Chapter 69 Things Always Change

When the world is stable, people's original habits will come back.

No matter how the Yushan Academy, the Yushan University Hall, and the various academies and government institutions in the world educate the people, strong habits of life will still dominate their lives and behaviors.

Wars, famines, these emergencies will only disrupt the order of their lives, in these years, the Ming people seem to be able to accept anything, everything can be compromised, including the funny White Lotus Sect, Maitreya, or Li Hongji's policy of not paying food, Yunzhao's national policy of one family in the world.

If the situation collapses a little more, even being ruled by a foreign race is not unacceptable.

When the world is peaceful, the old habits will come back.

The Ming people were very receptive, and after Yun Zhao won, they accepted Yun Zhao's political propositions, and followed Yun Zhao's rule and accepted Yun Zhao's approach to social reform.

However, there are too many living habits that have been passed down for thousands of years, and Yun Zhao's proposition is just a new proposition, and if you accept it, you will accept it, and if you change it, you will change, and it is not a big deal.

It's like Buddhism, it's like Christianity, it's like Islam, it's coming in, it's coming in, it's not a big deal.

A huge ethnic group that has been inherited for thousands of years, there is nothing that cannot be integrated, and nothing that cannot be accepted.

Therefore, Yun Zhao found that the Ming people did not advance according to the script he had written, but after fusing his script, he gave him a new script and asked him to move forward according to this new script.

It's funny.

However, Yun Zhao couldn't laugh at all.

Because, today's Ming Dynasty is likely to become a new feudal dynasty with highly developed industry, highly developed civilization, and active and enterprising people.

It is a node in the development of feudal dynasties for a long time.

It is hard for people to believe that those great Confucians, who have studied ancient and modern China and the West, have no mental obstacle to such an extremely shameful and humiliating thing as kneeling down to Yun Zhao, and take this matter for granted.

Yun Zhao didn't need people to kneel and worship, and even ordered the abandonment of the ritual of kneeling, but when some great Confucians in Henan knelt at Yun Zhao's feet to worship the Book of Disaster Relief, no matter how Yun Zhao stopped them, they still danced and bowed down according to the strict etiquette format, and did not give up their behavior because Zhang Xiu blocked them or Yun Zhao stopped drinking.

The man knelt on the ground......

What can Yun Zhao do?

If he bows down and returns the etiquette of others, believe it or not, these people can commit suicide on the spot?

Don't doubt it, there really are such people!

The only thing Yun Zhao could do was to help them up one by one, thank them with a smile, and invite the eldest into his carriage, that is, Luan Driver to drink and talk.

Those who were not old enough respectfully folded their hands in front of their chests, and stood in the cold wind with a smile one by one, waiting for the emperor and the elders to talk and laugh in the Luan car, and listened to every laugh in the Luan car, and they were satisfied.

"Hengchen Gong is eighty-one years old this year, and his body is still so healthy, which is really gratifying."

"Your Majesty, the old minister has served as the people's representative for two terms, although he is old and faint over the years, he has still done something that is beneficial to the country and the people, so he has served as the third representative with a cheeky face, hoping to live to see the prosperity come."

"I heard that the flooding of the Yellow River this time is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster, but in my opinion, when a natural disaster comes, there will definitely be a human disaster.

The old gentleman smiled and said: "The empire has its own rules, and the lawless things will naturally be dealt with, the old man is in Henan, and he only sees the officials and the people as a family, and he only feels that there are divisions that are responsible for their own responsibilities, and they are in order, although there are major disasters, they are orderly."

Praise it, congratulate it. ”

Yun Zhao sighed and said: "It's not as good as Hengchen Gong said, the casualties are still heavy, and the losses are still heavy." ”

The old gentleman stroked his beard and said: "That's because Your Majesty is too demanding of them, the old man heard that this flood, the death and injury of officials is the highest in the history, only this one, the people of Henan will only respect the officials."

Your Majesty should know that the floodplain of the Yellow River is a thousand-year-old floodplain, but the lives of people who are injured are not even as good as ordinary disaster years in the old man's opinion, although the people are displaced, but they only live in the wilderness for a month, in this month there is an endless stream of food and medicine, and the officials are working day and night.

The old man's courtyard in Yang Suo was also washed away by the flood, but the old and young in the family were all there, and the subsidies from the imperial court were also distributed, and he even received five catties of food from His Majesty.

Money is nothing but things outside the body, as long as the world is peaceful, it will come back sooner or later.

The official also said that the flood was a once-in-a-millennium event, and although it caused heavy losses to Henan, it also rearranged Henan, and from then on, the village courtyard in Henan would only be built above the waterline, so that it could be guaranteed for a thousand years.

Your Majesty, this flood has only damaged crops, fields, and farms, but it has not damaged the hearts of the people. ”

Yun Zhao and Mr. Hengchen drank wine in the carriage for half an hour, and the people outside the carriage stood for half an hour, until Yun Zhao helped the old man down from the carriage, and these people left the emperor's car under the drive of the old gentleman.

When the old gentleman left, Han Lingshan got into Yun Zhao's carriage, lifted the wine jug and took a sip of wine: "As you said, the current Ming Dynasty is not advancing, but regressing, even inferior to our founding period."

When all these old guys are dead and the young people grow up, maybe there will be some changes.

I now have some admiration for your vision of doing your best to get education for all. ”

"Among the group of people who asked me to leave Yushan, I'm afraid you are also among them, right?"

Han Lingshan took another sip of wine and didn't speak.

"I'm anxious, but you think I'm not doing my job all day, from today on, I'm not in a hurry, and when I really become the kind of emperor like Chongzhen, it's you who are unlucky, not me."

Han Lingshan took a bite of food and said: "You are killing, kill a few important people, maybe they will wake up." ”

"Who will you kill first?"

"Peng Qi's appearance is very suitable for being killed."

"Because he divorced Zhao Guoxiu?"

"That's right, Lao Zhao came to me to drink all night last night, and it was distressing to watch, a ministerial-level high-ranking official was actually divorced."

"Nonsense, if I were Peng Qi, I would also divorce Zhao Guoxiu."

"Huh? Why? ”

"Three years of marriage, the days together have not been two months, the same room is only the number of hands, Zhao Guoxiu is not old and decrepit, divorce is a must, let me tell you, this is the new atmosphere of the dynasty."

"Huh? You mean I can send your sister back to your house? It's all new anyway, so I'll do it too. ”

Yun Zhao rolled his eyes at Han Lingshan and said, "You try it!" ”

"I understand, if you put it on someone, it's a new atmosphere, and if you put it on you, it's a big rebellion, right?"

"That's right!"

"Your Majesty is shameless now, and he doesn't even bother to cover it up."

"When I really become a feudal emperor, my shamelessness will make you feel it clearly in your dreams."

Yun Zhao was worried that his throne would not be guaranteed, but after a year of observation, he keenly found that he had become a symbol of the Ming Dynasty, and any behavior that he wanted to replace would eventually be swallowed up by the saliva of the world.

He used to underestimate the power of the people, always thinking that he was fighting alone, but now he understands that he is the most powerful person in the world, and this image is tirelessly created by all the officials of the Lantian Dynasty, and it has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

The team left the Yellow Flood Area, and Yun Zhao finally saw a real Ming scene.

This is no longer the prosperous appearance of Guanzhong that has been carved by him for many years, nor is it the appearance of the Yellow Flood after the disaster, it is the most real reality of the Ming Dynasty.

The roads were lined with low grass houses, and the farmers were still toiling in the fields in late autumn, chopping cabbage, sweet potatoes, potatoes, cutting down fruitless corn stalks, and carrying them back in bundles.

When the emperor's car arrived, the people knelt respectfully in the field, not afraid, did not run away, but knelt there quietly and waited for their emperor to leave, so that they could continue to live their lives.

Yun Zhao got off the frame and entered the field, at this moment, he didn't think that a large iron cone would fall from the sky and smash his head.

"What to do on your knees, living your life is the best."

As Yun Zhao spoke, he helped an old farmer up, but all the strength of the old farmer was drained by the identity of Emperor Yun Zhao, and after standing up, he sat on the ground with a puff.

It wasn't until he was helped up by two guards that Yun Zhao said to the old farmer, "Go to your house and have a look." “

Perhaps it was the smile on Yun Zhao's face that made the old farmer's fear disappear, and he said again and again: "The family is ...... buried."

Wen Yan, the local mayor, said to the old farmer: "Zhang Wu, Your Majesty just looks at your family background, and you can lead the way." ”

For the first time, Yun Zhao walked into the homes of real ordinary people.

Although he had repeatedly lowered his expectations, he was still very disappointed when he came to Zhang Wu's house.

Fortunately, there were five or six chickens in the adobe-walled yard, two sheep tied to a small pear tree, two pigs in the pigsty, and a black donkey with a white mouth in the barn.

It's just that the house is very dilapidated, and there is a fool in a black cotton jacket leaning on the door frame and smiling at Yun Zhao.

Entering the low room, a musty smell unique to the grass house came to his nose, Yun Zhao did not cover his mouth and nose, and insisted on checking the noodle cabinet and rice jar of Zhang Wu's house.

The corn flour in the noodle cabinet and the millet in the rice bowl are not large, but there are them.

"Your Majesty, the Zhang Wu family is already a solid family in our place, and there are more Zhuang households than the Zhang Wu family."

It stands to reason that in Zhang Wu's house, it should be Zhang Wu to introduce the situation of their family, in the past, Yun Zhao followed the leader to the countryside was this process, but unfortunately, Zhang Wu's face was already as red as a red cloth, and in the cold days of late autumn, his head was steaming like it was steamed, and the chief had to go into battle by himself.

"Is there enough food to eat?"

"Your Majesty distributed five catties of grain to the subjects of the world according to the head, although the grain is not much, but it has played a great role."

"What kind of food was sent?"

"Millet, Your Majesty, five catties of millet seeds, a full five catties of millet seeds."

Yun Zhao turned around and looked at Zhang Guozhu, who was looking at the roof, and said, "You deceived me, and you gave me wheat, but I didn't expect that even the people were deceived!" ”
