Back to Ming Dynasty as Zhu Biao

Chapter 197 The issue of imperial power going to the countryside
The patterns and functions of Daming agricultural machinery were inspired by Zhu Biaominggao in the Daming Weekly, encouraging those who lack young and strong labor at home to use them. It is supervised by the Ministry of Industry and is of high quality and low price.

The farming business has basically come to an end. These people are smarter than Zhu Biao thought, and with a little guidance, they can draw inferences from one instance to another.

What Zhu Biao has to do is to provide them with theoretical knowledge and conditions, as well as correct ideas, so that they can make something satisfactory, or even better.

In fact, the ancients were a group of outstanding talents delayed by ideas and times.

Regarding the issue of imperial power going to the countryside, Zhu Biao intends to tell Lao Zhu in a different way.

Through the window, Zhu Biao saw Lao Zhu who was buried in correcting the memorabilia.

Every time I see him, I am revising the memorials.

In addition to going to court, Lao Zhu's day is to eat, change the memorial, discuss with all the officials, then change the memorial, eat, continue to change the memorial, and go to sleep with Queen Ma at night.

Of course, he still has to see Zhu Biao every day.

When Zhu Biao entered, the Minister of the Ministry of Industry and the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs had just left the house. Several people met and hurriedly greeted Zhu Biao: "I have seen His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Yeah." Zhu Biao nodded and walked in.

Lao Zhu raised his head and glanced at Zhu Biao, and after the two looked at each other silently, they said, "The Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry told us about the Daming Agricultural Machinery yesterday, let's talk about your second matter."

Zhu Biao was silent for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your father knows?"

Looking at his much stronger son, Lao Zhu put down the memorial: "Those small places are handled by the clan themselves. We have seen many of them before, and we want to hear what you have to say."

"My son has a rule. Standing in the position of the common people, is it right? Considering the consumption of money, is it worthwhile? Standing in the position of the court, should it be done!" Zhu Biao said decisively.

Lao Zhu didn't speak, his son was more decisive and ruthless, and he also had a heart for the kindness of the people, so he said calmly: "What about this matter?"

"From the position of the common people, it must be corrected. Sometimes the clan is not so fair, just like those who are extinct.

Money and officials may need to be resolved, but standing in the imperial court, the imperial power must extend to every corner of the Ming Dynasty, and I am willing to do my best for the father and the people. "

Old Zhu laughed loudly, and said loudly to Yi: "Yu Yi, let Li Shanchang and Wang Guangyang come to the palace to see us."

"According to the order."

Time passed between breaths and breaths.

Old Zhu bowed his head in thought, looked at Zhu Biao and said, "The question of the imperial power not going to the countryside is not because I don't want to go to the countryside, but because I'm exhausted."

The meaning Zhu Biao understands, what Lao Zhu said is actually, it is not that the emperor does not want the imperial power to go to the countryside, they also want to control it to the end, but many of them are unable to control it there.

Grassroots management requires not only cost, but also human and material resources, and even financial resources.

"Is the father exhausted, or dare not?"

"Good boy, if you dare to ask us this kind of question, then let me tell you, as long as there are people and money in hand, we dare to control the ends of the world, there is nothing that I, Zhu Yuanzhang, dare not do!

The gentry pays for the mu, we can do it all, so why not dare. "

Old Zhu spoke boldly, and Zhu Biao was stunned by that momentum.

"Biaoer, Liu Bowen is not here. Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong have covered many things by themselves. You must be firm in your opinion later. No matter what we say, you don't care about it."

Then Lao Zhu asked Gao Qi and Yang Xian to be called.

Zhu Biao understood that the foundation of the supremacy of the monarchy was that the emperor maintained the old feudal ritual system. If he wanted to change something, the ministers would immediately take special actions against the emperor.

For example, the old and new parties finally destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty completely, and the Donglin Party and the Eunuch Party destroyed the late Ming Dynasty.

Party struggle is actually a contradiction between the monarch and his ministers. In the late Ming Dynasty, under the manipulation of these ministers, the emperor fell into the water and took medicine...

Li Shanchang and Wang Guangyang arrived one after another, followed by Lu Chang, Song Lian and Zhang Yi.

Gao Qi and Yang Xian arrived early.

"The old minister has met His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince," Li Shanchang took the lead, and the others followed behind to salute.

Except for Lu Chang, almost all of them have become Li Shanchang's team. Zhu Biao felt that he hadn't seen them for several months and had changed a lot.

"We have something to say, today you will settle a case for us." Old Zhu ordered them.

Li Shanchang cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, please explain the case for me, so that we pedantic masters can make a judgment."

Old Zhu glanced at Zhu Biao: "Biaoer."

"Prime Minister Li, yesterday when I went to inspect alone, I heard about a case in which people from the same clan and the patriarch's son had a conflict over a field and injured the patriarch's son.

Then, the patriarch privately ordered someone to beat the clansman to death with sticks, should the government take care of it?Whether that person died wrongly or not, I just want to ask for advice. "

Li Shanchang figured out Lao Zhu's thoughts and knew His Majesty's temper, and then said: "Although this matter is a family matter, the patriarch can take care of it, but he just beat people to death with sticks without permission, which is flouting my Ming law."

Seeing Lao Zhu's expression, Li Shanchang knew that there was no question in his answer. He had followed His Majesty for so many years, and he also understood His Majesty's temper.

Wang Guangyang stepped forward and said: "Since ancient times, the imperial court has never interfered with the affairs of the clan. This matter is a convention. The local clan has its own discretion to deal with it. I think that person must die, otherwise he will not be punished with a stick."

"Where did it come from? Since ancient times, one dynasty has one emperor and one courtier, let alone whether the rules of the previous dynasty are suitable for our dynasty." Gao Qi said directly.

Song Lian groaned for a long time, and said: "I think...the court doesn't need to care about this matter. The patriarch handles the clan affairs best. The words of the great patriarch are in the local area, and they are officials who are bigger than the yamen. Juren who have been educated and entered the world from generation to generation in the family The noble family, the minister thinks that he can handle family affairs even more."

Old Zhu's face darkened.

Lu Chang stepped forward and said: "The old minister thinks that the patriarch should not deal with it by himself, and he will not discuss it with the court. I see the difference between this and the earth emperor and the earth tyrant."

Yang Xian said sternly: "Under the whole world, there is no king's land, and all the lands are the king's ministers. No matter what crimes committed by any clansman, this matter should be decided by the court. Otherwise, the law of the Ming Dynasty will become a decoration."

Gao Qi nodded, and then said: "If the clan decides life and death, are the people executed by the Ming Dynasty? If so, why didn't they go through the imperial court and execute them without permission? Does it not exist?"

Zhu Biao added: "Father, my son thinks that what Yang Xian and Gao Qi said is right. Those are real lives. It is really inappropriate to only listen to one side of the story without going through the official judgment."

"We feel that the previous decrees could only go to the county magistrates, and now we should select some township officials who report directly to us. The common people are the foundation of the rise and fall of the imperial court.

Only relying on village chiefs, squires, etc. to implement, the control of the imperial court is too low, and many decrees cannot reach the people at all.The imperial court must reach out to every corner of the people, and we also listen to the voices of the people.

When we sit on the throne room, we become deaf, blind and lame. The news is all other people's one-sided words, and it is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false. "

Lao Zhu used to live at the bottom of the Yuan Dynasty. What Zhu Biao and the others said was true.

"Talk about how to communicate with the states and counties like what Biao'er said, and go among the common people so that they can know the decrees in time? Talk about it! Talk nonsense, talk nonsense, pull out the Meridian Gate if you don't talk, and court Twenty sticks."
