Jinyi Night Walk

The fields are criss-crossed, the valleys are surging, and they are golden. txt e-book download**

A short brown man with a white cloth turban and an eleven or twelve year old boy walked slowly between the valleys.

The young man looked left and right, like most children who had lived in the city since childhood and just came to the countryside, his eyes were filled with novelty.

"This is millet, the millet among the five grains mentioned in the book. All things in the world have their own wonders. This millet also has a strange thing. It does not bloom in the daytime. There are so many millet, no matter what time it is, it will never bloom in the daytime." hua, but at night, in the middle of the night, as if they know the time, hehe, don't you think it's amazing!"

The man said with a smile and yinyin, then bent down and pulled out a dry weed from the valley, which is a weed similar in appearance to millet.He put his hands behind his back, gently shook the weeds in his hands, walked leisurely, looked at the golden valley in front of him, and said: "A long time ago, the farming of the Han people was the most developed when the Yellow River was up and down. Until the Sui and Tang Dynasties, The north and south of the Yangtze River are still far less developed than the farming in the north.

But after that, things went from bad to worse, especially after the wars and disasters at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the plowing and mulberry land in the north became grassy and sparsely populated, but this was only one aspect.Things in this area are easy to handle.Trouble with soldiers?That is already in the past, more than 40 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there are still a few years of war in the north.If the Tartars dare to invade the side, then beat him back!sparsely populated?It was too late to grow up after giving birth, so I transferred from a place with a lot of people to enrich the population in the north.

However, there is one thing that is very difficult to deal with, and that is the weather!Grandson, farmers depend on the weather for their food. Somehow, the weather in the north is much worse than before.Don't underestimate the weather. If there is an extra inch of rain in the sky, the ground will be flooded.If the sun makes the land dry for an inch, the crops will die.The wind got stronger, and the mature crops were all destroyed. "

The young man asked: "Grandpa, it can be solved. There are few people, so it can be solved. But the weather is bad, and we are not gods, what should we do? The north must not fall down?" "

It turned out that these two people were Zhu Di and his grandson Zhu Zhanji.

During Zhu Di's northern tour, he brought Zhu Zhanji along.The eldest grandson of the emperor grew up in the deep palace and did not know the difficulties of farming.He also brought out his favorite grandson, and took him with him when he went to the countryside to observe customs and customs and fields.Let him know that all the needs of the country come from this, that the people's lives are not easy, and that as the king of the people, he should be sympathetic to the people.This is also a piece of painstaking care for his heirs. e^look

After hearing Zhu Zhanji's words, Zhu Di nodded and said, "Grandson's question is good! But if you want to do it, why can't you do it. Grandson, no matter whether the emperor governs the world or the officials govern the place, there is a priority in doing things. Things. You should choose important and urgent things to do first, and then do minor and delayed things. What is the most urgent thing in today's world? Food and clothing! What is the most important thing? Enlightenment!

These are the two most important things for a ruler.The climate in the north is harsh.Do you have to make the people willing to live in poverty?Food and clothing shortage?otherwise!Can we blindly transfer grain from the south?That's not going to work, so don't help the poor in a hurry!If the climate is bad for one year, the land will be barren, for two years the land will be barren, and the people will have to move to other places in order to survive, and after three years, the land will be gone and the people will be gone.

To change this situation.We can't change the sky, but we can greatly promote water conservancy.Make up for the deficiency.The branch river passes through, and the Jianquan comes out.Even digging wells on the spot can be cited as Narita.After Taizu established the country, farming was the most important thing. From the first year of Hongwu to the present, our Ming Dynasty has opened more than [-] embankments of ponds, canals, and ditches. Today, agriculture has far surpassed that of Yuan Dynasty.

However, the north was unstable at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and the entire Central Plains was destroyed by the war at the end of the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, the grain output was mainly concentrated in the south. Construction, so these water conservancy are mostly concentrated in the south.Now that the water conservancy construction in the south has reached a large scale, we can concentrate on developing the north! "

Zhu Di told Zhu Zhanji the principles of classics in simple terms, and Zhu Zhanji understood it in his heart and nodded frequently.

Zhu Di said: "Of course, to revitalize farming in the north, we can't just focus on water conservancy, such as eliminating officials, encouraging land reclamation, improving soil, intensive cultivation, and selecting crops suitable for drought..."

As soon as he said this, a postman suddenly rode a horse and galloped along the field ridge from a distance.

On the edge of the valley, a large group of officials were waiting there to avoid space for the grandpa and grandson, allowing them to roam freely in the fields and chat.As soon as a postman arrived, someone went up to meet them, asked and answered a few words, and then someone led the postman who had dismounted to run towards them. When Zhu Di saw it, he took Zhu Zhanji's hand and said, "Go!" , go and have a look!"

Zhu Di went up to meet him, and the postman took out a sealed memorial, which was the memorial to the impeachment of the prince by the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Zhu Di hurried back to the field, and under a big elm tree, the eunuch moved the horse, carried the small table, and served tea , Zhu Di was drinking water while reading the memorial. After reading the memorial, his face showed displeasure, and he ordered loudly: "Come here, draw up an order."

At that moment, someone brought another sheet of papers, and they put them away not far from Zhu Di's side, spread the paper and grinded the ink, and after the drafting officer sat on the paper, he picked up his pen and waited.

Zhu Di said: "My son Gao Chi, I ordered you to supervise the country. You must be careful in everything, and don't be impatient. The ministers are the pillars of the country, and if they are small, how can they humiliate them? Also, you are sitting in the Taizigong. So, don’t listen to one side and believe in another, and treat people and things according to your own likes and dislikes..."

Zhu Di's vernacular, the official who drafted the decree was used to it long ago, and he wrote like a fly, "Show the crown prince, I order you to be a supervisor, be lenient in everything, and strictly guard against impatience. Ministers have minor faults, so don't rush them." Humiliation; don't just listen to likes and dislikes, and cultivate morality and hope. This is the time. The world's secret affairs are important, and it is advisable to examine and act. A little negligence will cause endless harm. Remember: honor the ministers, don't let likes and dislikes. Every hero commits a crime , Dispatch the officers and men, a decision must be made!"

After the drafting officer wrote it, I handed it over to Zhu Di to read it again. Zhu Di nodded and said, "Use the seal and send it out!"

After Zhu Di finished speaking, he took Zhu Zhanji's little hand and said, "Let's go for a walk in the cotton field over there."

As soon as the grandpa and grandson walked away, Zhu Zhanji took up the grievance for his father, and he pouted and said: "Grandpa, even if the grandson's father did not do things properly, he is the prince after all. How could the emperor reprimand a royal envoy just because of a few words? The emperor doesn't even know why my father reprimanded the minister..."

Zhu Di was startled, turned his head to look at his grandson's serious face, and couldn't help laughing, "Hahahaha..."

Zhu Zhanji was even more displeased, and shook off Zhu Di's big hand and said, "Why is Grandpa Huang laughing? Is what grandson said wrong?"

"Hehe, of course not!"

Zhu Di doted on his head fondly, and said earnestly: "Grandson, your father is my son, but in state affairs, he is the king and the minister. The emperor does not need to know why your father scolded the minister. Gentle, since you are angry, there must be a reason, knowing a son is like a father, do you still need me to ask?"

Zhu Zhanji said in surprise: "Then why..."

Zhu Di's expression became serious: "Grandson, your father may be angry, but calling the ministers to see the prince and sternly lecturing him is arrogance. The prince was ordered by me to supervise state affairs on my behalf, but he cannot discipline him on my behalf. Minister, he can only solve things, and these things should be decided by me. No matter whether he has a cause or not, if he does this, he will shake my authority!"

Zhu Zhanji was puzzled and said: "But..., Dad is the son of the emperor's grandfather, and he will be the emperor of Ming Dynasty in the future."

Zhu Di said in a deep voice: "If you are not the emperor, you will not be in power for a day! In a family, if the father is not at home, the son can be the master for the father. But a country must never be successful! There are no two days, no two countries Lord, this is not an empty phrase in a play, there is a great question in it."

Zhu Di stopped in his tracks, let out a long breath, and said, "Everything in the world has its reason. Just like the millet, it only blooms in the middle of the night, and when the sky is not clear, the flower will die. Since ancient times, it has never changed. , we don't understand the reason behind it, but it must have its reason. The court and the world are the same.

From the emperor to the cabinet, from the cabinet to the six ministries, from the six ministries to the three local divisions, all the yamen of the imperial court, the imperial court and the local government are connected to the various yamen below them, and the various yamen and the various official positions are connected with each other. It constitutes a huge net to control the world, and the emperor is the center of this net.

All of these are interdependent and mutually restrictive, and any part of it that violates its rules will destroy the coordination of the entire giant network, thereby distorting and deforming, appearing places beyond its control, and even leading to greater consequences, even subjugation.If the king fails to become a king, and the minister fails to become a minister, great chaos will surely arise.Therefore, this order must not be luan, and no one can make it luan for any reason! "

Zhu Zhanji listened, with a thoughtful expression.

Zhu Di took his hand and walked slowly along the field ridge to the distance, his solemn voice wafted in the wind: "

Grandson, a ruler should never allow his ministers to be superior to his ruler, no matter whether he is a close relative and filial son of the ruler, or a loyal minister who is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness, the ruler is the ruler, and the minister is the minister, otherwise the ruler will not be the ruler, The minister is not the minister.Even if what he did was because of his loyalty to the king, it is unforgivable.Because..., when he is above the king, the authority of the king has been hurt, and the officials will inevitably lose their respect for the king.

A farmer takes care of more than ten acres of land. He has to adapt to the seasons, breed and plant seedlings, weed and kill insects. If he is not careful, the whole year's harvest will be ruined.And an emperor takes care of the whole world, up and down, left and right, inside and outside, there are more things to consider and care about, one careless, the death of thousands of people, or even the overthrow of the country.Zhanji, one day, you too will become the emperor of Ming Dynasty.Emperor, you don't think about it alone, you have to look at the world, you must keep these words in your heart! "

Zhu Zhanji also said in a childish voice: "Yes, grandpa emperor taught, grandson will keep it in mind!"
