Chapter 206: The officials of the Ming Dynasty were the worst in all dynasties, so bad that they had no bottom line.
Lin Che recovered her thoughts and continued: "Compared to the Ming Dynasty, those people must have wanted to be officials in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. To put it bluntly..."
"In the eyes of most officials during the Song and Yuan Dynasties, ordinary people should be exploited by them like cattle and horses, and they should be trampled on the ground and oppressed by them!"
"Bullying and exploiting the common people has now become a secret kept secret by some officials and gentry nowadays."
"Bullying and exploiting the people has become a normal thing for them, just like the sun in the sky rising from the east in the morning and setting from the west at night."
"This kind of thinking has almost penetrated into the bone marrow. Now, do you think it will be difficult for them to make changes?"
Faced with Lin Che's sharp words, Prince Zhu Biao nodded solemnly.
It was like a mirror in his heart. Lin Che had already spoken very restrainedly and did not make any more sarcastic remarks. This was already to give face to her father.
Lin Che almost said directly: The officials of the Ming Dynasty were the worst in all dynasties, and they were so bad that they had no conscience and no bottom line.
Zhu Biao, I understand.
And his father also understood.
His face was livid, the veins of his arms on the table were exposed, and the anger was rising all over him, and he was about to use a knife to look at people.
Lin Che also noticed Zhu Yuanzhang's expression, but said jokingly: "Your Majesty, did I say something wrong?"
"You, I'm not telling you, don't always kill people when you disagree."
"Someone else was chopped off, and I was very angry, but the problem was not solved at all. The gain outweighed the loss!"
"You can't control officials just by killing people. Think about the wealthy families and landowners scattered across the country..."
"Killing will only increase hatred and will not bring about any changes. In the end, your old Zhu family will completely alienate and confront the powerful class, the gentry class, and the world's powerful landlords!"
After a pause, Lin Che looked serious and continued: "If the Ming Dynasty is now facing an invasion by foreign enemies and troops are approaching the city, can you imagine that the powerful people, nobles and landlords who have a deep hatred for your old Zhu family can unite as one to fight against the enemy with you?"
"At that time, it doesn't matter how empty your treasury is, whether there is no food or pay for the soldiers on the front line, it won't be any of their business. I have money to rot at home, and I won't lend it to you. What will you do to me?"
"Even worse, they will spend money to support other places. I hope your Zhu family will perish soon!"
"In this way, when the next dynasty is established, they will live a more prosperous life."
"Didn't I say so?"
After Lin Che finished speaking, there was silence in the room.
The scene fell into deathly silence.
Zhu Yuanzhang's tiger body was trembling, his gums were clenched, and his fists were clenched.
The scene described by Lin Che seemed to be happening right beside them, shocking the Zhu family and his son.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had experienced the ugliness of officials in the late Yuan Dynasty BC, knew that what Lin Che said was by no means alarmist, but the most realistic portrayal.
The powerful, the civil service group, the powerful, the big landowners, the big businessmen, these people tightly cling to the lifeblood of the dynasty, lying on the dynasty and sucking blood desperately, but when the dynasty is in danger, don't expect them to come out to save the country in danger.
When a foreign enemy invades and troops approach the city, don't expect these people to stand on the city wall to guard it. If you don't open the city gate wide to welcome the enemy, you are considered loyal and patriotic!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely depressed. He pulled off his crown and loosened his jade belt, but he still felt out of breath.
"That's exactly what Mr. said."
"It seems like we really can't do these things!"
"We don't want to kill these people, but we can't help seeing these people like this. These bitches don't deserve to live in this world."
Zhu Yuanzhang's chest was rising and falling with anger: "Let's just listen to sir..."
"We will not interfere in these matters and let the prince handle them!"
"We will not cause trouble in these matters and let the prince do it in a down-to-earth manner, but sir, you have to listen to my bitterness. Sir, just don't find it annoying, otherwise we will be really damn aggrieved!"
"Sir, you know how aggrieved we are!"
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression of pain, but finally willing to delegate the matter to the prince, Lin Che smiled secretly: "Your Majesty, you are wise!"
"Actually, you don't have to be so angry at all. Leave the matter to the prince. The prince will take over from you. Why not let the prince train more."
"Blank care will only cause the young grass to die prematurely."
"I think it would be more appropriate for Your Majesty to delegate power to the Crown Prince and take charge of it himself."
"I don't have to face so many troubles. I will be less angry and live longer!"
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang nodded thoughtfully and slowly calmed down.
He picked up the wine glass and toasted to Lin Che: "Sir, the lesson is!"
"Sometimes our style of doing things is too extreme, and our handling of government affairs is too extreme. Since we can't change it, we might as well let the boss take over as soon as possible."
"We can also retire early, live a leisurely life, and take the girl to the harem to retire!"
"My sister has worked hard with me for most of her life. Now that she is the queen, she still has to worry about our family. I want to live a good life with my sister!"
"Oh, it's all our fault for being aggressive!"
"If it hadn't been for Mr.'s guidance, we still wouldn't have woken up!"
"Thank you sir!"
After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he stood up on his own initiative, drank the wine in one gulp, and turned the rim of the cup down, leaving not a drop left.
Here, Zhu Yuanzhang and Lin Che were drinking and chatting happily, while Crown Prince Zhu Biao was confused.
Today I accompanied my father to attend a class, but as I listened, I heard that I was being asked to take charge.
Where is this going?!
This also seems a bit too casual.
At least let's talk to the courtiers, right?
Just drinking like this, I have decided on such a big thing as letting myself take charge!
Zhu Yuanzhang drank wine and glanced at the prince beside him, looking helpless and embarrassed.
He immediately smiled and said to Zhu Biao:
"Why are you still sitting there stupidly? Why don't you thank Mr. Lin quickly!"
"As for whether you can do it or not, it doesn't matter what we say. If Mr. Lin says you can do it, then you can do it!"
"As for the court caravan, just go ahead and do it. With us supporting you, what do you have to worry about?"
"I can rest assured that you will do your best. With your husband here, our Ming Dynasty will only prosper."
After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the expression on Prince Zhu Biao's face was as wonderful as it could be.
He forced a smile, but it was uglier than crying.
However, before he could shirk his polite refusal, Zhu Yuanzhang's terrifying eyes shot directly at him. Zhu Biao immediately changed his words, stood up and said: "Thank you for your consideration, Mr. Lin!"
"Please be respected by the students!"
The voice did not fall.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Lin Che who remained motionless and smiled expectantly: "Mr. Lin, although our eldest son is a prince, he is still a little too young for you."
"How about... sir, get a little tired?"
"Help him with some more tricks..."
