Chapter 421 Atonement Silver

??ct?+ng?f.??????l07a?-x2?7??m?r????7??”\r

After all the tops were beheaded, the scholars and people around Caishikou couldn't help but shout loudly, which was really acclaim! \r

This excitement is undoubtedly a rare phenomenon in the Ming Dynasty and even throughout the thousands of years of history of China, because the source of their emotions is due to the challenge of the dignity of the nation and the emotional reaction.\r

This shows that Zhu Youxiao's deliberate guidance of the country has already had a good effect, and no longer only pays attention to benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness, and learns literature, martial arts and arts and imperial families.\r

Perhaps in the future, there will be such a trend of thought that they will no longer be loyal to the current saints and can maintain order for this country, but will transfer from their own emperor to the Ming Empire.\r

At that time, I am afraid that the imperial power of my descendants in my future generations will be challenged again, and even constitutional monarchy will appear directly. The worst result may be that my descendants will not compromise and embark on the path of Louis XVI.\r

But these are things that I cannot control as a time traveler. I am not a member of the Zhu family, and there is no need to take responsibility for whether the Zhu family can take over this empire for a long time.\r

For their descendants in this world now, as a modern person, Zhu Youxiao did not want them to be this emperor and always be responsible for the future of this empire. They should have their own life journey, and how to choose is their business.\r

But since as a father, Zhu Youxiao felt it was necessary to ensure that they could have a better material life in the future, so Zhu Youxiao felt it was necessary to further establish the spiritual belief of scholars and the people in the royal family in the future, that is, the royal family could not control the administrative order of the empire, but could still serve as a spiritual symbol of imperial etiquette and order, so that faith would not be interrupted or lacked due to the pursuit of utilitarianism and materiality.

Nowadays, scholars and the people at least don’t know what the society can still operate without emperors. In their world, they still think that this world cannot be without emperors. What Zhu Youxiao needs to do is to further consolidate their thinking. In the Ming Empire, there cannot be without emperors!

Looking at the large pool of blood on the ground and the desperate crawling towards him and refused to die immediately. When his pupils gradually dissipated were staring at him, Qian Qianyi couldn't help but sit on the ground, his stomach was rumbling and wanted to spit it out, but he couldn't spit it out. He murmured: "I killed someone, I killed someone!"\r

However, Qian Qianyi immediately realized that he had lost his composure. He stood up while the people were still shouting loudly because they were being cut in half and did not notice him. He shouted loudly, "Everything is quiet!"

No one expected that the scholars and people were particularly obedient at this time. After Qian Qianyi pressed his hands down, all the scholars and people stopped cheering and waited for Qian Qianyi's speech.\r

When Qian Qianyi saw this scene, he suddenly felt a sense of heroism, and he finally experienced the feeling of a hundred responses.\r

"My Ming Dynasty is the country above the Celestial Kingdom, and my Ming people are the people of the country above the Celestial Kingdom. The dignity of my Ming Dynasty cannot tolerate any provocation from the barbarians, and the dignity of my Ming people cannot tolerate any provocation from the barbarians. But now the Crown Prince of Java, who is just a small country, ignores the dignity of my Celestial Kingdom, teases the good women of my Celestial Kingdom, and kills my Celestial Kingdom people. This is a sin of unforgivable crime. If you do not punish severely, you will not be able to exalt our country's power! Therefore, today, in front of all the scholars and people, he will behead this person in half to serve as a warning!"

Qian Qianyi's passionate words made the crowd more excited, and he himself returned to normal from the initial shock of the murder. He even seemed to be a few years younger, and he had a bit of calmness and demeanor to be named Honglu in the Golden List.\r

The incident of the Crown Prince of Java being beheaded in half for killing spread in the Siyi Pavilion and the entire Ming Dynasty. Other foreign players had to restrain themselves. In addition, the previous killing of hundreds of meters of Cossack cavalry and the execution of the Earl of Folangji Turiya, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, not long ago, all of which showed the Ming Dynasty's tough attitude towards foreign players to other countries in the world.\r

Other envoys from Java were also locked in the Four Barbarians' Hall on the grounds of admonishing the crown prince. Although these were beaten to the point of injury, the lower-level officials of the Ming Dynasty were very determined to turn their faces and did not give them any medicine to treat them. They let them silence in their small cell.

And these other envoys from Java can only dare not speak out. They only hope to release them back as soon as possible, and they vowed that they would never take a step in this Middle-earth step again.\r

They hate the Han people in their country very much, because in their opinion, this so-called Ming Dynasty is not a paradise, nor a gentle and rich village, but a hell! It is the place where the devil lives!

However, according to Zhu Youxiao's habit of having to lift the hair even if the geese pass by, it is impossible for these powerful officials such as the Duke and Secretary of the Ming Dynasty to accompany their crown prince to the Ming Dynasty to return to China so easily. These may be ordinary people to the Ming Dynasty, but they are very important politicians for Java. If you want to return to China, you have to pay a ransom.\r

Because Zhu Youxiao had asked the Ministry of Justice to determine the punishment for these people, the most serious one would have to be sentenced to five years and the least minor one would have to be sentenced to three years. However, in order for the relationship between the two countries to continue to be friendly, Zhu Youxiao specially ordered that the other country send foreign ministers to negotiate, and could use a certain amount of money to redeem the crimes committed by the other country's personnel in the Ming Dynasty.\r

Zhu Youxiao called this atonement silver, which was also a precedent for the Ming Dynasty to implement atonement silver. However, unlike Yongzheng, the Ming Dynasty atonement silver was not for officials, but for foreigners. However, this atonement silver was limited to the punishment of exile. In other words, if you committed an unforgivable sin in the Ming Dynasty, you cannot redeem it with money.\r

But because of this atonement silver, Zhu Youxiao was also scolded by other countries in the world as a money-making emperor. Even Galileo, a scientist who loves to keep a diary, also commented on Zhu Youxiao in this way: "This is an emperor with a split personality. He is particularly tolerant and preferential to his people and foreigners who are willing to serve the empire. He is always generous and exempted from their taxes and bonuses. However, he is extremely stingy to other people who are hostile or do not serve the Ming Dynasty, and he exploits them as much as possible, and even does not hesitate to operate some dirty trade that is enough to destroy the fate of this race, such as opium."\r

Zhu Youxiao naturally didn't care how these foreigners evaluated him. He was just serving the interests of the Ming Dynasty. What he had to do was to constantly expand the interests of the Ming Dynasty. He didn't care about what he responded to Java. He even wanted to anger Java from the incident and seek reasons for his slaughtering Java.\r

Even Zhu Youxiao deliberately published a letter in newspapers, that is, the Ming Dynasty was born in the Song Dynasty, and the Java Kingdom in South China was originally a place developed by the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty, and the people of the Southern Song Dynasty were the people of the Ming Dynasty. In other words, the Java Kingdom should also belong to the territory of the Ming Dynasty.\r
