Chapter 200 Rights and Power (2)

"Don't let your mother goofy farts, you just want to see me laughing!"

Li Zhigang didn't show his face, but he cursed in his heart.

In fact, although he, Tie Xuan and others are both hard-core New Deal party, they also have huge differences.

Tie Xuan and others have been in the local area for a long time and are familiar with the people's conditions. Zhejiang is different from other provinces. All they have done is boiling frogs in warm water, and the new policy will be natural, rather than being as drastic as Li Zhigang.

Moreover, they strongly disagree with Li Zhigang's investigation and conquest. It should be noted that although the officials and gentry in Zhejiang are also greedy, once the waves are rampant, it will not only involve the fields.

There are also commerce, workshops, shipping and customs matters...

After years of hard work, Tie Xuan and others secretly made countless efforts, which made Zhejiang workshops endless and weaving factories endlessly. Customs and maritime trade are making money every day, and transportation is both inside and outside.

Now the scholars will stop the exam. What if the market will be shut down again after the exam?

Who will bear the losses caused?

Once the market is unstable, will the Zhejiang area, which has to rely on grain sales from other provinces, rise sharply? Will it lead to a backlog of goods?

You, Li Zhigang, know more than just their methods, Tie Xuan and the others know that Zhejiang is seriously dependent on Jiangxi's grain, and Fujian merchants have joint shipping. Now that students in the three provinces have stopped taking the exam, it is actually a signal!

For rich people, rising grain prices are nothing? But what about ordinary people who make a living by working?

It has affected commerce and shipping, resulting in a backlog of goods...

Large businesses influenced by officials and gentry are not afraid of backlogs, and at most they can be placed in the warehouse and sold again next year.

But they can use the name of backlog to lay off workers and owe villagers the money for mulberry silkworms...

But there is a backlog of goods and what about the small workshops under the deserted market?

For small workshops, it is suicide! Tens of thousands of medium-sized families are about to go bankrupt and cannot be sustained. That is the hard work of a family, generations! Decades of struggle!

Furthermore, once goods are piled up, the customs will inevitably be deserted. There are tens of thousands of ordinary people who rely on the sea to eat... and merchants that supply these people will suffer a catastrophe.

This is a chain reaction!

In the end, the pressure will still be borne by the Chief Secretary!

He, Li Zhigang, could ignore all these for the sake of the new policy, but Tie Xuan and others could not do it!

The decisions in the court must be in line with the characteristics of the local area, and those who implement the new policy cannot go all the way and do whatever they want!

Li Zhigang naturally knew the differences between Tie Xuan and others and him, and he also knew that the three people in front of him actually had no good feelings for him.

But these three people were all people in the emperor's bag.

The Emperor of the Supreme People chose to accompany the emperor to study, the former minister of the Eastern Palace, the top scholar selected by him, and the provincial censor who was promoted from a white-handed person.

Li Zhigang really doesn't want to offend these three people.

But now it’s not about offending or not, but about these three people who have to see him Li Zhigang joked!

"After all the time, I have never heard of any dynasty or other dynasties that dare to surround the imperial envoy. It's such a big joke!" Li Zhigang sneered, "The imperial envoy has a flag of the emperor's decree, which represents the emperor! The three of you are the heads of Zhejiang. If these people make trouble, will you three be responsible?"

Tie Xuan's eyes condensed, "Sir, are you asking the officials to be sued?"

"Protecting this imperial envoy is your duty! This imperial envoy implements the new policy in accordance with the emperor's clarity and understands the people's conditions. You must cooperate!" Li Zhigang sneered again, "Oh, just watch the officials and gentry surrounding the imperial envoy, and then speak filthy... You have no choice but to ask this imperial envoy to ask the imperial envoy for the constitution?"

Tie Xuan was so upset that he sighed and said, "Sir, why the officials and gentry outside gathered, I believe you know in your heart! At this time, there is no right or wrong. The best way is to let them recommend people who believe and you will receive it..."

Actually, I have already said this very clearly.

It is urgent to meet them first, please comfort them with kind words and let them scatter first. After the people are dispersed, is it to catch them or take them or not?

You are hiding here and not showing up now, and there are more and more people outside. Isn’t it because you are so stalemate waiting for you to be out of control?

As long as they part, they want to gather again, it will be difficult. Everyone is an official. Do you still understand this truth?

But if they keep going here, they can't let the governor send troops to arrest them all. That's not to add fuel to the fire?

Sometimes when officials and gentry gather and the people make trouble, it is just a matter of thought!

"Tsk!" Li Zhigang curled his lips, "If you don't say anything else, it's a serious crime to surround the imperial envoy. Is this a sin to think of a snake? Haha, it's so polite to them!" As he said, "Come here!"

"The villain is here!"

"Go.... Give an order to the Hangzhou Guard Commander to lead his troops into the city!"

"No!" Tie Xuan exclaimed, "Sir, once soldiers pour in in Hangzhou, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

Han Kezhong also said anxiously, "Sir, maybe there are many people waiting for you to mobilize troops in now!"

Jing Qing also hurriedly said, "The consequences of the soldiers entering the city are unimaginable!"

As the saying goes, when the soldiers come in, the officials and gentry houses will not suffer any losses, but what about the market?

Once a suppression is done, arresting people and even killing people! If it is reasonable, it becomes unreasonable!

At that time, people with ulterior motives will stir up trouble again...

If there is a public grievance, it is not just the officials and gentry class that leads!

"Han Kezhong is quite honest!"

Li Zhigang was polite with the words of the three of them, how could he not know that some people were actually hoping that he would mobilize troops into the city and carry out violent suppression!

But he said in annoyance, "If I don't let my imperial envoy dispatch troops, then you will do things! Isn't it your duty to maintain the stability of the place?"

Suddenly, Tie Xuan and the other two were speechless.

The three of them are all practical officials, and they are really at a disadvantage when facing officials like Li Zhigang who have been trained in intrigue.

"You neither dare to suppress the officials and gentry who caused trouble, nor do you want me to send troops!" Li Zhigang continued, "Then you tell me, what should I do? To comfort me? It has already started. Can I comfort me?"

"Does this imperial envoy do what he needs to appease them? If they can appease them, how could the new policy be difficult?"

As he said that, Li Zhigang stood up, "I know what you are afraid of? But have you ever thought about it? The so-called "not destruction and no establishment" is worse than long pain than short pain! Since ancient times, there has been no new policy that does not shed blood?"

"Officials and gentry are responsible for food taxes, which will harm the country and be rich, and the government will be corrupt! Just like this, how can we protect ourselves from the commercial tax?"

"You still don't understand why the emperor sent me an imperial envoy?" Li Zhigang made the words clear, "I am not afraid of me, what are you afraid of?"

Tie Xuan looked at Li Zhigang, "It's absolutely impossible to transfer troops!" As he said that, he turned around and shouted, "Tell Hangzhou Guards that without my official documents, no soldiers or soldiers are allowed to move!"

"Then the officials and gentry outside will be handed over to you!"

Unexpectedly, when Li Zhigang heard Tie Xuan's words, he not only did not get angry, but instead smiled faintly.

Tie Xuan was surprised at first, then understood.

He took Li Zhigang's words again!

"The new policy is a vortex, and you and I are in it, and it is hard to escape!" Li Zhigang said lightly again, "I know that all three of you are people who do practical things, and have always done a lot of good things that benefit the country and the people!"

"But you didn't see clearly, you didn't see clearly the ultimate goal of the new policy! That is, no one can be above the national laws."

"The rules of the Ming Dynasty are rules, and no one can break the rules of the Ming Dynasty!"

As he said that, Li Zhigang suddenly lowered his voice, "The power of officials and gentry cannot be above the imperial power. The court cannot rely on officials and gentry, and cannot compromise with them... Do you understand?"

"Actually, the new policy is just the beginning...you...it's the beginning!" Li Zhigang said again, "You are all people from Jian Zai's heart. Do you want me to say so clearly?"

Then, he looked at the three of them and sneered, "As for fear of chaos? Haha, those who are officials are afraid of chaos, so who are the ones who are the ones who are the ones?"

"Do you know why the word "Quan" is Yimu and Yi? Why is it...it is different from power and power?"

"Right is the benefit given by the stick-holder!"
