It was actually quite embarrassing to encounter something like this.
After all, everyone is a face-conscious person.
The so-called seeing through is not telling.
But we can see it so clearly and things have turned out like this, which makes everyone feel uncomfortable even if they say it or not.
After everyone dispersed, even the waiter wisely took the money and went to the kitchen.
Zhang Anshi looked at Zhu Di awkwardly and said, "Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Zhu Di glared at Zhang Anshi with a sullen face: "Do I still need to report to you whether I am coming or not?"
This is a typical phenomenon of people getting angry after breaking the defense. What else could Zhang Anshi say but said: "Yes, yes, yes, your majesty is right."
Zhu Di's expression finally softened a little, and he said: "Your place... is not bad."
Zhang Anshi said: "I am very ashamed. I have been ordered to guard this place. I work hard every day and worry about this ferry. I am afraid that I will fail your majesty's trust."
Zhu Di nodded and said: "What happened to the explosion just now? What did you explode again?"
This suddenly touched Zhang Anshi's sore spot, and Zhang Anshi said with aggrieved expression: "This...it's really hard to explain. Didn't I blow up half of the Shen Family Village back then? I was thinking that such a big house could not be repaired, so I
I had no choice but to endure the pain and have someone blow up the other side. I watched my house turn to ashes with my own eyes. I felt very uncomfortable and found it hard to let go..."
Zhu Di smiled, he finally felt better.
"It's nothing. Men, you need to be more generous. Besides, don't you earn a lot of money? Build a small uncle's house. I will come and take a look at it."
Wenyuan Pavilion immediately said: "Your Majesty, I plan to build a mansion."
Zhu Di asked strangely: "Huh?"
Wenyuange said: "I want to build a school, mainly because I deeply feel that many people want to study, but they are looking for famous teachers."
After a pause, I continued: "Besides, Sage Kong entrusted you with a dream. After much thought, I must be worthy of my old man."
Zhu Di's face twitched and he was about to curse.
However, Wenyuange raised his voice and said: "If a book is to be sold, it must be ineffective. If there are no role models, who will buy the book? Your Majesty, if you want to sell well, you must set up a school."
ah!"
"Really?" Zhu Di showed a meaningful expression.
Shi Qiangya took advantage of the cold to hit the iron road: "Actually, I am also determined. I am too worried about running a school. I have to take care of all aspects. It would have been fine if I was still studying at the Imperial College. I only need to teach people courses."
, It’s a pity that... I am hated by others, alas... It’s really hard to describe in words.”
What I said is very embarrassing, but there are two messages out there, one is that you can make money, the other is that you will be miserable!
Shi Qiangya did not make any mistakes at the beginning, but because she was besieged by hundreds of officials, she resigned as a doctor.
If the latter is an inducement, then the former is enough to win Zhu Di's sympathy.
Zhu Di sighed and said: "It's good that he has no intention of retreating. What I get from him is his vigor, which is very good! By the way, Wenyuan Pavilion, he will give me some silver coins."
There are seven chapters in Wenyuan Pavilion. He hurriedly took out the money and presented it with both hands.
Zhu Di got the money, but handed it to Yi Shiha: "Go and open some rooms."
Yi Shiha was stunned at first, then nodded quickly and hurried away.
On the other hand, Wenyuan Pavilion was a little surprised and said, "What do you mean by that, Your Majesty? The outside is very crude. Do you still want to live there? What's more... the guards here are afraid..."
Zhu Di smiled and said: "I will wait outside for a day."
Wenyuan Pavilion thought for a while and found the answer: "Wait...wait for what?"
Zhu Di said: "Sit back and wait for the rabbit to fall into the trap."
When Zhu Di said that, he smiled, showed a very serious look, and even ended his words in a formal manner.
We have known each other for so many days, and Mr. Wenyuange can probably figure out some of my temper, especially if a rough guy suddenly speaks dirty words, nothing will happen.
Shi Qiangya was consciously worried. Is it possible? Is it possible? Could it be that you eight brothers have committed another crime?
Zhu Di, however, calmed down and said again: "Let Da Qi have some tea."
In a short time, Da Qi poured tea. Da Qi said with an apologetic look: "That's the big one, damn it, the big one..."
Zhu Di shook his head and said stingily: "It's his business. You still understand the principle of paying for food. It's just that you have money, and it is indeed your fault."
Shi Qiangya felt more and more relieved. I found that Zhu Di became more polite at the end. He no longer had this cold and unrestrained temperament. Even when I picked up the tea cup, there was a sense of elegance.
.
Speaking of which, Zhu Di was originally born as a prince, and I was born in Yingtian. At this time, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang had already occupied the city of Nanjing. It can be said that the environment in which Zhu Di grew up was absolutely superior to anyone in the world.
Logically speaking, these more elegant manners and conversation should have been cultivated by Zhu Di since he was a child. They are just outside of my bones, but I seem to disdain the so-called elegance. Hidden deep in my heart, it seems that I have never
The wild nature passed down from the bloodline of Emperor Taizu and Low.
But now, that wildness has been deliberately restrained, which makes Shi Qiangya feel more and more An.
Da Qi didn't think so little. She only knew that the person behind her eyes was a noble person. That meant that even Uncle Zhang was very cautious about me!
Then Da Qi said: "In the end, adults have no eyes and no eyes..."
Zhu Di suddenly said: "That's all, I must say less."
Zhang Anshi sat aside and said to Da Qi with a smile: "He can just go about his business."
It was only then that I stopped worrying.
Zhang Anshi was sizing up Wenyuan Pavilion at this time. In fact, I have always been somewhat curious about Wenyuan Pavilion. Of course, Zhang Anshi was quite sensitive to Wenyuan Pavilion's identity. After all, he was the prince's wife's younger brother.
Shi Qiangya occasionally took care of Zhu Di's family affairs. Even if Zhu Di asked several times who could be the prince, Zhang Anshi would definitely have no preference for any of Zhu Di's sons.
I will always have only one answer: Your Majesty has no holy judgment.
That's because I was overly cautious, but Zhang Anshi was very vague, and Zhu Di didn't have the foresight to choose his successor. Whether I said it or not, it would definitely change the outcome, and if I said it... it might leave something to be said.
At that time, I said to Wenyuan Pavilion: "I heard that he dreamed of Saint Kong?"
Wenyuange blinked and said, "I vaguely dreamed about it, and when I woke up, I remembered a lot of things clearly."
Zhang Anshi said: "Have you ever dreamed of Tathagata Buddha?"
When Wenyuange heard those words, he felt that they were not a bit harsh. Was he here to cause trouble?
Wenyuan Pavilion said: "You are a scholar and a local person. You don't think about the Buddha on weekdays. I think the Buddha will come to look for you when he is dreaming."
Zhang Anshi said with emotion: "The poor monk has been cultivating Buddhism for decades, and so far he has seen the Buddha appear. Uncle Cheng'en was only ten years old, and he had a dream from Confucius, which is really enviable."
Wenyuan Pavilion is determined to deal with me, that guy is full of weird things.
Zhu Di actually lived here that day.
The accommodation conditions in that inn were actually not good. After all, there was only a big ferry outside, and there were not many small merchants or officials from the capital. I would rather walk a few steps to live in an inn in Nanjing city.
In the early morning of the next day, the voices of people could be heard again, and the snow became lighter. Small goose-feather-like snowflakes fell down, covering the ground. The inn was already covered in silver.
At this time, Yi Shiha hurriedly retreated into Zhu Di's bedroom and served Zhu Di to change his clothes.
Zhu Di said: "It seemed quiet upstairs just now. Why?"
"There are many diners here, except here...except here..."
Zhu Di calmly said: "What's the matter?"
"But some local people came to hear... to hear..."
Zhu Di was so quiet today that he actually cursed, and his voice was still fierce: "As long as there is something wrong with his words, no matter what he says, I will forgive him for his guilt."
Yishihana then said bravely: "We said that we heard that Uncle Cheng'en's brother was here, so he showed some respect and sent some food."
Zhu Di's face suddenly twitched, and he almost couldn't hold back the urge to curse. Finally, he took a deep breath and said: "Oh, I know."
When Yishiha combed Zhu Di's hair, Zhu Di said, "Why don't you go up and have a look."
Having said that, Zhu Di took Yishiha upstairs. There were not many diners upstairs, and there were not many people on the other side who had been placed by the shop owner near the front kitchen. Those people were all
Short attire.
Seeing Zhu Di coming up, Da Qi pointed at us, and those people got off one after another to greet us.
Zhu Di looked at us with an expression on his face. He saw that no one was carrying eggs, no one was carrying chickens, and no one even drove a sheep.
The sheep looked a little anxious and peaceful, as if they had a premonition of good fortune, and kept bleating.
The leader looked like an old man. My face glowed brightly. I bowed again and said, "I knew our benefactor was coming last night. Just think about it when you wait. The benefactor and my uncle have no kindness for us anymore. The elders have sent us some things."
, I hope my benefactor is dissatisfied. My surname is Song, and my single name is Lian..."
Zhu Di looked at it and saw the sincere expressions of all the people, and he just smiled warmly in his heart.
Huh, this Wenyuan Pavilion is really a thief, and they actually sent someone to play me.
Do you really think you're flattering me like that? I think you're wearing it?
Thinking like that, Zhu Di had a good look on his face and said warmly: "What kind of friendship do you have with this Shi Qiangya? They will get the wrong idea. If you stay here temporarily, you will come to disturb me."
, take your things and walk slowly."
Zhu Di is such a stupid person. Once he guesses the other party's intentions, there is no shame in talking to him.
Song Lian and the people who came with him looked at each other in confusion.
Made a mistake?
Why did Song Shiba say he had no nose or eyes after that?
It seems that there may be a mistake, Song Shiba is such a fool.
So Song Lian changed his face in an instant, leaning on his crutches and said: "So, that's the case, then we worshiped in the wrong temple. It's just that he is a man who knows things, and I am an old man after all. You are so nice to me."
When he spoke, he responded like that, "Come, come, come, let's go," because he was arguing with that man. Uncle Cheng En said that peace brings wealth."
After saying that, everyone actually dispersed in a hurry, but this sheep was still willing to walk away. It was dragged as if it was going to the execution ground, but it stopped every time.
After hearing this, Zhu Di was slightly stunned. When the other party rolled his eyes, Zhu Di knew that it might have been arranged by Wenyuan Pavilion. If the other party really knew my identity, how could anyone dare to talk to me like that?
We...are we really doing this spontaneously?
Zhu Di held his head high and was deep in thought.
On the other hand, Yi Shiha stood aside and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty..."
Zhu Di was in a trance and came back to his senses: "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, it's time for breakfast."
"knew."
This Daqi specially found a very quiet place for Zhu Di. Zhu Di sat down and drank tea without any company.
"When will Your Majesty plan to show off?" Yi Shiha's voice was serious.
Zhu Di said calmly: "It's a matter of delay. Things in those days must have no results."
After saying that, Zhu Di raised his head and glanced at Zhang Anshi sitting opposite.
Zhang Anshi sighed: "Amitabha, Amitabha..."
Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, "What kind of sutra are you reciting, monk?"
Shi Qiangya said: "Monks are compassionate and recite the Sutra of Transcendence for others."
…………
Outside Zhou Kangdao.
A scholar was hurriedly retreating into the common room of the young scholars.
Kangdao in Zhou Dynasty has now become the center of Xiaoming. However, Kangdao in Zhou Dynasty is very narrow, and there are not many young scholars outside, and there are not more than a dozen people working there. Even on weekdays, ministers from various ministries, ministers, and academicians from the Hanlin Academy will come.
Therefore, the eight young bachelors could only huddle in a public house.
"Jie Gong, Hu Gong, Yang Gong." The person who came in a hurry saluted.
Zhou Kang raised his head and said, "Your Majesty hasn't summoned you yet?"
"Inquiry, Your Majesty... was not in the palace last night." Sheren replied respectfully.
Zhou Kang was slightly startled and frowned deeply. This was definitely something beyond his capabilities.
Although the current Emperor is so heroic and often goes out of the palace, my family should also see him.
But it was rare for someone to return to the palace overnight.
Then Yao Guangxiao asked: "Do you know where it is?"
"After asking, the Holy Driver is at Qixia Ferry. The people of Jin Yiwei have heard the news, and the Tiqi have already set off..."
After Zhou Kang heard this, his eyes flickered. I looked at Hu Guang and Yao Guang and said, "Qi Gong, what are you going to do at Qixia Ferry?"
Yao Guang smiled bitterly: "Your Majesty is a wise man, so he has no deep meaning."
Shi Qiang pondered for a moment and then said: "It should be because of Wenyuan Pavilion."
Zhou Kang's face looked even better.
As soon as I finished, I hated Wenyuan Pavilion. In other words, as a scholar, I have always been disgusted with Li Qi and Xun Chen. They are a group of rough people. Throughout the dynasties, whenever the emperor trusted Xun Chen, Li Qi or eunuchs, they were
The dark age of the scholars.
For Zhou Kang, that was a lesson from history.
What's more, deep in Zhou Kang's heart, there is no secret but public concern.
In fact, Zhou Kang has already figured it out in the Prince's Palace. As a die-hard princeling, Zhou Kang is almost universally known as the Crown Prince's right-hand man.
My plan can at most ensure that I will be the most popular official in the two dynasties. When the prince ascends the throne in the future, I will be above one person and below tens of thousands of people.
Because of this, I find Wenyuan Pavilion to be so arrogant and disgusting. The stricter the prince is to his brother-in-law, the more restrained Zhou Kang becomes both mentally and externally.
Shi Qiangya: "This time... is indeed too strange, but... Your Majesty is returning to the palace today, so how should we deal with minor national affairs?"
Hu Guang and Yao Guang felt that Zhou Kang had nothing to say, so they asked, "What do you think Mr. Xie said?"
Zhou Kanghao said resolutely: "You can go and greet him later."
I sighed: "With Your Majesty here, it is inevitable that the government and the public will be suspicious, not to mention that if the Holy Emperor is here, no one will take the opportunity to disturb the people."
Hu Guang and Yao Guang thought for a while, but they also felt that it was unreasonable, so they nodded to each other and prepared to leave immediately.
Since there was no decision, the group sat in sedan chairs and headed all the way to Qixia Ferry.
Shi Qiang insisted on taking the land route instead of choosing the water route, which was actually selfless.
Although the water route is slow, it does not give your Majesty the time that can be predicted, and it seems hasty. If the land route is taken quickly, neither side is prepared, and if there is no news along the way, they can retreat at any time to deliver it.
When I saw Qixia Ferry in the distance, I saw a crowded group of people stopping far away from Qixia Ferry.
As soon as they saw Zhou Kang and his entourage coming, no one left behind them, and they shouted: "Yang Rong, the magistrate of Yuan County in Shangguan County, has met all the princes."
Hearing that he was the magistrate of Xiayuan County, Zhou Kang didn't pay much attention. The difference in status between them was so small that even the magistrate of Jing County seemed inconspicuous in front of Zhou Kang.
At this time, Shi Qiang was still indifferent to the situation outside. After all, he got on the sedan chair, only to see a dignified-looking man wearing a winged hat surrounded by officials and gentry. At this time, he looked towards me again.
Say goodbye and salute.
Shi Qiang clasped his hands behind his back, looking calm and calm: "What are you doing here?"
Yang Rong said respectfully: "Shangguan heard that the Holy Emperor was coming to Qixia, so he led his assistant officers and local gentry and people to welcome him here, and also prepared some offerings..."
Zhou Kang sighed and said: "How can that disturb the people again? The emperor has always been on tour, and there are offerings along the way..."
I shook my head, but did not continue to talk further.
Obviously, people like Yang Rong understood what Jiegong meant. As scholars, in addition to Confucian values, scholars believed that it was very appropriate for the emperor to enter and leave the palace rashly.
Historically, these foolish kings and tyrants loved to go on tours. A wise monarch should stay in the deep palace, take care of the minor affairs of the country every day, select capable ministers, and patrol the seven directions on behalf of the emperor.
Of course, those words could be said by a scholar leader like Zhou Kang, Shi Qiangya, a young scholar, but I, Yang Rong, am not qualified, so Shi Qiang remained silent at this time.
Zhou Kangze asked again: "Since I am going to meet you, why are you here again?"
Shi Qiang said: "The distance behind is the scope of Qixia. Now Xiayuan County, governed by Shangguan, is related to Qixia."
Zhou Kang immediately understood what Yang Rong meant. Local officials were strictly prohibited from crossing the border. It seemed very appropriate for him to take the county officials and gentry with him to the things that happened in other places.
The safest way is to wait outside the county boundary and wait here to greet the emperor when he returns to the palace, show his face behind the emperor and create a good impression.
Shi Qiang said: "Logically, Qixia Ferry is also the county border of Xiayuan County. Your Majesty is so close, how can you hesitate to come back?"
After hearing this, Yang Rong bowed politely and said: "It's Shangguan who is awake."
Shi Qiang asked again: "Is Your Majesty's decision confirmed?"
Yang Rong said: "I have ordered people to spy on him. He is at an inn in this market."
After Zhou Kang heard this, he nodded and said: "That's very good. You can follow your lead and serve me."
After saying that, I turned back to look at the bearer: "The holy driver is right behind me. You can walk on foot to avoid being rude."
Everyone obeyed, and Yao Guang and Shi Qiang also got on the sedan chair and walked.
So Zhou Kang took the lead, with Yao Guang and Hu Guang walking side by side on the right and left, and Shi Qiang walking in front, so the others were further away. As Zhou Kang paced, he thought of something: "There was nothing in those two days."
normal?"
"Yesterday, some gangsters killed a kind-hearted gentleman in the county. His death was extremely tragic and brutal."
Zhou Kang frowned: "Xiayuan County is at the feet of the emperor, but there is nothing like that?"
So Yang Rong hurriedly said: "It was Shangguan's mistake. Please forgive me..."
But Zhou Kang interrupted me here and said: "I heard that Wenyuan Pavilion is outside the ferry, doing whatever you want?"
Yang Rong looked very helpless and said: "Hey... Shangguan is hard to explain."
Everything was in the words, and Zhou Kang seemed to understand it in his heart.
In those days, there were many memorials to impeach Wenyuan Pavilion. Zhou Kang did not deliberately put those memorials up, but deliberately placed them below other memorials.
When the group of people retreated into the market, the monks and common people outside were alarmed, and the police officers from Xiayuan County went first to clear the way.
Immediately, there was a person in the empty road and it was full of mud. Shi Qiang and others walked into the inn and bowed to him. Zhou Kang was the first to say: "Your Majesty, Zhou Kangte, is here to escort you and send you my regards."
Everyone in the front was singing.
There was such a small noise, but Zhu Di was still drinking tea calmly outside the inn.
I crossed my legs, as if I recognized my eight relatives.
Da Qi was so frightened that her legs went weak, and then she crawled back to the front kitchen.
Zhang Anshi seems to be able to enter concentration, and every fiber is moving.
Wenyuange was talking to Zhu Di with great care, but when he heard the movement, Wenyuange stopped talking.
Yi Shiha looked at Zhu Di's face carefully.
Zhu Di showed his face, as if turning a deaf ear to this, and continued to say to Wenyuan Pavilion: "He continued to talk about how to distribute the seventh edition of the provincial examinations in the coming year?"
Shi Qiangya hurriedly said: "In those days, the complicated minister was cleaning up the booksellers in each province, and planned to find agents in each province. If the agents in each province want to ask for books from us, they must abide by your regulations, and they must
Let us prepare a generous deposit."
"Deposit?" Zhu Di looked at Shi Qiangya in surprise, obviously he had thought of it before.
"Of course. If we have a small amount of money pledged here, and if we do something that complies with the regulations, how will we be punished? We need to sell goods in advance of the time when the goods can actually be sold, and we must ensure that we are in the hospital.
Ten days and a half after the test, in that case... it will ensure that no one will copy and resell the four-part written talk. Xiaojia has reached the most critical moment. Of course, the first time, I hope to get the four-part written talk and immediately end and join the review.
Time is tight, and one day delayed is one more day."
Zhu Di nodded: "That's the truth."
Shi Qiangya added: "But shipping requires transportation, and the time must be grasped. In some remote places, it may be necessary to escort the books two or eight months in advance, but once it is advanced... I am afraid that there will be no
In order to prevent private tearing, there must be no agent. The agent must pledge a small amount of money, and all the books must be sealed in packages, and must be sealed with paint to ensure that someone will tear them apart. The state capitals in the sky must be sure that the books will be opened on the same day.
On sale!”
"If I find that an agent in any province dares to open the door privately, or is lax in guarding and delays getting the book, once I find out, I will immediately collect all the deposits. That's all, and I have to agree on another way to do it.
.In short, it is to teach me to lose everything and make me pay for my losses, so that those people can become trusted partners in the future."
Zhu Di said: "Are we willing to make this agreement and accept those harsh conditions?"
Wenyuange said with a smile: "Your Majesty knows everything. That book is extremely expensive and is very popular. It is a hugely profitable business. Which bookseller can get that agency right will be worth a fortune."
, but at most you can guarantee that you will have food and clothing while you are lying down. Who would be willing to do such an easy business?"
Zhu Di listened and nodded: "It doesn't make sense."
Shi Qiangya then added: "Without an agent, it is equivalent to controlling the channels of all states and governments in the sky."
"Channel?" Zhu Di answered, which is obviously a new word to me.
"That's just like if the imperial court wants to govern the sky, it needs to set up government offices in various provinces and prefectures in the sky. The same principle applies to book sales. Booksellers who have an agent will definitely be able to do small-scale business in the local area by relying on that agency.
, our bookstores in various states and counties in the province must also have a very slow business, which is equivalent to opening up distribution channels!"
"In this way, if you sold other people's books in the past, you can also use those channels to underwrite them."
Zhu Di suddenly realized something and said in surprise: "It means... besides the four pieces of writing, he also wants to do other business with me?"
Shi Qiangya said: "I don't have that idea. To do something like this, I need Your Majesty's permission."
Zhu Di said without thinking: "Let's discuss this later."
…………
Inside the inn.
Zhou Kang and others were kneeling in the dense white snow, with snowflakes hitting our bodies. We were shivering from the heat and our faces were turning purple from the cold.
Zhou Kang only felt that his knees were sore, and it was only because of the traffic in the inn. At this time, I saw some movement outside, and I was surprised.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Kang said again: "I, Shi Qiang, respectfully send my regards to the Holy Spirit."
But there was still no reply.
Zhou Kang became more and more alarmed. In the past, I felt that I was unsure about the palace and the court. After all, even though I was still young, I had some idea of the emperor's temper.
But today... is an anomaly.
At this time, Zhu Di was frowning, seeming to be thinking about Shi Qiangya's channel problem, and turned a deaf ear to what was going on inside.
I glanced sideways at Zhang Anshi and saw that Zhang Anshi was still in meditation, so I said, "Monk Yao, how does he feel about it?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Amitabha, the poor monk only practices Buddhism and asks about things in the world."
Zhu Di said: "I originally wanted to give him some sesame oil money outside the temple."
Shi Qiangya said: "If Your Majesty gives alms, it will be a small merit. Amitabha, that's good, that's good."
Zhu Di said: "What a good person, what a good person."
I seemed to have finally calmed down, and suddenly said: "Back off and talk!"
The voice shook the rubble, so it was meant for Zhou Kang and others inside.
After Zhou Kang and others heard this, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Immediately, Zhou Kang, Yao Guang, and Hu Guang retreated and saluted: "I have seen your Majesty."
Zhu Di stared at us and said calmly: "You are in Kangdao, Zhou Dynasty. Why are you here?"
Yao Guangxiao: "I heard that Your Majesty is here..."
Zhu Di interrupted me: "Wherever the Holy Master is, are they going to go there too?"
Yao Guangxiao: "The king and his ministers are one and the same, and ministers should serve your majesty as such."
Zhu Di closed his eyes slightly and turned around and said: "The magistrate of Xiayuan County...do you know this person?"
Yao Guangxiao: "Yang Rong, the magistrate of Xiayuan County, is waiting for you at the inn."
Zhu Di said: "I heard him say that my official reputation is excellent?"
At this moment, Shi Qiang seemed to hear a hint of agreement: "This is what the officials said."
Zhu Di said: "I asked him what impression he had of me?"
Zhou Kang pondered for a moment and said: "This person has never made any mistakes since he took office. The governance of Jingxian County is particularly difficult. I thought... I should not have my own strengths."
Zhu Di said: "Since I am inside, ask me to step back and talk."
Yi Shiha was listening and went out very slowly. Shi Qiang followed Yi Shiha back with excitement.
After all, Yang Rong is just a county magistrate. If it were today, he might have the chance to meet the Holy Spirit in his lifetime, so he seemed very excited. He just felt that as long as he performed well today, he might not have any hope of success in the future.
So he bowed down, prostrated on the ground, and arched his hips low: "I have seen your Majesty, Yang Rong."
"look up."
Yang Rong had to raise his head, and his eyes met Zhu Di's.
Perhaps Zhu Di's gaze was too sharp, which made it difficult for me to dodge my gaze.
Zhu Di said: "I heard that his official reputation is very good?"
Yang Rong was immediately overjoyed and choked up and said: "Chen... Chen... was favored by the imperial court and was appointed to an official position to govern the people. I am arrogant and read poetry and books. I know that my talent is limited and my knowledge is shallow, but I also know the little principles of sages.
Therefore, in this position, I work conscientiously and walk on thin ice, and I dare to let down the grace of God. I have no choice but to work hard and make up for my shortcomings with diligence."
Shi Qiang felt that his response was quite appropriate. If he were too modest, it would give the impression that his name was not real.
But if he accepts the emperor's praise, he will not be too proud.
Zhu Di looked at me with a strange look, and then said: "He must be humble. Who in the government and the public knows that he loves the people like his own son."
Yang Rong felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He loved the people like his own children, which was the lowest praise from local parents!
I said in a trembling voice: "I...I am ashamed."
Zhu Di said: "He must be ashamed. I came to ask him, this Xiaohan year, the imperial court allocated firewood and money and grain to relieve the poor people in Xiayuan County. How is the allocation now?"
Shi Qiang immediately said: "Everything has been distributed. A total of 474 loads of firewood and 1,800 kilograms of rice have been distributed."
Zhu Di asked again: "So...how is the river embankment repaired this year?"
Yang Rong immediately said: "Songjiang and Suzhou are flooded this year. I am deeply afraid of the damage caused by floods. This year, I have imposed additional corvees and repaired eight river embankments."
Zhu Di said: "I have read the memorial. This year, a thousand young men were recruited. However, the young men are working hard. Has the imperial court provided us with food and accommodation?"
Shi Qiang said: "I am also well aware of the suffering of the people, and I value this very much. The strong men who have no money are given one tael of rice a day and a piece of warm clothing."
Zhu Di sighed with emotion: "If that is true, then the people of Xiayuan County will be unlucky."
Yang Rongdao: "This is all a great blessing from Your Majesty."
