On the west bank of the Qinhuai River, in a luxurious manor of the Duke of Wei, a group of nobles such as Xu Hongji, Duke of Wei, and Tang Guozuo, Marquis of Lingbi, were sipping fine wine and enjoying the singers dancing.

Zhao Zhilong, the uncle of Xincheng, took a cup of gold bottle, pulled the singer beside him into his arms and put his hand in his hand, and said: "Six years of free compulsory education, tens of millions of taels of silver are thrown out like this, is the prince wise or stupid?" ”

Zhao Zhilong sighed as he spoke, how good it would be if he gave himself so much silver!

Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, said: "The prince is obviously inviting the hearts of the people and pleasing the people, and this kind of practice has ulterior motives!" ”

Lingbi Marquis Tang Guozuo gritted his teeth and said: "The national dynasty treats the gentry preferentially, but the prince forced the gentry to pay taxes in the south of the Yangtze River, and not to mention taking our land, he actually dared to make a move against the gentry and merchants, he was really not afraid of heaven and earth!" ”

Tang Guozuo is a descendant of Tang He, and after more than 200 years of development, his family has a large number of fields in the south of the Yangtze River, most of which are encroaching on the land of the guard, and most of it was taken back by Zhu Cihong at once, and he naturally hates it in his heart.

Sincerity Uncle Liu Kongzhao smiled and said, "Isn't this good?" He has taken the interests of the gentry and merchants, and he will definitely make those people hate them very much, and it is better for the Donglin gang to stand up than for us to stand up. ”

Liu Kongzhao is Liu Bowen's descendant, but he doesn't have Liu Bowen's bones, he looks like a leather ball, his eyes sink into the flesh when he speaks, and his eyes are staring at the thing on the singer's chest, which looks very obscene.

Tang Guozuo said worriedly: "I'm afraid that because of the prince's obscenity, those Donglin people don't dare to make a mistake, I'm really anxious for them!" ”

Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, shook his head and sighed: "It is really unfortunate for the dynasty to meet such an alternative prince, and we are unlucky!" ”

The land tax and commercial tax damage the interests of Donglin and the Fushe, and have little to do with the nobles, and the relationship between the Nanjing nobles and the Donglin Fushe has not been dealt with, which is also the reason why the Nanjing nobles have been watching coldly.

Zhao Zhilong said: "I'm afraid that if he solves the gentry, he will deal with Caoyun and salt tax opponents, so can we just sit back and do nothing?" ”

Xu Hongji said: "Don't worry, the prince's soldiers are strong and strong, if we forcibly oppose it, I'm afraid that there will be no good end, let's wait for Qian Qianyi and Zhang Pu to make trouble, this education reform has dug up their roots, they will definitely not give up easily, I'm afraid that something big is brewing now." ”

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, when the official school was popular, the academy was in decline for a time, and the academy became prosperous after the official school was abandoned in the middle of the Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Cihong's indoctrination reform, there is free education, who still runs to the academy, and the academy will end in a few years.

Fushe has the same model as Donglin, and they also eat jujube pills, how could Zhang Pu tolerate this happening?

Liu Kongzhao nodded and said: "When those scholars make a big deal and the entire gentry and merchant class rebel against the imperial court, see how the prince ends, and then I only need to add a little fuel to the fire, and the prince will have to get out of Jiangnan obediently." ”

Zhu Guobi, Marquis of Funing, said with a straight smile: "If there is really that day, Qin Huai Sanyan, who was included in the palace by the prince, is only afraid that he will lose the background and return to his old business. ”

Qin Huai Bayan's name is too famous, her identity is not as lowly as it seems, on the contrary, she is an international star-level figure, and she even has local officials to protect her when she goes to other places, and many people want to marry a wife.

However, Qin Huai Bayan's choice of sons-in-law is to pick someone to marry, even if it is a noble, it is difficult to enter their eyes, in history, Zhu Guobi sent people to find Kou Baimen many times, and finally in the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, he fulfilled his wish, sent five thousand armor soldiers to marry Kou Baimen, and the wedding caused a sensation in the entire Jinling.

Liu Kongzhao squinted his eyes and smiled, and said, "Funing Hou, don't worry, that day won't be too long, Benbo also wants to ask for a try!" ”

The beautiful singer in his arms was a little displeased, and said with a flattering eye: "Uncle, is the slave family not as good as those sluts?" ”

Liu Kongzhao kicked her out a few meters and scolded: "You slut doesn't pee to see how you look, and you dare to compare with Qin Huai Bayan?" Don't you know what to do? ”

Zhu Guobi said with a smile: "Sincerity Bo Zhen is a man of temperament!" ”

Wei Guogong smiled slightly, waved his hand, and immediately two family members escorted this singer who was not forced to count.

......

In the Wenhua Hall of the Forbidden City in Nanjing, Zhu Cihong handled political affairs as usual.

Due to the disrepair of the Forbidden City, many temples were dilapidated, and Zhu Cihong had to spend money for the Ministry of Industry to carry out large-scale restoration.

In recent days, there have been many craftsmen around the Qianqing Palace, and with the wooden hammer struck on weekdays, Zhu Cihong moved his rest and office to the Wenhua Hall near the noon gate.

At this time, Cheng Guoxiang, the secretary of the Ministry of Taxation, asked to see him and said to Zhu Cihong: "Your Highness, official documents have been sent from various provinces one after another, saying that although the implementation of the apportionment into the mu, there are many complaints among the people, and some people say that the treasury is surplus, the people's warehouse is reduced, the taxes are increased and the people's hearts are lost, and the pros and cons are still undecided. ”

Zhu Cihong snorted coldly: "It's really nonsense, these officials are purely speaking for those who have a lot of land with a clear conscience!" ”

"Tell me, which provincial official complains the most? Which province has been the slowest to implement the new policy? ”

Cheng Guoxiang replied: "The officials in the south of Zhili complained the most, and the progress of the new policy in Zhejiang was the slowest. ”

Zhu Cihongsen said coldly: "Okay! Sure enough, it is the place where the wealthy families take root, Wu Zhong, the proposed purpose, Yang Tinglin was transferred to the governor of Zhejiang, and all officials in Zhejiang who do not implement the new policy will be immediately dismissed and investigated!

Zhu Cihong said again: "Then pass on the decree to Huang Degong, so that he can take over the defense of Zhejiang, but if there is a crowd to make trouble to resist the new policy, forcibly suppress it, tell him, things are done more quickly, and the palace will leave him a knighthood!" ”

Sun Yingyuan was named a hereditary earl, and even Zhou Yuji, who came later, was crowned an uncle, and Huang Degong, as the first veteran to follow him, is estimated to have been anxious for a long time.

Zhejiang's consortium is a hard idea, I'm afraid it's hard to be honest without a knife, let Huang Degong use a knife to stab harder, it should make them a docile little sheep.

After Cheng Guoxiang retreated, Zhu Cihong summoned Li Tingbiao and asked, "What's the situation on Xungui's side?" ”

Jiangnan Xungui has been very quiet in the past few months, which made Zhu Cihong very surprised, whether it is to check the hidden fields or spread the land into the acres, it will cause huge losses to the interests of the nobles, why didn't they do nothing?

Li Tingbiao replied: "Today they had a small gathering in the garden of Wei Guogong, first chatted about some irrelevant topics, and then talked about it as a cliché, talking about His Highness behind their backs, and there was no actual action. ”

Zhu Cihong smiled meaningfully: "They can really sit still, it seems that only when the palace leaves Nanjing can they let go of their hands and feet!" ”

Intimidated by the prestige of himself and the Tianwu Army, Nanjing Xungui was afraid that he would not dare to act, so Zhu Cihong decided to inspect below and give the nobles a chance to perform on stage.
