Text_Chapter 417 Confucius Mansion
"How can this be, how can this be, the Confucian family is an example in the world, after the saint, the Duke of Yansheng has been passed down from generation to generation, for thousands of years, how can the emperor act like this!!"
After getting the news that the governor of land reform rushed here with a large group of people, the Kong family in Qufu was completely chaotic, and the complicated crowd surrounded the head of the family, Kong Yinzhi, but Kong Yinzhi had no choice but to lose his temper with the sky and shout and scold loudly. [Full text reading. 】
When everyone saw it, they were immediately deflated, and even the head of the family had nothing to do, what else could they do. The Confucian family is flourishing, there are a large number of people, and there are thousands of people in the side branches of the lineage. If the court held it, they might be able to run rampant in the countryside, but once the court wanted to clean them up, it would be effortless.
Therefore, in the face of this impending catastrophe, everyone was flustered and at a loss, and the entire Confucian ancestral hall was full of discussions.
Some impoverished members of the Confucian family said nonchalantly, "Anyway, these lands belong to the master's family, and we also rent seeds, and if the land is divided equally, I can still get five acres, which is better." ”
Others are thinking about whether the shops they have in their hands can get under their own names. The Qufu county order has always been held by the people of the Confucian family, and the same was true during Zhu Youxiao's period, so with the power of the county order, they have been obstructing the implementation of various laws and disciplines.
For example, commercial taxes, such as exemption from agricultural taxes, etc., and because of the prestige of the Kong family, the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate and various departments in the county did not dare to move. But now, this is not the case, the emperor issued an order to divide the land of the Confucian family.
And from various channels, these business people are well-informed, and vaguely know that this time is not only to divide the land, I am afraid there are other purposes, I don't see how many yamen have come to the province, these mothers-in-law will not come to the small Qufu County because of a division of land.
Kong Yinzhi looked at the chaotic clansmen below, his face was full of wood, and before he could figure out what to do, the emperor's guillotine had already fallen.
"In this world, where is there a matter of taking people's fields for no reason, these fields are also passed down from the hard work of the ancestors, this dog day emperor is going to take it, it is better to go against his mother!" Suddenly, a rude voice rang out, and everyone was silenced.
Their eyes looked at the person who spoke wildly, and they saw a young man in luxurious clothes, but with a pale face, who was yelling with a hideous face.
Rebel!
It's a word that most people don't think about, but it's so tempting at the moment, and of course, it's only for some people.
Some middle-aged men in gorgeous leather robes looked at each other, their eyes passing to each other, and they came to their senses.
Throwing his eyes over, rebellion is a big deal, and it is necessary to think about it in the long run.
Looking back, that's right, you have to sum it up, or let's discuss it here, Qufu County Order is also there.
Kong Yinzhi also smiled and interjected a look, you all come here, let's discuss it.
A group of people excitedly gathered around, but they didn't notice that the atmosphere of the entire ancestral hall suddenly cooled down, and many people glanced at these people in the inner circle indifferently, and then left without looking back.
There is also a rebellion, there is a problem with the braincase, the emperor is here to divide the land, although my family has land under his name, but it is only about ten acres of land, but my family has eight people, according to one person and five acres of land, you can also get forty acres of land, my brain is broken, so I rebelled with you and resisted the emperor.
This account, most people are clear, with the first person taking the lead, and then someone quietly slipped away, and later, people were even more blatant except for the ancestral hall.
The Kong family is a big family, but not everyone lives happily, without worrying about food and clothing, most of them have no land in their names, and their livelihood is generally to work in the public industry, or rent the farmland in the public school.
Although they are in the name of the Kong family, they also have some benefits in terms of tax exemption, and the others really don't account for much. And most of the benefits are the descendants of the Kong family, that is, the group of people who got together at the moment and discussed what to do.
But in an instant, thousands of people in the ancestral hall were all gone.
"Where are they going? Where are you all going? Looking at the decreasing number of people, the noble boy who roared just now shouted in a panic, don't look at him shouting about rebellion, but he didn't know what to do at all, only knew that there were thousands of people in the entire Kong family, and they were all in the army, all of them were their own family, and they would definitely listen to me.
However, the harsh reality struck him a blow, and the man just gave him an indifferent look and left.
That kind of look that seemed to look at a dead person made the noble prince who wanted to be angry suddenly feel a chill in his heart, shivered all over, and didn't dare to say anything, just turned around and shouted at Kong Yinzhi, "Father, father, they ...... They all ran. ”
It turned out that he turned out to be Kong Yinzhi's son.
"Ran away? Who ran away? Kong Yinzhi's son shouted in a daze, and when he raised his head, he was stunned.
I saw that for a while, the ancestral hall that was originally full was empty at this time, and there were a few people dangling at the door, they slowly patted the dust on their buttocks, smoked dry cigarettes and left.
"It's gone, it's gone." Seeing this scene, Kong Yinzhi said stupidly.
"What's missing?" The others woke up from the intoxicated heated discussion and looked up.
At this glance, everyone is stunned, what about people? Where have all the people gone? No one, what do they take to rebel? Do you want to be stubborn and charge into battle?
"What about people?" The head of a branch asked stupidly.
"They all left, and as soon as they heard about the rebellion, they ran away." The noble prince swallowed his saliva and said bitterly, "Moreover, they look at us very strangely, just like ...... It's like looking at the dead. ”
The crowd was silent. Dead people, aren't they, aren't they just dead people now, waiting for death?
The mighty people walked on the avenue and headed towards the county seat of Qufu, and they officially Cui Mingji and his party. These 5,000 people are like the elite of your Yangzhaoji troops.
Three thousand musketeers, two thousand spearmen, five cannons, five mortars, and the end was a lot of firepower. Originally, the Shandong City Defense Army was split from the Beijing City Defense, and the training was not bad, and these 5,000 people were selected by him among the best, and they were even more powerful.
Although it is not as good as the Central Field Army led by His Majesty himself, it is more than enough to deal with the domestic rebellion.
Cui Mingji was in the army, and he was also riding a horse, although the temperature had not warmed up at this time, the wind was blowing, and there was a slight chill, but his mood was good.
Behind him are various high-level officials in Shandong Province, who are chatting with each other at the moment. As they walked, suddenly there was a commotion in front of the procession, as if someone was blocking the road.
"Your Excellency the Governor, I'll take a look." A more agitated North Korean beside Cui Mingji reported, and when Cui Mingji nodded, he ran over to check the situation.
After a while he returned, followed by a dusty merchant.
"The grass people meet the Governor." As soon as he came to him, the merchant knelt down and pleaded, "Please Lord Governor to make the decision for the grass people!" ”
Cui Mingji was a little stunned, he didn't expect that the one who stopped him wanted to sue. He shook his head and smiled and said, "This column is not from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and it does not accept cases, if you want to file a complaint, you have to find him." ”
As he spoke, he pointed to the imperial history of Shandong.
"No, sir." The merchant refused, "The grass people are capable of the merchants of Yanzhou Mansion, and they donated their family's land, and then obtained the qualification for the Chongyang Auction and competed for the road construction rights of Jining Mansion, but after the grass people came to Qufu, they were stopped by the local Confucian family, resulting in no progress in the road construction project now." ”
"The Confucian family really has no law, the grass people said that this is the road that His Majesty the Emperor personally ordered to build, but they don't care at all, the grass people are not allowed to recruit people to start work, and even the money for road construction has been robbed by him, if it is not for the grass people's companions to be loyal, I am afraid that the grass people will also die somewhere."
The merchant cried out with a handful of snot and tears, looking at the miserable appearance, it was really bitter that his heart stretched out.
Hearing them say this, these Cui Mingji became interested, and it was related to the Qufu Kong family, and he had to pay attention to it.
"Are you willing to come forward to correct the Qufu Kong family at that time?" He asked with great interest, and at the same time wrote down another item in his heart, resisting the will and disrespecting the will, destroying the road construction project, and acting as a rebellion.
"The grass people are willing!" The merchant said loudly through gritted teeth.
"Okay, then you can follow the group." Cui Mingji nodded and motioned for the merchant to follow along. The reason why I brought the imperial history of Shandong this time was to investigate the Confucian family, especially the county order of the Confucian family.
Since it is necessary to take the Kong family and test the world, it is very necessary to investigate all kinds of cases, and now it is just another ironclad piece of evidence.
Qufu County is only more than 100 kilometers away from Jinan, and a large team of more than 5,000 people, although it walked slowly, also arrived at the county seat five days later.
Qufu County is just a small county town, if it weren't for Confucius and the Confucian family here, no one would have noticed this small place, a large team of 5,000 people, it was really a big soldier coming to the city, making people tremble.
At the request of Cui Mingji, Yang Zhaoji was stationed outside the city with the main force, and then sent a company of troops to him as an escort and entered the city to do business.
Subsequently, under the escort of capable soldiers and surrounded by the yamen of various ministries, Cui Mingji came to the gate of the Confucian Mansion.
Looking at this mansion that has been praised and famous overseas, Cui Mingji also had mixed feelings for a while, thinking that he was also a son of Confucianism, but now he was going to destroy this mansion with his own hands, it was really mysterious and unfathomable.
"Let's go inside!" He chuckled lightly and stepped into the Confucian Mansion with his feet raised.
With his actions, this action that swept the entire Shandong, and even shook the whole tomorrow, began!
: Let's have a chapter first, and there's one in the code, so I can catch my breath first, and I'm only off work now.
