Boarding a simple pier, the sound of reading can be heard in the distance.

As soon as he heard this voice, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly had a familiar feeling, and his face, which was still flat, involuntarily showed a smile of Hexi.

He couldn't help but turn around and asked, "There are still people studying here?" ”

"Yes." Fang Jifan said: "The prince's protégé Zhang Yuanxi, although he is good at archery, but his legs and feet are inconvenient, he can't pick his shoulders and his hands can't lift, but after all, he is a big living person, and it's not that he can't use it, so His Royal Highness the prince built a shed here and let him teach some children to read here." ”

When Zhang Sheng heard this, his eyes suddenly changed! My son is here! was so excited that he said with his eyebrows fluttering: "Wu'er...... He is also a teacher. Your Majesty, you might as well go and have a look. ”

"Next time." Emperor Hongji also wanted to see it, but ...... He doesn't have that in mind right now.

It is a very bad environment, but you can see the fields that have been reclaimed in the distance, and the embankments along the river are continuous.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned, looking at the countless thieves who bent down to clear the dredging here, but all of them were yellow-skinned and ragged, he couldn't help but say: "This is the thief of Poyang Lake?" ”

Fang Jifan nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

This one...... It's completely different from what Emperor Hongji imagined.

Emperor Hongzhi was surprised and said, "I thought they were very cruel." ”

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, in fact, they are just a group of homeless people, they really had no way to live, so they entered Poyang Lake as thieves, but to put it bluntly, they are a group of landless farmers, these farmers are very pitiful, worse than military households, King Ning is relying on these, he wants to use them to make trouble, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said...... Then he said......"

Emperor Hongji listened very carefully, and he was very interested in what the crown prince wanted to say.

Seeing Fang Jifan's stumbling appearance, he couldn't help asking, "What do you say?" ”

Fang Jifan wanted this effect, so he said: "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said that there are no thieves in the world, the so-called thieves are just poor people who are coerced by people with intentions, and are oppressed by the government, and their lives are unsustainable. ”

Fang Jifan laughed in his heart, these words were actually what he wanted to say, to be honest, Fang Jifan is a person with three views, and the most unsightly thing is the poor, watching these old Jiangxi cousins lose their land and have to be thieves, this is ...... But it is still known as the land of fish and rice, so it can be imagined that the annexation of land and the exploitation of the government have reached such a point that our successor can endure it?

Of course, if you directly scold the Manchu Dynasty civil and military, it will be too hateful, and the Fang family will have to make friends in the future.

Now that his children are coming out, he has to accumulate some virtue for his children and leave a good popularity.

Emperor Hongzhi frowned and said, "He really said that. ”

Fang Jifan said sincerely: "The minister also advised him not to be too radical, but His Highness is a jealous and hateful person. ”

Ma Wensheng and others behind him were all very embarrassed, and Wang Zhen, the governor of Jiangxi, was even more numb.

Emperor Hongzhi seemed to notice the embarrassment faced by the ministers, and said, "The people have no land, so why don't they rent it?" ”

Fang Jifan said: "Since Emperor Taizu Gao, the fields in the world have not increased much, but the population has increased several times, in the past, renting land could have a bite to eat, but now it is difficult to eat, not to mention that large families often hide their land and do not have to pay food, but small households, taxes are heavier, a small disaster is a small disaster, people can't live, being a thief is better than starving to death." ”

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this, but if you are entangled in this, it is difficult to continue, and Emperor Hongzhi is silent.

Fang Jifan said: "As for sweet potatoes and potatoes, here in Jiangxi, the promotion is not timely enough, so ......"

Wang Zhen sweated profusely and said: "Your Majesty, this is not the negligence of the ministers, but the madness of King Ning, who hinders everywhere." So many people were forced by him to be thieves, and King Ning died. ”

Fang Jifan continued: "I also heard that there are gentry near Poyang Lake who have infringed on people's land, and some people have even forced them to become prostitutes...... Resold to Nanjing. ”

The king wiped his sweat in shock, and hurriedly said: "King Ning is not as good as pigs and dogs, to backing up some gentry, and the ministers are really beyond the reach of the whip." ”

Fang Jifan continued: "But the thieves you are talking about here, which one of them has a miserable life experience behind them, Jiangnan is the land of fish and rice, and it is so bad." ”

"King Ning is perverse, people and gods are angry, the minister must search for King Ning's crimes and expose them." Wang Zhen said busily.

Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "So, they are not thieves?" ”

Wang Zhen was stunned for a moment, but he looked at Fang Jifan looking at himself with a smile, he knew that the current affairs were handsome, so he had to grit his teeth and say, "Your Majesty, minister...... It's really a misunderstanding, these poor people, where are the thieves, are the result of King Ning's perverse behavior, it can be seen how shameless and despicable this King Ning is, and heaven and earth will not tolerate it. ”

But as he spoke, he saw in the distance, Zhu Houzhao was already trotting.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao from a distance, and his heart couldn't help but warm!

When Zhu Houzhao arrived in front of him, Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath, but when Zhu Houzhao was about to bow down, Emperor Hongzhi finally couldn't help but feel a fire in his heart!

You guy, you just walked away!

He subconsciously said, "Little brute...... Good things you do. ”

Zhu Houzhao was already bowing down like a flowing cloud, and said: "Let my father worry, my son will die." ”

"......" Emperor Hongzhi was stunned for a moment, his old face turned red, and he put away his anger and said: "Find a clean place and say." ”

"There's no clean place here." Zhu Houzhao said: "But my father might as well come to the residence of the son, the son's place is quite clean." ”

As he spoke, he led Emperor Hongzhi and his ministers to a tent, which was near the rocks, where it was half clean, and when he got in, there was only a bed made of straw.

Zhu Houzhao took the rice stalk very casually, spread it directly, and let Emperor Hongzhi sit down.

Emperor Hongzhi didn't think too much, but said: "This time, you have done a good job of King Zhuning, and I am very relieved." ”

Rare...... The father actually praised himself, Zhu Houzhao was so happy that his eyebrows fluttered, and he said happily: "The main thing is that the father's teachings are good on weekdays." ”

Emperor Hongzhi wanted to drink tea and lick his mouth, his subtle movements, Xiao Jing looked at it carefully, and immediately understood what His Majesty meant, and couldn't help but say, "Is there tea here?" ”

"Nope." Zhu Houzhao said.

“……”

Zhu Houzhao explained: "I came in a hurry, and I didn't prepare tea, so I'll ask Ergouzi later, and let him ask people." ”

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao dressed as an ordinary person, like a mud monkey coming out of the ground, but he also knew that this was a Western theory, and he paid attention to the so-called empathy, and then looked at the spotless Wang Zhen, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but he said: "Renshou and Kunning Palaces, if you know that you are messing around here, I don't know how worried you should be, so ...... You are earnest, I can be considerate, but you can't jump around like a monkey, you know? ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "Father, it's no wonder that the sons and daughters are also deceived by others. ”

"Huh?" Emperor Hongzhi was stunned: "Who deceived you, Jifan?" ”

Zhu Houzhao said categorically: "Liu Jin! ”

"......" Emperor Hongzhi pulled down his face: "He is dead." ”

Fang Jifan thought on the side, if Liu Jin was still alive, it was estimated that the prince would frame him, and his conscience would be uneasy.

It's really timely to die now, and I don't even have the burden of conscience.

Zhu Houzhao said: "At the beginning, Erchen didn't want to come to Jiangxi, but Liu Jin always said in front of Erchen that it was a pity that Erchen didn't come. ”

This kind of thing can't tell the truth from the false, anyway, Liu Jin has no one alive or dead, and there is nothing to prove it, so he still doesn't let him Zhu Houzhao arrange it?

Emperor Hongzhi had decided not to pursue it any longer, so he said: "I came to look for you this time to take you back to Beijing, and there are local officials to settle the affairs here, so you don't have to bother." ”

Zhu Houzhao said with a bitter face: "But the ministers are here." ”

Emperor Hongzhi said: "I am here, after a few days of inspection, then you will return to Beijing with me, you are the crown prince, how can you act so rashly?" What's more, you still scolded the ministers of the temple, you are the prince, they and you have the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, you must not do this. ”

Zhu Houzhao had no choice but to reluctantly say: "Erchen knows." ”

The king smiled and said, "Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, how can they live in this muddy field?" Now His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have met, and the ministers are also happy to see it, so you might as well ask Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to move to Nanchang Mansion City, I heard that Your Majesty is here with the Holy Drive, and the offerings to Nanchang Mansion have already been prepared. ”

Emperor Hongzhi only glanced at Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao said: "If the palace doesn't go, the palace has to finish a major event here before leaving." ”

"Big ......"

The so-called big thing...... It's about building bridges.

This is a bridge across the Gan River.

In this era, this is almost an impossible bridge to complete, after all, the narrowest part of the Ganjiang River, even from the Tengwang Pavilion to the west bank, there are some small islands washed out by the river in the middle, but such a long distance is really unimaginable.

But Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan wanted to give it a try.

I heard that a bridge was going to be built.

Emperor Hongzhi was also stunned, he asked Ma Wensheng who accompanied him, Ma Wensheng and others shook their heads: "Your Majesty, this is categorically not feasible, the surface of the Ganjiang River is too wide, if bridges can be built here, won't most of the rivers in the world be able to build bridges?" ”

In this era, if it is a small river, it is okay to build a bridge, but a river of such a scale as the Ganjiang River, it is really hateful to build a bridge, but if it can really be repaired, I don't know...... How many people can be benefited.
