Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

"Kill them! Kill them! Kill them!"

The soldiers were angry, couldn't help waving their weapons, and started shouting chaotically.

After a while, the chaotic sounds merged into a torrent:

"Kill them!"

"Kill them!"

……

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Zhu Youjian coughed violently.

The shouting was so exciting that he panted for a while before he could catch his breath.

The emperor took a sip of water to calm his excited heart. He raised his hands, and the whole place roared with anger. In an instant, there was silence, and you could hear a pin drop.

Zhu Youjian continued to yell:

"There are no gentry who are starving to death in the world, but the bones of common people are everywhere!"

"Is this normal?"

Zhu Youjian looked around and saw that all the soldiers straightened their backs and all the generals stood solemnly.

You are using actions to show your attitude!

Zhu Youjian roared:

"This is not normal!"

Under the morning sun, the early summer wind swept up the brand-new Great Ming Dynasty sun and moon flag.

The hunt is loud!

The emperor looked solemn:

"The land of our Ming Dynasty does not belong to the gentry or the powerful - it belongs to the country!"

"The laws of our Ming Dynasty were set by Taizu and Chengzu, and by the emperors of all dynasties!

If these gentlemen open their mouths, it will be the law! "

"The Ming Dynasty is - the Ming Dynasty that belongs to every Ming Dynasty!"

"Everyone in the Ming Dynasty is happy and prosperous, that is the real Ming Dynasty!"

……

Zhu Youjian raised his arms and shouted:

"I want to take back the land and distribute it to the people so that everyone can have enough to eat and have enough clothes to wear!"

“I don’t want to see people displaced and dying of hunger everywhere again!”

"I will defeat those beasts!"

Zhu Youjian drew out his long sword and pointed it at the void:

"I, the sixteenth generation emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youjian!

Today, I am announcing to the world - inventory the acres of land and urge the payment of hidden taxes!

Land, give it to me and give it back to the people!

Pay the hidden land tax to me!

If anyone disobeys..."

Zhu Youjian took off the hairpin with one hand, tilted his head, and let the black hair pour down.

He held the long hair around his waist with his left hand and made a sudden stroke with the sword in his right hand.

The hair, mixed with gray, has been broken.

A large amount of long hair about a foot long appeared in Zhu Youjian's hand.

"His Majesty!"

The civil and military ministers prostrated themselves on the ground, crying and howling all over the place.

Your body, hair, and skin are all given to you by your parents, and you dare not damage them...

Today, His Majesty actually cut off his hair to prove it!

This is their sin!

"Internal officer!"

Zhu Youjian roared angrily, and a group of eunuchs stepped onto the high platform.

"Give my broken hair to every soldier and tell them that I have only one thing to say today - I would rather be broken into pieces than be ruined!"

Inventory the acres and give the people a chance to survive.

Recover hidden taxes and give the country a new environment.

I've decided on this!

I don’t have so many Shangfang swords. Every hair on my head is my will.

Today, you all uphold my will and are all my emperor's personal soldiers. Any gentry who dares to attack you is attacking me!

But if there are any resisters, I will kill them!

Anyone who dares to kill you will be exiled from the Nine Clans! The main culprit’s entire family—Yi! "

The eunuchs took the broken hair, carefully divided it into handfuls, got off the platform, walked among the soldiers, and distributed the emperor's broken hair to each soldier.

……

Zhu Youjian's face was ashen.

There was no guilt at all about causing a bloody storm.

He has given these bullshit gentry opportunities time and time again.

Through Li Shusheng's mouth, he told them that as long as they donated their land, they would be compensated with three taels of silver per mu.

You can even get great wealth!

However, more than half a month has passed, and only about a dozen gentry families have donated their land!

If that's the case - then I'll tell them with a knife, give them back what they robbed from the common people!

Those who are greedy for the country will spit it out!

Give people a chance to live.

If not, I will destroy his whole family!

……

The eunuchs walked through the army and distributed the emperor's gray hair to every soldier.

The sergeants carefully coiled a foot of the emperor's severed hair into a small ring and put it into the small purse that had been distributed first.

The emperor on the high platform personally pulled out the large banner, and amid the sound of hunting wind, the emperor pointed in front of the banner:

"Boys, let's go!"

Fifty thousand freed soldiers, led by generals at all levels, marched to various places.

……

The yellow books for collecting grain and taxes from local governments have already been copied several times and handed over to the generals who led the team, and to the clan who led the team...

Yuan Zongdi withdrew from Nanyang, and the land controlled by Zhu Youjian no longer had enough power to threaten the emperor.

Zhu Youjian, who had his hands free, revealed the sharp blade that had been hidden for a long time.

Returning a piece of pure land to the people and giving them a way to survive is the only magic weapon for a regime to maintain long-term stability!

……

On the Laohekou Pier.

Zhu Youjian looked at the dozen or so gentry in front of him with a smile on his lips.

"Mr. Li, have you ever regretted it?"

Zhu Youjian looked at Li Shusheng with a half-smile, his eyes inexplicable.

Li Shusheng trembled all over and hurriedly knelt on the ground:

"Your Majesty is aware of this, and I will resolutely uphold His Majesty's decree."

The other dozen or so gentry also fell to the ground, uttering words of loyalty.

"Ha ha!"

Prosecutor Zhu You smiled and helped these gentry with his own hands:

"Don't worry, I said that as long as you hand over the land, I will give you great wealth!

I will never break my promise! "

These people are what he calls one faction to fight against the other!

Using tough methods and a thunderous blow to destroy the disobedient gentry, and then giving the obedient gentry great wealth and honor, so that the grassroots will fall to one's side, this is politics.

If you only have tough measures but no comfort, you will only create a dilemma for yourself that everyone in the world will oppose.

Even with the army in hand, Li Zicheng could not escape his fate.

Therefore, Zhu Youjian has already formulated a strategy. Simply being tough is not enough, he must also let the gentry see another way!

——Give them a chance, give them a chance to make a lot of money.

This is the only magic weapon that can force the gentry to surrender.

Zhu Youjian pointed his finger at the surging river water and chuckled:

"Since ancient times, when human power was exhausted, only the power of nature was infinite!"

Li Shusheng hurriedly agreed:

"What your Majesty said is that water and fire have always been ruthless. If it is used well, it may not be a blessing.

For example, Nanyang has begun to utilize the Tang River and Bai River since the Han Dynasty.

The ancestors built water conservancy, which not only irrigated the land and obtained higher output, but also replaced human labor and created huge wealth. "

Li Shusheng is a card in the emperor's hand.

He was the first to hand over the land and chose to support the emperor.

It is precisely because of this that Li Shusheng became the benchmark displayed by the emperor to the gentry.

……

What Zhu Youjian wanted to do had already been discussed with Li Shusheng.

Therefore, he became a perfect admirer.
