Chapter 587.
There was a lot of noise for many days.
There seems to be a growing trend.
Instead, at this time, the Eastern Palace was surprisingly quiet.
Zhu Gaoqi looked at the chaos in front of him and couldn’t help but sigh.
This is like a snowflake general mutual denunciation of the sangs, but also to teach him to inevitably send out feelings.
When he was young, he was taught by a lot of good teachers, and he always thought that what the readers were pursuing was the saintly reasoning, but it turned out that a mansion had made a mess of the world’s talents to this extent!
One by one, they searched their brains and quoted scripture just to justify going for their extra share of the property.
It’s really hilarious to teach.
But when it comes down to it, is it really funny?
Zhu Gaoqi was no longer the old Zhu Gaoqi, especially after this trip to Henan Buzhengji and Guanzhong, he began to think about things in a whole new way.
So after waiting a few days, it looked like it was going to be unlikeable.
The Prince finally issued an edict to quell the controversy.
Still according to the seniority of the grade to distinguish the size of the mansion, only, a grade for two acres, while the seventh grade for one acre and two minutes, the gap between each other, directly to the minimum.
This edict, although it may not be able to make all the hearts and minds of the people, but it is also largely able to accept.
In the midst of this, Zhang Anshi came to the East Palace almost daily.
Since childhood, Zhang Anshi is in this East Palace grew up in the middle of, on the grass and trees here are clear and incomparable, just more than twenty years past, after all, there is still a different flavor.
Zhu Gaoqi disposed of the cadres in his hands and sometimes conferred with Zhang Anshi.
However, one of the sangs caused Zhu Gaoqi to frown slightly.
Zhu Gaoqi was not the only son of Zhu Zhanji; his second son, Zhu Jun, was born to a concubine, and his third son, Zhu Zhanlong, was also born to Crown Princess Zhang.
These two sons, too, have reached adulthood, and as for the other minor sons, there are quite a few.
Zhang An-shi seldom dealt with Zhu Jun.
However, since the sister born of the third son of Zhu Zhanlong, this kid is also a restless Lord, weekdays, even their uncle Zhang Anshi dared to catch, but he is not, after all, the eldest son, so weekdays also by him, Zhang Anshi lazy to discipline.
Now many ministers have been petitioning the Crown Prince to make plans for his second son, Zhu Jun, and his third son, Zhu Zhanlong, to choose their fiefs.
Obviously, these sangs, by no means empty, the courtiers of the Ming Dynasty, are all people fine, one fine.
Now that the Crown Prince is completely in charge of the country and has begun to share his house to buy people’s hearts, doesn’t it show that the new Emperor is ready to ascend the throne?
According to the rules of Daming, once the new emperor ascended to the throne, then in addition to the future crown prince, the other imperial son, it is best to hurry to send to the clan as well, lest stay in the capital, the night is long and dreamy.
When Zhu Di, will be the king of Han to stay in the capital, made a lot of trouble, there is this warning, it is more need to hurry to send people away, out of sight, out of mind.
Moreover, even though it was just an ordinary petition, it was actually a risk, because the old emperor was still alive, and naturally, he had not yet crowned Zhu Jun and Zhu Zhanlong as kings, so he let his grandson go to the feudal land, so what is the meaning of this?
But it is a common knowledge that the more wind and waves, the more expensive the fish.
Such a zhang, to some extent, in fact, is also to the future Prince Zhu Zhanji close, this matter is taught Zhu Zhanji learned, will inevitably be on the zhang of the people favor, think these people are very knowledgable.
Naturally, these sonnets, obviously, have an element of speculation.
In Zhu Gaoqi’s opinion, naturally the matter is not urgent now.
But …… there is no hurry, whether it is Zhu Jun, or Zhu Zhanlong, are still his son, and it is inevitable that they will be sealed to the fiefdom in the future, as a father, to save for a rainy day, and to choose some good fiefdom for his son, how can there be no such selfishness?
So today, after Zhang Anshi came, Zhu Gaoqi handed this zhengshi to Zhang Anshi.
When he finished reading, Zhu Gaoqi said, “Anshi.”
“Eh ……”
“What do you think of this sangha?”
Zhang Anshi raised his head and said, “His Majesty is still here, this zhengshi is a bit evasive, I think, it is more appropriate to stay in the center and not send it out.”
Zhu Gaoqi laughed and said, “This palace is not talking about this, this palace is talking about …… the future ……”
Zhang Anshi comprehended Zhu Gaoqi’s meaning, so he said, “Now the Western clans, almost all have been divided by the kings. Whether it is Java or Annan, or True La, Luzon …… a little further, even the Tianzhu is beginning to be dyed, and now if you continue to divide, I am afraid that you will have to go further away.”
Zhu Gaoqi listened and pondered, he pondered and after a long time said; “There is no other good place to go?”
If it is even farther away, it might be ten thousand miles away, and when he thinks of this, Zhu Gaoqi can’t help but feel heartbroken.
Zhang Anshi smiled and said, “Actually, it’s not like there aren’t any good places, this place, far away from the sky, is close at hand.”
Zhu Gaoqi froze and only looked at Zhang Anshi fixedly.
Zhang Anshi said, “The Joseon State and the Japanese State ……”
When Zhu Gaoqi heard this, he frowned and said, “This is a country that is not conquered by Emperor Taizu Gao ……”
Zhang Anshi said, “It doesn’t say conquest, but just taking some land and teaching them to divide it up and build clans; it’s a big place and can accommodate many princes.”
Zhu Gaoqi said with misgivings, “I’m afraid that side won’t be willing to, if the court is to raise troops because of this, it’s really a bit wrong.”
Zhang Anshi thought for a moment and said, “Willing or not, it is not certain. Why don’t you leave it to me, I’ll take care of it, anyway, it’s still early, there’s no hurry, the King of Joseon and the King of Japan, they’ve always been docile, I think they’ll agree.”
Zhu Gaoqi mused, nodding his head despite his hesitation.
Obviously, both North Korea and Japan, from Daming, are considered a stone’s throw away, if the future, North Korea, and then build a railroad, it is even closer. And Japan, and Daming can be said to be across the sea, is not far away.
What’s more, the folk of these two places, mostly using Chinese characters, customs similar to Daming, which is the same as Annan, is indeed a good place to go.
If they can give a few pieces of land to their sons to build a clan, it is obvious that the future will be easier for Zhu Jun, Jun’s brothers than for their uncles and uncles.
Just …… Zhu Gaoqi is still worried that the other party is not willing to, if it is not willing, it is not good to move strong.
But Zhang Anshi said there is a way, Zhu Gaoqi always know Zhang Anshi’s ability, since he can say it, then let him try to see first.
After a pause, Zhu Gaoqi’s words turned to another matter, saying, “The matter of the feather guards, you have to grasp some, don’t look at his majesty’s hand now ignoring the imperial government, but staring at this place tightly.”
Zhang Anshi laughed and said, “His Majesty this time, I am afraid that this is only the last test for brother-in-law, this coming year, brother-in-law is the time to show His Majesty that brother-in-law’s wrist is by no means below the Taizu Gao Emperor and His Majesty ……”
“Nonsense.” Zhu Gaoqi glared at Zhang Anshi and rebuked, “How can this palace be compared to the Great Ancestor and Father!”
Zhang Anshi, however, said, “As a son or grandson, I dare not compare myself to him, and this is since filial piety. But from the perspective of Emperor Taizu Gao and His Majesty, especially now that His Majesty is already old, for him, the thing he would most like to see is his own children and grandchildren, being better than him.”
Zhang Anshi was also a little less scrupulous in front of his own brother-in-law, saying, “So this time, instead, shouldn’t be the time to hide, brother-in-law, it’s time to lay down some hard drugs.”
Zhu Gaoqi looked deeply at Zhang Anshi before saying, “Your copy of the charter, fetch this palace again to take a look.”
Zhang Anshi revealed a smile and said, “Send it tomorrow.”
Zhu Gaoqi then said, “Ai, I really did not expect that, in a flash, the father is old, this palace is not small in years, and you …… are also such a big.”
Zhang Anshi said, “Sister-in-law is good for nothing, how can you have such sentiments?”
Zhu Gaoqi said, “but just touching feelings, Anshi, when you were a child, how naughty ah, but now has become the right arm of the Palace.”
Zhang Anshi smiled.
But Zhu Gaoqi then began to worry again.
Because, as Zhang Anshi said, Zhang Anshi’s new constitution contains a strong medicine.
In addition to the next, the construction of the railroads began to be continued and increased, and in addition to this, the laying of the telegraph, which was also begun directly. Immediately after that, is a large number of local officials, for rotation. Either sent to the feudal towns, or recalled to the capital, replaced by a large number of local officials of the Department of Railroads.
Training courses for clerical officials need to be constructed in all places, and the recruited clerical officials, once they have become the backbone, will immediately undergo the training courses, and will then be promoted to more important positions.
Graduated from the University Hall or retired from the Model Battalion, they have been transferred to various prefectures and counties around the world to serve as civil and military officials.
Where the new policy had not yet been implemented, the land of the gentry was required to be no more than one hundred mu per household, and those exceeding that were forced to be sold at a cheap price, which would next set off a nationwide land clearing.
The waterways in every part of the world need to be desilted, and all the farmers who have been allotted land need to be organized, and the water resources need to be repaired.
Set up agricultural, medical, veterinary, water conservancy, land and education institutes in each county.
Establishment of a unified tax agency that reaches out to counties and townships.
Military households were completely abolished, boat-dwelling people were no longer recognized, a judicial university was established, and the training of specialized magistrates began.
Revision of the new code, adding the civil and commercial law in addition to the executive law.
Fight against water bandits and robbers.
This initiative, which is implemented immediately after its promulgation, is no longer the same as before, which is no longer a matter of hesitation.
Looking at this sprawling 100,000-word charter, Zhu Gaoqi was obviously cautious. He pondered for a long time, and there were many other details in it that he had already read countless times and thought deeply for a long, long time.
But today, when he lifted the vermilion pen, he still felt extraordinarily heavy.
It is said that to cure a chaotic world, you need strong medicine.
But now that the world is at peace, it is not to the point where it has to be carried out completely, even in this way now, the great rule of the world is enough.
And there are actually a lot of risks involved in directly administering such a strong drug, somehow.
This is almost a direct break with much of the inertia of the millennia, taking many groups that depended on the inertia of the past and completely decimating their livelihoods.
But after thinking for a moment, Zhu Gaoqi finally in this charter, drew a circle.
It was then handed over to the eunuch who accompanied it, and commanded, “Send it to the Minister of Ceremonies.”
The imperial decree was issued and immediately began to be distributed throughout the world through the postal service, and was published in the Diwan for several days.
The edict was read in the ministries’ halls.
In response to this edict, there were many more decrees that were sent to the various chambers.
And as for the naysayers and rumors, Zhu Gaoqi didn’t bother with them, he didn’t even bother to let the brocade guards poke around.
Only the factory guards were ordered to send out the Tee Riders, just in case of any mishaps.
The effect of such a change is clearly unprecedented.
At least in the capital, it was as if a meteorite had suddenly smashed down in a pond, and for a moment, it had stirred up a thousand waves.
Within the capital, some people wailed.
But Zhu Gaoqi ignored it.
He even pressure has not to see the Hanlin and the Royal Historian, only to summon a few university professors as well as the ministries of the Shangshu deliberation, finalized a thing, and then directly teach them to follow.
He wouldn’t bother to read it if it wasn’t a necessary sangha.
Rather, it is issued a copy of the edict out, very much a few times the meaning of the Qiankun dictatorship.
But even so, there were still quite a few things that came to his ears.
Wen Yuange University scholar said, Shanxi Taiyuan governor refused to accept the officials assigned by the court, but led the local officials sobbed and wrote a letter, requesting the crown prince to open up the road of speech …… and forced the lower head of the counties of the county people, etc., may not be sent to the court with the officials delivered to the county affairs.
Xie Jin looked up at Zhu Gaoqi as he reported.
Zhu Gaoqi only back hand, pacing a few steps, he is now more and more a little cool like Zhu Di, especially when thinking, the careless pacing, brow lightly frowning, face stony appearance.
Zhu Gaoqi finally stood down at this time and said, “This governor is called Chen Zhong, right?”
“Yes.”
“The Palace has a slight impression of him.”
Hu Guang said, “This person is considered a good official, the official reputation is good, is …… somewhat pedantic.”
Zhu Gaoqi said, “This palace has also heard of his reputation ……”
After a pause, Zhu Gaoqi then said, “Order the brocade guards to lay down a driving sticker and lock it up.”
He spoke softly.
Several university professors, however, were startled, and each looked at each other, they all saw the surprise in each other’s eyes, and obviously did not expect that it would be this serious.
So, Hu Guang reminded, “Your Royal Highness, he may just be confused for a moment, just need to issue an edict to reprimand ……”
Zhu Gaoqi faintly said: “the situation in Taiyuan Province, the Palace knows, these years, has been suffering from disaster, this person official reputation is really good, military and civilian people, although famine, starvation deaths, but not so much, at least more than the end of the Yuan Dynasty, when the ten rooms are nine empty to be better, and now also but a year 10,000 seven or eight thousand starving corpses, not to the point of the blood flow of the scullery … …”
After a moment’s pause, he then continued, “That’s why he has a good reputation, and many of the people, both military and civilian, have praised him as Qingtian. It is only because of this that he dares to do so.”
Hu Guang, on the other hand, bottomed out, “Yes, yes, this person is indeed …… sort of …… sort of ……”
Zhu Gaoqi said, “Sort of a green sky?”
“This ……”
Zhu Gaoqi said: “Qingtian still starve to death every year, the people do not cover their bodies, people have food color, on such a point, the people still want to praise him, see the evil of the old system, to what point. And those who uphold this old system, and how heartless. Things in the world, bad in these so-called ‘gentleman’ on the head, the Palace is counting on less of such a green sky, more than a few good talent. Now he this is to resist the edict disrespect, this is ten evil unforgivable crime ……”
Zhu Gaoqi said, cold smile, expressionless continued: “Not only to lock up this Chen Zhong, and his family, also lock up. The other government officials who listen to him, also one not to stay, all under the 瑭� prison for the crime. What this palace wants to punish today is these Qingtian.”
Zhu Gaoqi’s words were not spoken harshly, but they carried a chill.
So much so that even Jie Jin and others, are beginning to feel that the Prince, more and more people can not understand.
In the past, the gentle and modest crown prince now seems to have long disappeared.
“Your Highness.” Xie Jin frowned, seemed to feel that the punishment was still a bit heavy, so he said, “I’m only afraid that in that case, the military and civilians of Taiyuan Province ……”
Zhu Gaoqi but did not let him say further, interrupted: “Taiyuan Province of the people and the military, what today think, think what, is not this Palace is now to be concerned about things. The Palace to be concerned about, is how to teach this Taiyuan Province of the people and the people of the army when they can fill their stomachs, able to add one or two new clothes a year.”
Zhu Gaoqi scanned the crowd before continuing, “You guys, don’t always use propriety and righteousness to satisfy the military and civilian people, you might as well think about how you should feed them and teach them to wear warm clothes. Neglecting the starving people, not emphasizing practicality, but only thinking about the so-called name and morality, this palace would like to know, people are dead, what is the use of these?”
Zhu Gaoqi said later, his words carried a clear sense of mockery.
When Xie Jin heard this, he busily said, “I understand.”
Zhu Gaoqi put away the coldness on his face, and only then added: “When this Chen Zhong is escorted to the capital, he will immediately be punished for the crime of great disrespect and beheaded, and the rest of the people, etc., should not be lightly sentenced. And then there are such, also all follow this jurisprudence disposition.”
“Yes.”
Zhu Gaoqi then added: “Next, all those who act in defiance of the law, and those who ignore the imperial decree, should all be severely punished, so be it.”
The university scholars present, I do not know whether they were shocked by Zhu Gaoqi’s determination today, or they agreed with Zhu Gaoqi’s decision from the bottom of their hearts, at this time, they were almost silent.
Zhu Gaoqi, on the other hand, glanced at Zhang Anshi and said, “Minister Zhang seems to have something to say?”
Zhang Anshi said, “Your Highness, I want to report, but not the matter of Taiyuan Province, but the supervision of the Royal Historian Wang Wenhong has impeachment …….”
When Zhu Gaoqi heard the impeachment, he subconsciously frowned.
Then he said, “Impeach what and who?”
Zhang Anshi said, “Impeach Yingtianfu ……”
Zhu Gaoqi said, “What happened to Yingtianfu?”
Zhang Anshi then said:” about the construction of the city gate, the construction of the city gate, greatly conducive to the expansion of the capital, especially the west side of the city of the Feilinwei side, a large number of daily craftsmen and laborers need to go in and out of the results of the …… Yingtianfu to turn a blind eye to this, up to now, has not yet come up with a statute of the opening of the city gate out! ”
After a moment’s pause, Zhang Anshi vibrantly continued, “Such perfunctory and disregard for the people’s livelihood is really a crime deserving of death, so this Wang Royal Historian hopes that the imperial court will reprimand Yingtianfu and make immediate improvements, he visited several sections of the city wall close to the Fei Linwei, and he also put forward some suggestions about the new city gates……. please Your Highness the Crown Prince to look over them.”
Zhu Gaoqi: “……”
