Is this how Mingjun behaves?
Do you lie when you need people's support, and then forget about it after you've used it?
Are you, a wise man, too irresponsible? Will the common people rise up when they find out that they have been deceived? What will happen then? Send troops to suppress it?
Zhu Hexing was a little stupid after listening to Zhu Cihong's "Secret Book of Mingjun"... He originally thought that Mingjun were all saints, but he didn't expect that Mingjun was all a liar!
Moreover, he felt that he was an honest gentleman, and a gentleman would not lie. What would he do if he became the emperor in the future?
Prince Zhu suddenly thought of something again, turned to look at Ding Yuying, and said to himself: You don't look like a good girl, are you very cunning? Did your father see your cunning and let you become the crown princess?
Ding Yuying was a little embarrassed by Zhu Hexing, but she still tried hard to hide the panic in her heart, pretended to be dignified, and said to Zhu Cixiang: "Father, this is a great benevolence and righteousness, and it is for the long-term benefit of the people of Sichuan." Well-being, let's lie for a while... If you don't lie, don't say anything else, but this battle in Sichuan will be protracted, and I don't know how many Sichuan people will die as a result. Although Your Majesty deceived the Sichuan people for a while, but He has saved the lives of countless Sichuan people, and he is truly a benevolent gentleman who is rare in the past and present!"
Zhu Cixiang nodded in agreement, thinking: This is a good daughter-in-law! I really didn’t choose the wrong person... Well, I’ll give you a chance to avoid a glorious burial!
"Yuying is right!" Zhu Cixiang glanced at his son and said, "Being a king requires great benevolence and righteousness, not small benevolence and righteousness, let alone pursuing benevolence and righteousness that cannot be achieved. Confucius said that there is no poverty. He Wuwu, An Wuqing, etc., are simply impossible for the current Ming Dynasty! Don’t force things you can’t do! Do you understand?”
"I know!" Zhu Hexing also nodded repeatedly, thinking: You are such a wise man that you can't do everything without poverty, harmony without widows, and peace and stability, so I won't mess around in the future...
Zhu Cixiang nodded: "It seems that you and Yuying have learned something at Shizhu... Now that Yuying's belly is getting bigger and bigger and her mobility is inconvenient, she doesn't need to be a fellow acquaintance of Shizhu. She can stay in Fengdu. Become the county magistrate!”
Zhu Hexing hurriedly stood up and saluted: "My son, I must work hard and not let my father down!"
Zhu Cixiang glanced at Ding Yuying again, "Yuying, what about you?"
What? Zhu Hexing was stunned, why is there anything about Yuying? Who is the magistrate of Fengdu? Should I take it or should Yuying take it?
Ding Yuying said: "My daughter-in-law must help the prince well and not let her father down!"
"Okay!" Zhu Cixiang smiled and nodded, "You two have a good job... Yuying, you don't have to leave Fengdu City to wander around. You can help the prince with the official documents and account books, and then you can preside over the six counties with him. Just a meeting.”
"My daughter-in-law knows." Ding Yuying also stood up and made a blessing ceremony.
Zhu Cixiang smiled and said: "That's it for today... You two have a good night's rest first. Starting tomorrow, you will be the magistrate of Fengdu. You should know how to be a magistrate. I will say one more thing, you must remember it. You must lie to me well!"
You let us cheat...Zhu He Xingxin said: As a father, can't you teach us two good things?
...
When Zhu Hexing and Ding Yuying began to deceive the people of Fengdu, Emperor Zhu began to deceive the people of Sichuan!
This is a blessing for Sichuan people!
"The king is a boat; the common people are water; water carries the boat, and water capsizes the boat! In the past, rogue bandits came into Sichuan and deceived people's hearts by equalizing the fields, so that the common people in Sichuan became the water for the boats carrying the rogue bandits! It's just the land in Sichuan However, the number of government soldiers of the rogue bandits is increasing day by day, reaching more than 600,000. Even if the entire Sichuan area is measured, it is difficult to satisfy the desire of the government soldiers. All common people in Sichuan are customers. Therefore, the people of Sichuan must follow the rogue bandits. The boat-carrying water of the Ming Dynasty has become the boat-carrying water of the Ming Dynasty! I will also take this opportunity to implement more benevolent policies, so that the people of Sichuan can carry the boats of the Ming Dynasty and overturn the boats of the bandits..."
Feng Duxing was in the lobby, and the one who was preaching the principle of "causing a boat to overturn a boat" was of course Zhu Cihong, who was transformed into a benevolent king.
Along the way from Yong'an to Fengdu, Emperor Zhu received a warm welcome from the people of Sichuan! That's really a way to welcome Master Wang!
I guess this was the treatment Li Guo received when he entered Sichuan.
Shi Kefa, the Minister of Rites, was the second-in-command of the Cabinet Office. Hearing Emperor Zhu's words, he immediately stood up and responded: "I wonder what kind of benevolent government your Majesty is going to implement to win the hearts of Sichuan people?"
Zhu Cixiang said: "First of all, of course, it is to trial the imperial examination in all states and counties... This has been said before; secondly, to equally distribute the land. In all states and counties that have completed the imperial examination, all households must be cleared to equalize land! I want Distribute all the land in Kuizhou and Chongqing to the toiling people!"
"Your Majesty," Shi Kefa heard that the method of equalizing land among households was a bit inappropriate, "part of the land in Sichuan is owned by the old owner. Many of the soldiers and generals under the governor of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan are the landowners in central Sichuan. Your Majesty They have been given land coupons before...and now they have to allocate all the land to the poor households in central Sichuan. So what will the soldiers who hold land coupons do?"
Zhu Cixiang frowned and glanced at Shi Kefa, thinking: Why are you, Shi Kefa, so honest? You are already the Duke of Nanyang, why don't you know how to make progress?
Emperor Zhu said calmly: "I am talking about allocating the land in Kuizhou and Chongqing to the working people! I am not saying that all the land in Sichuan should be distributed to the poor!"
What? Just divided into two houses? What about other prefectures?
"Your Majesty, other mansions..." Shi Kefa also asked.
Zhu Cixiang shook his head: "Li Laiheng is in Chongqing now! When I conquer Chongqing, will the rogue bandits still have a foothold in Sichuan?"
Ah...Aren't you lying?
Shi Kefa understood, Emperor Zhu was going to lie again...
Zhu Cixiang didn't wait for Shi Kefa to say more, and continued: "Once again, it is time to establish rural warriors... While equalizing land among households, all states and counties must establish rural warriors. Anyone who serves as a rural warrior can be divided among his family. Good field.
The fourth is to firmly control the channels in and out of Sichuan, and not allow a large amount of cloth, gold, silver, copper coins and other items from outside Sichuan to flow in to harm the interests of Sichuan people! "
"Your Majesty!" Zheng Sen, Minister of Industry, came out again and said, "Are you trying to cut off the trade route to Sichuan?"
Zheng Sen is also very troubled. His family is a maritime merchant and they have little business in the Huguang area of Sichuan. What does it have to do with him whether the trade route to Sichuan is sealed or not?
Zhu Cixiang frowned and said: "Exactly! In the past 20 years, Sichuan has emphasized agriculture and suppressed commerce, banning two industries. Therefore, Sichuan's handicraft industries have been severely suppressed, and there is no way to produce products that can compete with Southeast Asian products. Things. If merchants from the southeast are not prohibited from selling goods into Sichuan, the people of Sichuan will soon be separated from me!"
Zhu Cixiang wants to ban not only the cloth from the southeast, but also the gold, silver and copper coins from the southeast!
Because he did not want serious inflation to occur in the "Mingtong District" of Sichuan, and also to maintain the purchasing power of linen - the gold and silver stolen from Burma and the copper coins issued from Yunnan once caused high prices in Sichuan, but this The wave of inflation ended with the transfer of soldiers in Dashun Prefecture, because when they retreated, they took away most of the gold, silver and copper coins.
Linen is now hard currency again!
Now we can't let a large influx of copper coins and silver take away the linen market... We have to keep the economic model of men farming and women weaving for a while longer.
"But..." Zheng Sen still didn't quite understand, "But sealing off trade routes is not a long-term solution, right? How long can Your Majesty be able to seal it off? Even before our troops arrive in Sichuan tomorrow, there will be goods from the southeast entering Sichuan. Kong Dao!"
Zhu Cixiang smiled and said: "How long can it be sealed? You have to ask Li Laiheng! When he escapes from Chongqing Mansion, I will open up the trade route!"
Zheng Sen breathed a sigh of relief. He thought Emperor Zhu was going to suppress business! It turns out that he was just deceiving the people of Sichuan... The people of Sichuan are also pitiful. First they were deceived by the bandits, and now they were deceived by Emperor Zhu. I really don’t know when it will end!
How did Zheng Sen know that both the bandit Dashun and Zhu Cihong were actually good people... because in the history without them, Sichuan people had been killed to the last few.
They are still alive and well, and can still be deceived...
