I'm a big dick

Chapter 691

When the sky collapsed and the earth was torn apart, he could not die, hide or leave, and he was still beautiful.

Regarding the tragic life of the people like hell, there is nothing to say, just be their "Yan Sheng Gong".

Newspapers continued to attack and criticize the descendants of Confucius, and the Da Ming Forum, which represented the will of the emperor, dared to do this, and the meaning behind it was obvious.

It has always been the emperor's tactic to launch a public opinion offensive first.Now that the emperor's meaning has been made clear, who would dare to go against the wind and offend Long Live?
Kong Yanzhi, the contemporary Yansheng Gong, finally couldn't sit still, and defended himself on the table.But the emperor didn't reply, but put it down without mentioning it.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty did not dare to argue for Kong Yanzhi, the facts are all there, and the emperor did not want to overthrow Kong Sheng, but was only dissatisfied with his descendants.

Compared with the verbal criticism of the descendants of the Confucian family, the emperor also spent money to renovate the Confucian Temple, which can be described as a combination of grace and power.

Finally, Kong Yanzhi submitted his resignation.The emperor was very happy this time, and he quickly agreed to reply.

The title of Duke Yansheng was revoked, and Kong Yanzhi was changed to be the sacrificial officer of Dacheng's most holy teacher.So far, the iron rice bowl that has been inherited for 700 years has come to an end.

The goal was achieved, and the emperor published an article in the newspaper titled "For the country and the people, pass it on forever", which can be regarded as the end of this suppression of the Confucius family.

Confucius is Confucius, and descendants are descendants.Qin Hui was notorious throughout the ages, but his grandson fought bravely against the Jin Dynasty; Fan Zhongyan was admired forever, but his descendants had Fan Wencheng, a big traitor.

The emperor used this article to express his preferences and feelings.Contributing to the country, sharing weal and woe, and seeking the well-being of the people, such people and officials are what the court needs and should be vigorously advocated.

Otherwise, no matter how glorious your ancestors are, you will not be allowed to enjoy them on the merits of your ancestors.

"Long live—" Yuan Keli, who returned to his hometown in Henan after he became an official, shook his head and smiled wryly. He was speechless and accustomed to what the emperor's student did.

There are always deviant moves, but they are thoughtful, whether it is the timing or the reason, they are all very well grasped.

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Yuan Keli turned to the housekeeper and asked, "How about the purchased food, when will it be delivered?"

The steward hurriedly bowed and said, "Master, according to the itinerary, we should go ashore. I can't say the exact date."

After a pause, the steward added, "It's shipped by the Changjiang Chamber of Commerce, and has a good reputation. Besides, they don't dare to be perfunctory to the Prime Minister."

Hmph, Yuan Keli patted the case on the table lightly, and said: "I've said it twice, you are not allowed to be called the Prime Minister again."

"Yes, yes." The butler quickly said with a smile, "Master, calm down."

Yuan Keli waved his hands, got up and walked to the window, looked at the flower garden outside, and sighed: "As expected, the catastrophe was predicted by Wanzai. Disasters occurred in several provinces. It is really not easy for Wanzai to maintain the stability of the country!"

The steward nodded vigorously, and said, "Isn't there still someone like the master who cares about the country and the people, who can always get through difficult times by helping each other in the same boat."

Yuan Keli shook his head, and said: "With the royal salary, it's hard to feel good if you don't use up some meager efforts. Besides, it's for the sake of their hometown. It's not a blessing, it's just to let them have food and clothing."

History has completely changed its appearance, but nature is still developing according to the original track, showing the power of catastrophe.

In the seventh year of Tianqi, there was a severe drought in northern Shaanxi;
Ten years after the apocalypse, there was a severe drought in Shaanxi province;
In the 11th year of Apocalypse, there was a severe drought in Henan;

In the 12th year of Apocalypse, there was a severe drought in Shanxi;

The dry areas advance from east to south, the old dry areas continue, and new dry areas appear every year.

The imperial court is doing its best to provide disaster relief, and local governments continue to transport and store grain.There is Mekong Province, there is Jiangnan, and the newly occupied land in Burma, as well as the grain purchased from overseas, as long as they can be transported to the disaster area, there will be no major turmoil.

In other words, there is food, but it is mainly difficult to transport.Shipping to Zhigu by sea, the Yangtze River by river, and relay transportation by land, the peasants basically do not leave the province.

In addition to the imperial court, officials, gentry, landlords and merchants were also mobilized to join in the purchase and storage of grain.The emperor said that they can make some profits from it, but they must strictly control the range.

That is to say, you can make money by selling food, but driving up prices or hoarding it is a crime and will be punished severely.

It has become a consensus that the government and the people should act together to fight against natural disasters.Under the emperor's prestige, whoever dares to touch the bad head will be beheaded and exiled waiting for you.

The successive droughts made the Yangtze River water transport the main way to transport grain.

As a result, the Changjiang Chamber of Commerce has received key support and awards from the imperial court. Making money is certainly important, but the leaders of the Changjiang Chamber of Commerce are more interested in social status and a brighter future.

Following the governor of Luzon, the governor of Pontianak, Yan Siqi, also took office, and the lord of Tampasek, Lin Tiansheng, was also appointed by the court.

Although the Changjiang Chamber of Commerce is a mainland business, it also has connections with the Maritime Chamber of Commerce. They also have their eyes on overseas foundations and actively invest in the "Huaxia Longteng" company.

The salt merchants who held huge wealth in their hands, but were cut off by the reform of the salt administration, also began to divert their attention and invest their money in it, thinking of making a lord or a governor.

Although the catastrophe continued, the level of activity within the Ming Empire was even greater than before.The flow of funds and personnel has become active, which has greatly eased the difficulties of the people at the bottom.

The immigration work has been carried out in an orderly manner. With the call of "land to the tiller", the Northeast, Dongfan, Hainan, Mekong, Qiantao and other regions have continuously absorbed the migrating people and accelerated development and construction.

Work-for-relief in the disaster area continued to be implemented. The construction of roads and bridges, water conservancy facilities, urban construction, and large-scale slab railroads enabled the people in the disaster area to have work and food, and the society was thus able to maintain stability.

And such a variety is unique in history.If it weren't for the emperor's precautionary measures and rigid decree arrangements, it would be hard to imagine the chaos of the disaster in several provinces and the social turmoil.

Therefore, when the catastrophe arrived as expected and intensified, the emperor's prestige was even more enhanced.

Similarly, the performance of local officials has also been examined during times of major disasters.Capable officials emerged, while the mediocre ones were deposed and punished.

Moreover, even when he was trying his best to deal with the catastrophe, the emperor's expansion plan did not stop or stop.Transferring contradictions and plundering wealth has become an effective means to alleviate the catastrophe.

After more than two years of preparatory work, the southwestern chieftains are about to launch a new round of military operations.This time, their goal was determined to be Tianzhu in South Asia.

The imperial court gave guidance before, but seeing is believing and hearing is believing.The chieftains of the Southwest did not dare to easily believe that Tianzhu was described by the imperial court as "rich people are stupid" without field investigation.
