Yuan Huai opened his mouth to speak, but he didn't dare, so he had to knock his cane on the bluestone slab, he really didn't dare to imagine what it felt like to be a dignified scholar in front of his house, and he wanted to set up two tall archways by the government in front of his house, he always felt that in this way, his Yuan family would not be able to raise his head in front of his fellow villagers.But Yuan Huai naturally didn't dare to disobey, he still knew how to be measured.However, because the emperor didn't care about this, he didn't go to serve the conscription again, but went back to the palace and handed over the conscription silver that had not been offset by workmanship.His Yuan family was not short of money, and if he really wanted to be decent, he could buy it with money.Hou Ke and Yang Donglai and other gentry also gave up the matter of resisting the gentry by taking the initiative to pay food and be on an errand because the emperor said that labor is glorious and that the work of scholars is not ashamed and worthy of encouragement, so they cannot make the emperor compromise by taking the initiative to serve the labor.After all, it is really tiring to serve as a servant, especially for those of them who are not diligent and have to do skating rods when they go out.And the students did not take the initiative to serve the conscription, paid the conscription silver, and honestly continued to refer to it, but they really did not have the courage to strike the exam.It didn't take long for the "glorious taxpayers" and "model households" archways in front of the gate of Yuan's Mansion to be made overtime.Because the emperor also asked the people of the West Factory to come here to visit after they arrived in Guide, Zhu Zhongpeng, the prefect of Guide, had to let people chisel stones to build this archway overnight.Yuan Huai looked at this archway and felt very uncomfortable, and kept sighing."
The gentry preferential exemption is the beginning of the Taizu Dynasty, but now it is necessary to pay grain and errand in one body, which is really unexpected, and even advocate the gentry to work hard, how can there be such a reason, everything is inferior only to study high, when, the crops and men do things are also worthy of commendation, and even have to set up a memorial arch, Mrs.
Yuan, in my opinion, this is humiliating your mansion, and I don't know who gave His Majesty this idea, it is so ruthless!?"
Hou Ke also walked over at this time, glanced at the big archway of the Yuan family, and said that he would fight for the Yuan family."
The old man has already known through the Qingke who followed my family that the official gentry paid the grain on an errand and was proposed by Yuanfu today, and it was also proposed by him in Guide Mansion first, and this archway was also established because of his words!"
Yuan Huai sighed as he spoke: "Your Majesty is determined to innovate today, and our Yuanfu caters to his heart and moves the interests of my gentry, and because his family is a businessman, he was a Zhejiang merchant in his early years, and then he was registered in Beijing, and now he has settled in Beijing, but he is still a merchant, not to mention that he is now participating in the official camp, so he is unwilling to use the business interests of the merchant gentry, but only the interests of our civilian gentry!"
”"Damn the thief!
This man's treachery is worse than the strict division!
Qingzhang acres of fields, spread into acres, these most hurt my gentry of the new policy, are he for the head of the establishment, and now come to the gentry to pay food as an errand, this person in order to cater to the emperor's will, is really a change of law to deprive my gentry of the benefits, when, my gentry can be Yuan Fu, bring down the party, even if His Majesty will have to collect wealth in the treasury at that time, then the time will be to reform the commercial tax, increase the commercial tax, the commercial tax will be levied, and the treasury income will definitely be full several times!
Your Majesty is mobilizing the army of the Nine Sides to Liaodong ten times, and he can afford it!
”Hou Ke couldn't help but scold."
But now it is the merchant gentry represented by the Fang Party who controls the government, and Zhu Xieyuan, the governor of Xichang who came to Henan to Guide Germany this time, is also from a merchant and has a relationship with Songjiang Xu Ge, so it can be seen!"
Yuan Huai said."
Alas!"
Hou Ke sighed.…… Zhu Xieyuan and the people of Xichang arrived at Guide Mansion soon after, and specially in front of the archway of the Yuan family, summoned the officials and gentry to announce the abolition of the preferential exemption of the official gentry, and issued an order to start the government and gentry to pay grain according to the standard of grain payment by the common landlords."
This is against the ancestral system!
This is harshness!
The ministry is clear, how can the gentry be one with the common people, how can the Confucian scholars be rude, is this still the dynasty of benevolence and benevolence of the Holy Ming!
”However, not long after Zhu Xieyuan announced the decree, there were still radical students Lu Xun and others who stood up, raised their arms and shouted, and questioned.Zhu Xieyuan is related to Xu Guangqi, and is valued by Fang Congzhe, and he is a merchant gentry, so he has no emotional and interest entanglements between the family and the gentry class in Guide Mansion, and in order to satisfy the above, he also knows that he must strictly implement the new policy.Therefore, Zhu Xieyuan immediately instructed Li Biao, the governor of Henan, and Ni Yuanlu, the envoy of the school, who came with him: "People will take down those who make loud noises and slander the government!"
Get rid of the fame, please come out with the king's flag, and behead immediately!
”"Yes!"
Li Song and Ni Yuanlu hurriedly replied.As a result, Lu Xun and other students were dragged down by the pacesetters of the Henan Governor's Standard Battalion, and Ni Yuanlu also took away the scarves of these students by raising his own education.Lu Xun and others scolded for this: "Traitor!
You don't have to die well!
Come to a sticky end!
”Click!
Although these Lu Xun and these people kept scolding, they were still beheaded in the city.And then, the entire area around the Yuan family archway was quiet again, and after the ultra-radicals in the gentry class were cut down, no one dared to speak anymore.Zhu Xieyuan also turned a deaf ear to the words that scolded him for being a traitor.As a former commander of the Five Provinces, he was born as a soldier, and he has long had the decisiveness to kill, so naturally he will not be moved.In these years, anyone who joins the West Factory is not easy to mess with, and no matter how civil servants or military generals."
Now start to collect, all the civil and military officials in Henan below the governor will cooperate, and start from the Guide Mansion, and return to the German prefect Zhu Zhongpeng, you immediately take the fish scale book and household register of the Guide Mansion, and align it with the West Factory."
Zhu Xieyuan commanded.As a result, the West Factory officially began to collect grain in Guide Mansion according to the new policy of the official gentry to pay grain as an errand boy.The first to be called upon was the Yuan Mansion."
Iniquity!
Iniquity!
When did my Yuan family pay so much field endowment!
”And now, Yuan Huai watched his Hou family's new grain being shipped out, and cried because of it.For Yuan Huai, paying so much grain to the imperial court is indeed a heartache.Next is the Hou Mansion.That is, the family of the Marquis of Yushi, who was killed by the cane, is also the big family of bureaucrats in the Guide Mansion.The current head of the Hou Mansion is Hou Ke.Hou Ke wanted to drag it out, but because he dragged it out like this, that night, Xichang directly surrounded his mansion."
Open the door, the West Factory collects taxes!"
With the shouts like a tsunami, He Shixian and Ma Chengen, who worked in the West Factory, and other proud soldiers broke in directly."
Who are you, dare to break into my Hou family, get out!"
The young Hou Fangyu was so angry that he scolded.He Shixian directly beheaded Hou Fangyu to the ground with a knife, and said: "Is the Hou family going to resist taxes!"
The head of the family hurried out and paid the taxes!
”"Chaozong!
You, you, it was your uncle who hurt you!
”Hou Ke hurriedly ran over at this time because he saw Hou Fangyu being killed, and couldn't help shouting: "Open the warehouse!"
Give them the grain!
”Then, Hou Ke scolded: "Fang Congzhe!
You traitor!
You are also a gentry, why do you want your people to treat us so harshly!
