Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 73 Only if there are monarchs like Yao and Shun, will there be subjects like Yao and Shun
Zhu Youxiao frowned: "So, they know my identity, is this intentional to show off in front of me?"

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Exactly!"

Zhu Youxiao let out a sigh of relief, looked at Zhang Haogu and said, "Master, this is not good!"

"Why not?" Zhang Haogu asked back.

Zhu Youxiao said seriously: "This is not done out of sincerity, they are not doing things for the common people, they are for me!"

"Your Majesty, I have a question for you!"

Zhang Haogu smiled, and said slowly: "Whether they are sincere or hypocritical, are they serious about doing things for the common people? Are the ultimate beneficiaries the common people?"

"This……"

Zhu Youxiao fell into deep thought.

What Zhang Haogu said seems to be correct.

Regardless of whether they are sincere or hypocritical, at the very least, they are all doing things seriously, and it seems that these people are really the ones who have really benefited in the end.

"It seems that the people can really benefit!" Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment, and then asked seriously: "But, they are deceiving me, and their benevolence to the people is all pretending, and it is only in the capital now. , if they leave and I can’t see them, what will happen to them?”

"The emperor is the son of heaven!"

Zhang Haogu continued: "But you know, this is the word "upper and lower"?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Zhen, of course I know, what does the master mean?"

Zhang Haogu said: "In the past, King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty built a big pool in his palace, and the pool was filled with fine wine. This pool is so big that everyone can swim in it. If you want to drink, you can drink a bowl of wine. .And the meat forest kills all the hunting animals, cuts them up and hangs them on the tree. The emperor thinks, how much does it cost?"

Zhu Youxiao thought for a while, and looked at Zhang Haogu strangely: "Master said so, it seems that it won't cost a lot of money!"

"However, what Jiuchi Roulin shows is an attitude, which shows that King Zhou needs this kind of extravagant life!"

Zhang Haogu said slowly: "When King Zhou, as a king, begins to covet extravagant life, his subjects must follow the example of the king!"

"The emperor is extravagant, and the courtiers have to follow suit. The courtiers will always cater to the emperor, but if it is the other way around, if the emperor wants to lighten the corvee, not pursue luxury, and is willing to rest and live with the people, then the courtiers should also behave well! "

Zhu Youxiao was stunned.

It was the first time he had heard of this theory.

He pondered for a moment, and then continued: "Master, what you mean is, if I am a holy son, then my ministers will also be famous ministers and good ministers?"

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Exactly, Your Majesty, during the period of my great ancestor Gao, he successively dealt with the "Hu Weiyong case", "Kongyin case" and "Guo Huan case". Every time a major case arises, There are tens of thousands of people involved. Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao couldn't see it, and advised Taizu Gao Emperor not to kill any more."

Zhu Youxiao was taken aback for a moment, but Zhang Haogu changed the topic to Zhu Yuanzhang again, and asked curiously, "What happened later?"

Although there is Ming Shilu, Zhu Youxiao will definitely not go to see Ming Shilu when he is full.

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Grandfather Taizu asked someone to take a stick with thorns and threw it in front of Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao, and asked him to pick it up, but Zhu Biao refused. Grandfather Taizu said that this stick is the imperial power , what he did was to remove the thorns on the stick, so that Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao could better inherit the Ming Dynasty!"

Now, Zhang Haogu and Zhu Youxiao also chat a lot, and the relationship between the two is both a teacher and a friend.

In front of Zhu Youxiao, Zhang Haogu also made Zhu Yuanzhang some innocuous jokes more than once or twice, and Zhu Youxiao didn't mind, sometimes it was quite funny.

Hearing Zhang Haogu left a suspense, Zhu Youxiao immediately became curious: "Then, how did Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao answer?"

"Prince Yiwen Zhu Biao said that only with a monarch like Yao and Shun can there be subjects like Yao and Shun." Zhang Haogu said with a smile.

Zhu Youxiao was silent, and after a while he said very seriously: "I think that if this Prince Yiwen really becomes the emperor, it will definitely not be too bad!"

Zhang Haogu smiled, bowed to Zhu Youxiao and said, "Your Majesty, I also hope that you can be a monarch like Yao and Shun!"

Zhu Youxiao suddenly felt a heavy burden on his shoulders.

"Zhen, I will try my best!" Zhu Youxiao said.

"The emperor is not in a hurry!"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "You are the son of heaven, as long as you have a heart of compassion for the people and think about the people in everything, maybe we will make mistakes, but it is not terrible to make mistakes, what is afraid of is that we don't know why we made mistakes, Yao and Shun were not born Even if they are admired by others, they will make mistakes, but they know what it means to correct their mistakes, so they can become holy masters, and I think that the emperor must be able to become a monarch like Yao and Shun!"

"Do you think I can do it?" Zhu Youxiao lacked confidence.

"Of course, the emperor is the smartest thing I have ever seen. The most important thing is that the emperor has a heart of pity for the people. In the past dynasties, which emperor is willing to repair the houses for the people? So far, the emperor has surpassed all previous generations. Ninety percent of the monarch!" Zhang Haogu said with a smile.

"Hey, I feel a little embarrassed when you say that!" Zhu Youxiao smiled shyly.

Zhang Haogu also knew that the little emperor lacked self-confidence, so he had to praise him for nothing to increase his self-confidence.

"Let's get down to business!"

Zhang Haogu said: "Your Majesty, since this Cui Chengxiu wants to take over the three halls, we will take out this model and give it to Cui Chengxiu to make a quotation. The wood is ready-made in the palace, which is a labor cost. Cui Chengxiu came to unify a quotation, and then, you can give him one project of one of the three halls first, and then give him the other two projects!!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "This is a good idea, but, I planned to use these woods to repair houses at the beginning!"

Zhang Haogu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, I think that Master Cui's words are very reasonable. It is better to teach people to fish than to give them fish. If everything is to be solved by us, it is just to temporarily let them have no food and clothing. Worry, it won’t work in the long run, and again, the wood in the three main halls is all high-quality wood, for the common people, what they need is definitely not high-quality wood, but a small wooden house that can shelter from the wind and rain!"

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "It makes sense, just as the master said, let this Cui Chengxiu try first!"
