Even if you can solve the problems of the moment, you will not be able to solve the problems of the first life. At the end of the day, all the problems will go back to square one, and there is no point at all.

What's more, he can solve the Kong family and King Lu, but he can't solve the gentry in the world. All the people who read are doing this, and no one thinks it's wrong.

Even the people who are oppressed at the bottom think so, they want to turn over through reading, and they will not think about overthrowing those who oppress them, they will only think about becoming the ones who oppress others.

Under such circumstances, if you force a full equalization of land, no one will support you. The magnates at the top will not support themselves, the gentry at the middle level will not support themselves, and even the common people at the bottom will not support themselves.

In the case that everyone does not support him, Juntian can't do this thing at all, and in the end he can only burn himself to death.

For the people at the bottom of the Ming Dynasty, dedication is even a good thing. If there is a person in a village or a family who does not pay taxes, the people of the village or family will give their money to the person who does not pay taxes, and then they will rent back the land.

In this way, these lands were not taxed, and the gentry only collected land rent, which was much lower than the tax paid to the imperial court, which was a matter for both parties.

It's just that once there is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, the court has no money to relieve the disaster, and the gentry will not help the people, and the people will become displaced people and will die a miserable death.

Why did many of the gentry have a very good reputation in the local area?

Because these people build bridges and roads, take care of widows and orphans, and help the disabled and the elderly, they have a very good reputation. But in fact, they are indeed digging up the roots of the country.

When all strata of the country are doing this, no one can break this chain of interests. Even if Zhu Youxiao is the emperor, he can't.

Unless you dare to change the sun and the moon to a new day, you can't do anything at all.

Even in the Qing Dynasty, it was necessary to stabilize these people and stabilize such interests. The reform of Emperor Yongzheng is nothing more than the payment of taxes by the whole people.

The land is divided into acres, and the officials and gentry pay grain in one piece, and such a policy is used to increase the income of the imperial court, but the people at the bottom will live more hard. Because in addition to paying the rent, they also had to pay taxes from the imperial court. In such a situation, the people have no way to live.

The reason why the Qing Dynasty was able to survive was because of the promotion of high-yield crops. Potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, and land development in the northeast have made it possible for more people to be held on less land.

You can move the people to the northeast, and Zhu Youxiao can do the same. But this will take a long time to promote, and it will not work for the time being.

Potatoes are already being planted, but it will take more time to spread them all over the north. As for the Northeast, it can't be taken for the time being, and I don't have the energy to start a war in the Northeast and the grasslands.

The important thing is not to think about these. What Zhu Youxiao is doing now is just eating a few big households and completing his own primitive accumulation, which is the emperor's primitive accumulation, not the country's primitive accumulation.

To truly complete the country's primitive accumulation, more investment is needed, and Shandong's affairs can only be achieved to this extent. The problem of Daming is not Shandong's, but the country's problem.

Zhu Youxiao moved his body for a while, took a sip of tea, sorted out the thoughts in his head, turned his head to look at Chen Hong and said, "Is there any urgent report?" ”

In the past few days, everyone has been taking action, and although Zhu Youxiao looks very leisurely, he has always carried it in his heart.

With such a big move this time, Zhu Youxiao was actually worried that something would go wrong. If you make too much of a mess, you'll be in trouble.

After all, the situation in Shandong is more complicated, there are everyone, and there are more people fishing in troubled waters. If you're not careful, you can expect the unexpected.

"Back to the emperor, there is no urgent report." Chen Hong hurriedly said: "Xu Xianchun and Lord Xu's side, the Jinyi guards attacked and arrested people, and all the Jinyi guards everywhere moved. Xu Ge Lao was in Jining, and Huang Ge Lao was leading people to investigate and deal with officials from all sides, and everything was going smoothly. ”

Zhu Youxiao glanced at Chen Hong, nodded lightly and said, "Then continue to wait." ”

At the same time, inside the cell of Jin Yiwei.

Xu Guangqi is interrogating Kong Yinzhi.

It is said to be an interrogation, but in fact it is a conversation.

After so many days, Kong Yinzhi's mental state has also recovered.

Looking at Xu Guangqi in front of him, Kong Yinzhi smiled bitterly.

"Elder Xu Ge, isn't there a turnaround in things?" Kong Yinzhi looked at Xu Guangqi, and said with a bit of pleading in his tone: "Why is this so? ”

Xu Guangqi glanced at Kong Yinzhi and said in a soft tone: "This time, you have gone too far. The most important thing is not the reselling of grain, but the fact that you have gone too far in Shandong. ”

"The officials of all sizes in Shandong are all related to you. There is no point in talking about this now, all you can do is to obediently confess your sins and wait for His Majesty's punishment. If you play some useless tricks, I can't help you. ”

Kong Yinzhi was silent for a while, and said for a while: "Then what does Elder Xu Ge want us to confess?" ”

Glancing at Kong Yinzhi, Xu Guangqi of course heard the insincerity in the other party's tone, and also heard the resentment in his tone.

But Xu Guangqi couldn't care about these now, and he didn't want to talk nonsense with Kong Yinzhi, so he directly took a confession and put it in front of Kong Yinzhi.

Xu Guangqi said directly: "Take a look." If you don't think there's a problem, sign it. ”

At this point, it is useless to say anything, and obedient confession is the best way out. Although Kong Yinzhi has resentment in his heart, he also understands that things have really come to this point.

I'm being pressed here now, and I can't get out at all. The people who followed him were all arrested, and it can be said that the Kong family has no backbone.

Even if the news reached Qufu, it would be useless.

What's more, His Majesty has made up his mind this time, and no one can change His Majesty's mind.

Kong Yinzhi forcibly suppressed the unwillingness in his heart, reached out and picked up the confession prepared by Xu Guangqi, and quickly read it.

In this confession, Xu Guangqi wrote the charges very clearly: colluding with local officials, reselling disaster relief food, not being strict with the emperor, and selling grain to the Wenxiang Sect.

Everything is written very clearly. Of course, this can only be written on the surface. For example, the Kong family's bribery of officials of all sizes in Shandong was not mentioned above.

Kong Yinzhi raised his head and looked at Xu Guangqi and said, "If I sign this confession, what will be the result of our Kong family?" ”

"I won't kill you, and I won't be relegated." Xu Guangqi said.

Xu Guangqi still knows His Majesty's thoughts, and he just wants to abolish the Kong family. On the cusp of this storm, it can only be done to this extent.

If the Kong family is really beheaded, it is impossible. It's too big to bear.

However, when the Kong family is involved in breaking the law, they should still deal with some people. For example, if human life is involved, for example, if it is involved in a lawsuit, it will definitely be cleaned up.

However, those are all middle and lower levels, and they will not involve the top level like Kong Yinzhi and them, after all, many things are not done by them.

As for how to clean them up in the future, that is a matter for the future, and it will have to wait until the rumors have passed.

However, the Kong family may not have much money left this time, and for a big family like the Kong family, I am afraid that there will be many people who will not survive, and it is not certain what they will do.

However, in Xu Guangqi's opinion, these people may not be able to do anything. His Majesty could not let them go unchecked, and give them the time or opportunity to do anything.

Around the Kong family, I'm afraid there are people from Jinyi Guards everywhere. The Kong family will be stared at to death, and the slightest mistake will be troubled.

Kong Yinzhi listened to Xu Guangqi's words, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.

Kong Yinzhi also understood in his heart that Xu Guangqi dared to say this, and only he would say it to himself. If it were someone else, I would never say such a thing to myself, and I would never dare to say such a thing to myself.

In fact, Xu Guangqi just didn't want things to get troublesome. If Kong Yinzhi does not admit his guilt, it will also become very troublesome.

Picking up a pen to sign a name and pressing the handprint, Kong Yinzhi pushed the confession in front of Xu Guangqi and said to him: "Old Xu Ge, the things are already here." ”

"Let's go back and wait." Xu Guangqi nodded and said, "I will give the confession to Your Majesty." ”

After saying this, Xu Guangqi took the confession and went directly to Zhu Youxiao.

However, Xu Guangqi was disappointed, he didn't see Zhu Youxiao at all, and the confession was also handed in by Chen Hong.

Zhu You looked at the confession in his hand, and the expression on his face was neither happy nor angry.

After a while, Zhu Youxiao put down the confession in his hand, sighed softly and said, "Okay, since you have confessed, then so be it." Let the Jinyi guard send them back to Qufu. ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly agreed, and said in a respectful tone.

Although Zhu Youxiao wanted to kill them, he couldn't do it here. If they die in Jining, then this pot will definitely be carried on their backs.

However, Zhu Youxiao will not let them go back to Qufu, the scattered Kong family is a good Kong family for himself.

What's more, in Zhu Youxiao's heart, the Kong family should also be separated.

With such a big family, how can it not be separated?

If Kong Yinzhi and them live, then the Kong family will not be able to divide it. This time, I want to dismantle the Kong family.

So Zhu You said to Chen Hong: "Do you think Kong Yinzhi will feel guilty? ”

After listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Chen Hong hurriedly said: "The descendants of Sage Kong have done things that are sorry for Your Majesty and the imperial court, and they must be ashamed and indignant. If it is a slave maid, the slave and maid will probably commit suicide in shame and have no shame to live in this world again. ”
