Chapter 115: Gu Yanwu on Politics and the Two Crises of the Ming Dynasty


"Yes!"

The young man smiled slightly, nodded at Jiang Chuhan, there was no trace of fear in his heart, he lowered his head and just thought about it, and then opened his mouth and said: "Second, the villain suggested that Lord Jiang should act according to the rules for all the officials who participated in the political examination, if the circumstances are serious, and if the circumstances are more minor, please let Master Jiang let them go."

Although Jiangnan is the land of fireworks, it is dozens of times more prosperous than other places in the Ming Dynasty, however, on this land, it must not be a one-day official, otherwise, all kinds of miscellaneous and trivial matters, all kinds of big and urgent matters, who else can deal with it?

”"In addition, for the officials above the fourth grade in Jiangnan, the villain also implored Lord Jiang to stay put, so he didn't move for the time being.Officials of the fourth rank or above are already in charge of one side of the land, and if it is really a large-scale pull of people to dismount, it will inevitably cause an uproar in the court.Master Jiang, you don't want to be a real lonely minister, do you?

”The young man smiled faintly, evidently confident, and had already thought about it in detail, and had obviously thought it through some careful consideration.Hearing this, Jiang Chuhan couldn't help but nod heavily.That's right, what the young man in front of me said is not wrong at all!!

Jiang Chuhan suddenly sighed deeply, the person I am thinking about is really not very familiar.On the contrary, the young man in front of him broke the sky with a word!

No one wants to be a real lonely.The performance appraisal of Jiangnan officials is a thankless errand that offends people for no reason, and Jiang Chuhan is also very clear about this.What's more, the force that Jiang Chuhan relied on was the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty, not Dongchang.Whether it is Luo Yangxing, or the only instruction given to him by the emperor, it is not the guiding ideology of the six big characters of "sweeping away all obstacles".In the same way, this assessment of Jiangnan officials is also a chess game made by the emperor to establish the prestige of Jinyiwei in Jiangnan.This point has long been a secret known to everyone in the entire court, even Jiang Chuhan, a rookie who has just entered the officialdom, knows it clearly, not to mention those old Gyeonggi dignitaries who have already become sophisticated?

What is the purpose of being an official?

There may be several answers, but in Jiang Chuhan's heart, it is just for a major event that will happen in a few years: to change the direction of history, set things right, and guide the entire current affairs on the right track.For the sake of this goal, even if it is for oneself, one must not be a lonely minister.The best outcome is just to dismiss the official and return home.For himself, and for the sake of this Ming country, Jiang Chuhan suddenly felt a little sad in his heart, if he really offended people, who would work hard with him to change the trend of this era in the future?"

It's not that you can't move, you should really move slowly, besides, you are not in a hurry at this time, Lord Jiang, please think twice!"

Speaking of this, the young man paused, with a smile on his face, and looked at Jiang Chuhan who was contemplative.The young man's words fell on Jiang Chuhan's ears, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became.What a powerful young man, this vision of overseeing the overall situation alone is already very incomparable!"

The bandits in Shaanxi and Henan are getting more and more, and if they are not handled well, they may become a torrent that floods the Ming Dynasty; The Later Jin Emperor Taiji soldiers are strong and strong, and sooner or later they will knock on the southern route, and the soldiers of the court can resist their iron cavalry now?

After the court is overwhelmed by the bandits and both sides are defeated, Houjin will officially enter the Central Plains. ”Jiang Chuhan comes from later generations, of course he knows that this passage is the real history, but this young man is so old-fashioned and cautious at a young age, and he can see the general trend of the world so clearly, and his future achievements will be limitless, just by virtue of this, it is enough for Jiang Chuhan to be amazed.Suddenly, Jiang Chuhan suddenly felt a love for talent in his heart, and asked with a smile on his face, "What's your name?"

Where is the official now?

”The young man was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly bowed his head and said: "The villain's surname is Gu Yanwu, the word is Ningren, and he is currently in the position of Ying Tianfu Xuezheng." ”Xuezheng, that is, today's university professor and other positions, cannot be regarded as an official, but can only be regarded as a civil servant in later generations, but the name of the young man in front of him suddenly fell into Jiang Chuhan's ears, and the blood veins in Jiang Chuhan's body suddenly collapsed!"

Poof!"

A mouthful of tea slammed out of Jiang Chuhan's mouth!

Gu Yanwu, the talented young man in front of him turned out to be Gu Yanwu!

It is Gu Yanwu, one of the three major Confucians in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, who said that "the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband", "if you are not honest, you will not take it, and if you are not ashamed, you will not do it", "if there are many officials, it will be chaotic", Gu Yanwu, one of the three major Confucians in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties!

Seeing that the expression on Jiang Chuhan's face changed several times in an instant, Gu Yanwu was obviously a little shocked and frightened, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat, he lowered his head and kept silent, and did not say a word."

You, why are you telling me this?"

Jiang Chuhan pressed the joy in his heart, looked at Gu Yanwu lightly and said.Gu Yanwu's face suddenly stirred up a red cloud, he looked at Jiang Chuhan with a look of disbelief, and stammered: "Shicai is outside, seeing that Lord Jiang is doing things vigorously and resolutely, and the villain is also admired, but I just don't want me to be Ming, and I have lost a good official who really makes decisions for the people." ”Jiang Chuhan's face was faint, and his expression was calm, as if there had never been a trace of waves, and it fell in Gu Yanwu's eyes, but it was like a great enemy, as if he was afraid that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly said: "The villain was in a hurry for a while, so he rushed into the lobby, and hoped that Lord Jiang would forgive the villain's sins." ”Jiang Chuhan couldn't help but look at Gu Yanwu who was standing in front of him in fear again, such a talented person, and such a young and handsome young man, how could he get his own subordinates to be worthy of the identity of the traverser."

You, don't panic, sit down."

Jiang Chuhan said lightly."

Yes!

Thank you, Mr.

Jiang. ”Gu Yanwu hurriedly sat down, and the beads of sweat on his forehead suddenly rained down, and he realized that his back was already wet."

This official is very eager to hear now, what do you think about the situation in Jiangnan in front of you."

Jiang Chuhan said lightly: "You don't have to be formal, you can speak freely." ”As soon as Jiang Chuhan's words came out, they fell into Gu Yanwu's ears, and his spirit was suddenly shocked, and his face immediately appeared with joy, and he said heavily: "Yes!"

Thank you, Mr.

Jiang. ”After a pause, Gu Yanwu lowered his head and thought about it carefully, then he met Jiang Chuhan's aggressive eyes, and said cautiously: "At present, there are two major crises in the south of the Yangtze River, which the imperial court urgently needs to solve and deal with. ”"Two major crises?"

Jiang Chuhan couldn't help frowning when he heard this, but his face didn't show any clues, and he said lightly: "Which two major crises?"

”"The first is business, and the second is the people!"

Gu Yanwu wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and smiled wryly."

The so-called people's crisis, in fact, is the root cause of the legacy, which came from Zhang Juzheng's whip law in the Wanli period.In fact, the official land, military land, and royal fiefdom were not taxed, but the private land, which only accounted for about 40 percent, bore all the taxes, so that the people were miserable. ”Seeing Jiang Chuhan's appearance as if he was contemplative, Gu Yanwu smiled faintly and continued: "The so-called business crisis is the Ming Dynasty's market change law.That is, the government allocates a special amount of money to set up a transaction department, and selects an official who is proficient in finance to preside over it, and has a good reputation businessman to assist.First investigate the market price of the goods, buy them when they are cheap, sell them when they are expensive, and charge a little interest from the state.Small peasants and small workers are willing to exchange their property with the government, and they can also borrow money from the state at an annual interest rate of 2/10, and if they do not pay a penalty interest of 2/10 per month when they are overdue.However, the effect of this method is terrible.Who has the final say on the price of goods?

When the government becomes the largest businessman, it will inevitably compete with the people for profit.This is worse than a monopoly by profiteers, where officials use their power to monopolize goods to the maximum.Officials and officials pursued political achievements and tried to obtain more income through the market, so that the disadvantages of the market-change law harmed the people, forced them to buy and sell, and extorted businessmen. ”After finishing speaking, Gu Yanwu suddenly said with a resentful face: "In the long run, the government will become the biggest businessman, monopolizing and monopolizing, and it is not only illegal businessmen who monopolize it, but every inch of land and every family in my Ming Dynasty!"

If I only follow it and let it develop, I'm afraid that my Ming Dynasty will only add a thousand holes, and the building will collapse, only for a while!

”"Smack!"

slapped his palm on the table heavily, and Gu Yanwu's heart jumped again, but this slap was not Jiang Chuhan, but Chen Qiyu, who had been sitting on the side and closing his eyes."

Vertical Zi'an dares to talk about the government!!"

Chen Qiyu's face was full of anger, and he shouted in a deep voice.Gu Yanwu suddenly became smart, hurriedly lowered his head, and said in a low voice: "The villain is wrong, I hope the adult will forgive." ”Jiang Chuhan smiled and waved his hand at Chen Qiyu, stopped Chen Qiyu's continuous reprimand, and then looked at Gu Yanwu lightly, and said slowly: "All of the above, here, you can tell us, after you go out, you don't want to talk about it, do you understand?"

”When Gu Yanwu heard this, he was immediately overjoyed like a little Dengke, how could he not hear that Jiang Chuhan was protecting himself?

Suddenly, Gu Yanwu was overjoyed and said, "Thank you for mentioning it, the villain is provincial." ”Jiang Chuhan smiled bitterly, he was originally just playing for Gu Yanwu, but he didn't know that just by saying this, Gu Yanwu was able to be so happy, and he didn't know where Gu Yanwu thought of it.After thinking about it slightly, Jiang Chuhan couldn't help frowning, and then continued to ask Gu Yanwu, "So, what's next?"

”ps: Gu Yanwu was a famous thinker, historian, and linguist in 1613 and 1682, and was known as the three major Confucians in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties along with Huang Zongxi and Wang Fuzhi.His real name is Jiang, and his name is Zhongqing; After the defeat of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Yanwu, a student of Mu Tianxiang, was a person, renamed Yanwu, the word Ningren, and also signed himself as a Jiang Shan maid, and the scholar respected as Mr.
