I am the king of the dead

If Liu Qi really knelt down, with so many people on the pier, his identity was basically confirmed.

"Busy? Chatting?" Zhu Qiyu explained the purpose of coming.

Liu Qiyi wiped his hands and said, "Not busy, not busy, Brother Chen, I'm asking for a day off today, I'm here... I have something to do."

The strong man called Brother Chen looked at Zhu Qiyu's appearance of Zigong Zizi, took a deep breath and walked over, put a bag of rice on his back to block Zhu Qiyu's sight and said in a low voice: "If you have something to say, what are you talking about?" Shiyong, don’t be afraid of him, at worst, let’s beat Dengwen Drum and let His Majesty decide for us.”

Brother Chen had good intentions, but Xing'an and Lu Zhong, who were standing beside Zhu Qiyu, held back their smiles, knocking on Deng Wengu, and it was obvious that they were also the one in front of them.

Zhu Qiyu didn't speak, walked to the tea stand and ordered four bowls of tea.

It didn't take long for Liu Qi to finally arrive in front of the Daming Emperor, feeling a little restless. The person in front of him was not a seventh-rank participant in politics, but the current emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"Sit, sit, sit, today we are participating in politics and discussing politics, chatting." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Don't be restrained."

Only then did Liu Qi sit down. He heard that the craftsmen of Shijing Factory would meet with His Majesty every seven days, and on the 15th day of each month, someone would announce an order.

It's just to see the emperor, he has seen it several times, so what happened before, your majesty is not a monster, can you still eat him?

Zhu Qiyu signaled Liu Qi to drink tea. He is the emperor and he doesn't eat tea soup outside.

"Do you still have to work during the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Zhu Qiyu asked suspiciously.

Liu Qi hurriedly said: "That's right, this season is the busiest, except for Chinese New Year and Tianming Festival, you have to go to work."

Zhu Qiyu sat forward and asked, "Where is your child? Where is it placed?"

"That baby died, died of illness." Liu Qi's eyes were full of darkness, and the corners of his mouth trembled.

Zhu Qiyu felt like someone was holding his heart and squeezing it hard.

Is that eccentric child with dripping eyes gone like this?For a while, Zhu Qiyu felt a little dizzy, with a lot of thoughts in his heart.

"Didn't you go to Huimin Pharmacy? Still no money?" Zhu Qiyu asked.

Liu Qi shook his head and said, "I've gone, I didn't think much about it, the Huimin Pharmacy only needs a few dollars, I've used all kinds of medicines, children, I'm not resistant to disease."

Zhu Qiyu's heart was full of disappointment, the medicine of Daming had to continue to develop, and the Xie Jie Hospital had to continue to operate.

As for infamy, he just needs to take care of it.

Lu Zicai and the others will not be scolded, only he, the violent emperor, will be scolded.

"My condolences." Zhu Qiyu didn't know how to comfort this tough man.

Liu Qi showed a slight smile and said: "Caomin bought a private house last year, married a wife, and now has a daughter, and I plan to have another one."

Zhu Qiyu felt relieved. Birth, old age, sickness and death are natural things. As the emperor, he can't control the affairs of the underworld.

Now that Liu Qi is married to a daughter-in-law and has a daughter, she plans to have another one, which means Liu Qi is willing to have a child.

Zhu Qiyu asked a lot about the coolies of the poor. As long as they are willing to work hard, they can support their own children in addition to supporting themselves.

Zhu Qiyu's Labor Insurance Bureau is not useless at all.

Although the wind on the Nanya side was strong, the Beiya side was too close to the emperor to be loyal. Coupled with the turmoil of Dengwengu, these firms dared not play Li Daitao's stiff trick.

An emperor who is elusive is enough to cause headaches.

Right now the courtyard walls of Dengwen Drum Courtyard have been demolished, and the East and West Changan Gates are always open.

"That's my wife, here to bring me food." Liu Qi saw a woman and waved her hand vigorously.

The child was on the woman's back, looking straight at Zhu Qiyu with round eyes, and then cried out loudly.

Zhu Qiyu's children's fate has never been very good, and he is used to it.

"Doesn't the firm care about the food?" Zhu Qiyu heard from Liu Qi that the work on the pier was in charge of lunch, but Liu Qi's wife came to deliver the food.

Liu Qi shook her head and said, "No, my wife is afraid that I won't have enough to eat."

Only then did Zhu Qiyu understand, and inadvertently ate a mouthful of dog food.

"This is?" Liu Qi's wife finally coaxed the child.

Liu Qi said vaguely: "The Secretary of General Administration's participation in the administration of state affairs has come here to hear rumors and rumors. I have seen it before, and I will talk about it when I see it."

Liu Qi didn't explain Zhu Qiyu's identity, which is really difficult to explain, saying that the emperor needs to be believed, so he simply reported Zhu Qiyu's identity as an official.

Liu Qi looked at his wife with a simple and honest smile, then turned her head and said to Zhu Qiyu: "I will save money this year, and next year I will buy my own tank boat to carry grain from Tongzhou to Chaoyangmen." , I can make two trips a day, and I can earn seven hundred dollars a day!"

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said: "Don't spend all your money on the tank boat, because something will happen at home and you won't be able to get the money out."

Zhu Qiyu subconsciously expected the enemy to be lenient, and persuaded Liu Qi.

Life is the greatest enemy of the people.

"Master Guan also said the same thing. Be more careful, and you won't listen to what I tell you. You should listen to what Master Guan said!" Liu Qi's wife hurriedly said as soon as she heard it.

Liu Qi shook his head and said proudly: "I have saved enough money now, even if something happens, we will still have money."

Zhu Qiyu showed a smile, the people's ability to resist risks is very weak, since Liu Qi has this awareness, there is no need for Zhu Qiyu to play the piano randomly.

Liu Qi had a good life, it was the child he brought from Shaanxi, which made Zhu Qiyu quite a pity.

"The one you mentioned last time, the matter of the civilian service discounting money, we reported it, and we got a reply later." Zhu Qiyu talked about Liu Qi's suggestion last time. Liu Qi wanted to learn a craft, because the sentry was delayed.

Liu Qi looked at Zhu Qiyu, with hope in his eyes, hard work for northerners, this is a very real problem, not to say that the work is too tiring, it is too late.

Zhu Qiyu thought for a while and said: "The higher-ups can't say it, but it has been calculated inwardly, and it will take at least five years before it can be done."

"Da Ming doesn't have that much money in the market right now. The labor is converted into money, and the money goes back to the court, so there is no money for the public."

"It's not a matter of how much the discount is, it's such a discount, and it's easy for some officials to take advantage of the opportunity and take advantage of loopholes."

Zhu Qiyu really asked Ji Xing to figure it out, mainly because the amount of Jingtai Tongbao was still too small, at least five years later, when Daming's money shortage eased.

Liu Qi and Liu Qi's wife looked at each other, they didn't expect to wait for Hui Yin'er at all.

"I don't understand these things, I'm just talking nonsense." Liu Qi hurriedly waved his hand and said.

Xing'an leaned close to Zhu Qiyu's ear and whispered a few times.

Zhu Qiyu stood up and said: "You guys have dinner, we have something to do, so let's go around."

Liu Qi hurriedly stood up, pulled his wife up again, nodded and said, "Ei (ei)."

Hu Wei came to Chaoyang Gate and met His Majesty.

Chapter 516 is taken out of context, Xiao Daoer

Zhu Qiyu and Hu Wei strolled on the street outside Daming Chaoyangmen. Due to some taboo reasons, Zhu Qiyu didn't go to the river, but just watched the long row of flagpoles on the Tonghui River from a distance.

Almost all the flagpoles became bare. Although the magistrates of Tongzhou and the officials of Shuntian Prefecture tried their best, in the end, there was no way to preserve the black corpses, which had been exposed to the wind and sun for so long. Now only the rope.

But no one dared to say that the flagpole is useless, please withdraw it, Your Majesty.

Didn't that tell His Majesty to hang himself up?

Those flagpoles were pointing upright at the sky like that, it was Zhu Qiyu's edict to supervise the country before he ascended the throne.

"Isn't it late to talk to Nikolaoz today? Why did you come here to find us?" Zhu Qiyu walked a few more steps and sat down on a stone bench in front of an octagonal pavilion, which is a hall of heroes.

There is a swing outside the Hall of Martyrs. There are flowers, fruits and sacrifices in the Hall of Martyrs.

Hu Wei described his discussion with Nicolaus in great detail, and he expressed sympathy for the demise of the Eastern and Western Roman Empires.

Rome has come to an end.

The Holy Roman Empire further west has little to do with Rome.

"Using history as a mirror, we can know the ups and downs." Hu Wei concluded: "One ethnic group, after clearly knowing another ethnic group, has just dealt with a disaster that destroys the country, how to adjust its own response measures to ensure that the interests of the group are not affected. damage?"

"Is there something wrong with this response?"

"If there is a mistake, is the group aware of it?"

"This is one of the important links in the Great Ming Dynasty's great speculation."

It was completely unexpected for Zhu Qiyu to discuss Ming's population policy regardless of differences such as race, political system, and culture.

Unexpectedly, Hu Yan would put aside the facts one day.

Zhu Qiyu frowned and said: "As far as I know, the Ming Dynasty, or the Central Plains Dynasty, has never been troubled by this kind of population self-decline."

"In fact, whether it was the chaos at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty or the ups and downs after the fall of the Song Dynasty, there was no time for such self-destruction."

Hu Wei was silent for a long time, and then said: "Your Majesty, in fact there are."

"That's how the Yongjia Rebellion happened. Like Eastern and Western Rome, the Central Plains Dynasty almost died at the hands of the barbarians."

The Yongjia Rebellion is the Wuhuluanhua in various articles of later generations. In fact, until the Republic of China, the code names given to the Wuhuluanhua by history were the Yongjia Rebellion, or the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, or the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Five Hus.

In the Republic of China, the Puppet Manchukuo was established. In order to create centrifugal force, the Japanese invaders invented the term, and then intended to dismember China's centripetal force.

I probably have the idea that the Wuhu, Hu Yuan, and Taqing are in chaos, so why can't the Japanese invaders be in chaos.

"Your Majesty thinks when should the division of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties be counted?" Hu Wei asked a strange question.

Zhu Qiyu thought about it seriously and said: "It should be counted from the Yellow Turban Army at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, not the end of the Western Jin Dynasty, when the three horses were in the same position, and the Sima family did not defend the country when it replaced Cao."

"The capture of Emperor Huai and Emperor Min of the Western Jin Dynasty during the Yongjia period was just part of the absurdity of the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties."

Hu Yi bowed his head and said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise, what does Your Majesty think is the reason for the division of the Three Kingdoms at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty?"

Zhu Qiyu looked at the path with frequent fallen leaves and thought for a while and said: "I think that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the population was increasing day by day, the gentry continued to grow, the powerful and powerful arose side by side, the people had no means of living, and the people had no way of life, and finally had to put their heads on their belts and fight for their lives .”

"As long as there is a stutter, they will not die."

"I personally think so."

"Of course." Seeing that His Majesty did not sympathize with Han Xiandi's experience, but took the stand of the common people, Hu Wei knew that His Majesty is still the one whose people are the foundation of the country, and whose foundation is solid and peaceful.

This is easy to get right, at least Hu Ming knows where his butt should sit.

If His Majesty sympathizes with the tragic experience of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty and Sima's helpless actions, Hu Wei will speak more tactfully.

But when His Majesty spoke, Hu Ming knew that his butt was still sitting on the head of the common people, so he would not be so polite when he spoke.

Hu Wei said with emotion: "In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, counting from the Yellow Turban Army to Sima Yan's pacification of Soochow, it lasted for a full 100 years, and all the people withered."

"But after the fighting was over, the common people still refused to reproduce. At that time, Hu and Han lived together in the north, while barbarians lived in the south."

"Si Mashi has two choices."

"The first one is to follow the advice of the courtiers, move the Hu people out of the territory, and expel the Hu Rong based on Jiang Tong and others' "Moving Rong Lun". .”

"In the end, the Sima family chose to be reduced to soldiers."

"Then the turbulent rebellion of the Eight Kings in the Western Jin Dynasty caused the Central Plains, which had just been stabilized for more than [-] years, to be riddled with holes, and the inward migration of the Hu people became a terrifying force."

"In the end, it led to the tragic experience of the two emperors, Beishou, at the end of the Western Jin Dynasty."

Zhu Qiyu was stunned for a moment. This seemed to be very similar to the way of Western Rome's demise. They were all razed to soldiers, and finally the barbarians who had been razed to soldiers occupied the emperor's throne.

The Sima family's choice is a manifestation of Sima's incompetence. The evaluation of the Sima family in all dynasties has been extremely poor. It is really a unified dynasty, belonging to the Western Jin Dynasty.

"No one was available, which was one of the difficulties at that time. Logically speaking, the war was over, but after 20 years, the population has been slow to increase. Does Your Majesty know the reason?" Hu Wei asked.

Zhu Qiyu recalled for a while and said: "The most famous ones in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties are the seven surnames and ten families."

"The Nine-Rank Zhongzheng System allowed the gentry to control the government, and the annexation of local land was not properly resolved after the establishment of the Western Jin Dynasty."

The Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties were the era most similar to the Roman legal patriarchal system, the era when the clan system was completely greater than the bureaucracy, and the era when the Jin and Yuan emperors were to be "canonized" by the Langya Wang family.

The reason for the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty was almost the same as that of the Western Rome, and even the process was similar. It was because the people of the same tribe refused to reproduce, so they had to let the barbarians flood the barracks. In the end, the barbarians broke the city and finally abolished the emperor.

The corners of Hu Wei's mouth twitched and he said, "So, the Central Plains Dynasty also experienced that time. The North has been in peace for more than 50 years. Originally, three generations should have multiplied!"

"But until the Yongjia Rebellion, the number of Han people was so scarce that no one could use them."

"This is the wrong way of the Western Jin Dynasty."

Zhu Qiyu agreed quite a bit and said: "I take back the previous assertion, the problem Hu Shangshu said really needs to be vigilant."

"Later, Fu Jian prescribed a prescription for the chaotic world in the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. He hoped to use benevolent government to alleviate conflicts, thinking that benevolent people are invincible."

"After he destroyed Yan, he still gave Murong Wei and the great general Murong Chui high-ranking officials, and he still held real power. After Yao Xiang was destroyed, he also entrusted Yao Chang, the leader of the Qiang people, as an officer."

"In the end, they all became Fu Jian's reminders."

"In the battle of Feishui, the whip was thrown to cut off the flow, and in the end he was killed and turned into a war of wind and cranes."

"Fu Jian was eventually killed by Yao Chang."

The prescription given by the former Qin Tianwang Fu Jian was to establish a world where all ethnic groups enjoy themselves because of benevolent government, but he failed. It is unknown whether his prescription is effective, but an era of military adventures sent Fu Jian to the guillotine. .
