This sentence is very serious and almost completely denies Zhu Di's efforts over the years.
"My father taught me a lesson, and I will correct it immediately."
"This is not a matter of rectification, it is that you do not see the poor people in your eyes, and you are not a truly compassionate person.
You only have great achievements and achievements in your heart, and you cannot see the suffering of the people.
A person who can truly see the suffering of the people will not let himself govern the poor people like this. “There is no harm without comparison.
In Zhu Jun's vassal territory, the farmers in the countryside were more like the gentry in the city who returned to their hometowns to retire.
Well fed, warmly clothed, food, money, and a house.
No wonder so many people are willing to go to Weihaiwei, a little-known place.
If he had known that there was such a paradise back then, he would have run there even if he didn't even think about it.
It's a pity that he was unlucky and couldn't meet such a good vassal king as Zhu Jun.
Zhu Di didn't understand why his father got so angry over such a trivial matter. In his opinion, he had done a good enough job. Was it too much to be picky?
"Father, I will change this now, please calm down." Zhu Di suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything and continued to inspect other villages. The results were similar. There was no worst, only worse. In some poor families, several people took turns wearing one set of clothes.
Whoever wants to go out has to get dressed.
Most of the time, the family huddles in the room, covered with thin mattresses, huddled together to keep warm, to survive the cold winter.
Zhu Yuanzhang came from the bottom, and he knew that people in this kind of situation would definitely talk about it.
Just because the people of Weihaiwei are living a good life, we cannot assume that people all over the world are living a good life.
That's just Weihaiwei.
"Then how do you want to change it?"
Zhu Di was stunned again, "Build roads, build houses for them..."
The more Zhu Yuanzhang listened, the more he couldn't stand it, "So, you plan to give charity to subsidize them?"
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's expression getting more and more ugly, Zhu Di was also speechless, "Father, have you done something wrong?"
"Why, you think you did a good job?" Zhu Yuanzhang said: "We finally know why Yuandadu has so many new houses, but the villages under your rule are so poor.
Land is expensive in most Yuan Dynasties. If you develop new houses, you can make money.
But the land in the village is not valuable, and you won’t make money by developing it.
You feel that building roads in villages will not bring you any benefits. ,
And, it costs a fortune, so you turn a blind eye to the suffering of these people.
Listen to your condescending and giving alms tone just now.
It makes people sick to hear it. "
"Father, I admit that there are things that I didn't do well, but it won't make my father belittle him like this, right?" Zhu Di couldn't stand it anymore. He did have things that he didn't do well, but he wouldn't be criticized for it. Derogatory to the point of being useless and worthless, right?
"Let's not talk about Weihaiwei. Let's take Fengyang as an example. Do you know how well the village in Fengyang is doing now?
At that time, every village had cement roads and every village had its own industry.
We heard that in one of the richest villages, one household received a dividend of two hundred taels.
They live in a large courtyard with two entrances and two exits. The granary is full of food. The children at home can study, and their life is prosperous.
If there is no man in the family, the village will take care of him alone. Not to mention the monthly subsidy, someone from the village will come to visit him every month with food and oil.
This is also the case in municipalities directly under the central government, let alone Weihaiwei.
You said you used a new system. This new system is how to develop real estate in the city and how to make money, right?
Look at the people under your command, they are all fat and fat.
There's a bit of a down-to-earth look there. "
He was already displeased with Zhu Di's extravagance and waste before. Now, seeing these people, he became even more angry. "If you can't manage the vassal territory, don't do it. Let others do it!"
Zhu Di's hands in his sleeves were tightly clenched, but he finally knelt down on the mountain, "What my father teaches me is that my sons and ministers know their mistakes."
Seeing Zhu Di kneeling down, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Our evaluation of you is correct. You are not a compassionate person. Just enjoy your life in Yuandadu, Your Highness the King of Hell!"
With that said, Zhu Yuanzhang got on the carriage without looking back. He even refused to ride with Zhu Di.
He went to Qingzhou, and even Zhu Zhen did better than him.
Everyone in Qingzhou followed Zhu Jun's new system, and even he looked at the burst of vitality.
But Yuandadu, a place that has been prosperous for hundreds of years, is still so poor.
Not just one village, but almost every village.
The bumpy dirt road made it impossible to get down.
Zhu Di's face was indescribably ugly. He never expected that this would happen.
After returning to Yuandadu, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he didn't even eat any food and shouted to leave.
Zhu Di could only kneel outside the yard and admit his mistake to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Although, he doesn't think he did anything wrong.
But Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him and ordered people to pack their things and prepare to return to Beijing.
"Let me tell you, we are angry because you ignore these poor people, because of your extravagance and waste, and because of your condescension." Zhu Yuanzhang walked to Zhu Di's side, said a word, and left.
Zhu Di could not stop Zhu Yuanzhang, and his pleas were useless.
He knew that his father was really angry this time. He had never seen Zhu Yuanzhang so angry before.
This made him a little overwhelmed.
Even the great monk was a little helpless.
Zhu Di saw each other for dozens of miles before stopping.
On the way back, he asked the great monk, "What did I do really badly?"
"Your Highness did a good job. Even though there are some things that are not done well, when manpower is limited, it is impossible to cover everything." The monk said.
"My father said that I have no compassion, that I only have ambition, that I don't see the poor people in my eyes, that I only think about making money and fall into the eyes of money." Zhu Di was quite frustrated. He had worked hard for so long, not just to let his father The emperor looked at him differently, but in the end, in his eyes, his efforts were worthless and he was reduced to nothing.
“The wise help the world, and the poor work alone. If you don’t have money, how can you train a strong army and do things better?
The young monk said something treasonous, and His Majesty was a little picky. "The great monk said.
Zhu Di calmed down for a while and felt that his father was too picky, and then said: "After all, he still thinks that I am too rich.
It's also my fault for being too public and causing today's disaster.
After going back, you must learn from it. "
The great monk said: "As long as His Highness gets credit for foreign wars in the future, His Majesty will definitely look upon His Highness with admiration.
The harsher His Majesty scolds you at this time, the more it shows that His Majesty has high demands and expectations for His Highness.
Isn't this a kind of consideration? "
