Chapter 479: Whoever can feed the people will be used
In the sweet potato field, the height of the topic suddenly changed.
As the second assistant to the cabinet of the current dynasty, Xie Jin co-led the major affairs of the government with other cabinet ministers.
When I asked here and now, the audience fell silent.
No one can answer this question.
Just digging sweet potatoes for half a day, they are already exhausted to the point of collapse.
If this is the case every day, it is difficult for the proud sons of these countries to maintain the pride of the past, and under this problem, they are still proud of their heads.
Xie Jin waved his hand, and the old farmer on the side carried a basket full of sweet potatoes to the ridge next to the sweet potato field.
Then Xie Jin patted his ass and sat on the ground.
The prisoners consciously moved closer to Xie Jin's position.
When people gather almost.
Xie Jin looked at these officials of the yamen of the government at all levels in the future of the Ming Dynasty: "Digging sweet potatoes is the lesson that this official teaches you today, and now you can know why this official is doing this?"
The eyes of the prisoners showed clear doubt.
The answer to this question seems to be blurted out, but when it comes to the mouth, I don't dare to confirm it.
"Sir thinks that agriculture and mulberry are more important to the community than Mount Tai."
"The application of the dynasty is all above the agricultural mulberry, without the agricultural mulberry, the people are hungry, and it is difficult for the court to pay taxes. That's why, sir."
"Sir, the student thinks it's ......."
「……」
Finally, after a short while, some prisoners began to answer tentatively.
It can be seen from the names of these Jianshengmen that they are basically students of the heart. In the Guozijian, only these students will be commensurate with Mr. Xie Jin.
Others, however, are disdainful.
There are hundreds of millions of people in the world, and there must be someone who wants to farm and engage in farming all year round. Naturally, there are also people who should sit back and enjoy their success, and if they don't do farming, they can get things that ordinary people can't enjoy in their lifetime.
Xie Jin nodded and shook his head, but there was a relieved smile on his face: "Although you haven't counted enough, you have all said something.
Today, I am talking to you about Nongsang, but I am telling you about my Daming Sheji.
What exactly is Nongsang?"
Xie Jin paused, his gaze swept over the faces of the young men in front of him.
Zhu Yunxi, who was not far away, smiled, today's class may not be able to play a role in everyone, but he believes that at least some of these prisoners who have not been involved in the world too deeply will know the joints, and when they become officials one day in the future, they will still be able to remember today's class.
Xie Jin didn't stop for long, and then he said, "Nongsang is Sheji! Nongsang is the Ming Dynasty! If there is no agriculture, there will be no great Ming!"
The voices of the cabinet ministers of the Daming Wenyuan Pavilion and the scholars of Hanlin passed under the vast and empty Zhong Mountain and entered everyone's ears.
This is the first time that Daming has publicly stated that the matter of Nongsang is the society of Daming.
Even before, people thought so in their hearts, but when it came out of the mouth of the cabinet minister, it was a different attitude.
Xie Jin's face was solemn: "The original people of my generation were born from the flood and wilderness, standing among all the tribes, without clothing, without food, without a fixed place, and by the fire of heaven and earth, all things were born.
The things of the pasture, the three emperors and the five emperors, and even Xia Yu Shangtang.
The people have no food, the country is unstable, there will be victory and chaos, and the world will be ruined.
Han Wenjing, Cang Yu, has the strength of Han Wu.
The Sui people ruled the country, and only then did they have the confidence to dig the big river.
The Tang Dynasty was pro-peasant, and the emperor worked hard, so there would be the Wu Dynasty, and there would also be the Kaiyuan Dynasty.
The people have nothing to ask for, only to wear clothes, to have a full stomach, and to live in something.
If there is food in a village, there will be no chaos in a village. If there is grain in a county, there are no thieves in a county. If there is grain in a house, there will be no robbery in a place. There is bread in one way, and there is no rebellion in this way.
Today, you are a student of the country, learning in the classroom, not knowing the farming, when to plow, when to harvest. If you are a minister of the country in the future, how can you be an official?"
Xie Jin's class, still
Get up.
In the sweet potato field, not only the prisoners listened with their ears, but also the officials who taught and practiced and the Shanglin Yuan Supervisor were also listening quietly, and Zou Xueyu and other Ying Tianfu officials who came not far away also calmed down, thinking about Xie Jin's words.
People began to silently look at the imperial grandson not far away.
Xie Ge was always the person chosen by the imperial grandson, and it was also the grandson who pushed him to the position of cabinet minister step by step, which no one in the court did not know.
Xie Jin's remarks at this moment, in a sense, are also the will of Taisun.
People saw that Xie Jin was teaching, but they also saw that this was the will of the imperial grandson to convey the future of the Ming Dynasty.
Xie Jin coughed lightly, grabbed a handful of dirt at his feet, slowly lifted it, and then released his palm, and the dirt drifted down his fingers.
He smiled and shook his head: "The sages' articles can govern the country, and half of the treatises rule the world. The words of this time have been circulated by the world for many years. The official has never felt that it is not reasonable, but how the world interprets it is another matter.
What is the understanding of half of the treatise on the rule of the world?
The official will wait a few years, or it can be said.
This statement is not a direct statement that you can govern the vast world by learning the sage articles, but cultivating oneself with the sage articles, Confucius said benevolence, why benevolence? To whom is charity?
The imperial court evaluates officials based on whether there is local turmoil, and if there is no chaos, it is excellent, and if there is some political achievement, it can be evaluated. It is also rated on the suppression of turmoil.
The official thinks that this comment will not be repeated in the future.
The current officials of the court will be officials in the future, and they should be judged by the surplus grain available in the warehouses of the local people.
The people have grain in their storehouses, and there are no displaced people, no displaced people, and no chaotic people. If there are no people in turmoil, how can there be turmoil?
The people of a place can have new clothes every year, and they can be full every day, so that they can be judged by the above."
In the distance, Zou Xueyu, the prefect of Yingtian, moved his eyes slightly.
Xie Jin said a long sentence, but being able to sit in the position of the Ying Tian prefect where the Ming Jingshi was located, Zou Xueyu knew very well what the meaning behind these words was.
Ying Tianfu Tongzhi beside him had already whispered, "Fuzun, it seems that the imperial court is going to move the law of official evaluation in the future. This is probably related to the fact that the King of Qin presided over the external inspection at this age."
Zou Xueyu hummed: "This year, we will repair the waterway connecting Xuanwu Lake, build the Shangyuanmen Wharf, and collect taxes. Next year, what we should do in Tianfu is to farm mulberry!"
Tongzhi immediately whispered: "Xiaguan will sort out the matter of farming and mulberry in this mansion next year in the next few days."
Zou Xueyu glanced at Tongzhi with satisfaction: "Yingtian is a prefecture and eight counties, next year we will clean up waterways, dig new canals, reclaim wasteland, and flush saline-alkali land.
Tongzhi nodded again and again, and then everyone in the government also took the words of the palace in their hearts.
This is all to be done in the coming year, just as this year is almost a whole year, and the entire government is busy digging the canal connecting Xuanwu Lake and building the Shangyuanmen Wharf.
After the wharf is repaired, today's Longwan Wharf will be simplified to a wharf dedicated to the imperial court, and Shangyuanmen Wharf will become a place for ordinary people and businessmen to use.
This place can be held in the hands of Ying Tianfu, and Ying Tianfu can collect a lot of money for ships docking and cargo storage.
and then use this as a source of wealth to support the people of Yingtianyifu and eight counties, this conclusion has long been agreed upon in the government.
The people of Ying Tianfu are discussing the affairs of this mansion.
On the ground, Xie Jin continued to teach.
"When you become an official in the future, remember who is your political achievement, and who is your political enemy."
Suddenly, Xie Jin's words became sharp.
Political achievements and political opponents, so bluntly spoken from the lips of cabinet ministers, caused a sensation among the prisoners.
Even those inmates who were still sneering at today's class in their hearts couldn't help but show curiosity and surprise at this moment.
Xie Hanlin dared to say it so explicitly?
This is able to be present
What did the grandson say?
Xie Hanlin seems to be saying, you have to remember how to get promoted and make a fortune in the future.
And being promoted to get rich is naturally something that everyone present is looking forward to.
But Zhu Yunxi, who was on the side, showed a rich smile in his eyes.
If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to maintain his image in front of the inmates, he would have laughed out loud.
Xie Jin clapped his hands and said bluntly: "In the coming day, you will be on the official side, and the people there will be your achievements. The prosperity of the people, the harvest of the people year after year, and the absence of famine, are your achievements.
In addition, they are all political enemies who will become officials in the future!
Merchants will evade business taxes, gentry will evade taxes, wealthy families will pay bribes, etc.
Merchants avoid taxes, and local taxes are insufficient. The gentry annexed the people, and the people were in turmoil. The wealthy clan wooed Er and others and disregarded human life.
The court may not notice it for a day, but it is impossible for it to remain unnoticed forever."
In the sweet potato field, some people showed awake eyes, but there were also people with disappointed expressions.
And these people can't help but slander again in their hearts.
Became his own political enemy?
However, the imperial court's treatment of corrupt and derelict officials can really be described as ruthless.
Over the years, the imperial court has been investigated and punished and beheaded many officials.
The prisoners who are in Yingtian, which one does not know.
Zhu Yunxi saw that Xie Jin's words today had come to the end, so he coughed lightly and waved his hand to Zou Xueyu who was not far away: "That is the current prefect of Yingtianfu."
Zou Xueyu, who was suddenly named by his grandson, suddenly became nervous.
Then, everyone's eyes moved over, and Zou Xueyu became more and more uneasy.
I just came to see the fun, why was I named?
Even the officials of Ying Tianfu who were beside Zou Xueyu also lowered their heads.
Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth and introduced: "Ying Tianzhi Zou Xueyu, Jiaozhi Dao has been an official for three years. If Gu is not mistaken, three years ago he was just an ordinary student.
[In view of the general environment,
Subsequently, in the imperial examination, he was a member of the two lists, and he went south to Jiaozhi as an official.
He has been an official for three years, and the people's livelihood in the areas under his jurisdiction is stable, and taxes are increasing every year."
Zou Xueyu is not very old, but he has not been admitted several times in the past.
And when Zhu Yunxi introduced his identity and past, the prisoners present were surprised.
has only been an official for a few years, and he has already been an official to the prefect of Yingtian.
If you go up, it's probably the position of the six squires.
If it is released, it must be the three officials who are in charge of the government.
Zhu Yunxi smiled: "Lonely and you don't talk much, only one sentence."
His words are naturally more eye-catching than Xie Jin's words.
Cabinet Minister Gao Chunfeng is already a legend in the court today.
Since Gao Yangzhi entered the cabinet, he has become the most discussed and envied person in the country's prison.
Who doesn't want to be a Ming Gao Chunfeng?
But the prisoners only now found out that it was not only Gao Chunfeng, but also Zou Xueyu.
Zhu Yunxi said softly: "Whoever can feed the people of my Ming Dynasty will use whoever is alone, regardless of the six ministries and the cabinet!"
This is a question of distribution and balance of interests.
"It's time to eat!"
"It's time to eat!"
When the prisoners began to try to imagine that they would really become officials in the future, from the side of the Yamen of Shanglin Yuan, a group of people came over with steaming vats.
When they arrived, the smell of food wafted out.
Zhu Yunxi silently retreated into the distance.
Xie Jin stood up and said with a smile: "Let's all go to eat, and continue to dig sweet potatoes after eating." Don't give up halfway, and today I will stay here with you."
As he spoke, Xie Jin had already walked to a vat by himself,
Lift the lid and a cloud of heat spreads.
He had already taken out two roasted soft sweet potatoes from the bucket and walked over to Zhu Yunxi and handed one out.
And Yuan Sutai and the others who went to Lin Yuan Prison had another wooden barrel to share.
As for Zou Xueyu and the others, who came unexpectedly, they came over with curiosity.
The prisoners had been busy for most of the day, and by this time they were already hungry, and when they saw that the grandson, the elder of the pavilion, and the young master and others had something to eat, they immediately went over to the remaining wooden barrels.
"It's all sweet potatoes?"
The prisoners who gathered around found that there were only sweet potatoes in the wooden barrel, and there was nothing else to eat, so they couldn't help but hesitate.
It's just that there are always people who can't help but be hungry, so they take the sweet potatoes and go to the side to eat them in a big gulp.
In the air, the aroma of sweet potatoes became more and more intense.
Those inmates who were still a little uncertain finally couldn't help it, so they could only choose to eat a casual meal.
"Why does it smell so good?"
"Slow down, leave me another one!"
"Don't rob it, don't rob it, give it to me."
「……」
Either because of hunger, or because they ate sweet potatoes dug up today.
Every inmate who ate the sweet potato, his tired eyes, began to shine.
"Knowing the difficulties of agriculture and mulberry is just the beginning. No matter how much the truth says, it can't stop the wealth from moving people's hearts."
After gnawing a whole sweet potato cleanly, and quietly eating a few bites of the roasted burnt sweet potato skin, Zhu Yunxi whispered to Xie Jin beside him.
Xie Jin looked sideways.
Zhu Yunxi continued: "The second uncle is now presiding over the external inspection, what I mean is that if the Jinyi guard cooperates with the strict investigation, the imperial court must re-discipline a group of officials, kill chickens and monkeys, and at least let people inside and outside the court see clearly that corruption and perversion of the law cannot be done. At the very least, let them still have a trace of fear in their hearts before they do it."
Xie Jin nodded, whether it is Jingcha or Waicha, the imperial court always has to set up a few benchmarks to show the public.
After thinking about it, he changed his words and said, "The cabinet is discussing the matter of the death of the prince of Xinguo, and how the imperial court should deal with it. The prelude to the prelude of the ministers is right, His Majesty seems to be intent on sending his clan relatives and important ministers to Fengyang."
Zhu Yunxi's ears suddenly moved.
He slowly turned his head and looked at Xie Jin with fixed eyes.
"You don't want to say that that clan is me, right?"
