eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 251 protect the short

Chapter 251 protect the short

When Xu Guan came out from the palace to look for Han Twelve Lang, he walked around but saw neither of them.After inquiring a few people, I found out that this kid went to Zhengyangmen to watch the excitement.

Twelve Lang was wearing light brown coarse clothes, and he also tried to squeeze in with his feet on his feet.

There are a lot of people with families here, and they are all hard-working people, but whether they are children or adults, they are really happy to receive a certificate of successful registration from the registrant.

This had an inexplicable impact on him, a kid from the frontier.

Suddenly a big hand rubbed his head, "Did you fall in love with the girl from that family?"

Following Xu Guan's direction, Han Twelve Lang saw a fair-skinned little girl, although her clothes were ragged, but her clothes were very clean.

People, both parents.

My father should have gotten a job here, and the family is having a good time.

Twelve Lang has almost reached the age to understand the love between men and women. When Xu Guan said this, he couldn't help but blush, so he covered his embarrassment with anger, "Don't worry about me. You don't know where to find a wife .”

Xu Guan scratched the back of his head, "You kid, you can talk no matter how big or small you are. Do you know that I won you something you've always dreamed of."

"What is it?"

"Go back to camp, I'll tell you when I get back."

Han Twelve Lang frowned, looking a little disbelieving.

Xu Guan put it on his ear and said, "This matter is sensitive, so it's not convenient to talk about it here. But, why did you come here alone?"

"...They said that they can compete for wages here, thirty yuan a day. I thought that there was nothing to do these days, so I came to try my luck. If I say it, it must be the Holy One who has so much money and recruits so many workers all at once. .”

A person has 1 taels a day, and 30 people is 300 taels, or 11 taels, which means nearly [-] taels of silver a year.

It is said that this time it will not only cost 4, but [-] or [-] people, which is even more frightening.

The account is also being calculated in the palace, but the emperor said it's okay, anyway, the money is not a one-time payment, and there is no fear of income later.

And with the gathering of these people, all kinds of small shops outside Zhengyang Gate have also lined up, and the capital is really bustling day by day.

"You want to work too?"

"No Money."

"This time you killed the enemy for meritorious service. Didn't you get a reward of more than ten taels of silver?"

Han Twelve Lang looked like a grown-up, "Then I won't be able to earn so much money when I'm admitted to the military academy. What should I do when I'm done spending it? I've been there secretly in the morning, and those people are well dressed. , I’m afraid it will cost a lot of money.”

He folded his hands on his chest, somewhat worried.

"...It is said that there is also a registration fee."

"You can save that money."

Twelve Lang raised his head, "Will you help me out?"

……

……

"What's wrong with the little girl? She can wear the clothes that both of you brothers wore when they were young, and they will grow up the same. I decide this matter, and this money must be saved. Neither of you should think about spending money indiscriminately."

Sheng's mother gave San Shu and Si Shu a scolding, "I just signed up, and I haven't got my wages for the day, and I want to take out a copper coin without putting it in my pocket?!"

Sishu felt aggrieved, "Brother and I just wanted to make a new dress for my little sister..."

"You're still young, so you don't understand. Just like last year, you did a good job, but the construction ended, and it was finished as soon as it was finished. You forgot the days when you were hungry? Who in our family can predict what will happen in the future? You know the government this time How long will it take to work? Three months? Or six months?"

Having said that, Sanshu suddenly had an idea.

"Mother, I'm going to buy a longevity tablet and pray for the emperor in the Forbidden City. Ask God to bless him with longevity, happiness, and health. The emperor will be happy in the future. If you send a lot of high-ranking officials to recruit workers, then our family will be happy." It's time."

Sheng's mother did not immediately veto the spending of the money, she thought about it carefully, "It should be... In the past, our family didn't have any money, so let's forget it, and we still have to build one in the future. The emperor is a good man, without him making money The women's clinic, Yingying's life is probably in danger."

"Okay. Then wait for my son to work and get the money, then go and do it!"

The poor people have few distracting thoughts, anyway, whoever gives a mouthful of food is a living Bodhisattva.The emperor attached great importance to the work of public opinion and was unwilling to let those civil officials pick peaches.

So his reputation is excellent in this class.

However, in essence, this is still a process of redistribution of wealth. So much money is now distributed to these people who were originally refugees or poor people, but how did this come about?

Stealing from the rich and helping the poor sounds nice, but it's hard to do.

In the past few days, the censors of Zhejiang Dao Yushi, Fujian Dao Yushi, and Jiangxi Dao Yushi have all arrived in Beijing. Zhu Chengshi, the governor of Fujian, even led several magistrates in the memorial, saying that a businessman from Zhejiang went to Fujian. It was a little unruly, and it made Fujian a little chaotic, so Gu Zuo was involved, saying that he was too plundered in Zhejiang, and it was unbearable.

The main thing is that the institution of the Shaofu is really hated by the civil servants. If someone starts it, then officials of all sizes in the capital also go home to write memorials.

Anyway, officials cannot be killed, and Daming will not be punished for his words. Hearing rumors, whether he is true or not, I will write it down when I hear it.

Both Li Dongyang and Xie Qian began to wipe off their sweat. They couldn't move it by themselves, so they brought their subordinates to see the emperor with dozens of memorials in their hands.

When I arrived at the Qianqing Palace, I knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the capital and the local government have nearly [-] copies of the impeachment of Shao Situ recently. The situation is turbulent. In order to quell public grievances and demonstrate justice, shouldn't the court make a statement?"

"Where's the complaint?" Zhu Houzhao turned his back to them, and was standing looking through the things on the imperial case at this time, "Young Situ opened the door to recruit workers at Zhengyangmen, Jinyiwei played the report, and the people were overjoyed. The excitement in Beijing is comparable to a temple fair. Who sees that the people are happy and uncomfortable, and have resentment?"

As soon as he turned around, he did indeed see two stacks of memorials on the ground next to Li Dongyang, "Master Li Ge, Mr. Xie Ge, take care of yourself. With me here, the Ming Dynasty will not be chaotic. It has extended to the cabinet and the six ministries and nine ministers. Do you think there are such people in the six ministries and nine ministers?"

Li Dongyang and Xie Qian shook their heads naturally, "No."

"Since there is none, what are you afraid of?" Zhu Houzhao gave Xie Qian something in his hand, "Mr. Xie Ge, I have seen the matter of training provincial officials proposed by the Ministry of Rites, and it is still possible. You take it back, and according to this Draw up an imperial edict and promulgate the world. Order governors, chief envoys, and inspectors from all over the country to go to Beijing in batches. According to my opinion, there are two batches in the two capitals and 13 provinces. The first batch is in September, and July and August are too hot. The second batch is far away in March of the first year of Zhengde. I first ascended the throne, and the time is still short. Don't worry."

"Yes." Xie Qian took over the imperial decree, but still couldn't hold back his thoughts, "It's just that Mr. Li Ge said that the court officials impeached Shao Situ... If your majesty doesn't say anything, the minister is worried that it will cause criticism. In the end, Shao Situ Situ is afraid that he can't do it anymore."

Zhu Houzhao frowned, it was true that Gu Zuo would resign himself.

The ministers of the Ming Dynasty had this political habit.

"Or... don't worry, let them make a fuss. After all, what can they do?"

Who are they?

Li Dongyang didn't know either, was it those people who went to Shushu?But that group of people were not all in the same group, some followed suit.Anyway, everyone does it, but he doesn't do it, doesn't it seem 'unjust'?

But Zhu Houzhao knew that among the Beijing officials, there must be representatives of local interests.

In fact, he and Emperor Hongzhi deliberately controlled the scope of the Zhejiang case before. Otherwise, someone in Henan and Huguang would have to be unlucky, and the capital probably only dealt with a few deeply involved ones.

The Shaofu was established at the beginning of this year, and Gu Zuo went to Zhejiang to search the shops, which should make some people very alert.

It was actually a big deal for the emperor to direct many businesses to the government. Zhu Houzhao previously felt that he could effectively control the Beijing camp and the court.

But in fact, there are still a large number of low-level officials in Ming Dynasty. They themselves are in business and have inextricable connections with businessmen.And usually there is no sound, to some extent it is like a slow-response beast, and he only moves when it hurts.

Now this group of people suddenly discovered that the people in the capital and the court didn't stop them, and they just let the emperor do this.How can this be?

So targeting Gu Zuo, even though it wasn't agreed upon by everyone, was inevitable.

It is indeed a trouble.

Zhu Houzhao thought that he could not offend everyone in the world. If people of this class opposed him, then the emperor would have nothing to do.

Fortunately, not everyone will rebel when their interests are violated.And this class can't actually do anything big.Farmers and aristocrats have always turned themselves into emperors. I have never heard of merchants rebelling successfully.

Right now, the main reason is that the emperor didn't respond, and many words and people followed suit.If there is a little reaction, it will be different. As for the reaction... It should be to make an example of others.

On April [-]th, the weather was fine again. On that day, the blue was as blue as paint.

The peach blossoms in Meifu are also in bloom, competing for beauty, and the garden is full of fragrance of flowers.

Mei Huaigu was drinking tea while sitting on the wooden platform extending outward under the eaves of the verandah, while the accountant of the Mei Mansion was reporting to him.

Mei Kejia brought millions of dollars to the capital, where he did pawn and inn business.Anyway, although I have spent a lot in the past few years, it is not bad to earn back.

"...So, the ones that can be controlled are only more than 20 taels?"

The accountant was a thin middle-aged man with a goatee, and said respectfully: "If there is more, Madam should ask."

"His Majesty will come to the mansion in a few days. The money is a little low."

The accountant's eyeballs moved, "Then, if you take out the famous paintings and porcelains that have been hidden for many years, the cost can be saved."

Mei Huaigu was taken aback by his words, "Uncle Zhang, what did I say about the money for the arrangement and reception. Has Your Majesty never seen it or eaten it? I'm talking about a door-to-door gift for His Majesty."

"I've seen and eaten it all, so what else can I buy?"

"It's not about buying anything. Your Majesty is a person who pretends to be the people in his heart, and haven't you heard about the recent incidents under the Zhengyang Gate?" Mei Huaigu still has a brain, "The Ministry of Households paid for the construction, in order to ask for a place for the people. Work. The household department has money to do it, so why can’t we do it? Earning money is a trivial matter, but earning His Majesty’s joy is a big thing. Now it’s obvious that Situ is missing. Woolen cloth."

How can the old accountant consider the court, so I can understand it.

It’s okay to update and restore these days, isn’t it?
