Chapter 3
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang and others fell into silence for a while.
“land annexation……”
Zhu Yuanzhang’s face, which was full of anger, froze for a moment.
He comes from a farming family, so he naturally deeply understands the dangers of land annexation.
My family is the same as those rebellious comrades. We have no land and no food to eat, so we can only rebel.
However, there were too many bad policies in the Yuan Dynasty, and it seemed that every one of them was enough to lead to the country’s collapse.
Even if he summed up the lessons of Yuan’s death, he could never find the so-called essential reason.
The death of the Yuan Dynasty can only be crudely attributed to the Yuan Dynasty’s cruelty and abuse of the people.
But now the word”land annexation” is a word that wakes up the dreamer!
So many bad policies are not the root cause. In the final analysis, it is because the people have no land to farm and the gap between the rich and the poor is too big that they rise up!
“In the upper position, this man is deceiving the public with his evil words. Our dynasty is destined by destiny. How can it be the same as the previous dynasty! I will behead this man right now!”
But Mao Xiang suddenly panicked. He didn’t even dare to listen to such talk of national subjugation!
“What to chop! Can’t we even hear a little truth?”
Zhu Yuanzhang scolded him with an angry expression.
He followed him and looked at the wall, as if he could see the two people on the other side of the wall, and said in a deep voice:”And what this person said is not unreasonable.……”
“ah? Then this……”Mao Xiang hesitated for a while, should he kill this person?
“Shut up and keep listening. Zhu Yuanzhang’s eyes flashed:”Let’s see what other arguments he has. If this is all, then……”
“Wei Chen understands!”
Mao Xiang responded quickly. There is no doubt that if this person has no real information, then his fate is self-evident.
But at this time,
Zhu Di was already dumbfounded, and the hand holding the wine glass suddenly froze. , the wine was spilled, but he didn’t know it.
After a while, he spoke with difficulty:”So, the root of the Ming Dynasty’s collapse was already planted at the beginning of the founding of the country.”
“But why is this… I have a large area of land in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no excessive sealing like the Yuan Dynasty.……”
Zhu Heng drank a glass of wine and said with drunken eyes:
“Believe it or not, it’s up to you, but this is a historical trend and has little to do with whether or not the seal is abused.”
“Just imagine, the income of a farmer for one year is more than the rent collected by a small landowner.”
“Every natural disaster will cause farmers to sell land, landlords to buy land, and land annexation will happen faster and faster.”
“So whether you believe it or not, I advise you to first accumulate more wealth for your children and grandchildren. Since you can’t escape, at least don’t let your children and grandchildren become the ones who are annexed.……”
Zhu Di swallowed hard, and before he knew it, a thin layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. At this time, he was more than half awake from the wine.
He was a little lost and even forgot to drink wine:”But how could this happen? The prosperous age has just begun.……”
Zhu Heng drank another glass of wine and smiled with emotion:”This is the law of dynasty cycle. The powerful men in the prosperous Tang Dynasty are no exception. There is nothing that can be done about the reincarnation of Emperor Qin and Han Wu.……”
Dynastic Periodic Law?
“This guy has such a big tone!”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned. He was summing up the rise and fall cycles of the past dynasties into a pattern.
This tone was too loud, as if God looked down on China’s thousands of years of history and gave a final conclusion!
And in his words, he actually Even Emperor Qin and Emperor Wu of Han didn’t take it seriously!
“This person is arrogant!
Mao Xiang immediately said angrily:”How dare a commoner speak such arrogant words? This person is disrespectful and should be put to death!””
“No hurries! Zhu Yuanzhang said in a cold voice:”Arrogance also requires arrogance. Although this dynasty’s cycle is loud, if you think about it carefully, there is some truth.……”
“ah?”
Mao Xiang was stunned. How could a powerful master like Zhu Yuanzhang be easily offended?
This small landowner spoke arrogantly, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not kill him. He actually thought what he said made sense…
Could it be that Zhu Yuanzhang was really impressed by this man’s few words? , even moved to love talents?
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him lightly:”Why, do you think we will let him go?
Mao Xiang suddenly broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly knelt down:”The humble minister who presumed to test the Sacred Heart deserved death!” Zhu
Yuanzhang snorted coldly:”So you can only be a martial artist. If Liu Bowen were here, he wouldn’t guess our thoughts randomly.””
“Whether you should let him go or not depends on whether he has real material!”
“The water of the Yellow River is turbid and the water of the Yangtze River is clear, but as long as it is useful to the Ming Dynasty, we don’t care whether it is a clear stream or a turbid stream. Even if he is a villain, as long as what he says makes sense, then use it!”
“Wise in superior position……”
Mao Xiang said quickly.
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him and just continued to glance at the manuscripts on the table. Unknowingly, he had just written down a stack of paper.……
“Let’s take a look……”He picked up the pen again:”What else does this person have to say?”
At the same time.
Zhu Di swallowed his saliva with some difficulty and said:”Brother, if our Ming Dynasty restrains mergers, can we break out of this dynasty cycle law?”
“You still suffer the disadvantage of being uneducated. Anyone who reads history books can’t say this.……”
“ah?”
“Is it still the same sentence? Looking at the essence through the phenomenon, what is the essence of land annexation? It’s an unfair distribution of power!”
Zhu Heng’s hazy drunken eyes revealed a look of regret:
“Our Majesty sets the national policy, and officials and gentry are exempted from military service.……”
