The Ming Dynasty’s Hidden Chancellor

The officials and dogs under Lao Zhu are all inappropriate, they are too cruel.

It's well written, but it's too verbose. There's a lot of explanations at the bottom of each sentence. Author, you can actually write more boldly. Readers are not that stupid. Two-thirds of a chapter is devoted to explanations. It's too tiring to skip reading.

Work is work, mistakes are mistakes. Taking history as a mirror, the Tang Dynasty clan was a common people for five generations. The Ming Dynasty clan was completely supported by the state. The direct line of the princes became princes from generation to generation. There were n more princes in the branches, which was simply terrifying. Then the clan tried their best to have children. There was no system for martyrdom in the Tang Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang asked his concubine to be buried as a martyr, but his son and concubine had to be buried as a martyr even if they had no children. In Lao Zhu's eyes, women were tools of reproduction. In the Ming Dynasty, did poor families have other options besides becoming an official? The military household registration system, the Baojia system, and the imperial examination are already the best choices. All the systems designed in the early Ming Dynasty are basically reversing the course of history. It can only be said that in addition to taking care of his own children, Lao Zhu also thought of the millions of future descendants. As for the common people, they just have to grow grain and work.

The best thing about historical novels is that every reader knows more about history than the author, and the book reviews are so exciting🤭🤭🤭🤭

After reading around the comment area, some people were so frightened that no one from the nine tribes could be an official. The officials of the Ming Dynasty rebelled against the three tribes of Yi. If a corrupt one could kill all the nine tribes, there must be a limit to exaggeration. The people allocated by the court were recruited through bribes, fines, and fees. Moreover, these people were paid, and there was no need for officials to pay for themselves. It was the Qing Dynasty that required officials to recruit people themselves. And by the middle of the Ming Dynasty, private people had to pay to become officials. Officials could also make money through this. There was no so-called out-of-pocket problem. The price of food in the Ming Dynasty was not expensive. Officials' salaries allowed their families to live. Drinking is not a worry, the standard of living is much better than that of ordinary people, and there are extra gifts during the holidays. Of course, if they enjoy the indulgent life, the court will definitely not pay for these officials. To put it bluntly, complaining about low salary is not just wanting to live a life of luxury, but salary alone cannot satisfy it, so they say that the treatment is not good. Just like today's civil servants, ordinary people think that their treatment is good. , But the people inside will still complain in various ways and want better treatment. If you compare it now, you will know what the situation is like, especially after the Yuan Dynasty developed barbarically for so many years and the policy suddenly tightened. Can those people bear it? Of course there will be various complaints, but what I don't understand is why so many people sympathize with those who are officials. Is the treatment that others understand is not the same as your understanding?

I wrote a letter to the emperor at the age of six and succeeded. Goldfinger is just an entry. If you can accept it, just read it.

Some people say that corrupt officials deserve to die, but they refute it by saying that Zhu Yuanzhang's son deserves to die. Are these two contradictory? Some people say that Zhu Yuanzhang's policy is for the people. 🐶To refute it by saying that he killed the whole family of officials and implicated many people, are these two contradictory? Some people say that Zhu Yuanzhang climbed up from a beggar. 🐶Use Zhu as a monk to refute, are these two contradictory? Some people explain that the early strength was very strong, and 🐶refute it by saying that the Tao collapsed in the late Ming Dynasty. Are these two contradictions? Some people said that it was unlucky and that constant natural disasters were a major factor in Ming Dynasty's demise. 🐶 He refuted it by saying that corrupt officials are not the only ones. Are these two contradictory? Someone pointed out some of Ming's advantages and directly said that you are a Ming blower. Is this playing the piano to a cow?

I think Zhu Yuanzhang has always been a man who worked hard for his family and property, and has not changed much. The difference is that the family in his mind has grown from small to large. His double-standard and cruel underlying logic is to protect himself and be hostile to those who threaten to destroy his family. The people at the bottom are his family's property. Zhu Yuanzhang probably had no righteousness in his heart. Judging from his experience in his later years, he was selfish and nothing more than bad (it's not even clear whether he was bad or not. He was either at the bottom or at the top, and he didn't do much in the middle class). He grew up and fought for himself or his descendants in troubled times. After becoming the emperor, running the country and surrounding areas meant managing and maintaining his family's property. In addition, the salaries of the vassal kings and courtiers were fully reflected. As far as I can tell from reading so many Ming Dynasty novels, he is basically protecting his own family property and his country. As for whether he is good or bad to the people at the bottom, I can't say that he doesn't care at all. After all, the leeks are his family's property. Of course he hopes they will grow better. If he or his family ruins it, he can just talk about it. It won't work if his subordinates destroy it. As for his policy of complaining, I feel that his hatred of corrupt officials is also because he is afraid that the people in the middle will deceive him. There is nothing wrong with bragging about Lao Zhu's achievements, but this is just a gentleman's comment. What Lao Zhu thinks in his heart needs to be looked at separately. I really don't think Lao Zhu attaches much importance to the justice of the family, the country and the people. In fact, it is because most of the time these are consistent with the interests of his emperor. So the author should not overdo it in describing the warmth of Lao Zhu's family. Lao Zhu lived frugally and worked hard. He spent a lot of money for the prince's son, just like parents do for their children today, but they are not ordinary people. Doing so with national finances has its own problems, so warmth can be there, but don't use this to deduce right and wrong. Whether he is a good father is no longer important. Readers should not want to see you use a lot of tender words to portray the image of a good father.

You are a six-year-old kid who is so smart. If I don't kill you, who will I kill? If I were Lao Zhu, I would definitely kill you. Being too smart is not a good thing.

The author should not make Zhu Yuanzhang so ignorant. During the Song and Yuan Dynasties, treasure notes were issued and became waste paper. This is not a new thing. Lao Zhu must know the consequences of doing this, but there is no solution. The protagonist only needs to provide solutions. Zhu Yuanzhang is not mentally retarded. If the most important supporting character in this book becomes mentally retarded, then we can abandon the book.
