Zhang Qianfang still doesn't quite understand that limiting the power of the government also limits the power of the emperor.
Why would the emperor promulgate such a law to tie his hands?
Lu Xiangsheng said: "Your Majesty is wise.
The people of the country know that they are fighting for themselves, so they will naturally strive for the first place.
Knowing that their property is protected by the court, they will naturally support the court and your majesty."
Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "From now on, I will not be able to raid homes or requisition the property of my subjects at will.
But the people of the world don't have to worry about their hard-earned wealth being embezzled.
Mencius said, Those who persevere in wealth have perseverance.
I gave up this small profit, but it made the people of the country feel more at ease and more willing to work hard to accumulate wealth, making the people richer and the country richer, so in the end I made a profit. " The three of them knelt down and said, "There is no wiser person than Your Majesty.
I congratulate the world, congratulate the Ming Dynasty, and congratulate Your Majesty."
Zhu Youxiao waved his hands and said: "Get up, I know the meaning of this law.
There will be more laws in the future.
They may be beyond your expectations, but don't be surprised.
I want every Ming Dynasty person to know how to do it."
Be proud of growing up in such a country, and be proud that everyone will become the king of their own world.”
The three of them looked at each other and made no comment on the emperor's words that everyone will become the king of their own world.
This is a taboo statement.
The emperor can say it, but ministers cannot comment casually.
The next day, the emperor decreed that Zhang Qianfang be granted the title of Marquis of Zhenyuan and Governor of Zhenyuan.
The title of Marquis of Zhenyuan is easy to understand, but Governor of Zhenyuan confuses many people.
Yan Siqi is the governor of the East China Sea and the North Sea, and Zheng Zhilong is the governor of the South China Sea.
There is always another area, but the governor of Zhenyuan is a little unclear.
The imperial edict also ordered Zhang Qianfang to be temporarily stationed in Quanzhou, but it was just an empty governor's palace and there was no one in the army.
Some people think that Zhang Qianfang must have done something to cause the Holy Family to no longer be with him.
Ten days later, the emperor issued a decree to the whole country and promulgated the Ming Dynasty Private Property Protection Law.
This law stipulated that the private property of Ming people was protected and no one was allowed to appropriate it.
Except for violating the law, the government shall not interfere with the property rights of the people of the Ming Dynasty for any reason.
Moreover, no one else is allowed to enter the private residences of the people of the Ming Dynasty without the permission of the owner.
If someone enters a private residence without permission, the owner will first give him a warning.
If he does not exit after the warning, the owner has the right to kill him on the spot.
The Ming Dynasty Weekly published the full text of the law and wrote this paragraph in the editor's note: If you are a law-abiding citizen of the Ming Dynasty, you don't have to worry about the government expropriating your property in any way.
For example, you have a small house.
It may be very dilapidated.
The wind blows in and the rain drifts in.
There is nothing you can do about it.
But the government cannot enter the house without your request, even if it is to help you add tiles, that is not allowed.
Or if our respected Emperor wants to enter this house, he must first get an invitation from the owner.
To put it simply: the wind can enter, the rain can enter, but the emperor cannot enter.
The promulgation of this law did not cause much of a stir.
Private property has always been protected, but now it is only emphasized in the form of special laws.
But the newspaper's editor's note caused an uproar.
A large number of letters from readers condemned the editor's lack of respect for His Majesty the Emperor, believing that the Emperor should be able to enter wherever he wanted without requiring an invitation from the host.
This kind of emperor exceptionalism is actually the common sense of this era, because the entire world belongs to the emperor.
But Zhu Youxiao wanted to change this way of thinking, but he couldn't deny that the whole world must be the king's land, because this would really question the legitimacy of the imperial court.
So he wrote a reader's letter in the name of Mr.

Xiao Qi in the next issue of the newspaper.
He believed that the wind can come in, the rain can come in, but the emperor cannot come in should be understood in this way: after the emperor gives items to his subjects, these items become the private property of the subjects. , and the emperor will certainly not appropriate the private belongings of his subjects.
This is the consciousness that an emperor should have.
Of course, if the subjects love the emperor, are willing to welcome the emperor into their houses, and are even proud of it, that is obviously a good thing and an honor for the emperor.
But in the future, if an emperor does something that makes his subjects dissatisfied, the subjects refuse to invite the emperor into their houses.
As an emperor, of course it is impossible to punish his subjects for this matter, because it is not a crime in the first place.
On the contrary, the emperor should think about why he was rejected and whether he did not do well enough.
This explanation did not satisfy those who opposed it, and they started a long-running debate in the newspapers with some people who supported Mr.
Xiao Qi's statement.
Zhu Youxiao no longer cares about this matter.
Laws can be formulated and promulgated, but wanting to change some ideas in people's minds is obviously a long-term matter.
According to Dongchang Economic Survey Bureau's survey statistics, the promulgation and implementation of this law indeed made most people very happy.
From now on, as long as they do not break the law, their property will be as stable as Mount Tai and can be passed down to future generations.
In this way Who would be dissatisfied with the matter?
It's just that in the imperial court, most officials didn't quite understand the editor's note in the newspaper, and most senior officials knew who Mr.
Xiao Qi was, and they didn't quite understand the emperor's statement in the newspaper.
This meant that the emperor was reducing his power.
At the same time, the emperor was reducing the power of the government.
Of course Zhu Youxiao knew that officials would not act in compliance with this law obediently.
He specifically told Dali Temple that the judgments of all cases related to this law must be reported in a timely manner.
Dongchang Jinyiwei and the Independent Commission Against Corruption have gone all out to investigate the implementation of this law after it was promulgated.
If there is any violation, Jinyiwei will file a prosecution.
Soon after, a case occurred: a butcher in Lulong County killed a man in his home.
He claimed that the man broke into his home without permission and that he had warned him to get out, but he ignored him and had no choice but to kill him.
Jinyiwei immediately launched an investigation and found that the murdered man was the butcher's creditor.
The butcher invited him to discuss repayment of the debt that day.
The butcher did not want to repay the debt and heard about the newly promulgated law, so he became malicious and killed him. at home.
Originally, this matter would not be exposed, because the murdered man's wife and children returned to his hometown to visit relatives.
The butcher secretly agreed with him in the middle of the night to discuss it at his home the next night.
He originally thought that no one would know, and did not want the murdered man's neighbors to get up at night.
Ye Shi heard the conversation between the two, and then the case came to light
