Chapter 58
Zhang Youwen glanced at Hu Hanshan strangely, as the biggest profiter among the bureaucrats and gentry, how could he speak for the common people in the market.

It stands to reason that bureaucrats and gentry look down on ordinary people in Shangjing the most, and even many officials do not regard ordinary people as human beings.

There are only animals that produce food and tax the officials, and work hard for the rich life of bureaucrats, gentry, wives and concubines.

Zhang Youwen didn't say much, but continued: "The waterlogging is only one aspect, what's more serious is that the empty eaves and draped eaves are connected together, and there is no brick wall to separate them.

The thin canopy is dry, and as long as a house catches fire, it is easy to cause floods that spread to the whole street. "

When Zhang Youwen said this, he basically explained the stakes here.

However, these interests only concern the officials in the capital.

In addition, there is a side that is not conducive to the common people in the market. I guessed that Hu Hanshan, the eldest son of Prime Minister Zuo, would not care about it, so he didn't complain.

Hu Hanshan thought about it for a while and felt something was wrong. It was only beneficial to the officials. Emperor Hongwu obviously would not agree to repair the pipe trench: "Are there any other disadvantages?"

Zhang Youwen heard Hu Hanshan's initiative to ask, so he said everything: "The houses where the common people live are different from the bright courtyards where the officials live. They are all low and low, making the houses very dark.

There was a heavy burden on the outside of the house, and there was almost no light in the house.

The yin and qi are closed and depressed, the yang path is not smooth, and it is easy to get sick. "

Hu Hanshan knew in his heart that repairing the pipe ditch was a good thing to benefit the government and the people, and it was closely related to the people in the market, so Emperor Hongwu agreed to repair it.

It's just that more than half of the houses have been demolished, and even where the common people who have demolished all the houses go to live, why haven't the corresponding Daming treasures been allocated.

Hu Hanshan asked directly: "The case of Zhang Zhang, the people in the market have lost their homes, so the government doesn't care?"

Zhang Youwen couldn't help but slander, this is something that you bureaucrats and gentry should take care of, why do you ask him a little subordinate instead.

Zhang Youwen is worthy of being a capable official selected by Prime Minister Zuo Weiyong, and he has a clearer view of the official situation than many officials.

Zhang Youwen sighed: "If Your Majesty knows the situation here, he will definitely allocate the Daming treasure notes to resettle the common people.

But when it comes to these county government officials, especially those related to the common people, no Beijing official will care about them.

The Beijing official himself didn't know how he would report it to His Majesty today.

I'm afraid that the officials only wrote in the memorial to avoid water leakage and benefit the people and officials. "

Hu Hanshan was a little amazed by Zhang Youwen's officialdom, and he was a little disgusted by the officialdom.

Even if this matter is found out, the Beijing official who wrote the memorial not only did not commit the serious crime of deception, but still has meritorious service.

After all, the Beijing official said very clearly that he repaired the pipe ditch in order to avoid water leakage, and he did avoid water leakage.

As for the ordinary people in the market becoming refugees, that is something that should be under the jurisdiction of the Yingtian government office.

Beijing officials cannot exceed their powers.

Hu Hanshan scolded the Beijing official who was on the show in his heart, and there is no proper solution for the time being.

We can only follow Zhang Youwen and continue to inspect the Guangou area around the Dazhong Bridge.

Just as Hu Hanshan was walking towards the west of the Dazhong Bridge, Hu Weiyong came to the palace in an official sedan chair with satin and bat patterns, and walked into the Wenhua Hall, which is the hall.

Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of the left, is here, and the state affairs that need to be discussed today can begin.

Crown Prince Zhu Biao wore a crown and a dragon suit of 纁色苗, looked at several central ministers and said: "After so many years of war, there are still many widows and widows in Jinling as the capital."

"I don't know what good strategies you ministers have."

State policy and state affairs are dignified, but small matters about ordinary people are discussed.

Hu Weiyong and other important officials understood that this was the meaning of Emperor Hongwu, and only Emperor Hongwu in all dynasties would discuss such trivial matters as state affairs.

As long as it is something that Emperor Hongwu wants to do, no matter how big or small, Hu Weiyong will always do it with all his heart.

Hu Weiyong hesitated for a moment, and made a suggestion: "It's better to send them back to their respective clans, and let the clans take care of them."

Widows, widows, and loners are all old, weak, women, and children. It is definitely not good to send them to the frontier army to farm the fields, but it is a good way to send them back to the clan.

The Right Prime Minister Wang Guangyang agreed on this matter, and sending them back to their respective clans should be the most appropriate way.

But in the officialdom, there is never right or wrong, only the pros and cons involved.

Wang Guangyang knew that this was the most beneficial and appropriate method for the old, the weak, women and children, but he sternly refused: "No, which clan will raise relatives who can only eat but not work."

"One or two days is fine, but after a long time, who would give away food that is not enough for oneself to outsiders."

Hu Weiyong understood why Prime Minister You opposed his good strategy, and behind him was a civil servant in eastern Zhejiang.

Whether right or wrong, we must oppose Hu Weiyong and other Huaixi dignitaries. This is the way of civil servants in eastern Zhejiang.

No is against.

got used to it.

Hu Weiyong had already had a plan, and continued: "The clans all have clan fields, and these fields are the clan property shared by the clan. As long as His Majesty decrees to give memorial archways to those clans that value filial piety."

"The clan must be willing to support the widows and the lonely."

Wang Guangyang has also gotten used to it, every court meeting in the Wenhua Palace will never stop if there is no dispute.

Hu Weiyong had already given a better plan, but Wang Guangyang retorted with other facts: "Clan field? Do you know that it is used to obtain fame for the scholars in the clan."

"As long as there is one juren in the clan, it will be able to honor the ancestors and make the whole clan change from ordinary people to country gentry."

"Maybe some wealthy clans are willing to exchange loyalty and filial piety for an archway, but most clans in the world are still poor. How could they be willing to use the family land of scholars to support useless widows and lonely people?"

Behind Hu Weiyong, Huaixi nobles, behind Wang Guangyang, East Zhejiang civil servants.

They insisted on their own opinions, and started a court dispute as usual.

The prince Zhu Biao was kind-hearted, and he was caught in the middle, saying some good things from time to time, and mediating in the middle.

Emperor Hongwu sat on the dragon chair, watching with a calm expression the nobles of Huaixi and the civil servants of eastern Zhejiang arguing in the Wenhua Palace.

There is only widowhood and loneliness in my heart.

For the emperors of other dynasties, this is a trivial matter.

For Emperor Hongwu, it was a top priority.

Just because the widowed old man can't collect labor and pay taxes, we can't just watch the widowed old man starve to death and freeze to death.

Emperor Hongwu killed so many officials, but he hoped that none of the common people would starve to death or freeze to death under his rule.

After expelling the Tartars and restoring China, Emperor Hongwu had only one thought left in his life.

It is difficult to help the old with support, the young with education, and the poor with support.

In Jinling City, which is the capital city, widows, widows, widows and lonely people starved to death and froze to death, not to mention the whole world.

Widowhood and loneliness have always been a concern of Emperor Hongwu.
