Gu Yongcheng now also knows that he has been dismissed as an official gentry.This made it difficult for him to accept this result for a while.He did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would remove all the scholars and gentry in Wuxi from their official status and reputation because of a civil unrest he launched against Feng Quan and Qingzhang Tianmu, and dismiss them as the people, regardless of who was starting the civil unrest.People do not blame the people, and His Majesty the Emperor wants to punish the people of the entire county for what some people do.But what Gu Yongcheng didn't expect was that his former world friends would suddenly sell him clean at this time.In addition, the thought of just now that even his favorite student had pushed himself to the ground in order to escape for his life.Gu Yongcheng can be said to be disillusioned now.But Gu Yongcheng still has a greedy love for life, and when the battalion soldiers escorted him up, he still struggled to beg Feng Quan for mercy, shouting: "Master Taiwan, spare your life!"
The grass people were really just enjoying the scenery at that time, and it was not the grass people who organized the villagers to make trouble!
”For a time, the entire gentry festival in Wuxi was shattered.Feng Quan didn't bother to say anything, so he only went back to the inner courtyard of the county government to rest.After Gu Yongcheng was taken back to the county jail, he interrogated Gu Yongcheng in accordance with Feng Quan's order.At the beginning, the general manager of this standard battalion gave Gu Yongcheng a clamping stick.In the eyes of the general manager, this should be the lightest punishment, after all, it is just a finger clip.But Gu Yongcheng still screamed heartbreakingly after being caught in his fingers."
It hurts!
I said, I said, I was instructed by me to organize the villagers to make trouble, and other members of the village, such as Dang Chongfeng, Kuang Qingsheng, and Lao Rui. ”Even, Gu Yongcheng directly confessed to his accomplice.Because of this, Feng Quan easily tried the key criminals who organized the villagers to make trouble, and immediately ordered these people to be arrested and brought to justice.With the arrest of Gu Yongcheng, in addition, Emperor Zhu Youxiao said with a tough attitude that if Wuxi could not carry out the matter of Qingzhang Tianmu, he would not give Wuxi scholars the opportunity to enter the official career, so that the entire Wuxi Qingzhang Tianmu action in the next was smoothly implemented.Many of the gentry's hidden fields that had been cleared out were re-registered.And these gentry and powerful also consciously paid back taxes.It's just a bit of a big price.From the process of sending the Xichang to the south of the Yangtze River to recovering the fu to Feng Quan's successful cleansing of the fields in Nanzhili, a large number of gentry were dismissed from their reputations, and even punished and died because of this.Originally, the gentry wanted to threaten Emperor Zhu Youxiao by running off the grain.But unexpectedly, Emperor Zhu Youxiao took a tough posture and came to collect taxes by force and forcibly clear the acres of land in Nanzhili, where the gentry were most concentrated.The gentry didn't expect the emperor to play so hard, so they were caught off guard and disgraced.However, between the government and the opposition, there is naturally a lot of resentment.But because the foundation of the Ming Dynasty is still there, the common people have not yet reached the time when they can't survive, and the Jianyu in Liaodong has not yet become bigger.Therefore, the gentry, who had never dared to take risks since ancient times, could only forcibly endure it first."
Your Majesty, this is completely disregarding the righteousness of the monarch and the minister!
It's not that the Ming Dynasty will die in just twenty or thirty years, why should Your Majesty be so unscrupulous!
Yang Guang's consequences, don't Your Majesty know that even if my Ming Dynasty can continue the national throne for another hundred years, if it goes on like this, it will be shorter than thirty years!
”Ye Xianggao said very excitedly after knowing that Emperor Zhu Youxiao had made trouble in Jiangnan, and then shouted to the north again with great sadness: "Your Majesty!
Can you not flip the table at every turn, are you bullying us and not daring to turn against you?!
”Ye Xianggao felt dizzy as he spoke, and couldn't help but hold on to the edge of the table, sat on the chair, panting.His son Ye Chengxue was busy supporting Ye Xianggao: "Father!
You are angry, anyway, this country belongs to the Zhu family, and if the tyrant wants to make such a mess, it will be his Zhu family's country that will die at that time!
If he really pushes us gentry too quickly, don't think that we really dare not rebel!
”"What is it!
Is it because you can't live anymore, or you don't want to have a head on your head?
”Ye Xianggao said: "Your Majesty just pinched the weaknesses of our people who dare not open up everything, but the old man didn't expect His Majesty to dare to be so open-minded, where is this the style of the Son of Peace!"
I, Da Ming, am not about to ruin the country and his family, so that he would rather be called brutal than carry out such a harsh government!
”"You must think that my administration is harsh, but what I want to tell you is that since ancient times, it has been a combination of leniency and severity, and before the Ming Dynasty, it was too lenient, so that the dynasty was corrupted and the people's hearts were sluggish, in fact, as long as there is no one in this world, who abides by the king's law, my strict government will not be strict to him, and he can only feel my grace!"
Zhu Youxiao talked to Li Ruhua, who was summoned from Zhehe to the political affairs hall in the political affairs hall, and after speaking, he asked again: "How is the collection of the conscription of the conquest of the conquest and the Qingzhang Tianmu affair and the examination method of Nanzhili, but what is the effect?"
”"Returning to Your Majesty, the results are remarkable, and the coarse cloth estimates that more than 1,700 stone tax grain, more than 8 million taels of gold and silver, and more than 1 million stone white grain have been collected, and in addition to the 4 million stone tax grain that needs to be transported to the local government departments to replenish the local granary, more than 1,300 stone tax grain, more than 1 million white grain, and more than 8 million taels of gold and silver have been transported to Beijing, which will greatly enrich the treasury!"
Fang Congzhe said with a smile, he had to admit that although the policy of taxing and clearing the acres of land in the south was very harsh after the implementation of this time, it did greatly overflow the treasury, so that the treasury could not only make up for the deficit over the years, but even have a lot left now, because according to the income of grain and white grain before the Ming Dynasty, it was only three or four million stones per year.At present, the one-time income can be worth the total revenue of the state treasury in the past three or four years.Therefore, Fang Congzhe, who is the head of the cabinet, is also sincerely happy.Zhu Youxiao nodded after hearing this: "In this way, the two million stone taxes and grain after the levy of Liao Salary can be exempted, and the edict will be issued to the world, except for those that have been levied, all those that have not been levied will be stopped, and the levy will be officially suspended after the first day of the first month of the second year of the Apocalypse, and the governors and patrols of the provinces will be strictly investigated at that time, and whoever violates the decree to continue to levy Liao Levy will be impeached and strictly handled!"
”"Your Majesty is like the benevolence of heaven, and the ministers thank Your Majesty for the people of the world!"
Fang Congzhe and Li Ruhua both replied.Li Ruhua breathed a sigh of relief."
What about the test method?"
Zhu Youxiao asked as he spoke.Li Ruhua hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, after the implementation of the examination law, the backlog of important affairs since the temple dynasty has been dealt with, and more than 500 mediocre officials have been dismissed and dismissed. ”"In particular, after the Metropolitan Procuratorate was replaced by a local state and county official who had passed the examination, there has been a significant increase in the number of cases of corruption in ink, and the number of impeachment chapters involving officials bullying the people has tripled compared with the past, and the impeachment chapters for impeaching officials of the DPRK and China on the basis of personal morality or rumors have been reduced by half, which shows that the imperial historians are more pragmatic than before!"
Fang Congzhe also added.Zhu Youxiao nodded after hearing this: "It's finally starting to get better slowly!"
