Chapter 69 Things Always Change
Chapter 69 Things always change
When the world is stable, people's original living habits will come back.
No matter how Yushan Academy, Yushan University Hall, various academies and various government agencies educate the people, strong living habits will still dominate their lives and behaviors.
Wars, famines, and these emergencies will only disrupt their living order. In these years, the Ming people seemed to be able to accept everything and compromise on everything, including the funny White Lotus Sect, Maitreya, or Li Hongji's policy of not paying food, and Yun Zhao's national policy of the whole world.
If the situation is a little worse, it is not unacceptable to be ruled by alien races.
When the world is peaceful, old living habits will come back.
The Ming people had a strong ability to accept. After Yun Zhao won, they accepted the political propositions put forward by Yun Zhao, followed Yun Zhao's rule, and accepted Yun Zhao's approach to social reform.
However, there are too many living habits passed down for thousands of years. Yun Zhao's proposition is just a new proposition. If you accept it, you accept it. If you change it, you will change it. This is no big deal.
Just like Buddhism, like Christianity, like Islam, when you come in, you come in, it's no big deal.
A huge ethnic group that has been passed down for thousands of years, nothing that cannot be integrated and nothing that cannot be accepted.
Therefore, Yun Zhao discovered that the Ming people did not follow the script he wrote, but merged his script and gave him a new script and asked him to follow the script.
This is very funny.
However, Yun Zhao couldn't laugh at all.
Because, today's Ming Dynasty is likely to become a new feudal dynasty with highly developed industries? Civilization is highly developed and the people are actively and enterprising.
It is a node in the long-term development of the feudal dynasty.
It is difficult for people to believe it? Those great scholars who are well-versed in ancient and modern times? There is no psychological obstacle to the extremely shameful and insulting personality of bowing to Yun Zhao, and take this matter for granted.
Yun Zhao doesn't need anyone to kneel down? Even ordered the etiquette of kneeling down. However, when some great scholars in Henan knelt at Yun Zhao's feet to worship the books of disaster relief for all people? No matter how Yun Zhao stopped them, they still knelt down according to the strict etiquette format, and did not give up their behavior just because Zhang Xiu was blocked or Yun Zhao stopped.
The man kneeled all over the ground...
What can Yun Zhao do?
If he kneel down, he returns the etiquette to others? Believe it or not, these people can commit suicide on the spot?
Don't doubt, there are really people like this!
The only thing Yun Zhao could do was to help these people up one by one, thank them with a smile, and invite the oldest person to enter his carriage? That is, the imperial carriage drinks and talks.
Those who are not old enough respectfully hold their hands in front of their chests? They stand smiling in the cold wind, waiting for the emperor and the elderly to chat and laugh in the imperial carriage? They are satisfied with listening to every laughter from the imperial carriage.
"Duke Hengchen is 81 years old this year? I am still so healthy? It's so gratifying."
"Report to Your Majesty? The old minister has served as the people's representative for two terms. Although he is old and stupid over the years, he still does something that is beneficial to the country and the people. Therefore, he has served as the third term of representative, hoping to live and see the prosperity come."
"I heard that the flooding of the Yellow River this time is a natural disaster, not a man-made disaster. However, in my opinion, when the natural disaster comes, there will definitely be man-made disasters. I wonder if Hengchen Gong has discovered that there is an illegal act?"
The old man laughed and said, "The empire has its own rules. If there is a department, it will naturally deal with illegal affairs. In Henan, I only saw officials and people dating like a family. I only felt that the department was responsible for their own responsibilities. The order was in order. Although there were major disasters, it was orderly.
I should praise it and congratulate it."
Yun Zhao sighed and said, "It's not as good as Hengchen Gong said. The casualties and injuries are still heavy, and the losses are still heavy."
The old man stroked his beard and said, "That's because His Majesty has too high demands on them. I heard that the flood caused the death and injuries of officials in this flood were the highest in history. This is the only thing that the people in Henan will only respect officials.
Your Majesty should know that this time the Yellow River floodplain was seen once a thousand years, but the damage to life is not even as good as the usual disaster year. Although the people are displaced, they are only living in the wild for a month. In this month, food and fodder are endless, and the officials are working hard day and night.
My husband's house in Yangsuo was also destroyed by floods, but the family was all there, and the court's subsidies were also issued in full, and even received five kilograms of food rewarded by His Majesty.
Money is nothing but something outside of your body. As long as the world is peaceful, you will come back sooner or later.
The official also said that the flood was once a thousand years. Although it caused heavy losses to Henan, it also reorganized the Henan land. From then on, the manors in Henan land will only be built above the waterline, so that they can ensure that they have no worries for thousands of years.
Your Majesty, this flood damages only crops, fields, and courtyards, but they have not damaged any of the people's hearts. This is a rare matter. The old minister congratulates you."
Yun Zhao and Mr. Hengchen drank wine in the carriage for half an hour, and the people outside the carriage stood up for half an hour. Until Yun Zhao helped the old man down from the carriage, these people drove him away from the emperor's carriage.
When the old man left, Han Lingshan got into Yun Zhao's carriage, picked up the wine pot and took a sip of the wine and said, "As you said, the Ming Dynasty is not moving forward now, but is retreating, even worse than our founding period.
When all these old guys die, the teenagers may have some changes when they grow up.
I am a little impressed by your vision of doing your best to achieve universal education."
"I'm afraid you are among the people who let me leave Yushan, right?"
Han Lingshan took another sip of wine and refused to speak.
"I'm anxious, but you think I'm not doing my job all day long. From today on, I'm not in a hurry. After I really become the kind of emperor who is the same as Chongzhen, you are unlucky, not me."
Han Lingshan ate a bite and said, "You're going to kill a few important people. Maybe they will wake up."
"Who will kill first?"
"Peng Qi looks very suitable for being killed."
"Because he divorced Zhao Guoxiu?"
"Yes, Lao Zhao asked me to drink all night last night, which made me feel distressed. A minister-level senior official was actually divorced."
"Nonsense, if I were Peng Qi, I would also divorce Zhao Guoxiu."
"Huh? Why?"
"I have been married for three years, and I have been together for less than two months. I have sex with only two hands. Zhao Guoxiu is not old yet. Divorce is necessary. Let me tell you, this is the new atmosphere of the dynasty."
"Huh? What you mean is that I can send your girl back to your house? Anyway, it's a new atmosphere, so I'll do it again."
Yun Zhao rolled Han Lingshan with his eyes and said, "You try it!"
"I understand. Putting it on someone is a new atmosphere, and putting it on you is a great rebellion, right?"
"That's right!"
"Your Majesty is shameless now and doesn't even bother to cover it up."
"When I really become a feudal emperor, my shamelessness will make you feel it clearly in your dreams."
Yun Zhao used to worry that his throne would be lost, but after a year of observation, he keenly discovered that he had become a symbol of the Ming Dynasty, and any behavior that he wanted to replace would eventually be swallowed up by the saliva of all the people.
He used to underestimate the power of the people and always thought that he was fighting alone. Now he understood that he was the most powerful person in the world. This image was created by all the officials of the Lantian Dynasty and has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
The large group of people left the Yellow Flood Zone, and Yun Zhao finally saw a real scene of the Ming Dynasty.
This is no longer the prosperous era in Guanzhong that he has carved for many years, nor the appearance of the aftermath of the Yellow River Flood, but the most realistic scene of the Ming Dynasty.
There are still low grass houses on both sides of the road, and the farmers are still working in the fields of late autumn, cutting cabbage, digging sweet potatoes, digging potatoes, cutting down the fruitless corn poles, and then carrying them back into bundles.
The emperor's car arrived, and the people knelt respectfully in the fields, not afraid or ran away, but quietly knelt there waiting for their emperor to leave so that they could continue their lives.
Yun Zhao got off the frame and entered the field. At this moment, he didn't think a large iron cone would fall from the sky and smash his head.
"What are you doing on your knees? It's best to live your own life."
Yun Zhao spoke and helped an old farmer up, but all the strength of the old farmer was drained by Emperor Yun Zhao's identity. After standing up, he sat on the ground with a thud.
It was not until he was supported by two guards that Yun Zhao said to the old farmer: "Go to your house and have a look."
Perhaps the smile on Yun Zhao's face made the old farmer's sense of fear disappear, and he bowed repeatedly and said, "The family is buried..."
The local village chief Wen Yan said to the old farmer: "Zhang Wu, Your Majesty is just to see your family background, just lead the way."
Yun Zhao walked into the homes of a truly ordinary people for the first time.
Although he had repeatedly lowered his expectations and came to Zhang Wu's house, he was still very disappointed.
Fortunately, there were five or six chickens in the yard surrounded by adobe walls, two sheep tied to a small pear tree, two pigs in the pigpen, and a black donkey with a white mouth in the cattle shed.
But the house was so dilapidated, and there was also a fool wearing a black cotton jacket leaning on the door frame and smiling at Yun Zhao.
After entering the low house, a smell of moldyness that was unique to the thatched house was blowing. Yun Zhao did not cover his mouth and nose, and insisted on checking Zhang Wu's noodle cabinet and rice jar.
The noodle cabinet is corn flour, and the rice jar is filled with millet. There are not many, but there are.
"Your Majesty, the Zhang Wu family is already a wealthy family here, and there are not as many farmers as the Zhang Wu family's life."
Logically speaking, Zhang Wu's family should be Zhang Wu to introduce their family's situation. In the past, Yun Zhao followed the leader to the countryside and this was the process. Unfortunately, Zhang Wu's face had long been red as red cloth. In the cold days of late autumn, his head was steaming like steaming, and the inner child had to go into battle by himself.
“Is there enough food?”
"Your Majesty distributed five kilograms of grain to the subjects of the world according to their heads. Although the food was not much, it played a great role."
"What kind of food is distributed?"
"Mill, Your Majesty, five pounds of millet, a full five pounds of millet."
Yun Zhao turned around and looked at Zhang Guozhu who looked at the roof and said, "You lied to me. The one I sent to me was Maizi, but I didn't expect that even the people would cheat!"
