I am the king of the dead

Chapter 672 The literati's cursive writing, right and wrong are black and white
"Then I'll just wait." Zhu Qiyu was full of expectations for the new treasure ship, and he was also full of expectations for the civil unrest.

"Crack!"

Zhu Qiyu looked out the window, the originally clear sky changed in just a short stick of incense.

The sky was gloomy and low, and dark clouds covered the entire sky. Occasionally, a flash of lightning illuminated the entire sky, and the sound of thunder and thunder suddenly reached my ears.

"Boom..."

After the thunder, the raindrops began to fall on the red bricks, blue tiles and white walls. Soon, the sound of the rain became heavier, and it fell into the stagnant water on the ground, creating blisters one by one.

"Jiangnan loves to rain, June day, baby face, change as soon as it changes." Zhu Qiyu closed the car window and talked about the weather.

He changed the subject and continued: "Yang Han and others are investigating the civil unrest, and the ground in Songjiang must cooperate. I have high expectations for them, and I hope they can give me a surprise."

"The ministers and others take the order." Many courtiers took the order.

With the development of the Shipping Department of Songjiang City, the city of Songjiang Prefecture is constantly expanding. There are nearly 200 million people living in private houses in and outside the city of Songjiang Prefecture alone. The city wall is gradually becoming less convenient as the city continues to expand. .

Many cities in the south have requests for the demolition of their city walls. Cities with a population of more than one million can have their walls removed. About 32 cities were the first to demolish their walls.

After Zhu Qiyu entered the city, he saw many construction sites under construction.

Zhu Qiyu came to live in Bieyuan on the bank of Huangpu River in Songjiang Prefecture. This Bieyuan has three sections of walls with different heights. The highest wall is nearly seven feet above. This irregular wall is full of artillery mortars.

After confirming His Majesty's itinerary, the cannons were placed on the mortars.

Outside the city wall is a moat about seven feet wide and more than two feet deep, which is watered by the Huangpu River. Outside the moat is a gentle slope. Anyone who climbs the gentle slope will be covered by artillery fire from the top of the city.

With such a fortress defended by well-trained cavalry, it would take at least [-] troops to break through a hard attack.

Zhu Qiyu came to Whampoa Bieyuan to repair, and Xing'an and Lu Zhong were conducting security investigations on the entire Bieyuan.

Xing'an saw a woman, to be precise, a strange woman who was too beautiful, apparently sent by Songjiang Prefecture according to the custom of Jinan Prefecture.

Jinan Mansion arranged for girls playing and singing by Daming Lake, and it was not surprising that Songjiang Mansion had such an arrangement.

Xing'an frowned slightly, he felt that this woman had practiced martial arts, her shoulders were slightly broad, her back was very straight, her fingers were slender, but they were quite powerful, especially her pair of extremely alert eyes that occasionally flashed a little light.

"Xing'an Dadang, did you find another woman to serve His Majesty?" Ran Siniang's angry voice sounded from behind Xing'an.

Your Majesty doesn't want to mess with flowers and grass, and someone will come to your door!

Ran Siniang took the Tai'an Palace united front order to prevent Yingying Yanyan from colluding with His Majesty.

"Xing'an Dadang, you are an envoy of flowers and birds, and it is my duty to find flowers for His Majesty, but at this moment, isn't it a bit indiscriminate?" Ran Siniang's tone was extremely bad, with anger. Twice teasing at most.

But even she, who is a woman, has noticed something unusual. It shouldn't be like this when Xing'an arranges a woman next to His Majesty at this time.

Xing'an moved two steps to stand in front of Ran Siniang, seemingly protecting the woman behind him, but in fact she was protecting Ran Siniang, the woman looked like a woman practicing martial arts.

Apart from what happened to Ran Siniang, Xing'an didn't have to do anything.

"Your lesson is that our family will send her out now." Xing'an responded with a smile, but his mind was on the person behind him.

"You...be careful!" Ran Siniang was still wondering about Xing'an's attitude today, when she saw the woman pull out her hairpin and insert it directly behind Xing'an.

Xing'an's sleeves flicked, and it was thrown back, a white mist engulfed the woman. The woman obviously didn't expect Xing'an's reaction speed to be so fast, she couldn't dodge in time, and was slapped all over her face.

She only felt pain in her eyes, and tears flowed down her eyes. Even if she opened them forcefully, her eyes were still blurred.

Xing'an kicked the woman's lower abdomen, and the two Tiqi held the woman down. The woman was about to grit her teeth, but Tiqi's big hands had already pinched the woman's cheeks, and a square scarf was stuffed into the woman's mouth .

Xing'an moved his hands and feet, put away the waist sword in his hand, bowed his head and said: "I disturbed the nobleman, but I hope the nobleman will forgive me."

"What did you sow?" Ran Siniang is a bold person, she was quite curious about what Xing'an sowed, and this woman couldn't see anything.

Xing'an smiled and said, "Lime, it's just a trick."

Ran Siniang was taken aback, this woman is obviously not Xing'an's opponent, but Xing'an is so ignorant of martial arts, such insidious tricks, she just made it up.

She said with a serious face: "Da Dang, don't look for flowers for Your Majesty while you are in Songjiang Mansion. If the Queen finds out, she will be reprimanded."

"Thank you for your reminder." Xing'an escorted the woman and planned to interrogate her, but halfway there, the woman's face turned red, and she spat out a mouthful of dark brown blood, soaking through the kerchief, leaving no trace of breath.

Before this woman entered this other garden, she took poison.

Xing'an secretly said it's a pity.

Ran Siniang went to look for His Majesty, originally she wanted to visit the Songjiang Mansion and visit famous doctors, but after this incident, Ran Siniang lost her mood.

In her eyes, this Songjiang mansion has become a dragon's pond and a tiger's den. She wished that His Majesty would leave as soon as possible.

Zhu Qiyu is holding a collection of essays in his hand, which is the fourth volume of "Yutang Congyu" written by Liu Guan, a top three Jinshi in the orthodox four years - Zhongjie.

Liu Guan was a Jinshi when he was young, and he stayed in the Hanlin Academy for ten years as a Wenlin Lang. After the Battle of the Capital, Yang Ding, the right servant of the household department, recommended Liu Guan as the household secretary. Liu Guan refused to become an official, causing illness return.

In this section of "Loyalty", Liu Guan included Fang Xiaoru, Chen Di, Jing Qing, Huang Guan, Lian An, Chen Xingshan, Huang Zicheng, Lu Yuanzhi, Gao Xunzhi, Lin You and others.

These are all civil officials of the Jianwen Dynasty who were executed or exiled by Zhu Di after Jing Nan.

Lin You returned home after Jing Nan and refused to become an official, Zhu Di ignored him.

Later, there were Japanese pirates in Jianghuai, and Lin You [Mianqi watched the soldiers, and the sons of Dujun suppressed Pingzhi]. The court thought that Lin You was going to rebel, so he was arrested and finally executed.

In the section of Liu Guan's loyalty, Lin Youping killed the pirates but died. Isn't this a big injustice?Isn't this the cruel and innocent Emperor Yongle?
Zhu Qiyu also specifically checked the files of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, and found that the reason for Lin You's death was killing a good man and taking meritorious deeds.

The Japanese pirates were only twenty, but Lin You reported a thousand head rewards.

Lin You's practice was common in the Jianwen Dynasty. After all, Li Jinglong dared to lie about killing [-] enemies as killing [-] enemies, but Zhu Di, who was about to conquer the world, had extremely strict scrutiny of military achievements, so Lin You was found out.

Selective recording, Lin You became a loyal person.

In Zhu Qiyu's view, except for Jing Qing, the rest of the people are not loyal. Their loyalty to Emperor Jianwen is less than the potato chips in Lay's potato chips.

There are countless records of this kind. For example, it is written that all men and women are dressed in knots and do not cover up, and the stoves are dumped.
For example, it is written: In the counties and counties of Zhejiang, there used to be jujube mulberry, which has been cut down in recent years. The mulberry jujube is the livelihood of the people.

Zhu Qiyu also looked through Daming's old files, and found that there were also records in the official files.

In the third year of Yongle, Zhejiang merchants pursued profits, weaving all kinds of mulberry from farmland into silk.

Planting mulberry trees to raise silkworms, weaving silk, and earning more money, shouldn’t life be better?

However, there is not enough food in Duofu Prefecture of Zhejiang Province, and the price of rice in Zhejiang is three times a day. Cutting away, changed to rice.

In the four years of Yongle, changing mulberry to rice became one of Yongle's tyranny.

If Zhu Qiyu only read Liu Guan's "Yutang Congyu", he would naturally not understand the cause and effect.

There is indeed such a thing, the specific cause and effect, but it is not mentioned at all.

Sure enough, it is a literati's pen, right and wrong are reversed in black and white.

The reason why Zhu Qiyu read this "Yutang Congyu" was to read about the civil unrest in the Jianwen and Yongle years, after all, there was a civil unrest in Songjiang Mansion just now.

Liu Guan sorted out historical materials and recorded a total of 22 civil disturbances from the first year of Yongle to the 25nd year of Yongle.

Among them, the biggest disturbance was the Tang Saier uprising in Yongle in 18 years.

Tang Sai'er used the red and white flags as his name, gathered tens of thousands of congregants, and robbed and killed them. Finally, Zhu Di sent [-] Beijing battalions to wipe them out and put them down.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Tang Sai'er's tens of thousands of people, and then at Ye Zongliu and Deng Mao's seven civil uprisings.

The Deng Maoqi civil uprising that began in the 13th year of Zhengtong involved more than [-] prefectures in five provinces, and Deng Maoqi had millions of people under his command.

Tang Sai'er was not enough to look at in front of Ye Zongliu and Deng Maoqi.

Civil upheavals and civil disturbances were normal phenomena in the feudal dynasties of the past dynasties. Based on the statistics reported to the imperial court, it was once a year on average in the Yongle period, two to three times a year in the Zhengtong period, and eight civil disturbances were reported to the court in the Jingtai period. .

If you really want to talk about the civil unrest in Zhida Tianting, the Qing Dynasty is the well-deserved number one.

During the 16 years from the 75th year of Daoguang to the third year of Xuantong, there were as many as 5387 civil disturbances in the Qing Dynasty directly reaching Tianting, an average of 72 times per year.

This is just a direct hearing, and those that have not been recorded have disappeared into the long river of history.

The root cause of civil unrest is the wandering people, idlers, and translators are flexible workers.

They have no land to cultivate, no skills, and no means of production. They work part-time in the landlord's house and are refugees with no fixed income. This is the root cause of the outbreak of civil unrest.

Under the Winter Preface, the number of wandering people suddenly increased, which brought great troubles to the Tiqi who were investigating the case.

Zhu Qiyu leaned on the soft rattan chair, rubbed his head with a slight headache, put a pair of catkins on his shoulders, and pressed them gently.

"The vagrants are not guilty. They are just displaced. They may have been farmers before. A few acres of Susukina land were lost due to natural disasters and man-made disasters. They can only live on short-term labor. These people are the most vulnerable to people's demagogues. Three or two buckets of rice are enough for them I'm desperate, it's difficult." Zhu Qiyu said quietly.

Ran Siniang didn't understand state affairs, so she gave Zhu Qiyu broad shoulders in silence, hoping that her husband could relax a bit.

From Ran Siniang's point of view, His Majesty has done an excellent job, but the world's affairs are just like this, so there are so many things going well.

Your Majesty is only a human being, not a god. How can there be so much divine power to protect all the people in the world?
Going to the temple to offer incense is not a dream come true.

"Your Majesty, please see Yu Shaobao." Xing'an came in and bowed his head.

"Xuan."

Before Yu Qian came in, Xing'an briefly talked about the murder case that happened in the corridor just now.

Zhu Qiyu smiled, held Ran Siniang's hand and said: "The journey was tiring, Si Niang went down to rest first, and Yu Shaobao and I have something to talk about."

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much." Ran Siniang looked reluctant, but since His Majesty wanted to discuss state affairs with Yu Shaobao, she had no choice but to step back.

"I see Your Majesty, Your Majesty is safe." Yu Qian saluted.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said, "Sit."

"I thought that at the beginning of this civil upheaval, the misfortune lies with the wandering people. I don't know what Shaobao thinks?"

Zhu Qiyu straight to the point expressed his concerns.

"The farm law can solve your majesty's worries." Yu Qian said without hesitation: "These wandering people are originally peasant households. The farm law is going to be implemented in the southern provinces, so they can be included in the farm law, and the households are organized."

"If you have a skill, you can be included in the official factory as an apprentice."

"Of course it needs to be carefully examined. If there is a crime, it can be sent to a chicken coop for logging."

Zhu Qiyu felt a little relieved, and said with a smile: "What Yu Shaobao said is very true."

The farm law was to be implemented on a large scale in the southern prefectures of the Ming Dynasty, and the method of implementation was still mainly voluntary.

The largest landowner in Ming Dynasty was the imperial court, and there were many official lands in Ming Dynasty. These official lands used to be honored and supported by vassal kings from all over the country, and were managed by a secretary. Since Zhu Qiyu invited the vassal kings back to the capital, these official lands have become the start-up land of the farm law.

Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian had in-depth exchanges on the implementation of the farm law. The two sides fully exchanged opinions. Based on the basic concept of sustainable fishing, the two sides expounded different views and positions.

It can't be said that they had a happy conversation, it can only be said that they were tit for tat.

The dispute between Zhu Qiyu and Yu Qian mainly focused on how to deal with the embarrassment of the big landowners' refusal to enter the farm law, which led to the farm without land.

Zhu Qiyu's opinion was naturally unwilling to be voluntary, so he persuaded, but still refused to listen to the persuasion, the big landlord could only be voluntarily destroyed and unable to pay the charity money.

Isn't it voluntary to be voluntary?

Everyone in Ming Dynasty, including the emperor, had to pay the price for the transformation of the small peasant economy.

But Yu Qian has a strong objection to this. He hopes that His Majesty can practice the way of mercy and entrust this matter to him. If he can't do it well, His Majesty will let them be voluntary.

In fact, Yu Qian is not very good at getting big landlords to volunteer, but there is someone who is good at it, and that is Fei Yiying.

During this period of time, Yu Qian and Fei Yiying conducted a comprehensive review of the farm law. Fei Yiying understood the mentality of these wealthy families too well, and Yu Qian was confident that most of the landowners would voluntarily join the farm.

For the really stubborn landlords, Yu Qian also thinks that as long as there are three to five years, they will join in by themselves.

Conformity is a human instinct.

After all, with so much land, they can't grow it themselves. As long as the farm law can put people, the main body of labor, in good order, everything will not be a problem.

Qiu Jun was the No. [-] scholar in Jingtai for five years. He was dreaming of a great harmony in the Imperial Academy. He proposed the most basic theory of labor value, that is, labor creates value, and everything is possible only when there are people.

Zhu Qiyu sneered and said: "Then I will give Yu Shaobao three years. I have given them a chance. I hope they will be decent."

"Is it so difficult to investigate the civil unrest at the Songjiang Shipyard? It's been more than ten days, is there any clue?"

Yu Qian also frowned and said: "Your Majesty, I have seen several companies, but I always feel that a key person is missing to connect these people together. If someone hadn't connected them together to form a joint force, this would not have happened. Difficult to check."

Yang Han has been investigating for more than ten days, but there are very few clues. It can be seen that this time, the enemy came prepared.

"Key person?" Zhu Qiyu tapped his fingers casually on the table.

　Ask for a monthly ticket, woohoo! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
