Chapter 1616: Treat the poor first
After listening to Fang Jifan's promise.
Emperor Hongzhi felt a little relieved, and then smiled and said, "Even if they rebel, so what? If I can't even suppress the scholars, how can I dominate the world?"
So, I continued to lower my head and eat crabs.
This crab tastes troublesome, but it tastes very good, especially this crab roe, which is paired with warm rice wine, and has endless aftertaste.
Emperor Hongzhi took a few bites, then looked up at Zhu.
But seeing that Zhu just stood quietly aside and did not make a sound easily, Emperor Hongzhi said, "Come on, sit down and talk to me."
He had a little more respect for Zhu.
This is an unusual woman.
Zhu did not postpone it because of his identity and ethics, so he sat down as he said.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu with great enthusiasm and said, "I have been in Nanjing for the most part in Xiaoling Mausoleum. I can't see anything. I have been in Nanjing for a long time, but I have heard of it?"
Obviously, Emperor Hongzhi trusted Zhu.
Zhu said: "Your Majesty, I am just a woman's family. I don't go out of the gate and walk between the two gates. How can I hear anything? It's just... If Your Majesty asks, I will tell you everything and say everything."
Emperor Hongzhi sighed at this time and said, "In Xiaoling, the people in the mountains have been banned from firing and poaching. Over the years, I have seen some people who are in rags and hunger and cold. Alas... It makes me unable to sleep or eat."
Emperor Hongzhi was indeed a good emperor, and even thought of many things far-reachingly. Compared with gentry, Emperor Hongzhi was even more worried about these poor people. Entering Xiaoling Mausoleum was a crime of death. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a rebellion, but the people still flocked to it, which shows how the laws of the court and the people's hearts reached.
Zhu thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty... These people are not an exaggeration to say that they are traitors. But... after thinking about it carefully, it is also a force for life. Xiaoling is the place where Emperor Gao of Emperor Taizu is located, so we must be very careful to prevent it. This is the dragon vein."
Zhu paused and said, "Your Majesty asked me, hoping to know why the people would do this... Your Majesty... I have also heard a lot of rumors. Not to mention other places, just talking about Nanjing, this Nanjing city is indeed singing and dancing, but what about this city outside of this city? I learned from the people in the mansion that the refugees could not survive anymore, so I gathered up and became bandits. I also heard that there are people who are good people on weekdays, but at night, they became water thieves and horse thieves. The Duke of Wei was ordered to conquer Nanjing, but it was not very suppressed. When I was young, when I married here, it was fine. These rumors were only occasionally. When my grandsons were old, such things were not new at all."
As he said that, Zhu sighed with concern.
Finally hearing the truest truth, Emperor Hongzhi frowned even deeper, and behind the peace of Jiangnan, it was so terrible.
In this way, those people who entered Xiaoling Mausoleum to steal and hunt were considered "good".
Zhu continued, "Some people have also said that the southerners are unruly, with a large number of them, and they are not worthy of education."
She glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, but then said, "But the people in the south are so arrogant, I don't know."
Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Fang Jifan carefully sucked the crab legs on the side and said, "This is not simple, isn't it just a matter of poverty? Jiangnan is not as good as other places. Other places are poor mountains and rivers. People are poor, and rich families are not much better. Jiangnan is a land of fish and rice, and can weave silk and make porcelain. The rich family smells smelly, but there are frozen bones on the road. This poor and crazy person is not covered in clothes and cannot eat. Who is willing to be willing to see the wine pond and meat forest in the rich family? It is not that the southern people are stubborn, but they are afraid of poverty. Poverty plan, wealth has a conscience, Your Majesty... Look at my son ministers, no one in the world doesn't say that the son ministers are good, but no one who knows that the son ministers are good. It's well-known and praised. But I'm very blunt, I'm really so good?"
Fang Jifan spit out a crab shell and said seriously: "The reason is nothing more than that, if the son has money at home, he will naturally be too lazy to compete with others for profit. With money, he can do some elegant things. For example, if the son loves reading the most and loves to read good books, the despicable worldly loves to read the Tao Te Ching and the Spring and Autumn Period, and enjoys this. The son is still kind and generous, but when he sees the poor, he can't stand it. He can't bear it and sees people poorer than the son. But what if the son is not full? The son can still read the Tao Te Ching and the Spring and Autumn Period, can he still be kind and generous?"
Emperor Hongzhi nodded. His Majesty, who was very rare to leave the palace a long time ago, is now different. His experience is already extremely rich, and he can understand the meaning of Fang Jifan's words: "That is true, so in the final analysis, the way to educate is to cure the poor first, not to get rid of this disease, and talk about education in a luxurious way, so that people can learn to follow the vassal, and do their best to share the worries of the court and not violate the law. This is tantamount to seeking fish from a tree."
Emperor Hongzhi cheered up and smiled: "Everything is hard at the beginning. Since you understand the crux of the matter, then just do your best. Follow the vassal... I and you still need to stay here for some time. If you do not properly place those gentry, I... can't sleep or eat."
Emperor Hongzhi's journey did not move to the palace in Nanjing, but instead settled directly at the Duke of Wei's mansion.
The Duke of Wei was also cautious in offering sacrifices.
Fortunately... Your Majesty is surprisingly easy to feed. He doesn't like to eat delicacies. He first ate crabs. After eating it almost, he fell in love with fresh yellow croaker and even became interested in oysters.
And I have no interest in luxury practices and pomp, but I love the taste of Jiangsu and Zhejiang people. I add ginger and garlic and steam it.
With the British Duke Zhang Mao in charge, the six ministries in Nanjing were trembling. Liu Yi, the Minister of Revenue, was scolded fiercely in front of the imperial court, and then received an order to be responsible for the migration of the gentry.
Of course, on the surface, Liu Yi was the leader, but in fact, there would be some oral instructions coming out every once in a while, how to migrate, how to arrange, how many soldiers, and how many ships to prepare. This matter is almost all prepared by His Majesty while walking. What Liu Yi could do was just obediently obey his orders.
Speaking of migration, Fang Jifan was an expert. At the beginning, he had advanced experience in moving the Fang family. In this regard, Fang Jifan said that his level was second, and no one in the world dared to say that he was the best.
Countless gentry, with their own houses, took off their luggage filled with cars under the escort of various guards and horses, and then boarded the ship.
The family members cried, and the elders hugged the spirit of their ancestors, and even shed tears on their clothes.
Only the innocent child pointed to the big ship on the pier and exclaimed: "Boat, boat... take a boat, take a boat..."
It is no surprise that at this time, there will be a slap like a palm fan and fall down, and the world will be pure.
Zhou Tang was as if he was withered. He had not slept for many days and did not dare to close his eyes. Once he closed his eyes, he seemed to see his ancestors and his sects found him with anger.
What a...unworthy descendants.
As for Luzon... God knows where it is.
The mountains are long and the waters are far away. I am afraid that I will never return to my hometown again.
Zhou Tangsheng's eyes were confused. After repeated urging by the soldiers, he boarded the ship with a trembling trembling.
The moment I boarded the boat, it seemed that life suddenly lost its meaning and became boring.
He looked at the pier with a hunch, and the people who were about to board the boat called each other to their children, or some people cried.
Zhou Tangsheng’s grief comes from his heart, Fang Jifan…what is that dog-like thing…
The ship... gradually rose sails.
Slowly...leaved from the land.
The hull swayed and suddenly... Zhou Tangsheng's heart seemed to have twitched... Then... he saw a familiar figure on the trestle... This man stood at the other end of the trestle and waved at the people on the trestle.
Zhou Tangsheng saw it clearly, and his heart skipped a beat. It was Fang Jifan. It was really said that Cao Cao was here, this dog... a weasel wishes the chicken a New Year.
But Fang Jifan, who said goodbye to the people on the boat, became more and more blurred, and then... in Zhou Tangsheng's eyes, even the land gradually became farther and farther away, and finally... it began to disappear.
At this moment...
Zhou Tangsheng suddenly wailed: "The child is unfilial, and he cannot keep his family business. The child is unfilial..."
