Chapter 541.
People are generally not moved by the words of Hu Gong.
After all, people are used to it.
On the contrary, many people, though suspected of being scolded, could not help but hold their tongues.
It’s as if it’s not himself who is being scolded.
Zhang Anshi heard this, but came to interest, said: “In fact, Hu Gong said is good, although people have to talk about propriety, justice, integrity and shame, but people also have the side of the beast, as if …… the beast will be selfish, will guard their own prey, and will never let go of the mouth. This new policy is not so, to rule Yao Shun like the great rule of the world, it is necessary to let people have a field and land, if everyone has no place to stand, then how to talk about what peace of the world?”
Zhang Anshi paused, and I have to say that under the cultivation of Wen Yuange, Zhang Anshi has quite a few chancellor s temperament, at least …… on the surface.
“Now that the court wants a new government, many people have animalistic nature and refuse to spread their hands. Then …… the court will have to be more beastly than they are. They want to be beasts, the court will have to be fierce tigers and lions. So ah …… in the end, we do things, is nothing more than a, and reasonable people to reason, on this refuses to reason, then we have to hit hard.”
Hu Guang was momentarily dumbfounded.
Yang Rong glanced at Zhang Anshi in a different way and said, “Your Highness’ words are quite interesting.”
Zhang Anshi laughed, “Where, where, Lord Yang’s fallacious praise.”
Zhang Anshi paused, and then said: “Fangjie Xie Gong said the overseas things, overseas each year to the benefits of Daming, more than ten million, in fact, according to my opinion, the people have their own fields, although it is as difficult as heaven, but really want to have their own fields, the people of Daming so much, this person down, but only one person seven or eight acres of land only. Now is seven or eight acres, ten years later, the population growth, then three or four acres, a hundred years later?”
Zhang Anshi sighed: “We are the Wen Yuan Ge University doctor, not just to take care of the eyes, but the eyes always have to put the long term is, the so-called people do not have a long way to go, a hundred years later, even if the people are all the fields, based on the cultivation alone, but also can not feed the people of the world. Because of this, instead of letting the people of the world, all go farming farming, it is better …… to think of ways to redundant population, channeled to the city to work, which is also the new vigorously develop the significance of industry and commerce.”
“But such a large number of manpower, all the industry and commerce, may not be able to make the best use of people. You all should know how frightening the population growth is in times of peace and prosperity. Therefore, evacuating the people and moving them overseas is the top priority.”
“The sky is high and the sea is wide, why not teach the kings as a precursor, open up the frontier, and the people help the old and the young, and then settled, not only can be a feudal screen for my Ming land and sea, but also can make this overseas, can also feed millions of people? So ah, the root of the new policy, in the land, in the industrial and commercial, also in the feudal, these three, one cannot be missing, complement each other, is a hundred years for the country to set the plan, these three do a good job, then I am the foundation of ten thousand years of the Ming Dynasty, is not a rootless wood.”
Xie Jinyin nodded: “Your Highness these words, is really a good word of gold and jade, Wen Yuan Ge can do these three, I and so on this life will be enough to illuminate the world.”
Yang Rong sighed: “These three, old man is the most deeply touched.”
The crowd could not help but look at Yang Rong, even Zhang Anshi was quite surprised and could not help but say, “Lord Yang, why do you say that?”
So Yang Rong said: “I am from Fujian, in fact, for generations, the passage is also these three. Fujian is very mountainous, but land is scarce, people want to have land, so that they can support themselves, but at least without land, they have to be forced to go to business and labor. If they can’t even make a living through business and labor, they have no choice but to go overseas. Are these three principles mentioned by His Highness not the same as what the Fujianese are doing? Only, what Your Highness has proposed is the initiative of the court to create peace and foundations around these three issues. The people of Fujian, on the other hand, have no choice but to struggle for a living. More in the court and the government can not take care of their situation, have to be so for a living. The difficulties can be imagined.”
“But if the court takes the initiative to solve these problems, can give them land, give them land, if the land is meager, not to make a living, the government still promotes industry and commerce, so that they can make a profit, or even to the point that they are far away from the overseas, the court has been in the four seas, the establishment of a number of clans, so they do not have to be uprooted because of their personal and were bullied by the natives, but instead of the heart of the kings, this in the military and civilians of Fujian is really a regenerative parent. The heart of the kings, which in Fujian’s military and civilians, is really like regenerating parents.”
Hu Guang and Jin Youzi, both listened carefully, also can not help but feel a lot of emotion for it, they are in the abundance and affluence of jiangxi, obviously difficult to have Yang Rong’s feelings.
Xie Jin but smiled, although he is a Jiangxi people, favoring …… seems to be on the words of Yang Rong, understanding more in-depth.
Hu Guang raised his eyes to look at Xie Jin and said, “Why is Duke Xie laughing?”
Xie Jin sighed and said, “Do you really want to say it?”
Hu Guang said, “Duke Xie, we are chatting idly, what is there not to say?”
Xie Jin said, “Yang Gong’s words, but it makes me think, in Fujian …… is indeed easier to tempt people to go to sea.”
“……”
As he was talking, a eunuch suddenly came hurriedly, “Gentlemen, His Majesty has an invitation.”
When everyone heard, they all collected their thoughts, and did not feel surprised, but whenever His Majesty has something to do, he has to summon the Wen Yuan Pavilion university professors, and thus, they all got up and organized their clothes and crowns.
Thereupon, the ministers went in a line to meet the emperor.
Together, they went to the Man Building.
However, he saw Zhu Di sitting upright, and without waiting for the crowd to salute, Zhu Di said, “I really didn’t expect that there are still people with such audacity.”
The ministers looked at His Majesty’s face with hidden anger, all did not squeak, since they wanted to listen to Zhu Di’s latter words.
Zhu tensed his face and said, “This Raozhou, there are people who dare to attack the personnel of the Railway Division …… and dare to be evil.”
“Wicked?”
Zhu Di lowered his eyes and glanced at a zhengzhi on the imperial table in front of him, saying, “The ministers will see for themselves.”
Immediately, at Zhu Di’s signal, the eunuchs who accompanied the service, will be sent down to circulate this petition.
The people looked one by one, but it is the Raozhou province from the report, said the railroad division of the people, rampant lawlessness, triggered a dispute between the people, I implore his majesty to adjudicate.
The crowd looked at each other, all confused.
In fact, the occurrence of armed fights or any other fights among the people is, in everyone’s opinion, the most common and trivial matter.
To put it bluntly, in this Daming, between villages and villages, between clans and clans, between the soil guest, there are not a few large-scale fights every day, not because of a few people died, even dozens of people, this is called rare.
But this kind of thing, the court generally ignored, at most, when they finished fighting, the government asked them to hand over some people to deal with it is.
After all, most of these conflicts are deep-rooted, and some of them are even long-standing feuds from the Sui and Tang dynasties, which can’t be resolved by a few rogue officials.
After Hu Guang read the report, he fixed his mind and then said, “Your Majesty, I see …… here …… there doesn’t seem to be any …… ”
Zhu then lifted his finger to point at another sangha and said, “Then take a look at the sangha of the Railway Division’s Raozhou Station.”
So another sangha began to circulate.
Raozhou station of the report, is completely different, the head is not said to be ordinary people between the armed struggle, but simply by the local government secretly provoked, a large number of unscrupulous people, attacked the good people who defected to the railroad department, the railroad department rushed to mediate, encountered the attack, there are seven or eight civil officials were injured.
When Hu Guang saw this, his face changed slightly, and he remained still silent.
Zhang Anshi has jumped up and said, “Your Majesty this matter can not be left unanswered, it is right to immediately send officers, go to …… the end of a thorough investigation ……”
“First do not rush.” Said Zhu Di picked up another zhang rustic from the imperial table and slowly said, “This is the third zhang rustic, which was sent by Raozhou Prefecture on the back foot.”
When they saw the third sangha, everyone couldn’t help but be speechless by it.
Because things got out of hand.
After Raozhou House suffered a loss, immediately crossed the border Raozhou House, captured many people, hundreds of people, and even …… captured the Raozhou House co-counselor and judge people, etc. ……
The maesters looked at it, you looked at me, I looked at you.
If we say that the first two sangs are still just disputes, the public says that the public is justified, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is justified.
Then this third soprano is horrifying.
Directly arrest hundreds of people, but also involved in the court officials, this courage …… can not be small.
Zhang Anshi was still filled with righteous indignation just now, but now he was dumbfounded all of a sudden.
In good conscience, he wasn’t Zhao Gao, so he couldn’t talk nonsense with his eyes open.
Zhu Di’s eyes skimmed over their faces and said, “Don’t the ministers want to say something?”
“……”
Now, no one said anything.
Zhu Di swept another glance and finally landed on Zhang Anshi, saying, “Come, Minister Zhang will speak first.”
Zhang Anshi then said, “Your Majesty, I think …… this matter is really strange.”
Zhu Di said, “Whether it’s fishy or not, do I still need you to say it?”
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Anshi’s face, so he had to say, “How about, I go and dispose of it?”
Zhu nodded.
Zhu added, “Come, Secretary Hu, aren’t you usually quite articulate? You also come and say something.”
Zhu had long since seen Hu Guang’s expression of desire to speak.
Hu Guang said, “Your Majesty, I don’t know what kind of people …… are the clerks who were attacked and seriously injured ……”
Zhu’s eyes lifted slightly and said faintly, “For the first one ……”
He looked over to Yiluoha.
Yiluoha reminded from the side, “The one at the head, seems to be a mandarin. This person is also the most seriously injured, and I’m afraid that by now, he has already died from his injuries.”
Hu Guang: “……”
“Hu Qing ……,” Zhu said.
Hu Guang’s whole person was just violently hollowed out in general, staggering, heard Zhu Di’s call, could not help but shiver, casually said, “I …… am …… here.”
Zhu Di gave him a strange look and said, “What does Hu Qing have to say?”
Hu Guang red eyes, contemplated for a long time, before tiredly said: “This matter …… This matter is now inconclusive, right and wrong, everything is still to wait for a thorough investigation, and then material, I now …… really do not dare to speak rashly, your majesty forgive me! .”
Zhu Di hmmm, but coldly said, “Both so, then …… first wait for Zhang Qing thorough investigation of the results of it, the Secretary can retire, if there is another Raozhou news to, the General Secretary, as usual, first to send me the imperial inspection.”
The ministers were about to leave, and Zhu Di added: “Zhang Qing stays.”
After Xie Jin and the others excused themselves, Zhu Di stood up with his hands behind his back and couldn’t help but say, “What kind of trick is this for the imperial grandson?”
Zhang Anshi busy said, “Your Majesty, the royal grandson in Nanchang station it, this Raozhou out of the matter, I thought …….”
Zhu Di’s face gradually relaxed down some, said: “Caught people hundreds of people, also did not report beforehand, and then do it first …… It seems that they are spoiled by my grandson.”
Zhang Anshi said, “On the side of the Railroad Division, aren’t many people injured?”
Zhu Di sighed: “Other places, out of some things, I do not care, but the Division of Railroads any small thing, is a big thing, let alone …… or such up to heaven? I have spent so much silver, this home base are going to shell out to them.”
This was a bit sensitive, so Zhang Anshi said nothing again.
Zhu did not care, and said, “Fangcai Hu Guang, seems to have a different look, how, he has something at home?”
In fact, Zhang Anshi thought of it when he looked at Hu Guang’s expression just now, so he said, “Your Majesty, his son, he is an official at Raozhou Station.”
Zhu Di laughed and said, “There are many officials in Raozhou station, only a few people were injured, this Hu Qing is not too careful.”
Zhang Anshi hesitated and said, “But there is only one …… canonical official at the Raozhou station.”
Zhu froze, “What you mean is ……”
Zhu trailed off.
Zhang Anshi smiled bitterly, “Yes.”
Zhu Di was speechless for a moment.
The hall was indescribably awkward, and Zhang Anshi didn’t know what to do.
After half a day of wide-eyed staring, Zhu Di said: “Hu Qing is an honest man ah! To this point, also did not teach me to immediately lay off Rao State House up and down, still teach me to thoroughly investigate clearly say.”
Zhang Anshi nodded in agreement.
Zhu Di at this time is a turn of phrase said: “know why I leave you down?”
Zhang Anshi said, “It must be that I am about to go to Raozhou, and there are some things that His Majesty has yet to explain.”
“You got half of it right.” Zhu Di said, “It is I who will go to Raozhou with Qing.”
Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows violently and said, “Your Majesty …… this ……”
Zhu Di but do not intend to let Zhang Anshi will be after the words finished, immediately pressed his hand: “I paid the money, and now before and after, has been allocated seventy-eight million taels of silver, the next year in the spring, but also to allocate so much. You take my silver …… in Jiangxi good fast living, I should not know, I this silver, in the end where to spend? Of course, this is one of them.”
“The second …… is that this matter is not small, is right and wrong, are said to have a public opinion, but rather than public opinion, not as good as my eyes to see the truth.”
“I am old.” Zhu Di said his mantra: “good in, Raozhou station of the railroad has been through, both have been through, this Raozhou is seven or eight hundred miles away, but all the way to the railroad passes, I think, but only a day or two of work, along the way also do not need to turn, in the car that is, but also does not delay the work.”
Zhang Anshi knows Zhu Di’s nature, words have been said on this, persuasion is useless, then said: “Your Majesty is wise.”
“Then go get ready for one or two.”
Zhu commanded, and remembered something, so he was busy and said, “And ……”
Zhang Anshi said, “What else does Your Majesty command?”
“Call Hu Qingjia together as well.” Zhu frowned and sighed, “His son, should be hurt very badly, perhaps ……… let them father and son, see each other for the last time.”
Zhang Anshi also couldn’t help but sigh and said, “I will obey the decree.”
…………
When Zhang Anshi returned to Wen Yuan Pavilion, he did not see Hu Guang.
After inquiring, I realized that after Hu Guang silently returned to Wen Yuan Pavilion, he hid himself in the duty room.
Yang Rong and others and also strange, because some days ago, Hu Guang most love to mention the Division of Railroads, actually can also and Yang Rong and others talk about the length of the Division of Railroads, who expected today, the Division of Railroads to happen such a big event, he is instead all the way to silence.
Zhang Anshi did not say much to the others, but quietly went to Hu Guang’s duty room.
“Hu Gong ……”
Hu Guang took a deep breath and actually put on a few looks as if he had nothing to do, saying, “What is it?”
Zhang Anshi came in and said, “Lord Hu is busy?”
Hu Guang lowered his head, as if he was reading the zhengzhi extremely carefully, and only faintly responded, “Uh-huh.”
Zhang Anshi said, “I have a secret order ……”
Hu Guang had to stand up lazily and said, “I, Hu Guang, will listen to the decree …….”
Zhang Anshi said, “Make Wen Yuan Pavilion university scholar Hu Guang, immediately run with me to Raozhou, no mistake.”
As soon as Hu Guang heard the word …… Raozhou, his face changed slightly, but he was busy lowering his head, “Obey the decree.”
Zhang Anshi looked at Hu Guang, and his mood was also a bit lost all of a sudden, saying, “What else does Lord Hu have to say?”
Hu Guang said, “Your Majesty lightly left the palace and micro traveled to Raozhou, I thought it was very inappropriate Nine to Five …….”
Zhang Anshi said, “Forget it, Duke Hu, just pretend I didn’t ask.”
Hu Guang’s face was miserable and he suddenly sighed, but he drooped his head and didn’t say anything.
“Hu Gong do a preparation for it, of course, it’s only a few days work, no need to have too much preparation.”
Zhang Anshi said, and with another deep look at Hu Guang, he silently left Hu Guang’s duty room.
The trip was in the evening.
Zhang Anshi had already dispatched a steamer.
Thus, the party arrived at the station while it was still night.
Then, with the roar of this steam locomotive, it went on a wild ride.
The carriages were specially made, and the steam locomotives of this era were not only shaky but also noisy.
In order to ensure that passenger transportation so that people try to be comfortable, Zhang Anshi taught in the carriages of the roof, the four walls, all filled with cotton, and a layer of skin, the ground and then a layer of heavy carpet, people touch anything, to ensure that it is a soft material, and has a certain sound insulation effect.
Hu Guang’s first time in this kind of car, sitting in this carriage, showing fear and awe.
Apparently, however, he was more worried about what was happening at the end of the railroad, and, consequently, only sat with his soul lost, his head hung low, and he said not a word.
Zhang Anshi and him in the same carriage, see him did not say a word, heart also understand his mood, but also not good to say anything, then simply go to the other carriage, and also lost ha chat.
The carriage of Yiluoha is like a pantry, where, in addition to all the royal things of His Majesty’s entourage, it is here, ready at any time, to make hot water for His Majesty’s tea when the steam locomotive arrives at the station.
Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but say with emotion, “Your Excellency is really marvelous, I didn’t expect that serving people could be done in such a meticulous and meticulous manner, I wouldn’t be able to do such things.”
