    After hearing Fang Jifan¡¯s assurance.

    Emperor Hongzhi felt a little more at ease, and then smiled and said: "Even if they rebel, so what. If I can't even suppress the scholars, how can I govern the world?"

    So, continue to eat crabs with your head down.

    This crab is troublesome to eat, but it is full of flavor, especially the crab roe. Paired with warm rice wine, it will have an endless aftertaste.

    Emperor Hongzhi took two bites and then looked up at Mrs. Zhu.

    But seeing Zhu just standing aside quietly and not saying anything easily, Emperor Hongzhi said: "Come, sit down and talk to me."

    He has a little more respect for Zhu.

    This is an unusual woman.

    Mrs. Zhu did not delay because of her status and ethics, and sat down as she was told.

    Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu with great interest and said: "When I came to Nanjing, I spent most of my time in Xiaoling. I just walked around and saw the flowers, but I couldn't notice anything. I have been in Nanjing for a long time, did you know anything?"

    ??Obviously, Emperor Hongzhi had great trust in Zhu.

    Zhu said: "Your Majesty, I am just a housewife. I usually don't go out of the front door or open the second door. How can I have any knowledge? It's just if your Majesty asks, I will tell you everything I know."  "

    Emperor Hongzhi sighed at this time, and then said: "At Xiaoling, the common people have gone into the mountains to steal and hunt. They have been prohibited from doing so for many years. I have seen some common people who are ragged and hungry and cold. Hey looking at Ling  I can¡¯t sleep or eat well.¡±

    Emperor Hongzhi was indeed a good emperor, and he even thought far-reachingly about many things.  Compared with the gentry, Emperor Hongzhi was more worried about these poor people. Entering the Xiaoling Mausoleum was a mortal sin. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was treason. However, the people still flocked to it, which shows how far the laws and public sentiment of the court had reached.

    Zhu thought for a while and then said: "Your Majesty these people, to be honest, it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rebellious officials and traitors. But if you think about it carefully, you are forced by life. Xiaoling Mausoleum is the mausoleum of Emperor Taizu Gao.  , you have to be extremely careful to guard against it, this is the dragon vein. "

    Zhu paused and then said: "Your Majesty asked me, you must want to know why the people do this Your Majesty I have also heard a lot of rumors, not to mention other places, just Nanjing. This  It is true that there is singing and dancing in the city of Nanjing, but Your Majesty, besides Nanjing city, what about outside the city? I learned from the people in the mansion more than once that the refugees and the people could not survive, so they gathered together and turned into bandits.  I heard that some people, who are good people on weekdays, turned into water thieves and horse thieves at night. The Duke of Wei was ordered to suppress Nanjing, but the suppression was not very effective. When my concubine was young and married here, she was  Fortunately, these rumors only happen occasionally. By the time I and my grandchildren have grown up, such things will no longer be new at all. "

    As he spoke, Mrs. Zhu also sighed with a worried look.

    Finally hearing the truest truth, Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s frown deepened. Behind Jiangnan¡¯s calmness, there was something so terrifying.

    "In this way, the people who entered Xiaoling to steal and hunt were considered "good" people.

    "Zhu continued: "Some people once said that there are many southerners who are unruly and uncivilized."

    She glanced at Emperor Hongzhi, but then said: "But I don't know why the southerners are so unruly."

    Emperor Hongzhi shook his head and smiled bitterly.

    Fang Jifan, on the other hand, sucked the crab legs carefully and said: "Isn't this simple? Isn't it just a matter of poverty? Jiangnan is no better than other places. Other places are poor mountains and rivers. The people are poor, and the rich are not much better. This Jiangnan  It is a land of plenty, where people can weave silk and make porcelain. This rich family is smelly of wine and meat, but the road is frozen to death. This crazy poor man, with no clothes to cover his body and no food to eat, who saw the wine pool and meat forest in the rich family?  Are you willing? It's not that the southerners are unruly, it's that they are afraid of poverty. The poor have tricks, the rich have conscience, Your MajestyLook at me, I, there is no one in the world who doesn't say that I am good, but everyone who knows what I am is.  , there is no one who doesn¡¯t raise their thumbs up. It can be said that he is a household name and full of praise. But Erchen said very rudely, is Erchen really that good?"

    Fang Jifan spit out the crab shell and said seriously: "The reason is simply that my son's family has money. With money, naturally he is too lazy to compete with others for profit. With money, he can do some elegant things."  For example, my son loves reading the most and loves to read good books. He will never read those sleazy books about worldly affairs. I read the Tao Te Ching and the Spring and Autumn Annals for pleasure. I also like it.  He is willing to do charity and charity. When he sees the poor, he can't stand it. If he can't bear it, he can't see anyone poorer than his son. But what if he can't have enough to eat? He can still read the Tao Te Ching and the Spring and Autumn Annals, and he can still be kind and charitable.  ??¡±

    Emperor Hongzhi nodded. His Majesty was now different from the one who rarely left the palace a long time ago. He had rich experience and could understand the meaning of Fang Jifan's words: "That's it. So in the final analysis, this enlightenment  The Tao is to first cure the disease of poverty. If the disease is not cured, talking extravagantly about enlightenment and asking people to follow the example of inheriting a vassal, doing their best to share the worries of the court and not violating the laws and regulations, this is nothing more than trying to catch a fish by chance."

    Emperor Hongzhi cheered up and smiled: "Everything is difficult at the beginning. Now that you understand the crux, you just have to do your best. Successor You and I still need to stay here for a few days without proper arrangements.  Dear gentry, I can't sleep or eat well."

    Emperor Hongzhi¡¯s stay did not move to the palace in Nanjing, but directly settled in the Wei Guogong Mansion.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????.

    Fortunately His Majesty is surprisingly easy to feed. He doesn't like to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas. At first he only ate crabs. After that, he fell in love with fresh large yellow croaker and even became interested in oysters.

    And I have no interest in extravagant cooking methods and ostentation. I just like the taste of Jiangsu and Zhejiang people. I just add ginger and garlic and steam it.

    With the British Duke Zhang Mao in charge, the six ministries in Nanjing were trembling with fear. Liu Yi, the Minister of Household Affairs, was severely scolded in front of the imperial court, and then he received the order and took charge of the migration of the gentry.

    Of course, Liu Yi is in charge on the surface, but in fact, there will be some oral instructions coming out every now and then, how to move, how to arrange, how many soldiers to arrange, and how many ships to prepare.  His Majesty had prepared it in the line. All Liu Yi could do was to obey his orders.

    When it comes to migration, Fang Jifan is an expert. He had advanced experience in relocating his family. In this regard, Fang Jifan said that he was second in level, and no one in the world dared to say he was first.

    Countless gentry took their belongings with them, and under the protection of the guards and horses, they took down their luggage filled with cars and boarded the ship.

    The family members were crying, and the elders were holding the memorial tablets of their ancestors, with tears streaming down their clothes.

    Only the innocent children pointed at the big boat on the pier and exclaimed: "Boat, boat let's take the boat, let's take the boat"

    It is no surprise that at this time, there will be slaps like cattail leaf fans falling down, and the world will be pure.

    Zhou Tang looked haggard. He had not slept for many days and did not dare to close his eyes. As soon as he closed his eyes, he seemed to see his ancestors finding him, with angry faces on their faces.

    ¡°You¡¯re really an unworthy descendant.

    As for Luzon God knows where it is.

    The mountains are long and the rivers are far away. I am afraid that I will never be able to return to my hometown.

    Zhou Tangsheng's eyes were blurred, and after repeated urging from the soldiers, he boarded the ship with a slight trembling.

    The moment we boarded the ship, it was as if life suddenly lost its meaning and became boring.

    He stared blankly at the steady flow of people on the trestle. People who were about to board the ship were calling each other for their children, or some were crying.

    Zhou Tangsheng felt sad, Fang Jifanthat dog-like thing

    The ship gradually raised its sails.

    Slowly left the land.

    The ship swayed, and suddenly Zhou Tangsheng's heart seemed to twitch Then he saw a familiar figure on the trestle This person stood on the other side of the trestle, waving to the people on the boat.  .

    Zhou Tangsheng saw it clearly, and his heart skipped a beat, it was Fang Jifan, he really said Cao Cao, Cao Cao was here, this piece of shitthe weasel was giving New Year greetings to the chicken.

    ¡°But Fang Jifan¡¯s farewell to the people on the boat became increasingly blurry, and then in Zhou Tangsheng¡¯s eyes, even the land became farther and farther away, and finally began to disappear.

    At this moment

    Zhou Tangsheng suddenly wailed: "My child is unworthy, I can't keep the family property, my child is unworthy"

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡­ Zhou Tangsheng¡¯s screams followed the waves, and finally hid in the sea, and have been silent since then (Remember this site¡¯s website address: www.hlnovel.com
