As a feudal emperor, Sheng Taizu also regarded the people as his own private property, and could not have thoughts such as freedom and equality. But at least compared with other feudal emperors, he was more aware of the difficulties of the people and knew how to let the people recuperate and live a happy life. The principles of a good life.

If these scholar-bureaucrats were really allowed to do what they did, and if they really shared the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, the Great Sheng Dynasty would never have survived for more than two hundred years.

But unlike those emperors who wanted to change but couldn't, Sheng Taizu had a way.

Other emperors had only one way to deal with the uncooperation of the bureaucrats, and that was to give in.

What if you kill everyone and leave no one to work? Then you can only make do with it.

But for Sheng Taizu, this problem would not exist.

If you don’t cooperate? Then kill!

So what if we kill all these officials? I can handle it all by myself!

As a result, the unconvinced officials met the emperor, a model worker who was extremely capable in governing the country and extremely energetic, and this ended up happening.

For the officials and landowners, of course they were dissatisfied. We have been the masters in all dynasties. We lived together in the fish and meat village. Why should we be the grandsons in your prosperous dynasty?

And Taizu Sheng's answer was: If you are not your grandson, then the people will have to go through the tragedy of exchanging sons and eating them again!

Therefore, in Sheng Taizu's mind, he certainly did not think that he was still a common people. As a representative of the ruling class, the emperor could not really stand on the same side as the common people.

But this kind of way of governing the country will indeed allow ordinary people to live a relatively good life.

But the price is that the scholar-bureaucrats who hold the pen will definitely describe it as an unprecedented dark dynasty, ruled by tyrants.

Chu Ge shook his head slightly and continued to immerse himself in the pile of memorials, looking for the next case.
