Volume 2: The Omnipotent Chapter 2: Matter-of-Fact
In fact, the original atmosphere of the court meeting was very solemn, and the ministers had strict requirements for their speeches and returns, and there would be no fierce debates.
But Zhu Qizhen is fresh, and he looks like a discussion meeting. After a brief lunch, I will continue to announce the last item in the morning.
"Gongshun Bo Wu Ke was loyal to resist Wara and died, his son Jin was loyal and courageous, and he made many military exploits in Tumu, attacked Gongshun Bo, and served as the governor of the Chinese army, leading 3,000 battalions."
"The commander of the government military guard is Fan Zhong, who is fierce and diligent......"
β¦β¦
"Huailai Department commanded the servant Kangneng, Governor Yang Jun and Huailai, Longqing, and Longmen guards commanded thousands of households Yi Qian and others to abandon the city to avoid thieves, and they were immediately arrested, and immediately beheaded.
The governor of Datong was also known as Shi Heng, who returned to Beijing on a single horse after the defeat of the army, and then recruited troops for self-efficacy, and made new military exploits in the defense of Beijing. β
β¦β¦
"Chin this!"
"Thank you, Lord Longne!"
Zhu Qizhen's first early dynasty is finally over.
As the sun fell, the ministers went out of the palace gate in turn. Only a few cabinet officials remained in the palace, and the household department was killed in battle because of Shangshu Wang Zuo, Liu Zhongfu and Chen Xun were able to stay together, and the monarchs and ministers entered the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters.
"Say it." Zhu Qizhen sat on the dragon chair and asked.
Yu Qian came out of the ranks: "Your Majesty, the anti-thief Huang Xiao in Guangzhou is in chaos, and the chief military officer An Xiangbo Zhang An has organized troops to encircle and suppress it." β
As he spoke, he took out a fold from his body and handed it to the internal official beside him, who then forwarded it to the emperor.
Zhu Qizhen took the song and remembered the relevant information in his heart.
The peasant uprising of the Ming Dynasty began in the third year of orthodoxy, and Huang Xiaoyang was the third and only existed for a short time.
This An Xiangbo will soon be killed by Huang Xiaoyang, and even the local guards in Guangzhou will be seriously damaged.
When he learned about this history, he wondered that Guangzhou should be one of the best economic places in this era, and it controlled the trading port of the city, so it should not lead to an uprising because of insufficient food.
I wanted to learn the truth in the recital, but when I opened it, it was a clichΓ©, and there was no practical problem at all.
Zhu Qizhen was not used to this problem, and asked with a displeased expression: "Yu Shangshu, why didn't you write the reason for Huang Xiaoyang's rebellion?" β
"Your Majesty, according to the report of Tong Cunde, the superintendent of Guangdong Province, the cause should be caused by the collusion of officials and businessmen to occupy people's land." Chen Yi replied.
Zhu Qizhen said in his heart: Sure enough.
As soon as the world was peaceful, people's greed was magnified, although through the peaceful development of the Renxuan and Xuan dynasties, the national strength was greatly increased.
However, land annexation is becoming more and more serious, and as the lowest people, they can only be slaughtered by others in many cases, or they choose to fight for their lives.
The corners of Zhu Qizhen's mouth flashed with a sneer: "Have these people dealt with it?" β
The ministers looked at each other a few times, but Chen Yi replied: "The local government in Guangdong has ordered the return of Mintian. β
Zhu Qizhen laughed angrily: "Heh! What a great gift, returning the encroached land can be exchanged for the lives of hundreds of people? β
"Yu Qian, what do you think should be done about this matter?"
Yu Qian said loudly without squinting: "Your Majesty, the official-coercion-people-anti-crime will be added by one level, and the light will be confiscated into the army, and the heavy will be beheaded." β
I asked the rest of the people, and they all said that what Yu Shangshu said was very true.
"Find Geng Jiuchou and Qi Wang."
Jin Ying agreed and went out silently.
Zhu Qizhen looked at these ministers with a cold face, he didn't understand, how to deal with a very simple thing seemed to be very worried?
"Your Majesty! Geng Jiuchou and Qi Wang are here. Kim Young said.
Zhu Qizhen nodded: "Let the two of them come in." β
The old man entered the room, followed by a middle-aged man, both of whom knelt down.
The old man looked upright: "Minister Geng Jiuchou, knock on the emperor, the emperor is saintly!" β
The middle-aged man's voice was loud: "Ministers Qi Wang, knock on the emperor, the emperor is saintly!" β
Zhu Qizhen's face softened a little, and replied, "Zhen'an, get up." β
"Your Majesty." After thanksgiving, the two stood in the doorway.
Zhu Qizhen asked Yu Qian to introduce the situation in Guangzhou again, and then said:
"Let the two of you come, just to let you find out who is involved in this matter, no matter who is involved, you have to truthfully reply, can you do it?"
The two agreed in unison
Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "In addition, we have to see if those thieves have grievances?"
Remember that the guilty must be brought to justice and a fair verdict must be given to those who have been wronged! Geng Jiuchou, you are the servant of the Criminal Department, you have to bear the burden of this matter. β
"The minister will live up to the emperor's grace." Saying that, Geng Jiuchou was about to kneel down again.
"Okay, don't kneel. Qi Wang, you are the commander of the military department, and it is logical to go to supervise the guards in various places, and take a good look at how many military households have lost their tuntian. Zhu Qizhen turned his head and said to Qi Wang.
"Commandment." Qi Wang also wanted to kneel, but was also stopped by Zhu Qizhen.
"Qi Wang, after the civil engineering, how did you come back?"
Originally, Qi Wang should have died in Tumubao, but he didn't expect that this time he would come back alive, so Zhu Qizhen asked.
I saw Qi Wang's eyes full of tears, and his voice replied with some nasal voices.
"During the war, the British Duke said at the time: I am old, dying on the battlefield is the best destination, you are still useful to the Ming Dynasty and the emperor, go back to your battlefield.
Then the old prince sent us out of the battlefield, so that we could see the emperor again. As soon as the words fell, the bean-sized tears in his eyes could no longer stop rolling down his cheeks.
Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but feel sad and nodded silently.
"The British Duke is the hero of the Ming Dynasty! You also have to live up to his expectations and do more for my people!
Alright, you two go, go to Guangdong immediately, and I am waiting for your good news. β
The two were ordered to retreat.
looked at the ministers and found that the ministers also had sad faces.
Especially the ministers who also survived from Tumubao: Cao Nai and Zhang Yi, they were even more sad and dark, and Zhu Qizhen was also much comforted if they could read Zhang Fu.
At this time, Cao Nai, the first assistant of the cabinet, reported: "Your Majesty, Qiongzhou, Guangdong Province has serious malaria this year and is in urgent need of medical support. β
Zhu Qizhen didn't wait for Jin Ying to pass it on, and got up to take it.
The more I look at it, the more frightened I become, malaria, a disease that has been eradicated in China in later generations, is still a disease that can take thousands of lives in this era.
The weather in Qiongzhou is hot, and malaria will hardly stop for a year, and since this summer, there has been a high incidence in wards in villages, towns, and even counties.
There are only a limited number of doctors in the area, and although they have many years of experience in treatment, the problem of shortage of manpower is unavoidable.
Although the Guangdong Political Department has already squeezed out some manpower, there are too many patients this time, so he asks the imperial court to send some more doctors.
"Malaria, malaria...... What's going on? Zhu Qizhen forgot the name of the gentleman in a hurry, and couldn't remember the content of the documentary, so the more he thought about it, the more annoyed he became, so he simply went out and walked around the palace.
The magnificent Forbidden City in the eyes, the golden eaves spilling the afterglow of the setting sun, and the still somewhat blazing heat in the back garden flew over a few birds, leaving a chirping chirp.
Zhu Qizhen seemed to have some ideas, and when he was about to chase along this idea, he was ruthlessly interrupted.
"Your Majesty? Emperor! β
Zhu Qizhen looked back, it turned out that Yu Qian was calling him, and he forcibly suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, and asked helplessly: "Yu Qian, Yu Qian, you have ruined my big thing." β
Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, and was about to kneel down to plead guilty, but Zhu Qizhen hurriedly supported him.
"Okay, okay, I didn't blame you, what's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, the ministers are still waiting for you to come up with ideas, you see?" Yu Qian was also helpless, is this amnesia?
Zhu Qizhen smiled embarrassedly, just now he forgot that he hadn't finished his business, so he hurried back to the Qianqing Palace.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I just thought of an ancient recipe for malaria, but I can't remember it when it comes to my lips."
Everyone only said that it was the emperor's explanation for the sake of face, but they didn't take it seriously.
"Is this malaria only a disaster in Qiongzhou?" Zhu Qizhen thought about it carefully and found that he had no memory of this, so he could only ask.
Cao Nai explained: "The region is poor, especially in the south, and the symptoms are mild in the areas north of the Yangtze River.
However, in summer, there are almost all patients everywhere, and there are many prevention and control methods among the people, such as ginger tea, which can also control the epidemic, but the south often forms a large epidemic area due to the weather. β
Zhu Qizhen nodded, this is a more comprehensive understanding, it turns out that there is a whole country, then this is a major event related to people's livelihood, why didn't you pay attention to it before.
"So how did you deal with it in previous years?"
"In previous years, when it was more serious, it was the Aether Hospital that sent doctors from all over the world to treat it. The main thing is to need a large number of medicinal materials, as long as the medicinal materials are enough, a few cauldrons, it will not take half a month to get rid of the disease. Cao Nai said confidently.
It was Zhu Qizhen's turn to be stunned, is it so simple?
"Why can it be so simple?"
"It's just that there are many recurrences of this disease, so ......"
"Then save people first, just do as you say, and quickly summon the imperial doctor to Qiongzhou." Zhu Qizhen decided.
Suddenly, Zhu Qizhen remembered a question and hurriedly called Cao Nai: "Cao Nai, malaria is transmitted by mosquitoes, and mosquitoes must be isolated!" β
"Yes!" Although Cao Nai didn't know how Zhu Qizhen came to this conclusion, since the emperor had ordered it, he agreed first.
With Cao Nai's departure, there was nothing important in front of him, so Zhu Qizhen told the construction of the Martyrs' Shrine and the state-owned commercial bank.
Liu Zhongfu, the left attendant of the household department, asked: "Your Majesty, the martyr's shrine you said is easy to do, what is the practice of this state-owned commercial bank?" I'll have to tell us more about it. β
Zhu Qizhen roughly described the structure of the foreign trade company and the transaction process in his memory.
They are all in charge of money, and they know more professionally than him, the emperor, and they can understand everything.
Even in the early days of construction, questions such as whether to participate in specific operations were raised.
Zhu Qizhen's opinion is that we can refer to the monopoly system founded by Wang Mang and establish a series of enterprises to carry out international trade.
"Your Majesty, will this cause dissatisfaction among the people, thinking that the court is competing with the people for profit, will it affect the mobility and enthusiasm of social goods?" Liu Zhongfu asked.
