Through Yitian: Mingzun Zhang Wuji

Chapter 576: A benevolent master whose words and deeds are consistent
Zhang Wuji looked at Zhao Min in front of him seriously, and then asked: "Minmin, have you ever been hungry?"

These words made Zhao Min stunned.

Zhao Min came back to his senses and said, "What are you thinking! Who am I? How could I have been hungry?"

Xiao Zhao, who was standing aside at this time, replied: "Xiao Zhao has been hungry."

Hearing this, Zhang Wuji and both of them looked at her.

Xiao Zhao said: "When I was very young, my mother put me in the care of my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Since I can remember, my mother would regularly send me some silver coins and teach me martial arts. She was not with me at other times. Around me. I remember that one year there was a horse thief in the Western Region. All the family’s money, cattle, sheep, and camels were robbed. Xiao Zhao went hungry for several days. It was not until my mother came to us again that we got through the difficulty. Hungry The taste is really hard."

Zhang Wuji looked at Xiao Zhao and said, "I didn't expect my little girl Xiao Zhao to have such an experience."

Zhang Wuji stood up at this time, put his hands behind his back and sighed and said: "Yes, the most difficult feeling in the world is 'hungry'. Those of us who come from aristocratic families, rich and powerful, and the children of princes and nobles cannot understand those poor people. of life.”

Zhang Wuji looked at his palms and continued: "Now that they recognize me as their master, I will naturally do something for them. At least I can't repeat the mistakes of the Yuan Dynasty. If all the systems are not changed, then I What is the significance of leading everyone to overthrow the Great Yuan Dynasty?"

Zhang Wuji said with some self-deprecation: "If you don't do anything, don't change anything, and just want your own comfort and wealth, it's better to accept the conditions offered by the prince. I and Dayuan will rule across the river, and we won't have to use weapons rashly." ”

Zhao Min nodded and said: "That's true. But I still have some doubts. After all, it was only because I, Dayuan, promised the interests of these gentry and landlords that they were willing to help us like this. Only then can we secure our position in the Central Plains. of."

Zhang Wuji turned around and came to Zhao Min's side. Then he put his hands on Zhao Min's shoulders and said, "Don't worry, Min Min. Everything in the world depends on the people. Even though most of the people are illiterate, they also have a strong sense in their hearts." , they may not know right from wrong, but they are definitely not stupid.”

"If everyone in the world is well fed and clothed, and there are no thousands of hungry people to follow, those aristocratic families will not be able to make any trouble. After all, no one will let go of their good life and be incited by them to rebel .”

"The two Han Dynasties shared the world with their nobles, the Wei and Jin Dynasties shared the world with the clans, the Sui and Tang Dynasties shared the world with the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes, and the Song Dynasty shared the world with the scholars. But in the Yuan Dynasty, they shared the world with the princes and landlords. In the Ming Dynasty, this The rules should be changed. I want to share the world with the people of the world. Even if one person in this country dies of hunger, it is a dereliction of duty on the part of the king."

Zhao Min listened to Zhang Wuji's words and looked at him blankly.

Of course, Zhao Min was an ancient person from the feudal dynasty.A member of the evil old society.And he is also the biggest vested interest.

Although Zhao Min is smart, she also has her own historical limitations as an ancient.

She couldn't quite understand Zhang Wuji's new trend of modernization.After all, the concept of "everyone is equal" is too "advanced" for her.

After all, in the feudal era, in the eyes of the royal family, there was actually no big difference between nobles and commoners. They were all "slaves" of the emperor.

If you think this title is not nice, then change it to a nicer one, such as "subject" or "subject".

Noble officials are just higher-level "slaves", tools used by the emperor to manage the "slaves" at the bottom, and the "slaves" at the bottom are here to provide value to the emperor.

In the eyes of the imperial family, they are as humble as grass, and they are called "grass people".

Zhao Min was born into a royal family, although she was taught by Han teacher Liu Bowen, who allowed her to understand right and wrong and even develop a chivalrous heart.However, she has been influenced by her family environment since she was a child, and her bones are still filled with the arrogance of the royal ruling class.

In her eyes, the so-called "love for the people" is just a "slogan" that the emperor shouts every day.The purpose of benevolent government is simply that excessive oppression will make the "slaves" rebel.

Like now.It was precisely because the Yuan Dynasty's expropriation and extortion went too far that these people rose up against the Yuan Dynasty.

Zhao Min had previously thought that Zhang Wuji was the same type of person as them.Although there will be some differences in ideas, etc., they should at least be similar.

As for those words about loving the people, Zhao Min always thought they were just lies that he told casually to woo the beautiful woman in yellow shirt and to deceive Huo Jia into working for him.

Strictly restricting military discipline is just to win people's hearts and let the people help him conquer the world.

But now that everyone is gone, Zhang Wuji still says this, which shows that he sincerely wants to govern the world with the "chivalrous way" of "the world is for the public".I sincerely hope that people all over the world can live well.

Zhao Min was somewhat confused by Zhang Wuji's behavior.But Zhao Min didn't care. As long as Zhang Wuji made a decision, whether it was right or wrong, she would do her best to assist him until he achieved the goal he wanted.

At least Zhang Wuji's policy can indeed keep many people fed and prevent many people from starving to death.At least it's a good deed.

Zhao Min said at this time: "My brother Wuji is truly a bodhisattva. Well, now that you have decided, I won't say anything more. After all, you are the true dragon emperor who keeps his word. Change orders day by day, yes. Hard to convince the public.

Zhao Min frowned slightly at this time and said seriously: "But the problem we have to face now is the problem of money. At present, the entire treasury, including the treasury and your internal funds, totals more than 30 taels of silver. .Although the batch of grain brought by Sister Su can solve the problem of grain and grass for our Northern Expedition."

"But how to solve the problem of military pay is a big problem. Soldiers are going to work hard. If they are not paid for a long time, they are likely to mutiny or even directly rob the people."

"My Dayuan army has always had the habit of 'grabbing grass and grain'. Their money and food is not a problem, because as long as they capture the towns, they can 'supply on the spot' at any time. But we have strict military orders and our soldiers cannot do this. So Brother Wuji, you have to think about it now, how to solve the military pay for the Northern Expedition? After all, the Northern Expedition cannot be ended in a day or two. And the city cannot be captured in a day or two."

After Zhang Wuji heard this, he thought deeply and said, "This is a big problem. But I can't just rob it. Otherwise, I'll ask someone to borrow it!"

"Borrow it?" Zhao Min murmured, "Then who can you borrow it from? Sister Su? This is a good idea."

Zhang Wuji originally wanted to issue "bonds", but when he heard Zhao Min mention this God of Wealth, Zhang Wuji wanted to try his luck with her.

After all, Su Mengqing is a "treasure" who can always create "miracles" at unexpected times.

Their Su family is known as the richest man in Suzhou, even if they can't get any money from her, at least they can get a list of "local tyrants and evil gentry".

Now Zhang Wuji just laments that the most profitable tea in this era, the origin of sea salt, is not in his territory at the moment.Otherwise he wouldn't have to worry about this little thing.If that doesn't work, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhang Shicheng should be killed before the Northern Expedition.

After all, more than 30 taels of silver may not be enough to beat them, but it should be enough to deal with them.
