"This is nothing, but if the emperor really wants to investigate, these are all sins, not to mention that our emperor really takes those untouchables seriously now!
Take a look at the new policies he has recently implemented in the world when he implemented the clearing of land and land. Which of the things that divide the land into the land and return the fire to the public are beneficial to the common people and not harmful to the powerful and wealthy gentry?
I also don’t understand why our Emperor, His Majesty, listens to the instigation of Fang Congzhe, Xu Guangqi and a bunch of treacherous ministers, and tramples on powerful ministers just for the sake of indifference! "
Zhu Changzi also spoke with some annoyance, and added: "If I don't come to Beijing, he will let me be rebelled and suppressed like King Fu!"
"The edict has arrived! His Royal Highness Prince Lu accepts the edict!"
At this time, the voice of the messenger came from outside.
After hearing this, Zhu Changzi's legs softened and he almost sat on the ground.
"Your Majesty!"
Ouyang rushed to help him.
At this time, the messenger had already walked in: "Holy edict!"
Zhu Changzi stood up with difficulty, and then prostrated on the ground: "I, King Lu, Zhu Changzi respectfully listen to the edict."
Then, the official relayed Zhu Youxiao's original words.
After hearing this, Zhu Changzi breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "My foot injury has recovered! Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I will go to the capital to accept my guilt now!"
Next, Zhu Changzi entered Beijing honestly and did not dare to deal with Zhu Youxiao anymore.
…
"Pass an edict to order the princes, princes, and vassals in the world, including the heirs of all prefectures, to come to the capital immediately!"
After Zhu Youxiao learned that Zhu Changzi had come to Beijing, he immediately issued a decree to summon the vassal kings to Beijing.
As long as the feudal princes were obedient, he would not really use unkind methods to deal with these people.
Zhu Youxiao knew that in order to solve the problem of too many vassals in the Ming Dynasty, which was dragging down the court's finances, exterminating the vassal kings such as King De and King Fu who occupied a lot of land would only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.
To fundamentally deal with the problem of increased financial burden caused by too many clan children, a new vassal system must be established.
After all, the old vassal system is no longer suitable for the new system.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao wanted to recruit sects to Beijing.
There are many issues related to vassalage.
For example, for distant sects and vassals, should we open up the business of the four peoples and allow them to engage in it?
For example, for the recent sects, should we increase investment in education to prevent them from being too arrogant, ignorant of fear, ignorance of etiquette, and acting recklessly based on their status as nobles?
There is also the system of deliberation of crimes in vassal vassals, and how specific crimes should be sentenced. These must have regulations.
And whether the feudal king can be transferred to a foreign country in the future.
Naturally, Zhu Youxiao would not just discuss these issues with the courtiers.
Because from their own standpoint, the courtiers wanted to suppress the clan as hard as possible.
But for the emperor, he not only had to guard against the vassal vassal, but also used the kinship relationship between the vassal vassal and himself to check and balance the courtiers, thereby protecting his imperial power.
Although the Ming Dynasty vassals now play a very small role in checking and balancing the courtiers for the emperor, it does not mean that they do not exist. If the courtiers really cause trouble, there will still be vassal kings who will help the Zhu family.
This is also the reason why Zhu Yousong's school council named Zhu Yousong the king on the grounds that he took the initiative to expose his father's rebellion.
Therefore, the emperor needed the vassals to participate.
Although decision-making must be attributed to one person, planning can involve multiple people.
In his heart, Zhu Youxiao was unwilling to let Ming Dynasty continue to govern the country as a civilian government as it is now.
However, at present, the main educated and capable people in the Ming Dynasty are still concentrated in the class of civil servants and officials;
Zongfan and Wuxun do not have a complete training system, which leads to the fact that there are very few talents who can be used in these classes;
You must know that in other dynasties, many children of the royal family and nobles can carry the banner in the military and political aspects of the empire, and even serve as the pillars of the empire. They have a stronger sense of responsibility for the country than professional bureaucrats. The same was true in the early Ming Dynasty, but only in the current Ming Dynasty, the vassals and nobles have become useless.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao still has to rely mainly on civilian officials.
In Zhu Youxiao's view, the sects and nobles need to be educated and trained. He does not want these people to become wastes who only make money.
Of course, it is not just the education of vassals and nobles that needs to be strengthened.
Education for ordinary people must also be strengthened, or to be precise, popularized.
The unkindness, cruelty and meanness of the ruling class, which does not even regard the people as people like themselves or a species, but only treats them as trivial things, are often condoned by the ruled people themselves.
The common people did not indulge intentionally, but indulged unintentionally. They did not open up their wisdom and horizons with knowledge. They only thought that the masters and princes were really stars in the sky, and they spontaneously had awe of the rulers.
Zhu Youxiao hopes that the people of this era will gradually have the awareness to defend their homeland and the Han family. After receiving a certain amount of education, they can have a sense of honor and pride as Han people, and begin to care about the society and the world. .
But realizing civilian education is not something that can be achieved in one sentence, and it is also a huge financial expenditure.
Zhu Youxiao knew that if he wanted to open up people's wisdom next, he would need to gather more wealth.
It is naturally not enough to attack the rentier class at home.
If most young people want to be free from work and study, either their productivity will explode or they will go crazy to plunder.
The former is obviously more difficult and relies heavily on luck. Although Zhu Youxiao is a time traveler, he cannot immediately click on the technology tree to directly enter the era of the industrial revolution.
The latter is relatively less difficult. After all, the empire Zhu Youxiao inherited is still a powerful empire.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao has already begun to make plans for himself, the emperor, to continue to darken. He will transform into a devil and make people in other civilizations have to suffer tremendous pain because of his ambition.
Zhu Youxiao had no intention of using favors to please the foreigner.
Now he just wants to water his garden with his blood.
Zhu Youxiao's journey back to Beijing went slowly.
Although he really wanted to return to Beijing as soon as possible to meet the queen, meet his imperial heir, and see the "Da Ming Yuan" that he had almost built.
But Zhu Youxiao was not in a hurry to return to Beijing because he had to carefully inspect Qufu and Tianjin in Shandong.
On his way back to Beijing, Zhu Youxiao first came to Qufu, Shandong.
Since the pseudo-Kong clan in Qufu, Shandong was completely eradicated by him, Zhu Youxiao turned this place into his own royal estate.
Therefore, Qufu was the first region to use the form of imperial villages to divide land among the people and establish a contract system.
Most of the fields here used to be the fields of Yan Shenggong Mansion.
In fact, the former Qufu County was an independent kingdom of Yanshengong Mansion.
But now, there are no powerful officials or gentry in this land, they are all ordinary farmers who only need to pay grain directly to the emperor.
Zhu Youxiao used his own internal funds to establish a large number of social studies here. Like other imperial villages, he carried out pilot education for all here and changed the content of education.
All children in Huangzhuang enter school after the age of seven. The schooling lasts for five years. The learning content is mainly Chinese, arithmetic, history, political theory, and martial arts.
Among them, historiography no longer evaluates the quality of historical figures from the perspective of scholar-bureaucrats, but focuses on people such as Wei Huo, Yue Fei, and Xu Da.
Political commentaries emphasize loyalty to the emperor and add the concepts of country and nation, allowing schoolchildren to begin to have national and national consciousness.
The textbooks for these subjects were compiled by Zhu Youxiao and the educated eunuchs in the inner library of the Li Supervisor. They were printed directly with money from his own funds and then used as textbooks for the students of Huangzhuang.
Even the teachers are mainly eunuchs trained in the inner study hall.
There was no way. If Zhu Youxiao wanted to do this through the outer court, he would encounter great resistance. Therefore, he could only implement his educational pilot by using eunuchs from the inner court.
After all, his inner court eunuchs are just his domestic slaves who he can assign directly, and many of these eunuchs are educated, and many even have a high level of education.
Therefore, this has resulted in the fact that the teachers and managers in Qufu are now a group of eunuchs, who are at the same level as other imperial villages.
The only magistrate of Qufu County is Zhang Yunxiu, Bo of Yingshan.
