None of the three wore official uniforms, and their entourage did not have personal protection, but the three of them were still dressed as scholars, which made the ordinary people retain a little awe.

"This old man." Yan Song smiled and called an old man who was almost fifty years old and already had gray temples.

The old man paused, and when he saw that it was three scholars, he responded: "Is there something wrong with the three sons?"

Yan Song smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just want to talk to my father-in-law, dare to ask what my father-in-law is called?"

"The little old man's surname is Li." Old man Li let down his guard.

"Uncle Li, Xiao Ke is so polite." Saying that, Yan Song arched his hand, and Shu Fen and Fan He did not lag behind and saluted.

"Don't dare, don't dare, the three sons are all Wenqu stars in the sky, give a gift to the little old man, that is the birthday of the little old man."

Yan Song said politely: "We are just ordinary scholars, but we can't afford the three words Wenqu Xing, may I ask Uncle Li, are you planning to go to sea to fish?"

Old man Li nodded and shook his head and said: "Little Lao'er's body can't withstand the wind and waves on the sea, my two sons went to sea today, and Xiao Lao'er is guarding them back by the sea."

"I see." Yan Song smiled and said: "The sea ban is opened today, and it is said that the sea will never be banned, and the old father-in-law's family must have benefited a lot."

"Needless to say!" Speaking of the emperor, Old Man Li couldn't help but straighten his chest and said: "The Holy Monarch is alive, every household in our village has set up an immortal card for the Holy Monarch, and the Holy Monarch is in the court, so our people's lives can be better."

Yan Song smiled.

Old man Li frowned and said, "What? Childe thinks that what the little old man said is wrong! Childe knows that our coastal areas have suffered from the Japanese in recent years, and it was the Holy Monarch who sent an army to cripple the Japanese several times, and there has been no trace of the Japanese in the past few months.

Do you know that the saint Jun Xingxue raises children for the people, how much virtue is this, let's not talk about letting children study before, that is, they can't even raise them, and the little old man has seen many children in the village drowned alive.

There are also Japanese Invaders, many of them are coastal people, they can't survive and they have become bandits, but since the Holy Monarch opened the sea, how many babies have returned, and the government also knows about it, but the officials are not to blame in the past, this is the kindness of the Holy Monarch.

Now the sea is open, the people have a way to live, and there are many sturdy babies who went to work in the mines, they used to be forced laborers, and they didn't have a penny of wages, but now they can earn a month of one or two five, two taels of silver to subsidize the family, although the little old man is shallow, he knows that this is the virtue and politics of the holy king.

There are also potatoes and yams, there are one or two acres of land in the house, which is inexhaustible food, and we will no longer worry about being starved to death, and we don't have to worry about the baby starving, and the extra grain can also raise chickens and ducks......"

Old man Li said a lot, but Yan Song and the three of them kept listening and did not disturb, an ordinary old man in the countryside can say so many feelings, which shows how popular the new policy of the Son of Heaven is.

The reform of the past dynasties was not vigorous, bloody and bloody, thinking about Wang Anshi's reform in the Song Dynasty, it was obviously supposed to be a moral government, but it became a bad government to the people, so it opened up the dispute between the new party and the old party.

Emperor Taizu Hongwu was so strong, but when he wanted to abolish the prime minister system, he still suffered opposition from the Manchu Dynasty, and there were not a few ministers like Lu Chang who risked their lives to meet him.

But what about Emperor Jiajing? He has changed so much, turned the world upside down, changed beyond recognition, but did not encounter too strong resistance, what is the reason for this?

Some people will say that it is because the emperor has the money and the support of the army, so he dares to carry out drastic reforms under the pressure of the world, and some people will say that this is because the ministers of the Jiajing Dynasty have long lost the integrity of the ministers of the Hongwu Dynasty, and some will say that His Majesty is too strong, strong to the point of being rigid and self-serving, in order to implement the new policy, he does not care at all, and does not care about the opposition and forcibly pushes it.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is all nonsense!

The reason why Emperor Jiajing promoted the success of the New Deal was to win the hearts of the people!

With the military deterrence, finance-based, and people-oriented, the three pieces together forced the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty to have no excuse to oppose even if they objected!

As long as it is opposed, the emperor can come up with a bunch of grounds to accuse the minister of selfishness, the minister said that the emperor competes with the people for profit, and Jiajing's rebuttal is to ask the opinions of the people, ask them if the emperor is competing with them for profit, if not, what are the people they are talking about!

The most powerful thing about Emperor Jiajing is that he knows the people so well that it is impossible for the courtiers to deceive Sheng Cong, and he doesn't need to be an official to know every move in the world!

This is the most terrifying and the most feared place for the Manchu Dynasty!

And the emperor likes to do everything himself, and he personally rolled up his sleeves to make the minister completely powerless!

There is also the ancestral system, the ancestral system has always been the supreme magic weapon of the minister to deal with the emperor, no matter when it is sacrificed, no matter what the emperor will be afraid of, otherwise he will be deducted from the name of unfilial piety!

And whether the emperor is mediocre or brutal, he wants to leave a good reputation in history, but the key to whether the emperor can leave a good reputation lies in the minister, because the pen is in the hands of the minister.

But the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty sadly found that their magic weapons were useless, and Emperor Jiajing never had an ancestral system in his eyes!

The ancestral system is blocking his big politics, he will not hesitate to kick it away, even if it is the hard-won government that Emperor Taizu said, it is a fart in front of Emperor Jiajing.

So the ancestral system, which was originally like Shang Fang's sword for the minister, has completely become scrap iron, what to do with a piece of useless scrap iron, since it is useless, of course it is thrown away.

And then there is Emperor Jiajing's shamelessness to refresh the lower limit of the ministers again and again, to put it bluntly, Emperor Jiajing is an emperor who does not care about his reputation at all, you want to arrange him It's okay, you want to scribble in the history books at will, you want to make a fuss in the wild history books, I'm sorry, you are still casual.

The ministers have almost exhausted all the methods they can use to deal with the emperor, but there is no effect, so they can only accept their fate!

What can you do if you don't accept your fate? Can civil officials still rebel? The clan and the nobles were all cleaned up like that, and they didn't dare to rebel!

Change the emperor? Do you try it differently?

Resign from the government? Emperor Jiajing will not have an opinion, and even the ministers feel that Emperor Jiajing may still be happy to see it, maybe he will take the opportunity to appoint all the new scholars, it doesn't matter if it's not enough, it will always be enough......

What is the price of playing like this? It is Confucianism who completely withdraws from the court, who can bear such a price!

So, over time, the ministers got used to it and accepted their fate......

Now Yan Song listened to what Old Man Li said, recalled the major policies of the Jiajing Dynasty in the past few years, and really felt a lot of emotion......
