I am the king of the dead

After Yongzheng came to power, let these hard-core farmers only receive their salaries and ignore the affairs, which solved some problems and offended the nobles.

Yongzheng, who engaged in the integration of gentry and gentry, offended the Han landlords again. He offended the Manchu nobles in the front and the Han landlords in the back. Yongzheng eventually became disgusted with people.

Therefore, Li Binyan chose to rush to buy in order to reduce administrative costs.

Ye Zhongxing's ability is very strong, and his reputation in the court is excellent, but in the end he was still defeated by the powerful and powerful clan masters.

"Wait another day for Ye Zhongxing, and Cai's house will be ransacked." Zhu Qiyu said with emotion, Ye Zhongxing is considered a good businessman, it is a pity that he ran away if he didn't make black-hearted money.

"As for using work as relief, the imperial court is powerless, so they still rushed to buy it, and everything is business as usual." Zhu Qiyu's tone was quite playful.

"Ah, this?" Xing'an was a little confused.

business as usual?

Zhu Qiyu said earnestly and earnestly: "Replacing relief with work will cost a lot of money."

"Even I, when faced with more than [-] million silver coins, have to be careful every step of the way. Since someone is willing to donate all the wealth accumulated over several generations, he will contribute money and effort to Daming's work-for-work relief."

"Why should I stop it?"

Only then did Xing'an realize suddenly, bowed his head and said, "I understand."

If there are fish but no fish, His Majesty throws another shot.

Under the law, the administration of officials has been improved after several years. Substituting work for relief is a national policy. If something goes wrong, His Majesty's water monkeys, including Tiqi, Duntai Yuanhou, the supervisory censors, The governors of various places and the inspectors of various places can be dispatched to find charitable funds.

After the introduction of work-for-relief, the emperor's family had no food left.

Zhu Qiyu stood up, stretched his waist and said: "Let the inspection department find out where Ye Zhongxing is. I heard that he is from Zhejiang. Xia Shizheng was arrested. The two Zhejiang merchants are hanging in the air. Find him." , Send it to the business manager."

"Xu Chengzong is clear about this kind of matter, just let him do it."

Ye Zhongxing didn't mean to make Caijiabang Duan unfinished. Caijiabang Duan estimated [-] silver coins, but Ye Zhongxing spent [-] silver coins to get it done.

Ye Zhongxing is not incompetent, on the contrary, Ye Zhongxing's ability is very strong.

When Xia Yuanji was ordered by Zhongshu Province to excavate Fanjiabang, the Fan family in Shanghai obstructed Xia Yuanji and others. Xia Yuanji couldn't even recruit people, let alone start work.

Xia Yuanji had no choice but to go to Emperor Gao to file a complaint. Emperor Gao was too lazy to get used to them, and directly copied and erased Fan's name. This matter was scolded by Shilin for more than 600 years.

Is there water in the fields of the common people, and where is it important to have water in the wind pavilions and water pavilions of the houses?

Ye Zhongxing was able to start work, and managed to maintain it for a while, which is not weak.

In the early morning of the next day, Zhu Qiyu changed into his regular clothes and was about to go out. Ran Siniang wanted to stay in bed, but Zhu Qiyu pulled her up.

Three Maos and Nine Peaks is a famous scene in Songjiang Prefecture, and the Daming Soap Factory run by Ran Siniang is located under the Nine Peaks, and the Yiyingguan Factory in Songjiang Prefecture is also here.

A gathering place of people has formed near Songjiang Fuguan Factory, especially noisy, with painted boats humming and drums, overflowing the middle stream, embroidered curtains and thin forks, filling the road one after another.

From Zhu Qiyu to the shipyard to the soap factory, Ran Siniang, as the general manager of the soap factory, explained the soap making very thoroughly.

After leaving the soap factory, Zhu Qiyu and his entourage visited the Songjiang Weaving Bureau. The weaving bureau covers an area of ​​more than a thousand mu, which opened Zhu Qiyu's eyes. Most of the prostitutes in the book apartments of the old Songjiang courtyard were also housed here.

Ran Siniang frowned frequently in this land of Yingying and Yanyan.

After eating at the Weaving Bureau at noon, Zhu Qiyu went to the Lecture Hall, Maritime Hall, and Heroine Hall of Songjiang Mansion.

For dinner, Zhu Qiyu tasted bamboo shoots, a specialty of Sheshan. There are many bamboos in Sheshan, and the bamboo shoots produced have a fragrance of orchids. Sheshan is also called Lansun Mountain.

Li Binyan arranged for a group of senior citizens from Songjiang Mansion to meet him on the shore, and after Zhu Qiyu picked up Wanminbiao, they dispersed.

It can be said that Songjiang Mansion has taken advantage of the right time and place, exuding vitality everywhere, and the vitality of all things competing for development.

After dinner, Zhu Qiyu returned to the place where he was staying, and instead of resting immediately, he went to see Lu Zhong interrogating him.

In fact, Zhu Qiyu has always had a question in his heart.

Xia Shizheng, the Renhe Xia family, has become the head of the two Zhejiang maritime merchants. If there is wind and rain, the Huating Cai family can force Ye Zhongxing to go boating and go out to sea, but they will not go to the Yamen of Songjiang Prefecture to ask Li Binyan for help.

Isn't it good for these guys to make good money?

Why do you have to seek death?

With such doubts in mind, Zhu Qiyu walked into the prison of Songjiang Mansion in ordinary clothes, wanting to hear the deepest thoughts of these guys.

"See Your Majesty!" When Yang Han saw Zhu Qiyu, he was also startled. This cell is a place of pickling. How can His Majesty, who is ninety-five years old, be treated lightly?

Zhu Qiyu signaled to Yang Han that there is no need to be polite, and said with a smile: "No courtesy."

Yang Han knew that His Majesty didn't like to kneel, so he just gave a half-respect. He was in a mess here, and he was completely unprepared. He said with a little panic: "I don't know that Your Majesty is here, and I can't meet him from a distance. I hope that His Majesty will make amends."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, your place is much cleaner than I thought. I thought I could see blood and blood as soon as I entered the door."

"I went to the Weaving Bureau of Songjiang Mansion today. Huang Yanniang has managed the Weaving Bureau of Songjiang Mansion in an orderly manner, which is very good."

Daming's interrogation is now mainly based on attacking the mind, and the warning from the Jiefang Court is the best way to break down the criminal's psychological defense.

Compared with His Majesty's cruelty, the punishment of the five poisons can be said to be the same.

Zhu Qiyu said to Yang Han: "You are busy with your work, I just wander around at will."

Lu Zhong still disliked Yang Han, and guarding against Yang Han was the same as guarding against thieves.

The interrogation continued, and Zhu Qiyu was wearing ordinary clothes, sitting aside, listening to Yang Han's interrogation.

"Xia Shizheng, what are you trying to do by hiding a powerful crossbow armor and colluding with the Xinghai gang?...Follow the truth!" Yang Han sat upright. He was not so polite on weekdays, and he was not very proficient in his lines.

But His Majesty looked at it, it was not easy for him to use the punishment of five poisons.

Xia Shizheng's appearance was not mean, he was even a bit rich and gentle, but his voice was extremely harsh.

Xia Shizheng sneered and said, "I'm unlucky to be caught by you eagle dogs. It's really unlucky anyway, so I'll just say it!"

"Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are the only ones who are cheap."

"You are noble, so don't drink the wine brewed by the merchant, don't wear the clothes made by the merchant, and don't eat the food shipped by the merchant!"

"This Songjiang Mansion has changed three times a day. Farmland has long since disappeared, and it is all cotton fields. In this Songjiang Mansion, most of them are merchants."

"While we are desperately dredging the silted river, what are you doing?"

"While we are trying our best to build the mansion workshop, what are you doing!"

"Eat Lao Tzu's, drink Lao Tzu's, wear Lao Tzu's, live in Lao Tzu's, use Lao Tzu's, go to sea to earn some hard money, and pay taxes, and now I am still arresting Lao Tzu!"

"I see, it's not people's hearts that are cheap! It's not merchants who are cheap! It's the heart in your bones that doesn't treat us businessmen as human beings!"

"Pooh!"

Everyone in the prison of Songjiang Mansion looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Hahaha!" Yang Han is a rough guy, and he couldn't hold back his laughter.

Smiles are contagious, and the entire prison is filled with laughter and joy.

Even if he didn't want to read His Majesty's residence newspaper, Na Qiu Jun, as a scholar-bureaucrat, and as the champion of Jingtai for five years, put forward the labor value theory in "University Yanyi Bu".

Even if you have read the labor theory of value, you can't say such ridiculous words.

Most of the Tiqi in the prison were graduates from the Lecture Hall and Lecture Hall. When they heard Xia Shizheng's pointing at a deer as a horse, they were all surprised and grotesque, and then they leaned forward and back with a smile.

"What are you laughing at! Even the Heavenly King Lao Tzu is here, and this reason is also the same!" Xia Shi's face turned red, and he didn't know what these Ti Qis were laughing at.

Zhu Qiyu stopped smiling. In Daming, he is the only emperor who can be called the king of heaven.

He finally suppressed his smile, these guys always said these things are inconsequential, he smiled and said: "First of all, business status is not a low status, Fei Yiying won the Juren this year, and this year he is also a Jinshi. The reason why the merchants rank at the bottom is that they don’t do production, hoard goods and drive up the price of grain.”

"We ate orchid bamboo shoots today. Sheshan belongs to the imperial court, the farmers pick the bamboo shoots, and the pawn peddlers sell them."

"Whoever went to the city wall yesterday and came back full of tears and covered in silk is not a silkworm farmer."

"Xia Shizheng, let me ask you, the poor build houses for the rich to live in, and the poor weave for the rich to wear. Which brick is the rich move? Which thread is the rich spun?"

Xia Shizheng frowned and looked at the noble man who was speaking, and said suspiciously: "Nonsense! It's just nonsense!"

"Did the goods grow out of the shelves?" Zhu Qiyu asked cheerfully.

Xia Shizheng was speechless for a while, and asked loudly, "I've never seen you before, who are you?"

Zhu Qiyu smiled and said, "Who are we, you ask? That's a good question."

Chapter 679 Jackals, Tigers, and Leopards Eat All Their Flesh!

who am I?

This is an old question, but also a frequently asked one.

Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism have interpreted this issue.

"The Doctrine of the Mean" says: The benevolent is the man.

Confucian scholars have annotated this sentence in the past dynasties, which can be roughly summarized as follows: there are two words next to the word 人, that is, what makes a human being a human must be the corresponding relationship between human beings.

The relationship between the two is father and son, monarch and minister, husband and wife, brother, friend, etc., thus constructing the three cardinal principles and five permanent principles of Confucianism.

"Zhuangzi" said: "You are not a fish, and you know the joy of fish."

"Tao Te Ching" said: I am unique from others, but I value my mother.

In Taoism, what I pursue is to go all out to explore the origin of all things. The world and I are one, and only when we share ourselves with fish can we be open-minded to the joy of fish.

The "Mahaparinirvana Sutra" says: All dharmas have no self, but they are not without self. Who is the self?If the Dharma is real, true, permanent, main, and dependent, and its nature does not change, it is called me.

The Buddha said that the true self is the free self, the self that dominates itself.

As a Roman envoy, Nicolaus once talked about the Temple of Apollo when he was discussing with Hu Wei, the Minister of Rites of the Ming Dynasty.

The oracle of Delphi is engraved on the doorpost of the Temple of Apollo, with a sentence "Know yourself" on the left and a sentence "Do not overdo anything" on the right.

This is a revelation from God.

Throughout ancient and modern China and abroad, the discussion on who I am has never stopped.The sages of human beings of all ages have tirelessly pursued this answer.

I am an identity and a role in society. Throughout my life, I have been completing the answer to the question [who am I], answering this question, and tirelessly exploring myself.

who I am?It's what everyone, every day, is all about waking up to.

Of course, Xia Shizheng at this time was not asking such a profound question, he was simply asking who was questioning him.

In what capacity, what qualifications do you have to question him!

Zhu Qiyu looked at Xing'an, then at Lu Zhong, Yang Han and others, and said with a smile: "I am the emperor you want to assassinate the king."

"Your Majesty?!" Xia Shizheng stood up abruptly, looking at the heroic man in front of him in disbelief, he had never expected to meet him on such an occasion.

Xia Shizheng suddenly came back to his senses, knelt down on the ground suddenly, and shouted hoarsely: "See Your Majesty, Long live Your Majesty, Long live, Long live!"

At this time, the only one who can forgive him is His Majesty.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Xia Shizheng who was kneeling on the ground, and sized him up carefully. He was really not used to this arrogant appearance.

You know, just a moment ago, Xia Shizheng was still holding his head up, talking nonsense with an awe-inspiring look, but now he has become so respectful.

Zhu Qiyu just looked at him like this for a long time before he said: "Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and businessmen are all citizens of the world, and I never treat people with contempt."

"What you call humble is that you despise yourself."

"After the supplementary inspection is over, send it to Jieyuan."

Zhu Qiyu flicked his sleeves, turned around and left the prison. He somewhat understood what these people were thinking. To be exact, what Ran Siniang said was right. Ran Siniang said that they were sick because of external evils entering their bodies and suffering from epilepsy.

Really crazy.

They were indeed rich in material, and their lives were luxurious enough. The literati sang songs of praise for them, and even after their death, there were famous scholars and scholars who compiled epitaphs for them.

The brilliance and beauty of these appearances gradually made them lose themselves.

These "external evils" are like whitewashed tombs, which look good on the outside, but inside are full of dead people's bones, full of decay and erosion.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Forgive me, Your Majesty!" Xia Shi was yelling at the top of his lungs. He was like crazy, trying to catch the back of the emperor leaving. The two tyrants pressed him, and he almost broke free .

"Caomin was confused for a moment, Caomin was also deceived by the slut, please forgive me, Your Majesty!"

"I beg your majesty to be merciful!"

Xia Shizheng's voice was so loud that it spread far and far in the prison, all the officials and workers ignored it and followed His Majesty out of the prison.

When sent to Jiejieyuan, they will be poured with a bowl of ecstasy soup. Of course, the Taiyuan Hospital and Jiejieyuan call it Mabosan, which is concocted from Luma poured from his family.

Folks call the ecstasy soup Mengpo soup.

After eating a bowl of Mengpo soup, the past and present lives are all gone, that is, I have completely lost my concept, and since then, I have been in a daze.

who I am?It is probably the meaning of waking up every day in life, and the inmates of the Assault Court who don't know where they are are probably deprived of this kind of power. Even if they are awake for a short time, they probably feel extremely regretful.
