I didn't expect to play a farce with my wife, Lin Feng was indeed a little depressed, and I don't know if he was too unlucky or his political life was everywhere, but all in all, Lin Feng still got some very nasty information from this matter.

In fact, as far as the incident itself is concerned, it is not a big deal, and when Lin Feng and Chengtian Mansion Yin were talking, both sides were very vague, and those who were present, including Wu Yingke and the guards, did not hear anything meaning. Judging from Duan Tiande's vague hints, there are at least a few messages in it.

The first information is that as far as the current situation is concerned, the industry and commerce in the Han army-ruled area are in a state of extreme chaos - of course, it is not said that chaos is bad, in fact, chaos is a major feature of the free economy, although this chaos will have some negative effects, but relative to its positive effect on the social economy, it is not unacceptable, in fact, Lin Feng himself has also been psychologically prepared for this disorderly competition, but this psychological preparation only exists in the field of industry and commerce, And now it has actually developed into an underworld-style gang brawl that is really a little ironic, I really don't know whether it's funny or angry, it seems that we Chinese have a natural understanding of the activities of the underworld, from triads to Chinatown, everyone loves small-scale violent means, and never thinks about the rules or order of harmony, in the time and space of Lin Feng's previous life, and in this era is still like this.

The second information is that Lin Feng found that the ruling group he led had begun to transform, as far as this matter was concerned, it was very obvious that the two major interest groups under the Han Army had a fierce conflict, which was manifested in the form of cadres and children in the Han Army who had begun to use their privileges to seek economic benefits, thus opposing the traditional chamber of commerce organization, to be honest, Lin Feng was really surprised when he just deduced this information - what a lot of effort, From killing Kangxi to staying in Beijing City until now expanding to the territory of two provinces, it has been less than two years in total, and the ass has not yet sat firmly when this Yanei came out, it seems that this thing is really terrible - this is also the reason why Lin Feng pressed his emotions, and would rather lose face in front of his wife than make a big deal about it, how deep is the background of these Yanei Lin Feng doesn't know and doesn't want to know for the time being, since the last time he investigated the corruption of the Han Army, Lin Feng finally has some experience, how to say that he has been a leader for so long, There is still this awareness, and judging from the current political situation, the enemy is strong and we are weak, and the enemy is attacked on all sides, and any cleanup of the group may induce fatal consequences, so if you are not absolutely sure that you can uproot it, it is the wisest thing to play stupid.

The third problem is more complicated, Lin Feng at this time suddenly found that the so-called "revitalization of industry and commerce" is such a complicated thing, compared to the invention of steel and glass, etc., it seems that the supporting soft facilities are more important, before this he did ignore such a problem, that is, China is a country that has been "agriculture-oriented" positioning national policy for thousands of years, and it is undoubtedly a considerable price to change this under the effect of huge inertia, and now this problem has been placed in front of Lin Feng. That is, the current laws pursued by the Han military clique are very self-contradictory, because Li Guangdi and others, who are in charge of government work, are still pursuing the same set of old things, while in the field of industry and commerce, Lin Feng used political skills to forcibly issue a set of laws contrary to the order, and the consequences of the conflict between the two have had a great negative impact on the social order.

Lin Feng was bored in the study for a few days, and finally had to admit sadly that he was indeed not a reformer, he did not have any proper solutions to these three problems, and he did not have much experience within the scope of knowledge - before other countries solved this problem either through violent revolution or through foreign wars, compared to the British Revolution and the French Revolution, it seems that the Meiji Restoration is still a little closer, but unfortunately it is now the seventeenth century, It was the golden age of China's feudalism that flourished, and capitalism did not even have an enlightenment idea, so Lin Feng did not have the courage to go against the sky for the time being.

Thinking about it and thinking about it repeatedly, this matter still has to boil frogs in warm water, and it must be carried out slowly unconsciously, whether it is a new thing or not, then everyone will suffer a little hardship and slowly explore, in case of inaction, it is not impossible to use the army to engage in "book burning and pit Confucianism" again, anyway, we have always worshiped violence in tradition, since the Manchu emperor can slaughter tens of millions of people to make China backwards, then Lin Feng can also slaughter millions of people to make China progress, anyway, it is nothing more than killing, isn't it? Who wouldn't chop off the head of a scholar?

To be honest, although Lin Feng has some scruples about the reaction of Confucian Shilin, he is definitely not very afraid, as far as historical experience is concerned, after the toss of the old Zhu family, there are few contemporary traditional knowledge people who are now very their knees, and they were able to put the clothes and hairstyles of the ancestors' graves together with their wives' ** to the invaders, so I believe that there should be no sound if hundreds of thousands of heads are cut off, but it seems that it has not yet reached this level of intensity, so it is better to be as gentle as possible.

After making up his mind, Lin Feng quickly sent someone to summon Li Guangdi, when Li Guangdi came to Zhongnanhai, Lin Feng was a little taken aback, this time there was a very familiar young man who came with Li Guangdi, Lin Feng thought for a long time, and finally remembered his name.

"Oh, this is ...... Hu, right? Lin Feng glanced at Li Guangdi, who was full of restraint, and understood in his heart, it seems that it is really a hero who sees the same thing, this Li Guangdi really knows how to figure out his boss, he has just made a strategy to deal with it as soon as he has a private interview, he turned his face away, pointed to the chair and said to Hu Mingren with a smile, "Come on, come on, sit down and sit down - how about it?" How's business going now?! ”

Hu Mingren didn't dare to be presumptuous, and it could be seen that the business of this incident had trained this young man to be quite sophisticated, and he would no longer be the young maniac he was at the beginning. He respectfully knelt down and saluted Lin Feng, "I've seen the prince - if you go back to the prince, you don't dare to live up to the trust of the prince, now our business has taken root in Datong and Zunhua!" ”

"That's good, that's good!" Lin Feng smiled, turned his head to Li Guang and said, "I said Jin Qing, don't give me sloppy eyes-you brought Xiaohu this time, do you still have something to say!" ”

"Lord Gong Mingjian, this humble post is coming, I want to take this opportunity to ask my lord to commend the 'Hu Ji Tiexing' Hu shopkeeper," Li Guangdi's expression was serious, and his eyes were solemn as if he was in front of a guest, "Mr. Hu is a businessman and his heart is to the community, giving up wealth and goods, great righteousness, a certain person received the official document of the General Staff of Pei Gong, it is known that since the ordnance reform of our army in recent months, Mr. Hu's 'Hu Ji Tiexing' has lost more than 10,000 muskets and more than 100 light and heavy artillery pieces for our Han Dynasty, and they are all discounted at half price, and the concession fee is tens of thousands of taels of silver, so please take credit for Mr. Hu in front of the lord! ”

"Oh, tsk...... Not bad, not bad! Jin Qing sit-" Lin Feng squinted, stood up, took Hu Mingren's hand with a smile, pressed him on the chair, and said with a smile, "Xiao Hu is good, young and promising, young and promising, I really have to fight with this king!" ”

Hu Mingren was taken aback, sweating profusely, and hurriedly thanked, "Don't dare, don't dare, can the grass people be comparable to the prince?!" ……”

"Akihito is so polite!" Lin Feng patted him on the shoulder, but said, "But it stands to reason that this king can be regarded as the major shareholder of Hu Ji Tiexing, right?" Why did the shopkeeper donate so many guns in one go, and I didn't hear any wind here? ”

Hu Mingren was dumbfounded, and said in his heart, what does this mean? In fact, the reason why he sold so many arms to the Han military government at a discount was half to curry favor with the Han military group, and half was also vaguely remitted dividends, in his opinion, the Han King Lin Feng was rich and rivaled the country, the Han military government was his private government, and the army was his private army, and he felt that it was really ridiculous to give the silver directly, but now it seems that the prince seems to be very dissatisfied, he was shocked in his heart, and said in a trembling voice, "The prince...... The prince forgives the sins, and the grass people ...... The grass people really had their brains bitten by dogs...... The grass people will go and get the money at once......"

"Hey, misunderstanding, misunderstanding, don't be nervous, this king is not looking for you to ask for money, this king means that this business has to be done according to the rules, right? Let's start a company in partnership...... Oh no...... Although you are a major shareholder, you can't overstep your responsibilities and have to respect the opinions of other investors, right? Lin Feng said with a smile, "Actually, we also understand your thoughts, and for this king, this musket cannon is indeed more practical than silver, but this rule can't be omitted - for example, our 'Hu Ji Tiexing' has to be in the account book every time we do a business, so even if we are good friends and secret transactions, we can't write them down, and we can't do anything 'tacit', this is the rule, without the rules, then you can't do this business-" He turned his head to Li Guangdi and smiled, "Jin Qing, Do you think I'm right?! ”

"What the lord said is very true!!"

"yes, I knew that Jin Qing must be a person who understands—but I went out for a walk yesterday, why do you think something is wrong with you? ——People have to pay attention to the rules when doing business, so do we have to talk about the rules of the Han Yamen to manage the people's livelihood and educate the people? ! ”

"This ...... Please make it clear! Li Guangdi looked calm, but beads of sweat on his sideburns were faintly seeping out.

"Do you want me to make it clear? Hehe......" Lin Feng smiled slightly, then restrained his smile, and said, "Li Xiangye is too polite, right?!! ”

Li Guang's face was pale, he forced himself to suppress the fear in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "What the lord said, I don't know it, the true picture came today, one is to ask for merit for Mr. Hu, and the other is to ask for Mr. Hu's guilt!" ”

How dare he call himself "true appearance" in front of Lao Tzu? Lin Feng was furious in his heart, but when he suddenly heard the "one merit and one crime" behind him, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned, thinking in his head, but said kindly, "Oh, Jin Qing is my humerus and femur, why do you have to be so nervous?" - Hehe, come, come, come, sit down, sit down first, you tell me about it! ”

"Lord Mingjian, Hu Mingren lost ordnance for my great Han Le, this is a great merit, and the humble job is suitable for him to ask for merit, and the position is also; And it repeatedly relied on power, bullied peers, cleverly grabbed, occupied more than 20 copper mountains of Datong and Zunhua iron mines, more than 400 acres of official land, and forcibly purchased more than 30 factories and smelting houses before and after, and even colluded with officials to get up and down, causing the bitter lord to have no way to seek help, injustice, and more than 20 deaths. Therefore, today to sue the Lord for his evil deeds, there is no other person, and there is also a position!! ”

Lin Feng was startled, looked at Li Guangdi with a calm face in a daze, suddenly turned around sharply, and glared at Hu Mingren fiercely, "What did Master Li just say...... What do you have to say?! ”

Hu Mingren was a little stupid, not long ago, Li Xiangye smiled at him, and praised him again and again for his loyalty to the community, how could he be so vicious in a blink of an eye, the implication is that he is going to put him to death, people's hearts, people's hearts, they really know people and don't know their hearts.

He looked at Li Guangdi as if nothing had happened, and waited until Lin Feng shouted loudly, then he came to his senses, and for a while he only felt that his limbs were weak and his whole body was weak, and when he saw Lin Feng's eyes like blades, he shivered, and fell to his knees in fear, and his words were trembling, "...... Wronged...... As soon as the prince ...... raised his head, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Li Guangdi's indifferent eyes, and he felt a chill in his heart, and said involuntarily, "...... Grass Folk ...... Grass Folk ...... The sin deserves death, the prince ...... The prince forgives the sins......" kowtowed again and again, until the flesh and blood on his forehead were blurred.

Lin Feng took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked in a deep voice, "Hu Mingren, let me ask you, why did you do this?!" As soon as the words came out, he felt that he was very wrong, with such an advantage in government and business, what reason did he have not to do it?

"Back to ...... Back to the prince, it turned out to be ...... It turns out that we don't dare to ...... "Hu Mingren is just a young man in his early twenties, and he is almost crying at this moment," ...... At that time, we brought silver to buy land and open a workshop, some people were willing to let it, and some people were unwilling to let it...... Later, I thought about it for a while and remembered what the prince said...... The generals and officials of the Han Dynasty will make it convenient for us...... So...... So......" He looked at Lin Feng timidly, and didn't dare to say any more.

Lin Feng was stunned for a while, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and couldn't speak anymore.

"Lord Mingjian, Weichen has a contrary word of advice, but I don't know whether to say it or not!" Li Guang's ground was as cold as ice, and he suddenly bowed solemnly and deeply.

Lin Feng sighed, sat down on the chair in a dejected manner, and said weakly, "Mr. Jin Qing doesn't have to worry, you and I know each other, why can't you say it directly?!" ”

"The lord is open-minded and admires the cause of the bare earth - I have a vast Chinese millennium, from ancient times to the present, all of them have been scholars and kings to rule the world, agriculture and mulberry are the foundation of the country, and people's hearts and minds have become the fence of the society. Shilin also !! Li Guangdi's emotions suddenly became very excited, at this moment his face turned red, his upper body trembled slightly, and he said loudly, "The so-called 'Shinong Industry and Commerce', the lord can know, why is the scholar the highest grade, and the merchant is the lowest?" ——This generation of treacherous villains, mercenary, whenever they have the opportunity, they will make waves, and charm the king to harm my people, in the long run, the country will be eroded, the lord is ......"

The more Li Guangdi spoke, the more excited he became, and suddenly slammed his knees, and his forehead knocked on the bluestone ground, "The so-called good on the top, and the next will meet the truth, the lord at the beginning of the great prosperity of businessmen, the joy of hearing the profits, and the loss and worry, don't you know that the world's wealth is not poor but uneven, this country is prosperous, the society is prosperous, is it an overnight thing, from ancient times to the present, the Han has the disaster of the male mulberry sheep, the Song Dynasty has the difficulty of Wang Anshi, we will not quit it - prosperous businessmen, open roads, pass through wealth, this short-sighted way of change also, the country is prosperous, how can he be with the water conservancy, persuade agriculture and mulberry, Light conscription on a par? Everyone in the world says that this is a cliché and I don't know how to mention it, and I know that this 'cliché' policy has been practiced for thousands of years, and it has been valued by the wise kings and virtuous ministers of previous dynasties, so how can it be easily discarded? ! He raised his head suddenly, knelt up straight, and said impassionedly, "Although a certain is not good, I have heard that the sages have clouds: Wen Death Admonition, Martial Death Battle, the Lord and a certain sudden encounter in the humble, Jian Ba to be prominent, and awarded the position of Wang Zuo, this monarch and minister know that it is rare in ancient and modern times, and today he is exposed in the light, and he knows the way to die. ”

Lin Feng looked at Li Guangdi quietly, suddenly took a deep breath, gently supported Li Guangdi's arm, and said with a wry smile, "Jin Qing, Jin Qing...... I ......," he shook his head and sighed, "I don't even know what to say to you!" ”

Li Guangdi's body sank, he still knelt on the ground and refused to get up, clasping his fists with both hands, "Lord, this time you have seen with your own eyes, this Beijing Zhili, inside and outside the city, everywhere you see disputes, everyone talks about money, you must see businessmen, talk about profits, this thousand-year-old work of education is about to be ruined, don't you understand?" Li Guangdi's eyes widened and he shouted, "For today's plan, my Han must suppress businessmen, emphasize agriculture and mulberry, educate the people, levy heavy taxes on roads, cultivate fertile land in the wilderness, teach the people to be at peace with the acres, and the men and women weave!! He kowtowed violently, and pleaded one after another, "Lord, lord, please be fair to the lord and ask the lord to respond!" ……”

Lin Feng let go of his arm, sat down suddenly, and suddenly felt his whole body lose his strength, a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't say a word, at this moment he already understood in his heart, no matter how he explained it, it would not have any effect, no matter what industrial revolution or financial policy, it would be useless, the vast river of history, the two hearts were far apart, as if a horse would never know the joy of flying, and a bird would never understand the joy of running.

For a moment, there was silence in the study, and only the heavy gasps of each other could be heard.

After a long dull time, Lin Feng suddenly coughed lightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Jin Qing...... Mr. Jin Qing, please get up, what you said today...... I understand all this, thank you sir for your teaching!! He stood up and made a deep bow at Li Guangdi.

"The lord can't ......" Li Guangdi stood up in shock and helped Lin Fengdao, "How can Weichen be so virtuous, deserve such a great gift from the lord?!" ”

"What Mr. said today makes a lot of sense, and the widow ...... from it," Lin Feng said with a wry smile.

"Thank you...... Worship the Lord for the people of the world! ......" Li Guangdi was very surprised, and hurriedly knelt down again and thanked him loudly.

"However, this matter has become a serious problem, and the current situation is difficult, and we must not act drastically," Lin Feng eased in his chest, and already had an idea, he smiled slightly at Li Guangdi, "In fact, how can this king not know the importance of this agriculture and mulberry and the harm of businessmen, but the war is urgent, the military needs are scarce, and the lonely and cruel people can't bear to be cruel, so he has to find another way, at the moment, it seems that it is indeed a bit rushed!" ”

Li Guangdi was moved when he heard this, "Weichen also knows the benevolence and righteousness of the lord, so he dares to risk death in the name of the people," he sighed and said heartily, "Be humble and admit your mistakes calmly, with the instrument of the lord, can An Neng not be the lord of the world?!" ”

"Hehe, don't talk about this," Lin Feng smiled reluctantly, "So according to the meaning of this king, this matter is still going slowly, at the moment these people are making too much trouble, and we still have to take care of it, but I'm afraid that this matter involves too much, and there are many people in our Han army whose eyes are red, so we have to be careful!" ”

"What does the lord mean? ……”

"What this king means is that you and Zezhen have to discuss this matter - first of all, don't care about others, first draft a document, the officials of our Han government, the generals and colonels of the garrisons in various places, and their families are not allowed to engage in business or concurrently do business, and those who violate the law will be severely punished, what do you think?!"

"Lord Mingjian, this matter is related to the rule of my Han officials, and it must be strictly rectified!"

"Also, you and Zezhen will each select a group of officials who are familiar with the criminal name, and together with the people of the 'Dahan Commercial Tax Law Committee', they will draft a copy of the "Dahan Commercial Law" for the purpose of adjudicating disputes in the future!"

Li Guangdi's color changed when he heard this, and he lost his voice, "Drafting laws with these merchants?" …… Lord, this, this...... It's really ......"

"Alas......" Lin Feng waved his hand with a wry smile, and said helplessly, "Jin Qing, this king doesn't want to entangle with these villains, but why did he promise them in public at the beginning, the so-called 'Jun has no jokes', is it possible to break his promise and gain weight at this moment?" He stared at Li Guangdi, "This matter is about the prestige of this king, and about the reputation of my Han official mansion, is there any good way for Jin Qing?!" ”

Li Guangdi was stunned for a moment, hesitating for a while, but he couldn't think of any reason to refute.

"But these villains are too arrogant now, and the lesson still needs to be learned!" Lin Feng thought for a while, "In the future, if anyone dares to pick quarrels and provoke troubles and disturb the Gangchang, then they will be beaten and killed-you can do this matter, and this king will support you in the back!" ”

Li Guangdi was overjoyed and bowed to the end, "Thank you, lord!" Suddenly, he frowned, and pointed to Hu Mingren, who was still kneeling there, and said, "That...... This person is so disposed of?! ”

"Hu Mingren!" Lin Feng turned around and shouted, the latter hurriedly fell to the ground, and kowtowed again and again, "You occupy real estate and force people to die, it is really an unforgivable crime - but if you are loyal to the king, your heart is commendable, and the capital crime will be spared, but it will not be possible if you are not investigated, otherwise the law of the Han Dynasty will be gone...... Lin Feng thought for a while, "In this way, this king will sentence you to forty boards, a fine of 20,000 silver, and those bitter masters who are bullied by you, you also have to compensate the orphans and widows for their lives - so, do you accept it?!" ”

Hu Mingren was pardoned, and he praised again and again, "Thank you for your forgiveness, thank you for your forgiveness......"

Lin Feng shook his head, no longer paying attention to this stupid man, turned his face to Li Guangdi, who looked disgruntled, and whispered, "Jin Qing, firearms and ordnance are the lifeblood of our army, you are in a high position, you have to take the overall situation into account in everything!" ”

Li Guangdi glared at Hu Mingren coldly for a long time, before he turned around and whispered, "Weichen will understand!" ”
