Factory owner is king

Chapter 48
Over the past 5000 years in China, there have been countless famous poems and lines that have been popular throughout the dynasties, either because of the gorgeousness and beauty of their rhetoric, or because of the political needs of the time, or even because of the author's own identity and fame, etc.But there are not many that can really be passed down through the ages. They all have one characteristic, that is, they touch people's hearts and resonate with the listeners.

"Prosperity, the people suffer, death, the people suffer!"

Zhang Yanghao's "Shoutong Caring for Guzhen" can be said to have gone through the vicissitudes of the world.

"Heizi, Heizi," Xu Ruyi sat on the black donkey's back and gently stroked its mane, "I really hope you can walk more slowly..."

The black donkey couldn't understand the master's words on his back, and continued to walk leisurely.

Xu Ruyi probably knew something about the black donkey under her crotch, and also had some guesses.

Since buying this donkey, Xu Ruyi felt that she should have picked up a treasure.Although this ram is lazy on weekdays, every time he is full of wine, he will really run all the way.Although it is not enough to travel thousands of miles a day, but within a certain distance, the speed is really not weaker than that of an ordinary steed, and it is also very stable. Xu Ruyi, who is sitting on its back, never feels bumpy.

Xu Ruyi didn't have the ability to match horses and donkeys, but in his previous life, he had heard people mention a special kind of donkey in a cross talk.

Dragons are sexually promiscuous and often mate with other races. If a centipede is polluted, the offspring will be called a flying dragon; if a horse is polluted, the offspring will be called a dragon horse; among them, if a donkey is polluted, the offspring will be called a dragon. special.It is said that the mount of Emperor Wenchang is special.

People often say that a thousand li walks alone, which refers to this kind of donkey.

Xu Ruyi had experienced its speed, but he would rather it go slower.

Half a month ago, Dilong, the prefectural capital of Xuzhou in the south of central Sichuan, turned over and affected 16 villages and counties under its rule. (According to the division of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, the whole country is divided into two capitals and 13 provinces. Among them, the Chief Secretary of Sichuan, which is equivalent to today’s Sichuan Province, has jurisdiction over nine prefectures and one prefecture. Both Xuzhou and CD are under its jurisdiction.)
In ancient times, communication and transportation were not well developed, and the most important thing was that the division of responsibilities of officials was too complicated and simple.

To put it simply, the Yamen of Sichuan's chief envoy can basically directly govern all the personnel and government affairs under his rule. If the situation is turned around, the officials of the Yamen only need to investigate and understand the matter and report it to the court.

To put it more complicated, it is because although the chief minister has the largest official position in Sichuan in name, he cannot control the army or the vassal king (Zhu Chun, the king of Shu, was in the CD mansion of the vassal in Hongwu 23 years), so If you want to investigate the losses and casualties caused by Dilong's turning over, you can only rely on the scholars and civil officials under him, as well as the head of the yamen servants and so on.

How can we quickly check things out and report them if we are pushing the blame on each other and are inefficient?
For these people who are really doing things, the earth dragon can't turn over their heads, and the speed of the investigation will not affect their future. Even if the superiors want to get angry, they can't do anything about it. After all, the law does not punish the public.

But the people affected by the disaster below have suffered.

"Oh..." Xu Ruyi sighed, closed her eyes helplessly, and shook her head.

Although there is still some distance from the Chief Secretary of Sichuan, disaster victims have begun to appear in towns and cities along the official roads one after another.

Disaster victims are somewhat different from beggars in the general sense. The biggest difference lies in their eyes. The eyes of beggars are a habit. When they ask for money, their smiles are not false, and their cries are not true when they are hungry.As for these fleeing victims, there was doubt, confusion, and longing in their eyes.

Just by looking into their eyes, you seem to be able to understand the confusion in their hearts: "Why me?" "Where am I going?" "What will happen to me?"

Natural disasters are different from man-made disasters. When a man-made disaster occurs, you can have an object to vent and hate.For example, if you are robbed by a robber, you can scold the robber, and you can go all out.But when natural disasters happen, you can only blame yourself for being unlucky.

People in ancient times had no guarantee in life. Once they got old, they could only rely on the wealth they saved when they were young.But for these farmers who farm for food, how much money can they save?That's why there is a saying of raising children to protect the old. As long as you keep the land, even if you are old and can't cultivate it, there will always be your son to inherit your meager property and continue the life of digging in the soil. .

However, an earthquake caused the earth to sink and the sky to collapse.The victims may not care about the lost houses, or even have time to grieve for the lost relatives, what they care about is the land.The victims of the disaster in the Syrian state capital were still glad that they had not started planting spring when the earthquake happened, but the ensuing floods were like a blow to the head, completely destroying their hopes.This time, the earth dragon turned over and caused the Jinsha River and Minjiang River that flowed through the local area to burst one after another. None of the 16 counties were spared. Thousands of miles of fertile land were destroyed, and they had no choice but to embark on a journey of escape.

Xu Ruyi sat on the donkey's back, looking back at the direction of Nanjing: "I hope the imperial court can take some measures in time."

When
Chengtian Temple

Today's morning is not over yet.

The turbulent noise filled the resplendent palace, making the originally solemn court hall look like a vegetable market.

"Your Majesty, the earth dragon's turnaround is actually a warning from heaven to His Majesty. Your Majesty should issue an edict to appease the people of the world." Under the imperial steps, the Eastern Palace attendant looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with tears in his eyes.

"Wang Peng, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, seconded the proposal"

"Your Majesty, the earth dragon has turned over. This is an ominous sign. It will be a warning to your majesty from heaven. I hope your majesty will reflect on himself!" Qitai also stepped out of the crowd, unwilling to be left behind.

"Your Majesty, since the Han Dynasty, it is the most reasonable thing in the world to prove that there are many interactions between heaven and man. If your Majesty does not accept his minister's words, the heavens will be wrathful and natural disasters will occur frequently, and the country will be in danger!" Jiang Yucheng, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, kowtowed on the ground, His forehead was bruised and purple, showing the severity of the force.

"Your Majesty, minister..." This is Duan Zhe, the imperial censor.

"Your Majesty..." This is Feng Ying, the Minister of Rites.

"His Majesty...."

. . . . .

Generally speaking, the noise should be divided into three parties.The nobles in the army, headed by Feng Sheng, Lan Yu, Wang Bi, Tang He, etc., kept silent as usual.The two divisions between the military and the government, and the fact that nobles are not allowed to participate in government affairs is the iron rule set by Zhu Yuanzhang. Although it was gradually abolished in later generations, at least in the Hongwu Dynasty, this rule was still firmly implemented.

The other two parties, the supreme Zhu Yuanzhang and the civil servants below, are the protagonists of this din, or to be more precise, at this moment, facing the excitement of the crowd and the civil servants competing to speak, Zhu Yuanzhang just kept silent , but his belt under his belly and his heavy breathing showed the anger in his heart and how much he wanted to raise the butcher's knife, but unfortunately he couldn't, because the civil servants took the lead, not Someone else, but his most beloved grandson, Zhu Yunqi.

About a month ago, in order to allow Zhu Yunwen to be trained earlier, Zhu Yuanzhang specially allowed Zhu Yunwen to go to court and participate in politics together.

"Grandfather, the earth dragon turned over, and the heaven and man sensed it. Maybe it was really a warning from the heavens to my royal family. Maybe..."

Listening to Zhu Yunwen, who was a few steps ahead on the left, talking eloquently, Zhu Yuanzhang was really disappointed.

'Perhaps the little eunuch should be brought back quickly!How can a rotten Confucian be able to sit firmly in this splendid country? '

　Since there are a lot of manuscripts, try to update as much as possible. Besides, Maoer feels that the content of the previous two chapters is insufficient, and I am a little sorry for everyone.

　　Thank you Xiujing for your comments and recommendations (Is it your recommendation, I’m not sure. It seems to be my problem, why can’t I see who voted for the recommendation?)
　　There will be another chapter in a while. PS: By the way, there is more than one problem. I still can’t reply to your comments. After trying several times, it always shows a page error. What the hell?
