Zhu Yuanzhang sat here, looking at Han Cheng who was also sitting opposite him, waiting for Han Cheng to speak and continue.
He was holding back some energy in his heart.
I still don't believe it. The system that I and many ministers have carefully developed based on the previous dynasty is not easy to use.
It will really have such a bad impact on future generations!
The ancestral teachings and other things I thought about were sieved by the worms of later generations, so I won’t talk about them.
This household registration system is not easy to exploit!
Anyway, he thought quickly and couldn't figure out what means future generations could use to make holes in his household registration system!
Even if they try to exploit it again, there must be a limit.
It won't be as ridiculous as my ancestral precepts!
At least it will never be as serious as Han Cheng showed at this time.
Han Chengdao: "The military household system was indeed very easy to use at the beginning.
It can save a lot of money for the court.
Extremely effective in solving the food problem.
But later on, things changed.
The land of the guards was sold off in large quantities and plundered through various means.
As a result, a large number of military households had no land for farming.
At the same time, the officers of each guard station also squeezed the military households crazily, turning many military households into their personal slaves.
All kinds of life and death.
And because of the restrictions on military households, these military households who lost their land had no way to make a living elsewhere.
Therefore, one can imagine how miserable each and every one of them was being exploited.
Later, there were a large number of people fleeing their homes.
Fugitive households are military households who were exploited too hard and couldn't survive, so they had to abandon their original identity and become refugees, or they fell into trouble and became bandits..."
Han Cheng's words soon shattered Zhu Yuanzhang's confidence into pieces.
Emperor Hongwu, who couldn't hold the sand in his eyes, soon got it again.
"How could this happen? How could this happen? How dare they?!
These military households, these soldiers and horses are used to protect the Ming Dynasty and the mountains and rivers!
Only with strong troops and strong horses can the Ming Dynasty not be troubled by foreign enemies!
Without so many soldiers, once a foreign enemy invades, the people will be in dire straits!
Many people can’t get enough of it!
How dare these people do this?
How can you be so short-sighted? ! "
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was cold, containing endless anger, and his chest heaved.
When Zhu Yuanzhang feels the need to hide his emotions, he can naturally hide his emotions in a watertight manner.
For example, after fighting with Li Shanchang and others and creating an empty seal case, the anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart obviously did not disappear because of this, but when facing Li Shanchang, he was able to do everything perfectly.
Let Li Shanchang relax his vigilance and think that the matter is over...
Of course, there are not many moments when Zhu Yuanzhang can be like this. When he is normal, he likes to follow his own temper, laughing when he is happy and scolding when he is angry.
If you still don't feel relieved after scolding, then start killing people!
In Han Cheng's case, Zhu Yuanzhang obviously didn't feel that he needed to do that trick to show off his city.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang, who was so confident just now and very confident in the household registration system he had formulated, was now so angry that he started slamming the table and scolding his mother, Han Cheng suddenly felt relieved.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, do you think those people really don't dare?
What are they afraid of?
As the founding emperor, you have already made various regulations and adopted various means to punish corrupt officials.
All the peeling and solid grass are used, but are there no corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty?
There must still be some, and there are quite a lot of them.
Generally speaking, in a dynasty, the emperor has the most authority and can best suppress the arrogant soldiers and generals under his command. The period of the civil and military ministers is when the founding emperor is still there.
The authority of the emperor who came to the throne through battles was far more majestic than those who obtained the throne through inheritance.
But now, under your rule, His Majesty the Emperor, if this is the case, then in the future, there is no need to think too much about what those people can do.
Their courage has always been very great.
As for family and country affairs, the overall situation has nothing to do with them.
They just want to line their pockets, bite some meat from the imperial court, and fill their own stomachs, that's all.
After all, they are only a minority who have a view of the overall situation, and even more so, they are still short-sighted.
Perhaps, it cannot be said that they are short-sighted.
There are also many people who actually know that doing this is wrong, but others have done it, so if they don’t do it themselves, isn’t it bad?
Is it too much of a disadvantage?
The temptation is too great and the risk is too small. It is difficult for officials to withstand the test if this is used as a test.
There are too many people who know their mistakes and make mistakes, but feel regret while continuing to make mistakes..."
When Han Cheng said this, he couldn't help but think of his own experience in later life, when he was wasting time by watching videos or playing games, and he felt anxious and regretful, and he couldn't stop playing at the same time...
As Han Cheng spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang felt angry in his chest for a moment.
The existence of military households is so important, and it is related to the safety of the country, and yet they are treated in this way.
As for civilian households and craftsmen households, you don't need to think too much to know that their lives will definitely not be very good.
While his chest was full of anger, he was also hit hard.
This household registration system was carefully researched by myself and others.
I was proud of it before, thinking that through this method, I would definitely be able to protect many people and enable them to have a relatively stable life.
It can also maintain the stability of the Ming Dynasty to the greatest extent.
But in the end, this system was riddled with holes!
It has long since lost its original intention of setting it up in the first place!
Is this so possible?
How could this be?
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little confused for a while.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was a very confident person.
But now, after seeing Han Cheng one after another and learning what his proud work turned out to be, Zhu Yuanzhang was hit with some loss of confidence.
Is it really wrong to do this?
He fell into confusion.
My mind was confused for a while.
After a while, he looked at Han Cheng and said, "Could it be that the policies we formulated are really so useless?"
Han Cheng shook his head and said: "That's not the case, Your Majesty, many of the policies you have made are actually very effective.
For example, the household registration system you formulated, although later, various drawbacks appeared.
But it is undeniable that it still played a big role in the internal stability of Ming Dynasty.
Without the various policies you formulated, the Ming Dynasty would have been like that, and it would have been difficult to survive for more than two hundred and seventy years. "
After listening to Han Cheng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed confused. It actually had such an effect?
Obviously later on, the policies I formulated had so many shortcomings!
If there were not so many shortcomings, would Ming Dynasty be able to exist longer?
Vaguely, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have caught something.
But soon, he fell into deeper confusion.
How easy is it to formulate a policy that can break the three-hundred-year curse of the dynasty?
Many of his proud works, which he thought were very good, were proved by Han Cheng to be corrupted within a few decades.
"Your Majesty, in fact, you have fallen into a very serious misunderstanding on this matter..."
After hearing Han Cheng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly raised his head and looked at Han Cheng, wanting to see what Han Cheng would say next!
Why did I fall into a misunderstanding?
