Chapter 702: Meeting in the Warm Pavilion
After hearing what Zhu Gaochi said, he really didn't know whether to cry or laugh. In fact, he was also very confused, and he didn't know whether he was a foe or planning for himself.
The word "power and strategy" is a double-edged sword. If you cannot hurt others, you will only hurt yourself. Is it a good idea to make Hao Fenglou cheaper or to make yourself profit in the end?
In front of his father, Zhu Gaochi naturally did not dare to show any displeasure, so he said happily: "The father is wise."
Zhu Di nodded: "You go down, I want to be quiet."
Zhu Gaochi quickly stood up, feeling a little regretful. During these times, he had never had the opportunity to be alone with his father. But he didn't expect that he had just said a word and a half and it was time to leave. He was a little reluctant, but he still saluted: "Son of your son will leave."
Zhu Gaochi came out of the warm pavilion and felt a little regretful. His father had been a little generous to himself these days, but he was still a little cold, which made his heart still hang. It was cold and the warm pavilion was as warm as spring. When he stepped out, it was a bit cold wind. Zhu Gaochi couldn't help but shrink his body and raised his legs to leave when he saw a man walking towards the warm pavilion.
Zhu Gaochi recognized it as Hao Fenglou, and an eunuch also met him, but he heard the eunuch say to Hao Fenglou: "Mr. Marquis, Your Majesty is waiting for you for a long time..."
Zhu Gaochi's heart skipped a beat. Just now, what his father told him was that he needed to be alone and to be quiet, but he waited for Hao Fenglou for a long time. This means... Hao Fenglou did not ask for an audience, but was summoned by his father. What his father said to him was just an excuse.
My father is so distant to me and his words are dull. Instead...
Zhu Gaochi's face was pulled down. He ignored Hao Fenglou. However, when he passed by Hao Fenglou, Hao Fenglou turned sideways, bowed to Zhu Gaochi, and said, "I have seen Your Highness."
Zhu Gaochi held his hands behind his back, and a disgust could not be concealed at this moment. However, he said reluctantly: "Oh, it's the coastal defense. I haven't seen you for a long time. Your complexion is better than before. Could it be that there is any happy event? People feel refreshed when they are happy, should I celebrate the first or second?"
Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "Where is there any happy event? Your Highness is joking."
Zhu Gaochi glanced at Hao Fenglou, then closed his eyes and said lightly: "I have something to do in this palace, so let's take a step first and we will talk about it later."
He was in the mood to pay attention to Hao Fenglou and dragged his somewhat broken legs and big belly and walked away.
But at this time, Hao Fenglou called him and said, "Your Highness..."
Zhu Gaochi had no choice but to stop, and looked back at Hao Fenglou with a little anger: "I don't know the sea defense. What else can I do to teach you?"
Hao Fenglou said modestly: "I dare not take it when I see you, Your Highness laughs. There is one thing. In a few days, the dog will be one year old, so a small banquet is set up. I wonder if Your Highness is willing to enjoy it?"
Zhu Gaochi pondered for a moment and said, "I am afraid that I will be troubled by something important to me and I will not be able to pull myself away. Then I will be given a gift."
"Then...thank you." Hao Fenglou smiled. He knew that Zhu Gaochi would not come because the banquet would be the only one who would be the one who would be the one who would be the one who would hate the most. If he was willing to come, it would be strange.
But it would be better for him to be willing to take the gift. The prince should of course not be stingy. This gift is definitely not light.
After watching Zhu Gaochi leave, Hao Fenglou smiled at the eunuch who was leading the way, saying, "Are you free in Eunuch Wang?"
The father-in-law looked puzzled: "I'm afraid I'm going to be on duty, but it's a matter of trouble."
"Oh." Hao Fenglou said with a regretful look on his face, "That's a pity."
The father-in-law said with a smile: "I will also follow the gifts."
"No need for this." Hao Fenglou said seriously: "You are a servant in the palace. It is not easy to save some money for yourself. If I accept this gift, I will be really uneasy. Everyone is your own person, so there is no need for this. I will be here."
After selling the eunuch for no reason, Hao Fenglou had already arrived outside the warm-up pavilion and stepped in.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Zhu Di had heard the movement outside and asked with a smile that Hao Fenglou, who walked into the warm pavilion, and said, "Why, what's the point of getting what you want."
Hao Fenglou had to report truthfully.
Zhu Di couldn't help but sigh: "I have forgotten this matter after working hard for a year."
Zhu Di sat down and immediately said, "Okay, sit down, let's put this matter aside for now. Today I'm going to ask about the resentment of the people in the south, but the words of the prince were thought-provoking. It seems that the relocation of the people will continue. Just in time, the court took this opportunity to investigate the refugees and fugitives. Alas... I don't know if I don't check it. It's shocking. When Taizu was here, I had seen someone with such courage. But now, just a few years ago, I don't know that there are so many people who are not in the Yellow Book. This precedent can be shirked to Jianwen, maybe he made a mistake. But I am the emperor now. After all, the responsibility lies with me. Maybe I am too generous. I call you here, and I plan to use the Jinyiwei to investigate it..."
After hearing this, Hao Fenglou sat upright and shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter cannot be investigated."
"Huh?" Zhu Di said with confusion, "Why is this?"
Hao Fenglou said seriously: "There was no trouble during the Hongwu period. It was not because the court was strict about this matter. It was just because Emperor Hongwu destroyed the world. The people experienced many wars and the population was greatly reduced. Therefore, there were wasteland everywhere in the world. The people who were registered at that time were only two million households. Therefore, the people were compiled into the yellow book and reclaimed variously, so there would naturally be no trouble. However, in the past few decades, the family of two and three generations has become a family of ten, and the population has doubled by more than twice. From the past, a family of two or three families was barely surplus, but now in this generation, it is a few brothers who are more than a dozen people who are counting on living a thirty acres of land.
How can such a life be maintained? Because of this, many people have to borrow money to live, and finally have to take out the land to sell. Without land, they have to rent other paddy fields, but once they are not harvested, they cannot live. Your Majesty, people have to eat, and they are hungry. Can they sit and wait for death? Therefore, there are refugees and fleeing households. If the court investigates, what can they do if they check? Therefore, the minister thinks that only the place is given, regardless of whether he is in the process of making up, and they turn a blind eye and give them a bite of food. Naturally, everyone will abide by the law. If they investigate rashly, they will inevitably make people feel suspicious and afraid of causing trouble."
Zhu Di closed his eyes and seemed to hesitate, saying, "Then according to what you said, all these people rushed to Siam?"
Hao Fenglou smiled and said, "I dare not say this. In fact, there is no need to rush to do so. I ordered people to investigate everywhere, but I knew that although the imperial court banned the sea, there were countless people who went out to sea. Your Majesty, people moved to live, trees moved to die. There were problems during the Hongwu period, and there were problems today, so we must not generalize them."
Zhu Di couldn't help but smile: "I didn't expect that you, the commander of the Jinyiwei, could even speak out insignificantly. I actually underestimated you."
Hao Fenglou smiled embarrassedly and said, "I don't understand the great truths. When it comes to studying, I am not even worthy of carrying my shoes compared to the scholars and monks in the temple. However, I am knowing the world and the people's feelings."
Zhu Dihe nodded and said, "This is the truth, so in your opinion, the matter of refugees and fleeing households can be solved by one Dingnan?"
Hao Fenglou thought for a while and said, "Of course this is not a root cause, but a root cause. One day, the land in Dingnan will be fully cultivated, and it will be overcrowded at that time. It will only temporarily alleviate the temporary need. However, this is what happened in this world. Who could have predicted how wise Emperor Taizu was? But how could he have expected that during the Hongwu period, the court was still encouraging childbirth, and only felt that this wasteland could not be reclaimed and could not turn the large area of Sanghai into a large area.
Cheng Cangtian, how could he have thought that in the past few generations, the world was already overcrowded and the people were already overcrowded. Weichen was just a Mongolian doctor, who only knew how to treat headaches and pains. In this world, there would be no magic medicine, which could cure difficult and complicated diseases in the world, nor would there be any strategy or national policy, and it would be able to eliminate all the problems of the world forever. The saint king of the future generations should worry about the affairs of the future. Weichen, who has not learned anything else in the past few years, has known a truth."
Zhu Di became interested and said, "But I don't know what the reason is."
Hao Fenglou smiled: "In this world, anyone who can cure all diseases is mostly a liar; if anyone who says anything can last forever, it is probably just a joke. When Qin Emperor was here, he set a precedent in the world, established counties, and wrote the same books and carts. He thought that such a national government would definitely last forever. What in the end? It can be seen that nothing can be guaranteed in this world. This rule of the country and governance is nothing more than the means of masons. If it is missed, it will be repaired. There is no other way."
After hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but be angry, and couldn't help but pat the desk and scolded: "You Hao Da's courage, how dare you slander Taizu?"
Hao Fenglou Ben said it so hard, but Zhu Di was furious and confused, and couldn't help but say, "I'm dead..."
