Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 200 It is very important to open up people’s wisdom and determine the attributes of the land.

Zhang Cheng's personal influence was limited. He only influenced the official schools in the rebel army such as Zhu Yuanzhang.

The people of the world are also passively represented by the rebels, and they are also passively the targets of their efforts to make them rich and noble.

Therefore, it is natural that the official schools in these rebel armies can formulate the system as they say.

Then, some officers and schools in the rebel army who actually still have conservative ideas will naturally not implement the concept of the Datong Society so well, causing the system embodied in the concept of the Datong Society in the rebel army to move to the right.

Zhang Cheng himself also made a compromise because there were still many landlord-minded people in the rebel army.

In Zhang Cheng's view, the national system that the current rebels will establish is essentially a dual system.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was elected emperor by everyone.

But that's because Zhu Yuanzhang was the founding emperor.

The founding emperor was essentially supported by powerful forces from all walks of life.

But in this process of support, there will be peaceful compromises and violent conflicts.

This rebel army started from Guo Zixing and finally decided to make Zhu Yuanzhang the future emperor. Due to Zhang Cheng's influence and Zhu Yuanzhang himself being practical and good at dealing with various forces, there were more peaceful compromises and did not come to an end. There must be massive violence and conflagration.

And the reason why everyone was willing to compromise and make Zhu Yuanzhang the emperor.

The basic logic behind it is that whoever gets the support of the most military leaders will be the emperor.

Because among all the rebel forces, Zhang Cheng gave up being emperor and expressed his support for Zhu Yuanzhang as emperor.

That means that the armies founded by Zhang Cheng such as the Shenji Battalion and Huben Battalion of the First Army that support Zhang Cheng, as well as Guo Tianxu's Second Army and Shao Rong's Fourth Army also have to support Zhu Yuanzhang.

The Third Army of Li Shanchang and Feng Guoyong already supported Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang was also willing to be emperor.

Therefore, there was no obstacle for Zhu Yuanzhang to become emperor, and he had the support of all the rebel soldiers.

As for the newly attached rebel forces, namely Chang Yuchun, Deng Yu, Xie Zaixing and the Chaohu Navy, naturally there is no need to care whether they support or not.

Because even if they unite, they are no match for the First Army, the Second Army, the Third Army, and the Fourth Army.

As for why it is said that the current monarch and nobles in the rebel army are governed by a dual system.

This is because the monarch and the Tingyi Bureau of the Datong Society co-govern, and the monarch has a veto power, and the nobles of the Tingyi Bureau have the power to refuse to recognize the corresponding decree.

Zhang Cheng doesn't care who is the emperor now.

What he cares more about is whether in the future this system will still be due to the strong inertia of the natural economy, making him, the person who can most easily influence the status of the emperor, the most in need of being eliminated by the landlord class.

Because once the country established by the rebels is still based on natural economy in the future, then he, the person most likely to challenge Zhu Yuanzhang's throne, will become the most unstable factor among the landlord class and needs to be eliminated the most.

Only if the country established in the future is mainly based on commodity economy and industrial economy, then he, the person most likely to challenge Zhu Yuanzhang's throne, will become the factor most conducive to stability among the bourgeoisie and the civilian class.

At that time, he could reconcile the relationship between the emperor and other conservatives and the bourgeoisie and the common people. When the time comes, emperors such as Zhu Yuanzhang will need him to maintain stability, the bourgeoisie will also need him to maintain stability, and the common people will need him to maintain stability even more.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng knew that if he wanted to stay safely in this world now, he could only accelerate the development of science and technology, develop productivity, open up people's wisdom, and completely reverse the absolute dominance of the natural economy in Chinese civilization.

Otherwise, if he stays in this world, he will only die without a burial place.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang does not kill him, the scholar-bureaucrats will force Zhu Yuanzhang to kill him.

Of course, with Zhu Yuanzhang's pragmatic character, he would take the initiative to kill him.

to this end.

Zhang Cheng then took the initiative to say to Zhu Yuanzhang, Guo Tianxu and others: "Since we all regard the idea of ​​Datong Society as the idea of ​​governing the country, and we are all dedicated to the country and the nation, then we should establish a land project for this purpose." The law makes it clear who owns the land in the world and whether it can be annexed, so as to achieve our goal of making the people rich and prosperous."

“But also to clarify who the land belongs to?”

Guo Tianxu asked curiously.

Zhu Yuanzhang answered for Zhang Cheng at this time: "Of course, Mr. Zhang mentioned this to us. The land in this world is the foundation of the country and the foundation of the people. The right of ownership must be properly handled, and we, the people of Datong Society, are the most important. The important duty is to restrain annexation and prevent land from being concentrated in the hands of a few people. "Once the land is concentrated in the hands of a few people, the tax sources will be exhausted, and the world's manpower and food will be concentrated in the hands of a few people. This is not conducive to the stability of the country and is also detrimental to the stability of the country. It is not conducive to the prosperity of the country.”

“So, we need a large enough number of common people to own their own fields. In this way, these common people can obtain wealth through hard work, and then use it to pay taxes. They can also use the remaining income after paying taxes and daily expenses to trade and buy industries. Goods have led to the prosperity of urban industry, which in turn has enabled more people who do not have land to make a living through industry. "

"You must know that although China has a vast land and abundant resources, it is indeed dominated by unarable mountains and a small proportion of arable fields. However, our farming technology is mature and medical science is advanced. Therefore, once the world is at peace, it is easy for the population to surge to When there is overpopulation, there will inevitably be insufficient land distribution, and a large number of people will have no land to cultivate, and they will have to work in factories to make a living. "

"Isn't it already the case that many people have no land?"

"Therefore, annexation must be suppressed and land concentrated in the hands of a few people. We hope you will think so too and will not be so short-sighted that you only want to make yourself more fields and land, without thinking about the common people of the country."

After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he looked at Guo Tianxu and others.

Zhang Cheng also continued: "In addition, once the fields are concentrated in the hands of a few people, then these few people will be equivalent to concentrating most of the world's wealth. What will they do after they occupy most of the world's land?"

"First of all, they are definitely more extravagant!"

"They will only use a large number of luxury crafts that require tedious skills and expensive costs, instead of using cheap industrial products!"

"This will prevent factories from appearing on a large scale, leaving a large number of people without land and no work to do, and they will have to work as slaves."

"But the big landowners are a minority after all, and the number of slaves they can use is limited."

"Even if the son-in-law of a big landowner wants a maid to sleep with him, he can only raise more than 300 maids three hundred and sixty days a year. He cannot raise 330,000 maids. This will result in 3,300 maids. The daughters of millions of people can only starve to death because their parents have no land and no work.”

"Secondly, they will weaken the entire nation!"

"Because once the land is concentrated in the hands of a few people, then these few people will definitely be the most powerful and powerful. Once these people can live a comfortable life by collecting rent, do you think they will still be aggressive? Will the people of the world be allowed to be wise and enterprising?"

"They will only find ways to fool the people, and then make the people in the world be content with farming for them or content with mourning and starving. In this way, the nation will be very weak as a whole and will be easily wiped out by a foreign regime. !”

"Therefore, no matter how you look at it, land annexation must be stopped!"

"The land must belong to the entire country and can only be used by the people!"

Zhang Cheng said and waved his hand vigorously.

As he explained this, the hope of restraining the merger became a strong desire in his heart.

"Then put an end to land annexation and establish a rule. Anyone who dares to buy or sell land will be f**ked killed!"

Chang Yuchun couldn't help but interject again.

Most of the current rebel generals have only been in rebellion for a year or two. Many of them have not yet had time to buy land, so they do not yet know what it is like to be a big landowner, and they have no awareness of safeguarding the interests of landowners. Most of them are from the bottom, and they are still simple. thoughts of the lower class people.

Therefore, Chang Yuchun would bluntly say that there were rules prohibiting the purchase and sale of land.

After Chang Yuchun finished speaking, he realized that he shouldn't have interrupted, so he sat back angrily. However, he also felt a desire to get rid of his auditor qualifications and advance to the court meeting to participate in the court meeting. I have a longing for it, and I feel that being in the seats of the Imperial Council and deciding world affairs together should be the most satisfying thing, and it should be more interesting than sitting on the sidelines.

However, no one in the court meeting blamed Chang Yuchun.

Shao Rong even took the initiative to agree at this moment: "That's right, why not just divide the fields of those who have the most fields in the world and distribute them to the people, starting with our rebels!"

"To be honest, we have purchased some fields in Wuhe, Jiangbei, and we are willing to share them out, lest our children and grandchildren are as unwilling to make progress as Mr. Zhang said, and then drag down the family and even the entire nation to be ridden by their mother-in-law Tatars. Go! If you want to be rich, you can only rely on your own merits to make money."

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but look at Shao Rong and asked Xiang Zhangcheng: "What does Mr. Zhang think of this?"

"Of course I can't wait to clap my hands and applaud!"

"It is rare that our rebels are so enlightened and willing to give up their own fields for the sake of long-term peace and stability in the world. However, what I want to say is that now we can only encourage those who have land to divide their fields, but we cannot force them."

Zhang Cheng smiled and expressed his opinion.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, sighed, and said with emotion: "Yes, the Qing father-in-law alone will kill all the farmers in the world. He would like to eat our rebels alive and divide the fields. Why don't we really swear allegiance to Hu Yuan?"

"But right now, our rebel army is not strong enough. There are even fewer upright people who can read, write, and deal with military-civilian disputes, and are aware of it! Not to mention dividing the land, we don't even have enough manpower to clear the land, so we can only encourage, We cannot forcefully divide the fields.”
