Interests are the greatest driving force that drives people forward. In just two days, Li Zhigang, the Minister of Rites, sorted out the number of untouchables in various provinces in the Ming Dynasty as much as possible according to the existing archives of the Ministry of Revenue, for fear that they will not be detailed.

At the same time, the origin of these untouchables and the low status of life, etc., have been transformed into beautiful articles that make people cry.

But what surprised him was that the emperor did not reply immediately after reading it.

He knew the emperor was waiting for a good opportunity.

Fortunately, this day is coming soon.

~

Three days later, the Ganqing Palace Meeting.

Nearly a hundred people including officials above the six ministries, as well as the Hanlin Academy of the Censorate, the Minister of the Nanshufang, and other ministers were present.

Since Zhu Yunyu ascended the throne, his ministers have gradually discovered that the prosperous emperor now does not like the former Emperor Hongwu, who insists on the imperial gate to listen to the government and Fengtian Palace, regardless of the cold and heat. Instead, he has a special liking for core meetings like the Ganqing Palace.

In fact, small meetings are more efficient and more direct. The officials are in two rows. Although they look a little dark, they can see who is at a glance.

"Have Fang Bin, the prefect of Yingtian, arrived?" Zhu Yunxiu sat on the dragon throne in a bright yellow dragon robe and asked faintly.

"I'm here!" Fang Bin came out of the row of officials to salute.

"What happened to the case a few days ago?" Zhu Yunxi asked.

Everyone knows what the emperor is talking about, it is the ugly incident of the Imperial College. In the past few days, people are sarcastic about the people's gloating and sarcasm of the streets and alleys of the Imperial College. The students of the Imperial College dare not go out to take the streets.

When talking about this, the officials of the Hanlin Academy Censorate were all ashamed. The Imperial College Supervisor and the Imperial College Supervisor were even more ashamed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

"If you go back to the emperor, the case has been found out!" Fang Bin shouted, "Although the student Xu Zhian committed murder in the daytime, causing a bloody crime, he could not die if he was guilty of his crime. He was exiled to Yunnan for fifty times!"

"Well, it's appropriate to deal with it like this!" Zhu Yunyu nodded, "If human nature is evil, there will always be horrifying things in the world. The so-called law also requires the word reason first. Xu Zhian is angry and kills people. The four words "explainable" are well said. What is necessary is the word "explainable" is the four words "explainable". In the future, not only Yingtian Prefecture, but also the provincial supervisory department of the world, and the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice must be used to handle cases according to the discretion and reasoning. Only by following the cause of the matter can we punish evil and promote good!"

"The emperor is wise!" said the ministers.

Zhu Yunxi glanced at them lightly again, "What else is there?"

"I have a memorial!" The counselors from Nanshufang stood in the first row, and Xie Jin was second to last, leaving the line and opening his mouth.

As soon as he appeared, many people's eyes suddenly froze.

The case just now was just an opening remark, and the main show has just begun.

"What's the matter with me?" Zhu Yunxi asked with a smile.

"Since the Ming and Yuan dynasties, the world has washed away the Hu energy, and the Han family has been bright and bright!" Xie Jin said, "China has prospered again in the era of Rao Shun. The country's warehouse is well-known for its etiquette, and it has wiped out the slump of hundreds of years since the Song Dynasty."

"However, my Ming Dynasty also had bad policies at this time. The untouchables of the former Yuan Dynasty were still prevalent in the world and had not been changed. The sage said that all the kings under the sky were the kings, and those who were the kings and ministers under the sun and the moon were the people of the Ming Dynasty. Why are they good and cheap?"

"How are untouchables not human? Suppressing good people is a bad rule, which is a bad rule in the previous dynasty. Our rituals and education are based on the people. Like these things that are injustice, I think they should be eliminated forever, so as to show that I am wise and have a kindness to be gentle in the world and to achieve the emperor's feelings for raising all the people!"

After Xie Jin finished speaking, there was a faint whisper in the hall.

The counselor of Nanshufang and the six ministers of the Secretariat frowned and pondered. The matter of the untouchables has been around for a day or two, so why did it be raised at this time? Who knows that this matter is not difficult, but is it in the bones?

And the Hanlin Academy is very puzzled. As the spokesperson of Qingliu in the South Study, what do you have to say about these things?

Their expressions were all in sight of Zhu Yun's high-ranking appearances.

Then, his eyes fell on Li Zhigang.

"I have heard of the things that are cheap and the people in the world are inferior to others everywhere, like slaves!" Zhu Yunxiu pondered, "But, who knows how many people are there?"

"Please report!" Li Zhigang stood up immediately.

The movement was so fast that it surprised the officials of the Ministry of Rites around him.

"The facts of my poor family in the Ming Dynasty followed the previous dynasty, mainly including lazy people from Zhejiang, Shaanxi music from Shaanxi music from Peking, Guangdong, Jiuxian fishermen from Zhejiang. Beggar households from Zhili, and servants from Huainan and Huainan and Huainan and other people!"

"In the 23rd year of Hongwu, there were rough statistics, and a total of 720,000 people were found. But to this day, it is probably far more than 800,000!"

As he spoke, he continued, "I am talking about the matter of expelling the lowly people as the scholar said. All the people in the world are the emperor and the people, and they should be treated equally. Moreover, the poor people are despised by the people, the people regard them as servants, and the government regards them as servants, which has long been miserable. If this bad policy persists, it will be a name that hurts the emperor's benevolence!"

"So many?" Zhu Yunxiu frowned deeply on the dragon throne, "How did these lowly people come from?"

When Li Zhigang saw the emperor continue to ask questions, his heart was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and his eyes shone, "There are the survivors and prostitutes in Beiping, Shaanxi, and other people in Liao and Jin dynasties, as well as the old people of the Mongolian Yuan. Since the Song Dynasty, dynasties have changed in the north, and it is common for sinners to be bitchers."

"The lazy people in Zhejiang are mostly after the Song Dynasty. Mongolians divided ten households, and the Wu people are still humble to this day! They are so arrogant that they can drive away ghosts, carry sedan chairs, and act. Not only are they not allowed to work and farm in the imperial examination, intermarry with good people, travel, and even clothes cannot be like good people."

"Guangdong's nanmen live on the sea for generations and cannot land. They are illiterate and polite, and they are often humiliated by the people!"

"There are also fishermen's surnames, who wander on the Qiantang River and fish for their business."

"The servants in Huainan and Huainan are even more shocking. I know that there are two surnames in a village in one place. But one surname is the main one, and the other surname is the servants of this surname. The power of life and death is all in the hands of the master, so how different is it from a slave?"

"He has done his homework!"

Zhu Yunxiu listened silently and said in his heart.

The origin of the untouchables is complex, and most of them are foreign immigrants due to historical reasons, so they are discriminated against and suppressed by the locals. In feudal dynasties, those with land were the people and the government protected them. These people who had no land and could not read and read, were naturally the lowest level.

"The world should be treated equally!" Zhu Yunxiu said, "It is indeed urgent to be a rude thing." As he said, he looked at everyone, "What do you think your beloved?"

The next second, what surprised Zhu Yunyu was that it was Zhu Gaochi who stood up and spoke.

"I also think it should be so!" Zhu Gaochi stood, with Xie Jin and two lenient people alone, and said, "Justice Li said just now that there are at least 700,000 untouchables in the world. If these 700,000 people are all given as good people, then I, the Ming Dynasty, will have more than 700,000 people who are diligent and honest. But if I ignore them and let them be bullied for generations, there will be more than 700,000 people who are resentful to the court!"

"What you said is extremely!" Zhu Yunxiu nodded, "But I think it cannot be superficial at this time. Putting it as a good citizen is just a document. But in the future, how to make a living and settle down is the top priority. Who do you think is a great task?"

While he said, he observed the expressions of the ministers below. China's affairs have never been difficult at the decision-making level, but at the execution level. There are too many smart people, and no one wants to suffer a loss.

"The emperor clearly understands thousands of miles!" Xie Jin said, "It is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. Giving them a way to make a living is a good strategy once and for all." As he said, he paused, "This matter is a virtue that is difficult to see throughout the ages, and it is also a holy grace that benefits all people. Therefore, I think that such matters cannot be taken by a strong minister!"

"Old Jie, choose me!" Li Zhigang shouted wildly in his heart.

"I guess someone in your heart has chosen it?" Zhu Yunsheng smiled.

Xie Jin spoke, "I really have a choice, I have a noble identity and kindness. The former emperor often praised him as the royal horse, and will be my wise king in the future..."

"You little girl!"

Zhu Gaochi's heart skipped a beat and cursed inwardly, "So you are going to push me out?"

At this moment, Xie Jin smiled in everyone's surprised eyes, "Your Highness, the prince of the king, the prince, the prince!"

"I'm going to discuss it!" As soon as I finished speaking, the Qinggui scholars from the Hanlin Academy stood up and expressed their opinions.

"Well! It's a good candidate!" Zhu Yunxiu pretended to be pondering, "The prince of Yan is my dear, and he is the general rule of the royal family, and the local people dare not respond perfunctorily." As he said that, he shook his head slightly, "However, he is inevitably a little lonely!"

Suddenly, the Heat in Li Zhigang's heart started to burn again.

"For the pardon of the untouchables in the world, Zhu Gaochi, the prince of the King of Yan, is the general leader, and Li Zhigang, the minister of the Ministry of Rites, is the deputy." Zhu Yunsheng said, "I hope you and the two of you will work together to do my first virtue after ascending the throne!"

"I will obey the order!"

Zhu Gaochi was weak, while Li Zhigang was excited and excited.

Once you have power, even if you become a dog with fatigue!

Anyone who dares to block my way will kill me!

It seemed that his passionate energy made Zhu Gaochi smell a little. Zhu Gaochi turned his head slightly to observe the other party, then lowered his head and showed an undetectable sneer on the corner of his mouth.

"Idiot!"

"I have a memorial!"

Duke Cao Li Jinglong suddenly stood up again, attracting attention.

Such moral politics is the business of civil servants. What are you, a military man, involved in?

"Come on!" Zhu Yunsheng said.

But when he saw that Li Jinglong did not speak immediately, he tidied up his robes and bowed solemnly.

"The emperor is compassionate and pity for the people. I am so moved by my heart when I heard this. How has China ever seen a saint who treats the world like a brother and a saint like a prince in the past few hundred years?"

"This virtue and governance are implemented in the world and avoid being a good person. The emperor's move has made everything in Yao, Heaven and Shun not be surrounded by it. Not only those who live in the world, those who live in the untouchables and those who die will carry grass. That is, after thousands of generations, all the people will share the emperor's kindness."

Look, how good it is!

Even though Zhu Yunxiu heard Li Jinglong's flattery a lot, he was still feeling comfortable at this moment.

And those literati from the Hanlin Academy looked at Li Jinglong and cursed in their hearts, "Shameless, you took such a good photo. How can we write a compilation of praises in the future?"
