Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 123 The Poor Emperor

Xu Shi felt that Zuo Fu was not bad from the bottom of his heart, and it was the first time that Wang Qinian spoke from his heart.

"Master, it's better to keep a low profile about the opening of the school. I heard from your father that you also opened a school in the Jiangdong Guard Office. Those are children from military households, and ordinary people don't care about it. But if you promote this among the people Learning, I'm afraid..."

"Whoever refuses to accept it, let him beat the Tartars."

Zuo Fu's tone suddenly turned cold, "Yangzhou's 80 wronged souls have not yet been reborn, and more than half of our Ming Dynasty's territory is still falling outside. If we continue to play the game of fighting against dissidents, hehe, instead of being subjugated slaves, it is better to kill these people! "

Wang Qinian's hands trembled, and he couldn't help but marvel, "How can you be so murderous, a beautiful woman?!"

Zuo Fu curled his lips, "Master Wang, I heard that you are also a child of a poor family. You have been an official in the local area all these years. You say, it is not good for us Ming people?"

"This……"

Wang Qinian twitched his lower lip and said, "Most of the people are simple and hardworking. Although they have their own little calculations, they are unavoidable. This person is alive, and in order to survive, he has to calculate, but the people of my Daming are generally good. of."

"Then it's over."

Zuo Fu said: "The people have no problem, so what is the problem? Blame God? Oh, our ancestors used to be naked and drank blood, but they learned how to make fire by drilling wood, how to sew clothes, and how to watch the sky." Divided into four seasons... Could it be that our current situation is worse than that of our ancestors?! So the problem of Ming Dynasty is not with the people, not with the sky, but with management!"

"manage?!"

"Not bad!"

Zuo Fu said: "If you want to accomplish something, the court's measures must be appropriate. If it is not appropriate, it means that the management is wrong. For example, this corruption... Humans are originally good... Oh, this is just a word. Lie to yourself, when we were born, we ate as much as we wanted, and pulled as much as we wanted, where did we think about good and evil? Whose behavior is not acquired? Greed is human nature, and it is impossible to completely destroy it! Just relying on the self-consciousness of an official to maintain the rule of law and protect the people is tantamount to walking a tightrope. How many people like Hai Rui and Bao Zheng have emerged for thousands of years?

Wang Anshi reformed the law, the law is a good law, the bad is the management!He thought that every official in the world was like him, seeing money as dung, naive, naive, so naive!There is no rule without rules, if rights are not supervised, then they will be controlled by human nature! "

Zuo Fu said a lot in one breath, and his tone was quite agitated, which seemed to express all his dissatisfaction with Daming these days!
Really fucked up, okay? !
The soldiers have nothing to eat, the soldiers are starving, and the people are croaking with hunger. What are these scholar-bureaucrats doing?Chongzhen is dead, Ming is about to die, Yangzhou has been massacred, but they are still fighting...

"Back then, Taizu thought of this and established Jinyiwei."

Wang Qinian smiled wryly, "But Jinyiwei... the county master also saw it? Later, he set up the West Factory, but the West Factory..."

"You all rule people by people, not by laws."

Zuo Fu said: "When the rules are set, they must be enforced, otherwise they are just a piece of paper."

"Doesn't this depend on personal morality?"

"Hehe, it's impossible to be perfect, but at least we can set up more difficulties and supervise more, so that they can restrain themselves."

"Officials and officials protect each other, do you think it's just what the common people say?"

Wang Qinian said quite indignantly: "In the past, when the old man was in charge, he saw his clansmen being bullied by petty officials. There were no scholars in my Wang family ancestors, and all three generations were poor peasants. That petty official wounded my uncle. My uncle has not yet Before he had time to go to the county government office to file a complaint, he was rushed back when he left the village. The county owner knew that the old man's house was only a few dozen miles away from the county government office, but within these few dozen miles, the old man's family was not even a mile away. If you can’t get out, this is officialdom!”

Zoff fell silent.

Yes, no system is perfect, and such things will be difficult to eradicate even in future generations, but...

Just because it is difficult, do you have to give up yourself?
Do not!
An imperfect system can be gradually perfected, the key is to see if you have the heart.

"That's why I want everyone to know how to read."

Zuo Fu said slowly: "It makes a big difference whether a person reads or not..."

Wang Qinian was stunned for a moment, "Is this the intention of the county magistrate?"

"The people can carry a boat, but they can also overturn it. Tang Taizong said it so clearly, but after thousands of years, no one understands it."

Zuo Fu smiled lightly and shook his head, "They don't understand that to make officials honest, it depends on the people."

"Didn't Taizu also make a big statement? But those villagers..."

"Taizu's intentions were good, but he ignored the quality of the villagers."

Zuo Fu shook his head, "I just said that our morality is acquired, so I want these people to read books. Only after reading the book and understanding the truth, can they supervise officials rationally, know how to maintain legal order and Self-interest."

"How can the common people supervise the officials?"

Wang Qinian was also really confused.

Although he was born at the bottom, after so many years as an official, he also understands that the people are afraid of officials, let alone supervision, even if they see them, they can't even speak well. If they are so afraid, how can they supervise?
"Ha ha……"

Zuo Fu laughed, "If you officials are willing to embolden the villagers, they will naturally have the courage to supervise you."

The concept of superiority and inferiority, hierarchy is not broken, and this supervision is empty talk. How can ordinary people have the courage to fight with officials?So if these ordinary people don't broaden their knowledge and knowledge, they won't be able to put pressure on the officials.

Breaking the monopoly of knowledge and making these elites less elite is the best way to monitor their behavior.

Although, this method is not perfect, but it is better than now.

It was inconvenient to talk to Wang Qinian about these things, so after talking for a few words, Zuo Fu changed the topic, "I heard that your lord will be going back in two days?"

Seeing that Zuo Fu didn't want to say more, Wang Qinian wisely didn't ask any more questions.

He took a sip of tea, nodded, and said, "I'm bothering the county master these days."

"Your Excellency is welcome."

Zuo Fu smiled and said: "If my lord goes back, can you bring something to His Majesty for me?"

"Oh?"

Wang Qinian was a little surprised, "What will the county chief bring to His Majesty?"

"It's nothing, just a letter."

Two days later, Wang Qinian set off for Nanjing.After arriving in Nanjing, he didn't care about rest, and immediately asked to see the emperor.When Zhu Cihong learned that Wang Qinian was back, he also put down his work, summoned him into his bedroom, and personally inquired about the frontline affairs.

"It's really that powerful?"

After listening to Wang Qinian's statement, Zhu Cihong smiled, "I knew Sister Fu'er would have a backup, otherwise how dare she go to the front line with her fear of death?"

"..."

fear death?I didn't see it at all, I just felt very bold...

"The report on the burning of the Qing army's ships was sent a few days ago, but the courtiers still didn't believe it. Now it's all right, Ai Qing is back, and they have nothing to say."

Zhu Cihong said happily: "Banban, let the kitchen cook some food."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Wang Qinian again, "Aiqing, you've worked hard this time. But I still want to hear about Jingkou, so why don't you stay and have dinner with me?"

"I don't work hard, it's my honor to be given food by Your Majesty."

"Hehe, come on, sit down, tell me, what's the matter with the solar lamp?"

"This minister can't tell clearly...but Your Majesty, the county lord sent you a letter, would you like to read it?"

"Sister Fu'er has a letter for me? Why didn't you say it earlier? Come on, bring it to me."

Wang Qinian hurriedly handed over Zuo Fu's letter.Zhu Cihong opened it and found several sheets of paper, so he sat down and read it slowly.

After a while, he put the letter down, and the joy on his face disappeared a lot, revealing a bit of bitterness.

Wang Qinian was also very good at observing words and expressions, and when he saw the Son of Heaven, he asked, "Your Majesty, what is this?"

"Sister Fu'er sent a letter saying that she wanted to renovate the official road from Nanjing to Jingkou, so that Jingkou could be used as the first front line against the Qing army, so as to facilitate the transportation of materials in the later stage."

Zhu Cihong smiled wryly, "The idea is right, but, where did I get the money?"

This topic is boring.

Before Emperor Hongguang was in charge, because he was afraid of the warlords in the four towns in Jiangbei, he enjoyed himself so much that he spent all the money he collected on it. When Zhu Cihong took over, the treasury was empty.Not to mention the money for road construction, even the salaries of officials are not enough for several months...

"Maybe you can recruit?"

Wang Qinian suggested: "I heard that many nobles gave money to Dayou Zuo. These people should have money in their hands. If..."

"Do you think they will take it out obediently?"

Zhu Cihong's eyes suddenly became very cold, "Father did this before, but did someone take out the money? Everyone called them poor, but the intruders took a lot of money from their homes, hehe, these people... "

I can see it through!

Zhu Cihong didn't say this sentence, but the meaning was just that.

Wang Qinian twitched his lower lip, he didn't know how to answer these words.He has always been an official in the local area, and this is the first time he is so close to the high-level officials. He doesn't understand the thinking of these high-level officials, just like many years ago, he didn't understand why these people opposed the opening of the sea trade.

"His Majesty……"

Thinking of this, Wang Qinian suddenly mustered up his courage and said, "It's better to open the sea!"

Zhu Cihong was startled, "Aiqing, I dare not say such a thing!"

"His Majesty!"

Wang Qinian gritted his teeth, "I have been an official in coastal areas of Fujian and other places for many years, and the benefits of trade are huge. If I wait to open the sea, it will not only solve the coastal banditry, but also increase profits. Your Majesty, many Japanese pirates are fake Japanese, and they are all ours." People! They have no way to survive, so they went to this business!"

As Wang Qinian spoke, he told Zhu Cihong what he had seen and heard in the past years as an official along the coast, "Those Xiyi people like our porcelain very much, not to mention the high-quality products produced by official kilns, even folk porcelains are hugely profitable. Which one of those sea merchants is not making a lot of money? Right now is a good time, Ming Dynasty is in danger, if anyone opposes..."

Wang Qinian remembered Zuo Fu's words, and his expression gradually became resolute, "Whoever is my sinner, you can punish him!!"
