Ming Dynasty: The Sixth Prince's Secret Thoughts Eavesdropped on by Zhu

Zhu Lu ran like a marquee, and went to Zhu Yuanzhang again.

At this time, it was already dark, and several ministers were reporting to Zhu Yuanzhang.

The ministers who can enter Zhu Yuanzhang's dormitory are not low-level.

When they saw Zhu Hu coming, they saluted one after another.

"I've seen King Wu. "

"I've seen King Wu. "

When Zhu Lu saw that they were born, he responded politely without saying much.

This group of people knew each other very well, and when they saw Zhu Hu coming, they all walked away under the pretext that there was something at home.

Zhu Yuanzhang rubbed his eyebrows and said:

"What can't be done day by day, Lu'er, press the legs of my father. "

Zhu Hu said to the eunuch on the side

"Deaf, what are you doing in a daze, didn't you hear the emperor's leg soreness?"

[You also want me to rub your legs.] 】

[Dreaming.] 】

[I'm tired of a day, I haven't asked you to rub it for me!].

The eunuch was in a dilemma.

Zhu Yuanzhang heard Zhu Hu's heart and said unhappily:

"Let you rub it, everyone else will stand down!".

The eunuchs hurried out of this place of right and wrong.

Zhu Hu had no choice but to reluctantly step forward to rub Zhu Yuanzhang's legs.

"Hu'er, my father asked you something, and you answered truthfully. "

Zhu Hu thought about all the bad things he had done all his life.

He didn't know what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to ask.

Father asked. "

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended not to care and said:

"The gentry you said last time didn't pay for food, who taught you?".

Zhu Hu breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that this was what he was talking about.

He spoke

"Back to my father, this is what the son thinks of himself, and no one teaches me. "

[The interests of those ministers themselves, who will teach me. 】

[It's even more impossible for eunuchs in the palace, Lao Zhu, don't you let eunuchs read and write. 】

[This thing is that you are wrong, the policy of the gentry not paying food is too thoughtless. 】

[I also said it in a hurry, who asked those ministers not to let me be the prince of leisure. 】

Zhu Yuanzhang also breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't Liu Bowen who taught it.

Actually, Zhu Yuanzhang was greatly wronged by Zhu Hu in this matter.

The

gentry's policy of not paying grain was not his intention at all!

The matter can be traced back to the decisive battle with Zhang Shicheng.

At that time, Zhang Shicheng's elite soldiers were no less than Zhu Yuanzhang.

The most important thing is that the officials, businessmen, and wealthy families in southern Zhejiang, Minyue, all support Zhang Shicheng and do not support Zhu Yuanzhang.

One night on the eve of the war, Li Shanchang came to Zhu Yuanzhang's house.

He said that there was a group of old acquaintances in the south, who could abandon the darkness and turn to the light, so that this group of landlords did not give Zhang Shicheng military salaries and food, but came to Zhu Yuanzhang.

The condition is that Zhu Yuanzhang will give preferential treatment to the gentry in the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who is at any time, will not worry too much about this matter.

Because the gentry did not pay food, it was a policy that was a proper official and detrimental to the people.

But a strange thing happened at that time.

A thing that can be said to change Zhu Yuanzhang's life.

Zhu Wenzheng, the nephew of the cousin who made bloody and sweaty contributions in the battle with Hongdu, wants to take refuge in Zhang Shicheng!

This incident affected Zhu Yuanzhang's nerves, and due to the situation, he had to agree to Li Shanchang's conditions.

Otherwise, if Li Shanchang and the others also rebelled, Zhu Yuanzhang would completely become the commander of the light pole!

The Ming Dynasty was newly established, and Li Shanchang got their wish.

The

gentry did not pay food as a national policy.

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang always wanted to limit this matter, because he also knew that it was too unrealistic for the gentry not to pay food.

So Zhu Yuanzhang and the like-minded Liu Bowen secretly wanted to change this national policy.

Later, one day, Zhu Yuanzhang kept silent about it.

He thought of letting his son go to guard the policy of the vassal kings in various places, but this matter was opposed by the ministers, and Zhu Yuanzhang just used the gentry's policy of not paying food and the vassal king's policy to offset each other.

Liu Bowen was full of expectations from the beginning to was completely discouraged later, and it was precisely because he found that one day, Zhu Yuanzhang no longer mentioned to him the matter of opposing the gentry's refusal to pay food.

This is also the reason why at the canonization ceremony a few days ago, Li Shanchang, the head of the hundred officials, never stood up to oppose it.

They have long formed a tacit understanding, the emperor does not mention the gentry and does not pay grain, and the hundred officials recognize the policy of mentioning the vassal king.

A dangerous element suddenly jumped out and said that he couldn't divide the seal, which really scared Li Shanchang half to death.

The same Zhu Hu jumped out and said that he couldn't engage in gentry and not pay food, which also scared Zhu Yuanzhang half to death.

Both sides thought it was arranged by the other.

In fact, Zhu Hu didn't know about this at all, and he also bumped into it by mistake.

When Zhu Yuanzhang got the answer, he was completely relieved.

He was idle, and he asked

"Tell me, if the gentry don't pay for food, how can the scholars in the world be willing to serve us. "

This question bothered Zhu Hu.

It's not that he doesn't know how to answer, but the answer is inconvenient to say to Zhu Yuanzhang.

You can't tell Zhu Yuanzhang that he should be an official for the rise of China.

At this time, the Ming Dynasty had driven out the Tartars and had risen.

Zhu Hu thought about it seriously.

"If a person dies for his confidant, if a person is tested for fame in order not to pay food and not to fill the house, this person is not a gentleman. "

Zhu Yuanzhang said disdainfully:

"In the face of hunger, there is no gentleman who is not a gentleman.

Compared with previous dynasties, my Ming officials are already honest among the incorruptible, and if they don't give some preferential treatment to scholars, they are afraid that they will not even be able to support their wives and children!"

The Ming Dynasty officials' salaries were notoriously low, and the smallest rank was from the ninth rank of officials, and the monthly salary was only five stone meters, which was equivalent to 1,800 yuan.

The county magistrate of Zhengqipin, eight stones per month, folded 2,800 yuan.

It is a fact that the income is low, but with the lack of grain from the land under their name, it is a lot.

Zhu Hu was silent and did not speak, and after a while, he said softly.

"Father, the emperor is just fake and honest, and he will eventually raise a group of real Pixiu.

Putting aside ability, only talking about human nature, there are only a few kinds of people who are officials.

One is bottomless, they will use their position to ask for land from the imperial court, desperate to add property to their name.

One is even more bottomless, simply using power, embezzlement and bribery, one person gains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven.

As for those honest officials with a bottom line and principles, they are often too low and too poor, and they are not treated by the top or their families, and they are finally depressed and miserable for a lifetime.

Should honest people be bullied, and should clean officials starve to death!".

After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed heavily.

"Then tell me what you can do!".

Zhu Hu simply told Zhu Yuanzhang all his inner thoughts.
