"If you understand, then work hard. If you do well, I won't be stingy with rewards."
Although in Zhu Youjian's eyes, these people are despicable. If they don't clean up, they won't know how high the sky is.
But now that the other party has relented, he can no longer be stingy.
Merits must be rewarded and demerits must be punished. This is the foundation for a force to exist for a long time.
How could I break the rules just because of a trivial matter?
You must know that the reason why the law is majestic is that those who offend him, whether you are the emperor, a wealthy businessman, or a poor commoner, will be punished accordingly if you violate the law.
Ruthlessness is the foundation of the majesty of the law.
Once, the law succumbs to background or money.
Then the law becomes bullshit!
The country’s prestige has become bullshit!
Until then!
In the eyes of the people, the so-called law has become a tool to oppress the people.
Why was military discipline so weak in the last years of the dynasty?
Why do so many people still liaise with enemies even though they know that liaison with enemies is a serious crime that will destroy the nine tribes?
Why are the people unwilling to help the country even though they know that after the country is overthrown, people will be inferior to dogs?
Why do people still rebel despite knowing that rebellion means death?
There are many reasons for this, but in the final analysis it is the failure of the law. This led to a loss of popular support.
Laws, enacted or recognized by the state and guaranteed to be implemented by the state's coercive force, reflect the will of the ruling class determined by the material living conditions of a specific society.
A system of behavioral norms with rights and obligations as its content and with the purpose of confirming, protecting and developing social relations and social order that are beneficial to the ruling class.
To put it bluntly. !
The law represents the interests of the ruler, so at the beginning of legislation, ordinary people are already at a disadvantage.
In addition, with the passage of time and the departure of the older generation, the rulers of the country have long forgotten the suffering of the people all over the world.
I have long forgotten the reason why the founding emperor overthrew the previous dynasty at the risk of killing the nine tribes.
So the law was changed when it was supposed to maintain national security and stability.
The law has seriously become a tool for personal gain among powerful people.
In the eyes of ordinary people, dog officials have become tools of oppression.
How can it be possible that people’s hearts and minds will not fade away after this? How can the country survive?
Later generations tend to blame the demise of the feudal dynasty on land annexation.
A large number of landowners annexed land, resulting in fewer farmers, and the state continued to squeeze farmers for tax revenue, further aggravating land annexation.
In the end, there is a vicious cycle. People have no savings in their hands, and they have no choice but to fight back whenever they encounter natural or man-made disasters.
This led to the demise of the country.
But in fact,
No one is a fool, let alone the founding emperor. Don’t they know that the previous dynasty’s demise was due to land annexation?
Are there no corresponding countermeasures to curb land consolidation?
No! Those rulers knew this very well and formulated corresponding countermeasures to prevent land annexation.
But except for the first few emperors who were able to slightly prevent land annexation, the rest of the emperors could only let it go.
Just like the Ming Dynasty, there was a certain scale of tax-free land from the beginning of the imperial examination. The larger the official position, the more tax-free land. This is linked to the official's rank.
The first-grade civil servants of the Ming Dynasty can own up to 1,000 acres of tax-free land (this is the maximum value of personal tax-free land). For land that exceeds the standard of tax-free land for the corresponding grade, even if they are first-grade officials, they still have to pay the corresponding land tax.
But what about the reality?
By the time Zhu Youjian ascended the throne, except for a very small number of honest officials, which first-grade official had less than 10,000 acres of tax-free land?
In the final analysis, it is because of the rampant bending of the law for personal gain that the law has become a piece of shit in the eyes of powerful people.
In addition to making people sick, "this shit" also has the function of fart?
. . . . .
"The customized AFK reward has arrived. Do you want to claim it?"
"I won't collect it yet. I will remind you when I return to the palace."
The rewards given by "Meishan" appeared out of thin air. It would be fine if they were small items and would not be easily discovered if they were hidden in one's sleeves. However, the customized rewards this time were 10 artillery experts, which were 10 living people. There are so many people around, how do you ask Zhu Youjian to explain?
Meishan is Zhu Youjian's biggest trump card, and it must not be exposed!
"Nothing can happen without rules! I am the king and you are the ministers. Even if you encounter problems, you should complete the task first, and then talk to me about the problem.
Or, while completing the task, I find someone to explain the problem to me.
But you did directly reject my mission, and you should be punished according to law! "
"Your Majesty, spare your life."
"However, since this is your first time violating the law, and since Ming Dynasty does not have clear legal provisions, I will give you a lighter punishment this time and change it to 50 military sticks per person. But you look at your thin body. I guess 50 military sticks will be enough for half a person." If all the lives are gone, then we will change it to 2 military sticks per day and finish the fight in 25 days."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"
.....
"Let's go to the capital to observe the people's sentiments."
Zhu Youjian ordered.
The common people have their own sufferings, and the emperor has his own troubles.
As the so-called master of the Ming Dynasty, there are always people who hope that Zhu Youjian will die in the palace compound and never leave the palace once in his life.
Although there are many people who sincerely consider the emperor, most of them hope that the emperor will be blind!
It’s also called it for His Majesty’s safety!
Since the last assassination.
Every time Zhu You checks out of the palace, he must be prepared for calluses on his ears.
For the sake of his own life and to save his ears from suffering, Zhu Youjian rarely leaves the palace.
But Zhu Youjian is a young man in his twenties after all.
Although the palace is large, the gardens are beautiful, and the study is full of books, is it not its own prison?
Staying in the palace for a long time became very uncomfortable.
After finally leaving the palace, how could we not go out for a walk?
No, no, it’s not easy to come out once, how can you not check the people’s sentiments?
What you see with your eyes is not necessarily true, and what you hear with your ears is not necessarily false.
Is the prosperous age in Baiguankou real?
There are still some people who fabricate their words and need Zhu Youjian to come and test them personally.
