It's a rare clear day in winter, so much so that the sunlight makes people feel dizzy.
Especially the light that shines into the hall from the glazed windows is colorful and extremely dazzling at the same time.
Zhu Gaochi was a little annoyed, annoyed by those dazzling lights.
He was sitting on a round stool sorting out the government documents in his hands, while Zhu Yunxi was sitting by the window, bathing in the sunshine.
"You're going to die in the sun, you stinky bitch!"
He glanced at Zhu Yunxi and thought to himself.
"snort!"
Suddenly, after he silently scolded Zhu Yunxi in his heart, the emperor beside the bed suddenly let out a cold snort.
Zhu Gaochi shrank his neck and turned to look.

"Look at this excerpt from Magistrate Songjiang!"
Zhu Yunxi threw the memorial away and sneered, "Li Yixing just did some practical things, but he made the village elders unhappy. First, someone wanted to dig up his family's ancestral grave, and then someone poured excrement on his family's memorial arch in broad daylight..."
Zhu Gaochi glanced quickly, frowned and said, "The unruly people are disgusting and should be punished!"
Was that shit just splashed on the archway in Li Zhigang's hometown? You must know that the archway was the one awarded by the imperial court for Jinshi status, so that shit was also splashed on the face of the Ming Dynasty court.
Zhu Gaochi continued to look down and muttered, "The archway was defiled... The old lady of the Li family was frightened and fainted and became seriously ill... Hiss!"
At the same time, he thought to himself, "Okay, I got it this time! The ancestral graves are not safe and people threw excrement in front of the door. How can Zizi express his gratitude!"
At the same time, he thought in his heart, "This Li Yixing is really a character! In order to get promoted, all the provinces were disturbed by him. The officials and gentry regarded him as a scourge. In order to show his selflessness, he was not only cruel to others, but also to himself.
My hometown is even more cruel!"
"Not only did the Li family spit out all the advantages they had taken over the years, but they also personally sent people to recover the ill-gotten wealth embezzled by the officials and gentry in their hometown over the years, and even the landlords who had given their land to others were not spared!"
"Not only that, but he also directly exposed the secrets of the official warehouses in all provinces to the world... He was the instigator of the reform of the grain chief system in the imperial court. He is so ruthless. He has ruined the wealth of countless people!"
Thinking about it, he looked at Zhu Yunxi again, and continued to think to himself, "Zizi really raised a good dog! He can bite people, and he will bite him to death!"
"As for the New Deal, it seems that Li Yixing is taking the most credit so far!" Zhu Yunxi stood up, walked slowly to Zhu Gaochi's side, and said with his hands behind his back, "He vigorously and resolutely picked out all the shortcomings and rectified them vigorously, so that the New Deal implemented by the imperial court
The teacher is famous."
"Throughout the ages, any reform has to go through a period of sluggishness, which will initially lead to a gap in the country's fiscal and taxation or the inability to succeed!" Zhu Yunxi sighed and said, "The most important thing is that the reform will cause turmoil! But look at Li Yixing, although
It was done in a hurry, but it did not cause unrest and confrontation in the local area, which is commendable!"
Zhu Gaochi didn't say anything at first, but he thought to himself, "Li Yixing first caught the local officials, and then asked these officials to use all their strength to implement new policies in exchange for redemption!"
I heard Zhu Yunxi say again, "Not only did it not cause local confrontation, in terms of grain taxes...especially the six northern provinces he just visited, the taxes paid by each province this year were 25% more than in previous years!"
As he said that, Zhu Yunxi smiled proudly, "And this extra money is not the people's fat and oil squeezed by the officials and gentry, but the grain tax that the Ming Dynasty should have had but was withheld in the past!"
Seeing his expression like this, Zhu Gaochi said, "This is all because the emperor knows people and makes good use of them!
He said this, but rolled his eyes in his heart, "The extra food tax is indeed not a blessing to the people, but it comes from the pockets of the officials and gentry. You and Li Ogou really vomited out everything they ate.
If I take what you got and give it back to you, you’ll have to pay double the amount!”
"Knowing people and making good use of them?" Zhu Yunxi pursed his lips and smiled, "That's hard to say. You know how I employ people. I don't doubt the people I employ. I don't doubt the people I employ and I don't use them. I am willing to delegate power and help ministers who can do things to withstand the thunder!"
"Yes, yes, the emperor knows how to use people, and I can't match them!" Zhu Gaochi said again.
"Now it seems that after Li Yixing completes his inspection in the provinces south of the Yangtze River, the New Deal can be implemented directly!" Zhu Yunxi smiled again, "Because all the problems have been solved and all the obstacles have been removed!"
"This all depends on the Emperor's foresight..."
"No, no, no!" Zhu Yunxi interrupted Zhu Gaochi's insincere flattery, "The credit should go to Li Yixing for charging forward!" After saying that, he paused, "And you, you ministers in the center, are also wholeheartedly helping me.
Implement the New Deal. Sit at the center and plan carefully."
"You finally said something humane!" Zhu Gaochi thought to himself.
Indeed, if they, the ministers of the South Study House, were also opposed to the New Deal, no matter how good Li Zhigang was at doing things, he would still be unable to move even once he went to the local government. Even without the efforts of these cabinet ministers in the central government, the officials in the DPRK and the Central Committee would have been unable to do anything.
There were quarrels over the New Deal, and they continued to impeach each other!
Li Zhigang's credit seems to be his own, but his credit is based on the fact that the Ming Dynasty had a united and powerful team.
"Hey, in world affairs, it is easy to maintain success, but difficult to innovate!" Zhu Yunxi sighed again, "Li Yi Xing implemented the New Deal, and his ancestral graves were in danger, and people poured excrement on the archway in front of the door..." He said with a bitter smile, "
I guess he can’t get away with his reputation as a sycophant!”
At this point, he laughed at himself again, "I guess my reputation won't be much better. I wonder what the world will say about it a hundred years from now!"
Zhu Gaochi smiled and said, "You can talk to other people, let them say what they want! But people's hearts are like scales. The New Deal has harmed the interests of many people, but it has benefited more ordinary people. It is up to everyone to decide what is right and what is wrong!"
As he said that, he looked at the memorial from the Songjiang Prefect in his hand, and his mind suddenly changed.
"Li Yixing was born into a wealthy family in Songjiang. His family has thousands of hectares of fertile land and several weaving workshops..." Zhu Gaochi said slowly, "The Li family is a truly famous family in the local area. There are a total of twenty-eight children in the family who have the status of being elected.
, Jinshi, the twelfth person, and seven people who have served as officials since the dynasty... With this big excrement, the Li family's century-old reputation... will be destroyed in one day!"
He said with a smile, "Although I have always disliked Li Yixing's style of doing things, I have always admired his talents!"
Then, he sighed and said, "He is a person who can do practical things and dares to do practical things. Such people are very valuable. But unfortunately... he has to be infamous!" Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "Pass this to future generations.
The Jinshi and Dakongfang were actually sprayed with feces... Hey! There are so many fools in the world, and the misunderstandings are so deep!"
"Jinshi and Dakongfang!" Zhu Yunxi tapped his fingers on the table, thoughtfully.
"Come on, Xizi?" Zhu Gaochi laughed secretly in his heart, "Your love will make people throw shit at you, so you can't express it?"
"Uh..." Zhu Yunxi pondered for a moment, then turned around and said, "Pass the message!"
Outside, Xin Yande came in possessed, "I'm here!"
"His name is Shangshu, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, and the official Li Zhigang is diligent in state affairs and fulfills his duties. He is not afraid of difficulties and has the courage to take on responsibilities!" Zhu Yunxi said, "Special favor, and I will be awarded the title of Zide doctor!"
"Well......"
Zhu Gaochi burped and almost choked himself.
In the Ming Dynasty, civil servants had a rank of forty-two, and Zide doctor ranked sixth. That was an honorary rank that could only be awarded by the second rank. So he gave it to Li Zhigang's vicious dog?
However, Zhu Yunxi's words were not finished yet.
"Li Zhigang's trip to the south of the Yangtze River. What he did was fair and fair for the country and the people. He was an example for the ministers in the world and a pillar of the Ming Dynasty! I have sent another special order... to add Li Zhigang to Prince Shaobao..."
