Chu Zhen said: "This incident is called the Renyin Palace Incident, and there are many doubts. For example, Xu Shen, the imperial physician who rescued Jiajing, died of panic shortly after.
But whether the imperial doctor was bribed by the ministers to want Jiajing's death, or the promoted imperial doctor was highly skilled in medicine, it all shows one thing: the hereditary occupation household registration system really doesn't work. "
"What's more, two emperors in the Ming Dynasty were killed by the same imperial physician."
Chu Zhen added.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that there was a lot of inside information here, and it was impossible for history books to record the truth, but he still couldn't help but asked in a deep voice:
"Who did the Renyin Palace Change? Was there anyone behind it?"
"Historical records state that the palace maids couldn't stand Jiajing's cruelty and took action with his concubines. Unofficial history is that Jiajing used the menstrual blood of the palace ladies to make elixirs, causing the palace ladies to mistakenly think that they were used to make elixirs."
Chu Zhen's words made Li Qingzhao and Lin Daiyu blush with embarrassment and did not dare to look over.
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a dark face: "If the death was caused by cruelty, I don't care... But as you said, the imperial doctor was bribed by the ministers. Two Ming emperors were killed by the same imperial doctor. The imperial doctor Xu Shen also died soon after. What happened? thing?"
He really could not have imagined that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was almost strangled to death by a palace maid!
Xu Shen later died of shock.
"Doctors in ancient times were a high-risk profession, especially imperial physicians who treated kings. No one knows how Xu Shen died."
Chu Zhen sighed.
This is true from "Bian Que Meets Duke Huan of Cai", to Hua Tuo being killed by Cao Cao, to Xu Shen of the Ming Dynasty.
"As for the collusion between imperial doctors and civil servants to kill Jiajing, there is a conspiracy theory among the civil servants, which is just the same old story."
Chu Zhen probably said something.
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped asking. He didn't believe those unofficial historians, so he asked instead: "Are you talking about abolishing military and craftsmanship and music registration?"
"That's right!"
"Ah."
Zhu Yuanzhang did not immediately express his opinion.
Li Qingzhao couldn't help but interject: "Chu Langjun, Lehu has existed since ancient times, and so has humble status."
"It's always been like this, right?"
Chu Zhen answered with an allusion, but they didn't know the source of the allusion.
None of the three spoke.
They take the status of lowly slave as a matter of course. Lin Daiyu has maids to serve her, Zhu Yuanzhang's palace has a bunch of maids and eunuchs, and the same is true in Prince Qin's palace.
It was impossible to abolish the low status in the feudal era, because from the emperor to the ninth-grade sesame official, they were all noble grades. Where there is nobility, there must be poverty.
Chu Zhen said: "The Ming Dynasty was full of wastes, and the system of military households and guards could quickly reclaim wasteland and restore farming and mulberry trees, which is worthy of recognition. But in the future, military households will definitely become a burden, and a large number of people will flee, and military households will become empty payers. Craftsmen with low status and low income will also run away or fail to work."
"In our modern times, craftsmen are called engineers and scientists, and everyone respects them."
It was still Chu Zhen who said: "Even if the lowly status cannot be abolished immediately, we must give them hope of escaping from the lowly status. They cannot be slaves for generations, otherwise they will be a pool of stagnant water."
These words not only hurt Zhu Yuanzhang's heart and lungs, but also made Lin Daiyu, who had a maid at home, grab her handkerchief and bow her head in silence.
Li Qingzhao was better off. Tao Qin who served her was a female envoy, not a lowly slave.
"I understand what you said."
Zhu Yuanzhang spoke slowly, "Military households, craftsman households, medical households, etc. were inherited from the Yuan Dynasty. The guard system was implemented after I improved the military system of the Tang Dynasty. Military households were exempted from service and had land allocations... The most important thing is that households The ministry has no money, but the military household can save me more than 10 million shi of food every year."
That last sentence is the key point.
The Ming Dynasty has been very poor since the founding of the country.
"This is an unhealthy tax system, although it did work initially."
Chu Zhen said: "After the collapse of the guard system, the imperial court had to increase taxes to recruit soldiers, the so-called three rates. The extra taxes could only be borne by ordinary farmers. Large households raised very little. When disaster strikes, they will There were revolting peasants everywhere.”
"this……"
Zhu Yuanzhang was depressed for a long time, and then said decisively: "Until the Liaodong campaign is completed, the guard system and military households must not be changed!"
Chu Zhen laughed.
Hasty change is the way to death.
"Just in time, I found two cannon designs for you."
"oh?"
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression lit up, and Li Qingzhao also looked at him excitedly.
"There are also three types of ships, two types of guns, two books, plus a suggestion to fight pirates and develop a navy."
"so much?"
Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more surprised and immediately urged: "First, what are the suggestions for developing the navy to fight pirates?"
Chu Zhen smiled and said: "The suggestion is also very simple. The Ming Dynasty's navy and shipbuilding were all prepared by each province, without unified command, and shipbuilding is a project that requires extremely high skills.
Therefore, if the Ming Dynasty wanted to build a navy that sailed on the sea, it must have a naval headquarters to integrate the ship technology of Ming craftsmen and even various trading houses, encourage invention and creation, and improve shipbuilding technology to the level of building a sail battleship! "
"Sail...battleship?"
"Yes, this is a sea giant that can carry a hundred cannons, has a crew of nearly a thousand people, and can transport two thousand tons at a time!"
Chu Zhen found a picture of a sailing battleship. The dense canvas above the ship and the huge gun barrels protruding from the hull in three rows made Zhu Yuanzhang both shocked and greedy.
"Chu Langjun's country sails this kind of ship?!" Li Qingzhao felt terrible just seeing the three rows of black gun barrels.
This ship may be able to flow downstream from Bianjing City and blow up all the way to the Liao Dynasty.
Chu Zhen: "..."
When Li Shimin was here before, he decided not to show modern army combat videos to avoid Erlang's moral collapse.
After all, Luoyang City, which is difficult for him to break, can be wiped out with just one Oriental Express.
"The big ships we have now can make the air force fly."
Chu Zhen said casually.
"Air force?" Lin Daiyu asked curiously.
"The Air Force is the army that flies in the sky when you're fishing - bah, I mean."
"Flying in the sky?"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the sky.
Lin Daiyu looked for a fishing rod in the house.
"Ahem, don't talk about that."
Chu Zhen pointed to the table and said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "I have two books here, one is "Cao Hai Tu Bian" and the other is "New Book of Ji Xiao" written by Qi Jiguang. They were both written by officials and generals of the Ming Dynasty. A book about how to resist Japanese pirates."
"Or a Japanese pirate?"
Zhu Yuanzhang felt aggrieved. He took the book and took a look at it. Sure enough, it was full of books on how to guard against Japanese pirates. This shows that what Chu Zhen said was true that the Ming Dynasty had been harassed by Japanese pirates.
He sat back on the sofa, looked at it carefully, and quickly praised: "It's well written, but the maps of the cities and islands are too crude, far worse than your satellite map."
"Of course."
Chu Zhen opened the satellite map again and took screenshots of all the islands along the coastline.
It also explained that some islands are artificial islands. When the Ming Dynasty fleet went there, it was estimated that they could only see the islands and reefs emerging from the sea.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied.
"With these charts and the compass, the Ming Navy can sail smoothly!"
"There's one more thing."
"besides?"
"Yes, a thing that can be used for positioning at sea, but it hasn't arrived yet. It will take four or five days."
Chu Zhen was in the modern world for four or five days, but they didn't know how long it would take.
Zhu Yuanzhang also knew it, stood up and said with a smile: "I have gained a lot today. When Chu Zhen arrives in the Ming Dynasty, you will have all the beauties and maids at your disposal!"
"Forget it, it's all people's blessings, and I don't live here permanently."
Minzhimingan is not a satire. It is said that ancient yamen had stone carvings, and what was written on them was:
Your salary is your salary, and the people anoint the people.
The people below are easy to abuse, but God is hard to bully.
"Haha, how can what I give you be the same as a corrupt official?"
After that, Zhu Yuanzhang also went back with a bunch of things.
As soon as he left, Lin Daiyu smiled at Chu Zhen and said:
"Uncle Chu, won't you go to the Ming Dynasty?"
"Why should I go to Ming Dynasty? I haven't read those books, and I can't make them."
After Chu Zhen finished speaking, Lin Daiyu pursed her lips and lowered her head in shame.
