I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 332 Dissatisfaction!Backlog of emotions!

Among the vast queues of hundreds of thousands of workers.

Quietly, four big men and a young man sneaked in.

These five people all wore the same coarse linen clothes as many workers, with some patches on them.

There is no doubt that these people are Zhu Yunzhen, who is determined to investigate secretly, and the four guards including Song Zhong, the commander of the Jinyi Guards.

Zhu Yunzhen's face and hands were stained with some dust and mud.

Try to make yourself look as inconspicuous as possible. After all, he comes from a noble family and is pampered, so he looks different from ordinary workers.

He doesn't look like someone who comes from a poor background.

Anyone who is smart can tell the difference at a glance.

Song Zhong and others also dressed up as ordinary workers, without the slightest look of Jin Yiwei.

In this queue of 10 people, it looks extremely natural.

"Well, you'll go to the Gengchen barracks to rest!"

Soon, Zhu Yunzhen's team arrived at the workers' station, where barracks were set up according to the heavenly stems and earthly branches.

Sixty barracks in total.

Each barracks stretches for ten miles, like a market town, with various commodities for sale, including food, grass, daily necessities, etc.

Zhu Yunxuan observed it and found that the barracks was extremely complete, with a deep well every three hundred steps.

The wages for building the bridge are paid daily, so the workers can buy food with their daily wages.

It can be said that you don’t have to worry about eating and drinking.

After careful observation, Zhu Yunzhen didn't think there was anything bad here, and even felt that this was the limit of what Ming Dynasty could do at the moment.

Workers should not be dissatisfied.

But after he really integrated into the labor system, Zhu Yunzhen discovered that things... were not as he imagined.

It is not an issue about labor barracks or the treatment of workers.

It’s a question of where these workers come from!
……

Gengchen Camp.

Night, at the campfire.

Under the three jars of strong wine bought by Zhu Yunxuan, a dozen workers began to chat.

Disgusted at all.

"Damn! This is such a stupid court. I work as a soldier in the guard station and plow the fields. I don't have to do anything every day. I can still sleep with my wife in my arms."

"What kind of labor do you want us to do?"

"We also evacuated all our guard posts. Didn't we agree at the beginning? Can we, military households, all enjoy the wealth and wealth together?"

"Now that we have to leave our hometown, we will get a lot of money every day, but how long will it take to repair this damn bridge..."

This is a military household.

Although he was relatively poor in his original life, he still had a wife.

There is also income from land purchased by the imperial court.

Life suddenly became richer, and daily life couldn't be too wonderful.

Where is the motivation?
Even if I have little motivation to join the army, I just plow the fields every day. It would be good to have some harvest.

As a result, with the order of the imperial court, these military households were suddenly laid off, their land use rights were lost, and they were forced to build the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge.

Naturally he was dissatisfied.

It can be said that he is full of complaints against the imperial court.

Zhu Yunxuan listened on the sidelines and felt really uncomfortable. Not to mention that under the guard system, the military leaders would forcefully annex land in the future, which would make these military households miserable.

It hasn't happened after all.

But the Ming Dynasty court clearly paid so much money to buy land, and this military household officially became prosperous because of the day when the court bought land.

But in the mouth of this military household.

But he lifted it off lightly, as if this thing was what he deserved.

Perhaps, this is a matter of promoting kindness and fighting for hatred... Only when Zhu Yunxu came down to the bottom did he realize that the world was not as simple as Zhu Yunxu thought.

What the people thought was not as simple as Zhu Yunzhen thought.

Instead, most of them are thinking about their own small profits.

But it was not the military household that made Zhu Yunxian the most angry. What made Zhu Yunxian the most angry were the domestic slaves in the originally wealthy family.

"Who says it's not the case? Let me tell you, this court just likes to meddle in other people's business!" "Although I was said to be a servant of a wealthy family before, I looked more humble, and was occasionally punished by my master, but the work I do is light. !”

"We have food and drink every day. Rich families have money. The leakage alone every day is enough to make our slaves' mouths full of oil."

"Seeing that life was just getting better, I was dragged over to work as a laborer."

"Oh! I really don't want to do it anymore! I might as well continue selling myself into slavery!"

These domestic slaves had no idea there was anything wrong with selling themselves into slavery.

On the contrary, I feel that because the wealthy family has more and more money, life has just improved, but they are forced to bear a lot of debt.

He had to come to work and build the Jinling Yangtze River Bridge to pay off the debts of the original owner.

This so-called free agency is really not that rare for them.

I don’t feel the preciousness of freedom at all!
Under the catharsis of these two people, the gathering of ten or twenty people suddenly turned into a gathering of complaints.

They all feel that being a laborer is too tiring.

In the past, it would have been corvee work. No one would do it, but they had to be forced to do it.

His status and status feel even more despicable.

They are still exhausted, but the problem is that their families still have a lot of wealth.

I feel that my life is okay and there is no need to do such things.

The dissatisfaction with the imperial court became more and more serious. Even those who originally had no objections to the imperial court would inevitably change their views after this complaint.

Song Zhong's eyes flashed coldly.

He walked up to Zhu Yunzhen, made a gesture, and asked Zhu Yunzhen if he wanted to arrest all these people.

But Zhu Yunzhen just waved his hand.

He walked out of the barracks quietly with a solemn expression. He had never been to this lowest level before, and he had not seen so many problems.

But now I really understand it.

Only then did I realize that although many of my previous policies seemed to be implemented well, the local government was still implementing them with mandatory orders.

It does not come from the volition of the people at all.

This is the inertia of the times. Even if Zhu Yunzhen wanted to blame the local government, it would be difficult to blame anyone.

Because everyone thinks so!

Even the people think so!
This is the limitation of the times.

However, Zhu Yunxuan discovered another crucial problem. He discovered that he was really too good to the people after all, even to the point of being too good!

When people are too wealthy, they lose their motivation.

Without new consumption stimulation, all people will not want to leave home, but just want to live in a corner.

He seems to be living and working in peace and contentment.

But in fact, he is dying slowly.

"It's so kind!" Zhu Yunxuan silently reflected in his heart: "Even in his previous life, he put it in his pocket and emptied it at the same time."

It is not uncommon to empty six pockets!

He even had to bear decades of debt!

Only such a high debt can force people to work hard and make money.

It has become the driving force for people's struggle.

But now Ming’s problem is that he can only put money in his pocket, but cannot empty his pocket!
The people lost their enterprising spirit.

Even content to be a slave!
This is what makes Zhu Yunxian the most angry, but for the time being, Zhu Yunxian has no choice but to reverse this trend of thought bit by bit.

Use public opinion to change the minds of slaves.

But the real priority now is to find ways to ease the emotions of hundreds of thousands of workers.

If this situation continues, it is not a long-term solution!

Zhu Yunzhen already felt something was wrong!

"Song Zhong! Go check it out immediately! See if anyone is causing trouble behind this!"

"No, there must be someone behind this!"

"Go find this person for me!"

Zhu Yunzhen's eyes were cold. He could see it. This seemed to be public opinion, but how could public opinion react so fiercely?
It can even be said that it has reached the point of spreading deliberately!
