In the late spring of the twentieth year of Wanli, after the rebellion was put down, there was nothing in the world.

On the way to the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum, Zhu Yijun saw the mountains and forests, especially after a spring rain, which was even more lush and smokey.

This made him sigh secretly, Pan Jitao used to do a good job of cultivating forests and controlling water on three sides, which made the ecology of this Yansui area very well maintained.

It is said that before Zhu Yijun sent Pan Jitao to the trilateral forest cultivation and water control, Yansui's Fu Guan and factory guards said in Songshu, "Yansui has frequent droughts, mountains and forests are destroyed, and it is bare and cannot store soil."

And now, the situation that Zhu Yijun has seen is not as serious as it was said before.

Of course.

This is also related to the change of the national strategy to foreign development, as a large number of poor people in Yansui have been moved overseas, and a large number of military and civilian incomes have increased without cutting down mountains and forests to survive, even for heating, more and more coal has been used, which naturally slows down the loss of internal resources and ecological damage, and the ecology can be repaired in time.

Zhu Yijun went to the Mausoleum of the Yellow Emperor, although there were many officers and soldiers with him, and he stayed overnight along the way, which inevitably required manpower, but he still did not serve soldiers and civilians in vain, and he threw money like water.

This also makes the people not complain, and the people are only eager to take charge of the emperor's eating, drinking and having fun, and even bribe the officials at the bottom in order to get a job to serve the emperor!

It's just that.

Although most of the officials are happy to do this, not to mention taking kickbacks from it, and enjoying the flattery of the people, it is a big toss for many officials who rely on their connections rather than their ability to rise to power.

Because all the local officials who have some connections are basically the children of generations of eunuchs, they don't care about money at the same time, they don't care about political performance, and prefer to be quiet and inactive, anyway, with their background and relationship, they will not be able to get a good test score in a short time, and they can also be promoted, but they will be promoted faster than those who work hard.

However, now that the emperor is coming, such officials have to participate in recruiting people's husbands, collecting money and food, dispatching people's forces, repairing roads and bridges, and strengthening security.

After all, there are so many officials in the country, and many of them are capable, and a small mistake may cause an official to never be promoted to the ministry in Beijing.

Therefore, for officials from the official eunuch clan, they are very unhappy that the emperor will go on patrol, even if the emperor does not use the people's power in vain and does not trouble places in vain, but this does make them easy to prove that they are useless in other aspects except for their good background.

Of course.

The emperor's patrol is an opportunity for capable but poorly born officials, an opportunity to prove his ability to deal with emergencies, an opportunity for the emperor to remember himself, and an opportunity to break the shackles of relationships and jump directly again.

And now because the imperial court implements the new rites, it is not conducive to the right of the Hao, but to the common people, so most of the officials who can serve as officials in the local area are still the civilian class or the small landlord class, so they are still happy to see the emperor on patrol, and they are also very active in mobilizing the military and the people to serve the emperor's patrol.

The ordinary gentry, who are mainly industrial and commercial, are also very happy to see Zhu Yijun's patrol as if he was throwing money.

For example, when Zhu Yijun was temporarily stationed in Ganquan County, Sun Zhen, a gentry of Ganquan Papermaking, smiled and said to his in-law Zhu Wanyuan:

"When today's son is really benevolent, although he personally patrols the border, it is inevitable to use people's power and disturb the locality, but it also benefits the local area and gives grace to the small people.

"For your mansion, it is naturally a good thing, and it can also increase sales because it is said that this paper was used by His Majesty."

"It's also a good thing for the contemptible people, there are already three pieces of household wood in the woodworking workshop that His Majesty has ordered to purchase after seeing it, and therefore no less than ten noble families have also ordered this kind of woodwork."

Zhu Wanyuan also laughed and said.

Although Sun Zhen and Zhu Wanyuan, ordinary industrial and commercial gentry, were very happy about the emperor's path and temporarily stationed in their hometown, there were also local gentry who were not happy about this, and most of these gentry were large landlords and eunuchs with extensive fertile land.

"The Ningxia Rebellion and the Shaanxi Rebellion have been pacified, and even the Hetao has been recovered, and there is really no defeat like the Tumubao, and the era of the Great Religious Chaos must continue."

On the way to the emperor's imperial banquet, Zhou Shice, a large landowner of Ganquan County, who had been a member of the Hanlin River, expressed his disappointment with the outcome of the Ningxia Rebellion and the Shaanxi Rebellion in front of Jia Xikun, the chief of his fellow villagers.

Jia Xikun smiled and said, "I had long expected this to be the end, so I didn't expect these traitors to succeed at all!" ”

"These traitors don't want to think that a son of heaven who was taught by Zhang Taiyue to really regard Wu Benqian as the first son of the emperor will die in civil strife?"

"You know, in the past, Jianwen died due to civil strife, because he not only cut the domain, but also began to focus only on civil ministers, so that the martial artists were more interested in becoming ancestors, and now the martial artists, how many are not interested in His Majesty?"

"What Zice said is, let's see how the prince is in the future."

Zhou Shice smiled, replied, and did not say anything more, but only followed a cadre of local eunuchs, ready to listen to the hadith.

At this time, Zhu Yijun had already met Zhang Yingwang of Ganquan Zhixian County in the first place, and said to Zhang Yingwang:

"Judging from the results of the examination, you were responsible for dereliction of duty and laziness last year, so that there were many thieves, and the cabinet's disposition of you was dismissal, and Moben sent it to me, but I haven't approved it yet, because I think I will come to Ganquan County anyway, and I want to hear your own opinion."

Zhang Yingwang, the magistrate of Ganquan County, hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, the thieves born last year were actually prisoners who came to detain the prisoners, and the ministers have organized soldiers and civilians to arrest and send them to prison. ”

"Send a brocade guard to the county jail to take a look, but it's a thief."

Zhu Yijun gave an order to Zhang Jingxiu at this time.

Zhang Jingxiu said yes.

And Zhang Yingwang breathed a sigh of relief here, he couldn't help but secretly rejoice that His Majesty was here, and he was cautious enough, otherwise if he really dealt with it according to the results of his boss's examination, he would have to roll up and go back to his hometown, and with his family background that no one has achieved fame for three generations, he is afraid that it will be impossible to be revived.

In other words, the apex of the career of his Zhang family is likely to be at the county level.

After Zhang Jingxiu left, Zhu Yijun continued to ask Zhang Yingwang about the population and prices of Ganquan County.

And Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Yingwang while watching all kinds of exquisite woodware, porcelain and jewelry purchased from the market in Ganquan County.

In order to promote the development of industry, Zhu Yijun will buy some local industrial commodities everywhere he goes, in order to promote the development of local industry and commerce, it is best to directly drive the emergence of good industrial products in the locality, and it is best to be as famous as the iron pot in Zhangqiu, the paper in the lead mountain, and the porcelain in Jingdezhen, so as to drive more local workers.

Anyway, for Zhu Yijun, it doesn't cost much to buy some local soil.

And when Zhu Yijun asked Zhang Yingwang about the situation in Ganquan County and looked at all kinds of soil, he heard a faint noise outside.

"What's going on?"

Zhu Yijun couldn't help asking.

Soon.

Tian Yi, the eunuch of the celebrant and eunuch, came back and said: "There was a fight between the people who were ready to transport the soil for the emperor, saying that they all got the order of the county to transport the earth, and then there was a dispute, blaming the other party for grabbing the order, and then the fight started, and the Marquis of Nanchang had already transferred troops over. ”

"Your Majesty!"

"This matter is related to the minister, please let the minister deal with it, and the minister promises to solve this matter within half an hour to avoid more casualties."

At this time, Zhang Yingwang took the initiative to ask for help.

Zhu Yijun asked, "What are you going to do?" ”

Zhang Yingwang replied: "Back to Your Majesty, the minister has long been worried that the subordinates will make mistakes in recruiting people's husbands, so they specially invited the nearby Li Zheng and the elders in the township to follow him to deal with it; After all, from the minister to the town, there are still several layers in the middle, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes, for example, the minister may think that there are not enough people in a certain mile, and will pass another person to apply for recruitment, but maybe the adjutant under the minister has already notified the nearest lieutenant to prepare, so that both lieutenants have arrived in front of the emperor. ”

"Then you deal with it."

Zhu Yijun listened to Zhang Yingwang's reasonableness, so he agreed to his proposal.

It is strange to say that before Zhang Yingwang appeared, the people fighting on both sides ignored the order of the Son of Heaven and the persuasion of the various officers and instructors of the pro-military guards, even if Liu Ling's side had already ordered the firearms soldiers to prepare to fire, these people were still beating each other.

But as soon as Zhang Yingwang brought two miles and the old man came, the people on both sides were honest.

These people were brutally punched and kicked by their respective Li Zheng and the elders, and they all fell down like frosted eggplants in an instant.

"Shame on you, brawl near the emperor's line!"

"But Elder Sun, it was obviously the nephew of the Ling clan in the county who asked us to prepare to contribute to the emperor, so we came, but who knew that Shangshui did not say that the county notified them."

"My nephew is just a post man, can he represent the county, has he taken out the county's order?"

"Not really."

"Didn't say anything!"

Dealing with this fight is the squire Sun Zhen, he is hating his villagers at this time, many of them are his juniors of the same clan, even if they are not the same clan, they are also connected with their in-laws, so he scolds as much as he wants, and these people are very convinced.

On the other hand, the so-called people in Sheung Shui, there are also their elders in Lizheng Township who are educating them.

In the end, this sudden incident was quickly subsided, and because it was dealt with in a timely manner, there were no real lives, only a few people were injured, and the most serious thing was only a fracture, which just needed to rest for a while.

And Zhu Yijun summoned Zhang Yingwang again because of this, and said: "You really have a response to such an emergency, and you have put a lot of thought into politics, which is not dereliction of duty and lazy government." ”

Zhang Yingwang's eyes turned red after hearing this.
