"What do you mean by letting them die there?" Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his teeth itched!
"Dad, it's boring for you to be like this. You are the one who is being tested, and you are the one who is angry. Why don't you allow others to tell you if you don't do well?"
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated and fell silent. Yes, he cared about the villagers the most, but in the end that was the case.
He has been scolded to death for a long time.
Xu Miaojin and the other two were all frightened. They didn't expect Zhu Jun to be so courageous.
He kept winking at Zhu Jun to no avail, and Xu Miaojin was almost dying of anxiety.
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and waved his hand, "Go on."
“Dad, your original intention to bring the wealthy businessmen here was to prosper Fengyang and let the folks in our hometown live a prosperous and prosperous life?
But deep down we still suppress business and suppress merchants.
If you are like this, think about the local officials in Fengyang, how can you care about their life and death?
They just thought that they should do whatever the Holy Emperor wanted them to do, and they would never dare to disobey. "
Speaking of this, Zhu Jun couldn't help but think of another Fengyang Zhongdu, which was abandoned after spending huge sums of money and many years.
He once visited the archaeological site, which was a more magnificent capital than the Nan Forbidden City.
It's a pity that they were all turned into dust, and he felt extremely regretful in his heart.
"The ants still live in vain, let alone people. The land is only for them to build workshops. The tax exemption is also a way to attract and win over. The reputation is also to give them a sense of belonging to Fengyang.
Just like weaving in Suzhou, everyone knows that it is the holy land of weaving, but what does Fengyang have?
Nothing at all.
If it were me, those thousands of wealthy businessmen would classify their businesses into different categories, and then plan to build a huge industrial park outside the city.
At that time, the whole of Fengyang will benefit, because the first people they hire must be Fengyang locals.
When people have jobs, they have monthly money. When they have money, they can improve their living standards. As I said before, people's livelihood and economy will improve.
The operation of business brings not only money, but also people and fame.
Once the industrial park is implemented, those businessmen who are interested in money will be profitable. Do we still need to catch them?
I'm afraid I'll beg to come to my door and want to do business here.
To give them names, you don't need to give them anything like Yuanwailang. If you give them too much, they won't be valuable.
But monuments can be erected for them and erected outside the industrial park for people to look up to.
Wealthy businessmen with good moral character can also be included in the county annals.
Let the government organize tea parties regularly to listen to the opinions of these businessmen.
Solve the difficulties when they arise, rather than the merchants who raised them.
What does this cost us?
not at all.
Are businessmen not the people under our great cause?
Is there a problem when we give generous treatment to the people under our rule? "
Zhu Jun's rhetorical question made Zhu Yuanzhang fall into deep thought, and he reacted suddenly, "This echoes what you said before. They are inseparable, and one move affects the whole body, right?"
"Yes!" Zhu Jun nodded, "In this way, if the merchants know the favorable policies from above and are interested in them, they will definitely not have any thoughts of leaving.
Even if you leave, you will leave an industry here, which will also take care of the local people.
When the people get rich and Fengyang becomes prosperous, the level of the surrounding areas will also improve.
To put it bluntly, when the time comes to organize a tea party and let these wealthy businessmen donate money, it will be enough to hire people to build the Central Capital.
The worst case scenario is to erect monuments for them, to provide shade for their children, and to enter them into the county annals, so that they can also taste the sweetness of being famous for generations to come.
These are the filial piety of the people under the rule, why should we reject them?
Furthermore, Fengyang is prosperous, but are you still worried about not being able to collect taxes?
Are you still afraid that the common people will set up traps in the buildings in Zhongdu? "
The moment he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression suddenly became serious, "Who told you that someone placed a security guard in the Zhongdu building?"
Zhu Jun was startled and realized that this was not the Ming Dynasty.
It is said that the Ming Dynasty was abolished not only because Fengyang was difficult to develop, but also because of a more important thing.
Some people have tampered with the buildings in Zhongdu and "destroyed them".
The construction work in Zhongdu was heavy, but no corvee wages were given to the workers. These people who were forced to work were very dissatisfied. During the construction of the palace, they buried cursed things such as paper figures as a hope. to bring bad luck to future residents.
The three city walls inside and outside Zhongdu were even poured with iron. They were extremely hard and difficult to demolish.
Lao Zhu also knew that he was in the wrong and it was his fellow villagers, so he had no choice but to abandon Zhongdu, wasting countless manpower and material resources.
The wish to return home in fine clothes was completely in vain.
Zhu Jun secretly scolded himself for speaking quickly, so he quickly made up for it: "Many refugees from Fengyang fled to the capital before, and some people were talking about this in private. I don't know whether it is true or not!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was ashen, and Zhu Jun's words were like a thorn in his heart.
Previously, Hu Guoyong went to investigate the poisoning case, and countless people died in Guo Heng's case.
In addition, several people who built Zhongdu were all veterans of the Huaixi lineage, so he did not go into details.
But the people from the Guards Department did indeed report this matter. He didn't take it to heart before and just thought it was a rumor.
But now, this rumor has reached Zhu Jun's ears, and he has to re-examine the matter!
And Zhu Jun’s words: “Fengyang refugees!”
It deeply hurt Zhu Yuanzhang's heart. It seemed that what Hu Guoyong said was not entirely true, and he should be shielding some people.
Fengyang's matter cannot be shelved. If the boss had not been injured, he would have sent it to deal with it long ago.
But right now, it’s not convenient for anyone.
People from the Huaixi lineage will inevitably protect them, while people from the Eastern Zhejiang lineage, whose status is not high, are afraid that they will never come back.
Therefore, he needed someone with a high status and the ability to control these people to go to the Fengyang folks on his behalf to resolve their grievances.
At the same time, I can investigate some things.
Zhu Di and others were not suitable, so they still wanted to surrender to the vassal state.
Lao Wu has also returned to Beijing. He is afraid that he will arrive in Yingtian soon, and he will not be suitable.
After much thought, only Zhu Jun's identity was the most suitable.
Not only is his identity suitable, but the outside world also has a very bad opinion of him. If he goes, those people will definitely despise him!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed heavily.
It was this sigh that made Zhu Jun sit up straight, "Dad, I just said it casually, don't worry about it!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "How can such a thing be possible? Of course we won't take it to heart, but what you just said makes sense. It's true that we didn't think carefully before."
Zhu Jun was dumbfounded. Why did Lao Zhu admit his mistake? Something was wrong. It was so wrong. He always felt that it was a scam!
Before he could figure it out, Zhu Yuanzhang's next words made him dumbfounded!
