Daming: Father, I am no longer a teacher

Chapter 79

Liu Ji made an impassioned speech, and did not show any mercy because of Li Shanchang's ugly face.

Zhu Yuanzhang kept silent, watching the fire from the other side.

As Liu Ji explained his point of view, his point of view gradually became clear. Even if Li Shanchang was angry, he had to admit defeat in front of Liu Ji.

Zhang ZhengFing and Zhu Biao, two people who are not as good as they are, also suddenly realized.

What kind of world did Zhu Yuanzhang and his courtiers face?

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the world has experienced many years of wars. The imperial court and various warlords have fought for a long time, and the hearts of the people in this world have been broken.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was born, he unified the south.

However, it has been less than a year since the establishment of this imperial court.

Whether ordinary people can know the names of today's sons is unknown, and many remote places may not even hear about the change of dynasty.

If the emperor followed Li Shanchang's suggestion and directly implemented the vaccination law by government decree, the first question would be, do the common people believe in the imperial court? Why should they trust the imperial court?
The essence of vaccination method is to fight poison with poison,
Even Liu Ji and Li Shanchang seem to be shocked by this method. How can the people believe it?

You know, after years of war, the government's trust among the people has long since evaporated, just like Zhu Yuanzhang grew up all the way and regarded officials as enemies.

Even if most people are not so extreme, how much trust does Daming have in the hearts of ordinary people?
The world is uncertain, and it is unknown whether the so-called Ming Dynasty is as short-lived as the Red Scarf Army in the eyes of the people. It is difficult to implement administrative orders at this time.

Not to mention such a shocking method.

People's hearts are not won, government orders are difficult to implement, this is one of them.

However, Li Shanchang proposed to include this matter in the official assessment. This is what Liu Ji satirized Li Shanchang.

His intentions may be good, but if the people don't trust them and don't cooperate with the local officials, the officials will most likely force it, because it affects their own future. According to the rules of the previous dynasty, the people are the group most likely to be sacrificed. .

How to assess, it is nothing more than the more people who are vaccinated, the better!
For the sake of political achievements, local officials have to use the simpler but more dangerous "time vaccine" as the main method of vaccination.

Except for Zhu Biao, everyone present is an old man who has experienced it. They understand that this incident will definitely happen.

Then, the consequences of doing so are likely to arouse public resentment and even rebellion.

So what's the point of Zhu Yuanzhang's implementation of the vaccination method?
Li Shanchang is not mediocre, he just didn't pay too much attention to this matter, and Liu Ji scratched his feet for a while. After thinking about it, he understood that what Liu Ji said made sense, and he couldn't refute it.

It's just the positions of the two sides that prevent him from losing:

"Then figure it out slowly, without an assessment, we don't want to fight for this moment. If you figure it out slowly, the people will naturally understand the court's painstaking efforts after being educated!"

After Li Shanchang said this, he found that Liu Ji just looked at him and sneered.

He instantly understood, what is the crux of this matter?
Slowly figure it out, educate the people, this is indeed the safest and most domineering way, but if it's just like this, why does the emperor want them to come here?

Zhu Yuanzhang promoted this matter so solemnly. In fact, to put it bluntly, the emperor wanted to get the credit for promoting vaccines. This is his important historical achievement as an emperor.

And to do this, at least in the initial stage of promotion, he needs to see more obvious results!
"You two don't just remember to pour cold water on me, Liu Ji, since you say no, then tell me how to do it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang kept watching coldly, and waited until the two had finished speaking before expressing their opinions.

When he said this, Liu Ji himself was in trouble, how could he handle this matter beautifully?

It's actually very difficult!

The most difficult thing here is how to educate the people and resolve the people's distrust of the imperial court. It is actually not difficult to implement it at the local level.

At this moment, his gaze flicked over a person, and Liu Ji was shocked.

He quickly set his sights on Zhang Normal.

Almost at the same time, Li Shanchang also set his eyes on Zhang Normal.

They finally get it!
The emperor can also see the problems they see, and Zhang normal is probably the best solution to this matter.

The Mongols gave Longhushan 80 years of wealth, and the prestige of Longhushan among the common people may be even greater than that of today's emperors.

Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang looked down on Zhang Normal from the perspective of Confucian scholars, but they could not deny his status.

The issue of popular support and trust may not be a problem if it is placed on Zhengyi...

Liu Ji turned to Zhu Yuanzhang, but saw that Zhu Yuanzhang was smiling but not smiling.

"Now, what else do you have to say?"

"Your Majesty thinks farther than a humble minister, and a humble minister is not as good as..."

Liu Ji sighed. Although he was not convinced, he did not think as far as the emperor on this matter.

Probably when Zhu Yuanzhang never hesitated to give Zhang normal privileges, he had already thought about how to use this real Zhang.

"The most difficult thing to promote the vaccination method is to educate the common people. In the name of Longhushan, the process can be shortened by borrowing the influence of immortal gods. I plan to focus on the government's promotion, and the Taoist priests of Longhushan will appease people's hearts...

Moreover, this matter should not be carried forward directly, people's hearts are contemptible, if I beg the people to vaccinate the pox, the people may not cherish it, it is better to let them see the effect directly...

Li Shanchang, are there places where smallpox outbreaks have been reported in the state newspapers? "

Li Shanchang didn't even think about it, and replied:
"There is no major plague, but a small-scale epidemic has never stopped..."

Li Shanchang knew almost everything about the government affairs of Ming Dynasty. He casually reported several state capitals, and Zhu Yuanzhang kept it in his heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said:
"Zhang is normal!"

"Chen is here!"

"You go to Yangzhou for me, I want you to come back with the results..."

"Yangzhou..."

Zhang Normal was stunned for a moment, then knelt down and took his life.

"If this is done, I will have another use for you!"

Zhang Normal was a little excited. The more the emperor used him, the more likely the expectation in his heart would be fulfilled.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Lao Zhang knelt down again to accept the order.

"I didn't understand some parts of the "Wei Yan Lu". I believe the same is true for Master Li and Master Liu..."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Liu Ji and Li Shanchang, and they smiled awkwardly.

Although I don't think I'm a stupid person, but for a while, that book really makes people look confused.

"Your Majesty can explain it to the Holy Majesty and all the adults, but my son Yuchu has a deeper understanding of this book. If Your Majesty does not dislike it, you can let him explain it!"

Zhang Yuchu has been on the side as the background board, but everyone looked at him, and he was a little nervous.

Just the emperor laughed:

"The sons of the Zhang family are all good. Don't be nervous, kid. Speak well. I will reward you for speaking well!"

His friendly attitude made Liu Ji and Li Shanchang look at each other.

There was also a look of warning in the eyes of the two, but they didn't know that their expressions still fell into the emperor's eyes.

His expression remained unchanged, waiting for Zhang Yuchu to explain the content.
