The Ming Dynasty started with saving the eldest grandson

Chapter 327 The dust of the times

Looking at the silent ministers, Chen Jingke couldn't help but admire Li Shanchang's wisdom again.

He eliminated all plans that might be questioned, leaving only those that were clear and beneficial to the country and the people.

Even a fool knows that these plans are good governance.

This blocked the mouths of the ministers and prevented them from directly refusing to implement the plan. They could only object on the pretext of disturbing the people and finances.

When the emperor solved these two problems, they lost all reason for opposition.

To object forcefully is to put the knife into the emperor's hands.

If it were before, they might have dared to test whether Zhu Biao's knife was sharp enough.

But it was previously revealed that someone took advantage of the new emperor's accession to the throne to grant amnesty to the world and deliberately committed illegal acts.

The emperor sent Jin Yiwei around to investigate and handle such cases.

The evidence is of course the examples of famous officials in history books, who basically built bridges, paved roads, and constructed water conservancy facilities.

Some people think that this is all good governance and that the new emperor is an accomplished monarch.

This is what Zhu Biao doesn't want to see.

The five-year work plan is the best opportunity.

But unlike Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao knew how to restrain himself and did not involve himself too much.

However, only a few people knew that Zhu Biao's move was to pave the way for another expansion of cabinet power.

If this is not an accomplished monarch, what is he?

Once this power is handed over to the cabinet, it will become the highest administrative organ of the Ming Dynasty.

The final work status must also be reported to the team.

The response from the public once again exceeded everyone's expectations... mainly beyond Chen Jingke's expectations.

Zhu Biao formed a working group, with Li Shanchang as the leader and Geng Guang, another cabinet bachelor, as the deputy leader.

Zhu Xiongying also had the same view, but habitually retorted:
"Momojiji, if you change it to Grandpa Huang, the new cabinet is already functioning normally."

Responsible for work planning.

Chen Jingke was amazed by Zhu Biao's methods.

Such a big change, even if Xu Da and Li Shanchang are in charge, will bring great shock.

Zhu Xiongying shook his head and said: "With one click of the knife, all the objections disappeared. It saves trouble."

The ministers have no special opinions on this. It is normal for an experienced official to be fully responsible for such a plan that involves the whole country.

What does this show?

The operation mode of the center will also change accordingly.

On the contrary, the attitude of the scholar group is more polarized.

Most of the people were worried, thinking that the court was going to cause trouble again.

To put it more bluntly, the two major powers of deliberation and execution have been handed over to this group in disguise.

He also issued a bloody edict that all such cases would be executed on the spot once verified.

The next focus of the court's work will definitely be the five-year work plan.

But there is a saying that kills the chicken to scare the monkey.

When the ministers adapt to this model, they can naturally hand over the power of refutation to the cabinet and complete the final step of reform.

Since it is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, what is wrong with the imperial court presiding over it?
What's more, in order to support the New Deal, the new emperor also used 6 million yuan from internal funds to subsidize the state treasury every year.

Jiang Wei has gone crazy.

Chen Jingke complained: "If it were the Supreme Emperor, he would be bleeding like a river by now."

Naturally, no one dared to take the initiative to send it to the knife edge.

Those who were killed were all chickens, and those who were frightened were all the officials in the world.

The new emperor has proven that he can and dares to kill.

He didn't return to Beijing during the Chinese New Year, but spent it somewhere else.

Therefore, transferring power bit by bit and smoothing things over in the end is the best way.

"Look, His Majesty's method is so clever. Everything is so smooth, minimizing the turbulence caused by the change."

Those who were killed were basically those who directly committed the crime, and few senior central officials were implicated, which is why it seemed so calm.

Chen Jingke knew that this guy was in his rebellious phase, so he was accustomed to being harsh, but he didn't take it seriously.
-
The first five-year plan of the Ming Dynasty spread quickly.

It shows that this kind of thing is beneficial to the country and the people. Otherwise, why would it be recorded in the history books?

The significance of the right of refutation has been mentioned before.

The first five-year plan of the Ming Dynasty was passed.

All relevant government orders must be issued from this working group.

Some people object, thinking that this is a waste of money and people.

What the people need most now is to recuperate and recuperate. Although the court's plan is good, it is too idealistic.

And allowing taxes to be withheld simply encourages corruption.

The two factions kept quarreling, and the public argued that the public was justified and the mother-in-law argued that the mother-in-law was justified, but no one could convince the other.

The imperial court has been collecting public opinion information, and the relevant information was quickly collected into Zhu Biao's hands.

After seeing it, Zhu Biao and others felt that it was normal and the matter was within control.

And it is an unexpected surprise that so many readers support it.

Chen Jingke didn't pay much attention to the opinions of scholars. The two groups spat at each other. He had seen too many of them on the Internet in his previous life.

You can fight for anything, and you have to fight for everything.

If you really take their words seriously, there is nothing you have to do.

What he is more concerned about is the people's opinions on the change, which are basically against it.

It is obviously a good strategy to benefit the local area, but the people do not support it.

The reason is simple: I am afraid that the court will upset me.

I am afraid of trouble, so I would rather keep nothing the same.

This reality made him very helpless.

Because the people's concerns are not groundless, but a real reality.

Change may make the world a better place, but the fluctuations caused during the period may destroy many families.

No one wants to be among those sacrificed.

So everyone would rather remain unchanged.

But it doesn't change...it will never get better.

This is where the contradiction lies.

Thinking of this, he said sincerely:
"To govern a big country, it's like cooking small dishes, as the wise saying goes."

Zhu Biao asked curiously: "Oh, how does Jing Ke feel?"

Everyone also looked over, wondering what he saw in this information.

Chen Jingke took the opportunity to express his feelings. When he said this, his eyes were always looking at Zhu Xiongying.

Because Zhu Biao, Li Shanchang and others must know this truth, only Zhu Xiongying doesn't know much about it.

This is indeed the case. After hearing his analysis, Zhu Xiongying was a little dissatisfied:

"Change will always involve sacrifices, but it will make most people better, and these sacrifices are worth it."

Zhu Biao and others actually agreed with this statement. Chen Jingke himself did not understand this truth, but he had a deeper idea:
"Having said that, we cannot take this sacrifice for granted. We must find ways to reduce the adverse impact of the changes on the people..."

At the end, he said a sentence that was widely circulated on the Internet in his previous life:

"The dust of the times is like a big mountain when it falls on an individual."

After hearing what he said before, everyone actually disagreed.

Considering everything will increase the cost of change.

Now that you have taken this path, you must be prepared to move forward.

Zhu Biao had the same idea, but he was not surprised that Chen Jingke said this. This has always been Chen Jingke's biggest weakness, his heart is too kind.

This is also the real reason why the royal family is relieved of him.

Can you dispel the emperor's suspicion by desecrating yourself? Innocent.

But you are kind-hearted and there is really no threat.

But Chen Jingke's last words made everyone couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in their hearts.

This sentence is so appropriate and vivid, and it is the best summary of change.

No, it can even be said to be the best summary of all historical changes.

It makes people feel immersed in it.

Zhu Biao said: "This is a wonderful statement. The people are so insignificant in the face of change."

"And we are not insignificant in the face of the tide of the times."

"We all share this sentiment. When administering policies, you should give more consideration to minimizing the harm to the people."

Li Shanchang and others said in unison: "Yes."

Chen Jingke breathed a sigh of relief. With Zhu Biao's words, today's words were not in vain.

As for Zhu Xiongying...hehe, boy, you still haven't learned enough in your ideological and political classes.

Zhu Xiongying shuddered for no reason. He looked around suspiciously and saw that there was no air leakage.
-
When I got home from get off work, I saw a familiar figure at the door, the Persian Azaza.

Azaza also saw him, immediately came up to him, and said in skillful Mandarin:
"Chen Bandu, I'd like to invite Haihan for taking the liberty of visiting."

Chen Jingke listened to his Mandarin accent, which was more authentic than many officials, and smiled:
"My friend, I am also very happy to meet you...your Mandarin is quite good."

It took only two years to master a language proficiently. This talent is indeed very high.

No wonder he was able to travel to various countries when he was in Central Asia.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a few words, and Chen Jingke welcomed him home and chatted about their experiences during this period.

In the past two years, Azaza once again used his abilities and traveled through most of the Ming Dynasty, investigating the ancient country living here.

The results of the inspection shocked him extremely.

As expected, they are indeed an ethnic group that convinced their ancestors to be willing to call themselves a vassal.

Powerful and glorious.

However, he also knows a lot about the history of China and knows that this ethnic group is not always strong, but there are cycles.

There are powerful empires like the Qin, Han, Sui and Tang dynasties, humiliating moments like the Jin Dynasty and Song Dynasty, and a history of being ruled by foreign races.

The Ming Dynasty was a brand new regime established after expelling the foreigners.

Not only did this not make him underestimate Hua Xia, it actually made him feel even more incredible.

Falling down again and again and getting up again and again, this kind of tenacity is not possessed by other ethnic groups.

At least among the ethnic groups he knew, only Huaxia had done it.

Persia has created brilliance, fallen many times, and got up many times.

But after that fall hundreds of years ago, they never got up again.

Not only that, they also lost the customs and culture passed down from their ancestors and were forced to accept the enemy's culture.

The Chinese ethnic group, even at its lowest ebb, still has not lost its traditions.

Comparing the two made him admire him even more.

So he abandoned religious concepts and began to fully understand Chinese culture, trying to find opportunities to revive Persia.

Then he discovered one thing. The various good governance that Ming Dynasty was promoting did not appear for a long time.

The part of the policy that surprised him the most was basically only introduced in recent years.

Moreover, there are rumors in the world that all this was done by the young Chen Bandu.

Seven or eight years ago, he was only twelve or thirteen years old. What kind of genius was he?

How could he think that Chen Jingke was the prophet of the Chinese ethnic group?
Otherwise, how can this be done?
Then, an idea came to his mind. The other party seemed to know something about Persia.

So, can we get some tips from Chen Bandu?

If he is willing to give some guidance, the restoration of Persia may be able to see some hope.

But Azaza didn't come to Chen Jingke directly. It's very simple. Why should others help you?

At least he must have enough understanding of China and Chen Bandu, so that he can better seek help.

So, he suppressed his impulse and continued to travel to the Ming Dynasty.

And I wrote down all the things I observed, and some of them also added some of my own thoughts.

After two years, he finally returned to the capital of this old empire. He immediately came to wait in front of Chen Jingke's door.

Originally, he was a little worried about whether the other party would forget him.

When they actually met, Chen Jingke recognized him at a glance, which made him feel relieved.

After a while of useless nonsense, Azaza took the opportunity to take out his own record of his experiences:

"Chen Bandu, this is what I have seen and heard during my two years of traveling in the Ming Dynasty. I hope it can be helpful to you."

"Oh?" Chen Jingke was a little surprised. He didn't expect him to come out like this.

I curiously took it and flipped through a few pages, and was even more shocked.

The writing is very detailed and does not blindly praise or belittle. The shortcomings and advantages are recorded together.

This gave Chen Jingke a more comprehensive understanding of the grassroots situation in the Ming Dynasty and the various impacts brought about by the reforms.

The key is that he also used the situation in Central Asia for comparison.

Although there are not many such comparisons, a completely different perspective is of great help to Chen Jingke.

Closing the book in his hand, he said sincerely:

"Thank you very much, my friend. This travelogue is so important to me."

Azaza felt happy and said politely: "Chen Bandu is so polite, it's just a small effort."

Chen Jingke carefully placed the book on the table, pondered for a moment, and said:

"I wonder if there is anything you need my help with?"

Azaza suppressed his ecstasy and said, "I wonder what Chen Bandu thinks of Persia?"

Chen Jingke already had a vague guess in his mind. He was really dozing off and someone gave him a pillow.

I was still thinking about how to encourage him to restore Persia and disrupt the local situation, but I didn't expect that he would come to my door.

Immediately he said calmly: "Ancient Persia was a great ethnic group and created a brilliant civilization. Now..."

At this point, he shook his head, his disdain obvious.

Instead of feeling humiliated, Azaza was very excited.

Isn't it just right that he has a good impression of Persia in the past?

Chen Jingke seemed to think this was inappropriate, showed an awkward smile, and said instead:
"Cyrus created the first Persian Empire, how powerful and glorious it was..."

"It also sets an example for the entire Far West countries."

"Although the First Persian Empire fell later, hundreds of years after its fall, the Sassanid Dynasty was reestablished and became the local overlord."

"The friendship between the Persians and me in China was also established at that time."

"During the Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the two sides had frequent exchanges, and during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, diplomatic relations were formally established..."

"The Sasanian Dynasty also asked for help from the Tang Dynasty, but at that time the Tang Dynasty was also suffering from internal and external troubles and was really unable to send troops."

"By the time we are freed up, the Sassanid dynasty has been destroyed, which is really regrettable."

Speaking of this, Chen Jingke showed deep regret on his face:

"What is even more deplorable is not that the Second Persian Empire fell, but that the Persians were completely tamed by Islam."

"The once glorious Persian civilization has become a fleeting thing... The heroic epics in Persian history have also been forgotten..."

"If it were in China, this would be like forgetting one's ancestors, and all descendants would have to die to apologize."

Azaza was ashamed and excited, and finally revealed his true intentions:

"It's not that we don't want to restore the glory of our ancestors, but the enemy is too powerful, so what can we do?"
