Walking in the countryside, he suddenly asked Liu Jin to arrange a place suitable for the emperor, but the old eunuch was so anxious that he couldn't do it, and finally found the magistrate of Wanping County, and chose a relatively clean square courtyard in the county seat.

Wanping Zhixian is a person with the surname Zuo Shan Song who was originally recommended by Gu Renyi. In the fifteenth year of Hongzhi, the emperor was a little surprised that this person was Gu Renyi's brother-in-law.

Gu Renyi thinks that he is above board, and when he recommends people, he is virtuous and does not avoid relatives, and he doesn't care what others want to impeach.

Zhu Houzhao shook his head and chuckled, these literati are all this sour and hard temper.

Of course, the report he heard did say that this man had done a good job. But I don't see him here today, as the emperor wants to give grace, but you can't give it to anyone, otherwise it's a little rash. And since he is Gu Renyi's brother-in-law, as long as he does a good job, he is not afraid of being buried.

Zuo Shansong saw that the king could not succeed, so he had to go back, but unfortunately he couldn't sleep well when he went back, after all, the emperor was here. In addition, I also heard that the emperor deliberately went out of the palace to inspect the division of fields in various places.

Looking at it all the way along the way, I don't know if there is anything wrong or missing.

Helpless, anyway, he didn't have to wait in front of the emperor, so he summoned all the people in the county government overnight, and carefully touched the various affairs of Wanping County's land division, how many households, how many acres of land, how much grain was distributed, and so on.

In addition, I also have to repair a book and send it to Gu Renyi as soon as possible.

I have always heard that the emperor attaches great importance to this matter, but no matter how much he attaches importance to it, he has never seen anyone go out of the palace to see it in person.

At the same time, Wanping County also poured into many people from Dongchang and Shenwuwei, who had three layers inside and three layers outside, basically surrounding the square courtyard.

Wang Zhi lives in the middle room, and it is naturally difficult to feel sleepy at this time, so she has to look at the main hall from time to time, where the candle flame has never been extinguished. Occasionally, a black figure would move in front of the window, and he would know that it was the emperor by looking at his figure.

The maidservant said, "Your Majesty is very diligent in his administration, and he does not go to bed even at night." ”

"Out of the palace...... I guess it's all right. Wang Zhi guessed this, but she couldn't guess why the emperor didn't sleep.

In fact, Zhu Houzhao was writing a letter.

During the day, Wang Zhi said that the possibility of the little Tatar prince entering Datong was not trivial. The difficulty is that this is just a guess, now the border guards are in the hands of the commander-in-chief and the governor himself, although he can be easily mobilized as the emperor, but if he is not careful, he will disrupt the original defense, and the Tatar is not a fool, he will naturally move with it when he sees that you have adjusted.

What if the troops and horses from other places are transferred to move in the direction of Datong, and as a result, the Tatar army really does not have Datong, then what should be done?

However, he had a very good attitude, and he wrote to inform Yang Yiqing, asking him to consider it, not to be negligent, and if there was really anything unexpected, he would not be caught off guard.

This letter is a secret letter.

He originally thought about whether to write a letter to Zhou Shangwen, the general soldier of Datong, but later felt that he still didn't want to. He originally led his troops into the grassland, and he was very confident in attacking the enemy's lair.

As soon as the emperor's letter is gone, as a courtier, he must hesitate in his heart, and he is in a dilemma on both sides.

"Liu Jin,"

"The slave is here."

"Remembering something for me, go back and ask the people of the Beijing Planning Department, there is an area without a city wall outside the southern city of the Beijing Division, and ask them to hand a letter to them, and explain clearly how many households and how many people, oh, let the military department cooperate to handle it, if the Tatars break into the pass, how to evacuate and protect the people outside the city."

Zhu Houzhao felt that some of his previous ideas might have been too optimistic.

Wang Zhi thought of a breakthrough, maybe Dayan Khan could think of other breakthroughs.

There is no such thing as a war in this world that will be won before it is fought, so some precautions must be prepared.

"Yes, slave and maid remember. Your Majesty, it's late at night, so it's almost time to go to bed, right? There's something to do tomorrow. ”

"No hurry, wait."

And he couldn't sleep a little bit.

After a while, there was movement outside the courtyard, and the people who came were all with knives hanging from their waists.

They went straight inside to the door, snapping and kneeling.

"Chen Jinyiwei commanded Mao Wen to meet him."

With a squeak, the brown wooden door was opened, and then Mao Wenyu lowered his head and walked inside, and the rest of the people waited in the courtyard outside the door.

Zhu Houzhao didn't talk much nonsense, and asked while holding the pen: "Can the acres of land around Jingshi be distributed in place?" Are there any bad people who have the idea of annexing the people's land? ”

"Your Majesty strictly ordered the courtiers to inspect many rounds, and under the heavy pressure, many people were still allocated fields. However, the situation in the countryside is complicated, and some people are already in huge debts, and they are pressed to pay off their debts with land. There are also some country bullies, the poor people have been afraid for a long time, according to the minister's view, this year and next year will probably not be the same, but once the court relaxes...... The speed of the rebound will be unexpected. ”

Originally, Gu Renyi also had a recital, he suggested that the imperial court freeze the sale of land and property, and those who sold the land only had to sue the government, and the government ruled that the sale was invalid, including the use of land to pay debts, which was essentially a kind of transaction. If this method of punishment is used, there will be no more people to buy land. However, this kind of blocking of buying and selling transactions is a matter of affecting the whole body, and I only allow him to carry it out in Daxing County. Listening to you today, it is true to what he said at that time. Perhaps, after I go back, I will order your inner majesty to spread the word. ”

"Your Majesty."

The reason why Zhu Houzhao has always been worried about the division of land in the countryside is that in that movie, even if someone stands up for the people, the people are still afraid of Huang Shilang from the bottom of their hearts.

The field can be divided, but it is actually very difficult to get rid of this fear.

"Where I walked, Jinyiwei went to touch it again, and checked those who like to bully men and women on weekdays, and convicted and arrested them."

"Yes."

"Do you understand what I mean?"

"Your Majesty, please."

Zhu Houzhao still maintained the posture of bowing his head and writing: "The people in the world are actually the weakest, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, even if I want to, I can't make decisions for them every day." But many of them looked to the Holy King who sat on the temple of Jinluan as their hope. It's not a secret that I'm out of the palace this time, and it will spread all over the capital after tonight. The officials of the DPRK and China also knew why I left the palace.

So if I take a trip, it's business as usual. The justice of the common people can't even be presided over by the Son of Heaven, so isn't I, the emperor, a joke? We should also pay attention to the fact that the middle and lower ranks of the Jinyi Guards must not be in collusion with local officials. You are an old man next to me, don't think that I am strict, the past few years have been very critical, and you can't go wrong in such a critical matter. ”

"Your Majesty's meaning, the minister understands."

"What about the Tatars, but what's the news?"

According to the current division of labor of Jinyiwei, the North Town Fu Division is responsible for spying on the situation outside the country, and the South Town Fu Division is in charge of the territory. The last time that secret letter was also handed over by the Fuji of Beizhen.

"Since the last time, there hasn't been one yet."

Long.

The Emperor replied, "Got it." Tomorrow you will follow secretly. ”

"Yes."

When Mao Wenwen was thinking about whether to retire, the emperor almost finished writing and put down the brush. After blowing a breath, he folded it again and tucked it into the prepared yellow envelope on the side.

"Find a steady person and send this letter to the Guyuan Trilateral Governor's Mansion." He emphasized, "Remember, except for Yang Yiqing, no one is allowed to open it." ”

Mao Wenyu took it with both hands, and then disappeared into the night.

Early the next morning,

Zhu Houzhao went out after washing, and when he passed by Liu Jin's side, he said, "Take the carriage today." Let that girl from Werningberg get into the carriage too, the sun is too poisonous outside. ”

"The slave understands."

When he reached the door, he found that there were many kneeling officials, but most of them were stopped from approaching. Xu Guan and Liu Jin can't figure it out, some of them recognize it, some of them don't recognize it, they say that it is a certain official, can't it be someone pretending?

"Why are there so many people?" Zhu Houzhao frowned.

"Your Majesty, they all heard that the holy driver is here, so they came to take it."

"Let each of them go back to his own yamen! There are so many fields, so I didn't come here after I divided them. I don't need them to accompany me all the way. ”

After saying that, he got into the carriage himself.

The county seat of Wanping County has also been roughly cleared, otherwise there will be few people in the sparse Lala.

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to pursue it more, he dealt with a lot of people for many key things, even if this kind of trivial matter is over, it is better to leave as soon as possible.

Wang Zhi was a little nervous when she sat upright, the emperor's face was not good, she didn't touch her brows.

Fortunately, after the convoy drove for a while, Zhu Houzhao opened the curtain from time to time and saw the golden wheat fields everywhere, and his heart gradually relaxed.

"I should have come out sooner. Always staying in the deep palace, you can't see such a scene when you are an emperor for a lifetime. ”

After saying this, there was no response.

Zhu Houzhao thought of something, "What's wrong?" Scared? ”

"Yesterday, my brother also said that I don't know the rules of the palace, and I am afraid that if I say it wrong, it will make Your Majesty angry."

"I just don't want to pay attention to the rules of the palace."

"Your Majesty left the palace, it should be for the people of Beizhili."

"Like you, half and half."

Wang Zhi thought that she had said the same thing yesterday, and she couldn't help but smile.

"Wang Zhi, judging from the many words you have said to Wei Ningbo, you still know the thoughts of the emperor. Speaking of which, I just want everyone in the world to have enough to eat. However, it is already so difficult for one province and one place in Beizhili alone, and how difficult should it be for the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty to complete such a division of fields? ”

"Holy will, where can I, a woman, guess the reason why I can teach my brother to say that. It is also because of His Majesty's holy will that I have already told my courtiers over and over again, and I just believed it. ”

"You're right, I told them a long time ago."

"As for His Majesty's statement that it is difficult to divide the land, it seems to me that it is nothing."

"Nothing?"

"If you do a province in a year, you can do it in more than ten years. The Han Dynasty had the rule of Wenjing, the Tang Dynasty had the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty, which was the efforts of two or three generations to make the world governed, if Your Majesty can make the provinces like today's Beizhili in more than ten years, it can be regarded as an emperor through the ages. ”

"If it's more than ten years, I think it's long?"

Wang Zhi understood the meaning of the emperor's words, but she couldn't believe it, she could only knock on the side and say: "Your Majesty, no matter how big the profits of the Nanyang Company's sea trade are, it can't buy the world's land." ”

If there is not enough interest to redeem the land, then it is necessary to move the interests of the squires of the world, and this is a big stake.

Zhu Houzhao also knew that Kang Mazi of the Qing Dynasty had tried to measure the acres of land in the world several times, but he couldn't do it after several times.

"You're smart."

Wang Zhi's words seem to be the donkey's lips are not the horse's mouth, but they are actually talking about the key point.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at her and found that she had a small mouth, the skin on her cheeks was a little tender, her eyes were big and focused, and at a glance, she was very pure.

"You're old enough to get married."

He's a veteran, and he's so thick-skinned, so stiff in transition, but it's also very natural to say, without a trace of embarrassment.

It made a girl like Wang Zhi blush, and she had to say 'um' softly.

"Why didn't you get married? Is there no one at home to give you Zhang Luo? ”

"Also...... It's also my own willfulness that I don't want to get married. ”

"Oh, that's pretty good."

Zhu Houzhao put his mind at ease.

"What if...... If Your Majesty really wants to do what you just said, I have a word of advice. ”

"You say."

"Straighten out the guards and take charge of the army."

"Tell me more."

"Because Beizhili has a Nanyang company, many squires are not in a hurry. However, the remaining provinces do not have such conditions, which makes it difficult to guarantee that there will not be some chaos in any place, and the imperial court will inevitably use some strong means. Coincidentally, the guards in various places were already dilapidated, and the imperial court rebuilt the guards in the name of rectification, as long as the guards were not lost, His Majesty could sit firmly in Diaoyutai. ”

"You're a girl, but it's spicy to talk about."

"Your Majesty Xie criticized, the little girl will pay more attention in the future."

"You have to eat one bite at a time, and it's a bit too hasty to rebuild the guardhouse."

"Yes."

Zhu Houzhao opened the fan and slowly fanned it a few times, no matter what, Wang Zhi still dared to think and dare to say.

"If you don't marry, you won't have a husband over you. You may be able to take care of "Ming Pao" for me, the current person has been doing it for so many years, and if he doesn't get promoted, he should be lazy. ”

"Huh?" Wang Zhi said directly, she was really a little surprised, "This ...... I'm afraid that the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty will feel that it is inappropriate. ”

"Although it is leisurely to raise in the deep boudoir, you have extraordinary wisdom after all, and it is really not interesting to spend the rest of your life there, right? As for the Minister of Civil Affairs and Military Affairs, it is inappropriate...... If you are an official in the court, it is indeed inappropriate, but "Ming Pao" itself is not an official office, and they can't do anything if they say it. ”

Wang Zhi raised her eyelids, so that Zhu Houzhao could also carefully see her true appearance from a close distance, "If Your Majesty is willing to trust, I am naturally willing." Although it is a daughter, Wang Zhi is also a loyal queen. ”

"After a good loyalty. With your words, I will count them. In fact, in the past, as the mouthpiece of the government, Ming Pao actually played a role in controlling public opinion. But it wasn't particularly successful on its own, and its impact was limited. I sometimes wonder if the scope of Ming Pao could be expanded. This is also my real intention, to use this name to put on it, and then do something. ”

Wang Zhi listened attentively.

Unexpectedly, the carriage suddenly stopped at this time.

Because of the sudden stop, even Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but fall forward.

Although Wang Zhi is a girl, she always respects and loves the emperor in her heart, and hurriedly stretches out her arm to block it for the emperor, "Your Majesty, be careful!" ”

At the same time, the horses outside the car suddenly neighed.

Zhu Houzhao didn't have time to care about the outside, because he was hitting the girl's leg.
