Chapter 358 The sword is the most important weapon of the country!
Three days later.
The weather is bone-chillingly cold.
The interior of Wuying Hall is as warm as spring, even a little bit hot.
The charcoal fire in the furnace made bursts of "sizzling" sounds, making the entire hall glow red.
Inside the palace.
At this moment, there are only Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao.
After several days of repeated thinking and design, Zhu Biao followed Xia Zhibai's suggestion, combined with his own understanding of the court, and integrated and kneaded the idea of setting up another organization in the court. Wrote a memorial.
Zhu Biao’s eyebrows were raised and he was full of confidence.
Zhu Biao said with high spirits: "Father, I already know how to separate from the current state of twitching and division."
With that said, Zhu Biao stepped forward and handed over a memorial.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and looked at the eldest son in front of him. He could tell at a glance that the Zhu Biao of today was a little different from the past. In the past, it was difficult for Zhu Biao to straighten his back completely in front of him. He always carried a He was a little stooped, and his eyes were a little unconfident, but today, Zhu Biao's words were full of confidence and calmness.
"Okay, let's take a closer look today to see what kind of memorial can make our boss so confident."
Zhu Yuanzhang reached out and took it.
Zhu Biao was smiling and waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to finish reading.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled softly and became even more curious about the memorial in his hands.
He knew his son very well. Unless he was very confident, he would never be so calm and calm. At least, the last time Zhu Biao was so confident was more than ten years ago, when Ma Xiuying was still exist.
Zhu Yuanzhang opened the memorial and scanned the memorial carefully with his cloudy eyes.
When he saw that Zhu Biao wanted to set up another 'organization' in the court, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, but Zhu Biao also gave a detailed explanation of this new 'organization', that is, like a clan, there are The rules only apply to one's own family and not to outsiders. Officials of the Ming Dynasty are in their posts, seek their positions, earn their salaries, and be loyal to their duties.
But local people did not enjoy so many benefits.
Local people raise their heads and lower their heads every day, facing fields.
Now they are allowed to bear the same punishment. This is obviously not appropriate. Two points should be made. One is for the public and the other is for internal regulation. At the same time, it can also strengthen the understanding of the Ming Dynasty. Identity, cohesion.
Zhu Biao also took a trick.
If you use other words, Zhu Yuanzhang may not be able to understand it, but if you use clan, Zhu Yuanzhang will definitely understand and see clearly, because his father, from childhood to adulthood, has experienced what he has seen the most. Those wealthy families.
He knows the situation of those nobles well.
This is indeed the case.
After taking a few glances at Zhu Biao's memorial, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately realized its subtlety and immediately had a corresponding response. His whole person even suddenly became enlightened. In the end, the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's mouth couldn't help but show up. laughed.
A long time.
Zhu Yuanzhang put down the memorial.
He looked at Zhu Biao and said calmly: "If we guessed correctly, this might be Xia Zhibai's idea again, right?"
Zhu Biao nodded and said indifferently: "Father, there is no need to be so cautious. It is not important to me whether Xia Zhibai is there or not. What is important is whether it can be used by the Ming Dynasty and whether it can make the Ming Dynasty get better day by day. As long as it can, Don't say it's Xia Zhibaiti Yes, even if it is mentioned by other ministers, even if it is brought up by Yuan people, I still have to use it."
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said with satisfaction: "This is reasonable."
"It doesn't matter who said it, as long as it can be done for That's a good idea."
"This is still short-sighted."
"Haha." Listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's joke, Zhu Biao smiled helplessly and said: " Father, just don’t fight I'm sorry, I really think this method is good. Firstly, it can restrain officials more rationally without affecting the common people. Secondly, it can also strengthen the recognition and loyalty of officials from all over the world to the imperial court. "
"It can be said that one kills multiple birds with one stone."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "How do you know that these officials will still be loyal to our Ming Dynasty after entering?"
Zhu Biao shook his head: "My son, I Of course there is no guarantee, but since he has come in, it means that in the sky In the hearts of the vast majority of the people, he is loyal to our Ming Dynasty. It doesn’t matter what they think. What matters is what the people think and see.”
“As long as the people approve it, that’s enough.”
“Again.”
"This is another yoke for officials."
"In addition to the law, they must also be bound by discipline."
"And the strictness of this discipline is far greater than The purpose of the law is to let officials set an example, at least so that these people do not dare to do evil blatantly, and even if the court catches them doing evil, the court can impose more severe punishments, which not only appeases the people, but also makes them happy. People's hearts."
"The ministers agree with Xia Zhibai's approach."
"Strengthen the supervision of local officials and relax the constraints on the people."
"People's livelihood is difficult, so we need to slow down."
Hearing Zhu Biao's insightful words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded happily. He also had to admit that under Xia Zhibai's intentional guidance, Zhu Biao did follow. There is a big difference, at least I am more assertive and have my own ideas, but it still seems too immature.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "We know what you are thinking."
"But you underestimate people and human nature too much."
Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand and pulled Zhu Biao pulled him to his side, pulled off part of the blanket covering his legs to cover Zhu Biao.
He said lightly: "Governing the world, do you know why it is so difficult?"
"People in those stories know that they need to recuperate and rest with the people. In fact, many of our officials in the Ming Dynasty have also passed the exams of the Han Dynasty." "Cure by doing nothing', but do you know why we have never listened to it?"
Zhu Biao shook his head.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said: "Because many times, if you take control of it, you will die, and if you let it go, it will cause chaos."
"All the officials in the world are very good, and they are suppressed by the court. , even if you can be more honest, if the court really gives you a little bit of power, I'm afraid there will be countless unreasonable things happening in the local area. This kind of thing has never happened in the past dynasties. "
"We have officials like us in the Ming Dynasty. Do you dare to delegate power to them?"
"Do you believe that the next day, they will dare to dominate the local area?"
"We still use Jin Yiwei now. Monitoring, it turned out that all kinds of moths in the local area have not stopped. If we were a little more relaxed, we might not know what kind of chaos the world would be. These scholars said that the Han Dynasty ruled by doing nothing, but why didn't they talk about why the Han Dynasty had to do nothing? To govern? It’s not because the imperial court is not strong enough to suppress the local princes. When it can be suppressed, it will immediately lead troops to destroy them.”
“The world needs to be controlled!”
"The more people there are, the more they need to be managed, otherwise how could there be any clans in the place?"
"Officials need to be in charge, and the people must be in charge even more."
"If they don't care about the people, these people will dare to let the sky leak. But how to manage it will be a test of skill. Emperors in the past dynasties have been different, and we also Same thing, we don’t want to be stupid, we want them to be obedient.”
“If they don’t obey, we’ll kill them!”
“If you can’t kill them, we’ll kill them. If we can’t kill his family, we will destroy all three of his clans!”
“The sword is the best weapon to govern the country!”
