Great Ming: I, Zhu Di, Declare My Intentions to Seize the Throne from the Start!

"This is a great idea!"

"His Majesty relegated him to the status of a commoner and expelled him from the family tree. Now it seems to be an extremely correct decision. ⃝ⓒⓞⓜ"

"Yes, this discount is very important. I see the possibility of small farmers breaking the laws of history."

"Childish! Ridiculous! In this kind of cooperation, distribution is the most test of human nature. I conclude that it will never succeed!"

…

The fold was circulated among the courtiers.

The whispers were always accompanied by frequent high-pitched negative voices.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was condescending and kept the content of the discussion in mind, he also wrote down the person who spoke.

Various discussions on rural communities.

To sum up, it can be divided into three categories.

One group thinks that the idea of ​​rural village cooperatives is a good one and speaks highly of it.

One category is to evaluate how wise and correct he was when he demoted the fourth child to a commoner based on the rural village community plan.

One type is deliberately making loud noises and making negative noises.

The last category was addressed to him and was obviously against the rural village community plan.

This is not difficult to understand.

The promotion of rural cooperatives in Ming Dynasty will inevitably hinder the financial resources of many people.

The second type of people are staunch supporters of Biao'er, praising him for being wise and correct, which is also a roundabout statement.

Make it clear to him: If His Majesty favors Zhu Silang because of his excellence, or even restores Zhu Silang's title, that would be foolishness!

The voices in officialdom and court are so interesting.

Don't just listen to the superficial meaning.

Listen dialectically.

Listen based on the speaker's moral integrity, faction, and interests.

However, this kind of people should be wary of Lao Si.

But I agree with the content of this report.

If the imperial court implements it, these people are a group that can be won over.

The first category is the easiest to win support for.

In just a short moment, Zhu Yuanzhang just threw out this secret message and classified who supports and who opposes, who can be fought for, and who does not need to waste energy fighting for.

Although the emperor kept his word.

But the emperor couldn't do it himself and did everything.

Final implementation must rely on officials.

Should a policy be implemented by its supporters or by its opponents?

The result is completely different.

…

While Zhu Yuanzhang was lost in thought, the discussion in the palace gradually subsided.

Wait until the sound has completely subsided.

Zhu Yuanzhang gathered his thoughts, looked around, and asked with a smile: "Have all the ministers seen it?"

"Now tell me, what do you think of the rural village community described in this excerpt?"

"I have something to say!"

Everyone was attracted by the sound and looked around.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lu Ben and said with a smile: "Lu Qing can speak freely."

Lu Ben defended Biao'er's interests, and he supported him.

Lu Ben's daughter is just Biao'er's concubine.

In the inheritance system of the Ming Dynasty, even if the Lu family gave birth to an heir for Biao'er, he would not be able to become the heir.

The Lu family is also destined to never become a domineering family that interferes with the imperial court.

Therefore, he promoted Lu Ben step by step from a minor official to the position of the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

‘Lu Ben has performed well in recent years. Find an opportunity to promote him and increase Biao’er’s support in the court. ’

Little did Lu Ben know that Zhu Yuanzhang had decided to find an opportunity to move his position again.

After standing across the column, he said loudly: "The rural village community model described by Zhezi seems very beautiful, but in my opinion, it is just a castle in the air!"

"No consideration for humanity at all!"

"In the end, it will definitely end up in a situation where a small number of people are living off rent."

"Originally, according to the laws of history, it would take about a hundred years for a new dynasty to be established before sharp conflicts in the countryside would arise due to land annexation."

"If the model described in the book is promoted, within ten to twenty years, the countryside will inevitably lead to sharp conflicts due to the greed of a small number of people for profit!"

…

Zhu Benben frowned, feeling very resistant to Lu Ben standing up to object.

But as I listened, my brows couldn't help but relax.

I thought that Lu Ben was going to attack his fourth brother again.

Now, although in essence, they are also attacking the fourth brother by attacking the rural community.

But the situation described by Lu Ben is entirely possible.

Human nature is greedy!

This model places too high demands on the leader’s character.

The fourth brother can do it.

It may not be feasible to apply it to the whole world!

The fourth brother probably did this just to help the villagers of Tuqiao Village live a good life, and did not want to promote it throughout the world.

It must have been my father, who was moved after seeing it.

However, this is tantamount to putting the fourth brother on the fire.

"Master Lu, your worries are unfounded!" As soon as Lu Ben finished speaking, he laughed easily.

It's obviously an objection.

Everyone looked at the smiling Hu Weiyong with surprise on their faces.

Hu Weiyong supports Zhu Silang?

This is too sudden!

Xu Da looked at Hu Weiyong and frowned subconsciously.

Zhu Yuanzhang watched with interest.

Hu Weiyong actually supports Lao Si?

Should the local village community simply support Lao Si, or should this matter convey to Lao Si and support him in seizing the heir apparent?

Lu Ben's expression froze, he clasped his fists and said coldly: "Please tell me, Prime Minister, why are you so worried?"

Hu Weiyong walked out across the queue, held up Zhu Di's folding book, and pointed with his finger, "Have you read this content carefully? New 𝟼𝟿 Book Bar→𝟼𝟿𝚜𝚑𝚞𝚡.𝚌𝚘𝚖"

"I looked carefully."

“Two of them left a particularly deep impression on me.”

"Article 1 is about the definition of rural cooperative rural cooperatives."

Hu Weiyong opened the brochure and said with a smile: "It says this, a cooperative rural cooperative: All families in Tuqiao Village use land, livestock, looms, farm tools and other valuables as shares to establish a cooperative rural cooperative. .”

"All villagers in Tuqiao Village are the owners of the assets of the rural village community."

"For shareholders!"

Everyone looked at each other in shock.

What does this mean?

Hu Weiyong saw through everyone's confusion and explained with a smile: "This definition is actually the nature of a rural village community. It belongs to the whole village, not to one person or a few people."

"This is important and relates to my second point."

As he spoke, he quickly turned over the book.

At a certain moment, he smiled and said: "I found it."

Immediately, Hu Weiyong raised the fold and read: "This local village community passed the election, with 47 votes in favor. Zhu Silang was elected as the first village chief of the Tuqiao Village local village community."

"Forty-seven votes were in favor of electing Yang Ba as the leader of the rural village farming group."

"Forty-seven votes in favor, elect Liu Simei..."

New 𝗰𝗼𝗺

…

"In this election, the leading members of the rural village communities elected will have a probation period of one year."

"After one year, a vote of confidence will be held. After passing the vote of confidence, the person can serve for five years. After five years, another election will be held."

After reading this, Hu Weiyong stopped and said with a smile: "Everyone, this election shows that the decision-makers in rural villages are selected by villagers."

"There is a one-year observation period."

"After the observation period, you can only do it for five years."

"After five years of service, you have to re-elect."

"If these people are not recognized by the villagers during their six-year term, or secretly make profits for themselves, the villagers will be able to elect them next time!"

"Based on the definition of Article 1, these villagers are all shareholders of the rural village community. This joint election is not just talk!"

"Master Hu, I don't agree with your opinion..."

…

As soon as Hu Weiyong finished speaking, someone in the court immediately objected.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it and saw that those who opposed Hu Weiyong were still very close to Hu Weiyong, and he couldn't help being amused.

Soon, the court turned into a debate.

It was past morning time and the debate was not over yet.

However, from a chaotic debate, through constant debate and persuasion, two factions were formed.

One group is against it, and one group is for it.

Although there are fewer supporters than opponents.

But there are a lot of them.

"Your Majesty..."

Long Ting's voice sounded, and the red-faced courtiers fell silent for an instant, hurriedly adjusting their clothes and standing up quickly.

"The morning time has passed. You can discuss this issue slowly."

When governing, one should not let the wind lead to rain.

Even if it were to be done, it would not be done immediately.

You have to make a show of it in Tuqiao Village first, that bastard Lao Si, and then take a look.

Throw out this tip today.

Just blowing the wind and throwing stones to ask for directions.

"Dismiss the dynasty!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

…

Amidst the shouts of "Long Live the Mountain", Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and left.

The ministers also left one after another.

Lu Ben left Fengtian Palace and went directly to Hu Weiyong's left minister's office.

"Shilang Lu is a rare visitor." Hu Weiyong smiled and exchanged greetings. He stood up and poured tea for Lu Ben himself to give him face.

Lu Ben glanced at the tea cup and asked with a dark face: "Prime Minister Hu, I came here just to ask why you support Zhu Silang's rural community?"

"Can't Mr. Hu see that if the rural village community is really established, it will harm the interests of our gentry?"

Hu Weiyong smiled and sat down next to Lu Ben.

Lu Ben's opposition to rural village societies had his own reasons for harming the interests of the gentry.

But it’s more because he doesn’t want Zhu Silang to be in the limelight!

Coming to him, on the surface, was to seek an explanation from the world's gentry.

In fact, it was to test him whether he wanted to support Zhu Silang!

He envied Lu Ben very much. As long as he showed loyalty to the prince and actively safeguarded the prince's interests, the emperor would continue to promote him.

Among the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty, only Lu Ben had such special status.

Sapphire is not good, it represents the Chang family.

His Majesty, while giving high priority, also prevents relatives from interfering in politics.

Lan Yu is the great-grandson Zhu Xiongying’s maternal uncle!

Hu Weiyong took a sip of tea slowly, put down the cup, and then said with a smile: "Shilang Lu, the truth is that you are seeking benefits for us gentry!"

Lu Ben frowned slightly and stared at Hu Weiyong closely.

Hu Weiyong explained: "The annexation of land will only lead to natural and man-made disasters, and the people will not be able to survive."

"But now, the opportunity is right in front of us."

"There is Zhu Silang in Tuqiao Village. There is really no chance for a gentry."

"But what about other places?"

"Once it is promoted all over the world, we gentry can take the opportunity to propose and take the lead! In the name of the imperial court, we can carry out the annexation in a legitimate manner!"

"We, the gentry and officials, have the most land and the most talents. We are a cooperative rural village company and the land is invested in shares. We are the big boss!"

"Those mud-legged guys can't even reach a second boss!"

"At best, he's just a waiter who owns shares!"

"As for the voting rights, we can make some subtle modifications during the implementation process and distribute them according to the amount of land, farm tools, and large livestock invested. Those with more shares will have greater voting rights, and those with less will have less voting rights. In this way, the waiter's point How many shares can I get from my family property? How much voting rights can I get?"

After saying this, the corners of Hu Weiyong's lips slightly raised: In this way, all the gentry in the world will have to thank me, Hu Weiyong!

If Zhu Di could hear these words, he would also give Hu Weiyong a thumbs up. This man's mind moves too fast and he is also very insidious!

Lu Ben suddenly understood.

He glanced at Hu Weiyong from the corner of his eyes and couldn't help but secretly said: How insidious!

What if the gentry participates in rural village societies, but small farmers have shares? The disparity in shares is too big, and the gap in strength is too big!

As Hu Weiyong said, he is just a waiter who owns shares!

A waiter is a waiter. No matter what kind of waiter he is, his fate is driven by others!

Lu Ben's face relaxed, he smiled and raised his glass.

As long as Hu Weiyong does not intend to support Zhu Di.

…

Royal study room.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang walked in, he saw Ma Xiuying sitting in his seat, reading the book.

His face turned dark instantly, "Didn't we make a three-part agreement?"

"You take care of the palace, and we will take care of the court affairs!"

The surrounding maids and eunuchs lowered their heads and suppressed laughter.

No matter how you hear this, you feel very helpless.

Ma Xiuying stood up with a smile, "I just wanted to take a look. I heard that it was very lively in the court hall this morning?"

snort!

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted slightly, and after sitting down, he ordered: "Show the queen her seat."

After Ma Xiuying sat down next to her, she asked with a dark face: "If this is the case, what do you want to do?"

"You are attracted by the rural village community, don't you?"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could admit it, Ma Xiuying reminded: "I advise you not to push forward rashly. It is best to wait for the Fourth Brother to make some achievements and sum up the experience and lessons."

"At the same time, you'd better go and see for yourself. You don't know what you need to be careful about and what you should avoid during the implementation of this rural village community. As an advocate, the fourth child should know!"

"Not only do you want to watch it, it's best if the fourth child can explain it to you in person."

Ha ha……

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately laughed and pointed at Ma Xiuying, "You are beating around the bush, but you still want to go to Tuqiao Village, right?"

Snapped!

Ma Xiuying slapped the table angrily and stood up, "Zhu Chongba, I want to go to Tuqiao Village to see the fourth child, but I am also warning you!"

“No one knows the full connotation of rural village communities better than the advocate Lao Si!”

"If you implement it without listening to his opinions, you will be in big trouble and suffer big losses!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was not angry, but just a little dazed: Go to Tuqiao Village to see? Want an opinion? Is this really necessary?
