Chapter three hundred and seventy ninth beat
Looking at the Prairie of Truth that fell to the ground, several cabinet masters only took a look, but no one picked it up to check it out. It was not that they were disrespectful to Zhu Youxiao, but that they had read the content above long ago. Prairie of Truth is now the newspaper with the greatest influence in the entire capital and even the entire Ming Dynasty, how could they not read it?
With the publication of two articles on taxation and the publication of two articles by the clique, Pratyekabud became synonymous with people's hearts to dare to tell the truth in a very short time, especially the sentence "I love my knowledge, but I love the truth more" printed on the front page every day. This sentence quickly became the most popular among scholars.
This sentence was also printed under the Truth Jue Yang Feng's order. At the beginning, this sentence was despised by many scholars. After all, for so many years, scholars in China valued "heaven, earth, king, parents and teachers". For scholars, the status of teachers is second only to their parents. Now some people say that they love truth more than teachers, and naturally have been opposed by countless people at the beginning.
But truth is truth. As time goes by, this sentence has become more and more accepted by people. Today, Pratyekabuddha has long become a must-read publication for many scholars.
At the same time, the "Religious Daily" which was introduced by the Donglin Party to compete with the "Prince Truth" still insisted on the so-called elite route, and the content on it was still obscure classical Chinese. Such articles were naturally difficult to popularize among the people, so they still looked half-dead. If it weren't for the blood transfusions from the Donglin Party and the wealthy businessmen, they would have lost their shorts.
Gu Bingqian glanced at the ground's Truth, narrowed his eyes and stepped forward and bowed to Zhu Youxiao, "Your Majesty, Zheng Zhilong and his gang of pirates are extremely vicious. It is not surprising that Zheng Zhilong's sneak attack on Fujian was discovered by Jiang Ningbo and severely injured them. As for what Your Majesty said, I, the Ming Dynasty officers and soldiers could only watch the bandits escape, because my Ming Dynasty Navy is now in name only, but now Jiang Ningbo has begun to rebuild the Fujian Navy, and it may not take long to inspect the Ming Dynasty's borders again."
Gu Bingqian is worthy of being the chief minister of the cabinet known as the old fry. He clearly said nonsense, but it sounded quite reasonable, which made people admire this guy for his ability.
However, Gu Bingqian's words of mixed feelings made Zhu Youxiao feel helpless and bored. Gu Bingqian's talent is quite mediocre, but because he is good at clinging and seniority, he became the chief minister of the cabinet. If it weren't for finding someone who could replace him, Zhu Youxiao would have let him go back to his hometown to eat himself.
Huang Liji, the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion, also stepped forward and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, calm down. What Gu Ge said was a serious and serious statement. Although Zheng Zhilong is a crime, he should be punished, but the most urgent task at present is to order Jiang Ningbo to recover Fuzhou as soon as possible and kill this beast to correct the law. However, the old minister thought Jiang Ningbo was a pillar of my Ming Dynasty. Even the arrogant Jiannu was defeated by him and fled. Zheng Zhilong was even more troublesome."
"I'm going to discuss..."
Several cabinet masters nodded in agreement, and some people sang hymns to Yang Feng, saying that as long as Jiang Ning Bo takes action, he will definitely succeed, and Zheng Zhilong will definitely be able to capture the barbara such as Balabara.
Zhu Youxiao frowned the more he heard it. Although these cabinet masters did not want to eat Yang Feng's flesh and drink his blood like the Donglin Party members, as vested interest groups, they also had no good feelings for Yang Feng. The two articles "Tax Theory" and "Friends" that Yang Feng had posted a few days ago hurt not only the nerves of the Donglin Party, the Jiangnan rich gentry and the landlord class, but also made scholars all over the world feel unhappy.
In Yang Feng's article, those scholars who do not pay taxes and exempt from land taxes were called the borers of the Ming Dynasty. It is precisely because these scholars, landlords and wealthy gentry class jointly seized most of the land of the Ming Dynasty, which has led to fewer and fewer people paying talents and taxes in the Ming Dynasty today.
Yang Feng not only strongly criticized these people in his article, but also called on the court to exempt scholars from the privileges of scholars, and suggested that the court remeasure the land and implement a policy of the public spending to the public. This undoubtedly offended all scholars. How could these cabinet masters, as representatives of scholars, have a good impression of Yang Feng?
Zhu Youxiao looked at these sings of praise, his face was as deep as water and silent.
The reason why these people sing praises to Yang Feng is that they want to raise Yang Feng up. This is what the Chinese people say about praise. The higher they praise Yang Feng, the heavier they will fall.
Moreover, Zhu Youxiao felt like a mirror. Although Zheng Zhilong had lost a lot of people, as long as you have food these days, how many people would you want to recruit? Moreover, Zheng Zhilong still has hundreds of warships under his command, and as long as he wants to run away, no one can stop him. If Yang Feng cannot wipe out Zheng Zhilong at that time, these people will not be the same as they are today.
"This is my important minister!"
Zhu Youxiao glanced at the cabinet masters standing in front of him, and he missed Yang Feng more and more. Looking at the entire government and the country, it was probably only Yang Feng who would help him so selflessly.
In fact, in Zhu Youxiao's view, although Yang Feng was nominally his minister, his attitude towards him has always been very different. He was neither as afraid of him as the eunuchs and maids in the palace, nor did he fool him like the ministers in the court. In general, Yang Feng was more like a kind brother.
He will point out what he has done wrong immediately and express his opinions and suggestions. He will also tell him many strange things in the world, allowing him to broaden his horizons while also cultivating his own abilities.
In life, Yang Feng would leave him a portion of any delicious food and fun things, and even gave him half of the money he earned from doing business, and he just gave him a brand of the Royal Ming Dynasty Trading Company.
This friendship is the most precious to Zhu Youxiao, who grew up in a place without family affection since childhood. Because of this, Zhu Youxiao was full of disgust and hatred for the Donglin Party who regarded Yang Feng as an enemy of life and death, and the parents in front of him who were thinking about how to plot against Yang Feng all day long.
Zhu Youxiao glanced at Gu Bingqian indifferently and said in an indifferent tone: "Gei Gu, you are all important officials of the court, and they are also role models for the officials of the Ming Dynasty to learn from. My Ming Navy has been abandoned for a long time, and it is not a matter of restoration. Jiang Ningbo is indeed brave, but you can't let him lead a group of landslides to fight the pirates who have been making a living on the sea for many years. Before the Fujian Navy is built, I don't want anyone to say things like quick battles or quick decisions, otherwise I will doubt his motivation for saying this."
