Chapter 241 The Times builds momentum and builds Xianzhong Temple
"The strong wind knows the strong grass, and the storm knows the sincere ministers!" This is the latest issue of the "Imperial Times".
The above comments are about the two palaces and nobles who heard about the disaster in Shaanxi that they received donations and assistance.
"The countryside cracks and water floods, flowing into a river... Sand water gushes out from the north of Puzhou City..."
"Hancheng is very heavy! When it came, it sounded like thunder. More than 5,000 houses of officials and civilians collapsed, and more than 170 men and women were reported to have been reported..."
"Eight miles east of the county, the area is broken everywhere, one or two zhang or four or five zhang long, and the water overflows into a river..."
"...Caijiabao, Yanbo Village and others also poured into rivers everywhere... The fields were destroyed, the countryside was mourning, and hungry people were screaming..."
"Your Majesty is wise! First, avoid disaster taxes, money and grain, and transfer money and grain to various provinces. The garage will help disaster victims to come to Beijing to resettle..."
"All military officials are grateful to the emperor and know that the country's treasury is in trouble, so they spontaneously pay donations to help with relief..."
As soon as this report came out, the people and scholars from the two capitals and thirteen provinces all praised each other.
There were originally gentry, scholars and scholars who were talking about it, and the emperor was unethical.
But as soon as the Imperial Times was released, the news suddenly disappeared.
The common people who listened to the scholars and told the tragic situation that the newspaper readers said, could not help but feel the feelings of empathy.
He also heard that His Majesty loved his people to allocate money and food, and the life garrison station escorted them to Beijing to resettle, which would inevitably be praised.
Who can guarantee that in this life, you will never be able to get overturned by a dragon, flood, drought, locusts and cold in your life?!
Your Majesty loves the people so much, and if he suffers from disaster in the future, he will have hope! He will not be able to die for the whole family.
The officials praised the officials because the dynasty exempted money, food, taxes and taxes, and led the victims to the capital, which greatly reduced their pressure.
All flowers along the way can be recorded in the account books and reported to the government for payment, which must be praised!
Gentlemen, merchants, and wealthy families will naturally praise them, and in disasters, a large number of refugees and hungry people will be born.
If these people don’t leave here and stay there, they will be hungry and anxious and they won’t be able to do anything!
The state government led them all to the capital and settled them. Wouldn't that mean that there was no risk?!
It’s a big profit to take the opportunity to buy the land of these people at a low price!
By the way, I waited for someone to hook up with the government and do some tricks on the grain account book...
Then, won’t the food and silver you saved in this disaster come again?
"We need to trouble Mr. Qian. Yizhou's grain production is now ready for picking three times in one season."
In the imperial study room, except for Emperor Hongzhi, there was only money, Xiao Jing and Mou Bin.
The other eunuchs who served were even ordered to leave, and Xiong Lieshan personally took reliable guards to prevent people from approaching.
"The influx of disaster victims will inevitably lead to a sharp rise in grain prices! There will even be illegal businessmen who stock up on goods!"
But I saw Mr. Zhang bowing to Qian Neng for a long time.
"The 200,000 victims, the food rations of the people in the capital, and the reputation of Your Majesty is all in Mr. Qian!"
Old Eunuch Qian was so excited that his calves were trembling. How could he have such a big face?!
Your Majesty, the three great scholars and even the court, all the scholars and scholars in the world praised Fengyun Qilin'er, now he saluted himself.
Moreover, this is not for self-interest, but for Your Majesty’s business! Or in this imperial study room, in front of Your Majesty!
"Don't worry, my husband, although Qian Neng is a person with no roots, he also knows the principle of loyalty to the emperor and serving the country!"
Old Qian's face turned red with excitement, and he gave a deep gift to the young master.
Then he turned around and bowed to Emperor Hongzhi: "Please rest assured that even if the inner minister tries his life, he will definitely live up to His Majesty's entrusted!"
"I dare not say that if I have too much, I can make up 500,000 stones of grain!"
Lao Qian dared to say this naturally has a foundation. Last year, he just tried the grain produced so that he could collect 100,000 stones.
The chieftains paid about 50,000 or 60,000 shi, and the rest were the farming outputs of the families of the prisoners.
After seeing the output, the chieftains moved the entire village out directly, and the arable land in their hands expanded three or four times!
And with the experience of the first season, the output of those farming experts will inevitably rise.
Lao Qian was not experienced at first. The officials and their families had few experience in farming, and they were all old and weak, but they didn’t have many oxen.
After planting in the first season, I found that there were too many old and weak people, and this field was difficult to cultivate. I quickly asked the navy to help buy oxen from southern Fujian to transport it.
At the same time, a large number of good farming experts came to help, and then expanded the fields by two or three times.
The newly sent maritime businessmen and sanitation prisoners drew some good performances and honesty to assist in farming.
In this way, he would be sure to collect at least 100,000 stones of official land with just money.
The chieftains made great efforts to grow grain, which naturally attracted the attention of other Yizhou chieftains.
So when I came to join Mr. Qian, I hoped to get the cultivation technology, there were more tribes. Mr. Qian, who came here without hesitation!
Although they were hand-made, there were also quite a lot of newly-developed fields, and they could harvest them almost.
Although they paid at most 100,000 shi, it did not prevent Mr. Qian from purchasing grain from them!
Eunuch Qian’s prestige in Yizhou was not a big deal. Even the chieftains who lived in the temple of Yizhou had built him up.
He said he wanted to purchase grain, so the chieftains in Yizhou would definitely leave only good varieties and food rations to sell them to him at all at a fair price.
Emperor Hongzhi sighed in his heart that there was a reason why the late emperors often valued the inner officials.
This is not even a patent of the Ming Dynasty, but something that many dynasties will exist.
When reading history, everyone reads history written by Confucian children. There are few praises and belittlements everywhere.
In the early days of the dynasty, Emperor Hongzhi also trusted the records in history books, but now...
"Friends with money, do your best! I will definitely not treat you and other loyal ministers unfairly!"
But Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said in a deep voice: "Before Chihu'er, Wei'er and others asked to build Xianzhong Temple in the Great Palace!"
"All the officials who are in charge will first serve the incense and worship and pay homage to you! The royal family is still there, and the incense will never be extinguished..."
"Monkey partner, Xiao partner! I have a constitution for this matter. You just need to do your business well! In the future, there will be a place for you in the Xianzhong Temple!"
As soon as Emperor Hongzhi said this, let alone money can be said, even Xiao Jing walked down the jade steps from Emperor Hongzhi and cried in tears.
"Your Majesty is so kind! The inner minister... The inner minister is so grateful to the five inner ministers! This is a king's kindness, even if the inner minister dies, it will be hard to repay the consequences!!"
While talking, the two old eunuchs actually started to cry bitterly, and the young master sighed aside.
The internal officials have always been criticized by civil officials and often criticized, and even those who are honest and sensible as Xiao Jing still do not fall well.
Chapter completed!
