Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 49, his heart can be punished

The Hongzhi dynasty was full of talents, and the three scholars in the cabinet were all sages, and each of the ministers was not bad. Originally, the cold weather and the death of the common people did not belong to his minister Zhou Jing.

The household department, the household department, manage the treasury well, and you don't have to worry too much about other things, but this Zhoujing is obviously a person who eats the king's salary and divides the king's worries.

From the cold weather, combined with the patterns of previous years, it is also a bold inference that the Tatars and Wala in the north are very likely to go south.

After Zhou Jing's words fell, everyone in the court changed their faces drastically, even Emperor Hongzhi did the same. The rebellion of the southwestern chieftains was nothing more than a small disturbance.

But the Tatars and Oirats in the north are different. In the Ming Dynasty, the Tatars and Oirats in the north have never stopped, and they often buckle their sides. In the worst case, they even hit the capital city. The change of the civil fortress was All the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were captured, and the captured emperor was Zhu Qizhen, the grandfather of Emperor Hongzhi.

Therefore, for the Tatars and Oalas in the north, the emperors of the Ming Dynasty tried their best to suppress them. Zhu Yuanzhang’s banner at the beginning was to expel the Yuan captives and restore the Han Dynasty. The son guards the gate of the country and the king dies in the country. In this respect, it can be regarded as the toughest in all dynasties.

"This year's winter is indeed extremely cold. It has been freezing cold since the Mid-Autumn Festival. Tatar and Wala may be closed again. We should make preparations as soon as possible."

Liu Jian stood up and expressed his opinion.

What Zhou Jing said was not nonsense, because during the long-term confrontation with the Tatars and Oalas, everyone already knew this and found out some rules.

The cold weather will not only freeze the people of Ming Dynasty to death, but the area where Tatar and Wala are located is even colder. If the weather is too cold, more cattle and sheep will freeze to death on the grassland. Once too many cattle and sheep die, Tatar and Wala Life here will be very sad.

At this time, they picked up their sabers, rode their horses, and naturally looked at the wealthy neighbors in the south. As long as they could enter the customs and loot, life would be much easier in an instant.

This tradition has a very long history, from the Xiongnu in the Qin and Han Dynasties, to the Turks in the Tang Dynasty, to the current Tatars and Oalas, this tradition has a history of thousands of years.

There are times of failure, times of success, and times of taking advantage of the opportunity to invade the great country of the Central Plains. In short, if there are any problems that cannot be solved, they can go south to plunder, and naturally all problems will be solved.

"Order the towns on the Nine Sides to strictly guard and report any disturbances immediately."

Emperor Hongzhi nodded, thought for a while and ordered.

There is no way around this. Facing the homeless civilization, farming civilization is always in a passive position in the era of cold weapons, because the opponent is riding a horse and has strong mobility, but he can only build high walls and build the Great Wall. Passive defense, in addition to this, there is no other way.

"It's freezing cold, and this winter, ordinary people's lives are hard. I heard that the charcoal in the capital has already risen to 500 renminbi a load. Do you love me, do you know any good ways to solve the problem of heating for ordinary people?"

"It's only October, and the coldest time has yet to come. If the weather continues to get colder, more people will die by then."

Emperor Hongzhi thought about what Zhou Jing mentioned just now that hundreds of people had froze to death in the capital because of the cold weather, and said worriedly.

"This…"

Hearing Emperor Hongzhi's question, all the ministers were silent. They really didn't know how to answer, and couldn't think of any good way.

"Forget it, don't talk about it."

Emperor Hongzhi waited for several minutes but no one came forward to answer. He also said helplessly that he couldn't think of any good way out.

"I heard that a big event happened in Wangyue Tower yesterday. I wonder if everyone has heard of it?"

After thinking about it, Emperor Hongzhi shifted the topic to the Moon Tower.

The Emperor Hongzhi didn't sleep all night last night, he was thinking about what Liu Jin said, and the things that were played in the court this morning can also be seen that the current Hongzhi Dynasty is not really singing and dancing, and the life of the people is still very difficult. It was so cold that hundreds of people froze to death. This was only in the capital. No one would know how many people froze to death in the whole of the north.

After thinking about it all night, Emperor Hongzhi made up his mind. No matter how far away this Golden Continent is, or whether it exists or not, he must find a way to send people to introduce the three high-yield crops back, for the sake of the future generations of Ming Dynasty. , so that everyone can have enough to eat.

"The minister has heard about it, and the three of us discussed this matter together last night."

Liu Jian stood up and said.

"The minister and others have also heard about it."

The other ministers also followed suit.

"Okay, since you've heard about it, let's talk about it, and you can say whatever you want, whatever you think."

Upon hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi straightened his body and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, this Liu Jin is beguiling the crowd with his demonic words, deliberately advocating the wild land outside the law, belittling my great Ming, and his heart is to be punished!"

"My minister, please remove Liu Jin's fame, demote him to a commoner, and never hire him."

As soon as Emperor Hongzhi's words fell, Yu Shi Jiang Zijun immediately stood up, with a serious face and sharp words.

If Liu Jin was in the court at this time, he would probably have fought with this censor Jiang Zijun immediately. If you offend him, you want to get rid of your reputation and be demoted to a commoner, and you will never be hired.

This kind of punishment is no different from the heaviest punishment for ancient scholars. It is basically equivalent to ruining all future prospects.

The well-known Tang Bohu in history was demoted to a petty official because of his involvement in the scientific research case, and was never hired. In the end, he was depressed and frustrated, but instead became a famous painter through the ages.

Liu Jin and this censor Jiang Zijun definitely had no enmity, and they didn't know each other at all. The reason why this Jiang Zijun played so well was because he was the censor, and censor was synonymous with mad dog in Ming Dynasty.

The so-called mad dog is no matter whether it is right or not, it will bite a few bites before talking about it. Regarding the new things Liu Jin said, these censors who represent conservative forces instinctively want to bite.
