Chapter 294: The Old Bureaucrat Who Can't Be Moved

In time for spring ploughing, Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, took the lead and took the entire cabinet out of Beijing to play a political show of the Son of Heaven persuading farmers.

This year is the beginning of the five-year plan, and all provinces are winding up for struggle. And in this variety of plans, the task of reclamation and land reclamation is undoubtedly the heaviest, so Zhu Yunwen discussed it with Yang Shiqi and decided to do an old trick of persuading farmers.

The routine is old, as long as the effect is good.

The political standard of persuading farmers this time is not low, not to mention that Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, personally took the lead, and even Zhu Di, a scholar of Wuyingdian who rarely shows up on weekdays, also followed him to the ridges in the countryside, and the cabinet of five people was all there this time.

In order to pick a piece of land for the emperor to plough, Ying Tianfu had to find Ying Tian's local grain chief and rent a piece from the latter.

Not much, two acres of land is enough for the emperor to toss a few people.

Ying Tianfu's grain chief is naturally happy to raise his hands to welcome, such a good opportunity, on weekdays is to burn incense and worship the Buddha can not ask for it, the emperor can really do it in the ground, in the future he plans to protect these two acres of land, as a scenic spot!

"I can't just plant a field, can I use this kind of cordon with bayonets?"

Zhu Yunwen, who was dressed in simple and casual clothes, walked out of the driver's seat, looked at the already surrounded Xuantian, and scolded: "There is still a need to mobilize thousands of people, so many of them are standing here, can the surrounding people still do farm work?" It is enough for me to withdraw to the Beijing camp, and it is enough for the imperial front division to leave a hundred households of brocade guards, this is Nanjing, not Moting. ”

In these years, there is no sniper rifle, and the distance within a radius of thirty zhang is enough for Jinyiwei to empty, and if it exceeds thirty zhang, it is beyond the effective killing range of the crossbow machine, even if it can be shot, the speed is enough to shoot through the thick clothes on Zhu Yunwen's body.

As for what to do if there is an assassin holding a strong bow, it can only be said that the Jinyi guards are blind, a strong bow stands up several feet long, and in the unobstructed environment of the countryside, it can actually allow an assassin Shi Shiran to carry the bow into the emperor within thirty zhang to assassinate. Then why bother to find an assassin, it is more worry-free to directly let Jinyiwei cut the emperor with a knife.

The army retreated, Zhu Yunwen then pulled up his trouser legs, picked up a hoe from the ground, and walked into the ground with his shoulder on his shoulder.

As a human being in two lives, this is the first time Zhu Yunwen has gone to the ground!

The living conditions in his previous life were not bad, although he was born in the 80s, Zhu Yunwen really didn't suffer much, he grew up in the city when he was a child, and he really didn't understand how to plant this land.

In this life, I can't have any experience in farming, so I started to get confused when I entered the field.

"Ahem."

Hiding his embarrassment with a dry cough, Zhu Yunwen whispered to the five people beside him, "You guys, who knows what to do first?" ”

Several people couldn't help but laugh.

"Yang Shiqi, you are the first assistant of the cabinet, you speak first."

was named by the emperor, Yang Shiqi suddenly made a bitter face: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the so-called two ears don't listen to things outside the window, and only read the books of sages and sages, and the ten fingers of the minister have not even touched the spring water, where do you know how to farm." ”

"Useless is a scholar."

Muttering, Zhu Yunwen looked at Zhu Di again, and the latter waved his hand hurriedly.

"You know the minister, the minister went to war when he was young, and he only took a knife, not a hoe."

Just when Zhu Yunwen was already desperate, a person he didn't expect stood up.

Yan Zhenzhi.

"You know how to farm?"

Zhu Yunwen didn't believe it, in his thoughts, with him as the emperor, the one who shouldn't be able to farm the most among the six people was Yan Zhenzhi. The latter is the grain chief of Zhejiang, who is a big landlord who was born with a golden key, to put it mildly, Yan Zhenzhi's childhood must be more comfortable than Zhu Di.

"The minister is the chief of grain, since he is the chief of grain, he doesn't know how to farm."

Yan Zhenzhi smiled confidently and explained: "It is because the minister spent a few years in this field when he was young and knew the suffering of the people that he became this grain chief without hesitation. ”

I haven't planted the land, how can I know the suffering of the people?

Zhu Yunwen was greatly touched by these words, and hurriedly rolled up his sleeves: "It's rare that Yan Qing has this experience, come, today I and the other five people will take Qing as a teacher and learn this kind of place well." ”

The work of cultivating the land, Shuangxi originally planned to lead the oxen to come, dragging the plough and rake the ridge around, and then Zhu Yunwen, the emperor, symbolically sprinkled the seeds, and cultivating the soil is also a meaning, who knows that Zhu Yunwen has an iron head, so he has to do it himself, and he can't persuade him, so he has to rely on Zhu Yunwen.

In this way, the dignified emperor and the first-class cabinet ministers of the five cabinets, rolled up their bitter heads and waved their hoes, and worked hard in this small two-acre field.

Zhu Yunwen overestimated his own ability and underestimated the difficulty of this kind of place.

Standing in the ground, you don't think two acres of land are so big, but when you are busy, turning over the soil piece by piece, and facing the higher and higher spring days, the sweat on your forehead can't stop falling.

"Face the loess with your back to the sky."

After being busy for half an hour, Zhu Yunwen struggled to even straighten his waist, holding his waist and sighing again and again.

After sighing, he laughed again, except for him, the emperor and Zhu Di, the other four people were already sitting on the ground, looking half-dead.

In this life, who has suffered so much.

"Your Majesty, let's take a sip of water."

Shuangxi hurriedly moved a maza, but found that Zhu Yunwen didn't care about getting dirty, so he sat directly on the ground, and picked his head to pour a bowl of water.

"Pour it for a few elders."

After finishing a bowl of tea, Zhu Yunwen wiped his mouth with emotion: "It's really not easy to farm, just now I also felt that just this slap is a big piece of land, even if one person can do it easily in a day, now it's good, we are six people who are busy working for half an hour, just get such a piece, these two acres of land are estimated to be completed by the six of us at night."

Ordinary people, who work a large area by themselves, and have to plow, fertilize, and water, really have to be idle from morning to night. ”

The five of them all nodded, the height was different on weekdays, and they all felt that the grassroots people were living a good life, and they really ran down to experience the grassroots level, and only they could know the taste.

"Go, summon Ying Tianfu Yin."

Yin Chen Shao, who was guarding outside the cordon of the Jinyi Guard, was already sweating anxiously, and he looked more tired than Zhu Yunwen, the emperor who did farm work.

Can you not be tired, your heart is tired.

Seeing Zhu Yunwen turning over the ground with a hoe and a hoe, Chen Shao couldn't wait to run in to help the emperor, he might as well do it himself.

Now it was easy to see Zhu Yunwen stop and summon him, and immediately trotted all the way over.

"See..."

Before he finished his words, he was interrupted by Zhu Yunwen raising his hand: "You are wearing red and purple, and you are wearing a luxurious shirt, so don't be polite." ”

Zhu Yunwen was still wearing coarse clothes and linen pants, of course he was joking, but Chen Shao was so frightened that he almost cried, and he was at a loss.

"Find a clean place to sit on yourself, and I'll ask you a few words."

At this time, where is Chen Shao still in the mood to choose a place, and he doesn't care about the mud behind him that he usually looks at, he just sits down cross-legged and waits for Zhu Yunwen's next words.

"If I hadn't come to do farm work today, I wouldn't have known that the work of this common man on weekdays is so tiring."

Looking at the faint bloodshot grinding in his palm, Zhu Yunwen sighed: "Who knows that Chinese food on the plate, every grain is hard, this poem I have never had too deep understanding, today is a vivid life lesson, enough to remember for a lifetime." ”

"Your Majesty has a heart for the common people, minister..."

"I'm talking to you about business, where did you get so much nonsense."

Zhu Yunwen was feeling it now, and when he saw that Chen Shao was still playing bureaucratic here, he immediately glared angrily: "If you don't want to sit and reply, just kneel and reply." ”

Xie Jin, who was sitting behind Chen Shao, couldn't help but laugh, this Chen Shao didn't have any eyes at all, and he wouldn't pick a time to pat himself.

If this is a change of position and let Yang Shiqi be the Yin of Yingtianfu, people will definitely follow the emperor's words and lament the difficulties of the people, so that they can find a common topic with the emperor.

"The people are the cornerstone of the country, and only when the people live a good life can our country live a good life. Therefore, the work of the local government must take the people to live a good life as the starting point, which is your work mission as a grassroots parent official, instead of sitting on the bright hall all day long, patting the shocking wood at every turn, hitting this killing stick, beating that killing stick. ”

Zhu Yunwen looked up at the sun in the sky, the sun of Lichun was warm, but it also had three points of power.

"Now that I and the cabinet have set a five-year plan, if we want to complete it, after all, we still have to give full play to the power of the people, otherwise just rely on me, the emperor, and rely on you officials, how can millions of hectares of land be cultivated in this world?

Without relying on the people, how to repair the Beijing Road from Nanjing to Xi'an? How to strengthen the embankment of the Yangtze River?

Therefore, you should think carefully about how you can encourage the enthusiasm of the people to the greatest extent and give full play to their strength.

I asked the cabinet to sign a military order, and the cabinet also asked you to sign a military order, and those who completed it will be rewarded, and those who fail to complete it will be punished, so it is the people who are working hard for your promotion to the rank of knight, and the relationship between local officials and the people is complementary to each other.

If the people have completed the plan, you will be promoted, but if the people cannot complete the plan, you will be dismissed.

Therefore, where are you rulers without the people?

You have to understand the relationship between the people and the officials, you have to rely closely on the people, and play a good leading role.

As a result, if you look at what you do in your work, do you know that you are lying in the government all day long to eat and drink?

The five-year plan is not the end, the five years are completed, we will have the next five years, I am strong, need to make long-term unremitting efforts to achieve, and in this process, the most needed is the people to carry forward the tenacity of the 'Yugong to move mountains' and the pioneering spirit of hard work.

Where the people are uneducated and do not understand, you grassroots parents and officials need to carry out propaganda and encouragement, do something simple for the people, and you can help within your ability. ”

In these years, the officials of the Ming Dynasty are not even willing to shout slogans.

If you're lazy like this, what else can you expect them to do?

Chen Shao only felt that he could hear it in a fog, Zhu Yunwen's words were so straightforward, but he didn't understand a word.

According to his thoughts, the emperor should say something like spring and white snow, Qu Gao and widow, standing on the clouds to express how to be cloudy, and then he praised the emperor for saying that he was from a lofty position, loving the people like a son, everyone got up and patted their butts and left, isn't this over?

It's good now, the emperor is really down-to-earth.

The meaning of these words, why do we, who are officials, turn around and serve the people of Qianshou?

They don't farm, what do they eat!

Even if he didn't understand it in his heart, Chen Shao still hurriedly said: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, the ministers will keep it in mind and immediately make corresponding arrangements, and they will definitely give full play to the strength of the people and strive for the comprehensive success of the five-year plan." ”

"This official who reads the books of sages is too floating."

Zhu Yunwen sighed in his heart, he could see at a glance how empty Chen Shao's expression was, because of the disdain that flashed by him, he had seen it too many times in his memory.

Ancient scholars were not grounded, reading things such as "Those who want to be clear and virtuous in the world will rule their country first; Those who want to rule their country must first gather their families; Those who want to gather their families must first cultivate their bodies. When they become officials, they have nothing to do with the grassroots at all.

The simplest truth is that if there is only one person in a country, that person is the emperor.

But who is this emperor going to lead?

When he can't even lead a dog, isn't it too ridiculous to still hold the word emperor on his head?

The emperor was like that, and so were the officials.

Society is a pyramid, the spire is the spire, because there is the existence of the bottom of the tower, and when the bottom of the tower collapses, the middle group of the original tower becomes the bottom of the tower, and then collapses layer by layer, and finally the spire becomes the bottom of the tower.

The method of stabilizing the rule is, in the eyes of the ancients, to play with the suppression and intimidation of life, to make the bottom of the tower honest, they are so comfortable to exploit and squeeze, and they do not care about the bottom of the tower loosening and collapsing.

The best way to do this is to enlarge the base of the tower.

The wider the bottom of the tower, the stronger it is, the more stable these buildings that live on the upper floor of the tower.

"I'm tired, let's go back to the palace."

Disappointing Chen Shao, Zhu Yunwen got up and left, and the five members of the cabinet followed closely, but this movement scared Chen Shao into a cold sweat, and cautiously asked his fellow Zhejiang villager Yan Zhenzhi in the back.

"Pavilion Elder, is there something that Xia Guan said just now?"

Yan Zhenzhi frowned and glared at him: "You'd better handle the current errand with peace of mind, if Nan Zhili has a moth in the First Five-Year Plan, I will kill you alive." ”

Returning to the wide wheel, Zhu Yunwen changed his clothes and sighed at the five people: "I am very disappointed, these officials say anything to listen to the hadith at every turn, and let me, the monarch, teach them, but now it's good, they don't listen to what I say, they don't understand it, they don't understand it, they may not do it if they understand, and they are afraid of doing it wrong in the future, how difficult it is." ”

In the carriage, there was a dumb smile.

The emperor has been painstakingly teaching them how to stabilize the country's fundamentals and make the country strong and prosperous, but it is clear that sometimes even if the emperor himself paves the way for them, they don't know how to climb this step.

No wonder the emperor was obsessed with education.

If there is no education, no study, and people who still have this kind of inherent thinking will serve as officials, then the country will inevitably go around in the same place for thousands of years.

The emperor is the guide and leader of the direction, but to promote the progress of the country, it is countless middle and low-level officials like Chen Shao, they are in every corner of the country, each leading the local people, they don't know how to do things, and the emperor alone can drag the country far.
