Domineering Daming

Mrs. Wu was struggling, and the three brothers hurried over. Mrs. Wu put his ear next to his ear, and then he looked slightly startled, and glanced at the other two brothers.

Wu Laoer and Wu Laosan didn't know, so they could only look at Mrs. Wu.

Boss Wu's complexion changed for a while, he gritted his teeth and helped Old Master Wu up, and knelt down to Zhu Xu.

Mrs. Wu is really too old. He looked at Zhu Xu with cloudy eyes, stretched his right hand tremblingly into his arms, and then held it, as if using all his strength, he said: "The Wu family... would like to offer... all... Family property, to help... court... court... new... government, early... Datong, please... emperor... accept..."

As he spoke, he knelt on the ground abruptly.

The three brothers of the Wu family looked terrified, and then suddenly came to their senses, they all knelt down to Zhu Xu, and said in a deep voice, "Please take it in, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, but he secretly said in his heart: This old man is quite sensible.

Just as he was about to speak, Fatty Chen, who was sitting at the back of the Hui Gang, suddenly stood up as if frightened, plopped on his knees, and said loudly: "Caomin is also willing to donate all his property to help... the emperor to reunite as soon as possible!"

Zhu Xu raised his brows, smiled secretly, and glanced at the four members of the Wu family, someone told you not to focus on your beauty.

"The grassroots are willing to donate all their property, and hope that the new policy of the court will be completed as soon as possible!" Wang Beicheng seemed to wake up suddenly, got up quickly, and knelt down and said in a deep voice.

After Wang Beicheng, everyone seemed to have figured something out, stood up one after another, knelt down and shouted, and were willing to donate their property.

Zhu Xu's expression moved, this was beyond his script, he couldn't help but look at Cao Wenzhao not far away, and then turned his head to look at Cao Huachun.

Both of them shook their heads slightly, indicating that it was not their design.

Zhu Xu nodded slightly, and understood that the Wu family might want to use their property to save their lives in exchange for his troubles, and everyone else followed suit.

"Is this going to cost money to eliminate disasters? This... is a bit much income..."

Zhu Xu stretched out his hand to brush his hair, and there were dozens of people kneeling on the ground. Their family property, not to mention the acres of land, shops, etc., just add up to 1000 million in silver, right?These people donated their family property, and if it is spread to the outside world, more people will follow suit. The total of 3000 million should be easy to collect, right?

You just sprinkled 1000 million and it came back doubled?

Zhu Xu waited for a while to make sure he didn't donate any more, then he stood up hypocritically, helped Mrs. Wu, put him on the chair, looked into his cloudy eyes, and said loudly, "You are all flat... Don't worry, Mrs. Wu." , I don’t kill people, I just say something, I’ll leave in a few days, I don’t need to donate my property..."

The old master Wu held Zhu Xu's wrist with one hand, slowly opened and closed his lips, and said, "The emperor Ying... Mingshen... Wu, a generation... sage... Jun, can have... help, death... but nothing. ……regret……"

The three brothers of the Wu family, Fatty Chen from the Hui Gang, Wang Beicheng and others all looked at Zhu Xu and Mrs. Wu, hoping that Zhu Xu would accept them.

Only by accepting them can we ensure that they will not be settled by Qiuhou and the whole family will be safe.

Naturally, Zhu Xu would not let go of so many acres of land and money. He reached out and patted Old Master Wu's hand, and said with a sigh: "If everyone in the world is like the old man, why should I take such painstaking efforts to make this trip... The old man understands righteousness deeply, and is indeed a model for scholars, I greatly admire..."

Mrs. Wu was speechless, but pulled Zhu Xu's wrist forcefully.

Zhu Xu was happy in his heart, so he was naturally willing to pretend to be a snake with these people. He praised Old Master Wu, then turned his head to look at Boss Wu, Wang Beicheng and the others and said, "I am very pleased that you can give up your home for the country! Fang Kongshao , the Governor’s Council, the Academy, etc., must be tilted, and these people who serve the country and the people must not be chilled, and all aspects must be taken care of, and you must not be slighted. If you let me know that you are negligent, you will never be lenient... ..."

Fang Kongshao hurried over and said solemnly: "Don't worry, your majesty, I will do my best, and I will never let you down with your sincerity!"

"Don't worry, your majesty, I will treat you generously!"

Qian Qianyi, Shi Bangyao and others also got up, and said in a deep voice, with a look of assurance on their faces.

The corner of Zhu Xu's mouth twitched, he was speaking in a scene...

But no matter what, the matter in Nanzhili was resolved perfectly, even better than he expected, so let's give these people some benefits as compensation.

Zhu Xu was courteous and praised again, many bad checks were written out, and these people were left to eat with him in the barracks.

Naturally, these people were grateful to Dade, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief, today——survived.

Chapter 695 New Order

The next day, Gong Yuan.

Zhu Xu strolled along the bluestone path, holding today's newspaper in his hand.

Fang Kongshao, Shi Bangyao and a group of people followed behind, all a little uneasy.

As the Wu family, the Wang family and other respectable families in Nanzhili rushed to donate their family property, no matter whether they were ghosts or not, they were all crazy, and they started to donate money and food. This scene made Fang Kongshao The governor was a little startled.

The Shan Wu family, the Wang family and more than a dozen families donated tens of thousands of hectares of land and hundreds of thousands of shi of food, not to mention other shops, gold and silver, antique calligraphy and paintings, etc., which are of frighteningly high value!

Is this just the result of a martial arts show?

No!

The emperor in front of him, with his civil and military skills, the methods of governing the country, and the methods of imperial power, are extremely fierce, and few people can resist.

The first page of the newspaper in Zhu Xu's hand is a huge black headline: Party Struggles to Disaster the Country, Dong Lin is a Lesson.

The person who wrote it has a solid foundation, quoted classics, and explained the essence of "Party Struggle" vividly and vividly. Then, from Gu Xiancheng's resignation from office and the establishment of Donglin Academy to the Donglin Party's occupation of the court, he made a bitter satire on the Donglin Party. All kinds of evil consequences of the Donglin Party's arbitrariness of power have been revealed, and the crimes of the Donglin Party, such as harming the country and deceiving the emperor, have been exposed.

The most important thing in this article is the signature. There are more than 70 people. First, the former leader of Donglin, Minister of Rites, and Qian Qianyi, the imperial envoy, then the governor's office, and the heads of prefects from all over the country. , and then the patriarch of the aristocratic family, the prestigious Confucianism, almost the group of people with great influence in Nanzhili, their names are all on it!

Zhu Xu was very satisfied. Only with a unified mind can he make great strides forward. He closed the newspaper and said, "I read all the memorials you wrote last night. They are not deep enough. I don't know enough about the New Deal and the recent situation in my dynasty. Future development, governance is vague, you must seriously reflect on what the past was like, the root causes of these disadvantages, how to start, eradicate or improve? What methods can be used? How many old methods can be used, and new methods? never thought about……"

Qian Qianyi, Fang Kongshao and others hurriedly followed a few steps, bowed their bodies, and looked slightly condensed.

They have always known that the emperor is difficult to get along with, and they will always mention some weird, unacceptable, but unacceptable things, and now it is their turn.

As Zhu Xu spoke, he came to a gazebo. After sitting down, he glanced at a few people, put the folding fan in his hand on the table, tapped it with his left hand, and said, "Yesterday, I didn't say something. Because it is reserved for you, to tell you.”

"Your servants are listening to the hadith!" Qian Qianyi, Fang Kongshao and the others hurriedly raised their hands and bowed, their bodies unconsciously tense.

Zhu Xu thought about it for a while, and said: "Whether it's the 'New Deal', the 'Military Policy', or something else, the fundamental purpose is to build a new order, a new clan order, an honorary order, a new officialdom order, the army Order, including market order, agricultural order, etc..."

Qian Qianyi and the others all lowered their heads, silently daring not to interrupt.

"The first is officialdom."

Zhu Xu searched several people with his eyes, and said: "'Govern the country first by governing the officials' is an old saying. Since ancient times, in the nearly one hundred years since the founding of the country, it has been considered that the officials have been governed cleanly and the world has been stable. , so that the world was in chaos, and the dynasty changed. My dynasty has reached the present, and it is time to clean up. This can be regarded as the consensus of the world. Not only did the administration of officials not improve at all, but it got deeper and deeper? Why?"

"The root lies in 'determination'! This determination lies with me, and it also belongs to all the officials in the world. If all the officials in the world can be like me, determined to eradicate corruption and clean up the administration of officials, I think it will not be difficult!"

"The imperial court and the six ministries of the cabinet are all ministers carefully selected by me. They are of one mind and one mind with me. They hate corruption and are determined to fight corruption. You are also selected by me. I hope that you will be like me and determined to fight corruption. Don't be like Huang. Standing like a pole, the two ends of the snake and mouse are swaying..."

Qian Qianyi, Fang Kongshao, Shi Bangyao and others all changed their expressions, their temples throbbed lightly, and they did not speak.

The word "anti-corruption" is easy to say, but not easy to do, especially in places like Nanzhili, where the network of relationships is intricate. With more than 200 years of experience, no matter who is anti-corruption, it will eventually involve itself, because even if a person is clean, there is no one. Make sure to be law-abiding at all times!

too difficult!Simply impossible!

Zhu Xu didn't expect them to fight corruption, so he paused for a while and said, "I have always disliked imperial examinations. It's not that it's not a good way to select scholars, but that it doesn't have much benefit for enlightenment. It's far inferior to my If there are academies all over the world, and they can be enlightened and enrolled when they reach the age, then my Ming Dynasty will never be short of talents! We can choose the best from the best, and the most important thing is that scholars don’t have to be officials. The country is so big. Where is there no need for scholars? The single-minded imperial examination to become an official is not the purpose of reading and popularizing education. Regarding academies and imperial examinations, you must strictly implement the policies of the imperial court, and you must not relax in the slightest!"

"Minister obeys the order!" Qian Qianyi and Fang Kongshao rushed out. These two matters will fall on their heads. There are not many days left for this year's imperial examination.

Zhu Xu clicked on it, turned his head and looked out, and happened to be able to see some taller small buildings on the banks of the Qinhuai River. He pointed and said: "This brothel has its own way. As a government, it cannot Sealed, like the Yanzheng, cannot be forced to promote. This is what I call 'order', how to build a stable 'order'? So that the banks of the Qinhuai River will not become filthy, absurd and sad places , how to make the salt administration smooth, and take care of the interests of the salt merchants, and prevent them from violently opposing and causing chaos? These are the homework of you chief officials. How to manage and deal with it is a difficult science... ..."
