People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

benefit?

Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down and wanted to hear Zhang Yi's opinion.

The girl from the Xu family also wanted to run away, but her instinct to eat melons nailed her in place.

She was very clever, and pretended to pour a cup of tea for Zhang Yi, and stayed where she was.

Xu Miaoyun seemed well-behaved, but her ears were already pricked up, and she wanted to hear what Zhang Yi had to say.

"In fact, in terms of productivity, the world is recuperating now, and the population is not prosperous! It is the right time to increase the world's population and encourage births!

Encouraging widows to remain widows is contrary to His Majesty's original intention of resuming childbirth.

It can only be said that he made this rule, not a rational decision...

And why would he promote this kind of behavior? In fact, he still has low self-esteem..."

self-abasement……

Lao Zhu's mouth twitched a few times, he would rather Zhang Yi say that he was cruel and selfish than being called inferior.

What people dislike the most is having their dark side revealed.

Inferiority is precisely the worst side of the yin and yang side to be touched, and even the person concerned himself is unwilling to admit this.

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could respond, Xu Miaoyun behind them took a deep breath.

Does this guy dare to say so in front of the emperor?

Productivity, damn productivity again.

This kid Zhang Yi never leaves this noun in his mouth.

This guy seems to be a ruthless promoter of the progress of civilization, can't the emperor be allowed to have a little personal emotional tendency?
Zhang Yi was not used to Zhu Yuanzhang's problems, so he continued:

"The so-called Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, especially the female virtues, is nothing more than an outlet for the literati in the Song Dynasty after Jingkang to vent their weakness!
Women's productivity is not limited to having children, they also have the opportunity to become a labor force.

Especially textile...

However, overemphasizing female virtues actually restrains this part of the productivity. In the farming society, when the small commodity economy is underdeveloped, this hidden danger is not obvious!

But what if the world ushers in a prosperous age and industry and commerce develop? "

Zhang Yi's words were actually a bit unreasonable, but Lao Zhu was still shocked after hearing it.

With the rise of Neo-Confucianism, Neo-Confucianists basically have stricter requirements on female virtues, but compared to the Mongolian emperor who had no rules.

Zhu Yuanzhang was probably the first person to formulate the principles pursued by those Neo Confucianists in an official way.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with him, it was because of the ideological education he had received, and he agreed with this set of ideas.

With something as natural as breathing, Zhu Yuanzhang would not realize that there was something wrong with him.

Zhu Yuanzhang resisted Zhang Yi's words very much.

But he is no longer the emperor who was always ready to kill. To some extent, Zhu Yuanzhang was "tamed" by Zhang Yi's prophecy again and again.

He himself did not realize this.

No matter how counter-intuitive, Zhang Yi's words are at least worth listening to and thinking about carefully.

So the emperor took a deep breath, suppressed the disgust in his heart, and retorted:

"Do you mean to hold that woman high?"

"I remember telling my uncle before that when our ancestors drank blood, there was a matrilineal clan. Later, the productivity changed and men took the lead in society!

Productivity decides to be good at relationships, so it is a natural result that men are strong and women are weak,
But even in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the status of women has never been so low!
It's very simple, because the men at that time were confident enough, they didn't have to set rules for each other, and they also believed that they could suppress women themselves.

Although there are some overturns in individual cases, it cannot change the overall situation of society...

But after the Song Dynasty, or after Jing Nan.

The backbone of the Han people, especially the scholar-bureaucrat class, was broken for the first time.

Facing alien races, they lost the self-confidence of their ancestors.

And the theories they handed down naturally carry this kind of inferiority complex.

After that, our elite class also became petty.

Later, Confucianism completed its religiousization through Neo-Confucianism, and this small family spirit and inferiority were also transformed into the theory, affecting the people of later generations
So from the root of culture, what we have handed down over the years is wrong..."

It is easier for Zhang Yi to relax his guard in a familiar environment.

But he didn't realize how much what he said had an impact on a precocious little girl.

The Xu family girl was dumbfounded, she just stared at Zhang Yi for a long time, speechless.

Zhang Yi taught her many things, she recognized Zhang Yi, but Zhang Yi never really said such rebellious words to her.

In particular, he dared to tell the emperor?
"As for the question of returning to uncle, uncle, do you think your wife's affection for you is because she fears you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stopped by Zhang Yi and couldn't answer for a while.

Zhang Yi changed the question again: "Or, do you think that if there is no female moral education, your wife must be an immoral person?"

Old Zhu shook his head without hesitation.

If the person Zhang Yi cites is replaced by someone else, Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicious personality will probably think about it.

Queen Ma, impossible.

Back then when Guo Zixing recruited him as his son-in-law, when he met Miss Ma for the first time, Empress Ma could see the uneasiness in her heart.

She is not a pedantic person, on the contrary she is very resourceful.

I don't know when, but I was subdued by her unconsciously.

"Then, if something happens to uncle, do you think your wife will remarry?"

"will not!"

Zhu Yuanzhang denied it again.

"Then uncle, have you thought about letting her be buried for you?"

Zhang Yi's words almost made Zhu Yuanzhang jump out of his chair. Has he discovered his identity?
Not to mention him, Zhu Biao and Xu's girl were also taken aback.

But seeing Zhang Yi's normal expression, Zhu Yuanzhang realized that Zhang Yi was just bringing him into Zhu Yuanzhang's role, and he didn't know that he was Zhu Yuanzhang.

Old Zhu's face turned green and then pale. He had never issued an edict on burial, but it didn't mean he hadn't thought about it.

Sacrificial burial has nothing to do with the common people, it is usually only done by princes and princes.

Realizing that he was a false alarm, Lao Zhu let out a sigh of relief.

But Zhang Yi's piercing heart did not end.

"That's why the so-called Xuan Lie's wife has nothing to do when she's full!

It's the emperor's inferiority complex! "

When Zhang Yi said this, he almost pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang's nose and cursed. Old Zhu's face turned red, and he tried not to get angry.

"The emperor treats women like he treats officials!
They are all testing human nature to the limit, but never thought that human nature cannot stand the test...

Say it, you have already become the emperor, but you are still like this.

Isn't this extreme low self-esteem? "

Zhang Yi has said it since ancient times, but he has never seen Xu's girl and Zhu Biao have been silent for a long time.

Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his head, his face was uncertain.

When Zhang Yi linked the matter of women's virtues with officials' salaries, Lao Zhu had to seriously consider this issue.

He had a very heated argument with Zhang Yi about the official salary, but in the end he chose to admit defeat.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at Zhu Biao, but Zhu Biao lowered his head and turned his head away.

I think he was moved by Zhang Yi.

Lao Zhu was a little ashamed, turned around and asked Xu's girl:

"Miss Xu, what do you think?"

Xu Miaoyun didn't expect the emperor to ask her, so she froze on the spot.

When Zhu Biao saw it, he knew that his father was furious and deliberately used Xu's girl to suppress Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi didn't know the identity of Xu's girl, but Xu Miaoyun did.

The positions of the two sides are so clear, how dare the Xu family girl disobey the emperor?
Sure enough, the Xu family girl lowered her head and fell into a tangled state.

She took a peek at Zhang Yi, only to see that he had already scooped up boiling water with both hands, and drank it cautiously.

"Uncle Huang, I think Zhenren Zhang is right..."

The Xu family girl didn't know where she got the courage to look up at Zhu Yuanzhang bravely.

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment, he took a deep look at Xu's girl, and laughed:

"Miss Xu is also a thoughtful person!"

When Xu Miaoyun heard these words, her body relaxed inexplicably.

She has been careful to hide her inner thoughts so that no one can see the rebellious thoughts in her mind.

It's just that when Zhu Yuanzhang asked her, she seemed to have the urge to go all out.

When she finished speaking, Old Zhu fell silent again.

But Zhu Biao sighed, the answer of Xu's younger sister completely closed the possibility of marrying into Tian's family.

Zhu Yuanzhang may agree with Zhang Yi's ideas, but he will never allow a [thoughtful] daughter-in-law to marry his son.

Especially, other princes who are not princes.

"Inferiority, huh?"

The embarrassment on Lao Zhu's face has not disappeared. After all, Zhang Yi pointed at his nose and said that he was inferior.

"That's natural. Starting from Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism, our Huaxia will no longer live up to the grandeur of the Han and Tang Dynasties. Although the monarchy has become more centralized..., there are still some cultural cores that cannot be returned in the end!
I don't think Han Tang is necessarily better than my Ming, after all, the world is progressive!

But if I let Xiaodao choose, living in the prosperous Tang Dynasty is probably more interesting than Daming..."

"Hmph, what you said is interesting, but hooking up with women from good families..."

"Where is it?"

Zhang Yi refuted Lao Zhu solemnly, with a guilty conscience in his eyes.

Speaking of which, there are really considerations in this regard.

Women in this era are too boring, not that they are not beautiful, but that there are too many rules, unless they go to brothels to have fun, how many of those ladies can stand jokes?
Even though Chang's elder sister has a good relationship with him, Zhang Yi also knows that after three or four years at most, she will become a natural person after she grows up.

"I just feel that although the emperor healed the divided hearts of the Han family, he still failed to regain the self-confidence of the Han and Tang Dynasties. After all, it was still a sigh of relief."

Old Zhu's good mood was instantly disturbed by Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yi once told him that he is the one who should be the emperor of all ages.

Zhu Yuanzhang's ability to listen to many of his opinions is largely related to this matter.

In the end, in the eyes of others, my own efforts are not worth the word "interesting".

Are you really wrong?
Or is it like the kid said, he actually has low self-esteem?
The good mood was gone, and Zhu Yuanzhang didn't bother to talk to Zhang Yi, so he chatted casually and said goodbye.

"Uncle, are you okay recently?"

Before leaving, Zhang Yi also reminded Zhu Yuanzhang that Lao Zhu knew what he was asking?
"Don't worry, I didn't participate in the Yang Xian case, it's nothing serious!"

He got into the carriage and slowly disappeared around the corner.

Zhang Yi was thoughtful, he turned his head, but saw the girl from the Xu family staring at him.

There seemed to be some inexplicable feeling in the girl's eyes, and Zhang Yi became nervous:

"What are you thinking about?"

In this era, the only girl he finds "interesting" may be the Xu family girl in front of him.

But when she became fussy, Zhang Yi also had a headache.

According to the usual practice, Xu Miaoyun must have become angry when Zhang Yi questioned her.

It's just that she seems to be very gentle today.

"Thank you for speaking out for women in the world, you are different from everyone..."

The girl from the Xu family hesitated for a long time, and thanked Zhang Yi earnestly.

Zhang Yi chuckled and patted her head.

But he wasn't tall enough, and he couldn't touch it comfortably enough, so he stood on his toes.

"You're welcome, remember to cover me when you become prosperous in the future..."

"you……"

Xu Miaoyun glared at him, stomped her feet and ran away...

"If this girl was born a few hundred years later, she might have superb boxing skills. Forget it, don't care about her..."

Zhang Yi shook his head and continued to work on his business.

……

Zhu Yuanzhang was sullen all the way, and Zhu Biao didn't dare to talk to him casually.

Although the father and son talked about everything, they could never bring up the topic of inferiority complex.

Monarch and minister, father and son, whether they are Lao Tzu or the emperor, in Zhu Biao's heart, the emperor is the object of his admiration and admiration.

Zhu Yuanzhang is also used to this kind of father-son relationship, how can he show his fragility to his children?

After entering the palace and changing clothes, Lao Zhu told Zhu Biao to leave.

……

"Sister, why are you here?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was busy until night unconsciously. He heard the movement, but found that Empress Ma came over at some time.

Lao Zhu stared at Empress Ma for a long time without speaking.

"Chongba, is there something on my face?"

Empress Ma was a little puzzled and touched her face.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed, especially unprepared.

Probably only when Empress Ma was alone with him would he be so at ease.

"You rarely come here, presumably you have something to persuade me?

This is probably related to the pirate case and Yang Xian's case, right?

These people couldn't persuade me, so they ran to you to intercede? "

Husband and wife for many years, the tacit understanding between the two has long been unmatched by others. ,
Queen Ma didn't say anything, Zhu Yuanzhang knew why she came to him?
"I can't hide it from you, those people have bothered me for a while, but I think women should not interfere in state affairs, so I pushed them away!

The concubine came today, not because of those people's persuasion, but because the concubine wanted to come!

Your Majesty, the blood has been shed too much, the Ming dynasty has only been in existence for less than two years, if you continue to kill, you may die..."

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly:
"They can't find a reason, so they use this method to persuade you?"

Queen Ma smiled and shook her head:
"Your Majesty knows the concubine, if the concubine does not agree with this idea, she will not come to the emperor!
Don't go into what other people think today, just treat it as a concubine's idea. "

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, but did not directly agree to Empress Ma, he said:

"Don't mention it yet, actually I have a question I want to ask you too!"

"Your Majesty, please speak!"

"Sister, if one day I die before you, will you be buried for me?" (End of this chapter)
