Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

The study room of Prince Qin's Mansion.

The candles burned and made a crackling sound from time to time.

Zhu Fang looked at Yao Guangxiao. A long time had passed since Yao Guangxiao arrived in the study and got the discount.

Yao Guangxiao also read the contents of the excerpt several times.

Mr. Yao, what does Father mean? At a certain moment, seeing Yao Guangxiao flipping to the front again, obviously planning to read it again, Zhu Xi couldn't bear to speak.

Yao Guangxiao raised his head and asked, Your Highness, whose hand did this advice come from?

The third child! Zhu Xi said casually.

King Jin!

Ha ha……

‘The poor monk really made the right choice! ’

This news made Yao Guangxiao very emotional and excited.

Trying to control his emotions, Yao Guangxiao smiled and said: Your Majesty should use this to motivate His Highness, and at the same time, it is also a blow to His Highness. I don't want His Highness to be too complacent.

Zhu Fang couldn't help but curled his lips and muttered: You just praised me, and you hit me with the third son's discount. He is really my father...

He raised his head and asked, I have also read the content of Lao San's excerpt. It is indeed very accomplished. It seems to be more outstanding than the one Mr. Yao wrote for me.

But I know it's good, but I don't know what's good about it. Sir, can you help me clarify my doubts?

Yao Guangxiao was in a good mood after learning that the zhezi was written by Zhu Ping. Hearing the words, he nodded with a smile and encouraged Zhu Ping: Your Highness, there is no need to belittle yourself. The fact that you can ask this question proves that you are very malleable.

In fact, these second-generation princes from the Lao Zhu family are all excellent.

He didn't just want to make Zhu Ping happy.

Zhu Xi smiled and said, Sir, please speak. I am all ears.

I won't go into details about the specific methods in this excerpt. Your Highness will definitely see that these targeted measures are highly feasible.

After Zhu Xi nodded, Yao Guangxiao continued: The poor monk analyzed in detail for Your Highness the essence behind these methods.

That is, the skills to govern the country and the people.

…

First is the martial arts test!

Governing a big country is like cooking a small one. If the country's disease is not serious or urgent, do not use strong medicine directly!

In the past, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty cut down the vassal vassals, which triggered the rebellion of the Seven Kings. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty cut off the vassal vassals according to his favor, and the movement was much smaller.

Yao Guangxiao nodded, The essential purpose of this martial arts test is to abolish the hereditary inheritance of military attachés, but it is more like a favor order from the Emperor Wu. New 𝟲𝟵Book →𝟲𝟵𝘀𝗵𝘂𝘅.𝗰𝗼𝗺

Apply the right medicine to the condition, and pay attention to the word 'feminine'!

The medicine is small in strength, soft in power, and has a negative effect! Little by little, slowly remove the lesions!

The 'drug effect Yin' here does not mean sinister, but means that the angle at which the drug is directed at the lesion is very tricky!

Zhu Xi nodded repeatedly, he was indeed very tricky.

Abolition of the hereditary system, but not a single word of abolition, using the method of continuous elimination.

If they are all eliminated, wouldn’t they be abolished?

The Third Brother's method is indeed very cunning and underhanded! Zhu Ping commented: The most important thing is that it is just and above all, it is a conspiracy!

Obviously it's quite sinister, but it's still a conspiracy. It's really evil!

Yao Guangxiao was secretly excited in his heart and nodded: It is indeed a conspiracy. The worst ones will be eliminated through assessment to maintain the combat effectiveness of the army and better protect the country of Ming Dynasty. Everyone in the world has nothing to say. They still have to applaud His Majesty and say, Your Majesty is a sage. Mingjun!

‘In addition to scolding the hereditary military attachés whose interests have been harmed, the mainstream voices in the world must be supportive and praising! Emperor Zhu didn't even have to bear the infamy of being ungrateful and ungrateful! ’

Whispering secretly, Yao Guangxiao continued: The martial arts test is a conspiracy, a cunning and feminine way of applying medicine, and a slow plan!

But mutual aid societies are all about quick medicine and strong medicine.

“Quickly set up mutual aid societies.”

Then we use the imperial court's military supplies of cotton cloth and low-priced salt to quickly stabilize the military households, benevolent to the military households, hold them back, and separate the military households from the military attachés, forming a relationship that is both antagonistic and dependent.

The most important reason for taking this medicine is profit!

Govern the people, don't talk about loyalty, justice, filial piety and other big principles to the people, just use interests to govern the people! Mutual aid society also has interests, but it is also subject to interests!

…

To sum up, behind this advice, it reflects the Jin king's essential thoughts of governing the country slowly but delicately, and governing the people urgently, fiercely, and with profit first.

Your Highness, a person's words and deeds reflect his inner way of thinking. This is the way of thinking of Prince Jin in this excerpt.

After making his final summary, Yao Guangxiao stopped.

Zhu Xi nodded repeatedly and asked: Mr. Yao, I can understand that the third son governs the country slowly but is gentle and cunning, but why does he govern the people urgently, fiercely, and with profit first?

Yao Guangxiao explained with a smile: People's hearts are easy to disperse but hard to win back. To win people's hearts back, you have to be urgent and fierce. Don't hesitate or delay.

Otherwise, once the people's support is dispersed, it will be extremely difficult to recover.

Since the collapse of rituals and music in the Zhou Dynasty, moral principles have actually ceased to exist.

“Virtue cannot govern a country.”

Virtue only restrains people's desires and guides people to be good. Talking about virtue is just to make this profit-seeking world less dirty and make people less desperate.

Your Highness, just imagine, what will happen if one day, the people all over the world discover that most of the scholars and elites in this world are profit-seeking and selfish hypocrites?

despair!

The people will feel a deep despair!

The despair of thought is terrible!

Confucius worked tirelessly to restore the Zhou rites throughout his life. From the perspective of the poor monk, it was this Confucian sage who saw the horror of ideological despair!

Everyone's thoughts and souls have become a barren and desolate land. It must be an even greater collapse after the collapse of rituals and music in the Zhou Dynasty!

Throughout the ages, all dynasties have used the three teachings of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism to promote beauty, virtue, and goodness! However, the essence of governing the world has long become ruling the world with benefits!

Zhu Ming felt hairy all over after hearing this. He had never thought about such a far-reaching question.

The mind and soul have become a barren land, a collapse greater than the collapse of rituals and music?

When does it happen?

What are the consequences?

Yao Guangxiao noticed the fear in Zhu Ping's eyes, smiled and comforted: Your Highness, even if it happens once, after the collapse of rituals and music, a bigger collapse will probably happen a long, long time later.

new

Perhaps, another kind of thought will emerge to replace the three religions of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism, clean up people's hearts, nourish people's thoughts and souls and rejuvenate them.

Everything in the world is developing. Things we can't solve now may be infinite in the future.

Zhu Xi smiled, stood up and said, My worries are unfounded!

Sir, you are still open-minded!

After listening to what Mr. Wang said, I also know how to write this article. I have gained some insights after comparing the two excerpts!

Just polish and polish what Yao Guangxiao said.

Sir, please rest early.

The poor monk takes his leave.

Yao Guangxiao stood up and left.

Walking out of the study, he muttered to himself: Prince Qin is actually very good, but just based on Prince Jin's remarks, we can see that Prince Jin is even better!

This twist proves once again that my choice is correct!

…

The next day.

Morning ends.

Zhu Xi turned into a little tail again and followed Zhu Yuanzhang all the way to the imperial study.

Then, as if offering a treasure, with a little hint, he presented the fold to Zhu Yuanzhang's desk.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat down, looked at the folding paper placed in front of him, and raised his head in surprise, Has it been written?

Yeah!

Zhu Fang groaned in his heart and answered honestly: My son, I read Lao San's advice over and over again. I stayed up all night and finally finished it.

Zhu Yuanzhang observed Zhu Chong, and sure enough, he had heavy dark circles under his eyes.

Suspicious, Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the book.

As he continued to flip through it, he couldn't help but nod his head. After a while, he closed the folded book and said, The writing is good and the analysis is also very good. Especially the discussion on the role of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism at the end is very profound!

Whatever reward you want, as long as it's not excessive, my father can give it to you!

ha!

And such good things?

Zhu Fang almost jumped up with excitement and said hurriedly: My father once stipulated that when my son, ministers and others enter the feudal lordship, a monk should be sent by their side.

I choose one of my own...

Is it the Dao Yan who lives in your house? Zhu Yuanzhang asked back: In Huangjue Temple, he first went to seek refuge with the third child. The third child seemed to look down on him, and then he went to seek refuge with you.

He also took part in the monk examination we held, but he didn't get a monk's rank, he only got a monk's robe.

Zhu Yuanzhang was not surprised at all that Zhu Yuanzhang knew about Yao Guangxiao.

He said hurriedly: Father, some people are not suitable for the exam, but they are really talented.

Monk Daoyan belongs to this kind of person.

Some of the ideas in Erchen's excerpt contain some of Dao Yan's views.

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised. After thinking for a while, he agreed: Okay, my father has agreed to this.

My dear father, thank you! Zhu Fang was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would regret it, so he spoke very quickly and expressed his gratitude in excitement.

…

The fact that Yao Guangxiao officially became a monk of the King of Qin was a small matter.

Almost no attention paid to it.

Zhu Di didn't even know.

After more than ten days, the rice harvest is completed and the grains are returned to the warehouse.

This morning.

The sky turned slightly white.

Zhu Di and Xu Miaoyun had just gotten up and cleaned up inside and outside.

A burst of rapid horse hooves came from the entrance of the village.

Zhu Di heard the sound of horse hoofbeats and subconsciously followed the sound.

An acquaintance appeared in sight.

Zhou Lang came galloping on horseback and reined up his horse outside the small courtyard. When he saw Zhu Di, he got off his horse, led the horse to the outside of the fence, and greeted with a smile: Mr. Zhu.

Zhu Di smiled and asked, Are you here to inform the village that the land tax collection will begin?

We need to collect land tax, but that's not why I came here. Zhou Lang said with a smile: This year, Jiang County Zun wants to conduct an experiment.

The government collects land taxes directly and does not contract them out to the gentry.

The area I was originally in charge of was the pilot project.

Jiang Xianzun is already on the way. I came in advance to give Mr. Zhu a message.

While he was talking, Zhou Lang had already entered the courtyard and said in a low voice: Mr. Zhu, this time Mr. Jiang County wants to take a look at our school in Tuqiao Village.

Do you want to get ready?

Zhu Di couldn't help but be amused.

Our Tuqiao Village?

Zhou Lang is also a wonderful person this week.

Really, all kinds of people, everyone has their own way of survival.

Zhu Di asked with a smile: Why does Jiang County Zun want the government to collect land taxes personally?

Jiang County Zun said that the contract was contracted to the squire, who secretly increased taxes and the burden on the people was too heavy. He wanted to set up a pilot project to see how many villages the county government could manage within the time limit specified by the court for tax collection.

In the future, even if the county government cannot completely abolish the squire tax farming.

It can also be rotated by area. For example, this year, the county government will directly collect the Tuqiao Village area, and next year it will be directly collected by other areas.

In short, Magistrate Jiang suddenly tried his best to reduce the burden on farmers!

It seems that he suddenly changed his gender. Many people in the county government feel that they no longer recognize Mr. Jiang.

Zhu Di was amused again.

It is clear in my heart.

Fatty Jiang is going to do something real!

Mr. Xu! Xu Miaoyun came out when he heard the commotion, and Zhou Lang hurriedly saluted and said hello.

Zhu Di turned his head and said to Xu Miaoyun with a smile: County Magistrate Jiang has a real and hard-working heart. We also want to make Magistrate Jiang gain a sense of honor.

Let the children have a day off from school today and arrange it this way...
