Qian Qianyi pointed out that in fact, all the Nandu regimes in history have faced troubles - the number of nobles, nobles, and warlords who followed the southward migration to the north is not worth mentioning compared with the natives of the south!

Moreover, the magnates in Nandu are basically empty-handed, and they do not have many means of production, that is, they have knives and handles but no money bags. And this Nandu magnates are even worse than in the past, not only do they have no money bags, but even the knife handle is firmly controlled by Zhu Cihong - although the knife handle is in the hands of the northerner generals, but now there is no northerner army leader who can argue with Zhu Cihong!

Because when Zhu Cihong entered Nanjing, he adopted a policy similar to that of Dolgon in Beijing, turning the backbone officers and soldiers of the New Army into "Nanjing people", giving them land around Nanjing, and also giving them money and land to build houses and resettle them in Nanjing.

However, this money was "burned" very worthwhile, and the military power in the hands of senior generals of the new army, such as Wu Xiang, Wu Sanfu, Li Yan, Hao Shaoqi, Li Ruolian, and Cao Youyi, was burned. The military power of the new army was concentrated in Zhu Cihong's own hands!

After firmly controlling the powerful new army of overcoming difficulties, Zhu Cihong eliminated or subdued several other powerful Beiren military groups (Zuo Liangyu, Huang Degong, Gao Jie, Shi Kefa, Gao Hongtu, Zuo Maodi, etc.) one by one by force or peaceful means.

By the time Hongxing was three years old, he had basically achieved the "unity of the Northern People's Congress" - all united around Prince Zhu.

While uniting the northerners, Emperor Zhu is also working hard to rob the southerners' money bags with the northerners' knife handles!

That's how his money came from!

If he hadn't moved south and hadn't gone south with a group of empty-handed northerners, Zhu Cihong would have worried about money every day even if he had held Beijing.

Now he has hundreds of thousands of northerners who go south, "poor and expensive", of course, he is not afraid of the Donglin Party and the Xilin Party...... It's the Xiaoice River period, and the water is cold! Whoever wants to go down and try it out though, stand up!

And no matter how many people drown, those who are alive have to pay!

Of course, Emperor Zhu's way to make money was not to send the northern army to rob it, or even to send northerner officials to loot it, but to let the southern scholars and officials who took refuge in the Ming court scrape the money themselves!

In order to improve the efficiency of scraping money, Zhu Cihong also dared to delegate power to the officials of the southern scholars and doctors, and allowed locals to be local officials - so that he knew where to go to loot! And he allowed well-behaved Southern officials to stay in the middle of nowhere, without the slightest fear of cultivating separatist forces.

For example, Luo Dagong, who was promoted from Shanghai County to Songjiang Prefect, was a "money scraping star" for three consecutive terms, and the people of Shanghai gave him the nickname of "Luo Paopi", and his official reputation was so bad. But it doesn't matter, he can still be the prefect of Songjiang! As long as he can scrape the money well and appease the place, that's fine - there are two keys to pacifying the place, one is to have some strength in the place; The second is to know the place well enough to know who to ask for money!

And the reason why Zhu Cihong dared to let go like this was because of the support of the "poor nobles" in the north.

He relied on the "poor nobles in the north" to govern the "rich gentry in the south", and the "poor nobles in the north" not only controlled the army, but also dominated the official offices at the imperial court and provincial governor levels, and also had an absolute advantage in the two "powerful departments" of Jinyiwei and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

That is to say, the "Nanfu Gentry" is mainly responsible for the local area in the Nanming officialdom, mainly serving as officials below the provincial level - it is easy for a "money-scraping star" like Luo Dagong to become the prefect, but it is difficult to become a governor, and even the chief of the six divisions under the yamen of the Jiangnan governor will not let him be it.

And the northerners "poor and noble" are responsible for holding the "rich gentry in the south" to scrape money for the country, and if they don't do a good job, they will wait for the dismissal and imprisonment!

There is a "money scraping star" like Luo Dagong on it, there is a northern governor on it, there are Jinyi guards controlled by the northerners in ambush around him, and a group of northerners are investigating his corruption, and the space for promotion is limited, so life must be difficult and he lacks a sense of security.

And life is not good, and there is a lack of security, of course, you have to form a party to protect yourself.

Therefore, the Nanren Party with the "Southern Rich Gentry" came into being!

And Qian Qianyi and Zheng Zhilong, also because of their status in the court and their local influence, became the leaders of the Nanren Party - the two leaders of the Nanren Party have different purposes, Zheng Zhilong and Qian Qianyi are in a group to fight for the position of the crown prince for their grandson "Zhu Tuhao". And Qian Qianyi looked at Wei Zaode's first assistant seat, and wanted to go up and sit down before closing his eyes, so he joined forces with Zheng Zhilong.

In the opinion of Wen Quanbo, who is most afraid of cold water, as long as he lives long enough, he still has a good chance to become prime minister. Because after all, the Northerners only have a basic market of a few hundred thousand households, which is too small compared to the indigenous people in the eight southern provinces.

And when they just came south, they were empty-handed, and they had to be dogs for Emperor Zhu, but after a long time, these people were all overwhelmed, and their true forms were revealed.

At that time, Emperor Zhu knew that if he wanted to govern the southeast for a long time, he had to rely on the scholars in the southeast...... Just like the Southern Song Dynasty in history! Those famous generals of Zhongxing were not dead later, but idle, and only one Wu Lan was left in power until death. But isn't the power of the center still attributed to the southeast scholars?

Now Emperor Zhu probably also realizes the fate of the Beiren Group, so he wants to train a successor for the Beiren Group by running a noble new school, right?

"It's a way to run a school and educate talents," Qian Qianyi stroked his gray beard, his eyes narrowed, "Isn't Emperor Guangwu also a student?" Primary school, middle school, and Beijing school are all nobles first, and Taixue should always let the world's scholars take the exam based on their ability, right? There are many incompetent local officials, either they read too little, or they don't know how to practice, if there is a school that can educate talents for the country, presumably Emperor Guangwu can also save a lot of worry, right? ”

"Zhongtang," asked the deputy secretary of Jingxue, "Guozijian has been closed for a long time, and it's time to reopen...... Who is the best person to bring this up? ”

"Let it be brought up by the Council." Qian Qianyi said, "It is common sense for local councilors to want local intellectuals to enter Taixue for further study...... Since Taixue has cultivated nine-grade officials for the country, he will recruit a little more people, and twenty or thirty thousand is not too much, right? That's an unofficial imperial history platform! ”

"Wuguan Yushitai" is the boast of the three students of the Song Dynasty, which means that although there are no officials, once they are in the book, even the prime minister may overturn it......

Now the "Southern Rich Gentleman" is suffering from being put in a beaten position by Zhu Cihong, and he can only be beaten, not fight back!

If there can be a "non-official imperial history platform", then the Nanren Party will have a way to fight back!

......

"Your Majesty, the ministers and others implore the imperial court to open the Taixue again, cultivate officials and capable officials for the imperial court, and open the ladder of passage for scholars......"

Forbidden City, Fengtian Temple.

There was a sudden accident at the council meeting, which was originally just a routine matter, and Zhu Zhiyu, a councillor who was recommended by Luo Dagong, the prefect of Songjiang, suddenly put forward a proposal to open Taixue again.

And this is not Zhu Zhiyu's suggestion alone, but a joint proposal by dozens of politicians from the four rivers and two lakes!

"Open the Taixue ...... again"

Zhu Cihong took the Jianbai book handed by Zhu Zhiyu, and asked this bearded old man, nearly fifty years old, and still in good spirits, "Zhengjun (he has twice rejected the characteristics of the imperial court, and finally only became a local recommended councilor, so he has the nickname of Zhengjun), I am about to ask you for advice...... This matter is related to the foundation of Confucianism, and if you don't figure it out, it's too hard to learn! ”

"What? Confucianism fundamentally? Zhu Zhiyu was stunned, Zhu Cihong is Wang Gu talking about him, but this "he" is a bit big, directly related to the foundation of Confucianism, what is it?

Zhu Cihong nodded, deliberately lowering his voice, but let everyone in the hall faintly hear: "Zhengjun, do you know about Kong Lin's theft and excavation?" Now there is a treasure of Kong Lin on the market in Lushunkou! ”
