The first thousand one hundred and fifty-four chapters
Zhu Youjian looked at Wang Chengen for a long time before closing his eyes helplessly. As soon as his eyelids closed, the tears in his eyes almost flowed out.
Wang Chengen looked at Zhu Youjian's expression and gradually couldn't cry anymore. He was lying outside the threshold with a mournful face, as if the sky was falling and he could do nothing, and he seemed to have unspeakable vicissitudes of life.
After a long time, Zhu Youjian opened his eyes. There were no tears in his eyes, but there was more determination in his eyes. He said to Wang Chengen: "Wang Chengen, you are too persistent."
Wang Chengen raised his head and said with his eyes open: "I...I..."
Zhu Youjian stopped looking at Wang Chengen and turned his head to Li Zhi.
Li Zhi looked at Zhu Youjian curiously, wondering what the deposed emperor of the Ming Dynasty would say.
After a long time, Zhu Youjian sighed and said slowly: "The sinner Zhu Youjian has stayed in this house for three years, but he has seen that the scene in this town is different day by day. I just came here three years ago
At that time, the farmers didn't have enough to eat, and they were all like beggars. But now during the holidays, farmers from the countryside have begun to come to the town to buy meat and pull cloth to make clothes. In the past few months, several farmers have come to buy wine.
.”
“The shops in the town used to be shabby, with seven or eight shops selling only four or five kinds of things. But now they sell more and more kinds of things, including cakes, high-quality wheat seeds, farm tools, and even mutton.
Some shops have also begun to renovate their facades, turning the original dilapidated wooden houses into brick houses."
"There are more and more literate people in the town, and there are primary school students in every house, and there are even several middle school students. When the villages below the town installed water trucks, the county did not send engineers at all, only a few instructions.
Those middle school students just looked at the instructions and led the villagers to install the water tanker. Later, they even figured out how to use it."
"In the past, this was something that would have been unimaginable."
"Now the townspeople in the town admire the Qi court very much. When the court posts official documents in the town, the common people gather around to read them. No one can say anything bad about it. If someone says something bad about the court, they will definitely be punished.
The rest of the crowd attacked and cursed."
After hearing Zhu Youjian's words, Li Zhi was thoughtful and said nothing.
Zhu Youjian sighed and said: "It's really different. I went out several times when I was in Beijing. The depression in the countryside...all the industries are in ruins...when the famine comes, Guanyin soil can't be found."
"Everything is different now."
"Now that even Europe has been conquered, in the future the wealth of Europe will also belong to the Han people."
Sighing, Zhu Youjian shook his head and said: "Who would have dared to think? The Han people who were like sheep under the Tatar butcher's knife could become so pioneering and enterprising? Really, really dare not think."
After a pause, Zhu Youjian said: "It's really amazing."
Li Zhi nodded and said: "It's indeed amazing. I feel amazing sometimes. I didn't even expect that this nation is so powerful."
Hearing Li Zhi's words, Zhu Youjian suddenly smiled. Li Zhi admitted that he was not omniscient and omnipotent, and that he also had unexpected things. This matter made Zhu Youjian very relieved. It was as if one person had been competing with another person for a long time,
After a crushing defeat, I suddenly discovered that my opponent also had shortcomings, and I suddenly felt relieved.
Zhu Youjian shook his head and smiled again.
He closed his eyes for a while and seemed to finally make up his mind.
Zhu Youjian said one word at a time: "These things Da Qi has done are beyond the capabilities of the previous imperial court. These achievements Da Qi has achieved are unprecedented. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you are the only emperor in the world."
Everyone knows it.”
Wang Chengen, who was outside the threshold, raised his head again and groaned: "Master..."
Zhu Youjian didn't look at Wang Chengen, and was silent for a while, and finally said: "I have been thinking about it for three years and finally figured it out."
"It is destiny and a matter of course for Da Qi to replace Da Qi. Da Qi is already in ruins and no one can save him, so he should be replaced by Da Qi. The world of Da Qi is not usurped, it is the hope of the people and the destiny of Heaven."
As soon as Zhu Youjian said these words, he completely recognized the greatness of the Qi Dynasty. Li Zhi did not harm Zhu Youjian, and did not even monitor and control him. However, the emperor did not give him any threats when no one threatened him.
, proactively recognized the legitimacy of Da Qi's replacement of Ming Dynasty.
This sentence will definitely go down in the history books. Even if later generations of literati wanted to call Li Zhi a traitor and traitor, they would still be choked by Zhu Youjian's words and unable to speak out.
Even Zhu Youjian recognized the correctness of Li Zhi's change of dynasty. Who else has the right to scold Li Zhi?
When Wang Chengen on the ground heard these words, his body suddenly relaxed, and his movements that had been frozen on the ground suddenly became loose. He lowered his head feebly, as if he had lost all his pride and persistence in an instant.
Li Laosi was also surprised that Zhu Youjian spoke so thoroughly. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Youjian. After looking at Zhu Youjian, he looked at Li Zhi again.
Li Zhi looked at Zhu Youjian quietly and said nothing.
Li Zhi didn't have any happy or happy expression. After all, Li Zhi had defeated Europe and was not far away from ruling the world. Although it is difficult to manage the world with the communication technology of this era, Daqi's political system has been in a long time.
It is estimated that there was a loose decentralization system during that time, with power decentralized to the regional governors, but Li Zhi was the top decision-maker anyway. For Li Zhi, Zhu Youjian's attitude had little impact on the Qi Dynasty.
After a long time, Li Zhi said: "You finally figured it out."
Nodding, Li Zhi said: "I'm very happy that you can relate."
"What do you want?"
Zhu Youjian smiled and said: "The common people have no requirements. It's good like this now."
After hearing this, Li Zhi looked at the medical skills on the bookshelf and asked calmly: "Have you gained anything from studying these medical books?"
Zhu Youjian sighed and said: "As I get older, I can no longer memorize these medical books. Even if I can barely memorize them, I can't always remember them when writing prescriptions."
Li Zhi looked at Wang Chengen, then at Zhu Youjian, and asked: "Now that more and more people are literate, helping people write letters is not a long-term solution. What will you master and servant do in the future?"
Zhu Youjian was stunned.
Looking blankly at the courtyard door outside, Zhu Youjian said: "Common people are sinners. They can live one day at a time, and I won't think about him in the future."
Li Zhi asked: "I heard that you still have three children who are underage. When these children grow up, their expenses will increase. How can they be supported by your wives and concubines as female celebrities?"
Hearing these words, Zhu Youjian had a bitter look on his face and sighed helplessly.
Li Zhi nodded and said: "Actually, there are plenty of quotas for overseas colonization. Every Han Chinese who signs up for overseas colonization can get one hundred acres of wheat land overseas. The imperial court also lends seeds, grain, farm tools and machinery to those who open up wasteland.
Immigrate, provide technology, and ensure the success of overseas colonization."
Zhu Youjian raised his head in surprise and looked at Li Zhi.
Li Zhi thought for a while and said: "Zhu Youjian! You can go to southern Australia to be a landowner and manage dozens of local brown-skinned indigenous people. I think this is also a way out."
