Chapter Seventy-Three: Family Affairs, State Affairs, and World Affairs

Emperor Hongzhi was surprised, he should immediately start to change the land and return to the stream, isn't this your Fang Jifan's suggestion? Why is it that it is not good now?

Even Liu Jian and Li Dongyang frowned, looking like they were willing to hear it.

Fang Jifan smiled: "If you rashly change the land and return to the stream, the prefectures of Yunnan and Guizhou will definitely rebel again, and the rebellion is bound to be even greater." Has Your Majesty ever thought that for thousands of years, the natives have been attached to the Tusi, and these hereditary Tusi have supreme authority in the village, even if His Majesty implements the reform of the land and gives the natives favors, will the natives really believe in the imperial court? At that time, they only need to be instigated by Toast, and they will still have to rebel. ”

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, nodded thoughtfully: "Quite reasonable." ”

"So......" Fang Jifan's eyes flashed with cunning, and the thief smiled: "Before changing the land and returning to the stream, you must first cover the news, and at the same time, after the rebellion is quelled, the first thing to do is to inform the natives everywhere, saying that the officers and soldiers who are quelling the rebellion are ready to pull out, and a large amount of military food is inconvenient to transport, Your Majesty is particularly gracious, and will reward the natives with the excess military rations, and all the natives, as long as they go to the garrison in various places, only by virtue of their identity, they can receive twenty catties of grain and one catty of salt per person." ”

Fang Jifan continued: "At that time, as long as there are local people coming, the garrisons in various places must not do anything, how many people come, how much grain and salt ...... are distributed."

"After a few months, Your Majesty issued another decree, saying that he heard that the natives had received grain and salt, and was elated, and His Majesty was overjoyed, and remembered the hardships of the natives, and sent another grain ......."

"The toasts only thought that the army of the imperial court was ready to withdraw, and this was His Majesty's will, so they must not interfere, after all, the rebellion had just been quelled, and many of the toasts were still apprehensive, and they only hoped that the army of the imperial court would withdraw as soon as possible. As for the natives below, if they have grain and salt, why not do it, and naturally they will not get in the way. ”

When Fang Jifan said this, he smiled: "And then, you can make an order to change the land and return to the stream, Your Majesty issued an order, saying that it is sympathetic to the hardships of the Tusi, and I heard that the Tusi have a lot of land, and I heard that the Tusi are the same as Your Majesty, they all love the people like children, Your Majesty has discussed with the Tusi, to take the land of the Tusi, distribute the Tusi, and Your Majesty commends the righteous deeds of the Tusi, and naturally wants to add officials to them, but this additional official is an official position, and it needs to be transferred to Tuzhou and placed in other places. In this way, those toasts and local officials must be caught off guard and are bound to oppose it, but they ...... Is it still useful for them to oppose it? ”

"Your Majesty has bathed the natives in the emperor's grace by releasing grain again and again, and most importantly, the natives are convinced that your Majesty will do what he says, and if he says to give grain, he will give grain, and if he says he will give salt, he will give him salt, and he will not give any discount, which is enough to make the natives believe that His Majesty's promise to give them land will be done in words and deeds, and there will be no discount."

"At that time, why did this group of toasts confront the officials and the army, and why did they resist the order? Can they incite the natives to resist the emperor's division of the land? Your Majesty, this is the way to long-term peace and stability, and these axes will be successful if they go down and change the land and return to the stream. ”

This guy ...... It's sinister.

Especially the food and salt that came first, and it is indeed eye-catching to use such small favors and small favors as a letter.

Liu Jian and the three of them were thoughtful, and they seemed to be thinking about whether it was right to change the land and return to the river in this way.

After all, this is a major national policy of the imperial court for the southwest, and any negligence may lead to great consequences.

Emperor Hongzhi was even more anxious, he put his hands behind his back and was silent.

After a long time, Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jian: "Liu Qing's family, what do you think?" ”

Liu Jian was about to talk about it in his heart, but at this time, someone said: "Erchen thinks it's the best." ”

Everyone looked at the source of the sound, and it was Zhu Houzhao who spoke.

"......" Emperor Hongzhi was a little annoyed.

Adults talk, what is the matter with your little fart, this is a national policy, you haven't read a few books yet, and you dare to make a big fuss.

Of course, the reason why Emperor Hongzhi is angry is because his son has no position, you are the prince, the dignified prince, you have no opinions, just because you have a good relationship with Fang Jifan, you came to join in the fun, national events, how can you allow child's play?

Seeing his father's face gloomy, Zhu Houzhao suddenly felt empty, recently, his father had never given him a good look, just now he just felt it, who expected to provoke his father's displeasure, so he immediately made a very aggrieved appearance of his son, trying his best to make himself look harmless to humans and animals, and his eyes were innocent.

Fang Jifan bared his teeth in his heart, the actor's self-cultivation, it's a pity that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't go to the entertainment industry.

Emperor Hongzhi said coldly: "What, what else does Wu'er have to say?" ”

In these words, there was clearly a thorn, and he was going to beat Fang Jifan today, but Fang Jifan's kid was greatly beyond his expectations, which made Emperor Hongzhi appreciate this kid even more.

But it's a little embarrassing to raise the stick high and not fight it, okay, it's up to you now, if you don't beat other people's children, then you have to clean up your own son.

Zhu Houzhao already smelled something bad, and hurriedly said, "Erchen...... Erchen thought that the change of land and return to the river was bound to be successful, and the reason why this was so was because whether it was the native people or the ordinary people, for them, who could make them eat and drink enough, and who could give them a full mouthful of food, so that they could multiply, this is a great thing. The toasts control the natives, and by their prestige alone, they seem to be airtight and united. But the people and the natives, only for food and clothing, who make them fed and clothed, is the greatest kindness, so the retainers are convinced, Fang Jifan's change of land and return to the stream, as long as the court is implemented, the hearts of the natives must be towards the court, just a group of toasts, just obey, if not, just a decree, a messenger, a few warriors, can teach them to become prisoners. Father, the heart of the small people, is different from us. ”

“……”

Suddenly, the warm pavilion was quiet again.

The worried Emperor Hongzhi and the three cabinet scholars were already full of surprise on their faces.

These words, if they were said by others, may be very commonplace, but it is really surprising that they came out of the mouth of the prince.

Even Emperor Hongzhi couldn't imagine that his son, who was usually smart but used to being pampered, would say such a thing.

And this explanation is indeed enough to convince the public.

However, there is no difference between the local people and the ordinary people, at least the vast majority of people, as long as they are well fed and clothed, they are enough to be grateful to Dade, the so-called peaceful and prosperous world, isn't it that everyone has food to eat, everyone has clothes to wear?

Emperor Hongji understood these truths, and the cabinet ministers should also understand them.

Can...... Prince...... Why do you understand?

Zhu Houzhao's words made Emperor Hongzhi suddenly come out of the haze of Guizhou, with a relieved smile on his face, and his whole body was indescribably comfortable.

What happened in Guizhou was serious, but after all, it did not shake the country's foundation. And the crown prince is the prince of the country and the future of the Ming Dynasty, he has such insight, and he can still understand the suffering of the people, which is ...... What a relief.

But immediately, Emperor Hongzhi's heart couldn't help sinking, something was wrong......

Didn't Fang Jifan teach Zhu Houzhao to say this?

He pretended to be careless: "Someone taught you this, right?" ”
