Chapter 764: Local Reflection (I)

After Wang Guorui announced his withdrawal from the court, the various bills discussed in the court just now were gradually passed and sent by telegram to the locality. Now that the telegraph is convenient, and wireless telegraphy has become widespread all over the world, it will soon be possible to issue a telegram, and it will take less than three hours for the central authorities to let local officials across the country know what decisions and orders the central government has. If you need to, you can be ready to announce the policy within 24 hours, and then you can start publishing the policy the next day.

These policies were supposed to be submitted to the parliament for consideration, but the parliament has not yet been formed, so everything can be passed directly. And when everyone heard the central government's decision, the people of Quanzhou and Taipei also felt a little lost.

"Why didn't the emperor set up our Quanzhou as a municipality directly under the central government? In this way, we will really have face when we say it in the future, this is the birthplace of the true dragon emperor! Some Quanzhou people said disappointedly.

In ancient China, there has always been an idea of returning to his hometown with wealth, and Xiang Yu did not return to his hometown because of his wealth, just like the nursery rhyme of brocade clothes walking at night, and he was made to move the capital back to his hometown immediately, and finally to a certain extent, he was defeated. Later, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was even more excessive, originally planned to directly locate Fengyang as the capital regardless of the situation, and even allocated funds to build it for several years. In the end, he had to be forced by the situation and set the capital in Nanjing. And this kind of situation of returning home after being rich and rich, even in later generations, is not a lot. Some people even simply slapped their swollen faces to make them fat, and then borrowed some luxury car or something to return to their hometown. In the end, not only did he break his fortune, but he also gained face.

However, as the emperor's hometown, he naturally feels that his face is shining, and he feels that his identity is different. It's the emperor's hometown. According to the usual officials, the emperor's hometown or the land of Longxing was to be used as an increase in treatment and rank, but now Wang Guorui not only did not improve their status, but rejected it. This made many people in Quanzhou not understand, obviously not very happy, thinking that Wang Guorui, the emperor, did not pay much attention to his hometown.

"Folks. The emperor is the emperor of the people of the world, not the emperor of the people of Quanzhou. The emperor said that the whole of China is their hometown. Not only Quanzhou is his hometown, although Quanzhou is the place where he was born and raised, but as the head of a country, he must have the world in mind, and he can't just take care of the people of Quanzhou. And the emperor also ordered that it was the people of Quanzhou who supported his growth, so he naturally couldn't go without returns. So the emperor paid 50,000 yuan out of his own pocket. It is used to subsidize the elderly, the young, the sick, the disabled, the widowed, the widowed and the lonely. And those who are unemployed can also be sent to participate in vocational skills training, which can be regarded as having a bit of the craft to make a living, and it can be regarded as a return for giving birth to Quanzhou, the emperor. “

Some people who thought they had some culture began to talk about it, and then said, "Only 50,000 yuan? I thought I could be promoted to Ying Tianfu? I didn't expect Quanzhou to be Quanzhou, and there was no change. If we can be promoted to Ying Tianfu, then we can also get the proportion according to the provincial level when we take the civil service exam in the future, so that we have more chances to pass the exam! ”

He apparently thought that if he was promoted to Ying Tianfu. Then the civil service examination can be taken according to the past and get more proportions. However, now Wang Guorui has not been promoted to Ying Tianfu. In this way, those local literati in Quanzhou thought that they had lost money, and even thought that Wang Guorui had lost their hometown.

"It's only 50,000 yuan, and the emperor's net worth is extremely huge, only 50,000 yuan. And it's just one time, if it is promoted to Ying Tianfu, then there will be a steady stream of investment. That's huge. Back then, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang sent a lot of good things to the people of Fengyang, and even the people of Fengyang were blessed in the future, and they all had no worries about food and clothing, which was extremely enjoyable. And even if those court officials starved to death in other places, they didn't dare to let the people of Fengyang starve to death! But this time, the emperor only gave 50,000 yuan. And only those who are old, weak, sick, and disabled, and widowed and lonely can get it. And the people can only make a living by themselves, and they can't get the rice and grain distributed by the imperial court, which is too much of a loss! ”

Obviously, some people think that since Wang Guorui is from Quanzhou, he should give higher benefits to the people of Quanzhou after becoming rich, rather than a one-time investment of 50,000 yuan. These 50,000 yuan are just a drizzle, which cannot be compared with the investment in Longxing Land in the past.

However, another literati came over and said, "IM be content!" You know that some low-level officials are also talking about the current emperor, and they are talking about the current emperor is not from Quanzhou, but from Shanxi. ”

"What do you mean?" Someone asked.

"That's a lot of picking!" The literati spoke, and then went on to explain: "Do you know how much the queen has every month? It's only twenty yuan, and the real income needs the position held by the queen to get income. It's really the queen who has to work by herself to earn money, what kind of system is it? ”

"Yes! The dignified queen can't enjoy the worship of all the people, and she still has to work by herself to earn money, the emperor is really too picky, right? "Even the prince is only two thousand yuan a month, which is not as good as a side branch clan of the Ming Dynasty!" The emperor treats the concubine and the prince like this, it is really enough to pick the door. is so slamming of his own family, let alone for us who have nothing to do with the villagers? ”

And in the end, someone came over and said, "You still don't have to say a word, although the court won't blame you for your discussion now, but you don't complain about the emperor because of this." The emperor can be like this, in fact, he is really wise! If the concubine is given the qualification to support all the people in the world, isn't it unearned? The emperor said that all the people in the world have to work, if they don't work, how can they get income to survive? Even he, the emperor, is a laborer, but this rice bowl is just an iron rice bowl, but it also has to work. If you don't work and enjoy the support of all the people in the world for no reason, why? Is it just because she is the emperor's woman that she is eligible to be supported by all the people? When the time comes, countless women don't all count on entering the post. Has the palace gone? ”

"So the emperor is good, if all the people in the world are allowed to support their family, then what is the difference between it and those Eight Banners in the end? Wasn't it all pig breeding at that time? At that time, the royal family could get the harvest one by one, and then one by one they got it for nothing, so what did it get? Once the generations go on, then you can't sit and eat nothing? How great is the burden of all the nations of the world? The emperor is good this time, if you don't work, you won't have income, and if you don't work, you won't have any income, even those princes and princes in the future will have to work in various departments, or work in the royal industry, in order to get the royal family's annuity. Otherwise, they will not be able to obtain it. ”

"And how can we receive the support of all the nations of the world? When we were in the emperor to fight the world, what strength did we exert ourselves? When fighting a foreign enemy, have you ever killed an enemy? Neither killed nor contributed to the enemy, so why should he be rewarded? How many of us in Quanzhou have served as soldiers? I'm afraid there aren't many, right? So why did the emperor give us nothing for nothing? ”

"However, the emperor is from Quanzhou after all!"

"Then Hong Chengchou is also from Quanzhou!"

Now everyone is embarrassed, because not only Wang Guorui is a native of Quanzhou, but Hong Chengchou, who contributed to the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and made great contributions, is also from Quanzhou! And Hong Chengchou is recognized as a big traitor, and he is currently doing things by Wang Guorui as a key figure in the traitor's biography and wrote the content in the "Qing Zhan Shilu".

It can be said that the land of China was occupied by the Manchu Qing Dynasty and has a direct and profound relationship with Hong Chengchou, who is a native of Quanzhou. After Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he was always despised by the people of Quanzhou, and even Hong Chengchou's relatives and friends felt humiliated, and even his family looked down on him. His mother did not recognize him as a son, his wife chose to become a nun, and even his brother scolded him. It is conceivable how bad Hong Chengchou's reputation in Quanzhou is, and the people of Quanzhou are also deeply ashamed.

But now Wang Guorui expelled the Manchu Qing Dynasty and restored the country, and Wang Guorui is also from Quanzhou, so that the people of Quanzhou finally feel angry.

"Although Hong Chengchou is from Quanzhou, he surrendered to the Manchus and helped the Manchus become traitors, which is also his own business, and it has nothing to do with us Quanzhou people!"

"Then the emperor today started in Taiwan, and his generals are mainly Taiwanese. Fujian people also have it, but the proportion of Quanzhou is not high. So the emperor expelled the foreigners to defeat the Manchus, what does that have to do with the Quanzhou people? Quanzhou's contribution is even much less than that of the Taiwanese, and the people of Shandong, so how can you get the eternal support? If you don't make any effort, you hope to get benefits, where is there such pie in the sky everywhere? ”

And immediately someone said angrily: "Listening to your accent, it doesn't look like we are from Quanzhou, and it doesn't even seem to be from Fujian, why do you say that about us?" Who are you? ”

The young man in his thirties, dressed in ordinary literati clothes, replied: "My surname is Li, my name is Yuanhong, and my name is Song Qing, and I am now the new commander of the Southeast Theater with the rank of lieutenant general. I feel unfair to you today, so I'm going to ask a few questions. ”

"Li Yuanhong? Commander of the Southeastern Theater of Operations? ”

Those people didn't expect that they were complaining about their dissatisfaction with the emperor here, and they actually blew up this "southeast king" who would control all the garrison forces in the southeast half of the country in the future? (To be continued.) )
