Chapter 4 Fairness, Fairness, or Fairness!
After dinner, the governor's boat also arrived at the hospital dock.
There was no flag on the boat, and it did not alarm the people on the dock. Niu Shishi and Tian Tongju and others were indeed left on the boat.
Hai Rui only took Hai'an and two personal soldiers off the ship, and entered Jiangnan Hospital under the leadership of Xiwa.
~~
The hospital has returned to normal order, and it is completely impossible to see that there has just been a false alarm.
Naturally, there were no number dealers, and they asked Hai Rui if he wanted to insert the number.
Hai Rui and Zhao Hao met at the gate of the courtyard where Lin Run lived. Hai Rui's personal captain was Miao Qianhu of the Governor Yamen, and he explained the identity of Hai Zhongcheng to the guards.
The guards quickly knelt down to meet each other and got out of the way.
The two entered the outside of the ward, and Hai Rui smelled the smell of liquor in the ward, frowned and was about to speak.
"It's not alcohol, it's disinfectant alcohol." Zhao Hao's tacit understanding with Hai Rui was quite high, and he explained without waiting for him to ask, and then taught Hai Rui to change into a sterile gown and put on a mask, and then gently pushed the door into Lin Run's ward.
On the hospital bed, Lin Run was still unconscious, his eyes were sunken and withered, and he didn't look angry.
Only the faint sound of breathing coming from the breathing mask proved that he was still alive.
"To this day, Lin Zhongcheng has been lying down for a whole month." Zhao Hao had already asked Li Li Shizhen about Lin Run's recent situation just now, so he introduced Hai Rui on behalf of the doctor: "The burns on the body have basically healed, and the current pulse has stabilized, so there should be no danger to life." But he has smoked and poisoned his brain, and no one can say when he will wake up. ”
Hai Rui's eyes revealed complex emotions, including sympathy for things and injuries, anger that could not be vented, and the slightest hint of indescribable regret.
He stood in front of Lin Run's hospital bed for a long time without saying a word.
Zhao Hao was quietly on the side, he had no way of knowing that under Haizhongcheng's calm expression, there was a battle between heaven and man in his heart......
After a long time, Hai Rui took a step back, slammed towards Lin Run on the hospital bed, and spit out two words in a low voice.
"I'm sorry."
When he stood up, the tangle in his eyes was gone, and he had returned to the indomitable Haigang Peak.
Hai Rui glanced at Lin Run again, and then whispered to Zhao Hao: "Go out for a walk with me." ”
"Hmm." Zhao Hao nodded.
~~
Hai Rui left the hospital straight and strode towards the embankment two miles away.
Don't look at him as not tall, but his steps are very large, his cadence is fast, and he is almost windy.
Zhao Gongzi followed all the way, and when he climbed up the river embankment, he was a little out of breath.
"What kind of physique, it's not as good as my old man." Hai Rui glanced at him.
"Haigong is not an ordinary old man, you are a Shenxing Taibao Scud, you can't compare."
Zhao Hao took the water bag offered by Gao Wu and took a sip of his smoky throat.
It's a good thing that I've been exercising for a year, otherwise I would have to pull it down.
"Any idea why? Because the old man has been walking for half his life, when he went to the capital from Qiongshan to take the exam, I only took the ferry boat when I crossed the sea and the river. Hai Rui said with a smug face: "A lazy child like you who gets in the car when he goes out and gets on the kang when he enters the door, he can't compare with just practicing and pulling out broken tendons." ”
Zhao Hao was speechless when he heard this, and he felt that Haigong was the first person in Daming to hike.
"It was the thirty-first year of Jiajing, and the second time I went to Beijing to take the exam." Hai Jui walked east along the causeway, leaving the guards far behind.
"When I rushed to Beijing in the meeting, it was a real sensation, but unfortunately it still fell into place." Hai Rui smiled self-deprecatingly: "But that hike through Daming made me see the side of Daming that is always ignored and understated. Behind the number of starvation deaths in the mouth of the government is actually the suffering families and the desperate lives lost. ”
"It turns out that the good life of the scholars is based on the suffering of the poor people ten times and a hundred times. If they can restrain their desires a little, then the life of the common people will be much better. But the reality is cruel and desperate, the powerful family only knows how to be greedy, and the people are already skinned, but they only know how to knock bones and suck the marrow. ”
"Don't they know the truth of fishing with all their might? No, they all know it, but almost no one is willing to restrain themselves and take the initiative to cede a little benefit. ”
I only heard Hai Rui say sharply: "Then I can only force them to give in!" ”
~~
The wind and sun on the river embankment are beautiful, but the face of the sea is solemn.
His gaze shifted to the hot construction site opposite, and he let out a long breath of turbid air:
"Lin Zhongcheng's justice, I'm afraid I will get it back a while later."
"Oh?" Zhao Hao was slightly surprised, and then asked calmly: "What does Zhongcheng have to do?" ”
"Let you build momentum, now the Xu family's reputation in Jiangnan has become stinky." Hai Rui said in a deep voice: "The result of Tingtui's one-sided decision is also regarded as a clear wind direction by the officials of the two capitals, and no one dares to speak for the Xu family in Lin Zhongcheng's case." ”
As he spoke, he smiled contemptuously and said, "In the old man's opinion, the Xu family is just dry bones in the mound. ”
"Then why don't you take advantage of his illness and kill him?" Zhao Hao asked softly.
"The sick tiger can no longer be harmed, and it is certainly pleasant to kill it. But what about after that? Yanggu County doesn't need to fight tiger heroes. Hai Rui smiled self-deprecatingly: "The old man knows very well that the court officials just treat me as a quick knife, and after killing people, I should wipe the blood and put it in the sheath." The so-called flying birds are exhausted, and the good bow is hidden, which has been the same since ancient times. ”
Zhao Hao was dumbfounded when he heard this, but he didn't expect Hai Gangfeng, who had a straight temper, to be as clear as these twists and turns.
Therefore, if the old man wants to fight for the people, he must do it before fighting the tiger. After fighting the tiger, my days in Jiangnan will come to an end. Hai Rui's expression was open, his eyes were clear, and he said without a trace of selfishness:
"This may be the most powerful time in the old man's life, and Lin Zhongcheng has laid a solid foundation for me, so it's time for the old man to do something!"
"Zhongcheng's Jiangnan New Deal, how is it going to be unfolded?" Zhao Hao asked with interest.
"I want to do three things, equal grain for the government and the people, a whip law, and clean up the illegal occupation of land!" In Hai Rui's thin body, the most powerful voice of the Ming Dynasty burst out:
"Three things for the same purpose, fairness, fairness, or fairness!"
Zhao Hao can understand these three things that Hai Rui wants to do.
The equal grain of the government and the people is the 'equal grain of the south of the Yangtze River, the integration of the government and the people', which is to abolish the distinction between official land and private land, and collect taxes on all land equally.
A whip law was proposed by Gui Cao, a scholar of the Jiajing Dynasty, and has been tried in Jiangxi and other places to reform the reform of taxation and forced labor. In short, it is to sum up the land endowment, forced labor and other miscellaneous levies of each state and county into one article, which is converted into mu and paid in cash.
Clearing up illegal land occupation is better understood. It is to spit out the land of the government and the people that they have illegally occupied by the big households through such methods as donation, trickery, sprinkling, moving hills, changing sections, and changing the register.
