The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 576 Taishan Fengchan ([-])

Fortunately, nothing happened along the way.

Shengjia traveled through Linqing, went all the way south to Zhangqiu Town through the Huitong River section, then changed to land, passed through Dong'e, Pingyin, and Feicheng, and came to Tai'an Prefecture where Dongyue Taishan is located.

Like all states in Ming Dynasty, the highest official in Tai'an Prefecture is Zhizhou.

Lin Feng, the Zhizhou of the fifth rank, had already heard the news that the emperor was coming to Fengchan, and made the preparations to the extreme.

Not only Tai'an Prefecture, but the entire Jinan Prefecture was mobilized, recruiting tens of thousands of civilian husbands, and building a temporary palace in Tai'an.

Although this palace is not comparable to the leopard room, it is much better than ordinary governors and governors, and it is also in line with Zhu Houzhao's noble status.

The general south tour and north tour are not so good.This time Zhu Houzhao is going to specialize in Zen, and the details are very important.

The so-called Fengchan is nothing more than building an altar with earth on the top of Mount Tai, and the emperor worships the heaven and the earth to express his gratitude to the good weather, the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people.

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is to show off achievements.

Which king does not want to be praised?But there are only nine emperors who really have the strength to achieve Mount Tai Fengchan.

In the Ming Dynasty, there was no king who practiced Mount Tai Fengchan.

Zhu Houzhao was able to make the trip this time, thanks to Xie Shen.

If Xie Shen hadn't implemented so many new policies and completely changed the fate of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao would not have been qualified to come to Mount Tai anyway.

The sense of ritual of Taishan Fengchan is very important, it must be solemn and grand, and no accidents are allowed.

Therefore, the preparation work needs to be done solidly. After the emperor arrived, he did not immediately decide to climb the mountain to enshrine the Zen, but started to play around, in the name of leaving enough preparation time for his ministers.

Accompanying him were Tang Yin and Wang Shouren, besides Xie Shen, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Gu Dingchen, the second assistant.

Since you want to enshrine Zen, you can't go too far. The monarch and his party still wander around Tai'an Prefecture, trying to feel the customs of Qilu land as much as possible.

But saying that the day was sunny and sunny, Zhu Houzhao took Xie Shen and others for a walk in the field on an impromptu basis.

Shengjia went to a farm, but was surrounded by a group of villagers carrying hoes.

The brocade guards drew their knives one after another, staring vigilantly at this group of reckless villagers.The atmosphere is very tense, and large-scale conflicts may break out at any time.

Zhu Houzhao frowned, coughed and said, "Sir, you might as well ask, what's going on?"

He came to Taishan to enshrine Zen, not to add trouble.

Surrounded by his own subjects in a good way, it hurts too much.

Xie Shen nodded, stepped forward and said, "Fathers, folks, what are you doing? There must be a misunderstanding"

"What a misunderstanding! Dog officer, do you think you guys won't recognize each other if you change a group of people?"

A muscular and muscular man with a bare upper body took a step outside, and interrupted Xie Shen sharply.

"Old Xiao Ge, do you want to go up to the humble position and teach him a lesson?"

Ji Wenyuan, a thousand households of Jin Yiwei, offered his hospitality.

Xie Shen waved his hand and said, "Leave it to me."

After speaking, he took the initiative to step forward, and said face to face with the strong man: "I'm afraid that the village party member has misunderstood the person? We have just arrived in Tai'an Prefecture, how could you know us?"

The strong man was stunned for a moment, and he was puzzled and said: "Just arrived in Tai'an Prefecture? Aren't you from that dog-knowledge state?"

Xie Shen spread out his hands dumbfoundingly and said, "Of course not."

The strong man nodded and said: "The name of Sajia is Wu An, and we are all from Wujiazhuang. I thought you were the dog official, so I rushed out. I have offended you, I have offended you."

"Second Master, why are you talking nonsense with them? The world is as black as crows, and the officials of the Ming Dynasty are all the same. Do you still expect them to help us decide?"

Zhu Houzhao was overjoyed when he heard this.

"Haha, what you said really hit the point. If there is any grievance, you can just say it. There is nothing I can't do."

After all, Zhu Houzhao was young, and he immediately became interested when he heard of grievances.

"Can you really decide for us?"

"That depends on whether you are really wronged."

Zhu Houzhao said lightly.

"My lord, my lord, make the decision for us."

Wu An knelt down first, followed by a hundred or so people knelt down and kowtowed to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao was very moved.

Although he is the Son of Heaven, countless courtiers on the Golden Palace bowed down golden mountains and jade pillars to bow to him, but it was all stylized.Today is very different.

"Let's talk about it."

"Master, you must not be a native of Tai'an, right? You don't know how shameless Master Lin Fenglin is."

Wu An gritted his teeth, wishing he could swallow Lin Zhizhou alive.

"What kind of shameless method?"

Zhu Houzhao's complexion gradually became solemn, and there was no trace of joking.

"Our Wujiazhuang has made a living by burning bamboo charcoal for generations. It has been like this since the Hongwu Dynasty, and it has been more than a hundred years. We have never been short of taxes to the government and the court. Why should we seal up our charcoal kilns."

Wu An clenched his fists tightly, and roared hysterically: "Just because the emperor wants to come to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen? Afraid that the smoke from the charcoal kiln will inhale the emperor?"

Uh.
Zhu Houzhao was filled with righteous indignation at first, but it was really embarrassing that he was scolded along with him afterwards.

"Ahem, what does this have to do with today's world?"

"It doesn't matter! If it wasn't for the emperor Lao Tzu who wanted to come to Mount Tai to enshrine Zen, how could Gou Zhizhou seal the bamboo charcoal kiln? For them, sealing the kiln is a one-sentence matter. But for us Wujiazhuang, it would not give us a way out. Our world Generations have lived by burning bamboo charcoal, and have no other means of making a living. Isn’t this driving us to a dead end?”

Zhu Houzhao had black lines on his face and remained silent.

Although he didn't quite understand the relationship between burning bamboo charcoal and Taishan Fengchan, he felt that Wu An's words made sense.

"You said that Lin Zhizhou wants to seal your bamboo charcoal kiln. What is the reason?"

"Hey, there are two openings under the official word, if the official wants to close the kiln, he can just find a reason."

Wu An was obviously very excited, and the veins on his face exploded.

"The dog official said that the quality of the bamboo charcoal fired in our kiln is inferior, and he was talking nonsense with his eyes open. The bamboo charcoal fired in our Wujiazhuang is one of the best in the entire Shandong Chief Secretary, not to mention in Tai'an. The quality of the bamboo charcoal made is poor, even the dog official can figure it out!"

Wu An felt that he and his tribe had been insulted, sobbing loudly.

"How did you handle this matter?"

"How else can we deal with it? He wants to close the kiln, so naturally we have to fight with him to the end. We Wujiazhuang people never cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble. No one wants to smear our face for no reason. That dog official can't do it, the emperor's father No way!"

Wu An raised his eyebrows and said every word.
