Daming heir

Chapter 480 Use whoever can feed the people

Inside the sweet potato field, the level of the topic suddenly changed.

As the second assistant of the current cabinet, Xie Jin, together with other cabinet ministers, is in charge of major political affairs.

Asked here today, the audience fell silent.

No one can answer this question.

They collapsed from exhaustion after just digging sweet potatoes for half a day.

If it is like this every day, even the proud sons of these countries will find it difficult to maintain their former pride. Under this problem, they still have their arrogant heads.

Xie Jin waved his hand, and carried the basket full of sweet potatoes with the old farmer to the ridge beside the sweet potato field.

Then Xie Jin patted his buttocks and sat on the floor.

The supervisors consciously approached Xie Jin's position.

When people gather almost.

Xie Jin looked at these officials at all levels of government offices in the future of the Ming Dynasty: "Digging sweet potatoes is the lesson taught by my officials today. Now I know why I do this?"

Clear doubts appeared in the eyes of the supervisors.

The answer to this question seems to be blurted out, but when it comes to his mouth, he dare not confirm it.

"Mr. thinks that farming and mulberry are more important to the country than Mount Tai."

"The application of the country and the dynasty is all above the farming and mulberry. Without the farming and mulberry, the people are hungry, and the court can hardly pay taxes. Sir, this is the reason."

"Sir, the students think..."

"..."

Finally, after a while, the supervisors began to tentatively answer.

From the titles of these Jianshengmen, it can be seen that they are basically students of Xinxue.In the Guozijian, only these mind-learned supervisors would be commensurate with Mr. Xie Jinyi.

However, some people are disdainful.

There are billions of people in the world, and there must be someone who wants to farm and engage in farming and mulberry all year round.Naturally, there are also people who should just sit back and enjoy what they get, and they can get things that ordinary people can't enjoy in a lifetime without doing anything about agriculture and mulberry.

Xie Jin nodded and shook his head, but there was a gratified smile on his face: "Although you haven't counted enough, you have all said some.

Talking about farming and sang with you today, it is better to say that I am telling you about my Daming Sheji.

What exactly is Nongsang? "

Xie Jin paused, his gaze swept over the faces of these young people in front of him.

Not far away, Zhu Yunxi was smiling. Today's lesson may not be effective for everyone, but he believes that at least some of these supervising students who have not been involved in the world will be able to understand the joints in it. Sometime in the future When I was an official for a day, I could still remember today's lesson.

Xie Jin didn't stop for long, and said, "Nongsang is Sheji! Nongsang is Daming! If there is no Nongsang, there will be no Ming!"

The voices of the cabinet ministers of the Wenyuan Pavilion of the Great Ming Dynasty and the academicians of the Imperial Academy were transmitted under the vast and empty Zhongshan Mountain, and entered everyone's ears.

This is the first time Daming publicly stated that Nongsang is Daming's community.

Even before the reunion, people thought so in their hearts, but when it was said from the mouths of the current cabinet ministers, it was another attitude.

Xie Jin's face was solemn: "My ancestors of the Central Plains were born in the vastness of the prehistoric, standing among thousands of races, with no clothes to cover our bodies, no food to eat, no fixed place to live, and the fire of heaven and earth to give birth to all things.

The things of Mu Cangye have experienced the Three Emperors and Five Emperors, and even Xia Yu and Shang Tang.

The people have no food, the country is unstable, the victory will be chaotic, and the world will be in turmoil.

Hanwenjing, warehouse and truth, is as strong as Hanwu.

Only when the Sui people ruled the country did they have the confidence to dig a big river.

In the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the emperor was close to the farmers, and the emperor worked hard, so there was the Wuzhou Dynasty, and there could be another Kaiyuan prosperity.

The people have nothing to ask for, but only clothes to wear, a belly full, and a place to live.

If there is food in a village, there will be no chaos in the village.If there is food in a county, there will be no thieves in a county.If there is food in a government, there will be no robbery in the land of a government.If there is food in one path, there will be no rebellion in this path.

Today, you are students of the Imperial College, and you study in the classrooms. You don't know farming and mulberry, and you don't know when to plow and when to harvest.In the future, you will be the shepherd of the country, why should you be an official? "

Xie Jin's class still started.

In the sweet potato field, not only the superintendents were listening attentively, but also the teachers and officials of the Shanglinyuan Supervisor were also listening quietly. Zou Xueyu and other Yingtianfu officials who came not far away also pondered, thinking about Xie Jin's words .

People began to silently look at the emperor's grandson who was not far away.

Mr. Xie Ge was chosen by the emperor's grandson at the beginning, and it was also the grandson who pushed him to the position of cabinet minister step by step. No one in the court did not know this.

Xie Jin's remarks at this moment, in a sense, are the will of the grandson.

People saw that Jin was teaching, but they also saw that this was the will of the emperor to convey the future of Ming Dynasty.

Xie Jin coughed lightly, grabbed the dirt at his feet, slowly lifted it up, and then let go of his palm, and the dirt drifted down through the cracks between his fingers.

He smiled and shook his head: "A sage's article can govern the country, and half of the Analects can rule the world. The words here have been circulated by the world for many years. I have never thought it unreasonable, but how the world interprets it is another matter.

How can half of the Analects rule the world?
The official is older, you can wait for a few years, or you can say something.

This statement is not bluntly saying that one can govern the vast world and the common people by learning the articles of sages, but to cultivate oneself with the articles of sages. Confucius said benevolence, why is benevolence?Love He Renai?

The imperial court evaluates officials based on whether there is turmoil in the local area. If there is no chaos, the evaluation will be excellent. If there is a little political achievement, it will be the top evaluation.More to quell the turmoil as the top comment.

This official believes that this comment will never be repeated in the future.

The current officials of the court, and when you become officials in the future, you should judge by the surplus grain in the local people's warehouses.

There is food in the people's warehouses, and there will be no refugees, no refugees, and no disorderly people.If there are no rioting people, how can there be turmoil?
The common people in a place have new clothes every year, and they can have a full stomach every day, so they can comment on the above. "

In the distance, Zou Xueyu, the magistrate of Yingtian, moved his eyes slightly.

Xie Jin spoke for a long time, but being able to sit in the seat of Yingtian Zhifu where the capital of the Ming Dynasty was located, Zou Xueyu knew very well what the meaning behind these words was.

The Tongzhi of Yingtian Mansion who was beside him said in a low voice: "Master Fu, it seems that the imperial court is going to change the method of evaluating officials in the future. Among them, it probably has something to do with the fact that King Qin presided over the foreign inspection this year."

Zou Xueyu hummed: "This year, the waterway connecting Xuanwu Lake will be built, the Shangyuanmen Wharf will be built, and taxes will be collected. Next year, our Yingtianfu business will be Nongsang!"

The Tongzhi immediately whispered: "The next few days, the official will sort out the farming and mulberry issue in our prefecture next year."

Zou Xueyu glanced at his fellow acquaintances with satisfaction: "Yingtian has eight counties in one prefecture. Next year, waterways will be cleared, new canals will be dug, wasteland will be reclaimed, and saline-alkali land will be reclaimed. In the future, you and I will often come to Shanglinyuan Supervisor. Those new seeds, This government must be the first to plant it!"

Tongzhi nodded again and again, after that, everyone in the government office also kept the words of the government official in their hearts.

These are all things that Yingtian Mansion will do in the coming year, just like this year is almost a whole year, the whole government office is busy digging a canal to connect Xuanwu Lake, and building the Shangyuanmen Wharf.

After the wharf is repaired, the current Longwan Wharf will be simplified as a dedicated wharf for the imperial court, and the Shangyuanmen Wharf will become a place used by ordinary people and merchants.

This place can be held in Ying Tianfu's hands, and Ying Tianfu can charge a lot of money for ships to dock and store goods.

Then use this as a source of income to support the people in the eight counties of Yingtianyi Prefecture. This conclusion has long been agreed in the government office.

The people of Yingtian Mansion are discussing the affairs of the mansion.

On the ground, Xie Jin continued to teach.

"When you become an official in the future, you should bear in mind who is your political achievement and who is your political enemy."

Suddenly, Xie Jin's words became sharp.

Political achievements and political enemies, so straightforwardly stated from the mouth of the cabinet minister, caused a sensation among the supervisors.

Even those supervising students who originally scoffed at today's class could not help showing curiosity and surprise at this moment.

How dare Xie Hanlin speak so blatantly?

Can this be said in front of the grandson?

Xie Hanlin seems to be saying, you have to remember how to get promoted and get rich in the future.

And getting promoted and getting rich is naturally what everyone present is looking forward to.

But Zhu Yunxi, who was at the side, had a strong smile in his eyes.

If it wasn't for maintaining his image in front of these supervisors, he would have laughed out loud.

Xie Jin clapped his hands and said bluntly: "In the future, if you are officials, the people there will be your political achievements. The people will be rich, have a good harvest every year, and there will be no hunger and chaos. This will be your political achievements.

Other than that, they are all your political enemies when you become an official in the future!

Merchants will evade business taxes, gentry will evade taxes, wealthy families will bribe you, etc.

Merchants avoid taxes, and local taxes such as Er are insufficient.The gentry annexed the common people, causing chaos among the common people.The wealthy clan wins over you and others, disregarding human life.

The imperial court may not observe for a day, but it is absolutely impossible to never observe. "

In the sweet potato field, some people showed sober eyes, but others showed disappointed expressions.

And these people couldn't help slandering again in their hearts.

Become your own political enemy?
However, the imperial court is really ruthless when it treats officials who are corrupt and dereliction of duty.

How many officials have been investigated and punished by the imperial court over the years.

None of the supervisors in Yingtian didn't know.

Seeing that Xie Jin had come to the end of what he said today, Zhu Yunxi coughed lightly, and waved to Zou Xueyu who was not far away: "That is the prefect of Yingtianfu today."

Zou Xueyu, who was suddenly named by his grandson, suddenly became nervous.

Afterwards, everyone's eyes turned over, and Zou Xueyu became more and more uneasy.

I just came to watch the fun, so why was I called by name?

Even the officials of Yingtian Mansion who were with Zou Xueyu all bowed their heads.

Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth and introduced: "Zou Xueyu, the magistrate of Yingtian, has been an official for three years. If Gu remembers correctly, three years ago he was just a student like you.

Later, he became an official in the imperial examination, but he was a Jinshi on the two lists, and he went south to Jiaozhi to be an official.

After being an official for three years, people's livelihood in the area under his jurisdiction is stable, and taxes are increasing every year. "

Zou Xueyu is not very old, but he has never passed the exam several times in the past.

And when Zhu Yunxi introduced his identity and past clearly, the supervisors present were all surprised.

After only being an official for a few years, he has reached the prefect of Yingtian.

If it goes up further, it is probably the position of the servant of the six departments.

If it is released to the outside world, it must be the third minister in charge.

Zhu Yunxi laughed and said, "I don't talk much to you, only one sentence."

His words are naturally more eye-catching than Xie Jin's.

Cabinet minister Gao Chunfeng is already a legend in the court today.

Ever since Gao Yangzhi joined the cabinet, he has become the most discussed and admired person in the Imperial College.

Who doesn't want to be a great Ming Gao Chunfeng?

But now the supervisors found out that there was not only Gao Chunfeng, but also Zou Xueyu in Daming.

Zhu Yunxi said softly: "Whoever can feed my people in Ming Dynasty will be employed alone, regardless of the six ministries or the cabinet!"

This is a matter of distribution and balance of interests.

"dinner's ready!"

"dinner's ready!"

When the supervisors began to think about becoming officials in the future, a group of people came from the supervisor's office in Shanglinyuan, carrying steaming vats.

When someone rushed over, a smell of food wafted out.

Zhu Yunxi retreated silently into the distance.

Xie Jin stood up and said with a smile: "Let's all go eat, and continue digging sweet potatoes after eating. You can't give up halfway. I will stay here with you today."

As he spoke, Xie Jin walked to a large bucket on his own, lifted the lid, and a cloud of hot air dispersed.

He had already taken out two baked soft sweet potatoes from the bucket, and handed one out to Zhu Yunxi.

Yuan Sutai and other people in Shanglin Yuanjian shared another wooden barrel.

As for Zou Xueyu and others who came by accident, they moved over curiously.

The supervisors had been busy for a long time, and they were already hungry at this time. Seeing that the grandson, elder Ge, and young master had all eaten, they immediately surrounded the remaining wooden barrels.

"It's all sweet potatoes?"

The supervisors who came around found that there were only sweet potatoes in the wooden barrel, and there was nothing else to eat, so they hesitated.

It's just that there are always people who can't help being hungry. After taking the sweet potatoes, they go to the side and eat them in big mouthfuls.

In the air, the aroma of sweet potatoes became more and more intense.

Those superintendents who were still a little uncertain finally couldn't help it, and could only choose to eat a casual meal to fill their stomachs.

"Why is it so delicious?"

"Slow down, leave me another one!"

"Don't grab it, don't grab it, give it to me."

"..."

Either because of hunger, or because what I ate was the sweet potato dug out today.

Every prison student who ate the sweet potatoes began to shine with their tired eyes.

"Knowing the difficulties of agriculture and mulberry is just the beginning. No matter how much the truth is said, it can't stop the money from moving people's hearts."

After gnawing a whole sweet potato clean, and secretly eating a few mouthfuls of the burnt sweet potato skin, Zhu Yunxi whispered to Xie Jin beside him.

Xie Jin looked sideways.

Zhu Yunxi continued: "Second Uncle is currently presiding over the external inspection. What I mean is that if Jin Yiwei is to cooperate with the strict investigation, the imperial court must punish a group of officials severely, kill chickens and monkeys, at least let people inside and outside see clearly. Do it. At the very least, let them still have a little fear in their hearts before doing it."

Xie Jin nodded. Whether it was a Beijing inspection or an outside inspection, the imperial court would always set up a few benchmarks to show the public.

After thinking for a while, he turned around and said: "The cabinet is discussing how the court should deal with the death of Lord Xin Guo. The minister's prelude is correct. Your Majesty seems to intend to send clan relatives and important officials to Fengyang."

Zhu Yunxi's ears moved immediately.

He turned his head slowly, looking at Xie Jin with fixed eyes.

"You don't want to say that the clan is me, do you?"
