Chapter 80: The Theory of Vitality
Zhu Changyuan secretly scolded himself for the crepe pretending to be the crepe he had to say, accidentally caught the handle, smiled bitterly and was about to justify, but heard a "haha" laugh from behind. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoγLatest chapter readingγ
"General Zhu doesn't need to be modest."
It was a big white fat man who spoke, Hong Chengchou.
"At the beginning, Liaodong made Huang Taiji disgraced, and attacked Sun Moon Island, captured Shenyang Wei, and destroyed Huang Taiji's water division." Hong Chengchou laughed as he spoke, and after laughing, he continued: "The old man is still a false rumor in the world, and he invisibly exaggerates the general's military exploits. When the general took Sun Xiaofeng of Fang County with only 200 cavalry in Xiangyang City, broke Zhang Xianzhong's 100,000 army, and then chased and slaughtered Zhang Xianzhong all the way to the slaughter with only two people along the river, the old man knew that the general was very human! β
"The general is also a hero of the world, what strategy do you have for the people and thieves in Shaanxi, and everyone will contribute to the Ming Dynasty!" Hong Chengchou's face showed a smile that didn't say you didn't understand, and said: "With the talent of a general, it is impossible to have no insight!" β
I'm your uncle.
Zhu Changyuan was simply drunk in his heart, but, to be honest, he had just wandered out of the world, and he really didn't have any insight.
"Uncle Huang!" Chongzhen also looked at him with a smile and said, "Could it be that Uncle Huang still doesn't want to teach?" β
I rub!
Zhu Changyuan's head was full of 10,000 grass and mud horses, and he said in his heart that this is good, if you don't say it, you have to say it, otherwise the emperor will think that he is harboring evil intentions, but, Nima, what am I talking about?
Follow the crowd, say that Hong Chengchou is good, say that it is good to kill people, and it is better to kill the people in Shaanxi.
It's understandable to say this, but Zhu Changyuan is a little reluctant, first, he can't bear to kill these defenseless good people.
If you say that killing 12,000 or 12,000 can solve the problem, you will kill it. But Zhu Changyuan knew that if he wanted to completely quell the rebellion in Shaanxi, he would have to kill all the mobs in Shaanxi.
Furthermore. Zhu Changyuan didn't like Hong Chengchou, maybe it was a preconceived idea, knowing that sooner or later this thing would have to be a second minister to surrender to Huang Taiji, maybe he didn't like Hong Chengchou's appearance. Anyway, it's awkward to look at this thing.
Discussing politics with an awkward person, it would be strange if you could n get into a pot.
"Your Majesty! Don't dare! Zhu Changyuan hurriedly kowtowed, then stood up and said to Hong Chengchou with a wry smile: "Dare to ask Governor Hong, according to your killing strategy, when will Shaanxi be peaceful?" β
Hong Chengchou smiled. After thinking about it again, he said: "If you kill a hundred examples, no one will rebel, if no one is obedient, the world will be decided!" β
is talking about killing a group of people, and then the people behind are afraid, so they don't dare to follow Li Zicheng to make trouble, Li Zicheng has no capital, so naturally the world will be peaceful.
Doesn't that sound polite?
Of course it is polite, if no one follows Li Zicheng. Naturally, the world is peaceful.
But Hong Chengchou said this, which is pure nonsense.
Shaanxi has no harvest every year, the common people eat Guanyin soil hungry, and folk cannibalism is not uncommon. It is said that thirteen-year-old children in Shaanxi do not dare to leave the adults, otherwise, they will really be lost and cannot be recovered.
It stands to reason that how can a thirteen-year-old child be lost, and how can he not come back if he leaves his parents!
However, it's true, really lost. If you lose it, you can't come back.
The miserable situation is like this, and it is a joke to expect everyone to follow Li Zicheng!
"Your Excellency!" Zhu Changyuan smiled slightly, and bowed his hand slightly towards Hong Chengchou. Then he said: "As far as the lower officials know, except for Weishui and Hetao, the rest of the land is almost unharvested every year, and the people are not enough to eat and wear, and hunger is everywhere, but is the truth? β
"Yes!" Hong Chengchou's face suddenly became serious. nodded heavily and said, "But it's the truth!" β
This kind of thing, it is almost impossible to hide the Son of Heaven, not to mention that Chongzhen is not a mediocre person, just those brocade guards of the Ming Empire, what is the big thing in the world that they can't understand!
Therefore, Hong Chengchou could not be fooled, sighed, and said: "Not only that, it is the land of Hetao and Weishui, although the drought can be avoided, how can the locust plague be resisted?" Even this fertile land has not been harvested for several years. β
"Then dare to ask my lord, what do the people of Shaanxi eat now?" Zhu Changyuan asked again.
"Or the imperial court receives alms, or the stock of rich households, or, or." Hong Chengchou gritted his teeth, took a deep breath and continued: "Or go against the flow of self-determination and loyalty, rob homes and houses, and find a glimmer of life." β
To be honest, Hong Chengchou knew that saying this might make the emperor unhappy, but this was the truth and there was nothing to hide.
"When the people have no food, they will rebel and become thieves, and with Lord Hong's strategy, how long will they be killed?"
Zhu Changyuan continued to ask rhetorically.
"One man kills another!"
Hong Chengchou's iron fist is beyond doubt.
"I'm afraid that the governor of Hong will have to slaughter all the Shaanxi people before he can put an end to this disaster." Zhu Changyuan sighed, arched his hand towards Hong Chengchou, and said.
Hong Chengchou was speechless, neither speaking nor denying.
Of course, as Zhu Changyuan said, if you don't kill all the Shaanxi people, I'm afraid you really can't level Li Zicheng, even if you kill Li Zicheng one day, then there will be Zhang Zicheng and Liu Zicheng coming out, when will they be killed?
"Since Chang Yuan doesn't agree with the old man's strategy, isn't there another clever way?" Hong Chengchou asked.
Zhu Changyuan thought for a while and said: "I can't talk about the clever method, but when I read a book a few days ago next day, I heard the ancients say: people-oriented." If there is no one in Shaanxi, what is the use of asking for land? It is filled in the future, and the blood is exhausted for thousands of miles, and who dares to go? β
"People-oriented?" After listening to Zhu Changyuan's words, Chongzhen pondered for a while, and asked Zhu Changyuan suspiciously: "Which book of sages is Uncle Huang reading, and why have I never heard of it?" β
"That's right!" Yang Sichang also cast a puzzled look, and said: "Although the old man doesn't dare to say that he has read the books of sages and sages, he has also been poor in classics, and he has never heard of any people-oriented words!" β
After speaking, he looked at the rest of the ministers suspiciously, and saw that they all shook their heads.
No one knew!
Zhu Changyuan suddenly ran over his head with another 10,000 grass and mud horses running wildly, with a rather embarrassed face, and said four words to Chongzhen and the minister: "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"
"Poof!"
Well, in the Ming Dynasty, the full name was "Popular Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but when Zhu Changyuan said this, everyone still understood
Three kingdoms? Three kingdoms?
Nimana is a novel, isn't that a sage book?
In this way, many people think of the source of people-oriented.
Chongzhen leaned back and fell back with a smile, pointed at Zhu Changyuan and said: "Some time ago, I heard rumors in the market that Aiqing didn't know how to write pen and ink, and some of the characters were written. Hehe. β
Speaking of this, he suddenly felt that it was not good for a king to laugh at his courtiers like this, but Zhu Changyuan was uneducated, and Chongzhen was very happy.
For the hair?
If you don't have culture, you're a big boss!
"Uh-uh!" Zhu Changyuan's face turned red, and he said with a smile: "Weichen said it another way." After thinking about it, he said: "People are spiritual creatures between heaven and earth, if they are injured too hard in a certain place and die too much, it will hurt the vitality of the entire dynasty!" β
"Once the vitality is injured, for example, if the internal organs of a person are injured, although it can also restore some functions, it is difficult to reach the peak after all, so I think that if you want to solve the problem of Shaanxi, people are the key, and food is the fundamental."
"No matter how you fight or kill, you can't solve the problem. They are all symptomatic but not curative. Zhu Changyuan gradually twisted his head to Chongzhen, bowed, and said: "Your Majesty, imagine that if the people of the world can have food to eat and clothes to wear, they will be hungry and full, and they will not pin their heads to the waistband of their trousers to rebel!" β
After Zhu Changyuan finished speaking, the court was silent.
Chongzhen was silent, the ministers were silent, and Yang Sichang's eyes were shining, but he still didn't speak after all.
Could it be that I said it so well that it scared the hell out of them? Stunned?
Zhu Changyuan thought.
However, the next moment, he knew he was wrong.
Because remarks and opinions like his have been brought up 800 years ago.
And it was not only proposed, but also supported and even put into practice by the imperial court.
Sure enough, with the support of money and food, no one rebelled in Shaanxi, and all the leaders of the rebellion were decisively abandoned by the peasants and became a lonely person.
However, the results were not encouraging.
The reason is very simple, a million taels of silver, after eating, it is still like that.
How much does the imperial court pay each year?
How can we afford to feed the hungry people in a province in Shaanxi, besides, there is more than one hungry person in Shaanxi!
As a result, the pacification failed, the huge amount of money wasted by the imperial court was useless, and then, the guy who made this assertion, was exiled, and it was suddenly ended on the way to exile.
"Where does the food come from?" Chongzhen simply said four words, and he already seemed a little excited.
This kind of assertion cannot be implemented without new ideas.
The key to solving the problem in Shaanxi is grain, Shaanxi has not harvested grain for many years, not to mention farmers, even those large households who used to have stock, and there is not much stock left in the family, not to mention that the imperial court has no money, and Nima cannot buy grain even if he has money.
Therefore, Chongzhen's question is almost a dead knot!
"One is lucky, the other is self-produced!" Zhu Changyuan arched his hand and said: "In the land of Jiangnan, if the rice of the entire Jiangnan can be transported all the way to Ankang and Hanzhong through the Yangtze River and the Han River, and then transported to Chang'an by the Daoxun River, the urgent need in the customs can be solved." β
"Then, at the cost of grain, lure the people to join it, so that they can reclaim the Weishui River Loop, and then they can produce their own products, and so on, within three years, the rebellion in Shaanxi will be peaceful."
"Shaanxi is flat, Henan Sichuan is not suffering from ringworm scabies!"
"Dreaming!" Hong Chengchou flicked his sleeves and said, "Chang Yuan, he's still too young, whimsical!" He first laughed at it, and then said: "Even if there is grain in the land south of the Yangtze River, it is feasible to transport it from the Yangtze River, but the Han River is rugged and difficult to walk, and I don't know how long it takes to transport it to the land of Hanzhong!" β
"Besides, if you go to the Han River and enter the Xun River, you won't be able to reach Chang'an."
It is true that Xunhe can't reach Chang'an, but can only go to the southern foot of Zhongnan Mountain, which is still a hundred miles away from Chang'an, and it is full of mountain roads, rugged and difficult to walk. (To be continued.) )
