When the sky collapses and the earth breaks, he will never hide or leave until he dies, and he will still be in a glorious place.

He has no advice on the people's miserable life like hell, just be their "Yan Sheng Gong".

The newspapers continuously criticized Confucius' descendants. The meaning behind the "Ming Forum", which represents the emperor's will, is obvious.

Launching a public opinion offensive first has always been the emperor's trick. Since the emperor's meaning has been clear, who dares to go against the wind and provoke it?

Kong Yanzhi, the contemporary Yansheng Gong, finally couldn't sit still and made a statement to defend himself. However, the emperor did not reply, but instead bet.

The civil and military officials in the court did not dare to argue for Kong Yanzhi. The facts were there, and the emperor did not want to overthrow Confucius, but was dissatisfied with his descendants.

Compared with his criticism of the descendants of the Kong family, the emperor also took out money to renovate the Confucian Temple, which was a kind of domination.

Finally, Kong Yanzhi submitted a memorial to resign. The emperor was happy this time and quickly approved the approval.

The title of Yansheng Gong was cancelled, and Kong Yanzhi was renamed the title of Dacheng Supreme Saint Master to worship the officials. At this point, the iron rice bowl that had been passed down for six or seven hundred years, Yansheng Gong was declared to be over.

The goal was achieved, and the emperor published an article in the newspaper, titled "For the country and the people, spread forever", which put an end to the suppression of the Kong family.

Confucius was Confucius, and his descendants were descendants. Qin Hui was infamous for all ages, but his grandson was heroic in resisting the Jin Dynasty. Fan Zhongyan admired him for all generations, but his descendants had Fan Wencheng, a great traitor.

The emperor also expressed his preferences and thoughts through this article. He made contributions to the country, shared peace and woe, and worked for the welfare of the people. Such people and such officials are what the court needs and must vigorously advocate.

Otherwise, no matter how glorious your ancestors are, you will not be allowed to enjoy it on the credit book of ancestors.

"Long live--" Yuan Keli, who returned to his hometown in Henan after retiring, shook his head and smiled bitterly. He was speechless and used to what the emperor student did.

There are always deviant actions, but they are thoughtful and well-behaved, whether it is the time or the reason.

Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Yuan Keli turned to the butler and asked, "How is the purchased grain? When will it be shipped?"

The housekeeper hurriedly bowed and said, "Go back to the master, according to the itinerary, I should go ashore. I can't say for the specific day."

After pausing, the housekeeper added: "It was carried by the Yangtze River Chamber of Commerce and has a good reputation. Besides, they dare not treat the prime minister perfunctorily."

Humph, Yuan Keli gently patted the table and said, "I have said it twice, so I am not allowed to call him Prime Minister again."

"Yes, yes." The housekeeper hurriedly smiled and said, "Don't calm down."

Yuan Keli waved his hand, got up and walked to the window, looked at the flowerbed outside, and sighed: "The major disaster was indeed a big disaster. Several provinces have caused disasters. It is really not easy to maintain national stability!"

The housekeeper nodded vigorously and said, "Not there are people who are worried about the country and the people like the master. If they work together, they can always survive the difficult times."

Yuan Keli shook his head and said, "If you don't have enough meager power to receive the court, you will feel uneasy. Besides, it's for your hometown. It's not considered a blessing, it's just for them to have enough food and clothing."

History has completely changed, but nature is still developing according to its original trajectory, showing the power of a major disaster.

In the seventh year of the Tianqi period, there was a severe drought in northern Shaanxi;

In the tenth year of the Apocalypse, there was a severe drought in the whole province of Shaanxi;

In the 11th year of the Apocalypse, Henan suffered a severe drought;

In the 12th year of the Apocalypse, Shanxi suffered a severe drought;

The arid areas are advancing from east to south, the old arid areas continue, and the new arid areas appear every year.

The court was making every effort to provide disaster relief, and local governments continued to transport grain and store grain. There was Mekong Province, Jiangnan, newly occupied Myanmar land, and grain purchased from overseas. As long as it could be transported to the disaster area, there would be no major turmoil.

In other words, if there is food, it is mainly difficult to transport. If it is transported by sea to Zhigu, the river will travel through the Yangtze River, and the land will be transported by relay, so the civil servants will basically not leave the province.

In addition to the court, officials, gentry, landlords and merchants were also mobilized to join the action of purchasing and storing grain. The emperor made a message that they could make some profits from it, but the range must be strictly controlled.

In other words, you can make money by selling food, but raising prices or hoarding goods is illegal and criminal, and you will be severely punished.

It has become a consensus that the government and the people act together to fight against natural disasters. Under the emperor's power, who dares to betray, behead, and exile are waiting for you.

The successive droughts have made the Yangtze River water transportation the main way to transport grain.

The Yangtze River Chamber of Commerce has been supported and commended by the court for this reason. Making money is important, but the leaders of the Yangtze River Chamber of Commerce are more concerned about social status and a brighter future.

Following the Governor of Luzon, Pontianak Governor Yan Siqi also took office, and the Lord of Tambasi Lin Tiansheng was appointed by the court.

Although the Yangtze River Chamber of Commerce is a mainland business, it has contacts with the Maritime Business Association. They have also set their sights on overseas foundations and actively invested in the "Huaxia Longteng" company.

The salt merchant, who had huge wealth in his hand but had his financial resources cut off by the salt administration reform, began to divert his attention and devote his money to it, thinking of getting a lord or governor Dangdang.

Although the disaster continued, the activity level within the Ming Empire was even better than before. The movement of funds and personnel became active, greatly alleviating the difficulties of the lower-class people.

Immigration work has been carried out in an orderly manner, with the call of "the farmer has his own land". Northeast, Dongfan, Hainan, Mekong, Qiantao and other areas are constantly absorbing migrant people and accelerating development and construction.

The labor-for-relief continued to be implemented in the disaster area, including roads, bridges, water conservancy facilities, urban construction, and large-scale paving of plate-rail railways, so that the people in the disaster area have work and food to eat, and the society can maintain stability.

And all these are unique in history. If it weren’t for the emperor’s preparations or the hard-line arrangement, it would be hard to imagine the chaos of major disasters and social turmoil.

Therefore, when the disaster came as scheduled and became more intense, the emperor's prestige was greatly improved.

Similarly, the performance of local officials was also examined during major disasters. Experts emerged, while mediocre people were deposed and punished.

Moreover, even when he was fully responding to major disasters, the emperor's expansion plan did not interrupt or stop. Transferring contradictions and plundering wealth became an effective means to alleviate major disasters.

After more than two years of preparation, the Southwest chieftains are about to launch a new round of military operations. This time, their goal is set in India in South Asia.
