“One house, one bed, one clothes, one wife, enough food for every meal, and enough time to see a doctor when you are sick.
When you go out, you won't be bullied by dog officials and local gangsters. When disaster strikes, the court provides disaster relief. Is this what the people want?
No wonder, once a peasant uprising occurs in the last years of the dynasty, even if it is suppressed in time, the country will not last long!
The needs of the people are so simple, and what qualifications does a government have to exist that cannot even meet such simple needs?"
After listening to the newsboy's words, Zhu Youjian suddenly opened his eyes. I suddenly understood many things that I didn’t understand before.
"Hahaha." Zhu Youjian couldn't help laughing.
"Come here Zhu Er, you go buy 10 meat buns." Zhu Youjian pointed to a guard soldier dressed as a servant and said.
Although he traveled secretly to observe the public sentiment, Zhu Youjian knew in his heart that many people wished he would die early. Therefore, Zhu Youjian has never ignored safety.
In addition to wearing a layer of soft gold silk armor under the clothes, 500 imperial guards and 1,000 secret guards were distributed around. Tightly guard Zhu Youjian's safety.
It can be said that as long as Zhu Youjian does not commit suicide, no one can harm Zhu Youjian in this era.
"This is a silver coin, here it is for you." Zhu Youjian took out a silver coin from his arms and handed it to the other party.
"1 silver coin is 100 copper coins, 1 copy of newspaper is 5 copper coins (literary money), 2 copies are 10 copper coins. 3 copies are..."
"One silver coin is 100 copper coins, which is 20 5-copper coins. Just give me 20 newspapers." Zhu Youjian, the newspaper boy, looked at the counting with his fingers and said in a dumbfounded voice.
"If jade is not polished, it will not become a useful tool; if people do not learn, it will not become a useful tool. The road to popularizing education in Ming Dynasty is still far away."
Zhu Youjian became more determined in the determination of all people to learn.
"Here are your ten steamed buns. For a month from today, come here every day at Youshi and look for him. He will give you ten meat buns." Zhu Youjian pointed at Zhu Erdao.
"Thank you, Master. You are so kind-hearted, and you will definitely be rewarded." The newsboy said with a happy face.
...
'Let's go and have a look at Juweizhai. After watching the newsboy go away, Zhu Youjian said to Zhu Er.
"Please come in, please. Do you want a lively or quiet private room?" The waiter shouted enthusiastically as soon as he entered Juweizhai.
"It's not dinner time now. There are so many empty tables in the hall, why do we have to choose a private room?" Zhu Youjian asked curiously.
In later generations, Zhu Youjian often went out to restaurants with friends. Usually, unless there was no room in the lobby, or we actively mentioned it, the waiter would not take the initiative to let us choose to go to a private room.
"My guest, please stop joking. One look at you and you will tell that you are either rich or noble. You are either a coolie in the lobby or a businessman running errands. It is normal for you to be dirty when you leave your mouth. Doesn't it make you dirty in the lobby?" s eyes."
"Sir, what the waiter said makes sense. These rough guys down here will dirty your eyes. Let's go to the private room."
Secret Guard No. 3 said that he was afraid that Zhu Youjian would choose the lobby and cause danger.
“His Majesty once said, “All living beings are equal, but those who betray the country and those who steal the country are despicable.”
Those present are all the people of the Ming Dynasty. According to His Majesty's wishes, everyone is equal. How can we ignore what Your Majesty said because of the shame of our ancestors? "
Zhu Youjian said with a smile.
The main reason I came out this time was because I was disgusted by the behavior of the officials.
In addition, Zhu Youjian discovered that the current secret guards have learned to read the dishes.
Most of the time, only good news is reported, and bad news is reported, unless it makes a big fuss. Or maybe the secret guard will report to him things that Zhu Youjian personally mentioned (or paid attention to).
Although it has been a tradition in China to report good news but not bad news for thousands of years, Zhu Youjian knew in his heart that a thousand-mile embankment will collapse in an ant nest.
It is not the good news that determines the fate of the dynasty, but the bad news that is deliberately hidden.
As for the good news, it has no other effect than making the rulers happy.
Although Zhu Youjian has beaten the secret guards many times, the effect is not obvious. After all, biochemical soldiers cannot be perfectly qualified, and the rapid expansion of the secret guards, the imperfect system, and the erosion of power will inevitably lead to an influx of some. Rat shit.
In this regard, Zhu Youjian had no good solution. He could only punish some people who made big mistakes. to enhance deterrence.
At the same time, we will continue to strengthen basic education and strive to open up people's wisdom as soon as possible.
Because Zhu Youjian knows very well that democracy and the rule of law are the future trend,
However, Zhu Youjian is not a selfish person. Compared with the expected Datong society, Zhu Youjian prefers a constitutional monarchy.
It is different from the king of the island country who is known as the mascot of the Eagle Country in later generations.
The king of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian, still planned to retain some real power.
Therefore, Zhu Youjian must get the support of the people across the country, which requires the emperor to stand on a moral point.
Let the royal family be synonymous with justice.
Let all people know the advantages and disadvantages of the rule of law and the rule of man.
For this reason, Zhu Youjian started planning very early.
Otherwise, after opening up the people's wisdom, the first person to be cheated will be the emperor.
For this reason, Zhu Youjian was removed and he repeatedly preached in newspapers that all living beings are equal, only traitors. Those who steal the country are cheap.
Although it seems to have no effect now, and it still cannot change the four classes of scholars, farmers, industry and merchants in the Ming Dynasty, the seeds of thought have been planted and are only waiting to slowly blossom and bear fruit.
The main purpose of insisting on eating in the hall is that apart from better public security in the capital, Zhu Youjian also wants to hear what the people usually discuss.
What the people care about should also be what the government pays attention to.
Moreover, most of the people who can afford to eat in restaurants are businessmen. In Zhu Youjian's mind, these traveling businessmen are the best informed.
The restaurant in the costume TV series that I often watched in my previous life was an important place for information transmission. Although I may not be able to obtain very confidential information, for Zhu Youjian, I could still get every bit of it.
The most important thing is to give the secret guards a beating and let them know that they are not easy to fool. There are many ways to obtain information besides the secret guards and the royal guards.
"Waiter, here are two bottles of good wine and two pounds of beef." After finding a seat and sitting down, Zhu Youjian said directly.
"Master, you have defeated us. If you wanted it before, you would have found a way. But now that His Majesty has been on the throne for several times, he attaches great importance to the rule of law and hates collusion between government and businessmen.
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, all cattle slaughter must be approved by the government. With our family's little strength, we can only divide up to 3 kilograms of beef a year.
Now let alone 2 kilograms of beef, there is not even 2 taels of beef. How about some pig ears? The braised pig ears made by our chef are amazing. It's soft and crispy when you eat it, and the taste is fresh and not greasy... "
"Okay, let's have a braised pig's ear, then a braised pork, roast duck, honey yams. Arhat prawns..."
"Okay, Sir, it will take about half an hour for the dishes to be served. Do you want to have some snacks to try first?"
"Xiangzhi drink, rose cake, Qiqiao snacks, flowers blooming and rich, everyone can have a portion."
"Okay, Master, I'll go get ready."
"Everyone, sit down. Be more natural. I am now a rich young man who rarely goes out. You are my servants. Why are you standing here? Do you have to ask me to invite you?"
"This" When the secret guard commander behind was still hesitating, the two accompanying guards Zhu Yi and Wei Zhu Er were already sitting on both sides of Zhu Youjian.
The secret guard commander glared at the deputy commander, and then sat opposite Zhu Youjian.
Upon seeing this, the deputy commander of the secret guard hurried out. Within a moment, he took several guards and sat on the table behind Zhu Youjian.
