Daming: Me!The auspicious beast unicorn of the old Zhu family

Chapter 56 Rule the world with filial piety!Yizi in Yangzhou City cannibalize each other!

Zhu Yuanzhang, who cares about the common people.

I came to the 'refugee center' in Yangzhou City in person.

Here, there are only [-] households of old, weak, sick and disabled people still staying here.

On the one hand, they were unable to leave their homeland, and on the other hand, their bodies did not support them to leave, so they could only silently endure Zhang Shicheng's continuous oppression.

fortunately.

After the Ming army defeated Zhang Shicheng.

Those heavy exorbitant taxes have been cancelled, or else none of them would survive.

in the crowd.

Everyone surrounded an old man dressed like a beggar, who had already fainted from hunger.

An anxious look was on his face, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Comrade Zhu stepped forward with big strides, and said, "Why are you just staring blankly, why don't you feed this old man some steamed buns and water."

Hear His Majesty's order.

The surrounding soldiers naturally did not dare to neglect.

A Ming elite cavalry took off the water bottle on his waist, and took out his dry rations and steamed buns.

He mixed it with water and fed it to the old man, which made him barely regain his strength. He half propped up his body weakly, and it seemed quite difficult to salute and thank the savior.

"Old man, thank you here."

"Hey, hey! Old man, you don't have to do such a great gift."

In this regard.

The Ming elite cavalry quickly stopped the old man.

He can't afford such a big gift.

In the history of China, from the Han Dynasty, except the Yuan Dynasty, to the current Ming Dynasty, they all advertised filial piety to rule the world, mainly because "filial piety" is one of the most basic and core virtues of "benevolent government".

If all the people are very filial and listen to their parents.

The social situation formed will definitely be peaceful.

And Zhu Yuanzhang, who lost his parents since childhood.

He has not forgotten the kindness of his parents. If it wasn't for his parents who raised him up to the age of thirteen or fourteen, how could he possibly be where he is today?

and so.

After ascending the throne as emperor.

He also formulated a series of measures related to filial piety——

The first is the elderly system.

In the original social system, if a person's age exceeds 60 years old, he is considered to have entered the "last years", exhausted, and unproductive. They are often considered a burden on society.

Zhu Yuanzhang did the opposite, appointing "senior people" and letting them take advantage of the "elderly".

"Seniors" refers to people over 60 years old.

The group of "senior people" who are familiar with local customs can help local administrators better solve many problems of localization. In terms of clothing, Zhu Yuanzhang made the "senior people" and other Confucian scholars who had read poetry and books enjoy the same standards.

Zhu Yuanzhang also rewarded horses to "Qimin".

It is used to solve their problems such as walking inconvenience.

In ancient times, clothing standards and travel tools represented their social class and status, which shows the importance and determination of the imperial court.

In addition, Zhu Yuanzhang's court also set up a special session to promote the content.

The main content is to honor parents. Every time it is farming time, drums are played to remind villagers about the planting and harvesting of crops. The elderly are responsible for supervision and cannot be neglected.

The establishment of the system for the elderly.

Let the civil litigation cases not only decrease, but also reduce the pressure on the local government.

It also took this opportunity to promote the implementation of filial piety in society, which played a role in fueling the stability and orderly development of society.

Second, there is pension policy.

The physical strength of the elderly declines and they are prone to various diseases.

In order to let the elderly in the family be taken care of and take care of them with peace of mind, as long as the parents are over 70 years old, the imperial court can allow a child to be taken care of at home and exempt from various taxes.

For the elderly without children.

It is to exempt them from taxes and fundamentally reduce their burden.

If they are widowed or lonely old people, special institutions will even be set up to solve their old age problems.

If the local government fails to implement the terms formulated by the imperial court, it will be severely punished.

Finally, it is to commend filial piety.

Zhu Yuanzhang will commend and recognize those who are loyal and filial, set up plaques for them, and give them corresponding rewards.

conveyed to the place.

That is to be carried out by local officials.

However, due to the lack of corresponding regulatory measures, it ended up being self-defeating.

Comrade Zhu squatted down.

An easy-going look.

Facing the arrogant soldiers in the army, he had to maintain a stern look so that he could deter them.

but.

If it is facing the people of the Ming Empire.

He never put on airs, because he was born as an ordinary citizen, and climbed up step by step with his own efforts. Regarding the people's sentiments in Yangzhou City, Comrade Zhu also planned to take this opportunity to inquire carefully.

"Old man, let's ask about your living conditions here."

"Living situation?"

"Yes, it's just that the parents are short-sighted on weekdays. We want to know, how long has it been since you ate meat, old man?"

"Meat? I haven't eaten that kind of thing for more than ten years. In today's world, it is difficult to eat a full stomach, and it is even more difficult to eat meat. I heard that in the past few months The world has a new master, and I don't know if life will be easier."

"Yes, of course, everyone will be able to eat meat by then."

After listening to the old man's words.

Comrade Zhu patted him on the shoulder with a firm tone.

Although my goal is to make everyone in the world have enough to eat, but that is only the most basic. If you want everyone to live a good life, not to mention eating meat every now and then, at least it will take a year and a half Shall we eat it once?

It can't really let the common people not taste the taste of meat once in more than ten years, how many more than ten years are there in life?

of course.

want to achieve this condition.

In this day and age, it takes a lot of effort.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was talking with the old man, the eight-year-old girl standing beside her, with a dirty face and a rather thin look, said innocently: "Grandpa, didn't we just get married half a month ago?" Have you ever eaten meat?"

children's words.

Often the most believable.

They rarely lie, and even if they do lie occasionally, it is easy to see the truth.

Zhu Xing said a little annoyed: "Old man, why did you lie to us, is it okay to tell the truth?"

The old man burst into tears and told the truth: "I have eaten meat, but it was not pork, mutton, or beef, but human flesh. Because of the famine, my grandson was starved to death. In order not to let the only His granddaughter also starved to death, so he had to eat with his neighbor Yizi."
