Chapter 219 and above, if you don’t agree to implement the New Deal, you will die!
After hearing this, Chen Zizhuang got up and took his 20,000 taels, and said, "Forget it! I agree with the expansion of Xichang in the south of the Yangtze River. Anyway, this is in accordance with the wishes of the people."
Zhang Gui smiled and said, "That's right."
Immediately, Zhang Gui looked at Lu Xiangsheng, who was newly promoted to Minister of the Ministry of War: "Great Sima, how about you?"
"A gentleman means justice, and a villain means profit. Uncle Guo, you can directly persuade us to agree to the expansion of Xichang on the grounds of the needs of the people, so why use money to move it first?"
Lu Xiangsheng asked puzzledly.
Zhang Gui said with a smile: "Benhou didn't mean that. Da Sima misunderstood. The matter of raising the money today is just a thought."
Zhang Gui then said, "The Guards have just conducted an internal investigation, and it's when the morale of the army is a little unstable. If you don't take advantage of this opportunity to increase the profits of the Industrial Division and increase their share of dividends, I am afraid that the morale of the army will remain unstable. It may even be blamed on Da Sima. In addition, if the court has no money, it will inevitably cause a shortage of military pay. Presumably Da Sima will not be willing to see soldiers mutiny because of the shortage of military pay? Therefore, Ben Hou advises It would be better for Da Sima to take the dividend."
As soon as Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he got up and took his share of the meeting ticket: "Uncle Guo is right. Recently, many guards officers have told me that they don't have to be married to aristocratic families, but if they don't Marriage to a noble family, wealth and honor can only depend on military merit and the gift of the emperor, if I really prevent His Majesty from giving them the opportunity to be rich, I am indeed blocking their desire to be loyal to His Majesty and want to be rich in the family."
In the end, Yuan Keli was the only one left in the entire planning department who did not express his opinion.
Therefore, Zhang Gui and everyone also looked at Yuan Keli.
Yuan Keli smiled wryly, and took his share of dividends over, saying: "If it hadn't been for thinking that there would be a large number of refugees in Guanzhong who would need to be accommodated by the Industry Department, and in addition, so many officers and soldiers were waiting for the imperial court to reward them with money. To stabilize the morale of the army, I will definitely not agree to do so, now that I think about it, I can only suffer for the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River."
Yuan Keli also knew that if he didn't agree now, the Guards might visit him at night, after all Lu Xiangsheng agreed.
Seeing this, Zhang Gui smiled with satisfaction, and then took out a copy of the memorabilia given to Tianqi by Yuan Yaoran, the inspector censor, and asked Han Yan and others:
"So what is said in this memorandum, that is, the so-called scholars of Xilin Academy united with the unruly people to form a rebellious party, bloodbathed Donglin, and slaughtered scholars and people, can you believe it?"
"What a load of nonsense!"
Wei Zhongxian came to a conclusion first, and said: "I, Dongchang, am not blind. The scholars of Xilin Academy and the local people, which one is worthy of the name of a rebellious party?!"
"Now it seems that at least the imperial court can't jump to conclusions. It's better to only order Xichang and Dongchang to cooperate with the governor of Zhejiang Province."
Han Yu said at this time.
Xichang is the institution of Admiral Zhang Gui.
East Factory is the institution of Admiral Wei Zhongxian.
Zhao Yan, governor of Zhejiang Province, is a member of Yuan Keli.
So, now that the several ministers of the Department of Policy and Policy have unified their opinions, the so-called investigation of the Jiangnan matter is just a formality, and will not favor the Jiangnan officials and gentry.
"In addition to this, we have to draw up a Taoist order and order Xichang to expand the official school in the south of the Yangtze River, so as to strictly investigate the matter of internal traitors colluding with foreign barbarians to undermine the emperor's policy and state law."
Han Yu followed up and said.
Zhang Gui and Wei Zhongxian all nodded, and they no longer objected to the expansion of the West Factory.
Therefore, after Zhang Gui returned to the mansion, he called Zhou Neng: "Reply to Huang Binqing and Wang Zhiren quickly, and tell them that the emperor and the ministers of the Planning and Strategy Department have agreed with the Marquis, and you can sit and watch them. In the name of the Xichang Anti-Crafts Department, it does the liquidation of the gentry and the equalization of land and labor. But the rules that should be observed must also be followed! For example, the stolen money and food must be turned over in full according to the rules, and they must not be kept privately! Otherwise, Xichang will not protect them. In addition, don’t mess around because of this, implicate innocent people, and disregard human lives, otherwise the imperial court will definitely order the governor’s office to send troops to wipe them out!”
"yes!"
Huang Binqing, Wang Zhiren, Chen Zilong and other people from Xilin Academy were very happy after receiving Zhang Gui's letter, and they got together to discuss it.
Huang Binqing first smiled and said: "Sure enough, Uncle Guo is a man with long-term vision! Knowing the benefits of this."
"According to this, we have to hand over the stolen money of the evil gentry worth more than 30 million taels of silver and five million shi of grain to the court according to the rules?"
Wang Zhiren asked.
Huang Binqing nodded: "If you want to get the support of the imperial court and the arms assistance from the Xishan Industry Department, you have to hand it over honestly!"
"What's more, we didn't really want to rebel against the imperial court, nor did we instigate the people to riot because we wanted to get rich. Our purpose is to make the pace of reform a little bigger, so that our ambition of saving the common people in the world can be realized. It's done!"
"Too!"
"The major workshops of our Xilin Academy can already bring us wealth, and we want to equalize the land and labor, not for our own wealth, but for the prosperity of the poor and the people in the world. Therefore, it is correct to hand over the confiscated money and food to the court. ! Otherwise, the imperial court may directly stand on the side of the officials and gentry!"
Chen Zilong also echoed.
After hearing this, Wang Zhiren said: "But according to Uncle Guo's wishes, we have to abide by the rules, but if we obey the rules, we, as people in Xichang, cannot interfere in civil affairs. We only have the power to investigate smuggling and root out foreign spies! It seems that we have no right to implement The government of averaging land and labor!"
"It's easy. We can show empathy to the parents and officials in various prefectures and counties, and ask them to ask the imperial court to allow them to share the land and labor in their own jurisdiction. They will be willing. If they don't want to, it's colluding with foreigners. Yi, a dog official who ignores public opinion!"
Huang Binqing said.
Chen Zilong echoed after hearing this: "Just do it like this!"
So, the scholars of Xilin Academy and the soldiers of Xilin Township changed their way to implement the new policy of equal land and labor, that is, forcing officials from all over the country to preside over the new policy.
Gao Luyuan, the prefect of Changzhou, was dragged out of the Yihua boat in Suzhou by the soldiers sent by Xilin Township, and escorted back to Changzhou Prefecture overnight.
Then, Huang Binqing personally bowed his hands to Gao Luyuan and said: "Gao Futai, please come to this play to ask the imperial court to implement the New Deal in Changzhou!"
Gao Luyuan was not willing at first, after all, it was something to offend the gentry, so he said angrily: "You are threatening the imperial court officials! Even if I am beaten to death by you today, I will not do what you want!"
Seeing this, Huang Binqing directly picked up the pistol and pointed it at Gao Luyuan.
Gao Luyuan was so frightened that he hurriedly sat back on the chair, tremblingly said: "I will write! I will write right away! Please don't do this, Mr. Ming Fu! We are old friends, right?!"
Huang Binqing took back the pistol.
There is no unique and even.
The scholars of Xilin Academy and the soldiers of Xilin Township began to force the local officials in other areas under their control to come forward to preside over the New Deal.
At the same time, Xilin Academy also sent ships to Beijing in accordance with the rules to send all the money and food confiscated from the houses of the gentry who had been liquidated.
Here in the capital, shortly after Zhang Gui reached an agreement with Han Yu, Wei Zhongxian, and Yuan Keli of the Planning Department, a new order was issued from the General Administration Department. Governor-General Xiang investigates the truth about the case of hematopoietic laundering at Jiangnan Donglin Academy.
At the same time, the second purpose is to expand the official school in Xichang, and strictly investigate the matter of internal traitors colluding with foreign barbarians to undermine the emperor's policy and state law.
But these two wills were all refuted by the Six Section Gallery!
The Chinese Fang Yanhong who refuted these two decrees even directly wrote in the book: "Your Majesty! What is happening in the south of the Yangtze River is the rebellion of unruly people and bandits! It is not just about the collusion between Donglin Academy and foreign barbarians. Case! If you want to talk about colluding with foreign barbarians, it is also the thieves of Xilin Academy. They colluded with foreign barbarians and washed Donglin Academy with blood, and instigated unscrupulous people and foreign bandits to mess up our south of the Yangtze River and destroy our southeast important place! At this time, the imperial court should immediately send a large army into it. Suppression is right!"
