Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 13 The second brother Yumu’s head is enlightened
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was next door, nodded frequently when he heard Zhu Ping's words.

Unexpectedly, this stupid boy like me, Yu Mu’s head has really enlightened.

He actually thought about his father. It seems that his time in prison was not in vain!

I remember that studying in the Imperial Palace Hall was full of trouble.

He thinks about fighting and killing every day. When did he think about his father's problems like he does now?

Although Zhu Ping's words have not yet touched on the essence of the problem.

But the words are heart-warming.

Especially the last sentence, 'The emperor is also riding a tiger and is unable to make a decision! '

Zhu Yuanzhang even suspected that these words did not come from Zhu Cang's mouth.

This gentleness seemed to come from the mouth of a prince who was well-read in poetry.

Could it be that last night, the prince rushed to the prison overnight to teach him these words.

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his attention to Prince Zhu Biao who was recording.

Exactly at this time.

Zhu Biao also stopped the pen in his hand and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang.

The eyes of the two met in the air.

All with surprise.

Immediately, Zhu Biao understood the meaning of his father's eyes and said quickly:
"Father, these words are really not taught by my son."

"I didn't expect that my second brother would meet Kuang...Mr. Lin in prison, your speaking skills have improved!"

Seeing the joy on Zhu Biao's face, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head slightly:
"Although we are pleased that the speech has made some progress, it still did not get to the essence of the problem."

"You have to wait and see what he says next to know if he has really made progress."

Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not directly praise him, there was still a hint of expectation in his words.

How could Prince Zhu Biao, who has been following Lao Zhu all year round, not hear it?

Taking advantage of his interest, Zhu Biao said:
"Father, you should have confidence in your second brother!"

"My second brother follows Mr. Lin every day and is influenced by what he hears and sees. I dare not say that he has changed his mind, but at least he has achieved something."

Zhu Biao's title to Lin Che has also been changed from Kuang Sheng to Sir.

Unlike Zhu Yuanzhang, he did not read many books, and most of the culture he learned was obtained from war practice.

At the same time, this also has something to do with Lao Zhu's rough and arrogant character.

Lao Zhu is such a person. Even if he loses, he will never admit defeat.

This has been even more true since becoming emperor.

Zhu Biao studied Confucian classics from Song Lian, a great scholar of the time, and was familiar with the books of sages.

Ming history evaluation: Prince Piao was kind and generous, loving, and well versed in classics.

Therefore, my impression of Lin Che, who spoke every word from the bottom of my heart, was greatly changed.

His title was also changed to "Sir".

"Is it?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked suspicious.

He still didn't believe what Zhu Xi said, and no one taught him.

He didn't believe that the second child's elm head could be broken off in half a month by following this mad man?

Unless this crazy life is really a banished immortal coming to the world, it is absolutely impossible.

……

Opposite the wall.

Lin Che grabbed a big fat pig's trotter and said vaguely while chewing:
"Well, that's good. I know how to consider the overall situation."

"Then tell me what the current emperor should do in the best way?"

Zhu Cang poured himself a drink and said roughly:

"I think the first step for the current emperor is to immediately issue an order to stop the prevailing trend of land annexation." "The second step is to first use some typical examples, and then nationalize the fertile land seized by officials and gentry."

“The third step is to find out the origin of the reclaimed fertile land and return it to farmers.”

Lin Che gnawed on the pig's trotters and asked, "That's it?"

Seeing Lin Che just chewing pig trotters, Zhu Xi rubbed her hands nervously and asked guiltily:
"Sir, am I wrong in what I said?"

"No, you're right, basically everything is in the score."

"what!"

Zhu Xi looked at Lin Che in disbelief.

What he said was finally recognized by this person.

It's not easy!

Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, who were next door, almost bit their tongues when they heard Zhu Xi's words.

Zhu Xi almost said what Zhu Biao said last night intact.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Zhu Biao in disbelief.

Are you still saying you didn’t teach him?

Why did the words you told us last night appear in this bastard's mouth again?

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang innocently: Dad, I really didn’t teach you these words, and I don’t know how he restored what we said!

Seeing that Zhu Xi was doubting herself, Lin Che smiled and said:

"It's not easy. I finally started to use my brain to think about the problem. It seems that your old man made the right decision by asking you to go to prison to reflect."

"Tell me, how did you come up with it? You couldn't be fooled, right?"

"No, I'm not fooling myself. I really came up with it myself."

Zhu Xi quickly stood up and firmly denied it, then filled Lin Che's empty glass with wine.

With a smile all over his face, he said:
"...Last night, you gave me homework. I couldn't sleep at night, so I just lay there and thought about it."

"Since this policy was personally formulated by the current emperor and involves tens of thousands of officials from all over the imperial court, it is indeed inappropriate to abolish it immediately without any concern."

"Not to mention the emperor's loss of face, these ministers below will definitely try their best to stop it."

"Although the emperor is said to be powerful and prestigious throughout the world, it is not impossible to abolish it if he really decides to do so, but then he will become alone."

“It’s definitely not worth the gain.”

"So, I was thinking whether I should start with some typical cases to scare the monkeys."

"Then we will gradually implement it until the public land policy is finally abolished."

"In this way, we can do it step by step without offending officials and gentry all over the world, and at the same time, we can gradually implement the new policy."

"Sir, do you think this is the right way for me to think?"

"That's right, that's right. If you know how to think about the problem step by step, the guidance I have given you these days will be worth it."

Lin Che patted her hands and praised.

Zhu Xi scratched his head in embarrassment and said with a smile:
"Thank you for the compliment, sir. It's all for your good teaching!"

"However, just understanding this is not enough!"

Lin Che drank the wine in the glass and said calmly:
"Abolition of the buying and selling of good land by officials, taking back the buying and selling of good land, and returning it to the farmers are just the symptoms."

“To completely eradicate the problem, we need to carry out thorough land reform and reform the tax system.”

"[-]. Re-measure the land across the country and conduct a thorough census of household registration."

“Bringing hidden lands and people to the surface.”

"Make sure that no one is left behind, and no one is left behind."

Looking at Zhu Ming's blank gaze, Lin Che took a bite of the vegetable and chewed it slowly.

Finally, he took a sip of wine, swallowed the food, and then said slowly:
"[-]. The public land owned by officials and gentry can be retained, but the policy of "'dividing the land into acres' and 'the officials and gentry all work as errands and pay the grain as one body'" must be implemented."
