Zhu Qizhen's firm expression convinced everyone, and Li Xian got up silently.

It just so happened that he was young and rich, and Zhu Qizhen also wanted to have a good chat with this old man.

"The minister is rich, I respectfully invite the emperor to be sainte." Nian Fu saluted.

Zhu Qizhen asked: "Don't be so polite, let's talk about any new gains in today's trial." ”

Nianfu groaned, as if he didn't know how to say it.

After Zhu Qizhen looked at the rest of the people, he asked with some surprise: "Is there too many people involved?" ”

Nian Fu was embarrassed to speak: "You can't say that, if you want to say that it involves a wide range, it is really wide, and almost the entire Luoyang City is involved." The main reason is that everyone seems to be guilty, and it seems that they are not guilty, so the minister was speechless for a while, and he didn't know where to start. ”

"Oh?" Hearing Nianfu say this, not only Zhu Qizhen, but also everyone except Xiong Zongli became interested, and they also intended to cover what Li Xian said as soon as possible.

"Tell me more about it, I'm curious." Zhu Qizhen asked.

Nian Fu first took a preventive shot: "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know if it's right to say this, so I'll give you an example, if you think what I said is not clear, you can stop at any time." ”

Seeing Zhu Qizhen nodding, Nian Fu reorganized his thoughts and began to tell what he had seen: "Your Majesty, today's case can be said like this:

A merchant's relatives are stewards in the palace, and they have some small status and can see the prince, but they have no official status, only some family rights given by King Yi.

One day, the merchant asked the steward of the palace to find him a shop, which may make people look at it, and the shops that can make money must be ownery. And the other party happened to know the little guy in the palace, but because he didn't have a high status in charge, he was forced to transfer the shop.

After a while, the merchant was in the "grabbed" store, such as a restaurant. Relying on his relatives to be the stewards of the palace, the shopkeeper beat the relatives of the officials of the palace.

Then those subordinate officials and other people with higher status came forward, and under some operation, they drove the shopkeeper away, arranged their own people to be the shopkeeper, and then the infinite cycle continued, and almost all the people in half the city became bitter masters. ”

Shang Shi asked a little puzzled: "Lord Nian, according to what you said, there shouldn't be so many people, right?" After all, there are quotas for officials and stewards. ”

Nian Fu smiled helplessly and said: "I thought so too, but later I learned that since King Yi monopolized the shops in the city, those who are willing to stay have more or less something to do with the palace, and the seven aunts and eight aunts are more, all of which are related to the relationship."

Even the examples I just gave are already relatively large cases, such as those who are vying to pour night incense for the palace, collect leftover food, and what kind of work the boss's relatives have done, all of which are within the scope of influence.

As for the changes in the prince's favored concubines, favorite subordinates, and subordinates, which can lead to changes in the entire industrial chain, it is normal in the eyes of these people.

What's even more deformed is that because the palace is the highest level of this system, even if they are bullied by the palace a few times, ordinary people don't take it seriously at all, and even take it for granted. ”

"This ......"

A few people stared at each other, and they really didn't know how to describe it.

Or dare not describe it, because it is too similar......

Zhu Qizhen is also aware of this problem, just like when the dynasty enters maturity and stability, there will always be big fish eating small fish, and small fish eating shrimp to form huge unknown creatures. At this time, the law of the jungle will become subtle, and even artificially cover a layer of aura.

Just like the current Ming Dynasty, there are many gate valves, and famous ministers such as Yang Shiqi have annexed many fields in their hometowns, just like the local emperors, and in order to win people's hearts, the emperors often turn a blind eye.

As for the military generals, it is even more obvious that those military households and tuntian are the objects of their natural oppression, and because of the particularity of the nature of household registration, the military households cannot resist and can only flee.

This is also another reason why Yu Qian is convincing, in this era, he only lives on a fortune, his official uniform is full of patches, and he can't find out any property when he is killed.

Zhu Qizhen was a little disappointed, just a small city, it reflects the current situation of the entire Ming Dynasty, and what is even more worrying is that the people themselves don't think there is any problem, they just think that this is the case for generations, so they silently accept it......

Right? Do we have to wait until the social contradictions accumulate to the point where they cannot be alleviated, and then reopen the world and let the Manchus miss China for another 300 years?

Ideological enlightenment and opening up people's wisdom start from universal education! This has another premise, that is, food, and the family must have surplus food in order to have the mind to go to school.

But the American continent has not yet been discovered by Columbus, and those high-yield grains such as potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, etc. are still quietly staying in their places of origin.

In terms of current agricultural technology, with these new varieties, there is a cornerstone for promoting social progress, and even to promote the development of industrialization, we must speed up the pace.

Zhu Qizhen himself didn't expect that because a greedy nobleman could be connected with so many problems, it was a matter of drawing inferences.

"You will be a daughter-in-law and hide it at both ends, you are rich, you are the political envoy of the imperial court, the daughter-in-law of a province, you can do this thing." Zhu Qizhen is no longer entangled in institutional issues.

Nian Fu breathed a sigh of relief, since he began to talk about this problem, he has always been in a trembling mood, accompanying the king like a tiger, he is afraid that his words will make the emperor unhappy, and he will be finished, fortunately, the emperor is wise and did not over-interpret his own meaning.

"It is the duty of a minister to eat the king's affairs, to be loyal to the king, and to bear the king's worries." Nian Fu said.

Zhu Qizhen corrected: "The food of the people, the matter of loyalty to the people, bear the worries of the people." ”

"The Emperor's Holy Virtue!" A group of people's rainbow farts are all over the place.

"As long as you have this mind, there is no bad errand." Zhu Qi calmed down.

But someone wants to sing a contrarian tune

"The minister wants to remind the envoy of the monarch and the minister, the main drug in the medicine is correct, and the auxiliary medicine can play a greater role." Xiong Zongli is still such a straight man.

Not to mention Jin Qi and Fan Zhong, even the always outspoken businessman showed a bad color.

"Bold Xiong Zongli, you are confused when you see a doctor! What crazy things to say in front of the Son of Heaven! Is it because the Qian family's son is tired of seeing a doctor? Or is it too much to walk and your body can't keep up? Li Xian hurriedly defended Xiong Zongli.

Zhu Qizhen said: "Oh, it makes sense. The envoy of Xiong Yuan has the appearance of contemporary Wei Zheng, but I am not as good as Tang Taizong. ”

Everyone was shocked, and even Xiong Zongli, who was as rigorous as medicine, also showed a look of shame at this time.

He said: "How can the minister compare to Wei Zheng, he is just a doctor who heals diseases, the emperor is so humble, and his achievements will definitely far surpass that of Tang Taizong." ”

Like Li Xian and others who have come all the way, they know that it is not easy for Xiong Zongli to say this kind of horse-like talk, and they all feel that Doctor Xiong is deeply hidden.

Zhu Qizhen knew how difficult it was for Xiong Zongli to say this, but he said disapprerovantly: "But you can really do it." ”

Nianfu didn't have much feeling about the business nonsense between the emperor and his courtiers, but he just thought that it might be the daily operation between the monarch and the ministers.

"It's not early, let's go back and rest."

"The ministers obey."
