Chapter 701: Overcoming Thorns
Xie Jin's words are light, but after thinking about it carefully, he is reasonable.
There is a selfish desire to solve the problem here.
In fact, Hao Fenglou and He Jianxing from the household department messed around like that, although there were many complaints, but Xie Jin and these people found that it was also of great benefit to them.
In the past, although he himself knew what it meant to be popular, everyone supported the prince after all, and they also had a good impression of him, but so what?
The relationship between Hao Fenglou and the chaebols, that is, Jiao is not separated from Meng, Meng is not detached, for the chaebol of Langshan, Hao Fenglou fights for their interests in the court, which can be described as worrying about labor, and the chaebol's support for the Hao family also leaves no room for it, so the Hao family, Chen Xue, the chaebol and even the king of Zhao, although their strength is small, but they are a joint force.
This is probably because they can share the same hatred and hatred, and at the same time have a precarious mentality, they can have today, it is purely accidental, it is precisely because of this accident that they all have thoughts in their hearts, knowing that today's wealth is not easy to come by, and they have never taken it for granted, if they want to keep their wealth, they must do their best, and they must not go to Qin and Dusk.
On the other hand, those gentry, the power of the gentry, after the accumulation of all dynasties, really want to mobilize, the strength can be imagined, how can it be compared with that group of businessmen, but for the gentry, they can have today, this is set by the ancestors, eight hundred generations earlier, it is such a rule, this is a matter of course, they should have eaten and drunk spicy, and the theoretical basis is ready-made. Everything is inferior, only reading is high, what gentleman is laboring, and villain is laboring. Because of this, they can have a good impression of the crown prince. can be satisfied with Xie Jin, but this does not mean that they contribute, the so-called contribution is nothing more than when the prince ascends the throne, everyone promotes it in the local area, which is already regarded as a dragon.
In fact, if you really want to talk about it, the power of the gentry. Not only is it ten times that of a businessman, but it is precisely because he feels that he is out of the matter, so he only knows how to shake the flag. On the contrary, for the crown prince and Xie Jin, these powers are dispensable, except for making his reputation better. Occasionally, he uses public opinion to suppress his opponents. It is useless to come up with something theoretical and righteous.
However, in the past six months, because of the massive loss of population, this has really touched the fundamental interests of the gentry, and in the southern provinces, the land has dropped by almost half in an instant, and the land is the lifeblood of the gentry, and the land is worthless. It's a salary from the bottom of the kettle, but even if you have land. There is no one to cultivate, which makes them die even more.
So recently, the crowd has been raging, and everyone has been roaring fiercely, one by one when they talk about Nalang Mountain, when they talk about Siam and Cochin, so their eyes are red, and they can't wait to fight hard.
But the problem is that the people's will is certainly available, but what is needed is not this people's heart, this thing is too mysterious, it is useful to say that it is useful, and it is not a problem to exclude dissidents at ordinary times and use it to mobilize the feelings, but this kind of people's heart, at the moment, is useless, you just move your mouth, you don't know how to contribute, you can still scold people to death?
It is precisely because Xie Jin is aware of this kind of emotion and sorts out this relationship that he feels that there is no need to speak for them at the moment, this emotion, if it is brewed and exploded, can it be used for it, and it can be used to elevate himself with this power, and at the same time become his own killing weapon.
Zhu Gaochi also understood, the eyes of the two touched each other, each knew each other's thoughts, Zhu Gaochi smiled slightly: "What Mr. said is very true, after all, moving the people is a national policy formulated by my father, if it is overthrown, wouldn't I, as a son, become disloyal and unfilial, this matter, I'm afraid I have to think about it again." ”
Xie Jin smiled and said, "Your Highness has work." ”
Zhu Gaochi was about to go to the Warm Pavilion, when he suddenly remembered something, but stopped again, and said, "Yes, I heard that Xia Yuanji is now prosperous in Langshan." ”
Xie Jin pursed his lips: "There is this rumor." ”
Zhu Gaochi didn't want to say any more, so he knew it in his heart, nodded his head, and went towards the deep palace forbidden garden.
Regarding Xia Yuanji's matter, Zhu Gaochi also knew that this matter was secretly reported by the people in Langshan, but the key problem is that Xia Yuanji has a very high reputation, not only that, when he was dismissed and exiled, he reconciled Jin, but he did not add fuel to the fire, in order to set an example for this person, it can be regarded as hollowing out his mind, the purpose is nothing more than to let the people of the world feel the injustice suffered by Xia Yuanji, the more unfair Xia Yuanji is, the more hateful the surname Hao.
This kind of careful thinking, who knew that now it has become a double-edged sword, hurting Hao Fenglou, and finally hurting himself.
This Xia Yuanji is too unethical, a good gentleman doesn't do it, he has to be a villain.
As soon as Zhu Gaochi thought of this, he couldn't help but be disgusted in his heart, he seemed to have completely forgotten that just back then, it was he and Xie Jin who were consuming Xia Yuanji's political inheritance, and in this Xia Yuanji, I don't know how many articles he had done, and even Xia Yuanji's dismissal, whether it was him as the prince or that Xie Jin, but in secret, he had made a lot of efforts.
Just for now......... I'm afraid that Xia Yuanji's affairs have to be covered, even if there are such rumors in the market, it has to be clarified, this Xia Yuanji's reputation is too high, if it is really spread, it will inevitably shake people's hearts, so even if Zhu Gaochi knows, he can only knock out his front teeth and swallow it in his stomach, and this matter has to be covered.
…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In the blink of an eye, Zhu Gaochi arrived at the warm pavilion, and he was sincerely afraid of giving his father a courtesy, saying that his son had seen his father, and his father had been in poor health recently, and his son could not follow his driver's license, and he would not be redeemed for death.
Zhu Di sat high behind the imperial case, his body had been cold since last month, and it was indeed a lot worse, coughed, and said: "You don't have to be polite, get up, you and my father and son, I haven't seen each other for a long time recently, what have you been doing lately?" ”
Zhu Gaochi said: "Read." ”
"Oh." Zhu Di looked a little cold: "It's okay to read, but you can't just patronize reading, you are the prince, you are the prince, I see that the saints have always been kings, and they may not all have read, you look at Taizu, you look at me, naturally, there is no harm in reading, you sit down and talk, I have something to ask you." ”
Zhu Gaochi sat down, seeing that his father's mood was not very good today, so he was a little cautious, reluctantly put up a smile, and said: "What my father taught is that my sons should keep it in mind. ”
Zhu Di nodded his head and said: "I taught you today, just to ask you what you mean, you are the prince after all, over the years, you have also sharpened a little bit, and you have presided over the affairs of money, grain, and yellow books, and it is expected that you have some experience." Since I issued the decree to relocate the people, it is said that there have been many complaints in the southwestern provinces, and recently there have been people complaining, and it is said that this matter is not trivial, and may even shake the country's foundation. ”
Zhu Gao nodded and said, "Erchen heard about it." ”
Zhu Di said: "If the relocation hurts the peasants, and if the peasants are hurt, there will be chaos, what do you think about this?" ”
Zhu Gaochi pondered for a moment and said, "Erchen is thinking, in these southwestern provinces, there are more people and less land, or there are fewer people and more land. ”
Zhu Di frowned: "What, this has something to do with hurting farmers?" ”
Zhu Gaochi smiled and said: "Naturally, it has a lot to do with it, father and emperor, if there are few people and more land, and the cultivators have their fields, then the relocation of the people is indeed a great injury to the peasants, and the fields in the two capitals and thirteen provinces are enough. ”
However, as far as Erchen knows, although Jiangxi has a lot of fields, the population is also very large, as for Yunnan and Guizhou and other provinces, the land is barren, and the people have no way to eat, and even in Fujian and Guangdong, there are more bold people, privately build sea boats, and go to sea to forage for food without authorization. If it weren't for the lack of food, why would the people risk killing their heads and leaving their homes? It can be seen that there is not much land in these provinces, but there are a lot of people, and the land is not fertile, which leads to this kind of chaos, since this is the case, the imperial court relocated the people, so that they can reclaim the wasteland in Dingnan, on the one hand, is to reduce the pressure on Yunnan, Guizhou, Fujian and Guangdong provinces, on the other hand, so that the fugitive can live in Siam, and the land they reclaimed in Siam will still have to pay grain to the imperial court in the future. It's just such a big thing, and it's understandable to make a little mess, but it's better to have a moment of pain than to indulge and run away from the house, so that the place is restless, so in the humble opinion of the son, the father's move, although there are temporary drawbacks, but it is a benefit for a thousand years, next year, the court may be more difficult, and in the next two years, I am afraid that I will have to grit my teeth to get through the past, but after three or five years, the wasteland has become a fertile land, isn't it good? ”
This Zhu Gaochi, after all, is not a good stubble, what he said was extremely decent, Zhu Di listened, his face softened: "Listening to you say this, there is no disease moaning in the place, your words, like Hao Fenglou, are insightful, I think about it carefully, but I also feel reasonable." In this case, this policy of moving the people must indeed continue, this disadvantage is there, especially the matter of fleeing households and displaced people, it is indeed not trivial, I take advantage of the health of the body, overcome thorns and thorns, and it can be regarded as making some merits for you and future generations, He Jianxing of the household department, there is a little appearance, it looks like he is indeed a capable official, the pressure he is under is not light, I should also order him to be the head of the household, and the province will let him temporarily replace the book, let him go up and down.
