Chapter 0063 Dig a pit by yourself and jump by yourself
"Tell me about it."
Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved, it seems that he didn't see the wrong person.
Compared with Zhu Di, who suffers from gains and losses and is cautious, Zhu Gaochi, a good fat grandson of his own, is obviously much more sincere.
If Zhu Di was here, he would only carefully agree a few times, and then he couldn't hold back a fart for a long time.
That is, Zhu Gaochi, who has the courage to continue to ask.
What a grandson!
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed with emotion in his heart, he mentioned these things this time, not because of feelings.
All of this is part of his plan, and if the plan is successful, there will be a template for the transfer of future national fortunes.
Of course, the most important thing in the plan is that through his guidance, Zhu Gaochi can generate new ideas, and then put them into practice to change the dynasty.
Through these waves of national fortunes, Zhu Yuanzhang gradually understood everything, as long as the successor constantly revised the policies he formulated and promulgated, then the national fortunes would continue to be stripped from him.
In the 3,500 years of cultivation, he walked on the pinnacle of the world, and when he raised his eyes, the world was under his feet, and he could understand the things of the world by sweeping them at will.
This is an invaluable asset, enough to support him in just a few years.
But the premise is that he will not be affected by the fortune of the country, and there will be no annoying roar of the fortune in his body.
This is a shackle that heaven and earth put on him, and if you want to break this shackle, you must evolve within the rules.
Therefore, what he knows cannot be directly told to these heirs, otherwise he will be taking heaven and earth for fools.
Guidance is the best way he can think of, and he constantly guides these successors to break the shackles of thinking, and from then on to think about problems, no longer have to be confined to this era, and can transcend the limitations given by this era.
Of course, it is very difficult to do this, and Zhu Yuanzhang can only promote the change of the successor under the continuous guidance, and then continue to transfer it to the national fortune.
He reckoned that only a few changes would be sufficient, not all of them.
Guidance is a kind of moisturizing and silent thing, and only in this way can we blind the heart of heaven.
After all, people's hearts are complex and changeable, and the same sentence has different meanings in different people's ears.
Confucius wrote a copy of the Analects, and I don't know how many opinions have been derived from it, and I am afraid that the annotated books can fill a house.
It can be seen that people's hearts are complex and changeable, and it is difficult to guess, Zhu Yuanzhang has no doubt that with the intelligence of Zhu Di and Zhu Gaochi, they will definitely not be rigid, and they are bound to make a variety of choices.
The tone mentioned by the cabinet is an insignificant part of Zhu Yuanzhang's guiding steps, and he conceives hundreds of directions in which the question continues, and no matter what doubts Zhu Gaochi has, he will finally turn the conversation back to the right path through his hints.
Zhu Gaochi obviously didn't disappoint him, his smart head turned, and he soon had doubts, and said: "Grandpa Huang, when children and grandchildren read "Zizhi Tongjian" these days, they often encounter some incomprehensions, and now that I think about it, there is a certain correlation with what Grandpa Huang just said. Grandpa Huang, please forgive your grandson for being rude to what he said next. ”
"You say yes, there is no need for so many courtesies, they are all one family, why do you have to talk about two families."
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, eliminating Zhu Gaochi's hesitation, he nodded, and continued: "Grandpa Huang, according to what you just said, the future officials of the Ming Dynasty will definitely increase with the passage of time. At that time, there will inevitably be the phenomenon of redundant officials and redundant expenses, as well as many disadvantages such as unclear rights and responsibilities, and shirking responsibility. ”
Zhu Gao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with blazing eyes, his eyes were full of hope, obviously this problem had been bothering him for a long time.
Just after listening to the emperor's grandfather's argument about official leeks, he naturally thought of this, why did these literati sharpen their heads and drill into the officialdom, could it be that they really made a life for the people?
Although this slogan was shouted loudly, Zhu Gaochi believed that these officials were for glory and wealth, for the glory of the family, and for being able to override the people.
It is precisely because of these accumulations on weekdays that Zhu Gaochi was able to think of why officials are constantly used from the emperor's grandfather's words about officials, so as to further think about the problem of redundant officials that is likely to exist in the Ming Dynasty in the future.
Speaking of redundant officials, most people will first think of the Song Dynasty, thinking that only in the Song Dynasty will there be the problem of redundant officials.
However, in all dynasties, there were redundant officials, but it was not as serious as that of the Song Dynasty, and the solution to the problem of redundant officials has always been extremely difficult.
Officials, who have always been a privileged class, hold a large amount of resources and power in the dynasty, although the number is small, but the wealth they control can occupy eighty percent of the entire society.
Zhu Gaochi is not wrong in what he thinks, as long as this privilege exists, then the person who is an official will never be extinguished like a moth to a fire.
Officials who have already gained power will naturally not want to give up the power in their hands, and even if they are noble and respected in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, it is extremely difficult to abolish redundant officials, and it is necessary to take into account various problems.
The question raised by Zhu Gaochi was also in line with the point that Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to point out, but he did not answer directly, but asked rhetorically: "Gao Chi, if you were asked to solve this problem, what would you do?" ”
"This ......"
Zhu Gaochi has thought about this problem, but no matter what method he uses, he feels that it is not perfect, and there will always be all kinds of negative effects.
However, when the imperial grandfather asked, although he felt that his idea was still mature, he still replied: "Sun Er thinks that if you want to make the court not redundant officials, you must clarify the evaluation system of the officials, and the talented officials will be reused, and the officials without talent will be demoted or dismissed." In this way, the efficiency of officials will be enhanced, and they will be more attentive in their work, and the phenomenon of redundant officials will also be prevented. ”
Zhu Gaochi's thinking was in a proper manner, and it was a common method used in all dynasties, using a strict evaluation system to decide whether officials would go or stay.
But the embarrassing thing is that throughout the Hongwu period, the evaluation system of officials was still in the stage of laying the foundation, and many things did not form an institutionalization.
Therefore, when Zhu Gaochi finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to have dug another hole for himself.
Sure enough, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Gaochi with a smile and said, "Good grandson, you can think like this, we are very satisfied." In this case, the specific evaluation system for officials will be handed over to you, and it just so happens that the cabinet department has also been established, and you lead the officials of the cabinet department to get a specific charter for us as soon as possible. ”
Sleepy came to send a pillow, Zhu Yuanzhang originally wanted to guide again, but he didn't expect Zhu Gaochi to be so smart, so he took the matter to himself.
Although this was not Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention, it was enough to change the current relevant system.
If Zhu Gaochi is really allowed to solve the troublesome matter of redundant officials, the national fortune will definitely be transferred, even if it can't be done, Zhu Yuanzhang can also give some hints from it to facilitate him to do better.
He is now more and more pleasing to Zhu Gaochi, this kid is simply his lucky star, but he is much more reliable than Zhu Di, and it has only been a long time before he knows how to solve his problems.
What a fat grandson, really a fat grandson!
At this moment, Zhu Di, who was thousands of miles away, sneezed a few times.
He touched his nose, looked at the Daoyan monk who was there on the side, and said, "Old monk, you are all in prison, why are you still so leisurely?" Why don't you think about it, how do you escape? ”
