Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time.

After a long while, he slowly said: "Hu Weiyong, I still want to kill him. Prime Minister, I still want to destroy him! I want to keep Biao'er and let the fourth man go to Beiping Mansion to be his King Yan!"

The majesty of the emperor is what you can see at this moment.

Sitting opposite him, Li Shimin looked solemn, like a liger aroused to fight, with his hands on the armrests of the single sofa.

"The cabinet system is actually not bad, with multiple people replacing the prime minister."

Chu Zhen said, "If three more things are completed, no, only one thing is needed, the Ming Dynasty may last for three to four hundred years."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked over and said with a smile: "Is that what you said last time, about changing taxes, abolishing household registration, and dividing people into acres?"

"Guess which one it is?"

"What you kid is talking about is all about destabilizing the government and the opposition and bringing chaos to the country. I don't want to hear it!"

Before he sleepwalked through later generations and came to Chu Zhen, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he was the emperor who was destined to be destined by heaven. He could conquer the world and govern the country at the level of an emperor throughout the ages.

But after coming here, he suddenly realized that the Ming Dynasty he established was criticized by future generations everywhere, and the national policies he set were harmful to the country and the people. The descendants of the Ming Dynasty, no, the descendants of the fourth child, all of them were It's a foolish king!

"That's okay."

Chu Zhen took a sip of tea.

Zhu Yuanzhang became suspicious, hesitated for a while, and said vaguely: "You can say whatever you want, and I can listen to it."

Li Qingzhao laughed and looked at Sister Lin.

Chu Zhen smiled and said: "It's very simple, abolish the ancestral teachings of Emperor Ming."

"..."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark.

He took time out of his busy schedule to compile this book of ancestral teachings, but in the end it was criticized as useless by Chu Zhen, and he was asked to throw it into the furnace and burn it.

I bet he was busy in vain!

"Why do I say that Huang Ming's ancestral precepts are not good?"

Chu Zhen took the initiative to explain: "In my opinion, the world is like a river, it cannot be blocked, it can only be combed.

The ancestral precepts of the Ming Dynasty set rules and regulations for the Ming emperor. If he wanted to change something later, someone would definitely use the ancestral precepts to stop him.

Furthermore, the role of Huang Ming’s ancestral precepts is also limited.

For example, after Hongwu, Zhu Yunwen immediately started to cut down the vassal, while Zhu Di thought that "there are no honest ministers in the dynasty, and there are traitors and traitors in the court, we must train troops to fight against them, so as to clear away the evil on the side of the emperor." Jingnan raised his troops, broke into Yingtian Mansion, and won the throne. "

"This traitor...!"

After finally hearing how the fourth child won the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he clenched the armrests of the sofa with his fingers and his eyes widened in anger.

The sentence Chu Zhen said, "There are no honest ministers in the court, but there are traitors inside" was written by him. How could he not remember it?

But he really didn't expect that just such a sentence would become an excuse for the fourth child to rebel!

Why is Jing Nan Qing Jun's side? What a bullshit!

"Where's Yunwen?!" Zhu Yuanzhang asked loudly.

"It is written in history books that Zhu Yunwen has disappeared."

"What the hell are you writing about in history? You don't even dare to write about Lao Si's rebellion and regicide?! What's the use of them!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and stood up suddenly, believing that it was Zhu Di who had conspired to murder Zhu Yunwen.

Li Shimin, who was sitting opposite, was also shocked.

Zhu Di, the vassal king of the Ming Dynasty, actually succeeded in his rebellion. Isn't this another "Xuanwu Sect" of fratricide?

Chu Zhen said: "I have to say something for Zhu Di. Zhu Yunwen cut down the feudal vassal too hastily, too quickly and too harshly. In less than a year, four princes were demoted to common people, and one prince burned himself to death. After Zhu Di was arrested, He only raised troops after escaping from prison. When he broke into Yingtian Mansion four years later, Zhu Yunwen had no choice but to die.

After all, this is a fight for the throne, and those who cannot take it will have no choice but to die. "

Chu Zhen looked at Li Shimin.

His Highness, Prince Qin of the Tang Dynasty, looked silent at the moment, and it was hard to tell what he was thinking.

Zhu Yuanzhang fell back on the sofa, like a shocked old man rather than a founding king.

Li Qingzhao and Lin Daiyu were silent at this moment.

"I."

"Keep Biao'er!"

"With this eldest brother Biao'er as the emperor, I wouldn't dare to rebel even if I have a hundred courages!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were dark and he was talking to himself.

He didn't want to read anything written in the history books of later generations.

There are too many unfilial sons and unfilial grandchildren.

Every time he heard this from Chu Zhen, it always made him furious and angry.

Biao'er is better, Biao'er is filial and has the talent to govern the country. Biao'er can also do what the fourth child can do when he is the emperor!

Chu Zhen said: "Historical records state that Zhu Biao fell ill in the 24th year of Hongwu when he inspected Guanzhong and planned to move the capital. He died of illness the next year."

"Okay, I won't move the capital." Zhu Yuanzhang said immediately.

"In my opinion, moving the capital to the Ming Dynasty was a great achievement of Zhu Di, the founder of the Ming Dynasty. It bridged the gap between the north and the south, protected the north of the Ming Dynasty, and prevented the Ming Dynasty from turning into the Song Dynasty."

Li Qingzhao: "?"

My Da Song was shot while I was lying down. What happened?

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "I will move the capital myself, just to Beiping Mansion, to save me all the trouble!"

"You compare Ming Dynasty to Song Dynasty, which is... you are wrong!"

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to scold the Song Dynasty, but he remembered that there was Mrs. Li from the Song Dynasty opposite, and seeing that Chu Zhen cared about her, he didn't say anything more.

Chu Zhen smiled at Li Qingzhao, who had a wonderful expression. Just as he was about to speak, Li Shimin suddenly asked: "Mr. Chu, has half an hour passed?"

"Are you in a hurry to go back?"

"It's quite urgent. Mr. Chu said that malaria is transmitted through mosquito bites. I want to order someone to inform my brother as soon as possible and ask them to pay attention to mosquitoes."

"How long have you been fighting?"

"It's been more than half a month since my brother led the troops and set off."

"Half Moon...you have to hurry up."

Chu Zhen went downstairs and handed a typed "Barefoot Doctor's Manual" to Li Shimin.

"Thank you Mr. Chu!"

Li Shimin saluted and thanked Chu Zhen, then bowed to Lin Daiyu who was behind the curtain on the left, and said, "Thank you, Mrs. Lin, for the corn seeds! After I returned, I immediately ordered people to plant them and take care of them carefully."

"I have no merit, so I dare not accept the gift from King Qin." Lin Daiyu stood up and returned the gift.

After Li Shimin handed over to Li Qingzhao and Zhu Yuanzhang, he took a small bag with one or two corns, plus the barefoot doctor's manual, strode down the stairs, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

As soon as he left, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two beautiful girls on the other side of the curtain, turned his head and smiled meaningfully at Chu Zhen.

"..."

Chu Zhen pretended not to notice that Zhu Yuanzhang had a bunch of concubines in his palace and gave birth to more than 20 sons and a bunch of daughters. They were ridiculously powerful.

But where are the three palaces and six courtyards in modern times?

Unless you are rich.

Oh, in ancient times only rich people could marry three wives and four concubines... That's okay.

"I will pick up the medical book "Barefoot Doctor" next time I come here."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and asked Chu Zhen as if he was asking casually: "By the way, what you said about sharing one's land into one's own land is wrong. There was no poll tax in the Ming Dynasty!"

The poll tax, also known as the capitation tax, generally refers to a tax that directly levies property on adult men.

To put it simply, you have to pay taxes as long as you live.

Chu Zhen looked at him with a smile but not a smile: "Is there really no human tax in the Ming Dynasty?"

"I said no, it means no!"

"No, but the corvee is still there, and all kinds of government servants are distributed to the people. It's still a capitation tax."

"Instead of sending out corvees, will we collect grain instead?"

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it carefully and felt that it was inappropriate and a strategy to disrupt the country.

Chu Zhen said: "Before the tenants entered the acres, there was a whipping method of Zhang Juzheng in the Ming Dynasty. It also combined all kinds of corvee into silver coins and paid them per mu. However, it is not enough to have the tenants enter the acres. They also need to cooperate with the officials and gentry. If these three policies of integrated grain payment and return of fire expenses to the public are implemented well, any minister can be given a posthumous title, and the emperor can be called a wise king."

Zhang Juzheng's posthumous title is Wenzhong.

"One whip method, allocate small grains into acres... Fire consumption shall be returned to the public... Officials and gentry shall be integrated to pay the grain."

While reciting silently, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the bag of corn on the table again, and suddenly grinned: "I have to think about it again, I will take these fruits back to eat."

After saying that, he packed up everything on the table and took it back to the Ming Dynasty without any politeness.

He sent ten large gold ingots. These fruits should be his!

"Dividing a small family into an acre?"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang left, Li Qingzhao asked immediately.

Chu Zhen said with a smile: "It is a good national policy to spread the land between farmers and farmers, but it will offend the landlords all over the world. If it is implemented indiscriminately, trouble will happen."

He dared to conclude that even if Zhu Yuanzhang thought that it was feasible to divide the land into small acres, he would convene a group of ministers to discuss it. At that time, a group of courtiers representing the landlord class, the princes of the country, and even the princes of the Zhu family would strongly oppose it.

Even for Zhu Yuanzhang, it would be extremely difficult to accomplish this!

Who will betray their own interests?
