Chapter 37: Strength Rises from the Earth (7)

When the Ming and Qing dynasties were still fighting to the death in the southwest and southeast, Chen Kai chose to develop in Guangdong, and even released goodwill to the gentry class, painting the pie round and big, which was naturally a manifestation of not doing business properly in the eyes of the vast majority of people. However, as political opponents, Zhang Xiaoqi and the others absolutely did not dare to ignore it in the slightest, because through these appearances, they knew very well what way Chen Kai was trying to enhance his own strength, and the huge figure hidden behind them was even more untouching.

Gaozhou, the capital city of Gaozhou, this is not Guangzhou, which has just held two conventions and has successfully begun to affect the political and ecological environment of Fujian and Southern Jiangxi, but as Chen Kai agreed to the proposal of the Consultative Bureau, and personally went to the Advisory Council to vote on the matter of allowing the Tan people to go ashore to earn a living, the rapid wind also made the air here stagnate.

Within two days of Gao Lian Lei Qiong's governor Yamen getting the news, the local scholars and doctors naturally received the news. They gathered together in twos and threes, exchanging information with each other in a low voice, discussing their respective opinions, and from time to time whispering and snickering and lamenting.

"I heard that Zhang Fujun lost his temper very much, and now the officials and officials in the governor's yamen are all light and cautious, lest they be noticed by Zhang Fujun and become a cylinder for anger."

"It's no wonder. There is a way to cut off people's financial means like killing their parents, don't look at Hepuzhu's current production is pitiful, but there are still a lot of people counting on it in the governor's yamen and Fubiao. Now that Chen Fujun is letting the people go ashore to make a living, it is clear that the carriage and horse are going to take Hepuzhu, so it is strange that Zhang Fujun can be happy. ”

"I don't see only Hepuzhu, I heard that Guangzhou, Chaozhou, and Qiongzhou are all banning navigation to Manila, because the King of Min is not used to seeing the Francophone bullying the Han maritime merchants. On Zhang Fujun's side, he still let him go, not to mention, even the Francois from Manila can trade, and he is not the Fubiao who wants to make money to support him. ”

"Hehe, what's the use of feeding? As far as Zhang Xiaoqi raised the standard, on the ground of our Gaozhou Mansion, it is estimated that even Guo Dengdi and Zhang Yue can't beat it. If you run into those heroes under Chen Fujun's command who have fought hard against the Tartars, you can't even run away from the wind. ”

"It's not that exaggerated, I should still be able to escape."

"I didn't say that I wouldn't run away, but just like their bears, I probably heard that Chen Fujun's army was coming, so they fled directly, and they definitely didn't dare to look at it, even if they didn't dare to look at it."

After all, it is on the ground of Gaozhou Mansion, and it is always necessary to give Zhang Xiao some face. Therefore, when the joke enters the ears of everyone, the laughter inevitably lowers the volume of laughter.

However, although it is said that this is under the rule of the governor Yamen of the high-ranking Lei Qiong, if you talk about the respect for the governor who was born as an orthodox civil official in the imperial court, the local gentry, merchants and powerful people basically maintain a politeness. This is not that Zhang Xiaoqi has done anything that disgusts them, but this person is more than human, and there will always be people who are hated by others and refuse to die early.

"Chen Fujun is said to be a character who never makes a move easily, and he will definitely see the real chapter if he makes a move. This time, Zhang Fujun is afraid that it will be sad. When the time comes, the establishment of the Consultative Bureau will inevitably give us the opportunity to show our strengths. ”

There must always be a run in life. Among them, there is always a high ambition and a low one, and the vast majority of the so-called laypeople are the mainstream of society.

When Liu Bang and Xiang Yu looked up to the high First Emperor in the crowd, the goal of their life took root in the depths of their hearts, and there was no way to pull it out.

People of different classes and identities have different demands for promotion, even if they are lonely people in that supreme position, they also have to tremble in order to defend the country and society, and then expand the territory and spread the eternal glory. Therefore, the popularity of the imperial examination was in line with the demands of the lower classes for class promotion, and the reason why the emperor wanted to vigorously promote it was indispensable to use the new blood produced by the imperial examination to impact the inherent vested interest groups and prevent the imperial power from being squeezed by the old forces.

The Manchu Qing Dynasty routinely conducted the imperial examination in the pass at the beginning of the breakthrough, even if it was mixed with the sand of the Manbang and the Han Bang, but compared to the Nanming who had forgotten this crucial matter, it was still a shortcut to class promotion. Therefore, the reason why the Manchus were able to enjoy the support of a large number of Han doctors, both rich and poor, while practicing all kinds of evil laws.

The imperial examination was a great weapon for the Manchus to win the hearts of the Han people, and the Ming court, as the orthodox Han regime, abolished its martial arts, that is, Emperor Longwu and Sun Kewang were still a little conscious.

However, even if Emperor Longwu frequently gave the green light to scholars in the imperial examination, he always needed to take the exam, and it was still a reality where thousands of troops had crossed the single-plank bridge. Once one or two generations fail the exam, class downgrade is not a joke. However, the advisory bureau set up by Chen Kai in Guangzhou made it clear that he wanted to use power to win over powerful people at the grassroots level, which was clearly a more convenient channel.

Now, Chen Kai's establishment of the Advisory Bureau on the ground in Guangdong is impressive, and even the surrounding areas have been affected. However, as a part of Guangdong Province, southwest Guangdong has always been the same - local warlords are divided, and the government has to rely on people, not to mention the gentry and merchants. The poor scholars are eager to ascend to the sky in one step by the imperial examination, and the local powerful people are eager to obtain a higher status and achieve further class promotion, and the civil official group in western Guangdong not only does not follow the trend to set up a consultative bureau, but even organizes the imperial examination. As a result, the desire for Chen Kai to drive Zhang Xiaoqi away as soon as possible has become more and more popular.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaoqi was about to be unlucky, the expectation for a "better future" also grew arbitrarily in the hearts of these people. Of course, there are also many old people who are worried about the country and the people, worried that the war will really meet, and the contradiction between the central court behind Zhang Xiaoqi and the Zheng group behind Chen Kai will cause a chain reaction and let the Manchus take advantage.

"Chen Fujun still has a set of Tartars, even Hong Chengchou can't help him, he shouldn't suffer."

The owner of the voice did not explicitly say whether it was a loss to the Manchus or the imperial court, but the upheaval was coming, and people could not help but have mixed blessings. It's just that the changes are far faster than imagined, to be precise, Chen Kai made a move, and Zhang Xiaoqi naturally had to pay tribute in return.

"New news, new news."

The panting Confucian almost crashed into the private room, which really startled everyone present. However, this "new news" directly made them forget the rudeness of the visitor, and a quick hand hurriedly handed over a cup of tea, so that he could continue to talk.

"The news that just came out from the governor's yamen said that Zhang Fujun was going to impeach Chen Fujun......"

"Impeachment, does it work?"

Chen Kai is not an ordinary civil official, as the number two person of the Zheng group, he has such a huge feudal town behind him, and many tricks in the political struggle are ineffective against him. Two words in exchange for scorn, at least most of the time. However, some people seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly asked about the content of the impeachment, but they were immediately surprised.

"Zhang Fujun wants to impeach Chen Fujun for abusing the law of captive court, saying that Chen Fujun is the second Tong Yangjia."
