When the sky collapsed and the earth cracked, he did not die, did not hide, and he was still beautiful.

For the miserable life of the people like hell, there is nothing to say, just be their "Yan Shenggong".

The newspapers continued to criticize the descendants of Confucius, and the "Daming Forum", which represented the emperor's will, dared to do this, and the meaning behind it was obvious.

Launching a public opinion offensive first has always been the emperor's trick. Now that the emperor's meaning has been made clear, who dares to go against the wind and provoke long live?

Kong Yanzhi, the contemporary Yansheng Gong, finally couldn't sit still and defended himself. But the emperor did not reply, but did not mention it.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to argue for Kong Yanzhi, the facts are there, and the emperor did not want to overthrow Kong Sheng, but was dissatisfied with his descendants.

Compared with the verbal and written criticism of the descendants of the Confucian family, the emperor also took out the money to renovate the Temple of Literature, which can be described as a combination of grace and power.

Finally, Kong Yanzhi resigned. The emperor was very happy this time, and quickly approved the approval.

The title of Yan Shenggong was cancelled, and Kong Yanzhi was renamed the enshrined official of the Most Holy Ancestor of Dacheng. At this point, the iron rice bowl that had been followed for six or seven hundred years was declared to be over.

The goal was achieved, and the emperor published an article in the newspaper, titled "For the country and the people, forever", which can be regarded as the end of the suppression of the Confucian family.

Confucius is Confucius Sheng, and descendants are descendants. Qin Hui has been infamous for thousands of years, but his grandson is fierce against gold; Fan Zhongyan is admired for all generations, but the descendants have Fan Wencheng, a big traitor.

The emperor also expressed his preferences and intentions through this article. To contribute to the country, share weal and woe, and seek well-being for the people, such people, such officials, are what the imperial court needs and must vigorously advocate.

Otherwise, no matter how glorious your ancestors are, you will not be allowed to lie on the merits of your ancestors and enjoy them.

"Long live-" Yuan Keli, who returned to his hometown in Henan after Zhishi, shook his head and smiled bitterly, both speechless and accustomed to what this emperor's student did.

There are always deviant actions, but they are thoughtful, whether it is the timing or the reason, they are all very good.

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Yuan Keli turned his head to the housekeeper and asked, "How is the purchased grain, and when will it arrive?" ”

The housekeeper hurriedly bowed down and said, "Go back to the master, according to the itinerary, you should go ashore." The specific day, the old slave can't say well. ”

After a pause, the housekeeper added: "It is carried by the Yangtze River Chamber of Commerce, and it has a good reputation." Moreover, they don't dare to be perfunctory. ”

Hmph, Yuan Keli gently patted the table and said, "I've said it twice, don't call me a master again." ”

"Yes, yes." The housekeeper hurriedly laughed and said, "The old man is angry." ”

Yuan Keli waved his hand, got up and paced to the window, looked at the flower garden outside, and sighed: "The big disaster was really expected to be longlive, several provinces have disasters, and it is really not easy to maintain the stability of the country!" ”

The housekeeper nodded vigorously and said, "Isn't there anyone like the old man who worries about the country and the people, and when they work together in the same boat, they can always get through difficult times." ”

Yuan Keli shook his head and said, "Leading the imperial court, no matter how much effort you don't make, your conscience will be uneasy." What's more, it's for the sake of the township. It's not for welfare, it's just for them to have food and clothing. ”

History has completely changed, but nature is still developing according to its original trajectory, showing the power of catastrophe.

In the seventh year of the Apocalypse, there was a severe drought in northern Shaanxi;

In the tenth year of the apocalypse, there was a severe drought in Shaanxi Province;

In the eleventh year of the Apocalypse, there was a great drought in Henan;

In the twelfth year of the Apocalypse, there was a great drought in Shanxi;

The arid areas are advancing from east to south, the old ones are continuing, and new ones are emerging every year.

The imperial court is making every effort to provide disaster relief, and local governments continue to transport grain and store grain. There is Mekong Province, there is Jiangnan, there is also the newly occupied Burma land, and the grain purchased from all over the country can be transported to the disaster area, so as long as it can be transported to the disaster area, there will be no major unrest.

That is to say, there is food, mainly because it is more difficult to transport. The sea is transported to Zhigu, the river is transported to the Yangtze River, and the land route is transported by relay, and the people basically do not go out of the province.

In addition to the imperial court, the gentry, landlords, and merchants were also mobilized to join in the action of purchasing and storing grain. The emperor sent a message that they could make some profit from it, but the amplitude should be strictly controlled.

In other words, you can make money by selling grain, but if you raise prices or hoard them, you will be guilty of breaking the law and committing crimes, and you will be severely punished.

It has become a consensus that the government and the private sector should work together to fight natural disasters. Under the emperor's prestige, whoever dares to touch the moldy head, beheaded and exiled is waiting for you.

Successive droughts have made water transportation on the Yangtze River the main way to transport grain.

The Yangtze River Chamber of Commerce has been supported and rewarded by the imperial court for this reason, and it is important to make money, but several leaders of the Yangtze River Chamber of Commerce are more interested in social status and a brighter future.

Following the Governor of Luzon, the Governor of Pontianak, Yan Siqi, also took office, and the Lord of Tampasid, Lim Tian Sheng, was also appointed by the imperial court.

Although the Changjiang Chamber of Commerce is a mainland business, it also has ties with the General Chamber of Commerce, and they are also eyeing overseas businesses and actively investing in the "Huaxia Longteng" company.

The salt merchants, who had huge wealth in their hands but were cut off by the salt reform, also began to shift their attention and put their money into it, thinking of making a lord or governor.

Although the catastrophe continued, the level of activity within the Ming Empire was greater than before. The flow of capital and personnel has been active, which has greatly alleviated the difficulties of the people at the bottom.

The resettlement work has been carried out in an orderly manner, with the call of "the tiller has his land", and the areas in the northeast, east, south, and south Mekong have been continuously absorbing the migrants and speeding up development and construction.

The cash-for-work scheme in the disaster-stricken areas continued, and the construction of roads, bridges, water conservancy facilities, cities, and large-scale slab-track railways enabled the people in the disaster-stricken areas to have work and food, and the society could maintain stability.

And all this is unique in history. If it weren't for the emperor's precautions, if it weren't for the hard order, it would be difficult to imagine the chaos of the catastrophe in several provinces and the turmoil in society.

Therefore, when the catastrophe came as scheduled and intensified, the emperor's prestige was greatly enhanced.

Similarly, the performance of local officials has been examined in times of great disaster. Capable officials emerged, and mediocre people were deposed and punished.

Moreover, even when he was fully prepared for the catastrophe, the emperor's expansion plan was not interrupted or stopped. Transferring contradictions and plundering wealth has become an effective means to alleviate major disasters.

After more than two years of preparations, the Southwest Tusi will launch a new round of military operations. This time, their target was set on Tianzhu in South Asia.

The imperial court gave guidance before, but seeing is believing, and hearing is false. The southwestern Tusi did not go through the field investigation, and they did not dare to easily believe that Tianzhu was described by the imperial court as "rich and stupid".
