First Minister of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 182: Doing hard work

Without a common ideology, no matter how many soldiers and horses are, they are all a mob, unable to withstand the wind and rain. However, building consensus and forming a unified ideological understanding is not something that can be done easily.

Everyone has their own interests. Starting from their own, the results are naturally strange and unimaginable. It is like a Han doctor who has common interests with Mongolian nobles. In their opinion, the Red Turban Army is even more terrible than the Yuan court. The presence.

Today's Zhu Jiajun needs to clear the source, clean up the wrong ideas, and truly realize the unity of thought.

Zhu Yuanzhang's solemn gaze swept over everyone, and finally landed on Liu Bowen. Lao Zhu didn't think he would agree at all, just based on what he just said, he can use this head to sacrifice the flag!

Sure enough, Liu Bowen said solemnly: "I am a minister of Dayuan, unfortunately I fell into the thief's camp and I will die. Please give me a good time!"

He really wants to die!

Zhang Ximeng said before Zhu Yuanzhang, "You haven't said what you just said, do you agree or disagree? Avoiding the important is not a gentleman's act!"

Liu Bowen became more and more embarrassed, and his old face flushed. In fact, when he saw the sixteen words, he had already thought of many things. To expel the Hulu and restore China.

It is equivalent to treating the Yuan court as a barbarian barbarian, destroying the Yuan court and restoring the Han family.

Of course, it's not enough to offset some people's nostalgia for Yuan Ting. There are many factors involved, including personal emotional issues and rejection of the Rebel Army, but in the final analysis, it is still a matter of interests.

That's why there are the last eight characters, dividing the land equally and helping the people!

Historically, the Central Plains decree used Li Gang Chen Ji. In fact, by comparing the difference between the two, you can understand the intention of the proposer. Li Gang Chen Ji means that the Yuan court’s rule collapsed and the Gang Ji was destroyed, so the common people suffered. Suffering, we crusade the Yuan court, in order to restore the Gangji.

What kind of Tsunami was restored? Naturally, it is the order of three principles and five constants, the order that Confucian scholars and officials have always sung about.

And this slogan also implies a layer of meaning. At the beginning of the founding of the country, the Yuan court was destined to return and established an order. Later, the emperor behind him was too stretched, so he had to launch an army to attack.

This also coincides with a lot of what Lao Zhu said about the Yuan court... To put it bluntly, it was Zhu Yuanzhang's compromise to the old bureaucrats of the Yuan court and to the entire group of scholars and landlords.

Has the dignified Emperor Hongwu also compromised?

Nonsense, if he doesn't compromise, how can he sit on the dragon chair!

The difference between Zhu Yuanzhang and ordinary people is that he has a knife in his heart, and the compromise is only temporary. When he has the opportunity, he will definitely fight back.

From the beginning of his ascension to the throne, until his death... No matter how much pressure or difficulty there is, Zhu Yuanzhang has completed this road, always consistent, and never forgets his original intention.

Perhaps this is the charm of Zhu Yuanzhang!

However, after Zhang Ximeng's revision, the establishment of principles and disciplines has become a clear and clear division of land and acres. That is to say, anyone who does not care about the annexed land and let it go is a big mistake. According to this standard, it is not just Zhao Song who is wrong!

You must know that all the landowners of aristocratic families and wealthy families are chasing land. It is their instinct to annex fields and acres. They rely on the land to collect rent and enjoy the profits. .

However, once it was proposed to divide the land equally, that is to say, the annexation of the land by the entire Jinshen landlord group became unfair. It is equivalent to digging the ancestral grave of the scholar group.

Liu Bowen is so smart, how can he not understand the powerful relationship.

But the more he understood, the more frightened he became. The reason was very simple. He could reject Zhu Yuanzhang and become a pure minister of the Yuan Dynasty. In this way, even if he died, he would not lose his reputation.

His behavior is still in line with the general morality of the scholar group, and some people even praise his integrity, which can still be recognized within the scholar group.

For many scholars, this is enough. On the contrary, being rejected by the world's group and being criticized by thousands of people will lead to a more tragic end. Life is not as good as death, and it will bring disaster to children and grandchildren... Just like the old man Yan Ge, who became the number one traitor, And Xu Ge is still regarded by many people as the famous figure of ZTE, but if you look closely at the actions of the two people, it seems that they are half a catty...

Therefore, the word "Equally divided fields and acres" has an unparalleled lethality, belonging to the three-body star level.

The smarter you are, the more you understand its power.

Where did Zhu Yuanzhang dug out this young man, he is really cunning and eccentric, hard to resist!

"There is no king's land in the world, and no king's ministers are the shores of the land. You say that the land is divided equally, but in the final analysis, the land and mu are the family's private property!" Liu Bowen's eyes were sharp, and he decided to make a desperate fight. The old man's head can be cut off, blood can flow, and the truth can't be lost!

In the face of Liu Bowen's question of punishment, Zhang Ximeng said calmly, "You said that there is no king's land in the world, and all the crops produced in the fields that day were dedicated to the royal family? Or maybe a royal family ate up all the output?"

Liu Bowen was startled, "Of course the emperor's family can't afford these taxes, but the ministers are the emperor's retainers, and the soldiers are the emperor's personal soldiers, so why not support the emperor's family?"

"That's right, it boils down to the emperor's family. Let's ask the scholars all over the world, and what is the purpose of self-cultivation and balancing the family and governing the country? Why don't all of them become servants of the emperor?" Zhang Ximeng said calmly, "Go ahead, the emperor. The residence is just a palace, and the meals must be eaten separately. There are thousands of courtiers, and it is only for the emperor... Not to mention the officials of various ministries, provinces and prefectures, who uphold the laws of the state and govern the people. They are all humble social instruments. The common people pay the land tax and support the officials so that someone can judge right and wrong, maintain the discipline, and protect the country and the people.”

"The Son of Heaven cannot rule the world alone, nor can the Son of Heaven enjoy all the offerings of the trillions of people alone... After all, there is no king's land in the whole world. Enjoy, the justice of the emperor's distribution, the people are convinced, the world is prosperous and the people are safe. The emperor's distribution is unfair, the world is turbulent, the country is turbulent, displaced people are everywhere, rebels are everywhere, and someone needs to come out to redistribute the land. Only those who can divide the land well can Lord of the Kings, sit on the dragon chair!"

"What the Son of Heaven has is not the land, but the right to distribute the land. The courtiers are not the retainers of the Son of Heaven, but the virtuous, talented and virtuous people selected by the Son of Heaven from among the billions of people, to assist the Son of Heaven and distribute the land. , to maintain the principles of discipline, protect the people, and do a good job of public utensils... The Son of Heaven accepts the orders of Heaven and conforms to the will of the people. Officials are ordered by the Emperor to take care of the people. The people want justice, and the people want justice. There are all kinds of fairness and all kinds of fairness, and the core is only acres of land! Therefore, the equal distribution of acres is the core of the core!"

Zhang Ximeng finished speaking in one breath, and then looked at the audience, all of them were silent, and the needles could be heard falling.

After a while, there were all sighs and frowns, and Liu Ji was not the only one!

There are not a few masters present, Jia Lu is second to none, and Zhu Sheng's level is also top.

Besides Li Xi and Tao An, they are both well-known Confucian scholars.

In addition to them, several important officials captured by the Yuan court were not simple figures, especially Gong Bosui, who participated in the revision of history and served as a counselor to Tuotuo.

It was just Li Shanchang. Although he was the head of Zhu Yuanzhang's ministers, he came from a small official background and was always busy with specific government affairs.

Hearing Zhang Ximeng's mostly retreat speech, he didn't know much. What did you say, it's just an ordinary argument, and even if the superior becomes the emperor, I'm afraid it won't be able to do it, it's all flashy things.

He was not in a state of affairs, but among this group of people, Gong Bosui was the first to stand up and bow deeply.

"Zhang Gong Gao's argument, let Zaimao talk about it. I also have a few thoughts and experiences. I want to say it, but I don't want to spit it out!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "Please enlighten me!"

Gong Bo then coughed, and then said loudly: "The ruler of Han and Tang Dynasties, at the beginning of the establishment of the country, rested with the people, granted the people land, benevolent to the people, and returned to their hearts. Therefore, the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties was achieved. Although the ruler of the early Song Dynasty had the heart of loving the people, he did not. Suppressing annexation, although the country is prosperous and the people are very difficult... Therefore, the country's strength is not as good as it is day by day, and it is defeated by the Khitan, Jin, and Mongolia, until the country is destroyed!"

"The emperor of the Yuan Dynasty had no love for the people, and no desire to suppress mergers. Instead, he encircled acres of land, squeezed the people, and enslaved thousands of Han people with Mongolians and Semu people. The government was dark and intrigued with each other. Use the treasury to buy people's hearts. After he ascended the throne, he plundered and acted recklessly. How could such a monarch not perish! Such a country, how could he not lose his life!

After Gong Bosui finished speaking, Jia Lu actually sighed, "Between the sky and the earth, with the sky above your head and the thick soil under your feet, giving the people land and acres is the foundation for the people to settle down! Merging the land and acres is to cut off the vitality of the people. Since there is no hope of survival, Naturally, we must strike up a blow, cut wood into soldiers, and start an uprising. If a husband is in trouble, the society will collapse. Yuan Tingkong has a million troops, but he is defeated by a stone man~lightnovelpub.net~ This lesson can be said to be unforgettable!"

Zhu Sheng stroked his palm and said, "The Son of Heaven is ordered by Heaven, divides the land equally, and takes care of the people. The ministers follow the orders of the Emperor and the herdsmen. Although the people worship the Son of Heaven and officials, they are not fish and meat for what they ask for.

When Zhu Sheng said this, his eyes glowed, his beard fluttered, and he was in high spirits.

"Zhang experience, the way you speak can be said to be the perfect principle of heaven and earth, and it is unknown that he will surpass Zhu Zi in the future!"

With these words alone, can you surpass Sage Zhu Xi?

Li Shanchang was still dizzy.

Liu Bowen said coldly, "You are bragging about yourself, in the end, it's not just sitting on the talk, empty talk is just misleading the country!"

Zhang Ximeng smiled, "Empty talk is certainly wrong for the country, but these words are not empty talk!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and bowed deeply to Zhu Yuanzhang, "My lord, this minister thinks that it should be in the southern part of the Yangtze River, and the division of the land should be carried out. I ask your lord's permission!"

Just after he finished speaking, Jia Lu, Zhu Sheng, Tao An, Li Xi, and Li Shanchang, who was half a beat too late, all stood up and bowed together, "Please grant your permission!"

Zhu Yuanzhang blushed, and he understood most of what Zhang Ximeng said. After all, he read books with Zhang Ximeng for several years, and he knew what Zhang Ximeng thought.

But now Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't mind the shackles that Zhang Ximeng puts on the emperor... On the contrary, what he prefers is that Zhang Ximeng treats us as the emperor!

We really have the emperor's life?

Lao Zhu's whole body was boiling with enthusiasm, "Okay, let's do it according to Mr. Zhang's wishes!"

At this moment, Zhang Ximeng turned his head and smiled at Liu Bowen, and said calmly, "Now it's not just empty talk, but actual practice and hard work to rejuvenate the country!"
