Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed Chapter 82 Are you going to use this to test officials? How many officials can withstand the test?
Chapter 82 Are you going to use this to test officials? How many officials can withstand the test?
Zhu Yuanzhang sat here, looking at Han Cheng who was also sitting opposite him, waiting for Han Cheng to speak and continue.
He was holding back some energy in his heart.
I still don't believe it. The system that I and many ministers have carefully worked out based on the previous dynasty is not easy to use.
It will really have such a bad impact on future generations!
The ancestral precepts and other things I thought about were sieved by the worms of later generations, so I won’t talk about them anymore.
This household registration system is not easy to exploit!
Anyway, he thought quickly and couldn't figure out what means future generations could use to make holes in his household registration system!
Even if they try to exploit it again, there must be a limit.
It won't be as outrageous as my ancestral precepts!
At least it will never be as serious as what Han Cheng showed at this time.
Han Chengdao: "The military household system was indeed very easy to use at the beginning.
It can save a lot of money for the court.
Extremely effective in solving the food problem.
But later on, things changed.
The land in the guardhouse was sold off in large quantities and plundered through various means.
As a result, a large number of military households had no land for farming.
At the same time, the officers of each guard station also squeezed the military households crazily, turning many military households into their personal slaves.
All kinds of life and death.
And because of the restrictions on military households, these military households who lost their land had no way to make a living elsewhere.
Therefore, one can imagine how miserable each and every one of them was being exploited.
Later, a large number of people fled their homes.
Fugitive households are military households who were exploited too hard and couldn't survive, so they had to abandon their original identity and become refugees, or they fell into trouble and became bandits..."
Han Cheng's words soon shattered Zhu Yuanzhang's confidence into pieces.
Emperor Hongwu, who couldn't bear the sand in his eyes, soon got tired of it again.
"How could it be so? How could it be so? How dare they?!
These military households, these soldiers and horses are used to protect the Ming Dynasty and protect the rivers and mountains!
Only with strong soldiers and horses can the Ming Dynasty not be troubled by foreign enemies!
Without so many soldiers, once a foreign enemy invades, the people will definitely be in dire straits!
Many people can’t find a good one!
How dare these people do this?
How can you be so short-sighted?!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was cold, containing endless anger, and his chest was heaving.
When Zhu Yuanzhang felt the need to hide his emotions, he would naturally be able to hide them in a watertight manner.
For example, after fighting with Li Shanchang and others and creating an empty seal case, the anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart obviously did not disappear, but when facing Li Shanchang, he was able to do everything perfectly.
Let Li Shanchang relax his vigilance and think that the matter is over...
Of course, there are not many moments when Zhu Yuanzhang can be like this. Normally, he likes to follow his own temper, laughing when he is happy and scolding when he is angry.
If you still don't feel relieved after scolding, then start killing people!
But in Han Cheng's case, Zhu Yuanzhang obviously didn't feel that he needed to do that trick to show off his city.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang, who was so confident just now and very confident in the household registration system he had formulated, was now so angry that he started slamming the table and scolding his mother, Han Cheng suddenly felt relieved.
"Your Majesty the Emperor, do you think those people really don't dare?
What are they afraid of?
As the founding emperor, you have already made various regulations and adopted various means to punish corrupt officials.
All the peeling and solid grass are used, but are there no corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty?
There must still be some, and there are quite a lot of them.
Generally speaking, in a dynasty, the emperor has the most authority and can best suppress the arrogant soldiers and powerful ministers under his command, and the period of the civil and military ministers is when the founding emperor is still there.
The authority of the emperor who came to the throne through battles was far more majestic than those who obtained the throne through inheritance.
But now, under your rule, His Majesty the Emperor, if this is the case, then in the future, there is no need to think too much about what those people will be able to do.
Their courage has always been very great.
As for family and country affairs and the overall situation, it has nothing to do with them.
They just want to line their own pockets, bite some meat from the imperial court, and fill their own stomachs, that's all.
After all, only a few people have a view of the overall situation, and even more so they are short-sighted.
Perhaps, we cannot say that they are short-sighted.
There are also many people who actually know that doing this is wrong, but others have done it, so if they don’t do it themselves, isn’t it bad?
Is it too much of a disadvantage?
The temptation is too great and the risk is too small. It is difficult for officials to withstand the test if we use this to test them.
There are too many people who know their mistakes and make mistakes, but feel regret while continuing to make mistakes..."
When Han Cheng said this, he couldn't help but think of his own experience in later life, when he was wasting time by watching videos or playing games, and he felt anxious and regretful, and he couldn't stop playing at the same time...
As Han Cheng spoke, Zhu Yuanzhang felt angry in his chest for a moment.
Military households have such an important existence, which is related to the safety of the country, yet they are treated in this way.
As for civilian households and craftsmen households, you don't need to think too much to know that their lives will definitely not be very good.
While his chest was full of anger, he was also hit hard.
This household registration system was carefully researched by myself and others.
I was very proud before, thinking that through this method, I would be able to protect many people and enable them to have a relatively stable life.
It can also maintain the stability of the Ming Dynasty to the greatest extent.
But in the end, this system was riddled with holes!
It has long since lost its original intention of setting it up in the first place!
Is this so possible?
How could this be?
Zhu Yuanzhang felt a little confused in his head for a while.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang was a very confident person.
But now, after seeing Han Cheng one after another and learning what his proud work turned out to be, Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked and became a little less confident.
Is it really wrong to do this?
He fell into confusion.
My mind was very confused for a while.
After doing this for a while, he looked at Han Cheng and said, "Could it be that the policies we formulated are really so useless?"
Han Cheng shook his head and said: "That's not the case, Your Majesty, many of the policies you have made are actually very effective.
For example, the household registration system you established, although later, various drawbacks appeared.
But it is undeniable that it played a significant role in the internal stability of the Ming Dynasty.
Without the various policies you formulated, the Ming Dynasty would have been like that, and it would have been difficult to survive for more than two hundred and seventy years."
After listening to Han Cheng's words, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed confused. How could it have such an effect?
Obviously later on, the policies I formulated had so many shortcomings!
If there were not so many shortcomings, would Ming Dynasty be able to exist longer?
Vaguely, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have caught something.
But soon, he fell into deeper confusion.
How easy is it to formulate a policy that can break the three-hundred-year curse of the dynasty?
Han Cheng has proven that many of his proud works, which he thinks are very good, often become crooked within a few decades.
"Your Majesty, in fact, you have fallen into a very serious misunderstanding on this matter..."
After hearing what Han Cheng said, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly raised his head and looked at Han Cheng, wanting to see what Han Cheng would say next!
