"Little boy, you are good at reading. These ten taels of silver are enough for you to use for a year or two. You must study hard!"
Ni Yuanlu said with a smile, and then took out ten taels of silver and gave it to the young man.
The young man refused directly and said: "A man should strengthen himself. A man should stand between heaven and earth. He should fight with heaven and earth. He must rely on himself for everything. He will never accept their favor!"
kindness!
Ni Yuanlu was shocked at the young man's words. He didn't expect to be taught a lesson by an eleven or twelve-year-old boy today.
However, this lesson is of great significance to me. Most of my life has been in vain!
He shook his head with a wry smile, took back the ten taels of silver, and then left with the people. When passing by the magistrate's Yamen, he saw people surrounding the magistrate's Yamen.
The prefect couldn't bear it any longer, so he asked the police officers to arrest all these troublemaking literati, expecting that they would receive more rebuke and resistance!
Unexpectedly, he received a huge round of applause, and the prefect was stunned. He knew how capable these literati were at inciting people.
Why are these people not only not applauding those literati, but actually applauding their actions!
"People, what are you doing?"
The prefect looked puzzled.
"Sir! These people dare to curse His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of the government. Even if they are all killed, that would not be an exaggeration!"
"Mr. Magistrate, these people should have been arrested long ago. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so wise that he can only praise him. How can he allow these people to openly slander him!"
"Well done! If I were the prefect, I would definitely give each of them a hundred blows to see if they dare to slander His Highness the Crown Prince in the future!"
The people were all angry.
The prefect was stunned on the spot. How could these people be so sensible?
Besides, Ni Yuanlu, after inspecting the granary in Jianning Prefecture, returned to the capital with his people, and then sent a large number of officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs to inspect the granary elsewhere.
Then, he entered the palace and reported the matter to Emperor Chongzhen.
At this time, in the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the pile of memorials in front of him with a sad look on his face.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about killing Li Xiuyuan again?
Let me tell you, you don’t need to be so concerned about this matter. With His Royal Highness here, who can make a difference?"
Wang Chengen advised from the side.
"Alas! You don't understand. Nowadays, all the literati in the world are going to fall out. I know the ability of these people to stir up people's hearts. If they continue to make trouble, the Ming Dynasty will be turned upside down!"
Emperor Chongzhen said angrily.
"Your Majesty, how about you make another decree to shock me?"
Wang Chengen said in a deep voice.
"Haha! This decree has caused such a big sensation. If I issue another decree, won't those people jump up and find trouble for me?"
Emperor Chongzhen said coldly.
"Your Majesty! Ni Yuanlu, the Minister of Household Affairs, wants to see you."
At this time, a eunuch came in and reported.
"kindness?
Ni Yuanlu is back from inspecting the granary. If he didn't go to see Fan'er, why would he come to see me?"
Emperor Chongzhen said doubtfully.
Wang Chengen said with a smile: "Haha! Your Majesty, this Ni Yuanlu is the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue after all. In his heart, he must respect your Majesty!"
"That's all! Ni Yuanlu has done her duty, let him come over!"
Emperor Chongzhen said.
After a while, Ni Yuanlu was brought in.
"Your Majesty, Ni Yuanlu, has met you!"
Ni Yuanlu said respectfully.
Emperor Chongzhen looked at Ni Yuanlu and said: "Ai Qing, what did you gain from inspecting the granary this time?"
"Your Majesty, thanks to the help of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Third Prince, after killing several officials, the rest of the trip went very smoothly!"
"The granaries in various places are rich, and I have also ordered that some of them be transferred from the granaries in various places and sent to the Chang'an granary!"
Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice.
"Haha! This is a good thing. Food is the foundation of the people in the world, and they must be rich!"
Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile.
In previous years, most of the officials sent out to inspect the granaries came back without success. Fan'er only killed a few officials, but it had such a miraculous effect. It was really amazing!
"kindness?
Your Majesty, I see you have so many memorials in front of you and your face is full of sorrow, but what difficulties have you encountered?"
Ni Yuanlu looked at Emperor Chongzhen in confusion and asked.
"Oh! Ni Aiqing, you have just returned to the capital, so you probably don't know about this yet. The killing of Li Xiuyuan is about to cause a mutiny!"
Emperor Chongzhen sighed and said.
"Your Majesty, if you are worried about this matter, there is no need to do so. This mutiny will never happen. The disturbance of this matter will soon subside!"
Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice.
"kindness?
Ni Aiqing, could it be that the prince had some idea to suppress this matter?"
Emperor Chongzhen asked.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, His Highness the Prince did nothing, but the common people did it. His Highness the Prince popularized writing and the common people learned to read!"
"After reading books, their minds will be broadened and they will have their own opinions. They will not be easily bewitched or incited by literati. Therefore, no matter what literati do, they will not change the patriotism of the people!"
"Your Majesty, when I came back, I saw an eleven or twelve-year-old boy scolding several literati until they were speechless!"
Ni Yuanlu said, recounting what she saw and heard in Jianning City.
After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen immediately clapped his hands and applauded!
"Okay! I didn't expect that the popular text Fan'er would have such wonderful benefits. Those literati's tricks of inciting people's hearts will no longer be used!"
Emperor Chongzhen said.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen proposes that the Ministry of Rites compile more books quickly, compile all the Four Books and Five Classics into simplified Chinese characters, print them into volumes, and send them to libraries everywhere!"
"At the same time, these books can also be sold on the market. As long as the price is cheaper, I believe many people will be willing to buy them!"
Ni Yuanlu said in a deep voice.
"Okay! Ni Aiqing, your proposal is very good. Let's do it according to your wishes!"
Emperor Chongzhen said.
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Ni Yuanlu accepted the order, and after leaving the palace, she went to Lin Fan's mansion.
At this time, Lin Fan was reading with Nalan Yanran. He compiled a bedtime story for Nalan Yanran, and Nalan Yanran liked it very much.
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Ni Yuanlu, the Minister of Household Affairs, would like to see you."
The servants report.
"kindness?
Is Ni Yuanlu back?
Let him come over, I just have something to ask him!"
Lin Fan said in a deep voice.
Nalan Yanran pouted. If Lin Fan wanted to see Ni Yuanlu, she would have no choice but to avoid it.
Lin Fan pinched Nalan Yanran's waist gently, and Nalan Yanran let out a soft sound, stepped on Lin Fan's feet hard, and then left.
