Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 294 294 His ability to govern is quite strong!

Grand Master Dayuan finally rejected the emperor's impulsive proposal.

Dayuan has arrived at this time.

Emperor Dayuan actually didn't have many direct soldiers of his own around him.

You must know that everyone relies on the banner of Dayuan to fight against Ming Dynasty.

It’s no wonder that ambitious people have ideas about the emperor’s position.

After all, according to the tradition of the grassland, it is natural for people with big fists to speak easily.

Aiyoushilitarala, the Great Yuan Emperor, has no strength, so he can just be a good mascot.

Yesudier is closer to the northwest, and the Ming army is deploying troops there in case of a sudden attack on our side.

It would inevitably anger Yesudier, so he led the way to destroy the royal court.

As for whether Yesudier had any intention to usurp the position of Emperor Yuan.

This scene is very different from before, but a huge black screen.

And the powerful minister Yan Song used flattery to please the emperor.

It's a pity that he hasn't read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms and doesn't know how Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty should treat his powerful ministers respectfully, so he still gets angry here alone.

Since Ming Dynasty is now powerless, everyone can simply live in peace for two years.

Other than that, don’t want anything more.

The new thing Wang Buli came up with is completely a reduced version.

He also wore it for fun at Wang Buli's house that day.

Apart from being completely dark, it was really boring, so he even asked Wang Buli to paint his portrait.

……

It takes a lot of hardships for a warrior to grow up safely on the grassland.

The life of Zhang Juzheng.

Who wants to deal with an emperor who is dying and has no real power yet?
Taishi Kuokuo Timur naturally left the emperor and went to see the Ming Dynasty goods brought by Li Zisong.

The two of them put on the black sunglasses on the table and realized that the huge black screen in front of them had a word.

But Zhu Yuanzhang does not know the whole picture at present, so he can only speculate on it.

Although Dayuan is still Dayuan, the emperor's prestige has dropped to the extreme, and his subordinates can be regarded as numerous military leaders.

Jiajing asked about cultivating immortals again, and rewarded Taoists. Looking at the entire Ming Dynasty, there was only one Taoist who held the three positions of Shaobao, Shaofu and Shaoshi.

Once a woman passes this stage, it is not an exaggeration to say that she is abandoned.

When the time comes when Yesu Die'er really becomes the leader, will Dayuan still exist?
Any infighting is to be avoided.

At least they can follow your orders and chant sutras for you.

The Grand Master did not plan much for the counterattack.

"I understand." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes revealed surprise:
"Wang Buli really doesn't know the magic of immortality, so although he is knowledgeable, the immortal weapons he makes do not have this function."

"Hey, dad." Zhu Biao said in surprise:
"I never thought that the sunglasses made by Wang Buli would be a real fairy weapon."

Lao Zhu wanted to see what kind of work Zhang Juzheng could do in his life.

Zhengde's favor and trust in the eunuch Liu Jin even more disturbed the court and destroyed morale, so that the deep foundation accumulated since Hongwu was almost destroyed.

Aiyoushilitara's body had long since collapsed due to his dual cultivation in his early years.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's speculation, the Ming Dynasty that Zhang Juzheng lived in was already in a stage of transition from prosperity to decline.

What's more, if he is really powerful, he will not become a shabby image in the eyes of the Goryeo envoys.

Immediately after Jiajing succeeded to the throne, the little prince, Ji Nang and others invaded the border. Among them, Anda's wanton intrusion caused the most serious disaster, which was known as the "Gengxu Change" in history.

Zhu Biao also thinks it makes sense.

On the surface, if I call you "Your Majesty," you will listen.

The enemy invaders were approaching the capital, but the generals did not dare to fight. The weakness of the Ming Dynasty's military preparedness had reached its peak.

Now he has no energy left to play with the maid.

If you, His Majesty, really give us orders and we have to obey them, then you should spend more time in the tent listening to the monks reciting sutras.

The grand master will not pay attention to it. In short, it is an internal matter within the Golden Family.

The Oara foreign students incident brought an end to the rising momentum of the Ming Dynasty’s national fortunes.

I have to say that the painting made by wearing these sunglasses made Zhu Biao feel very handsome.

Zhu Yuanzhang was also very familiar with Zhang Juzheng, as the most powerful minister in the entire Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, why would women with childbearing value be regarded as one of the tribe's assets?
It is not just to ensure population growth and to have the strength to ensure the wealth of the tribe.

After his father's analysis, it completely made sense.

Zhu Yuanzhang took Zhu Biao to the fairyland again.

Even the emperor was assassinated, and the chief minister of the cabinet was the biggest corrupt official in the world.

Long Qing didn't make much reforms in the few years he took office. He also delegated power to his subordinates.

In Wanli, when the young emperor ascended the throne at the age of ten, Zhang Juzheng squeezed out Gao Gong, the chief minister of the cabinet, to monopolize power.

Zhu Yuanzhang believed that it was not an exaggeration to evaluate Zhang Juzheng as the regent.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang did not know the situation around the world at that time. Europe and other places were still in the Renaissance stage, state and religion had not yet been separated, and wars would occur due to religious disputes.

The countries have not yet been unified, and even the autocratic monarchy system that can help unify the country has not yet taken shape.

Although the New World was discovered due to the opening of sea routes, traffic between Europe, the Americas, and Asia was still blocked, and the Americas were still an ignorant land.

Around Asia, Tsarist Russia has not expanded its territory, and Japan continues to divide.

In this way, the Ming Empire owned most of the territory of the Asian continent, had a profound cultural heritage, and a complete monarchy system, and could be called an empire.

At this time, Zhang Juzheng was in the phase of the Ming Empire and took power in an attempt to give the declining Ming Empire a breath of fresh air.

Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to know Zhang Juzheng's performance.

While the father and son were talking, Zhang Juzheng's introduction appeared on the giant movie screen.

My ancestor was from Hefei, Luzhou, Anhui.

The founder Zhang Fu followed Ming Taizu in the Haozhou uprising because of his strength, crossed the Yangtze River, and conquered Caishiji. He then followed the army to pacify Wu, Yue, Fujian, and Guang. He accumulated military merits and was granted the title of Guizhou Ningsuo Thousand Households.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused.

He did not expect that Zhang Juzheng's ancestor was a military household who followed him to conquer the world.

Still a fellow from Anhui!

Just ask anyone to look it up and you can find out Zhang Juzheng’s ancestors.

The main reason is that this does not comply with the rules he set. If you are a military household, you must be a military household for generations to come.

Zhu Yuanzhang found another reason for himself in his heart. There was not only one son in the military family, and the other sons' studies were "normal".

"father."

Zhu Biao also found it strange that there were descendants of Jinshi among the military households.

The ancestor Zhang Juzheng has not been an official for several generations. If thousands of households lose power, others will naturally take your place.

His father was well versed in Confucian classics, had good conduct, and was very prestigious at the time.

However, he had bad luck and was not selected by the examiner after seven exams, so he returned to his hometown to concentrate on educating his son and spend his life as a commoner.

Zhang Juzheng was a child prodigy. He passed the Boy Examination at the age of twelve and took the Provincial Examination one after another. He was deliberately dismissed because the examiner wanted to sharpen him.

Because Zhang Juzheng not only wrote the papers well, but also had his own opinions on the answers.

The examiner immediately made up his mind that no matter how good he was, he must not be allowed to win because he had seen too many injuries to Zhongyong.

It was not until the age of sixteen that he passed the provincial examination and passed the imperial examination. The fact was exactly as the examiner thought. After Zhang Juzheng passed the imperial examination, he really started to look good and did not participate in the imperial examination three years later.

At the age of twenty-three, he was admitted to the Second Class Jinshi (ninth place).

"Dad." Zhu Biao pointed at the huge screen excitedly:
"Zhang Juzheng is really a good reader."

The prodigy he has heard of so far is Jie Jin, but Jie Jin doesn't have such a resume.

Then came the first half of Zhang Juzheng's life. It can be said that he did well in the exams, but his official career was not all smooth sailing.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the master-disciple relationship between these scholars from Zhang Juzheng's first half of his life, which was everywhere in the court.

Party formation is often related to this aspect.

The Ming court has become a world of scholars.

This result was something he didn't want to see.

The power of nobles and generals was so weak that he could not see it.

Not only that, Zhu Yuanzhang also saw the banquet between his incompetent prince's descendants and Zhang Juzheng.

The people outside the palace were displaced and had no food to eat. On the contrary, they were eating, drinking and having fun in the palace, and they didn't care about the hungry people.

Even local officials didn't think there was anything wrong.

Seeing this, Zhu Biao was angry.

But Zhu Yuanzhang ruthlessly took on the role of those victims begging for food on the streets, because he had lived such a life. He conquered the Ming Dynasty from scratch, and in order to prevent future generations from living in his embarrassing situation, he had better treatment for the vassal king.

But like the "nobles" of the Yuan Dynasty, they looked down upon people like him. Even if they starved to death, they would only feel that they had stained the eyes of the nobles, rather than having any other feelings of pity.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he couldn't help but snorted.

He was relieved again.

The status gap meant that the descendants of the Zhu family would not care if even members of their clan starved to death. How could they be so kind-hearted as to care for the others?

Even if they are from the same clan, after five generations, the relationship will become extremely weak.

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Wang Buli's method of making a living for himself in the fifth and sixth generations was correct.

After returning from his hometown this time, Zhang Juzheng seemed to be a changed person.

He wandered between the parties of Yan Song and Xu Jie, and looked like a typical fence-sitting faction, but neither Yan Song nor Xu Jie found it strange.

Zhu Yuanzhang outside the screen could feel Zhang Juzheng's experience of returning home, which actually changed him.

No longer as smug as before.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched the internal fighting among these scholars with cold eyes.

From here, Zhu Yuanzhang discovered that Zhang Juzhao seemed to be following his old path, from being in the same boat to being in the same bed but having different dreams to being in the same room.

Because he is also constantly gathering the imperial power and trying to find ways to suppress the Huaixi Xungui Group.

When Zhang Juzheng came to power, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to see how Zhang Juzheng, a very powerful man, would regulate the Ming Dynasty.

As a result, when he came up, he began to rectify the administration of officials and took out the examination method.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from his seat in shock.

"Take the exam?"

Zhu Biao was also stunned.

Because both father and son clearly knew that Wang Buli was the first to propose the entrance examination method.

Zhu Yuanzhang has just implemented it in Yingtian Mansion. After the trial this year, he will make improvements based on the problems exposed, and finally plans to implement it all over the world next year.

Zhu Yuanzhang suspected that Wang Buli knew about Zhang Juzheng.

Or was it that the test law was not implemented at all after his death, and was only picked up again after Zhang Juzheng took power?

He was not allowed to think too much, but then Zhu Yuanzhang saw the counterattack of the Ming officials, and they never stopped impeaching Zhang Juzheng.

"Hmph." Zhu Yuanzhang sat down again: "I do believe that the test method has not been implemented for a long time."

As the founding emperor, he would be criticized by many people for implementing this matter in Yingtian Mansion, not to mention the darker environment in the late Ming Dynasty.

But overall, Zhu Yuanzhang found that the examination method was quite effective.

Thousands of people were deposed and laid off, and officialdom gradually improved.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could praise him, Zhang Juzheng implemented a whipping method.

Zhu Yuanzhang refused to blink his eyes at this matter.

There are three main types of taxes collected by the court.

The first one is land tax. Lao Zhu worked hard to conquer the world. As the saying goes, the whole world is not the king's land.

You all farm the land of my Lao Zhu family, so you have to pay taxes.

The second one is the poll tax. You are all my subjects, and I will protect you. You must pay the tax when you become adults.

The third is to do corvee service. I clearly want people to do this and that project all for the benefit of the people. You must come and work as a coolie for me for free.

All the imperial courts from the Tang Dynasty to the Ming Dynasty did this.

When Yongzheng's tenants were hired, they just spread the poll tax into the land tax, turning three into two, and the money was collected even at a penny.

Corvee service was completely abolished after liberation, and agricultural taxes were only exempted in the 21st century.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at this whipping method, but Zhang Juzheng was not the first to recommend it. In the early years of Longqing, Jiangxi began to implement it.

But Xu Jie said to him: "The fathers of Jiangxi have been working hard and have suffered for a long time. It is more convenient to practice a whip method. Please try it for the court."

Three years after Longqing, the situation in Jiangxi has greatly improved.

Of course, the whip method at this time still has flaws.

Zhang Juzheng improved and implemented it based on the experimental results of his predecessors.

All provinces in the south and Shandong, Shanxi, and Beizhili in the north implemented a whip law ten years ago in Wanli.

It was not until about the 20th year of Wanli that the whip method promoted by Zhang Juzheng was fully implemented in the Ming Dynasty, and its status could no longer be shaken.

The problem in the future is no longer a question of preservation or disposal, but a question of how to consolidate it.

Zhu Yuanzhang also knew that Zhang Juzheng passed away in the tenth year of Wanli, but this method could continue to be implemented, and it had been verified by time, and it was a good method.

"Dad, I found that Ming Dynasty has no shortage of money at this time, otherwise this whipping method will never be implemented."

Zhu Biao believes that today's Ming Dynasty's tax collection methods are complicated and far less simple than the one-whip method, but one-whip is still not suitable for the current Ming Dynasty.

There was simply too little gold, silver, and copper to hold it together.

The more Zhu Yuanzhang saw what Zhang Juzheng did, the more satisfied he became.

Although this junior has some flaws, he is generally good for Ming Dynasty.

To rectify the atmosphere among scholars, because Lao Zhu himself said: "The key to governing a country is education first; the way to education is school."

It's a pity that the performance of this group of scholars really disappointed Zhu Yuanzhang. After becoming an official, he really couldn't get on the stage.

The current situation is just as he thought. After so many years, a large number of scholars still cannot get on the stage.

Zhang Juzheng rectified the post stations, supported people to control the river, inventoried the land, and rectified the taxes and levies in the south of the Yangtze River.

Lao Zhu was especially satisfied with Zhang Juzheng's rectification of Jiangnan.

South Zhili, Jiangxi, and Zhejiang provinces account for nearly half of the country's total tax revenue.

These people own the richest land, so they should pay more taxes!
Zhu Yuanzhang also established an ancestral motto that people from Jiangxi, Zhejiang, and Susong were not allowed to serve as household officials.

But he was disappointed. In the entire Ming Dynasty, only two-thirds of the officials were from Jiangnan, and they were very good at the imperial examination.

After Zhang Juzheng died, the court began to overthrow Zhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think it was abnormal at all.

It's just that Zhang Juzheng almost had his coffin opened and his body whipped, which made him unable to hold back any longer.

As for the Zhang family, more than ten members of the Zhang family were starved to death, and their bodies were dug out and eaten by wild dogs.

When the women of the Zhang family started to leave the house from Mrs. Zhao, the person in charge of searching them from head to toe, even below the navel and belly, was not spared.

This situation only happened in history when the Jin people occupied the capital of the Northern Song Dynasty and searched for palaces.

Zhu Yuanzhang also curled his lips. These executioners went too far without the emperor's permission.

Do they dare to embarrass the family of the once most powerful man?
Zhu Yuanzhang could feel that Zhang Juzheng was working hard for the Ming Dynasty, trying to move the Ming Dynasty from decline to prosperity.

In order to find out the non-existent corruption fee of two million taels, several sons were also punished and took turns serving him.

The eldest son wrote a letter in blood and hanged himself. Only then did the Zhang family's experience become widely circulated.

The liquidation of Zhang Juzheng lasted for three years.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that Wanli's grandson was so vengeful and didn't know what to think.

However, Zhu Biao couldn't help but cursed:

“As an emperor, he doesn’t even have the slightest bit of tolerance for others.

If he really wants to kill Zhang Juzheng while he is still alive, I can still praise you as a good man.

You must wait until he is dead before you take revenge. You look useless. "

When comparing Zhu Biao's approach to Wanli with Jiajing's, it's hard to look straight at it.

People can control the court when they are less than twenty, how about you?
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't have much to say when he saw Zhang Juzheng's end. Huo Guang's fate had long been announced.

It’s just that he thinks Wanli is a bit extreme!

Anyone who spoke to Zhang Juzheng was an ally, and a large number of people who had worked for the Ming Dynasty under Zhang Juzheng were implicated.

After no more words or pictures appeared in the glasses, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time before slowly speaking:
"I finally understand the meaning of that sentence."

Zhu Biao used his index finger to pull down the sunglasses on his face: "What about that, Dad?"

"It's easy to find out what's going on, but it's difficult to know what's going on;"

"It is easy for you to do things that are long-term, but difficult for you if you are young."

Zhu Biao was silent for a long time. He did not expect this situation to occur.

Wanli ascended the throne at a young age, and Zhang Juzheng, who had been in power for ten years, had grown up and had his own ideas.

Who is right and who is wrong?

Each has its own position.

"But Zhang Juzheng's ability to govern is recognized by us."

Zhu Yuanzhang changed his past sad look again.

To be honest, he really learned a lot of governance methods from Zhang Juzheng, intending to set the rules in the Hongwu Dynasty.

He has to do some things by himself!
