Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 348 Love the people like a son Zhu Houzhao

  Emperor Hongzhi experienced countless times of relief.

   Never once did the relief to the victims be so meticulous.

  Every person, every family, their past, their present, their future...

Then, he breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, he remembered what the prince accused him of. The prince accused himself of being pragmatic, accusing himself of ignorance of the sufferings of the people, and accusing himself of governing. Benevolent government, in fact, is an unbearable scum.

  These words are too extreme.

   Not something a prince should say.

  Emperor Hongzhi was just a little bit annoyed.

  But now...

  Emperor Hongzhi didn't say a word, he looked at Zhu Houzhao for a long time, and said indifferently: "The prince just accused me..."

   These words were clearly addressed to Liu Jian and others.

  Liu Jian and others couldn't help looking at the prince, shaking their heads inwardly.

  His Royal Highness is still too stubborn.

  Like a child who never grows up.

   Fortunately, His Majesty only has one son, otherwise... I'm afraid...

  Many people were more or less disappointed with the prince.

  They couldn't understand the prince's behavior.

  Especially as a son of man, accusing your father is a treasonous act in itself.

  Emperor Hongzhi continued: "He said that I don't know the sufferings of the people, and I am incompetent. What do you think of it?"

   "..."

  Liu Jian and others were silent.

   It was already a headache because of the voyage to the West, but now there is an unreliable prince.

  Fang Jifan said at this time: "Your Majesty is wise."

  Everyone was stunned for a moment, but they remembered something at this moment, and they all said, "Your Majesty is wise."

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled and glanced at Fang Jifan, this damned sycophant.

  The name of Xu Jing's ship should be Fang Jifan, the scum of the world.

nature…

   This was just a thought. Emperor Hongzhi knew very well that behind the tens of thousands of words of memorials, there was the effort of the prince and the contribution of Fang Jifan.

He said calmly: "I sometimes think that I have been worrying about hard work for so many years. It is not an exaggeration to say that I am a sage. The emperors of all dynasties, if they talk about the word diligence with me, I will never compare with them." Difference."

   "But... the prince is really right..."

  Liu Jian and the others couldn't help being surprised, and couldn't help asking: "Why did Your Majesty say that?"

  They felt that His Majesty was confused.

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Zhen... is far inferior to the prince."

  After a sigh, Emperor Hongzhi clicked on the memorial on the case and said: "Let all the ministers have a look, they should also learn, take a good look, and how things should be done."

   Almost no one could tell whether Emperor Hongzhi's words came from the heart or satire.

   But Zhu Houzhao listened, but he was very happy.

In the past two months, the students who ate and lived with the farmers conducted investigations and investigations on all the situations. After the materials of the students were gathered together, Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan then considered these detailed situations, and finally made a decision for them. Every refugee arranges a way out.

  As Fang Jifan said, simply distributing food, the so-called relief, is useless. Donate today, what about tomorrow?

  These refugees, these common people, in fact, never wanted alms from the court and the government.

  What the world needs is actually not the so-called good people.

   Right now, what Ming needs most is to give people a way out.

  It can tell these disaster-stricken people, those refugees who lost their land, a future that can make a living and establish a career.

   It is too difficult, too difficult to do this!

  In this Ming Dynasty, no matter how capable and excellent officials are, they just open warehouses to put some food with the mentality of a good person, and then get the approval of those who are extremely hungry, like a benefactor.

  But... this is actually meaningless!

To arrange a future for everyone, you need to find out the details of each person, what he can do, what he is good at, and what burdens his family has. Let them reclaim outside the pass. The reclaimed land belongs to his family. You think you have good intentions and good intentions, but such kindness will make Zhang Sanba's family fall into a situation of eternal doom.

Zhang Sanba has an old mother who is seriously ill, and his mother has no one to take care of him. If you let him go out to cultivate at this time, he has to take his old mother to go, and the journey is turbulent, and it is even worse outside the customs. environment, what about his mother, how long can he live?

  Thus knowing the situation, we can arrange for Zhang Sanba's family to work in Xishan for the time being, because what Zhang Sanba needs is temporary stability, and he can no longer endure ups and downs.

As for the Li family brothers, there are many strong men in the family, and there is no burden. This type of people is the most suitable for going out. If you let them cultivate, let them develop their own land with their own strength, they will be enthusiastic and open. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

  Fang Jifan taught Zhu Houzhao hand in hand, how to deal with different situations differently, neither benevolent, simply giving people the so-called grace of giving food, nor taking it away in a general package!

  Because many times, you think you are implementing benevolent government, you are doing good deeds, and you are giving favors to others, but you don’t know the current situation of this person, his special differences, and in fact, there is no difference from harming others.

During this process, Zhu Houzhao seemed to have learned a lot. He realized that every household is not a number in the official documents of the imperial court. They are people with emotions and flesh and blood. After understanding their different ideas, this awareness is even stronger.

  Thus, Fang Jifan taught his method and mobilized the students to conduct detailed investigations to understand everyone's needs. At this time... the relief became smooth sailing.

  What this person needs, what should be given, what should that person be given, let them do what.

easy to understand.

  At this moment, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but glance at Fang Jifan gratefully.

In fact... There are many secrets hidden in Zhu Houzhao's heart. Later he realized that Fang Jifan, a scum in the world, actually used his shorts to fool him by saying that it was a face towel. Fortunately, he washed Fang Jifan's laundry so well joy.

Zhu Houzhao did not expose this point, because...he knew that although Lao Fang...although there were many wicked places, he still regarded himself as a true friend. Fang Jifan never fooled him when it came to major events, and he himself also learned from Fang Jifan. He has learned many things from him, and these things have benefited him a lot!

   Liu Jian and the others looked suspicious, took over piles of memorials, and began to circulate them.

   Then, they were completely shocked.

Liu Jian's face was full of disbelief. As the head of a hundred officials, he had received countless reports from local officials about local people's conditions, but none of them shocked him more than the reports from the crown prince and Fang Jifan in Xishan. .

He looked at the household names one after another in the memorial, looked at each household name, each person's experience, who has a daughter, who has a beautiful daughter, who has a son, who has parents in the hall. , whose family has been involved in a lawsuit, what they are suitable for, their future livelihood...

  There are so many people, so that, just looking at this memorial, it seems that more than a thousand refugees have an image at once!

  These images are vivid on the paper, and there is almost no fault in their future plans and arrangements. For example, Zhang Sanba, staying in Xishan is indeed the best result. His mother should be raised in Xishan.

   It is almost conceivable that people like Zhang Sanba and the Li family have received satisfactory arrangements one by one, how happy they are in their hearts, because... they have seen hope, and they have a lot of strength! In fact...they have already endured the hardships in the world, even though in many arrangements, they will trek across mountains and rivers to reclaim wasteland in a barren land!

   But Liu Jian deeply felt that these people would still enjoy it.

  Because...the crown prince and Fang Jifan gave them...not food, nor silver, but a hope, a hope to live a good life with their hands.

  After a brief silence, Liu Jian circulated the memorial to Xie Qian.

   Xie Qian gave it to Li Dongyang, and Li Dongyang gave it to Ma Wensheng.

  Everyone was shocked in their eyes, but they were silent for a while.

  Xie Qian's eyes were red, and tears fell on the memorial.

  The resettlement of more than a thousand refugees may not be a big deal. Daming has too many people. As a cabinet scholar, he takes care of the overall situation and often has to make choices, but...

   This is actually a refugee that His Highness the Crown Prince helped. His Highness the Crown Prince was able to handle a political matter so meticulously. Isn't this... the luck of Ming Dynasty?

  Why... I didn't see that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had such abilities before?

  The elders of the pavilion used to have too many worries about His Highness the Crown Prince. They even thought that once His Highness the Crown Prince ascended the throne, according to His Highness the Prince's temperament, Daming might take a turn for the worse.

But…

  Liu Jian said solemnly, "Your Highness, how did you do this?"

  The result is very satisfactory, exceeding everyone's expectations, even...Compared with His Royal Highness, those local officials are simply a bunch of dogs*!

  Liu Jian and others have experienced official careers, but they also think that they are allowed to do things, and they may not be able to do this.

  So... Liu Jian has countless questions in his heart.

  Zhu Houzhao thought about it, and said: "It's very simple, can it be done with hard work?"

   "Do it with heart?" Liu Jian persisted and continued to ask: "Your Highness, please explain in more detail, old minister... I hope His Highness will advise you."

   Advice...

Obviously, Zhu Houzhao was very happy to teach Liu Jian, and he said without hesitation: "It's simple, just eat and sleep with the refugees, and know their sufferings. These...in the sage's book, it is not clearly stated. For nothing?"

  ...

   Poor, I forgot to ask for support today... My heart hurts and I feel uncomfortable.
