"The ultimate goal of a corrupt official is to become a slave to the country's subjugation."
In a tea stall at the gate of Nanjing City, Zhang San, a boy over fifty years old, was holding a newspaper and reading it with a slightly trembling voice.
Normally, the newspapers on the tea stall were from two days ago, but the fierce soldier who was standing next to him just handed him a newspaper from today, saying that he was ordered to read it.
As a result, Zhang San started to tremble all over as soon as he read the title.
As we all know, nine out of ten officials are corrupt.
And corrupt officials are the most vengeful. If you read it yourself, you will definitely offend countless corrupt officials, and you will have to be tied to His Majesty's chariot from now on. Serve as His Majesty's pawn.
But if you don't read it, someone will definitely read it, and then you will be disliked by His Majesty. From now on, if the whole clan wants to become an official, it will be a daydream.
After thinking for a while, I balanced the pros and cons. Zhang San wanted to refuse, but when he saw the soldier holding the sword tightly in his hand.
Zhang Sanzui agreed with a smile without the consent of his brain.
Both hands spread out the newspaper without the consent of the brain.
“War is a major national event, a crucial factor in the rise and fall of a country, and the key to the survival of millions of people.
Dynasties have come and gone since ancient times.
At the beginning of the founding of the country, all foreign races surrendered.
The country is about to perish, and the butcher's knife of the foreign race will appear.
The reason is that the army is useless!
At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the south of the Yangtze River could support millions of elites. The soldiers are strong and have sufficient food and grass.
In the first year of Chongzhen, the whole country could not support millions of soldiers!
80% of soldiers are like refugees, their armor is rubbish, and their soldiers are weak!
How can such an army win in war?
The Ming Dynasty was founded with only tens of millions of people, but now the Ming Dynasty has a population of 40 million. Why is the army in such a miserable state?
It boils down to corrupt officials.
Corrupt officials collect money and blatantly help those with huge fortunes to evade taxes under the guise of not competing with the people.
Then he took the opportunity to exploit ordinary people.
Corrupt officials are shameless. They know that the army is the guarantee of national security, but they extend their dog's paws into the army and exploit them at every level, turning Ming Dynasty's millions of elites into waste.
Corrupt officials are immoral. In the face of natural disasters and the people are hungry, these corrupt officials dare to deduct money at all levels.
Natural and man-made disasters forced the people to rebel, the army was abolished, and the country was in trouble.
When aliens come, they will surely be slaughtered.
Looking at ancient and modern times. When a country is destroyed, dog officials will be rampant.
If corrupt officials are not eliminated, sooner or later the country will be ruined and the family will be destroyed!
If corrupt officials are not eliminated, sooner or later the country will be ruined and the family will be destroyed!
If corrupt officials are not eliminated, sooner or later the country will be ruined and the family will be destroyed!
Your Majesty has decreed that from now on, anyone who commits corruption will be killed. Anyone who gives a bribe and fails to report it to the court within three months will be punished with the same crime. This law is listed as the first law of the Ming Dynasty. No future emperor can change it.
.....
"Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty."
"Long live your Majesty, long live your Majesty."
..
The people below heard the news and immediately shouted.
If it's not in its place, it doesn't know how it feels; if it's not in its body, it doesn't know its pain.
If you are not at the bottom, you have no idea of their sufferings, let alone how those petty officials who kowtow to you humiliate the people.
Not to mention how much these people hate the dog officials.
As a person from the bottom of society in later generations, Zhu Youjian knew it very well.
When a country cannot guarantee the integrity of its officials, it has no right to talk about patriotism with the people.
Fate of the nation, everyone is responsible. Then we have to make common people recognize the country, right?
A group of dog officials sit above the temple. They behave like animals every day, and the country doesn't care.
Or maybe the people are being bullied and the country doesn't care. How can the people recognize such a country?
To be honest, if the country is really like this and the country is destroyed, the people will not necessarily be sad, and maybe they will hang whips to celebrate.
After all, in their eyes, they just die.
Even if the new dynasty will slaughter their own, it is better to be buried with those beasts who bullied them than to be bullied by those beasts all the time.
An ancient saying goes: "He who wins the hearts of the people wins the world." Although this is not entirely true, it is certainly true.
If a country wants to continue to develop, it must ensure internal stability.
In order to achieve internal stability, in addition to the central power being strong enough to overwhelm all parties, a certain amount of public support is also required.
The military is strong, and foreigners dare not move.
The people's hearts are stable and there are no worries in the country.
As long as the court always keeps in mind the development of science and technology and at the same time keeps the people at the bottom from being oppressed too harshly, the country will not be in trouble.
.....
Strike first and attack others later.
Although I don't know what the purpose of those behind the scenes is, and I don't know who is behind the scenes this time, but this does not prevent Zhu Youjian from taking revenge first.
After all, if you use your brain, you will know that those behind the scenes can only be those who have vested interests in the past.
Although there are many conflicts within the Ming Dynasty, those are the ones that can really affect the stability of the Ming Dynasty.
As long as Zhu Youjian eliminates those forces that may affect the stability of the Ming Dynasty, even if the mastermind behind the scenes is extremely talented, he will ultimately fail.
"
In the legendary Tianfang Kingdom, there is a pair of divine birds, the male is a phoenix and the female is a phoenix. After reaching the age of five hundred, he burned himself with fragrant trees and was reborn from the ashes of death. From then on, he became extremely delicious and never died again.
Your Majesty has received a decree from heaven. In recent years, there have been natural disasters in the Ming Dynasty. Natural disasters are not the catastrophe of the Ming Dynasty, but the beginning of the Ming Dynasty's rebirth.
Yes, Your Majesty hereby promises:
Within ten years, every citizen must be able to eat at least one dry meal every day.
Twenty years later, everyone will have enough to eat.
Thirty years later, every citizen will be able to buy a new suit of clothes every year.
Forty years later, no one died of starvation or freezing in the Ming Dynasty.
..... "
Having enough food and clothing would be something that anyone in China would be able to do as long as they were not too lazy.
But in the Ming Dynasty and now, for ordinary people. Eating a dry meal every day is an elusive dream.
It is true that there are tax issues,
But in the final analysis, it is still a lack of productivity and transportation capacity.
In the absence of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation technology and other current cropping industry. 80% of the agricultural harvest depends on God.
Coupled with the current cheating transportation situation. Once a large-scale famine occurs, even wealthy officials will lose their skin.
In terms of fertilizers, although Zhu Youjian does not have the ability to produce fertilizers for the time being, since he learned that struvite is a good fertilizer, Zhu Youjian has ordered people to search the islands around Daming.
As long as it is found, it can greatly increase food production.
In terms of irrigation, Zhu Youjian has been constantly building water conservancy projects and digging wells over the years. Although these years have not been of much use due to drought in the north, once the weather returns to normal in the Ming Dynasty, these water conservancy projects will make a huge contribution to the agriculture of the Ming Dynasty.
As for pests and diseases, although Zhu Youjian has no suitable method, the thousands of years of farming history in China are not white.
For thousands of years, farmers have had a complete set of methods to deal with pests and diseases.
Although the effect is not as obvious as that of later pesticides, it even requires a lot of manpower and material resources.
But it still has a certain effect.
Miwei has visited various places over the years and compiled a complete set of planting techniques based on the timing and conditions of each place.
The new technology's output is about five percent higher than the previous one.
Next, as long as suitable farmers are found among the villages to conduct experiments, the appropriate planting technology can be promoted in the shortest time.
Thanks to the efforts of Annan people and the Korean people, large areas of fertile land have been developed in the Annan region.
It was precisely because of this that Zhu Youjian dared to line up the board and make a promise.
Otherwise, wouldn't this be a slap in the face?
As the most powerful person in the Ming Dynasty, if you can't do what you say, where is your prestige? Where is the prestige of Ming Dynasty?
