"Your Majesty has a clear holy virtue. He uses the surplus of the gentry to make up for the shortcomings of the common people. He uses the manufacturing industry to make the people rich and live in peace. He enlightens the people's wisdom and strengthens their bodies through preaching and military training. He is truly a king of great benevolence and great sage... I Xu Guangqi, a scholar of the Dongge University and Minister of the Ministry of War, wrote this book in the Xinjian Social Studies School in Qufu with the pen of a scholar and recited it here. I hereby offer it to the people of Tianjin, Qufu and other places who admire you, even though they are the words of a village man and a fool. , however, our emperor’s achievements in governing the world can also be seen in his simplicity:
Tang Youshan, a resident of Tianjin Huangenfang: The new emperor is really good! In the past, my family had to go hungry even in the best of times. Last year, because of the lack of grain supplies, our children starved to death. Now the emperor has thought of us and allowed us to settle in Tianjin, giving us a stable job. We can’t go hungry anymore. , I can also buy some game to eat from time to time, and my child no longer has to run around naked. This year I finally had enough money to buy some shorts and shorts made by Baijia Bhutto people from a nearby old woman. , although it’s not warm, but at least I don’t have to bare my butt anymore. I’ll save some money and buy winter clothes for my child. It’s a pity if my child can survive the winter last year! In any case, now I have really met a good emperor. I have asked my son to study hard in social studies and repay the emperor in the future!
People in Tianjin Zhongjunfang said: The emperor is more effective than the Bodhisattva. I have prayed to the Bodhisattva for so many years, but I am still hungry. Now the emperor has saved my family. Originally, the whole family was about to starve to death last year. Who would have thought The Emperor has thought of us. Even an old guy like me has to work as a watchman to buy some money and food every month. I just hope that such a good Emperor can live long live, so that my descendants can really not go hungry. .
Lu Jiaye, a villager in Qili Village, Qufu: Your Majesty, thank you for giving us a bad breath. The evil masters of the Kong family have killed so many people. We dare not speak out. Even the county prince is a member of the Kong family. I didn’t expect that Your Majesty, you are wiser than other emperors. You were not deceived by the Kong family. You knew that they were bad and pus-filled. They ransacked our homes and gave us the fields they occupied. We are grateful to you. Great kindness.
Kong Ergou, a child in Fengqiao Village, Qufu: The emperor asked me to read a book. It turns out that Tang poetry is so interesting to memorize.
Su Qianqian, a child in Meilin Village, Qufu: I heard from my brothers in the army that Your Majesty is wise, powerful and handsome. You will marry girls from common people like us as your concubines. Can I be your concubine when I grow up? I know you are a good concubine. Your Majesty, I want to marry you! "
…
Zhu Youxiao stayed up late to read Xu Guangqi's memorial and couldn't help laughing at the end.
For a moment, and for some unknown reason, after Zhu Youxiao read these sincere, simple, or innocent words from the common people, he felt like drinking nectar, feeling very energetic all over his body, and felt that his hard work since becoming emperor was not in vain.
Although his purpose from beginning to end is not that great, it is more about saving himself.
But now seeing these words of gratitude, Zhu Youxiao is still very touched.
Zhu Youxiao was in a good mood because he learned that an innocent little folk girl was going to marry him, and he thought that he already had many concubines from common people in his harem.
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao decided to choose a concubine to sleep with him tonight.
Although the queen is now becoming more and more proactive in doing business.
But at this moment, he wanted to govern the Ming Dynasty more and more, and he decided to continue to share the rain and dew with his descendants.
"I'll lose my virginity again tonight!"
So Zhu Youxiao made a brand new concubine.
After turning over the wooden cards, Zhu Youxiao continued to read Xu Guangqi's memorial, still couldn't help laughing, and said: "Finally you don't call me a tyrant!"
…
"This tyrant! His methods are so clever! He has ulterior motives! Let these untouchables complain, talk about the suffering of being oppressed by the gentry and the powerful, alienate the relationship between the ignorant people and the gentry, and even wantonly slander the gentry and the virtuous. It is obvious that today's emperor is doing this in Tianjin and Qufu. He wants to directly spare the scholar-bureaucrats and rule the common people, not letting the scholar-bureaucrats control the people for the court, so that the ignorant people will become wise, and they will become more and more unruly people. You should be vigilant and do everything you can to stop it!"
Juren Wu Changshi was sitting in a teahouse in Tianjin City. When he looked at the complaints of some Tianjin people in the social sciences outside, he couldn't help but punched the table and whispered to his friend Yang Yi.
"It is truly unexpected to squander the anointing of the people in the south of the Yangtze River and win the hearts of the refugees in order to realize the ambition of a single husband. However, it is extremely disappointing that scholar-bureaucrats such as Xu Guangqi and Bi Ziyan also followed suit!"
Yang Yi echoed in a low voice.
"How can these idiots be compared with the scholars? People like Du Fu and Xu Guangqi now regard them as citizens! Duke Manchu asked us to go back and form a new society this time. His original intention was to reshape the opinions of the gentlemen of Donglin and make them We like-minded people must have the same determination and work together to safeguard our status as gentry, and we cannot let this tyrant treat us the same as these ordinary people."
Wu Changshi continued to whisper.
Yang Yi nodded and said in a low voice: "We can't let the imperial court organize households and regulate the people in the hands of these people! How can we, the gentry, be the same as these idiots? We should have preferential treatment in terms of laws and etiquette, and these idiots are the same The common people are only worthy of being driven by scholars. How can the emperor directly bypass the scholar-bureaucrats and directly win over the people? This is simply a mess of etiquette!"
"That's right. However, to achieve this goal, we must first prevent the emperor from having enough financial resources to win over the people, and he must not allow scholarly scum like Xu Guangqi to appear as his lackeys. Now that we have returned to establish a new society, we must first Organized people to confiscate the Xu family and destroy all of them."
Wu Changshi sneered as he said this: "This matter of exterminating families and confiscating homes is not something that only his emperor can do!"
Yang Yi hurriedly asked in a low voice: "What about the second one?"
Wu Changshi said with a cold face: "Now that there is no way to attack the tyrant because of the strict palace restrictions and dense factory guards, but can't people like Fang Congzhe and Xu Guangqi do it?"
"Cut off its wings, good!"
Yang Yi quite agreed.
…
"I have to go to Denglai for inspection. You should continue to divide the land among the people in Qufu and try to find out more ways to get closer to the army and the people. But you must also be prepared for the possibility of someone secretly causing trouble. Some people don't want us. People who are loyal ministers don’t even like that the common people can expose the shortcomings of the gentry in this way. To many people, this means that we are all messing up the system; therefore, we must be careful, strengthen control over outsiders, and try to plan some places to act as Market towns where villagers trade, so that Dongchang can easily set up shops in these places to monitor some people with malicious intentions."
With his rich experience and insightful shrewdness, Xu Guangqi could naturally guess that many gentry did not like what was happening in places like Tianjin and Qufu. Therefore, he needed to remind Zhang Tongchang, but he did not expect that he would take the initiative. Put forward the idea of letting Dongchang continue to grow.
Obviously, Xu Guangqi didn't realize that he no longer wanted to let opponents destroy this place.
Next, after Xu Guangqi met the new Shandong Governor Xu Keqiu, he went to Denglai to meet with Denglai Commander-in-Chief Shen Yourong, and then took a boat to Liaodong with Shen Yourong.
"This place is called Lushunkou. The general believes that it can be used as a place for navy training and garrisoning. From here to Denglai, there are islands to rely on along the way. The transportation of money and food is also convenient, and it can form a lock with Denglai Navy. Yin, if you retreat, you can guard the sea route to the capital, and if you advance, you can conquer North Korea!"
After arriving at Lushunkou, Shen Yourong made suggestions to Xu Guangqi.
Xu Guangqi nodded and said with a smile: "General Shen's proposal is consistent with the Holy Will."
