Jiangxi's rescue work is in full swing, and it is also developing in a good direction, because Jiangxi's land and water transportation have begun to recover in an orderly manner, which means that support from the imperial court can continue to pour into Jiangxi.

The army began to withdraw one after another, and these athletes who had overcome the flood and conquered the sky came out of the death of their comrades and siblings, singing the heroic music of the ancestors and cheering long live, and striding out of Jiangxi to return to their respective stations.

Zhu Yunwen has not left yet, one is because the monument has not yet been built, and the other is because he still has a lot of things to deal with, such as the first thing when Nanzhili's aid grain entered Jiangxi, it was arranged by Zhu Yunwen to repay the relief grain of nearly 4 million stone taken out by the Jiangxi Merchants Association.

The provincial and government food chiefs provided disaster relief, and all expenses were reimbursed by the imperial court, with the aim of stabilizing the disaster situation and ensuring people's livelihood at the first time.

This system is very good in Zhu Yunwen's opinion, as for why this system was swept into the garbage heap in the middle and late Ming Dynasty, one is because of the poverty of the Ming Dynasty, which led to the inability to repay this expenditure and grain, and the other is also because of the bad environment.

There are too many feudal clansmen of the Ming Dynasty, these things occupy a large amount of land, but they are not willing to give a dime at all, every time they encounter disasters, they all count on the grain to grow grain, and they hold tens of thousands of acres or even hundreds of thousands of acres of land one by one but are not willing to produce a grain of rice, who is willing to continue to be the wrongdoer?

This is the importance of the social ethos.

Therefore, in the countless causal lines of the Ming Dynasty, you will find that there is a shadow of the existence of the Zhu Ming clan.

Now that this ancestral family law has been swept into the dust of history by Zhu Yunwen, what he needs to do next is to build a social environment full of positive energy and a good social atmosphere.

And the basis of this is that the Ming court must first have credibility.

Nearly four million stone grain, these big farmers in Jiangxi may not expect the court to reimburse them, but they still took it out without hesitation, because they themselves are also Jiangxi people, they want to save themselves, everyone has a conscience, so Zhu Yunwen is glad that these big farmers have not been completely blinded by lard, Daming has not yet engaged in large-scale capital recovery, they have not yet reached the point of sitting and watching the mountains and rivers shatter, and they are drunk with money.

Since they still have a conscience, Zhu Yunwen will not treat their conscience lightly.

If they have no conscience, the first thing Zhu Yunwen will do after the disaster relief is to kill all these things and confiscate their homes, and carry out a big campaign to fight local tyrants and divide the land in Jiangxi.

The right things should be encouraged and rewarded, and the wrong things should be criticized and punished, so as to guide the society and more people to do the right things instead of doing the wrong things.

The big farmers who got the grain were very happy, happily reciting the justice of the court, and shouted a few congratulatory messages such as "Long live the emperor" by the way, and before they could come out of the joy, greater joy followed.

The Emperor will summon them and award them with honors!

How can he be virtuous, a businessman can still be worthy of the emperor's honor?

"Let's get even."

Zhu Yunwen was wearing a plain robe and Confucian shirt, but he lacked a little bit of imperial prestige and added a lot of elegance, which made the pressure on the hearts of these Jiangxi bigwigs a lot less.

"You are all the humerus of my Ming Dynasty, and you are the protector of the eight million people in Jiangxi."

Zhu Yunwen warmly encouraged: "If it weren't for the first time you opened a warehouse to give grain and opened porridge sheds in various parts of Jiangxi, I don't know how many people in Jiangxi would starve to death, so although you did not go to the front line to fight the flood, you still survived countless lives. ”

Seeing the emperor raise his glass, the whole hall stood up in shock, and he didn't dare to raise his glass and kneel on the ground.

"It's all said don't be so polite, get up."

Zhu Yunwen was still very satisfied with their attitude, jokingly.

"I want to thank you with the public, and I still want to thank you with the private."

The big guy's face was full of doubts, and the public is easy to understand, this is not private?

The emperor shouldn't be a backword, angry that he came to Jiangxi by holy car and their Jiangxi merchants didn't send gold, silver, beauties or anything like that?

Seeing this expression, Zhu Yunwen didn't have an appetite for them, and opened his mouth to explain.

"Because if I hadn't had a feast for you today, I wouldn't have been able to eat such a good meal."

Stretching out his hand, Zhu Yunwen laughed: "It's not a secret, I have been accompanied by gruel and pickles for half a month, and today I set up a banquet to entertain you, thinking that I can't be shabby, and I specially ordered someone to kill a few sheep and get a few pigs. ”

"My emperor loves the heart of the people, touches the heavens and the earth, and all things in the world are born by the emperor's grace, and he should be a filial son of His Majesty."

Some people who can pat on the back first said: "These foods are all grass people who are grateful for Your Majesty's kindness and rashly offer, so why do they have anything to do with Your Majesty?" ”

There is a pot on the back of the subjects, the emperor is a saint, and there can be no stain on the saint.

The people are still eating bran and drinking thin, and the emperor's feast and drinking of big fish and meat are not good, these big families are not fools, of course they have to take it, and when they go out, others ask, they have to promote for the emperor, saying that the food tonight is gruel and pickles.

"How can there be a reason to be an emperor and deceive the people."

Zhu Yunwen waved his hand: "One is one, two is two, you can't fake it." Just like your merits, good is good, where is Wei Hezhou. ”

Wei Hezhou, the grain chief of Jiangxi, immediately stood up and prostrate on the ground, with his forehead bowed: "The grass people are here." ”

"I'm very pleased with your business."

Zhu Yunwen looked down condescendingly, smiling: "I have seen your sincere heart for the country and the people, so I want to reward you, although you have not participated in the imperial examination, but you are familiar with this Yan Ge old man next to me, he was born as a grain chief in Zhejiang in his early years, and he has not participated in the imperial examination, so there is a precedent for entering the office as a grain chief."

This time, in order to relieve the disaster, you scattered all your family wealth and generously donated money, opened hundreds of porridge sheds in the three mansions of northern Jiangxi, and lived countless lives.

If you give good to the people, I will give you good.

I can't take anything else, you are the grain chief of Jiangxi, and you are richer than me, the emperor. ”

The big guys in the hall couldn't help but show a shallow smile on their faces, although the emperor said that he was rich all over the world, and even the grass in the world was the emperor's private property, but if he calculated carefully, the imperial court had a treasury, which was separated from the emperor, and the emperor did not have his own money, so he had to be cautious and cautious when spending money, but the grain chief of Jiangxi, the land of fish and rice, the wealth was taken to the sea, not to mention that in addition to those lands, most of the porcelain business in Jiangxi was held by the Wei family.

"The grass people don't dare, the shore of the land is not the king's minister, without His Majesty's reward, where is the grass people today."

Wei Hezhou's cheeks were sweating, for fear that the emperor would be worried about his family property, so he immediately took the initiative to speak: "If it weren't for Your Majesty's blessing this time, the grass people would have died in the flood long ago. ”

Feeling that Wei Hezhou seemed to have misunderstood his own meaning, Zhu Yunwen hurriedly opened his mouth to be relieved, and said with a smile: "No, I didn't come to ask you for silver, I mean that you are already very rich in money, and I won't reward you separately, but this official, I still have the final say."

In this way, I will make you the right senator of Jiangxi, and as for the grain roads of which prefectures are in charge of the governor, I will let Fang Mengsheng arrange it in the future. You are also familiar with the grain chief's supervision of the grain road, and it is not a layman's operation. ”

A provincial senate?

Zhu Yunwen's opening was not only Wei Hezhou dumbfounded, but all the big families in the hall were dumbfounded, and the emperor was too generous.

"Grass...... Grass people thank Your Majesty Longen, long live my emperor, long live, long live. ”

Wei Hezhou is now worried about nothing, what food, what wealth is all floating clouds, he just wants to run to his family's ancestral shrine and knock his head a few times, let his old Wei family ancestors and ancestors see, the descendants of Wei Hezhou are out of breath!

"The grass people's affairs, where is the virtue worthy of His Majesty's grace, the ministers are ashamed, ashamed."

He howled and was ashamed, but his title had changed from a grass man to a minister.

Zhu Yunwen looked funny, but those big local families of the Jiangxi Merchants Association had mixed feelings.

A provincial right senator, this is a member from the fourth grade.

The local government of the Ming Dynasty has changed the product anecdote, which was originally set up from the second product, and then changed to the second product, and felt that the product was too high to drop two levels to the third product, and now Zhu Yunwen took over, and the plate was set, so he did not change the three products.

The left and right political envoys are the three products, and the envoys are from the three products. Left and right participation in politics is four products, and left and right senators are from four products.

And now he Wei Hezhou is so green and has ascended to the sky in one step?

The big guys are looking at the eyes hot, and feel that this Wei Hezhou is too good to live, and he died at the end of his life, not to mention the inheritance of Wanguan's family property, and he just enjoyed the blessings of the landlord and the old wealth for two years, and caught up with this flood, although it flooded more than 100,000 acres of land, but the situation can be restored in only one or two years, but in exchange for a four-grade official body!

It doesn't matter if it's good, as long as it's a four-product, it's worthy of a sentence and a provincial officer!

Thinking of Yan Zhenzhi's example, the big guy looked at Wei Hezhou with a lot of awe, and now it seems that this Wei Hezhou has entered the eyes of the emperor, and in the future, Jane will be in the emperor's heart, and even if the Qingyun Ladder is built, there may not be no opportunity to set foot in the center.

Knowing this, Lao Tzu also donated all his savings.

Many people are secretly annoyed in their hearts, and their intestines are about to repent.

Anyway, the donated grain has been reimbursed by the imperial court, and the emperor who donated more money returned it to the big official, why did he be blinded by lard, and he was timid and missed such a big opportunity, it was really too late to regret it!

What's the use of money? In the final analysis, it is still an official-based country.

As if feeling the emotions of this big family, Zhu Yunwen smiled: "In addition to Wei Hezhou, you here, I also have another reward. ”

Do we have a reward?

At this time, the big guy's mood suddenly improved, and they all looked at Zhu Yunwen with blank eyes, but they were hypocritical and polite.

"Lord Wei is dedicated to the country, Your Majesty is Shengming, observe and appreciate it, where do we dare to do it."

There's something in this bunch of things.

Zhu Yunwen was amused in his heart, he sounded like he was modestly shirking, but he was the emperor in and out of his words.

"The unprecedented success of this flood relief effort depends on all of you working together with me."

Zhu Yunwen smiled, but he was also generous: "I plan to send Hanlin students to spread the word to the world about your righteous deeds, and at the same time, I invite you to Nanjing to award you the Flood Fighting Medal on the National Day next year." ”

Write a book and write a biography, and award a medal on National Day?

The group of big people in the lobby couldn't help but hold their breath, and their bodies trembled slightly with excitement.

In this era, which is not a civil and military celebrity who is qualified to deserve this kind of honor?

None of the second generations left by the founding fathers are worthy of being spread to the world.

Of course, this kind of thing is also valued by the ancients, and there will be the first good deed in later generations, which one is not overwhelming news and propaganda, and all channels of official and public voices will report it, which is really the most normal thing.

Why promote their good deeds? Because it is necessary to encourage more people to do good, and to create a social atmosphere full of positive energy.

This is indifferent in Zhu Yunwen's opinion, but it is the highest honor that the ancients of this generation can think of.

What's more, this honor is still given to these businessmen?

Although the social atmosphere has begun to dilute the barriers and gaps between these four classes, it is impossible to change the thinking of the past few thousand years.

An honor that even a soldier can't pursue, and they, the merchants, have actually obtained?

"Not only that, but I also have a reward."

Zhu Yunwen said with deep meaning: "I plan to inscribe a plaque for each of you to protect the territory and the people, so that your relatives and friends can know your achievements when they visit." ”

Protecting the land and the people?

It's a handful of people who pick them up.

Why is Zhu Yunwen so generous?

Because these four words are not only an encouragement to them, but also a sharp sword hanging over their heads, and when one day they are no longer willing to protect their land and people, this sword will cut off their heads.

Zhu Yunwen is telling them that he is also telling the world through their deeds that as long as people are willing to do the right thing, it seems that a lot of money was spent at the beginning, but the court will cover for them, not only will make up for their losses, but will also give rewards later.

And once they do something wrong, they seem to keep their pockets, but they will definitely be settled afterwards, not only will their money be confiscated, but even their heads will be gone.

It's just a pity that there is nothing wrong in this incident, and there is a lack of a typical.

But even if there is a lack of negative examples, Zhu Yunwen has to do this, because what he, the emperor, wants to do is to create a general environment to persuade people to do good.

Regardless of whether the reason for the people's goodness is out of human conscience or out of the pursuit of after-the-fact interests, a good environment is always better than a wise self-preservation.

There are many things in the country, and as the sole leader of this country, Zhu Yunwen's focus is not only on the major events that are happening in the country, but also on trying his best to cultivate a good atmosphere and environment.

A credible court, a centripetal force of the world.

A great environment that reveres good and suppresses evil.
