Chapter 676 There are six movies without an emperor. Isn’t this just a small court?
"The development of Java is not smooth sailing, and some problems need to be solved." Zhu Yijun reminded the Ming Dynasty officials not to be blindly optimistic. He said with certainty: "The biggest problem here is malaria. ”
Why did the Ming Dynasty always rule the vast Indochina Peninsula with three announcements and six comforts after occupying Yunnan? Because further south, mosquitoes will eat people.
Female mosquitoes infected with Plasmodium will transmit Plasmodium to humans when they bite people. Plasmodium will burrow into the human liver and multiply. Only when it grows stronger will it invade the blood. , often by the time the disease occurs, the disease is already terminal and even difficult to treat with medicine and stone, because the person has already begun to fidget, and the fever does not go away.
If a high fever persists, the immune cells are fighting to the death against the malaria parasite, and one can only rely on personal qualities to resist.
The most important thing is that Plasmodium is a parasitic disease, not a virus. The immune system cannot form antibodies. That is, as long as it is not separated from the environment, it will be infected several times, and it can be infected dozens of times within a year. This is the most terrifying thing. In this era, there is almost no solution.
If you catch smallpox once, you will never catch it again in your life, but this is not the case with malaria. It will happen as long as a mosquito bites you.
Artemisia is indeed a good medicine for treating symptoms, but the Artemisia used is now a rare herb from Yunnan, and the great medical officers of Jieju Hospital are also studying how to fight malaria. Simple Artemisia There is no way to boil grass soup for severe patients, even for mild cases. Artemisia also needs to be concocted by a medical officer, and the senior medical officer of Jieguyuan used white wine, which was slightly useful.
And wine is extremely luxurious and comes from fermented grain.
The active ingredients of Artemisia miltiorrhiza are also very sensitive to temperature requirements. If it is higher, the active ingredients will be destroyed, and if it is lower, it will not be processed successfully. This is a sophisticated technical job in this era, and it is bitter. Artemisia can indeed fight malaria, but this is a medical skill that only a few medical officers can actually master.
In any era, medical care is an expensive and scarce social resource.
"Indeed, we cannot be blindly optimistic." Zhang Juzheng calmed down first. If the tropical rainforest was really so easy to conquer, the southwest would have long been free of disasters. Surviving in the tropical rainforest is indeed a huge test. How to develop it? Java needs to be slowly explored in practice.
Java has a unique natural environment that is very suitable for planting rice, corn, cassava, peanuts, cotton, sugar cane, coconut, coffee, tea, oil palm, etc., whether it is staple food or cash crop, as long as Once developed, it will be fertile land.
Now, the Ming Dynasty has thousands of hectares of fertile land in Java. As long as the Ming Dynasty does not give up the strategy of opening up the sea and developing Java, it will not be too difficult for the Ming Dynasty.
Difficulties can be solved bit by bit as we move forward.
“I think there is no big problem with the Ming Dynasty’s strategy of opening up the sea. As for the plundering public opinions advocated by the cheap Confucianists, I still insist that plundering is worse than sowing. How much can be robbed? How much can we rob? Today There is no tomorrow, and only those who can’t survive will become bandits.” Zhu Yijun talked about an issue. The main idea of development in the Ming Dynasty was still farming, that is, developing business, opening up plantations, reclaiming fertile land, and mining in rich mineral areas.
A relatively simple development method, but it is better than grabbing.
Recently, in the public opinion field of great speculation between the two capitals, a trend has spread, that is, the Ming Dynasty opened the sea and should encourage robbery. Anyway, some English bastards have issued privateering licenses.
That is to say, the news that Felipe II used pirates to attack London has not yet reached the Ming Dynasty, otherwise these cheap Confucians would not be able to say such things.
The pirates are bandits, and those with breasts are mothers. If you help England today, you will help Spain tomorrow because of your interests. Bundling interests is the strongest relationship, and it is also the loosest relationship.
The root cause of the spread of this wind is that Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, and England opened the sea to plunder, getting something for nothing, and making too much money. Ming's conservative strategy of opening the sea was a heavy loss to Ming's overseas interests.
Open the sea and open your eyes to see the world. It is really eye-opening to see that primitive accumulation can be carried out without any moral burden.
The bureaucrats of the Ming Dynasty were envious of the political ecology of the West, which was too free. However, the powerful right-wingers of the Ming Dynasty and the maritime merchants envied these Westerners who got something for nothing. This was a strong restriction from the court, which made them unable to compete overseas. arrive.
"They will be wronged to death! If you don't live up to your expectations, you will blame the imperial court for everything!" Wang Chonggu said angrily: "What kind of virtues do you have that you don't know? Where the navy of the Ming Dynasty cannot reach, the merchant ships of the Ming Dynasty cannot reach it." If they are willing to go, if they are bullied outside, they will cry to the court and tell them, is it their father or mother? Now they blame the court for not giving them enough freedom to plunder overseas."
"Give them a chance. Can they steal useless things from other merchants in Taixi? "
Shanxi merchants have the confidence to scold Kaihai merchants.
Shanxi merchants can turn Tatar women into Datong women and sell them all over the country; Shanxi merchants can lend usury and let the grassland people break their guard. The three wives went to the emperor to complain, hoping that Shanxi merchants could restrain themselves; Shanxi merchants Entering the customs as a merchant and leaving the customs as a bandit, none of the merchants along the coast of the Ming Dynasty could do these things.
Wang Chonggu, who was born in a Shanxi merchant family, looked down upon the merchants on the southeast coast. In his opinion, the maritime merchants could not be conquered externally, so they had to oppress internally. The main thing here was the competition for interests. Opening up the sea would bring huge profits, and Jin Businessmen can't get involved, so they can only get a share of the pie by following His Majesty to invest in the sea.
"Ci Fu, calm down, calm down. What these cheap Confucians say is not completely unreasonable. At least one thing is very correct. When doing sea trade business, you must not be too kind." Zhang Juzheng I don’t think this kind of public opinion is a big problem. When Ming Dynasty was engaged in maritime trade, he always wanted everyone to be decent, but in fact, in the game of maritime trade, kindness equals being easy to bully.
With this kind of public opinion, at least the merchants of the Ming Dynasty went out and had a basic sense of vigilance towards these overseas barbarians. This is the best result.
It is impossible to change the strategy. The income of the main Ming species is much higher than what was robbed, and it is more stable. It is difficult for Ming to give up the business thinking that has lasted for thousands of years and rob.
Taiwan has the national conditions of the West, and the Ming Dynasty has the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty.
"In fact, I have been paying attention to the public opinion field recently. There is a trend of public opinion that is worthy of attention. This is all my fault. I should not speak out because of this contradiction." Zhang Juzheng was very annoyed. He said that he regretted a little. He was beaten with a big hammer and a small hammer by the little emperor for a long time, which led to the contradiction.
As soon as Wang Chonggu heard this topic, he immediately chose to shut up, and even just bowed his head to drink tea. The courtiers who accompanied His Majesty on the southern tour of the Ming Dynasty drank tea, took naps, and even Qi Jiguang He seemed to be thinking about something and his eyes were avoiding him.
Obviously, in everyone's eyes, this is a topic that cannot be touched.
There is a miscellaneous newspaper in Nanya, which analyzes the theory of contradiction in detail, and finally reaches a correct conclusion. The theory of contradiction is an anti-thief speech, and Zhang Juzheng is unfaithful and unfilial, and is a sycophant of the country.
The key is the completeness of its logic, the tightness of the argument, without any flaws, and the conclusion is completely correct.
Zhang Juzheng is an unfaithful and unfilial traitor. He even recognized it himself and regretted that this contradiction emerged.
Zhu Yijun said very calmly: "I read that article and it makes sense, but he has the ability to cause causes. In the thirteen years since I have been on the throne, I have never seen such a powerful person. "
As soon as these words came out, the ministers and ministers looked at the emperor with expressions that were a bit unbearable. The emperor really learned the trick of the humble Confucian who told lies with his eyes open!
This influential critical editorial on the Theory of Contradiction was read by all the courtiers and Qi Jiguang. Even Zhang Juzheng recognized the criticism of himself in the article and admitted that he was a rebel in front of the emperor.
Your Majesty actually said that others are pouring out the consequences for the causes? Who is turning the consequences into causes? !
This editorial is mainly based on one point of view: the theory of contradictions completely disintegrates the theory of destiny. The theory of contradictions can solve social conflicts. The power to cut down must be bold and right, and the emperor who cuts you will be even more powerful! You emperor, don’t forget that you are the most powerful and powerful person in the world!
According to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Kublai Khan was a real person in the grassland, and the Ming Dynasty was destined by destiny. It brought order and stability, and then obtained political power. It was extremely legal. This was the legal source of the old Zhu family's becoming emperor. The king, the king, the minister, the father, the son, and the son live under this kind of ethical code, and it continues like this.
But contradictions arise, talking about the two sides of everything being one, and the other side of destiny. Since you have brought order and stability, it is reasonable for you to rule the world. Your old Zhu family can no longer bring order and peace to the Ming Dynasty. Stability, does it mean that the world will be destroyed? To those who can bring order and stability?
The theory of contradiction has only one rule for the legitimacy of political power: he who can bring peace to the world should be the king.
Obviously, the hereditary and indiscriminate emperor system cannot always bring peace to the world. Just look at Zhu Yijun and Zhu Yili, two biological brothers. They are two completely different types of people. The hereditary and indiscriminate emperor is destined to lose the world. Because it is impossible for all the emperor's family to be Mingjuns and Holy Lords, and it is impossible to keep the world in peace all the time.
This throne will be occupied by a virtuous person, not a person named Zhu.
So, in the eyes of the Confucian scholar who wrote this editorial, the theory of contradiction is a theory that reverses the principles of monarch and minister. It is incredible that the emperor still supports such a theory.
“You guys, you still haven’t learned the essence of the theory of contradiction.” Zhu Yijun looked like he hated iron and said with certainty: “The theory of contradiction has always been just a way of thinking about problems. To put it simply, it is what Confucius said, think twice before taking action, see the advantages and disadvantages, and then look at it comprehensively, weigh the pros and cons, and then decide whether to do it. ”
"The theory of contradiction is not an anti-thief speech, it is just a tool. Only when the anti-thief looks at the theory of contradiction will he see that he is conspiring to rebel."
"According to his statement, Mencius also said: The five virtues of a gentleman are The benevolence of a gentleman has been exhausted in a few generations. Then it is time to change the king. Is Meng Shengren a traitor too? "
Wan Shihe whispered: "Your Majesty, Taizu. Emperor Gao removed eighty-five articles from "Mencius" and issued an edict in the third year of Hongwu. From now on, within the eighty-five articles, students will not be selected by propositions and the imperial examination will not be selected, leaving only one hundred and seventy-four. Article, this sentence said by His Majesty was also taken out. "
In the third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang deleted Mencius and made it similar to "If the king treats his ministers like grass and grass, then his ministers will treat him like a piece of grass." The anti-thief remarks such as "The people are the most important, the country is the second most important, and the ruler is the least important", "If the ruler has serious faults, he will give advice, if he repeats it and refuses to listen, he will change his position" and other anti-thief remarks, all have been deleted.
Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said: "Old Wange, it is true that it has been deleted, but in the "Mencius" I read, these are still there. Mr. also mentioned it when he was giving the banquet. It is not just the imperial examination, and It’s not completely deleted and can’t be seen. You haven’t read it? Of all the people here, who hasn’t read it?”
Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to delete those 85 items. ? The "Mencius" published during the Wanli period was all in its entirety. At most, when teaching, students were told that it would not be tested in the imperial examination. Zhu Yijun could not find even an abridged version, and he read the entire version.
“Let’s go back to the content of this article. He said that the one who can bring peace to the world should be the king. There is no problem with this. The Ming Dynasty will fall sooner or later. There is no doubt about it. , Xia, Shang, Zhou, Qin, Han, Jin, Tang, Song, and Yuan Dynasties, who can escape? Since the world cannot be settled and defended, it will perish, just like people cannot live forever. "Zhu Yijun is very positive. Answered this question clearly.
The ministers looked at His Majesty the Emperor dumbfounded.
Only then did Zhang Juzheng realize a serious problem. The emperor was a rebel at heart!
After the first volume of Class Theory and the second volume were distributed into books, the emperor has been urging the publication of the third and fourth volumes. Zhang Juzheng did not write it because he had already understood the four natural inferences. It stopped at distribution, but His Majesty kept urging.
As Zhu Yijun's teacher, Zhang Juzheng knew the emperor very well. The emperor was very smart. He could see the four inferences. How could your majesty not see it? If he doesn't write it, the emperor will finish it even if he pretends to have his name on it!
As long as I am left-wing enough, everyone will be right; as long as I am rebel enough, everyone will be loyal.
So in your Majesty's view, it is wrong to deduce the effect that Zhang Juzheng was a rebel from the cause of contradiction. Zhang Juzheng, the emperor himself, was a rebel, so there is this effect of contradiction.
The Theory of Contradiction is a joint work of the emperor and Zhang Juzheng. This was clear at the beginning of its publication. "Your Majesty, I think this issue can be stopped here. It is just a Confucian scholar's chatter. There is no need to delve too deeply into it." Qi Jiguang, as a general, opposed an in-depth analysis of this issue.
Almost done! There is no such thing as rebelling against thieves. Your Majesty is a wise king and a holy master. He who brings peace to the world should be a king. Isn’t it that your majesty is to bring peace to the world?
As for future generations? Later generations will say it again, they themselves failed to live up to expectations and lost the world. Do they blame their ancestors for being too live up to expectations? That doesn't make sense.
Taking a step back, the theory of contradiction is also raising the lower limit of the ruling class. It is obvious to the progress of the country, Korea and the Central Plains, and we should think twice before acting.
"What is the name of this Confucian scholar?" Wang Chonggu asked Wan Shihe with some curiosity. His signature was a pen name, called Xuan Hushanren, but those who could publish articles in newspapers were reported to the Ministry of Rites. Yes, the Ministry of Rites knows exactly who this person is.
The reason why Wang Chonggu asked this person’s true identity in front of everyone was actually for protection, because everyone knew who was criticizing Zhang Juzheng. Once this person was unlucky, it would be Zhang Juzheng who used his great Bullying is bullying the weak.
Wang Chonggu was very happy to cause trouble for others, especially for Zhang Juzheng.
"A native of Fahuahui in Shanghai County, his name is Xu Guangqi. He is a disciple of Jiao Hong, the number one scholar in the second year of Wanli, a disciple of Geng Dingxiang. He is a disciple of the Taizhou School." Wan Shihe thought about it for a while before opening his mouth to explain this person. He hurriedly said: "Xu Guangqi is only twenty-three years old this year. Young people are full of energy."
"The Taizhou School is all opinion baskets." Wang Chonggu was a bit gloating about his misfortune, and Zhang Juzheng rarely suffered defeats. , a young man can debate Zhang Juzheng to the point where he admits that he is also a rebel, which shows his intelligence.
If Zhang Juzheng wants to embarrass Xu Guangqi, then the Jin Party must protect him. If for no other reason than to make Zhang Juzheng sick, it would be great! Zhang Juzheng, who was invincible and had won all his life, was defeated. This was a rare scene.
The Ming Emperor’s southern tour brought some tangible changes. For example, the opium dens from Tianjin that flowed into Shandong were raided by the Ming Emperor’s Tiqi. Shandong also kept a close eye on the officials on the ground in Shandong. Further cleanup was carried out; when they arrived in Xuzhou, the four prefects of Xuzhou dug four large pits, and the emperor also carried out a certain range of treatment. Soon, briquettes were sold on the ground in Xuzhou.
The coal from Xuzhou is transported to Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Songjiang Prefecture, but it will not stay in Xuzhou. In fact, the reason is very simple. In the past, there were coal mines in Xuzhou, and these coal miners were all from Merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou hired Xuzhou locals to dig coal and transport the coal back. This was a kind of path dependence. After the Ming Dynasty coal and steel monopoly, Xuzhou ground officials were still Xiao Gui and Cao Sui. Under inertia, they still transported coal to Suzhou and Hangzhou.
This is the ingrained instinct of bureaucrats: to resist change as long as they can barely function.
To Zhu Yijun's surprise, Nanya's resistance to the New Deal was so intense that it far exceeded the imagination of the Ming emperors and ministers. This resistance was reflected in everything.
For example, in the Xuzhou coal incident, after the coal and steel monopoly in the Ming Dynasty, all coal mines were taken over by the local government as government-owned. However, Nanya's common practice was to follow the imperial court's orders and use various methods to take over the coal mines as government-owned. , the most common method is to use a certain amount of currency to redeem them. After all, opening kilns also requires money, but after Xuzhou redeemed them with currency, these government-owned coal mines were still handed over to the original merchants to operate them.
The local government spent money to purchase the ownership of the coal kiln, but its operation was still in the hands of these merchants. The merchants suddenly changed and became miscellaneous officials of the local government. In other words, they spent money but got nothing. Nothing was done. The money used to redeem the coal mines actually fell into the pockets of individuals during the implementation of the decree. All the coal mines' operating methods remained unchanged.
However, the most frightening thing about the whole process is that it was completely legal. It not only complied with the decrees of the imperial court, but also did not disturb the local area, let alone cause conflicts. You are good, I am good, everyone is good, but the people are not good, and the craftsmen are not good.
There are none of the official residences, third-level schools, craftsmen schools, and Huimin Pharmacy that should be there.
This is the Wanli New Deal implemented by Nanya. When Tiqi figured out what happened in the coal mine, even Wang Chonggu, who was a rebel, was surprised.
This is just a matter of obedience and disobedience. On the surface, the government order is followed, but in fact nothing has changed.
But everyone has gained huge benefits in this reform process, especially these merchants, who are very happy to cooperate, because after the implementation of the New Deal, these merchants are no longer merchants, but official businessmen. , this was an identity that was previously elusive. Now, taking advantage of the New Deal, I have it in my hands. The endorsement from the yamen has been unimpeded ever since.
This was Zhu Yijun’s first feeling when he arrived at Nanya Xuzhou Mansion.
“This is very contradictory.” Zhu Yijun said helplessly to the accompanying Queen Wang: “Madam, you said that our reform seems to have succeeded, but it also seems to have failed. The Tiqi we released along the way from Beiya to Shandong all told us that the Wanli Reform was a great success! The endless rows of craftsmen's official houses and the children who went to school happily. "
“When I arrived in Xuzhou, I gave us such a big slap in the face.”
“This slap really hurts.”
Some slightly irritable words from my heart and children , Zhu Yijun could only say this to the queen. He was twenty-three years old and not a child. He could not show weakness in front of anyone, but in front of his wife, he did not have to live with a strong mask.
He is also a living person, sometimes happy, unhappy, and disappointed. Wang Yaozhuo is a safe haven here.
Wang Yaozhuo thought for a while and said with a smile: "I think it's normal. Nanya just lacks a god of killing like Ling Yunyi who doesn't care. As long as there are such characters, they should be cleaned up internally and externally. They We absolutely dare not do this. As a capital city, the Thirteenth House of Nanya is still too big. It is imperative to split it up. If there are six departments without an emperor, isn’t it just a small court? "
When the truth doesn't make sense, physical elimination is usually the only solution.
Your imperial court in the North Yamen is the imperial court, but the six departments in my Nanya Yamen are not the imperial court? With one dynasty and two courts, wouldn't such weird things happen?
Wang Yaozhuo continued: "Furthermore, Nanya is generally disrespectful. What a bastard Lei Shizhen, the magistrate of Yizhou, indulged in the opium den, but Lei Shizhen knew that His Majesty was coming, so he still ordered the whole city to be destroyed. The house was cleaned inside and out, and all the tiles on the roof were cleaned. What about Xuzhou? Qian Zhiyi, the prefect of Xuzhou, did not even clean the house on the grounds that it was inconvenient to disturb the people according to the king's orders."
" We saw it." Zhu Yijun nodded and said, "So, we still have to deal with it seriously, otherwise how will others know that I am the emperor? In the future, they will ignore me wherever they go, and my orders will be nothing."
"Let Hai Zongxian take action."
The Ming Dynasty Sword has never been sheathed. Hai Rui has been very professional in investigating and handling this kind of corruption case.
The Ming Emperor was very angry, and the consequences would be really serious. Zhu Yijun did not go on a killing spree, but chose to focus on one thing, which was the Xuzhou Coal Kiln incident.
The prefect of Xuzhou who took office in the fourth year of Wanli and left in the eighth year of Wanli, and now Chen Wuyin, the censor of the capital of Nanya, is Zhu Yijun's target.
Corruption, appeasement, and abuse of power for personal gain immediately satisfied Hai Rui's killing criteria. Hai Rui's people were already cleaning up the Nandu Procuratorate before they even arrived at Nanya.
The root cause of everything is actually the original move of the capital. During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang sent Prince Zhu Biao to Luoyang and Chang'an to see with his own eyes whether it was suitable to move the capital. However, the matter of moving the capital was soon followed by Zhu Biao's return. After arriving at Yingtian Mansion, he fell ill and died, leaving it on hold and becoming Zhu Yuanzhang's unfinished business.
Zhu Di moved the capital in the 19th year of Yongle. The struggle surrounding the move lasted until the 13th year of Zhengtong. After the Mingbao clan went to study in Wala, the final result was achieved and the move was really completed. , everything north of the Yellow River will be lost. This is an inevitable result. In the end, no one will talk about moving back to Nanya.
The promotion of officials in the Fourteenth Prefecture of Nanya is not in the hands of Beiya at all, and it is not in the hands of the emperor. As a result, the entrance examination method of Nanya is being implemented reluctantly, and the New Deal is stumbling. , make some superficial remarks.
“I am a woman, so I don’t understand these things. I feel that they don’t dare to rebel, but they still have the courage to make money in the name of rebellion, and they are lawless.” Wang Yaozhuo didn't understand politics or compromise, so she felt that there were too few kills.
There is a case in "Da Gao" that took place in the 18th year of Hongwu's reign, called the case of arrogant wife.
It is said that Yao Xiaowu in Hongdong County, Shanxi Province had a wife named Shi Lingzhi. She had been married for many years and had three children. However, after many years of marriage, Shi Lingzhi was suddenly accused.
In the early years, Shi Lingzhi had a marriage contract with the eldest son of the Tang family. Later, the war broke out and the eldest son died before they got married. Then Shi Lingzhi married Yao Xiaowu.
But Tang Yinshan, the second son of the Tang family, believed that Shi Lingzhi should be his, because according to the old custom of the Yuan Dynasty, the 'step marriage system', Tang Runshan, as the younger brother, had the right to receive all his elder brother's property, including in name of course. Sister-in-law Shi Lingzhi.
This matter is outrageous. From the magistrate of Hongdong County to the Minister of Justice, everyone thought there was no problem. They all felt that Tang Yinshan's appeal was very reasonable, so they sentenced Shi Lingzhi to Tang Yinshan.
Yao Xiaowu was so angry that he took his wife to the capital and beat the Dengwen drum. When Zhu Yuanzhang found out, he was furious and issued an edict: "The principle of human ethics is the first duty of the Secretary, so he will ignore it, so the Secretary will do it." Behead everywhere.
Chopped it from top to bottom, Ming Xing Bi Jiao.
The most outrageous thing about this matter is that Tang Yinshan's appeal was illegal even in the Yuan Dynasty, because Kublai Khan issued an order when he entered the Central Plains that Han people were not allowed to succeed him. This was a courtesy of the Hu people.
In the first year of Zhishun, the law of the Yuan Dynasty clearly stipulated: From now on, Han and Southern people who take in stepmothers and sisters-in-law will be punished together, with eighty-seven canes for men and women, and fifty-seven floggings for those who preside over the marriage. Next, the matchmaker made forty-seven times, half of the money he hired was without an official position, and the other half was paid to the accuser as a reward. Although I will forgive you, I will leave you.
That is to say, if someone dares to accept step marriage, half of all property will be distributed to the reporter to encourage reporting.
In the Ming Dynasty, it became even more illegal. In the sixth year of Hongwu, the law of the Ming Dynasty clearly stipulated: If a brother dies and takes a sister-in-law, and a brother dies and takes a younger brother's wife, each will be hanged or directly killed.
The Ming officials from top to bottom were able to make such a judgment, and no one corrected their mistakes. This was actually one of the biggest problems in the early years of Hongwu. They did not recognize the Ming regime and recognized the loose rule of the Yuan Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang was too lenient and controlled too much. As the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, he didn't care about anything.
This is a kind of confrontational mood at work. Of course, the confrontation between Shangxiayousi failed because it was illegal even according to the laws of the Yuan Dynasty.
Stepmarriage, a bad custom from the grasslands, was completely abolished after the eighteenth year of Hongwu because of the large number of people killed.
When a problem cannot be solved, you can look to the "Da Gao" written by our ancestors. There are many rough but direct ways to solve the problem.
Wherever the emperor passed, there was bloodshed.
