Old Zhu couldn't be blamed for being angry. China had long walked out of slavery. Ever since the Qin Kingdom destroyed the six countries, China had ended the enfeoffment system.
There were enfeoffments in the early Han Dynasty, but it was only temporary. There were enfeoffments in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, which caused the Rebellion of the Eight Princes.
In the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings that Zhu Yuanzhang conferred were fundamentally different from the vassal kings of the previous dynasties. In the past, the vassal kings held military power, financial power, and political power.
He resolutely became the king of Guotian Dynasty.
As long as one had the heart, it was not difficult to discover that the vassal kings in the early Ming Dynasty were actually the princes sent by Old Zhu to lead troops. They were either marshals or generals.
As mentioned before, the Zhu Dynasty had been established for less than thirty years, and its foundation was unstable. The north had been lost for three hundred years, and it needed a large army to suppress it for decades.
The vassal king only had the power to command the troops in his fief. He did not have the power to mobilize the troops. If he wanted to send troops, he needed the approval of the five military governors, the Ministry of War, and finally the emperor.
Only then could they send out their troops.
The vassal kings were not allowed to interfere in local government affairs.
The local finances had nothing to do with the Lord Fan's Mansion.
Zhu Yunwen could let Zhu Lao Si take over the world with such a vassal king. If Zhu Yunwen was not powerful, who was?？
Back to the main topic.
Zhu Yunwen sat in the Eastern Palace and said in confusion,"Everyone says that Yao, Shun, Yu, and Tang were wise rulers who ruled the world and wanted future generations to imitate their predecessors.”
"I want to restore the Zhou ceremony and fulfill the Ida field, but Imperial Grandfather is furious and even provoked Imperial Father to beat me up for an entire day. What exactly went wrong?”
"Is it because I didn't imitate the sages enough? I only did the surface of the sages and didn't do the essence of the sages?”
The 13-year-old Zhu Yunwen was like a bookworm. Three years ago, Zhu Xiongying was also 13 years old. Zhu Xiongying had already followed the Blue Jade Northern Expedition Army and obtained military merits in the Fish-Catching Sea.
When he was almost fourteen years old, Zhu Xiong Ying had already led 50,000 troops and 670 naval warships to sail out to the sea, looking for more opportunities for this ancient empire.
On the contrary, Zhu Yunwen had read too many books of sages and learned too many words of sages, turning herself into this.
"No, I still have to think of a way. I have to get grandfather's approval. It must be because I'm not thorough enough that grandfather is unhappy.”
Zhu Yunwen seemed to have made a decision. This time, he must let the old man look at him in a new light. He must let the old man believe that if he passed the throne to him, he would definitely let Ming continue to shine.
But what Zhu Yunwen didn't know was that even if Zhu Xiongying died at sea, even if Zhu Biao couldn't escape the fate of sudden death, even if the old man lost his son in his later years.
Even if the old master was determined to pass the throne to Zhu Biao, it would never be his turn.
Restore Zhou Li, strengthen the well field, these simple words were enough to make Zhu Yunwen lose the throne forever.
Zhu Yunwen had decided on the real field because Zhu Yuanzhang had already started the reform. He had taken the land back to the imperial manor and distributed it to the people to cultivate.
According to the head household registration to receive land.
However, Zhu Yunwen said that the restoration of Zhou rites was in fact a well-field system. The well-field system was also a kind of state-owned land, but compared to the imperial village, the well-field system of the sages.
It was to turn the people of the world into slaves for the nobles.
If there was any difference between being a slave of a noble and being a slave of the emperor, the biggest difference was that the rent of the imperial manor was calculated according to the harvest.
You work hard to cultivate, natural disasters, the heavens don't give you food if it doesn't rain, the Yellow River overflows, floods.
Not only would the imperial estate not collect rent, but it would also provide food to survive. The rent of the nobles was based on the number of acres.
If you rent an acre of land and pay a stone of grain, if you can't get a stone of grain, then it's your business.
If this continued, in fifty years, or even less, the people at the bottom would never have the chance to turn the tables.
In order to ensure that the imperial estate system could be passed down, Old Zhu even explicitly stipulated in the Ming law that if the private buying and selling of land was verified, the entire family would be exiled to a foreign land. Those who knew the truth and did not report it would be punished.
The emperor was not allowed to give an inch of land as a reward for the princes and grandchildren of the court ministers and the vassals who left the capital.
The imperial estate was jointly managed by the Ministry of Revenue and the imperial estate. In theory, it was the emperor's private property, but in terms of justice, it was the court's asset.
This kind of system would not take too long. It would persist for three generations and be painstakingly managed for more than a hundred years. When the fourth and fifth generations of emperors ascended the throne.
The imperial ancestral teachings were the unchanging basic rules. As long as the successive monarchs could grasp the military power and bring out the imperial ancestral teachings, anyone who dared to invade the imperial estate could be exterminated according to the ancestral system.
As for how the Emperor would seize military power, Zhu Xiongying had also clearly stated in the Military Training Record that there was no need for scholars to lead the army.
Even if civil officials led the army for a short period of time, as long as the emperor had the intention to seize military power, he could recruit new soldiers at any time in the name of replenishing the source of soldiers.
Training new soldiers, promoting generals loyal to him, and slowly eating away at the military power in the hands of the civil officials.
Recruiting a new army instead of using literature was a very good method.
If the future ruler who had mastered the military training records could not hold power, then there was really no need for this empire to exist.
Just as Zhu Yunwen moved, he found that his mother, Lady Lu, was hiding at the side. He couldn't see what she was doing.
Confused, Zhu Yunwen walked forward and saw that Madam Lu had put a little bit of powder in the tea. Zhu Yunwen instantly covered her mouth.
Madam Lu noticed the voice and turned around. When she saw that it was Zhu Yunwen, she sighed in relief,"Child, child, come here!"
"Mother…" Zhu Yunwen took two steps forward.
"Bring this cup of tea to your Imperial Father. Think of a way to see him drink it!"”
