Chapter 1061: The father of the world

Therefore, suppressing the Japanese is not just a contribution.

Its impact is too far-reaching.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "Since that is the case, the cabinet must formulate resettlement strategies, and must restrain these vassals and not let them do anything wrong, but they must also treat each other with courtesy to avoid losing their national system."

Liu Jian hurriedly said: "I obey the order."

Emperor Hongzhi suddenly said: "I have read the report of the Censor's report on the new policies of Baoding Prefecture and Tongzhou. It is said that... they are not bad, especially Yang Yiqing, the governor of Tongzhou. After taking office, he abolished redundant staff, built water conservancy, dredged the canal, and encouraged rural and commercial enterprises. It seems that there are also actions to revitalize industry and commerce. No one from Hezhou was dissatisfied with him. The civil and military officials in the court also praised him."

Liu Jian and Xie Qian looked at each other.

In other words, Yang Yiqing is a real person with a very good reputation and a minister. In fact, everyone likes Ouyang Zhi more when they are selfish, but they put aside their selfishness and make an open mind, but they think that people like Yang Yiqing are the most suitable.

Xie Qian smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Yang Yiqing is honest and honest, and has the experience of a governor. He is impeccable in terms of ability and virtue. The officials he chose are capable officials of my Ming Dynasty. It is natural that he has such excellent achievements."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "You are right, but... I don't mean to discuss the length and shortness of Baoding Prefecture and Tongzhou. I just hope that both can implement the new policy well and set an example for the world. I hope that their brothers will climb mountains and try their best."

"Your Majesty's words are truly like this."

"Ministry of Personnel, I'm going to conduct a Beijing inspection, right?" Emperor Hongzhi said later.

"That is, the one who presided over the Beijing inspection of the Ministry of Personnel this time was Wu Kuan, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel."

Emperor Hongzhi was happy and said, "I have an impression of this person. He was the first in the Jinshi, the top scholar, the imperial examination and the court examination in the eighth year of Chenghua. When I was the crown prince, he also served as a lecturer in the Eastern Palace. Oh, yes, the "Xianzong Records" was edited by him. He was a fair person."

Liu Jian and others nodded one after another: "Yes, Mr. Wu has launched a Beijing inspection and purging the administration is a major event. Wu Kuan has also made a guarantee to take serious action during this Beijing inspection."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded deeply.

Now, he found that he was much more idle, so he smiled and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, who is Samurai Bian?"

"Mr. Wu?" Liu Jian frowned slightly.

"Yes, many people called him Mr. He said he was a master who was well-educated in poetry and books, but this was the first time I heard of this man. He suddenly became famous. It is said that his students are full of students all over the world, and everyone is competing to admire him and is praised by others."

Emperor Hongzhi was stunned: "No wonder many memorials have mentioned this person in recent times. What do you think of this?"

Liu Jian disagreed: "Sensationalists are not worth mentioning."

Emperor Hongzhi thought something.

Xie Qian seems to have no impression of this person.

Li Dongyang smiled and said, "It's right to say that it's sensationalism. However, this person was indeed a famous scholar before. Now, the reason why he has such a momentum is that this person has a good vision. The economic approach he preached has hit the thoughts of many people. Now many families of rich and small wealthy are dissatisfied with Xishan Jianye and money houses. In the past, they were just rich and frugal. Which one is not a big house covering ten acres and a hundred acres of land in their homes, but now they find that this mansion is more than ten times smaller than before, and some people are even more eager to find it in their luxurious mansions and are worried and angry."

Li Dongyang paused: "Your Majesty can you tell me that in a middle-class and wealthy family, is the number of children and servants, different from those in previous years?"

Emperor Hongzhi said in surprise: "You will say all that."

Li Dongyang said: "Five years ago, a middle-aged and wealthy family had hundreds of children and servants. One was the eldest, and they could afford it. The other was that there were many refugees and ordinary people who had a bite of food. Even if they entered the mansion and ate braised vegetables, they would not starve to death. They would also sign a contract to sell their bodies and become slaves and maids. There were women selling their women on the market. If they were mediocre, their value would be less than half a cow."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Who would be a slave to others? He really couldn't survive.

"But now, it's very different. Even if it's a middle-aged and rich family, it's good to have ten slaves in the family. The reason is that people are no longer as cheap as grass, and their value has doubled. If a man wants to sell his energy, he can go to Jianye, Xishan to work as a hard worker. After a month, he will also have two or three taels of silver. If he has some skills, five or six taels of taels of per month is not a problem. If a woman is really not a relative or a reason, she has no support and can work in a textile workshop, which is enough to support herself. Who would be willing to sign a contract to sell her body? Now,

A man with hands and feet is also expensive, and it is worth more than a dozen cows. No one is willing to be a slave if he has to. Not only that, there are many fugitive slaves now. In the past, people were proud to be able to enter a high school, at least not starved to death, but how could the slaves now not know what happened? Therefore, even if they bought people and signed a contract to sell their bodies, the slaves would be restless. If they still feed them the remaining soup and treat them roughly, they would not have no livelihood if they escaped."

Li Dongyang said this and was very moved: "I think that Xishan Jianye's move is actually a harm to others, but it is just a person who is praised by Mr. Wu now, but Your Majesty... is the parents of the people in the world. These victims are the children of Your Majesty. Who are those who make profits from it? A few years ago, the Ming Dynasty's refugees were everywhere and the poverty was shocking. Now, many people have food and their lives have improved. Therefore, the families of Dafu and Xiaofu,

It was a bit sad, and they couldn't afford it anymore. So many servants lived in the mansions, and they were becoming more and more depressed. They held a lot of silver in their hands, and they could rest assured. Now, they were panicked, afraid that the more and more silver there would be, making their silver more and more worthless. They complained about it. The so-called Mr. Wu was just to dedicate his preferences and make it mysterious, which won the applause of countless people. People praised him and compared him as a national teacher. That's all."

Li Dongyang paused: "Although this person's reputation is at its peak, but Your Majesty, those who praise him, have any voices asked, have anyone ever asked, those who work hard in the workshop for three meals a day, whether those ordinary and miserable people recognize this person, I dare to use Fang Jifan's head as a guarantee..."

“…”

Li Dongyang smiled narrowly: "They don't recognize it. The 100 million subjects of the Ming Dynasty were praised by thousands of people. It's nothing. Your Majesty is the parents of the people, and he weighs the interests of it."

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Li Qing's words made me suddenly enlightened. I know..."

Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Xie Qian left Fengtian Hall, and they were talking casually while heading towards the cabinet.

"Mr. Li, the warrior Bian Da made a name for himself. Many people in the capital have thoughts and want to sell a house. Don't Li Gong's family have nine acres, do you have any plans?"

Xie Qian seemed to be undecided now. He was from a wealthy family in Jiangnan and bought a lot of real estate. He was thinking about whether to take it off. Li Dongyang was the smartest among the three. Ask him and feel at ease.

Li Dongyang smiled, looked at Liu Jian first, and then said, "In any prosperous era, this mansion close to the imperial city will not have a single spill. It is nothing more than a question of not rising or how much it will rise. In other places, I dare not speak nonsense, but the new city... can be determined. Of course, the only thing that has doubts is whether the country of the Ming Dynasty will flourish now and in the future. Many people say that life is hard, and I don't think so, what does Xie Gong think?"

Xie Qian thought something: "Okay, then I won't sell it."

Liu Jian was in a state of disgrace, land, salary, and these... He no longer cared about him. He only cared about his son who went to sea. God knew that now, this guy who was injected with chicken blood and wanted to go to teach all directions and make a statement for the saints, where is he dead or alive now.

He sighed, and tears came out of his eyes inexplicably.

…………

Zhu Houzhao ran to Zhenguo Mansion in a hurry and cried.

"The research can't continue." His eyes were red.

Fang Jifan's heart suddenly burst into flames. After spending so much money on his own, you said that you can't continue. The hard-earned money I spent on selling the house was still at ease. You, Zhu Houzhao, were so unconscientious.

Of course, Xiao Zhu is his friend. Now that he has just rejected the imperial edict, he is still waiting for Zhu Houzhao's father to give another imperial edict, so he can accept it hesitantly.

This is called being reluctant to do so. It is a traditional way for scholars and officials to express their humility. Although Fang Jifan does not belong to scholars and officials, he can also learn from advanced experience.

Fang Jifan comforted Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Highness, have you encountered difficulties? Don't be discouraged."

"No, no, no, no." Zhu Houzhao was dejected: "My more than a dozen father-in-laws, I don't know what the wind has heard. They all say that our money house and land will be unsustainable. In the past ten, I am afraid that I can't pay back the money, so I go to the Steam Research Institute all day long..."

Fang Jifan was furious: "This group of dog-like things are so brave. Your Highness is the prince after all, what are you afraid of? Humph, how many bad money is there? How can you beat them out so presumptuously?"

"You don't understand." Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "They didn't scold or make trouble. They just followed behind the palace with a smile, asking about his well-being, saying that the crown prince is amazing and knows everything. They also said that their son is going to marry, which is pitiful. They also said that they are sick and cannot afford to cure them, and they are poor. Although they didn't mention the money, I... felt disgusted."
