Chapter 267 New personality, Zhu Yuanzhang!

From ancient times to the present, there has always been a problem plaguing the center of the empire.

——Land annexation.

The rich have endless fields, but the poor have no place to stand.

As land annexation intensifies, more and more farmers lose their land, and these farmers who have lost their source of income will gather together to rise up, overthrow the rule of the dynasty, and establish a new political power.

After the new dynasty takes power, a new cycle will begin: land annexation - peasant uprisings - wars that wipe out a large population and create more wasteland - encourage farming and recuperation - economic prosperity - land annexation.

Although the founders of each dynasty were able to crack down on land annexation and maintain the rights and interests of farmers in the early stages, over time, with the decline in political power and the formation of a new generation of officials and gentry, the previous cycle would happen again.

Under the influence of land annexation, the Central Plains Dynasty's Guozuo has always been difficult to break the three-hundred-year curse. The reason why Western countries can enjoy a long period of Guozuo is not because they have no land annexation or because their systems are so weak.

They are ahead of their time because they are not a unified dynasty.

Although the emperors in the West have hereditary titles, they do not have hereditary power. Those who really control the empire are the divided grand dukes and nobles.

In Zhu Gaojie's eyes, there is one kind of person who deserves the most punishment - oligarchs.

The oligarchs who occupy most of the market's interest chain and exercise monopoly are what Zhu Gaojie must contend with no matter which dynasty or generation he is.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little confused after hearing the explanation, "In other words, there is no queen here, no Biao'er, no Boren, no Tiande, so the total number of people is just us?"

"Who is this...Oh, Xing Daorong, he seems to be some kind of general, from the Han Dynasty."

"Oh, the matter of life and death is really magical. I never thought that there would be such a bizarre thing. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I might have thought it was a big dream."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all in this step, just get used to it."

The old man said humbly: "I..."

"Thinking of this, we are already looking forward to it. Let's go find them quickly."

"Can I ask my brother what your name is?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Gaojie again: "So, who are you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized: "We have some impression that you are the son of the fourth family, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little surprised: "Really? This kid Yunwen is so pitiful. His father died early. We raised him single-handedly. He was still very immature when we passed the throne to him. At the beginning, he had a relationship with our sons.

It’s not good, especially the relationship with the fourth child is the worst. I didn’t expect that this kid would grow up after he became the emperor. Knowing that he is close to his uncles, well, we are very happy.”

Zhu Gaojie hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to bring his own father out to take the blame. "To be honest, my father rebelled, but it really has nothing to do with me. Think about it, my father rebelled in the first year of Jianwen. I

How old were you then, less than ten years old! This really has nothing to do with me!"

Ying Zheng asked: "Well... when did you die?"

"Ah, the queen and Biao'er have waited for us for too long, and finally we can meet them again."

"Ah this..."

Ying Zheng, who was still wandering around in boredom, heard someone calling him, and turned around to see an unfamiliar face: "Huh? Is there a new person here?"

"Hahahaha, it seems like we are really close, so close... so close! What the hell are you talking about?"

This place is amazing!

"You don't have to be so polite, my name is Ying Zheng."

"I died much earlier than you. I died in the thirty-seventh year of the First Emperor's reign."

A group of idle people heard the sound and came over. Ying Zheng introduced them one by one: "Come on, come on, let me introduce you."

The old man's eyes lit up: "Yes, yes, I just died."

The old man thought to himself, isn’t this the right place? It really is the underworld!

There are people from the Qin Dynasty!

"I just died and didn't know the rules here. I still have many things I want to ask my brother for advice."

The old man was awe-struck: "It turns out he is the First Emperor. He has lost his respect and disrespect. King Qin swept across Liuhe. What a majestic tiger eye. He wielded his sword to cut through the floating clouds, and all the princes came to the west. I have admired my name for a long time. I have admired my name for a long time."

Zhu Yuanzhang cursed: "Bullshit Zen position. My surname is Zhu, but I am not a pig. Do you want to hear this for yourself? Yunwen has been emperor for four years and gave the Zen position to the fourth child? Who can give the Zen position to the fourth child?

?What kind of Zen position is this! Tell me the truth, are your family rebelling?"

Zhu Gaojie touched his nose and felt a little embarrassed: "Isn't that right? My cousin is so close to my father that he was even willing to give up the throne to my father."

If he were the vassal king, he could have ignored all of this and just left the vassal to be Prince Taiping, and he could do whatever he wanted in the fiefdom. But now that he is the sword-wielder of the Ming Dynasty, he is burdened with the fate of the country and the dynasty of the Ming Dynasty.

He would brutally strangle anyone who put the Ming Dynasty at a disadvantage. Even his own brothers and sons, if they broke the law, he would kill them without even frowning.

The old man was stunned for a moment and swallowed back the words that came to his lips: "Uh... you can just call me Xiao Zhu."

"I think now Boren and Tiande have assisted Biao'er to create a dynasty underground. Let's go and check the results to see if they are lazy..."

At this time, Zhu Gaojie's body suddenly froze in place.

"This is Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty. You are from the Ming Dynasty, so you should know him, right?"

Zhu Gaojie looked up to the sky and sighed, saying to himself: "I never expected this."

"This is the Soldier Immortal Han Xin. He doesn't like to talk, so don't worry about him. He died in the Han Dynasty."

"This is Xiao Huo. The champion Hou Huo Qubing also died in the Han Dynasty."

The old man who came to the "underworld" for the first time did not act like an emperor. He regarded himself as an ordinary citizen. After all, he was unfamiliar with this place, he had not died, and he had no experience. It was better to be cautious.

.

One hundred and eighty acres of land is nothing like land annexation!

What Zhu Gaojie really wants to suppress are the gentry and gentry who easily acquire thousands or even tens of thousands of acres of land!

During the Jiajing period, Mr. Xu Ge of Xu rank claimed that he had been upright and upright throughout his life. He was a senior official and at least a teacher to the crown prince, a minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and a bachelor of Jianji Palace. He sent Yan Song and his son to the West, and later generations praised him for his purity.

reputation.

"This is Bai Qi. He died during the Warring States Period."

Tax reform, maritime ban, land reform... Zhu Gaojie will complete these things one by one.

…

A new personality appeared in the world of his mind!

When he died, Zhu Gaojie was only seven or eight years old. In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, and things have changed. The immature child at that time has now become a new generation of sword-wielding men in the Ming Dynasty.

In the world in his mind, the old man stroked his white beard. Although he was an old man in his twilight years, his eyes were unusually clear, and his body exuded a domineering and strong chilling aura.

Ying Zheng waved his hand: "It's just a false name, a false name, by the way, let me introduce you to the people here..."

Zhu Gaojie also knew that this matter could not be hidden. The personality in the world in his mind shared his vision. Although he could block the permissions of the sub-personality, he could not block Zhu Yuanzhang's permissions for a lifetime!

What a sin, my dear father!

How do you want me to explain this to my grandfather?

Zhu Yuanzhang became anxious: "You are joking with us, right? Come on, you are joking!"

After the old man heard this, everyone was shocked.

Zhu Yuanzhang beamed with joy, "Since the fourth boy is still alive, our Yun Wen must also be alive. I don't know if this boy has grown up after becoming the emperor, and whether his relationship with his uncles is harmonious or not."

In his heart, he lit incense sticks for the old man.

King Zhao was a little depressed: "Okay, okay, why do you think you have changed so much? The last time we had a drink, you were so friendly to me as my third brother. Now that you have become the crown prince, you have turned your back on me."

Are you here? Let’s not talk about this. We are drinking today and talking about government affairs.”

This Mr. Xu Ge is clearly enjoying himself despite the fact that the situation is decadent and powerless to save the world!

King Zhao frowned slightly: "Is this your intention or the old man's intention?"

But if Xu Jie serves as a minister under Zhu Gaojie, if he can live for more than three days, Xu Ge will be lucky.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little curious: "You died so young, so you died in a hurry."

Ying Zheng shook his head: "I didn't call you... hmm? Your surname is Zhu?"

"I died in the 31st year of Hongwu. When did you die, brother?"

A faint voice came from the side: "Grandpa, why are you here?"

But if no one does it, it will be like a cancer adhering to the back of the empire, constantly sucking the empire's luck, causing the empire to prosper and decline. The cancer will get worse and worse until it cannot be dealt with. No matter how huge the empire is, it will eventually collapse.

Death fell with a crash.

"Are you saying that although this is the world after death, it is not the world after death that ordinary people talk about?"

Zhu Gaojie felt a little aggrieved: "I'm really not kidding you. My cousin Zhu Yunwen, also known as Emperor Jianwen, was the emperor for only four years after he succeeded to the throne, and he couldn't wait to give the throne to my father."

After all, these people in front of us are seniors, so we can tolerate it.

"What a coincidence, my father is still alive."

After Zhu Gaojie became the sword-wielder of the empire, he coldly and cruelly removed these tarsal maggots one by one. All obstacles that blocked the progress of him and the empire would become ghosts under the sword.

"You and I are brothers, is it possible that you don't agree even if my third brother wants to buy some land for retirement?" King Zhao said in a deep voice.
