There is a difference between recruiting and serving corvee.

The latter is voluntary labor, and it is also a kind of tax. If the government sends you to work, do you dare not go?

But now that a whip is in place, there is no so-called corvee in Dingxing County.

Xiao Jing saw that many people were still confused and didn't quite understand, so he swallowed his saliva: "Thirty big money is a day, or a day. Dingxing County is in Beizhili. It has always been a poor county. People, A few years ago, there were hundreds of people who died of freezing or starvation in one winter. I also heard that the people there only had one set of clothes for the whole family, and when the men went out wearing clothes, the whole family could only hide in the At home, I covered myself with torn wadding to keep warm..."

Xiao Jingdao: "Therefore, don't say it's thirty dollars, it's ten dollars. These common people should flock to it. At least, they can barely feed their families, right? What's more, it's the slack season now... the county All the strong men in the village have gone, surrounded by water, no matter how hard the road is, they don't feel any hindrance, and they are afraid, the strength of their bodies can't be exchanged for money."

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked when he heard this.

He hadn't heard of the family wearing a pair of trousers.

If you encounter some rotten Confucianism, I'm afraid you will shout and scold them, which is a disgrace to human ethics.

But at this time, whether it was Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, or Wang Ao, Ma Wensheng, Wen Tao, Zhang Shengren, etc., they all fell into deathly silence.

They still can't imagine how terrible poverty is.

In the past, such news was not reported. Even if something was required to be reported, it was just a word like the great hunger of the people.

But this time was different, the factory guards were not doing well recently, Xiao Jing was a little panicked, he had to report something, which showed that the factory guards were very rigorous in their investigation.

Emperor Hongzhi had a sallow face, but he was not surprised at all.

Seeing that Emperor Hongzhi remained silent, Xiao Jing continued: "Your maid...going out of the city and preparing to return to the capital, the gate of the city was surrounded by countless people in ragged clothes, and the servant could not get out, even if the factory guard showed up. They put up the signboard of being pro-military, and even pretended to beat them with a whip, but they were unmoved, and there was a shed at the gate of the city, waiting for someone to sign up..."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his body, and his face became even more yellow.

He tried to breathe evenly.

But breathing is still getting faster and faster.

Xiao Jing didn't notice this, and worshiped at the feet of Emperor Hongzhi in fear: "The thirty big coins a day is not much. But now, the people in Man County are looking forward to starting work sooner..."

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath: "Dingxing County, after all, is under the feet of the emperor, so it has come to such a miserable situation?"

Xiao Jing said cautiously: "This..."

Fang Jifan was on the side, and said emphatically, "Your Majesty, I object."

"What?"

Everyone looked at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan said seriously: "The people in Dingxing County are also very rich."

Emperor Hongzhi thought that Fang Jifan was joking, and his face was angry.

Fang Jifan said: "A few days ago, my son's grandson came to revise books, oh, that's Liu Jin's grandson, he complained to my son that the people in Dingxing County are too rich, there are many servants in the family, and the house... covers an area of ​​one hundred acres. , the courtyard wall is even higher than the city wall, not only that, they also enthusiastically invite the grandson of their sons and ministers to have dinner, Your Majesty, that is a table full of dishes, a few guests for company, plus the host's family, the total There are only six or seven people, and there are thirty or forty plates of dishes, all of which are extremely precious, such as those that fly in the sky and those that swim in the water, just say the duck tongue, and it takes dozens of people to fry it for one plate. A duck, the grandson of my son, is invited every day, and treated with great hospitality... I can't stand the food, he suffers!"

"..."

Fang Jifan was smiling, and his words were teasing.

But the people in front of him were all ashen-faced.

This is equivalent to holding a knife and poking someone's heart.

Fang Jifan said: "Not only that, my son's grandson also heard that the people who invited him to the banquet had many wives and concubines, one of them had twenty-three concubines in his family, and this concubine had to have two maids by his side. A nanny is taking care of them, and their rouge is specially bought from Jiangnan. The satin they wear is all from Songjiang, as thin as silk."

"..."

Still silent.

Emperor Hongzhi shook his body, his face was miserable.

Liu Jian and the others looked terrified on their faces. These...they couldn't even imagine it.

Especially Wang Ao...he seemed to be ten years older all of a sudden.

In this embarrassment.

Suddenly someone said crisply: "Father, there are twenty-three concubines, why do you only have my mother?"

This is Fang Zhengqing's voice.

Fang Jifan blushed.

He muttered for a while, wanting to explain something, but felt that he couldn't explain it to this little bastard. These words... actually poked Fang Jifan's heart a little bit, and Fang Jifan ignored him.

Fang Zhengqing yelled again: "Father, I remembered, you also have a concubine, don't you and Aunt Xiang like to hug each other secretly? I saw it, and you still kissed her on the mouth! That Aunt Xiang Is it a concubine..."

Fang Jifan panicked.

Fuck.

What the fuck, this is...

He hurriedly yelled: "You prodigal bastard, what nonsense are you talking about. You are young and full of such dirty thoughts, I will kill you!"

talking

, will rush up.

Fang Zhengqing hid behind Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan with a livid face.

Fang Jifan shuddered suddenly.

From a legal point of view, the son-in-law of Ming Dynasty is not allowed to take concubines. This is a matter of principle. As for the corruption of private life, this is also not allowed.

During the Chenghua Dynasty, there was a county horse whose head was beheaded because of this.

This is just a county horse, it is the prince's daughter, not to mention a son-in-law.

Fang Jifan immediately said: "Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense, my son... is not such a person."

Fang Zhengqing hid behind Emperor Hongzhi and shouted: "I saw it with my own eyes, I'm not a child anymore, why did Daddy lie to me!"

Fang Jifan, smiling, declined to comment.

At this moment, Emperor Hongzhi sighed and said, "Take the children away."

The eunuch on the side wanted to step forward.

Zhu Zaimo said: "Father, Sun Chen wants to hear..."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, but suddenly remembered something.

He stared at Zhu Zaimo for a long time: "If I remember correctly, at the beginning, you said that there would be no trouble in Dingxing County. Is it because I was worrying too much?"

Zhu Zaimo nodded: "Yes, Sun Chen said so."

Liu Jian thought about it, but he didn't take it too seriously, kid, talking nonsense.

After hearing this, Xie Qian and the others couldn't help thinking that the emperor's grandson had actually said these words.

Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back. Hearing these hateful things, Emperor Hongzhi felt like a lump in his throat, but it seemed that only when he looked at his grandson did he feel better.

He forced a smile and said, "Why?"

Zhu Zaimo said: "Because it's very simple..."

The emperor's grandson actually has a reason...

Everyone looked at Zhu Zaimo in astonishment.

Zhu Zaimo said: "Sun Chen also read the Analects. When he read the Analects, he discovered that Confucius made a huge mistake."

"What?"

Liu Jian and the others turned pale.

For a child who is not as tall as his waist, it is Kong Shengren's mistake to open his mouth.

Xie Qian, Wang Ao and others were ashamed.

Emperor Hongzhi looked calm, and he encouraged: "Really, what's wrong?"

A saint is certainly infallible.

But Zhu Zaimo said: "Father, the Analects of Confucius is wrong. It is always too general. What people can let them know and what they can't let them know. Maybe the people will not stand without trust..."

These words came out of his mouth.

Come on, I really haven't read a lot of books.

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but feel relieved.

It's just... How can this weird talk be as virtuous as Wang Shouren's?

Zhu Zaimo said: "Sun Chen read the Analects of Confucius at that time, and thought that the sage Kong was really great. He put the people first and promoted the theory of benevolent government...Sun Chen naturally admired him. But..."

Zhu Zaimo said: "Senior brother Wang Shouren, a few days ago, he took us on an outing."

"Sure enough...Wang Shouren..."

The pupils of someone's eyes constrict.

Emperor Hongzhi was still at a loss, and he still didn't understand what it had to do with Zhu Zaimo's previous judgment.

Zhu Zaimo continued: "In the nursery school, there is an outing once a month. That time, brother Wang Shouren led the team. He led us to the farm in Xishan, where there are many households. At noon, we went to the farmhouse I cook porridge at home, and when I saw that peasant’s face was dark, I couldn’t help but ask him if it’s true that the common people are all so dark.”

Many people still don't understand it.

Fang Jifan seemed to understand, but he was not in the mood to listen to Zhu Zaimo's words now. He was full of thoughts about whether His Majesty took the matter of Cai Xiang'er to heart just now, and how he should explain it.

Zhu Zaimo showed a childlike smile, but although this boy was childish on the face, there was a certain kind of wisdom and cunning in his eyes: "The householder told me, yes, they want to farm, exposed to the sun and rain. Lin, as a commoner, there is no one who is not black. Not only are they born black, but their hands and feet are full of calluses... Sun Chen carefully observed that the nearby households, as expected... are all like this, Sun Chen said I was thinking, oh, so they are the people of our Daming. But when we went back, because of the rain, Wang Jinyuan led the chariot and horses to pick us up. But Wang Jinyuan was by my side, but he looked at the sky and said, It’s raining suddenly, God, don’t let us ordinary people have a good life.”

Zhu Zaimo smiled, showing a row of deciduous teeth: "At that time, Sun Chen was confused. How could Wang Jinyuan be a citizen? I called him and asked him, are you also a citizen? Wang Jinyuan called himself a grassroots person and said he had no official position. Unemployed, of course he is also a citizen. But Sun Chen saw that he was born white and fat, and there were no calluses on his hands and feet. Only then did Sun Chen understand that...the so-called people, the so-called common people, are fundamentally different Yes. The sage Confucius used the word 'people' to take over the people of the world, which is a huge fallacy!"
