Fang Congzhe said without hesitation: "I am willing to serve the work of dogs and horses." ”

After a pause, Fang Congzhe asked again: "I don't know if Yuanfu knows about this?" ”

After speaking, Fang Congzhe immediately regretted it, without Shen Shixing's support, Lin Yanchao didn't dare to mess around.

Lin Yanchao smiled and said: "Giving advice to the righteous monarch is my original intention, if there is no Yuanfu's instructions, I won't dare to do it?" Having said that, if this matter is to be successful, we will have to contact a group of people of insight in the DPRK and China. ”

Fang Congzhe immediately said, "Please command." ”

Lin Yanchao said: "Among your fellow villagers in the same year, whether you are among the top students and uphold the public spirit, you can recommend one or two for me." ”

Fang Congzhe immediately said: "The student will go and run." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded, and let Fang Congzhe do it.

In addition to Fang Congzhe, another court official is also what Lin Yanchao wants to fight for, and this person is Yu Yuli, the current director of the Criminal Department.

Yu Yuli is a Jinshi in the eleventh year of Wanli, he is the nephew of Lin Yanchao in the same year as Yu Kongjian, and he is also a relative of Yu Shilian, the current Jishi of the Hanlin Academy.

Yu Yuli also made a good deal with Gu Xian, and at the same time he also admired the study of merit, this time after Lin Yanchao returned to Beijing, he visited several times to express his admiration.

At present, Lin Yanchao's forces in the DPRK and China are mainly still in the Hanlin Academy and the cabinet, and the strength of the Beijing officials is still very weak, which is far inferior to Gu Xiancheng and Zhao Nanxing.

If Yu Yuli is such a talent, if he is not accepted by him, he will be pulled away by Gu Xiancheng, so Lin Yanchao also used this matter to draw him into his camp.

In addition to Yu Yuli, there are two backbones who are Lin Cai, Zhong Yuzheng.

Zhong Yu was the same year as Lin Yanchao, when Li Zhi lifted Xu Zhenming to balance himself, it was he who reported to Lin Yanchao. The two have always had a relationship before, but they don't have a deep relationship. This time, Lin Yanchao also took advantage of this matter to see if this person was worth making friends.

Lin Yanchao looked for him, Zhong Yuzheng thought carefully for two days, and then agreed.

As for the forest timber is the eleventh year of Wanli, he was awarded Shucheng Zhixian first, and after the expiration of three years, he was moved to the engineering department.

Lin Cai is a fellow villager of Lin Yanchao and a member of the Wenlin Society, although his friendship with Lin Yanchao is not as good as that of Ye Xianggao and Weng Zhengchun, it is also quite good.

Lin Yanchao co-opted the two, and also considered Lin Cai, Zhong Yuzheng was in the middle of the engineering department and the department of etiquette, as a speech official, it was their duty to advise, which was what Lin Yanchao valued the most.

In addition to giving things, there is also the imperial history, which is the eighth year of Wanli Jinshi, the same year of Lin Yanchao, and the current Shaanxi Provincial Imperial History Yang Hao.

Yang Hao's ability to supervise the imperial history is also thanks to Lin Yanchao's recommendation to Gu Xiancheng, and this time he also reciprocated the favor.

The rest, such as Guo Zhengyu, must also be ventilated, as soon as he heard about Lin Yanchao's plan, he was immediately willing to help. But this matter is risky, the last time he was dismissed, the courtiers felt that he was too close to Lin Yanchao, so this time Lin Yanchao only let him contact, instead of coming forward again.

As for Sun Chengzong and the protégés of the seventeenth year of Wanli, Lin Yanchao didn't mean to let them know at all, these people were still Shu Jishi, or apprentices in the court, and their foundation was very shallow, and they were involved in this matter, and they couldn't help too much, and second, it can be seen from Gu Yuncheng's experience that the Son of Heaven hates officials who have only been in the court for a few months talking nonsense.

And it is very unwise to expose one's strength for the sake of this one's admonition.

Through this incident, Lin Yanchao attracted a group of 'fellow believers', or 'fellow parties', in the DPRK and China, and these associations composed of fellow villagers and protégés in the same year have since stood on Lin Yanchao's side with a clear banner. Since this incident, the 'Lin Party', 'Min Party', or 'Merit Party', which was scolded by political opponents later, has been the first to take shape, and some people have even recorded in the history of the opposition very unkindly that the trend of forming a party in the court and engaging in private interests began with the Marquis Lin.

Of course, Lin Yanchao is currently gathering people for the time being, and has not yet taken action, although he knows that Shen Shixing is quite anxious in his heart, but now is not the time to do it.

By November, the Son of Heaven, who had been exempted from the court for two consecutive months, had already aroused the anger of the ministers.

Lu Hongchun, the head of the Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of Rites, was on the Son of Heaven.

It is said that His Majesty has been exempted from the court for several days since September, and the day before yesterday he issued an edict to be dizzy and weak, so he will temporarily stop talking about the court. When enjoying the Taimiao, the officials were sent to congratulate him, and the cloud 'did not dare to escape, and he was afraid of becoming a gift'......

On the first 26th, the decree was issued to avoid the dynasty, that is, when he heard the words of the people, it was said that His Majesty tried the horse and injured the forehead, so he caused the disease to blame himself. As people say, it is the pleasure of galloping for a while, and the defense of the whole body, it is still shallow......

Lu Hongchun's recital said very politely, when the Son of Heaven appointed Concubine Zheng as the imperial concubine, Jiang Yinglin wrote to oppose being demoted by the Son of Heaven, and Lu Hongchun, who was the director of the Ministry of Rites at that time, was very angry, and asked that Concubine Zheng and Concubine Wang Gong be crowned as imperial concubines. This time, dozens of ministers were sparse, and the Son of Heaven couldn't clean him up.

Now Lu Hongchun has written again to directly accuse the Son of Heaven.

He pointed out in the recital that there were rumors in the folk palace that the Son of Heaven was 'trying to hurt his forehead', and then he blamed himself, under the pretext that he was dizzy, but in fact, the Son of Heaven used the injury as an excuse to mess around in the palace and then not go to court, and then deliberately blocked the news.

Lu Hongchun's negligence can be said to have offended the dragon's scales.

The Son of Heaven was very angry, and the consequences were serious.

The Son of Heaven sent an edict to the cabinet, scolded Lu Hongchun, and defended himself for a long time, and finally asked the cabinet to redo it.

Shen Shixing did not dare to go against the will of the Son of Heaven, and planned to seize Lu Hongchun's office.

But after the holy decree reached the six branches, it was detained by the people in the matter, and they all went up to ask the Son of Heaven to pardon Lu Hongchun.

Where do you know that the Son of Heaven is even more angry, and he scolded these sparse people in the matter, but he just finished scolding in the matter, and he hasn't stopped. The imperial historians asked the Son of Heaven to pardon Lu Hongchun.

At this time, the Son of Heaven was so angry that he vomited blood, and in a fit of anger, he fined all the imperial envoys from Shangshu, and then personally ordered Lu Hongchun to be given a staff of sixty years, cut off his official status, and demoted to a commoner.

This incident caused a great controversy among the officials.

Because after the official was negligent, the Son of Heaven should have given people face and mercy, but the Son of Heaven even took heavy responsibility for the person who pleaded for mercy, and Lu Hongchun was only dismissed, but after the official pleaded, it was even worse, he was beaten sixty times and his official status was cut.

This method is the same as when the country was fighting for the country at the beginning of the year, and the relationship between the Son of Heaven and the hundred officials further deteriorated.

And Lin Yanchao, who was teaching Shu Ji Shi in the Hanlin Academy, also learned about it, and when Lu Hongchun was caned, he was teaching Shu Ji Shi Pavilion class.

Lu Hongchun's story has reached the ears of every official, and even the people in the Hanlin Courtyard are fluctuating.

But Lin Yanchao taught as if nothing had happened.

In class, Yuan Zongdao asked Lin Yanchao about the difference between valuing agriculture and light commerce and benefiting trade and industry.

As we all know, Lin Yanchao has always advocated 'trade and benefiting workers', which is in line with the propositions of Ye Shi and Chen Liang's merit school in the Southern Song Dynasty.

But at present, the national policy of the Ming Dynasty is to 'emphasize agriculture and suppress business', and Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of this dynasty, obviously supports this, and Lin Yanchao's opposition is undoubtedly against the ancestral system, and the Ming Dynasty has always pursued the national policy.

Lin Yanchao clearly knows, but he still opposes it, where is his reasoning?

Lin Yanchao then gave an example to the scholars.

A farmer harvested five bags of grain in a good year, and he planned to eat one bag for himself, one bag for food, one bag for wine, one bag for feeding pigs, and meat in the future, and the last bag for raising birds to relieve boredom.

If only four bags of grain are harvested in a bad year, then the farmer will definitely not plan to raise birds.

If you receive three bags, you will definitely not eat meat.

If you only receive two bags, you must not drink.

I only received one bag, and it was good to be able to make ends meet, and I didn't expect to eat well.

Therefore, if someone buys a bag of grain from a farmer, then a bag of grain in a good year is just equivalent to not raising birds and not relieving boredom for farmers.

Then there is meat, wine, and food, and if the farmer only has a bag of grain, then sorry he doesn't sell it for much.

Speaking of this, Lin Yanchao said: "Although farmers spend the same amount of effort on farming every year, for them, the money to buy a bag of grain is equal to the price of their last bag of grain. That's why scarcity is expensive. ”

Speaking of this, all the people present understood what Lin Yanchao was going to say, but they didn't understand what it had to do with heavy agriculture and suppressing business.

"So why should we focus on agriculture and suppress business, the more grain, the cheaper the price of grain, and the people all over the world can eat food. But the merchants do not produce, they hoard grain in the harvest year, sell the grain at a high price in the bad year, and sell the fifth bag of grain harvested in the harvest year at the price of the first bag of grain. ”

All the scholars understood that Lin Yanchao explained Taizu's intentions, and he did not praise or disparage.

"To get rich by diligence or to get rich by tricks are the two ends, but the price of grain, not to see how much sweat the people shed in the field in a year, how much work they do, but to see the price of the last bag of grain, if the people are diligent in farming, just encounter the wind and rain, but will find that the grain is cheap and hurt the peasants, so what is the point of being diligent in farming? On the contrary, if the price of grain is high, the common people will spontaneously cultivate even if the court does not persuade farmers. ”

Therefore, the fundamental solution is not to emphasize agriculture and suppress business. If one person buys a bag of grain, then it is calculated according to the price of the last bag of grain, if two people buy it, the price is calculated by the person with the highest bid, and if three people buy it, the price is calculated by the person with the highest bid. ”

"After the imperial court emphasized agriculture and suppressed business, the land was full of imperial merchants, honorable relatives, and the gentry who relied on the power of the court to do business, they colluded with the local government to control grain prices, and the common people had to sell the last bag of grain for money, and if someone dared to steal grain from them, they colluded with local officials to punish them, because the imperial court valued agriculture and suppressed business, and they did not dare to kill the common people who farmed, but what did it matter if the ordinary people who did business were killed, so the fewer merchants in the long run, the cheaper the price of grain."

The people were shocked when they heard Lin Yanchao's words, they didn't think of this truth.

Lin Yanchao saw that the people had gained a lot, and nodded at the moment, although these people are not needed now, but after they go to their respective jobs in two or three years, they may be solid supporters of their policies in the future.

So Lin Yanchao stopped, did not continue to tell, but asked the scholars to discuss, and arranged this as a library class, and wrote an article tomorrow to hand it in.
