Chapter 109 Zhu Houzhao’s Influential Talent
Such a large-scale announcement of the imperial edict involved so many people, and the details of it were quickly spread.
In the emperor's palace, the eunuchs committed evil crimes. The emperor killed them all and apologized to the people.
And compensation was given to the people of Huangzhuang, with each family receiving ten shi of grain.
Any casualties will be counted separately.
What's more important is that in the future, each family only needs to hand over one-tenth of the grain produced by the field.
This made all the people who heard it feel envious.
I only regret that I am not from Huangzhuang.
The idea that the emperor loves his people like his own son and is a good emperor has truly entered the hearts of countless people for the second time.
The first time was when the emperor released the maids and announced that he would never draft women again.
As for catching corrupt officials, etc., it has just begun, and it does not have much influence on the people.
And the influence this second time was far greater than the first time.
After all, it involves hundreds of thousands of people all over the country.
The people in Beizhili were envious and jealous, and the news was still spreading among the people bit by bit.
And those high-ranking ‘big shots’ have more complicated emotions.
In the officialdom, the cabinet, the six ministries, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, etc.
"Your Majesty indeed loves the people like his own children. From now on, the people of Huangzhuang will be envied."
"Yes, Your Majesty killed so many eunuchs in one go and compensated them He has given so much money and food to the people, and also reduced the food payment so much, and even apologized to the people. His majesty's love for the people is rare in history."
"I am just worried that your majesty is now caring for the people of Huangzhuang. , there are still few people in Huangzhuang, and it will not have much influence.
If your Majesty wants to do this to all the people in Ming Dynasty, it will be a big problem. ”
"Your Majesty is not just reckless, and there is no need to worry too much."
····
"Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and is an eternal sage.
It is at this time. While the Holy King is still alive, we scholars should take the imperial examination, serve the people, serve the Ming Dynasty, and serve the people."
"You are right, your Majesty will expand the number of envoys and arrest corrupt officials. He is a holy king who treats the people of Huangzhuang kindly. We wait..."
····
“I heard that His Majesty’s order that day was full of guilt for these untouchables.
Huh, Your Majesty attaches so much importance and care to these untouchables, but you don’t know that the untouchables are the most important. "Idiot."
"Yes, your Majesty's move is completely useless. It is the righteousness and our officials who really affect the world, not those untouchables. Why doesn't your Majesty want to treat us better?" How about better?"
"Yes, that's right, and His Majesty loves those untouchables so much, how should we treat those untouchables in the future?
Is it really possible that we should be treated like our children? "
... "
"Yes, Your Majesty not only loves the people, but also considers us and other officials. How have you ever dared to think about salary matters in the past?
Your Majesty has shown you such kindness, and I must die to repay it. ”
····
Far beyond officialdom.
Other people from all walks of life were moved by the news after receiving it.
Plus what happened before.
Even if his military exploits are not counted.
Release the palace maids and stop drafting women.
Apologies to the people at the lowest level, real money, food compensation, and those few words that have been spread.
‘Dignity is achieved with strength, is it the people who live well?
Everything else is false. ’
‘My people are not living well. As a father, I have made mistakes. Shouldn’t I apologize? ’
'Besides, everyone is dead, and my apology was too late, let alone bringing them back to life.
Is an apology and some monetary compensation enough?
Not enough. ’
Even if you just listen to it, even if you don’t see it with your own eyes, combine it with those real things.
Almost everyone can feel the sincerity, the sincerity towards the people at the bottom.
It seems incredibly sincere for an emperor.
The sincerity that moves many people and makes many people dismissive.
They have never seen, heard or even heard of such an emperor.
Those emperors who loved their people like sons in historical records suddenly became a reality.
It is more real and credible than what is recorded in the book.
Perhaps Zhu Houzhao's words in the past contained a lot of love for the people, but his words were just words and were far from enough to win people's trust.
Only what you really do will work.
Silently, more and more people, from officialdom to all walks of life, are being affected.
Some officials began to care about the people.
Some scholars have high morale.
Some big figures such as nobles, martial arts forces, etc., for whatever reason, they treat the common people better.
Things such as this are fermenting under the Great Tomorrow and are still slowly spreading to other countries.
Zhu Houzhao doesn't know this yet, he just does what he thinks is right.
After dealing with the matter at Huangzhuang, he felt that he should go out and see more.
Even his own imperial village has problems, and the entire Ming Dynasty may have more problems than he imagined.
He had to find it and correct it all.
But he also knew not to rush.
There is no point in being anxious, because he does not have enough talents to speed up the change.
Now the focus of Jinyiwei and Dongchang is still in Shanxi. Factory guards in other places are actually making efforts, but the time is still short and the strength is limited. In addition, the headquarters is obviously biased towards Jin.
Therefore, the effect is not obvious yet. Most of the people arrested are small officials and minor officials, and the influence is not great.
The military cabinet rectified the Ming army, and there was a serious shortage of talents.
Lao Wang is still working hard in Shanxi and will not be able to return to Beijing for a short time.
The rectification of the Beijing camp and the rectification of various places are still far away.
The performance assessment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Six Subjects is still under preparation and investigation, and the results will not be figured out until the end of this year.
It is no longer easy for the cabinet and the six ministries to maintain the operation of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Houzhao still understands this.
He saw how busy Li Xunhuan, Liu Jian and others were.
Only Wan Sanqian and Fan Fenyang from the Shang Department surprised him, because they were really fast and capable, and he could really see them.
But if the Ministry of Commerce wants to be strong enough to influence more things, it will also take time.
Zhu Houzhao once again deeply felt that there were not enough talents.
If there are not enough talents, his strength will not be strong enough to quickly change the Ming Dynasty.
But when it comes to talent, Zhu Houzhao thought about it, but he didn't have a good way. He could only work hard to find, discover and recruit.
In addition to talents, the most important thing is your own strength.
Zhu Houzhao became increasingly aware that his own strength was his greatest strength and confidence.
However, he has never worried about his own strength.
After becoming the emperor, he felt that his cultivation was much faster than when he was the prince, and there was a tendency for it to continue to accelerate.
Although it is far inferior to the war period, the war period was very short, less than two months in total.
Being an emperor is day and night.
He is confident that within a few years, he will definitely reach the realm of heaven and man.
Just when Zhu Houzhao was a little worried about talents.
There are people in the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the land of Jin, the entire territory of the Ming Dynasty, and even all the countries in the world who are moving for it.
In the capital.
"Brother Bingyong and Brother Weizhong, it's been a long time since we last seen each other." At Li Xunhuan's house, Li Xunhuan smiled enthusiastically and happily at the two young men.
"My lord——"
"Call me Brother Xunhuan." Li Xunhuan immediately interrupted seriously, with a sincere expression that moved the two young people in front of him.
Today, Li Xunhuan is the right servant of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, a third-rank official, with a high position of authority.
He is also known to be one of the most trusted people by the emperor, second only to Wang Shouren among civil servants.
No, Wang Shouren is already a military attache, and Li Xunhuan is the most trusted by the emperor among the civil servants.
How could such a person not be moved by such a gesture towards these two men who were still able to lift people up?
"Okay, Brother Xunhuan." One of the older people smiled.
Seeing this, another person also said something.
Li Xunhuan smiled and said with some pity: "It's a pity that brother Bo'an is in charge of the overall situation of the army in Jin.
Brother Bohu and several brothers are officials in various places, and we can't get together again."< br>
Zhang Cong and Yan Song also had expressions of regret on their faces, and at the same time they were quite envious in their hearts.
On the eve of Spring a few years ago, several of them met.
Today, Wang Shouren is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Li Xunhuan is not far behind either.
Tang Bohu and others also served as officials in various places.
There are only two of them. They were not admitted to Jinshi at that time, but now they are just candidates.
But things are different now.
Both of them were equally filled with high spirits and the passion to do something great.
With a few nostalgic words, Li Xunhuan solemnly said: "Bing Yong, Wei Zhong, you have passed the Wenzhao Xian Hall. You are the only two people who have passed the Wenzhao Xian Hall since its establishment.
Your Majesty must I will reuse you.
If you take the imperial examination now, once..."
Zhang Cong and Yan Song know it well.
If they participate in the imperial examination but fail to pass the Jinshi, then the two of them who passed the Wenzhaoxianguan and became famous will become a joke.
“Brother Xunhuan, the two of us have made up our minds.
This year is an unprecedented good time for us. If we still can’t win, it’s our incompetence.
But if this is true, I'm afraid it will affect you." Zhang Cong said firmly and a little apologetically.
Yan Song nodded aside, looking apologetic.
If they fail, then Li Xunhuan, who presides over the Wenzhao Xian Hall, will definitely be questioned.
"It doesn't matter to me." Li Xunhuan shook his head, not caring, and said seriously: "It's okay, I believe that Bing Yong and Wei Zhong will definitely make it to high school."
Chat again After a few words, Li Xunhuan asked: "Bing Yong, Wei Zhong, do you know if there are any great talents among this year's candidates, or among the people you know?"
Zhang Cong and Yan Song looked at each other, Not too surprised about this issue.
Back then, the two of them were valued by Wang Shouren because of their talents.
Wang Shouren and Li Xunhuan knew that they had been looking for good talents.
In the past few years, as Wang Shouren and Li Xunhuan have become more and more famous, they have become more and more proud of this.
Now that they know it, both of them have paid attention to it in the past few years.
Without hiding anything, the two of them told everyone they felt good about.
"There is a young man who is from the same hometown as me. His name is Xia Yan and his courtesy name is Gongjin. Although he has not yet won the imperial examination, I feel that this person is extraordinary." Finally, Yan Song added another person.
(Ask for support, thank you sincerely.)
