After Wang Guorui announced his withdrawal from the court, all the proposals discussed at the court just now were gradually sent to the localities through telegrams. But now telegrams are convenient, and wireless telegraphy has become popular all over the world, so telegrams can be issued soon. It takes less than three hours for local officials across the country to know any decisions and orders from the central government. up. And if necessary, preparations can be made to announce the policies within 24 hours, and then the policies can be announced the next day.

These policies were originally to be submitted to the parliament for deliberation, but the parliament has not yet been established, so everything can be passed directly. And when everyone heard the central government's decision, the people in Quanzhou and Taipei also felt a little lost.

"Why didn't the emperor set up Quanzhou as a municipality directly under the central government? This way we will really have face when we say it in the future. This is the birthplace of the real dragon emperor!" Some Quanzhou people said disappointedly.

In ancient China, there has always been an idea of ​​returning home after being rich. Wasn’t it because Xiang Yu didn’t return home because of being rich, like the nursery rhyme of Jin Yi’s night walk, he was forced to move the capital back to his hometown immediately, which finally laid the foundation for his failure to a certain extent. Later, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang even went too far. He originally planned to ignore the situation and directly locate Fengyang as the capital, and even allocated funds to build it for several years. In the end, it had to be forced by the situation, and the capital was set in Nanjing. And this kind of situation of returning home after being rich, even in later generations, is not uncommon. Some people even slapped their faces swollen to make them fat, and then borrowed some luxury car or something to go back to their hometown. In the end, not only did they lose their money, but they also gained face.

However, as a native of the emperor's hometown, they naturally feel that they have a bright face, and feel that they have a different status and are a native of the emperor's hometown. According to the usual officials, the emperor's hometown or the land of Longxing would be used to improve their treatment and rank, but now Wang Guorui not only does not promote their status, but rejects it. This made many people in Quanzhou not understand. Obviously feeling unhappy, thinking that the emperor Wang Guorui didn't pay much attention to his hometown.

"Fellow folks, the emperor is the emperor of the people of the world, not the emperor of Quanzhou people. The emperor said that the whole of China is their hometown. It's not just Quanzhou that is his hometown. Although Quanzhou is the place where he was born, but As the lord of a country, one must have the world in mind, not just take care of the people of Quanzhou. And the emperor also ordered it. It was the people of Quanzhou who supported him to grow up, so naturally he couldn’t have nothing in return. So the emperor paid 50,000 yuan out of his own pocket to give to the old man Those who are young, sick, disabled, widowed, widowed and lonely are given subsidies. And those who are unemployed can also be sent to participate in vocational skills training. It can be regarded as a craft to make a living, and it can be regarded as a reward for Quanzhou, which gave birth to the emperor.”

Some scholars who thought they were educated began to discuss, and then said: "It's only 50,000 yuan? I thought I could be promoted to Yingtianfu? I didn't expect that Quanzhou is still Quanzhou, and there is no change. If it can be promoted to Yingtianfu, then this When we take the civil servant examination next time, we can also obtain the proportion according to the provincial level, so that our chances of passing the examination will be greater!"

He obviously thought that if he was promoted to Ying Tianfu. Then when the civil servants are tested, they can take the imperial examinations as in the past and get more proportions. But now Wang Guorui has not been promoted to Yingtianfu, so those local literati in Quanzhou think that they are at a loss, and even think that Wang Guorui has treated his hometown people badly.

"It's only 50,000 yuan. The emperor's net worth is extremely huge. It's only 50,000 yuan. And it's only one time. If it is promoted to Yingtian Mansion, then the continuous investment in the future will be huge. Back then, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang gave it to Fengyang. The people all gave a lot of good things, and even the people of Fengyang will be blessed in the future. Everyone has no worries about food and clothing, and enjoys it very much. Even if those court officials starve to death in other places, they dare not let the people of Fengyang starve Die! But this time the emperor only gave no more than 50,000 yuan, and only those who are old, weak, sick, and disabled. There are also widows and lonely people who can get it. And the people can only make a living by themselves, and they cannot get the rice grain distributed by the court. , what a loss!"

Obviously, some people think that since Wang Guorui is from Quanzhou, he should give more benefits to the people of Quanzhou after he becomes rich, rather than a one-time investment of 50,000 yuan. These fifty thousand yuan. It's just a drizzle, and it's simply incomparable to those who invested in Longxing Land in the past.

However, another literati came over and said: "IM content! You know that some low-level officials are also talking about the current emperor. They talk about the current emperor not from Quanzhou, but from Shanxi."

"What do you mean?" Someone asked.

"It's really picky!" The literati said, and then continued to explain: "Do you know how much the current queen's monthly bill is? It's only 20 yuan, and the real income depends on the position held by the queen. .It’s true that the queen has to work to earn money by herself, how decent is that?”

"That's right! The majestic queen can't enjoy the worship of all the people, and she has to work to earn money by herself. The emperor is really too picky, isn't he?" What about the side clans of the court! The emperor treats concubines and princes like this, it is really stingy. If he is so stingy to his own family, how about it to us, the folks who have nothing to do with it?"

But in the end someone came over and said: "You should stop talking a few words. Although the court will not blame you for your comments now, but you should stop complaining about the emperor. It is true that the emperor can do this. You are so wise! If you give the empress and concubine the qualification to support all the people in the world, isn’t that what you get for nothing? The emperor said that all people in the world have to work. If you don’t work, how can you earn income to survive? Even he, the emperor, is also a laborer. It’s just that this rice bowl is an iron rice bowl, but it also requires work. If you don’t work and enjoy the support of all the people in the world for no reason, why? Could it be that just because he is the emperor’s woman, he can be eligible for the support of all the people? At that time, don't countless women all hope to enter the queen's palace?"

"So the emperor is good. If all the people in the world support their families, what is the difference between them and those Eight Banners? Didn't they all raise pigs at that time? At that time, the royal family could reap the harvest by sitting alone. Then one by one gets something for nothing, so what’s the point? Once the generations go down, can’t they just sit and eat? How big is the burden on the people of the world? The emperor is doing well this time. If you don’t work, you will have no income. If you don’t work, you will have no income. In the future, those princes and princes will also have to work in various departments, or work in the royal industry, in order to be able to get the royal annuity. Otherwise, they will not be able to get it."

"And how can we get the support of all the people in the world? When the emperor conquered the world, what strength did we exert? When fighting against foreign enemies, did we ever kill an enemy? Neither killed the enemy nor exerted any strength. Then why do we need to be rewarded? How many people in Quanzhou have served as soldiers? I'm afraid there are not many? So why does the emperor give us something for nothing?"

"But, the emperor is from Quanzhou after all!"

"Then Hong Chengchou is also from Quanzhou!"

Now everyone was embarrassed, because not only Wang Guorui was from Quanzhou, but also Hong Chengchou, who made great contributions to the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, was also from Quanzhou! And Hong Chengchou is recognized as a great traitor, and Wang Guorui listed his work as a key figure in the biography of traitors and wrote the content in "Records of Qing Zhan".

It can be said that the land of China was occupied by the Qing Dynasty, which has a direct and profound relationship with Hong Chengchou, and Hong Chengchou was from Quanzhou. After Hong Chengchou surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, he has been despised by Quanzhou people, and even Hong Chengchou's relatives and friends feel shame, and even his family members look down on him. His mother did not recognize him as a son, and his wife chose to become a nun, and even his younger brother scolded him. It is conceivable how bad Hong Chengchou's reputation in Quanzhou is, and the people of Quanzhou are deeply ashamed.

But now Wang Guorui expelled the Manchus and restored the country, and Wang Guorui is also from Quanzhou, which finally made Quanzhou people feel proud.

"Although Hong Chengchou is from Quanzhou, but he surrendered to Manchu~lightnovelpub.net~ and helped Manchu become a traitor. That is all his business and has nothing to do with us Quanzhou people!"

"The current emperor started his family in Taiwan, and his generals are mainly Taiwanese. There are also Fujianese, but the proportion in Quanzhou is not high. So the emperor expelled the foreigners and defeated the Manchus. What does that have to do with the Quanzhou people? Compared with the people from Taiwan, there are far fewer people from Shandong, so how can you get support from all ages? If you don’t contribute, you just hope to get benefits. How can there be such pies in the sky everywhere?"

Immediately, someone said angrily: "From your accent, it doesn't seem like we are from Quanzhou, or even from Fujian. Why do you say that about us? Who are you?"

The young man in his thirties, dressed in ordinary literati clothes, replied: "My surname is Li, my name is Yuan Hong, and my name is Song Qing. I am now the new commander of the Southeast Theater Command, with the rank of lieutenant general. I feel unfair after listening to you today, so I am here to ask A few words."

"Li Yuanhong? Commander of the Southeast Theater?"

Those people didn't expect that they would blow up the "Southeast King" who would control all the garrisons in the southeast half of the country in the future by complaining about their dissatisfaction with the emperor? (To be continued.)
