In fact...

Many people find it strange.

The emperor only has one son like the crown prince, so it is natural to rely on the crown prince.

But in this matter, Your Majesty obviously developed a strong interest in the prince's opinion.

This is a bit ulterior motive.

Liu Jian also noticed something, so he said, "Your Majesty, what Duke Qi said is not unreasonable. The memorials of Yang Family in Bozhou are also ridiculous, but... the old minister thought that just because of a memorial, he made a reprimand and even had the idea of ​​a big fight. This is not a blessing for the country. Moreover, the gentry in Jiangnan has suffered heavy losses, and it is natural that gentry families like Yang Family in the world are worried about it. Now that the court has used heavy dictates to the gentry in Jiangnan, then we cannot just be tough, but need to make some comfort. Only soft and hard, and using both suppression and comfort is the most compromise."

After all, Liu Jian was an old minister of several dynasties.

His words were quite pertinent.

Suppressing people blindly will make people desperate, for fear of backfire. They will choose to burn together and deal with them, just like fishing. When it should be loose, it should be loose when it should be tight, and when it should be tight.

Emperor Hongzhi paused thoughtfully before saying, "So according to your words, let's just forget it?"

"This incident has happened and it is impossible not to cause any discussion. Since that's the case, why not..."

At this time, someone stood up, but everyone looked at it, but it was Xie Qian, a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet.

Xie Qian continued: "Then why not, the court discusses the right and wrong, and it will be clear if one debate."

As soon as this said, even Liu Jian was surprised. He turned around and looked at Xie Qian in surprise.

Isn’t Xie Qian’s move lifting oil to put out the fire?

Emperor Hongzhi was also shocked. He looked at Xie Qian and fell silent.

Originally, some people thought this was very unfair to the gentry in Jiangnan.

Those gentry in Jiangnan must be full of grievances. As for the migration process, there is no need to say how many wives and children will be separated.

Since the court has decided to implement it, it has come to this point. First, the Yang family of Bozhou suddenly submitted a memorial, and then I have heard that there are many criticisms in Huguang and other places. According to the prince's wishes, this matter is to suppress all these matters and punish some people who are ignorant.

But now, the Grand Secretary of the Cabinet actually asked the court to discuss publicly.

Emperor Hongzhi became taboo, and he really felt embarrassed.

Xie Qian was an old minister and his right-hand man. The strategy of the gentry in Jiangnan was decided by Emperor Hongzhi when he was in Jiangnan. He was straightforward and did not discuss with the cabinet. Xie Qian's attitude... he did not take it seriously.

But who would have thought...

Emperor Hongzhi then said slowly: "Xie Qing's family is also from Jiangnan, right?"

Xie Qian looked very bad, but he immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I am from Yuyao, Shaoxing Prefecture, Zhejiang."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "Have you also gone to Luzon?"

Xie Qian shook his head: "Some of my tribe members have gone to me, and some have sold all the land at a low price in order to stay in my hometown."

Emperor Hongzhi said: "So, the Qing family is very displeased with this?"

Xie Qian took a deep breath and kowtowed: "I died thousands of times, I... If I don't like it, I shouldn't be happy. The old minister has been in the past few dynasties and has been loved by His Majesty and has been ranked as prime minister. He is well aware that the harm of land annexation in the Ming Dynasty has reached an urgent point if it is not resolved. Therefore, the exemption of rent in Xishan Money House is a good rule. There is absolutely no dispute about this. In the cabinet, I have also devoted all my efforts to solve the problem caused by rent-free loan in Xishan Money House. This is something that Mr. Liu and Mr. Li can see. Please give your Majesty a clear understanding."

Emperor Hongzhi's face looked a little better, and then he said, "Then... you seem to be resentful?"

"Yes!" Xie Qian nodded honestly.

In fact, this...is also the reason why Xie Qian was trusted by Emperor Hongzhi.

He is happy, and naturally he is happy, and he is unhappy, he is unhappy.

Show your attitude openly and honestly.

As for Emperor Hongzhi, everyone has different ideas, which is understandable. As long as you don’t have one set in front of others and one set in the back of others.

Emperor Hongzhi said patiently: "So, what's your resentment?"

Xie Qian said seriously: "Your Majesty, it is understandable that the money house is free from rent. In order to have more land free from rent, I have no objection to the migration of gentry. But in this process, it is too rough. Your Majesty is the father of the tenant farmer, but also the king and father of the gentry. What a place in Luzon is thousands of miles apart. The court said he would send it away. So many people went overseas, helpless and were among the natives, and were in danger of protection. Wouldn't this put them to death? The old minister thought of their miserable situation and couldn't sleep for many days... How could the old minister not be the same as them at the beginning? Now that they were suffering from such dissipation, they thought they had no relatives and were in a panic state, the old minister... I felt that Your Majesty was wrong in the aftermath."

He was as honest as ever and spoke righteously.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was slightly red.

Zhu Houzhao said at this time: "The court has its own laws and regulations. It has its own origins. Why can ordinary people move? The gentry cannot move? Those gentry, the court spent countless manpower and material resources to migrate them in order to migrate them, but how did they end up harming them?"

Xie Qian said seriously: "Your Highness the Crown Prince has his own opinion, but the old minister also has his opinion. This is also the reason why the old minister begs His Majesty to conduct court discussions. I hope Your Majesty can listen to the suggestions of other ministers. Many of these ministers, their relatives have also gone to Luzon. As the saying goes, it is clear. If the court does not inquire about this, it will cause resentment. Maybe... listen more. If there are any bad things to deal with, you can make up for it."

After all, Zhu Houzhao could not argue with Xie Qian, and he was also silent for a moment.

But Emperor Hongzhi felt depressed.

He can ignore other people's words, but Xie Qian... the friendship between the king and the minister for so many years...

What's more, what Xie Qian said was not completely unreasonable. He never overturned the Xishan Money House without rent, nor did he have any criticism of the migrant gentry. He just believed that the means of migration were a bit rough.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao who was speechless for a moment, and seemed to have been paying attention to the prince's words and deeds.

"Crown Prince, I want to hear what you think, is it a court discussion?"

Zhu Houzhao's chest was undulating, as if he was angry: "Father, even if it was a court discussion, the son minister thought there was nothing scary. It was right. No matter how he said it, he could not tell the right things as wrong. The migration of the gentry was the order issued by the father, but it was done by Xishan. The Zhenguo Mansion also made a lot of efforts, and the son minister spent a lot of thought on this matter. The son minister... agreed to the court discussion and wanted to defend them personally."

Liu Jian and others looked at Zhu Houzhao... and showed sympathy.

Your Highness the Crown Prince...is still too young.

Do you know what court discussion is?

You actually want to argue with them clearly?

Just pick out one or a finger can crush Your Highness!

Of course, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince proposes a knife, it may be a different story. All of this is under the premise of everyone's reasoning.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but be speechless. He couldn't understand how the prince was provoked and immediately became fooled.

But this has come to this...

Emperor Hongzhi said, "Since that's the case, then... choose a day and discuss it in the court."

Today, he wanted to ask the six ministers and nine ministers whom he relied on. If he was the crown prince and claimed to be the emperor, he would not have expected that Cheng Yaojin would appear halfway.

It is obviously not suitable to talk about passing the throne at this time.

Therefore... there was no inquiry.

When the ministers retreated, Emperor Hongzhi left Fang Jifan alone.

Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi with a smile: "Your Majesty doesn't know..."

"The prince seems to be too strong." Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly and said worriedly.

"It is correct for the prince to do this. Only by sticking to his own opinions and not being shaken by others' words is the most important thing for the king." Fang Jifan said: "If not, he will be fickle and change every day. What benefits does this... have to do with the country? In any measure in this world, if someone gains profit, someone will lose. There has never been a good result of both worlds. Your Majesty... His prince's will be as determined as iron and will not be shaken easily. This is a blessing."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded thoughtfully; "Then your family thinks that those gentry in Luzon..."

"The migration of the gentry in Luzon was proposed by me; it was also approved by His Majesty; and the specific migration measures were handled by Zhenguo Mansion and Xishan Money House. Even the emperor and grandson participated in this plan. My son thought... there was nothing wrong and nothing to blame."

Emperor Hongzhi's face became gentle and said with a smile: "I, the prince, the emperor's grandson, and you Fang Jifan, we are also on the same boat... Well, I have a scheming in my heart."

Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty is wise..."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand in disgust: "Go away quickly, I'm exhausted."

Fang Jifan looked at Emperor Hongzhi with resentment. Should he change his tricks in the future?

…………

Luzon.

Luzon Governor Liu Yi felt that his head hurts!

He was the Minister of Revenue in Nanjing, but was demoted to Luzon as a governor. In this life, he was afraid that there would be no hope for his career.

Before he came, he was in great pain, but when he got here... it was actually pretty good.

The Governor's Office was an auxiliary building of the previous Governor's Office, which was also considered to be carved beams and painted buildings. The facilities here are all available, thanks to the Spanish.

Not only that... the natives here are actually peaceful.

The land of the Spanish manors was handed over to the gentry. The gentry found that the land here was extremely fertile, not only that... the local natives were also very easy to support. They gave them some rent and they were willing to farm.

There is plenty of sunshine here, so people find that... crops can be easily ripened.

And there are countless fruits and fruits.

For the same land, less investment is needed, but more output is unknown.

The gentry took their families and began to settle down, and at the same time hired tenants in their own fields to start irrigation...

Oh, no, there is no need for irrigation here, because... the water is available at any time.

The ships of the Sihai Commercial Bank arrived, brought a large amount of supplies and purchased a large amount of agricultural products. In this way... what can be enjoyed in Jiangnan can be enjoyed here.

This...this is a good place!
