One thousand six hundred and seventeen chapters: is to be ruthless
This is not a simple matter. During the migration process, some chaos will inevitably occur.
This is also why Fang Jifan came to see Zhou Tangsheng off.
For those who refuse to migrate, there will always be solutions. The appearance of Duke of Qi is enough to make people scared.
After all, that was a tough character who even his family sent to the Golden Island. The migration of Fang was not uncommon, and Jiangnan had caused a lot of controversy...
But so what? The Duke of Qi ordered local officials to pack up all the people and send them away.
Why did the Ren Fang family struggle? Now, is there anyone with the surname Fang in the world?
Now the Duke of Qi is in charge, and the prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River are shocked.
It's even more ruthless.
Fang Jifan sent all the yellow book to various prefectures and prefectures according to the origin of the gentry, and asked local officials to ask for relocation according to the list. If they did not move within the deadline, one person would use the prefect and the county magistrate to make up the number. If there were two, and so on, they would use the Tongzhi and the county magistrate to make up the number.
Fang Jifan only had a quota, but there were not enough quotas, so officials came to gather. In this way, the local area was full of resentment and complaints.
The local official received the order, and except for gritting his teeth and cursing behind his back, he also put on a face that was not favorable. Although they usually drink and talk to the gentry and call them brothers, they became selfless in this respect.
If there are occasional quarrels, they will go to get people. If it is not enough, they will notify the local garrison.
The gentry was reluctant to leave, but they left, embarked on the road of blood and tears, but the land remained.
Fang Jifan reorganized the land one by one.
Xishan Money House has drawn a large number of personnel to be responsible for counting the land and all the land needs to be measured again.
Many times, a bad person alone cannot do anything. Such a big thing requires relying on a system that is trustworthy and a way to do things. This method must be combined with reality and make people motivated. You also need to know the consequences of the failure to do things.
When Fang Jifan returned to Nanjing City and came to the journey, he saw that the Six Ministry of Revenue Departments in Nanjing had already been here, and the Minister of Revenue Liu Yi still had tears in his eyes.
Fang Jifan ignored him and saluted Emperor Hongzhi: "My son has seen Your Majesty."
Emperor Hongzhi took a sip of tea slowly and nodded to Fang Jifan: "You are here just right, just talking about you."
Fang Jifan smiled and said, "I wonder what he said about his son-in-law?"
Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Liu Yi, but Liu Yi seemed a little embarrassed.
Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly before saying, "I heard that there was a gentry in Nanjing who committed suicide by hanging his beam. Liu Qing's family cried bitterly in front of me, saying that it was a harsh government that was more powerful than a tiger, so that... some people put their lives aside."
He committed suicide...
Fang Jifan was surprised and stared at them with big eyes and said innocently: "My son always has been doing their good for their good. They have waived their interest and exchanged their poor land for their poor land. Even if they move, His Majesty also made up the expenses along the way. The cost of carriages, horses, ships, and food and drinks along the way is a piece of copper. There are a lot of things in their house, and Mr. Chen even asked them to go to their house to help them move. They didn't want to repay them, but they actually robbed them of death. Why is this?"
Liu Yi's face turned blue and red. He opened his mouth several times to speak, but it seemed that the other party Jifan was afraid and held his breath, constantly thinking in his heart, let it go, and endure the peace for a while...
But Fang Jifan said again: "Your Majesty, but what Mr. Liu said is not unreasonable. After all, the gentry left their hometowns. They didn't understand Luzon, so they had a misunderstanding, which was understandable. As for Mr. Liu crying for it, it can be seen that Mr. Liu is a kind person. How many people in this court are concerned about gentry like Mr. Liu? Most of them have ulterior motives and have ulterior motives. My son admires Mr. Liu very much because Mr. Liu has always liked to be friends with kind people."
Fang Jifan said, grinning at Liu Yi, his expression with kindness.
Liu Yi was worried that Fang Jifan would take revenge at first. At this time, after hearing Fang Jifan's words, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help but think again. It seemed that I still had a little official voice. After all, I was the Minister of Revenue, and Fang Jifan, a dog-like person, was also afraid of me.
Therefore... he just smiled faintly, but he still kept silent. The olive branch handed over by the other party Jifan was not accepted.
He is also a well-known person. How could he get along with Fang Jifan because of a few soft words?
Emperor Hongzhi seemed surprised that the gentry committed suicide by hanging his beam, which no one wanted to see.
But... this is a national policy, how could it be easily changed because of this? Now that Liu Yi is using this to make a fuss, Fang Jifan praises it and sets a precedent. I am afraid that by then, there will be more oppositions in the court and the country, inside and outside the country.
This is a big taboo!
At this time, Fang Jifan sighed again, "Mr. Liu must have said that when the gentry arrived in Luzon, they would die for a lifetime. So...they were afraid and trembling, and they were worried, and they were worried, and they were worried, and they were worried. In fact, they were always worried about this problem. After all, it was a place where the land was fertile, but if something really happened, wouldn't it be... contrary to Your Majesty's original intention of loving the people? After all, the gentry is also my Ming Dynasty. They regard Your Majesty as their father. Speaking of which, they are still the elder brother-in-law of My Minister? Can You Don't care about them?"
"Today, Mr. Liu cried for them, which made his son suddenly enlightened. Your Majesty... was very happy, this was very happy."
Emperor Hongzhi was stunned and said in confusion: "Where does the joy come from?"
Fang Jifan said, "Your Majesty... What I am concerned about is the new support of Luzon. The gentry arrived in Luzon. It can be said that everything started from scratch. How many blood and tears and hardships are needed. Although in the future, their struggles today can bring about the descendants. But even though they are thousands of miles away, they still care about them in their hearts. But now, these problems can be solved easily. If Your Majesty appointed a Luzon governor to be responsible for the resettlement of the gentry and solve their worries and problems, this... not only is the court safe, but the gentry also feels relieved. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"
Fang Jifan showed a sincere smile and said, "Now, this person is far away in the sky and close to him. Liu Gongrenhou is the most suitable candidate."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Yi.
Liu Yi... was confused.
Go to Luzon to be a governor? Yes...
I am the Minister of Revenue. Even if I am the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing, I am also the Minister of Revenue.
Fang Jifan, you, are so shameless, want me to go to Luzon and become a governor?
He felt his heart hurt so much, as if he had suffered a great humiliation, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... The old minister is old..."
"It's okay. You can send more servants and maids to take good care of them along the way." Fang Jifan said immediately.
Liu Yi took a deep breath: "The old minister just gave birth to a grandson..."
Fang Jifan said happily: "This is amazing. Originally, local officials should not bring their families with them. However, there are exceptions. Wouldn't it be nice to take Liu Gong's family with you? In this way, Liu Gong can work with you with peace of mind when he gets there. Secondly, Liu Gong sets an example, and other gentry's family will be relocated, so he is full of energy. Your Majesty... Liu Gong is well-read in poetry and books, and is the most wisest. The so-called eating the king's fortune and sharing the worries for the king. Of course, he would not refuse such a person as Liu Gong. I beg Your Majesty to beg him to be kind."
"Puff..." Liu Yi felt his throat sweet, and then he suddenly spit out an old blood from his mouth. He was so angry that he was heartbroken.
The mouth of bright red blood was spurted out, and Liu Yi suddenly shook his body and his eyes lit up: "Your Majesty, look, the old minister vomits blood, and the old minister vomits blood."
His voice was excited.
Does Liu Yi understand what happened these days? Emperor Hongzhi and Fang Jifan can do everything.
He was just speaking up for justice, but he didn't know that Fang Jifan immediately began to take revenge, and this dog...he was so conscientious about it.
Thinking of his desire to go to Luzon and bring his family with him, Liu Yi felt like he was going crazy. He wished he would die now, at least not have to drag down his family.
But this mouthful of old blood seemed to prove something. Although he tried his best to make pain, he could not help but feel relieved in his voice. This was timely blood.
Emperor Hongzhi's gentle face suddenly appeared on his melancholy again.
Fang Jifan sneered in his heart, and then said happily: "Sometimes, it is normal to vomit blood if you get angry, and I often vomit blood."
Liu Yigang was about to refute.
Fang Jifan immediately said: "However, this matter needs to be cautious. After all, Mr. Liu's health is important. In my opinion, I would like to ask the doctors of Xishan Medical College to come and see it in person. Mr. Liu is worried that he must be the best doctor. If Mr. Liu's health is a little hindered, he will never let Mr. Liu go to Luzon."
Liu Yi: "…”
Emperor Hongzhi's face calmed down and said, "Yes, it should be so. Jifan said, very reasonable. Luzon's new support should not be underestimated. Only those I can trust can I feel more at ease. Let the doctor in Nanjing from the Medical College come to see Liu Qing's house tomorrow. If there is no problem, set off earlier, so as not to worry."
Liu Yixin felt even more painful, and felt dizzy and almost fainted, but he seemed to think that even if he fainted, Fang Jifan, a dog-like person, would definitely say that he fainted with joy.
He felt that his body was soft and he lost his strength. He fell to the ground with a thump, wanting to say something...
But he saw Fang Jifan looking at him with a smile and said, "Don't Liu Gong still can't bear to let go of his ancestors? Otherwise..."
"No, no..." Liu Yi was energetic in a conditioned manner and hurriedly said: "It's really nonsense. How can the remains of his ancestors be moved lightly?"
