small is also an important reason, but saying this in the imperial examination is afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang will not give you a fall off the list and scold you for being rebellious?
This scholar proposed to establish an organization like the captain of the Han Shi Si to picket, and for the corrupt people, more than 1,000 people, they will be imprisoned for ten years.
Regarding this, Zhu Yuanzhang first nodded, and then shook his head.
Picket organizations, he is already doing, such as school inspection, but at this time the scale of school inspection is not large, and it is only limited to direct subordinates, but it has some effect. As for corruption, Zhu Yuanzhang also mentioned it in the laws promulgated earlier. He hated corrupt people, and the punishment of corrupt officials was stricter than that of the previous dynasty.
However, corrupt officials have been repeatedly banned, just like before there was Chu Jie, the commander of Zhejiang, who was corrupt and bent the law, ignoring the people, and an uprising broke out again in the coastal areas!
And this policy clearly told Zhu Yuanzhang the reason for all this.
The cost is too low.
Zhu Yuanzhang's punishment is not heavy enough! It doesn't have a deterrent effect!
A thousand taels of silver is really not much, you need to know that "three years of Qing Governor's Mansion, 100,000 snowflakes of silver", and a thousand taels of silver will be imprisoned for ten years, which is a heavy sentence.
But Zhu Yuanzhang still felt that it was not enough.
What a thousand taels of silver, corrupt officials, as long as they are greedy, then damn it!
Let's take the limit of sixty-two. His eyes twinkled, and he had already made a decision.
He also praised the establishment of an intelligence network that spread all over the world.
Zhu Yuanzhang put this strategy on the table and paced back and forth.
The things in this article are not esoteric or even a little superficial, and in time, he can figure it out himself.
What is valuable is that this gentleman was not only able to break through this layer of window paper in time, but also shared a similar governance philosophy to himself, that is, the need to establish a huge intelligence agency and maintain the integrity of the official system.
For example, the war has just ended, and everything is in ruins, and the dynasty needs such talents.
What frivolous Meng Lang, at this time, he had already been thrown out of the clouds, when one person looked at another person, that person was good.
Yan Ji, Yan Ji......
Oh, the Yan family's generation is full of talents......
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly narrowed his eyes.
