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

After putting the Medal of Patriotism on the general, Zhu Youjian held the certificate and award and said:

"You and others will each receive a reward of [-] yuan. Wan Wangqing and others will not be arrogant or discouraged. We will make more achievements this year!"

The generals responded with a bang.

Zhu Youjian personally handed out certificates and awards one by one.

Then he led the eunuchs outside the palace.

There are also generals here who have slightly less meritorious deeds.

The rewards Zhu Youjian gave them, in addition to medals and certificates, also included silver dollar awards, ranging from [-] to [-].

……

By the time the awards were handed out to the generals, the sun had already risen.

The red early sun leaps out of the horizon.

Almost in the blink of an eye, golden light spread all over the world.

Zhu Youjian looked at the golden sun, and in his ears he heard the roars of the generals shouting "Long Live Three Times."

A smile appeared on Zhu Youjian's cheek.

Jiashen Year...

It's gone!

The new Ming Dynasty...

In your own hands, you will recreate the glory of the past!

Golden light shone on Zhu Youjian's face.

The generals who raised their heads felt that the emperor's body was glowing with golden light...

Return to Fengtian Hall again.

Another row of eunuchs had already arrived at Zhu Youjian carrying trays.

Zhu Youjian walked up to the clan, and the leader was inspecting the fields...

Zhu Yujian, the king of the Tang Dynasty, suffered many disasters, took personal risks, suffered endless scoldings from the gentry, and was even assassinated several times.

"King Tang!"

Zhu Youjian bent down and saluted Zhu Yujian.

This is what he should do.

He slipped out of Fengyang High Wall, the prison of the Ming Dynasty clan, and used it as his white glove...

It can be said that without Tang Wang and others to block his gun, Zhu Youjian's situation would definitely not be as easy as it is now.

It was precisely because he asked Tang Wang and other clans to charge into battle, and found a way to vent their anger on the wealthy gentry whose interests were harmed.

The Ming Dynasty could be reborn from the ashes without a bunch of hidden arrows...

Zhu Yujian was startled and hurriedly turned aside, saying:

"Your Majesty, you can't do that. It is your duty as a minister to do something for the people if you receive the favor of the country.

How dare you be your Majesty’s thank you? "

Zhu Youjian looked behind the King of Tang, who saw King of Qin Zhu Cunji, King of Jin Zhu Shenxuan, King of Xinxiang Zhu Changcheng, King of Jinxian Zhu Changgan with different expressions...

"You and others are all members of the clan, the royal descendants supported by the people of the Ming Dynasty.

I have something to say today, I hope you will remember it——

All the power of the Zhu family comes from the blood and sweat of the common people.

Every meal and every morsel of food for me, the descendants of the Zhu family, is provided by the poor people who warm their mouths and save food in their bellies. They are reluctant to eat or drink!

In the past, I, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, only had four dishes of side dishes and two biscuits for each meal!

Is it that Master Hongwu doesn’t know how to enjoy, or that Master Hongwu can’t afford delicacies from the mountains and seas? "

Zhu Youjian's voice was cold and murderous:

"neither!"

He pointed around the place of his clan members, not only to the vassal kings, but also to the clan members and nobles behind the vassal kings.

Zhu Youjian raised his voice:

“You have to remember, whoever can keep the people fed will be the one the people will sincerely support!

If anyone treats the people as slaves and as the objects of exploitation for their own good food and clothing...

When people can no longer survive, they will be the first to light up sky lanterns!

"Xunzi. Duke Ai" once said: The king is like a boat; the common people are like water. The water will carry the boat, and the water will overturn the boat. If you use this to think about danger, how can the danger not come?

The ancients have spoken for a long time——

Leave a way for the people to survive, so that they can have enough food and clothing, have roof tiles over their heads to cover their bodies, have someone to rely on when they are young, and have something to support them in old age.

This dynasty will last forever!

If anyone wants to empty out the last coin in the people's pockets...

The people will nail him to the pillar of shame!

This dynasty will also become a thing of the past! "

When Zhu Youjian spoke, Zhu Yujian's eyes brightened.

Zhu Changcheng, the former King of Fuqing who succeeded King Xiang, also nodded frequently.

Among the rest of the crowd, some really understood, some bowed their heads and remained silent, some showed disdain...

Zhu Youjian recorded everyone's reactions in his heart one by one.

If he understands, he will continue to use it.

If he doesn't understand, as long as he can restrain himself, he is willing to give him some spare money and become a waste from now on.

If you don’t understand and don’t know how to restrain yourself—Fangcheng Luohanshan New Prison has his cell!

Zhu Youjian raised his voice again:

"When Mencius met King Hui of Liang, he once said this -

Keeping healthy and dying without regret is the beginning of the kingly way.

For a house with five acres, the trees are covered with mulberry trees, and those with fifty acres can be clothed with silk;

The chickens, pigs, dogs, and pigs have no time to lose, and those who are seventy can eat meat;

Don't seize the time for a field of a hundred mu, so that a family of several mouths can live without hunger;

Those who are seventy years old have clothes, silk and meat, and the people are neither hungry nor cold. "

"Why?"

Zhu Youjian looked around at the ministers, his voice already filled with murderous intent:

“The key to a dynasty’s ability to stand is to make it affordable for the people to live and die!

Ordinary people can raise chickens and ducks, rely on their own work, and be able to retire comfortably at the age of 50!

Men farm and are able to feed their families.

People work hard all their lives so that they can have savings when they grow old and spend their old age peacefully!

This is the only prerequisite for a dynasty to exist! "

Zhu Youjian said with a straight face:

"Today is the second year of Xuanyuan 360, the New Year's Day!

I give you another guarantee——

If you are dedicated to serving your country, I will ensure that you will be prosperous and wealthy throughout your life, and that your descendants will have a bright future!

Those who can hold the medal, regardless of their talents, will be allowed to have two sons from each generation enter the Royal University City to study.

I will not only give you glory and wealth, but also give glory and wealth to your descendants!

This promise of mine will be valid forever as long as the Ming Dynasty survives! "

All the ministers thanked him in unison.

Although the emperor only awarded medals to military generals, when he saw the group of eunuchs next to him, they all held trays.

They knew that--everyone would have a share of today's medal!

In other words, the emperor's promise is for everyone.

The emperor is tying Daming up with them!

After Zhu Youjian waited for everyone to stand up, his face became gloomy:

"I am not stingy with rewards. As long as there is merit, there will be rewards next year, and the year after that...

There are even my descendants!

However, the ugly words lie ahead.

I am here to give you another warning——

I have given you a prosperous life. From now on, those things like "drifting away", "filial piety" and "bad local regulations"...

Who dares to stretch out his hand again, who dares to take away even a tiny bit of what I have given you...

I will pluck off all the heads of his family! "

The ministers were awe-inspiring.

Fortunately, most of those present were honest officials.

……

Those who are corrupt and pervert the law - if they can't even control their own hands, how many of them can take the lead in the national crisis and be loyal to the country?

We hope that those who take bribes and bend the law will serve the country...

This is not and - requiring prostitutes to be chaste and martyred wives.

Is it just as ridiculous?

On the other hand - how many corrupt officials were there who could be loyal to the country when the Ming Dynasty fell?

What's more, Zhu Youjian didn't pursue the past.

His request is that he first gives generous salary and then wants everyone to be honest.
