Chapter 594 The worms in the morning

"To put it nicely, it's moving to the tombs, and to put it nicely, it's locking us up."

"Yes, this news is coming down there, and the local gentry are afraid that they will be restless first."

"You must not be confused. If you are confused now, the King of Qi will definitely take the initiative to attack!"

"Move is death, and if you don't move, you're death. It's better to do it!"

"We also have certain strength in the army, so I don't believe that he can cover the sky with one hand!"

In early March, the matter of Lingyi was not hidden from all officials for too long, and it was exposed in just half a month.

After being disciplined by Zhu Youjian so many times, if the conservative officials do not learn to be smart and increase intelligence, it would be a failure.

In the Fang Mansion of Ming Shifang, officials of the conservative party and above all the fifth rank sat in the conference hall, whispering to discuss the issue of this discussion.

No one expected that Zhu Youjian was going to move to the tomb in reverse, hoping to transfer the gentry and powerful people to the vassal kings to free of charge according to the names of the vassal kings.

This time the population target is not the mud legs in their mouths, but a large number of gentry and powerful men.

"quiet!"

When Fang Kezhuang, Feng Quan and the other two voices rang out, and more than a hundred fifth-rank conservative officials shut their mouths one after another. The first ones were Fang Kezhuang, Feng Quan, Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru.

Although the four of them were in charge of the discussion, it was obvious from the expressions of the four of them that Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru did not want to get involved in this matter at all.

Their eyes and noses have already made many officials retreat. After all, they have never won the confrontation with Zhu Youjian for so many years.

Now that he learned that he was going to rebel against the tomb, the officials naturally did not want to fight him head-on.

Or it’s not that I don’t want to fight, but that I don’t have the capital to fight.

On means of production, political influence, military strength, and people's will...

They are not as good as Zhu Youjian for these various things.

In the face of such a situation, it would be against his idea to have a conflict with Zhu Youjian unless someone can attract more troops and Yanshan officials.

Moreover, even if it is pulled into the army, it is useless. Whether it is Zhu Youjian's reputation in the army or among the people, it has reached the point where he can instigate an army or a civilian force with just one call.

In this case...

"Isn't the Apocalypse 11 rifle able to hit three hundred steps? Why not..."

"shut up!"

In the silent environment, I don’t know if it was the idiot who actually proposed the idea of ​​assassinating Zhu Youjian.

Indeed, after the rifle appeared, the cost of assassinating the princes and powerful men became lower, but this cannot be said that assassinating Zhu Youjian is very simple.

"What after killing him?" Feng Quan, who was sitting in the main seat, cursed:

"What would the people from the Governor's Office in the Five Army think? There are so many princes in the Qi Palace, and any one of them will be the new emperor. At that time, it will probably not be as simple as moving tombs, but the nine clans!"

Feng Quan did not expect that such idiots would appear among this group of people, and he could actually think of a scene like assassinating Zhu Youjian.

If there is at least a way to survive when moving tombs, then assassinating Zhu Youjian is to use the nine clans to bet on whether the arrogant soldiers and generals of the Governor's Office of the Five Army have good intentions.

The conflict between civil officials and military generals of the Ming Dynasty never disappeared, but was just hidden underwater.

If there is an opportunity to kill civil servants openly, the people from the Governor's Office of the Five Army will never be ruthless. First, they falsely accused Zhu Youjian of his death to the emperor, prince and civil servants, and then they will support Zhu Cilang, the eldest son of the prince of the Qi Palace, as the new emperor and send troops to "put down the rebellion".

”.

By then, these people will probably really become "branded and sold firsts".

Feng Quan just wanted to stop Zhu Youjian, not to look up his head on the flagpole!

"It's ridiculous!"

"Today, we will be killed."

"I don't know how to squeeze into us..."

All the officials began to complain about the person who was assassinated just now. Just by his words, all the people in the mansion had to be buried with him.

Fortunately, he was finally stopped by Feng Quan, otherwise when the news spread, everyone and the nine tribes would not want to live.

"The things are difficult to handle now, and what I worry most is that he plans various matters to settle us."

Fang Kezhuang, the Donglin Party, looked worried, and Feng Quan felt that he and his group had no capital to negotiate.

They have been hiding the specific population in the south of the Yangtze River, concealing and reporting less taxes in order to benefit the gentry below.

As a result, the Ming Dynasty has developed to the point where it does not require taxes from the three provinces in Jiangnan to operate normally.

In this case, the King of Qi could completely exempt Jiangnan from taxes for one year, and then clean up all uncooperative Jiangnan gentry in one breath.

"He was so happy to get rid of the money before, probably to test whether the Ming Dynasty could bear the taxes lost to the three provinces in Jiangnan."

Feng Quan felt a headache, especially about Zhu Youjian's age.

Back then, the five parties of Qi, Chu, Zhejiang, Xuankun persisted with the idea of ​​killing Zhu Youjian. Now twenty years have passed, and the five parties have changed one leader after another, but Zhu Youjian has become more and more successful

Stronger.

Now Zhu Youjian is going to attack the gentry below them. Once the gentry falls, their conservative party officials will become rootless duckweed and can only float away.

Feng Quan had a toothache, but looking at them, Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren couldn't help it.

They can see that the conservative school has now fallen to the point where no one can use it.

The current situation is so clear. Whether it is the change of Fang Congzhe, Sun Ruyou, Zhu Guozuo, Shen Qing and others, or the former leaders of the party, it can be said that as long as he is a smart person, he knows how to do it.

What's the result? At the moment, these people can't even understand such a simple situation.

"It has never been bad to move to the tomb overseas. At least, the King of Qi, who checked and balanced the gentry. Moreover, the overseas vassal kings will definitely rely on the gentry and powerful people going out to strengthen their local rule."

Zhou Yanru couldn't stand these idiots anymore and couldn't help but speak:

"The court is strong and the horses are strong, and the people are in control of the people. Confrontation head-on is not only unfavorable, but also ineffective, and it is impossible to do anything."

"The most urgent task at the moment is to inform the local gentry and powerful people to quickly sell the houses and fields in their hands, either actively move overseas or actively move to major provinces that require the people to immigrate to the court."

"Anxi, Beiting, Shanyu, Modong, Donghai, Nanzhou, Old Port, Luchuan..."

"These are places where the imperial court needs to strengthen its rule. As long as they move to these places, even the King of Qi will not be too entangled."

Zhou Yanru's idea was very obvious, which was to sell all assets before the King of Qi wanted to take action and move some provinces that King of Qi would not take action.

If the gentry all did this, Zhu Youjian would definitely not attack them.

"If this kind of news is released, it may cause chaos in the gentry in the world."

Fang Kezhuang, who was born in Shandong, spoke hesitantly, but Zhou Yanru was too lazy to continue talking when he saw this. He stood up and bowed:

"I've said that, I believe you have already understood what to do."

"The vassal states, overseas, or magistrates. I think the gentry below knows the choice better than you."

Zhou Yanru finished this and left Fang Mansion.

Seeing this, Wen Tiren immediately stood up, bowed to Feng Quan and left the Fang Mansion.

Many people who made decisions also left the house, leaving only some officials who were reluctant to let their family property or could not withstand the pressure of the gentry.

All of this was revealed to Zhu Youjian the next day by the person who was placed in the Qi Palace.

"There are actually a few smart people..."

When Zhu Youjian received the news, he was sitting in the Hall of Mind to have dinner with Yuan Xipin.

When he learned that someone had proposed to sell his property one step ahead of time and move to a remote province, he immediately guessed that it was one of Zhou Yanru, Wen Tiren and Feng Quan.

As expected, Zhou Yanru was indeed more impulsive than Wen Tiren and Feng Quan and was not sophisticated enough.

"Your Highness, who mentioned the rifle in the discussion, do you want it..."

Lu Wenzhao arched his body behind Zhu Youjian to remind him carefully, and Zhu Youjian also underestimated when he heard this:

"It depends on his choice. If he wants to resist stubbornly, then follow the "Da Ming Law"."

Zhu Youjian is not a fool. At this critical moment, it is impossible for him to leave the Qi Palace.

All he had to do was to live in the mansion from this year and start to solve the affairs of the gentry.

For him, the affairs of the gentry were not difficult. He was no longer the person who was the gentry who was not afraid to vent his anger loudly.

Even if the gentry in the three provinces of Jiangnan refused to pay the land and grain, the Ming Dynasty still had an annual income of 50 million taels.

At worst, the railways are all shut down for one year, and only officials and military salaries are spent. Then it is enough to deal with the gentry with a thunder blow.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youjian stood up and said, "I'm full, you can eat slowly."

Zhu Youjian showed a kind smile to comfort Yuan Xipin, Zhou Sujie and others, and then turned around and left.

Seeing this, Wang Chengen, Lu Wenzhao and others followed one after another. Compared to the calm wind and gentleness of the Qi Palace, the East Palace at this moment was full of uneasiness.

When the Qi Palace no longer provides shelter, the new policies of the Eastern Palace were no longer implemented.
