This Zhang Shan looks honest and honest, but he didn't expect to be able to say something so outrageous!
After your Majesty's meeting, only the grandfather and grandson were left in the palace. The old man held a tea cup and said with a smile, in the prosperous land of Hangzhou, there will be a cruel prefect in the future!
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, he has gained wisdom through every experience. If he hadn't been stopped by his subordinates in Fuzhou, the disaster in Fuzhou would not have reached that level. Now when he goes to Hangzhou, he is a foreign official, and those people in the local area may not have
Be convinced, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand firm if I don't be more ruthless.
He is also a smart man and knows your intention in appointing him as the magistrate of Hangzhou! The old man also said that he must govern Hangzhou and not repeat the same mistakes. In the world, the richer the place, the harder it is to be an official!
Zhu Yunxi pondered slightly. According to the confessions of officials in the capital, the Jiangnan case was mostly caused by the protection and cover-up of local officials. The Jiangnan officialdom and the local area were really deeply involved!
The Sun Bubu case is a criminal case, but behind this case, as rulers, the grandfather and grandson saw a different side. One is that small officials can have great power, and the other is the ultimate source behind this power.
money.
The Sun family has power and the ability to turn power into money, so they can form a huge network of relationships. The Zhang family, the bully in Tonglu County for twenty years, was a bully to the people, but it was also because of their money that they were able to run rampant against the government for twenty years.
The old man put down his tea bowl, patted the memorial on the table, and squinted his eyes. How long has it been since the founding of the country? How many blind people have we killed? How come they have no awe at all? As he spoke, his eyes fell on Hou Hou
In the memorial, he also said that when the officials were selected, they were all upright people. How come they changed as soon as they arrived at the local level?
The cover of the pile of memorials was different from what Zhu Yunxi saw. He knew that it was a secret report from Jin Yiwei. Even if he was the crown prince, he could not read it privately without the permission of the old man.
It’s just money and power! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, once he tastes the benefits of these two things, he will forget about losing his head! Besides, there are many rich businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River. Officials don’t need to be greedy for the people’s wealth, royal grain and taxes. They just eat those businessmen.
The filial piety of a wealthy family can fill their pockets.
In other places, if officials want to be corrupt, they can only manipulate the country's money and the people's money. In Jiangnan, as long as officials give some green light and make it easier, people will naturally send money. Moreover, this money
Spending money is much more comfortable and safer than being greedy for money. At least, the accounts department will not check the accounts.
Businessman, there is nothing good! The old man snorted coldly and acted according to the prevailing circumstances, forgetting his loyalty when he saw profits.
The old man has a deep prejudice against people who do not make a living by farming. When the Ming Dynasty was founded and governed, the people and scholars were treated favorably, but there were many restrictions on merchants. Although there was no commercial tax, it promoted the prosperity of business.
But they were not allowed to use slaves, were not allowed to wear silk clothes, and were not even allowed to have the right to speak.
But when wealth accumulates to a certain level, businessmen will definitely have the right to speak. After they have the right to speak, they will want more power. This is the law of social development. In fact, it is not necessarily all bad. But the bad is bad.
, they will exchange the money in their hands for rights, and then use this rights to exchange for more money.
When they have power and wealth, what they want is to be above the law.
The Suzhou Weaving Factory is an example in the Knock Que case. Eight workers died in the fire. The owner of the weaving factory spent countless money in order to prevent the workers' families from filing a complaint. However, in order to cover up the peace, the local officials in Suzhou not only did not investigate the case,
Instead, arrest the accuser.
From the government's point of view, such appalling things are not allowed under their rule, but they are merciless when they accept money from businessmen. If they deal with businessmen, they will not be able to protect themselves from others and dig out old accounts.
From a businessman's point of view, they would rather give large sums of money to the government than use small sums to support the bereaved families. This is not stupidity. It is because at the beginning of the incident, they did not expect that anyone would dare to go to Beijing to complain.
When they found out that someone really wanted to file a complaint, they would rather spend a lot of money and use their connections to appease them because they didn't dare to open the door. Just imagine, if in the future, if a worker was slightly unsatisfied and had to file a complaint, how would they feel?
Don’t you still have to pay?
Capital is bloody, but it won’t work if we don’t develop capital!
Exploitation will always exist, it is just a difference between visible and invisible.
Even the so-called civilized legislation only protects the exploited rather than eliminates the exploiters.
The Knock Que case brought out the bad officialdom in Jiangnan! Zhu Yunxi opened his mouth, but Sun'er thought that this matter could not be solved by killing. The richest places in the Ming Dynasty were in Jiangnan, accounting for 70% of the world's cotton output and millions of people.
To make a living, the government and the people benefit from each other. If the officialdom is in turmoil, the local area will surely suffer...
We are not stupid enough to kill them all without distinguishing between good and bad. The old man smiled and said, the world should be ruled by who can kill more people, but this cannot be the case in governing the world. Although we look down on businessmen, God makes people do their own work, that is
Each has its own use. He said and smiled again. These things, with their twists and turns, are much more difficult than conquering the world!
Grandpa Huang is wise! Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
Holy shit! As he said that, the old man sighed slightly, "Look, even if you become the emperor, there are things in the world that you can't control, and the world will not follow what I want, let alone perfection. We are
When you get older, these things will be a headache for you in the future!
My grandson doesn't feel a headache. He didn't take the case. Although the Suzhou Weaving Factory case is shocking, it is not the norm. The Ming Dynasty has laws, and my grandson is not a fool. He will kill those who deserve to be killed and those who deserve to be dealt with. My grandson will bear in mind your words.
, as an emperor, you must uphold justice for the people of the world. Only when the emperor's moral conduct is upright can the country be peaceful and the people be safe.
In fact, Zhu Yunxi himself didn't know what he was saying.
In his vision, the textile industry in Jiangnan will be the top priority of the empire's commerce in the future. If it really comes to an era of great commercial development, it is hard to say whether Sun Bubu's case will be repeated, but the Suzhou weaving factory was burned to death.
There will definitely be something like eight workers.
In his mind, this is not a multiple-choice question, but an endless dialectical question. If there is no development, and the country continues to follow the old path of focusing on agriculture and suppressing commerce, and then ignores the power of commerce, then the country will fall back on the old path.
What about strengthening the country? What about enriching the people? What about braving the wind and waves in the Age of Discovery and standing on top of the world?
History is cruel. It will not remember the humble people, but only the feats of the times. People are forgetful. They will only look at their own lives and will not care about the injustices of others.
A person with a glassy heart cannot be a good leader.
It's ironic, but it's reality.
Moreover, although the Ming Dynasty does not attach importance to commerce, it is a cotton empire with a good commercial foundation. Starting from the Yuan Dynasty, cotton was popularized and the Chinese people who were good at creativity turned cotton into cotton cloth.
Cotton cloth became a universal currency, a currency that held its value better than copper coins. It not only made it affordable for everyone in the Ming Dynasty to buy clothes, but it could also be sold overseas and create huge wealth.
The reason why the old man was able to conquer from the south to the north was because of the cotton economy of Jiangnan. The Ming Dynasty's current military also relies on the cotton of Jiangnan.
In the future, in Zhu Yunxi's empire, textile industries such as cotton will also be key industries.
The thoughts in his mind disappeared in a flash, and the old man smiled again and said, "You are still too young. After you have been tortured by this world for more than ten or twenty years, let's see if you can say such words again!" After that, the old man said seriously.
, However, you can see the Jiangnan officialdom, the people's livelihood behind it, and the country's economy (there is a saying in ancient times, don't use it!) from the grandson's case, we are very satisfied!
Zhu Yunxi smiled and said, "Why don't you reward your grandson?"
Daming has given it to you! What else do you want? The old man laughed and scolded you, you have a debt!
My grandson wants grandpa to live a long life!
The old man laughed happily, and said, "You are about to get married, and you are acting like a spoiled child like your grandfather!"
Even if your grandson is a hundred years old, he is still your grandson!
You are a thousand years old, and you are also our grandson! The old man laughed. At this moment, Zhu Yunxi put a pile of memorials in front of him and said, put aside the state affairs for a while and focus on the wedding first.
Zhu Yunxi opened a memorial. This was from the Procuratorate. Grandson, let’s see who they impeached again?
Let it go! The old man said, if anything happens, wait until after your wedding to deal with it. Don't disturb the happy event!
End, someone else is going to be unlucky!
When the old man said this, Zhu Yunxi understood in his heart. He put aside the brochures from the Inspectorate and picked up the brochures submitted by the chief secretaries of various places and read them.
Come, serve tea to your grandson! Seeing that the tea bowl in front of Zhu Yunxi was empty, the old man said, "Do you still need to give me orders for this kind of thing?"
No, Zhu Yunxi paused, and the old man’s tone was wrong.
If it were normal, his tea bowl would be empty, the old man would not be so pleasant.
Just as I was thinking about it, a handsome figure came out from the side hall carrying a cup of new tea. This slave deserves to die!
Isn't this the female official next to Concubine Hui?
Zhu Yunxi knew this woman, and there were two beautiful female officials around Concubine Guo Hui. One was named Miaoyun, and she was given to Zhu Yunxi. And this one was named Caiyun.
The wonderful clouds are plump and plump, while the colorful clouds are graceful. Each one is different and has its own style.
Why did she come to serve at Fengtian Palace?
Thinking in his mind, Zhu Yunxi looked at Caiyun and then at the old man.
The latter's face turned red and he awkwardly raised his teacup to cover his face.
Hehe! Zhu Yunxi was looking at Caiyun, who had turned into a woman's headdress, and snickered in his heart.
Grandpa Huang! Zhu Yunxi winked at the old man, okay!
