It's June.

Recently, many people in many places in the north have found that this year's climate is somewhat dry, which can be called unusually dry.

After the beginning of spring, the rain became very scarce, and even there were signs of drought, and there was simply not a drop of rain in Henan, and the wheat seedlings died in large areas, and the people had begun to flee with their families and small families.

In Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Huguang, and many other areas in the south, the rainy season has continued continuously, and small-scale floods have already broken out, causing losses to the lives and property of many people, and more than 100,000 hectares of cultivated land have been affected.

The abnormal climate caused by the Xiaoice Age predicted in Xujiazhuang's "Oriental Times", and the phenomenon of flooding in the south and drought in the north were actually accurately said, like the power of gods and ghosts.

Panicky.

And then there was panic.

Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen, many times at the court meeting, proposed to increase the intensity of disaster relief, but there are few positive responses, many civil officials are still the same, asking the emperor to self-examine, to save money and no longer extravagant, if it is not good, he will issue an edict to move the heavens, maybe the drought and floods will stop.

Of course, if you want to take actual disaster relief actions, you can also take money! If we take out money from the internal treasury, there will be no money in the treasury for a long time, and we, the ministers, are eating the soil, and if the internal treasury does not pay for it, we will not be able to fight the disaster and provide disaster relief.

In the face of these hob-like civil ministers, Zhu Youzhen had no choice but to give up discussing disaster relief at the court meeting, and held several cabinet meetings in the Wenhua Hall to discuss the matter with the cabinet elders.

Shoufu Wen Tiren said: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has no money, and there is nothing that can be done about these catastrophes, so I can only issue an order to let the state and county officials inform them of the situation, let the people help each other and save themselves, and reduce or exempt some taxes this year, which is the limit of what the imperial court can do." ”

Wu Zongda, the second assistant, said: "If Your Majesty cannot sit idly by, you must take precautions and reduce the losses of the victims, at least 3 million silver dollars, or even 5 million silver dollars, so as to achieve a better disaster relief effect, and the state and county officials in various places will also do their best." ”

University scholar Qian Shisheng also said: "Yes, Your Majesty, if you want the horse to run, you have to give the horse grass, this court does not give anything, just a will, except for a small number of capable ministers, how many people will pay out of their own pockets and do things solidly?" What's more, if there is a big disaster this year, the prefectures and counties will not be able to raise money and food, even if they have the heart to do something, they will not be able to do anything. ”

Wang Yingxiong, a university scholar, came up with an idea: "It's better for Your Majesty to guarantee in the name of the royal family, and then find Tianxiatong Bank to borrow 10 million silver dollars for disaster relief, anyway, Xujiazhuang has money, and it doesn't hurt to borrow a little, and it will be paid back slowly." ”

Listened to the words of these old scholars.

Chongzhen's face was very ugly, if he didn't take care of his demeanor and decency, he would have scolded him.

Hob meat.

These old bachelors are also hob meat!

Except for Qian Shisheng's strategy of borrowing money, there is simply no one who is reliable, and none of them are willing to pluck the hair from themselves, and those who propose to let the gentry and rich families contribute money and food to help with disaster relief are all selfish people.

What's more, is Xujiazhuang's money so easy to borrow? I don't look at how many contracts and agreements I have signed, how much price and benefits I have paid, borrowing money is cool for a while, and it is even more pleasant to spend money, the problem is that no matter how much I borrow, I will have to repay it sooner or later, and if I can't pay it back, I have to come up with something to pay off my debts, and even leave huge debts to future generations, which are difficult to get rid of, like being bundled and unlocked.

Therefore, reason told Zhu Youzhen that if he could not borrow this money, he would not borrow, if he could borrow less, he would borrow less, and if he had the ability to repay it, he would pay it back as soon as possible.

Nothing.

The cabinet meeting also failed to discuss anything, and it was not resolved.

Wait for the old scholars to leave.

"Hey~"

Zhu Youzhen, who was sitting on the soft chair, couldn't help but sigh and felt very helpless.

He couldn't help but think of the debate meeting between Xujiazhuang and Confucianism in late April, when Zhu Youzhen was also concerned about the whole process, eagerly hoping that Confucianism would win, and that he would be able to make Xujiazhuang embarrassed and suffer a humiliating defeat.

As a result, it was Confucianism that was completely defeated, and through these ten debates, the essence of Confucianism was cleaned up, and there was no underwear left.

The loyal dog of the imperial power - the loyal dog of the non-emperor, whoever has the imperial power will support whom.

The evil spirits of the people, the evil spirits that oppress and exploit the people.

Most of the incompetent mediocre people are unable to govern the country in peace, or govern the country by mouth, and most of them are selfish.

Zhu Youzhen didn't quite accept these ugly descriptions, how could his courtiers and ministers be so unbearable?

But now it seems that Xu Jiazhuang's description of the characteristics of Confucianism cannot be said to be 100% correct, and it is at least five or six points right, after all, the "Oriental Times" issued a natural disaster warning in early March this year, but after such a long time, he has asked for four or five holy decrees for disaster prevention in various places, but very little attention has been paid to it, and even fewer have taken action, and it is simply watching the occurrence of natural disasters and being powerless.

In the words of the Oriental Times, this is called lying flat, lying flat irresponsibly.

But as an emperor, what can he do? That's right, he has a little money in his pocket, but with only one or two million silver dollars, how can he alleviate the natural disasters in the entire Ming Dynasty?

I can only sit here and sigh.

"Your Majesty~"

The eunuch Wang Chengen came over and persuaded: "You have been working too hard lately, how can you carry such a big stall alone?" Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been quite successful in his studies recently, and he has learned a few songs in the past few days, so His Majesty might as well go to the East Palace to have a look, assess the prince, and relax his dragon body. ”

"Okay, good idea."

Zhu Youzhen's eyes lit up, it was true that he hadn't seen the prince much for a while, and he missed it a little.

And I don't know how his schoolwork is doing, is it a little sparse or a little diligent? I've got to take the school exam.

"Let's go, big companion, let's go."

Zhu Youzhen immediately got up and said.

……

East Palace.

After the examination, Zhu Youzhen was very satisfied.

I haven't seen him for a while, but the prince's schoolwork has been greatly improved, his literacy is more than 500, he can read some simple articles, and he also learns mathematics very well, which is not much worse than when he was a child.

"Father, father, I also learned three very beautiful songs, and I want to sing them to my father." The crown prince Zhu Cihong said with a look of wanting to show off.

"My son has even learned to sing, okay, you come and sing, and my father will listen to it." Zhu Youzhen said happily.

"Uh-huh~"

Zhu Cihong cleared his throat, stood up straight, smoothed his breath, and said with a glance: "The first song "Country" is dedicated to my father. ”

Then they started singing.

A jade mouth China, a tile roof into a family

It is said that the country is very big, but in fact it is a home

Fill the country with one heart and support the family with one hand

Home is the smallest country, and the country is tens of millions

In the kingdom of the world, in the home of heaven and earth

Only when there is a strong country can there be a rich home

……

The house of the kingdom dwells in the heart, and the kingdom of the house stands in peace

The country is the perseverance of honor, and the home is overflowing with happiness

Every inch of land in the country, every footprint of the home

The country and the family are connected to create the miracle of the world

The country is my country, and the home is my home

I love my country, I love my home

I love my ......... country

"Father, there is also the second song "Wanjiang", dedicated to my father."

Zhu Cihong continued to sing:

Write only one corner of the sky, the sun and the moon are long

Painting the earth, only a corner of the mountains and rivers are unharmed

Looking at the eternal ages, heaven and earth have admired together for 5,000 years

Only Yan Huang, open heart, one body to the Quartet

……

The red sun rises in the east, and its avenue is full of glow

How fortunate I am to have been born in your arms

Inherit a vein of blood flowing

It is difficult to be the same, the blessing is shared, and the ridge beam is erected

Our country is full of benevolence

A thousand-year-old faith

"There is also, the third song "Huaxia Boy", dedicated to his father."

As soon as the first two songs were sung, the breath had not yet returned to normal, and the little Zhu Cihong continued to sing in a crisp voice:

The wisdom of the youth is the wisdom of the country

When the youth is rich, the country is rich

When the youth is strong, the country is strong

……

Teenagers have their own juvenile madness

The heart is like the sun

There are so many obstacles that stand in my way

Today, I am the only young man

The sky is high, the sea is wide, and the sea is long

The Chinese teenager is high-spirited

Be angry and strive to be a pillar

Live up to the youth

……

All three songs were sung.

Zhu Cihong, who was a little out of breath, said: "Father, I can't sing alone, the teacher said that these songs need to be sung by many children to be good, and after a while, I will call my younger brothers and sisters together, form a royal choir, sing these songs together, sing them to my father and queen mother, sing them to the ministers, and record them into records, so that everyone in the world can hear them......" Five-year-old Zhu Cihong seems to have ignited his interest in being a singer star.

However, when he saw the performance of his father Zhu Youzhen, he was stunned for a moment, and asked puzzledly: "Father, why are you crying?" Has someone bullied you, I'll help you teach him a lesson! ”

"No, it's just that the wind and sand are getting into my eyes."

Zhu Youzhen lifted the sleeves of his dragon robe, wiped his moist eyes, and turned around to hide his embarrassment.

Naturally, he was not squinted by the wind and sand, but really cried, and was moved to tears.

For example, the spirit of patriotism and love for the family in the first song "Country", and it is extremely rare that the country is put before the home, and the deafening lyrics of "With a strong country, there is a rich home", and now in the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there are only a few people who can have such ideological awareness, I am afraid that there are very few, above the Ming Dynasty, the well-dressed beasts of the Manchu Dynasty, how many can have such an awareness?

The second song "Wanjiang" directly made Zhu Youzhen's eyes red, and he cried on the spot, why? Patriotic spirit, he saw a precious patriotic spirit from it, especially the sentence "How fortunate I am to be born in your arms, inheriting a vein of blood", which not only shows the love for this land, but also contains the idea of loyalty, because patriotism is loyalty, the two are inseparable, and the title of the song "Wanjiang" is not only a personal Wanjiang, but also a Wanjiang belonging to the emperor, which is actually singing the praises of imperial power, and is the deepest love of a Ming people for the empire.

How could he not be moved?

Of course, who is the creator of these songs, Zhu Youzhen knew as soon as he heard the content that it must be the owner of Xu Yuan Xu Zhuang in Xujiazhuang, Jiangnan, the man who was regarded by him Zhu Youzhen as the biggest threat and opponent.

But can someone who can write a song like "Wanjiang" be a bad person? How bad can the quality be? Could it really be a scheming, treacherous and sinister person?

I thought of Xu Jiazhuang lending money to the royal family again and again, with low interest or even no interest, and helped him tide over the difficulties again and again.

There is also a contribution made in the process of exterminating the rogues.

Directly recreate the contribution made by the minions.

There are also the establishment of banks, the issuance of new money, the elimination of bad currency, the stabilization of the economic order of the Ming Dynasty, so that the Ming economy has become more prosperous.

Fang Yizhi implemented the "Royal Farm Plan", and Xu Jiazhuang also provided a lot of help.

One by one, Zhu Youzhen touched his conscience and said, is Xu Jiazhuang helping him or harming him?

Compared with those incompetent, shameless, and useless civil officials, what did Xu Jiazhuang do, which one of the things that the civil officials couldn't do, but helped wipe their butts?

But he has always distrusted, always guarded and suspicious of him, but he doesn't want to think about it, if Xu Jiazhuang really takes refuge in and serves the imperial court, under the constraints and suppression of those civil officials, what role can he play, and how much ability can he play? It is the smartest and most effective thing to confront the civil officials and Confucianism.

Now I hear this song "Wanjiang" that seems to show my heart.

An electric light flashed in Zhu Youzhen's brain!

I see.

He figured it all out.

It turns out that Xu Yuan, the owner of Xujiazhuang, is the most loyal and patriotic person in the world!

I misunderstood him, I blamed him, I may owe him a few sorry words, because that Xu Yuan Xu Zhuang is the one who has been carrying the weight for Da Ming and resisting the darkness!

This moment.

Zhu Youzhen, who fell into a perceptual cognitive state, had a big misunderstanding of Xu Jiazhuang.
