Go and call the grandson. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Liu Chun's shoulder again, "Accompany me to the Imperial Garden to have a look." ”

As soon as he heard that he went to the Imperial Garden, Liu Chun grinned, Lao Zhu is not called the Imperial Garden, it is called the Imperial Vegetable Garden! In addition to tea tree greens, there are also millet, rice, mulberry hemp, everything, even chickens, ducks, geese and dogs, there are a lot of them.

Liu Chun felt that it was a waste of such a good piece of land.

It's just making dumplings to feed the pigs and spoil things.

But he had no choice but to follow, and halfway through, his grandson Zhu Yunwen hurried over.

Compared with when he was just canonized, Zhu Yunwen is a little taller and more stable, and he looks more like a prince.

"Yun Wei, just now the emperor's grandfather talked a lot with your master, this Ming dynasty is to be handed over to you, in order to make the country for thousands of generations, forever peaceful and prosperous, you must lay a good foundation. Make unbreakable rules. Grandfather Huang plans to let your master take the lead and draft a golden rule of imperial ancestral teachings, as the golden rules that emperors must abide by, what do you think? ”

Zhu Yunwen nodded quickly, "The emperor's grandfather is far-sighted, and the gentleman is eloquent, and the grandson thinks it is very suitable." ”

On the surface, it is no longer clear whether he is happy or opposed, and he can do it quietly, it seems that Zhu Yunwen's skills have indeed risen a lot, and the masters around him are well taught!

"Your Royal Highness, the minister thinks that the emperor's ancestral teachings, although it is an unswerving law, but the things in the world are constantly evolving. With the wisdom of the world, it may not be possible to understand the situation in 100 years. The minister thinks that in the ancestral teachings, there should be two levels, one is the part that must not be changed, and the other is that it can be adjusted and changed according to the situation......"

Zhu Yunwen hesitated: "Sir, since it is an unchangeable law, how can it be changed, this ...... It is difficult for the disciple to understand. ”

It was Zhu Yuanzhang, who said gently: "What Liu Chun said I have also thought about, for example, in the ancestral precepts, I warned the kings of later generations that the emperor's relatives and relatives are guilty, and the heirs will decide themselves." In addition to plotting rebellion and not forgiving, the rest of the offenses, such as the meeting with the relatives in Beijing, and the meeting with the kings and relatives in Beijing, are all taken from the upper judgment. The house where he committed the crime is not allowed to be played by the law division, and he is not allowed to ask questions without authorization. ”

Lao Zhu paused, "I set this rule in the hope that the clan and the royal family can love each other and be harmonious with each other. Wholeheartedly, support the imperial court. But the king of Jin murdered his brother, the crime is extremely heinous, and it is unforgivable! I had to arrest and torture myself and put me to death in prison! ”

mentioned Zhu Li, Zhu Yuanzhang was still furious!

"Therefore, for the emperor's relatives and relatives, we can't blindly connive at them, and we must strictly punish them!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen was secretly happy in his heart, if this is the case, wouldn't the revision of the ancestral training mean that he can cut the feudal domain openly?

This is great!

But Zhu Yunwen also knew that things would not be so simple, so he could only continue to listen.

"Also, the ancestral precepts also mention the country of non-conquest...... This point was refuted by your master at the Longevity Festival! "Old Zhu glanced at Liu Chun, this rabbit cub, since then he has no ancestral training in his mind, it is really hateful!

Lao Zhu snorted angrily: "The new ancestral teachings, for the country that is not conquered, must be reinterpreted, those who follow my Ming can enjoy peace in peace, dare to disobey the Ming Dynasty, and must be severely punished!" ”

Lao Zhu said several more things, and finally arrived at the key place.

"Grandfather Huang plans to change the law, for the mission of his descendants, I must make my Ming country rich and strong."

As soon as these words came out, sure enough, Zhu Yunwen's face changed wildly at first, and then he lifted his robe and knelt in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Yun Wei, what do you mean by this?"

"Emperor Qi's grandfather, grandson thinks there is something wrong with this discussion!"

Lao Zhu frowned, "What do you mean?" ”

"The emperor's grandfather is on top, and the grandson doesn't dare to hide it. Sun Er felt that there was something wrong with the word change. Zhu Yunwen peeked at Liu Chun and found that Liu Chun was light and light, and there was no change, and the smile on his face was still the same, and his heart chuckled.

What Mr. Qi taught himself, don't touch the mold!

Zhu Yunwen gritted his teeth, "Grandfather Qixuan, I am a great country, but the foundation of the emperor's grandfather carrying a three-foot sword." The laws and rules of the Ming Dynasty were all set by the emperor's grandfather. In this case, isn't changing the law the law the law of changing the emperor's grandfather? If it is in the ancestral teachings, it is stipulated that the descendants should change the law, then, where is the ancestral training of the emperor's grandfather, and the grandson really didn't think clearly, and asked the emperor's grandfather to learn clearly! ”

When Lao Zhu heard Zhu Yunwen's words, he didn't say anything, but turned his head to look at Liu Chun, "Master, preaching and receiving karma to solve doubts, Taisun doesn't understand, you, who are masters, should explain clearly." ”

Liu Chun nodded, he knelt down first, and asked Zhu Yunwen to stand up.

Then he smiled and said: "Your Highness, the change of the law that the minister said is actually not the law of changing Your Majesty, but the change of the law that has lasted for 2,000 years since the Qin and Han dynasties. ”

Zhu Yunwen was even more confused, "Sir, since it lasts for two thousand years, why change it?" ”

"Hahaha!" Liu Chun chuckled, "Of course, it's for the sake of the Ming Dynasty!" Because for all dynasties, it was difficult for the imperial power to penetrate into the countryside, and the imperial court lacked real control over the people, so that the prosperous era was only three hundred years. ”

Zhu Yunwen seemed to have an understanding, but he was puzzled: "Sir, the disciple still doesn't quite understand, the so-called chaos and governance, prosperity and decline, this is the principle of heaven since ancient times, how can you use manpower to resist?" As the Son of Heaven, he can only cultivate virtue and love the people, and try his best to prolong the country, so that he is a benevolent monarch. ”

Liu Chun said: "Your Highness, you have asked the key point again, why there is a cycle of chaos, alternating prosperity and decline. The minister thinks that although there is a mandate of heaven, in the final analysis, it lies in the annexation of land, and for thousands of years, all dynasties and dynasties have revolved around the land. The minister felt that the most important point in the establishment of the emperor's ancestral precepts this time was to clarify the ownership of land! Strictly put an end to mergers! Fundamentally, solve the possibility of the gentry profiting from the land! ”

Zhu Yunwen became more and more surprised, "Sir, what are your plans?" ”

"After clearing the acres of land, Ding Yin is included in the field tax, so that the fixed amount of tax on a piece of land will be determined. The land can be bought and sold, but the tax remains the same. In other words, the more land the gentry annexed, the heavier the taxes they bore. And you can also set an upper limit, for example, if you exceed 1,000 mu, you need to burden double the field endowment, 3,000 mu, and then double! In this way, even if someone is willing to annex the land, there is nothing but the land that can afford it. ”

When Liu Chun said this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed loudly, "Liu Chun, you really have you!" This trick is really ruthless! But I think it's good! I read your discussion in Changsha, and I mentioned this. That's exactly what you're going to do! ”

Liu Chun hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, it's not the minister's plan, but whether Your Majesty has the courage to do this!" ”

Lao Zhu smiled: "You kid dare to use the radical method with me?" Tell you, I don't dare to do anything, inhibit the merger, let the Ming Kingdom last, and I have nothing to fear! This article must be written in the ancestral teachings, and all children and grandchildren must be told that whoever dares to destroy it will not be spared! ”

It is true that Liu Chun's method still can't really be done once and for all, after all, the people are multiplying and the number of people is increasing, and the land will still be insufficient, but it has curbed the emergence of large landlords and retained homesteaders to the greatest extent.

This is a very large chassis, which is the foundation of the country.

The so-called yeoman farmers can actually be regarded as small landowners, and small landowners can be classified as petty bourgeoisie, and can barely be equated with the petty bourgeoisie and middle class. And as we all know, in order to maintain social stability, a large middle class, is very important, that is, the so-called ideal spindle social structure, large in the middle and small at the ends.

This set of theories was brought in from the outside, and it immediately became lofty.

In fact, in ancient times, there was soil and wealth, and the mergers were suppressed in the past dynasties, isn't it just to protect the homesteaders in the middle! That is, the majority who maintain social stability.

And what is land annexation, isn't it that a very small number of people have become super rich, while the vast majority of peasants, losing their land, have become tenant farmers and displaced people, that is, from an olive-shaped society to a dumbbell-shaped society...... Then the bottom couldn't bear it, so they rose up and changed the dynasty.

Speaking of which, we have a long history, there are too many lessons to be learned, read through the accumulation of 5,000 years, and look back at those foreign things, there is really nothing profound to speak of.

Liu Chun accompanied Lao Zhu and walked in the imperial vegetable garden, talking a lot, and the framework of the entire Emperor Ming's ancestral training had already come out. Zhu Yuanzhang is very satisfied.

"Yun Wei, the emperor's grandfather sent Liu Chun to you as a master, because he has the talent to go through the heavens and latitudes, and the one who conspires is deeply in line with my intentions. You have to listen to Liu Chun's opinion more, he doesn't have so many selfish intentions! ”

was praised by Lao Zhu in person, Liu Chun was still a little surprised, is this still the old Zhu who scolds him all the time? How is it like a different person?

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted vigorously, "Is your kid tight, I have to scold you to be comfortable!" Right? ”

Liu Chun hurriedly shook his head and said, "Minister, the minister just feels that he has not done enough!" ”

"Then you have to do your job! I went back and prepared the ancestral teachings for me and sent them to the palace. ”

"Obey." Liu Chun said again: "Your Majesty, the minister is alone, I'm afraid it will be difficult to do it, I don't know if the minister can find a few helpers?" ”

"You just have to look for it." Lao Zhu did not hesitate and quickly agreed.

Liu Chun smiled at Zhu Yunwen and said: "His Royal Highness Taisun, Master Qi Taiqi, he is cautious and careful, since he became an official, he has never made a mistake, this person is the best candidate to draw up the ancestral training!" ”

"Yes, yes!" Zhu Yunwen barely squeezed out a smile, "Since Mr. said it, it won't be wrong, I'll tell Mr. Qi when I go back, and he will readily agree when I think about it." ”

Zhu Yunwen said this on his lips, but his heart was turbulent, like a boiling pot...... Could it be that Liu Chun already knew that Mr. Qi had helped him a lot, and he wanted to be unfavorable to Mr. Qi?

But he shouldn't have let Mr. Qi participate in the drafting of the ancestral teachings, what did Liu Chun think?

Zhu Yunwen was confused......
