Chapter 342: Still Such a Poor Place?


Wei Zhongxian quickly agreed.

Although he didn't know much about literacy, he had an excellent memory.

He could remember it clearly after the emperor said it once.

The next day, everyone deviated from the official road and entered a remote mountain village.

As soon as he entered the village entrance, Zhu Youxiao's expression changed.

The huts were of the same color, short, old and crude.

The children playing outside were wearing plain homespun clothes, barefoot, and their faces were full of vegetables.

Everyone got off their horses, and Zhu Youxiao walked to a thatched hut.

Looking up, I saw nothing but a small, black stove in the room.

Next to it was a crooked table with several large porcelain bowls.

Not far away, there was a ball of something that could barely be seen as cotton wool.

Place on a pile of straw.

At this time, a woman in her thirties walked out of the room and shouted to a boy playing outside: "Hammer, go ask your father to come for dinner."

Colonel Zhu You winked at Duan Ying.

Duan Ying stepped forward and said, "Sister, we have come a long way.

Can we ask for a drink here?"

The lady smiled and said: "Of course you can, just don't dislike our things here, sir.

Please sit inside."

There were only three chairs in the hut.

The lady smiled shyly and said, "My family is poor, so please take care of me."

Duan Ying said: "Sister, may I ask what your family does for a living?"

The lady said: "What can we do to make a living?

My man has planted two acres of thin farmland and randomly planted a few fruits on the mountain, just to survive."

Duan Ying said: "With this little land, I may not even have enough food."

The lady smiled bitterly and said, "Who says it's not the case?

Normally, we can only add some vegetables to the meal to appease our stomachs.

When the farm is busy, we have to work, so we have to eat some food.

On weekdays, we all eat vegetable porridge." ” Zhu Youxiao stepped forward and asked: "Sister, why don't you immigrate?

After immigrating, each person will be allocated fifty acres of land, and there will also be livestock, tools, houses, clothes and quilts given to you.

Life will be better than here.

More."

The lady smiled bitterly and said: "Last time the government came to ask us to immigrate, we women with long hair and short knowledge were fine, but those men said that the tombs of their ancestors were here, so how could we stay away from them?

The whole village was full of relatives.

This immigrant is not separated There is very little flat land here, and the mountains are steep.

Whether it is fields or mountains and forests, there are not many useful places at all.

I don’t know what they are trying to do.

It is obvious that the people in the government are just like what the brothers said, but they just If we don’t go, we really can’t figure it out.”

Zhu Youxiao asked: "Are all people here like this?"

The lady said: "It's pretty much the same.

The best thing is that you can eat dry food most of the time.

The whole place is just like this, how much hair can there be."

At this time, Tie Zhui called his father back, a very honest man.

Zhu Youxiao started chatting with him.

He asked Daddy Hammer: "Brother, why don't you want to immigrate?"

Dad Hammer said: "Can you believe what the government says?

There is no such good thing in the world."

Zhu Youxiao said: "But the immigration matter was decreed by the emperor.

Even though the government may have exaggerated a little, there shouldn't be much difference in general."

Father Tiechui lowered his head and said, "We have been living in this village.

How can we live our lives when we are far away from our hometown for a while and are not familiar with the place."

Zhu Youxiao understood that in fact, the main reason why they did not want to immigrate was because of timidity.

After being far away from home, they felt that they had lost their backbone.

The changes in the environment made them at a loss what to do, so they would first think of many troubles after immigrating, thus convincing themselves , no longer willing to immigrate.

It seems that my original idea was not entirely correct.

Leaving one's hometown would make people scared.

However, I did not take this into consideration when I made the decision to immigrate.

I just thought that everyone's life would be much better after immigrating.

I only saw the poor living conditions.

Improvement, but did not think about the psychological problems of these immigrants.

Of course, it is actually very simple to solve this problem.

First, group the immigrants who were originally together when they immigrated.

This will make them familiar with people in the place of immigration, and they will be more courageous; second, there is no need to consider The idea of ​​​​immigration directly forces them to immigrate.

When they get to the land, they will naturally adapt slowly.

Zhu Youxiao said goodbye to the Tiechui family and did not go further.

Looking at this, he knew that other families may not be much better than the Tiechui family.

Zhu Youxiao said: "Go back to Beijing."

Wei Zhongxian was overjoyed.

He had been worried that the emperor was going to Suzhou.

It was a long way and he had few people to take with him.

Not to mention safety issues, it would just be a lack of care and lead to something wrong with the emperor or the imperial concubine.

That would be a big deal. .

Since they were returning to Beijing, the group of people galloped to their heart's content and caught up with the Queen and her team a few days later.

The group got on the train in Jinan and returned directly to the capital.

And Ti Ti also returned to the capital, because the emperor promised to let Concubine Li Kang follow her back to Jinan to live for a while, and she was going to pick up Concubine Li.

After Zhu Youxiao returned to the court, he urgently convened the cabinet and ministers of various ministries to discuss the immigration details.

Zhu Youxiao told what he had seen and heard on the road, and then asked the ministers to express their thoughts.

Sun Chengzong first said: "The imperial court has specially set up Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and the Economic Survey and Statistics Bureau.

So many institutions are unable to find out these things clearly.

It actually requires His Majesty the Emperor to go down in person to see the real situation.

I thought I would punish you."

These are the institutions.”

Zhu Youxiao knew that he would definitely start from this aspect, so he smiled and said: "Dongchang Jinyiwei mainly investigates illegal matters.

The Economic Survey and Statistics Bureau has less manpower, and the scope of the investigation given to them at that time was commercial investigation. , so it’s possible that they didn’t investigate these things, or they saw it but didn’t think they should report it.”

Seeing that Sun Chengzong's face was still as pale as the bottom of a pot, he had no choice but to continue: "I have been staying in the palace and rarely go out, so I wanted to see how my people were living, so I came up with a way to do it.

I will definitely no longer do this in secret from now on, and I will assign various yamen to do it if there is anything."

Sun Chengzong's face brightened slightly then, and he said: "Your Majesty also knows the story of Bailong Yufu.

He paid a private visit incognito.

If anything goes wrong, it will be a disaster for the country.

I ask your Majesty to take care of yourself.

It will be a blessing for the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Youxiao nodded repeatedly: "I am sure.

Even if I want to get married in the future, I will clear the way with a guard of honor and will never visit in person.

By the way, Wei Zhongxian, the director of the Dongchang factory, asked for punishment because of his failure to dissuade him.

I thought about it carefully. , Although I was the one who acted arbitrarily, he did do it, so I fined him a year's salary as a warning
