Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 142 142 Excuse me, who is named Lei Luo in this house?

"If you don't believe it, don't believe it. I'm not here to prove it to you."

Wang Buli said something indifferently.

"Is it possible that you are proving it to His Majesty?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was not annoyed and asked casually.

"It's good that you know." Wang Buli also learned to pull the tiger's skin:

"After all, I am the son-in-law of the emperor, and I cannot be an idler.

He had to make some achievements to prove that his daughter had not married the wrong person.

Moreover, I was granted marriage by the emperor as a commoner, and many people were watching.

The most important thing is to save my little wife from criticism, Mr. Guo, do you understand? "

Listening to Wang Buli's heartfelt words, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded silently.

This son also values ​​his family very seriously.

Zhu Yuanzhang appreciated this very much, just like him, he was a man who loved his wife.

Although Wang Buli often has sex with fairies in fairyland, most men are the same.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang truly loved Empress Ma, it did not prevent him from having many young women in the harem.

"Tell us, I work in the Ministry of Justice so that you can control your situation so as not to be impeached. There are many people in the officialdom watching you."

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on his chair and said, "I heard that at least thirty ministers objected to the emperor's marriage to you."

“My marriage is a family matter of His Majesty’s, what does it have to do with them?

Is it possible that the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not even have this power? "

Wang Buli's words pierced Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

He values ​​power very much.

"So we heard that they were all ordered by His Majesty to take off their pants, beat them with thirty sticks and drive them out of the palace."

"Oh."

Wang Buli's eyes immediately lit up. The Emperor of Ming Dynasty had a fine tradition of fighting court battles with his ministers.

In the later period, those officials were proud that they had experienced court battles. It was really an act of inviting fame.

Now in the Hongwu Dynasty, I am afraid no one would dare to do this.

"It would be great if I could take a look there."

Wang Buli laughed twice: "After all, this happened because of me, I still like to see them in bad luck. I don't give advice when it's time to give advice, and I hold on to trivial matters when I shouldn't.

Are they all so mediocre? Do they deserve the salary His Majesty gives them?

The salary given to them is not as good as the reward given to me, the officials of Jiangning County and the county government. They patrol the streets every day and do practical work! "

Seeing Wang Buli gloating about his misfortune, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smile and nod.

Those people were probably allowed to do so by Hu Weiyong, otherwise they would not have dared to act like this.

Why do they worry about the emperor marrying his daughter?

Besides, we also confiscated their salaries.

Now that it has become treasure money, it has been sent to the county government office for you, don't say that my father-in-law doesn't take care of you.

"So you still want to use prison to make money?"

"Of course." Wang Buli chuckled:

"On the contrary, I want to do a good job in the Jiangning County Model Prison.

Besides, Your Majesty can open a brothel to raise military expenses regardless of his own reputation. Why should I care about my reputation and not open a prison to raise military expenses for His Majesty? "

Wang Buli's words made Zhu Yuanzhang feel very comfortable.

Listen.

This is the attitude a family should have.

Compared with the marriage of other sons and daughters with the noble group, it was to make the rule of the Ming Dynasty more stable and to continue to allow them to fight for the country with peace of mind.

In addition to being a great opportunity for his daughter to marry Wang Buli, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to firmly control it in his hands.

Now listening to Wang Buli's words, it is really quite pleasing to the ear!

This kid is nothing like before.

Sure enough, everyone's relationship has changed, and the elbow naturally knows where to turn.

"You're absolutely right."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not hesitate to praise Wang Buli. This is what a family should do.

Especially Wang Buli's statement completely covered up the fact that he wanted to make money, and just changed the rhetoric.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's feeling before and after was different. He was completely controlled by Wang Buli, and he took the initiative to add a layer of filters.

Although this boy plays fairies and has a lazy style, as long as he is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, he is a good boy!

"You tell me, and we'll check it for you."

"The imperial court does not pay salaries to jailers, but they are also human beings and they have to support their families.

Therefore, inmates in the prison would give them money to help with things such as sending messages to their families, or sending clothes in, etc. They all had to pay for the benefits.

But it’s too chaotic, and it’s easy to be dishonest. If we want to build Jiangning County Prison into a model prison, we must be honest, and everything must be clearly priced.

Moreover, the county government often imprisoned those who committed corruption. If they did not squeeze out all the money they had embezzled, how could they vent their anger on the people who were oppressed by them!

I will develop more standardized rules to get money from prisoners.

In this way, jailers do not have to take risks by committing illegal crimes, but they can also support their families and increase the threshold for active crime.

Secondly, we also have office funds, which can be used to repair cells, build detention equipment, improve food, and improve the cohesion and mental outlook of jailers.

Third, after dividing the profits, the excess money can also be turned over to the national treasury.

As for the prisoners, we can't let them eat for free in Ming Dynasty. They must work. I think there are jobs such as road construction recently, and the prisoners must be organized to undergo labor reform.

This would not only allow them to eat for nothing, but also speed up the construction of roads, and even save the court a lot of money.

Chief Guo, what do you think of my idea? Can you give me some advice? "

Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Wang Buli's nagging ideas and pointed out all the benefits.

In any case, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

And it seemed like a completely different version from when he gave Ye Qinhuai advice.

The most important thing is that this prison doesn't sound as hugely profitable as Ye Qinhuai's!

But Zhu Yuanzhang heard something: when Wang Buli was a scribe, he was extremely dissatisfied with the fact that the court did not pay him a salary.

So now that he is in power, he wants to find ways to give money to his subordinates who cannot receive royal salaries, so that they can work better for the Ming Dynasty.

It’s true that I’ve been caught in the rain, so I thought of ways to hold an umbrella for those who came after me.

But at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang was persecuted by officials.

The imperial court gave food money to the migrant workers who managed the river, but in the hands of the officials, they withheld money at every level, so that the dead people were lying on the road, and the migrant workers continued to suffer, and finally used a stone man's eye to trigger a rebellion.

Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that government officials, state officials, county officials, government officials, prefecture officials, county officials, and all the officials in the government offices, etc. were all originally civilians living in the countryside. How many of them could be bad?

When he becomes an official or a local official, he cruelly harms good people and is cunning and cunning, even if he is punished, he will not be cured.

These officials were originally good people, but as soon as they became officials and became tainted with power, they would actively harm the people and gain more money for themselves, and they could not kill them all.

This is what he wants to be wary of most.

We must not let these moths ruin our rule of the Ming Dynasty.

When Zhu Yuanzhang himself commented on the Tao Te Ching, he came to the conclusion: Can severe punishment laws effectively prevent people from committing crimes?

On a practical basis, he came to the conclusion that the severe criminal law did not give Zhu Yuanzhang the unquestionable authority he hoped to achieve.

The Tao Te Ching says that people are not afraid of death, so why should they fear death?

"Now that the world has been settled, the people are stubborn and the officials are evil. Even if ten people abandon the market in the morning, there will still be hundreds of people in the evening!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was not afraid of killing, but the problem of killing people was not solved, which made Lao Zhu very chilled.

Everyone wants to have power, and once they have it, they won't let it go easily.

Greed is the root of all evil.

Sometimes when Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting in the palace in a daze, he would think about the officials he killed, and he always wanted to use money to maintain his own circle.

They just like to drink, have sex, and get rich. In order to make enough money, which one of them is not out-of-the-box corruption?

Zhu Yuanzhang was very disappointed with those Confucian scholars who could only study.

He did not want to follow the old path of governing the country with officials in previous dynasties.

The power structure of the Ming Dynasty was composed of the emperor, civil servants and subordinate staff.

The civil servant group that pursues the teachings of Confucius and Mencius is a group that Lao Zhu dislikes.

But the large number of subordinates who are also at the bottom of the power pyramid are a group that Lao Zhu hates.

So much so that he didn't want to pay a large number of temporary workers to work for the court.

Zhu Yuanzhang was harsh on the officials who worked under him, and he also disliked these people from the bottom of his heart.

But there was nothing Lao Zhu could do to change this contradictory situation.

In terms of conquering the world and governing the world, the latter is more difficult.

The emperor and civil servants were far away from the common people, and only the subordinate officials were close at hand.

If the subordinate officials are good, then the people will naturally rush to praise the Ming Dynasty.

If the subordinate officials are bad, the people will find another Zhu Yuanzhang!

Zhu Yuanzhang did not want the people to find a new Li Yuanzhang to replace his Ming Dynasty.

The survival rule of subordinate officials is to constantly ask for things from the people in order to satisfy their desires.

When he was still called Zhu Chongba, the people who often came to exploit him were these subordinates.

Therefore, Lao Zhu's hatred for subordinate officials was deeply imprinted in his mind.

But for now, Lao Zhu does not have enough choices and experience to build his own institutional framework.

He couldn't get out of this box either. So he had to continue the old path of the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhu Yuanzhang had just used the empty seal case to kill many local officials serving as locals, strengthening the central government's rule over the local areas.

He also used outsiders as top leaders to govern locally.

It is a pity that the local officials who take office do not know enough about the local situation, and they are likely to be deceived by local subordinates.

To this day, Zhu Yuanzhang still has not come up with any good solution.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang is not a mature emperor at present.

He is just a mature old farmer with some political awareness.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought deeply for a long time and then said:

"Wang Dianshi, what should we do if these officials and jailers, in order to make money, manipulate lawsuits, instigate crimes, frame others, deliberately put people in jail, and endanger the county?"

This reminded Wang Buli of Yao Guangxiao, who was imprisoned.

There are definitely not a few such officials.

In order to make money, what can't you do?

Don't look at Lao Zhu peeling day lilies, but there are still many people who continue to commit corruption.

Wang Buli didn't even think about it: "If there is a reward, then there will naturally be a punishment. It is fair and can make most people willing to maintain this rule.

How can there be only rewards without punishment, or only punishment without rewards?

Right, Chief Guo? "

Zhu Yuanzhang was not able to answer Wang Buli's rhetorical question.

Most of his behavior is punishment without reward.

They even use whips to whip your ministers for working, and don’t even bring bread to Hua.

"If you want to complete this matter, you have to submit it to the Ministry of Justice for review. Otherwise, they will say that you handled it privately and violated the Ming Law."

Wang Buli nodded. He would not refute Chief Guo on the spot. He had already studied the Ming Law thoroughly and there was no such restriction at all.

In line with Zhang Sanfa's famous saying that nothing is forbidden and anything can be done, Wang Buli must be well prepared.

“It’s good for young people to be motivated, but it’s also easy for them to stumble.”

Zhu Yuanzhang seems to be talking about Wang Buli, but he is also talking about his former self.

Once a person has the beauty of aging, he will constantly recall what he did in the past.

Or find similarities with yourself in some people.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang does not admit that he is getting older, his mentality will not deceive him.

Zhu Yuanzhang has not yet shown his amazing workaholic attributes after being deposed, so he will not admit that he is old.

"Master Guo's words make sense."

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to let Wang Buli try innovations was mainly because he was now his "family", which gave Wang Buli special privileges that could distinguish him from other officials.

Anyway, it's just a hassle for the family. As a parent, what can you say? I'll pamper you as much as I can.

Lao Zhu's sons have done a lot of bastard things, but he only scolds and curses without taking any practical actions. He is very double-standard.

As for this son-in-law now having the ambition to work for Ming Dynasty, we should be happy!

Wang Buli took a sip of tea and asked:

"Mr. Guo, as a county official, do I have a chance to go to the Ministry of Punishment and hand over the plan I wrote to Qian Tang, the Minister of Punishment?"

"According to the rules, there is no qualification."

Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled: "But you are the prince-in-law of the dynasty, and your rank is above the six ministers. You can even ask Qian Shangshu to come and pay homage to you."

Wang Buli clapped his hands and couldn't help but stand up and walk around:

"Mr. Guo, you are still so cool. I almost forgot that I am a first-class prince consort."

This was the first time in the Ming Dynasty that Wang Buli, the Prince Consort, had to work part-time as a ninth-level scholar.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Wang Buli was still not accustomed to the status of Prince Consort, otherwise he would use this status to oppress others.

"Mr. Guo, do you think my status as Prince Consort Commander is useful?"

"It works well, why doesn't it work?"

"You are today's son-in-law."

Snapped.

Wang Buli put his identity card on the table:

"Mr. Guo, how about we practice practicing and you become the Minister of Finance and pay me a courtesy first?"

Wang Buli's operation left Zhu Yuanzhang speechless.

Good boy, I just taught you the trick.

If you change hands, use it on us.

He is indeed our good son-in-law!

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Wang Buli with a smile:

"We are not acting with you."

"Look, even you, a sixth-rank official, don't take me, a ninth-rank official, seriously, let alone the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment."

Wang Buli sighed and sat back on the chair again.

"Let's go, busy."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand. He was too lazy to talk to Wang Buli anymore. It seemed that he still had to come.

He also wants to take advantage of us. When you get married, I will definitely scare you.

When Wang Buli saw that Mr. Guo was about to leave, he shouted: "Here comes."

"exist."

Wang Buli shouted in the hall.

There are hundreds of people in the hall.

It can be said that the effect of Wang Buli's money distribution just now is excellent.

Everyone in the hall is eagerly waiting for Wang Buli to formulate new rules so that they can get rewards after they become familiar with them.

This is more attractive to them than Wang Buli being the current prince-in-law.

He is really willing to give money to his subordinates.

Everyone saw it with their own eyes.

Such a superior officer.

Who can not love?

Everyone worked for the Ming Dynasty in the county government for free. Is it really because of love?

Sage Kong, whom Confucianism has always admired, was also promoted to the throne by later generations. Is he really a saint?

As for Wang Yangming’s statement that everyone can become a saint, that is more of his idea than reality.

Reality requires everyone to live, and to live requires money to eat and drink.

No one wants to be voted out of favor by someone, even if that person is the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood where he was.

He looked at the policemen outside the hall, and they all looked at Wang Buli with eager eyes.

Wang Buli then stood up and walked out of the table, holding his hands behind his back:

"You all will come with me to see Mr. Guo. Mr. Guo will send us money in the future. You must not admit the wrong person."

Only then did the people in the hall pay attention to Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

I wish I could imprint his face in my mind.

After all, Wang Dianshi mentioned this person's role!

Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little bit like laughing at Wang Buli's majesty and momentum.

In terms of pretentiousness in this aspect, Wang Buli is really no match for Lao Zhu Lie.

Lao Zhu has experienced the big scene where Shan Hu fell to his knees.

Not to mention that he went to the meeting alone early to rescue Guo Zixing and persuaded both parties to stop.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang soon came to his senses. Except for Wang Buli, Jiangning County must not appear in the palace.

Otherwise, if they all recognize me, how can I maintain the current situation?

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Wang Buli and couldn't figure out for a moment that he just wanted to show off his authority.

Or did you see something?

However, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has experienced big scenes for a long time, is not weak at all.

He walked ahead carelessly until Wang Buli watched him leave.

Wang Buli watched Mr. Guo get on the carriage and drive away. He narrowed his eyes and didn't say much.

The catcher Zhong Niu could see Wang Buli's scrutinizing gaze and asked in a low voice:

"Should you ask a few brothers to follow him and ask him about his ways?"

Wang Buli waved his hand: "No need, he just gave us money, not life-threatening.

I sent someone to notify the heads of the eight inspection departments to come to my office in the afternoon to discuss matters, so that I can set rules for them. This group of people is even more shameless than us. "

Zhong Niu responded, thinking that he was Wang Buli's confidant.

Especially when Wang Buli entrusted him with such a large sum of money for safekeeping, what was this if not trust?

It can be said that Wang Buli immediately raised Zhong Niu to the position of his top horse.

Not only Zhong Niu can see this, but others can also see this.

"On the first day I took office, I didn't even know that I came to pay homage to the dock. I had to send someone to invite them. I looked very unconvinced!"

After Wang Buli finished speaking, he turned and returned to the Yamen.
