Chapter 12 Living people can’t feed people!
Li Shanchang’s voice softened.
How could officials like them not know what the outcome was in the history of the Qin Dynasty? If the second generation died, could it be that the Ming Dynasty would also die in the second generation?
This is unlikely.
With Zhu Biao's governance methods, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to fall into the situation of the second generation and die.
And the things His Majesty did for future generations were indeed similar to the First Emperor. He thought that according to his own ideas, the world would be impregnable and the future generations of the Ming Dynasty would have no worries.
But this is obviously impossible.
It's just that His Majesty is too strong today and cannot tolerate anyone's disobedience. If he is even slightly dissatisfied, he will kill and beat him. Therefore, there are very few people to advise him nowadays.
All according to His Majesty’s preference.
Tang Yougong's eyes moved slightly. As the censor of the capital, he had a deep understanding of these words. Your Majesty does not like other people's advice and only listens to suggestions that are pleasant to your ears.
I like to do a lot of things myself.
I don’t like to listen to other people’s ideas. I prefer to come up with my own ideas and ideas, and then let the officials flesh out those ideas.
Among the scholars, peasants, workers, merchants, and soldiers, His Majesty indeed pays more attention to the peasants and soldiers than to the scholars, industry, and merchants.
Agricultural relations have been emphasized and adjusted in various ways from beginning to end, and in terms of soldiers, it is no exception. They have raised troops many times and carried out killings in court and prison.
As for business and industry.
If it weren't for the serious shortage of officials in the imperial court, the Ming Dynasty had already established a firm grip on the world, and the local schools had been under construction for many years, it would be time for the results to be released, otherwise it might take some time for the weightlifting to start.
As for industry and commerce, they completely follow the fish scale atlas of dragons giving birth to dragons and phoenixes giving birth to phoenixes, with strict restrictions and free changes.
The courtiers made suggestions.
But they were all rejected in the end, because His Majesty only believed in what he could accept. Unless it was necessary to change, His Majesty would not change it easily.
Bottoms.
Your Majesty is now a farmer.
I have no intention of taking over the world at all. I only want to be a rich man. Once it comes to areas that His Majesty is not good at, His Majesty will have great resistance and will not move lightly.
Hu Weiyong, Yang Xian and other courtiers complained about these words in private. When the Ming Dynasty was first established, there were still courtiers who advised them.
But without exception they all died.
Over time.
No one dared to persuade him anymore.
At present, many ministers and even scholars of the Ming Dynasty just want to follow His Majesty's wishes and wait for His Highness Zhu Biao to ascend the throne in the future to correct some chaotic political affairs.
But they didn’t expect that these things would be said by an imperial examination candidate in front of so many ministers.
Zhu Biao's eyes were slightly cold.
For this man to comment so much on the Ming Dynasty's national affairs and to slander his father so much, how could he not be angry as a son of a man?
It's just that some of the words, although unpleasant, have to be admitted that they are indeed problems with Ming Dynasty.
After his father unified the world, it was difficult for him to listen to other people's suggestions, and he became too confident and self-willed.
Especially after being betrayed by Hu Weiyong and the death of his mother from illness, his father became increasingly unwilling to believe the words of other ministers.
This.
He also noticed it.
He also quarreled with Zhu Yuanzhang several times, but Zhu Yuanzhang had a very stubborn temperament and rarely really changed it, and it was very difficult for the founder of the country to admit his mistakes.
It’s also unrealistic.
The current political affairs of the Ming Dynasty are basically Zhu Yuanzhang's personal thoughts. Then he made some adjustments on his own initiative. In this way, father and son maintained a tacit understanding of the political affairs.
But the pressure he faces is increasing day by day.
Father is becoming more and more powerful.
Zhu Biao's eyes were slightly closed, with wisps of cold light flashing in his eyes. He had a bold idea in his heart and wanted to submit this 'counter-essay'.
This will anger my father. At the same time, let the father realize the problem and make some attempts to change the Ming government. At least the Ming government should make some adjustments.
As for this person’s life and death.
Zhu Biao doesn't care.
When this person wrote this 'counter-essay', he was already dead, and now he is just maximizing the use value of this person.
If he could make his father understand some of the problems he was having, this person would have deserved his death, and he could just kill the three clans.
Zhu Biao was thinking secretly in his heart.
The palace was dead silent.
No one dared to speak out easily, and many officials even held their breath, fearing that they would make Zhu Biao angry if they made any noise.
Zhu Biao put away his mind, with a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said indifferently: "Mr. Han, continue reading. Although these words are harsh, they do make some sense. I won't be angry yet."
Li Shanchang's eyes Weiyi nodded quickly and said: "Emperor Hongwu has been in power for many years, and his actual governance of the world has only been superficial."
"In other words."
"Only on the surface." The world has been patched up to a certain extent, but it has not been as thorough and consolidated as the Yuan Dynasty Prosecution said. "
"Compared with previous dynasties, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been practical strategies to calm the people. ? Is there a plan to enrich the people? ”
"It's not possible."
"In recent years, the Ming Dynasty has been more concerned about the people's food and drink, from the princes and ministers to the common people."
"Ming's strategy , there is only one starting point."
"Living people can't support people."
"This is how the people of the world work hard and contribute to the Ming Dynasty from generation to generation in exchange for the qualification to support people. .”
"As a king, the person in charge of long-term strategies should devote all his energy to the major affairs of the country, take people's livelihood as the most important thing, take the world as the basis, and develop people's livelihood."
"Look for an acre to produce a thousand catties of grain, and create an iron horse that can travel a thousand miles a day. , slay the enemy's fire dragon thousands of miles away, control the wind and rain, and control everything in the world."
"Only in this way can we rule the world and build a kingdom for all ages." br>
“If you never think about making progress and just focus on the old pots and pans, the world will eventually be led astray. By then, the world will only repeat the old path.”
"The people are not afraid of death, so how can they be afraid of death!"
"The Ming Dynasty conquered the world because it won the hearts of the people. Today's Ming Dynasty is constantly losing the hearts of the people. When the hearts of the people are completely lost, the world will be exposed. When the pole rises again."
"Will anyone be able to hold the world back for Ming Dynasty?"
"No."
"Because Ming Dynasty. Don’t love the people.”
"Having lost the support of the people, and being extremely wary of officials all over the world, why do people dare to throw their heads and blood for the sake of justice?"
"Pink is completely colorless, how could you know that there is glory in the world. Say it to me every year. Silkworms work hard, and they are all covered in ramie. "
"What does the Zhu family have to do with the people?"
Li Shanchang finished reading this counter-proposal word for word, and then said softly. He closed the test paper gently and waited for Zhu Biao to speak.
Wu Gongda, Guo Chong and other officials were still kneeling on the ground tremblingly, their faces pale, and they had no dignity whatsoever as a scholar.
Tang Yougong, Zhao Hao and others also lowered their heads and said nothing, but they sneered in their hearts. The people who wrote the essay took it too much for granted.
I thought that by writing a eloquent article criticizing the current ills, directly opposing the national affairs of the Ming Dynasty, and criticizing His Majesty, I would be able to make His Majesty look at me differently.
Purely thinking too much.
I only care about my heart's contentment. When the sword and ax harm my family, it will be too late to cry bitterly and kneel down to beg for mercy.
Foolish beyond reach.
Your Majesty has come from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. The last thing he fears is killing people!
