Chapter 223 Temple Fair (1)
Liu Jin saw a wall in front of him, and a picture of words hung on it.
The handwritten by the late Grand Secretary Liu Sanwu, Liujin, can't tell the quality of calligraphy. Such a word is worth a thousand gold.
But compared with the value of calligraphy itself, the content of calligraphy is as heavy as Mount Tai.
"You are born in wealth and honor and grow up from a deep palace. The princes of the emperor must first restrain themselves. Whenever you wear a piece of clothing, you will be sympathetic to the silkworm wife. Whenever you eat, you will be savored by the farmer..."
"Admonishing the Emperor's Family", written by Emperor Taizong of Tang.
The reason why he was physically punished Liujin and asked him to look at the calligraphy and painting repeatedly in the Ganqing Palace was because at today's court meeting, he, the prince, was very unsanctified.
When the minister reported that the flood in Huaibei had improved, the road construction route had been drawn, and the construction began, the prince Liujin fell asleep on the gilded copper crane under the imperial steps!
If it were in later generations, this would not be a big deal.
What a child, blame him for doing!
But every era has different moral norms of each era, especially when they are born into an imperial family, they are not strict with him under the burden, which will not only harm him, but also harm the whole world.
Besides, what he carries is definitely different from what he is doing with an ordinary child.
"What does it mean?" Zhu Yunxiu said with a cold face.
"Return to Father, Emperor Taizong of Tang warned his sons that you grow up in the deep palace and enjoy the support of the people of the world, and you must strictly demand yourself. When you wear clothes, you must think about the hardships of women raising silkworms. When you eat, you must think about the hardships of farmers!" Liujin said loudly.
Zhu Yunxiu looked at him, "Why did Emperor Taizong of Tang say these words to his sons?"
"Tang Taizong was warning his sons to worry about the people and pity the world!" Liu Jin said loudly, "You cannot be arrogant, extravagant, lewd, and greedy for enjoyment, and you cannot be arrogant and disregard the lives and death of the people!"
"Yes!" Zhu Yunsheng nodded and said with a little satisfaction, "It's rare that you have this experience!"
"Return to Father!" Liu Jin turned his head, "This is a commandment for the emperor, and the bachelors have said it! The bachelors also said that water can carry a boat and can also overturn the boat. The people should be the first in the world. The king should know the difficulties of the people and govern the world with mercy and lenientness!"
Zhu Yunqi nodded with satisfaction, "What about besides being soft and generous?"
"There is also justice and fairness!" Liu Jin said without hesitation, "It's as if the ancestor said that the king wants to make the decision for the people of the world!"
"The little brat is smart, follow me!"
Zhu Yunxiu said in his heart, his face still stern, "Well, it's better, you have a good memory!" As he said, he frowned, "You must know the meaning of learning things. You can't just know the superficiality, and you can't be clever. Etiquette is even more careless. Let's spare you for today's matter!"
"My son thanks my father!"
"Come here and have some snacks!"
After Zhu Yunxiu finished speaking, Liujin ran to the table and picked up a piece of snack, "Father, please eat first!"
"You eat it!" Zhu Yunxiu's face was much softer, "Don't eat it too sweet..."
Before he finished speaking, Liujin opened his mouth and a chestnut cake was stuffed directly into it.
Raising a son must be strict.
This is the experience Zhu Yunyu himself summarized. In his previous life, whenever he made a mistake when he was a child, he would definitely be a good meal for a set meal of Seven Wolves. In his words, raising a son in poverty and raising a daughter in wealth will lead to a filial son under the stick. If he doesn't beat him, he will not be able to become a good person.
It’s nothing to be able to become a talent, but you must be a good person!
At this moment, the turtlema was reporting outside, "Your Majesty, Master Jie is here!"
"Enter!"
~~
Xie Jin entered the warm pavilion, "My minister Xie Jin bowed to the emperor, bowed to the crown prince, bowed to the eldest princess!"
Zhu Yunxiu didn't say anything and looked at Liujin.
The latter swallowed the pastry in his mouth, "Zhe Xueshi flat!" and waved his hand, "Come on, give him a seat to Zhe Xueshi!"
"I thank the Crown Prince!" Xie Jin thanked him, but did not get up.
Zhu Yunxiu said, "Flat, sit down!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liujin picked up another piece of dessert and turned his eyes, "That...... Master Jie has a piece? It's quite sweet!"
"This..." Xie Jin was stunned and his body stiffened.
Zhu Yunxiu was amused and cried, and scolded him with a stern face, "Don't interrupt!"
As he said that, he looked at Xie Jin, "What's your fault?"
"The memorial from Duke Cao and his uncle has arrived!" Xie Jin presented the memorial with both hands.
Zhu Yunxiu saw that Xie Jin seemed to be in a position to speak but stopped reading the two memorials, and asked, "What else is there?"
"Yeah..." Xie Jin paused, "There is a gentry in Xuzhou who sued the imperial envoy, Lord Xin!"
"ah?"
Zhu Yunxi was slightly surprised. Xin Yande was fully responsible for disaster relief in Huaibei and the imperial envoy who built the official road with work-for-relief. Who sued him? And he could reach the center directly. Which gentry had such great energy?
"The complaint was Zeng Bing, the former Minister of Justice, who retired and returned home due to illness in the 18th year of Hongwu!" Xie Jin whispered, "He was a Jinshi in the fourth year of Hongwu, and was the leader of Xuzhou's Shilin. He has a prestigious place in the local area!"
The Jinshi in the fourth year of Hongwu was the Jinshi in the Ming Dynasty when the imperial examination was held for the first time.
The rare figures in the court have a social status that are important among the people and even the governments rely on.
Zhu Yunxiu changed his position and sat slightly, leaned back slightly, and said, "What did he tell Xin Yande?"
"Forcibly occupy people's fields and beat people to death!" Xie Jin whispered, "The reason is about road construction!"
~~
The route of building the official road with work-for-relief was set up by the central government, starting from the Xuzhou Ancient Road.
Because there were too many civil servants mobilized, the construction began to be carried out separately at both ends.
When demarcating the route of Xuzhou official road, a section of the road happened to occupy the people's land.
It is not about occupying the land. This was originally a deserted ancient road, which belonged to the land that the people had reclaimed privately. However, the rules of the Ming Dynasty have always been like this, encouraging the people to open up land. When the people have opened up land and farmed, the government not only cannot pursue the matter, but also has to give rewards and land deeds to become the people's private property.
The imperial court had to occupy land for building roads, but the people were not happy.
The government said that compensation was given, but the people were not happy.
Here, we must first understand the meaning of the word "people".
If the owner of this land is a businessman, a craftsman, or a business from other industries, the government will take care of you so much, just lock it and ask questions.
But this is a farmer with fields, production and family, that is, the farmers among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce.
Besides, the old man’s great edict is still there, which official dares to oppress the people at will?
But he didn't want to enter the country and refused to build roads for the government. The brothers of that family were lying in the fields, trying to occupy my land and pressing over our bodies.
You suppress yours! I will die ours! Then we will meet in the Golden Palace of the Ming Dynasty!
The construction period is like fire and cannot be delayed. For this reason, it is almost impossible for people to delay the construction period. For every extra day, the food rations of tens of thousands of people are astronomical.
So, someone came up with a bad idea.
When the night was dark and windy, the night was quiet, a group of people rushed directly to the homes of the farmers, tied up the men, women, and young people, and helped them move with great care, turning their home into ruins.
These people were helpless. They thought they came to the capital to complain, but they were still watched and could not move anywhere.
When the Minister Zeng, who had retired and returned home, heard about this, he felt very righteous. He first went to the prefect's office to curse, and then went to the imperial envoy to ask for a meeting but was turned away.
In anger, he went to the center of the book and sued Xin Yande.
The logic of his complaint is very simple. I don’t care whether you, the imperial envoy, knows whether you know this or not. Anyway, you can’t get rid of it, so I will sue you!
It's very effective without logic, just to listen directly to God!
After listening to Xie Jin's story, Zhu Yunxiu frowned deeply.
"What is the resettlement plan given by Xuzhou Prefecture?"
Xie Jin replied, "Originally, it means buying their land at twice the market price. But those people..."
"Have you wanted more?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"It is said that one compensation is 10!" Xie Jin looked at Zhu Yunxi's face, "The lion opened his mouth!"
As he said that, he whispered, "In my opinion, the official road to be built is not one or two hundred miles, but runs across the north and south. In the future, there will be more and more such things. If everyone speaks loudly...?"
