In front of Liujin was a wall with a picture hanging on it.
The late scholar Liu Sanwu's handwriting is still small at six pounds and it is difficult to tell whether the calligraphy is good or bad. If such a word is taken out, it is worth thousands of gold.
But compared with the value of calligraphy itself, the content of calligraphy is as heavy as Mount Tai.
"You were born into wealth, grew up in a deep palace, and are husbands, emperors, sons, and princes. You must first restrain yourself. Every time you wear a piece of clothing, you should show mercy to the silkworm woman. Every time you eat a meal, you should think of the farmer..."
"Admonishment to the Emperor's Family", written by Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.
The reason why the six-pound corporal punishment made him look at this calligraphy and painting repeatedly in Qianqing Palace was because at today's court meeting, he, the prince, was very disrespectful.
When the ministers reported that the floods in Huaibei had improved and that the road construction route had been drawn up and construction started, the prince Liu Jin actually fell asleep leaning on the gilded bronze crane under the imperial steps!
If it were in the future, this would not be a big deal.
What a kid, why should I scold him harshly!
But every era has different moral principles. Especially when someone comes from an imperial family and is burdened with heavy responsibilities, not being strict with him will not only harm him, but also the whole world.
Moreover, what he is burdened with is absolutely different from that of ordinary children.
"Then what does it mean?" Zhu Yunxi said with a cold face.
"Back to my father, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty warned his sons that when you grow up in a deep palace and enjoy the prosperity and wealth provided by all the people in the world, you must be strict with yourself. When wearing clothes, you must think of the hard work of women raising silkworms. When eating, Think of the hardships of farmers!" Liujin said loudly.
Zhu Yunxi looked at him, "Why did Emperor Taizong say these things to his sons?"
"Tang Taizong is warning his sons to worry about the people and pity the world!" Liujin said loudly, "You can't be arrogant and extravagant and greedy for enjoyment, let alone be aloof and disregard the life and death of the people!"
"Yes!" Zhu Yunxi nodded and said with slight satisfaction, "It's rare for you to have this experience!"
"Go back to my father!" Liujin turned his head, "This is a commandment to the emperor. The bachelors have said it! The bachelors also said that water can carry a boat and also capsize it. The people should be put first in the world. The king should know that the people are in difficulty and be gentle. Rule the world with generosity!"
Zhu Yunxi nodded again with satisfaction, "What about being gentle and generous?"
"There is also fairness and justice!" Liujin said without hesitation, "It's like the ancestor said, the king has to make decisions for the people of the world!"
"You brat is smart, just follow me!"
Zhu Yunxi secretly thought to himself, but his face was still straight, "Well, it's okay, you have a good memory!" He said, frowning and said, "When learning something, you must know its meaning, you can't just know the superficial knowledge, let alone be clever, etiquette is more important It's too careless. Let me spare you for today's matter!"
"My dear father, thank you!"
"Come here and have some snacks!"
After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, he ran to the table with six pounds, picked up a piece of snacks, and said, "Father, eat first!"
"Eat it!" Zhu Yunxi's face softened, "Don't eat it too sweet..."
Before he finished speaking, Liu Jin opened his small mouth and quickly stuffed the chestnut cake directly into it.
You must be strict when raising your son.
This is Zhu Yunxi's own experience. In his last life, if he made a mistake as a child, his father would definitely be like the seven wolves. In his words, if a son is poor and his daughter is raised rich, a filial son will be born under a stick. Not useful.
It’s okay if you can’t be successful, but you must be a good person!
At this moment, the bastard reported outside, "Your Majesty, Scholar Jie is here!"
"Enter!"
~~
Xie Jin entered the Nuan Pavilion, "I, my minister Xie Jin, go to see the emperor, the prince, and the eldest princess!"
Zhu Yunxi said nothing and looked at Liu Jin.
The latter swallowed the cake in his mouth and said, "Xie Xue Xiu is flat!" He said, waving his little hand and said, "Come here, give Xie Xue Xue a seat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Crown Prince!" Xie Jin thanked him but did not stand up.
Zhu Yunxi said, "Sit down flat!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Liu Jin picked up another snack and rolled his eyes, "Um... Bachelor Jie, want one? It's quite sweet!"
"This..." Xie Jin was startled and his body stiffened.
Zhu Yunxi didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and scolded him with a straight face, "Don't interrupt!"
After saying that, he looked at Xie Jin, "What's the matter with you, Ai Qing?"
"The memorial from Duke Cao Guo and Uncle Guo has arrived!" Xie Jin presented the memorial with both hands.
Zhu Yunxi saw that Xie Jin seemed to be hesitant to speak. He did not read the two memorials and asked, "Is there anything else?"
"Well..." Xie Jin paused, "There are gentry in Xuzhou who sued the imperial envoy, Mr. Xin, the comfort envoy!"
"ah?"
Zhu Yunxi was slightly surprised. Xin Yande was the imperial envoy responsible for the disaster relief in Huaibei and the construction of official roads with work in exchange for relief. Who could sue him? And he could go directly to the center. Which gentry has such great energy?
"The person who filed the complaint is Zeng Bing, the former Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. He retired due to illness in the 18th year of Hongwu and returned to his hometown!"
Quite prestigious!”
The Jinshi in the fourth year of Hongwu were the Jinshi when the imperial examination was held for the first time in the Ming Dynasty.
There are rare figures in the court, but they have a very important social status among the people, and even the government relies on them.
Zhu Yunxi changed his posture and sat, leaning back slightly, raising his head and saying, "What did he tell Xin Yande?"
"Forcibly occupying people's fields and injuring people's lives!" Xie Jin whispered, "The reason is because of road construction!"
~~
The route set by the central government to build official roads with work in exchange for relief starts from the Xuzhou Ancient Road.
Because too many civilians were mobilized, the two ends began to be built separately.
When delineating the route of the official road in Xuzhou, there happened to be a section of the road that occupied people's land.
It doesn't mean it's occupation. This was originally an abandoned ancient road and belonged to the land cultivated by the people privately. However, the rules of the Ming Dynasty have always been like this. People are encouraged to open up wasteland. If the people open up wasteland for farming, the government not only cannot pursue it, but also rewards it.
and land deeds, becoming the private property of the people.
The imperial court required land to build roads, but the people were not happy.
The government offered compensation, but the people were not happy.
Here, we must first understand the meaning of the word common people.
If the owner of this land is a businessman, a craftsman, or someone from other industries, and the government has so much control over you, just lock him up and question him.
But these are farmers who have land, property and family, that is, farmers among scholars, farmers, industry and merchants.
Besides, the old man’s imperial edict is still there, which official would dare to bully the people at will?
But he didn't have access to oil and salt, and refused to build roads for the government. Several brothers from that family lay down in the fields, trying to occupy my land and overpowering us.
You suppress yours! I will kill ours! Then we will meet in the capital and at the Jinluan Hall of the Ming Dynasty!
The construction period is so tight that there can be no delay. For this reason, not only the construction period is delayed, but every additional day of delay will cost tens of thousands of people an astronomical amount of food.
So, someone came up with a plan.
In the dark and windy night, a group of people rushed directly to the homes of those farmers, tied up the men, women, and children, and diligently helped them move, turning their homes into ruins.
These people were so angry that they had no choice but to come to the capital to complain, but they were still being watched and couldn't move anywhere.
When Zeng Shilang, who retired from old age and returned to his hometown, heard about this incident, his sense of justice was overwhelming. He first went to the magistrate's office to curse, and then went to the imperial envoy's office to ask for an audience, but was rejected.
In anger, he went directly to the Central Committee and sued Xin Yande.
The logic of his complaint is very simple. I don't care whether you, the imperial envoy, know about this. Anyway, you have nothing to do with it, so I will sue you!
There is no logic, but it is very effective, and it goes straight to heaven!
After listening to Xie Jin's story, Zhu Yunxi frowned deeply.
"What is the resettlement plan provided by the Xuzhou government?"
Xie Jin replied, "The original intention was to buy their fields at twice the market price. But those common people..."
"Do you want too much?" Zhu Yunxi asked.
"It is said that you will be compensated ten for one!" Xie Jin looked at Zhu Yunxi's face and said, "The lion's mouth is wide open!"
After saying that, he whispered, "In my opinion, the official road to be built is not one or two hundred miles, but runs from north to south. There will be more and more such things in the future, if everyone is a lion.
....?"
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "What if that land belongs to your family?" As he said that, he looked outside and said, "Practice Zining from the Ministry of Communication and Engineering, Zhu Gaoxu and the others, come here!"
