Chapter 37: Power from the Ground (7)
When the Ming and Qing Dynasties were still fighting to the death in the southwest and southeast, Chen Kai chose to develop in Guangdong, and even showed goodwill to the gentry class, making the pie round and big, and placing it on the vast majority of the country.
In the eyes of most people, this is naturally a sign of not doing his job properly. However, as political opponents, Zhang Xiaoqi and others would never dare to be negligent in the slightest, because through these appearances, they knew very well how Chen Kai was trying to strengthen himself.
The strength, and the huge figure hidden behind it was something they couldn't help but be moved by.
Gaozhou Fucheng, this is not Guangzhou. It has just held two congresses and has successfully begun to affect the political and ecological environment of Fujian and southern Jiangxi. However, as Chen Kai agreed with the proposal of the Advisory Bureau, and
The news that he had gone to the Consultative Council to vote on allowing the people to go ashore to make a living reached here, and the fast wind made the air here uncontrollably stagnant.
Not two days after Governor Gao Lian Lei Qiong got the news, the local scholar-officials naturally got wind of the news. They gathered together in twos and threes, exchanging information with each other in a low voice, discussing their own opinions, and whispering from time to time.
At the same time, he let out a vague chuckle and lament.
"I heard that Zhang Fujun lost his temper. Now the officials and junior staff in the governor's office are all cautious and cautious, for fear that Zhang Fujun will notice and become a trap for him to vent his anger on."
"It's no wonder. Youdao destroys people's wealth like killing their parents. Even though the current output of Hepu pearls is pitifully small, there are still a lot of people in the governor's Yamen and Fubiao who are counting on them. Now Chen Fujun is just letting things go as soon as he takes action.
The people came ashore to make a living, and it was clear that the carriages and horses were targeting Hepu Pearl. It’s no wonder that Zhang Fujun was happy."
"I don't think it's just Hepu Zhu. I heard that places like Guangzhou, Chaozhou, and Qiongzhou have banned flights to Manila. It's because the King of Fujian couldn't bear to see the Franco aircraft oppressing Han merchants. But Zhang Fujun still allowed it.
Even the Francois from Manila can trade, and it’s not just the Fu Biao who wants to make money to support him.”
"Haha, what's the use of making a living? Just Zhang Xiaoqi's Fubiao, just on the ground of our Gaozhou Mansion, I guess even Guo Dengdi and Zhang Yue can't beat it. If we encounter those under Chen Fujun who are with the Tatars
If you go head-to-head with a great army that has fought head-on, you won't even be able to run away."
"It's not that exaggerated. I should still be able to escape from the boss."
"I didn't say they wouldn't run away. It's just that they are like bears. They probably ran away immediately after hearing that Chen Fujun's army was coming. They would never dare to look at it, not even to take a glance."
After all, we are on the ground of Gaozhou Mansion, and we still have to give Zhang Xiao some face. Therefore, when the joke reaches everyone's ears, the laughter will inevitably be lowered.
However, although this place is under the rule of Gao Lian Lei Qiong, the governor, the local gentry, merchants and powerful people basically maintain a polite attitude towards the governor above who was an orthodox civil servant of the imperial court.
.This is not because Zhang Xiaoqi has done anything that disgusts them. In fact, compared with others, there will always be others who hate him and refuse to die early.
"It is said that Chen Fujun is a man who will never take action easily, and will definitely see the truth when he does it. I'm afraid Zhang Fujun will have a hard time this time. When the Advisory Bureau is established, we will have the opportunity to show off our talents."
People must have a purpose in life. Among them, those with lofty ambitions will inevitably be high-minded and mediocre. Most of them are so-called secular people. They are the mainstream of society.
Those who eat porridge envy those who eat rice, those who eat vegetables envy those who eat meat, and those who wear coarse linen clothes long for the day when they can be clothed in silk and satin and have wives and concubines in groups. When Liu Bang and Xiang Yu looked up at the aloof First Emperor in the crowd, they spent their whole lives
The goal you strive for takes root deep in your heart, and there is no way to remove it.
People of different classes and statuses have different demands for promotion. Even those who are alone in the supreme position still have to fight tremblingly in order to protect the country, expand the territory, and be famous forever. Therefore, the popularity of the imperial examination is fundamental.
It was in line with the demands of the lower class for class improvement. The reason why the emperor vigorously promoted it was to use the new blood generated by the imperial examination to attack the inherent vested interest groups and prevent the imperial power from being squeezed by the old forces.
When the Manchu and Qing Dynasties broke through the customs, they conducted routine imperial examinations within the customs. Even if they were mixed with sand from the Manban and Hanban, compared to Nanming, which had already forgotten this important matter,
It is still a shortcut for class promotion. Therefore, the Manchu Qing Dynasty practiced all kinds of evil laws and could still get the support of a large number of rich or poor Han officials.
The imperial examination was a great weapon used by the Manchus to win over the hearts and minds of the Han people. However, the Ming court, as the orthodox Han government, abolished martial arts. That is to say, Emperor Longwu and Sun Kewang were still a little awakened.
However, even if Emperor Longwu frequently gave the green light to the scholar-bureaucrats in the imperial examinations, they would still need to take the examination. It was still a reality that thousands of troops had crossed the single-plank bridge. Once one or two generations in a row failed the examination,
Class demotion is no joke. However, the consultative bureau established by Chen Kai in Guangzhou clearly aims to use power to win over powerful people at the grassroots level. This is obviously a more convenient way.
Nowadays, Chen Kai is doing a great job in setting up the consultative bureau on the ground in Guangdong, and even the surrounding areas have been affected. However, as a part of Guangdong Province, southwestern Guangdong has always been the same - the local warlords are divided, and the government has to rely on others.
, not to mention the gentry and merchants. The poor scholars are eager to rise to the top in the imperial examination, and the local powerful people are eager to obtain a higher status and achieve further class promotion. However, the Western Guangdong Civil Service Group not only does not follow the trend to establish consultation
Bureau, even the imperial examinations were organized. Seeing the increasingly serious class consolidation, the local knowledgeable people naturally saw it in their eyes and felt pain in their hearts. As a result, Chen Kai's desire to drive Zhang Xiaoqi away as soon as possible became more and more intense.
The addition is universally acknowledged.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaoqi was about to be unlucky, expectations for a "beautiful future" were also growing wildly in the hearts of these people. Of course, there were also some mature people who were worried about the country and the people. Worrying about the war, the people behind Zhang Xiaoqi
Will the conflict between the central court and the Zheng Group behind Chen Kai trigger a chain reaction and allow the Manchus to take advantage?
"Chen Fujun has a good way of fighting the Tatars. Even Hong Chengchou can't do anything to him, so he shouldn't suffer any loss."
The owner of the voice did not explicitly say whether it was a loss to the Manchus or the imperial court, but the drastic changes were coming, and people could not help but feel mixed feelings. However, the changes came much faster than expected. To be precise, it was Chen Kai who made the move, and Zhang Xiaoqi
Naturally, it was inevitable to retaliate.
"New news, new news."
The panting Confucian scholar almost ran into the private room, which really shocked everyone present. However, this "new news" made them forget the impoliteness of the visitor, and a quick-eyed man quickly handed him a cup of tea.
, so that he can continue talking.
"The news just came from the governor's office that Zhang Fujun wants to impeach Chen Fujun..."
"Is impeachment useful?"
Chen Kai is not an ordinary civil servant. As the number two figure in the Zheng Group, he has such a huge vassal and town to rely on. Many tricks in political struggles are ineffective against him. Those two words are exchanged for scorn, at least most of them are like this.
.However, some people seemed to have thought of something and quickly asked about the content of the impeachment, but they were immediately surprised.
