Chapter 676: Is it good to open a guild hall
The titles of the Ming Dynasty were divided into two parts: the royal family and the foreign ministers.
From top to bottom, the royal family has princes, county kings, towns, auxiliaries, and generals. There are three levels of lieutenant, auxiliary and feng.
The foreign ministers of the opposite sex use the duke, the marquis, the uncle, etc., and the son and the man are not separated. Below the princely uncle, there are four captains of light car, horse, cloud, and en, which can be regarded as the lord and the lord who eats the country's money.
Together, these two parts form the entire Xungui Group.
The foreign surname Xungui can be divided into two parts: one is a general such as the Duke of England and the Duke of Dingguo, and the other is a relative such as Zhang Heling, the Marquis of Shouning, and Zhang Yanling, the Bo of Jianchang.
Compared with Jiangmen, most of these relatives are miscellaneous and waiting for death, and they have never been taken seriously by Jiangmen, which is why Zhang Yue was so tough after hearing about the Zhang brothers.
And there is another reason for this, that is, the Zhang brothers rely on the prestige of Queen Zhang, and they are arrogant and domineering in Kyoto, but they don't have any noble cultivation, and they do all kinds of pickled things like stealing chickens and touching dogs, which can be called hated by gods.
For the sake of these two brothers, not only did the queen come forward from time to time to wipe the buttocks of these two brothers, but Emperor Hongzhi was tormented by these two brothers-in-law. There's no way, on one side is the wife, on the other side is the ministers, and neither of them can afford to offend, so he can only be splinted in the middle and the mud.
Those two are also hob meat type, every time they get into trouble and are passed into the palace, whether it is my sister's earnest teachings or my brother-in-law's scolding and admonition, they are only willing to make promises in front of them, and what should they look like when they turn their heads out of the palace.
In the end, even Liu Jian and other ministers were drunk. There are no big mistakes with these two goods, small mistakes are constant, you can't kill them, people don't care about beating them or something, and they are a good man when they get up. So, simply, everyone doesn't bother to care about these two, what do you like? As long as they don't make too much trouble or provoke their own heads, no one will pay attention to them.
As a result, the two became more and more comfortable. All day long, Jiezhangtai walks horses, sneaks chickens and fights dogs, so unhappy. As for the views of others, there is quite a sense that he is strong and he is strong, he is horizontal, the breeze blows on the hills, and the bright moon shines on the river.
In later generations, whenever it comes to the Ming Dynasty, except for the emperor Zhu Houzhao and the eunuch Liu Jin, his second oldest one can definitely be ranked in the top five of the bad guy list.
What is this, this is not a famous legend through the ages, and it will be written forever. When the bad guy can be to this point, it can be regarded as a kind of realm. Therefore, Su Mo is very interested in these two goods.
In later generations, Su Mo had a strange feeling every time he read history until this time. Because according to historical records, these two people are not traitors at all, and they are not even wicked. At most, that is, two ruffians.
As for the records of bullying men and women, there is no evidence at all that these two people directly handled it. This shows that it is likely that many things were done by the people below, but these two people became infamous and became glorious back-bearers.
It is also based on this idea that when Sun Sihai talked about these two people, Su Mo was not as angry as Zhang Yue, but had the interest of meeting these two people.
Of course, there is a complex of later generations, but also because of the friendship with the old lady of the Zhang family when he was in Wuqing in the past. And the deeper thought is to look at the one behind the two.
Empress Zhang, the woman who was mentioned by later generations and sighed a lot, was actually not as peaceful as in the records. In fact, this lucky woman has no bad temper at all. She has a lot of problems that a woman should have, such as being cautious, jealous, unreasonable, caring for calves, etc.
Or, to be more precise, Empress Zhang, under the pampering of Emperor Hongzhi, is probably more like ordinary women in later generations.
Then, whether Su Mo is willing or not, now that he has passively pushed into the upper class vortex of this time and space, he must prepare a few more hole cards for himself.
Empress Zhang is obviously one of his first choices. You must know that the power of the pillow wind has been not small since ancient times, if you add uniqueness, and the superposition of the supremacy of imperial power, then the power can be described as killing gods and Buddhas when it is used well, who else in the world can stop it?
Let's just say that, that is: the queen is in hand, and I have it in the world. Okay, that's an exaggeration, but it's not quite the same.
Su Mo set the tone, and the matter turned the page. Sun Sihai made a brief report on two other things.
Prison student Jiang Ying is not so easy to find for a while, after all, let alone the Central Plains, just the capital, trying to find someone is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Therefore, hearing that Sun Sihai had already arranged it, Su Mo did not urge again.
Another thing is the problem of shops. Compared to the mansion that Su Mo requested, this matter was much simpler. Right at the junction of the inner and outer cities, it can be said to be the most prosperous location in Kyoto, and the entire courtyard is rented. Not only can the front be used as a business, but there is also the boss's spare time in the back, which is more than enough for both people and warehouses.
Now that they were full of wine and food, several people went to see it on the spot under the leadership of Sun Sihai, and Su Mo expressed his satisfaction.
"What does my brother want to do for a living?" Zhang Yue followed and looked around, and asked Su Mo with some curiosity.
"What do you think, how about I open a guild?" Su Momo said seriously, rubbing his chin.
Burst!
Zhang Yue was so hung that he choked to death with saliva. Can we stop making trouble? I'll go! Let's not mention that you have the sign of a British government on the door of your head, just because you have caused trouble in the past two days, you have to go to the meeting hall? This must be the idea of more death?
If this news spreads, Zhang Yue believes that when this hall is built, it will not be said whether the members can come, but those opponents will definitely rush forward first.
Zhang Yue stroked his chest, this was scared, puff and puff. didn't speak, just looked at Su Mo in a daze, his eyes were sad.
Su Mo felt the hairs on his back stand up, and he broke his head to the side, and said angrily: "I said what kind of eyes are you? warn you, don't mess up any thoughts that shouldn't be had, brother, I only like women, and I'm not interested in those messy things." ”
Stop! Zhang Yue's face turned green. I'm your uncle, what do you mean? Lao Tzu is also straight, well, Lao Tzu is only interested in women. Do you want to be so disgusting?
"I'm going to drop a brother, no, you're the master! You're the ancestor! I said the ancestor, can we be reliable? Don't you really want to do that, right? In that case, you might as well just give your brother a knife, than to endure the crime. Zhang Yue was about to cry.
Su Mo was surprised: "I said, isn't it just to open a hall, as for it, you have to die or live." ”
Zhang Yue said angrily: "You...... I said, brother, what do you think? We're already on the cusp of the storm, and you're going to open another guild hall, so wouldn't that set up a target for people to come up and find death?"
Su Mo was really surprised, "No, I said, why can't you open a hall? I saw it just now, this way, let alone two of them, right? It's not that my brother is blowing with you, we don't dare to say anything else, if you want to say that this is a guild hall, my brother will properly dump them eight streets, and he will definitely make a profit!"
Zhang Yue clutched his chest, about to faint. * said: "Don't ...... Don't say it, throw eight streets, I'm afraid we're going to be beaten to the eighteenth floor of hell by then. Brother, do you know what's going on with the guild?"
Su Mo suddenly realized a little dimly, could it be that there was something else to say in this hall?
Zhang Yue sighed and patiently explained to him. It turns out that the theory of the guild hall is also a relatively new thing in Daming.
Most of the so-called guild halls are groups composed of fellow villagers or fellow workers in the same city. Historically, the guild hall did originate in the Ming Dynasty and reached its peak during the Braids Dynasty.
The first guild hall was built in the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty and was called "Beijing Wuhu Guild Hall". It is composed of fellow villagers from the Wuhu area. Although the establishment of this guild hall was ostensibly to promote mutual help with the villagers, in fact, it was a gathering place for some scholars who were dissatisfied with Zhu Dijing's martyrdom at that time.
Ming Chengzu Zhu Di replaced his nephew with his uncle, and he seized the throne of his nephew Emperor Jianwen. In the final battle, Emperor Jianwen set a fire in the palace and burned everything, even his own bones were burned beyond recognition. This also caused an eternal mystery case, which is the famous mystery of Jianwen's life and death.
During this period, there were a number of ministers and scholars who swore to follow Emperor Jianwen to the death, the most famous of which was Fang Xiaoru, a famous scholar of the Ten Clans.
Fang Xiaoru's case really shocked those who followed Jianwen at that time. Zhu Di's ruthlessness made them finally recognize the gap between the two sides. Hard resistance is obviously not good, only by taking a different chance, from light to dark, can you save your net worth and find another way.
As a result, Wuhu Hall came into being.
However, the ideal is plump, but the reality is skinny. Since the guild hall is known as a fellow villager, it is natural that it will not only accept scholars. Some people who don't know why are eating melons, and after knowing that there is such an organization in Beijing, they have asked to join. After all, with the transportation and communication conditions in ancient times, an organization in which strangers can find their fellow villagers in a foreign land is definitely the most appropriate to rely on.
In this way, more and more people gathered, and in the end, the entire Wuhu Hall completely changed its taste. From a rebel organization that originally secretly resisted Zhu Di, it gradually transformed into a real hometown association.
Of course, among them, the brocade clothes in the hands of Ming Chengzu are very powerful. I won't go into too much detail about the secrets here.
Although the Wuhu Guild Hall changed its flavor in the end, its original purpose was eventually discovered by the royal family.
You must know that at that time, after all, Jianwen's life and death became a mystery, and various versions of the folk version ended in different versions. Zhu Di didn't dare to be too cruel in the end, so he could only secretly make people pay attention.
Later, with the change of emperors, the Chengzu family has firmly held the throne and is unshakable. Therefore, the possibility of rebellion against the clan hall gradually plummeted to the lowest point.
However, time has changed, and the development of the clan has not stopped, but has gradually become richer. From the beginning of the hometown to help each other, to the later industry gathering. Later, even some literati began to gather to form certain groups, also known as "guilds". And this kind of guild hall is the prototype of the party.
Among them, most of them are clear streams. So what is a clear stream? It sounds like a very lofty appearance, but in fact it is just a few literati who have no ambitions. It is precisely because of their unwillingness that they have an unwilling vent, comment on current affairs, impeach political affairs, and be in the limelight for a while.
But everything is opposite. If they are happy, they will inevitably be unhappy when they are targeted. The first to bear the brunt is naturally the royal family. Secondly, there are vested interests.
Needless to say, the royal family is just a thing. With the successive imperial examinations, many people have gradually entered it, so that these people who were originally simple opposites have become the spokespersons of the interests of the two people.
As a result, the guild hall finally developed into a monster that no one could control. The literati and doctors liked and hated him, but they didn't dare to offend. Because at this time, the guild hall already has the strength to guide public opinion, and no one can shake it.
However, it is precisely because of this situation that the elite class is extremely cautious about the appearance of the guild hall. It is easy not to let similar organizations appear. No one knows which side of the new clan will represent the political demands of the new guild hall and which side will ultimately benefit.
Therefore, as long as there are such signs, the elites will suppress them with all their might as soon as possible. If it can be destroyed, it will be destroyed, and there will be no mercy. It is not surprising that even people who have no grudges and no grudges and can't hit them with eight poles will suddenly jump out and kick them at a certain moment.
In this situation, Su Mo coldly shouted that he was going to open a hall, how do you say that Zhang Yue will not faint?
This explanation only made Su Mo stunned and speechless.
