It was a very successful communication.

The two most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty personally came forward to communicate with the most ordinary workers, listen to their views, and help them solve problems.

In fact, the moment they saw the Son of Heaven, several Cao Gong had already convinced themselves that no matter how difficult it was, they would agree. And when they listened to the resettlement plan introduced by Wang Yue and Qin Benchang, they were even more relieved.

"The grass people must explain to the big guy when they go back, and let them obey His Majesty's arrangement."

More than a dozen workers left with red eyes and moved.

Zhu Houxi couldn't help but sigh lightly.

What a good people!

If everyone can be so reasonable, what is the difficulty of changing the law!

It's a pity that the experience of the emperor for more than ten years tells him that although he has made a good start, the matter of Cao Yun is by no means so easy to solve.

Compared with Zhu Houxi's sigh, Wang Yue should be more calm, communicating with Cao Gong is only the first step, in fact, he accompanied Zhu Houxi to the south, marking the beginning of the decisive battle between the two sides.

In the past, the law was changed in Shuntian, in Shandong, Henan, and even Jiubian, this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and to make it clear, this is the north, and the main forces are dependent on the imperial power, and the Son of Heaven made up his mind that no matter how difficult things are, they can be changed, but after crossing the Huai River, especially after pushing to the south of the Yangtze River, things are different.

Here, it is the gentry, the big families, and the wealthy businessmen who have the final say...... Perhaps since Zhu Di moved the capital, the division between the north and the south of the Ming Dynasty has been doomed.

Of course, it is not that there is no opportunity to make peace, the conditions have been opened, hand over the treasure banknotes, let the Jiangnan family be responsible for issuing currency, they will give the imperial court a considerable amount of benefits, as long as an agreement is reached, the two sides can immediately shake hands and make peace, continue to get along with the monarch and the minister, and the world is peaceful.

It's just that no matter Wang Yue or Zhu Houxi, they will never agree.

Clearing the acres of land, monetary reform, eliminating fire consumption, and changing water to sea ...... These changes are the dead knot between the north and the south, the Son of Heaven will not let go, but will continue to advance southward, little by little, and the families, clans, bureaucrats, and businessmen in the south of the Yangtze River will not retreat, the fire of the palace is just an appetizer, and more wonderful means are still to come!

"In the past few days, five dogs have died on Jinyiwei's side."

Lu Bing's face darkened, and he introduced the situation to Wang Yue, and said worriedly: "I mean, can you go south to Yingtian as soon as possible, or go to Fengyang, the central capital, or just go to Anlu, after all, the current situation is too dangerous." ”

Wang Yue bowed his head, "I know about this situation, but have you forgotten?" At the beginning, Emperor Wuzong went to Yingtian, but he fell into the river in a daze. Although Huai'an is not so stable, but in other places, I am afraid that it will be even more dangerous! ”

Lu Bing took a deep breath, his purple face turned pale, his teeth rattled, and he said in confusion: "I really can't figure it out, what a madness it is, I dare to kill my father!" If you let me know, you're welcome! ”

The commander of the brocade guard said angrily.

Wang Yue smiled, "Lu Bing, in fact, at this point, many things have surfaced, are you interested in chatting?" ”

Lu Bing hurriedly said: "I would like to hear the high theory." ”

"Lu Bing, you said that the big family family, what do you rely on to control the people?" Wang Yue smiled and replied to himself: "If you want me to say, it is a two-handed strategy, one is land plus loans, and the other is Gangchang Patriarchal...... These two hands crushed all the people to death. ”

"The land is very clear, annex the land, lease out, the land rent in the north is about 30%, the south of the Yangtze River is generally more than 50%, and in some places even reach 70%. Why is there such a high ground rent? Or what does this amount of rent represent? ”

"This is the bottom line of the normal survival of ordinary people...... If it is higher, the common people will not be able to bear it, so they will simply stop doing it...... If it is low, the common people will have spare money, not only can they eat enough, but they can also study and learn skills, change their fate, and have the opportunity to become a master...... For the big families, landlords and squires, safeguarding their own interests and preventing the people below from competing for opportunities is where their highest interests lie! These people may not be able to explain clearly, but their actions must definitely conform to this iron law! ”

Wang Yue talked eloquently, Lu Bing groaned, most of his words agreed with Wang Yue, but he also had doubts.

"Take our Lu clan as an example, it can be regarded as a big family for hundreds of years, we are not only cultivating our own children, some poor families, as long as they are smart and capable, we will also help them, and even let them enter the academy and study to improve. Wang Yue, you are still too arbitrary! ”

Lu Bing said politely.

"Hahaha!" Wang Yue laughed loudly, "How many poor people are there in the world? How many people are really at the bottom? Most of the so-called poor people are also from poor families, their ancestors have been broad, or they are related to the big families...... Once they make a fortune, they will not hesitate to stand on the side of the family and safeguard the interests of the family...... Even they are more resolute than the original children of the big clan...... Just like that praise! This is the method of the big clan! If you don't give a chance at all, the people below will rebel, but it will be like Huang Chao back then, and the blood will flow, don't you say? ”

Lu Bing's face was tight, although Wang Yue's words were not good, he had to admit that it did make sense, "I believe what you said, but what does this have to do with the changes in the imperial court?" Or rather, what is the crux of the two sides? ”

Wang Yue chuckled, "Qingzhang is an average land, so that the common people are free from rent exploitation." Of course, if this is the case, the situation of the people will not improve much, because there is one more thing, and that is the interest on the loan! ”

Lu Bing frowned, expressing puzzlement.

"Envy!" Wang Yue said without hesitation: "It is precisely because of this thing that the officials can take away the little that the common people have more through envy...... In this way, there is still not much left of the common people. When you have a problem, you need to use money, and you have to borrow money from rich people. And once you are in debt, you become a slave of the rich, and you control people with interest, which is similar to controlling people with land rent. ”

"So this time, Your Majesty and I designed a complete set of changes, clearing the acres of land, a whip law, reforming the currency value, and abolishing the two yuan...... After this set, all the land rent and interest that were pressed on the heads of the common people were removed. The people can also have a little surplus in their hands. ”

"And once the people have a surplus, they can carry out education and vigorously promote education...... Now he has abolished Confucius and Lixue, and advocated the study of mind. If there is a great deal of enlightenment at this time, the common people will jump out of the original shackles of the program and get rid of the patriarchal control. No longer be exploited by the family, and become a living person who can truly control his own destiny! According to their conscience, to plan their own lives and pursue their own future, the group of people who were originally high above will completely fall! ”

Wang Yue smiled and said, "Lu Bing, when you talk about this step, will they be scared or go crazy?" Will you plan to kill the king? ”

Lu Bing gritted his teeth and rattled, "Wang Yue, you are really powerful!" I'm left with only one question now. ”

"Your Majesty, right? You can't figure out why Your Majesty would listen to me, right? ”

"That's right! Your Majesty is not afraid of being overshadowed by you? ”

"Of course not!" Wang Yue said with a smile: "In fact, whether it is sharing the world with scholars and doctors, or sharing the world with the people, it is destined to divide power...... Do you think Yang Ting and that kind of person are terrible? Or are those caustic workers scary? ”

"The workers are reasonable, even if one day, the Son of Heaven is empty, they can keep the royal honor, and it's a big deal to be a mascot. But if it is set aside by the family, it is the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and the first emperor...... That will change the dynasty and destroy the country! ”

Lu Bing sighed and nodded, he really didn't expect that Wang Fugui, who was silent in the past, would have such a powerful vision! Don't forget, their Lu family is also one of them!

"I've got you covered, I wonder if you can tell me the truth?" Wang Yue said with a smile.

Lu Bing's face changed slightly, "Wang Yue, I am the commander of the Jinyi Guard, do you think I will betray Your Majesty?" Don't forget, I've been with Your Majesty for a long time, but I've been much longer than you! ”

"Yes! But these days, why does that person named Li Mo often come to see you? ”

"He? He's my master! And he came over to remind him of something, I have the duty to protect His Majesty......" Lu Bing still wanted to go on, but he had already realized the problem.

"What do you mean...... My mentor Li Mo, he also obstructed His Majesty? Lu Bing shook his head vigorously, no matter what, he didn't want to believe it!
