Zhu Zaimo remained silent after hearing what Emperor Hongzhi said.
Wang Ao is the emperor's master, and Zhu Zaimo is the grandson of His Majesty. Even if there is a gap between the royal family and the ministers, as the grandson of the emperor, it is not appropriate to question Wang Ao face to face.
Fang Zhengqing was busy holding Zhu Zaimo's little hand, as if to comfort him.
Zhu Zaimo was calm.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed and stood up.
He slowly walked a few steps on the golden palace, but suddenly he gently put his hand on Fang Zhengqing's head and touched it: "Since I ascended to the throne, I thought that there is nothing in the world that is more majestic and spectacular than the Forbidden City. It was comfortable. Until I moved in here."
He paused again and again: "When I was young, I read the ancestral law of Taizu Emperor Gao word for word. I couldn't help admiring Emperor Gao. Emperor Gao was so tall that people couldn't look straight at him. Later generations Descendants and grandchildren will all rely on his horsemanship and the laws he established to bring peace to the world. Until today, the household registration policy has begun to deteriorate, and there are more and more hidden households."
"Today it's different from the past." Emperor Hongzhi sighed: "The world today is not the world of Emperor Taizu Gao, but why are we still practicing the old ways? I am no better than Taizu. Emperor Zugao is a wise man, but he knows that the world is full of ills. I have heard what Master Wang just said, but Master Wang If I don't get rid of the old and innovate today, are we going to let future generations do it?"
"Every generation has its own things to do. Today I seek innovation. Tomorrow, perhaps my innovation today will become the old law, and my descendants must change it. There is no eternal law in the world. This is human nature.¡±
He turned back and stared at Wang Ao with determination: "So no matter what, I have to give it a try. How will I know if I can't succeed if I don't try? Master Wang and the ministers, obviously some people don't think so, and are even worried and scared. , I am afraid that if I insist on going my own way and offend the world, why not?"
Emperor Hongzhi sat down and said: "If the old evils are not eliminated now, my children and grandchildren will have to shoulder this heavy burden; then, let me do it!"
He knocked on the slip: "I have made up my mind!"
Wang Ao and Wen Tao, Minister of Punishment, were heartbroken.
Wang Ao had no choice but to prostrate himself: "I will die, but now"
Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: "Xiao Jing, you have gone to Dingxing County!"
Wang Ao shuddered.
"Xiao Jing is not just a companion, he is also the owner of Dongchang. Don't you understand the implication of His Majesty's words?" This means that the factory guards are ready. If anyone violates the emperor's will, once there is unrest, they will be suppressed immediately!
"I'm afraid it will lead to a bloody disaster."
Wang Ao couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, what if what if the world becomes full of complaints because of this?"
Emperor Hongzhi Su Rong said: "The British Duke, the Duke of Wei, the Marquis of Pingxi, the Duke of Guizhou, the Duke of Ding, etc. have patrolled the camps!"
Wang Ao shuddered.
This is like eating a weight and becoming determined.
Wen Tao's face was as pale as paper and he couldn't help crying: "Has your Majesty ever thought about his posthumous name?"
Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while: "I am doing the right thing."
The palace fell into embarrassment.
Wang Ao and Wen Tao looked at each other. They knew what His Majesty was thinking.
at all costs.
Wang Ao frowned: "Even if it is a reform, everyone in the world believes that Ouyang Zhi in Dingxing County, Tuli Xishan Bank, aroused the resentment of the people. The reform is good, and the laws of the ancestors cannot be changed. It can be used In the name of reform, we are doing the opposite"
When Fang Jifan heard this, he was about to explode on the spot.
Originally, he had always been a bystander.
He doesn¡¯t like to be the protagonist, even though he is very handsome and has the unparalleled charisma of all protagonists, including wisdom and foresight.
But being the protagonist has to pay a price, so he has been watching.
But you actually insulted my disciple
Fang Jifan said eloquently: "What is profit? One loan, one loan, the price is clearly marked, it is a matter of no deception."
Wang Ao felt a little cold in his heart. He did not agree with the emperor, but he still had feelings for the emperor, so as long as his majesty was determined to make a desperate move, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow his majesty all the way to the end.
But when he heard what Fang Jifan said, he became furious: "In prefectures and counties, official roads are enough. Building roads is a heavy burden for the people. Think about how many people are still short of clothes in this world." With less food, how many people are hungry?"After I arrived in Dingxing County, I did find a lot of clues. Many gentry have made arrangements. They mobilized thousands of people and waited for to surround the county office early this morning. In order to prevent this, I If it doesn't happen, we have already deployed countless manpower to be on alert at any time."
"But who would have known that after the servants arranged it to be airtight, they were waiting for someone to come to stir up trouble, but in the end, the county government office was deserted, and nothing happened."
"Later, my servant learned that those people who were preparing to cause trouble were in large numbers and wanted to enter from various city gates in the county early in the morning. But when they arrived at the city gate, they heard thatthe county was recruiting workers"
Recruiting¡recruiting workers¡
"What kind of job are you looking for?" Wang Ao was confused.
"Recruiting workers to build roads." Xiao Jing thought Wang Ao was an idiot: "Could it be that the prince didn't know that Dingxing County has implemented a whipping law. Even the corvee work is directly converted into tax money. The government has money and is ready to build the road." Road, with so much money, it is natural to hire a lot of labor. At each city gate, the recruitment notices are posted and have people read them out at the city gates. Those who enter the county along the city gates in great numbers, I can't walk on the road anymore, even nine oxen can't pull me away, and the place where workers are being recruited is completely surrounded!"
""
"Serving as a corvee?" Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but asked.
"Now it's not called corvee service. To do corvee work, people are forced to do it. Now it's called recruiting workers!" Xiao Jingyan said firmly. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
