Well, whether he is a real hero or a fake hero, it is obvious that the lackey of Li Yutang, the official minister, cannot be the same as him, so Wang Busheng had to put away his wishful thinking. Marrying three daughters-in-law is indeed a long and arduous task for those without background, and it is difficult to realize the dream without a golden finger.
"I heard that military generals who lose a city will be beheaded. Before the enemy comes, as the lord of a city, he abandoned the city and fled. Could it be that this general was not blamed by the court?"
You must know that although the treatment of warriors is not very good, Zhu Xiluo has very strict requirements for warriors and is very attentive to management. He is afraid that there will be people with ulterior motives among the generals and the generals will make mistakes. Moreover, it is a serious crime to abandon the city and flee. It is unreasonable that Xiong Yingxiong can still serve as the garrison of Songjiang Mansion.
Just listen to Wu Zuo continue to explain, "This is natural, but it was the former prefect Xie Xiangrong who drafted the memorial, and Xie Xiangrong was Li Yutang's domestic slave, and the master's guest, Xie Xiangrong also had to be protected. In Xie Xiangrong's memorial, Xiong Yingxiong did not abandon Instead of fleeing from the city, they moved strategically to hide their strength, hoping to make a sudden attack when the Japanese pirates attacked the city and wipe out the Japanese pirates in one fell swoop."
"Sure enough, a literati's pen can determine good and evil, right and wrong, and it can also determine a person's life or death." Wang Budie couldn't help but sigh, "It's better to study."
"Although they are all warriors, what does the garrison of Songjiang Prefecture have to do with our Jinyi Guards? His life or death is not something we Jinyiwei can decide. Just do your own thing." After taking a sip of tea and looking at the lively crowd, Wu Being lost in thought.
Patting Wang Busheng who looked unhappy, Old Duan comforted him and said, "Brother, you are a person who can do great things. Unlike me, I am a single person. One person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry, and I don't have any hard work or enterprising spirit. You are different from us. The first time I saw you, my brother felt that you had light in your eyes and that you were a man with pursuits and ambitions. However, you should not be too hasty in everything, and work slowly. If you are poor, you can be alone, and if you are rich, you can help the world. In your When you are below tens of millions of people, your words are just farts. On the contrary, when you are above tens of millions of people, your farts will be regarded as wise words of wisdom and implemented without compromise."
Status determines how well your words are carried out. I am just a small member of the royal family. I just want to earn money safely and marry three wives. What else does it have to do with me? My shoulders are too narrow and I can't handle too many things. I don't think so. , and then he became happy, and the smile returned to Wang Busheng's face, "I understand, do everything according to your ability."
They were most afraid of young people being impulsive and prone to violence. Seeing Wang Busheng so calm, Lao Duan and the others felt at ease.
Everyone has been young. Once upon a time, everyone was equally high-spirited and always imagined a wonderful future. Hard work can make you rich, and you will reap rewards if you work hard. However, after being slapped in the face by reality again and again, you can’t see the hopeful future. Countless People will choose to lie down.
As an old person, I no longer complain that everything goes against my wishes. Maybe it’s my lack of ability or lack of judgment, that’s all. The road ahead is long, you should be self-restrained, be careful about your independence, hide your edges and corners, retreat from your superiority, calm down your heart, know your progress and retreats, understand your gains and losses, accept your lingering hatred, avoid being spoiled and angry, and reform yourself, keep your temper, sober, and pay tribute to the gods with a high incense stick. It's hard to calm down in my heart, so I raise the incense above my head again, hoping that I won't be stained with the sorrows of the world.
"Brothers, stop looking at us. We are the Jin Yiwei. The unpopular Jin Yiwei, eat, eat, eat. If you don't eat, you will get nothing." Wu Zuo was very open-minded. The martial arts arena is so big, but the positioning is very clear. The civil servant's nest is a big one, Xiong Yingxiong's is a small nest, and my own nest is, well, this nest is not small either, with four people.
After hanging around, the more he went back, the more he went back. He had been working in the position of Jinyiwei Qianhu for a long time. Wu Zuo wanted to do it well and take it further, but after a few years, he gave up that idea and was satisfied with it. A yamen with more than 1,000 people now has less than ten people, and many people live on loans. For a yamen that is rarely remembered, how many people have seen how much work you have done.
You don’t need to tell me what is behind the mountain. I have to see it with my own eyes. How can I give up the pursuit completely and willingly?
"Colleagues," Lin Shouju pressed his hands to stop everyone's murmurings. When everyone calmed down, Lin Shouju continued, "The "Songjiang Prefecture County Chronicle" during the Hongzhi period of the Ming Dynasty stated: "Songjiang Prefecture was formerly known as Huating. In the Song Dynasty, Fan Shang The continuation is based on the name of the town, where the ship lifting department and the cargo yard are located. In the 29th year of Yuan Dynasty, due to the prosperity of the people, five townships in the northeast of Huating were cut off, and a county was established in the town, under the jurisdiction of Songjiang Prefecture. The territory was 160 miles from east to west, 152 miles from north to south, and one mile from the sea to the east. Hundreds of miles, the sea is boundless; it reaches the boundary of Changzhou County, Suzhou Prefecture in the west for 60 miles, Wujiang County 120 miles away, Jinshanwei in the south for 72 miles, and the sea boundless in the north to the north bank of Wusong River in Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture for 80 miles. 130 miles to Kunshan County; 100 miles to Qingcun Qianhusuo in the southeast; 120 miles to Jiaxing Prefecture in the southwest; 130 miles to Jiading County, Suzhou Prefecture in the northeast; and 130 miles to Suzhou Prefecture in the northwest. One hundred and eighty miles, from the government to the capital, 3,820 miles, and to Nanjing, 800 miles. It is located at the north-south transportation hub with developed transportation. Songjiang Prefecture is rich in products and has many merchants. It is also adjacent to the sea to the east and is rich in marine resources. The large amount of fish and shrimp in the sea solves the food and clothing problem of the people of Songjiang Prefecture and makes it easier in disaster years. The people of Songjiang Prefecture have hope of survival. Songjiang Prefecture can be said to be a shining pearl on the southeast coast. However, in recent years, the government has been corrupted and the people's happiness has declined. I have to say that everyone here has a heavy responsibility."
Hearing the reproach in Lin Shoju's tone, everyone was a little uneasy. Could this be the first ignition of the new magistrate? Everyone was busy getting promoted and making a fortune, so how could they have time to waste a drop of sweat for the people and the court.
Of course, although he has read a lot, Lin Shouju is not a fool. It is impossible for him to attack the officials under him on the first day he takes office. The new official will not burn out his colleagues even if he takes office. Then Lin Shouju said something. Turning around, the sadness on his face disappeared, "Of course, three feet of ice is not a day's cold. Songjiang Mansion was repeatedly harassed by Japanese pirates, burning, killing and looting. People were slaughtered and their wealth was robbed. Songjiang Mansion was the main battlefield during the war. , all the land was destroyed, and the cultivated land will not be restored for a while. Everyone wants to do things for the court and the people, but conditions do not allow it."
"What your Excellency said is absolutely true. Every time I see the people of Songjiang Prefecture with no clothes on their bodies and no food to eat, I feel very sad and wish I could only use my body to cook for them," an official said with tears. It seems that he is a good official who loves the people.
"Your Excellency loves the people wholeheartedly. I can feel it. A clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. How many people can feed you with your flesh?" Lin Shouju waved his hand to signal that the official who loves the people like a son should not be sad. "I will wait for you." They are all taken from the people. We cannot enjoy the offerings of the people but do nothing and do nothing. I have received the great love from the Holy One and serve as the acting magistrate of Songjiang Prefecture. I will dedicate myself to the end of my life. I am worthy of my love for the imperial court. To live up to the high expectations of the people of Songjiang Prefecture, today my colleagues and I should work together to make our due contribution to Songjiang Prefecture. Even if it is just to add one more grain of rice to the people of Songjiang Prefecture, it is our merit."
"I will definitely follow in your footsteps and shed my last drop of sweat for the sake of the imperial court, Songjiang Prefecture, and the millions of people in Songjiang Prefecture." Everyone promised in unison, with the momentum of sacrificing their lives for righteousness.
Seeing the current situation, Lin Shouju was very satisfied, "There will be no stability without farmers, and no wealth without business. Agriculture is the foundation. We must focus on the land. After the new year, all the people in the yamen, except for a few people left behind, will We must go out to open up wasteland and increase the land that can be cultivated.”
Feudal society basically relied on the weather. In a good year, it would be better and there would be a good harvest. With the surplus food after paying the rent, the whole family could barely survive for a year. However, in a disaster year . Then the risk of starvation is very high. If you want to survive, you must have food. In this era of low productivity, if you want to have food, you must have enough land. At this time, there is no plan to return farmland to forest. Ensuring enough farmland is a top priority and it is also important for the people to survive. Assure.
Hearing that Lin Shouju had issued such a ridiculous order just after taking office, many officials were scornful and sneered in their hearts. What was the purpose of studying? It was to be an official, and it was to leave the life of foraging in the fields and work in the fields to open up wasteland. . Why should I be an official? Who would abandon this sense of superiority that an official can have enough food and clothing and keep warm without farming? Farming is impossible, even if you kill him.
However, some people felt that it was necessary after hearing Lin Shouju's order, such as Wang Busheng. In this feudal society without mechanization and without the achievements of agricultural colleges, increasing land is a very far-sighted act, and it can be regarded as solving the superficial problem of people not having enough to eat. , with land, there will be more food, and the people will have enough to eat. Of course, no one can solve the problem of land annexation for a while.
Seeing the reaction of the people in the audience, Lin Shouju understood clearly that it was easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it was difficult to go from luxury to frugality. With the rusty sickle and hoe at home, and the pot-bellied figure, Lin Shouju could imagine the successor officials of the Ming Empire. He was sweating profusely and panting like a dog with his tongue stretched out, but Lin Shouju still insisted on what he thought in his heart. Although some things are difficult, they always need people to do them. If you don't do it, I won't, who will do it.
Lin Shouju is an ambitious scholar. He wants to make great achievements, he wants to be remembered in history, and he wants to do infinite things in his limited life. "It is better to do it once if you think about it a thousand times. If you hesitate ten thousand times, you will do it once." It is better to practice it once. In this way, I will take the lead. After the new year, I will buy a set of hoes and shovels, sit in the yamen every morning, and go to open up wasteland with the people in the afternoon."
"Sir, I can't help it. You are a fourth-grade magistrate. How can you go to work in the fields with those mud-legged people?" an official who had the idea of being superior to others advised.
Lin Shouju chuckled, "A fourth-grade official doesn't need to eat, and he has hands and feet with clay legs. What's the difference? As an official, you have to put down your arrogance, lean down, ask the people for their plans and wisdom, and think about the people wholeheartedly. These are the officials the Ming Empire needs,"
"Pa bang bang" was a burst of enthusiastic applause. Although it was very formalistic, it was the only way Wang Bu Die could express his respect.
It has been quite a while since he came to the Ming Empire. Whether he was a high-ranking official or a minor official, Wang Busheng had come into contact with many officials, including Li Baoguo, the leader of Wuhu Village, Sun Youcai, the magistrate of Tiancishan Town, Li Zuozuo, the criminal director of Songjiang Prefecture, and Xie Xiangrong, the prefect of Songjiang Prefecture. , including Liu Wenzheng, Zhang Songhe and others who were at the peak of power who came into contact with in the capital, all of them were people who were doing nothing. They were officials rather than serving the people, just to enrich their pockets and make the female companions around them more beautiful. In their hearts There were never any common people.
And now, the person Wang Bushit is looking up to is the Ming Empire's version of Geng Gong. Maybe Lin Shoju's "Ode to Encouraging Farmers" is of no use to the people's production, but he has a heart to care about the people. After serving as an official, he also Thinking of benefiting one party and not covering up his faults, Lin Shoju deserves this applause. These are the people who share the same path with me.
