Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

[The new death remonstrance mission has been issued, please check it out. 】

The sudden sound made Mei Yin stunned.

Special surprise.

It's not... the death remonstration mission, why is it here again? !
How long had it been since he died remonstrating with Zhu Yuanzhang?

Why now... this death remonstration mission is coming again?

This is another attempt to dig yourself up into death!
Save yourself from living a peaceful life!
It was said that originally, after he had made a death-defying appeal against the Baochao issue in front of all the civil and military officials.

Mei Yin once thought that in the future, he would probably not have any more missions to die for his cause.

After all, if he thought about it, he felt that he had already advised against all the major issues in the Ming Dynasty that deserved death.

Is there any loophole so big that it's worth dying for?
But who would have thought that not long after that, a new death mission would come again! !
This made Mei Yin extremely surprised and confused.

After sitting here in silence for a while, Mei Yin turned on the death remonstrance system.

Going to see what this new death remonstration mission is.

On the one hand, it was because he himself seemed very curious about this matter.

I don’t know what kind of death-remonstration mission the system can give at this point.

This matter really exceeded his imagination.

He seemed a little curious.

Besides this, there is another reason for opening it and checking it so quickly.

By this time, Mei Yin's knot about whether to die for his remonstrance or not had long been resolved.

Now, when he was giving his last words to Zhu Yuanzhang, he would no longer think about being killed by Zhu Yuanzhang and returning to the afterlife to wait for a series of big dreams.

He only focused on the consolation reward of not being killed by Zhu Yuanzhang for his failed remonstrance.

In this way, many things become natural.

As long as the Death Remonstrance System dares to give him a task, he will dare to accept it!
There is no such thing as hesitation!
[When Zhu Yuanzhang comes to Shuangshui Village next time, the host must make a death-defying remonstrance to Zhu Yuanzhang.

The mission of death remonstrance is for the tax transfer system of Ming Dynasty.

It's this?!

After Mei Yin understood what the task was given by the Death Remonstrance System, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

This was something he had never thought of before.

However, after thinking about it more carefully, I feel that it is not difficult to understand why the system would give such a death-defying task.

Although so far, the death remonstrance system has given out death remonstrance tasks for many major pitfalls that affected the Ming Dynasty.

However, compared with those big pits, the tax transfer system mentioned in the death remonstration mission given now is better.

It’s also a big pit.

The Empty Seal Case had already happened, and Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and executed many officials.

There are many complex reasons for the formation of the Empty Seal Case.

However, some of them are closely related to the tax system formulated by Zhu Yuanzhang, which seems simple but is actually extremely complicated and full of chaos.

The taxation and corresponding transportation system he came up with had too many loopholes and too many opportunities for people to exploit them.

This became an important piece of evidence that Zhu Yuanzhang did not understand economics.

To be honest, it was Zhu Yuanzhang who created the so-called taxation and the corresponding property transfer system.

Mei Yin felt that if he were placed in that official system, he would become one of it.

Sometimes, I can't help but want to take action and put some money in my pocket.

The reason is simple: it is too easy to get.

It's just like a granary or a treasury, with its doors wide open. There's not much difference.

For example, after collecting taxes locally, according to past practice, the local government, or the court, would need to send people to transport the local taxes to the court.

The court will take over.

In the future, any other expenses at the local level will be centrally allocated and distributed by the imperial court.

The natural consequence of doing so is to allow the court to strengthen its control over the local areas.

The economic lifeline was firmly controlled by the court.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was different. He thought that this was just like taking off pants to fart, which was a waste of time!
First, transfer the local taxes and grain to the capital and other places.

Then a large part of it is shipped back.

It's very troublesome to transport it back and forth.

I don’t know how much money and food it will cost.

How much manpower and resources are wasted here.

How many problems have arisen?

So Zhu Yuanzhang came up with a solution and simply skipped this step.

Taxes, grain and other things collected from local areas are first available for withdrawal by local areas.

There is no need to transport it to the court.

All local expenses were deducted from this, and the remaining surplus grain was transported to the imperial court.

It seems that this matter can be solved once and for all, saving a lot of procedures.

However, this is also a slap-on-the-ass decision.

This will raise countless questions.

The first is that part of the financial power of the order has fallen into the hands of others!

How can we feel most at ease when it comes to fundamental things like money and food?

Naturally, it is most reassuring to hold it in your own hands and control the distribution rights.

Although during the Hongwu Dynasty, it would not have caused such a big impact.

But if you really count them all, the impact from all aspects is not small at all.

If it weren't for this particularly great autonomy.

It won't be easy for those many local officials to take advantage of loopholes so quickly!

In addition, another major disadvantage of doing so was that it made it particularly difficult for the court to supervise the local governments.

On the one hand, local money and grain were not in the hands of the imperial court.

On the other hand, the local accounts are really messy.

All departments have to ask for money from local governments.

It is easy to cause various problems.

In addition, there are people with ulterior motives who do it intentionally.

The local accounts are a mess!
It’s hard to figure it out!
Not only the case of the empty seal, but also the later case of Guo Huan, which had many connections, was able to implicate so many people in one fell swoop.

In addition to various reasons, Zhu Yuanzhang's tax method, which is easy for people to exploit, also played a role in it...

Recalling what I have learned about the taxation and operating system established by Zhu Yuanzhang during the Hongwu period.

Mei Yin understood why the system would give him such a death-remonstration mission at this time.

Let me make a final appeal on this matter.

This is really a very big pit.

After all, taxation is the cornerstone of a country.

A person without money can hardly move forward.

Otherwise, why do they say that a penny can make a hero fall.

If a family has no money, many things will become a mess and very frustrating.

Otherwise, why is there the saying that poor couples will have bad luck?

Of course, Mei Yin knew the true meaning of this sentence, which was different from what people in later generations understood.

But that didn't stop him from taking it literally.

If a country has no money, it will also have many problems and will be unable to move forward.

Without money, there is no way to strengthen national defense and reorganize the army.

If there is no money, we have to find ways to provide food and wages to the soldiers.

Without enough money, when a country encounters a disaster, there will be no money or food to provide relief to the victims...

The role of money is really huge!
If we look closely at the demise of dynasties and the decline of countries, we will find that it often begins with huge financial problems.

Where does the country’s money come from?
The biggest part is definitely taxes!
What Zhu Yuanzhang did was undoubtedly extremely harmful.

He thought the matter was too simple.

After his operation, it seemed that a lot of procedures were saved, thus saving a lot of money, as well as corresponding manpower and material resources.

But when it comes to actual implementation, what he saved is actually not saved.

Instead, many local officials enriched themselves with the money.

And, the loss is even greater.

This matter may seem inconspicuous, but the beautiful quilt covering it cannot be lifted.

Once you open it, you will see a filth!

Calming his mind, Mei Yin continued to look down.

[If the host is killed by Zhu Yuanzhang during the process of death remonstration, he can choose to return to the afterlife.

You will gain longevity...】

Sure enough, the reward for being killed is particularly tempting.

Moreover, the reward for lifespan of those who returned to the afterlife was raised to as high as three hundred years!
Not to mention anything else, this alone is enough to drive people crazy!

However, Mei Yin turned it over and over and saw two words on it - pancake!
The rewards are indeed generous and do make people feel short of breath.

But by now, he had already lost his illusions about these illusory and unrealistic things.

Before, he had made desperate remonstrances to Zhu Yuanzhang in front of all the civil and military officials, but Zhu Yuanzhang did not kill him.

I was only in jail for a dozen days before I was released and allowed to continue living my life in Shuangshui Village.
Other than that, nothing much.

From this we can see that it is simply impossible for him to get Zhu Yuanzhang to kill him by dying to protest against taxation!
Mei Yin was merely envious and soon stopped thinking about it.

He is still quite pragmatic.

It is impossible to keep holding on to these things that can only be seen but not eaten. It is better to think more practically and put the edible things into your mouth.

For example, if you make a death-defying remonstrance to Zhu Yuanzhang but are not killed by him, resulting in mission failure, the consolation prize you get is quite good.

Although it sounds like a consolation prize, it is not a consolation at all for the level of this era.

Each one is particularly important.

With this in mind, we will continue to read on to see the reward after failure.

Just at this moment, a sudden flash of inspiration came to Mei Yin's mind, and an extremely bold idea appeared.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was possible.

The idea is, can I be bolder?

He told Zhu Yuanzhang the whole cause and effect.

Tell him that he has a system.

And if you are killed by Zhu Yuanzhang during the process of making a final remonstration, you will gain huge benefits in the future.

He then formed an alliance with Zhu Yuanzhang, and had Zhu Yuanzhang kill him when he gave him a death-defying remonstrance.

Then receive awesome rewards.

Part of it was used by himself, and part of it was returned to the Ming Dynasty.

Let Ming become better.

This is truly a win-win situation!
The more Mei Yin thought about it, the more he felt that if he did this, there was a great chance that he could accomplish this.

Just as he was thinking this happily, some movement came from the Death Remonstrance System.

Mei Yin took a look and saw that there was new news on the death remonstrance system.

[When the host makes a final remonstrance to Zhu Yuanzhang, the real reason must not be revealed.

Any form of cheating is strictly prohibited.

Otherwise, if the host is killed while performing the death remonstrance mission, he will not receive any mission rewards.

Death is in vain. 】

Looking at the cold message displayed on the Death Remonstrance System.

I was just feeling very happy about the brilliant idea I came up with.

Mei Yin, who thought it was worth a try, was stunned.

No...isn't this death remonstrance system too cruel?
It's true that you have a plan and I have a ladder to climb over the wall!
There's really not even a little chance left!
Mei Yin had to throw the idea out of his mind and stop thinking about it.

Just keep reading and you will see the possible rewards you may get after failure.

[If the host's death appeal fails, he will not be killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.]

You can get a copy of the People's Education Press junior high school physics textbook. 】

After seeing the death remonstrance system, what kind of reward would be given to me.

Mei Yin's heart suddenly beat violently.

For a moment, it felt like someone had grabbed my hand tightly.

The whole mood was so exciting!
It's really great!

It’s actually a physics textbook!
This is a good reward!
Die to remonstrate! Die to remonstrate! You must die to remonstrate to Old Zhu!

If nothing else, just for this textbook, it is worth it for me to take on this task without hesitation and make a final appeal to Lao Zhu.

Coming from later generations, it was only at this time that he truly realized how important things like mathematics, physics and chemistry were!
The development in many aspects is inseparable from these.

I want to push the Ming Dynasty to a new height, or even further.

Mathematics, physics and chemistry are absolutely indispensable.

But unfortunately, he was a typical liberal arts student in later generations.

When I entered junior high school, my academic performance was very unbalanced.

Very few people know about physics and chemistry.

If we only talk about the two courses of physics and chemistry, we can see the situation we have mastered.

That is definitely a loophole in the nine-year education.

Now it’s all right. Now all I have to do is to give Old Zhu a death-defying remonstrance.

You will be able to obtain the corresponding teaching materials.

Moreover, based on my experience with the mathematics teaching materials I obtained last time.

As long as you can obtain the corresponding teaching materials and choose to receive them.

You will be able to master the contents of these textbooks immediately.

It sounds like the physics in junior high school textbooks is very simple.

But if you really can, you can make the good things in the textbooks clear and understand them thoroughly.

It does have a significant effect.

I can start to make a lot of things.

Of course, the most important thing is that I will be able to master it in the future.

Then find ways to pass these on.

Leave this world with heirloom treasures.

Let more and more people know and learn the corresponding knowledge.

Later, with the development of society and the progress of knowledge, the corresponding knowledge was expanded in depth.

Make the road wider and wider.

Of course, it does not rule out the possibility that in the future, I will be able to obtain more advanced teaching materials through the Death Remonstration System.

If this were true, then the Ming Dynasty would have been able to avoid many detours.

Will push the Ming Dynasty to a higher level.

Just thinking about this makes people feel extremely excited.

So Mei Yin saw clearly what the reward was.

There was not even a hint of hesitation, and he immediately chose to take on the task.

After Lao Zhu came here, he once again made a death-defying remonstration to Lao Zhu.

For the sake of the Ming Dynasty's long-term cause, it would be okay for Zhu Yuanzhang to be remonstrated with death again.

He was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. It was understandable that he suffered some grievances for the sake of the Ming Dynasty because of his own death-defying advice.

This time, Lao Zhu got double benefits in one fell swoop!
On the one hand, I can use my death as a warning to make it clear to him how big the problems are with his current tax and transfer system.

Once again, the Ming Dynasty avoided a big pit.

On the other hand, you can also acquire the corresponding physical knowledge.

This is truly a benefit that will last for generations!
Therefore, he had to die to advise Zhu Yuanzhang.

Mei Yin's confidence suddenly became extremely firm.

After Mei Yin took on this task, many things soon flooded into his mind.

It is relatively detailed information about the tax transfer payments made by Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the meantime, there are some solutions.

Mei Yin put all of this into his mind.

Soon, a corresponding solution came to mind.

He already has a plan for how to give Zhuge Liang a death-defying remonstrance the next time Zhu comes.

Also, we need to find ways to put the dissemination of relevant knowledge on the agenda in the future.

This is not an easy thing to do at all.

Mei Yin was very clear how unorthodox what he had done was.

For the scholars at that time, it was definitely like digging up their ancestral graves!

I have affected the interests of a huge class!
Those people will definitely criticize me verbally and in writing, and may even use any means necessary to kill me!

This is not an offense to the individual, but an offense to the whole.

It is simply terrifying how powerful such a large number of literati and scholars are when they come together.

Even though it was the early Ming Dynasty, after experiencing the suppression of the Yuan Dynasty, the class of scholars and literati were no longer so terrifying.

But the power should not be underestimated.

If I really do this later, those people will definitely fight to the death for me!
It can be said that there are so many obstacles that it is difficult to move forward!

But...what can we do even if this is the case!

I have to do this myself as well!

Moreover, not only do we have to do it, we also have to do it beautifully!
Sweep into the trash those who are conservative, corrupt, only think about consolidating their own interests and ignore the development of the country!

Let them go with the wind!
However, this is how I think about it.

If you really want to do it, it's not easy at all.

The most important thing is the strong support from the rulers.

How can I win the strong support of people like Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao?

This matter is really not easy to handle.

It was truly earth-shattering.

The key is that I don’t have a better solution yet.

Explain to them the bright prospects of these new disciplines.

Even if they were described, it would not be easy for them to believe that these were true.

In this day and age, we want to create an academy and promote these things across the country and make them bear fruit quickly.

It won't work just by relying on a few people.

We must win the support of those in power...

Thinking about the difficulties involved, Mei Yin felt that there was no solution for a moment...
