Daming: If I find a great-grandson, I will teach an emperor through the ages

Chapter 113 The last day?
The procedures and regulations for public ownership of land were determined and solutions to practical problems were also given.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also unambiguous and immediately ordered someone to call Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs.

After a while, Zhan Hui came to the imperial study room.

"I have met Your Majesty, and I have met Your Highness," Zhan Hui bowed respectfully.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "No need to be polite."

Then he looked at Zhan Hui seriously and said, "Zhan Hui, we want to do something, but we don't know if it's feasible or not, so I asked you to come over and ask."

Zhan Hui was a little stunned.

Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. Apart from picking the moon from the sky, what could he not do?What on earth do you have to ask yourself?

Seeing Zhan Hui's questioning look, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, tapped the desk in front of him with his fingers, and said:

"We want to make a policy that affects people across the country. However, different regions have different governance. This policy is extremely important and must be handled impartially by local officials."

"We also know that it is difficult to deal with the feuding of wealthy and powerful people in some places, and it is sometimes difficult for local officials to do so. So this time we will let local officials from all over the Ming Dynasty be transferred to other places equally to ensure that this matter can be successfully completed. , we called you here just to discuss the specific details of this matter with you."

After hearing this, Zhan Hui opened his mouth wide.

All officials from across the country...are transferred to other places?

Zhan Hui really wanted to find a piece of tofu and pretend to be dead. Isn't this acting recklessly?

How many officials are there in the country, big or small?It would be an extremely cumbersome task to disrupt and reorganize them all.

Zhan Hui felt a splitting headache just listening to it.

But looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's serious look, Zhan Hui also realized how important the policy Zhu Yuanzhang just said was.

Zhu Yuanzhang said that he came to him to inquire and discuss, but in fact he was notifying him and giving him an order. He had no chance to refute.

Naturally, Zhan Hui did not dare to refute Zhu Yuanzhang. Even if Zhu Yuanzhang asked him to pick the stars in the sky, he would have to build a ladder honestly.

"We know that this matter is cumbersome, so I won't let you suffer alone this time. You go and get the registration list of officials from all over the Ming Dynasty, and I will do it with you."

This matter was so important that even Zhan Hui and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Minister of Civil Affairs, could not be 100% assured, so they had to work harder and check it in person.

"promise!"

Zhan Hui responded and exited the imperial study.

"Grandpa Huang, my grandson also wants to be with you." Zhu Xiongying said.

"Oh? Ying'er, aren't you afraid of being tired?" Zhu Yuanzhang always smiled when facing Zhu Xiongying.

"Don't be afraid! Grandpa Huang is not afraid of getting tired, so how can my grandson covet comfort?" Zhu Xiongying shook his head and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled kindly and nodded, "Okay, okay, then Ying'er, you can stay with me..."

A moment later, Zhan Hui returned, holding a thick stack of books in his arms, which was the registration list of officials from all over the Ming Dynasty.

At Zhu Yuanzhang's signal, Zhan Hui placed the registration list on his desk.

"It seems that I will be busy for a long time today," Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Xiongying again.

And Zhu Xiongying didn't flinch at all, his eyes were full of determination.

“As long as you start something, you will always finish it.”

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said, "What Ying'er said makes sense, let's get started."

Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Xiongying, and Zhan Hui gathered together and began to look through the roster and get busy.

One day was not enough time. By late night, Zhu Yuanzhang could only put the matter aside and wait until the next day to continue.

The next day,

After going to court, Zhu Yuanzhang called Zhan Hui again, and together with Zhu Xiongying, it was not until late at night that the three of them sorted out all the details, and the deployment of local officials was finally properly planned.

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his sore neck and said to Zhan Hui next to him: "Okay, go back and rest quickly."

Zhan Hui stood up on his aching and numb legs that had already been crouched. "I'm sorry, I'm going to leave. Your Majesty should also pay attention to the dragon's body and rest early." The busyness of these two days really made him feel a little nervous and his head was spinning.

After saying that, Zhan Hui exited the imperial study.

Zhu Xiongying stood up, came behind Zhu Yuanzhang, and rubbed his neck and shoulders.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his originally stiff muscles had relaxed, and he hummed comfortably, "Ying'er, where did you learn this technique?"

"It was my father...it was Marquis Zhong Tian who taught me. He often went to work in the fields and would ask me to press it for him every time."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. He only let Zhu Xiongying press the button for a moment before letting his eldest grandson go back to rest.

Zhu Xiongying also worked for a long time. Zhu Yuanzhang was not willing to make his eldest grandson tired...

Zhu Yuanzhang himself persisted and read through the unfinished memorials today one by one before returning to the palace under the service of the eunuch chief.

the other side,
Cao's house.

Cao Wei sat on the bed, not feeling sleepy at all. He stared at the timer in front of him, which kept beating.

[Countdown to return: 01 days, 00 hours, 00 minutes and 03 seconds]

[Countdown to return: 01 days, 00 hours, 00 minutes and 02 seconds]

[Countdown to return: 01 days, 00 hours, 00 minutes and 01 seconds]

[Countdown to return: 01 days, 00 hours, 00 minutes and 00 seconds]

[Countdown to return: 00 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds]

[Countdown to return: 00 days, 23 hours, 59 minutes and 58 seconds]

……

Today is the last day.

"call……"

Cao Wei took a deep breath, feeling a little excited in his heart.

He looked at a large, bulging package on the other side of the bed.

This package contains all antique calligraphy and paintings. They are treasures that Cao Wei plundered from the houses of Xu Yungong, Lan Yu, Yan Zhenzhi and several others in recent days. Even Zhao Mian and Cao Wei, who are not close friends with each other. Shamelessly, I asked for two fine celadon bottles from his home.

Although he doesn’t know how he will return to modern times when the countdown runs out, there is a high possibility that Cao Wei can take everything around him with him.

These are the overwhelming wealth that Cao Wei will have after returning to modern times!
As long as these antique characters can be brought into modern times, they will all be genuine antiques!
Cao Wei is not good at antiques, but judging from his feeling, not to mention too many, with such a large number, it is not a problem to get a small target, or he can get several small targets.

By then, Cao Wei will be able to reach the pinnacle of life directly!

Cao Wei grabbed the package tightly and said to himself: "You must be able to take it back! Whether I can get rid of the impa or not depends entirely on you!"

After saying that, Cao Wei felt a little embarrassed, but then he curled his lips again.

"I have made so many contributions to the Ming Dynasty. It is not too much to enjoy it after I return."

In this way, Cao Wei watched the timer ticking little by little. In a blink of an eye, the window turned slightly white, and it was morning time.

But Cao Wei didn't get up and get dressed. He didn't plan to go to court today. He reported his illness to the Ministry of Personnel yesterday afternoon.It’s the last day, and there’s still a bird’s eye to come!
Just thinking about never seeing Zhu Xiongying again makes me feel a little empty.

"Master, dinner is ready."

The maid Xiaoyu suddenly called outside the door.

Only then did Cao Wei feel a little empty in his stomach, so he put on a coat, went out and finished his breakfast in three strokes, and then scurried back to the room.

He left the Ming Dynasty and returned to modern times. This scene must not be seen by anyone. Cao Wei did not want to cause psychological shadow to the servants in the mansion.

But after eating breakfast, Cao Wei's eyelids became heavier and heavier.

Cao Wei is still aware of this phenomenon. This is when the stomach starts to digest food and requires more blood supply, so the cerebral blood flow will be relatively reduced. It is normal to feel sleepy, not to mention that he has not slept all night.

Gradually, Cao Wei began to be unable to resist the overwhelming sleepiness.

The second before he closed his eyes completely, Cao Wei stretched out his hand and once again firmly grasped the bulging package next to him...

Royal Palace.

Many civil and military officials were already standing in front of the Fengtian Hall.

Yan Zhen looked around, but did not see Cao Wei's figure, and felt a little confused.

"Go to—to court!"

With the chief eunuch singing loudly, the door of Fengtian Hall slowly opened, and hundreds of officials entered one after another.

After all the officials found their positions and stood still, they all bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang who was sitting on the dragon chair above and shouted,
"Wei Chen sees His Majesty!"

"No gift, flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After all the civil and military officials straightened up, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced around the crowd.

"Why didn't Marquis Zhongtian come?"

Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Marquis Zhong Tian sent someone yesterday to inform you that he cannot come to attend the court today due to physical discomfort."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

That kid Cao Wei has always been in good health, like a calf. How could he suddenly become ill?
Looking at Zhu Xiongying to the side, his face was indeed filled with concern and worry.

Let the imperial doctor take a look after the court, Zhu Yuanzhang thought in his mind.

Then, officials at all levels reported on political affairs, which were all bits and pieces. After Zhu Yuanzhang responded one by one, he suddenly said:
"In recent days, we have been thinking about what the future of Ming Dynasty will be like. However, the more we think about it, the more problems we find."

"What worries us the most is the hardworking people in this world. They have no power and can only make a living by farming. But when times are bad or their families are in disaster, their fields may be taken away by others. Go, it’s not an option to continue like this.”

"My dear friends, do you have any solution to this problem?"

Everyone in the audience looked at each other in shock when they heard this.

How to solve this problem?

Don't say that they can't think of a solution. Even if some smart people think of a way to deal with it, they won't actually say it. That way, too many people will be offended!

Seeing that no one responded, Zhu Yuanzhang turned his attention to Zhu Xiongying.

"You can't figure it out, but our eldest grandson has figured it out. Xiongying, tell me your method and let all the adults listen."

"Yes, Grandpa Huang."

Zhu Xiongying responded, took two steps forward, faced the civil and military officials facing upwards, and said:

"To solve this problem, it is actually very simple. Just ensure that no matter what happens, the ownership of the fields in the hands of the people cannot be changed. But if the ownership of the fields is in the hands of the people, the people will inevitably be unable to withstand the oppression of the local powerful and give in. , Therefore, all the fields in the Ming Dynasty must be attributed to the imperial court, that is, state-owned. The people who use the land and fields are leased to them by the imperial court..."

Zhu Xiongying talked eloquently, transformed what Cao Wei once said and said it in his own tone.

In the end, there are only four words.

The land is publicly owned!

When Zhu Xiongying finished speaking, the officials off the field were a little confused.

Should land be publicly owned?
Wouldn't it mean that the land and fields in their hands will only become less in the future, but not more?

"Of course, if after the implementation of public ownership of land, you adults feel that the land at home is not enough, you can cultivate it yourself. This is allowed, as long as you go to the Ministry of Household Registration in accordance with the rules and regulations to register." Zhu Xiongying added.

Suddenly, the crowd rioted.

Reclaim wasteland on your own...

Is it possible to go to the wilderness to cultivate land?What's the use of coming to a remote place like that?
"Your Majesty, most of the people who occupy land and fields are vassal kings from various places. If we want to implement public ownership of land, we are afraid that the vassal kings will have grudges. Moreover, such a huge project will be time-consuming and labor-intensive, which is not conducive to people's livelihood. , I hope your Majesty will think twice."

Someone said such a thing, but he did not stand up. He knew that standing up would be equivalent to going against Zhu Yuanzhang, and he did not dare...

Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened.

These people did not dare to refute openly, so they took advantage of the vassal kings from various places.

Do they think that if they move out the feudal lords from various places, they will become soft-hearted and hesitant?
Zhu Yuanzhang valued family ties and was very kind to his descendants, but he valued the Ming Dynasty that he single-handedly established even more!

If the Ming Dynasty was irreversibly weak, how could Zhu Yuanzhang's descendants live a good life?
Land is the foundation of the people, and the people are the foundation of the country.

This time, even if Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't bear it, he knew that he must not be soft-hearted!

Even if doing so would hit the feudal kings at this time, public ownership of land must continue!
Zhu Yuanzhang can still figure out this account.

"The vassal king? The vassal princes are not our sons? Everything they have is given by us, and we can take back everything we give them at any time! The public ownership of land is the future of the Ming Dynasty. Even our sons must Obediently give way!"

Zhu Yuanzhang scanned the people below with his sharp eyes, and spoke in a low voice, which was very loud!

"If anyone dares to stand in the way of Ming Dynasty's development, we will be the first to spare him!"

The officials immediately fell silent!
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be talking about the vassal kings from various places, but in fact he was alluding to their ministers.

Zhu Yuanzhang could make them officials, or he could strip them of their official positions and find a crime to punish them!
Just like Huang Zicheng, Zhou Guanzheng, Liu Sanwu and others before, they stood in the way of Zhu Xiongying's return, and Zhu Yuanzhang wiped out three of his clans with just one sentence!

It has only been a few days since Huang Zicheng and others learned the lesson. How dare everyone dare to touch Zhu Yuanzhang's brows again? They are so impatient?
Seeing that everyone was quiet, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded again to Zhu Xiongying.

Zhu Xiongying began to preach the policy and strategy for implementing public land ownership that he had discussed with Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhan Hui two days ago...

the other side,
It's almost noon.

Cao Wei gradually woke up from his dream.

The confused Cao Wei looked at the timer subconsciously.

[Countdown to return: 10000 days, 13 hours, 53 minutes and 38 seconds]

Cao Wei squinted his eyes and touched the package next to him, and suddenly felt something was wrong.

The moment I saw the numbers again, I felt completely refreshed!
Cao Wei almost jumped up from the bed.

Ten thousand days? !
Where did he get [-] days?
