Chapter 81 The emperor and the prince, one is a good person and the other is a bad person!
Zhu Yuanzhang, as if he hadn't seen it, continued: "But just now I used copper coins to make a divination, and the divination said, although you have always opposed it.
Some people also say that you are opposed because you are afraid of encroaching on your own interests.
I don’t believe these words, because I don’t believe that you are so narrow-minded, so I wonder if there is something wrong with my vision? If I am old, my eyesight is dim, and I see you wrong, then this reform will be regarded as useless paper.
If my eyes are still bright, it means that you are loyal to the country and serve the people wholeheartedly, right? "
After Zhu Yuanzhang said these words, the officials were one by one unable to hold their heads up even more under the pressure of this momentum, and they did not even dare to breathe at this time.
On the surface, His Majesty the Emperor is saying, I believe you will not be so fussy and believe that your vision is not wrong.
But at this time, anyone who raises objections would be short-sighted, and would be calling His Majesty the Emperor blind.
If anyone didn't know the situation at this moment, the knife would probably fall soon.
Then the officials fell to their knees.
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Even Lu Ben was so frightened that his legs weakened and he fell down.
The majesty displayed by His Majesty the Emperor just now is no longer a question of whether he can bear it, but that he is already a master before he faints directly.
Seeing the officials like this, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "It seems that I have good taste."
The officials below were so frightened that big beads of sweat fell from their foreheads, and their faces turned pale.
Xia Yuanji and Shen Liqian felt for the first time that it was a good thing that His Majesty the Emperor had such authority.
There are indeed many things that cannot be discussed, because the reform itself offends the interests of a large number of scholar-bureaucrats. If you discuss it with them, they will argue with you. It is better to use authority to directly oppress them.
Prince Zhu Biao looked at his father's aura and admired him very much, and thought to himself: When can I be like this alone?
Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and looked at Prince Zhu Biao and said, "Prince, go ahead. We will divide the land into acres, and the officials and gentry will work together to pay the grain. All the officials have agreed, and we can choose to implement it on a pilot basis."
Zhu Biao nodded: "No!"
Then Zhu Biao said: "My dear friends, you don't have to worry about losses. The imperial court has collected your taxes. As long as you are sincere and carry out the reform, His Majesty Gu He can guarantee that you will enjoy the benefits within ten years." , ten times or even a hundred times more than the benefits you get from tax evasion now!!"
Painting cakes has been a technical activity since ancient times, because the cakes need to be big, fragrant, and sprinkled with sesame seeds!
Zhu Yuanzhang used a big stick, and Zhu Biao immediately gave Tianzao. The father and son cooperated flawlessly.
The official raised his head and looked at Zhu Biao, and Zhu Biao strengthened his tone, "In less than ten years, you will be able to live as luxurious a life as the officials of the two Song Dynasties!"
After the officials heard Zhu Biao's words, their hearts finally warmed up a little.
It seems that His Highness the Crown Prince cares about us.
Even if it was a routine, it was a consolation prize, and the officials felt a little better.
Then Zhu Biao listed the test methods one by one.
These are also reform measures. After hearing this, the officials cursed in their hearts.
Good guy, doesn’t this force us to urge the people below to do things? But then they thought again, hum, I myself have already lost, and you guys have to follow me too, who is afraid of whom?Extending your head is a sword, and shrinking your head is also a sword. If you don't dare to offend His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness, why don't you dare to offend the officials below you?
Let's all work together to clear the land. Give it to me, acre by acre.
Anyway, my family cannot be affected.
A large number of officials thought so, but when they heard that Zhu Biao listed out the reward and punishment system for passing the law, everyone was happy.
Hey, I didn't expect the imperial court to be so generous. As long as it reaches the middle level, it will be fine.
If you work harder and reach the upper-middle level or above, you will be rewarded with salary. If you work hard enough to get promoted to a higher-level official, wouldn't it be wonderful?
So everyone's minds became active again.
Although there were some small episodes, for example, when Zhu Biao said that all taxes and miscellaneous taxes were combined into money collection, which was the expropriation of treasure money, the officials were surprised.
But what is surprising is that now they just want to follow the instructions, that is, His Majesty said that we are magnanimous people, how dare we say that His Majesty is blind? The officials finally understood that Zhu Yuanzhang and his son were in a cycle of a sweet date, a big stick, a sweet date, and a big stick.
The play was obvious, but they still relatively believed that His Highness the Crown Prince would fulfill his promise.
After all, we were all promoted by His Highness the Crown Prince, so he shouldn't be too hard on us.
Xia Yuanji and Shen Liqian listened with joy in their hearts, and at the same time they were filled with admiration.
Genius, what a work of genius.
Xia Yuanji believed that as long as all these policies could be implemented, they would definitely change the Ming Dynasty. Even what His Royal Highness the Prince had just said, he could change the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty.
What surprised him was who gave His Highness the idea, and it was so shocking.
This is no longer an idea that one person can come up with. This is a complete masterpiece. This is completely groundbreaking.
If this is implemented, although many people will be offended and the bureaucracy will inevitably delay a lot, the examination method will directly lock these individuals.
Anyway, if you don't want to be an official, just let yourself be decadent, say something inferior, and wait to be dismissed from office.
This is obviously to prevent the officials and gentry from working as errands and paying food, but these individuals completely do nothing.
Furthermore, Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang is still as powerful as ever. As long as he says a word, everyone below him will have to work hard. This is the only way.
What His Majesty said just now was so beautiful. On the surface, he meant that he had a good vision and saw that many of his ministers were loyal.
In fact, the meaning behind my back is that if you dare to play tricks on me, you can feel the benefits of my knife.
Seeing that the officials below seemed to have accepted their fate, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao and his son knew that their goal had been achieved.
The father and son did not bring up the matter of constructing the Yamen organization of the Ming Dynasty Baochao based on the Zhongtong Chao.
Because the prerequisite for everything is to successfully implement the principle of dividing the land into acres and integrating the officials and gentry as errands to pay the grain.
In fact, these two reforms have been able to restore a lot of people's hearts. When the court continues to implement the reserve fund and equalization treasury system, it is estimated that the people's hearts in the world will be even more united.
The court meeting came to a successful conclusion in such an atmosphere, and all the officials were very depressed...
