People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 414 We can’t let our old Zhu family be raised as a pig forever

Chen Hang and Prince Zhu Biao were actually having a headache at this time.

Because according to the current situation, the biggest problem is the transportation of grain and grass. Although rail tracks have been built from the capital to the major provincial capitals, so far, this process has only completed or connected the route from the capital to Peiping. .

The rest cannot be used at all, either being repaired intermittently or simply unable to undertake the main transportation tasks.

Furthermore, today's steam locomotives do not require a large number of carriages or a large amount of capacity. The transportation speed is much slower than that of carriages. If converted to normal speed, it is about 20 to 30 kilometers per hour.

If you want to quickly transport food and grass to various places at this speed, it will still take a while.

Therefore, train transportation can only be used as an auxiliary, and large quantities still need to be transported manually. This is a great test of the national strength and coordination ability of the Ming Dynasty.

Although granaries everywhere are now full of grain, it is of course a big challenge to transport so much grain to the north. Therefore, at this time, Prince Zhu Biao does not have such strong confidence.

So the two people started pointing and drawing on the map, just to find a very fast way of transportation.

Let's talk about the back garden. After hearing these words, Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought. He was calmer than Princess Jiangdu. He also knew what kind of situation he was facing now.

If it is true as Princess Jiangdu said, what the Ming Dynasty needs most now is stability, and what it needs most is a rule that makes everyone in the world convinced.

It is really possible to establish a prime minister, but the prime minister was obviously killed by himself. Decades ago, he once said after killing the prime minister that anyone who dares to propose re-establishing a prime minister will die without a burial. Earth's great sin.

But now if he really wants to speak out about this thing and wants to re-establish the prime minister, he is still a little unable to say it.

Besides, isn't this just a proper greeting to one's own face?

Isn't this a slap in the face?
When he thought of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt something was wrong in his heart. This was really detrimental to his majesty as an emperor.

So thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang had to consider this issue. Although he has retreated behind the scenes now, he is not dead after all. The debt will be wiped out after death. Once he dies, he will not care about the flood. This is indeed a way.

Even though the history books of later generations may record a lot of things about myself, as long as this matter is not involved in the record, it doesn't matter to me.

But if it is true as Princess Jiangdu said, in order to win the trust of the world, and to let the whole world see that it was His Majesty the Emperor who personally said that he wanted to re-establish the Prime Minister, then everyone can trust him.

Otherwise, even if the news spreads, how many ministers would dare to say such a thing?
Today, His Majesty the Emperor is at the height of his power, and his majesty sums up everyone, even if someone like His Highness the Prince plays the role of prime minister in the front, mediating the conflicts between the officials and His Majesty the Emperor.

However, it was completely unable to stop His Majesty the Emperor from purging officials, because many similar things had happened before, and the two major murders at that time caused mourning all over the world.

Regardless of whether they are officials or the rich in the world, which class has not been stabbed? But what could His Royal Highness do at that time? I can only watch all this, even if His Highness the Crown Prince tried to persuade me, I couldn't persuade him.

Of course, many people will say that this may be the double act performed by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty the Emperor.

It is to tell all the officials and wealthy people in the world that this world belongs to our old Zhou family, but what can we do even if we know?

It also shows that His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince, the father and son work very well together. If there is another operation that works very well together, wouldn't everyone be on the gun?
Which minister dares to say such a thing?
It can only be His Majesty the Emperor himself who wants to re-establish the Prime Minister, otherwise no one will dare to speak out.

There was an opportunity right in front of him, but after Princess Jiangdu said this, the old man twirled his fingers, and the great-grandson in his arms felt that it was not so fun at this time, and he just felt a little irritable.

He had finally grown from a cowherd boy to the current emperor. His majesty was unparalleled and no one dared to provoke him. However, he had to admit his mistakes. How could an emperor admit his mistakes?

If he really admitted his mistake, wouldn't it mean that the world would laugh at him?

It was nonsense to eliminate the prime minister and said that he would not be allowed to establish another prime minister. This was a big harm to him.

Princess Jiangdu also knew what the old man was thinking about now, and immediately said: "Grandpa Huang, my granddaughter knows that what you are thinking about now must be your prestige. In fact, your husband and we have all considered it. Now under your wise leadership, , our Ming Dynasty has carried out such a vigorous reform, this matter has not reached the point where we must talk about it now. After the people of our Ming Dynasty enjoy the more convenient results of the reform, you can talk about it. At that time, everyone will be able to tolerate you. It's much higher.

At the same time, I also understand that you are doing this for the sake of the world, and those officials will definitely applaud you. Because this is a concession from you to the officials, re-establishing the prime minister is a reconciliation between you and the officials. Only when you and the officials trust each other can the officials work harder for the people of the world.

Think about it, because of the tense relationship between you and the officials over the years, the officials have not dared to do things excessively, for fear that they would be killed inexplicably if they offended you. In such a tense environment, how could the officials do anything? If you dare to make some opinions of your own, you can only follow the example and follow the example. In the end, won’t everything be in your hands? Then aren't you the one who suffers in the end?

Haven’t you had enough over the years? Over the years, you should know very well how difficult it is to do these thankless things. The people will not understand you, because the officials below, in the face of such low salary, can only extend their hands to the people. You It can be said that you have used harsh criminal laws to punish those officials who embezzled more than 60 yuan of money. However, as my husband said, there are many people who do not directly embezzle money from the people, but use various means to distribute it to the people in kind. The people's lives are even worse than before. They will not hold a grudge against the officials who were the initiators of everything, but they will hold a grudge against you. They will think that it is an emperor like you who created such officials. That was an official who was corrupt and harmed the people, but you were the one who took the blame in the end. Do you think it's fair? Don't you want to get rid of this situation? "

Princess Jiangdu began to follow the instructions and told Zhu Yuanzhang this from the perspective of understanding Grandpa Huang.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard these words from Princess Jiangdu, he was also thinking in his heart.

Yes, what are we working so hard for?

Aren’t we just trying to make the world a better place?

Aren’t we just trying to make people’s lives better?
We come from the common people, we know what the common people are suffering from, and we know what the common people want?
Although we have always felt that allowing the common people to grow more food is to make the common people an industry in their own families, we also hope that the common people will live a better life.

We hate those officials, so we torture them, but what we didn't expect is that the officials dare to ask for things directly from the people because they receive less salary. This is invisible and the most deadly.

The most important thing is that all the evil done by these officials will be recorded on his head. How unjust this is.

When I think of this, the old man himself feels that it is really infuriating. Why should they enjoy it, but it is me who takes the blame in the end? It is so unfair, and we must not do such a thankless thing.

Now think about re-establishing this prime minister and letting him balance the relationship between the chief minister and the officials. As long as the emperor holds the most important acceptance and military power, it is actually impossible for the prime minister and those officials to make waves. .

Thinking this way, he felt much happier.

Although his expression did not change much, Princess Jiangdu quickly caught the subtle changes in his eyes. After all, she had spent a lot of time with Grandpa Huang during this period, even if Zhu Yuanzhang's actions were invisible. People, in fact, sometimes can't help but reveal some emotional changes.

Especially after getting so close, it can be seen at a glance that Princess Jiangdu is striking while the iron is hot, saying, "In the future, if you issue any order with the Prime Minister to step in, the officials will believe that it has been negotiated and they will execute it." You will also be more convinced. Although you are the emperor, it is actually very difficult for your various decrees to really flow down to the lower levels. Now you can change your relationship and soften your relationship with the officials a little bit. Everyone will not be so constrained when doing things, and your various decrees will be implemented according to local conditions. Of course, when the people get good things, they will remember your good things.

Just like when we officials engage in official corruption, the common people are willing to be with you. As long as the relationship between you and the officials is good and the officials work harder for the court, the common people will naturally think of you first. Do you think so? ? "

After saying this, the old man felt a little more comfortable. Yes, this can not only ease the conflict between us and the officials, but also prevent those officials from showing one thing in front of us and doing another secretly. It is also a good thing.

The most important thing is that the children and grandchildren of the younger generation will not be casual. After thinking about it, the old man felt much better and laughed, "You little girl, you also have the mind of a prime minister. You know how to make the emperor feel comfortable." One thing, you know better how to ease the knot in Grandpa Huang’s heart. In fact, Grandpa Huang has always been worried that our family will have a bad life. Grandpa Huang has always thought that only if all the power is in the hands of our family, can we let it go. We, the people of Lao Zhu’s family, live a human life.”

Princess Jiangdu immediately said, "Grandpa Huang, if you think so, as long as our old Zhu family is undefeated, our family will always be the largest family in the world. Princess Jiangdu, you will never have to worry about our family losing." . But if the world of our old Zhu family becomes a mess, everyone in the world will not scold those officials who messed up the world, but will only blame our old Zhu family for being incompetent.

Even if we restrict the behavior of the royal children and reduce some of their salaries, they will still live the life of a superior person. There is a saying among ordinary people that children and grandchildren will bring their own blessings. If the children and grandchildren are capable and don't have any money left to them by the older generation, they can create their own achievements with their hard-working hands.

And if all the children and grandchildren are incompetent, leaving too much money and too many rights to them can only bring disaster.

They will not be beaten to death directly by the common people, but it is not nice to be scolded by others holding their backs.

Grandpa Huang, you grew up in the countryside. Don’t you know how unpleasant the words coming from the mouths of those long-mouthed and poisonous women are?

That would really make eighteen generations of ancestors scolded, scolding you so much that you can't even eat delicacies from mountains and seas, scolding you so much that you can't even sleep on silk cushions. This is the most uncomfortable thing.

Our old Zhu family enjoys such good treatment now. Do we hope that in the future we will be scolded until black smoke rises from our ancestral graves and our faces will be tarnished?
You have climbed up from the bottom step by step. You know very well what the common people below are thinking in their hearts. You should also know what kind of emperor and what kind of environment the common people hope to have. Then you Just make a gesture, re-establish the Prime Minister, and let the Prime Minister mediate the conflicts between you and the officials. As long as we strictly establish it, let all the successors of our Lao Zhu family go to the people, effectively understand the sufferings of the people, and strictly formulate Regarding the words and deeds of the successor, they should be cultivated from an early age, especially those of the royal children who do not study in such a good environment, so that after they enjoy good material, they can do good things and study more. Being more sensible and educating people can always reduce the probability of those dandy boys, and can always win some face for our old Zhu family.

We can't always be complacent because our family is a royal family and have nothing to offer. We can't let our old Zhu family be raised as a pig forever because our family name is Zhu. "

This statement really made the old man think it was too much. After all, this statement was really unpleasant. You must know that the surname Zhu cannot be chosen, but it is very embarrassing to be compared with those fat pigs.

It was an uncomfortable thing, but now when Princess Jiangdu said this, the old man also felt that this was a serious topic. Indeed, the surname Zhu was, and not being treated like a pig was the most critical topic.

Judging from the laws they have promulgated, aren't the current royal disciples just like pigs being raised in captivity?

After Princess Jiangdu's earnest persuasion, the old man's heart finally melted away. The unconvinced thoughts in his heart were also slightly relieved at this time. He laughed immediately, and then held the hand in his hand. The grandson smiled and said: "Little guy, listen to what your mother says. She is not inferior to your father. No wonder your father and your mother can get together. Doesn't this mean that one family does not belong to the same family?" "
