There is a difference between recruitment and conscription.

The latter is a kind of compulsory labor and a kind of tax, and the government sends you to work, but you dare not go?

But since there is a whipping law, there is no so-called forced labor in Dingxing County.

Xiao Jing saw that many people were still confused and didn't quite understand, so he swallowed his saliva: "Thirty big money a day, or a day." Dingxing County is in Beizhili, has always been a poor county, the people, a few years ago, frozen to death and starved to death, a winter, there are hundreds. I also heard that the people there, the family only has one set of clothes, and the men go out in clothes, and the family can only hide at home, covering them with rags to keep warm......"

Xiao Jing said: "Therefore, don't say that it is thirty dollars, it is ten dollars, these people have to rush to it, at least, it can make their families barely eat, right?" What's more, it's the farming season right now...... All the strong men in the county have gone, and they are surrounded by water, and no matter how hard it is to build roads, they also feel that there is no hindrance, and they are afraid, and the strength in their bodies cannot be exchanged for money. ”

When Emperor Hongji heard this, he was shocked.

He hadn't heard of the family wearing a pair of pants.

If you encounter some corrupt people, you are afraid that you will be scolded, which is a loss of morality.

But at this time, whether it was Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, or Wang Ao, Ma Wensheng, Wen Tao, Zhang Shengren, etc., they all fell into a deathly silence.

They still can't imagine how terrible poverty is.

In the past, these news were not reported, and even if something needed to be reported, it was just words such as the great hunger of the people.

But this time is different, the factory guard has been doing things very unfavorably recently, Xiao Jing is a little panicked, and he has to report something, showing that the factory guard's investigation is very rigorous.

Emperor Hongzhi had a sallow face, but there was no surprise at all.

Xiao Jing saw that Emperor Hongzhi was silent, and continued: "Slave maid...... When I went out of the city and was about to return to Beijing, at the gate of the city, I was surrounded by countless ragged people, and the slaves and maids couldn't get out, even if the factory guards showed the signs of the pro-army, and even made a gesture to whip them, they were not moved......

Emperor Hongzhi's body shook, and his face turned even yellower.

He struggled to breathe evenly.

But his breathing is getting shorter and shorter.

Xiao Jing didn't notice this, and bowed at the feet of Emperor Hongzhi in fear: "These thirty dollars a day are not much." But now, the people of Manxian County are looking forward to starting work earlier......"

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath: "Dingxing County, which is also at the feet of the Son of Heaven, is it so miserable?" ”

Xiao Jing said cautiously: "This ......"

Fang Jifan was on the side, and said with added fuel and vinegar: "Your Majesty, I am against it. ”

"What?"

Everyone looked at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan said: "The people of Dingxing County are also very rich. ”

Emperor Hongzhi thought that Fang Jifan was ridiculing, and his face was angry.

Fang Jifan said: "A few days ago, Erchen's grandson also repaired books, oh, it was Liu Jin's grandson, he complained to Erchen that the people of Dingxing County were too rich, and there were many servants at home, and the house was ...... Covering an area of 100 acres, the courtyard wall, are higher than the city wall, not only that, they also warmly invite the grandson of the son to eat, Your Majesty, that can be full of a table of dishes, a few guests to accompany, plus the host's family, a total of only six or seven people, on the dish, there are thirty or forty plates, the dishes, all of them are extremely precious, flying in the sky, swimming in the water, just say that the duck tongue, fry a plate, you need to kill dozens of ducks, the grandson of the son, every day is invited to go, hospitality...... I can't stand it, he's miserable! ”

“……”

Fang Jifan smiled and said teasingly.

But the people in front of him, one by one, were all like ashes.

This is equivalent to holding a knife and poking it in the heart of a person.

Fang Jifan said: "Not only that, but the grandson of Erchen also heard that the people who invited him to the banquet had a group of wives and concubines, one of them, and there were twenty-three concubines in the family, and there were two girls around this concubine, and one grandmother took care of them, and their rouge was specially purchased from Jiangnan." The satin they wore was all Songjiang satin, as thin as light silk. ”

“……”

Or silence.

Emperor Hongzhi's body shook, and his face was miserable.

Liu Jian and the others, with a look of trepidation on their faces, these ...... They can't imagine it.

Especially Wang Ao...... He was ten years old.

It's in the midst of this embarrassment.

Suddenly, someone said crisply: "Dad, there are twenty-three concubines, why do you only have my mother." ”

This is Fang Zhengqing's voice.

Fang Jifan's face flushed.

He stammered, wanting to explain something, but he felt that he couldn't explain it to this little bastard...... actually poked Fang Jifan's heart a little, and Fang Jifan ignored him.

Fang Zhengqing shouted again: "Dad, I remember, you also have concubines, don't you and Aunt Xiang like to hug each other secretly?" I saw it, and you kissed her mouth! Is Aunt Xiang a concubine......

Fang Jifan panicked.

the groove.

What about the cheat, this is ......

He hurriedly shouted: "You loser, what nonsense are you talking about." You are so young, and your mind is full of such dirty thoughts, I will kill you! ”

As he spoke, he rushed forward.

Fang Zhengqing hid behind Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a pale face.

Fang Jifan suddenly shuddered.

The concubines of the Ming Dynasty, from a legal point of view, are not allowed to take concubines, this is a matter of principle, and as for the corruption of private life, it is also not allowed.

During the Chenghua Dynasty, there was a county horse who was beheaded because of this.

This is just a county horse, the daughter of the prince, not to mention the horse.

Fang Jifan immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense, son...... Not such people. ”

Fang Zhengqing hid behind Emperor Hongzhi and shouted: "I saw it with my own eyes, I'm not a child anymore, why should my father deceive people!" ”

Fang Jifan smiled and did not comment.

At this time, Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said, "Take the children away." ”

The eunuch on the side wanted to step forward.

Zhu Zaimo said: "Father, Sun Chen wants to hear it......"

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, but suddenly remembered something.

He stared at Zhu Zaimo for a long time: "If I remember correctly, at the beginning, you said, Dingxing County, there will be no chaos, is I too worried?" ”

Zhu Zaimo nodded: "Yes, Sun Chen said so." ”

Liu Jian thought about it, but he didn't take it too seriously, children, talking nonsense.

When Xie Qian and the others heard this, they couldn't help but think that the emperor and grandson had actually said these words.

Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back, and after listening to these hateful things, Emperor Hongzhi was like a fish in his throat, but it seemed that only when he looked at his grandson did he feel better.

He barely squeezed out a smile and said, "Why? ”

Zhu Zaimo said: "Because it's a very simple truth......

The emperor and grandson actually make sense......

Everyone looked at Zhu Zaimo with a stunned expression.

Zhu Zaimo said: "Sun Chen also read the Analects, but when he read the Analects, he found that Sage Confucius had a huge mistake. ”

"What?"

Liu Jian and the others' faces turned white.

A child who is less than his waist is wrong.

Xie Qian, Wang Ao and others were like ashes.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was calm, and he encouraged: "Is it, what's wrong?" ”

Surely there is nothing wrong with a saint.

But Zhu Zaimo said: "Father, the mistake of the Analects is wrong, it is always too general, what people can make and what they can't know; What is the way to govern, all to punish, and the people are exempted; or even if the people have no faith and cannot stand ......"

These words, he opened his mouth.

But here, I really don't read a lot of books.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but be pleased.

It's just that...... This bizarre theory, how can he be virtuous with Wang Shouren?

Zhu Zaimo said: "Sun Chen read the Analects at that time and felt that Sage Kong was really amazing, he put the people first and implemented the theory of benevolent government...... Sun Chen admired him for his five-body throw. But ......"

Zhu Zaimo said: "Senior Brother Wang Shouren, a few days ago, he took us on an outing. ”

"Sure enough...... Wang Shouren ......"

Someone's pupils constrict.

Emperor Hongzhi was still confused, he still didn't understand, what did this have to do with Zhu Zaimo's previous judgment.

Zhu Zaimo continued: "In the nursery school, there is an outing once a month, and that time it was led by Senior Brother Wang Shouren, who led us to the grange in Xishan, where there were many households, and at noon, we boiled porridge and drank at the farmer's house. ”

Many people still don't get it.

Fang Jifan seemed to understand, but he didn't have the heart to listen to Zhu Zaimo's words now, he was full of thoughts, whether His Majesty had taken Fang Cai'er's matter to heart, and how he should explain it.

Zhu Zaimo showed an innocent smile, but this kid, although his face was naïve, there was a certain wisdom and cunning in his eyes: "The household told me, yes, they want to farm, sun and rain, and be the people, how can there be no black and autumn." Not only are they born black, but their hands and feet are also full of calluses...... Sun Chen carefully observed, and the nearby households were indeed ...... It's all like this, Sun Chen was thinking, oh, it turns out that they are our people of the Ming Dynasty. But when we went back, because it was raining, Wang Jinyuan led the carriage and horse to pick us up. That Wang Jinyuan was by my side, but he looked at the sky and said, it suddenly rained this day, God, don't let us people live well. ”

Zhu Zaimo smiled, revealing a row of baby teeth: "At that time, Sun Chen was confused, how could Wang Jinyuan be a citizen?" And I called him, and asked him, Are you also a people? Wang Jinyuan called himself a grass citizen, saying that he had no official position and no position, and of course he was also a citizen. But Sun Chen saw that he was white and fat, and there were no calluses on his hands and feet. At that time, Sun Chen realized that it was ...... The so-called people, the so-called people, are fundamentally different. Sage Confucius used the word 'people' to dominate the people of the world, which is a big fallacy! ”
