Zhu Yuanzhang empathized with this characteristic of the Chinese people.

He himself was once a commoner.

When he was young, if Fengyang's parents and officials could not oppress the people, he would be grateful to them.He felt that he was a fairy descended from the earth, and would even take up arms without hesitation to protect him.

If someone is willing to give him a bag of grain, he will kowtow to this person.

Being oppressed for a long time, the people's requirements are very low.

After being a slave for more than 1000 years, one day the master skipped a whip, and he felt that the master was too kind.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang finally understood,
Why did Jiangzhou undergo such a huge change in just a dozen days.

The Mo family only did what they were supposed to do.

Even because the governance period is too short, many things have not been done properly.

But this is enough for the people of Jiangzhou to be grateful to them and regard them as saints.Be grateful and respectful, and obey unconditionally, the universal love proposed by the Mohists.

Is it difficult for officials to do what they are supposed to do?
It seems very simple, but in the prefectures and counties ruled by Confucianism, it is actually as difficult as climbing to the sky.

In the past, it was basically impossible for local officials to do what they were supposed to do.The feudal aristocrats occupy the place, and the officials sent by the court have to learn how to get along with them and learn the ways of the world all their lives.

I will be their tool for the rest of my life, oppressing the people for them.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang beheaded all the black sheep in Jiangzhou, which is the most important point for the Mohists to do what they are supposed to do, to make the people's lives rich in a short period of time, and to gain the recognition of the people.

In just a dozen days, the Mo family actually had a brilliant strategy.

Nothing works, just follow the rules.

Just let Jiangzhou, change the day and change the day, become a paradise on earth, heaven and earth.

The demands of the common people are really too low. They lived too hard in the past. This is why Emperor Zhu wanted to cry.From the people of Jiangzhou, he saw his former self.

"By the way, who is the magistrate of Jiangzhou?" Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to know who the Mohists would push forward as the magistrate.Is he a major disciple of the Mohist school, or is he helping him?
"Speaking of our lord magistrate, that is really groundbreaking, unique in history..." Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang asked this question, the old man immediately beamed with joy.

"Oh?" Zhu Yuanzhang said,
"You are foreigners. You probably don't know the identity of our prefect in Jiangzhou. You'll be shocked when you say it. You probably wouldn't even dream of it." The old man pretended.

"Really?" Zhu Yuanzhang expressed disbelief.

"The magistrate of our Jiangzhou is a woman! And she is also very beautiful!" The old man said, "How about it, I didn't expect it, are you surprised? Have you two heard that there was a female magistrate in history?"

"It's a bit surprising." Zhu Yuanzhang said.

The Mo family actually promoted a young girl in her twenties to be the magistrate?
This is indeed the first time in the world.

But after thinking for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately understood the many benefits.Female magistrates hang and beat male prefects, at least because they are close to the people.When a beautiful woman is in charge of the house, people immediately lose their hostility towards her.Or the hostility has been reduced to the lowest point.If a man is allowed to be the head of the house, the people will have strong hostility towards him.

The magistrate Zhao who bullied them in the past, and the big villain who bullied them in the past, were all men.

This approach of the Mohists, together with Qin Yu in the Wa Kingdom, introduced a Yamatai queen to rule.In Persia, the launch of a 'Mingjiao Maiden' is exactly the same.

In fact, it is also the case. The Mo family launched Fu Xiao, the head of the female prefect, and the effect is surprisingly good.

The common people are proud that they have a female magistrate.

After all, she was the first.

"This is indeed the first time in the world." Zhu Yuanzhang sighed following the old man's intention.

"To be able to govern Jiangzhou so impressively, our female magistrate must have the talent of Ehuang and female hero!" The old man sighed, "And I also heard that after a while, because of our female magistrate, the queen empress will have to personally Come to Jiangzhou."

"What is she doing in Jiangzhou?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.It is guessed that this should be a rumor in the market, because Queen Ma has been abolished now, but it has not been announced to the world.

"Our female magistrate, Master Fu Xiao, has now become a role model for all women in Jiangzhou." The old man said, "Because of Master Fu Xiao, they have all said boldly, who said that women are inferior to men?"

"The feminist movement in Jiangzhou is booming. The girls are all dancing very well. Can you not disturb the empress? Now the women in Jiangzhou are almost really taking charge of the sky."

"They have started to learn cultural knowledge, learn textile technology, participate in work, and even start business and open textile factories. Their enthusiasm is greater than ever."

"So it is!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

"That's a good thing!"

Fu Xiao, a female magistrate, changed the status and situation of the women in Jiangzhou.

Thinking about the past, because men were superior to women, they had no status.All of them have their feet bound, and they only know how to give birth at home, and their status outside is like a slave.

Now that they suddenly have an opportunity, of course they have to work hard and fight for themselves.

Now that a large number of women are participating in production and construction, Jiangzhou will naturally develop faster.

"Don't you think that when a woman is a magistrate, her ability is destined to be inferior to that of a man?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.In this land, machismo is still a lot.

"Actually, we also thought so at the beginning, thinking that the magistrate might not be able to govern Jiangzhou well." At this time, a drinker next to him interjected, "However, it turns out that we were wrong."

"Master Zhifu governs Jiangzhou no worse than any man."

"Perhaps women are indeed inferior to men in terms of physical strength, but being a magistrate is not a coolie, and you don't need to lift hundreds of catties of stones." Another young drinker said.

"Yeah, being a prefect depends on your brain."

"Master Fu Xiao is a woman, and she has the ability to govern Jiangzhou well. She is now a god in the hearts of the people. It is like Guanyin Bodhisattva, the goddess of heaven."

"Yes, yes." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Now the common people worship and respect their female prefect, which is not a bad thing.

This is called credibility.

When governing a region, the most fearful thing is that the government will lose the trust of the people and dare not speak out.

As for Fu Xiao, the people's trust in the 'government' has reached its peak.

If the Mohist changed a man to be the magistrate, it would never be possible. In such a short period of time, he won the greatest approval and the greatest trust from the people of Jiangzhou.

This is unique in the Ming Dynasty, where the people's trust in the government was generally negative.

The Mohists let women be magistrates, wise!
