The end of the Ming Dynasty swept the world

Chapter 852

"Shut up." Ding Yi said unhappily: "All dynasties have been hereditary. I know that although everyone doesn't say anything, there must be some people who have ideas in their hearts. It is normal to have ideas, and there is a problem if they don't have ideas."

"But I just want to tell the world that my work is different from previous dynasties."

Everyone was silent and looked at each other a few times, not knowing what Ding Yi meant.

Ding Yi said slowly at this time: "Back then we escaped from Daxing Fort just to survive, to survive. Of course, maybe no one thought that we would come to this point at that time."

"Now, our brothers are sitting in the world, we can have inexhaustible wealth, inexhaustible food, and inexhaustible beauties."

"What should we do next?"

"The courtiers boast that I, Ding Yi, are the most enlightened ruler in the world, with great talent and great strategy. If I really indulge in this kind of lies, if I take a wrong step, I will be forever lost."

"Don't underestimate a step."

"Sitting on the throne and becoming an emperor, every step of the way has to be carefully chosen as if walking on eggshells."

"Because any decision may affect the fate of all the people in the world, and even the dynasty."

"There are some things that I say to people outside. They may not understand, but you have been with me for more than ten years, and you are all my confidantes and confidants. I can tell you clearly."

"Have you ever thought that in the nearly 2000-year history from Qin Shihuang to Ming Chongzhen, and in the entire history of China, there are many ancient emperors with long-lasting wisdom and strategies, but facing the splendid country, all of them are deeply fascinated. In the midst of the supreme imperial power."

"Because the pleasure of being in charge of the world and the people is too strong, even when I was sitting in Yutao at Huangjimen for the first time, I fell into a brief obsession."

Following Ding Yi's thick voice, the faces of all the people present became more and more serious. What Ding Yi said to them shocked and moved them, and they couldn't believe it.

The quiet needle drop could be heard at the scene, and everyone listened quietly to Ding Yi's shocking words without daring to breathe.

"For nearly 2000 years, everyone has been looking forward to sitting on the Dragon Throne. For this Dragon Throne, killings and rebellions have emerged endlessly. The winners rule the world, and the losers are exterminated by the nine clans."

"History repeats itself time and time again."

"The dynasties are constantly changing."

"Yes, I am also a Mingjun through the ages, and I can also sit firmly in the country, but can I guarantee that the emperors of all generations behind the Daqian are Mingjun?"

"What if my son or grandson is a tyrant in the future?"

"They will kill your descendants, destroy the peace of the people all over the world, and even destroy the Daqian Dynasty that we worked so hard to build."

"History will repeat itself at that time, and the foreign bandits will wantonly abuse and kill our family members like Jiannu."

The faces of everyone at the scene became more dignified.

"Then." Ding Yi's voice became high, and his face turned red: "There is only one way to change everything."

"That is to ensure that this splendid world will always be under the control of the wise."

"But." Ding Yi's voice became louder: "How many people would be willing to pass the throne to someone more wise after becoming emperor?"

"No one." Ding Yi said sharply: "I dare say that no one in this world is willing to do this except me, Ding Yi."

The officials were shocked and moved, and everyone couldn't believe it.

"Even myself, after being the emperor for so long, is deeply confused by power."

"I've woken up more than once at night."

"I remind myself, after I die, why bother with the flood."

"As long as you pass on the throne to your sons, it's none of my business after the big work."

"However, I really want it to be recorded in the annals of history and passed down through the ages. I really want it to be peaceful for generations and the people to live and work in peace and contentment."

Ding Yi really wanted to be a real emperor through the ages, the kind of emperor who surpassed Qin Shihuang and was admired by everyone in the future.

"So, I finally thought of the most likely way to succeed in this world."

"Let the rule of law replace the rule of man."

"If a man obeys no one but the law, then he is free and he is safe—"

Ding Yi's words deeply shocked the hearts of everyone at the scene. Indeed, what Ding Yi said now was too shocking.

As he said, this is because everyone has followed him for more than ten years, and they are more convinced of him and easier to accept him.

If someone else said such a thing, half of the people at the scene would think he was crazy.

Over the years, Ding Yi has kept people from kneeling down, arranged coeducational schools in schools, opened universities, sent people to study abroad, and done shocking things one after another.

Everyone is used to the shock Ding Yi gave everyone.

But today's words are too earth-shattering.

For a long time, everyone at the scene was in chaos and couldn't believe it.

I don't know how long it took, but Zhao Dashan came to his senses first. After thinking about it, he finally blushed and said in a deep voice, "What if someone is above the law?"

Yes, to replace the rule of man with the rule of law, the key is whether the law can restrict everyone?

"This is where we will work hard to improve together in the future."

Ding Yi said formally: "Under Daqian's law, everyone is equal, the prince breaks the law, and the common people are the same crime."

Ding Yi said again: "I didn't put myself in it because I need power to formulate such a law."

"From now on, when the emperor breaks the law, the common people are also guilty." Ding Yi said without hesitation.

It is unrealistic for him to put himself in now, and he cannot accomplish this earth-shattering event.

However, he assured his ministers that the big work in the future must be "the king is under the law".

At this time, Ding Yi still believed that he would succeed in the future.

Without further ado, Zhao Dashan knelt down on the ground: "Whether this matter is successful or not, the emperor has such an idea. He has been the most enlightened emperor in the world throughout the ages. On behalf of the people and officials in the world, I thank the emperor. Long live Long live Long live."

The rest of the people knelt down one after another, and some almost burst into tears.

Whether they believe it or not, everyone understands a truth. If Daqian can really replace the rule of man with the rule of law, Dagan's country will be passed down from generation to generation for thousands of years.

Ding Yi has just established the country for more than a year, and he can't wait to carry out this matter, because he is now in the sky, his reputation is unparalleled, and his subordinates are all cronies and unconditional surrender.

If he did this after 20 or [-] years in power, everyone is used to high-ranking officials and generous salaries, good clothes and good food, and even lives outside the law like the previous great Ming nobles. If Ding Yi wants to do this again, there will be Who will support it?

Of course, everyone may not enjoy the benefits and treatment of the former Duke of Ming Dynasty. To make up for it, Ding Yi will lead them to make money together.

"I want to strip all the profitable places such as mines, sugar factories, iron pot factories, and salt factories from the imperial court and turn them into private businesses."

"That is to say, everyone and I will join the shares."

"A new textile factory will also be established."

"After a few years, if the bank can operate stably, private banks can also be set up as competition."

"Everyone will focus on making money from now on, which is more affordable than titles."

Ding Yi decided to turn many court-run factories into private individuals.

All of you confidantes and Ding Yi paid for the purchase. Everyone has been with Ding Yi for so many years, and their family background is very rich.

Among them, the state-run salt factories of successive dynasties were all shareholders of the brothers, and Ding Yi did not hold shares.

Every year, [-]% of the profits should be turned over to the imperial court as taxes.

The price of salt is set by the imperial court, and the imperial court conducts spot checks on the quality of salt from time to time. Only refined salt is allowed to be produced, and coarse salt is not allowed.

The other factories are similar, basically each of them is responsible for the operation and pays taxes to the imperial court, and the imperial court is responsible for supervising and controlling prices.

And Ding Yi said that everyone will operate for ten years in the early stage, and after ten years, other private capital will be allowed to enter these industries.

These industries are currently monopolized and the most profitable industries. Let them operate for ten years, and they will definitely earn untold wealth.

But we can't let them keep doing this. If there is only monopoly in any industry, it will only get worse in the future.

So ten years later, Ding Yi will allow other private capital to enter.

These brothers will run the world's most profitable business in the future, so naturally they must ensure that their property will be passed on forever.

What if there is a new emperor in the future who is upset and wants to deprive their descendants of their property?
Therefore, they will support Ding Yi's approach very much now, and if they want to let Daqian, the king is under the law.

In this way, it is guaranteed that no one, any emperor in the future, will be able to do anything to their offspring's property without reason.
-
In the early morning of the next day, the ministers discussed a few things first.

Ding Yi suddenly said: "I've been reading the "Tao Te Ching" recently, but the scriptures are complicated and difficult to understand. I'd like to ask a teacher to explain the confusion."

The officials were puzzled and immediately listened quietly.

"If you are too high, you will know it. Secondly, you will praise it. Secondly, you will be afraid of it. Next, you will insult it. If you don't believe it, if you don't believe it. It's expensive to say it. The success and success, the people all say: I am natural. Do you, Aiqing, know what this passage means?"

The front row was full of Ding Yi's people. Although these people were fully literate, everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

At this moment, people in the front and rear rows stood up at the same time.

Everyone looked back, and it turned out to be Huang Daozhou, Dean of the Royal University's Faculty of Science, and Lu Daqi, Minister of Justice.

Seeing Huang Daozhou standing up, Lu Daqi smiled even more, and then backed away.

Huang Daozhou immediately said: "Go back to the emperor."

"This passage means that the most brilliant ruler governs the people, and the people do not feel his existence; the next ruler, the people are close to him and praise him; the next ruler, the people fear him; the next ruler , the people despise him. The ruler's credit is not enough, and the people don't believe him. The sage spreads the Tao, is leisurely, and seldom issues orders. When things are done successfully, the people will think: "We are always like this. "

There are ministers in the court who are thoughtful, but they don't know what they are thinking.

Ding Yi smiled and said, "Huang Qing is right."

"It's often nothing to take the world, and even if there are things, it's not enough to take the world, so why?" Ding Yi asked again.

Huang Daozhou said: "Those who govern the world should be quiet, inactive, and non-disturbing. If they often harass the people's livelihood with harsh policies, they are not worthy of governing the country."

Ma Shiying, Wang Duo and others frowned, looking at each other from time to time.
