Chapter 1316: Public Opinion
Chinese people have a characteristic, that is, hating family thieves is more than foreign enemies, the same thing, if the enemy did it, although the heart is also unhappy, but it can finally be understood, but if it is their own people who do it, it is absolutely unforgivable, otherwise the Cixi Lafayette would not have shouted out that he would rather give friends to domestic slaves.
From here, you can understand why Yang Feng was so angry after learning that Yang Laishun was actually greedy for more than 500,000 taels of silver, the feeling of being stabbed by his own people digging the wall behind his back, people who have not experienced it can't understand it.
Ignoring Da Yu'er, who was meditating, Yang Feng asked Kanaya and Milia, who were helping him beat his legs, "What do you say, how to deal with Yang Laishun and his wife." ”
Kanaya raised her delicate little face and said without hesitation: "A slave who betrays his master is not worthy of forgiveness, and in our Netherlands, if a slave dares to steal his master's money, he will definitely be hanged." ”
"Miria, do you mean that too?"
Miria hesitated for a moment and said, "It's a bit cruel, but I have to say that Kanaya is right. A slave who betrays his master really deserves to be put to death, because betrayal is addictive, with the first there will be a second, and forgiving the betrayer is the most stupid act. ”
Yang Feng sighed lightly, okay...... It seems that the fate of traitors is the same everywhere.
"Xianggong, do you really want to kill Yang Laishun and his wife? What about Yang Daniu? Da Yu'er, who was already familiar with Yang Feng's temper, saw Yang Feng's expression and knew that Yang Feng had murderous intentions, and asked with some concern.
Su Tong thought for a while: "Transfer Yang Laishun back to Jinling and arrange an errand for him, Yang Daniu must be regarded as the elder of the Jiangning Army, so let him retire there." ”
"Well, that's fine."
Seeing Yang Feng so insistent, Da Yu'er didn't say anything anymore, as for Yang Da Niu, although he was innocent in this matter, he changed from a promising young officer with military power to a rice worm who ate and waited for death, which was really unfair to him.
But the rules of this world are like this, one person makes a mistake and the whole family suffers.
The world has become accustomed to this, otherwise why would a person rebel and be punished by the Nine Clans, and even a baby who is just babbling will be executed, isn't this even more inhumane?
And the reason why Yang Feng did this is also for the sake of insurance, you must know that Yang Daniu is not an ordinary officer, now he is the commander of the first cavalry battalion of the Jiangning Army in Fujian, a guerrilla general, and the five thousand cavalry under his command are all the elite of the Jiangning Army.
You must know that Yang Da Niu is an old man who followed Yang Feng when he started, especially in the first battalion of the cavalry, he has stayed in the first battalion for six or seven years, and he has brought countless subordinates and colleagues.
"That's it, I'll write a handwritten edict later, remove Yang Daniu's position as commander, and then transfer the first cavalry battalion to Nanyang, and replace the second cavalry battalion back."
The capital in September is still high and crisp in autumn, but due to the gradual reduction of vegetation in the capital in this era, the weather is still very hot and dry, and there are more and more people drinking tea in the teahouse.
The teahouse in front of the Daxiangguo Temple is still standing, but the teahouse has changed owners, and the couple surnamed Jin has long disappeared, and the only thing that remains unchanged is that there are still many guests who come here to drink tea.
The favorite thing for these tea drinkers to do is to listen to Mr. Storyteller's commentary, or to listen to a well-informed person next to them tell some strange things that have happened in the capital recently, and of course, in the last two years, they have added a hobby, which is to listen to Mr. Storyteller read the content of Pravda.
Since the establishment of Pravda, it has been loved by the people at the bottom with its keen perspective and interest, it is not as dogmatic and high-minded as Confucianism, but very down-to-earth, and any short things in the family can be seen on it.
After several years of hard work, Pravda has expanded from four or five thousand to more than 20,000 copies per issue, which is already a very astonishing achievement, you must know that in this day and age, the illiteracy rate is very high, and there may not be a few people out of 100 people who can read.
Under such circumstances, it is already a miracle that Pravda can achieve more than 20,000 copies per issue.
"I want to know what happens next and listen to the next breakdown...... Syllable! ”
With the storyteller's clapper falling, today's storytelling is over.
After taking a sip of tea, the storyteller picked up a newspaper and raised it to everyone, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's the release date of Pravda today, here is a copy of the latest Pravda that has just been released, I don't know which section you want to hear?" ”
"Needless to say, of course it's the entertainment section, I just want to hear what the name of the newly baked Oiran of Qin Huaihe is, and why she was chosen as the latest Oiran of Qin Huaihe."
"Whoever wants to listen to this, I want to hear what has happened in the imperial court recently."
"I'm going to listen to defense intelligence and see where there is another war."
Everyone said their own opinions, and finally Mr. Storyteller shook his head: "Everyone, I think that the most exciting thing about this issue of the newspaper is nothing else, but an article written by the author named Xiao Yuer, and the name of this article is called On the Pros and Cons of the New Law in Jiangnan." ”
There was a pause in the tea room, and then there was an uproar.
"Wow, how dare this little fish write anything, isn't he afraid of being retaliated against by those rich people?"
"Who dares to bully Xiao Yu'er casually, haven't you noticed it, Xiao Yu'er is not a poor family at all, I listened to his tone at least from a rich family, so the reason why he dared to comment on the pros and cons of the new law is naturally his own confidence, otherwise how dare Pravda publish this article casually."
Everyone was talking around, and for a while the teahouse was very lively, and finally I don't know who slapped the table, "Enough, what is the noise, everyone listens to what this article says, and it is not too late to quarrel when you want to hear it." ”
After the storyteller coughed lightly twice, he began to read: "On the sixth day of the ninth month of the eighth year of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor finally issued a will to try out the integration of one errand and one grain in the south of the Yangtze River.
What is the integration of officials and gentry? To sum it up in one sentence, it is to exempt officials, gentry and even scholars from the privilege of not paying taxes, and from now on, everyone who has land in Jiangnan will have to pay taxes. ”
The opening sentence alone made the whole teahouse boil......
