The next day, Gongwon.

Zhu Xu walked on the bluestone path, holding today's newspaper in his hand.

Fang Kong Shao, Shi Bangyao and a group of people followed behind, all a little uneasy.

With the Wu family, the Wang family and other respected families in Nanzhili rushing to donate family property, whether there are ghosts or ghosts in their hearts, they are all crazy, and they are scrambling to donate money and food, this picture makes Fang Kong Shao, the governor, a little frightened.

The Wu family, the Wang family and more than a dozen other families have donated thousands of acres of land, and there are hundreds of thousands of stones of grain, not to mention other shops, gold and silver, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, etc., which are of high value and terrifying!

Is this just the result of a military exercise?

No!

The emperor in front of him, the civil and military governance, the methods of governing the country, and the means of the emperor are all extremely powerful, and few people can resist.

The first page of the newspaper in Zhu Xu's hand was a huge black headline: The party fights for the country, and Donglin is a lesson.

The person who wrote is a profound foundation, quoting scriptures, expounding the essence of 'party struggle' to the fullest, and then from Gu Xiancheng's resignation, the establishment of Donglin Academy to the Donglin Party's occupation of the court, the Donglin Party carried out a spicy satire on the Donglin Party, cited the various evil consequences of the Donglin Party's abuse of power, and exposed the Donglin Party's crimes such as disaster to the country and bullying the monarch.

This article is said to be more than Shangcheng, the most important thing is to sign, there are more than 70 people, first the former head of Donglin, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Qian Qianyi of the Qincha, and then the governor of the yamen, the head of the prefects of various places, and then the patriarch of the family, the famous Confucian, almost the group of people with great influence in Nanzhili, the names are all on this!

Zhu Xu was very satisfied, only by unifying his thinking can he make great strides, closed the newspaper, and then said: "I read all the transcripts you wrote last night, they are not deep enough, they do not have enough understanding of the new policy, the recent situation of our dynasty, and the future development and governance are vague, you must seriously reflect on what the past looked like, the root causes of these evils, how to start, whether to eradicate or improve?" What are the tools that can be used? How much can be used with the old methods, and have you ever thought about the new methods......"

Qian Qianyi, Fang Kongshao and the others hurriedly followed a few steps, bowed down, and their expressions were slightly condensed.

They have always known that the emperor is difficult to get along with, and they will always mention something strange and unacceptable, but they can't accept it, and now it's their turn.

Zhu Xu came to a pavilion as he spoke, sat down, glanced at a few people, put the folding fan in his hand on the table, knocked on the table with his left hand, and said, "Yesterday, I didn't say some things because I wanted to leave them for you and tell you." ”

"Listen to the Hadith!" Qian Qianyi, Fang Kongshao and the others hurriedly raised their hands and bowed, their bodies unconsciously tense.

Zhu Xu pondered for a moment and said: "Whether it is the 'New Deal', the 'Military Politics', or others, the fundamental purpose is to build a new order, a new clan order, a noble order, a new officialdom order, an army order, a shopping mall order, a peasant political order, and so on......"

Qian Qianyi and the others all lowered their heads, quietly not daring to interject.

"First of all, officialdom,"

Zhu Xu searched for several people, and said: "'Governing the country first governing the officials' is an old saying, since ancient times, the nearly 100 years since the founding of the country have been regarded as the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, and the world is stable. I have reached the point of now, and it has reached the time of purging the doom, which can be regarded as the consensus of the people of the world, so I really don't want to say much. It's just that after going around for decades, from Zhang Juzheng to the present, not only has the rule of officials not improved in the slightest, but has fallen deeper and deeper? Why? ”

"It's all about determination! This determination is in me, but also in the world's hundreds of officials, if the world's hundreds of officials can be the same as me, determined to eradicate corruption, purge the rule of officials, I think, there is no difficulty! ”

"In the court, the six ministries of the cabinet, all of them are carefully selected ministers by me, and I am of one heart and one mind, deeply hated corruption, and determined to fight corruption, you are also elected by me, I hope that you can be determined to fight corruption like me, not like Huang Liji, snakes and rats at both ends, wavering......"

Qian Qianyi, Fang Kong Shao, Shi Bangyao and the others all changed their expressions, their temples beat slightly, and they did not speak.

The word 'anti-corruption' is easy to say, but it is not easy to do, especially in a place like Nanzhili, where the relationship network is intricate, and with more than 200 years of experience, no matter who is anti-corruption, it will eventually involve itself, because even if a person is clean, no one ensures that they have always abided by the law!

It's too hard! It's simply not feasible!

Zhu Xu didn't expect them to come to fight corruption, and after a slight pause, he said, "The imperial examination, I have always disliked it, it's not that it's not a good way to choose scholars, but it's not much good for education, it's far inferior to my academy, if you say that the world is all over the academy, you can be enlightened and enter the school when you reach the age, then my Ming will never be bad for talents!" The best of the best can be chosen, and the most important thing is that scholars do not necessarily have to be officials, the country is so big, where is there no need for scholars? The purpose of the one-minded imperial examination is not to study and popularize education. Regarding the academy and the imperial examination, you must strictly implement the policies of the imperial court, and you must not relax in the slightest! ”

"Obey the order!" Qian Qianyi and Fang Kongshao hurriedly came out of the ranks, these two things will fall on their heads, and there are not many days left for this year's imperial examination.

Zhu Xu stopped at the point, turned his head to look out, and happened to see some tall small buildings on the banks of the Qinhuai River, stretched out his finger and pointed, and said: "This green building hook fence, there is a way to exist, as an official government, it can't be handed over, just like the salt administration, it can't be forcibly promoted." This is what I call 'order', how to build a stable 'order'? So that the two banks of the Qinhuai River will not become a place of dirt and dirt, absurd and pathetic, how to make the salt administration smooth, and take care of the interests of the salt merchants, so that they will not be fiercely opposed, and chaos will arise one after another? These are the homework of you lords, how to manage, how to deal with it, this is a difficult knowledge......"

These two are sensitive topics, and the few people standing not far away all looked nervous, for fear that the emperor would point out the problem, play the board, and make a show.

"The other is the agricultural policy,"

Zhu Xu skipped this topic lightly and continued: "The common people are working in the ground, we rely on the people to feed, we can't all things be transferred to them in the end, no matter how difficult it is, we will find a way to solve the problem for the people, let them increase food and increase income, only if they have more income, the court will pay more, this is the normal cause and effect relationship, instead of forcing the people to pay grain every day, forcing them to be cornered, in addition to rebellion, can there be any other way to live?" ”

Fang Kong Shao frowned slightly, the emperor's words were right, but he was still awkward in his heart, he always felt that something was wrong, or it was in conflict with some of his established ideas.

It is not easy to let these officials really dive into doing things, and Zhu Xu can't beat him in the back with a whip in Nan Zhili, after a while, he stood up and said, "Having said so much, you may not be able to remember, but I still want to emphasize that no matter what 'order', the most important thing is that the person who executes it must be upright, treat everyone equally, and cannot be treated differently." All aspects of the New Deal are aimed at perfecting this order, so Nan Zhili must have greater determination to promote the New Deal, and to solve problems in the face of problems, not to evade it, let alone fool around......"

"Yes." Qian Qianyi and the others hurriedly raised their hands, the emperor was directly beating, and they couldn't help but do nothing in the future.

Zhu Xu glanced at a few more people, nodded slightly, Fang Kong Shao and Shi Bangyao are all reformers, I hope they can do something in Nanzhili.

He stretched out his hand and took out a piece of paperwork from his arms, handed it to Fang Kong Shao and said: "This is some of my thoughts on Nan Zhili, and the part about business, you take a closer look, ponder and ponder, and do it according to local conditions." ”

Fang Kong Shao stretched out his hand to take it and said solemnly: "Yes, the minister will not disappoint the emperor!" ”

Zhu Xu smiled and bowed his head, and secretly said that if you don't work hard, my whip will not be light.

"Let's talk so much today," Zhu Xu groaned and said, "I said too much, but the effect is not good, you can discuss the affairs of Nan Zhili, and I will watch from behind." Well...... Wait two more days and continue southward, and you will do what you want. ”

Everyone looked slightly panicked, and their hearts were relieved, and they hurriedly raised their hands and said, "The ministers obey the order." ”

Zhu Xu waved his hand and said, "You guys go, I can walk everywhere." ”

Qian Qianyi, Fang Kongshao and the others are still uneasy, the emperor may be able to get out of something if he walks casually. However, they had no choice but to raise their hands and say, "The minister retreats." ”

Zhu Xu got up, walked out of the south gate not far away, and came to the bank of the Qinhuai River, feeling a cool breeze blowing, and his mood was much better.

Even in the daytime, the Qinhuai River is full of weaving, prosperous and lively.

Zhu Xu glanced at it, and couldn't help muttering to himself, "I still have to rely on Nan Zhili to live......"

Cao Huachun followed behind Zhu Xu, listening to his words, his expression did not move, but he nodded in his heart. Indeed, more than half of the Ming Dynasty's finances came from Lainan Zhili, and the entire Ming Dynasty relied on it to sustain itself.

Pacing slowly, Zhu Xu was still thinking about Nan Zhili's affairs.

Yesterday's development exceeded his expectations, and the situation in Nan Zhili was better than he expected, but there were also more problems, and it took time to digest.

Zhu Xu thought for a while, and suddenly had a smile on his face, he had already controlled the overall situation, there was always a way to solve it, step by step.

He raised his head and said with his hands behind his back, "How is the situation in other provinces?" ”

Cao Huachun took a step forward and said, "Judging from the news from the southwest, the six provinces are promoting well, and the resistance encountered is relatively low, but the effect will not be seen for a while." Mountain. West, Jiang. West, river. Nan and others had some difficulties, and the dispute was relatively loud, almost stagnating. It's a blessing. The build is said to be good, and the basic architecture has been completed. ”

"Oh......"

Zhu Xu was quite surprised, and immediately said: "Fu. Governor Zou Weilian? I'm going to take a good look. He sent a decree to the cabinet and ordered Sun Chengzong to go out of Beijing in person to urge all localities to promote the 'new policy', and if necessary, to the local officials. ”

"Yes." Cao Huachun responded.

Zhu Xu walked for a while, and said in his heart: "How is that Gong Dingyu?" ”

Cao Huachun said: "There is no movement, the slave maid thinks that the ability is average." ”

Zhu Xu laughed and said, "An ordinary scholar, normal." In this way, let him go to the Criminal Prison Division of Nanzhili and pacify the Prison...... He also has both. ”

Cao Huachun's expression moved slightly, and then he said, "Obey the order." ”

"Boom ......"

Zhu Xu was just about to walk forward when a low cry suddenly came from in front of him.
