MTL - Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty-v2 Chapter 1642 Your Majesty has something in his stomach

  Chapter 1642 Your Majesty has something in his belly

  Fang Jifan's words are completely from the heart.

  Don't look at his usual crazy appearance, but he still understands things, and he is never vague when it comes to business.

  He doesn't pay attention to anyone in this world, but the premise of all this is that Emperor Hongzhi must be well coaxed.

  To be honest, if His Majesty didn't take half of the benefits, Fang Jifan wouldn't dare to let go of it.

   But now it's better, with support, it's a huge deal, and Fang Jifan dared to do it.

  Emperor Hongzhi saw Fang Jifan showing joy, the joy came from his heart, and he nodded secretly.

  Look at Jifan, it’s so simple and sincere, I share his profits, he can be happy like New Year’s.

  Thinking of many people who entered the court as officials, but I don’t know how many, they all left good stories in this ten-mile Qinhuai, silk and satin, thousands of dollars to buy smiles, and servants like clouds. In the Chongwen Palace, they love to talk about the way of extravagance and simplicity, and they talk about competing for the interests of the people. Only now do they understand that it is precisely these people who are fighting for the interests of the people.

  They use the harshest eyes to test others, but they treat themselves with another standard.

  Emperor Hongzhi felt relieved, but he couldn't help but look at Fang Jifan and said, "In this Xiaoling, Jifan doesn't have any other insights except thinking about economics?"

  Fang Jifan's face twitched involuntarily. Well, he really didn't think of anything else. He only knew that someone wanted to kill himself, and thought that his chance to make a fortune had come.

  The wealthy households in the south of the Yangtze River have a stronger family background...so they are more able to resist the economic crisis.

  This is also why the land and property of the landlords and riches in the north almost fell into the hands of the bank, while not many lands in the south of the Yangtze River fell into the bank.

   But now... isn't it a great time?

  During the time of peace and prosperity, people were happy to hold the land, because the land was the foundation, but once there was chaos, the land became a burden and a burden.

Fang Jifan saw that Emperor Hongzhi looked at him with a pleasing expression, so naturally he would not disappoint Emperor Hongzhi, so he replied without hesitation: "Your Majesty, when I came to Xiaoling, I thought of Emperor Gao of Taizu, Emperor Gao of Taizu Entrepreneurship is difficult, rising commoners, Weiwu scriptures, Wuding disasters, and writings lead to peace. I think he made this great achievement, expelled the Tartars, and restored the mountains and rivers. Now he is buried here. Although it has been 100 or 50 years, he can still be kind Children and grandchildren, sons and ministers... are filled with emotion."

  Emperor Hongzhi's eyes showed interest, and he couldn't help saying: "What emotion do you have?"

Fang Jifan said with sincerity: "It is said that the virtue of a gentleman is cut off for the fifth generation. From the present emperor Gao to your Majesty, it has been the sixth generation. Your Majesty encourages Yu Lie, the emperor Gao, to carry out the New Deal. Emperor Taizu Gao’s thoughts on governing the world at the beginning are so similar, isn’t what he did to set the world in order and create a peaceful world, so as to be kind to his descendants?”

"However, His Majesty came to Xiaoling today because...the thieves have sinister intentions and dare to kill His Majesty. For the past hundred and fifty years, the emperors of all dynasties have treated the scholars preferentially, exempting the gentry from taxes and taxes. I tried my best to promote them to the court as officials. Thinking about it, Emperor Taizu Gao set up these rules for preferential treatment of scholars in the hope that they could be used by the court to help the court stabilize the country and benefit the people. After His Majesty ascended the throne, Yu Yu It is better than before. But what is the result? As a result, from Emperor Taizu Gao to the present, the lives of the people have not improved, and poverty is still everywhere. Countless people have lost their land and become refugees. In times of disaster, they are still as before. In that way, the family was ruined, the sons and daughters were sold. The sons and ministers even...heard the rumors of cannibalism. Your Majesty... the people's situation has not improved since Emperor Taizu Gao, on the contrary, it has become even worse."

  Emperor Hongzhi was silent when he heard this, as if he was thinking about something.

Fang Jifan said again: "So in the south of the Yangtze River, these ordinary people lost their land, and they competed to enter the Zhumen, changed their names and changed their names, hoping to sell them as slaves, but more people wanted to cling to the Zhumen but couldn't get it. I want to be a servant, but I have nothing to rely on. Your Majesty has visited the people in private, so he knows the hardships of the people's livelihood. My son is thinking, if I know that the wealth of the world is stolen by others , but the grievances of the people in the world are gathered in the imperial court, gathered in the majesty, so... I dare to ask, how would they imagine if they have spirits in the sky?"

Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi's slight frown, and continued: "Your Majesty, the original intention of using scholars is to secure the world. To secure the world, the common people have enough food and clothing. In this world, there are many lands with people. If there are a few, then there will be more refugees, and the resentment of the people will naturally increase. The original intention of treating them favorably before now has not been realized, but has intensified the situation to the point of urgency. Your Majesty only treats them a little bit Harsh, they will run amok and have no scruples. First, they want to assassinate their ministers, and secondly, they want to kill the imperial envoys. They even try to falsely accuse Wei Guogong's mansion and force against Wei Guogong. These kinds of crimes are too numerous to write. Days, in Xiaoling, I feel very uncomfortable..."

  Fang Jifan tried his best to make a sad expression, but he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes and the good mood that he was about to buy land.

  Emperor Hongzhi closed his eyes at this moment: "If you are me, what should I do?"

Fang Jifan quickly shook his head: "I don't dare, I don't dare, how dare I be Your Majesty, let alone I don't dare to speculate on Your Majesty's mind. But... if I dare to guess, if Emperor Taizu Gao is still alive, he will never allow these traitors to cause harm to the world, and he must be killed."

  Fang Jifan finally showed hostility.

  Perhaps it was because I came to this world and saw more dangers in the world, but deep down in my heart, I still couldn't get rid of the violent spirit of the prodigal son from before.

  Emperor Hongzhi's face became heavy, he paused, and he said calmly: "I see."

  Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Yesterday, I had a dream. I dreamed of Emperor Taizu Gao. He said something to me, which coincided with what you said."

  Fang Jifan: "..."

  Fang Jifan felt that Emperor Hongzhi was fooling himself.

  Emperor Taizu Gao really knew how to dream? This is impossible, if you can dream, I am the first one to be hacked to death in this Xiaoling, isn't it Fang Jifan?

  Uh, why does it seem that... Your Majesty wants to use the dream... to do something?

  Emperor Hongzhi heaved a sigh of relief immediately, and turned to say: "I have ordered the British Duke Zhang Ying to dispatch troops quickly, in the name of offering sacrifices to the Xiaoling Mausoleum, and come here as soon as possible...will arrive soon..."

   "Your Majesty is wise." Fang Jifan said with a dry smile.

  …

   Two days later.

   Under the Zijin Mountain, someone came.

  Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help being puzzled, and ordered Xiaoling guards to go down and pick him up.

  The person who came was Cao Yuan, the censor of the left deputy capital.

  The left deputy capital censor is stationed in Nanjing. He is the head of the Nanjing censor and is responsible for supervising the officials in Nanjing. Because he has the power to impeach, almost no one dares to provoke him in this half of the south of the Yangtze River.

  Fang Jifan found it interesting when he heard that Cao Yuan had arrived.

  He really has some impression of this person.

  Cao Yuan, in history, colluded with Liu Jin after Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne. Because he was recommended by Liu Jin, he later worshiped as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and also a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Of course, this person also had the experience of governor of Gansu at the beginning. When he was governor of Gansu, because Zhu Houzhao loved tigers and leopards, he sent eunuchs to look for tigers and leopards outside the pass. At that time, there were Tatars outside the pass. Cao Yuan was afraid because of this. , and worsened the relationship with the Tatars, causing border quarrels, so he wrote a letter to stop.

  Of course...Until now, Emperor Hongzhi is still there, Zhu Houzhao has not yet ascended the throne, Cao Yuan is natural, and his life trajectory has also changed.

   Panting, he led the officials up the mountain.

  Emperor Hongzhi was still in commoner clothes, sitting in the side hall, waiting for Cao Yuan to lead the officials.

As soon as they met, everyone looked at each other. Cao Yuan, who was in front of Emperor Hongzhi, was a kind-hearted old man. With such evil intentions and audacity, the old man, as the deputy capital censor of the left, has already issued a note to order a strict investigation and make him safe."

  He looked at Emperor Hongzhi with concern, as if worried for Emperor Hongzhi.

   Now that Zhang Mao's army has not arrived, there is no distinction between enemy and friend in Nanjing City, and Emperor Hongzhi is happy to continue to be his envoy.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Mr. Cao has been worrying too much. This time there is no danger, and there is no serious problem."

  Cao Yuan saw that Emperor Hongzhi didn't salute him, so he muttered in his heart.

Logically speaking, the person in front of me is of course an imperial envoy, so I have to salute first, but after all, the imperial envoy is only the identity of the Hanlin, and I am the left deputy capital censor, with a high position and authority. At this time, the other party should salute to me .

  But the other party just sits still, which is impolite.

   But thinking about it carefully, this imperial envoy must have been frightened. He is just a Hanlin who has never seen the world.

  So... Cao Yuan smiled and said: "It's fine if there's nothing to do, it's fine if there's nothing to do. This old man is not happy to see such a big event happen. Now that I can see the imperial envoy without any hindrance, the old man is relieved."

   So he sat down, and when someone poured tea, Cao Yuan stared at Emperor Hongzhi: "Dare to ask the imperial envoy if he has found any clues, otherwise...why would this murder happen?"

  Emperor Hongzhi only said: "Everything happened so suddenly, I still have lingering fears when I think about it. As for what we found...but it is inconvenient to say."

"Yes, yes." Cao Yuan laughed heartily again, he was very generous, gentle and polite: "Of course, after all, it involves an imperial case. The imperial envoy who came to Jinling must be the imperial envoy." Because of being smart and capable. But... the old man has something to say, and I don't know whether to say it or not."

  …

  The second update was delivered yesterday.
