Daming iron-blooded Chief Assistant

Chapter 204 There Will Not Be an Emperor Anymore
At the end of June,
Zhang Zongxian brought the cabinet members of Daming and many famous officials under house arrest to the construction site of the Yellow River in Kaifeng.

The scene of tens of 10 people working together moved everyone present.

Under the leadership of the disciples of the Legislative School, hundreds of thousands of people took the tools they were given and kept digging new river channels. The new channel had to be dug 30 meters deep, and both sides of the river had to be reinforced with cement to prevent soil erosion.

After the prohibition of grazing and reclamation in the upper reaches, it will not take many years before the amount of water in the Yellow River will be greatly reduced. The clear water of the Yellow River is not a dream.

When it was time to eat, Zhang Zongxian took all the officials to check what the people were eating.Can you be full, is there any oil and water?
Historically, when feudal dynasties engaged in major projects, they would force the people to rebel. The bureaucrats worked together to deduct food and pay, and let the people do heavy work without giving them enough food.

In order to prevent this from happening, Zhang Zongxian requested that the food standard be announced to the people every week, and the canteen was outsourced, with one canteen for every 1000 people, and the people had a secret vote every week to evaluate whether the food in the canteen met the standard.

Those who fail to meet the standard will be fined, and those who fail to meet the standard three times in a row will be kicked out of the canteen supply system.

The current standard of food on the construction site is that potatoes and corn are not limited, and the main thing is to eat enough. There will be broth to drink every day, and the team that exceeds the progress will also be rewarded with extra meat.

The disciples of the school each lead a team and eat and live with the working people.

When it was time to eat, Zhang Zongxian led Lu Xiangsheng, Wen Tiren, Zhou Yanru, Xu Guangqi, Yang Sichang, Sun Chuanting, Hong Chengchou, and Sun Chengzong to eat together on the construction site.

What do the people eat?What do they eat?
Sun Chengzong also took this opportunity to attack Zhang Zongxian, and loudly reprimanded Zhang Zongxian in front of many officials, school disciples and common people.

"Being kind to the people, do you think you can do what Wang Mang did? Scholars in the world will never sit idly by, and you, a rebellious minister and thief, will definitely end well."

Zhang Zongxian looked at them with disdain.

"I just want to bribe the people, so that I can squeeze the people in every possible way like you, knocking out the bones and eating the marrow? What do you eat without the people plowing the fields? What do you wear without the people weaving?
Lightening the burden on the people is a bribe. It's a big tone. The people can still live without you. Can you live without the people?

The Yellow River is repaired every year, and as a result, there are floods every year. The Ming Dynasty has not healed the Yellow River for more than 200 years. Our Legislative Party wants to heal the Yellow River within three years, so that the people on both sides of the strait will no longer suffer from floods.

Can you do it?If you can't do it, why don't you do it?Self-cultivation governs the country and the world.

Also, my legislature wants everyone to have food to eat, everyone to have clothes to wear, and everyone to have books to read. They will never neglect the people for the sake of the so-called one-family world.

No one from my Legislative Faction will be emperor, and there will be no emperor in the Ming Dynasty in the future. Whoever becomes emperor, my Legislative Faction will kill whoever?
All people are born equal, no one is born superior. "

These shocking words completely broke the defenses of these so-called Confucian scholars.

Zhang Zongxian said to the people watching the excitement:

"In 20 years, the people of Ming Dynasty will decide for themselves whether or not Zhu Ciran should continue to be emperor, instead of you moths telling them."

Then Zhang Zongxian sent these so-called famous officials back to the capital, Lu Xiangsheng, and Sun Chuanting hesitated to speak.

Zhang Zongxian said to them:

"This world is not the world of one family, but the world of countless people. How many dynasties have been destroyed throughout the ages, why?
It's not that those in power act recklessly and treat the people like pigs and dogs. The people plow the fields and weave cloth, but they can't afford to eat and wear clothes.

My legislators want to change these?Let the people be the masters of the country, and all power must come from the people in the future.

If the two of you really think about the common people, you should study the more fundamental law of my Legislative School, and work with my Legislative School to create a new world without an emperor. "

Zhang Zongxian ignored the two people who were in deep thought, and walked directly among the people, and began to ask them how they were eating and what was going on at home?
Because there is no wages because it is work relief, but there is enough food, and there is food to eat when you come to work, no matter men or women, as long as they work, they will eat, and the children they bring will be supervised by special personnel, and disciples will be arranged to teach these children to read write.

Zhang Zongxian asked some people casually, and the people were worried about what to do if the drought continued next year?
Zhang Zongxian told the people to move the dead and move the living. Go to Dongzhou where the climate is the same as the Central Plains. Not only can you farm, but there are countless bison that people can catch at will, and there are gold mines underground, which can be dug at will.

The money to go to Dongzhou will be paid by the cabinet, and it will also provide food for the initial stage of wasteland reclamation. There are wastelands everywhere, and you can reclaim as much as you want, as long as you pay taxes.

I don’t want to go west by boat, but it’s a bit colder, but the land there is fertile, and juice can be squeezed out. The cabinet will give everyone interest-free loans, and in the future I will pay back the grain.

The people were very moved when they heard this, but they still couldn't leave their homeland. With a fluke mentality, the drought will never last for two years. Anyway, they can eat enough now, and they want to wait and see.

Zhang Zongxian believes that when the severe drought continues next year, the people will naturally leave, and if they don't leave next year, they will leave the year after next.

Working under the organization of the disciples of the Legislative School, they already have a preliminary organization. When they arrive in Dongzhou, they will quickly adapt to the local life.

After inspecting the Yellow River construction site, Zhang Zongxian did not return to the capital, but went to Jinling.

The conversation by the Yellow River also spread to the south of the Yangtze River. At this time, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River already understood that it was impossible for them to return to the court.

The imperial examinations are either suspended or no longer held. Zhang Zongxian has his own disciples, and he doesn't need their assistance in ruling.

These gentry began to connect on a large scale, preparing to cause trouble when Zhang Zongxian came to Jinling.

First, scholars from all over the south of the Yangtze River began to gather in Jinling, and then the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River bribed the desperadoes to assassinate Zhang Zongxian.

There are also some hereditary officers who have lost their military power, and they are also in cahoots with the gentry, trying to make trouble after Zhang Zongxian's death.

Some gentry also began to reflect and began to get in touch with and study the thoughts of the Legislative School.

On July [-], after Zhang Zongxian arrived in Jinling, scholars from the south of the Yangtze River gathered in Jinling, shouting to plead for the country, and the investigation department also deliberately allowed them to gather.

Finally, three days after Zhang Zongxian arrived in Jinling, the gathered scholars began to attack the official residence where Zhang Zongxian stayed under the forbearance of the army.

Along the way, they broke through many obstacles and quickly rushed to the official residence. They rushed to the official residence so easily, which made these scholars feel that Zhang Zongxian was nothing more than that.

However, when they arrived at the gate of the official residence, they saw the students of the Legislative School waiting in strict order.

They carried round shields in one hand and clubs in the other.
