Daming: I, Zhu Di, threatened to seize the heir apparent at the beginning!

Chapter 544 Zhu Di: My hands are actually very dark!
Complaint!
The carriage where Zhu Di was located, as well as the carriage with a connecting door, fell silent for an instant.

Xu Miaoyun, Zhu Jingjing, Dongxu, Qihua...

Everyone couldn't help but frown.

Through the carriage, he looked at Zhu Di worriedly.

At this moment, Zhu Di also frowned.

He didn't expect that this brave guy would give him such a difficult problem.

As expected, it must be related to the refugees in Jiangsu and Zhejiang who were abandoned by the gentry and landlords and struggled to survive.

To be honest, Yu Qian just asked Yanhua to come forward to raise food to support this group of refugees, and not allow Yanhua to recruit these refugees to move to Yanhua.

It's all better, just file a complaint!
The eldest brother has great power and is about to ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor.

He took Yu Qian to do this.

If the eldest brother is broad-minded enough, he will take this as the concern that he, the prince of the Zhu family, has for the stability of the old Zhu family dynasty.

If it is a little narrower.

Everyone will regard this matter as a blow to their accession to the throne.

Does eldest brother know about the affairs in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?

Definitely know!

Ma Quan told him before that the local governments in Jiangsu and Zhejiang could only use their treasury to provide work-for-relief for a few months every year to allow these refugees to work.

Get paid.

During the rest of the time, the refugees worked odd jobs on their own, or relied on the mountains and rivers to eat, dig wild vegetables, etc. to satisfy their hunger.

On the surface, this approach was the behavior of Ma Quan, the chief envoy, in governing Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is a way for the elder brother to stabilize the refugees after knowing the situation.

Combine these methods.

Refugees will not starve to death.

No matter how numb and hopeless I am about my future life.

Never mind whether you can keep up with nutrition.

At least, this series of policy measures ensures that these refugees will not take desperate risks.

Maintained a stable situation.

Not surprisingly, the eldest brother is using this in exchange for time and will slowly and gradually solve these problems.

As for the method.

He also saw it from some of the Ming Dynasty's policy measures in recent years.

Over the past few years.

The eldest brother has been promoting the abolition of the indenture system in factories on a small scale in places where the reformists are in power.

Breaking the bond that binds workers to their personal status, workers are reduced to the status of factory owners like cows, horses, pigs, and dogs.

Factory owners cannot carry out cruel and bottom-line exploitation of workers similar to what they are doing now.

As working hours are limited, the workload will inevitably be reduced.

Then, the factory wants to produce more high-quality and low-priced goods in the competition.

In addition to technological upgrading, it is also the expansion of production capacity.

Technology upgrading, Ming Dynasty does not have such conditions for the time being.

Only low-tech, labor-intensive, large-scale factories can be developed.

In this way, these refugees can be digested.

However, it is estimated that according to the current progress of the court and the constraints of the conservatives, it will take at least ten years.

Tie Xuan looked at the five scholars kneeling on the ground and Zhu Di, who was frowning and thinking, with a complicated expression.

At this moment, he was in a very complicated mood.

That is to say, he hopes that King Yan will intervene. After all, he knows very well that if you want to solve this problem with the power of the court and the prince alone, the timeline will inevitably be very long.

'We can only suffer the people once and let the people suffer again...'

This kind of talk is nothing new in court.

It's almost audible calloused.

If there is really no other way, and it is for the sake of the overall situation and suffering for the people, then that is justified.

Now, as long as this prince is willing to intervene, perhaps this problem can be solved quickly.

Any conscientious official, at this moment, would like this person to intervene.

Can……

But as a courtier loyal to the prince.

He was also very aware of the negative impact this intervention would have on the prince.

Moreover, this person's intervention is undoubtedly very likely to intensify the conflict between the prince and this person.

this moment.

Some are looking forward to it, some are nervous, some are worried...

All eyes were focused on Zhu Di.

"You have posed a problem for me." Zhu Di broke the silence with a wry smile and looked at Yu Qian who touched his forehead to the ground. "My father is seriously ill. You asked me to take you to sue the emperor now. Where do you put human relations?" land?"

"That's great."

"I don't want to sue you for the time being. After I enter Beijing, I will raise a batch of food from Yanhua under other names to ensure that these refugees will have a decent supply of food for at least three or four years. Inside, the imperial court can also think of ways to resolve this crisis..."

Yu Qian raised his head, his eyes were fearless, and he looked straight at Zhu Di. There seemed to be a hint of disappointment in his eyes, and he said bluntly: "Your Majesty, this is sophistry. First of all, if the student is waiting to file a petition at this time, it has no relationship with His Majesty and Your Majesty." The feelings are not conflicting."

"Your Majesty loves the people, and everyone in the world knows that. Regarding this matter, the prince helped the students and others successfully filed a petition to the imperial court and asked the court to come up with a complete solution to the matter. Your Majesty can feel at ease even...even...!"

Snapped!
"How brave!" Ma Quan suddenly stood up and shouted angrily: "You are a crazy person, how dare you curse your Majesty!"

This kid, although he didn't say it in the end.

But the meaning behind the words is that even His Majesty can smile.

Zhu Di waved his hand to stop Ma Quan.

In fact, he himself knows it very well.

As this timid boy said.

His words contained elements of sophistry.

Based on his understanding of his father, if he could force everyone in the court to come up with a solution under the pressure of this atmosphere before leaving.

As Yu Qian said, my father was also happy in his heart.

Doesn’t your father know about the refugee issue?

clear!

Father doesn't interfere, that's the eldest brother's current strategy of delaying and exchanging time for space.

Although my father may not agree in his heart.

But barely acceptable.

In my elder brother's place, where the reformists were in power, a small-scale experiment was carried out to abolish the indenture system.

My father's non-interference was to give my eldest brother enough space to act.

It is also to save face for the future prince, my eldest brother.

It's impossible. My father feels that his body can't hold on anymore, and when he is about to face the transfer of imperial power, he still scolds his eldest brother and makes him lose his majesty, right?

This is not conducive to the transition of imperial power.

Just listen to Yu Qian continue to say: "The sage said that when encountering problems, turn to the inside more often and less to the outside. Although the sage's words are big and general, these wise words have guiding significance."

"In the past few years, the imperial court only thought about developing technology from Prince Yanhua in industry, and even resorted to stealing and misappropriation. However, it never thought about turning to others for help, imitating Yanhua, and doing research on their own. Therefore, The imperial court has made the industry in a mess over the years. If Yanhua had not assisted in the construction of the Grand Cross Railway and helped sort out the industrial areas controlled by the imperial court, I am afraid that the industrial order would have been even worse. "

"If you don't work hard, no matter how much you get from outside, it will never be yours, and it will never be possible to truly make full use of these resources!"

……

Zhu Di nodded slightly, a smile appearing on his lips.

I was also very emotional.

An outstanding person is an outstanding person after all.

Real talents taught by the great principles of Confucianism can still use these principles with ease even in the period of industrialization.

In the final analysis, the great principles of Confucianism teach people how to behave in the world and teach people the right way.

But the avenue is too vague.

Only a few people can truly understand it and use it flexibly.

But skills are faced by the vast majority of the general public.

Historically, throughout the late Qing Dynasty, those old-school figures, including Li Zengzhang, were actually mediocre people.

Compared to the timid boy in front of him, he was far behind.

It is better to seek help from within than from outside!

In one sentence, the essence of the development of a person and a country can be expressed.

"It's the same now. The students don't think that if the prince helps the court and raises refugees for three or four years, the court can solve this problem. On the contrary, the students think that the support of the prince Yanhua will only cultivate laziness on the court's side, and one day in the future , when the prince stops supporting him, the students can be sure that not only the court will think that the prince is dishonest and resent him, but also the refugees who are supported by the prince will complain about him. "

"This move will not benefit the court in any way."

"For the prince, it will do a lot of harm and no good at all!"

"The prince spent countless money and food, but in the end, there was no one to say anything nice to him!" "This is a case of grudges against rice!"

"Therefore, the students ask the prince to take the students to Yanjing to file a petition!"

boom!
After saying this, Yu Qian kowtowed heavily.

The sound produced by the collision is not loud.

But it was like a bell ringing in everyone's heart.

clap clap clap...

Zhu Di's applause sounded.

"Okay! I will take you to file a complaint!"

Ma Quan's face suddenly turned pale, but he did not dare to object.

Zhu Di changed the topic and said, "However, I also have a request. After this is done, you can come with me to Yanhua. Yanhua is more suitable for a brave and iron-headed person like you."

"king……"

As soon as Tie Xuan opened his mouth, he was stopped by Zhu Di's sharp eyes.

Zhu Di's gaze shifted and fell on Yu Qian again.

He really couldn't bear to let this kid die in the endless conspiracy and exclusion of the Ming Dynasty.

As for the current official ecology of the imperial court.

Yu Qian stayed in the Central Plains.

I'm afraid it will fall earlier than in history.

In history, although he hated this kid so much that he gritted his teeth.

But he has to compete with Tang Taizong.

Taizong could accommodate Wei Zheng.

How could he not tolerate this kid?

Later, Gao Chi and his son became more benevolent monarchs.

At that time, Sanyang was in charge of the government.

There are three Yangs protecting this young junior.

In general, no one in the court dared to blatantly mess with this tough-headed kid.

Don't you see, wait until these people are gone.

Can this iron-headed boy only leave behind one eternal masterpiece and die generously?
But now, there are not so many people protecting him in the court.

On the contrary, today's conservatives hate young people like him the most.

Together with the student movement.

If he is not careful, Yu Qian may become the first person to shed his blood.

The student movement requires bloodshed.

But it would be a pity if Yu Qian's passion was only sprinkled on the student movement and turned into spring flowers, azaleas all over the mountains and plains.

Go to Yanhua.

After a few years of training in the officialdom, I gained a little more roundness.

After the hero succeeds to the throne, let him come back.

Yu Qian raised his head, looked at Zhu Di, and shook his head firmly, "Yanhua is a young student. The young student's blood does not matter, but the Central Plains needs the students' blood. Heroes like the prince, since they agree to the students, then set conditions for the students. , It is detrimental to the prince’s wisdom.”

snort!
Zhu Di laughed in anger and snorted coldly: "Remember, I have never admitted that I am a hero. I also tell you that the world needs heroes. The heroic spirit guides everyone. While wandering, they constantly correct their mistakes and embark on the road to success." One, the right path, but heroes can't accomplish things. Heroes can only pass on their spirit to us. Let us use heroes as examples, keep our nature and heart, and if we want to accomplish things, don't be heroes. Some of the things I did , you should understand that my hands are very dark! I just did one thing right than most people and kept my true nature!"

"Go away! The conditions are waived. I agree to your request for a petition! Get off the train immediately and persuade others to leave the railway. The five of you will follow me into Beijing!"

"In the hearts of the students, the prince is a hero. If there is an opportunity in the future, the students also hope to listen to the prince's teachings!" Yu Qian said happily. After solemnly kowtow to thank him, he got up and got out of the car with four other classmates to convey Zhu Di's meaning.

……

blah blah blah...

After a while.

The train restarts.

"I'm Yu Qian."

"Yang Dongxu."

"Chunxiao."

"Liu Minfeng."

"Zhu Qihua!"

"Zhu Gaoxu!"

……

Inside the office car.

The door is closed.

Xu Miaoyun personally cooked tea for Zhu Di.

Listening to the sounds of children introducing each other outside, I couldn't help but smile, "Are you attracted to talents?"

This young scholar is indeed very good.

If Shiro hadn't been moved by his love for talents.

It is impossible to protect him completely.

It's just that... the young man has a simple temperament and has not yet clearly realized how many people he will offend after the impeachment occurs, and what risks he will face if he stays in the Central Plains in the future.

Xu Miaoyun raised her head as she spoke.

Zhu Di was seen looking out the window in trance.

Holding a cup of prepared tea, he came to Zhu Di and looked out the window.

Outside the car window, as the train passes by.

A clutter of low triangular shacks swept back.

In the forest of shacks, there are numb and dull faces.

The sting hurts the eyes.

In Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

There is no such welcome in Fujian.

Since following Shiro out to sea.

She had not seen such a miserable scene in nearly twenty years.

After a long time, Zhu Di turned around and sighed, "I was the one who pushed them into this situation."

Yes.

He did it on purpose.

He had expected this day to begin transporting agricultural machinery and equipment to the Central Plains on a large scale.

It's like a student movement that has been planned for a long time but has not yet happened.

these refugees.

They are also his pawns to force the Central Plains and force his eldest brother to make changes!

The Grand Cross Railway project required a lot of labor.

And, coercing the eldest brother to give Yanhua a population of three million.

All for this day, to ease this contradiction a little.

While forcing the elder brother to change.

Just minimize the sacrifice of innocent people as much as possible.

In fact, when these pure tenants who were dependent on the gentry were ignored in the process of rural village communes, he knew that with the process of industrialization.

This scene will appear.

And this was also a link that he deliberately ignored at the time and left behind.

At that time, he had not thought about how to use it.

That's why he told Qian that he was never a hero.

His hands are so dark!

……

The rest of the way.

The situation never happened again.

Two days later.

The train enters Zhili territory.

Jinling suddenly felt very hot...

The news about the tunnel explosion and the scholars blocking the road had already reached the Jinling court.

Undercurrents surge in the heat.
