Chapter 1957: Big Event
"Your Majesty, Xing Hebo seems to be in high spirits."
This was the impression of Fang Xing who came in to report, and Zhu Zhanji naturally didn't believe it.
But after seeing Fang Xing, Zhu Zhanji realized that this person was really different.
"Li Ermao's memorial is a bit early, but it doesn't delay the matter."
Fang Xing took the responsibility first, which made Zhu Zhanji fall into memories.
That's right, in the past, no matter who it was, as long as he had a good relationship with him, he was willing to go around.
So when did he start to sink into a state that resembles decadence?
Zhu Zhanji thought for a while, and felt that Fang Xing fell into a decadent state after Emperor Wen had gone. Only inertia and a sense of responsibility supported him to move forward.
"Brother Dehua..."
He couldn't help blurting it out, and then felt a little annoyed.
But Fang Xing was not panicked, and even made a joke: "Don't! You are also the father of three children, how is the corn growing?"
Zhu Zhanji retorted: "The potatoes are growing gratifyingly!"
The two looked at each other, and then both laughed.
The familiar feeling came again, and Zhu Zhanji was a little more energetic, and said: "Li Ermao's memorial is just right. You just cleaned up the South China Sea this time. Siam was scared by Fang Zheng from land. The fleet made them even more frightened, this is the safest time for Daming."
"If you don't move now, when will you wait?"
Now that Zhu Zhanji was moved, Fang Xing felt that the opportunity must not be missed, and said: "Since we want to move, we must first unify the understanding of the court, otherwise this matter will definitely fail."
But this will bring disputes, but Zhu Zhanji still nodded and agreed.
"I'll go talk about it first, let's talk about it."
Once Fang Xing realizes his decadence, he will immediately take action to wash away those procrastination and hesitation.
The vigorous and resolute Xing Hebo is back again!
Seeing Fang Xing striding out, Yu Jia felt that the sun seemed to be brighter.
Zhu Zhanji was smiling all the time. After Zhu Di left, he felt as if he was fighting alone.
Although Fang Xing has been helping him all the time, but...but he is a little lazy, and he rarely sees the previous initiative.
"Go to the queen."
In a good mood, Zhu Zhanji went to Hu Shanxiang's place, personally questioned her body, threatened the imperial doctor, and finally kissed Xiaomai, leaving Xia Gong's cry and ran away.
Hu Shanxiang felt a little baffled, but the imperial doctor felt as if he was mourning.
He almost thought that Zhu Zhanji was implying that he would attack Hu Shanxiang, and he was relieved until the emperor's rewards came in droves.
But Fang Xing went directly to find Xia Yuanji.
"Master Xia, do you dare to support me!"
Xia Yuanji felt that Fang Xing's posture showed some sharpness, so he said in surprise: "Are you trying to jump out of the nest?"
Fang Xing laughed, and said: "I have some old problems in my body. I took a rest for a while. It's not a big deal. How can I hide at home? Master Xia, in a word, do you support this matter?"
Xia Yuanji said with a headache: "I know the importance of this matter, if I don't do it now, I'm afraid no one will be able to do it in the future, but is Your Majesty ready? Are you ready to bear the consequences?"
Fang Xing said with piercing eyes: "I will carry it first, if there is any dissatisfaction, if there is any way to attack me first."
"You're finally back!"
Xia Yuanji sighed a little, and said: "When old Jin Zhong left, I thought that the last generous man of Ming Dynasty was gone, but you still came out after all."
Fang Xing wiped his face, and said: "After Emperor Wen left, I became a bit decadent. I always felt that there was one elder worthy of my respect and service in this world. This decadence has come to this day."
Xia Yuanji said gratifiedly: "Okay! Since you want to get ahead in this matter, I have nothing to say."
"Students come from generation to generation. He didn't mean that this generation will disappear after the preferential treatment. Most of those people have been managed by one generation, and their local relationships are intertwined. Moreover, imperial examinations are often held, and more and more people enjoy privileges. Going to those officials' houses, Daming is carrying a heavy burden!"
Fang Xing immediately went to the Ministry of War. As soon as Zhang Ben heard his intentions, he said: "This matter is a good thing, but I feel that something is wrong, and I am worried that it will cause some accidents. But since His Majesty decided to do it, I will definitely do it." Do your best."
Zhang Ben's concern is also the concern of most officials. Of course, more officials feel that their lips are dead and their teeth are cold.
If the preferential treatment for those people is canceled today, what will happen to my descendants in the future?
Fang Xing got affirmative answers from the six ministers, but he didn't ask about the co-government bachelor's because it was Zhu Zhanji's territory.
Yang Rong replaced Zhu Zhanji and started to unify opinions.
"...This matter will shake the foundation of the country. Master Yang, this is not a lie. If those scholars lose this preferential treatment, they will be lost. Who will be loyal? Who will study hard?"
Huang Huai's health got worse and worse, and he coughed violently after speaking.
These words are internal words. Yang Rong said at the beginning that if anyone leaks today's words, he will be the first to take action.
Now that he was speaking frankly, Yang Pu also spoke.
"This matter is beneficial to the country, but the disadvantages to the future are obvious. Think about it, everyone, without these preferential treatment, there are only a few people who are recruited by the imperial court. What about the rest?"
Yang Pu shook his head, frowning tightly: "Han Chuang studied hard for ten years, but in the end it was nothing. Who wants to study?"
Yang Pu is not opposing for the sake of opposing, he is worried about the series of reactions it will trigger.
Yang Rong nodded and said: "This official also has this worry, but... we live in the temple, if we turn a blind eye to it, I am afraid that in a hundred years we will see the scene of the warehouse of the household department being empty again."
Once land annexation continues, it will snowball and get bigger and bigger.
Yang Pu admitted that this problem exists: "Master Yang's words are not bad. The collapse of the previous dynasties was mostly due to the loss of land and the reduction of taxes. Daming can't go that way. But...how much has the current territory of Ming Dynasty expanded? How many people are needed To fill? This official believes that those places will not be filled within a hundred years."
This is another solution for Zhu Zhanji: let’s not move, the population will increase, the land will be merged, if there is not enough, let’s emigrate.
Everyone was a little moved by this, even Yang Rong was unavoidable.
For the already stable government, Yang Rong does not want to see turmoil.
But Fang Xing was completely different, he wished he could find someone to start the movie immediately after recovering his fighting spirit.
"Dehua, I heard that you want to take the job of a scholar?"
The person who came was Chen Jiahui. Fang Xing couldn't vent his passion, so he had to invite him into the study and explain the necessity.
Chen Jiahui, a veteran official, was very familiar with these things. He said: "I know what you said, but you are poking a hornet's nest. Once the hornets are provoked, it's a trivial matter, and Daming will be in chaos."
"And have you ever thought about it? Once it starts, who can clean up the mess!"
Like an arrow off the string!
Fang Xing said: "If you don't do this now, no one will dare to do it in the future."
This answer was expected by Chen Jiahui, he sighed: "Your Majesty is young, and you are young too, what are you going to do?"
"Find a place to try first."
"Give them some hope? It's just that whoever will go to that place to host... I'm afraid it will be hard!"
"My nephew will take the initiative to invite you."
Fang Xing said calmly: "Your Majesty is able to support it. This is already a risk. How can I stay out of it? Just do it!"
