The Savior never showed up?
Ming Xiaoling (** from the Internet).
There are many testimonies of Zhu Yuanzhang's love for the people.
In the 25th year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang published the first textbook on clean government in Chinese history, "The Awakening Strategy of Clean Government".
The book points out that Zhu Yuanzhang laid the theoretical foundation for the salary scale of civil servants.
The monthly salary of Yipin in the Ming Dynasty was 87 stone of rice, which was the highest annual salary among **, reaching 1 044 stone. One stone of rice in the Ming Dynasty today is equal to about 155 carats. At $3 per stone of rice today, that equates to an annual salary of about $480,000.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang calculated another account and found that the salary was actually too high.
To extract rice from rice, 1 044 rice stones are required to process 2 620 rice stones.
However, 873 hectares of land are required to produce 2 620 pieces of ricotta.
Oxen are needed to plow the land, and 50 hectares of land require 17 cows per cow.
The labor cost of working in the field, calculated as 1 person plowing 15 hectares of land, requires 57 people to plough it.
57 men and 17 cows work and produce for a year to pay a civil servant of the first rank for a year.
When harvesting grains, farmers can only produce four-tenths of rice per load of rice, i.e. 1 044 loads of rice can be harvested to produce 6 550 stone of rice.
It's one mile from the field to the threshing floor and one mile back to the threshing floor, two miles each way, for a total of 13,100 miles.
Therefore, the salary of 87 rice cakes per month for a first-class civil servant may not seem like much, but one has to put in a lot of labor and effort to earn it. A man has to carry a weight for thousands of miles. Can you say that this salary is less?
Zhu Yuanzhang said"This is true of flesh and bones, of grain and grass, and of labor"。The meaning of this sentence is very clear: all wages come from the already small amount of people's fat and people's anointment.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked an amazing question:
Can the family of a court official who is rich, insatiable, refuses to ask for the people's lives, and specializes in corrupting and perverting the law, be responsible for his death? "
So you guys who are holding the court are not satisfied, and you want to continue. When your family is ruined, don't blame me Zhu Yuanzhang for being ruthless.
In the 276-year history of the Ming Dynasty, from the founding of the state to its demise, the number of Yulu has not increased once.
Did you say that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like people when he saw him?
If you think so, you're wrong!
Let's look at another page of Zhu Yuanzhang.
In the third year, eleventh year, and twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang had twenty-four sons and one grandson as the prince, and was divided into eighteen kingdoms from the prince. The kings of Qin, Jin, Yan, Ning, Dai, Qing, Liao, Su, Gu, Min, and Shu guarded the major cities in the northwest, north, and southwest frontiers, while the other kings were scattered in the hinterland of the metropolis.
Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that the vassal king must pay 50,000 grains of rice every year.
The annual salary of a judge is 90 kuru. In other words, the salary of one feudal lord is equivalent to the salary of 555 judges. As we have already said, for the salary of a single product**, the people need to move 13,100,000 tons of grain. On the other hand, the salary of a feudal lord is about 48 times that of a first product**. In other words, people can walk 360,000 kilometers (in the Ming Dynasty, one mile is equal to about 576 meters) to collect grain, a number that can circle the earth 9 times (we can know from the advertising creative of a certain milk tea).
You're not saying"Work for food"Is it? But they were so generous to their sons.
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that these feudal lords had too much rice grain, so he reduced the rice grain to 10,000 stones.
But the Zhu family does not have only one courtier, but many.
Zhu Yuanzhang bought them rice grain: 2,000 stone for the king of the district, 1,000 stone for the general of Zhenguo, 800 stone for the deputy general, 600 stone for the general Fengguo, 400 stone for the captain of Zhenguo, 300 stone for the deputy captain, and 200 stone for the captain of Fengguo; 2.The princess is a thousand stones, a horse, 800 stones for the district marquis and Yibin, 600 stones for the district marquis and Yibin, 400 stones for the county, 400 stones for the county, 300 stones for the county, 300 stones for the county, 300 stones for the town army, and 200 stones for the town army. Princess.
After seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's preferential treatment of the descendants of the Zhu family, do you still think that Zhu Yuanzhang is really affectionate and righteous?
As we all know, in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the number of these Ming Dynasty clans was as high as hundreds of thousands, and their Yulu and rice grains became a huge burden for the Ming Dynasty, which was also an important reason for the financial crisis in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.
One of the most important reasons for the fall of the Ming Dynasty was the financial crisis.
Therefore, it is logical to say that the Ming Dynasty died because of Lu Mi, a descendant of the Zhu family.
We know that Zhu Yuanzhang killed tens of thousands of people at every turn, and severely punished the law. In the four major cases of Lan Yu, Li Shanchang, Guo Huan, and Kong Yin, more than 100,000 people were killed.
There are some tortures in history, and Zhu Yuanzhang has also used them. For example: burning, fibularization, awakening, castration. Scarring is the engraving of the face, fibulary punishment is cutting off the legs, awakening punishment is cutting the nose, and castration is the palace punishment.
There is nothing more cruel than cutting off a man's skin and piercing him in the grass, that is, cutting off the skin of a man and piercing him in the grass.
Many people say that these punishments are to crack down on corrupt officials and powerful ministers, yes, the Guo Huan case and the empty seal case are all to fight corruption. But if you think that Zhu Yuanzhang's main purpose is to curb illegality and corruption, then you are very wrong, because the biggest outlaw in the world is the son of the Zhu family!
The king snatched people's fiancée and did not return it.
The king of Qi brought the women of folklore to the palace, and when he got tired of playing, he burned them to ashes with a fire;
The king of Tan killed two places for no reason. In the twenty-third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yuanzhang summoned Zhu Di, the king of Tan. Zhu Di has never done anything bad in his life. When he saw his father summoning him, he died.
King Lu is the most extreme.
King Lu and his wife tricked 10-, 7-, and 8-year-old children into playing in the palace and castrated some of them. Not only that, King Lu also brought the children trapped in the soldiers' barracks to the palace to get rid of them. King Lu believed in Taoism and thought of immortality, so he caught ninety-nine boys during alchemy, which was really a loss of conscience.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry with King Lu, and said three times that he would lynch Concubine Lu, and twice said that he would sentence Concubine Lu to death, but nothing happened.
During his conquest of Xifan, the Jin king Zhu Mian plundered and castrated 150 maidens and 150 servants, many of whom died due to lack of skill. Zhu Mian was very fond of his concubine Deng, and in order to please her, he tortured the concubines and sent people to the coastal chiefs and ministers to force them to accept precious stones and jade, resulting in the destruction of many families.
Cutting out the tongues of his subjects, burying them in the snow and freezing to death, tying them to trees and starving to death, and burning them with fire were mostly the basic procedures of the Qin kings.
So-called"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people", is an illusion caused by watching too many TV series. Judging from the punishment set by Zhu Yuanzhang, it is not an exaggeration to kill his son with a thousand cuts. But did Zhu Yuanzhang kill his own son? Of course not.
How did Zhu Yuanzhang deal with the crimes of the princes and kings?
The feudal lord had committed a crime, and if it wasn't for the rebellion, he would have organized a family meeting to discuss how to save him. In other words, the crimes of the feudal lords were not subject to the jurisdiction of the courts.
If the king and his descendants committed any crime in their fiefdom, the emperor could only prophesy and counsel them, but could not send them for interrogation or torture, even if they were guilty.
To put it bluntly, as long as you don't rebel, you can do whatever you want in the palace.
In Chinese history, Zhu Yuanzhang was known for his love for the people. But his so-called love for the people is just a shield, a cover he put up in order to let the descendants of the Zhu family enjoy wealth and glory forever.
Here is the song "There Was No Savior".
