Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

Is Zhu Yuanzhang's military household system good or not?

To be honest, it is really good in the early stage.

Solved a big problem.

It also has a lot of positive meanings,
But later on, the problem of military households became extremely serious.

More and more military households have lost their land, and many local guard posts exist in name only.

There is no fighting ability at all.

However, these military households are restricted by their household registration and cannot leave at will.

I can only stay there.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang appointed military household chiefs again, due to the hereditary system.

Later, the soldiers at the guard station actually became slaves of the guard commander.

Many, many people's lives are miserable.

Countless people want to get rid of this identity and go outside.

But because Ming Dynasty had strict household registration regulations.

Except for a few people, most people can't get rid of it at all.

It can only be firmly trapped by it.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang said that he could raise millions of soldiers without costing the people a grain of rice.

Mei Yin really disagrees.

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, after hearing what he was most proud of, Mei Yin showed such an expression.

He also sneered.

It really excited him!

How uncomfortable it is in your heart!
If he hadn't been thinking about Mei Yin's many achievements and his easy temper, he would have really wanted to give Mei Yin a good beating at this moment!
Suppressing the anger in his heart, he stood here and looked at Mei Yin.

I want to see Mei Yin and see what nonsense her mother can say.

How to quibble!

He didn't believe that the military household system implemented in the Ming Dynasty was so unfavorable!

How can Mei Yin slander the military household system!

In today's Ming Dynasty, I don't know how many people want to become military households.

After all, I am really willing to give money to the army.

There are also many rewards for military achievements.

He has never been stingy with rewards for meritorious soldiers.

He also strictly ordered his subordinates not to be greedy or deduct food and salary.

The lives of the military households were really good.

The key is that there are corresponding promotion channels.

As long as you can make enough contributions, you will never have to worry about being promoted.

This is something that ordinary people cannot enjoy.

Apart from anything else, the fact that only the children of military households were particularly popular was enough to show how good our military household system was.

The eyes of the people below are sharp.

The understanding of these things is better than many people.

If military households were not good, how could there be so many people wanting to marry their daughters to military households?
It's simply impossible.

Also, you can raise millions of soldiers yourself without costing the common people a grain of rice.

It’s not just talk,

Because of the military household system, how many people have benefited from it!
The military household itself is self-sufficient and has a lot of food that can be used as military supplies.

It has greatly reduced the burden of many people.

This is a particularly good policy!
As a result, Mei Yin, this piece of shit, is here haha.

He hehehehehehe!

Zhu Yuanzhang has such a violent temper that he can no longer control it!
Mei Yin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was getting higher and higher. Not only did he not feel scared, but he seemed to be more excited in his heart.

good! good! That’s good!

Lao Zhu's anger was finally aroused by himself!

The higher he goes, the better!

It's best to chop yourself to death with a knife right now!
“Raising a million soldiers without spending a grain of rice?

Your Majesty, you speak nicely!
These are all based on the premise of exploiting many military households!
Could it be that these many military households are not our subjects of the Ming Dynasty, or are they not the common people of the Ming Dynasty? !
Moreover, this military household system will inevitably be abandoned within a hundred years!

Many health centers will be in vain!
Many people in the guardhouse also lost their fighting ability.

Many people's lives are miserable.

Not to mention having enough food and clothing, it’s hard to stay alive!

Many people live worse than slaves!
No one wants to marry their daughter to a military household and suffer the consequences.

Military households have simply become the lowest level of the Ming Dynasty! "

"Fuck your mother's fart!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mei Yin and cursed.

He really didn't believe that what Mei Yin said was true.

This is what it is, pure nonsense and nonsense!
The Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to soldiers.

And now the status of soldiers is really high.

Under such circumstances, how could there be such a big change in the future?

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe this at all.

I just feel that Mei Yin is just talking nonsense.

If this bastard can't come up with something useful today.

I will definitely make him look good today!

Zhu Yuanzhang's fist is already hard!
I was already thinking in my heart, how to teach Mei Yin a lesson to make this bitch behave!
Mei Yin's voice rang out again: "Nowadays, the life of military households in the Ming Dynasty is indeed good.

But within twenty years, someone will inevitably abandon their identity as a military household! "

What Mei Yin said was not nonsense.

It was the death remonstrance system that gave him the exact message.

During the Hongwu period, only more than ten years after Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty had already seen the flight of military households from local guards.

This can be seen from Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial edict angrily denounced King Liang and others of the Yuan Dynasty in the southwest.

It is said that King Liang used improper means to seduce some of Ming's military households there and brought them to his side.

It can be seen from this that the military household system set up by Zhu Yuanzhang already had certain problems during the Hongwu Dynasty.

If there were no problems, military households were really so attractive, and it would be absolutely impossible for those military households to abandon such good treatment and become fugitive households.

After Mei Yin said these words, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression became even colder.

I feel even more that Mei Yin is talking nonsense.

Why does this piece of shit keep getting more and more outrageous?
I said before that a hundred years later, but now I directly say that during my Hongwu period, there will be desertions from military households.
What kind of shit is this?

Military households are obviously very popular now!
Mei Yin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Father-in-law, don't disbelieve, don't be dissatisfied, and don't be angry.

The military household system does have big problems.

The treatment of military households is indeed quite good in all aspects.

But there are too many things that military households need to bear.

And the distribution is also particularly unreasonable.

The harvests obtained after cultivating the land of those military households.

Most of it must be collected and used as military supplies.

Only a small amount of food will be distributed to each military household.

Although all military households have food to eat.

But life was not rich.

In the key family, there are still people who go to the battlefield, fight, and sacrifice their lives.

At the same time, the households under my father's rule were much more comfortable.

Not only did they not have to fight, but the government also gave them land.

In addition to the normal land, the rest of these wastelands.

Generally speaking, whoever reclaims it belongs to him.

Moreover, the cultivated fields are tax-free for the first three years.

How can this not make those military households look at it with envy?

Therefore, it is normal for people to flee their households in the future! "

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Mei Yin said, his expression was inconsistent.

I think what Mei Yin said does make some sense.

After such an idea arose, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately threw the idea out of his mind.

There’s a damn truth!

This bitch is just messing around here!

“Military households may have some problems in the future.

But this is not a big problem

Even if there are some people who have fled their households, they are only a minority!

It has no impact on the overall situation!

There will never be a situation like what you said, where military households fled in large numbers, and many military households lived in misery, and even became slaves in the guards! "

Zhu Yuanzhang said this with absolute certainty.

Mei Yin said: "Father, you are too confident, you only see the present, but you cannot see the future.

What I just said is only the smallest problem that will arise in the future with the military household system.

There is a more fundamental problem, which my father has not seen at all! "

Are there any fundamental questions?

Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't imagine where this fundamental problem lay.

Mei Yin stamped her feet and said, "Land."

Land again? !
When Mei Yin was talking to Biao'er about something before, he mentioned land.
Why is this now... bringing the matter to the land again?

Zhu Yuanzhang looked a little stunned.

“The problem of this land is the biggest problem.

The land owned by military households was limited.

In the early days, military households all owned ample land.

Those military households farmed and the output was quite impressive.

After paying for all kinds of food and supplies, there wasn't much left over.

But it is enough for them to support their families.

But my father seemed to have forgotten one thing.

That is, these military households are also human beings, they can reproduce, marry and have children.

A military household was counted as having three sons.

How much will the number of military households increase after three generations? "

Mei Yin's calculation of a military household as having three sons is not an exaggeration.

Because the people of this era are very different from those of later generations.

Having many children means good fortune. There are three types of unfilial piety, the greatest of which is not having offspring.

This concept is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Moreover, there are no corresponding avoidance measures.

Evening entertainment is also very lacking.

There are not that many methods of abortion.

So generally speaking, in families with children, children are special.

There are only one or two in a family, which are extremely rare.

Most of them have five, six, seven or eight brothers and sisters.

In the early years of the dynasty, after experiencing troubled times, the population would experience explosive growth in a relatively calm environment.

"Father, do your own calculations. Over the past twenty years, after two or three generations, how much will the number of military households increase?

Even for various reasons, some people died in battle.

Some families have become extinct.

But overall, the population will see a particularly large increase!
The number is definitely more than double what it is now! "

After hearing what Mei Yin said, Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it carefully, but did not say much on this matter.

This bastard Mei Yin is really not talking nonsense.

Although Mei Yin is a bitch, her demeanor and tone when speaking are particularly annoying.

It makes people just want to hack him to death.

But what he said is correct.

This is an easy thing to think of.

He snorted and made a reluctant sound.

It seemed that he agreed with what Mei Yin said.

Mei Yin said: "Everyone who is born needs to eat.

There needs to be something to provide for.

Most of the materials they need for life come from the land.

But the land they own is limited.

Over the years, even though there has been some land reclamation and some military households' land has increased to a certain extent.

But compared with the rate of increase in the military household population, that is far from enough.

The current land can indeed allow today's military households to live a pretty good life.

There won't be any big problems.

But after a few more generations, there was a huge increase in population.

There is still so much land, how can father think their life can be any better?
Do you dare to say that a hundred years from now, problems like this won’t arise?
It doesn’t take a hundred years!

In another twenty years, this problem will inevitably become more acute! "

After Mei Yin said these words, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was still extremely tough at first, felt that Mei Yin was full of nonsense.

Being fucked into silence.

Damn it... He really hadn't settled this account before.

I just feel that the military household system is particularly good and there are no big problems.

This can be continued in the future.

But now, after Mei Yin said this, he suddenly reacted.

It seems...it seems like the truth is really true. This is the truth.

Thinking like this, I suddenly remembered some of the words Biao'er had said to me before -

It's what he said to Mei Yin and Biao'er yesterday.

There was a movement in my heart and I reacted immediately.

Looking at Mei Yin, he said: "No! What the hell are you saying?

This is not just the population of military households, there will be a huge increase.

What will increase in the future is the entire population!

Those people also agreed that they would have a large number of children.

Their land will also not increase much.

The living standards of the people will definitely decline accordingly.

Don’t worry about scarcity but inequality.

With everyone declining, the lives of those military households were not as good as those of their fathers and grandfathers.

But that's bearable...

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang's mood suddenly improved a lot.

Looking at Mei Yin, his eyes became cold again.

Damn it!

This bullshit Mei Yin still wanted to lie to herself, and she deceived herself very hard on this matter.

Fortunately, I realized the problem in time.

Otherwise, I would have almost been fooled by this guy!

The key is to think that the words he used to refute Mei Yin at this time were the same words he said to his family Biao'er before.

Now I use the method he said to deal with Mei Yin.

This feeling is quite good.

This bitch, at this level, still wants to reprimand himself on these matters?
Think more!
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Mei Yin nodded and said, "What my father-in-law said does make sense.

But the status of military households has declined far beyond my father-in-law's imagination!
Life is far more miserable than that of the common people, and their decline is faster than that of them.

This is not just because the burden on military households is heavy. More importantly, military household land is more likely to be annexed.

In the future, the land of many military households will definitely be annexed by many people in one way or another.

Especially those local officials, gentry, and other people with connections in their families.

It will encroach on the fields of military households on a large scale.

The number of military households itself has increased very quickly.

Leading to Mr. Tian.

And because there were outsiders, they carried out large-scale invasions of the households' fields.

And my father-in-law asked the chief of the local health office to implement a hereditary system.

Later, many ordinary military households, called military households, actually became their personal slaves.

Life is miserable!

Not even comparable to many common people.

Just like what my father and I said before, and because of the restriction of military household registration, they can't leave here.

Once you leave, it is a crime and you will be severely punished.

Under such circumstances, do you think those military households can live well?

Do you think those military households will appreciate your kindness?

How can it be!

Stop dreaming!

They will only scold you!

hate you!

Because you are the one who formulated this policy and asked future generations to continue it without making changes, you are the culprit! "

Mei Yin's voice gradually became more intense.

His tone also became more and more rude, and he looked angry.

He looked even angrier than Zhu Yuanzhang.

After Li Jinglong heard what his second uncle said and saw his second uncle's state, he couldn't help but be confused.

I just feel like I can't turn my head around.

what's the situation?
what is happening?
Why...all of a sudden, the second uncle became like this again?
Wasn't the second uncle's behavior intentional?
I want to use this method to arouse my uncle's favor.

It's nominally a remonstrance, but actually it's a compliment to my uncle.

How...why is it happening again at this time?

This is not how it works!
Li Jinglong looked particularly confused!

While feeling confused, he, who had just relaxed his mind, became nervous again.

And he was prepared to pounce on him if something went wrong and kneel on the ground to protect his uncle's thigh.

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard Mei Yin's words, he took a sip directly.

“Stop being alarmist and farting nonsense here!
In the future, the land of military households will be invaded on a large scale?
Who doesn't want to die?
Dare to invade the fields of military households?
Don’t you know those people are holding knives in their hands?
I don’t know that I, the military general of the Ming Dynasty, and my military status are very high, among those officials, which one would dare to do this?

Let's skin and pluck them one by one! "

During the Hongwu period and even the following Yongle period, the military generals of the Ming Dynasty had a very high status.

So much so that even the military households below were not too low in status.

But it won’t work later.

Mei Yin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Father-in-law, you can say such things now.

But what happened later?
The status of nobles and generals will inevitably become lower and lower.

Just because no one dares to do it at this time does not mean that no one will dare to do it in the future.

As for peeling daylily... If you dare to do this, will future generations dare to do it?
Would you do this for the military households again? "

Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless by Mei Yin's words.

He emphasized his tone and said: "Even the descendants of later generations are weak and do not live up to expectations.

The military household field matter is of fundamental importance, but no one dares to take action!

My Ming Dynasty is not the Song Dynasty!

I won’t emphasize culture and suppress military force! "

"Ha ha……"

When Mei Yin heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he sneered again.

The veins on Zhu Yuanzhang's forehead jumped.

My anger is almost uncontrollable
Damn it, can’t Mei Yin, this bitch, speak properly?
Just sneer if nothing happens!
Sneer, sneer!

Mei Yin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Father-in-law, you are too naive!

Your thoughts are similar to those of a child!
As the saying goes, once a person dies, the government will be destroyed.

The policies formulated by the father will be effective while the father is alive.

But once the father passed away, what the father said no longer mattered.

These policies of yours should be followed by future generations if they want to abide by them, and abolished if they want to be abolished.

It is impossible to use your Hongwu Dynasty rules to restrain so many people behind you!
Even if you are the emperor, you can’t do the same?
After Mei Yin said these words, Li Jinglong's heart skipped a beat.

I was so shocked that I almost covered my second uncle’s mouth!

The second uncle has such a mouth, he really dares to say anything!

How dare he have the courage to say such words to his uncle at this time?
Discussing the aftermath of the emperor's death directly in front of an emperor.

He also said that after death, he has no control over his funeral affairs.

This...is this second uncle really looking for death?

Even Li Jinglong has experienced Mei Yin's death remonstrance many times.

But at this time, listening to what Mei Yin said and the attitude he showed.

I still feel terrified!
Was surprised!

"Fuck your mother's fart!"

Zhu Yuanzhang cursed again.

"Why can't we care about what happens next?
Our motherfucker is the founding emperor, how can we not care about this? !
Are we going to leave the ancestral teachings next?
Write all these in the ancestral precepts!
It shows that our Ming Dynasty, no matter who is civilized or martial, is not allowed to usurp the land of military households!
Anyone who embezzles in any way is a heinous crime!

Needs severe punishment!
We don’t believe it. We wrote it into the ancestral precepts, and the people of later generations are still so bold and dare not to abide by it! "

Hearing this, Mei Yin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and smiled:
Father, do you really think that the ancestral precepts of the founding emperor of your country are easy to use?
The more ancestral teachings you leave behind, the more restrictions you will have on future generations.

It’s not like my father didn’t know what the civil servant’s mouth looked like.

The black one can speak and the white one can speak!

Are you used to confusing right and wrong?

From now on, the ancestral teachings left by my father will definitely be sieved by them!

It is absolutely impossible to restrain those officials, only the emperor.

They will use various methods to misinterpret the ancestral teachings left by Your Majesty.

They only talk about what is beneficial to them.

Just look at the restrictions on the emperor.

If the emperor does something that does not conform to the ancestral precepts you left, they will definitely talk about it.

As for what they did, it was not in line with the ancestral precepts.

Then they will definitely remain silent.

Even if someone uses the ancestral teachings as an excuse, they will all make excuses.

Misinterpret the ancestral precepts of my father.

When that time comes, what can the father do?
Can you climb out of the underground mausoleum and chop them all down?
Father, please don't feel that you are special about this kind of thing.

Be an exception!
Impossible!

While you are alive, you can still create a powerful shock.

Suppress many people.

But after you pass away, your words really mean nothing.

No one will listen?
Your ancestral precepts will inevitably be changed beyond recognition! "

What Mei Yin said was not false.

Coming from later generations, he knew very well how the ancestral precepts of the Emperor Ming Dynasty left by Zhu Yuanzhang had been manipulated.

It is completely opposite to Zhu Yuanzhang's original intention of leaving his ancestral precepts.

Lao Zhu doesn't care about his descendants and ministers who are far away from him.

He can't even control his Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen!

When Lao Zhu was alive, the status of military generals was far superior to that of civilian officials.

As a result, after Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen came to power, everything turned upside down.

Many of Zhu Yuanzhang's policies during his lifetime began to be crazily abolished by Zhu Yunwen.

At the same time, he began to continuously suppress military generals and crazily promoted the status of civilian officials.

After Zhu Yuanzhang became ill, he specifically asked Zhu Yunwen how he would get along with his uncles who held military power after he ascended the throne.

Zhu Yunwen's answer was naturally that he would not cut down the vassal clan. Family ties are very important...

As a result, when Zhu Yuanzhang died, he had only been on the throne for just one month, and before his bones were cold, Zhu Yuanzhang had already begun to aggressively reduce the vassal status.

And he still cut the feudal king to death...

Lao Zhu can't even control his own grandson.

Not to mention the emperors and numerous officials in later generations.

Lao Zhu's ancestral precepts from the Imperial Ming Dynasty were really ruined by those civil servants later.

But obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think so.

After hearing what Mei Yin said, Zhu Yuanzhang's nose was almost twisted with anger.

“That motherfucker is farting here again!

Why can't we care about the funeral?
We don’t believe that people of later generations are so bold!

Even we, the founding emperor, dare not follow the ancestral precepts left by us!
Being the descendants of emperors in future generations will be so useless.

It can be manipulated by those officials.

Look at them distorting our ancestral teachings! "

Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Mei Yin was too alarmist and underestimated him.

The person who can become the emperor, especially the founding emperor, is the person who has become the emperor all the way with an identity like Lao Zhu.

There is some complete arrogance in my heart.

I always feel that my destiny is my destiny, that I am special and different from others.

Not to mention people like Zhu Yuanzhang who went from being herders to beggars and became emperors.

Even many ordinary people sometimes feel that they are special and different from others in many things.

I will also become that one, a rare exception.

But the final result is... In fact, everyone is quite ordinary.

Exceptions are generally rare.

At this time, I heard Mei Yin say here that the future generations are too far away and his ancestral precepts will have no effect.

He said that as an emperor, there is nothing special about him.

This really irritated Zhu Yuanzhang and he couldn't stand it.

He couldn't help it anymore and almost wanted to draw his sword.

That bitch Mei Yin really can't spit out ivory from her mouth!
I have remonstrated so many times, but every time I remonstrate, I have to come up with some new tricks and come up with new words.

When Mei Yin was there and criticized Li Shanchang in public, Zhu Yuanzhang felt so comfortable.

At this time, I felt so uncomfortable and angry!

Mei Yin looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Father-in-law, don't be dissatisfied.

There are things about human nature and some invisible and intangible laws.

Not changed by human effort.

If the ancestral teachings and what the previous emperor said are really useful.

Then Great Qin would not have died in the second generation!

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty would not change his rule of inaction during the Wenjing Dynasty, rest and recuperate, and start attacking foreign countries.

Liu Chan would not be happy to miss Shu.

The Sui Dynasty also would not die after two generations.

Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty would not launch the Xuanwumen Revolution.

Zhao Laoer of the Song Dynasty would not even have the shadow of a candlelight...

There have been countless such things throughout the ages.

A person's death cannot control his descendants.

How could the father-in-law think that Daming could become that special one?

Do you think you can become that special existence?
The land of military households will inevitably be expropriated in large quantities in the future. Even if the father and emperor set down ancestral precepts and set various strict rules, it would be of no use.

Rules are dead, people are alive.

There are so many smart people.

Moreover, not every emperor in later generations would attach as much importance to military preparedness as his father.

My father now treats corrupt officials with strict methods and strict regulations.

But are corrupt officials really extinct in the Ming Dynasty?

Mei Yin's words made Zhu Yuanzhang's expression stagnant.

This sentence really hit his pain point.

I really hate corrupt officials.

The methods used to deal with corrupt officials are also particularly tough.

But is there really no corrupt officials in our own Ming Dynasty?

How can it be!

The number of corrupt officials in our own Ming Dynasty is still frightening.

Not to mention anything else, just the empty seal case that we experienced not long ago killed more than 3,000 officials at once!

Even high-ranking officials such as the Minister of Household Affairs and the Minister of Household Affairs had to peel day lilies.

When the founding emperors like him were still there, and his methods of dealing with these people were so tough.

It's still not possible to kill these people's corruption.

Will those people really become honest in the future?

Do the descendants of future generations really have the same courage to deal with corrupt officials as I do?

Zhu Yuanzhang has always been very confident and decisive on this matter.

At this time, they were all silenced.

I already feel that what Mei Yin said is actually quite correct.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was always stubborn.

How could he give in so easily on such a matter?

"We don't believe it! We will become like that in the future!

If we don’t believe it, we don’t have any visionary people!
We don't believe that all those noble generals are such wastes!

They would look at the officials who had embezzled a large amount of military households' property and remain indifferent!
My Ming Dynasty does not control military affairs by virtue of civility, and the status of noble generals is very high.

As long as they are still there.

The situation you mentioned cannot happen on a large scale!
After all, military households belong to the line of distinguished generals.

Honorable men and women want to maintain their dignity and hold power.

Then we must treat military households well.

Not to mention how good it is, at least the most basic things must be guaranteed! "

After listening to what Zhu Yuanzhang said, Mei Yin smiled.

"Father, you are too naive about this matter!

At this time in the Ming Dynasty, martial arts were indeed noble and civilized.

Honorable generals have a great say.

The civil servants couldn't jump up.

However, I dare to assert that within a hundred years, this pattern will inevitably be broken!
The noble generals will be suppressed by the civilian officials..."

"impossible!

Farting here again! "

Before Mei Yin finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice rang out, directly interrupting Mei Yin's words.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't believe what Mei Yin said at all.

He didn't believe that these noble generals could be so useless.

Those civil servants are so knowledgeable. Able to do so many things.

The Ming Dynasty was different from the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty, from the founding emperor, emphasized culture and suppressed military power.

I'm a Ming Dynasty, and I won't do such stupid things.

Under such circumstances, how could these civil servants, whose power was far inferior to that of the military generals, be able to overpower the military generals?
Not to mention one hundred years, they can't do it in two hundred years! ! (End of chapter)
