0956 Good things come and go
At the same time, the people of the whole town also know that Daming has produced a good emperor and a good prime minister, and they put the people in their hearts! So in the celebration, the name of the emperor and the name of the prime minister were never broken! And it is foreseeable that their name will continue to spread far and wide through the villagers!
The promotion of low-cost salt in this town has come to an end, but similar stories are constantly being staged everywhere in Daming! It's just that some places are more peaceful, and some places are more violent! But the end result is the same! That is, the names of Emperor Wanli and Zhang Juzheng are in the middle of the sky in the folk day!
All the people are praising them, not to mention, to Emperor Wanli and Zhang Juzheng set up immortal tablets, burning incense and praying day and night countless people! It can be said that at this time, the name of Emperor Wanli can only be suppressed by Taizu and Taizong! As for Zhang Juzheng, he is already the first powerful prime minister since the Ming Dynasty!
At this time, the people of the Ming Dynasty were simple, and they remembered everyone who was good to them! Therefore, wherever low-priced salt appears, there will be a wave of gratitude to Emperor Wanli and Zhang Juzheng! So when the people spontaneously or were guided, many people wrote the Wanmin fold or made the Wanmin umbrella and sent it to the county government, hoping that the officials could send their hearts!
Naturally, the local gentry will not forget to appear in such a grand event! They paid part of the expenses, or directly organized the people, and took the errand of sending the Wanmin fold and the Wanmin umbrella to the people! At the same time, a large-scale poetry meeting was held to celebrate this unprecedented prosperity! As a result, countless poems and texts flew out from various literary societies and academies, and attached them to the back of the Wanmin fold and the Wanmin umbrella, decorating them even more flowery!
Since the counties are already like this, the state capital will naturally not forget this matter, and they will only make things more grand! The Wanmin fold will be more heavy, and the Wanmin umbrella will be more exaggerated!
So there was a strange scene in the Jingshi! Every two or three days, there will be a team of people beating gongs and drums to escort Wanmin umbrella and Wanmin into the Beijing Division! In this way, the names of Emperor Wanli and Zhang Juzheng have been praised over and over again! For a time, the benevolent emperor and the wise prime minister supported each other and jointly created a prosperous world!
The procession of those who delivered things would burn incense and pray in front of the palace, respectfully leaving the Wanmin fold and the Wanmin umbrella before retreating. Naturally, the palace guards would send these things to the palace.
Emperor Wanli is naturally happy about this kind of thing! Whenever he sent Wanmin Umbrella and Wanmin Fold, he would personally inspect and watch, completely immersed in the dream that he was about to become the emperor of the ages!
As for Zhang Juzheng's house, there is naturally even more traffic in front of it! Because those local officials and gentry sent Wanmin umbrellas and Wanmin folds, naturally they would not only send them to the emperor. They cleverly copied another copy and sent it to Zhang Juzheng's mansion!
So as long as someone sends something into Beijing, the sound of firecrackers in front of Zhang Ju***'s mansion never stops! Those who know naturally feel that Shoufu is loved by the people, and those who don't know think that Zhang Juzheng is accepting new people every day! So for a while, the reputation of Emperor Wanli was comparable to that of the Three Emperors and the Five Emperors, and Zhang Juzheng's reputation was close to that of Yihuo!
But the surprise of the imperial court to the people is not over yet! Subsequently, the imperial court issued a large number of decrees to start repairing the world's water conservancy, dredging rivers and canals, and repairing roads! And announced that this time, except for those who served as conscripts, everyone else would be paid according to their employees! At the same time, it was also announced that this time the government would provide sufficient food to the people, and the doctor would see a doctor to ensure that no one died!
If this statement came out from the imperial court in the past, the people would just think it was a fart! Those who should hide from the conscripts, those who should hide from the government's mansion, no one will come forward! However, not long ago, the imperial court released a huge moral policy to the people, which greatly improved the people's trust in the imperial court! So most people are starting to wait and see!
As a result, after a period of time, the projects in various places were carried out one after another, and the people were surprised to find that this time the imperial court really made a bloody investment! Not to mention the food given every day, there is also Lang Zhong sitting in the construction site!
A large number of gentry saw the development of this kind of project that could benefit the township, and began to enthusiastically donate food materials and various tools, so that the materials on the construction site were abundant! There are also scholars and scribes who write various poems on the construction site to praise the virtue and politics of the government!
Even the servants and helpers did not force the men to hurry up and work as they used to be, but told them with a smile, "Just do your best!" Just do your best!"
The reason why the officers were so polite was because they were ordered by their superiors. Of course, they are not for any pro-people and love the people, but because every day the construction period is extended, the expenses can be shared a little more, and there is more room for manipulation! So the longer the construction period, the fuller the pockets of the officials!
But how did the people who worked know the Tao in it, they only knew that this time the government was very sympathetic to the people, and the food was sufficient, and even the soup had to be sprinkled with salt! I've really benefited!
So they thought that this was to work for their hometown, and it was they who benefited. And the government is so considerate, how can it be done without working hard? That's going to be poked in the back by the neighbors! So these people worked hard and did it quickly, and the work they did was fast and good! And in the past, being driven out by the leather whip to do the work is basically a heaven and an underground!
But what they did was a pain for the officials! You guys are working so fast, the deadline is so short, teach me how to do it! So officials everywhere began to give people a day off every ten days! On this day, the servants took care of the food, and the hired men were paid!
Others have come up with many strange ways to delay the construction period, but even so, the people are more motivated, and they are competing with each other to work! I always feel that I have to be worthy of the food and wages issued by the imperial court! On the contrary, it made officials everywhere complain!
At the same time, the imperial court's action to clean up bandits has also begun! Now the scattered bandits everywhere are out of luck! They are facing the combined encirclement and suppression of the strong squads, archers and guards from all over the country!
The soldiers who participated in the encirclement and suppression received a real reward before they set off! And the officer promised them a silver reward after the war! If there is a decapitation merit, you can receive an additional reward! Although the silver has been withheld by the superior officers, the soldiers are well aware of this! But it's still much more abundant than the money you usually get!
