Chapter 487: Eternal Peace
Zhu Di's change of face is beyond everyone's imagination.
So much so that Hu Guang looked at Zhu Di and was still sighing about the difficulties of the people's livelihood, and was moved by the emperor's grandson talking about the hardships of the peasants, but in a blink of an eye, he saw that Zhu Di's tiger body was shocked, as if he had changed again.
The magnitude of the changes is truly breathtaking.
At this time, I heard Zhu Zhanji say: "Speaking of which, it is indeed not so fast, but when Sun Chen arrived in Hezhou to take up his post, Uncle transferred some officials to Hezhou. ”
"In addition, it is also convenient to calculate the money and grain of Hezhou, after all, most of them are foreign households, and all the migrated people have been unified to the throne, and there are also a number of merchants who have moved in. At the beginning, in order to welcome these migratory people, as well as merchants, Hezhou had already made some arrangements for a rainy day, so ......"
Zhu Di said with burning eyes: "How much money and food? ”
Zhu Zhanji said: "According to a rough estimate, if the summer tax is levied this year, the grain can be increased by 30% to 750,000 stones. Emperor, this is the name of a state, but in fact it is just a county, and the new policy has already been carried out, and it has increased by 30% this year, which is not easy. ”
Zhu Di listened to his head.
In fact, 750,000 stone is not a small amount.
Zhu Di was quite satisfied with this, and asked with great interest: "What about the others?" ”
Zhu Zhanji said: "The largest increase is the commercial tax and other miscellaneous taxes, if it is levied this year, I am afraid that the silver obtained will exceed 7.95 million taels." Compared with last year, it can be at least twenty-three times larger. ”
As soon as these words came out, Zhu Di gasped.
After all, Hezhou is a small place, and in Zhu Di's impression, it is rare to have 200,000 taels of silver tax in such a place.
To be honest, after all, not every place in the world is the Taiping Mansion, and there are many reasons why the Taiping Mansion can create miracles.
However, in just one and one state, the direct commercial tax has skyrocketed by more than 20 times, and in just one year, it can expand rapidly. What is this concept?
Such an increase is not even possible in the Taiping Mansion back then.
Zhu Di couldn't help but be moved: "How can there be so many?" ”
Zhu Zhanji said: "First, a large number of people have moved in, which has increased the number of households in this prefecture from 110,000 to more than 300,000, and the population has increased significantly. Secondly, there is a large influx of commercial goods, the imperial grandfather, and the influx of population in the state, but it is different from ordinary places, in the market, people say that a Hezhou Han, can reach the capital of 20 people. ”
"What this means is that the people of Hezhou who have poured in have silver, and their daily expenses on food, clothing, housing and transportation are far inferior to those of the people in the capital."
"Some people are willing to spend money, naturally there are a large number of merchants to sell goods, only less than a year of effort, the opening of shops, has exceeded the size of more than 2,000, this and the state, the sales of silk alone, more than half of the small Zhili."
"And this Hezhou, not far from the capital and Taipingfu, there is already a railway, plus there are a large number of ferries and wharves, convenient transportation, it is the hinterland of Zhili, therefore, with these migratory people, all industries are born, and it is not surprising that there is such a result."
Zhu Di listened, nodded constantly, his eyes flashed with a streamer, he looked very happy, and said, "Not bad, not bad, very good." Yang Qingjia, what do you think? ”
So at this time, everyone's eyes focused on Yang Rong's body.
Yang Rong walked out slowly and said, "Your Majesty, your political achievements are outstanding, and they are really extraordinary. ”
Zhu Di said: "In this way, my grandson is enough to be the second state pastor in the world." ”
The state pastor is synonymous with the magistrate, and Zhu Di is still very modest and does not say that his grandson is the first in the world.
Yang Rong smiled and said, "However, the minister thinks that ...... If it were only by migratory people, it would seem ...... It may not be a complete achievement. ”
As soon as Yang Rong's words came out, someone sweated for Yang Rong.
This is the emperor's grandson, but Yang Rong seems to have a lot of criticism for the emperor's grandson.
Only Hu Guang's face is expressionless, others may not know, he has spent a lot of time with Yang Rong, and he knows in his heart that this Yang Rong is a chicken thief, Yang Rong must have a reason for saying this.
Sure enough, instead of being angry, Zhu Di said with a smile: "What Yang Qing said is not unreasonable, Zhan Ji still needs to be modest, don't be complacent, after all...... This is the credit of the people who migrated. ”
Zhu Zhanji seemed to be agitated all of a sudden, he already had a maturity that did not match his own age, but after all, he still had the heart of a teenager after all, and immediately said: "Grandpa Huang, that's not what you said, the people who migrated from the state poured in all of a sudden, just a state and a state, how to settle it?" With so many people coming, how can we expand and build the urban area, how can we expand the port and wharf, and if there is a natural disaster and heavy rain, how can we divert water so that the low-lying areas of the urban area will not be flooded? ”
"Again...... There are so many people, there must be good and bad, and there are always people who commit adultery, so how can the state government deal with it. How should the gentry who migrated to be treated with them, and how should they be able to live and work in peace and contentment, but at the same time not make them arrogant and oppress the people? There is also a large number of merchants who have poured in since then, these merchants are coming for the money of the gentry and scholars, how to encourage and regulate them, all kinds of things, because of the special nature of the state, in the entire state capital of Zhili, can be said to be unprecedented, although there are some situations in the Taiping Mansion can be used for reference, but because of the difference with the state, it needs to have its own original way of coping. ”
"Grandpa Huang, just now my grandson talked about how difficult the people's livelihood is......" Zhu Zhanji groaned and continued: "But what is this people's character? When the grandchildren are studying, the teachers who teach the grandchildren to read also talk about the people every day. Sun Chen read poetry and books, and it was also difficult to say a lot of words of compassion for the people. But when his grandson was an official in the Taiping Mansion, he found that this one word of the people was really lazy to dominate the people of the world. ”
Zhu Zhanji said: "There are so many people in the world. Some people are engaged in business, some are working, some are farming, some are studying, some are beggars, some are monks, and their duties are different, and their livelihoods are also different. To govern them, or to be prejudiced, to regard only the scholars or the gentry as the people. Or if you generalize them, you can't distinguish between these people, the difference between their desires, how can you govern one side well? ”
"This is the case with Hezhou, the reason why people move in is because Hezhou can enable them to live and work in peace and contentment, and in order for them to live and work in peace and contentment, in addition to strict laws, different measures must be given to different people, so that they can keep to themselves. In addition, if you want commerce to prosper, you need to adopt a different approach. How can the painstaking efforts and the amount of thought required be summed up in a sentence the merits of the migrants? If so, then why don't these migrants go to other state capitals? Partial to this and the state? ”
Zhu Zhanji talked eloquently, Zhu Di listened to the constant nodding, the smile on his face became even bigger, and he kept saying: "Reasonable, reasonable, hey...... I can't think of such a truth on weekdays, Yang Qing, what else do you have to say? ”
Yang Rong, who was named, said with emotion at this time: "The words of the emperor and grandson, the ministers are taught, such amazing words, think about it carefully, but it is really reasonable. However, his subordinates have been in the center for a long time, and they can't think through it, and they are really ashamed. If the Ming Dynasty can have such a virtuous emperor and grandson, it will be glorious for all generations and open for peace for all generations. ”
These words made Zhu Di's heart bloom, not only did he feel that Yang Rong's words were harsh, but he felt that Yang Rong was cautious and would never blindly praise the emperor and grandson, but after carefully understanding it, he judged one thing according to his wisdom.
In this way, not only is the words of the last opening of the peace of the world very weighty, convincing, but also makes Zhu Di feel that Yang Rong is a stable person, and he is really old and seeking the country, which is not comparable to the ordinary people who have slipped around and patted horses.
Such people are truly trustworthy.
As for Zhu Zhanji, he couldn't help but be full of red light. People are like this, a man who often slaps in front of you, and says good things about you all the time, no matter how much he praises you, and uses the strength of breastfeeding, you will not be unfamiliar with his words.
can be a more sincere and stable person like Yang Rong, but an occasional compliment at this time has already made Zhu Zhanji feel fluttering.
Hu Guang saw all this in his eyes, although he knew Yang Rong's ability, he still couldn't help but be dumbfounded, there were still people who sweated Yang Rong, but now, ...... Some people are starting to reminisce.
Hu Guang knows Yang Rong's personality the most, and he also knows that this guy is scheming, and today's performance alone is enough for him to be regarded as a heart by the kings of the Ming Dynasty within Yang Rong III, Hu Guang felt sour in his heart and couldn't help muttering.
Zhu Di glanced at Hu Guang with a smile, and when he saw Hu Guang's lost soul, his face was slightly cold.
After the incident in Henan and Guanzhong, Zhu Di was a little contemptuous of Hu Guang, and immediately said: "What does Hu Qing think? ”
Hu Guang was stunned for a while, after all, his mind was on Yang Rong's response, and he was a little caught off guard at this time, hesitated for a long time, and then said to Ai Ai: "Yang Gong and his ministers, they usually feel how difficult the people's livelihood is. Yang Gong is resourceful, the minister has always admired it, and now he sees that the emperor Sun Zhi and the state are so good, Yang Gong said, and the minister empathizes with ......"
Zhu Di said impatiently: "You don't have to talk so much, be straightforward." ”
Hu Guang had no choice but to say: "The minister is the same." ”
Zhu Di bowed his head and said happily: "Hezhou, the credit is not small, and it is not the credit of the emperor and grandson, but in any case, the emperor and grandson have outstanding political achievements, which makes me happy. ”
So there was a pleasant atmosphere in this house, and everyone was brisk.
Zhu Di set his eyes on another person at this time, and said: "This is also inseparable from Zhang Qing's teaching, I handed over my grandson to Zhang Qing, which can be regarded as finding the right person." Zhang Qing ......"
Zhang Anshi hurriedly said: "The minister is here." ”
Zhu Di said with a smile: "I will have to mention more in the future." ”
Zhang Anshi said: "The ministers have been taught by His Majesty and the Crown Prince since he was a child, and this has made some progress, and now is the time to repay His Majesty's love and His Royal Highness the Prince's nurturing, and he will be broken bones, and he will also adjust His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun......"
Zhu Di even smiled when he heard it.
Hu Guang couldn't help but roll his eyes in his heart, look, all of them are capable, this An Shi is not a good stubble, in one sentence, I don't know how many mysteries and information are hidden.
It seems that he is the most stupid Hu Guang. Hu Guang couldn't help but want to scold his mother, and his heart was stuffed with uncomfortable this group of guys who had more eyes than a hornet's nest......
Everything that should be said was said, and the monarch didn't waste any more time here, so Yang Rong and the others said goodbye and returned to the aggrieved signing room.
Zhu Di left Zhang Anshi alone, put away his smile at this time, frowned lightly and said, "Zhang Qing, that Chen Deng...... So hard-hearted...... No longer delay. ”
Zhang Anshi said: "The minister is thinking of a way. ”
At the mention of Chen Deng, Zhu Di's expression became solemn again, and a little anger rose between his eyebrows, and said: "If this person doesn't speak, sooner or later he will leave a disaster...... is still so stubborn, could it be that Jinyiwei's punishment is still too light? ”
Zhang Anshi nodded and said: "What Your Majesty said is true, since this person can withstand such severe torture, the minister thinks that he must have some kind of ...... in his heart Wish. ”
"Hope?"
Zhu Di stared at Zhang Anshi.
Zhang Anshi said: "Yes, maybe he thinks that his comrades can really succeed...... So...... Only then did he grit his teeth and insist, after all, he already knew that he was dead, so it was better to simply ......"
Before Zhang Anshi could continue, Zhu Di obviously understood what he meant, so Zhu Di interrupted Zhang Anshi and said: "In this way, this case cannot be underestimated. ”
"Yes. Therefore, the minister thought that if he wanted to teach him to speak, he had to cut off his hope. Zhang Anshi said.
Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi seriously: "How to cut it off?" ”
Zhang Anshi thought for a while before saying, "The minister is thinking of a way...... Strive to ...... within these three to five days Teach this person to be completely compliant. ”
After hearing this, Zhu Di's face became gentle: "Time is already very urgent, so ...... Three or five days. ”
Zhang Anshi responded and immediately retired.
When they arrived at the Baihu Office, Chen Li and the others heard that Zhang Anshi had arrived, and hurriedly came out to greet them.
Zhang Anshi smiled and said, "How is it, how is it?" ”
Chen Li looked ashamed and said, "Your humble is still trying to figure out a way, this Chen Deng, it's really strange, no matter what...... He won't let go of his mouth either......"
Zhang Anshi raised his eyebrows and said, "Have you used all the punishments?" ”
"It's all used." Chen Li sighed with a little frustration: "Except for the means that may kill him, everything that should be on is up, but this person is stubborn, just gritting his teeth." ”
Zhang Anshi pursed his lips and said, "It's okay, I'll go see him." ”
As he spoke, he walked briskly forward, and soon came to the cage.
At this time, Chen Deng was already covered in bruises, the brocade clothes on his body were stained with blood, and his bloodshot lips were panting weakly, accompanied by painful moans, and the whole person was extremely embarrassed.
As soon as he saw Zhang Anshi come in, he closed his eyes, and he still made a painful sound, and now even this voice is gritting his teeth and holding it.
Zhang Anshi walked up to him slowly before saying, "I heard...... They've tortured you, but you still can't bite you, ...... Speaking of which, I, Zhang, also admire you, no matter what crime you commit, but it is not easy to persevere, if you are the king, I am afraid that I will not be able to hold on to a stick of incense. ”
Chen Deng opened his eyes slightly, and there was only a sneer on his face.
Zhang Anshi ignored his expression, and still said: "If you don't want to say it, this person must have a lot to do with you, and at the same time, you feel that this person may be successful, because you are willing to stick to it no matter what." But...... Do you really think you can make it happen? ”
Chen Deng still didn't say anything, only looked at Zhang Anshi coldly.
Zhang Anshi didn't care about his reaction, and continued to take care of himself: "That's right, after the New Deal, many people in the world are resentful, and this king admits this. During the Song Dynasty, Wang Anshi changed the law, but it was only a slight change, and it had been a troublesome thing for decades. ”
Zhang Anshi said: "But today's new deal is ten times more intense than the new deal in the Song Dynasty, how can it be...... How can this grievance be easily resolved? At the end of the day, at this point...... In addition to swords and soldiers, even rivers of blood are actually commonplace. ”
After hearing this, Chen Deng's chapped lips squirmed, and finally said: "The initiator, what does it do?" ”
Zhang Anshi smiled and said: "You don't have to drag any words with me, I know that you are good at reasoning, and this king is not your opponent." Presumably at this time, you are still convinced that you people ...... It's going to be successful in the future, right? ”
Chen Deng said coldly: "Thieves can only be rampant for a while. ”
With that, he coughed violently, and with each cough, he touched the wounds all over his body, and his face became distorted with pain.
Zhang Anshi said: "But I want to tell you that your calculations have no chance of winning at all, this king knows what you are thinking in your heart, but if this king tells you, all this is just wishful thinking, you won't believe it, after all, ...... Bigotry makes you lose your judgment. ”
Chen Deng finally stopped coughing, but he didn't care about it, he wanted to snort coldly, but he didn't make a sound.
Zhang Anshi said: "But it doesn't matter, in two days, this king can teach you ...... You're all done, can you believe it? ”
Chen Deng's face showed a look of sarcasm.
This time, he didn't say a word again, and his answer was written on his face.
Of course, Zhang Anshi had already predicted this, so he naturally didn't get angry, so he sighed: "Come on, treat his injuries, change into clean clothes, and in these two days, you don't have to be tortured." ”
Chen Li, who followed behind, couldn't help but be slightly startled, and immediately said, "Your Highness...... This ......"
Zhang Anshi said: "Since torture doesn't work, do you have to beat him to death?" To be a man, you have to know how to be flexible, and the same is true for Jinyiwei, this Jinyiwei is not fighting and killing all day long. Whatever happens, wait two days. ”
Chen Li hurriedly lowered his head in shame, and said respectfully: "Yes, humbly obey orders!" ”

And also!
