Chapter 2381 This Is a Counterattack
If there is too much food, it will rot. This is probably one of the standards of a prosperous age.
Most of the officials were somewhat proud to have participated in this prosperous era, but after all, they were still worried about forming a party, so they were not happy.
"The wine and meat in the Zhumen are stinky, and the roads are freezing to death. It's okay for the Ming Dynasty not to do this!"
The emperor's words made everyone's hearts lift.
This is a precursor to taking action!
At this moment when everyone was in danger, the sound of falling to the ground suddenly came from behind.
"Master Li! Master Li!"
There was sudden chaos among the civil servants. More than a dozen officials all looked in the same direction. Several officials squatted on the ground and helped an official up.
Xu Jingchang and Fang Xing were also watching this scene. Xu Jingchang whispered: "That guy is a clique, and he is jumping up and down, connecting with each other everywhere, seeking death!"
He actually fainted from shock, which is really weird.
Fang Xing said softly: "I don't even have the courage to face the king directly. It's really a joke."
Two eunuchs came and took the man away. Everyone became quiet, but the atmosphere was still tense.
It's like a battlefield between two armies!
The monarch and his ministers have never been one, and now everyone has realized this truth, and at this moment, they showed their true colors to the great court meeting.
Xu Jingchang sniffed and whispered, "Be careful."
Fang Xing nodded noncommittally, receiving warning glances from the two censors.
The emperor is about to speak, so pay attention to your manners!
Fang Xing tilted his head slightly and looked at Zhu Zhanji above.
Zhu Zhanji smiled slightly again, and Fang Xing saw it clearly this time. As the person who knew Zhu Zhanji best, he dared to vouch for it. Zhu Zhanji smiled sarcastically.
"It's not easy for the people."
This was probably the last scene of today's court meeting, so the officials secretly moved their frozen legs and listened carefully.
Compared with Zhu Di's anger from time to time, Zhu Zhanji's voice was calm.
"Emperor Wen once told me that people are not like water, and emperors are not like boats."
Zhu Zhanji's posture became more and more calm, "The people are the land, and the emperors and officials are the planters."
This was a fresh metaphor, and even Fang Xing was eager to hear Zhu Zhanji's opinion.
"Working at sunrise and returning at sunset, respecting the land that gives us food, this is what emperors and officials should do."
In Fang Xing's opinion, Zhu Zhanji's metaphor was just a cliché and not something new. But as an emperor, it is good to have this kind of understanding. At least the name of a wise king cannot escape.
Zhu Zhanji's eyes turned and he immediately saw Fang Xing's expected expression.
He smiled, and then said: "Planters must abide by their duties and never trample on the land or deplete the land for fishing. Otherwise, the land rich in food will crack into alarmingly huge gaps, and melting gas will erupt from it." The flames of all things in the world..."
"Your Majesty."
Zhu Zhanji said: "I want to tell you one thing today, that is, whether you are an emperor or an official, you must first always remember the people. For example, if there is too much food, I have received many memorials suggesting selling it."
He sighed slightly, as if he was regretting something.
"But the people will have enough to eat!"
Zhu Zhanji said solemnly: "It's cold and it's the Chinese New Year. Can they wear warm clothes? Can the children afford a candy? Can the women at home make new clothes? All kinds of things, I'll take a closer look. Thinking about it, I can’t sleep at night.”
"Your Majesty is kind and the world is lucky!"
Yang Rong took the lead in shouting, and all the ministers bowed in praise.
Zhu Zhanji said with a solemn expression: "This is not a lie. It is so difficult for me, but I dare not expect the same from you. After all, it is too hard."
Even the stupidest person feels something is wrong at this moment!
The ministers slowly raised their heads and saw the emperor standing on top, with the sun gradually coming down and shining on him.
Its appearance is brilliant!
The emperor in Huanghuangzhong said loudly: "I feel deeply uneasy about asking people from all over the world to support me, so I always keep in mind the sufferings of the people."
This is the counterattack coming!
Start fighting back from the common people.
Start to build up strength again from the people.
What's next?
"In the fifth year of Xuande's reign, I have been on the throne for a long time! But every time I reflect on myself, I realize that it will be of no use to the world or the people."
An official may have thought of something and was ready to leave work.
Fang Xing also thought of something, but it was more specific.
Zhu Zhanji sneered and stared at the official who wanted to leave work. The man was so frightened that he knelt on the ground. Zhu Zhanji glanced over and continued: "I have thought about it for a long time. When I got up early this morning, I suddenly felt that all those thoughts were hypocritical prevarications. So I decided that in the fifth year of Xuande, the world's grain tax will be reduced by 10%!"
Well!
Fang Xing was shocked when he heard the sound of teeth grinding.
Cough cough cough!
A violent coughing sound came. Fang Xing turned sideways and saw someone coughing uncontrollably.
A 10% exemption from the food tax would still be the whole world.
Fang Xing knew that these people's astonishment and bewilderment were all for the sake of public support.
Once this edict is issued, coupled with the publicity through some channels, the emperor's image damaged in the north-south cleanup will be quickly repaired, and his prestige will continue to rise.
Only then did everyone know why the emperor did not directly deal with those officials who were suspected of forming a party.
How many people can you have in your party?
The party I have formed is the world's best!
When all the people in the world are from my side, no matter how many officials you have, they will only become ants, vulnerable to a single blow!
Jin Youzi only noticed the official who was recording beside him at this moment, an official he didn't know.
The man had been recording since the beginning of the grand court meeting, and he made revisions from time to time, which showed that he wanted to keep every word unchanged.
Why record so much details?
Jin Youzi thought of the court report in an instant.
This is a counterattack!
This counterattack will sweep the world!
The grand court meeting was over, some people were lost, some were uneasy, some were jubilant, and some were pondering...
Fang Xing smiled and walked slowly.
Ma Su and Li Ermao didn't come over, but dragged behind.
Xu Jingchang had already run away. The emperor stabilized the situation, so he could continue to be free. When the emperor needed him again, he would come out and be the chicken to be killed.
Fang Xing was thinking about the look Zhu Zhanji gave him before, so he rushed back home after leaving the imperial city.
"Dad!"
His most beloved little cotton-padded jacket was waiting outside the gate.
Fang Xing picked up Wuyou and told someone to meet Huang Zhong in the study, then strode into the main house.
After arriving at the study, he let Wuyou play with the two big dogs by himself, and then began to write a letter.
The letter was written to Wang Shang in Jinan. The content was very simple, that is, he was asked to organize the craftsmen to start working overtime immediately, and he must print the latest issue of Jianming Bao as quickly as possible.
And the content of this issue of Jianming Bao was only one, that is, the emperor's statement at the grand court meeting, and not a single word should be changed.
At this time, Huang Zhong came outside the door, and Fang Xing said: "Bo Lu, please work hard. After I finish writing here, you should immediately send someone to send it to Wang Shang in Jinan. In addition, you should write an article based on this matter to explain His Majesty's thoughts on loving the people."
Huang Zhong was still in a daze, Fang Xing had already written the letter, and then began to record Zhu Zhanji's speech today alone.
He was reminiscing all the way, so he still remembered it.
After recording, he handed the letter and the record to Huang Zhong, and then looked at his precious daughter and couldn't help laughing.
Wuyou was drawing eyebrows for two big dogs with a brush, muttering to them to behave, otherwise she would not draw them tomorrow.
Although the big bug and the small bug were sitting side by side in front of her, their expressions clearly showed that they had lost all hope in life, and their eyes were full of desolation.
