Chapter 217 The god I created has to be held down even with tears!
Under the scorching sun, Zhang Juzheng stared at Gu Xiancheng and other Nanzhi officials with his eyes like swords: "You all mean that?"
"no!"
Gu Xiancheng hurriedly replied at this time: "At least, the subordinates don't want the imperial court to treat the tenant farmers and hired workers in Nanzhi as rebels!"
"The subordinates don't want to either."
"It's really inappropriate to be an anti-thief extermination. After all, not everyone is a pro-military guard and attaches great importance to military discipline; at least because the patrol team and yamen soldiers who maintain order are from Wu, they won't be too much, but if they really punish these troublemakers In order to rebel against the bandits, let the nine sides send troops to the south to suppress the rebellion, which may make the southeast more chaotic and cause even greater military disasters."
Yu Maoxue also started talking at this time.
When Gu Xiancheng and Yu Maoxue said this, Li Zhi hurriedly cupped his hands and replied: "Your officer made a mistake, please allow me to take back what I just said!"
"There are still people who understand."
Zhang Juzheng said something in a cold voice, and sat back.
After Li Zhi heard this, he immediately opened his mouth: "But this matter must be resolved, right? Yuanfu really wants to see civil unrest continue to exist, so that the scholar-bureaucrats are threatened by the common people? Isn't Yuanfu afraid that the tenants of your mansion will follow suit? !"
"This matter is easy to solve. The people want to talk to you about rent reduction, interest rate reduction and processing money. You can just talk about it."
"If the tenants of the same family come to talk, the servant will let the family members talk."
Zhang Juzheng said.
Li Zhi took a deep breath and sneered: "They can choose not to rent or rent, what qualifications do reckless people have to talk to gentry?!"
"Is this how you learn the principles of sages?"
"In your eyes, ordinary people don't even have the right to talk."
"Since this is the case, there is no need for servants to talk to you again."
Zhang Juzheng got up as he spoke, and looked at Zhang Jing: "Eunuch Zhang, come and talk to them with your factory guards."
Zhang Jing nodded.
Then, Zhang Jing waved.
A group of brocade-clothed guards appeared all around holding boards and carrying spring stools.
The factory guards reasoned, and of course they reasoned with boards.
"slow!"
Yu Maoxue yelled at this time, and gave Li Zhi a sharp look, then bowed to Zhang Juzheng: "Yuanfu calm down, Ru Pei's words are not what we all agree on! We dare not complain about the complaints of the villagers." Ignore it, and dare not forget the words of the sages, and despise the common people! It's just that, the villagers don't want to farm and work, which not only affects the gentry, but also has a great impact on the taxation of the court. You can't just let the National Taxation Department keep collecting it The money and food are used to make the villagers exercise."
"That's right, we just want to ask the court to deal with this matter quickly, otherwise it will be useless to the country and the people."
Gu Xiancheng said.
"That's just like the words. If that's the case, the servant will ask His Majesty to know what you are worried about, and wait for the order."
Zhang Juzheng said something and left here.
Gu Xiancheng and the others also left the Huiji Gate, looked at Jin Yiwei standing around like wolves and tigers, and didn't bother him.
"It's really embarrassing. He, Jiangling, will one day use the public opinion to suppress us!"
After leaving, Li Zhi couldn't help but say something.
"What can I do?"
Gu Xiancheng asked a question at this time, and said through gnashed teeth: "This matter can only be tolerated!"
Then, Gu Xiancheng said again: "However, in any case, this matter is not good for the court! Taxes are used to organize tenant farmers and hired workers to threaten the gentry. What is the difference between sitting and eating? It is impossible for the court not to deal with this matter, as long as it is considered by the country. In the name of urging him to Jiangling and blaming Hai Rui for being cowardly, the court has to sit idly by!"
"This statement is correct, but this matter is also a loss for us, so it is better to solve it as soon as possible."
Yu Maoxue replied.
Gu Xiancheng said with a serious expression at this moment: "Then you can't just admit defeat!"
"We all know that civil unrest is not good for us, nor is it good for the court! And why does the court want to do this?"
"It's nothing more than that he, Jiangling, is deliberately testing our bottom line, and wants us to be soft first, so as to realize his goal of benefiting the country and the people; but if we can bear it until he, Jiangling, or the entire court can't stand it, If next year's food supply will be affected, the imperial court will naturally give in first, and will not let the unruly people make trouble, and even the New Deal may be abolished!"
"rational!"
Li Zhi nodded.
Gu Xiancheng said, "The key now is to see if we, the Nanzhi gentry, can be united, and how the court will solve it. If the court insists on making me, the Nanzhi gentry, give in, it will definitely not work!"
"That's right! I still say the same thing. It is impossible to reduce rent and interest rates and process money! Renting land and hiring craftsmen are all doing good deeds by big households like me. How can we not be grateful and blackmail the owner? , This is simply bad public morals and bad ethics!"
Li Zhi spoke at this moment.
……
"Everyone has never hesitated to spend money in places like Qinhuai River, but they are not even willing to talk about rent reduction, interest rate reduction and processing money."
"It is said that scholars should value righteousness and despise profit, but in the end, in the face of pros and cons, scholars will also forget the moral articles they wrote in the examination room."
After Zhang Juzheng knew that the result of his reasoning with Nanzhi officials was that Nanzhi officials were still unwilling to reduce rent and interest rates, Zhu Yijun complained to Zhang Juzheng in this way.
Zhang Juzheng clasped his hands and said: "Your Majesty, although human desires are hard to extinguish, but in any case, the foundation of doing justice for the public in this world cannot be discarded. Rao, there are few scholars who really do it, but at least they dare not explicitly deny it." In many cases, as long as the ruler insists on taking the world as the right way, things that seem to be unable to curb human desires will gradually become the last obstacle to make the world disorder."
"Mr. is right. Let the ruling ministers discuss this matter in the political hall. In addition, let the Nanzhi officials in Shangben choose a representative to attend."
"This matter requires a breaker, and the choice of this person is very important."
Zhu Yijun nodded and spoke.
Zhang Juzheng said in his mouth that he obeyed the order.
Soon, Gu Xiancheng and others received official approval from the imperial court, and the Yanzhengshitang will discuss the matter with the court, asking them to elect a representative to attend the Zhengshitang.
"I just said that he, Jiang Ling, would not sit back and watch such a thing happen."
Gu Xiancheng laughed because of this, and said to Li Zhi and others: "But at this time, we can't compromise, and we have to be calm when we do big things! The court can only dismiss Hai Rui and abolish the patrol team. It is absolutely impossible for us gentry to make concessions and reduce rents and interest rates!"
Li Zhi waited and nodded.
……
"Brother, the civil unrest in Nanzhi can't continue, especially this Hai Rui, we can't let him mess around like this in Nanzhili again! Now he is not only cracking down on and organizing troublesome people, but also strictly controlling all kinds of government affairs. , including the salt administration, he will rectify; for example, crack down on official salt adulteration and improve the quality of official salt, but if this is the case, how can we profit from selling private salt?"
"If we don't think of a way to get him to leave Nanzhi, our Zhang family will lose more than half of their profits this year!"
On the day Gu Xiancheng and others received the imperial decree, the Cifu official residence.
Zhang Sijiao eagerly spoke to Zhang Siwei.
Zhang Siwei was calm after hearing this, and just stood under the eaves, watching the two cranes strolling in the garden, and after watching for a while, he said: "If you hate Hai Gangfeng, the best way is to promote him. None of these methods will work! Especially, it is best to promote him to the capital to take up an idle position, even if he is promoted to the first rank, he must be allowed to stay in the capital and not let him go elsewhere!"
"There is no other way?"
Zhang Sijiao said with resentment on his face: "If this person can die well, I will not be reconciled!"
"There is no other way better than promoting him. The chief ministers of all dynasties have done this. Up to now, impeaching him can only impeach him for being pedantic, ignorant of world affairs, and unkind. Can these punish him with death?"
As Zhang Siwei spoke, he asked Zhang Sijiao a question.
"It can't be cured!"
Zhang Siwei then answered by himself: "And if it is said that he is greedy for ink and collaborating with the enemy, no one will believe it at all! Maybe, he will be ashamed!"
Zhang Sijiao nodded: "How could this happen!"
"There is no way, Xu Huating and other scholars didn't kill him because he disobeyed the world temple. It was to reduce the power of the king and strengthen the courage of the courtiers, so they gave him the great name of Haigangfeng!"
"As for the god I created, I have to hold him down with tears in my eyes, just don't let this god really descend to the mortal world! Now go ask the emperor to kill him, wouldn't you slap yourself Shilin?"
Zhang Siwei said.
