Daming, originally wanted to destroy it, but the system came

Chapter 451 If you take too big a step, you may get injured easily.

"Your Majesty, please take care of it. The new emperor is trying to poke a hole in the sky."

"If the new emperor is allowed to act so recklessly, the entire country will be in turmoil."

"Your Majesty, why don't we talk about the issue of abolishing the status of humble and slave?"

This is called compromise.

When Zhu Zhen proposed the policy of paying grain to the gentry as a whole, and did not even mention the tax reform of dividing the land into an acre, they compromised.

This is the fate of the revolutionary family and the aristocratic class.

So as long as Zhu Chun no longer mentions the fundamentals of revolutionaries, agriculture, industry and commerce, abolishing the status of slaves and so on, it seems that it is not so unacceptable?

Even Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and winked at Zhu Zhen, indicating that he would stop as soon as he was ready.

"Ou'er, you're taking too big a step and it's easy to pull off your eggs," Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly.

"The king of a country doesn't even know the size of his country's land. He doesn't even know how many acres of land his country has. He doesn't know how much food he produces every year. He doesn't even know how many people there are. What else do I think of as an emperor?"

"So in the future, women will be guilty of the same crimes as men. In addition, a reform-through-labour policy will be introduced in the future. Don't think that going to prison is to enjoy the benefits. In the future, criminals will be pulled out to work for me and make up for their mistakes by working as cows and horses."

But Zhu Ming knew very well that population was the biggest resource nowadays, so how could he give up such a group of free labor force.

A lot of people died while building the Great Wall, and Lao Zhu might be scolded.

"Okay, today's events will be reported and handed over to the Ming Dynasty official newspaper to spread throughout the country and be implemented quickly. If you are not willing to implement it, just wait for me to have your head slapped," Zhu Zhen warned coldly: "I and I Dad is different. I am not as kind as Emperor Hongwu. Again, what I hate most is being shameless. We have already discussed this with you. If there are still people who dare to play tricks on me, don’t blame me. I'll chop your head off."

This was a big event, and the whole capital was in an uproar for a while.

"Those who deserve to be killed will be killed, and those who deserve to be put in jail will be put in jail. What I abolished was humble status and slave status, and I did not abolish the criminal law. Are you stupid or do you think I am stupid?" Zhu Zhen rolled his eyes.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that Zhu Zhen actually planned to take the imperial examination every year in the future.

But there is no rush now, you have to take your time.

This is an emperor who works hard to govern. Following him will probably be very tiring.

The officials knelt down wiping cold sweat and paid their respects.

"Brother Six, it's up to you to come up with a policy. Regardless of whether it is music registration, business registration, worker registration or military household registration, we must treat them equally from now on. They are all citizens of our Ming Dynasty. Even if the distinction between these household registrations is eliminated, there will be only one household registration in the future. That is the people of the Ming Dynasty. In the future, we will have to conduct a thorough census, re-register the household registration, and even issue ID cards."

But what if the people who built the Great Wall died in prison?
I’m afraid everyone in the world will applaud and praise you, right?

No, Zhu Ming said: "So if a woman commits a crime, she will be punished with the same crime as a man. Why should a man be beheaded if he commits a crime, while a woman can survive and just be admitted to a happy residence? Why?"

Good guy, he's already in jail, but he's still enjoying the blessings?

Is Emperor Hongwu merciful? Thank you for saying it.

To put it bluntly, the big landowners will suffer in the future, because the more land and fields they have, the more grain they collect and the more taxes they pay.

Then Zhu Ming stood up, reached out to help Zhu Yuanzhang, and the father and son left gracefully.

There are thousands of people who want to be officials, but the people at the top cannot get there, and the people at the bottom can't get there.

But Zhuo Jing's eyes were blazing, he was the Eternal Mingjun, this was the Eternal Mingjun.

I'm afraid they're going to blow up.

Zhu Chu does not want to cut the leeks of the common people, but if he wants to cut them, he should cut the leeks of the big landlords.

At the same time, he added: "Regardless of men and women, if they break the law or commit a crime, they should be dealt with how to deal with it. But from now on, the criminal law of being jailed will be given to me. Women are also human beings."

Thinking of this, even Zhu Yuanzhang trembled in his heart. I am afraid that this boy is really more cruel than himself.

Is feminist consciousness about to rise?

Then naturally, the status of inferiority and slavery will be completely abolished.

The corner of Zhu Chu's mouth twitched, but he just gave him a step and came down. He took advantage of the situation and said: "Since you said so, dad, let's leave it like that for now. From today on, we will completely abolish the lowly status, the slave status, the so-called three religions and nine streams. Especially those who are in the lower circles and are no longer inferior to others."

Now it is just mentioned that the gentry should pay the grain together, and they panic. If the individual income tax is mentioned again, whoever earns more will pay more, and whoever earns less will pay less.

Everyone gasped.

Good guy, are you taking the college entrance examination? Once a year?
But once this is done, it is conceivable that being a candidate for Jinshi will not be a problem.

Even if he gets twenty or thirty scholars a year, it will be enough for Zhu Zhen to cut off a group of people if he has nothing to do. At worst, he will have to replace them with candidates for Jinshi.

At this point, after Zhu Ming came to power, he first decided on the reign name Yongchang, and then issued two major policies. One was that newly promoted noble titles from Yongchang onwards would be inherited through a system of succession and demotion.

Even the residence of Duke Tang and Xu was breached. Countless people came to ask, what did the new emperor think? Does this mean that you have to remove the ladder as soon as you get to the top? Burning bridges?

Do you know how terrible prison disasters were in ancient times?
If a person goes in well, it is not certain whether he can come out well. As long as there is no money, no one and no power, just wait to be tortured.

He was definitely not here to enjoy himself, but he showed his ambition from the first day he came to power.

In the future, he will also look for opportunities to completely abolish corvees, handymen and other heavy burdens that oppress the people for nothing, so that those who break the law can be replaced.

How many thousands of people were involved in the four major Hongwu cases?
But in Zhu Ming's view, although he will not be arbitrary or self-willed, once the policy is implemented, no one will be allowed to hold him back. If you dare to hold me back, I will chop off your head to see who has more heads, yours or mine. The knife is not fast.

But someone asked: "May I ask Your Majesty, after the abolition of humble status and slave status, what should be done if someone violates the law and violates taboos?"

That just makes sense.

All the ministers understood the domineering attitude Zhu Ming showed.

Your Majesty, you really dare to say that.

Most of these people are from the Huaixi Group. To put it bluntly, it is the hometown of Zhu Yuanzhang and the hometown of the Zhu family royal family.

Even though there was the Hu Weiyong case before and the Lan Yu case later, countless Huaixi nobles have been implicated in both civil and military crimes.

But there are still a large number of people still there.

After all, during the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the entire Huaixi region was experiencing a talent spurt.

It can also be said that Zhu Yuanzhang basically relied on the strength of the Huaixi Group to build his empire.

But Tang He and Xu Da secretly sneered.

These blind people, do you really think that you met the new emperor who is currently in power?
Are you worthy of crossing a river and burning a bridge?

This uncle of their family has secured his throne by relying on his absolute strength.

Who dares to dissent?

Not to mention the 100,000 Naxi who are still in the capital camp, let's talk about the 500,000 troops who have returned in triumph and are on their way back to the court. They are also completely devoted to the new emperor.

Not to mention that the real team of the current emperor is actually still in the Western Regions, Tibet, and Yunnan.

Once the army moves eastward, it will sweep all the way and be unstoppable.

I'm giving you face, but if you don't accept it, you'll be really shameless.

What's more, Zhu Zhen has made it clear that the noble lords conferred during the Hongwu period can continue to be hereditary and replaceable.

So why are you so anxious? Do you think we are in a hurry? We are not in a hurry at all.

Nonsense, you two have a duke, why are you so anxious?

Just relying on a duke title can last a lifetime, but it will last forever with the throne of the old Zhu family.

As long as Zhu Mingjiangshan is still there, the titles of the Tang and Xu families will be there.

Of course you are not in a hurry.

In short, on the first day after the new emperor ascended the throne, it caused a sensation in the capital and even spread throughout the Jiangnan region.

When they heard that the King of Dian who caused a big commotion in Jiangnan a few years ago had ascended the throne, many aristocratic families became panicked.

Especially after hearing about the so-called gentry receiving food from one body, countless people even cursed behind their backs.

However, there are also some aristocratic families who are not afraid at all, but instead hold banquets and toast to celebrate.

"This is the appearance of one emperor through the ages."

"Mingjun."

"If heaven had not given birth to Emperor Yongchang, my Ming Dynasty would have been like a long night."

Among these aristocratic families is the Zheng family, which is known as the first aristocratic family in Jiangnan and was conferred by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The ancestor of the Zheng family, Zheng Qigong, issued a family motto: "If any of my descendants are unfilial, disloyal, or do not share wealth and eat together, Heaven will punish them."

Since then, the Zheng family has always taken this as a warning and followed the ancestral precepts. Later, they even added three more family rules: "Be honest and self-restrained, be loyal to the country, and act fairly."

Therefore, the Zheng family is a model of aristocratic families.

And the Ding family in Zhenjiang Prefecture.

The Ding family has continued from the Northern Song Dynasty to the present day, and is particularly famous in Dantu County.

Moreover, although the Ding family is a well-known local family, they have been devoted to Confucianism for generations and have a particularly strong culture of reading. Now the whole family is celebrating, feeling that a prosperous age is coming. What Zhu Zhen didn't even expect was that the Zhang family in Changzhou Prefecture was also celebrating.

That's right, the Zhang family in Changzhou Prefecture is the head family of the Zhang family in Jiangnan, and the Zhang family in Liyang County is branched off from the Zhang family in Changzhou Prefecture.

It stands to reason that Zhu Zhen wiped out the Zhang family in Liyang County, so he and the Zhang family should be feuding.

But in ancient times, once families were separated, the relationship was truly completely severed.

This is equivalent to the fact that marriages between people with the same surname were not allowed within a large family.

But after the family separation, there is no such thing. Unless you are a particularly particular family, you can get married.

This is not the kind of dividing the family property. For example, if the father dies, then the sons will divide the family property or something.

This kind of family division is based on genealogy. Although they still have the same ancestor, from now on, your family has your family's genealogy, and my family has my family's genealogy.

Therefore, when Zhu Zhen killed the entire Zhang family in Liyang County, even if he used the family tree to behead them, he could not kill the Zhang family in Changzhou Prefecture, and they were not next to each other.

But after all, there is a blood relationship. Does the Changzhou Prefecture Zhang family really not care at all?

I really don't care.

After all, Zhu Ming had made all the misdeeds of the Zhang family in Liyang County public and had harmed the people for so many years.

The Zhang family has always been clean and self-sufficient, and is known as the "talented scholar of the Zhang family".

It's too late to get rid of the relationship now. I just feel that it is really embarrassing to have such a separation.

It would be kind to not applaud them. After all, they have been separated for so many years. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are two strangers to each other.

Especially since I feel that the current new emperor is very diligent in governing, I feel that this is the beginning of a prosperous era.

Therefore, all these aristocratic families became excited, and they wished that their children would serve in the government one after another.

Not to mention the Gu family and the Qian family.

Gu Wen, who lives in the Gu family, and Qian Gui, the head of the Qian family, are both Zhu Chu's ministers.

But now Gu Wen is still in Tibet helping Zhu Chu to open up the people's wisdom and guide the Tibetans to get out of years of oppression and ideological shackles.

And Qian Gui is still on his way back with the army.

Therefore, there are no official titles or rewards for them yet.

But it is conceivable that Gu Wen and Qian Gui will definitely skyrocket.

For example, in the six departments of the imperial court at this time, except for Zhuo Jing, he still retained the position of minister of household affairs, and Zhu Zhen had already planned to straighten him up.

There are two ministers in each of the six departments. The left minister is the boss, but there is usually a deputy right minister.

Zhuo Jing is the right minister of the household department, and there is an old minister who is the left minister.

In the future, the old man will be allowed to step down and make way for the more talented man.

In addition to the Ministry of Household Affairs, among the six departments, Qi Tai, the minister of the Ministry of War, has died, Huang Guan, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, and Huang Zicheng, the minister of Taichang Temple. These positions have to be filled.

In addition, there are also Lian Zining, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, and others.

It can be said that except for the household department, the officials of the six departments were almost completely preserved, while the rest were completely purged.

This also left many vacant positions in the court.

There is no rush now, Zhu Ming already has his own plans.

Yan Shitai and Li Shuran from Yunnan should be on their way, and they still have important matters to arrange when Qian Gui comes back.

Qian Gui was upright and upright throughout his life, and he had a great sense of caring about the country and the people, and the great righteousness of serving the country and the people.

He is suitable for the Ministry of Justice.

Yan Shitai hates evil as much as he hates hatred and is upright, so he is not suitable for the Ministry of Punishment, but for the Yushitai, and the Yushi of Zuodu was tailor-made for him.

Although Li Shuran is not young, he is not bad in ability and is suitable for the position of the Ministry of Rites or the Minister of Taichang Temple.

As for Gu Wen, the Ministry of War is a perfect fit.

Gu Wen is a poisonous person. As the saying goes, it is not serious, and he likes to come up with strange strategies.

However, some of his strategies were a bit too vicious. Fortunately, the military power was now split. Gu Wen could make plans and deploy troops, but he did not have the power to command them.

Zhu Chu can adopt his opinion or not.

"Let's wait until later to make arrangements," Zhu Zhen thought as he was walking to the Kunning Palace in the harem.

In the previous dynasty, both the sixth brother Zhu Zhen supervised the country and the old man Taishang Huang took care of it.

As a result, he, the new emperor, became a hands-off shopkeeper and went to Kunning Palace to hang out with his wives.

Zhu Ming also has a reason. I am newly married, and I don’t have children yet. Why don’t I seize the time and work hard?

At the same time, don't forget that they are both monks, and they must not forget it during practice.

Especially since Zhu Ji has now established a foundation, his cultivation level has skyrocketed, which is far from being comparable to that of a monk in the realm of Qi training.

As a result, when they practice dual cultivation again, the benefits they get will be huge. He completely regards himself as a cauldron, regardless of benefits, or even gains and losses, to enrich the cultivation of the three women.

This has caused the three women's practice progress to improve rapidly, and there are signs of reaching the perfection of Qi training.

However, Zhu Zhen is now preparing to have a child, so he only cultivates both Zhenqi and Qi instead of refining Jingqi (you know).

But just as Zhu Zhen was concerned about before, as their husband and wife's cultivation is getting higher and higher, and because they are taking the path of physical sanctification, the physical fitness of the three women is getting better and better, and their figure, appearance and temperament are also getting better and better. It’s even more like a goddess descending to earth.

But by the way, it is extremely difficult to get pregnant.

Heaven is fair. Do you want to give birth to a little fairy directly? How can it be so easy.

There is no other way but to keep working hard.

In the following days, Zhu Zhen also summoned more than a dozen princesses.

The eldest princess, Princess Lin'an, whose real name is Zhu Jingjing, was granted the title in the ninth year of Hongwu, and then married Li Qi, the eldest son of South Korean Duke Li Shanchang.

Later, Li Shanchang was executed by Zhu Yuanzhang together with more than 70 people including his wife, daughter, brother, and nephew because of the Hu Weiyong case. However, Li Qi survived because of his status as consort, but his family was exiled to Jiangpu.

In fact, it is today’s Pukou District of Nanjing City, not far away.

It is said to be exiled, but it does not mean exiled to Yunnan.

After all, this is Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest daughter, so how could he bear to embarrass the eldest girl?

However, the eldest princess had a strong opinion of Zhu Yuanzhang, and she really did not come back once since she was exiled.

This time, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who issued the imperial edict to allow the princess and her family to return to Beijing.

Zhu Ming met with the eldest sister and prepared to make up for it, allowing the family to decide whether to stay or stay in the capital as they wished, and also bought them property.

You can go back if you want, and you can come back anytime.

But the eldest princess made a condition: "May I ask, Your Majesty, if you can do justice to me?"

Zhu Xi smiled and shook his head: "No."

Just kidding, let alone the old man is still here, if he dares to rehabilitate Li Shanchang, it is equivalent to slapping Zhu Yuanzhang in the face.

Not to mention that once Li Shanchang is rehabilitated, the title of the Duke of Korea will also be restored. This is the selfishness of the eldest princess. She not only wants to give an explanation to her husband, but also gives her children a future?
"Li Shanchang deserves to die, and so does Lan Yu. Don't even think about it," Zhu Ming said without hesitation.

As the saying goes, 'Benevolence cannot be used in business, righteousness cannot protect wealth; emotion cannot establish authority, kindness cannot be an official; kindness cannot control the army, and gentleness cannot supervise the country.'

It is impossible to compromise on these things, otherwise there will be chaos.

It's not that Zhu Ming also thinks that the emperor's golden words can't make mistakes, and he will never dare to admit mistakes.

After all, we are human and it is normal to make mistakes.

But at least with regard to Li Shanchang and Lan Yu, he really didn't think Zhu Yuanzhang was wrong.

Even Zhu Zhen would kill them and would never tolerate them.

They have lived to the end, and they have a way to die. They will not survive because of their own misfortunes.

So the eldest princess was angry and left.

Zhu Zhen met the second princess again. At the same time, this second princess was actually the eldest princess. In other words, she was the daughter of Queen Ma and was a biological brother and sister to the five Zhu Biao brothers.

The second princess was titled Princess Ning, and her consort Mei Yin was the son of Runan Hou Mei Si's ancestor.

This prince-in-law was quite talented. Not only was he mature and cautious in dealing with matters, he was good at horseback riding and archery, and was rich in planning and strategies. He was also simple and upright in nature. Among all the princes-in-law, he was also Zhu Yuanzhang's favorite son-in-law.

But when Zhu Ming saw the second sister, he said directly: "Second sister, if you want to reconcile, don't hesitate, my brother will make the decision for you."

Mei Yin:? ? ?
Princess Ningguo:...
