Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 347: A Shocking Memorial

[End of the God Station] Remind book friends to keep in mind: Website URL: www.xinwanben.com Remember it in a second, never lose it!

Although His Majesty is magnanimous, Ma Wensheng is still not happy.

The fleet of the Ministry of War was destroyed, and the majestic Ming Dynasty could only pin all its hopes on a few unreliable broken ships and a good man!

In fact, as Minister of the Ministry of War, Ma Wensheng should put forward his own suggestion that voyages to the Western Seas should be stopped, because the fleet headed by Xu Jing has little chance of finding a new route.

But at this time, he no longer had the face to make any suggestions.

Of course, the most important thing is that he felt that his psychology was a bit cheap, and he was actually hoping that Xu Jing and the others could come back smoothly and find a route for Daming.

This is a kind of greedy mentality, knowing that this is impossible, but he can't help comforting himself in his heart, maybe that scum of the world, Wang Bushi, can really come back safely.

In the whole world, is it the land of the king, and the shore of the land, is it the king's ministers, but unfortunately, the emperor of Ming Dynasty can't control the ocean.

Because where the king's order cannot reach, there are fickle storms, and there are turbulent waves under his feet. To Da Ming, the entire ocean is a cloud of fog. What dangers are hidden behind the fog, Da Ming knows nothing about it.

Since Emperor Hongzhi had issued his decree, he naturally did not intend to further investigate this matter!

He is a magnanimous and practical emperor. For him, it is better to do the current thing well than to worry about it every day.

Emperor Hongzhi said calmly: "I believe in the crown prince and Fang Qing's family. Since Fang Qing's family guarantees his disciples, then all preparations for the voyage to the West should be carried out step by step according to the previous regulations."

He paused, and then said: "Before, I ordered the crown prince to resettle the refugees. Today, the crown prince and Fang Qing's family came to report this matter. This is also an official business of the court. You and your family can listen to the report with me."

Liu Jian's mind was in a mess, but after listening to His Majesty's words, he had to calm down.

He knew that His Majesty was actually in a mess, and he knew that His Majesty would be very worried, and he also knew that His Majesty would appear calm and composed, because...

He is the son of heaven, the father of thousands of people, all officials and soldiers and civilians are watching him, and he is the leader of the horse, so no matter how much uncertainty there is in his heart, he must be dignified and dignified, behave like a rite, and give to all the officials in the world. Faith, peoples.

The same is true for being the chief minister of the cabinet, as long as the emperor and himself, the chief minister, are calm enough, everyone can rest assured and do their duty well.

Liu Jian settled down, smiled and said, "I obey the order."

"Give me a seat." Emperor Hongzhi pressed his hand.

All the officials sat down, and all their eyes fell on the prince.

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, and said: "My father ordered my son to help the victims of the disaster in Miyun. Fortunately, my son did not disgrace his life. This is a report about the relief of the victims. I beg your majesty to read it."

A large stack of memorials, one for Fang Jifan and one for Zhu Houzhao, were put together and looked as thick as a book, which is why Emperor Hongzhi was so surprised when he saw it for the first time.

And Liu Jian and the others were also secretly surprised in their hearts.

so much?

They have read the book of ten thousand words, but this... probably has a hundred thousand words.

How can you be so wordy?

Liu Jian couldn't help feeling his scalp tingle, remembering that when the Emperor Hongwu was there, a minister babbled a lot at the performance, but was beaten violently by the Emperor Hongwu.

It is said that Emperor Hongwu was tall and tall, and he was the emperor who would win the world immediately, and the minister was weak, and there were a lot of people. After that, Emperor Hongwu couldn't stand it anymore, so he pressed him to the ground and burned it for a long time. So much so that even now, when people think of this matter, they can't help but feel lingering fear.

At least the later courtiers didn't dare to be so verbose anymore, and they talked about things when they had something to do, so they didn't see many Wanyan books.

Emperor Hongzhi also showed a contemptuous attitude towards this stack of memorials.

Memorial...why so much nonsense?

Xiao Jing held the memorabilia and sent it to Emperor Hongzhi's case. Emperor Hongzhi opened it disapprovingly, but found that the first line entered did not show any signs of wordiness, but directly entered the topic.

"Zhang Sanba has three members in his household. There is an old mother in her fifties who is sick; her son Zhang Xiaohu is seven years old and is healthy; he is from Miyun Tengzhuang; he is quite vigorous and hardworking. Farming, carpentry, and honest man, if his mother is alive, he can be placed in Xishan to cultivate, or transferred to a carpenter's house; Zhang Sanba left Datong and temporarily lived outside the pass to cultivate land..."

"Li Liu, seven members of the family, four brothers, three children, Li Liu's younger brother, handicapped..."

Emperor Hongzhi's pupils contracted, and there was hardly a trace of sloppiness in this memorial, and what was there was actually just an extremely detailed record.

The number of people in each household, the family situation, whether there are any disabled or sick in the family, and even how many children there are in the family, and their personalities are all clear. There are no beautiful words or sentences in it. It doesn't matter, but everyone's name, age, specialty, and even their performance in Xishan are clearly and clearly written.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced at Zhu Houzhao subconsciously, and then continued to look in shock.

This is the first time he has received such a detailed memorial. For all states and counties in various places, whoever involves relief for the victims, no matter whether the person is a capable official or a mediocre official, he will

Most of their memorials are to explain the situation in general, but this memorial from the crown prince is unprecedented.

Although it seems to be very vulgar, the investigation of every household in it is very intuitive. Even under this Li Liu, there is a special note, explaining that there are three brothers of Li Liusi who have not married wives. , and Li Liu's father, because he got into a lawsuit and was wronged to death, so the Li Liusi brothers complained a lot to the government. In the end, Zhu Houzhao's crooked handwriting believed that the case of Li Liu's father should be sent back to Miyun County for retrial. Father Liu is dead, but the truth needs to be clarified again, not only to restore the innocence of the dead, but also to give an explanation to the living.

The four brothers of the Li family worked hard and were extremely grateful when they learned that Zhu Houzhao was willing to issue a document for a retrial. And below this, there is Fang Jifan's handwriting. Fang Jifan believes that the outside of the pass is a place of bitter cold. Although the land can be rewarded for going out of the pass for reclamation, the fear of the Han people in the pass for thousands of years has not dissipated. , the first group of Han people who immigrated must be given grace and gratitude to the court. It is extremely important for His Royal Highness to re-examine the case. Except for one of the four brothers of the Li family, the other three They are all powerful men of Kong Wu, who will migrate out of the customs at that time, and they can be recruited as militia at any time in the future, just in case of accidents.

After seeing these, Emperor Hongzhi suddenly took a deep breath.

This memorabilia, the more I look at it, the more frightened I am.

Every household is meticulous to the extreme.

So much so that Emperor Hongzhi immediately had a general impression of this family just by browsing through it, knowing the reason why they became refugees, knowing their family's current situation, roughly knowing what they were thinking, and even... the following is Zhu Houzhao In the small notes with Fang Jifan, they probably made various arrangements for their future.

The third household is a man named Cheng Wu. All his family members starved to death. He was alone. When he was young, he used to forge iron with his master. This man has a rough temper and has no worries. He may stay in Xishan and work as a blacksmith to repair farm tools.

and also……

After reading all these piles, one by one, Emperor Hongzhi was stunned as he turned page after page.

This is the result of their relief to the victims?

How much energy does it take to accomplish this.

There are two or three hundred households with thousands of people. If you want to accomplish this, you must have a deep understanding of each household. This... how is it done?

He flipped through the pages, and the situation behind him was roughly the same.

But through this memorial, Emperor Hongzhi...just realized...it turns out...this is the real sentiment of the people.

Every family and every person in the house has their own past, their own skills, and their shortcomings, and based on these, their futures are arranged.

This is by no means a simple charity.

The simple relief is that when the famine comes, the imperial court will give you a bite of food to ensure that you will not starve to death. When the famine is over, clap your hands and go back to your respective homes and find your mothers.

And this... actually has a little... It means that teaching a man to fish is not as good as giving him a fish.

What's the use of not fundamentally solving the access of these refugees? The coming year will just continue to drive them homeless!

But here, the crown prince and Fang Jifan seem to be very hardworking, trying every means to find a way out for them. Some people can go out to cultivate, but the actual situation of each person is different. If there are sick parents at home, it is still not suitable to go out. Guan can let him work temporarily in Xishan to fulfill his filial piety, while some people have children at home, they still leave their children to study in Xishan, and then send this person outside the pass; while some people have mastered different skills, naturally... Other arrangements.

Every arrangement is not just as simple as asking you to do something, but everything has a basis, this...

The suffering of the people, understanding the feelings of the people...

These words that Emperor Hongzhi used to talk about with civil and military officials used to be extremely natural.

Until I read this memorial...

Emperor Hongzhi's old face turned red subconsciously.

There is a feeling of shame.

Just now the crown prince was eloquent, he was still a little bit annoyed, but now, this annoyance...has been wiped away.

Three hundred households, more than a thousand people...

The prince said that he had washed clothes, made meals, and personally led everyone to cultivate. Emperor Hongzhi thought he was bragging about these words.

But now...

In Emperor Hongzhi's heart... there was nothing but shock!

He believed it.
