Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

Chapter 9 I have nowhere to go!

As we all know, officials in Hong Wunian were basically not worried about retirement.

Because 80.00% of people will never live to retire.
However, what Chu Ze said standing in front of Zhu Yuanzhang at this time was not so pleasant to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because he already understood what Chu Ze meant.

He thinks he has given too little!
"What, young man, what do you mean, we give less salary? We make these officials feel uncomfortable?"

"Let me tell you the truth, we just want them to live in a less comfortable life, and let them know how ordinary people live their lives!"

"If the officials live a comfortable life, their mouths are full of oil, what are they thinking? What is the next meal! We want them to understand clearly."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Ze below. He was very blunt and prepared to use his own rhetoric to give Chu Ze a good spur.

However, what he didn't expect was that Chu Ze interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang directly.

Yes, he interrupted the emperor's impassioned speech.

"Your Majesty, let's hear from our hearts that if an official can't even afford to eat! They have the power in their hands, and they can get money as long as they move their hands. Between the two choices of starving to death and taking a risk Between them, what would most people choose?"

"Watching your wife and children starve to death? Watching your children spend the holidays, and you can't even afford new clothes?"

"As a minister, do your best to be loyal! As a father, do what you teach! As a husband, take responsibility! As a son, support yourself!"

"We are all human beings, and our hearts are made of meat. Loyalty to the king and responsibility for multiple functions are indeed what an official should do."

"But while you are an official, you are also a father, a husband, and a child!"

"Don't you just be loyal, don't need to be filial, don't need to fulfill the duties of raising children and taking care of the wife?"

"One side is work, and the other is family! How many people in this world would abandon their wives and children for the sake of work? If your officials are all like this, for work and for their own integrity, People who can even watch their wives and children starve to death on the street, and those who don’t even have a place to bury their parents.”

"Then Your Majesty, do you really dare to use such a cruel and ruthless person?"

"I'm a latecomer, and I can tell you frankly that during the Hongwu period, the corruption of ink was repeatedly banned. You have successively increased the punishment for those who are corrupt. It can be said that it can be described as inhumane."

"However, corrupt officials are still like carp crossing the river. There is an extremely funny record in history: In the same year, 360 officials were sent to the wholesale list. These people were all Jinshi supervisors. One year later, six people were killed. .”

"You may think that only six of the four people died in 360, which means that your torture has shocked people's hearts, right?"

"Actually, the remaining 300 people are all charged with capital punishment and exile."

"It took more than 300 people a year. None of them slipped through the net"

"As for the death penalty and the crime of exile, it is also a feature of Hong Wunian. You should not implement it now. The so-called death penalty and exile are those who have committed the death penalty but have not finished their work. Just bring Shackles and shackles to continue working."

"After the work is done, the beheaded who should come back, the exiled who should be exiled."

"The main reason for these two charges is because you killed too hard. The speed of recruiting officials can't keep up."

"."

After Chu Ze threw out all the words he knew in one breath.

He also looked at the legendary figure in front of him with a speechless face.

To be honest, if he hadn't traveled to Hong Wunian and became an official.

He really wouldn't choose to stand here.

I used to always read novels, watching other people's protagonists move the wind and rain, and enjoy the world after time travel.

As a result, when he came to himself, he was left with such an embarrassing identity that he would die.

"Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness the King of Yan. I know you are all curious, why do I insist on dying."

"The main thing is my current status, he deserves to die! And he will definitely not die a good death."

"Now I have forgotten what Four Books and Five Classics I learned in the past, and I can't even write well. You can see this. It will be a matter of time before I am discovered to be strange, and once I am discovered, I will probably be assigned a The imperial examination begins with the crime of cheating for personal gain, and then beheads."

"If I'm lucky enough not to be discovered, then facing such a low salary, I don't think I'll have a good meal in my life. Even if I meet a true love and want to start a family, I'm a big man, and I can't even support my wife !"

"There is no doubt that corruption of ink is inevitable. Among Hong Wunian's punishments for officials corrupted by ink, the execution of Lingchi alone is considered light."

"And if I suddenly resign now, His Majesty will be suspicious. I am a newly promoted person with a bright future at a young age. If I resign suddenly, I will resign. Your Majesty will definitely become suspicious, and then investigate me."

"But now I don't even know where my former home is, if I check it, I'm still going to die!"

"To put it bluntly, after I crossed over, it was basically a dead end."

"That's why I insist on dying. Because I have nowhere to go."

After Chu Ze finished all the words that were suppressed in his heart in one breath.

At this moment, he actually felt unprecedented relaxation.

Yes, relax.

It was such a relief!

Because he is familiar with history, he knows that after he finished his words, he basically lived to the end.

So before Zhu Yuanzhang launched an attack, Chu Ze looked at Prince Zhu Biao for the last time.

The most powerful prince in history, but also the prince with the most right to speak.

"His Royal Highness, I have basically finished my words, and then I will trouble you."

"To be honest, as a person of later generations, I'm actually very excited to be able to come back, even though I'm just a commoner, and in later generations, I'm just a mediocre person."

"But now that I'm here, I still want to do something."

"Please ask the prince to intercede for me later and give me a good death."

"In return, let me tell you one last thing."

"Your Majesty hates corrupt officials, and there is nothing wrong with that. But limited by the times, the limitations are too strong."

"In terms of officials' salaries, he ignored the officials themselves, which need to support the office management staff of the entire yamen."

"As for the support of the heirs, he ignored the problem that the family will grow rapidly after a few generations."

"Although His Majesty is dedicated to serving the people, history has already given the answer. His Majesty's efforts to eliminate corruption did not make the people's lives much easier."
