"It's only been a few years, and we're going to pay more taxes and take corvee again?" The crowd became worried when they heard that they were going to go to the government office to register again, and they were afraid that the emperor would issue another order to exploit the people again.

China has been ruled by feudal dynasties for thousands of years.

Since ancient times, the people of Xing have suffered, and the people of Wang have suffered.

As soon as the emperor had something to do, he began to search for the people's fat and people's ointment, let the common people bleed, and raised those feudal nobles.There were hundreds of exorbitant and miscellaneous taxes in the former Yuan Dynasty, and the people's lives were worse than death.

So the people were afraid.

As soon as he heard the court's move, he subconsciously felt scared.

"Uncle Zhou, don't worry, since Emperor Zhu came to the throne, when did the Ming Dynasty increase taxes and corvees for the people?" A yamen servant who knew the old man said with a smile, "Our emperor will only do things for the people." well-being, rather than harm to the people.”

"That's true." Uncle Zhou smiled awkwardly and said, "After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, it was indeed the best period of time for the common people."

"Especially recently."

"Brother Li, since it's not about increasing taxes and taking corvee, why did the imperial court re-register everyone?" Another woman asked.

"Let me tell you the truth." Yamen servant Li Xiaoge said, "This is the emperor wanting to send money to the common people!"

"Ten taels of silver will be distributed to each household."

"Registration is to create a ticket number for you in the bank, and then store the money in the ticket number. When you want to withdraw money, you can withdraw it at any time. And if you send money in the future, it will also be issued to this ticket number. above."

"What? The emperor actually sent us money directly!?"

"And it's still ten taels of silver per household!?"

The crowd could hardly believe their ears.

After a while, after figuring out that he was not dreaming, the crowd suddenly exploded.

"Since ancient times, I have only heard that the imperial court oppressed the people. This is the first time that the emperor has given money to the people!" An old man said tremblingly, "Thousands of years, thousands of years, this is the first time times!"

"That's right, that's right!" said a peddler next to him, "I thought that the emperor would be the most wise emperor ever since he didn't collect our poll tax. I never dreamed that the emperor would actually give us money!"

"This Emperor Zhu is simply the most sage emperor in the world."

"Beyond Qin Shihuang and Li Shimin!"

"No, Emperor Zhu is no longer a mortal, he is a god! A real god."

"He is the Bodhisattva who came down to save us."

"That's right, if the emperor didn't come down to earth, how could he do such a thing? For thousands of years in the land of China, no emperor can do it? The emperor is the first to create the world!"

"Emperor Zhu is the one who truly loves the people like a son."

"Compared to Emperor Zhu, the emperors of other dynasties are rubbish who can only shout slogans! They keep saying that they are benevolent and love the people, but I don't see them doing anything to benefit the people."

"Emperor Zhu, treat our people as his own people, as relatives!" A woman said, crying excitedly, "I heard that Emperor Zhu was also from a peasant background, so he really is on the side with us."…

What excited her was not the ten taels of silver, but that the emperor took the common people as his own.

The people in Yingtian Mansion are generally rich now, and ten taels of silver is actually not their word.

But the emperor gave them money, at least it shows an attitude, the emperor is really good to the people.

It is not perfunctory, or just shouting slogans every day.

"Giving money directly to the people is the real benefit to the people." A scholar who only studied in a private school for two years said, "Because in this way, layers of corrupt officials have been bypassed, making it impossible for them to get what they want. "

"If the money is allocated to the officials and let them distribute it, it should be ten taels of silver per person, but in the hands of the common people, it is estimated that there are only ten taels of silver."

"Even, some people can't even get a penny."

"The relatives who are officials will get hundreds or thousands of taels."

"The emperor's move is not only beneficial to the people, but also a great wisdom."

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

A group of people spontaneously knelt down and bowed three times and nine times to Emperor Zhu.

I couldn't be more excited.

As long as the emperor treats them a little better, they will know how to be grateful.

Instead, go against the emperor when you are full and have nothing to do.

Still the same sentence, since ancient times, only the common people will rebel against the imperial court if their lives are poor.I have never heard of it, and it has never appeared. People are living a better life, but they still have to resist the court.

"Everyone get up," Li Xiaoge, the yamen servant, said, "You kowtow to thank the emperor here, three kowtows and nine kowtows will delay our work."

"It's better to go to the Yamen to register earlier, please support our work."

"Okay, okay, okay." The common people stood up after hearing this, and rushed towards the yamen happily.

"I heard that the emperor now implements the rule of law and distributes money to the people. Is it the way of rule of law?" On the way, Uncle Zhou asked the student who had only been studying for two years.

"Of course it is." The scholar said, "I have also switched to Taoist classics these days." All Confucian classics were burned, and he couldn't do it if he didn't want to read Taoist classics.

"The Yellow Emperor's "Sheng Jing" says that those who share the benefits of the world win the world, and those who are good at the benefits of the world lose the world."

"Those who can produce profit are the Dao."

"It means that if the emperor shares the wealth of the world with the people of the world, he will gain the world. If the emperor or those scholar-bureaucrats own the wealth of the world alone, they will lose the world."

"The policy of governing the country that can benefit the people is Taoism."

"So the emperor's move must be moral and political!"

"Taoist governance is much better than Confucian governance!" Uncle Zhou said sincerely.

"Of course it's much better, and it's not the same." The scholar said, "For thousands of years in the land of China, almost all dynasties have been using Confucianism to govern the country. How can the people live a good day with Confucianism?"

"As soon as Emperor Zhu began to implement Taoism, the people immediately felt better."

"Your Majesty is doing the right thing by sweeping away Confucianism and respecting Taoism!" Uncle Zhou sighed again.

"Actually, you don't know." At this time, Li Xiaoge, the yamen servant next to him, said, "The measure of distributing money to the people was actually told by Mr. Qin, the dean of Jixia Academy."

"Although the emperor has implemented the rule of law, he didn't have any clues before."

"It was Mr. Qin's words that woke up the emperor."

"The dean of Jixia Academy?!" The common people trembled when they heard the words.

They have also seen the Jixia Academy on the top of Zhongshan Mountain, that Academy is just like the legendary shrine.Let them see that splendid and majestic school, and they subconsciously have an urge to worship.
