Yu Qian, Li Xian and Xu Youzhen were walking in the front palace.
All three of them said nothing.
The tears His Majesty shed just now that were not completely shed touched them deeply.
As an official, you can strengthen the country and benefit the people.
Did they really do it?
If the Ming Dynasty really became powerful, why would the people still be unable to survive even one drought...
All three of them knew that the idea of caring for the elderly proposed by Yu Qian just now might be very difficult to implement. Officials at all levels need to be united, which is difficult to achieve in the Ming Dynasty.
Some people often say that scholars should take the world as their own responsibility, but they set their eyes very high. They can only see the glory, but they cannot see the suffering, blood and tears hidden under the glory...
After a long silence, Xu Youzhen asked: "Is it possible to do it to Taibao?"
"feasible."
"But what if the officials don't pay attention?"
"Removal of rotation."
"But the Ming Dynasty was too big. There were too many officials in the two capitals and thirteen provinces, and there was nowhere to investigate."
"Spot check."
"But even if there are random checks, there are still people who are cheating and taking risks out of desperation."
After Yu Qian listened to Xu Youzhen's words, he stopped, then looked at Xu Youzhen and said, "Then it depends on how everyone in the court brainstorms. Xu Du Yushi, you have a flexible mind, think about it tonight."
Xu Youzhen watched Yu Qian speak to herself seriously.
Although he knew that Yu Qian had some changes in his senses, he was still a little uncomfortable with it.
"Yes, Yu Taibao." Xu Youzhen lowered her head and said respectfully.
"Why the hell did I bow to him? Isn't it my duty to fight him?" Maybe Xu Youzhen was also infected.
Li Xian on the side suddenly smiled: "The principles in the world are all determined by the predecessors, and the same is true for the rules. If we can find a way to benefit the people, our life will not be in vain."
Xu Youzhen looked at Li Xian.
When did you integrate into them?
Shouldn't I be the core member of the Three Men's Trio? Why did I end up joining the Three Men who govern the country? I followed the wrong script...
The backs of the three people gradually disappeared into the darkness.
The Tao Te Ching says: I have three treasures, which I hold on to and protect: the first is compassion, the second is frugality, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world. Kindness leads to courage, frugality leads to broadness. Don't dare to be the first in the world, so you can become a leader.
Yu Qian also has a loving heart and frugal behavior, but he does not dare to be the first in the world. It is not that narrow-minded in the literal sense, but he wants people to always maintain this humble heart. Yu Qian also has it.
For the benefit of the people, why not dare to be the first in the world...
In the Palace of Qianqing.
Zhu Jianshen stood up and walked continuously in the palace. He stared at his shoes and then at his extremely luxurious palace.
"I am rich all over the world. It is a gift from God. These gifts should be passed on to the people." Zhu Jianshen stopped and then said to Zhang Bao behind him with a smile.
"Your Majesty has mercy."
In fact, the gift of meat and silver to the elderly at the end of the year was also done during the Hongwu Dynasty, but it was not persisted.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang didn't treat those officials well, he was sincerely kind to the people. Even if this kind of reward no longer existed, he would give it in other ways. However, after the Hongwu Dynasty, this kind of thing has become very common. Less happens.
This kind of thing will drag down the progress of the Ming Dynasty, but in Zhu Jianshen's view, it is not the case. The court's benevolent government is for the entire country. It will affect the army, officials, and even those who have not yet entered the imperial examination. Scholars, of course, the most important thing is to allow the people to truly benefit.
Zhu Jianshen also knew the difficulty.
Things like underreporting and withholding will happen, and the policy needs to be revised every year.
This involves another problem.
Official salaries are too low.
If a large amount of money flows through the hands of low-level officials, will they be interested in it?
Emperor Taizu Gao's method of dealing with corrupt officials was to kill them when they were caught. It seemed effective, but it was a heavy dose of medicine and was not a long-term solution.
High salary and integrity.
But apart from the fact that the market did not recognize banknotes, the Ming Dynasty simply could not afford so much silver to support this incorruptible man.
In Zhu Jianshen's view, the Ming Dynasty's monetary system was too conservative and even a little deformed. Treasure notes were issued, but copper coins and silver could not be exchanged from the court.
Can this currency last for a long time? During the Hongwu period, Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige was too high and he could hold it down. But now that it has developed, Baochao can be said to be a real mess.
The Longqing Switch brought silver to the Ming Dynasty and laid the foundation for the subsequent economic explosion in the Wanli Period.
This is a path that can be taken.
Although the voyages to the West have been suspended for more than 20 years, Ming's shipbuilding technology ranks among the best in the world.
Perhaps he could try to re-open the maritime ban before he takes charge, and then sail to the West. However, this time it is not to bring peace and majesty, but to win over wealth for his own use.
Taking other people's money to do your own things is the right way.
The Roman Empire did it, and so did Xiaomei.
During this period, Ming Dynasty must also do it.
Zhu Jianshen was an angry youth in his previous life and had a very narrow view of the nation. He felt that since our nation has a long history and a long history, it should be the leader of the world. Now that he has the opportunity, he may want to give it a try. .
Increase the research and development of firearms by the Munitions Department, enhance the quality of military leaders, awaken the people's sense of identification with the Ming Dynasty and the nation, make them proud, and let them truly benefit...
Maybe this road is difficult to walk, or it may take many years, but this first step requires someone to take it...
Thousands of strands condensed into a chaotic rope. Zhu Jianshen could only slowly sort out the order, and then find the end.
…………
In an unknown deep house.
One of the most noble duo in the Ming Dynasty, the Supreme Emperor, is indulging himself. The sound of extravagance can be heard in the room...
After a while, it gradually calmed down, and Zhu Qizhen lay on the bed, panting.
"Your Majesty, you said I would follow you. It will be seven years soon. When can we return to the palace." The woman lying next to Zhu Qizhen asked.
Because Zhu Qizhen did not allow people around him to call him Supreme Emperor, except for the eunuchs transferred from the palace and Magistrate Leng, everyone else in the courtyard still had to call him His Majesty.
It seemed like he was just entertaining himself, but no one could say anything.
"I don't know, but I have a hunch that it will be soon, soon."
The woman just sighed after hearing this.
She was originally a maid beside Queen Qian. She ran to the grassland and was favored by the Emperor. She thought that if she survived for a while and the Emperor escaped, she would be able to rise to the occasion and gain the status of a concubine. But in seven years, they Still in the darkness, even if you want to escape, you can't.
She was anxious.
Why is Zhu Qizhen not in a hurry?
But there was nothing he could do to change his situation.
He doesn't even know where he is now.
What's going on in the Ming Dynasty? Doesn't his eldest son miss him? You cry, you make troubles, can't you see your dear father? And your mother, don't you miss yourself too? You have never thought of sending someone to Mongolia to see me. Don’t you realize that you are not in Mongolia?
There were weird things everywhere, even if I asked Magistrate Leng about it, he would keep silent.
Zhu Qizhen was immediately upset and wanted to score twice.
But he was pushed away by the woman: "Your Majesty, I am a little unwell, why don't you go to Sister Zhao's room..."
Zhu Qizhen looked messy. Didn't he just come out of her room? It was all because of physical discomfort.
Zhu Qizhen angrily reprimanded: "How dare you refuse the emperor's favor."
After Zhu Qizhen said this, the woman was shocked and did not dare to say anything more...
Zhu Qizhen felt bitter and depressed in his heart. He didn't know how long he would have to live like this. Will he have to spend his whole life in this deep house...
