"This prince will not hide it from you, don't look at the current Liaodong and the Liukou in the territory have been flattened, but the Ming Dynasty is still full of internal troubles, and there are still tens of millions of people who have become tenants in my Daming Realm who are struggling on the death line.

These people who have eaten a meal without a meal are the most dangerous, once they encounter natural and man-made disasters, these tenants are bound to become a new round of homeless, as long as they are guided by people with intentions, they will transform into homeless people in a short time, what should we do at that time? Do you want to destroy them again? ”

Everyone was silent, and the Jiangnan Rebellion that had just ended had made them realize the harm caused by the rogues. In the turmoil that lasted on the battlefield for more than a year, Henan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Zhejiang and other places were eroded one after another, and the direct or indirect losses of the Ming court were simply immeasurable.

The officials here may be greedy or treacherous, but none of them have failed IQ, they know very well that if the Ming Dynasty has another turmoil that has swept most of the Ming Dynasty, this dynasty that has lasted for nearly three hundred years will really collapse, which Zhu Youxiao, as the emperor, sees very clearly.

In order for the Ming Dynasty to continue, Zhu Youxiao will definitely dare to do anything, let alone kill a few people at that time, even if he kills all the gentry in Jiangnan, he probably won't have the slightest hesitation, so Yang Feng's words are really not to scare them.

After being silent for a long time, Cui Chengxiu said: "Xin Guogong, I don't know what we can do for you?" ”

Yang Feng looked at this person who could be called the number two person in Wei Zhongxian's group, and said with a smile: "What you have to do is very simple, I want you to mobilize all your strength, persuasion, coercion, and temptation, and support Lu Xiangsheng's new law of integrated errand and integrated grain payment in Jiangnan to the greatest extent."

This new law must be completed, otherwise my father will not mind smashing Jiangnan to pieces, and then support a group of obedient gentry. You know, for the sake of the country, my father can do everything, Wei Gonggong, what do you say? ”

Wei Zhongxian frowned, the reason why he invited Yang Feng to a banquet today was to hear his attitude towards the Jiangnan Reform, but he didn't expect this person's attitude to be so tough, making it clear that if Lu Xiangsheng's new law could not be implemented, he would not mind killing a bloody stance.

He thought for a while and said, "Grandpa Guo, our family has been serving Your Majesty for more than ten years, as far as our family knows, the reason why Your Majesty didn't send you down to Jiangnan is because you don't praise you for killing Jiangnan, right?" ”

"Killing?" Yang Feng shook his head: "I don't agree with this statement, in fact, I prefer to call it garbage cleaning." ”

"Sweeping the trash?" Wei Zhongxian's face was a little strange, "You actually call the Jiangnan gentry trash?" ”

"Isn't it?" Yang Feng sneered: "These gentry are not engaged in production, they continue to hoard the silver in their hands, buy low and sell high, and in disaster years, they even force the people to sell their fields at a low price.

Bengong remembered that during the Hongwu period, eight and ninety percent of the land of the Ming Dynasty was in the hands of the people, but now it is the opposite, and now all the land of the Ming Dynasty is in the hands of those gentry. Those people who have no land must survive, but as long as those who stutter can live, they will not make trouble, but even such a simple request is not willing to give it to us, the officials and gentry, you tell me, what should they do? ”

Everyone was silent, but they asked themselves, what would they do if their family couldn't survive?

"There's only one answer, and that's to get started."

Yang Feng's voice echoed in the hall.

"It's okay if one or two people can't live, and it doesn't matter much if there are ten hundreds, but what if there are thousands of people, millions or even tens of millions of people can't live? What happens once these people come together? ”

Yang Feng's voice became louder and louder, "My father has been out to exterminate the rogues for more than a year, and I have seen with my own eyes that the rogues who were originally surrounded and suppressed by the officers and soldiers and only have dozens or hundreds of people left, like lost dogs fleeing into the mountains.

They have been dormant in the mountains for a while, and after the officers and soldiers have withdrawn, they will take advantage of the government's unpreparedness to attack the county seat again, and once the county seat is breached, the rogues, who originally had only a few dozen or hundreds of people, will immediately swell to tens of thousands or even more than 100,000 people like a snowball in just one or two months.

Why is that? Are the people who are being held hostage by them fools? Don't they know that rebellion is a capital offense? No, they all know that the reason why they rebelled was because they couldn't survive, and since they would starve to death if they didn't rebel, why not take the opportunity to rebel, maybe they could still earn a way out. This is the reason why there have been more and more rogues over the years. ”

There was silence in the hall, and Yang Feng's words revealed the shortcomings of the Ming court.

"Everyone, it's not me Yang who is ruthless. Don't I want to be with the light and mingle with your colleagues, but have you ever thought about it, if the situation is really allowed to deteriorate, how long can the Ming Dynasty last? When the time comes, it will not be far from a change of dynasty? ”

"Yang Feng, you are bold!"

"Believe in the country, Hugh has to talk nonsense."

As soon as Yang Feng's words came out, many people spoke out one after another, even Wei Zhongxian frowned deeply, this Yang Feng was so bold that he even shouted out the words of changing the dynasty, he was too bold, right?

As if he understood what Wei Zhongxian was thinking, Yang Feng said with a straight face: "Father-in-law Wei, what this father-in-law said today you can truthfully tell Your Majesty tomorrow, even in front of Your Majesty, I still say this."

Throughout the Han, Jin, Tang, Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, the change of dynasties and generations was not because the land of the common people was all taken away by the gentlemen of the family, and the people who had no way out could only rise up, and finally subverted the imperial court. What is the difference between today's Ming Dynasty and previous dynasties, so for the continuation of the Ming Dynasty, what if this father is the villain?

As long as those local tyrants and inferior gentry are killed, and all the land is redistributed to the people, the Ming Dynasty can continue for another two hundred years, why not do it? Hahaha...... Tonight's wine is finished, this announcement is over! ”

After speaking, Yang Feng drank all the wine on the table, then stood up and strode out of the hall, leaving only a group of officials looking at each other.

After being silent for a long time, Wei Zhongxian said indifferently: "Everyone, you have all heard the words of Xinguo Gong, he told those people in Jiangnan through our mouth that Lu Xiangsheng was sent by His Majesty to Jiangnan to fight the front station, if it fails, then the next thing is Xinguo Gong and his hundreds of thousands of Jiangning troops."

If you don't want to burn the jade, don't play those unsightly methods, otherwise the consequences will definitely be unbearable for them. We've got it all here, and it's up to them what to do next. ”

After speaking, Wei Zhongxian stood up and slowly left with his hands behind his back......
