Chapter Seventy-Five: The Gentry Pay Food

There is nothing more poisonous about killing people than attacking the heart.

For those who are not afraid of death, killing him is fulfilling his wish and leaving him a good name.

Wang Xiao didn't do this kind of thing, he directly pressed the matter of the gentry as errand and food on Wu Zhong's head. Now he has become the biggest traitor in the eyes of all the people who read in the world.

Even if Wu Zhong was angry to death, the people in the world would not shed tears for him, but would applaud.

There was no internet, no television, not even the most primitive radio.

If you want to announce something to the world, you rely on the Lu Bu issued by the imperial court.

In other words, the right to speak is in the hands of the imperial court.

What is written on the rubu will be thought by the whole world.

wrote that Wu Zhong was the initiator, so it would be useless for Wu Zhong to explain even if he mobilized the whole clan to explain it.

This trick is too poisonous.

Originally, Wu Zhong was only in the lead, and then the ministers would rush to oppose Wang Xiao's policy.

But as soon as this trick came out, the ministers in the hall were dumbfounded.

Even if you risk your life to fight, not only will no one appreciate it when it is spread outside, but you will be scolded for countless years, and your name will be passed on to traitorous ministers. Who would dare to jump out?

"The will must be clearly written, and whoever dares to resist is regarded as a conspiracy. One kills one, one kills another! I don't believe it, I can't kill all the scholars who want money and don't want to die in this world. ”

Yang Shiqi and the others lowered their heads and looked at the surface of their feet, and no one dared to object.

An iron law that Wang Xiao has always adhered to is 'Son of Heaven, only those who are strong and strong are for it!' ’

The boasting of the turbans is meaningless, and only military power is the root of all power.

The ministers did not dare to object, that was because Wang Xiao was holding the military power of the whole world.

A martial emperor is always the natural enemy of the civil servants. Only those emperors who are better than the hands of the women of the deep palace are their favorites.

Because it's so foolish.

Wang Xiao nodded to Yu Qian, and Yu Qian, who had finished writing the holy decree, got up and clapped his hands, "Come in!" ”

A group of cabinet clerks walked into the main hall with the holy decree in their hands and came to the twenty-four military dignitaries.

"You are all princes and princes who are resting with the country. In this world, you have to help the guards. ”

Wang Xiao stood up and pointed to the holy decrees, "This is the holy decree I gave you. In the future, if there are civil servants who take power and try to abolish the gentry as errand workers, they should be punished! In the future, some of the descendants of the unscrupulous were deceived and tried to abolish the gentry as one payer. When you raise troops on the side of the Qing monarch, there is a new monarch! You are not rebellious, you are patriotic! ”

Wang Xiao's words shook everyone in the hall again.

In order to be able to completely break the disaster of land annexation and civil affairs and the destruction of the country, Wang Xiao even did not hesitate to give them the right to change the emperor!

Everyone was frightened, and even thought that Wang Xiao was crazy.

Doesn't he know that the generals have great power in their hands and will be unstable in the world?

Of course Wang Xiao knew, but he was forced by the ministers to do nothing.

Now Da Ming's literacy rate is very low, and it is impossible for him to kill all the scholars.

Before opening up the wisdom of the people and universal education for all. Wang Xiao would rather risk the overthrow of the dynasty than to restrain the turbans.

As for the military general's quest for power, he didn't just give it to one or two people. Instead, it was given to twenty-four people at a time, and their families were not allowed to intermarry and marry, and violators were directly punished as treason.

It's easy for one or two people to do big things, but it's not good for more than 20 people to want to do big things.

None of their own internal disputes are settled.

As for the aftermath of this matter, Wang Xiao can't take care of it anymore. It wasn't his turn to care, and at that time, Wang Xiao didn't know which world he was in for a long time.

"The ministers must do their best to repay the emperor's kindness!"

The generals and nobles received the decree and saluted Wang Xiao.

This is the true meaning of the Danshu Iron Coupon!

Wang Xiao's knife was too ruthless and fast, and he directly cut down and broke the backbone of the gentry.

When the news came out, the world was shocked.

If you say that people who read books will endure it so easily, it is that you despise them.

Wang Xiao's knife went down, and their previous superior status was gone. Not only do you have to pay money, but you also have to serve as a conscript.

What is conscription, in the minds of scholars, it is a coolie work to be done by inferior people.

How can they, the famous old men, do those dirty things, it's simply insulting!

Although Wang Xiao said that he could spend money to replace the conscripts, in the final analysis, he still had to take money out of their pockets.

Cutting off people's financial means is like killing your parents.

In front of money, not even the emperor!

At the instigation of well-intentioned people, the tide of boycotts surged in various places.

This year, it was originally going to be a township test, and a group of big turbans from Henan Prefecture ran to the front of the government and shouted slogans to boycott the gentry and pay for food, and shouted in front of hundreds of people that they wanted to boycott the examination.

The people in the yamen of Henan Mansion did not dare to care, or at least they acquiesced.

When the news reached Jingshi, Wang Xiao immediately ordered Jinyiwei to take action.

Nie Xing, who had been promoted to Jinyi Wei Qianhu, quickly left Beijing with a large number of Jinyi Wei people and went straight to Henan Mansion.

After arriving, he first took out the holy decree and took down all the people in Henan Mansion.

Then he brought the scholars who had taken the examination to the square and read the decree in front of many people.

Wang Xiao, like Zhu Yuanzhang, is too lazy to use any official dialect, and speaks in the vernacular.

The general meaning is that since you don't want to take the township test, then don't take it in the future.

All the 117 candidates were deprived of their fame and had no chance to re-enter the examination room in this life or this life.

The two who took the lead in making trouble were directly beheaded for public display.

The people around them were all shouting loudly, and they had long been dissatisfied with these wastes who had been five or six people all day but did not do good deeds.

Cut off the head and deprive him of fame. As soon as the chicks were killed, the monkeys were terrified.

The boycott that had been surging quickly dissipated.

No matter how dissatisfied you are in your heart, even if you resent Wang Xiao, you can't wait for the Ming Dynasty to be destroyed by a foreign invasion tomorrow.

But in the face of the bloody reality, these readers who are invincible in the world and are scared to pee when they move really do not dare to blow up their hair anymore.

Wang Xiao also didn't believe it, what the Manchu Qing could do, there was no reason why he couldn't do it.

The Manchus dared to kill people, and those scholars became quails and obediently paid taxes.

Wang Xiao also dared to do this, he didn't believe that those weak scholars who were powerless could have much backbone.

Although most of the scholars are the same virtue as the Holy Father, there are still scholars who are really not afraid of death and have backbone.

It's just that it's basically impossible for these people to show their enthusiasm for such things as paying taxes and food.

They are all the people of the Ming Dynasty, why don't you pay taxes when the emperor asks you to pay them?

In the curse that many scholars angrily scolded Wang Xiao for dying immediately tomorrow, the gentry were all on errand and paid food, and the abolition of the policy of preferential treatment of scholars was unswervingly promoted.

It won't take long, just ten years, and this will become a law and will continue to be enforced.

Unless there is a brain-dead emperor who has been educated by Confucianism, he forcibly abolishes it at all costs.

In order to avoid any possible backlash from Confucianism, Wang Xiao quickly made the next move.

After appointing Zhu Qizhen as the crown prince, Wang Xiao issued an order to recruit the descendants of the Legalists, the soldiers, the Zongheng family, and even the Mo family and the peasant family to come to Beijing to be the prince and the prince.

When Liu Che deposed the hundred schools and respected Confucianism alone, he never thought of making the children of the royal family become Confucian disciples.

Although the hundreds of schools of thought are weak, they can still be inherited.

Li Shizhen, who wrote the compendium of materia medica, is a doctor.

For example, the Legalists and the peasant families are integrated into Confucianism and are called Confucian skin bones.

The soldiers have been there for generations, and although there are not many of them, there are still them.

The novelists of the Ming Dynasty are even more prosperous, and Journey to the West, Water Margin, a certain bottle and a certain plum, etc. are all novels.

The most severely suppressed by Confucianism was the Mohists, because in the eyes of Confucianism, the Mohists who represented science were all strange skills, and they were born in opposition to Confucianism who played with words.

But even so, there are still Shen Kuo who wrote Mengxi's pen talk, Xu Guangqi who wrote the original geometry and so on.

There was no way before, and since the Song Dynasty, Confucianism has been desperately imprisoning ideas and destroying all different voices. Confucianism, which is only allowed to teach the way of being an official and making money, can survive.

But now, as soon as Wang Xiao's recruitment order came out, the shady curtain called Confucianism that had shrouded the heads of hundreds of schools of thought for more than a thousand years was finally torn apart.

The reaction of Confucianism was extremely violent, and there was even a large-scale wave of resignation in the court.

And Wang Xiao's response is to be tough against tough.

He will allow anyone to resign, and the vacant position will be filled immediately.

The resignation couldn't scare Wang Xiao, so some people wanted to use drastic means.

In a month, Jin Yiwei found out two cases of bribing the imperial chef in the palace and trying to poison him.

Wang Xiao will never be soft on this kind of thing, no matter who is involved, they will all be dealt with as rebellion.

Wang Xiao dared to pursue these drastic policies and to confront Confucianism. His confidence lies in the fact that he has the military power and financial power of the whole world in his hands.

That is, it can be done at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty, the army of the Ming Dynasty has already been dilapidated, even if it is useless to master the army. Because the gentry of the Ming Dynasty have become a climate, they can form a township group to confront the imperial court.

And now, the Ming army has strong combat effectiveness, and the gentry everywhere are far from forming a climate.

This is the best time to start.

"Your Majesty is not worried about their retaliation if you do this?"

In the imperial study, the worried Sun Ruowei tried to persuade Wang Xiao not to be so intense.

After all, Confucianism has been inherited for so many years, and it has long been deeply rooted. Their power is very strong.

"I don't think it's anything powerful."

Wang Xiao put down the music in his hand: "You overestimate them too much. Trust me, I can figure everything out. ”

Sun Ruowei nodded and didn't say anything more.

Wang Xiao got up and hugged her, "Let's go, it's time for us to rest." ”

Sun Ruowei dodged and ran away directly from Wang Xiao's arms, "I'm not feeling well today and can't serve Your Majesty." I still have to take care of my sister, Your Majesty should go to Concubine Jin. ”

At Sun Ruowei's insistence, Hu Shanxiang finally had it.

If it was a boy, the name that Wang Xiao prepared was Zhu Qiyu.

The night is long, and I have no intention of working.

Wang Xiao threw down the piece that could never be reviewed, got up and left the imperial study to go to Concubine Jin.

He came suddenly, and the disheveled Concubine Jin looked a little flustered.

After all the palace people who served left the palace, Wang Xiao, who was still smiling before, suddenly pushed away Concubine Jin and strode to the wardrobe made by Huang Huali.

Wang Xiao's perception is very strong, and he can hear the sound of rapid breathing in the closet.

If Concubine Jin dared to steal people, even if it was a eunuch, he would not spare her.
