Chapter 74: The Yang family's father and son turned their faces

"If you want to talk about the history of the Qiao family, you have to mention the ...... of opening the Chinese law" Wang Yue smiled unhurriedly and said: "The opening of the Chinese law is the rule set by Taizu back then, in order to solve the problem of insufficient food for the soldiers in the frontier, merchants are encouraged to transport grain to the nine sides, and then according to the distance of the road, how much grain is transported, in exchange for salt." After getting the salt, go to the salt field to get the salt, and transport it to the designated area to sell it for profit, compensate for the consumption of freight, and earn a certain profit at the same time. ”

Some people have always commented that Zhu Yuanzhang does not understand the economy, and he governs the country by relying on a single fierce word, killing people and exterminating the clan at every turn, but just from the perspective of opening the Chinese law, Zhu Yuanzhang's economic attainments are definitely not low among the kings of the past dynasties.

The imperial court does not need to spend money, it can ensure the border army, and also supply salt to the people of the world, which can be called a lot of money.

It's just that under this model, businessmen can only make hard-earned money.

"The Qiao family has transported grain for several generations in exchange for salt, and in order to reduce freight expenses, they simply recruited people and cultivated land in Jiubiantun, which is the well-known Shangtun! In less than 20 years, the Qiao family accumulated tens of thousands of acres of land and more than 300,000 taels of family property. ”

Wang Yue was still going to say that Qiao Yu, the heavenly official of the Ministry of Officials, couldn't listen anymore and stood up again.

"Your Majesty, the dignity of the temple, the Fengtian Palace, let Wang Yue talk about a merchant family, it is really ridiculous. The old minister thought that the court had too many serious things to do, and Wang Yue's move was tantamount to desecrating the court and should be severely punished! ”

Wang Yue smiled dumbly, "I said Qiao Tianguan, something is wrong with you, aren't you an advocate of opening up your voice?" Why, I can't speak? ”

"Humph! Don't be tongue-in-cheek! What you just said is just an ordinary businessman's family, operating with heart, accumulating family business to get rich, such a family, in Daming, there are many places, there is no need for you to waste spit! ”

"Really? Since there are many places, it is even more important to talk about them. Wang Yue glanced at Yang Shen, "May I ask the champion prince, you have given His Majesty a sutra feast, have you talked about these things about the national economy and people's livelihood?" ”

"This ...... No! ”

Wang Yue smiled, "Since there isn't, then it's even more important to talk about it...... And, the next story is very exciting, you have to listen to it! ”

Yang Shen, who was named by Wang Yue, was beating his heart at the moment, almost popping out.

As a scholar who takes the world as his own responsibility, he really can't look at Qiao Yu in general, he doesn't do practical things, retreats all day long, and also suppresses capable ministers, and uses means to do it.

can not get used to it, Qiao Yu is an old minister of the four dynasties, in charge of the ministry.

Even if Yang Tinghe is helpless, Wang Yue actually dared to point the finger at Qiao Yu and directly fire in the early dynasty, this courage and means are breathtaking!

Yang Shen even had a hint of trepidation, if he could take down Qiao Yu, he was afraid that his father would also be wary of this kid. Thinking of his father, Yang Shen's forehead ached faintly.

He doesn't approve of his father, let alone those under his father, but he is Yang Tinghe's son, and no one can change it...... Sandwiched in the middle, this doesn't taste good!

While Yang Shen was thinking about it, Wang Yue's words had already mentioned the Hongzhi Dynasty.

"Emperor Xiaozong adopted the suggestion of his subordinates and asked the household department to draw up a method, changing the law of opening the middle...... Merchants no longer need to transport grain to the border gates, as long as they pay silver to the household department, they can exchange it for salt. The Qiao family relied on this God-given opportunity, and it was really a good wind to send me to nine days. smashed the hundreds of thousands of families accumulated in the past, and the family property exceeded one million that year! In the Hongzhi Dynasty, throughout the Ming Dynasty, there were few people who were so rich! You know, this is an ancestral system that has lasted for more than 100 years! ”

"Shut up!"

Qiao Yu was furious!

Wang Yue, this kid, not only attacked the Qiao family, but also implicated Emperor Xiaozong, which is simply bold!

"Your Majesty, Wang Yue is talking nonsense, criticizing Emperor Xiaozong, and he is rebellious, please expel him from the main hall immediately." Qiao Yu's voice was fierce.

Yang Shen saw it in his eyes, but couldn't help but sigh slightly.

Although he also respects Emperor Xiaozong, he has to say that in the matter of abolishing the Kaizhong Law, Zhu Youzhu is a real pig!

Yang Shen wanted to come forward and defend Wang Yue, but if so, he was afraid that he would fall out with his father completely.

Just when he hesitated, Zhu Houxi smiled and said: "Qiao Shangshu, Wang Yue is just telling a story, and I will listen to it, don't take it too seriously." ”

Zhu Houxi said this, but his heart was happy, and even he wanted to understand one thing, no wonder the civil officials missed Emperor Xiaozong so much!

There are tangible benefits in this regard!

You must know that the emperor of the Zhu family has always been twisted, and it is rare to have someone as obedient as Zhu Youzhang, can he not be missed?

"Your Majesty, Wang Yue's intentions are sinister, and Emperor Xiaozong agreed to pay silver instead of grain, which is actually a benefit to both the business and the people, and the government and the opposition are full of praise. In the first year alone, the household department increased by more than one million taels, and later, it exceeded two million taels, such a big benefit, clear morality and politics, actually made Wang Yue say so unbearable, he, he is simply hateful! ”

Zhu Houxi smiled, "Wang Yue, what do you have to say?" ”

Wang Yue said: "The minister has nothing to say. It is inevitable that there is no need to send grain to the nine sides, but to convert the grain into silver and hand it over to Taicang, and the revenue of the state treasury will increase. But there are still two more accounts! ”

"Which two accounts?"

"One is the account of the imperial court transporting grain to the nine borders, since the abolition of the Kaizhong Law, the annual military expenditure has not been lower than 1.5 million taels. Another account is that after no need to send grain, the Shangtun in Jiubian quickly decayed, and millions of acres of land were wasted. Hundreds of thousands of tenant farmers fled, causing a serious emptiness in the nine borders, and the population of each important guard town was sharply reduced. The available soldiers are even less than thirty percent, and some remote guards have simply given up ......"

"Wang Yue!"

Qiao Yu's eyes were red, this kid is not talking about the Qiao family, nor is he talking about opening China and France, but from the root, he wants to oppose the politics of filial piety!

They forced Zhu Houxi to recognize Xiaozong as his father, didn't they just hope to restore the situation of the Xiaozong Dynasty?

But if Wang Yue overthrows Xiaozong Zhongxing, what face will he have to restore the rule of Xiaozong?

This kid is digging their ancestral graves!

"Wang Yue, you traitor, all of you are talking nonsense, nonsense, filial piety, good clothes, appointing virtuous ministers, Ming Zhongxing, everyone knows, how can you talk nonsense here! Come on, let's kill this thief together! ”

Qiao Yu rolled up his sleeves and was about to do it.

The crowd was angry, the Golden Palace beat and killed the traitorous ministers, this kind of thing is no stranger to the hundred officials of the Ming Dynasty, but if you want to kill Wang Yue, will it be so easy?

Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing, including the old man Yuan Zonggao, and the three important ministers of the ministry stared at Qiao Yu together, do you dare to move?

Qiao Yu's side, the Ministry of Rites, the Criminal Department, the Ministry of Industry, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, are there still a shortage of manpower?

The two sides were tense, and in the next second, blood would be splashed in the Fengtian Temple.

Suddenly, a voice sounded, "Qiao Tianguan, since the tenth year of Hongzhi, the emptiness of the nine sides has intensified, and the Mongolian tribes have been unified by the little prince again. Where to start, attacking every year, the nine-sided soldiers are in trouble. Only then did the first emperor succeed to the throne, he recruited four foreign families into Beijing, reorganized the army and passed the military, patrolled the border many times, and even fought a decisive battle with the little prince in Yingzhou! ”

Yang Shen raised his head and looked at Wang Yue, full of shame and shock, it turned out to be like this, it turned out to be like this! He couldn't help but be sad and indignant: "In the past, servants always couldn't figure it out, but after Senator Wang's explanation, I finally understood that the root of everything lies in destroying the ancestral system and abolishing the Kaizhong Law!" That's what an infinite calamity! Yang Shen was heartbroken, "Princess, such a simple matter, I actually asked Senator Wang to point out, don't you need to be embarrassed by the important ministers in the court?" ”

After Yang Shen spoke, everyone was stunned, Yuanfu, you don't care about your son?

Could it be that your father and son are going to turn their faces?
