First Minister Section 637
Xia Zhifeng smiled brilliantly, "It's only in the capital that things will be delayed! In my Royal Planetarium, there are always some arty people who can make do with it, and they can't see it, and they have nothing to say. Especially the emperor and grandson now have some foundations, so they can work hard on their own. I don’t need to worry too much about it. I went to Guizhou and found a place with beautiful mountains and rivers to study and do research at ease. In fact, it is far better than Yingtian. Several years ago, the imperial court advocated running schools in small towns...to do research Yes, you should stay away from the hustle and bustle, calm down, devote yourself to learning, and don’t be blinded by the bustling... It’s a pity that until now, few schools seem to really do this.”
Zhang Shuning had no choice but to smile bitterly, "Human nature is such that those who are willing to endure hardships are still a minority. They are my own students. They are willing to return to their hometown to serve, and I am naturally willing to do so. But I am even more happy that they can go out and become a pillar of the country. "
Xia Zhifeng also nodded, "Don't worry, I will help you when I have time to write a book. It is best to build a girls' high school, and then cultivate a group of hard-working talents, so I can help me."
The husband and wife were chatting, and the next day, they were going to go to Guizhou, and they also passed on the news to Longzan. To be rewarded by the Grand Master, Longzan was also proud at such a young age.
However, Longzan made a request. The reason why he was able to make this suggestion was because he had been thinking about this matter since he was a child... In his hometown, so many old people gave them land because they said that the chieftain was kind.
I should thank the master for his mercy, even if I got the land, I can't forget the master's grace.
After Longzan went to school, he finally learned the truth.
Afterwards, he preached the imperial government's decrees in various places, and he found that not only were the leaders not merciful, but they set up torture halls privately and killed innocent people indiscriminately. Many ordinary people who could not pay their taxes were beaten to death.These land taxes are frighteningly high, and some families want to hand over seventy percent of their output to the head man.
The little thing I had left was not enough to fill my stomach, and it was common for people to starve to death.
He still remembered that he once saw a torture hall, which was full of stumps, human heads, and human skins. Those exhibits alone made people feel scalp numb and shudder.
The hell mentioned in the book seems to be nothing more than that!
"Shanchang, I don't know the situation in the Han region, but I only know the Yi tribe and other surrounding situations. It is really impossible to make us appreciate the grace of the chieftain! I think that as long as these truths are revealed Come out and wake up many people.”
Zhang Shuning nodded happily, "What you said is very good, I support you to take this as the research direction, and I also believe that you can come up with a reliable and convincing conclusion!"
Longzan nodded, and he began to collect information and accumulate materials, starting from Jiangxi and other places. When he was not in school, he went around, asked questions, consulted local chronicles, and went to the yamen to read files.
With the student card of Jimin Academy, it is very convenient to check these contents, and some people will even take the initiative to help him.
After a period of investigation, Longzan was shocked.
Because the reason is very simple, in many books mentioned industrious and thrifty housekeeping, farming and reading handed down, honest management, benevolent charity... I can't say nothing, but these things have nothing to do with getting rich.
For example, it is mentioned in the chronicle that the Shen family was originally a tenant farmer, and then gradually accumulated accumulation through hard work, and then bought a house and land. After a lifetime of hard work, they were finally able to hold their heads high and become respected capable people. .
But after Longzan's conclusion, it is almost impossible.
Because the reason is also very simple, land rent is something that, although it is agreed, it can be floated.
For example, if you work hard, be honest, and keep working hard to pick manure and fertilizer fields, so that the output will increase... The landlord will increase the land tax and rent in the name of turning the land into a high-quality field.
Up to [-]% to [-]%!
May I ask, how can you work hard and still accumulate wealth when [-]% to [-]% of the output is taken away?
Another point is that the landlord will ask the tenants to help with the work, carry the bag and repair the road, and they are not allowed to rest every year during the slack season.
Furthermore, the landlord often still controls the loan, the patriarchal clan...he has a hundred ways to squeeze out your value, and will not give you the possibility of accumulating family wealth.
It's really not possible, seeing that you are about to lose control, it is impossible for others to create an opponent for themselves!He will definitely try to fix you.
Knowing this, let’s talk about hard work, studying family heirlooms, painstakingly accumulating wealth, and finally getting rich and counterattack... It sounds very inspirational and exciting.
But sorry, it's almost impossible to be realistic.
Layers of restrictions have been decided long ago, relying on normal methods, there is absolutely no way.
How did those wealthy households come from?
After Longzan's investigation, he found that more than half of them were created by the Yuan Dynasty. Needless to say, they collected taxes for the Yuan Dynasty, helped the Yuan Dynasty squeeze the common people, and became a wealthy family by cruel means.
Secondly, there are some families that have been around for a long time. They didn't rely on the Yuan Dynasty, or not only rely on the Yuan Dynasty... They were very rich in the Song Dynasty, and they could even go back.
This is the so-called wealthy families from generation to generation, and naturally these wealthy families did not make their fortunes by honestly farming the land.According to their genealogy, it is clearly written that a certain person passed the Jinshi examination, entered the court as an official, changed his family from then on, and his family prospered...do I need to say more?
Isn't this just relying on becoming an official, gaining power in exchange, and then annexing land and accumulating wealth?
And who is hard at home?
Longzan wrote an article on what he had summarized and handed it to the teacher in the school, but unexpectedly it was returned.Longzan was also shocked, why did he return it?
This is approved by the grand master, why are you not allowed to publish it?
"The world is peaceful, the prosperous age is peaceful and happy. If you bring up the old things again, it's not impossible, but it's a bit inappropriate. Why don't you take it slow?"
Longzan's lips were livid, and his whole body was trembling. What's this called?
At this moment, the door was pushed open suddenly, and Jing Qing walked in directly.
"There's no need to delay! Now is the right time to post! Why, Mr. Han, someone who slanders the red scarf and the nobles of the dynasty can do great things. Let's talk about the facts and tell the truth of the past. How can we be rebellious?"
This teacher Han was so stunned that he had nothing to say, and Longzan's article was published smoothly.
At almost the same time, Xu Da also personally wrote a memoir article, seriously refuting the so-called massacre theory!
Xu Da explained the problem very clearly, it was not about success and failure, but the king's way of being turbulent, and the bandits would naturally disintegrate... He listed all the main rules of the army since the beginning of the army in Linhuai Town.
Not to mention massacring the city, even if you rob people at will and take away their property, you will be severely punished.
Finally, Xu Da raised a question. Although he is the Duke of Wei and the Imperial Censor, he cannot just sit idly by when it comes to the reputation of soldiers... In a word, whoever dares to make up random things will have to wait Go to the lobby and wait for the trial!
Chapter 882 The Case Has Been Solved
As Xu Da, he naturally wouldn't express his opinion easily.What happened this time really made these meritorious generals feel chilling.
They haven't died yet, so many of them popped up, and planted on their heads what they hadn't done.This is too much to justify.
It used to be said that Xungui is not allowed to bully others, but there seems to be a problem, what should I do if someone bullies Xungui?
Don't you believe it?
How do you explain what is happening in front of you?
Chang Yuchun slaughtered the city, Xu Da slaughtered the city, and Zhu Yuanzhang slaughtered the city in two days. Do you dare to believe that the Ming Dynasty was gained by killing the common people?
The Ming Dynasty was people-oriented, and after so many years, it has become a deceptive talk?
No matter what, this matter must be investigated thoroughly, otherwise there is absolutely no way to explain it!
Xu Da just came out to express his opinion, while on the other side, Zhu Chun had escorted a person from Songjiang Mansion to Yingtian, and sent him to Zhang Chengtian.
This person is of medium build, looks about 50 to [-] years old, and has solid muscles. It seems that he should have worked hard in the early years, but his body has gained weight recently, which is not as good as before.
"You are Yu Ben?"
The person bowed and saluted, "This is indeed Yu Ben."
"Why did you go to Songjiang? Why did you abandon your family and what are you going to do?"
"I didn't abandon my family, but I plan to go to sea to find a way out, and I'm worried that my family will obstruct me, so I cut it first and then play it."
Zhang Chengtian nodded, "I see. You are not good at writing, so why are you going to sea? Could it be that you are looking for inspiration?"
"This...of course not. I made some money, and I thought His Majesty would encourage me to explore the sea, so I wanted to try my luck."
Zhang Chengtian couldn't help laughing, "So, you are still a great loyal minister?"
Yu Ben blushed slightly, "I can't talk about loyal ministers. I, I followed His Majesty and fought for many years. Naturally, I am loyal and loyal, and I still look forward to it!"
"Loyal? Fuck!" Zhang Chengtian was not polite, "Yu Ben, you said you were in the army...then you should know about this, right?"
Speaking of which, Zhang Chengtian threw a copy of military regulations in front of Yu Ben, and questioned him face to face.
Because after being criticized by his father, Zhang Chengtian really found out the materials in the army earlier, and he read them carefully from beginning to end.
After reading it, Zhang Chengtian was dumbfounded.
For example, in the army, after daily training, there are reading activities and various competitions.Every now and then, there will be folk art performances.
In addition, there are archery, horse racing, cuju, diabolo... all kinds of activities are colorful.
If the military training part is removed, it is more interesting than school.
He also found out a combat summary written by Chang Yuchun in his early years. After reading it, Zhang Chengtian burst into laughter... He was simply a poor student in his class. Come out and squeeze hard.
One can imagine the sourness.
In fact, just such a summary has already made Zhang Chengtian know Chang Yuchun again.
This person is definitely not just a brave, invincible, brutal and tyrannical killing god.
He also has a simple and honest side. When he is in distress, he is exactly the same as all those who are not good at studying... Just imagine, he really slaughtered the city, so how do you write this summary?
What a joke!
Zhang Chengtian was really pleasantly surprised when he discovered the materials collected by his father. Now it seems that they are all fun.
He threw a copy of military regulations to Yu Ben.
If he is really a member of the Ming army, he should be very familiar with this, and he will come here as soon as he opens his mouth.
But the problem is that he hesitated for a long time, as if seeing it for the first time.
"This, this is indeed a rule in the army. It's just me. I have been away from the army for several years, so I can't remember clearly."
Zhang Chengtian's eyes widened immediately, and he laughed out loud.
"Yu Ben, you can't even memorize the most important military regulations, yet you dare to say that you recorded the events of the early years of the country truthfully, vowed to slander Wei Guogong and the others, and make false remarks. It is most appropriate to use it on you!"
Yu Ben's face changed suddenly, he was no longer calm at first.
Zhang Chengtian was not polite and continued to question.
Once there is a breakthrough, you can't let it go.
After more than a day of interrogation, Zhang Chengtian yawned, came out of the room, looked up at the sky, suddenly felt the absurdity of this world.
Yu Ben's military status was actually faked!
He has been in the army, but sorry, he followed the Yuan army.
Later, he fled back to his hometown, afraid of being investigated, so he lied that he belonged to the Red Turban Army.Later, he simply regarded himself as the Ming army.
He has been educated, can write and count, and can tell stories, and the folks like to listen to him.He gradually became more and more outrageous, claiming that he was Zhu Yuanzhang's guard, participated in several major battles, and made a lot of contributions.
It was because of indifference to fame and wealth that he returned to his hometown.
The folks didn't know much about him, and they all regarded him as a hero.
Later, Yu Ben felt that he could do something bigger. For example, he could rely on this identity to bluff and deceive, go out to do business, and make a lot of money.
It's a pity that the business was not so easy, and Yu Ben lost money all of a sudden, and owed a large sum of money.
He was desperate, and remembering that he could tell stories, he decided to write something to earn some extra money.
But unfortunately, no one is willing to use him.
Facts have proved that when people are desperate, they can do anything.
Yu Ben took out his identity as a veteran, and even faked a confession, and then relied on his mouth, and really fooled the other party... Afterwards, he started to write articles and stories as the emperor's guard who was familiar with military affairs .
The common people were very interested in these news, and Yu Ben became famous after a few visits, and he also paid back the debt.
The day has finally improved.
It stands to reason that everything is happy now, and there is nothing to say.
But then someone came to him and asked Yu Ben to write something about the beginning of the country, to write a book, just like the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Yu Ben refused at first. He knew how much he was, so it was still a bit difficult for him to write a novel.
But he couldn't stand the amount of money he was given, and he also provided a lot of information for his reference.
In this way, Yu Ben plucked up his courage and began to write this book called "Mingxing Unofficial History". When he first got it out, someone from the Ministry of Education found him. What is your intention for the history of Ming Dynasty?
Yu Ben was frightened by this, and quickly took it back, not daring to publish it.
But soon the people looking for him came again. They fiddled and changed the title of the book to "Chronicle Records", and then began to spread it, first in Suzhou, Hangzhou and other places, and after that, even Yingtian appeared.
At first, Yu Ben was quite happy, thinking that he was about to rival Luo Guanzhong.
Just when he was triumphant, news came that someone was going to arrest him.Yu Ben was frightened out of his wits and ran away quickly. He left Yingtian and went to several places, and finally arrived in Songjiang, intending to go overseas.
It can only be said that Skynet recovered, and before he could run away, he was captured by the Arch Guard Division.
Zhang Chengtian was also very speechless after understanding what had happened!
It's unbelievable that a liar can do this!
But after thinking about it for a while, Zhang Chengtian also understood that the real key is not Yu Ben, but the people who help him behind the scenes.Who the hell is it that wants to concoct such a book?
Hiding his head and showing his tail, with vicious intentions!
No matter what, we must find out.
