First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at his frowning son: "Biaoer, are you softening your heart?"

At this time, Zhu Biao should say that they deserve what they deserve. After all, he was the one who drew the names of those people, and now he is soft-hearted, and he feels a little vacillating.

But Zhu Biao thought for a while and said: "After I came back from the battlefield, I thought I wouldn't feel anything about the lives of hundreds of people in this area, but they must be executed, and I still feel a little bit unbearable."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed. No one wants his son to be a cold-blooded and ruthless person. He stood up and walked to Zhu Biao's side and said, "Biaoer, it is a good thing to be a king with benevolence, but a hard heart is also necessary. Governing the world The common people need benevolence, but they need a heart of stone to govern civil and military officials, and a weak emperor will only become a puppet of the officials."

Zhu Yuanzhang took his son to the side and sat down: "How many people are involved in the taxation and food of a single household department. Let's open the Internet and control the problem within the household department. Otherwise, it will not only be the five hundred people who will die."

"If it's not too late, we would like to kill 5,000 people at a time, let these officials know the fate of being corrupt and breaking the law, and let them know what it means to be invincible!"

Zhu Biao cheered up and told Zhu Yuanzhang about the records in another account book. Zhu Yuanzhang didn't look surprised when he heard it. After all, Zhu Yuanzhang was born at the bottom and worked under other people's hands, and he also knew about the spoils distribution process.

How dare the Ministry of Households embezzle food and taxes on a large scale if they don't feed the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of Punishment and those high-ranking people.

Zhu Biao thought of the remaining 500 people in the Household Department and said: "What should the rest of the Household Department do? Although they have also received some taxes and food, the amount is not large, and some of them are indeed overpopulated. It is indeed a bit difficult to support the family with the salary."

Zhu Yuanzhang said directly: "No matter what, if you break the law, you will be punished. They will be punished if they die, and they will be beaten thirty times with a cane. They will not be allowed to ask for leave the next day, and they will have to deal with the affairs of the household department even if they are crawling!"

It seems that tomorrow not only more than 500 people will be killed, but also more than 500 buttocks will be spanked.

Thinking of the salary issue, Zhu Biao said, "Father, do you want to raise the salaries of the officials as soon as possible?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "Absolutely not now, I can mention a little next year, but it will never be too much.

"It's not that we don't want to give them salaries. We have studied them carefully. Their salaries may not be enough for them to buy land, but it is still possible to feed them. According to the current national strength, what we can give them is a forty or fifty mu The benefit of the fields is too much, and the country cannot afford it!"

Zhu Biao nodded, he knew it was a bit taken for granted, Zhu Biao just felt that the salary was enough, and if they were corrupt and broke the law, Zhu Biao would have nothing to bear.

After Yongzheng's implementation of high salary and honesty, it proved to be useless. Not to mention the low effect, it also stimulated the appetite of those corrupt officials and made them more greedy.

Zhu Yuanzhang patted his son on the shoulder and said: "If you want to increase their salaries, it is not impossible, but you have to wait until the country is rich and the talent pool is enough. At that time, you should be able to afford a lot of money with a big stick and a sweet date." Effect"

Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "Since my father also has this idea, why not implement it in a few years?"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "I'm afraid we won't be able to see the prosperity of Ming Dynasty. According to the current situation, in less than ten or twenty years, Daming is far from recovering its vitality, so how can we talk about reaching the prosperity."

When Zhu Biao heard this, he understood that Zhu Yuanzhang was worried that he would not live to that time. After all, the average life expectancy in this era is only thirty or forty years old, and Zhu Yuanzhang is already in his early forties this year.

What's more, before he ascended the throne, he fought in the South and the North, and after he ascended the throne, he sleeps all day long and works hard all day, so he will inevitably worry about his own lifespan.

But Zhu Biao knew that his father was strong, even after experiencing such a tragic blow, he could live to be seventy-one years old. With Zhu Biao waiting by his side in this life, he might live a hundred years if he was happy.

Although this means that Zhu Biao may set a record for the longest reigning prince in the history of the world, but Zhu Biao doesn't care. According to the character of his father, he will be able to supervise the country in a few years, although He doesn't have the title of emperor, but he is already very satisfied with Zhu Biao.

You can't attack your father for the sake of the throne. This is not something Zhu Biao can do, and it also violates his bottom line in life.

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao smiled and said to his father, "If I say that my father will live forever, I must be lying to you, but I dare to say that at least you will live a long life without any problem!"

Zhu Yuanzhang heard that his son's words were indeed sincere, and his eyebrows danced with joy. Since ancient times, it has been said that the heavenly family has no father and son, and the royal family has no siblings, but it is different for him.

After laughing for a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said, "How long did Emperor Qin, Hanwu, Tang Zong and Song Zu live? We don't expect to live to be a hundred years old. We only hope that God can give us more than ten years, let us help you. After the world is settled and the forces of all parties are suppressed, we will give you a peaceful country, and we can let go with peace of mind."

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished talking, he asked Zhu Biaogun to go to bed in good spirits, don't disturb him, he has to deal with government affairs.

Zhu Biao silently felt his tired body, and then compared it with his forty-year-old father, and he didn't know who was the fifteen-year-old boy.

Zhu Biao was hit hard, and he was really ready to exercise his body. He felt that he had no physical problems since he was a child. He really felt that he was healthier than in his previous life, and he didn't have any congenital deficiencies.

Therefore, it is concluded that Zhu Biao's death in history must have been caused by depression and illness. Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's long-term massacre of officials, he felt fearful and wanted to oppose but had no courage.

The father and son have been in conflict for a long time without understanding each other. Seeing Zhu Biao's appearance, Zhu Yuanzhang hated iron for being weak, so he sent him to deal with those officials. Under repeated depression, he finally couldn't help but jump into the river, and then died in depression .

Zhu Biao walked quickly all the way back to the East Palace, and decided not to ride in the chariot if there was no urgent matter in the future. He would exercise a lot, so that he would not be lazy in bed tomorrow morning. He could just get up and walk around the East Palace, just in this era when the air was fresh.

After entering the main hall, Yun Jin was waiting for Zhu Biao to come back in plain clothes. She stepped forward to help Zhu Biao take off her robe and said, "Your Highness must be tired today. Why don't I have a servant to wash your feet so I can take a rest earlier."

Zhu Biao said with a smile: "Arrange to take a bath, there are things to do tomorrow."

Yun Jin gently agreed, and the maids behind her immediately went down to make arrangements. Zhu Biao leaned comfortably on the soft couch and looked at Yun Jin and asked, "How is it? Is the matter in the harem easy to deal with?"

Yun Jin smiled and said: "The servants are from the Eastern Palace, and they are loved by the empress. Even the high-ranking concubines are very kind to the servants, and those below are naturally well-behaved."
