The carriage stopped, Zhu Xu lifted the curtain, looked up, and saw a rather delicate and luxurious carriage inserted in front of them, with more than a dozen entourage, all of whom looked like a practitioner.
Looking at it this way, it is very imposing, and it is either rich or expensive!
The guards guarding the gate were quite polite, blocking Zhu Xu's carriage and letting the carriage go first.
Cao Bianjiao came to the window and said, "Childe." ” Although it is said that at this time, the law and order were abolished, and all kinds of restrictions on merchants and others were in vain, but the carriage was not 'encroaching' at all, and the attitude of the guards seemed a little different.
Zhu Xu thought thoughtfully, and said, "Go and ask who this person is." ” "Yes!"
Cao Bianjiao said.
"Who are you?"
When it was Zhu Xu's turn, the guards guarding the door looked at Zhu Xu's group quite vigilantly.
Cao Huachun got out of the carriage, handed over some silver in his hand, and said politely, "We are merchants from the north, and we hope that the official will be accommodating." ” "Take it back!"
Unexpectedly, the guard suddenly shouted loudly, and at the same time, the guards around him surrounded him.
A group of people under Cao Bianjiao immediately became nervous, some of them reached into their waists, and some of them wanted to touch their arms, looking indifferent and vigilant.
The guards were even more nervous, and those who drew their swords and the spears that stood up their spears were all like facing a great enemy.
The leading lieutenant glanced at Cao Huachun coldly, then looked at the carriage, and said in a deep voice: "Now the whole Fu.
Jiandu strictly investigates the spies, no matter where you come from, get out of the car immediately, let us check, or else immediately escort the governor's yamen for interrogation!
” Cao Huachun and Cao Bianjiao's faces were slightly gloomy, how could the people and things in the carriage be moved by others!
Just as he was about to speak, suddenly, a person came on a horse behind Zhu Xu's carriage, and said coldly: "Okay, let them in, it's not a small work." ” When the captain of the gate saw it, he hurriedly collected his troops and said, "Since Master Tao knows, it's fine." ” Zhu Xu opened the curtain and saw that the stinky middle-aged man he met in the tea house was slowly coming over with an impatient face.
Zhu Xu immediately laughed and said, "Thank you, Lord Tao." ” The middle-aged man immediately snorted coldly and turned his head to ignore it, obviously very unhappy with Zhu Xu's status as a disciple of the 'Zongchuan Academy'.
Zhu Xu felt interesting, and said, "I'm going to see Yu Anxu next, do you want to go together?"
” The middle-aged man paused, frowned, struggled for a while, still snorted coldly, and walked forward, but slowly.
"Tsk, there is a backbone......"
Zhu Xu smiled more.
Zhu Xu's carriage moved forward, and the soldiers guarding the door were not embarrassed this time, and couldn't help but bow slightly, and a few people even trembled.
Yu An, Fu.
Build a governor, someone who can call him by his name at will—they can't afford to offend!
The few guards who were shouting just now all looked at each other quietly, afraid in their hearts, such a person can decide their life and death with a single word!
Zhu Xu didn't care about these little soldiers, and the carriage slowly entered the city.
The city is interspersed with concrete roads and bluestone roads, or mixed, with occasional bumps and bumps.
Zhu Xu lifted the curtain and looked outside.
People on both sides of the road come and go in a hurry, compared to Ying Tianfu, the people here seem a little 'listless', from time to time you can see some refugees on the side of the road, gathered in groups of three or five in the corner, all of them are loveless and powerless.
Zhu Xu frowned, and said to Cao Huachun in front of him: "You will inquire later, Fu.
The state capital as well as the whole of Fu. built in the situation. ” "Yes."
Cao Huachun said.
Zhu Xu was still looking outside, and he had some bad premonitions in his heart.
Good fortune.
In the book above, although there is a description of the disaster, it is generally good, there is a surplus every year, and although the taxes and grain paid are insufficient, there are more than seventy percent, which is somewhat different from what he saw.
He is not afraid of civil unrest or something, but he is afraid that the local government will not report it, cover up the facts, whitewash the peace, and let him see the real situation clearly.
The carriage traveled through most of the block and came to a restaurant, which had been completely emptied, waiting for Zhu Xu to settle in.
Zhu Xu had just taken a shower on his front feet and changed his clothes, and Cao Huachun came to report.
"Your Majesty, the people you met in front of the city gate have been checked clearly," Cao Huachun had a pamphlet in his hand, which was dedicated to the accompanying Jinyi Wei to investigate things, he glanced at it, and said: "That Zhao Yuanwai is a jinshi in the second year of the Apocalypse, and he has been a magistrate of the county, and was later impeached for corruption and dismissed, and he has been at home since then."
At the beginning of Chongzhen, the businessman who went to sea brought sweet potato seeds, he tried to plant a few acres, and it happened to encounter a catastrophe, an acre of sweet potatoes can reach three or four acres of Zhongtian, planting is simple, he planted on a large scale, and then sold to make money, in just a few years he earned seventy or eighty thousand taels of silver, and then Baoshan, purchased land, expanded to tens of thousands of acres, not to mention the traders, Lian Fu.
The Yamen of the Governor of Jianjian bought tens of thousands of taels of sweet potatoes from him every year for disaster relief.
He also established a 'Food for Heaven Chamber of Commerce', in addition to jointly planting sweet potatoes and selling them, it also involved maritime trade, buying grain from overseas and reselling it for a profit......
I heard that he was also a guest of honor of Governor Zou.
The state capital is quite prestigious, and now it has also entered the provincial governor's house. ” Zhu Xu was drinking tea, listening to it and was stunned.
There is no shortage of smart people at any time, and this Zhao Yuanwai can be regarded as a capable and visionary person.

"Fu.
What is the specific situation of the building?
Zhu Xu asked instead.
Cao Huachun knew that Zhu Xu just wanted to observe Fu through this Zhao Yuanwai.
The customs and customs of the building, when he heard the words, he said: "Fu.
Eight prefectures, two of the upper grades, four of the medium and two of the lower grades, with an annual taxable grain of about 1.2 million stones, have been aggravated in recent years, and about 800,000 yuan have been handed over.
Since last year, Fu.
The first season has been harvested, but because of the resistance of the people, the effect is not great, and the drought has increased, and the price of grain has soared, and the disaster situation has become even more serious......
Zhu Xu nodded slightly and said, "In this way, Fu.
Jian didn't fool me, Zou Weilian was in Fu.
How is the official reputation of Jian?
” Cao Huachun said: "Fu.
The 'New Deal' has been promoted relatively smoothly, and the current framework has been erected, and it only needs to be slowly deepened and refined.
Zou Weilian's official reputation is generally good, he bends his waist, often visits various places, is honest and honest, and is particularly serious in 'cracking down on corruption', and more than 100 officials, large and small, have been dismissed for more than a month.
Governor Yu An's sexual ability is also quite outstanding, and he has exterminated dozens of mountains large and small in two months, and is now leading troops in Quan.
Bandits near the state vowed to exterminate Fu within half a year.
Build all the big and small bandits. ” Zhu Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, what he was worried about did not happen.
He tapped his fingers on the tabletop, silently thinking.
There is no shortage of talents in this Ming Dynasty, and there is no shortage of loyal people who are dedicated to the country.
Why did the Ming Dynasty officials in history be corrupted to such an extent?
First, Shen Ke is too heavy and complicated, and ordinary people can't deal with it; The other is the improper use of power, and those who really do things are tied up, and they are impeached and removed from office at every turn, and there is no way to continue.
It is the government of the officials that it will only get worse and worse, and it will be out of control.
Now that Zhu Xu has concentrated his power, promoted the capable officials, and forcefully attacked Shen Ke, the situation can naturally improve quickly.
"However, it is only temporary......"
Zhu Xu whispered that the New Deal was from the top down, and it was not destroyed below, and before it was rebuilt, the 'Jingzheng New Deal' still stayed at the stage of 'reform', not 'reform'.
Cao Huachun listened to Zhu Xu's self-talk, did not speak, and listened to the instructions quietly.
Zhu Xu thought for a while and said, "Since the red-haired man hasn't come yet, I'm not in a hurry to show up, let's take a look around." ” Good fortune.
Built on the southeast coast, it is a representative province, and if it can barely cope with the disaster, its other status is not far behind.
Cao Huachun responded and said, "Yes." ” Good fortune.
Governor Zou Weilian was leading people to observe the fields in the field at the moment, and everyone was worried.
In the vast fields, there are cracks everywhere, and blowing can raise a cloud of dust, and the crops in the fields fall in patches, not because of the wind, but because of drought, sickness, locusts, etc.
Zou Weilian was less than sixty years old, with white sideburns, thin face, slightly hunched waist, looking at the situation in the field, frowning and saying, "Is it also a big reduction this year?"
” Beside him was the master book who followed, and when he heard this, he nodded and said: "Yes, my lord, the lower officials and others have also visited the surrounding prefectures and counties, and the situation is good and bad, but it is certain that it will be reduced by three percent." ” Zou Weilian looked up from afar, and whispered to himself, "The imperial court is right, the 'new deal' must be promoted as soon as possible, otherwise the people will have nothing to eat." ” The master nodded, in the past few years, they also knew that disasters were frequent, but they did not look down, look at the overall situation, look at it now, the whole blessing.
If it is really as the imperial court said, 'the disaster has not weakened, and there needs to be a long-term response', then they really need to take precautions, but ......
I don't know if it's too late.
Zou Weilian walked along the path while holding his hands behind his back and said, "As far as this official knows, the emperor has been exempted.
Built two provinces and thirteen counties of tax grain, mountains.
Nine counties in the east and two provinces, river.
South, Jiang.
West, lake.
Guang,Shaanxi.
There are several prefectures and dozens of counties in the west and so on, and if this continues, there will not be much tax grain that the imperial court can have, not only me.
The construction needs to be prepared early, and the imperial court needs to make arrangements early, and this 'new deal' is still a little late......"
The master book listened silently, Zou Weilian's pattern is undoubtedly relatively large, but the pattern is too big to help the cruelty of reality.
"The 'New Deal' needs to be accelerated, and there are still more ...... that sweet potatoes need to be planted," Zou Weilian stopped and looked at an old tree that was about to die not far away.

He was relatively opposed to the so-called 'New Deal' at the beginning of Chongzhen, but now he is the staunchest supporter.
The chief bookkeeper did not move, and stepped forward and said in a low voice: "My lord, but Lord Liu said that 'food is the foundation of the country, and it cannot be moved lightly', and he has been opposing, with his prestige, I am afraid that many people will be ......."
Planting sweet potatoes is not an order, you need to persuade the people to change the plant, and if there is no enough prestige to lobby, the effect will be very low, and similarly, if the prestige of the person is very high, the effect will be great. —— On the last day of the month, ask for a monthly pass, and if you don't vote, it will expire~~
