The shore market is very lively, most of the people nearby get some eggs and grass specialties to set up stalls here for the boatman to purchase, Chang Yu likes to visit these places to facilitate and Li Muxian to hang around in the crowd, and he will buy some of the things he likes when he sees them.

There was a tea shed under the big willow tree near the river, where many resting boatmen were talking about the news they heard from all directions, Chang Yu and Li Muxian also found a seat and asked for a pot of tea, listening to them with their ears.

Of course, tea is not a good tea, and the water is very likely to be taken from this canal on the spot, and the entrance is really ...... Anyway, Chang Yu, who is used to drinking good tea, finally feels weird, but the story in the tea shed is very exciting.

These shipwrights come and go from south to north, but whenever there is something in one place, it can be spread thousands of miles away overnight, what is the thief army on the Yangtze River is very fierce, try to go as little as possible, a few days ago, whose cargo ship was robbed by the water robbers, even the shipwrights of the cargo owner were killed and thrown into the river...... Qinhuai River has recently appeared with an Oiran again...... There are tens of thousands of officers and soldiers in Jining who are heading south along the river, and they don't know why they are going......

"By the way, have you come from Yanzhou, I heard that there are rioters in Qufu, is it true......

"What kind of chaos is the people making trouble, it is the Confucian Mansion that is passionate about the wealth and the people are angry, hey...... Have you heard of it, and they all say that the descendants of the saint Nakong ...... It's not a thing, saying that whoever sits in the world will descend without a little backbone, and just like that, the grass on the wall still educates the people...... Phew".

"Hey, it's not, I've heard about it since I came from Nanzhili, and now I'm scolding Confucius for being shameless."

"Good guy, so fast, it's spread over Nanzhili, hey, Confucius will kill himself if he does too much injustice, and he will provoke the anger of the people of the world......"

"Not only is the South Zhili spread all over, but the North Zhili is also about to turn the sky upside down......"

Listening to the boatmen's mouths and foaming at the mouth, Chang Yu and Li Muxian looked at each other and smiled.

Although the words of the boatmen are exaggerated, they are also true, such as the fact that Beizhili really turned the sky upside down.

I don't know when it came like a night of spring breeze, with the capital as the center, the public opinion about Confucius was in full bloom, and the headlines in the capital suddenly detonated.

Of course, some people agree, others feel that it is deliberately smeared, and the two sides often fight for different views, but no matter how they argue, the ugly face of Confucius has been brought to the table for discussion.

In the past, even if some people couldn't get used to Confucius, they could only say a few words of sympathy in private, and they would immediately become the target of public criticism when they got it on the table.

Can ...... now

Even some courtier officials were involved.

It is reported that when these remarks reached the ears of the second assistant Wu Fu, he beat his chest and paused: "Confucius, a sage through the ages, has been criticized by this, the world is as follows, and the people's hearts are dull......

However, Li Yuzhi, who heard his words, said lightly: "People are scolding Yansheng Mansion, not Confucius, is Lord Jifu really confused or fake......"

It is said that the two of them almost tore their faces because of this.

Gao Shiming entered the palace three times a day and reported the public opinion outside the palace to Emperor Chongzhen.

Emperor Chongzhen changes color three times a day.

The first time I heard it, I laughed, after all, I was mentally prepared, and the second time I frowned, public opinion was far more ferocious than expected, and even caused the courtiers to tear each other apart.

Because the news of 500,000 taels of silver and 150,000 stone of grain from the Confucian Mansion has been delivered.

Emperor Chongzhen said it three times in a row, which is very good, and when translated into the current words, it is awesome Klaas!

This is naturally a compliment to the little eunuch.

Create public opinion first and then do it, so that the Confucian government can only obediently admit punishment if he knows that he is wrong, and he does not dare to resist immediately under the pressure of public opinion, at least not at the moment.

Therefore, let the public opinion come more violently, the longer it lasts, the more the Confucian Mansion will keep a low profile with his tail between his legs and dare not fight back against the little eunuch.

And as Chang Yu expected, the three years of Yanzhou Mansion's land endowment in exchange for these food salaries is simply worth it, and at the same time, it not only gets benefits for the people of Yanzhou, but also gives the court a good reputation, and of course, it can also use these grains to alleviate the food shortage in Gyeonggi, which is what is most needed at the moment, and it is more precious than sending charcoal in the snow.

And it is actually the Confucian Mansion that pays the bill inside and out.

The more such deals, the better.

Emperor Chongzhen was very happy, so happy that he panicked, he was afraid that this was just a dream, because everything was so unrealistic, why did there be such a sinister and shameless little eunuch in the inner palace who could cause trouble, peace, war, and money.

It's old.

Emperor Chongzhen almost hummed, we ordinary people, I'm really happy today......

In the south of Qingyuan County, Baoding Prefecture, a team of people is slowly difficult to walk, a young man in the team is sad and dark, and the surrounding people are extremely respectful to him, and some people persuade him to ride in a hot car but is reprimanded by him.

This young man is the current Prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cihong.

Xiao Zhu was greatly influenced by Chang Yu, and he was bent on getting out of the palace and out of the capital, the world is very big, I want to see it.

Finally, when Emperor Chongzhen ordered Gong Yonggu and Zhang Guowei to patrol the five northern provinces, he walked out of the capital and his vision was opened, but his heart also received a great impact.

The suffering of the people is too much to write.

All the way south from the capital, everything I saw and heard was miserable.

Chang Yu once told him that if you go out and take a look, you may know why the people rebelled.

If you have no way to live, you can only rebel.

But why did it come to this? Natural disasters and man-made disasters forced it, and the cycle has become a vicious circle, rebelling when there is nothing to eat, suppressing it by the imperial court, and rebelling again after a war and losing harvest and having nothing to eat......

The local accompanying officials told that the hundreds of thousands of thieves and the officers and soldiers led by Chang Yu fought several fierce battles here, and the battlefield was within a radius of dozens of miles, Zhu Cihong admired Chang Yu the most, and heard that the idol had fought here, and was very excited, and ran wildly for ten miles with his horse, wanting to feel the feeling of being invincible in the thousands of troops, and even occasionally encountering a rotting corpse or a discarded weapon would fantasize about a very large picture, whether this person was killed by Chang Yu......

Seeing the suffering of the people in Baoding Mansion, I thought it was hell on earth, but Zhang Guowei informed: "Zhending Mansion in the south, Shunde Mansion, Guangping Mansion...... It's even worse than that," Zhu Cihong's face became more and more pale.

"Disasters are endless, harvests have been lost year after year, although the war is peaceful, the people are not living, I am afraid that many people will starve to death if this continues, right?"

"If you let it go on like this, even if there is no chaos, I am afraid that within three months, there will be ten rooms and nine empty rooms in Beizhili," Gong Yonggu sighed.

"That, that, hurry up and find a way!" Zhu Cihong was anxious.

"There is a way, as long as there is food relief to last until the autumn harvest, the disaster can be postponed, but where to get food now, let alone here, the capital has run out of food!" Zhang Guowei looked sad and looked back at the north: "The imperial court is also on fire at the moment, but there is nothing to help, I just hope that the grain from the south can be transported as soon as possible."

"Find Chang Yu, Chang Yu must have a way" Zhu Cihong has a brain-dead trust in Chang Yu, and Chang Yu is an omnipotent existence in his eyes.

Gong Yonggu shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Zhang Guowei sighed: "It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Chang Gonggong is brave and good at fighting and is invincible, but he is not a god and where did he get food, and now he is ordered to go south to suppress bandits, and he has no time to do this, even if he can get some food, it is only for military needs, which round to get the common people."

"So, did you really watch them starve to death?" Zhu Cihong spread his hands, his face full of pain, he finally understood why his father was young but more than ten years old, and he rarely saw a smile on his face every day.

"Obey the destiny of heaven and do your best!" Zhang Guowei shook his head slightly, looked into the distance and stopped talking.

Mandate of Heaven, Mandate of Heaven, Mandate of Heaven has made the people of the Ming Dynasty suffer so much,,, Zhu Cihong is not to mention how depressed he is.

Report...... A few horsemen came from afar, but they were the people of the brocade guard.

"I heard that Chang Gonggong raised 200,000 stones of grain in Shandong and was going north to the north for disaster relief, and all the state capitals he passed had a share ......"

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Then Zhu Cihong shouted: "Lone knows, only Changyu is feasible!" Saying that he was beating horses and galloping and shouting, Gong Yonggu and Zhang Guowei looked at each other speechlessly, and shook their heads with a bitter smile for a long time, Chang Gonggong is really a god!
