The emperor's gift of royal food was a rare favor for ordinary people and even ordinary ministers, but for Gao Pragmatic, it was quite common. However, since Zhu Yijun had something to do with him, he still ate it as quickly as possible, and then Went to see him.
When I saw Zhu Yijun, I saw him pacing in the room, looking quite anxious.
Gao Pingshi was a little surprised. He stepped forward and bowed, saying, "What's the matter with the emperor summoning his ministers here?"
When Zhu Yijun saw him, he immediately showed joy, stepped forward and grabbed Gao Pingshi's arm, and waved to the young eunuchs beside him: "You guys step aside first." The young eunuchs quickly bowed and left, leaving only Chen Ju. side.
Zhu Yijun looked at Gao Pragmatic with a smile: "It's not an urgent matter. I mainly want you to go out for a walk with me."
Gao pragmatic was stunned for a moment: "Going out for a walk? Where to go?"
When Zhu Yijun saw his appearance, his face suddenly dropped and he said displeasedly: "At the beginning of this year, I also went to Tianshou Mountain, but that time I paid homage to the mausoleum with the empress dowagers of the two palaces, and I was not allowed to move freely. Now. Now I finally have the opportunity to be alone, why can’t I just be surrounded by these people all day long and not be able to see anything I want to see?”
Gao Pragmatic frowned slightly: "What does the emperor mean, the white dragon fish suit? This... there seems to be some security concerns."
Zhu Yijun glanced at him: "What are the safety concerns? I didn't say I wanted to be like Emperor Wuzong. I just walked around the palace. How come it's not safe?"
"Um...how many bodyguards does the emperor bring?" Gao pragmatically said, "I don't know martial arts. If something happens, I'm afraid it will be difficult to protect him properly."
Then this was basically a compromise. Zhu Yijun suddenly laughed and stopped pretending to call himself me. He said with a smile: "I don't bring guards. Didn't you bring servants? Just bring a few and let's just pretend ...Well, you might as well stop pretending, you are still Gao Xiuzhuan, and as for me...do you have any brothers, I can just pretend to be one."
Gao pragmatic glanced at Zhu Yijun. His face was originally a Chinese character, but because he had always had some baby fat, he looked a bit round, relatively speaking, he looked younger. So Gao pragmatic said: "I have a big family. , my second brother, Gao Wuguan, is less than two years younger than me, so the emperor can take the risk temporarily."
Zhu Yijun was overjoyed and patted Gao Jingshi on the shoulder: "Okay, okay, now you are my eldest brother. Let's go to your place to change clothes first. My clothes have the wrong emblem, and I will reveal my secrets when I wear them. Fortunately, we are about the same figure." There are too many, please lend me a set of clothes to wear first."
That is, if your clothes are embroidered with various five-clawed dragons, if you wear them alone and walk on the street, you will probably be arrested and brought to see the official in less than an hour.
Gao pragmatic thought to himself: It is not a good job to take the emperor for a stroll. Safety is only one aspect. This is the imperial village after all, and now there are accompanying Beijing troops stationed nearby. There is no chance of encountering thieves like I did back then. However, The key is what does he want to see in Huangzhuang?
However, after all, Gao Pragmatic was not a native-born serious official, and he did not regard the emperor's incognito as a treason. Since safety was not a problem, he just had a look at the imperial palace, so he agreed.
Chen Ju immediately made arrangements, saying that the emperor would go to the courtyard where Gao Xiu Zhuan lived, and discuss the memorial speech with Gao Xiu Zhuan by the way. Several people immediately rushed to Gao Xiu Zhuan's small courtyard.
Gao pragmatically asked Gao Mo to bring out several sets of his own clothes for Zhu Yijun to choose from. He also took off his official uniform and changed into a navy blue Taoist robe and a scarf, looking like a young scribe.
Zhu Yijun also chose a set of Taoist robes, but they were moon-white. It was convenient for Chen Ju. He had his own ordinary clothes, but at this time he did not dare to dress at the same level as Zhu Yijun, so he had to change into a brown straight robe.
superior.
Gao Jingshi called Gao Mo, Cao Ke and Hou Gongchen, and asked Gao Mo to arrange for several servants from the Internal Affairs Department to follow him secretly, and then took Zhu Yijun out.
After leaving the courtyard of Huangzhuang, Gao Pingshi asked: "Where is the emperor going?"
Zhu Yijun glanced at Chen Ju and said, "I always hear Ke Dao Yanguan say that Huangzhuang is not good. I want to see what the situation is like in Huangzhuang." He then said pragmatically to Gao: "By the way, you have been editing recently.
Huidian, do you know the origin of Huangzhuang?"
Gao pragmatically said: "The origin of Huangzhuang... As early as when Chengzu was King of Yan, he owned Wangzhuang in Huangfa, Dongzhuangying and other places in Wanping, Yanjing. After Chengzu ascended the throne, he owned Wangzhuang in Beijing.
Wangzhuang was renamed Huangzhuang. According to historical records: "The capital was moved to Beiping and Wanping was promoted to the capital county. Then an official was ordered to return the Huangzhuang to Wanping." "That is why a warehouse was built on the land, so it was named Huangcangyun".
However, the official appearance of Huangzhuang was in the eighth year of Tianshun (1464). The land that was conquered by Cao Jixiang was used as the palace farmland, and the name of Huangzhuang came from this. In the second year of Emperor Xiaozhi's reign, there were five Huangzhuangs in Ji Nei, occupying a total of
There are more than 12,800 hectares of land. By the time of Zhengde, Huangzhuang developed faster and Wu Zong came to the throne. Within a month, Huangzhuang No. 7 was built, and later it increased to more than 300 hectares. Kings and relatives requested petitions and seized people's land.
No calculation. In the ten years from the 18th year of Hongzhi to the 8th year of Zhengde, thirty-three imperial villages were built, covering a total area of 37,595 hectares and 46 acres."
Zhu Yijun looked at Chen Ju again and asked, "How many hectares does the imperial village have now?"
Chen Ju is the handprint of the Royal Horse Supervisor. The Royal Horse Supervisor not only manages part of the capital camp, but also manages the Imperial Village, the Imperial Store, the pasture, etc., so Zhu Yijun has this question.
"About 50,000 hectares." Chen Ju lowered his head and replied.
"One hectare is one hundred acres, fifty thousand hectares, that is, five million acres." Zhu Yijun asked Gao pragmatically again: "Mr. Gao checked the acres in the past few years and found that the total cultivated land in our country's two capitals and thirteen provinces is about 800 million acres.
Around 5 million acres of Huangzhuang is now, which is not a large proportion. Why do some censors say it is so unbearable? How did they say it? "
Not long ago, Gao pragmatic was compiling the land and acres system. Hearing this, he said: "In February of the first year of Zhengde, Wang Jing, the censor of the governor's capital, asked for the removal of Huangzhuang, but there was no edict. The courtiers discussed it and all advocated its removal. Scholar Liu Jian and others
Jin Yan said: If the officials in charge of the village, under the pretense of power, force the common people, they will have to ask for more than the quota. What's more, the officials in charge of the school are like hungry jackals, causing great disturbance to the people, even squandering their property, complaining about their children, and complaining.
The ground was shaken and the roads were full of people fleeing. It was also because of this that thieves were running rampant inside and outside the capital.
However, Xia Wenmingong (Xia Yan) said in "An Investigation and Report on Huangzhuang Shu": Since our ancestors, everything in the palace has its own rules, and within the nine levels, if you have rich clothes and fine food, why not fail?
, I work with other men to invade the land and acres of property, humiliate the nobles of officials and pots, and mix in the villages to compete for the benefits of promotion. How can they show the world and teach future generations!"
"You remember clearly." Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "But I am very doubtful that my five million acres of imperial estate can really be so harmful?"
Gao pragmatically said: "But Your Majesty, the imperial estates are all concentrated near the capital, not to mention the capital. How many fields are there in the entire Beizhili? Before the Qing Dynasty, there were about 81 million acres in the yellow book. After the Qing Dynasty, there were about 81 million acres.
Coincidentally, about five million acres were added, making it 86 million acres. This means that even for the entire Northern Zhili, one of every seventeen acres is an imperial village, and
If we only look at the area around Gyeonggi, the ratio is probably that for every five or six acres of land, one acre is an imperial village."
