Three hundred and sixtieth eight chapters are kneeling
Along the way, the truths that need to be said have been explained, and the explanations and retentions have been done. But if it is just that, and you think that the matter is over, then you should simplify the matter. After all, neither Zhang Ximeng nor Zhu Yuanzhang thinks that from now on,
These people will change their minds and change their minds, which is too simple.
It's time to take the most critical position.
among the crowd,
After a little hesitation and panic, in fact, the script envisioned by these people was not like this... Zhu Yuanzhang defeated Chen Youliang and entered Jiangxi with his army. If he wanted to rule steadily, he must take appropriate measures according to local conditions.
After all, what kind of hero can't understand how to adapt to changes? So the normal script is that they congratulate Zhu Yuanzhang, the two sides talk, the Jiangxi gentry expresses their loyalty, Zhu Yuanzhang expresses his kindness, and then everyone is happy, and they live in peace and harmony between the emperor and his ministers. But this group of people has absolutely no intention of doing so.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Jiajun not only had no intention of compromising, but also did everything possible to equalize the land. He did not even leave any land for learning and put Confucius and Mencius among the disciples. It was tantamount to a psychophysical attack, a double blow, and a solution to both the symptoms and the root causes.
Cure them all.
It is tolerable, but what is intolerable!
Qian Tang gritted his teeth, he was really a bit of a jerk, "Your Highness King Wu, since the common people have said that they will die for Confucius and Mencius, they will never break their promise! If the King of Wu wants to kill people, there will be people who take the initiative to die starting from the common people.
!
Then we will make it happen for you!
Zhu Yuanzhang put his hand on the sword, but faster than Zhu Yuanzhang, Xu Da drew out the sword and sneered: "Sir, this prince despises warriors and looks down on people like me, so he asked me to send him to see his master, their master and disciple
Go to the underworld and talk about the laws of nature and how people want to go!
Lao Zhu subconsciously wanted to nod, but unexpectedly, Zhang Ximeng spoke.
"Xu Da, this person has offended the lord and opposed the national policy. According to the truth, it is not an exaggeration to destroy his nine tribes. But since the lord has said it, it is not appropriate to let them express their opinions casually and kill people at this moment.
After Zhang Ximeng finished speaking, he turned to Qian Tang and said: "You are not willing to be loyal to the lord, what are you going to do?"
I, it’s not enough for me to go back to my hometown to study, work on the fields, and just be an idler in the mountains?”
"Okay!" Zhang Ximeng said with a smile: "But you have to remember that any property and buildings in your family that exceed the regulations must be handed over in full. No more than that is allowed to be kept.
Also, in the future, all the world will be governed by official schools. If you want to set up private schools, open academies, or hold lectures and gatherings, these things are not allowed. Furthermore, if you want to write articles or publish books, you must also obtain permission from the local government. In addition, you can also go on study tours.
The situation must be explained in advance, filed for record, and given directions before proceeding. Qian Tang listened to Zhang Ximeng's requirements one by one. The flesh on his face trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of fear. These regulations were ten thousand times more uncomfortable than killing him.
!
"Xiang Zhang, you, what you do is too outrageous, isn't it? Aren't you afraid of Shilin's cold heart?"
Zhang Ximeng smiled and said, "We can't kill you casually if you don't want to follow the King of Wu, but we can't guarantee that you will harbor resentment, gossip, and ruin the country. You can't let you do whatever you want, right?
, according to your extortion.
Zhang Ximeng didn't care about Qian Tang Tiezhen's face and turned to the others, he laughed and said: "I know that for so many years, scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, you have always been superior. Don't think that the Yuan Dynasty looked down on scholars, but they were poor scholars, even if they failed to pass the imperial examination
, and they had little strength. But those who were famous and had property could not only be officials in the Yuan Dynasty, but also help collect taxes, and their lives were very unhappy.
Remember that the emperor and his disciples all over the world were in the same year as the emperor and his five people. What I just said,
Working around the fields all day long, sweating through the fields, just to have a full meal. If there are no natural disasters, no exploitation by the court, and no illness, it will be Amitabha. Thank God.
"I think that our country of Wu in China does not need to provide for scholars who are unwilling to cooperate. We will not be as useless as Zhao Song. We need you to polish your hair. Lin Fentian also wants to tell all scholars to say goodbye to children who will not grow up.
, don’t think that there are benefits to acting like a baby. After Zhang Ximeng said this, the whole audience was shocked.
Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang thought that Zhang Ximeng was guilty of an old habit, and he couldn't take action when the trouble came.
But his reasoning made Zhu Yuanzhang feel comfortable.
For the scholar-officials, killing them may not be the most painful thing. After all, they sacrifice their lives for a royal staff just to be famous in the world. There are many such top-notch ones, but depriving them of their status as scholars makes them unable to be high-ranking scholar-officials.
Definitely the most deadly.
Let them be like farmers, facing the loess with their backs to the sky, which will make their lives worse than death.
But in other words, why are they so superior and why do they have enough food and clothing?
I'm not bullying you, I'm just letting you live the same life as ordinary people. Why can't it be okay?
Acres are divided according to head, and everyone is the same.
Since the official school is booming, it will not be possible for anyone to set up private schools in the future, and it is not aimed at you, Qian Tang.
As for managing articles and books,
This is natural, both in the Southern Song Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, people were punished for words.
Whether it was the Wutai Poetry Case or the Qingyuan Party Ban, I have never been soft on pseudo-study and heresy.
What Zhang Ximeng said is all reasonable and reasonable, but why does it make these people so frightened?
The reason is very simple, because it can really be done!
Zhu Jiajun always speaks the truth, and what Zhang Ximeng said will not be discounted in the slightest.
In other words, as long as you choose to leave today, you will be a farmer for the rest of your life, without any luck.
Qian Tang's face was pale, his hands and feet were cold, and his face was shaking slightly.
He really didn't expect that he would reach this point. He even thought that as long as Zhu Yuanzhang was willing to humbly accept advice and treat the virtuous corporal, he would be willing to serve the Zhu family army.
But how could things become like this?
What should I do?
He was completely at a loss, could he really face the loess and turn his back to the sky from now on?
"Brother Wei Ming, what Prime Minister Zhang said is true. Farming the fields and enjoying family life may not be a wrong path. You'd better make plans in advance!"
Qian Tang turned around suddenly. The person speaking was none other than Yu Gaomen, one of the gentry and celebrities who came with him this time.
It's interesting to say that his name is Yu Gaomen, and his family is indeed very high... His father's name is Yu Ji, and he was also a famous Confucian scholar in the Yuan Dynasty, no worse than Huang Pan, Jiexisi and others.
If you go back further, the predecessors of the Yu family are even more remarkable.
It was Yu Yunwen, the Ming Prime Minister of the Southern Song Dynasty.
If you go back further, you can even trace it back to the famous official Yu Shinan in the early Tang Dynasty...
With such a terrifying family background, he really deserves to be called a high-ranking person!
When he stood up at this moment, his words were like a knife stabbing into Qian Tang's heart!
"Brother Gaomen, why are you in such a hurry?" Qian Tang said through gritted teeth.
Yu Gaomen didn't say anything, he just laughed. Then he took out a pamphlet from his arms, held it up with both hands, and handed it to Zhang Ximeng.
"Xiang Zhang, here is the distribution of wealthy families in Fuzhou and other places, as well as a rough estimate of the amount of their respective fields... It took Wan Sheng almost a year to find out.
Zhang Ximeng pondered for a moment, but he didn't pick it up. Instead, Sun Yan came over, took the manuscript in his hand, started to browse it quickly, and then said: "Prime Minister Zhang, it's true!
Zhang Ximeng took the lead, and then his eyes fell on Yu Gaomen.
"How did you think of it?
Replying to Prime Minister Zhang... This is a famous scholar in Jiangxi Shilin and a local tycoon. But all the people came to serve as officials. I didn't understand it at first, I just thought it was because the days were getting easier. God, the local masters are worthy of it. And according to Prime Minister Zhang
Talking about it, traveling around,
We, the Yu family, have been officials for many generations and have experienced the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty. We also know that when Yu Gaomen raised his head with excitement and clenched his fists, he said, "Divide the land equally and save the people. Use the power of all the people to drive away the barbarians.
Restore China! This is what we need to do now! Abolish the school fields, establish official schools, educate the people, and let a hundred schools of thought contend... This is the new Spring and Autumn Period. At this juncture, how can we be content with the old spring forest and do nothing?"
Yu Gaomen's words were shocking and enlightening.
A family with many famous ministers is really not simple.
He came with these people and had long thought of stabbing them in the back, otherwise he would not have prepared a property inventory. As expected, there were hundreds of people of all kinds.
He also wanted to see the situation of Zhu Jiajun. If Zhu Yuanzhang smoothly accepted the suggestions of Qian Tang and others, then there would be nothing more to say. Let the nephew light the lantern as usual!
If the two sides can't argue, they may be able to fight back.
But the fact is that Zhang Ximeng crushed them all, and the pace was beyond Yu Gaomen's expectations.
Pulling down Confucius and Mencius, offering sacrifices to hundreds of families, promoting enlightenment, and even giving poor children the opportunity to go to school... These ideas really frightened and shocked Yu Gaomen.
He finally found an opportunity and came out to give Qian Tang a hard blow!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the young scholar. After a long while, he suddenly smiled and said, "It seems that there are so many scholars in the world, and they are divided into three, six, and nine grades. As soon as Old Zhu said this, several Confucian scholars couldn't wait to rush in.
Come out and bow down on the ground.
"The King of Wu is here, and the common people are willing to serve the King of Wu!"
After someone took the lead, dozens of people fell down one after another. The speed was jaw-dropping, and there were less than ten people left.
Zhu Yuanzhang had no expression on his face and simply said: "You stand up to equalize the land."
After a moment of hesitation, the few remaining people also bowed down, including Jie Wen'an. Only Qian Tang was left standing alone.
