No matter what Lao Zhu thought, Zhu Di felt that he understood Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning, and it was better to let the big guys go out and conquer the territory, share the accounts with the court, and then no matter how much trouble he made, no one would care.
The premise is that the rabbits do not eat the grass beside the nest and do not harm the people of the Central Plains.
Got it, isn't this the Liangshan Po that Lan Yu talked about? I bet my father is a big black man, and Mr. Zhang belongs to the role of military advisor, but it is much better than useless, let's call it useful!
This bastard is quite beautiful, but Zhu Xi and Zhu Fan are not so satisfied. Obviously, according to this planning plan, they will only be able to get 500 acres of land after becoming a vassal, and they can only supply some vegetables and grains to the government, leaving the rest
Everything depends on the property allocated by the palace.
This point depends on Empress Ma. The textile factory, quilt factory, and various workshops she owns, if divided among a few princes, would be enough for them to have enough food and clothing.
In fact, there are many designs in it. It is not convenient for Zhang Ximeng to explain them, and Lao Zhu does not want to be a minister and explain them all clearly.
After all, how difficult it is to persuade the emperor to chop his own sons, especially a doting emperor like Lao Zhu!
One thing he failed to do well was to drive a wedge between the brothers of the Tian family. He was treasonous and had ulterior motives. He was simply more terrifying than rebellious ministers and traitors... This was Zhang Ximeng. Not only could he persuade Zhu Yuanzhang, he could also talk to Empress Ma.
It took a lot of effort to convince the couple.
In fact, the mystery lies in the properties allocated to the princes. The farmland is limited to 500 acres, but can there be more forest land, can the water areas be allocated to the princes, and there are also mines, which are the big ones.
Again, is it the blood of the Tian family that really makes it impossible for them to eat or drink?
it's out of the question.
Just try to prevent them from harming the common people.
You should know that it took Zhang Ximeng a lot of effort to persuade Lao Zhu to accept this plan.
He went in in the morning and finalized this part with Zhu Yuanzhang.
Because in Lao Zhu's view, land is the foundation of everything, and his industry and commerce are just accessories. Zhang Ximeng said it nicely, giving property to the princes, but the problem is future generations. If anyone fails to live up to expectations and ruins the ancestors' property, then
what to do?
In Lao Zhu's view, if the princes were given land, no matter what happened, the land would still be there, and no one would be bold enough to seize the Zhu family's land.
In this way, the descendants of the Zhu family will never starve to death.
But if you switch to other industries, it's hard to say. What if you lose everything midway?
There is another problem here. As descendants multiply and the population increases, if the property is only given to one person, what will happen to others?
As a father who thought so carefully about even choosing a name, Zhu Yuanzhang was so thoughtful about the future generations of his family!
Even Queen Ma was dumbfounded and almost couldn't speak anymore.
At this time, Zhang Ximeng was the only one left to turn the tide.
He gave a complete set of plans. First of all, Zongzheng Temple must have control over the property allocated to each feudal prince. Every year, the accounts of the feudal prince's palace must be reviewed by Zongzheng Temple.
If the descendants of the Zhu family, after several generations of reproduction, become too numerous to survive, Zongzheng Temple will have to find a way to coordinate financial resources and provide relief to the clan members according to the situation of each palace.
Zhang Ximeng suddenly gave Zongzheng Temple enough authority, making this yamen no longer a decoration.
In addition, for the descendants of the Zhu family, more room for development should be given. Giving each royal family property will also give their descendants an opportunity.
If you can learn something, make a living by yourself, or even make a fortune, you can take the imperial examination... After three generations, clan members were allowed to take the examination, enter the court as officials, and receive the same treatment as ordinary people, without any restrictions.
But even so, there are those who are unsatisfactory, have no future, and want to sit on their hands... Or what if Zongzheng Temple can't come up with enough money to manage so many Zhu family disciples?
If this were an ordinary person, Zhang Ximeng would have said directly that if he didn't live up to his expectations, he would screw them to death!
But I'm sorry, this is a member of Lao Zhu's family!
Zhang Ximeng had no choice but to come up with an idea: in the future, the vassal king would use troops to seize the land and hand over part of it to the royal family.
Put it in the palace and count it as the royal property.
In other words, the descendants of the Zhu family really have no abilities and must rely on the land to make a living. It is okay to allocate a piece of land to them outside.
Moreover, it would be more convenient for the vassal king to seize the land, enrich the royal estate, and entrust the vassal kings with each other in the future.
If you have the heart to go outside and accomplish something, everyone will be happy.
If not, you can even claim it from a distance and pretend to be sealed.
Then this land can be taken care of by Zongzhengji Temple.
There is no doubt that Zhang Ximeng's plan is tantamount to tying the royal family and foreign troops together.
Because only by continuous development, the royal family will have more and more properties, including Zongzhengji Temple, vassal kings, and this clan system, in order to get the maximum benefit.
In contrast, although the imperial government had great benefits in using troops abroad and expanding territory, it was not as much as the royal family in the end.
Zhang Ximeng also knew that there would be problems, and that it might even cause the clan to grow bigger.
But he had no better way. He could only coax Lao Zhu to finalize the clan regulations to prevent the Zhu family from destroying the land system and ruining the foundation.
As long as Lao Zhu's family does not cause trouble, anyone who wants to destroy the equal land must touch the skull above their neck to see if it still exists!
Moreover, Zhang Ximeng judged that after this rule was adopted, the next step would be to show off each other's talents. To the extent that the clan could make trouble, they would probably lose to the civil servants.
On this point, Zhang Ximeng is very certain.
After all, the Zhu family is a one-person family. If you want to compete with smart people all over the world, you are still overestimating your own abilities.
So after all is said and done, we still have to let Lao Zhu get on the bus.
In a word, Zhang Ximeng has overcome the biggest problem of the clan, and the next thing will be easier to handle.
"We will ask the palace to sort out the land register as soon as possible. From now on, there will be a clear number of fields in the palace and how much is harvested every year. The Ministry of Revenue, and even the whole world, can supervise it. As the emperor, we will take the lead
As an example, from now on, the policy of equalizing land will never be changed. Anyone who violates the rules of heaven will definitely die!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was full of murderous intent, and all the officials were in awe, fear and horror.
Now that the emperor has spoken, starting with the royal family, what else can the others say and can only obey.
However, among the many voices of people obeying the order, one person shouted particularly loudly, and that was Zhu Di.
This kid is just gearing up now. Anyway, no matter how much I pay or how much I divide, as long as I grab enough, I have nothing to be afraid of.
After reaffirming the land system, the remaining issues are simple.
"Come here, bring Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng."
Not long after, someone escorted two people, wandering up,
Not long after they were imprisoned, the two powerful generals in the past became haggard and exhausted, especially Tang Shengzong, who actually had white hair on his temples and forehead.
The back is also bent, there are wrinkles on the face, the walkway is staggering, and everyone is stunned. The national law is ruthless, but it is so terrible?
Many generals can't help but talk loudly.
"The guilty minister pays homage to His Majesty"
Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng knelt down together and kowtowed.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw this in his eyes and pondered slightly, "You call yourself guilty ministers, do you know what crime you have committed?"
"The guilty minister knows! The guilty minister corrupted the land system and annexed the land. The guilty minister deserves to die!" Tang Shengzong prostrates himself on the ground.
Lu Zhongheng immediately said: "I have betrayed my gratitude and taken away the land and corrupted the country's laws. It is not a pity that I should die!"
Both men confessed obediently.
In fact, at this point, there is no point in hiding it anymore.
On the contrary, it is better to be honest, and maybe you can put yourself to death and survive.
Sure enough, seeing how miserable the two of them were, some people couldn't bear it. Several of the military officials wanted to kneel down and plead for them.
But surprisingly, Xu Da didn't move.
Not only did he not move, but he also looked solemn and solemn, and he did not feel that he could be forgiven.
On the other side, Chang Yuchun had blank eyes and said nothing. He had already received a lot of news from his brother-in-law Lan Yu. If they wanted to die, let them die!
It also saves a group of people from using Huaixi to honor themselves and not even looking down on themselves!
Without these two leaders, others who want to speak will not have enough weight.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked around and wanted to pronounce the verdict.
But at this moment, Yang Xian, the imperial censor, suddenly stood up and knelt down to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Your Majesty, I think I deserved to die for corrupting the land system. It's just that the two criminals of Tang and Lu were the first to commit crimes. At this time, I already have the intention to repent. I wonder if I can be more generous and cut off my title! Even so, it is enough to warn the world.
, to warn the ministers."
Zhu Yuanzhang was startled. He was not surprised at all. Yang Xian was so bold that he dared to come out to plead for mercy!
With Yang Xian taking the lead, among the military officials, Wu Zhen, Hua Yun, and a few others also had the intention to move forward and wanted to follow Yang Xian and plead for mercy together.
After all, it's sad when a rabbit dies and a fox dies. They are still not willing to just watch these two people die.
Zhang Ximeng saw all the changes in the court, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, although the second criminal pleaded guilty, this case was sponsored by Mao Xiang, the commander of the Gongwei Department. I think we should listen to his opinion. After all,
The implications of this case are extremely wide and there is no room for carelessness.”
Zhang Ximeng's words disrupted the rhythm of Yang Xian and others. Mao Xiang, who was standing at the bottom of the group of ministers, hurriedly stepped forward.
"Your Majesty, I have found out that Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng killed more than ten people while occupying the fields. In addition, the officials who investigated the case were killed, and the witnesses were killed. They also bribed local officials and tampered with the household registration books privately. I
, I also found many weapons, I think they have rebellious intentions!"
Murder and rebellion are each more terrifying than the next. They really want to drive people to death!
As expected of you, you are much more ruthless than Guo Yingke!
The ministers were also horrified. Zhang Xianggong had reiterated the idea of equalizing the land. The goal was achieved. It may not be impossible to open up the net. Now His Majesty is the only one left.
You, a little guard Si Qianshi, are you worthy of speaking out?
Everyone's eyes instantly fell on Mao Xiang, but this man had a firm attitude and had no intention of changing his attitude.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, "Yang Xian, you are sophistry! Tian Fa has already understood very well before that whoever destroys will lose his head! Let's just open up the net and don't need to peel the last grass. Daming
My honorable nobles, when you get down there, you can’t be treated like a shameless ghost!"
