Chapter 5: Land annexation is the biggest bad policy today! Luxurious prison building.
Zhu Xi looked at Lin Che in disbelief.
He had the same idea as Zhu Biao.
How could it be possible that everyone could hide this from his father who was such a shrewd person?
Not to mention such big things, even ordinary and trivial matters, people from the Pro-Military Commander's Mansion will investigate them clearly.
The Qingjun Duwei Mansion is the predecessor of Jinyiwei. Although it is not as famous as Jinyiwei, it does the same things.
Investigate intelligence, find out news, and keep track of official dynamics...it's all-pervasive.
As Zhu Yuanzhang's personal bodyguard, the Imperial Guard's Mansion is only responsible to the emperor alone.
loyal.
No matter how big or small the matter is, it must be presented to the Emperor.
Thinking of this, Zhu Xi's eyes widened and he retorted in a rough voice: "Impossible, how could all the courtiers hide this from the emperor? This is absolutely impossible."
"What a shrewd person the current emperor is!"
"There's no way he's being kept in the dark!"
Lin Che put one hand on her forehead and waved her hand towards the excited Zhu Xi across from her:
"Don't get excited first and wait until I finish speaking, okay?"
"Otherwise, that's all for today, I'll go back and catch up on my sleep."
"I've been lecturing you every day these days, and I haven't even slept well."
Lin Che stretched out and her eyes became dazzled.
Ugh! When people have eaten and drank enough, they want to take a nap.
It turns out that ancient times and modern times are the same!
"I'm not excited, I'm not excited. Sir, please continue. I'm a little out of control. I couldn't control it for a moment, haha!"
Zhu Xi smiled awkwardly.
He hurriedly put the dishes on the table together and made a place for Lin Che to rest.
After several days of contact and understanding, Zhu Xi admired Lin Che's knowledge from the bottom of his heart.
It can be said that he knows everything from astronomy to geography.
There were only questions that he couldn't think of, and there were no answers that Lin Che couldn't answer.
And the content is easy to understand.
You can understand the spoken language as soon as you hear it, and it is much easier to accept than the lectures given by those great Confucians in the university hall.
Zhu Xi felt that he had learned more knowledge in the past half month than he had learned in the university hall in several years.
And he can also make a comprehensive understanding and draw inferences from one example.
When Zhu Xi cleared the table, Lin Che was not polite and leaned on the table.
"Haah~"
Yawning leisurely, Lin Che began to explain: "All the officials in the court are hiding this from the current emperor, because they are all beneficiaries of this policy."
"Whether they are honest officials or corrupt officials, they all benefit from this policy."
"And this is the benefit of the emperor's reward, not something obtained by plunder."
"So when ordinary people sell their fields to them at low prices or actively donate them, they feel at ease and take it for granted."
"Who would refuse the benefits offered to them? Who would be bored enough to report this to the emperor?"
"Today's close confidants and personal bodyguards are also officials of the Ming Dynasty!"
Having said this, Lin Che reached out to Zhu Xi. The latter understood and quickly made a cup of sobering tea and handed it over.
Lin Che took a sip of tea and continued: "Officials have all benefited, and of course they all share the same message!"
"Whoever dares to speak out will be in trouble for himself if he speaks out."
"It's a pity that the people are suffering, but they have nowhere to redress their grievances."
"After all, this is a policy set by the current emperor himself. Who can I argue with?"
"So although the Hongwu Dynasty formulated a policy of recuperation and recuperation, the burden on farmers was not reduced because the policy was not implemented."
“As farmers lose their land and turn from homesteaders into tenant farmers, their lives become increasingly difficult.”
"Although the current emperor made an unintentional mistake, it did cause great harm to the people."
At this time, Lin Che paused and her tone became serious: “Land annexation is the biggest bad policy today!”
next door.
The specially made chamber was silent.
There was only the crackling sound of the torch plugged into the wall.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the chair, was extremely shocked.
Lin Che's conclusive words made his hair stand on end for a while.
As Lin Che said, the policies she formulated can be so harmful?
When I formulated this policy at that time, I only wanted to appease officials because their salaries were low, and I also wanted to make officials less corrupt and harm the people.
Unexpectedly, this policy is hundreds of times more powerful than the direct corruption of officials.
If true, this policy must be abolished as soon as Yuanzhang was calculating in his mind.
Zhu Biao, who was recording, also stopped writing, his face tightened, and there was a look of disbelief on his face.
obviously.
One is the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty, the most powerful prince in history, and the future emperor.
From their level, after Lin Che's analysis, how could they not realize the seriousness of the problem.
The only solution is to abolish this policy.
Simultaneously.
Zhu Biao thought of another level.
Since the policies formulated by my father are supported by all officials, once they are abolished, they will harm 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 felt hesitant.
On one side are the officials of the Ming Dynasty who maintain the operation of the court, and on the other side are the people of the world who are waiting for food.
It seems that neither side can afford to offend!
The 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 Xi continued.
"Mr. Lin, since land annexation is the most serious evil policy of this dynasty, then if we abolish this policy, won't the world be peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment?"
"When I go out, I will report to my father... my father will report to this superior, to abolish the land annexation, and the crisis of the Ming Dynasty will be solved!!!"
Looking at the serious-minded Dao Touqing, Lin Che rolled her eyes at him angrily, smiled and cursed: "You are the only one who is smart about co-authoring it. This involves thousands of officials of the Ming Dynasty. How can you abolish it just because you said it should be abolished?"
"Since these officials have been hiding this from the emperor, they will definitely try their best to maintain this policy."
"Even if the current emperor has iron-blooded skills, he still has to weigh everything before facing the civil and military officials of the dynasty."
"You can't just abolish it if you want to. It involves all aspects."
"Besides, 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 Ping was dumbfounded.
next door.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly.
This crazy student still understands my thoughts.
When I was excited just now, I immediately thought of abolishing this policy, but when I thought about it again, I felt that it was not that simple.
As Lin Che said, this policy benefits thousands of officials.
Unanimously supported by officials, the policy was repealed without warning within a few years of its promulgation.
What will officials say? What's more, it's not his character, Lao Zhu, to change things day by day.
After glancing at Zhu Biao who stopped writing and thinking, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Prince, do you think what this crazy person said makes sense? If this matter is left to you, how should you handle it?"
"what?"
Hearing this, Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment.
When my father promulgated this policy, he sought the opinions of Xu Da, Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, Hu Weiyong and other important civil and military officials, and he was by his side.
All the officials present at the time praised him.
Praise the emperor for his kindness to all officials and his thoughtful consideration of problems.
As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty who assists in governing the country.
Zhu Biao also felt that when his father set the salary for officials, it was indeed too low.
He once visited the homes of several officials below the fifth rank, and as a member of the imperial court, their homes were a bit shabby.
Later, he reported his visit to his father.
It can be said that he played a great role in promoting the final implementation of this policy.
But he didn't expect that this good thing would obviously benefit all officials.
How could it become a bad government that endangers the country and the country of Ming Dynasty? "I'm sorry for my lack of talent and learning!"
Zhu Biao thought for a while, roughly sorted out a clue in his mind, stood up and bowed:
"Father, I think the policy you formulated was right, but I didn't expect that there would be flaws during the implementation."
"I thought that since my father and the important officials of the imperial court had formulated this policy together, I boldly suggested that my father should negotiate with them to handle this matter together and not to deal with it rashly."
Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Biao and nodded with satisfaction.
This is also what he has in mind.
It seems that the prince is following him, learning how to govern, and he has the shadow of a wise king.
Zhu Yuanzhang was deeply pleased.
