Chapter 5 Land Annexation Is the No. 1 Ill of Today!
Luxury prison house.
Zhu Fan also looked at Lin Che in disbelief.
He thinks the same as Zhu Biao.
How could everyone hide from his father if he was such a shrewd person.
Not to mention such a big thing, it is an ordinary small matter, and the people who are pro-military will also find out clearly.
The pro-army Governor's Mansion is the predecessor of Jinyiwei, although it is not as famous as Jinyiwei, but it does the same thing.
Reconnaissance intelligence, inquiring about information, grasping the dynamics of officials... It's just pervasive.
As Zhu Yuanzhang's personal guard, the pro-army Governor's Mansion is only responsible for the emperor alone.
True blue.
No matter how big or small, you must face the emperor.
Thinking of this, Zhu Fan stared at him with a pair of bull's eyes, and retorted in a rough voice:
"Impossible, how can all the courtiers hide it from the emperor, this is absolutely impossible."
"What a shrewd person the emperor is today!"
"He can't be kept in the dark!"
Lin Che held his forehead with one hand and waved his hand at Zhu Zhang, who was looking excited:
"Don't get excited, wait until I'm done, okay?"
"Otherwise, that's all for today, I'll go back and catch up on sleep."
"I've been lecturing you every day, and I haven't slept well."
Lin Che stretched, his eyes glazed over.
Alas!
When a person has eaten and drunk enough, he wants to doze off.
It turns out that ancient and modern times are the same!
"Don't be excited, don't be excited, sir, you go on, there are some gaffes under it, and I can't control it for a while, hehe!"
Zhu Fan smiled awkwardly.
hurriedly put away the dishes on the table and made room for Lin Che to rest.
After a few days of contact and understanding, Zhu Fan admired Lin Che's knowledge from the bottom of his heart.
It can be said that he knows astronomy and geography, and can do anything.
There are only questions he can't think of, and he can't answer them without Lin Che.
And the content of the lecture is easy to understand.
As soon as you listen to the vernacular, it is much easier to accept than the lectures of those great Confucian scholars in the university hall.
Zhu Fan felt that he had learned more knowledge in the past half a month than he had learned in several years in the university hall.
And it can also be integrated and draw inferences.
When Zhu Fan cleaned up the table, Lin Che was not polite, and leaned on the table.
"Hah~"
With a leisurely yawn, Lin Che began to explain:
"All the officials in the court are hiding from the current emperor, and that's because they are all beneficiaries of this policy."
"Whether it is a clean official or a corrupt official, they all benefit from this policy."
"And this is a benefit from the emperor's reward, not a trick to take it."
"So when people sell their fields to them at a low price or give them away, they feel at ease and take it for granted."
"Who would refuse to send the benefits to their hands, who would be bored enough to report this to the emperor."
"Today's cronies and close ministers, personal guards, and officials of the Ming Dynasty!"
Speaking of this, Lin Che stretched out his hand to Zhu Fan, who understood, quickly made a cup of sobering tea, and handed it over.
Lin Che took a sip of tea and continued:
"The officials have all benefited, of course, in the same voice!"
"Who will take the initiative to say it, won't it be difficult to get along with himself if he says it."
"It's a pity that it's the people who suffer, but there is nowhere to redress their grievances."
"After all, this is a policy set by the emperor himself, who will reason with him?"
"Therefore, although the Hongwu Dynasty formulated a policy of rest and recuperation, because the policy was not implemented, the burden on the peasants was not reduced."
"With the loss of peasants' land, they have changed from homesteaders to tenant farmers, and the peasants' lives have become more and more miserable."
"Although the current emperor is unintentional, it has indeed caused great harm to the people."
At this time, Lin Che paused, and his tone became heavy:
"Land annexation is the number one malpractice of today!"
Next door.
The purpose-built chamber was silent.
Only the 'crackling' sound of the torches planted in the wall swaying.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting in the chair, was shocked.
Lin Che's words made him feel creepy for a while.
As Lin Che said, how harmful is the policy he formulated?
When he formulated this policy at that time, he only wanted the officials to be low and appeased, and he also wanted the officials to be less corrupt and harm the people.
I didn't expect this policy to be a hundred times more powerful than the direct corruption of officials.
If true, this policy must be repealed as soon as possible.
Zhu Yuanzhang calculated in his heart.
And Zhu Biao, who was recording, also stopped transcribing, his face tightened, and his face showed an unbelievable look.
Obviously.
One is the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful prince in history, the future emperor.
Standing on their height, after Lin Che's analysis, how could he not realize the seriousness of the problem.
The only solution is to abolish this policy.
Meantime.
Zhu Biao thought of another layer.
Since the policies formulated by my father were supported by all officials, if they were abolished, they would infringe on the interests of these officials and hurt the hearts of officials all over the world.
I'm afraid it will be very troublesome to implement.
Zhu Biao hesitated in his heart.
On the one hand, there are the Ming officials who maintain the operation of the imperial court, and on the other hand, the people of the world who are waiting to be fed.
It seems that both sides can't afford to offend!
Father and son sat in the secret room and thought about their thoughts...
……
Over here, inside the prison cell.
The conversation between Lin Che and Zhu Fan continued.
"Mr. Lin, since land annexation is the number one malpractice in this dynasty, then abolish this policy, won't the world be peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment?"
"Wait for me to go out, to the Father... My father told me that the land annexation would be abolished, and the crisis of the Ming Dynasty would be solved!! ”
Looking at the serious stunned Qing, Lin Che glanced at him angrily, and scolded with a smile:
"You are smart about co-authoring, this involves thousands of Ming officials, how can you say that it will be abolished?"
"Since these officials have been hiding from the emperor, they will definitely try their best to maintain this policy."
"Even if the emperor has an iron and bloody hand, but in the face of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, he has to weigh it."
"It's not like you can scrap it if you want to, it's all about it."
"What's more, this policy was formulated by the emperor himself, wouldn't it be a slap in the face if it was abolished?"
Lin Che talked eloquently, and Zhu Fan was dumbfounded.
Next door.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded again and again.
It's still this crazy life, and I know my mind.
As soon as I was excited, I immediately thought of abolishing this policy, but after thinking about it, I felt that it was not so simple.
As Lin Che said, this policy has benefited thousands of officials.
Unanimously supported by officials, the policy was abolished without warning within a few years of its promulgation.
What will the officials say?
What's more, it is not his Lao Zhu's character to change his order.
Glancing at Zhu Biao, who stopped thinking, Zhu Yuanzhang asked:
"Prince, do you think what this madman said makes sense? If this is left to you, how will you deal with it? ”
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Zhu Biao was stunned.
When his father promulgated this policy, he solicited the opinions of Xu Da, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Hu Weiyong and other important civil and military ministers, and he was by his side.
At that time, the officials present all sang praises of merit.
Praise the emperor for being kind to all officials and considering the problem thoroughly.
As the prince of the Ming Dynasty who assists in the administration.
Zhu Biao also felt that when his father formulated the salary for officials, he was really low.
He once visited the homes of several officials below the fifth grade, and as a member of the imperial court, his family was a little shabby.
Later, he reported his visit to his father.
It can be said that he played a great role in the final implementation of this policy.
It's just that he didn't expect this good thing to benefit hundreds of officials.
How did it become a maladministration that endangered the society of the Ming Dynasty?
"Shu Erchen is only a shallow learner!"
Zhu Biao pondered for a while, roughly sorted out a clue in his mind, stood up and said:
"Father, my son felt that the policy you formulated was not wrong, but I didn't expect that there would be a mistake in the implementation process."
"The sons thought that since the father and the important ministers of the court had formulated this policy together, the sons dared to suggest that the father and the emperor should negotiate with them to deal with this matter, and they must not deal with it arbitrarily."
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Biao and nodded with satisfaction.
That's what he was thinking about as well.
It seems that the prince follows him and learns to govern, and there is already a shadow of a generation of Ming Jun.
Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply grateful.
