Chapter 94

Taking advantage of the prestige of conquering Luzon, Zheng Kezang demanded at the court meeting to implement the distribution of people into mu.

During the process of the court meeting, the voices of opposition were not as loud as Zheng Kezang and Chen Yonghua imagined.

On the contrary, at the court meeting, Yang Ying, the household official, praised Zheng Kezang for thinking of the people and benefiting the country and the people.

Of course, there are also a small number of officials who believe that the risk is too great, and that governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, and if civil strife is caused, it will be the officials of the court who will be hurt.

Regarding this part of the officials, Zheng Kezang said: "Those who hold salaries for everyone, although they have frozen to death in the snow, the salary is still there."

This sentence made those officials who lacked confidence and determination instantly feel awe, and their blood boiled.

Seriously working for the well-being of the people, not afraid of the rich and powerful, isn't it just a salary earner?

Even Zheng Jing, who seldom speaks at ordinary times, became excited: "It's a good word for salary holders, I just hope that all of you are salary holders, and one day the fire will burn."

Zheng Jing is also a bit regretful. Recently, his health is getting worse and worse. He always feels that he will never see the day when his son Zheng Kezang will create a prosperous world.

Youdao is the biggest regret in life is always regretting the past.

The open-minded Zheng Jing tried not to think about his body, after all, birth, old age, sickness and death are unavoidable.

Soon, the "Tan Ding into Mu" began to be officially implemented in Dongning Mansion.

First, Dongning Daily created momentum, triggering large-scale discussions and gradually gaining popularity among the people.

The common people appealed one after another to implement it as soon as possible. This is a good system that has never been seen for thousands of years.

Opposing voices are like a drop of ink in the ocean, being drowned out.

Because this is Yizhou Island, the conflict between people and land is not prominent, and there are no gentry and wealthy families.

It is foreseeable that if the poll tax is abolished, Dongning Prefecture will usher in a period of explosive population growth.

Of course, Zheng Kezang's uncles were quite dissatisfied.

Their land is rich and fertile, so they have to pay a lot of taxes, how can this be done.

They hurriedly asked Zheng Jing to intercede and objected to sharing the property.

At first Zheng Jing refused to meet them behind closed doors, but later he was so harassed that he had no choice but to see what they had to say.

"Brother, the brothers came to Yizhou Island with you, and we are in the same trouble. Are you going to let Qin She deal with us?" Zheng Cong is very good at pretending to be pitiful.

The other brothers joined in.

Others were even more irritable, Zheng Ming directly wanted Zheng Jing to ban Zheng Kezang's title of country supervisor.

Zheng Cong on the side was sweating, this reckless man, why can't he choose what to say!
It seems that they came in haste and did not match their caliber.

Originally pretending to be pitiful and hopeful, when Zheng Ming said this, Zheng Jing's face immediately sank.

What do you mean, who will inherit Zheng Jing's country, it will be Zheng Ming's turn to intervene.

Immediately drive a few people away and let them go to Zheng Kezang to plead for mercy. He won't work here.

Will Zheng Kezang take care of them?

What's more, the guards were directly sent to guard the door, and they were not allowed to enter the door.

Zheng Cong and the others didn't dare to rush in. As the so-called scholar meets soldier, there is no reason to explain it.

The guards were famous, and Zheng Cong and others did not dare to compare their own scalps and bayonets.

There was nothing they could do, so they went directly to Dong Guotai to complain, which made Dong Guotai so annoyed that his life expectancy was reduced by a few days because of them.

It is said that it is a good thing to benefit the country and the people. Dong Guotai, a woman, has some sense. If she opposes it for no reason, she will be said to have long hair and short knowledge.

"Guess, go talk to Zheng Kezang about it yourself. I can't handle it. If you make less money, you won't die." Dong Guotai said with a cane.

A lot of age, take care of things less, live a few more years.

Dong Guotai has become more Buddhist recently. I don't know if it's because the Ming Dynasty Zheng Zhongzheng is flourishing, or because of other reasons.

Seeing that they could not solve the problem, Zheng Cong and others complained more and more to Zheng Kezang.

In March 1681, just as Zheng Kezang was intoxicated in the joy of the full implementation of the Dongning Mansion, a piece of news gave him a blow.

"Your Highness, the King is seriously ill!" Guard Mao Xing broke into Zheng Kezang's study and told him the unfortunate news.

Immediately, he tidied up his clothes, took his wife Chen Fei and younger brother Zheng Keshuang with him, and hurried to visit Zheng Jing.

Some histories can be changed and some histories are irreversible.

The long-term deliberate squandering of life has seriously damaged Zheng Jing's health, and his fire of life is about to be extinguished at any time.

When they came to Zheng Jing's sickbed, Zheng Kezang and Zheng Kezang's eyes turned red.

I saw that Zheng Jing couldn't get up, his sallow face looked like a dead person.

"My son doesn't cry, people will have this day." Zheng Jing said in a low voice, he had long expected that his time was approaching.

"Qin She, have your father-in-law and Uncle Wu Ping come here?" Zheng Jing said with all his strength.

"My father-in-law will be here soon. Uncle Wu Ping, I have already sent a boat to Luzon to pick him up. Please rest assured, father, he will be fine." Zheng Kezang said, wiping away tears.

Although he is a time traveler, after a few years, he has developed a father-son relationship with Zheng Jing, and Zheng Jing really prefers the eldest son.

Perhaps it is because Zheng Jing really loves his original mother, Chen Zhaoniang.

Zheng Jing nodded, then fainted, Zheng Kezang hurriedly asked the imperial physicians to take Zheng Jing's pulse, do their best, and obey the destiny.

In the next few days, Zheng Jing entered a dying state, dizzy, and his conscious time dwindled.

After persisting for about ten days, Liu Guoxuan took a fast boat all the way after receiving the news, and successfully rushed back from Luzon.

Liu Guoxuan really regards Zheng Jing as the lord. His life has been ups and downs. Thanks to Zheng Jing's support all the way, otherwise he would not have reached this point.

On March 1681, 3 AD, Zheng Jing suddenly woke up.

He felt a little more strength in his body, and quickly summoned Zheng Kezang, Chen Yonghua, Liu Guoxuan, Qiu Hui and other important officials.

Not long after, everyone came to Zheng Jing.

Zheng Jing took a sip of the medicinal soup and was in high spirits.

"Fufu, Gu's seal and sword are on the table. From today onwards, they will be handed over to the supervisor." Zheng Jing began to explain the funeral.

After finishing speaking, the old eunuch next to him, with tears in his eyes, handed the things to Zheng Kezang who was also extremely sad.

"Qinshe, a real man bleeds, sweats and doesn't cry. I remember this is the slogan of the Guards. How did you forget it?" Zheng Jing said with a smile.

Before Zheng Kezang could reply, Zheng Jingxu muttered, "My father's greatest regret in this life is that he did not complete the great cause of expelling the Tartars and restoring China, but my father will always believe that you can help my father fulfill this wish."

Zheng Jing is full of confidence in Zheng Kezang.

Zheng Jing's voice gradually weakened. Taking advantage of his strength, he quickly turned his head and told Chen Yonghua and others:

"Fufu, Guanguang, Lao Qiu, the four of us have been fighting against the Qing Dynasty for a lifetime, and the road has become narrower and narrower. Now I see Qinshe has some hope, you must help him well!"

Hearing Zheng Jing's explanation, the two fell to their knees immediately, weeping uncontrollably.

They all fought life and death together, which can be regarded as a friendship in the war. How can we not be sad in this situation.

Just after explaining, Zheng Jing's eyes suddenly went dark, he lost all his strength, and lay limp on the bed.

There were exclamations and cries in the room, but Zheng Jing couldn't wake up again.
