Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 163 Talking about public spirit? Focus on self-interest!
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard Su Xian's words, he automatically skipped those confusing words, but did not miss any of the most important information points.

According to him, after the Ming Dynasty.

1. All types of physical taxes must be converted into financial taxes!

2. Abolish corvee!
3. Instead of forcing people to transport food, let people go there on their own initiative?

But how is this possible?

Relating to what he said at the beginning, after switching to finance and taxation, do you still want to make a big fuss over wealthy households?

“The ancients said: Take advantage of the situation and act according to the trend.”

At this time.

Li Xiyan was so angry that she couldn't say a word, and her face turned red with anger.

It was Liu Sanwu who spoke.

"But for the people all over the world, they can only look down and see the running water, and they can only use this small amount of running water to irrigate their land. No matter how beautiful the snow on the top of the mountain is, it does not belong to them."

What a high-level position, speaking out a series of specious and public-minded justice.

Of course, maybe they said it subconsciously, and it was indeed their own inner words. Even if the conditions are right, they will practice what they preach.

However, Su Xian looked at Liu Sanwu.

Su Xian said helplessly:
"Gentlemen may have such a high level of consciousness, but the common people are all common people. I believe that 99% of the people in this world, including me... are all ordinary people, but they do not have such a high level of consciousness."

"The ancient sages taught the world what they say: public heart, justice, great righteousness, and great benefits. Everything they do is for the public good. When the Ming Dynasty governs the people, it also requires the people to respect justice!"

The emperor's heart is hard to shake, even if it is what Su Xian just said, no matter how great the prospects and future are.

"Gentlemen, when you stand too high, you can go from high to low when doing knowledge, just like the snow on the top of the mountain, turning into water, flowing down the foot of the mountain, and nourishing the land."

The deviation is too big!
"The sages have taught you to walk steadily step by step, so that you can travel thousands of miles and study as far as the ocean!"

"Instead of talking loudly, standing on a high place and shouting that the people should work for the public, don't you think this is a dream?"

Su Xian looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Have you ever thought about it, if by that time, everyone attaches great importance to profit, wouldn't it mean that the world will collapse? There will no longer be people who will not bend their backs for five buckets of rice, and there will no longer be loyal and righteous people. Morality will not exist. Where can I find peace?"

His voice is gentle and his face is kind, not as tough as Li Xiyan, but he is really explaining: "This benefit can be interpreted as a favorable direction, which is to be good to the people and the great benefit that the people aspire to."

But Su Xian believed it.

"What I, the Ming Dynasty, have to do now is to let the small stream that can feed the people appear in this world first, and take this first step!"

But, just be vigilant.

Having said this.

"With people's hearts becoming more favorable, I am afraid that the Ming Dynasty, Zuo, will also be shaken!"

Su Xian looked at Zhu Yuanzhang again. For Su Xian, it was all said and done today.

"This is how you understand the words of the sages?" Li Xiyan was extremely angry. He had discovered a long time ago that Su Xian had a wrong understanding of many of the words of the sages.

"But what you just said was based on petty gains."

The final decision still lies in the hands of the emperor.

Liu Sanwu didn't know what he was thinking of, he shook his head and sighed:

"The teacher said what the sages said, and I can also say what the sages said."

"Gentlemen, if there is no small profit, how can you get big profit?"

Coupled with some quotations from sages, it seems that he is a man of pure character who serves the country and the people.

However, these words made Li Xiyan and other scholars stunned.

"In the same way, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. This sentence is not about imposing responsibilities on others, but a description that will appear naturally after the strength reaches a certain level."

He suddenly discovered one thing, that is, these scholars often like to talk from high places.

"Even His Majesty himself, I am afraid that when he is hungry, the first thing he thinks of is to fill his stomach."

just.

"In contrast, the smaller the ability, the smaller the responsibility. Put yourself first before caring about others. It makes no sense that you have to share the worries of the people if you don't have enough to eat."

Liu Sanwu's words also made Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly vigilant.

To him, anything without implementation is ultimately just empty talk.

Liu Sanwu seemed to be deep in thought and closed his eyes again.

"And according to what you said, everyone in the world attaches great importance to profit. This is profit, but private gain."

What Su Xian said was from the bottom of his heart and the truth.

"I didn't ask you to promise petty profits to the people! And you said you were just making slow progress!"

Although there were few such people, Su Xian felt that for these few in front of him, they should be speaking from their hearts.

"The sages also said that if you don't accumulate small streams, you won't be able to become a river or a sea; if you don't accumulate small steps, you won't be able to reach a thousand miles!"

Speaking of it.

The seeds have been planted in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. As for when they will take root and sprout...

Why don't you urge me again.

"Your Majesty himself knows that when he was hungry, the first thing that came to his mind was to fill his stomach first."

"Did His Majesty, who was hungry at that time, really think about raising an army to rebel against the Yuan Dynasty and establish a new country? Isn't it because of the strong strength, strong soldiers and horses, attracting talented, moral, and military-ready people to come to join him one after another, and then he gradually gained the power to compete for the world? ?”

"If you judge others by yourself, so will the people!"

As soon as these words came out.

As if sprouting from Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Su Xian.

"What I just said has already been said."

"The People's Liberation and the People's Liberation means His Majesty gave a lot of power to the localities, and the Government's Administration and the People's Liberation means His Majesty takes back these powers again!"

To say that Su Xian said so much before only made Zhu Yuanzhang hesitate.

So this sentence was simply the fatal key, which immediately made Zhu Yuanzhang shaken.

He lit up his eyes, "Take back your power?"

"That's right!"

Su Xian nodded and said: "It's not just about taking back power, it's also about making people's hearts return!"

"Your Majesty, think about it, if we were forced to do labor for the poor people by the government, would we be willing and impatient, or would we be worried and even curse behind our backs?"

"Same situation, we are still transporting these grains. Today, a wealthy businessman with a lot of money came and shouted to deliver grains. Not only the travel expenses are all covered, but also the annual salary?"

"Understand the difference between the two..."

“Perhaps this is the real [people’s will]!”

Having said this.

Su Xian seemed to have really finished speaking and stopped talking about it.

But the last words made everyone here fall into deep thought.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a long time, then suddenly closed his eyes, his fingers lightly clasping the armrests from time to time, and the three words he shouted from time to time were heard clearly by Queen Ma on the side.

"Take back the power!"

Empress Ma sighed slowly. She had been married for a long time, and she knew very well what the Ming emperor valued most.

I'm afraid...if nothing unexpected happens, he has already made up his mind.

"After the Kongyin case, I thought the evaluation given by His Majesty was too high. But now it seems...it is indeed well-deserved!"

At this moment, next to Crown Princess Chang, Princess Yan Xu Miaoyun thought for a long time and couldn't help but be surprised.

"What this guy said today about the official ending and the explanation of the official, the whipping method, and even the saying that people want to benefit, are simply thought-provoking."

"It seems like high-minded talk, but it doesn't leave out the human heart. Instead, we really think about it from the perspective of the people of the world... and after thinking deeply, it is indeed feasible!"

"Perhaps, starting from the self-interest of the people, everyone's self-interest is also the great benefit, this is the great public!"

Xu Miaoyun sighed deeply.

In her opinion, this would be more true if it were said by some far-sighted, wise and reasonable elders of the current dynasty, but from his mouth...

She could only sigh: "Da Qin once had Gan Luo, and our Ming Dynasty may also have young Gan Luo."

However, just after she finished speaking.

However, Princess Chongning interrupted at the right time, "What is Gan Luo Ku Luo? Didn't Mr. Li just say it, he was also doing it for his own benefit. It's a pity that we have been talking for so long. What's the use of talking about Bao Chao so powerfully?"

"Did his father give away the printing plates? Is this more than just corruption? The better he said it, the more furious he would be." "Alas! This is just shooting myself in the foot."

"With such a good talent, if what we talked about today spreads out, how much profit will it bring? Sister-in-law, and Miaoyun, it's not that I talk too much, I am also very smart and can think a lot. Now all the officials are listening Will he take the opportunity to attack later?"

As soon as these words came out.

In an instant, the atmosphere on their side became solemn again.

That's true.

This time they came here just to see how far this Gewuyuan had developed.

Now everyone can see that the joke between the emperor and the grandson also made them laugh, and what Su Xian said is enough to make people think deeply.

Then the problem comes back again.

This is Su Xian's last visit to the main hall.

"Alas! What a pity. Regardless of whether it is Ganluo Kuluo or not, it now depends on whether the father wants to save this young man Ganluo."

Princess Chongning finished speaking.

really.

Chang Jing sighed helplessly. She really didn't want to see the child who saved her life get implicated because of her father. It would be an unreasonable disaster.

"Father should be able to figure it out, right?"

She murmured, then looked at Xu Miaoyun, "Miaoyun, what can you do? If I ask the prince to beg his father, can he spare their lives?"

"You don't want to return to your original position, just stay in the capital quietly?"

talking.

Chang Jing was suddenly extremely angry, "How could this child be so greedy for such a careless father!"

When Xu Miaoyun heard this, she nodded in acquiescence.

But no matter how much she thought, she couldn't think of a solution.

"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid it's impossible. This matter involves too much. If it touches Minglu even slightly, how can it be reconciled?"

"But this is a matter of throwing away the printing plate. How can the officials of the dynasty tolerate this? Even if my father has the intention, I'm afraid... I'm afraid he won't go against the officials of the dynasty, not to mention that the emperor himself is very angry!"

"If the charges are proven, it's not that the printing plate was thrown away, but that he really colluded with the outside world and let himself go out for profit..." After saying that, Xu Miaoyun stopped talking.

Because if you can get away with it, then the Ming Law will be in vain.

"I have an idea."

However, at this moment, Princess Chongning's eyes moved.

Chang Jing and Xu Miaoyun looked at each other. She was careless and simple-minded. Before she got married, she just wanted to find a good future for her husband's family.

What can she do?

"If the elder sister-in-law and the fourth sister-in-law don't believe it, then I won't say anything. But I told you in advance that my method is really effective. Not to mention Su Guiyuan, in short, I can guarantee that nothing will happen to Su Xian. Not only that. … In the future, we can still talk about state affairs in our Ming Dynasty, just like today.”

"Maybe when you grow up, you will really be a good assistant."

Princess Chongning said for sure, and Chang Jing looked at her.

"But you have to promise me one thing." After saying that, without waiting for them to refuse, she said bluntly: "I will beg my father later, and you guys will also say a few good words for me later. In short, Chao Jingyuan It’s better to stay at home than stay outside!”

Chang Jing said helplessly: "We have said before that we should not interfere in politics. If you want to add fuel to the emperor's anger and scold you, just go ahead and say it. Anyway, we will watch you get scolded from behind."

"Okay! Just your words will do."

Chongning smiled and nodded, then with cool eyebrows, he looked behind him and said with a smile: "This method is very simple. The country has its laws, but the heavenly family also has the grace and glory of the heavenly family!"

"When we commit crimes, they are not under the control of the country and the court, but under the control of the clan."

"What do you mean..." Having said this, Xu Miaoyun and Chang Jing immediately reacted.

"Recruit Su Xian as your consort?"

"No! He's too young!" Among the people, Princess Ningguo said subconsciously:
"Hey, a baby is a kiss after all. If you become a consort, you will be favored by the Heavenly Family!" Chongning came up with a crooked idea, "Anyway, I have been thinking about it for a long time, and this is the only way to keep him in the capital."

"Otherwise... humph, just wait to be implicated by his father. This is the solution I came up with after hard thinking. You can figure it out."

"Besides, our Ming Dynasty is not the Song Dynasty, and the prince-in-law can still be a very popular minister, and he is still highly used by his father!"

After saying it again, he raised his head and his eyes stopped at Zhu Yuanzhang.

After waiting for the latter to come to his senses, she was ready to take action immediately.

……

And at this moment...

Sure enough, Su Xian's side gradually became quiet.

Li Xiyan, Liu Sanwu and others have obviously realized this.

When the topic reaches the end, everything here should also end.

Tomorrow, the sun will continue to rise, and the door to Guozixue will still be open.

but……

Su Xian, who talked so eloquently today, will never come again.

Thinking like this, they can only look forward to the words that shocked their hearts just now...

Because of the leakage of treasure banknote printing plates, it would be best for the Holy One to be slower in making decisions, or even have a rebellious mentality!
Thinking like this, they also looked at Su Xian.

Their eyes have not changed. He is indeed a talented man in the rough. If he is polished well, he will surely make Confucianism prosper in the future and good ministers will appear again in the Ming Dynasty through imperial examination selection.

However... they have different paths and cannot work together!
but!

It's still too young, and you can reshape it at a young age.

"Real gold can be tempered again with fierce fire. There is no reason why a child can't do it!" Li Xiyan murmured to herself, "It's just that in the future, if you are not in the main hall or even in the capital, even if you are exiled, you can still treat it as a childhood experience."

"That is... Your Majesty must not kill him in anger!"

Although he had many disagreements with Su Xian, he really didn't want to see him suffer "unjust injustice" like this!
While thinking this.

suddenly!

Eunuch Wang He hurried over and came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, looking a little anxious.

"What's the matter?"

Zhu Yuanzhang had obviously seen it too, and frowned at this moment.

"Return to Your Majesty! The Prime Minister personally ordered that the three divisions should interrogate!"

"Right now, Su Guiyuan is being interrogated in the Dali Temple courtroom!"

Ok?
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised by this, he didn't seem surprised.

He shifted his gaze and looked at Su Xian.

Su Xian's expression changed. Hu Weiyong's movements were faster than expected!
And this moment.

Everyone had been waiting for a long time and all looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

After all, as we all know, the Holy One should give orders at this time.

really!

His Majesty seemed to have already made up his mind. He looked at Su Xian and his tone became serious.

It seems to correspond to the interrogation of Su Guiyuan by the Third Division.

"Your father has committed a serious crime and will be interrogated by three judges!"

"During this period, the whole country was furious!"

"From tomorrow... you don't need to come to the main hall!"

In an instant, although everyone had been prepared before.

But when the words rang in his ears, Li Xiyan, who had just argued with Su Xian, sighed deeply. The regret in his sigh could be felt dozens of meters away.

A flash of helplessness flashed in Queen Ma's eyes, but she was unexpectedly sober.

"Look, look!" Chongning whispered.

Chang Jing was a little anxious and quickly looked at Zhu Biao, expecting what the latter would say.

But the latter remained the same as usual, but his eyes were slightly weird.

And at this moment, as everyone expected, Su Xian is still...

Expelled from the main hall!
