However, amidst all the commotion, there are always exceptions, and this is the case in the Chen family at this time. Chen Yuting's promotion to the third rank of General Administration of Customs is the glory of the entire Chen family. In the bright lights, Chen Zhenhui kept congratulating her father.

With.

As the youngest son, he was naturally the most favored by his father. In addition, he continued to be a scholar and passed the examination, showing his extraordinary talent, which made Chen Yuting even more happy.

"Father, is your Majesty really going to confiscate the land in the world?" Both father and son are people who are interested in official careers, so naturally the topic of conversation turned to this topic. Hearing this, the other three sons also asked curiously.

This is the hottest topic in the capital today. As a reference, they have naturally heard about it and even discussed it with others. However, because their father is an official in the court, they naturally favor the emperor, so they were rebutted and rebuked miserably.

At this time, when I heard my brother asking this question because of his young age, I naturally wanted to listen carefully.

"This..." Chen Yuting twirled his beard and didn't know how to speak. Although he also participated in this morning's meeting, he stood at the back and had no qualifications to participate.

Of course, he would not tell his son about this. Anyway, he is now a senior official of the third rank. Although he cannot participate in decision-making meetings at the ministry level, which requires a second rank or above, he is still a senior official of the Ming Dynasty and can always know.

Some secret information.

All the ministers were surprised and in disbelief at the emperor's sudden decision. At that time, there were objections in the court, and even death remonstrances broke out. A minister was killed in the Jinluan Hall.

"Ah!" The four Chen Zhenhui brothers were so surprised that they couldn't close their mouths at this news.

"Originally, I wanted to ask Mr. Xu Guangqi of the cabinet to ask about the situation, but suddenly he, Li Shoufu, and Governor Sun went to the palace together. You don't have to guess, I know that they went to the emperor to remonstrate." Chen Yuting

He said mysteriously that although this was something everyone knew, it was only limited to officials attending the court meeting. This time, his behavior happened to attract the attention of several sons.

"Dad, what's the result?" Chen Zhenhui couldn't help but ask.

"The result?" Chen Yuting glanced sideways at him, "Needless to say, there was no imperial edict, so it was obviously a failure."

"Ah!" Chen Zhenhui shouted in disappointment. His family is also a landowner with a large land. Naturally, he does not want the land to be nationalized. But at this moment, his father has just been promoted and has taken the benefits of the emperor, and he seems to be too opposed to it.

ah.

"Ah what!" Chen Yuting said disdainfully, "Your father and I are now a third-grade official. Based on the new salary, I earn at least a thousand taels of silver per month. Are I still afraid that I can't support you?"

"No, dad, it's just..." Chen Zhenhui smiled and shrank her head.

"I'm just unwilling." Chen Yuting glanced at him, but couldn't tell what he was thinking, "However, although the elders are tight-lipped, some news eventually leaked out. With your father's and my rank, we can retain three thousand acres of fertile land.

Used to establish a reclamation company.”

"Three thousand acres? That's great!" Chen Zhenhui clapped her hands and laughed. Although her family was a landlord, they did not have three thousand acres of fertile land. With the extra space, they could obviously buy more fields.

However, after laughing for a while, Chen Zhenhui seemed to have thought of something, and said with some hesitation, "Dad, will this extra share be divided among the clan?"

"Partition?" Chen Yuting's eyes were condensed, filled with inexplicable emotions. He snorted coldly, "How can the imperial court's policies be elusive to these old men? They really dare to take refuge in us, so that we, father and son, can make a fortune.

Save money on purchasing land now.”

After hearing that officials of third rank or above could reserve 3,000 acres of land, Chen Yuting felt that there was a lot of mystery in it, so he made a special inquiry and got more detailed information.

The right to use this land belongs entirely to the reclamation company. If a domestic reclamation company wants to contract the land use rights, it must go through layers of approval. At present, only reclamation companies under the names of officials do not need to be so cumbersome and can directly do so.

Established and won the contracting rights.

If those old men in the clan really dare to entrust the land to his name, he will never be polite. This is an honest and fair way to collect profits. Anyway, after the land is nationalized, it does not matter who the land belonged to before. What is important is the land.

Who has the right to use it? And his three thousand acres of land were recognized by the emperor. How could those old men take it back?

"I really hope they can be more naive, so that I can get a free fortune." In order not to waste the three thousand quota, he must have bought a piece of fertile land before nationalization came to his hometown, and he just spent it like this.

How can the money be compared to the money given by others?

Thinking deeply, Chen Yuting couldn't help but sneered.

"Dad?" Seeing her father's weird sneer, Chen Zhenhui couldn't help shouting. He couldn't figure out what was going on, so naturally he didn't know what his father was thinking.

"Oh!" Chen Yuting came back to his senses, responded, and greeted, "Come on, come on, today is my father's happy day. Don't talk about this. Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up. We obey the orders of His Majesty the Emperor.

That's all. Come and eat." Chen Yuting raised his glass again and changed the subject.

"I wish my father a smooth career and a prosperous career in officialdom!" The four sons raised their wine glasses and congratulated him in unison.

"Okay, okay!" The happy scene of the whole family made Chen Yuting so happy that he drank wine again and again.

"Looking at Dad, it's obvious that the backend of land nationalization is not that simple." Chen Zhenhui secretly guessed that her father's attitude made him faintly aware that the backend was definitely not simple. "I hope nothing happens to Brother Zhang."

At this time, Brother Zhang Pu, whom Chen Zhenhui missed, was drinking wine enthusiastically with a group of students. Chen Zhenhui had a father who was an official in the capital, and others were not too generous. Some were officials in the capital, and some were doing business in the capital.

The present house for gatherings was donated by one of his sons.

"Everyone, please listen to the next words." Zhang Pu blushed and shouted with one foot on the stool. With his extraordinary talent, knowledge and eloquence, he quickly won some places. Today,

His behavior at the evening party gained some prestige. At this moment, he was shouting, and the others gradually quieted down, intending to listen to what he had to say.

"You are all very prestigious people in each government. There must be many people who follow your orders in this government." Looking at their reactions, Zhang Pu was very satisfied and shouted out his thoughts loudly.

"We should all unite and petition His Majesty to revoke the land confiscation policy."

"There must be villains around your majesty, so he came up with such a strategy that caused chaos in the world. I want to unite and clear your side!" Zhang Pu shouted with a red face, his expression was high, and there was indescribable passion in his eyes.

"Yes, unite and Qingjun side!"

"Qingjun side! Qingjun side!"

Many students were shouting with red eyes. They had drunk a lot of wine themselves. At this moment, they were incited by Zhang Pu's sweet words and immediately stopped caring.

Needless to say, Zhang Pu’s literary talent and speaking skills were passed down to future generations through a tombstone record of five people, not to mention his ability to incite the masses. After his description of the violent tax resistance, he immediately became an act of justice. This confusion of right and wrong

The ability is breathtaking.

Although he was not as mature as he would be a few years later, he had already made his mark. With just a few words, the atmosphere in the hall reached a climax, with everyone shouting "Qingjunzi."

Seeing the large number of students who were so fanatical about him, Zhang Pu felt extremely inspired. That's it, that's it. I can also follow Mr. Donglin's path, gather a group of hardcore people, and perform the acts of a minister in a commoner's body.

Control government affairs among the people.

Commoner Prime Minister!

Yes, this is it, this is what you need.

Zhang Pu thought in an extremely intoxicating way, and as the atmosphere was heated, he took advantage of the victory to pursue the victory, and immediately wrote a message to Qing Jun, and asked everyone present to sign their thumbprints as a reason for contact the next morning.

When he finished all this, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't expect that he succeeded so easily.

Tomorrow, as long as a large number of students gather together tomorrow, we will go to the palace gate to petition, asking His Majesty to take back his order and kill this villain Li Ruhua to apologize. It was this villain who deceived the emperor and introduced such a policy. He should be killed.

Everyone had no objections to this plan and applauded one after another, and then dispersed to contact the places where students gathered in their respective prefectures and counties. Those who could be invited by Zhang Pu today were all wealthy and had extensive land in their families, although they were not as good as

The Xu family in Songjiang boasted that they had tens of thousands of acres of fertile land, but they still had four to five thousand acres. They were naturally unwilling to face the emperor's policy of nationalizing land.

In addition, they have strong local power and are used to gathering students to attack the government, so they don't seem to care at all about this petition. After so many years of attacking the government, nothing happened, so what happened to the palace this time?

There are so many of us, what can the emperor do to us? The most we can do is give us a lesson.

They were naturally willing to take such a high-return, low-risk action. And their high emotions made Zhang Pu extremely satisfied.

Mr. Donglin, Gu Xiancheng, is the person he admires most, and now, what he is doing is copying the path Gu Xiancheng has taken.

He gathered people who were against Zhang Juzheng, so I gathered people who were against the emperor's policies. He united people's hearts with his lectures, and I united people's hearts by seizing the palace and storming the palace.

As long as this matter is settled, no matter whether it succeeds or not, I will become the center of attention. At that time, I will be able to gather all the officials and gentry who oppose the nationalization of land under my command, establish a government, and control the government, just like Gu Xiancheng did in the east.

Lin Dang.

Thinking of the wonderful thing, Zhang Pu couldn't help laughing.

He was originally an opportunist. Since his establishment and restoration in Nanjing in the original history, he has imitated Donglin in everything, discussed the government affairs with Qing Dynasty, guided public opinion, used public opinion to influence officials, and manipulated government affairs. Now, seeing that the emperor is mishandling government affairs,

The public was furious and the whole world was in rebellion. How could he give up on this God-given opportunity?

Even if he is secretly fighting against the emperor, he doesn't care. He only cares about what he gets. If the benefits are big enough, he will dare to do anything!
