Zhao Ming earned a circle in the city of Nanjing, the outer Guo where the commoners lived, and then found a restaurant to sit in the inner Guozhong, and in the evening, he personally went to Nanjing, and even the largest gold cave in the entire south of the Yangtze River, Qinhuai River.In the end, this trip was met with unanimous opposition from the two elders, but Zhao Ming insisted on going to the Qinhuai River on the grounds of experiencing the people's feelings to experience the consumption of the powerful and rich children in Nanjing.Zhao Ming insisted on experiencing the people's feelings, and the two cabinet elders had no choice but to rely on Zhao Ming to observe the people's feelings.This observation is a night.The next day, in the morning, Zhao Ming summoned cabinet members at the residence of the regent.Gu Yinxi arrived first, and when he saw Zhao Ming's dark eyes, he couldn't help but salute: "The regent has worked hard!"
”He is a pun, I heard that yesterday the regent was on the Qinhuai River, the largest Qinglou heaven and earth, played for a day, experienced all the projects, and spent a total of more than 10,000 silver dollars.Zhao Ming smiled awkwardly, "Hehe, it's okay!"
OK!
”Du Yinxi didn't let him go, and continued to care: "There are several princesses in the regent's palace, and they also went to Qinhuai River to observe the people's feelings, and I am afraid that my body will not be able to bear it, or let the regents prepare some six-flavor rehmannia pills!"
”Zhao Ming knew that this was a tactful admonition, waved his hand and said, "I just observe the people's feelings, and I won't go in the future." ”Seeing this, Du Yinxi let go of Zhao Ming, and said with a slight bow: "The regent is the world, or he has to take the world as his own responsibility, you can't indulge yourself too much, you need to pay attention to your body." ”In fact, Zhao Ming is now in his forties, and in ancient times, he might suddenly go one day.At the moment, the ministers are actually a little worried about what to do in the future of the Ming Dynasty.Zhao Ming's heart warmed and said: "Rest assured, the widow is in good health.Don't mention this to the outside world. ”Du Yinxi nodded, and at this moment, several cabinet ministers came in one after another.Zhao Ming immediately took a sip of tea soaked in wolfberries, calmed down, and smiled: "Everyone, Aiqing is seated!"
”Several cabinet ministers sat down on both sides, and when they saw that the regent was not looking good, they were also a little worried.The regent fought in the south and the north, accumulated many hidden diseases, and did not rest after coming back, working on state affairs, which was really heartbroken for the Ming Dynasty.Zhao Ming and the others sat down, and then spoke: "Yesterday, the widow observed the people's feelings, and had many insights in his heart.I have gathered you here today to talk to you. ”When everyone heard that Zhao Ming went to observe the people's feelings, their hearts couldn't help but tighten, which can be said to be experiencing the suffering of the people, or it can be said that it is to inspect the cabinet's governance ability to see if they have governed the world well.Zhao Ming looked at everyone and praised first: "The widow went around Nanjing and found that under the governance of the imperial court, Nanjing City is more prosperous than before!"
”Du Yinxi and Chen Mingyu did not speak, and several other ministers were relieved after hearing this.Huang Zongxi said with a smile: "This is all the regent's leadership, and he made a plan for the cabinet in advance, and the ministers just implemented the plan." ”Zhao Ming waved his hand, "The widow hasn't finished speaking, Nanjing is indeed more prosperous than before, the nobles of the kings and grandchildren, the gentry and merchants, are richer than before, and the entertainment consumption is also more abundant."
However, the living standards of ordinary people have not been qualitatively improved, and they have not enjoyed much of the benefits of economic development. ”Huang Zongxi said: "Regent, now the gentry are big, and they pay taxes according to the laws and regulations of the imperial court, and there is no illegal act, and the money earned is in line with the laws of the Ming Dynasty."
The Ming economy is developing, fair competition, the people want to improve their living standards, they need to work hard, the imperial court can only make rules, but not interfere!
”Zhao Ming frowned slightly, and when he heard it, he knew that he was an old capitalist."
The common people are no better than the gentry and merchants, and the gentry and merchants can influence the formulation of the imperial court's policies, but the common people have not written and said things, which affects the ability of the imperial court to formulate rules.If they want to express their opinions, it can only be a violent uprising.The widow wants to come, and all the people here, as well as the gentry and merchants, no one wants things to develop to that point. ”Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "The duty of the imperial court is to let the people of the Ming Dynasty, Shinong, industry and commerce, each have their own benefits.When formulating policies, it is necessary to protect the interests of the people and employees who cannot speak out. ”When Huang Zongxi heard this, he didn't speak, afraid that Zhao Ming would think that he was a gentry and a businessman, and a spokesman for the imperial court.Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "The widow has taken a look, and now in the city of Nanjing, the life between the rich and the common people is simply worlds apart.If the imperial court allows the situation to continue to develop, I don't see that in fifty years, the internal contradictions of the Ming Dynasty will intensify again.The responsibility of the imperial court is to govern the world and ensure the long-term stability of the gentry and the common people.Now, as long as the businessmen are big and give a little profit, they can avoid the gradual intensification of this contradiction, and in the long run, it is also a good thing for the businessmen, it is better than being overthrown by the uprising and being killed. ”Several cabinet ministers were silent, and Du Yinxi spoke: "What does the regent mean?"
”Zhao Ming said in a deep voice: "The cabinet came up with a plan, formulated it into a decree, and promulgated and implemented!"
”Zhao Ming glanced at everyone and added: "The widow put forward several requirements and directions, first, to determine the minimum monthly wage for workers, and second, to work four hours a day, and pay another salary in addition to the minimum wage for the extra working hours, and the workers must be voluntary.Thirdly, if a worker is injured or sick at work, it is the responsibility of the businessman to help the worker with treatment.For the time being, the cabinet will brainstorm on these three points to see if there is anything to add, and then come up with a plan as soon as possible, gather some workers and businessmen, and listen to the opinions of both sides. ”The faces of everyone in the cabinet were a little ugly, and Zhao Ming's requirements, not to mention three points, were more difficult to do.After Zhao Ming finished speaking, seeing everyone's expressions, he knew that he was embarrassed for them, but he still decided to implement it, so he waved his hand and said, "Okay, go back to the cabinet and discuss it!"
”After Zhao Ming finished speaking, he stood up without waiting for the cabinet minister to get up and say goodbye, and then left the hall.He had to be tougher and put pressure on the cabinet, so that the cabinet could make the gentry and big families give up.At this time, Zhao Ming left the hall and went to the backyard of the palace, ready to go back to make up for sleep, people in their forties, their bodies began to go downhill, and some of them couldn't play anymore, and they needed to rest."
What's that~" Zhao Ming suddenly stopped and said to the old eunuch who was following him: "Liuwei Dihuang Pill, do you know?"
”The old eunuch who had served the emperor knew more than ordinary people in this regard, and said with a smile: "Regent, the old slave knows better." ”Zhao Ming bowed slightly, "Well, you're good, you're quite knowledgeable!"
”After saying that, he didn't explain anything, so he went to the palace.()
