Daming: Old Zhu, we agreed not to rush!

Chapter 235 It's Simple, That's Why It Works
The evil of human nature is immeasurable.

Su Jing's words made Zhu Yuanzhang realize the seriousness of the problem.

"No, I'm afraid it's too late tomorrow, I have to go tonight."

Zhu Biao's face darkened.

Now that you know that the other party may have committed such atrocities, you can't delay.

"I'll go, I'll be alone."

Mu Ying took the initiative to speak.

The inn is still far away from the barracks, and Mu Ying went there alone, and it was even faster.

"No, don't go again tonight."

Su Jing directly stopped Mu Ying and Zhu Biao and said, "Since people can do this kind of thing and pass so late, then anything can happen."

Su Jing never minded making people think a little bit badly, even if she wanted to fight an injustice, she had to pay attention to her own safety.

"Mr. Su, it's impossible, they dare not touch me yet."

Mu Ying said to Su Jing.

He has already revealed the identity of Zhu Yuanzhang's righteous son, no matter how daring those guys are, they don't have the courage.

If this is really knowing Mu Ying's identity and attacking, it is no different from rebellion.

For this crime, beheading is a minor crime, and it is normal to punish the Jiuzu.

Mu Ying believed that the newly appointed chief general might protect his weaknesses, but he shouldn't be so stupid.

"Forget it, Brother Mu, we'd better go tomorrow, a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall."

Zhu Biao persuaded Mu Ying.

Although he also knew Mu Ying's identity, the possibility of the other party getting angry and directly attacking him was extremely low.

But what Su Jing said about the evil of human nature is not unreasonable.

Zhu Biao also felt that he was too impatient in handling this matter.

Seeing this, Mu Ying also nodded and said: "Alright then, let's go and have a look tomorrow."

Su Jing looked at the two of them and said: "It can be seen that you two are very surprised by this kind of thing, right?"

When Mu Ying and Zhu Biao saw the change of shopkeeper, their faces almost had writing on their faces.

"Mr. Su, I am also a soldier. I really can't believe that this kind of thing happened. The Ming army has always demanded strict military discipline. I really can't believe that this kind of thing will happen."

Mu Ying said angrily.

After leading the army for many years, Mu Ying was deeply influenced by Zhu Yuanzhang, and her troops were also very loved by the people.

Mu Ying only felt that Daming's army had been discredited.

Zhu Biao said: "Master Su, why is this happening? General Zhang didn't do very well at the beginning, and he was also promoted. Why do the people who come after him want to fish and meat the common people? The students really can't figure it out."

Zhang Yongxian's promotion has a lot to do with Zhu Biao.

The prince mentioned a military officer in a local county, and Zhu Yuanzhang remembered it.

Coupled with the incident of apologizing to the shopkeeper in the street at that time, it naturally won Zhu Yuanzhang's favor.

In Zhu Biao's mind, this is a positive guide.

If you love the people, you can get promoted. In this way, successors will continue to care for the people just like Zhang Yongxian.

The revenge of those soldiers should not have happened.

"Niu Yi, your thinking is too simple."

Su Jing looked at Zhu Biao and said, "You should write to your father about Zhang Yongxian's matter."

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Yes, Master Su, for such an officer, students naturally have to recommend it to their father."

Su Jing spread his hands and said, "That's right. If you didn't come to Jiaxiang County, it's not too far from Yingtian Mansion, but what happened in Jiaxiang County, do you think it can be spread to Yingtian Mansion?"

"On the contrary, these soldiers wantonly oppressed the people in the local area. Without your presence, would they be punished as they should be?"

"In other places in Daming, do you think there is no such thing going on?"

"Those oppressed people, who should they go to?"

With a few words, Su Jing revealed the reality.

Zhu Biao is the core and key of everything.

"Master Su, I..."

Zhu Biao was speechless and wanted to continue to say something, but he didn't know what to say.

Mu Ying said: "Mr. Su, what you mean is that it's hard to get rewarded for doing good deeds, and hard to get punished for doing bad deeds. Is that why this happened?"

Su Jing looked at Mu Ying and nodded, "That's right, brother Wen Ying, you summed it up very well."

"The Ming Dynasty has the Law of the Ming Dynasty, and the army of the Ming Dynasty also has military laws. The rewards and punishments are actually very clear."

"It's a pity that without a system to ensure that these reward and punishment systems can be effectively implemented, all kinds of chaos will naturally arise."

From an orphan in troubled times, Su Jing gradually established her own business empire in Lishui County.

He has seen much more darkness than Zhu Biao and Mu Ying.

As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to find, but the imp is hard to deal with.

The lower the level, the more messy things will happen.

"Master Su, how should we solve this matter?"

Zhu Biao asked Su Jing.

Su Jing shrugged and said: "It can't be solved, human nature has good and evil, so we can only rely on the system, but the system needs people to implement it."

"Unless every executor is guaranteed to be dedicated to the public, this is impossible. People will have selfishness."

"Saints are a minority after all, but the Ming Dynasty has a vast territory, and the people living in it are the majority."

Let alone the Ming Dynasty, similar things happened even in Su Jing's previous life.

This is not a problem that can be solved at this stage.

Zhu Biao was silent, deeply depressed.

Obviously seeing a problem but not being able to solve it is like seeing a disease but being told it is incurable.

"Mr. Su, I think such things are rare. Daming's military discipline is still commendable."

Mu Ying spoke from the side.

After all, he has personally led the army for many years. As a general, he has a deep affection for the Ming army.

Even if it was Su Jing's words, he still had to refute.

Su Jing replied: "Perhaps, it is impossible for me to investigate the situation of the entire Ming Dynasty, but brother Wenying, even if it is only one ten thousandth, for the former innkeeper's family, that is ten thousand!"

"Also, if we don't come back today, do you think those soldiers won't harm other people again?"

"As long as there is one, the people who suffer are all."

Speaking of this, Su Jing was also a little excited.

He always thought that he was underestimating these things, but he didn't expect his mood to fluctuate while talking.

Mu Ying was speechless and could only sit in a daze.

Even if it is only one ten-thousandth, for the victimized people, that is ten thousand.

These words hit Mu Ying's heart directly, and there was no way to refute them.

"Mr. Su's lesson is that Wenying is too naive."

Mu Ying stood up and bowed seriously to Su Jing.

Su Jing calmed down and said, "Brother Wenying, I didn't intend to teach you a lesson. The words may be harsh, but they are all true."

"I understand that you also hate such things in your heart. It's not your fault."

Zhu Biao murmured and repeated Su Jing's words.

Along the way, he saw many scenes that were worse than the people in Lishui County. In the winter of Laizhou Mansion, some people even froze to death by the roadside.

"Master Su, even if it can't be completely solved, at least there should be a way to alleviate it."

Zhu Biao looked at Su Jing and said, "Even if it's just a little bit, the students still think about this kind of thing, so it's less likely to appear in Daming."

As the crown prince, Zhu Biao only felt that according to Su Jing, Daming seemed to be riddled with holes.

It is obvious that the Yuan people have been driven away and the mountains that weigh on the people have been removed. Why does life seem to have not changed much.

Su Jing said: "Of course there are ways to alleviate it, but I'm not sure if it can be implemented."

"Master Su, please tell me."

Zhu Biao asked immediately.

Su Jing said lightly: "Actually, to put it bluntly, it's just one point, and it works."

Follow the example?

Zhu Biao was taken aback for a moment, he understood the meaning of the word, but he didn't quite understand what Su Shi said here.

"Mr. Su, whether it's the Great Ming Law or the Military Law, they are all enforced from top to bottom. What does it mean to work from top to bottom?"

Without waiting for Su Jing to explain, Zhu Biao couldn't wait to speak.

Su Jing shook his head and said, "No, no, Niu Yi, your so-called top-down implementation is just an order from the top and execution from the bottom. There is no real execution from the top."

"At the local level, the officials in charge have the power of life and death. Whether it is the Ming Law or the Military Law, they are all tools they use to restrain others. If they commit a crime themselves, no one will hold them accountable."

"Based on this principle, among the common people, no matter how small the official position is, the power they hold is not something that a common man can resist. They use the law to restrain the common people, but they cannot restrain themselves."

"The so-called effective from top to bottom is to let the above spontaneously restrain themselves with the law, form an example, and follow suit at the bottom, so as to achieve the goal."

"It's just that this method is against human nature, so I said that I am not sure whether it can be implemented."

In fact, Su Jing didn't say clearly that the real top, Ming's ruler Zhu Yuanzhang, was the root of the problem.

When he used the Great Ming law to restrain the people and officials, he was always strict with others and lenient with himself, so how can the following follow suit?

Listening to Su Jing's method, Zhu Biao memorized it seriously.

Although this sounds, it seems that it is indeed difficult to be implemented.

After all, who would take the initiative to hold themselves accountable for their mistakes?

You have to apply the law to yourself to restrain yourself.

Such a person cannot be said to exist, but it is definitely a rare animal.

"Mr. Su, I have an idea."

Mu Ying listened from the side, and spoke proactively.

Su Jing nodded: "If you have an idea, just say it, I'm not in class, I'm just chatting, it doesn't matter."

Mu Ying said: "What if someone specially supervises them? Just for these above-mentioned people, monitoring their words and deeds can play a restraining role."

Mu Ying's method is quite in the style of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"It's useless. The supervisor has real power, that is, a higher level of existence. Without real power, he will be wooed and corrupted. Such a method, except for an additional tool for monitoring officials, does not have much meaning. "

Su Jing said casually.

Daming actually had such an organization, and the famous Jinyiwei began to appear in the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, it is not called Jinyiwei now, but it is the Gongwei Division who has been monitoring Su Jing and protecting Zhu Biao in Lishui County.

Mu Ying didn't expect Su Jing to deny his idea so directly, but he still thinks his idea is actually useful.

"Mr. Su, you don't know until you have to do something. You also said that you should be realistic."

Mu Ying looked at Su Jing, and used the materialist dialectics she had learned from Su Jing before.

Su Jing froze for a moment, and said with a smile: "That's right, you should be realistic. If you really want to try it, then find a way to try it. It's not wrong to try it."

"However, I think that even if you can get in touch with the emperor, you may have this idea in your heart, so don't underestimate our emperor."

Zhu Yuanzhang's desire to control power is at its peak.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, monitoring all officials is what should be done.

"The emperor already has this idea?"

Mu Ying was stunned by Su Jing's words.

Su Jing nodded and said: "That's right, the emperor is not stupid, don't look at the two of you who don't understand many things so clearly, but the emperor became emperor from a peasant uprising. , and the problems of the imperial court, they all know better than many people.”

"He will naturally find a way to solve it. Of course the emperor can think of things you can think of."

Su Jing has never underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang, he is also the hero who created the Great Ming Dynasty.

Su Jing's history is also not bad. During the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming Dynasty under Zhu Yuanzhang was in power. Although the court situation was a little turbulent, it was all under Zhu Yuanzhang's control.

Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely a top politician.

Mu Ying was completely speechless, what she was thinking, her adoptive father Zhu Yuanzhang actually thought of it long ago, so what else is there to say.

"Master Su, I remember you said that a good system does not depend on human nature. Isn't this way too simple?"

Zhu Biao said to Su Jing.

Obviously, what he was talking about was still the self-conscious method that Su Jing said before.

"Simple, so it works."

Su Jing said indifferently: "When power is concentrated in the hands of a small number of people, if you want to be fair, you can only hope for the humanity of these people. There is no way."

"It's like a country where the emperor is the supreme ruler. If the emperor is wise, the country will prosper, but if the emperor is stupid, the country will become chaotic."

"The so-called move the whole body with one hair, the greater the power, the greater the movement."

"The feudal dynasty is such an existence, and it cannot be changed and cannot be changed."

Su Jing directly made a conclusion, blocking all Zhu Biao's thoughts.

Zhu Biao was silent, and Mu Ying was also silent.

Both of them were caught in thinking and confusion. Su Jing's words made it difficult for them to accept, but they had to accept it.

"Okay, it's getting late, go back and rest."

Su Jing said to the two of them.

"Yes, Master Su."

"Okay, Mr. Su."

Zhu Biao and Mu Ying then returned to their room.

"What's wrong with me today, it seems that my blood is starting to warm up."

Su Jing said to himself: "Obviously these things are all familiar, very common things."

"Forget it, don't think about it, go to bed, and watch it tomorrow, maybe there is something else going on."
