Chapter 471: The world is in chaos
Although on the surface, the landlord class whitewashes itself with various moral discourses and self-proclaimed discourses, in essence, they are nothing more than interest groups.
When the Nanming government suddenly showed that it was unable to protect the place, and at the same time had to collect money, it happened that after the inflation tiger was released by the Council of Elders, how could it be so easy to take it back.
Their biggest problem is that the overseas financial resources are cut off, and it takes time to continue, and the so-called Kangqian era in history is just supported by the European civil war and the potato prosperity, and its internal corruption is actually extremely corrupt.
This economic model is arguably the most fragile.
In the past, they could still do it tomorrow when the army of the imperial capital came, they would make me an official, and I would see what to rob at that time.
But now, even the most extreme arrogant, the most Confucian scholars with the most Kong Yiji and Fan Jin's style, finally can't deceive themselves anymore, and say to themselves how the elders will be polite and virtuous, how to treat them literati, they just haven't hit the south before, and when they get to the south, they will definitely send people to welcome a talented man like themselves to Beijing as an official.
But now, under the last purge, there is no more luck, and on the Yansheng Mansion, just killing hundreds of servants is such a trivial matter, making a fuss and arresting people, it is simply insulting, not killing the servants, how can it show the prestige of the Yansheng Mansion.
"Smack!" The head of the Liu family angrily smashed a fine jade cup!
"The demon is chaotic in the imperial capital, don't give me a way to live, it's too much to deceive people!"
Although it is not a big county, but the Liu family here is a family of scholars who have been inherited for hundreds of years, and someone must be admitted to the examination in each generation, nearly half of the land in the nearby states and counties is the Liu family, and its thousands of tenants are like a soil emperor, even if the county order takes office, the first thing is to visit him, and he usually has to look at the face of the Liu family.
The Liu family's tax rate on the rent collected by the tenants is not high among the landlords, only sixty or five, but it is nearly 80,000 acres of fertile land, and there is an annual income of more than 70,000 taels of silver, and the family of several hundred people lives quite chicly.
But this year, no matter how frugal they are, how to squeeze the wealth created by the tenants, and how to make ends meet have become the mainstream of landlords everywhere. No matter how desperate you are, you can't make ends meet, but a lot of money can't be saved, you have to support scholars and continue the Liu family's industry, even if the Liu family no longer pays taxes to the imperial court since the year before last, and the land rent tax rented to tenants has been increased to seventy percent and five, but under the continuous flight of farmers, the Liu family's income this year must not even be one-third of last year's, how can they still feed a family of hundreds of people, which makes the head of the Liu family not angry and scolded.
In fact, even if the Liu family is really cut off two-thirds of their income at once, there are still more than 20,000 taels a year, how can they not be able to feed a few hundred people in a family, you know, the living expenses of each tenant household under them are only less than ten taels of silver per year, and they have not been able to live all the time.
However, people are always selfish and only want more, and losing a single point will make them uncomfortable, not to mention the loss of tens of thousands of taels of silver every year, which is even worse than killing them.
It was not only the Liu family who was angry, but all the scholars everywhere were angry and scolded.
They are all powerful people in various places, they control a lot of local resources, and they are used to being powerful one by one, and of course they know what causes their unhappy lives.
Dumping.
The Presbyterian Church doesn't even need to meet the food needs of all the people with food, and usually, in the futures market of the future, three to five percent of the funds can be aggregated to beat the retail investors who have a lot of money themselves.
In the new time and space, the methods of the Presbyterian Church are certainly not as good as those shrewd and cunning fund managers in later generations, but the cheap grain panic caused by the 10% share of grain, regardless of the loss, is enough to make those grain merchants who are afraid of the funds in their hands sell wildly.
"The imperial capital doesn't want us, don't blame me for being unjust!" After a powerful family head was ruthless, he said such a thing, which is also the voice of many other big families.
Compared with the local big families in Jiangnan, those who ran away from the north hated the dumping plan of the Presbyterian Church even more.
There are rumors that the grain in the north is not clean, and there are people who have touched porcelain and said that they have eaten the grain in the north and died, but in essence, in this matter, they can't hold their arms and thighs.
In desperation, they chose what they had done in later history.
Countless farmers have been armed under the orders of the clan, even if there is actually a better way out for them, but under the information asymmetry, this is it, and the people who control them will brainwash them, and they are easy to be fooled.
The riots of smashing, looting and burning in various places, these fierce reactions had long been expected by the elders, and for the pile of information in front of him, which was half a person high, Wang Jian only casually flipped through one of them and glanced at it, "Archive." ”
"No situation can change our minds!" The opinions of the elders have long been unified, and their hearts are so strong that no matter what happens, he will not waver, let alone those people who are just making trouble in the local area, and he will not care about these things, just like a swarm of flies screaming.
The next day, the Council of Elders held a press conference, in which it expressed concern about the Jiangnan riots on the front page of the Imperial Capital Daily, and sternly questioned whether the counterrevolutionary regime in Jiangnan still had the ability to protect the territory and the people and maintain order, and at the same time, the concept of free trade could not be trampled on, and certain forces that tried to block the wheel of history, social progress, and the development of the productive forces would surely be stinted for 10,000 years by the iron fist of the dictatorship.
"Let the storm come harder!" Wang Jianran's cold smile was full of murderous intent.
Of course, he also knows what the problem is at present, as long as he is not blind, he knows that most of the troops in Hebei are currently transferred, in fact, only 3,000 people are left to protect the huge North China Plain, which is not just a military adventure, but to open the door to meet the thieves, of course, there are elders who personally guard the imperial capital, use the millennium bombing at any time, spacesuits hold high-powered weapons to sweep the formation, and the construction of the railway makes it possible to start and set the tide.
But those who don't know, thinking that the troops are transferred away, and the elders have become paper tigers, since things are doomed, then don't procrastinate, the imperial capital directly started, that is, to interrupt everyone's illusions, let them be honest, iron-hearted anti-imperial capital, if they want to make trouble as soon as possible, only when all those who are not convinced jump out, can they use thunderous means to sweep them away and suppress them strongly.
In essence, the presbytery's biggest reliance is on the already thriving farms in Liaodong, although it is still far from Beidacang, the main agricultural stock in later generations, but this era is a worse moment.
"It's also the blood of Taizu, that Zhu Cihong Xiao'er took refuge in the demon in the imperial capital, enjoyed the glory and wealth by himself, and enjoyed the best in the world, why don't we let our clans be unhappy, aren't we clans human! You can't give us a way to live! ”
In a farmer's house, Zhu Yujian was dressed as a farmer and scolded, and at the same time, there was a sharp light shining in the depths of his eyes, revealing a sense of ambition.
When the world was in turmoil, he also had the opportunity to become the emperor of the Southern Ming Dynasty as a candidate, but the strategy of the elders was also very vicious, directly to your door, either to put a dead horse's head at the head of your bed, or to put something in your son's house, and not once, or many times, even if any warriors or monks and Taoists were invited to ward off evil spirits, it was useless.
The sudden "weakness" of the imperial capital and the rebound of the gentry in Jiangnan suddenly made Zhu Yujian think that he had seized the opportunity, of course, he also tried his best to find the opportunity, escaped out, and met with these few people who were cautiously contacted in a place outside Nanjing.
"Everyone, those demons in the imperial capital brought about their own destruction, and now you know how many soldiers are left in the imperial capital? But a few hundred people, they worked the expedition, forgetting the way of governing the country with foreign peace and kindness, this is self-defeating! ”
Zhu Yujian laughed wildly, as a clan with some distant branches, not even a descendant of Zhu Di, the second king of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yujian, the king of Tang, was able to set off a storm in the south of the Yangtze River, and it was one thing to create heroes in the times, and it was also one thing to have his own ability.
The identity of King Fu is naturally closest to Zhu Cihong, and the advantage is undoubtedly great, but after being shot in the head, he died directly, but Zhu Yujian was lucky to wander in Hangzhou and other places.
Once so close to the throne, it is impossible for Zhu Yujian to have no ambition.
"Lord Wang, the demons in the imperial capital have no way, this heaven is destroyed, it actually violates the tradition of preferential treatment of civil officials in the Celestial Empire for thousands of years, and hurts the interests of the world's clans and clans, it is simply selfish to the extreme, they also know that they are all demons, and they are not worthy of being on the throne, so they have a council of elders, and what kind of republic, Lord Wang, you are the orthodoxy of the Celestial Empire, as long as you stand up and raise your arms, the world will inevitably return to the heart, and the big thing will happen!" A Confucian strategist smiled at Zhu Yujian.
"What Mr. said is yes, but those elders are used to coercing secretly, who dares to think about ascending the throne, they will threaten to death, isn't that King Lu Fu an example, King Lu was in bed with his maid at night, and suddenly a bloody head appeared next to him, and when he heard about it, it was inhumane." Zhu Yujian sneered, his eyes narrowed into a slit!
The strategist was stunned for a moment, reacted immediately, and then smiled: "What the prince said is, but they are now being tied up by overseas powers, where are we still moving, as long as the prince is cautious and does not expose himself, everything will be fine. And within the elders, what kind of elders' meeting has been organized, naturally there are people who are definitely not willing to be inferior in their hearts, as long as the prince ignores the past suspicions, Corporal Lixian, give those elders a little sweetness, they don't immediately bring those utensils to vote. ”
"Yes, the son can be taught, wait for me not to use the sword soldiers, and destroy the demons in the north with one hand!" Zhu Yujian thought so.
"The prince is wise!" The strategist flattered.
"Hahahaha!" The two immediately looked at each other and laughed!
A few days later, Wang Jian, the head of the State Security Bureau, walked into the conference room with ecstasy on his face.
"Several merchant families in the south of the Yangtze River, the Liu family, the Zhou family, the Wang family, and the Song family...... Wait for the nobles to gather in the secret tandem alliance! Jiangxi, Jianghuai, Hunan, Fujian, and Liangguang all had abnormal military movements, and the number of spies from the imperial capital also doubled! ”
"In addition, many vassal kings have moved, Tang King Zhu Yujian even suddenly fell ill and lost his trace, although Zhu Yihai is still in Shandong, but he also sent his son to the south, and has contacts with many plots against the scholar Haoqiang and other vassal kings."
The situation is very bad, if before, the elder army that suppressed the world with advanced weapons is now like a toothless tiger, and the careerist is naturally about to emerge, it seems that the whole world is on the verge of turmoil, and it may rebel at any time, and the world will be in chaos!
There was ecstasy in the office.
"Don't care about Zhu Yujian, the manpower and material resources needed for the rebellion are all in Jiangnan, where does he still have money? If there really is a scholar who is willing to sell his liver and blood to support him, I will also accept him. ”
Unlike other traversers, the Elders don't care about any changes to the rebels in the original system of the previous dynasty, and the resources of those rebels can only come from the bloodsucking of the original system, so they must rely on the original interest groups that kneel and lick, which would be strange if they can cause problems for the elders.
The elders only feel that these people are like ants everywhere, and it is not easy to catch, but if someone can gather them in a bottle, then how easy it is to directly ignite the fire and burn them, among them, Zhu Yujian, who has done some actions in history, is the most powerful, jumping up and down, hooking inside and out, is undoubtedly the best banner, they simply jump around by Zhu Yujian, it is best to recruit all those who want to rebel together, so as not to have fish that slip through the net in the future.
Soon, the Wuwen Qian troops began to show their might.
"Jiangxi Jingdezhen porcelain workers marched and demonstrated in support of the Ming Emperor! Only the bright sky is the bright sky. ”
"The prostitutes of the Nanjing Jiaofang Division put out a banner to support Zhu Yujian as the emperor, as the benefactor of the prostitutes of all Nanjing, Zhu Yujian ascended the throne, and the business of the Jiaofang Division must be rising."
"The Hunan Shipbuilders Alliance issued a notice to recognize Zhu Yujian's fugitive law issued in order to win support, and the fugitive law stipulates that as long as you owe people money, you can be taken into slavery, and those who dare to flee will be killed directly, Zhu Yujian is the backbone of our rich man!"
"The Liangguang Reading Club supports, claiming that Zhu Yujian supports the emperor's monarchs and ministers, and the top and bottom are orderly, from now on, scholars are scholars, peasants are farmers, and the imperial examination can only be referred to by three generations of meritorious people to ensure the interests of scholars!"
There are voices of support everywhere on the rivers and lakes, and all kinds of beautifully printed documents are everywhere, but as long as you think about it for a while, this is what gives him Zhu Yujian hatred, and the origin of these things is obviously from ......
Everywhere there are all kinds of careerists galloping off to connect with all parties.
Not only Jiangxi, Jianghuai, Hunan, Fujian, Liangguang, and even the most remote Yunnan, are full of changes, Zhang Xianzhong is obviously not satisfied with the small territory in the southwest, and hopes to take out a table knife to join this feast.
