"Your Majesty!
Thanks to His Majesty's grace, the wages of the employees of the Weaving Bureau are not low, but these employees are still not tired of it, and they do not know how to thank the emperor, just because the private weavers hire each other with high salaries, they rebel against the Weaving Bureau, which is really hateful!
It is not conducive to the righteousness of the people's hearts, nor is it conducive to the increase of national funds, so the minister thinks that it should be regulated by law!
”After Bi Ziyan asked Zhu Youxiao why he voted like this, he answered confidently.As a civil servant who was loyal to the court and the emperor and sympathetic to the people of the world, he really didn't feel that this small political matter he handled was worthy of being summoned and questioned by the emperor himself.Zhu Youxiao said at this time: "But the hired workers are hired by the Weaving Bureau, not the officials of the Weaving Bureau, let alone slaves!"
By forbidding them to leave the Weaving Bureau, you are treating them as officials or even slaves of the Weaving Bureau, do you understand?
In addition, the hired workers and the Weaving Bureau are signed a deed, not a deed of sale, and their departure from the Weaving Bureau is not considered a betrayal of the Weaving Bureau, at most it is a violation of the contract, and at most it is dealt with in accordance with the provisions of the contract. ”"Your Majesty, if you don't punish the people for despising the emperor's grace, the emperor's prestige will be damaged!"
Bi Ziyan replied."
Do you think that with such a will, the people will be grateful to the emperor?""
Wrong!
They will begin to hate me, hate the court!
People are born to seek advantage and avoid harm, easy to be ungrateful, but it is never easy to forget hatred, don't look at me I have given them a lot of kindness before, but as long as I do this this time, they will directly forget the kindness I thought I gave them, and scolded me for being stupid, not a good emperor, do you believe it or not?
”"Essentially, we don't produce, we feed on them, we are robbers who take what they produce, you provoke them, what if they don't work, then we will lose even more!
Besides, if you don't let them leave the Weaving Bureau, even if they have to endure it, then do you expect the Weaving Bureau to recruit any more people?
Although the small people are good at oppressing, but it is not a good policy to oppress the small people when they encounter problems, just like, if you plant crops, once the harvest is not good, you will beat the cow, the harvest is not good, it is not that the cattle do not work hard, it is either your own problem, or the problem of the sky, if you kill the cow, who will work?
”Zhu Youxiao asked as he spoke.After hearing this, Bi Ziyan suddenly realized: "The minister understands!"
Those who are in power should not be harsh on the people, and they should not be as knowledgeable as the small people, but expect them to be educated, know etiquette, be grateful, and even be lenient to the people!
And we can't expect the people to be grateful for their kindness, because we need the people, and the people need us. ”"It can't be said that we have not been kind to them, from the beginning, it was just an exchange, they used their labor in exchange for the gold and silver in our hands, although before this, they were hungry, mourning and starving, but it does not mean that we hired them to let them survive, they actually have other ways to survive, such as overthrowing my country, or raiding your master Bi's house!""
The next time you encounter this kind of thing, don't blame the people, but think carefully and really solve the problem, otherwise, it will give some people with ulterior motives an opportunity to take advantage of, you Bi Aiqing will still listen to the words of the Weaving Bureau, not to mention the ordinary people, once they are bewitched, there will be greater turmoil, and then the damage will be to the cohesion of the country."
Zhu Youxiao commanded as he spoke."
Remember, the minister will redraft the purpose."
Bi Ziyan replied.He had to admit that His Majesty the Emperor seemed to know the common people better than he seemed to know, and the words he said always made him feel empowered.Zhu Youxiao had to admit that it was still a headache to let the educated officials in the agrarian society deal with the affairs of the industrial society.The education system for training officials must be changed.If you, the emperor, want to be too idle, you may cause things to happen all over the world."
Report!
Emperor, there is an urgent report from the Privy Council, there is a riot in the Tongzhou Iron Works, and the employees of the Iron Works have rebelled, and now the Tongzhou City has been captured, blocking the Cao Yun!
Governor Bi Zisu was killed!
”Wang Chengen hurriedly ran over at this time and handed an urgent report to Zhu Youxiao."
Sure enough, there will be chaos!"
After reading it, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but be very depressed and said: "How is this done, Tongzhou Iron Works is a government-run workshop, and the government-run employees have always been not low-income, how could they rebel, how did Yuan Keli, Xu Guangqi, and Bi Ziyan do it!"
Go and pass on Wei Zhongxian!
”Not long after, Wei Zhongxian came to Zhu Youxiao.Zhu Youxiao hurriedly asked Wei Zhongxian: "Tongzhou Rebellion, what secrets does Dongchang know?"
”"Back to the emperor, according to the eyeliner of our East Factory, Liu Zhengzong, the director of the iron factory, was in arrears, and at the instigation of individual craftsmen, the craftsmen of the entire iron factory went on strike to make trouble, and Liu Zhengzong reported to the Tianjin governor Bi Zisu on the grounds that these craftsmen rebelled, and Bi Zisu sent troops to suppress it, but I don't know how the news was known by the craftsmen of the iron factory, and the craftsmen first occupied Tongzhou City and killed Bi Zisu who was in the city, but Liu Zhengzong fled in advance."
Wei Zhongxian replied."
Sure enough, it was caused by the greed and mishandling of ink by these ministers of mine."
Zhu Youxiao said: "Spread the civil and military officials above the fourth grade to the Qinzheng Palace, and discuss this matter in the court!"
”"Yes!"
It didn't take long for the Qinzheng Hall to be full of civil and military officials wearing imperial python robes and scarlet official robes.Zhu Youxiao also began to let them discuss the Tongzhou Rebellion."
Your Majesty!
There are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers stationed in Gyeonggi, and the rebellion of 10,000 people is not extinguished, and the minister is willing to lead the troops to quell the rebellion in Tongzhou!
”Military General You Shilu reported.Fu Zonglong, the left attendant of the military department who was transferred to Beijing, also said: "In the opinion of the ministers, it is better to send troops to quell the rebellion sooner rather than later, after all, it is a matter of luck!"
”"After these rebels are pacified, they should be severely punished, otherwise it will not be enough to deter the millions of government employees in the Tongzhou area of Tianjin."
Li Guopu, a university scholar, also took a hard line.For a while, many of the ministers, without military force, demanded to suppress the rebellion.But at this time, Hua Yuncheng, who was already the right servant of the household department, said: "Most of the hired workers in Tianjin and Tongzhou were displaced people who were concentrated in Beijing before, at that time, His Majesty ordered Bi Gong and his ministers to settle these displaced people, making them hired workers, and the ministers were responsible for the specific arrangements.
Deal with this matter properly, because the ministers know them best, and can make them return to the court. ”Zhu Youxiao nodded after hearing this, and said in his heart: "In the end, it is the officials with these practical experiences who know how to deal with this matter better." ”So, Zhu Youxiao said: "Proposed order, Bi Ziyan will be appointed as the privy deputy envoy and governor of Tianjin, and lead the Guards Lu Xiangsheng to deal with this matter!"
