After five years of teaching support, Daming became an empire on which the sun never sets.

Chapter 145 Shen Wansan became a fourth-rank official

Even if the emperor ordered the nine clans to be executed, and the people of the Huaixi Party operated behind the scenes, they could still leave one or two descendants for him.But if the Huaixi Party wanted to exterminate it, the eggs would be shaken and turned yellow.

The emperor was far away from him, but the Huaixi Party was by his side and knew him well.

——The most terrifying enemy is often not the distant enemy, but the enemy around you.

The Erhu next to him held the Emperor's Sword and waved his hand, and immediately two guards dragged Cao Liangcai out.

"Do you have any other opinions?" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly, "If you have any opinions, just say them boldly. We would like to hear you express your truest thoughts."

"If we allow you to buy land without restraint, you will buy more land in the future, reaching the size of a king's fief. Do we have to make you a king, so that you can live up to your name?"

When the ministers heard the words, they all fell silent.

"Since everyone doesn't express their opinions, it proves that all of you agree." Zhu Yuanzhang continued, "We are very pleased with your deep understanding and righteousness."

"Next, let's talk about the third point. Although your existing land belongs to you, it is only temporarily owned by you. Its ownership still belongs to the imperial court, and it is only temporarily leased to you by the imperial court."

"After 30 years, all the land will be returned to the imperial court. Remember, during the lease period, your land is not allowed to be transferred and bought and sold at will."

With a 30-year time limit, most of the officials will have died of old age by then.In other words, they can enjoy another 30 years.In this way, they can think a little bit more in their hearts.

"In addition, the land you leased will also be distributed to your descendants and clansmen."

When the ministers heard the words, they fell silent.

"Isn't this the decree of grace? The Emperor Wu of the Han used it on the vassal king, and now the emperor is now selling it and using it on us."

"At the beginning, Wang Mang's imperial edict included 'Allocating Yu Tian to the Neighborhood Party of the Nine Clan', which is also a goddamn favor."

"Wang Mang's New Deal included both the communal land system and the decree of grace, and the history books actually recorded that he was just a tyrant."

"Emperor, you are simply copying Wang Mang."

When Qin Yu was discussing history with the 'Village Chief Huang', he actually copied Wang Mang's set.But the world just saw that Wang Mang's set would eventually fail because it violated the interests of the aristocracy. Only Qin Yu saw that Wang Mang's set could be implemented in the early days of the founding of the country, and only needed a strong and bold founding emperor. .

No one at the scene dared to speak, and just now, one has been beheaded and the other has been dismissed from office.Anyone who stands up and opposes it now will most likely fall to the ground.They had already learned about Zhu Yuanzhang's iron-blooded tactics.

Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong are now unwilling to push out his staff to die. After all, it is not so easy to cultivate or win over a henchman who can speak in court.

"Tomorrow you will hand over all your land deeds to us, and we will let Lu Chang register them one by one, and then exchange a lease for you." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "As for what to do after the land is returned to the imperial court, we will A land ministry will be established to take care of this matter.”

"Come on, follow your orders!"

Although the ministers did not object at this time, their hearts were already overturned.

"Okay, since the first policy of governing the country is not opposed by everyone." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Then let's discuss the second policy of governing the country with the ministers."

No objection?Everyone is against it, but it's no use against it.

discuss?It is a discussion, have you listened to the opinions of the ministers?It's not that the emperor is arbitrary.

The ministers were speechless.

"Recruit Shen Wansan for an audience!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"The emperor invites Shen Wansan to see him!"

"The emperor invites Shen Wansan to see him!"

Because the Fengtian Temple is too far away from the outside, the people outside cannot hear the people inside.Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang's will must be passed on layer by layer to be heard by outsiders.

Shen Wansan got up at the third watch, then took a shower and changed clothes, and waited outside very early.

Today, he seemed very excited. As a grass-roots citizen, it was a great honor to be summoned by the emperor in the Fengtian Temple.

In the past, he, a scholar, peasant, industrial and commercial merchant, lived at the bottom of the society, and even a subordinate official would dare to look down on him.Now that he can be summoned by the emperor in Fengtian Temple, he has a feeling of exaltation.

When you walk in the door, walk with the wind and smile all over your face.

He finally felt that his status was important, and he was valuable in the eyes of the court.Previously, he helped Zhu Yuanzhang repair the city wall and proposed to reward the army, but he felt that he was rich enough to rival the country, but he was looked down upon by everyone, and he felt aggrieved and panicked.

Of course, there is another reason to build the city wall and reward the army, and that is to buy an official position for his son to improve his social status.

But today, his grievances were swept away.

"Caomin Shen Wansan, see His Majesty the Emperor, long live my emperor, long live!"

After Shen Wansan entered the hall, he immediately bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang.After all, he is someone who has seen the world. Although his heart is excited, he is still polite and not panicking.

If ordinary grass people saw the emperor, they would probably tremble.

Although Shen Wansan was not disrespectful, all the civil and military ministers saw him, and the contempt in their hearts could not be concealed.Just a businessman, it is difficult to be elegant in the lobby, and dog meat will not be able to attend the banquet.

"Shen Wansan, I heard that you have a good voice overseas." Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Back to the emperor, Caomin's overseas business is going smoothly." Shen Wansan said, "Businessmen from Siam, Boli, Malacca, Nan'an, Luzon and other countries have business dealings with Caomin... Caomin's caravan The farthest reaches the heavens, Zorfa, Hurumus."

"In addition, Caomin has [-] overseas merchant ships. Basically, every time they go to sea, they leave with a full load of goods and return with a full load. When the fleet of overseas merchants arrives in Daming, they only contact Caomin."

Shen Wansan is not shy about talking about his business as a big deal, but there are some exaggerated elements in it.Because if Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to rectify him, there was no need to call him to Fengtian Temple.

So he felt that the bigger the scale of his business, the better it would be for him.

"You have done a good job, and we appreciate your ability!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "We have created a business department in addition to the six departments. From now on, you are our business department minister, ranking fourth."

The grades of the six ministers are generally the second grade, but Zhu Yuanzhang gave him the grade of the fourth grade.

Actually, became an official?

Hearing this, Shen Wansan couldn't believe his ears. He was so happy!

His whole body trembled with excitement, and he hurriedly knelt down to give the emperor three bows and nine kowtows, shouting, "Caomin Shen Wansan, kowtow to the emperor's long grace! The emperor's mighty long graces the caomin, the caomin..." He didn't know what to say.

He, a businessman who was looked down upon by the world, actually soared into the sky and became an official of the imperial court.

And it's still four!
