Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was ugly.
He immediately started cursing without any restraint.
"Bastard! You are the local county magistrate, which is also the father and mother of the people.”
"How dare you judge a case of the common people so casually!”
"If the emperor finds out, be careful not to lose your head!”
Meng Yin hurriedly interrupted him.
"Old Master, you are all relatives of the imperial family. Why do you have to make things difficult for a small county magistrate like me?”
"It's all my fault for being blind just now!"
Meng Yin grabbed Zhu Yuanzhang's hand and held it tightly.
This sudden goodwill.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
Didn't Meng Yin look down on them just now because he was the county magistrate of Pei County?
Now, Meng Yin only heard that she was Empress Ma's relative, so he fawned over her like this.
If he knew that he was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
Wasn't this kid scared out of his wits?
He could already imagine Meng Yin kneeling in front of him and shouting for mercy.
Thinking of this…
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to press,
"As the county magistrate of Pei County, are you really going to judge cases like today?”
Meng Yin looked at him and asked,"What else?"”
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, his tone carrying a trace of pride."The current Emperor is busy with state affairs every day. No matter how big or small the matter is, he does not dare to make the slightest mistake.”
"You're just a small county magistrate. Why can't you learn from the current Emperor and love the people like your own children?”
"This way, I won't let down the black veil hat you're wearing.”
Hearing his words.
Meng Yin, who didn't know Zhu Yuanzhang's identity, was speechless.
Another brainless flatterer of Zhu Yuanzhang.
He chuckled and said sarcastically,"I think differently from you.”
"In my eyes, the emperor doesn't care about big matters and only cares about small matters.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's old face twitched.
He also had the urge to raid Meng Yin's house.
"Nonsense!" he said as he calmed himself down.”
"How could the Emperor not care about important matters?"
" Not to mention anything else, the most widely circulated news should be the emperor's national policy of 'recuperating and building up strength' since the founding of the country, as well as 'emphasizing agriculture and suppressing business'."
" And 'punish corruption'."
When Zhu Yuanzhang said the last sentence, he glanced at Meng Yin meaningfully.
Because Meng Yin was a corrupt official.
And then,
Zhu Yuanzhang saw Meng Yin's expression, which became more and more solemn.
He could not help but guess.
Could it be that this kid is really afraid after hearing that I am punishing corrupt officials?
However…
The next moment, he heard Meng Yin curse.
"What do you know?"
Zhu Yuanzhang.
Meng Yin did not care about Zhu Yuanzhang, who had an extremely ugly expression on his face, and started talking to himself.
"The three things you mentioned are indeed useful, but unfortunately, they haven't been implemented.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that his national policy had been denied, he glared angrily.
"Nonsense!"
"We passed by other places along the way and clearly saw many commoners cultivating wasteland.”
Meng Yin glanced at him and said with faint sarcasm,""Did you see them eat their fill?”
"This…"
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless for a moment.
Meng Yin flung his sleeves and said with a powerful voice,""As far as I know, once the Great Ming's national policy of 'cultivating and recuperating' was issued, it didn't manage all sorts of big matters, but instead focused on small matters.”
"What do you mean?" asked Zhu Yuanzhang.”
Meng Yin explained,"In my heart, it's definitely not someone who lost a chicken today. The officials must help their family find it." Things like that."
"Then what do you think?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.”
"Of course, we're going to study how to feed 1,000 people, 10,000 people, or even more! 1”
Meng Yin curled his lips and said mockingly,"But what about the current Emperor?" He didn't think about how to solve such a big matter, but he was always focusing on the trivial matters of a common person.”
Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought.
He seemed to be seriously considering the meaning of Meng Yin's words.
Then, he heard Meng Yin's voice ring out by his ear.
"Let's talk about the second condition.”
"In this official's opinion, the emperor's national policy is a bit problematic.”
This made Zhu Yuanzhang even more uncomfortable. He could not help but raise his voice and say,
"Humph, merchants value profits. If we let them earn a lot of money, do you think the people in the world will still have a good life?”
"They might even rebel!"
Back then, when he beat up Zhang Shicheng, if not for Su... The rich and powerful people in that region supported him, so why would it take so long?
Moreover…
Zhu Yuanzhang had always felt that if the merchants controlled the country's economy, the people would only become slaves for generations.
The people would never be able to make decisions for themselves!
This was a principle he had understood since he was young, which was why he had attacked merchants so hard.
Meng Yin glanced at him and nodded.""What you said makes sense."
"This idea is quite similar to the current emperor.”
He saw that the other party was looking at him strangely.
Zhu Yuanzhang coughed.
He was worried that the other party had sensed something.
However…
Meng Yin did not ask any further and continued to speak.
"However, valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce is not like merchants buying some goods from farmers. If the people feel that they have suffered a loss, they will sue the government!”
"What should be implemented is how to let the people earn money from the merchants and make the people rich. This is the true emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
He was deeply shocked.
How could a mere county magistrate think so deeply?
He had not thought of this.
Letting the commoners earn money from the merchants was the real way of valuing agriculture and suppressing commerce?
Thinking about it carefully, he had no reason to refute Meng Yin's point of view.
Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze towards Meng Yin gradually became solemn.
However, what he did not expect was…
Meng Yin hadn't finished speaking.
He sat down and took another sip of tea. He shook his head and said,"What a pity."
"The emperor wouldn't know these principles.”
"If the emperor really wants the good of the people, he should put down the small things in his hands and focus on the big things.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned red and white.
He dared to lecture him like this.
If it wasn't for the fact that what he said was reasonable, he would have killed Meng Yin long ago.
"You make it sound simple!"
"But you simply can't understand the emperor.”
"Only by firmly holding power in your own hands will you not lose the country.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said domineeringly.
The dream in his heart was to let the old Zhu family's empire last for a thousand years.
Meng Yin looked at him sympathetically.
"You have the same thoughts as the emperor.”
"But don't you think about it, the emperor only has one body.”
"If you're really so busy that you can't split yourself up, can you really take care of everything in the world?”
"If we accidentally miss something, who will be responsible for the consequences?”
Meng Yin sighed and said helplessly,""In the end, the emperor is too greedy.”
Zhu Yuanzhang:
Good kid!
You're a corrupt official. I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you actually said that I was greedy!
Zhu Yuanzhang was unhappy.
However, when it was released again, he actually could not find a reason to refute Meng Yin.
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned.
Why did he feel that what Meng Yin said made sense, but he also felt that something was wrong?
