"The types of fires can be roughly divided into: solid fires, liquid fires, gas fires, ......"

Jiang Tian did not give a lecture in person for a long time, and just after the Spring Festival, he convened senior researchers from the Naval Research Institute to receive training in his own private school in Beijing, mainly explaining the relevant content of fire prevention and fire extinguishing in ship design, but he himself was not a professional in ship design, and the ships in this year were still built with combustible materials, so he could only use half a bucket of water to combine the military knowledge with the fire knowledge he had learned at work, which was a kind of research topic that pointed out the direction.

opened a new course, Song Yi naturally put down all affairs to come to audit, Xinyue must also attend, but none of the other gentlemen came, even Zhang Huan, who had a strong interest in all scientific knowledge, did not appear. Those researchers who rushed over from Tianjin naturally didn't know how abnormal this was, but everyone in the officialdom in the capital knew that a storm was blowing around him Jiang Tian.

Generally speaking, as the first great meeting of the new year, if there is no urgent matter, everyone will not discuss military affairs in the New Year, especially the military victory that was won before the first year of the first month, and now there is nothing important to do. As a result, it was supposed to be a harmonious court meeting, but it overturned because of an emperor who was unwilling to be lonely.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although our army can resist the enemy and recover its homeland, it can't prevent internal thieves!"

After listening to the sycophants of a group of people who sang praises of virtue, Zhang Tao finally couldn't hold back his anger and said this sentence with a sneer. The ministers under His Majesty Dan were naturally frightened, but they didn't know what the emperor's intentions were, so everyone quickly communicated with their eyes, and no one dared to answer this question.

"According to the report of the supervision department, the reform has been carried out very successfully." Without waiting for others to react, Zhang Tao continued to say in a tone that seemed to be ridiculous but was actually angry: "Just when you are whitewashing the peace one by one, even in this capital, under my feet, there are already a group of demons dancing around!"

Broken! Someone is going to lose their heads! The vast majority of the ministers who remained silent flashed this thought in an instant. To say that among the only few people who were calm, only Jiang Tian was able to take a moment to look around to see the reactions of others, and even King Ji stood aside with an old monk's expression, not daring to make unnecessary movements.

To say that in the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty, the only one who can fearlessly watch others make a fool of themselves is Jiang Tian, and at this time, he is indeed playfully scanning the princes in the main hall. To say that these officials are really stupid, they always think that the emperor is a fool and a rice worm, and they can unite with the same party to deceive the superiors and subordinates, and embezzle the fat and ointment of the people in the world. Whenever they destroy a dynasty, they can throw the black cauldron of the dead country to the king of the dead country, and they will change the court and the emperor to continue to suck blood.

Even if there are really people in this group who rule the country according to the teachings of the sages, the vast majority of them can't survive the corrosion of sugar-coated shells and eventually become one of them. The few remaining are either compromised with reality and survived in the cracks, or they are trampled under the feet of these people and will never be able to turn over. Far from it, didn't there only one Hai Rui appear in the entire Ming Dynasty?

Returning to this court, Jiang Tian did glance at these officials very easily, if there is anything wrong with Confucianism, that is, Confucius trusts the knowledge and morality of officials too much, and he preaches the kindness of relatives and relatives too much, you see that these Confucian disciples are not just following the teachings of Confucius, taking care of the small family first, and then considering everyone, if the interests of the small family conflict with everyone, then according to the teachings of Confucius, it is naturally their own interests that are more important, I think that when the four schools of Confucianism, Taoism, Law and Mo quarreled at the Spring and Autumn Forum, Confucianism's false benevolence and false righteousness were criticized more than once and could not be refuted.

Although Zhang Tao and Jiang Tian are not people of the same era, they have a common language because of the same social ideological system, that is, the court in their hometown keeps preaching the small family to take care of everyone, don't look at many people stand up and strongly oppose this statement, but the lessons of the calamitous motherland with blood again and again tell us that without everyone, the small family cannot be saved at all.

In fact, such a simple truth is that these Confucian children can't understand it? It's not because of greed and selfishness that they can't think about this problem at all, look at the officials of Beijing in the former Ming Dynasty, they thought that if they died a Chongzhen, they would be able to live a small life with a pile of silver, but as a result, most of the corrupt officials of the Manchu Dynasty who Chongzhen couldn't kill died in the hands of Li Zicheng, and the flesh and blood they scraped from the dry bones of the Ming Dynasty became their own life-urging charms and were eaten by the various military leaders of the peasant army, is it ridiculous?

It can be seen from this that after a deep understanding of history and a different society, Zhang Tao's anger and Jiang Tian's indifference complement each other, and they have never had a glimmer of hope in this bureaucratic system and Confucianism that has lasted for 2,000 years. No wonder his hometown wants to launch WG, but is this really Confucianism's fault? No, what is wrong is the greed of human nature and the inability of the productive forces to meet the minimum social needs, these two problems cannot be solved, and any doctrine or ideology will lead to the same demise.

Inevitably, a long list of corrupt officials was announced, and as each name was read out, many people were already trembling and almost fainting, even the transcendent King Ji couldn't help but shed a cold sweat at the moment, because in this list, there are not only old officials in the traditional sense, but also many people are new officials of the imperial party.

Adhering to the military thinking that if you don't move, you will be able to do it, and if you move, you will be like a thunderbolt, and Zhang Tao will not say anything until he has sufficient evidence and a complete chain of crimes. King Ji, who is his younger brother, knows this very well, but he didn't expect Zhang Tao to investigate so fully, even if it was just to endorse and cover up these people in the court, what benefits he has received and what promises he has made are all clear!

Since the emperor proposed to carry out a pilot economic reform in Beizhili, the officials of the old and new factions have already understood that the emperor is imperative after seeing that Jiang Tian's opposition is ineffective, and there is no room for negotiation. But they soon found out that this was actually a good opportunity to embezzle state-owned assets, since the ownership of the land was redeemed by the state, then the peasants on the land became tenants of the state, and they were sent by the imperial court to the official family of the great emperor village in Beizhili, after collecting the rent due for Zhang Tao...... They are all big landlords, who hasn't taken advantage of the experience of tenant farmers?

So the two factions, which should be incompatible, in the face of huge profits, immediately released their previous suspicions and joined forces to lay out the situation, anyway, as long as they gather enough public food and taxes that should be paid by the end of the year, so that the emperor's face can get by, as for how they will exploit those untouchables next, it is not a matter of getting caught, not to mention that even if something goes wrong, as long as the emperor can't hold his face and dare not admit that his reform failed, it is not a big thing to turn into a small thing, and a small thing is still the sound of the waves!

In order to collect evidence of the old forces' reactions, and also to ensure the stability of the front, Zhang Tao did not stop them at the first time, which also made the other party make a miscalculation, thinking that he had succeeded in his treacherous plan, and even connected with many important ministers in the DPRK and China, and trumpeted the results of reform, so as to prepare for the promotion of this policy to the world.

Jiang Tian glanced at the Imperial Forest Army who quietly appeared behind the courtiers, and the old man Liu who was fully equipped with a helmet and armor, and had to shake his head helplessly. King Ji glanced at his movements from the corner of his eye, and returned to the demeanor of an old monk. As for the officials whose names were called in the main hall, they would not even have a chance to defend themselves, and they would be dragged down by the two guards.

It wasn't until the list was read that the court had lost one-third of the number of people in the court, and this "empty seal case", which was comparable to one of the four major cases of Hongwu, and the "reform case" that was similar to it, could be regarded as the curtain had begun, and it was far from reaching the point of closing the case. Looking at the remaining two-thirds of the main hall now, Zhang Tao is sad as usual.

"You ask yourself, since the founding of this dynasty, can I treat you as harshly as the previous Ming? If you don't want to serve the country and serve the people, but you still want to ignore the safety of the country for your own selfish interests, then you will not blame me for being ruthless. ”

These few words are about justice and domineering, but the group of people standing below do not think so, the Ming Dynasty is indeed a meager salary, but except for the Hongwu Dynasty, the income of officials is not low. In particular, non-tax payment and all kinds of private fraud, both open and covert, are the most lucrative jobs in the world. But as soon as your old man came to power, his salary was raised, but the tax exemption policy and land annexation were taken away, who do you say is stingy?

Taking advantage of the opportunity of the gathering of officials of the Great Dynasty Meeting, Zhang Tao, who successfully carried out a large-scale raid, was actually not happy, especially the depravity of the new officials made him heartbroken, which further affirmed the basic law that moral education cannot replace the perfect system, whether it is the benevolence of Confucianism, or the unborn @ class @ level @ revolution @ life of another time and space, there are countless people who abandon etiquette, righteousness and shame in the face of temptation, only the strict punishment of the Legalists has been regarded as a standard by the rulers of all dynasties.

Zhang Tao looked at the group of civil and military ministers under His Majesty Dan with their heads down, and sincerely felt a sense of powerlessness against the entire society: "I hope you will wait for yourself today, if there is nothing else, just disperse!" ”

As soon as he finished saying this, the people standing on the shift had not shouted out according to the convention, "There is a decree in the saint, there is no ...... to retreat from the dynasty in the morning", only to see Jiang Tian take a step forward and shout: "Minister, there is something to play!" ”

The ministers who thought they had escaped today's catastrophe all looked at him in astonishment, and even King Ji could no longer maintain his image, turning his head to look at Jiang Tian who had walked on the royal road.

Zhang Tao saw that his fellow was going to be a demon again, but he could only say with a pleasant face: "What does the virtuous brother have to play?" If you want to intercede for those scum, you don't have to open your mouth! ”

"Your Majesty!" Jiang Tian just clenched his fists and did not kneel: "Corruption, abuse of power, deception, as long as the evidence is conclusive, they should be punished according to law." ”

"And what's the matter with you?"

"What the minister wants to ask is, corrupt officials are easy to kill, if the world's officials go and follow each other to be corrupt and kill endlessly, what should we do?"

When he said this, not to mention that Zhang Tao was taken aback, even the other officials were also big in an instant, and they complained in their hearts that Jiang Tian was not a big deal to watch the excitement.

Zhang Tao sat on the dragon chair, leaned back slightly, and stared at Jiang Tian with slightly squinted eyes: "Then what Brother Yi Xian means, is it to keep them so that other corrupt officials can't take the position?" ”

Wechen didn't have this intention, but Wechen read the history books and found that the corrupt officials of all dynasties and dynasties have been endlessly in history, all because of the failure of supervision and the inability to restrain the right, and even often the inspection institutions such as the imperial historian are the minions of the party and the selfish, such as the former Ming Donglin and the like, the imperial history platform has become a lackey for the party to attack political enemies, and the party is the same as the other! It can be seen that if you can't put your rights in a cage, today's events will happen again! ”

He said these words loudly, but others didn't think so, who doesn't know what you said, everyone is not a fool, but as long as people are officials, the vast majority of people will inevitably be swayed by various temptations.

"Then you have a good way to govern the country?"

At this time, everyone felt that this senior brother was singing double reeds again, and they didn't know what system was going to be introduced, anyway, no one dared to oppose it now.

Jiang Tian looked up at Zhang Tao, not at all as frightened as the courtiers looked at the emperor: "As far as I can see, the root cause of the collapse @ Fang @ style @ corruption @ defeat of Beizhili this time lies in the rush of reform, the unreasonable design of the system, and too many loopholes, leaving too much opportunity for the local @ dance @ cheating@, the policy @ policy @ propaganda @ lecture @ is not in place, and the supervision and inspection agency has not yet been completed, but it has been pulled down by the corrupt @ officials......

The more everyone listened, the more frightened they became, and they saw that Zhang Tao's face was getting greener and bluer, until they finally couldn't help but shout: "Enough!" Are you saying that I am the sinner who has brought disaster to the country and the people! ”

Not to mention the fact that the officials who had just been lucky not to be arrested were shocked, even Liu Baokai couldn't stop sweating, no one knew which tendon Jiang Tian was wrong today, and he played the game of the former courtier's death and rebuke Jun Fei. Even if you want to make a name for yourself, at least you should be a person from the Confucian side, so that you can preach and preach praise, which one are you singing as a reformer?

I saw that Jiang Tian didn't seem to be moved: "The minister has already made it clear that although the reform is urgent, it must not be treated with caution, under the condition that the productive forces have not produced qualitative changes, the forced reform is only to pull out the seedlings and help the growth, the people do not understand the reform, there is neither a mass base nor the productive forces to support it, and there is no serious external threat, can the reform not become a gluttonous feast that harms the public and private interests?" In the final analysis, today's situation is the result of your impatience for quick success! ”

Seeing Zhang Tao's face turn from blue to purple, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty sweated for Jiang Tian, regardless of which faction Lord Jiang was in before, according to the tradition of the literati, the name of this outspoken and daring Zheng Chen is a real fall, as long as you Lord Jiang survives today and does not die, all the people in the world have to write you a "service" word!

"Good! Good! Very good! Zhang Tao stood up suddenly, habitually looking for something to throw at Jiang Tian, at a glance he saw Liu Baokai next to him, and he was about to pull out the saber in his waist after two quick steps, and the old man Liu, who knew the emperor very well, did not wait for him to come over, and regardless of the armor, he hurriedly fell to the ground: "Your Majesty think twice!" ”

Zhang Tao was stunned for a second by this loyal veteran, and then looked back at Jiang Tian, who was still standing with his head held high, and could only stomp his feet in resentment, turned around and walked out of the main hall.

No one shouted to retreat from the court, the full set of honor guards had already retreated after the emperor's footsteps, and the big guy was still at a loss by the things in front of him, until King Ji coughed lightly and waved his hand to the ministers to retreat from the court. King Ji originally wanted to have a good chat with Jiang Tian when the people were gone, but he didn't expect that he, Lord Jiang, still shook his head gently, and walked away as if no one was around.

The officials present naturally took the initiative to divide into two columns, flashing a way for him, and watched this fortunate minister turn around gorgeously, becoming a legendary figure who must be written about in the record of loyal ministers. As for how to set off a new round of storm in the officialdom of the capital, this is no longer as simple as a simple battle between factions.

Everyone knows that the current Son of Heaven is approachable most of the time, but when it comes to political positions, this emperor is ruthless, especially for dissidents, if you can say something, you can just do it, if it is just the opposition for the sake of opposition in the past, or there is some ulterior secret to oppose it, then what awaits this person must be a severe blow.

So this time everyone is waiting to see Emperor Zhang's jokes, and it is none other than your junior brother who has always valued you, and this is still a capable minister who is difficult to find out the major issues of right and wrong, did you Emperor Zhang pinch his nose and admit it, or did he blacklist your junior brother without discrimination? Of course, during this period, there were also many letters to impeach Jiang Tian, and there were even "smart" people who organized a group of scholars who lacked heart and eyes to prepare to support and oppose the reform in tandem, which had the meaning of adding fuel to the fire and taking the opportunity to kill Jiang Tian.

And in the center of the storm Jiang is not at all consciously caused a big disaster, if it weren't for the fact that he can't get married in the first month of the folk customs, he may have officially married Meng Daya now, although the wedding date is set in the second month of the lunar calendar, but now the Jiang Mansion has officially accepted Meng Daya's promotion to the eldest wife, and the battle for the concubine position, which was originally half-concealed, quickly evolved into a struggle line that "unites around the leadership with Mrs. as the core, and adheres to the struggle line of preventing the outside Sao @fox@raccoon dog from entering the door......"

Jiang Tian maintained a normal heart of turning a blind eye to this matter in his backyard, it was not that he didn't want to stand up and clarify his concept of marriage, but Meng Daya's words made him dispel this idea: "Let the woman do the woman's affairs by herself, sir, you just need to think about whose room you sleep in at night!" ”

This made Jiang Tian refresh his understanding of Meng Daya again, and sighed sincerely: "Sister, you don't have to compromise like this!" ”

As a result, Meng Daya replied to him very bluntly: "If you are really a nasty embryo who is happy to see lust, there will be more than just the quiet sisters on the bed, but no one can stop the hooves outside from deceiving you as an honest person, fortunately, the sisters in the house never thought that you would have today when they entered the door, so they are not afraid that they will bring other thoughts, and besides, they have learned the ability to serve people, and you can save you from coveting the wild flowers outside!" ”

Jiang Tian, who was completely shocked by Meng Daya's true character, pondered carefully, his cousin is really unseemly, by acquiescing to the status of concubines to other women, in exchange for the actual support of these people, and using the "simple" characteristics of these people's identities to exclude possible political opponents, hinting to them that they can compete for favor by normal means, it destroys the possibility of these people forming a united front, and they will not hate her because they can't turn positive, anyway, the opportunity is given to you, whether you can be regarded by the master is your own business. In the end, she also expressed to her husband that she would not be jealous, so as to gain her husband's respect and ensure that her political status was not shaken, it can be said that even if she can't give birth to a son, the backyard of this Jiang Mansion will always be in her hands.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened Jiang Tian became, he could only sigh: "Cousin, cousin, if you become an official with this scheming, I will be sold by you and help you count the money!" ”

But at this moment, the news that Jiang Tian offended the emperor at the court meeting also came out, although he was still the same at home, and he didn't have any fear at all, but these people in the backyard couldn't help but have other thoughts. Meng Daya, who had just taken over the backyard not long ago, naturally saw the small movements of many people, but she didn't say anything.

Different from the calm of the undercurrent surging in the Jiang Mansion, the outside of the courtyard wall has long been boiling, and groups of people who have either received benefits or benefited are in the streets and alleys, tea shops and restaurants, and they are talking about how Lord Jiang denounced the emperor's mistakes in the Jinluan Palace, so that the emperor couldn't answer, and finally had to hide his face and escape into the harem! This proved that the emperor's reforms were wrong, and the country should return to its previous path......

This kind of behavior that disturbs public opinion in the eyes of the eyes naturally became the target of the Beijing Police Department, which had just been established, at the first time. But it did not prevent the rumors from evolving in various versions, and everyone on the streets and alleys knew about them. And the more silence there is in the palace, the more the truth of the matter is confirmed, and this battle for public opinion seems to be beginning to show a one-sided trend. Even Jiang Tian felt strange that the traditional civilian forces could still gather such a powerful force to launch a public opinion war under repeated blows!

Just when various forces were secretly competing to prepare for a big battle, with a male duck voice coming from the door of Jiang's mansion, they arrived at @Gao@tide

"The Divine Decree to ...... Jiang Tian received the order......"
