Follow Zhu Yuanzhang to conquer the country

Chapter 32 Li Shanchang is frustrated

Li Shanchang knelt down so humbly, and coupled with these sincere words of advice, the anger accumulated in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart immediately disappeared. What suddenly arose was only guilt and regret that he was not as calm as Li Shanchang, but could get angry so easily.

Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly helped Li Shanchang up, pursed his lips and said to Li Shanchang gently: "Shanchang, please get up quickly. As our elder brother, you can persuade me when I should. How can you kneel down so easily?"

Li Shanchang said: "Although superiors treat Shanchang with courtesy, Shanchang must be loyal and observant of etiquette."

Zhu Yuanzhang then looked at Zhang Cheng: "You heard me, as Shan Chang said, these cannot be mentioned, lest they become human desires and then act rashly."

Zhang Cheng still admired Li Shanchang's words and deeds at this time.

He had to admit that Li Shanchang was worthy of being the future Korean prince in the history of the Ming Dynasty. He was really impeccable in his conduct and conduct. He took this opportunity to beat Feng Guoyong and show himself in front of everyone that he was more powerful than Feng Guoyong and that he did not care about the overall situation. He said that Zhu Yuanzhang would not be dissatisfied because he gave Feng Guoyong such power.

Simultaneously.

This Li Shanchang also prevented himself and his fellow rebel brothers from having a bad feeling towards him and not feeling that he was domineering.

Moreover, Li Shanchang also used the words he used to train Feng Guo to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang not to say anything, and directly turned around and knelt down to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang, which made Zhu Yuanzhang feel even more guilty. He felt guilty that he was not as calm and calm as Li Shanchang. It also made Zhu Yuanzhang see that although Li Shanchang was decisive in doing things, He is very humble about himself, which is undoubtedly in sharp contrast to Zhang Cheng.

Unlike Zhang Cheng, he is very unreasonable and will never hold back even if he has the chance to say a few words.

of course.

Zhang Cheng didn't intend to change either.

For a person who can escape from here at any time, Heguang Tongchen does not exist here in Zhang Cheng. He only hopes that the people and things here will change because of him.

Therefore, Zhang Cheng looked at Li Shanchang at this moment and said: "Since you said that it is natural law to want to get a wife and get rich, why can't you mention it?"

"It's not like I'm going to act rashly just because I mentioned it!"

"For example, it is said that Mr. Li has seven concubines, the youngest of whom is only 28 years old."

"Is it possible that if you, Mr. Li, really want to mention it, you won't be able to control the number of concubines you take, and you will end up taking twenty or thirty concubines?"

Zhang Cheng asked as he spoke.

Then, Zhang Cheng said again: "In addition, the sage said that food and sex are the nature of nature! And you, Mr. Li, also said that nature is the principle. In this way, since it is a natural principle to want to marry a wife, then it is also a natural principle to want to eat. If this principle is You can’t even mention it, doesn’t it mean that if a person is about to starve to death, he can’t say that he is hungry?”

"Just like the superior parents, brothers and sisters, when they are about to starve to death, they can only wait to starve to death without even shouting, is that right?"

"Does it mean that if they shouted back then, they would become human beings, and then they would be destroyed, and then they should not be alive?"

"Then, when the rebel brothers are about to starve to death, shouldn't they be asked why they came to rebel instead of mourning and starving to death?"

After Zhang Cheng said this, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned the color of pig liver.

Li Shanchang also remained silent.

"Mr. Zhang is right!"

"Since it is natural to want to have wives and concubines and make a fortune, then we should mention it. We also want to have seven concubines in the future, just like Mr. Li. If one of them is pregnant or menstruating, plus the main wife, there will be seven more to fuck."

Hua Yun agreed on the spot.

"That's right!"

"I also want to marry several people, this is the law of heaven!"

Other rebel brothers also followed suit.

"Shut up!"

Zhang Cheng suddenly shouted at Hua Yun.

Hua Yun quickly shut up.

The other rebel officers and soldiers who wanted to join in did not dare to join in the booing.

And Zhang Cheng continued here: "Of course, Mr. Li is right to say that the natural principle of wanting more women to make more money should not be excessive, but mentioning it does not mean that it will be excessive. To prevent excessiveness, we can only use the system to control it. Prevention means designing rules to prevent excess based on human nature!”

"Nowadays, Mr. Li is not allowed to mention it in public. If he mentions it, it will turn the law of heaven into human desire. It is easy for people to mistakenly think that Zhu Xi's words are deliberately preventing people from knowing the standard of heaven in everyone's heart. "

"For example, according to Zhu Xi's thought mentioned by Mr. Li, it is natural law to have seven concubines here." "But for some people, it is natural law to have only one wife."

"And if the laws of nature cannot be mentioned, don't you want the people who marry one wife to know that for a wealthy man like Mr. Li, he has to marry seven concubines to be in line with the laws of nature?"

"For another example, here outside Mr. Li, only ten thousand acres of fertile land can be regarded as natural justice."

"But for some people, having more than ten acres of land is a natural principle."

"If the laws of nature cannot be mentioned, wouldn't it be that the people who only want ten acres of land know that in the eyes of landlords like Mr. Li, they must have ten thousand acres of fertile land in order to comply with the laws of nature?"

"Another example is that for the superior parents, brothers and sisters, having enough to eat is the right thing to do."

"For a right-wing man like Mr. Li, it is only natural to eat delicacies from all over the world."

"If the laws of nature cannot be mentioned, wouldn't it be that the poor people like the father, mother, brother and sister-in-law of the upper class, who just want to have a full meal and not starve to death, know that for a powerful man like Yuanwai Li, it is in line with the laws of nature to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas every day? "

Zhang Cheng's series of questions not only caused saliva to fly, but also made Li Shanchang's face red as blood. He wished he could disappear where he was, so he could only raise his hands to cover his face.

But at this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was also very moved.

Although Zhang Cheng once again used his starving father, mother, brother and sister-in-law as an example, he had to admit that what Zhang Cheng said made sense.

If it is true according to what Zhu Xi said, it is natural law to marry a woman and have enough food, and if these natural laws are not allowed to be mentioned, does it mean that you don't want the people to know how much benefit the rich and powerful have to take in order to be considered natural law?

But this way.

It seems that they are deliberately not letting the people know how greedy the wealthy families are.

At the same time, Zhu Xi seemed not to want the people to have the right to speak for themselves.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but ask Li Shanchang: "Is this what Zhu Xi really means, and he doesn't want people to ask for justice?"

Li Shanchang bowed down and said with shame: "The superior Rong is gifted, but it is all because of his talent and lack of knowledge that he misunderstood the sage's words and almost misled the superior. This was not Zhu Zi's intention!"

then.

Li Shanchang had no choice but to sneer at Zhang Cheng and said: "Fortunately, Mr. Zhang made some suggestions, and Shanchang understood that this principle can be mentioned. Women and property can be mentioned. It has nothing to do with excessive adult desire. I misunderstood it myself." The sage said, as the saying goes, it is better to have no books at all than to believe in books. If you are good at it, you will be fascinated by books!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded after hearing this.

Li Shanchang now actively admits that he is not knowledgeable, and there is no other way.

Because it is impossible for him to admit in front of so many people that he advocates that everyone should not tell what they really think, just to prevent the common people from knowing how arrogant and luxurious the rich and powerful families live, and also to prevent the common people from not knowing how to be respectful and admit it. I am very hypocritical.

But at the same time, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but think highly of Zhang Cheng because of what Li Shanchang said, so he imitated Li Shanchang and said frankly: "Mr. Zhang is indeed more knowledgeable. If you hadn't asked me like this, we would have almost lost consciousness." Really, if you can express what you are thinking, it will have such a big impact."

"After you mentioned this, we can understand that if Zhu Xi really does not allow the people to cry out when they are hungry, and cry out that they want women when they want to continue their incense, then it is indeed not a saint, it can only be regarded as an embarrassment. The hateful people of the common people even seem to want to prevent the common people from knowing how arrogant and extravagant the wealthy families are, which is even more sanctimonious."

"Of course, as Shanchang said, he misunderstood. Zhu Zi did not mean this."

"Then we won't say anything."

After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he looked at Li Shanchang: "It's just that he is good at it. In this case, let Mr. Zhang explain Zhu Xi's learning to us. If you are not knowledgeable enough, you will inevitably misunderstand Zhu Xi's words if you continue to explain."

Li Shan's eyes immediately showed a trace of sadness, but he could only say yes.

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Hua Yun and others again: "But, even if you can express your thoughts and complain, why can't you think about your relatives and the people in the world? Why don't you think about your relatives who are starving to death and freezing to death? The villagers are complaining, mention them? Why do you only think about yourself? Everyone only wants to have women and land, where are the filial piety and benevolence? "

Hua Yun and other rebel brothers were speechless when asked by Zhu Yuanzhang, and some even lowered their heads.

Because they couldn't deny that when they told Zhang Cheng what they were thinking, they didn't think about their relatives, friends or the people in the world at all, but only thought about themselves.

However, Zhang Cheng allowed people to be selfish and recognized that people have selfish intentions. He did not think it was shameful for people to have selfish intentions. At this time, he took the initiative to persuade Zhu Yuanzhang: "We must let the brothers do it step by step. How can we do it all at once?" The requirements are so high, it is normal for them to only think about themselves now, and the superior is now willing to think about his relatives, friends and the people of the world, because the superior has become the handsome young master Guo, has married a wife and has children."

"But brothers, even the basic needs of heaven and earth, such as marrying a wife and having children, have not been met. How can you think of the people of the world?"

"Besides, the superiors must also admit that it is natural law for people to want to have many wives and children. This is not inconsistent with thinking about the suffering of relatives, friends, others and the people of the world. And as the brothers contribute more to the world, the requirements in this regard will definitely increase. Gao, this is the law of nature and humanity. Is it possible that if you are in power, you can control yourself, stop having children, stop taking concubines, and then just serve the people of the world?"
