Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

When Mei Yin heard the question asked by Zhu Biao, he was slightly stunned.

Obviously, he did not expect that Crown Prince Zhu Biao would come to ask for his opinion on this issue.

But after figuring out what Zhu Biao was saying.

Mei Yin's heart was filled with many emotions at once.

Zhu Yuanzhang really loved his eldest son, Crown Prince Zhu Biao, to his core.

Even if Zhu Biao did not say much about this matter, just look at the arrangements made by Zhu.

Let the fourth brother go kill people first and sweep Jiangnan.

Then he let the Crown Prince Zhu Biao follow and comfort him with gentle words.

It is possible to see Zhu Yuanzhang's intention in these matters.

That's really biased to the extreme.

At the same time, think back to the history you know.

Neither Zhu Yuanzhang nor Zhu Di did these things.

It seems that the fourth brother is getting further and further away from his title as the General Who Conquers the Northern Territory.

Mei Yin felt that this was the reason why such a big deviation occurred at this time.

The biggest reason is that as this little butterfly has been here for longer and longer periods of time, the wind it has fanned has become stronger and stronger.

The impact is growing.

So, in the end, things gradually developed to this point.

But what Mei Yin didn't know was that, in addition to his push, there was more.

One of the important reasons why things developed step by step to the present state was not what he expected.

Instead, Zhu Yuanzhang also obtained a simulator without realizing it.

And through the simulator, we also learned the future fate of Zhu Di, Zhu Biao and others.

That's why it is like this.

However, even if he didn't know this, Mei Yin watched the maritime ban being abolished by Zhu Yuanzhang.

The pirates at sea were also dealt with.

At this time, preparations were being made to actively develop the Maritime Customs Office.

Things are developing step by step as I wish, and I am in a very good mood.

At that moment, he suppressed the many thoughts in his mind and began to think here.

How to give advice to Zhu Biao.

This matter is very important.

It can even be said that the tone of many things can be set at this time.

Seeing that Mei Yin was thinking, Crown Prince Zhu Biao did not urge him.

Just waiting quietly.

After a while, Mei Yin asked Zhu Biao some questions about what Zhu Biao and his team were going to do in the future.

Zhu Biao explained them one by one.

Mei Yin nodded and fell into deep thought again.

After Zhu Biao drank three cups of tea, Mei Yin, who had been silent all the time, stood up and stretched his body.

Looking at Zhu Biao, he said, "Brother, I have some suggestions for you.
My father is right. The world has been ruined by the Tartars for too long.

The Tartars' management of the local area was terrible.

In other dynasties, the imperial power mostly did not extend to the countryside; no matter how bad the situation was, the imperial power only extended below the county level.

As a result, the Tartars couldn't even take over the provinces below.

In order to save trouble, they did nothing and just threw out the tax-sharing system.

This made countless gentry and corrupt officials fatten their stomachs with food and clothing.

But at the same time, many people under the rule suffered greatly.

The interests belonging to the imperial court were also madly encroached upon by them.

What my father said about taking the opportunity to get rid of these people makes sense.

This world must be sorted out carefully..."

I heard my second brother-in-law say the same thing.

The method Zhu Biao had mentioned to his father before did make sense.

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Mei Yin say, "But we can't kill them all.

They've all been killed, and there's no one left to work.

Although there is a saying that without a butcher, we can't eat hairy pigs.

But in my opinion, if we really use too strong measures, we will plow through all these people.

So in the future, it will not be easy for the country to make profits by rapidly developing the economy of Jiangnan and other places.

There will inevitably be great turmoil.

Under such circumstances, the eldest brother can selectively let some people go.

Put all these people in jail.

Make all the evidence of their crimes public.

Take their affairs seriously.

Scare them severely.

Then they can use some means to squeeze money and benefits from these people.

Empty their value.

For example, the eldest brother can lock up all the families involved in this matter.

Then give some conditions.

Originally, all these people were destined to have their properties confiscated and beheaded.

However, we can formulate some rules to give preferential treatment to a dozen or even 10 to 20 of them..."

Zhu Biao listened and took notes carefully.

At this moment, after hearing what Mei Yin said, he felt a little confused.

These people should all have their homes confiscated and beheaded, so how can they be exempted?

What method should be used?
In this case, wouldn't things be a little difficult to handle?

Wouldn’t that mean that the law of the country no longer exists?

However, Zhu Biao only thought about these in his heart and did not say them out loud.

Just wait for the next step and continue to listen to what my brother-in-law says.

He believed that his brother-in-law might have more to say and other ways to deal with the situation.

Han Cheng said: "These families that are favored can also be divided into different levels.

For example, the first class, these can not only be exempted from prison, but also be absolved of their faults.

It is also enough to allow them to participate in the Maritime Customs.

This is to give them sweet dates.

If they are second class, they can keep part of the property.

As for the third class, they will only be exempted from the death penalty so that they can live...

"Second brother-in-law, this...how can we determine which family should be pardoned and which should not be pardoned among these people?
Which one is first class, which one is second class, and which one is third class?"

After hearing this, Zhu Biao couldn't help but look at Mei Yin and asked.

Mei Yin said: "Brother, this is easy.

This level is not determined by us, but by themselves.

Their destiny is in their own hands.”

Hearing Mei Yin's words.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao thought of something, but he didn't quite understand it.

What does it mean to have it in their own hands?
Aren’t these people all prisoners?
How can we still control their destiny?
Mei Yin didn't keep anyone in suspense and immediately started talking about the solution.

"Brother, this is what happened.

We can formulate corresponding rules here.

Make a list of the most popular and the most popular among them.

Give them a chance to atone for their sins...

Mei Yin couldn't help but smile slyly when he said this.

Then, his expression became serious again.

“The red list is a plus point, and the black list is a minus point.

At that time, the scores of the two lists can be added and subtracted to get the total score of the contribution list.

The future treatment these people will receive will be ranked according to this score.

From high to low…

As for what will add points and what will deduct points, it is up to you to formulate it according to the actual needs after you get there.

For example, one point can be earned by paying a certain amount of money, for example, to support the vigorous development of the Maritime Customs.

What kind of contributions do these guys need to make to score…

This list cannot be completed in just a short period of time.

It has to last at least a year.

It can even be extended to two years and then see the final results.

However, the rankings need to be updated every month, along with their respective scores.

Let those who were caught know clearly how many points each person got.

And how high is the ranking..."

Here, Mei Yin talked in detail about the solution he had thought of.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao, from not quite understanding it in the beginning, gradually understood it, and later on, he was completely shocked.

The things my second brother-in-law said are very novel.

At first glance, it seems a little hard to understand.

But the more you think about it, the more you realize how powerful it is.

This thing is simply an unparalleled weapon!
It has a deep control over people's hearts.

When are arrows the greatest threat?
It doesn't mean shooting the enemy.

But it is when it is about to start.

The deterrent effect was greatest at that time.

My second brother-in-law’s opinion is that for those who deserve the death penalty, it is not as simple as just killing them.

Instead, we should use this method to kill them slowly and bit by bit.

And give some of them hope.

These people are inherently sinful.

Moreover, they are all capital crimes with the property confiscated and the whole family exterminated.

In this case, you can flatten or round them at will.

They couldn't create any waves.

However, knowing that they will die, they will definitely use some methods to resist the court.

In such circumstances, even if we really try our best to dig out their wealth.

It is also difficult to get all their property.

The skills of these local gentry and wealthy families in hiding money are truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.

But now, after my second brother-in-law’s suggestions, I have the methods he mentioned.

But these people can be squeezed cleanly.

After all, no matter whether it is the rule of adding or subtracting points, it is up to you to decide.

These people were supposed to die.

But now, I have given them a chance.

Let some of them live.

Even some of them who performed well not only survived but also secured all their property.

Not only that, you will be able to work in the Maritime Customs in the future.

The temptation is huge.

Under such circumstances, these people will definitely rush to fight for this opportunity and give their all.

In this case, doesn't it mean that he has to do whatever I say?
My second brother-in-law immediately pointed out the way to that place.

My second brother-in-law is really amazing!

When it comes to controlling people's hearts, I am far from it.

He is worthy of being my second brother-in-law!
Just a slight move was already so extraordinary!
I knew before I came here that my second brother-in-law would definitely have some good ideas on this.

You can get something yourself.

However, what he never expected was that what he got was a method that far exceeded his expectations.

“Of course, it’s not okay for one company to dominate the market alone.

In Fengyang, there are also some talents that the big brother needs.

Before that, my father conquered Jiangnan and defeated Zhang Shicheng.

Let Wu Zhen be responsible for forcing some wealthy businessmen to move to Fengyang.

For example, among them are the famous Shen Wansan and his clansmen.

After so many years, the many industries left behind by these people in places like Jiangnan have been completely taken over by those who did not move away.

It can be said that there is naturally a great hatred between them.

If we bring some of the people there back, naturally, two big contradictions will be formed there..."

After hearing Mei Yin say this, Zhu Biao suddenly remembered some of the things his father had done before.

If it weren't for what his second brother-in-law said, he really wouldn't have thought of this.

I have been thinking about what is happening in Jiangnan.

As a result, my second brother-in-law had already thought of the people in his hometown of Fengyang.

"Second brother-in-law, this is a good idea!!"

Zhu Biao immediately began to praise Mei Yin.

As smart as he is, he can immediately see how good the idea proposed by his second brother-in-law is.

It's simply not very useful.

Needless to say, how beneficial it is to have the two gangs check and balance each other.

As the crown prince, it can be said that this is his instinct.

The understanding is deeper than that of ordinary people.

“In addition to these, when Big Brother arrives there, he can also set up relevant chambers of commerce in various industries.

And formulate corresponding regulations for them.

So easy to manage.

There is also one most important thing, which is that the government also needs to abide by the law.

After establishing various rules for the distribution of benefits.

Government officials also need to abide by the rules set by the court itself and not break them easily.

We must act in accordance with the law.

It is absolutely not allowed to arbitrarily encroach on the interests of those merchants outside the rules.

Ensure a stable business environment.

Only in this way can we make the cake bigger and stronger.

Let more people benefit from it.

People are profit-seeking.

In this way, after operating for some time, people will be able to see the benefits, and more and more people will take the initiative to devote themselves to this matter.

Only in this way can we make maritime trade and external development bigger and stronger.

It can make more people yearn for overseas..."

Here, Mei Yin expresses his views on these matters.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao held a pen and paper and wrote all of this down.

Sometimes, when I encounter something I don’t understand, I will ask Mei Yin and discuss it with him.

Extremely serious and solemn.

Mei Yin did not hide anything about this matter and told Zhu Biao everything he knew.

Zhu Biao benefited greatly this time.

It was not until noon the next day that Crown Prince Zhu Biao left Mei Yin.

There were two dark circles under his eyes, and it was obvious that he didn't sleep well last night.

On the way back, he was still secretly thanking his luck that he had thought of visiting his second brother-in-law from the beginning.

Ask about this matter carefully.

Otherwise, this time I will suffer a huge loss!

There are many things that I really can’t think of if I don’t hear from my second brother-in-law…

……

"Father, my second brother-in-law said that we can't kill all the people over there."

After arriving at the Wuying Hall, Zhu Biao saluted Zhu Yuanzhang and said to him.

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

What nonsense is this?
Why can't I kill?!
