Chapter 208: The people can't figure out what they want, what kind of officials are you?
The first new school in Beijing, in a classroom.
Hundreds of boys, of all ages, earnestly held the books in their hands and listened eagerly to the lecture of a middle-aged scribe on the podium.
The boys, though dressed in shabby clothes and patched, had very well protected the books in their hands from the sweat that fell from their foreheads and chins.
They cherish this opportunity to change their fate very much, and they are unwilling to miss every word that Mr. said, and they don't even dare to do the small action of raising their heads to wipe their sweat, for fear that they will miss what Mr. said if they get distracted.
"Students, that's all for today's lesson."
The middle-aged scribe closed the book in his hand, picked up the towel that had been soaked in sweat and wiped his face, looked at the unfinished child below, and said with a smile: "Today's homework is the one we are studying today, and I recite "My Grandfather Hongwu the Great". ”
"While reciting it, you should also think carefully about what His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wants to express when he writes this article."
"Tomorrow I will be next to the spot check, if anyone doesn't memorize, but they will be hand-checked! Whoever answers satisfactorily and reciting smoothly will have a mystery reward! ”
"Yes, sir!"
The mystery reward attraction is very large, and the children are excited to answer in unison.
The middle-aged scholar nodded with a smile, and was about to get out of class after packing his things, but as soon as he picked up his things, he suddenly thought of something.
He patted his forehead helplessly.
Just thinking about the lecture, I almost forgot the words of the sacrificial wine.
"Kids, wait!"
The students who were packing their schoolbags stopped what they were doing, sat down in the most standard sitting position, and looked at the gentleman on the podium.
"This afternoon's martial arts class is gone, you go back and inform your father or brother to come over and tell them that the teacher wants to convey the order of His Royal Highness Taisun!"
The middle-aged scholar didn't talk much.
These children are still young, they can't remember too much, and even when they go home to pass the message, they may pass the wrong message, so just let them go back and inform their parents.
Knowing that the afternoon martial arts class was no longer available, many students wailed.
As naughty boys, martial arts classes where they can touch various wooden weapons are their favorite.
Although they also like to learn, it is more fun to learn to fight with a sword and follow a martial arts instructor.
The benefits of the first batch of part-time jobs, Zhu Zhangui decided to give these parents of new school children.
These children will be his first batch of backbones in the future, and they are all his own people, and the benefits will of course be given to his own people.
In the afternoon, an old farmer or a middle-aged young man came to the bright classroom with some restraint.
In the concept of these illiterate old peasants, the school that imparts knowledge, which is linked to their own ancestral hall, is a place where they are in awe.
A man of five big and three thick sat carefully on his son's small stool.
In order not to destroy his son's desk, he sat with his butt cocked and half-pulled. The rough big hands did not dare to touch it, for fear that the strength would damage the things that his son was reading, and then the teacher was angry and drove his son out and stopped teaching his son to read.
This man is a butcher, and according to the requirements of the first batch of recruits, his son will not be able to enter the school.
But who made him have a good brother?
His brother joined the army during the Jingjing Dynasty and was killed in the attack on Jinling.
Because his brother had no heirs, and his parents died when he was young, the benefits given by the court fell on his head.
At this time, the man was a little nervous, thinking in his heart what did Mr. call him to do?
Is it that his son got into trouble in the school and called himself over to be scolded?
For this reason, he had already beaten his son at noon.
"Hey, little tiger, you're here!"
Just when the man was nervous, an old voice sounded beside him.
The man turned his head to look and saw his neighbor Uncle Zhang walking in on crutches.
"Alas, just came here for a while, why are you here, isn't Ergou and his father free?"
The old man smiled and sat down in his grandson's chair.
"Didn't the emperor increase his troops, Ergou's father was selected, and he has already gone to the barracks, and his mother is a woman's family, so it's not appropriate to come here, so I'll come here, old man."
"Oooh!"
The man nodded and said no more.
This is a school, not a meat stall on the street, if you can keep quiet, try to keep quiet, talk loudly and noisyly, if you annoy Mr., it will be a big trouble.
More and more people are coming.
The room, which was originally quite loose for nearly 100 children, was squeezed in by more than 100 adults, and it seemed a little crowded.
Although these 100 people didn't know a single big word, they were full of respect for the school, and after coming in, they found their children's seats, nodded and said hello to the people they knew, and sat there and waited.
When the crowd was almost there, the gentleman who was teaching walked in at noon.
"Mr. Su, good!"
"Mr. Su, good afternoon!"
"Mr. Su,......"
A polite greeting sounded.
Mr. Su didn't put on a show, let alone look down on these vulgar peasant households.
Whoever greeted him, he responded with a smile.
Walking to the podium, Mr. Su coughed lightly in his throat, and the bottom instantly became quiet, and even his breathing was much lowered.
"I summoned you here today to convey the order of His Royal Highness Taisun!"
Mr. Su got straight to the point and explained something directly.
It's a hot day, and there are so many adults crowded in the house, he is afraid that someone will be so hot that they will suffer from heat stroke.
"Whoa..."
As soon as Mr. Su started, the parents of the children who were sitting and listening to him quickly got up and bowed.
Zhu Zhangui gave their children the opportunity to change their fate, and their respect and awe for Zhu Zhangui have surpassed the benevolent crown prince, and even faintly equal to the current emperor.
Therefore, when they heard that Mr. Su said that it was Zhu Zhangui's order, they subconsciously knelt down and listened to the holy decree.
"Well, no, no, get up and listen!"
Mr. Su was startled and hurriedly jumped to the side.
He can't afford this ceremony, not to mention that there are old people who are a few rounds older than him below.
Receiving the gift of the old man, isn't this a discount for his life?
"You just sit and listen, you don't need to salute, I just simply convey the words of His Royal Highness Taisun."
Looking at the people kneeling on the ground, Mr. Su hurriedly asked everyone to get up.
The butcher, who was kneeling a head taller than everyone else, shook his head.
"Mr. Su, let's listen on our knees, His Royal Highness Taisun has the grace of reinvention for our children, his old man's words, we don't kneel to listen, I always feel that we are offending his old man."
"Yes, Mr. Su, you just sit while we are sitting."
Hearing everyone's words, Mr. Su couldn't cry or laugh.
persuaded everyone to get up several times, but in desperation, he could only stand at the door to avoid everyone's salute and convey Zhu Zhangui's words.
"Everyone, His Royal Highness Taisun needs a group of people to go to a place to do something, and the general thing is ......"
"Let's go!"
"I'll go home and pack my things."
Mr. Su hadn't finished speaking, when he just said that Zhu Zhangui needed a group of people to go to a place to do something.
The men below directly agreed.
There were even some anxious people who were ready to get up and go home to pack up their things and go to the gathering.
Mr. Su: ......
"Don't worry, everyone, listen to me first, and I haven't mentioned the issue of remuneration."
"Needless to mention Mr. Su, as many of us are willing, even if we don't get paid."
"Yes, His Royal Highness the grandson has the grace of reinventing our little cubs, let alone doing some work, even if you give up your life, we have no complaints."
"That's right, Mr. Su, there's no need to talk about the remuneration or anything, let's finish the work first, and when it's done, His Royal Highness Taisun will look at it."
Listen to the sincere words of the men. Mr. Su sighed in his heart.
Zhu Zhangui's appeal among these parents of students is not ordinarily strong.
He even suspected in his heart that if Zhu Zhangui wanted to rebel now, these parents would not hesitate to support Zhu Zhangui.
"Don't worry, everyone, you listen to me first, and then decide whether to go or not."
Seeing that everyone was going back to prepare, Mr. Su hurriedly stopped everyone and quickly showed everyone what Zhu Zhangui wanted to convey.
"Looking at foreign slaves farming, managing warehouses, getting different wages according to the harvest every year, managing more than 1,000 acres of land, guaranteeing 20 taels of silver per year, and rewarding more than a certain harvest, including food and housing, working for 5 years, and transporting the package back and forth."
Hearing this treatment, the men who were originally going to go were even more excited.
Not to mention those low-income military households, even the butchers who are five big and three rough are very moved.
He got up early every day and greedily slaughtered animals and sold meat, shaved out food, drink and costs, and saved four or five taels of silver in a year.
If you work for His Royal Highness the Grand Sun, it will be 20 taels a year, and it will be 100 taels in five years.
Moreover, His Royal Highness Taisun also includes food and drink, plus there is spring all year round, and there is no need to change clothes frequently.
There is no excessive spending, it is absolutely no problem to save seventy or eighty taels of silver in 5 years, and if you plant more and get a reward, it is also possible to have more than 100 taels of silver.
After a simple calculation in his heart, the butcher made a decision in his heart, and he was determined to do this job.
As for the stall at home, you can let your brother-in-law do it, doesn't that kid want to do this business for a long time, just give it to him directly, and make a lot of money by himself.
The word part-time job quickly spread among the people.
Any news that can make money is the fastest spreading.
In less than two days, the people of Daming almost all knew the news of going to work in the Three Kingdoms to earn a lot of money.
Many people were very impressed by this and asked about the accuracy of the message and the inside story of it.
When they learned that they could get such a high salary just by going to Ah Sanguo, taking care of the simple work of slave farming and taking care of the warehouse, more people were tempted.
In their opinion, this is a part-time job, it is simply to go there to be an uncle.
Although they have never taken care of slaves, they have never eaten pork and have seen pigs run.
The landlords and old fortunes in the village behave in their daily lives, they are very clear.
Tell them to fight and do some technical work, and they may not be able to.
But just managing slaves and watching a warehouse is really not a difficult thing for the people.
And more importantly, this is still led by His Royal Highness Taisun.
For His Royal Highness, the military households admired him from the bottom of their hearts, and the farmers also had a good impression of His Royal Highness the Emperor under the influence of the military households.
On the day of the recruitment of workers, the major recruitment points were almost overcrowded.
The family has a little land, and the grain grown pays rent, which is at most enough for the family to eat.
After cutting the seeds that were planted in the spring of the following year, there was no storage at all, let alone selling them for money.
If there are seven or eight people in the family, let alone saving money, they won't even be able to eat.
Now that there is an opportunity to make a lot of money easily, military households and ordinary people will naturally not give up.
As for those who have left their homes or something, they don't care at all, they don't have any money and it's important to feed their families.
In just three days, more than 400,000 people were enrolled at major registration points.
For migrant workers, not everyone can go, and Zhu Zhangui has strict requirements.
Don't be too old, don't be too young, don't be sick.
After all, if you have to cross the ocean, you can't survive if you have physical symptoms.
"How could there be so many people, wouldn't it be the people below who pulled the strong Ding to make a strong move!"
Inside the Shang Study.
Yang Shiqi and several elders looked at the report in their hands and frowned.
Yang Shiqi felt that this data was a bit fake, and suspected that it was the people of the Chamber of Commerce below who forcibly recruited the strong men in the name of the imperial court in order to complete the indicators.
Zhu Chupang also frowned.
If this is the case, his son's chamber of commerce will be purged.
It's only been a long time since such a problem has appeared, and if you don't manage it well, I'm afraid there will be a big mess in the future.
In fact, Zhu Zhangui also thought so at the beginning, thinking that it was the people below, the people who recruited him in his name for merit.
It's hard to leave your homeland.
This is the belief in the bones of the Han people.
Just like in a year of famine, many people would not leave their hometowns and go elsewhere to escape if they were not about to starve to death.
For this reason, he planned to have people find out who came up with this idea.
If you find it, you will definitely be punished severely.
But just as he was about to send someone to investigate, Hu Yu's words woke up Zhu Zhangui.
At that time, when he was waiting for Ji Gang, Hu Yu, who was following on the side, said boldly.
"Your Highness, the slave interjects!"
"The reason why you think this data is fake is because you are never short of money and live a life of fine clothes and food."
"But the people are different from the military households, even if it is not a year of famine, it is a very luxurious thing for them to have enough to eat, let alone save money."
"The treatment we offer is nothing to the powerful sons, but for ordinary people and military households, this is simply giving them money."
"If this matter is put on the slave maid, the slave and the maid will not hesitate to sign up."
"As far as the little work you asked to go down, for the people, this is to work, this is simply to go to the big man to lie down and receive money. And it also includes food and lodging, including round-trip pick-up, and I can't meet a good thing like this in 800 years, isn't it a fool to go. ”
Thinking of what Hu Yu said at that time, Zhu Zhangui also smiled bitterly in his heart.
I have had too many good days, and I have forgotten the hard work and poverty life in my previous life.
If someone gave him this kind of treatment in his previous life, and it was guaranteed by the state, he would have joined in with his head.
Looking up at Zhu Fat and the few people who were still frowning and thinking, Zhu Zhangui explained to them.
"This number is true, and it stopped recruiting in time. Otherwise, according to the time we gave at the beginning, this amount will at least double! ”
Yang Shiqi retorted with some disbelieving.
"How is it possible, this is a long way to go to another place, and you have to take care of so many people's land and granaries,..."
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Zhu Zhangui stretched out his hand to stop him.
"The reason why you think like this, Master Yang, is because you are well fed and clothed, you are not short of money, and your family has not starved to death in a disaster year!"
"If you have experienced this kind of life, let alone leaving your hometown, as long as you have the backing of the imperial court, you will dare to do anything to kill people and set fires."
Yang Shiqi was stunned.
Zhu Fatpang and several other elders of the six departments were also thoughtful.
"You guys!"
Zhu Zhangui stretched out his hand and nodded at the few people who fell silent.
"You have been on the high for too long, and when you think about problems, you will subconsciously think about it in your own capacity."
"But this is just your thinking, not what the people think and need."
Standing up, Zhu Zhangui said earnestly to several elders at the highest level of the Ming Dynasty in front of him.
"I have time to go down to the people, take a walk and ask. As an important minister of the court, you don't even know what the people think and what they need, what kind of official are you! ”
"There are sages who say that they should establish their hearts for heaven and earth, establish their lives for the people, continue their studies for the saints, and open peace for all generations."
"You have studied the knowledge of the saints all your life, and you can't even figure out what the common people think, let me say something ugly, have you read this knowledge into the belly of a dog?"
"Actually, it's not just you, down to the county officials, up to the first-class officials, and when you think about a few problems, you really think about the people."
"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize a boat, you know the meaning of this sentence better than me, think about it. I will propose to the emperor to conduct a census when I go back, if you don't meet the requirements, I think you should not be an official, not only do you live up to the words of the sage, but also harm others and yourself, and even harm the people. ”
