First Minister Section 456
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 business is just an accessory.What Zhang Ximeng said sounds good, to give the princes an inheritance, but the problem is for future generations, what if someone fails to live up to their expectations and ruins the ancestor's inheritance, what should we do?
From Lao Zhu's point of view, no matter what happens to the princes, the land is still there, and no one is bold enough to invade the Zhu family's property.
In this way, the descendants of the Zhu family will never starve to death.
But it's hard to say if it's changed to another industry. What should I do if I lose all halfway?
There is another problem here. The descendants multiply and the population is increasing. If the industry is only given to one person, what should the others do?
As a thoughtful father who even thought of a name, Zhu Yuanzhang thought of his family's offspring so thoughtfully!
Even Empress Ma was dumbfounded, almost speechless.
At this time, only Zhang Ximeng was left to turn the tide.
He gave a whole set of plans. First of all, Zongzheng Temple must control the property distributed to each vassal king, and Zongzheng Temple must review the accounts of the vassal prince's mansion every year.
If the descendants of the Zhu family, after several generations of reproduction, are too numerous to survive, the Zongzheng Temple must find a way to coordinate financial resources to help the clan members according to the situation of each palace.
All of a sudden, Zhang Ximeng gave Zongzheng Temple enough power to make this yamen no longer a decoration.
In addition, for the descendants of the Zhu family, it is necessary to give more space for development, and to give each royal family property is also to give their descendants a chance.
It is okay to learn something, earn your own living, even get rich, and take the imperial examination... After three generations, clan members were allowed to take the exam, and they were treated like ordinary people as officials without any restrictions.
But even so, there are those who are not up to date, those who are not promising, and those who want to sit on the mountain... Or Zongzheng Temple can't afford enough money, so what should I do if I can't manage so many Zhu family children?
If these were ordinary people, Zhang Ximeng would have said directly that if he didn't live up to his expectations, let them die!
But I'm sorry, this is from the old Zhu's family!
Zhang Ximeng had no choice but to come up with an idea, that is, in the future, the vassal king would use troops abroad to seize the land, and he would turn 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 don't have any skills and must rely on the land to support them. It is also possible to allocate a piece of land outside for them.
Moreover, it will be more convenient for the vassal king to take over the land and enrich the royal industry, and it will be more convenient to subdivide the vassal king in the future.
If you have the heart to go outside and do something, then everyone will be happy.
If not, you can even claim it from a distance and make it false.
Then this piece of land could be in the charge of Zongzheng Temple.
There is no doubt that Zhang Ximeng's plan is tantamount to binding the royal family and foreign soldiers together.
Because only by continuous development, there will be more and more royal industries, including Zongzheng Temple, vassal kings, and this clan system can get the greatest benefits.
In contrast, although the imperial government has great benefits in using troops abroad to expand territory, it is not as much as the royal family after all.
Zhang Ximeng also knew that there would be problems, and even if it was not done well, it would cause the clan to grow bigger.
But he has no better way, he can only coax Lao Zhu first, and finalize the clan regulations, so as to prevent the Zhu family from destroying the land system and ruining the foundation.
As long as Lao Zhu's family doesn't cause trouble, anyone who wants to destroy Juntian has to touch the skull above his neck to see if it still exists!
Moreover, Zhang Ximeng judged that with this rule in place, the next step would be to show off their skills. To what extent the clan could make trouble, it was estimated that they would lose to the civil servants.
On this point, Zhang Ximeng is very sure.
After all, the Zhu family is a one-person family. If you want to compete with the smart people in the world, you still overestimate your own ability.
So after all, I still have to let Lao Zhu get in the car.
In a word, Zhang Ximeng has overcome the biggest problem of the clan, and the next thing will be easier.
"We will ask the palace to clean up the property register as soon as possible. From now on, there will be a clear number of how many fields there are in the palace, and how much they will be harvested each year. The household department, and even the whole world, can supervise them. As the emperor, we will take the lead Set an example, from now on, the policy of land equalization must never be changed. Anyone who touches the rules of heaven will surely die!"
Zhu Yuanzhang was full of murderous aura, and all the officials were awe-inspiring, and all of them were terrified and horrified.
Now that the emperor has spoken, starting with the royal family, the others have nothing to say but obey.
However, among the crowd of voices who obeyed the order, there was one person who yelled particularly loudly, and that was Zhu Di.
This kid is now only gearing up.Anyway, no matter how much I pay or how much I get, as long as I grab enough, there is nothing to be afraid of.
After reaffirming the land system, the remaining issues are simple.
"Come here, bring Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng up."
Not long after, someone escorted the two of them, wobbly, came up,
The two powerful generals who used to dominate the battlefield were imprisoned for a short time, and they were haggard and exhausted, especially Tang Shengzong, who had gray hair on his temples and forehead.
His back was also bent, his face was wrinkled, and he was staggering in the aisle. Everyone was stunned when he saw it. The law of the country is ruthless, so it is so terrible?
Many generals can't help but speak loudly.
"Criminal minister pays homage to His Majesty"
Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng knelt down together and kowtowed.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw it in his eyes, and pondered slightly, "You call yourself criminal ministers, do you know what crime you have committed?"
"The guilty minister knows! The criminal minister corrupted the land system and annexed the land. The criminal minister deserves to die!" Tang Shengzong obediently prostrated himself on the ground.
Lu Zhongheng immediately said: "Being ungrateful, he also confiscated the land, corrupted the national code, and the minister's death is not a pity!"
Both men obediently pleaded guilty.
In fact, at this point, there is no point in concealing it any longer.
Instead, it's better to be honest, maybe you can put it to death and survive.
Sure enough, seeing the two of them in such misery, some people couldn't bear it. Among the military officials, several wanted to kneel down and intercede for them.
But surprisingly, Xu Da didn't move.
Not only did he not move, but he also looked dignified and serious. He didn't think he could be forgiven.
On the other side, Chang Yuchun's eyes were empty and he didn't say anything.He has already received a lot of news from his brother-in-law Lan Yu, if they want to die, let them die!
It also saves a group of people from pretending to be Huaixi nobles, and even ignoring themselves!
Without these two leaders, other people would not have the weight to speak up.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked around and wanted to pronounce a sentence.
But at this moment, Yang Xian, the imperial historian, suddenly stood up and knelt down to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Your Majesty, I think that if you corrupt the land system, you really deserve to die. It's just that the second offender, Tang Lu, committed the crime first. At this time, you already have the intention of repenting. I secretly wonder if you can make a difference and cut off your title! Even so, it is enough to warn the world. , warn the ministers."
Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback, but he was not surprised by anything else. Yang Xian was so bold that he dared to intercede!
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 intercede together.
After all, the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and they were still unwilling to just watch these two die like this.
Zhang Ximeng saw all the changes in the people in the court, and he immediately said: "Your Majesty, although the second criminal pleaded guilty, the case was sponsored by Mao Xiang, the commander of the guard department, and I think it is better to listen to his opinion, after all This case involves a lot, and it cannot be sloppy."
Zhang Ximeng's words disrupted the rhythm of Yang Xian and others. Mao Xiang, who stood at the end of the group of officials, hurriedly stood up.
"Your Majesty Qizuo, I have already found out that Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng killed dozens of people while occupying the fields. In addition, the officials who investigated the case were killed and witnesses were killed. They also bribed local officials and tampered with the yellow register of household registration. , I also found a lot of weapons, I think they have the intention of treason!"
Murder and treason, one scarier than the other, really want to drive people to death!
As expected of you, you are much more ruthless than Guo Ying!
The ministers were also shocked. Mr. Zhang had already reiterated the equalization of the land, and the goal had been achieved. It may not be impossible to make an exception. Now only His Majesty is left.
You, a little guard secretary, are also worthy of speaking out?
Everyone's eyes fell on Mao Xiang in an instant, but this man's attitude was firm and he did not intend to change his attitude at all.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Yang Xian, you are just a sophistry! The previous field law is very clear, whoever destroys it will lose his head! Let's make an exception and don't have to peel the last grass, Daming Your noble, you can't be a shameless ghost when you get down here!"
"Let's disperse!"
Chapter 635 Xiuchun Knife, Unsheathed
,!
Zhu Yuanzhang came down from Fengtian Palace, turned to the back, and found that Empress Ma was already waiting here.Looking at the empress's appearance, she is like a spring breeze, with a pleasant smile, obviously, she is very satisfied.
Empress Ma is not a person who likes money. She was forced to help Lao Zhu to take care of military supplies, so she was busy with these things and acquired a lot of property.
In all fairness, Mrs. Ma is more willing to give up these messy things, take good care of the children, and live a stable life.
This time, Ma was very satisfied with the plan to distribute the property in the palace to the princes.
As a mother, it is only natural for her to give the children some property so that they can survive.
There is no need to ask for money from the court, and there is no need to rob the people. Empress Ma thinks there is nothing better than this, and it is difficult for Mr. Zhang to come up with it.
But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't see it that way.
"Sister, let's see this is the master's conspiracy, he is plotting against us!"
Empress Ma gave him a blank stare, "If you think Mr. Zhang is a traitor, you might as well arrest me. If I hadn't talked too much back then and you didn't save him, maybe you, Zhu Chongba, would go to heaven and become the Jade Emperor. That would be great." ah!"
Lao Zhu made Empress Ma lose his temper, but he couldn't get angry yet, so he could only explain patiently.
"Sister, think about it. When Biao'er went to Beiping, he fiddled with the salt field and created the Chinese method. Now let the vassal king accept the property, what is he planning? Why not let the prince do business."
Empress Ma really didn't like to hear it, "How about doing business? I know, you are looking down on me. It's obviously an excuse to do business or not. You just think I'm old and you want to find someone younger."
My goodness!
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless. I don't know when women learned this trick. Anyway, Lao Zhu has no idea at all.
"Sister, stop talking nonsense. It's not that we dislike doing business, but we just don't understand whether doing business is a good thing..."
Empress Ma took a deep breath, and said with a smirk, "That Mr. Zhang can still harm you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "You can't think about it like this. Of course, Mr. Zhang won't harm us, but sometimes he has his own plans. Don't be fooled by him. Sometimes, Mr. Zhang is very scheming!"
Empress Ma blinked, but she couldn't tell a lie, Zhang Ximeng was amazing, needless to say.Making plans and making use of strength, up to now, most of Ming's national policies are following Zhang Ximeng's plan.
"Chongba, then tell me, what can you do? Is it possible that you still want to attack Mr. Zhang?"
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, "What are you thinking! Mr. is naturally a minister who seeks the country, and we have no other intentions. I just want to let him have a closer relationship with us, and we don't need to hide some things from us."
Empress Ma thought for a while, then pondered, "Then what are you going to do?"
"We, we plan to get married to Mr. Zhang! You know, we have calculated for such a long time, but we haven't counted Zhang Shuning in our hands. You say, if he becomes an in-law with us, it will be more at ease. "
Empress Ma rolled her eyes, she also likes Zhang Shuning's child, but there is no fate, what else can she do?
"Chongba, you're not playing with Zhang's second child, are you?"
Zhu Yuanzhang laughed suddenly, "Sister really understands our heart. The second child of this family has been born for a long time, and will soon respond to the sky with his mother. At that time, sister will spend more time. This marriage must be done It's done."
Mrs. Ma nodded, "Okay, I dare not say whether it will be possible or not, but I advise you, don't think about it all the time. I guarantee that a bowl of water will be level for the things that should be given to a few children, and the rest will be fine." Same, don't make things difficult for you."
With Empress Ma here, there was indeed less trouble, and Zhang Ximeng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
He had just returned to the mansion, rested for a while, and ran through today's events in his mind to see if there were any omissions.
This is also a habit of Zhang Ximeng. Every time something important happens, he has to think over and over again to ensure that there are no mistakes, and if there are any, he will make up for them in time.
After the self-examination was completed, Zhang Ximeng was going to have dinner when an unexpected guest, Lan Yu, came again.
Zhang Ximeng hated this kind of familiarity, but one after another, he didn't have the slightest idea.
"What are you doing here again?"
Lan Yu laughed and said, "Master Zhang, you said that King Yan was in the hall, and that sentence was pretty good, right?"
Zhang Ximeng gave him a blank stare, "You think it's pretty good, don't you? Zhu Di can say whatever he likes, and he can influence the overall situation? Teach him that if it gets to His Majesty, he might suspect that I'm playing tricks! No. , Your Majesty is probably going to be on guard against me now, what a bad idea! You are self-defeating and smart!"
"what!"
Sapphire was taken aback, wouldn't it?
"Zhang Xiang, I'm really doing it for your own good! I also hope that His Majesty will allow the vassal king to use troops abroad... Think about it, how capable are those princes? It's up to me in the end!"
"Dream!" Zhang Ximeng said mercilessly: "Don't be too arrogant, others don't say, just King Yan, I think he can surpass you in the future!"
Sapphire was even more surprised, would it?
As far as Zhu Di's virtue is concerned, the bear child is possessed, and the bear has reached the North Pole. What else can he achieve?
Zhang Ximeng just didn't bother to talk nonsense, "You came to show your merits, but you actually caused trouble, and I don't bother to talk nonsense. Just don't pretend to be smart in the future. There is nothing left, so you can go down!"
