As we all know, officials in Hongwu year basically did not worry about retirement.

Because 80% of people cannot live to retire at all...

But what Chu Ze said in front of Zhu Yuanzhang at this time was not so impressive to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because he already understood what Chu Ze meant.

He thought he had given less!

"Why, boy, do you mean, we have less salary? Let's make these officials feel uncomfortable?"

"Let's tell you the truth, we just want them to live a less comfortable life, so that they can know how the people live!"

"If officials live a comfortable life, they will be full of oil in their mouths. What are they thinking about? What are they going to eat for the next meal! We are going to let them understand well..."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Ze below. He was very unceremonious and prepared to take out his own set of rhetoric to motivate the young man Chu Ze.

However, what he did not expect was that Chu Ze actually interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang's words directly.

Yes, he interrupted the emperor's passionate speech.

"Your Majesty, let's hear it.. If an official can't even afford to eat! They have the right in their hands, and as long as they move, they can make money. What would most people choose between starvation and taking a risk to bet?"

"Watch your wife and children starve to death? Watch your children during the holidays and can't even afford a new piece of clothing?"

"As a minister, you should be loyal to him! As a father, you should teach him! As a husband, you should bear the responsibility! As a son, you should support him!"

"Everyone is human, and everyone's hearts are full of flesh. Being loyal to the king and being responsible for more power is indeed what an official should do."

"But while everyone is an official, they are also a father, a husband, and a child!"

"Does it just be loyal, not filial, not responsibilities of raising children, and taking care of the wife?"

"One is work, the other is family! How many people can be left alone in this world, for work, and abandon their wives and children for the sake of work? If the officials under your command are all like this, for work and for their integrity, you can even watch your wife and children starve to death on the streets, and you will not even have a burial place after your parents die."

"Your Majesty, do you really dare to use such a cruel and ruthless person?"

"I am a latecomer. I can tell Your Majesty very bluntly that during the Hongwu period, the greed of mourning was repeatedly banned. You have successively strengthened the punishment for those who are greedy, which can be said to be completely described as inhumane."

"However, corrupt officials are still like carp crossing the river. There is a very funny record in history: the same wholesale list of officials was sent to the same list, with 364 people, all of whom were Jinshi students, and six people were killed a year later."

"You may think that only six of 364 people died, which means that your torture was still shocking to the hearts of people, right?"

"In fact, the remaining more than 300 people were all punished by death and were punished by death."

"These more than 300 people have been in a year. None of them are fish that have missed the net..."

"As for the crime of death and the crime of slaughtering, it is also a feature of Hongwu years. You should not have implemented it yet. The so-called crime of slaughtering and the crime of slaughtering are those who have committed the death penalty but have not finished their work. Just carry shackles and shackles to continue working."

"After the work is finished, the beheadings who should come back and beheadings who should behead them, and the exileds who should be exiled."

"The main reason for the two charges is that you killed too hard. The speed of recruiting officials cannot keep up."

“…”

Chu Ze threw out all the words he knew in one breath.

He also looked at the legendary figure in front of him with a speechless look on his face.

To be honest, if he hadn't traveled to Hongwu year and became an official.

He really wouldn't choose to stand here.

I used to always read novels, watching other people's protagonists travel through time, calling the wind and rain, and enjoying the world.

As a result, when I got to my place, I had such an embarrassing identity.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince and Your Highness the King of Yan. I know you are all curious, why do I have to be determined to die?"

"The main thing is that I am now, he deserves to die! And he will definitely not die well."

"I have forgotten what I have learned before, and I can't even write well. You have seen this. It's only a matter of time before that I was found strange. Once I was discovered, I was mostly guilty of starting to commit favoritism and fraud in the imperial examination, and then beheaded."

"If I was lucky enough to be discovered, then I would probably not want to have a good meal in my life with such a low salary. Even if I meet true love and want to get married, I am a big man and I can't even support my wife!"

"There is no doubt that greed is inevitable. Among the punishments taken by Hongwu in the Hongwu period to greed officials, it would be considered light to just execute a single Lingchi."

"If I suddenly resign from office, Your Majesty will definitely be suspicious. I am a new juren, young and have a bright future. I suddenly say that I will resign if I resign. Your Majesty will definitely be suspicious and then investigate me."

"Rai Wun even doesn't know where his previous home was. As long as I check it, I will still die!"

"To put it bluntly, after I traveled through time, I was basically dead."

"This is also the reason why I have to be determined to die. Because I have no way out..."

After Chu Ze finished all these words suppressed in his heart in one breath.

At this moment, he felt unprecedented relaxation.

Yes, relax.

That was a sense of relief!

Because he is familiar with history, he knows that after all his words, he will basically be in his life.

So before Zhu Yuanzhang attacked, Chu Ze looked at the crown prince Zhu Biao for the last time.

This prince with the most powerful in history and the prince with the most say.

"Your Highness, I have basically finished saying it. Next, I will trouble you."

"To be honest, as a person from later generations, I am actually very excited to come back. Although I am just a civilian, in later generations, I am just a mediocre person."

"But since I've come here, I still want to do something."

"Please ask the prince to ask me for a favor later and give me a good death."

"In return, I'll say something to you at the end."

"Your Majesty hates corrupt officials and is not at fault. However, due to the times, the limitations are too strong."

"He ignored the officials' salaries and needed to support the office managers of the entire yamen."

"When he carries out his children, he ignores the problem that the family will quickly become larger after several generations."
