Chapter 208: Coercion and Temptation
Zhu Biao couldn't help but smile: "What kind of coercion and temptation method?" ”
Li Jin bowed down and replied: "The big families all have children, which is enough to lead the young and strong tenant farmers to resist, even if it is not enough to resist the imperial court, but it is also enough to cause trouble, and the officials can only discuss with them in order to seek stability." ”
Then Li Jin continued: "Moreover, most of the officials here are also from families, and as long as passive resistance is enough, it is enough to make it difficult for the officials sent by the imperial court to move an inch, and there is only compromise under all kinds of difficulties." ”
Zhu Biao shook his head: "Although there are some difficulties, if you really do the errand, it is not impossible to overcome, so why should you be afraid of Shanxi with your back to the imperial court." ”
Li Jin continued: "Coercion is just an appetizer, as long as the anger of the court officials is dispelled, they will naturally take the initiative to bow their heads and give gifts that suit their hearts. ”
Zhu Biao knocked on the table and asked, "What is a gift that suits his heart." ”
Li Jin bowed down and replied: "Those who love money will give him gold and silver, those who love sex will give him his young age, and those who have a good name will help him become famous." ”
"What if you don't love all three?"
"Then find their confusion, or the difficulties of their relatives, and try their best to solve them.
After listening to this, Zhu Biao nodded, looked at Li Jin and said: "I heard that your grandfather was originally an auxiliary official of the Yuan Court Zhongshu Province, and finally he was beheaded for embezzlement and shielding his comrades, which led to the fall of your family, but is there such a thing?" ”
Li Jin's body shook for a moment, but he still responded: "That's true." ”
Zhu Biao smiled and asked: "But this palace also heard that your grandfather was an upright official, and he was quite famous in the government and the opposition at that time, how was it broken?" ”
Li Jin glanced up at Zhu Biao: "Grandfather doesn't love money, doesn't lust, and doesn't want to be famous, only the father of the minister has been weak since he was young, and he has many illnesses until his last death, and the chief officer of the Privy Council has been looking for names to cure his father's illness......"
Zhu Biao also had a lot of feelings when he heard this, which is why so many young people who were inspirational for the country and the people in their early years have become the people they once hated the most after the ups and downs of the Huan Sea.
Quite a clean official, it's not that you can't do it if you don't love money and don't lust, there is always a way to knock on that gap, quite a clean official is a hundred times more difficult than a corrupt official, just like Li Jin's grandfather, do you want to refuse that famous doctor to treat his son?
In the officialdom, if you accept other people's things, you will naturally have a handle, and you will break the jar in the future, and finally end up miserable.
Zhu Biao looked at Li Jin and asked, "If you are in your grandfather's situation, what should you do?" ”
Li Jin knelt on the ground and didn't speak, Zhu Biao smiled, Li Jin is still too young, at this time, whether you believe it or not, you should pick up something good to say, that is what you do.
However, Zhu Biao did not criticize anything, if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if people are observed, there will be no disciples, but asked: "Since there are so many methods, why do you say that this palace is invulnerable?" ”
Li Jin also reacted at this time, he was really stupid, just now he fell into his own memories, and he didn't even say the least words of loyalty, if His Royal Highness minded, he wouldn't expect to make a difference in his life.
Li Jin hurriedly cheered up and replied: "The whole world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's minister, the whole world will be His Highness, not to mention the wealth, their Highness can't afford to give it what His Highness wants." ”
Zhu Biao squinted his eyes and said casually: "Then what does the palace want?" ”
Li Jin replied: "Your Highness's hope must be that the country and the people will be safe, and the people will be able to live and work in peace and contentment......
Liu Jin, who came in to pour water on the side, glanced at Li Jin, who was talking, and shook his head, when will it be your turn to guess Your Highness's thoughts?
Li Jin, who was kneeling on the ground, was talking, and suddenly heard the sound of the table being slammed, and he immediately stopped the words in his mouth and buried his head deeply.
Zhu Biao said coldly: "Get out." ”
Li Jin trembled and hurriedly retreated, Liu Jin came up and poured tea for Zhu Biao, Li Jin was too young, and he was suddenly valued by His Royal Highness, and he dared to speculate at will about the prince's thoughts.
Of course, a courtier must speculate on the thoughts of the superiors, but it is by no means for you to say it, but you should silently understand and cooperate silently, instead of such a big publicity, if the king is not secret, he will lose his minister, and if he is not secret, he will lose his body.
Li Jin, a new science and technology sergeant, has no official and no position, where is it his turn to talk in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, Zhu Biao took a sip of tea and his expression calmed down.
Knocking Li Jin is just a trivial matter, this guy has been a little floating recently, although he is indeed talented, but he still has to polish it more, and instructed Xu Yungong to lead two thousand people to Datong to carry some coal, and it will be autumn soon, so he has to prepare.
As for the family, since Zhu Biao personally came out, they have no room for resistance, just like Li Jin said, they can't afford what Zhu Biao wants, and they can't afford Zhu Biao, and the officials may be afraid of making things big and difficult to clean up.
But how could Zhu Biao be afraid, it's just that he didn't want to break the porcelain, if they really didn't cooperate, Zhu Biao's family couldn't afford to lose a few plates.
They also understand these truths, so after a few days of bargaining, they can be decided, as Zhu Biao expected, the next day they expressed their willingness to cooperate, but they hope to leave their relatives behind, and the list of tenant farmers can be handed over to the imperial court.
Of course, Zhu Biao will not let them go so easily, weakening the scholar clan is Zhu Biao's main purpose, and his huge clan must be divided, otherwise they have land, and they are afraid that they will not be able to recruit tenant farmers?
That Zhu Biao didn't come for nothing, so it was inconvenient for him to say a lot of things, so it could only be His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and if he couldn't bribe the prince, he planned to bribe the King of Chu, after all, the King of Chu would definitely need money in the future.
It's a pity that Zhu Li refused to eat soft and hard, and in desperation, he could only obey the will of the court, hoping that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could leave them a way out.
That night, Zhu Li rushed back to the camp, and after saluting his eldest brother, he sighed: "These guys are really rich, why don't you let me slaughter them, big brother." ”
Zhu Biao leaned on the back of the chair and said: "Where are things so easy to collect, once there are human contacts, even if there is nothing at the beginning, it will inevitably be selfish in the future, not to mention that this time I also brought so many new science and technology scholars and noble children, and set a bad example for them, what will I do in the future." ”
Zhu Li still grinned distressedly, Zhu Biao shook his head, can make His Royal Highness the Prince of Chu so moved, you can imagine what a moving bribe, if Zhu Biao is not in Zhu Li, can he resist it? If other officials come here, will they be able to resist it?
There is a long way to go, Zhu Biao knocked on the table to wake up Zhu Li, who was still dreaming; "They all agreed?"
Zhu Li nodded and said: "What can I do if I don't agree, big brother, you have summoned the Shanxi garrison at the right time, and they are now afraid that after the promise, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will go on a killing spree." ”
Zhu Biao smiled: "With their cooperation, everything will be easy to do, otherwise why would we catch them village by village, and the young people would have run out long ago."
