Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 57 Lin Che sharply comments on the household registration system

The cell next door.

Lin Che was drinking a small drink when she saw Zhu Xi coming back carrying his pants.

"Mister laughed!"

"I had a stomachache last night and it hasn't gotten better. I've been waiting for a long time!"

Zhu Xi sat down opposite Lin Che. When he saw that the wine glass opposite was empty, he quickly filled it up.

"Sir, please continue!"

Lin Che shook her head slightly, her train of thought was interrupted midway and she had to think for a while before continuing.

Lin Che took a bite of the dish, put it in her mouth, and collected her thoughts.

"Where have we been?"

"Sir, he talked about quack doctors harming people!"

Zhu Xi reminded.

"Then let's continue to use the 'medical household' as an example!"

"Wang Anshi, a famous minister in the Northern Song Dynasty, once said: If you are not a good minister, you can be a good doctor."

"What he means is that if you can't be a good official and serve the people, then you can be a good doctor and treat illnesses and save people."

"In his eyes, being a good official is the same as being a good doctor."

"Wang Anshi's words resonated with literati all over the world!"

"But after the Mongol and Yuan dynasties, why were no literati interested in practicing medicine anymore?"

Facing Lin Che's question, Zhu Xi scratched his head and thought for a moment:

"Household registration system!"

"Yes, it's the household registration system!"

Lin Che looked at the other party approvingly:

"We have talked about the tyranny of the Mongolian Yuan Dynasty before, which caused chaos in the world, so I won't go into details."

"Let's talk about the current Hongwu Dynasty. Although many excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes have been abolished and some bad policies have been abolished, some household registrations have been retained!"

"Like military households, civilian households, craftsmen households, medical households, etc., and strengthen the management of the household registration system!"

"The advantage of this household registration system is that it allows some craftsmanship to be passed down and passed on from generation to generation."

Zhu Ping hung the wine cup in the air after drinking and forgot to take it back.

Lin Che continued:
"But the harm of this household registration system is even more prominent!"

"Let's take 'medical households' as an example. Some descendants of 'medical households' are born with no talent for practicing medicine, and they don't even like practicing medicine. How can they be forced to learn medicine well like this?"

"It's definitely not good to learn like this, but you still have to be a 'doctor'. If you use half-hearted medical skills to treat diseases and save people, isn't it harming others and yourself?"

"But it's not enough if you don't work. The household registration system determines that you must be a 'medical household' in your life, otherwise you will starve to death!"

"This will result in those who are talented in practicing medicine being unable to learn medicine, and those who are not talented in practicing medicine will just get by."

"Do you think this is reasonable?"

"It's okay if nothing happens. If something happens, who can I talk to for explanation?"

Hearing this, Zhu Xi shook his head repeatedly:
"This is totally against the rules!"

"Is it so compelling?"

"I can't do what I want to do, and I have to force you to do what I don't want to do!"

"Who can bear this? I might as well die!"

Seeing Zhu Xi frowning, Lin Che said calmly:
"By the way, this is the rule set by the household registration system."

"If you don't want to do it, don't do it. You are so beautiful! You inherit your father's legacy. You were born to do this!"

"No choice!"

Lin Che took a sip of wine and sighed:

"Such a household registration system restricts everything for the people! It becomes a shackles that shackles the people!"

"All walks of life are severely restricted and have no vitality at all. In the short term, it is not obvious how harmful it will be. As time goes by, various disadvantages will become apparent."

"This system established by Emperor Hongwu will ultimately harm future generations!"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, there was silence.

In the secret room next door, you can hear a needle drop.

Silence as death.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was ashen, and his strong hands holding the back of the chair had prominent veins and were trembling slightly.

"The system we established has become a shackles for the people?!"

"Ultimately harming future generations?!"

"What we do is supported by the people! Why has it become a bad government again?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked bitter and thought about his gains and losses secretly.At this time, Zhu Biao stepped forward to comfort:
"Father!"

"I understand your original intention of formulating the household registration system!"

"Your original intention is that everyone in the world will have food to eat, and there will be no need to run around for a living!"

"I also hope that Ming Dynasty can quickly recover from the ruins of the war so that the people can live a good life."

"Father, don't blame yourself for this. Mr. Lin pointed out the shortcomings and it will also help us correct them!"

Zhu Biao's comfort did not improve Zhu Yuanzhang's mood.

He looked at Zhu Biao and said bitterly:

"Boss!"

"What is your father's order?"

"Are we... really old? It's time for you to..."

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could continue, Zhu Biao interrupted him anxiously:
"Father, you have lived forever, how can you grow old!"

"Father, I would rather not have any thoughts. I, the Ming Dynasty, cannot live without you!"

Having said this, Zhu Biao knelt on the ground and said loudly:
"Father, the world of Ming Dynasty was conquered by you, and under your leadership, the country of Ming Dynasty will reach its peak!"

Zhu Biao's words were like giving Zhu Yuanzhang a 'heart booster'.

"Boss, get up!"

Zhu Yuanzhang exhaled a breath of turbid air and helped Zhu Biao up:
"We're fine! We still have a lot of things to do, we can't just fall down like this!"

"We also want to help you, boss, pave the road and give you a ride!"

"Only then can you take your mother to enjoy the happiness."

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang regain his composure, Zhu Biao breathed a sigh of relief.

These days, Lin Che gave lectures and made sharp comments on the national policies of the Ming Dynasty, which made Zhu Yuanzhang suffer a lot.

The three major national policies he formulated before were criticized by Lin Che for being useless.

Now this household registration system has been criticized by Lin Che again.

The moment Lao Zhu was hit, he had the intention of retreating.

He had never been so depressed during the most difficult battle at Poyang Lake that year.

……

the other side.

Zhu Xiang was once again aroused by Lin Che's comments, and he slapped the table:
"What a broken system!"

"Isn't this just nonsense?"

"I think the current emperor is really old and confused!"

"You're so stupid that you actually formulated such a deceptive policy!"

"It's crazy!"

Here, Zhu Fang frantically vented his dissatisfaction with the establishment of the household registration system. The old Zhu next door almost spewed blood after hearing this.

Originally, Lao Zhu was already suffering enough, but this little bastard kept adding fuel to the fire.

Lao Zhu's face became increasingly blue, and his rough hands tightly grasped the back of the chair, exposing his blue veins.

Zhu Biao, who was taking notes with a brush in hand, was stunned at the scene.

Why is this guy so stupid!
Do you blame your father so much?
On his way to the prison, he gave all the hints in vain!

This kid is going to make his father angry to death!

"Okay, enough!"

Lin Che hit him on the head with chopsticks angrily.

"What are you arguing about? I think your father sent you to prison to reflect. It's too easy for you."

"You don't have a word for it. How many times have I told you, be careful, walls have ears!"

"I shouldn't have told you so much. Apart from arguing, what do you know?"

Lin Che scolded Zhu Ping to wake him up.

He awkwardly picked up a glass of wine and toasted:
"Sorry, Mr. Lin, I'm on top!"

"You are right in your criticism. We just want to vent our anger because of this system and how it is harming the people. We can just let it go!"

"I just have such a bad temper, don't mind it!"

With that said, Zhu Ping stood up respectfully and drank the wine in one gulp.

"Do first and respect!"

Lin Che helplessly picked up the wine cup and drained the wine.

This idiot is a good person, but he needs to change his temper. He gets angry when he gets angry.

We have to give him a proper beating!
