The next day, the tribute court.

Zhu Xu was walking on the bluestone path, holding today's newspaper in his hand.

Fang Kongshao, Shi Bangyao and other groups followed behind, all of whom were a little nervous.

With the Wu family, Wang family and other well-respected families in Nanzhili, they rushed to donate their property. Whether they were in their hearts or not, they were all crazy and rushed to donate money and grain. This scene made the governor Fang Kongshao a little scared.

The Wu family, Wang family and more than a dozen families donated tens of thousands of acres of land and hundreds of thousands of stones of grain, not to mention other shops, gold, silver, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and so on. They are so valuable!

Is this just the result of a martial arts show?

no!

The emperor in front of him was extremely fierce in his literary and military governance, his methods of governing the country, and his methods of governing the country, and few people could resist.

The first page of the newspaper in Zhu Xu is a huge black title: Party struggles to harm the country, Donglin learns from it.

The person who wrote about his profound foundation, quoted classics and explained the essence of "party struggle" to the fullest. Then he resigned from Gu Xiancheng, founded the Donglin Academy and occupied the court. He made a sharp satirical example of the Donglin Party, citing the various evil consequences of the Donglin Party's abusing power, exposing the Donglin Party's crimes such as the Donglin Party's crimes of harming the country and deceiving the emperor.

This article says a lot, that is, the most important thing is the signature. There are more than 70 people, first, Qian Qianyi, the former head of Donglin, the Minister of Rites, and the imperial envoy, then the governor's yamen, the heads of the prefects in various places, then the patriarchs of the aristocratic families, the great scholars with great reputation, and almost the influential group of people in Nanzhili, all of them are on this!

Zhu Xu was very satisfied. Only by unifying his thoughts can he make great strides. He put together the newspaper and then said: "I read all the memorials you wrote last night. They are not profound enough. They have insufficient understanding of the new policy, the recent situation, and the future development and governance are unclear. You must seriously reflect on what the past looks like, the root causes of these disadvantages, how to start, is it eradicated or improved? What are the means that can be used? How many old methods can be used, and have you ever thought about the new methods..."

Qian Qianyi, Fang Kongshao and others hurriedly followed a few steps, bowed, and their expressions were slightly condensed.

They have always known that the emperor is difficult to get along with, and they always mention some strange things that are difficult to accept but unacceptable. Now it is their turn.

Zhu Xu said that, then came to a pavilion. After sitting down, he glanced at the few people, put the folding fan in his hand on the table, knocked on the table with his left hand, and said, "Which was yesterday, I didn't say something because I wanted to leave it to you specifically, and I told you."

"I'm listening to the Hadith!" Qian Qianyi, Fang Kongshao and others quickly raised their hands and bowed, and their bodies were unconsciously tense.

Zhu Xu thought a little and said: "Whether the 'new policy', 'military and political', or other things, the fundamental purpose is to build a new order, a new royal order, a noble order, a new official order, a military order, and also a shopping mall order, a farm order, etc...."

Qian Qianyi and others lowered their heads and quietly did not dare to interrupt.

"First of all, it's officialdom,"

Zhu Xu looked at the people and said, "'Governing the country first, governing officials' is an old saying. Since ancient times, nearly a hundred years of founding the country have been considered as clear-cut and stable officials. With the development of time, they have become increasingly corrupt and uncontrollable, and the world has changed. Our dynasty has reached a time when the misfortune needs to be purged, which is also a consensus among the people of the world. I won't say much. However, after decades of going around, from Zhang Juzheng to the present, the administration has not only not improved at all, but has fallen deeper and deeper? Why?"

"The fundamental lies in 'determination'! This determination lies with me, and with all officials in the world. If all officials in the world can be determined to eradicate corruption and eliminate the rule of the government like me, I think it is not difficult!"

"In the court, the six ministers of the cabinet are all carefully selected by me. They are both in love and virtue, and are deeply averse to corruption and are determined to fight corruption. You are also selected by me. I hope you are determined to fight corruption like me, not like Huang Liji, with both snakes and rats, swaying..."

Qian Qianyi, Fang Kongshao, Shi Bangyao and others all changed their expressions, their temples were pounding gently and they didn't say anything.

The word "anti-corruption" is easy to say, but not easy to do, especially in places like Nanzhili, where the relationship network is complicated and has a background of more than two hundred years. No matter who fights corruption, it will eventually involve itself, because even if a person is clean, no one can ensure that he always abides by the law!

Too difficult! It's simply not feasible!

Zhu Xu didn't expect them to fight corruption. After a brief pause, he said, "I have never liked the imperial examination. It's not that it is not a good way to select scholars, but it is not very beneficial to education. It is far less than my academies. If the whole world is full of academies and can be educated and enrolled at age, then I will never lack talents in the Ming Dynasty! You can choose the best among the best. The most important thing is that scholars may not necessarily be officials. The country is so big, so why don't scholars need to be scholars? A dedicated imperial examination is not the purpose of studying and popularizing education. Regarding academies and imperial examinations, you must strictly implement the court's policies and must not be relaxed at all!"

"I obey the order!" Qian Qianyi and Fang Kongshao hurriedly stepped out, both of which were about to fall on them, and there were not many days for the imperial examination this year.

Zhu Xu clicked and turned his head to look out. He could see some taller buildings on the banks of the Qinhuai River. He pointed and said, "The brothel has a trance. As an official, it cannot be sealed off. Just like the Salt Administration, it cannot be forced to push. This is what I call "order". How to build a stable "order"? Let the two sides of the Qinhuai River not become a place of filth and filth, absurd and tragic place. How to make the salt administration smooth, take care of the interests of the salt merchants, and prevent them from strongly opposing it. There are all the homework of you officials, how to manage and deal with it. This is a difficult knowledge..."

These two are sensitive topics. The few people standing not far away looked dark and nervous, afraid that the emperor would point out problems, beat the board, and act like a gesture.

"The other is the agricultural affairs,"

Zhu Xu skipped this topic lightly and continued: "The people are digging their work in the fields. We rely on the people to support them. Everything cannot be transferred to them in the end. No matter how difficult it is, we will find ways to solve the problems for the people, so that they can increase their food and income. Only when their income is too much will the court have more taxes. This is the normal causal relationship, instead of forcing the people to pay the food every day, forcing them to go desperate. Can there be other ways to survive besides rebellion?"

Fang Kongshao frowned slightly. The emperor said that the emperor was right, but he was still awkward. He always felt something was wrong, or that it was in conflict with some of his established ideas.

It is not easy to let these officials really concentrate on doing things. Zhu Xu could not whip the whip in Nanzhili. After a while, he stood up and said, "After saying so much, you may not be able to remember it. But I still want to emphasize that no matter what 'order', the most important thing is that the person who implements it must be upright and treat everyone equally and cannot be treated differently. All aspects of the 'new policy' are to improve this order. Therefore, Nanzhili must have greater determination to promote the new policy. When facing problems, they must solve problems, and they cannot escape, and they cannot fool them..."

"Abide by the order." Qian Qianyi and others hurriedly raised their hands. The emperor was hitting directly, and they would not be able to do nothing in the future.

Zhu Xu glanced at a few more people and nodded slightly. Fang Kongshao and Shi Bangyao were all reformists, hoping that they could do something in Nanzhili.

He reached out and took out a document from his arms and handed it to Fang Kongshao and said, "This is my thoughts on Nanzhili. You can take a closer look at the business part, and think about it, and do it according to local conditions."

Fang Kongshao reached out to take it and said in a solemn voice: "Yes, I will definitely not disappoint the emperor!"

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "If you don't work hard, my whip won't be light."

"Let's say so much today," Zhu Xu pondered and said, "If you say too much, the effect will not be good. You will discuss the matter in Nanzhili, and I will watch it from behind. Well... I will continue to go south for two days, so you must do it yourself."

Everyone looked slightly panicked, and felt relieved. They quickly raised their hands and said, "I will obey the order."

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "You go, I'll walk around."

Qian Qianyi, Fang Kongshao and others were still uneasy. The emperor might have something to do if he walks around. But they had no choice but to raise their hands and say, "I will leave."

Zhu Xu got up, walked out of the south gate not far away, and came to the bank of the Qinhuai River. He felt a cool breeze blowing, and his mood improved a lot.

Even during the day, the Qinhuai River is full of travels and bustling.

Zhu Xu glanced at him and couldn't help but say, "I have to live in Nanzhili..."

Cao Huachun followed Zhu Xu, listening to his words, his expression remained unmoved, but nodded in his heart. Indeed, more than half of the Ming Dynasty's finances came from Nanzhili, and the entire Ming Dynasty was maintained here.

As he walked slowly, Zhu Xu was still thinking about the matter of Nanzhili.

Yesterday's development exceeded his expectations. The situation in Nanzhili was better than he expected, but there were more problems and it took time to digest it.

Zhu Xu thought for a while, and suddenly he had a smile on his face. He had already controlled the overall situation and there was always a way to solve it. He would do it step by step.

He raised his head and said with his hands behind his back, "How is the situation in other provinces?"

Cao Huachun took a step forward and said, "From the news from the southwest, the six provinces have been promoting it well. The resistance encountered is relatively low, but the effect is not visible for a while. Shanxi, Jiangxi, Hebei, and South are in some difficulties, and the dispute is relatively loud and almost stagnant. However, Fujian is said to be good, and the basic structure has been completed."

"oh……"

Zhu Xu was quite surprised and immediately said, "Is Fujian Governor Zou Weilian? I want to take a good look. I will pass the imperial edict to the cabinet and order Sun Chengzong to go out of the capital in person to urge all localities to promote the "new policy". If necessary, local officials can be dismissed first and then reported."

"After the order." Cao Huachun responded.

Zhu Xu walked for a while and said in his heart: "How is that Gong Dingzi?"

Cao Huachun said: "There is no movement, I feel that my ability is average."

Zhu Xu laughed and said, "It's normal for an ordinary scholar. Let him go to the Criminal Prison Division and the Suppression Prison Division in Nanzhili... He also has it."

Cao Huachun's expression moved slightly, and he immediately said, "Abide by the order."

"Yeah..."

Zhu Xu was about to walk forward when a low cry suddenly came from the front.
Chapter completed!
