Chapter 332 Scholars Only Have Spirit

"It's just what Mr. Fang Cai said about Leng Ziqiang."

Leng Ziqiang's face was still a ball of harmony, and the smile on his face was not less than the slightest, but the people around him all took a breath of cold air.

Unlike ordinary nouveau riche, Leng Ziqiang is very low-key, although his family is half the city, not many people have really seen him. Chen Anping looked Leng Ziqiang up and down, and after a while, he said: "If you know the principle of competition, you must know some wisdom, but it's a pity that you only know one but don't know the other." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Leng Ziqiang said with a smile.

"If you let the competition go, it is what you said about the weak eating the strong, the greed of the strong cannot be controlled, the result is that the weak will be eaten up, and then the strong will devour each other, the so-called lack of human hearts snake swallows elephant, what is the result of the snake swallowing the elephant, Leng Dongjia wants to know, right?"

"What result?" Leng Ziqiang couldn't help but ask again.

"Bang!" Chen Anping imitated the sound of the explosion: "The result is to strangle yourself to death." ”

Leng Ziqiang racked his brains and was thinking about how to refute it, Chen Anping continued: "Therefore, the so-called competition is definitely not a laissez-faire, but a controlled competition, how to control it? That is the principles of heaven, justice, and people's hearts! ”

"The so-called Heavenly Principle, that is the way of heaven, the way of heaven, the way of heaven, the loss of more than enough to make up for the deficiency. People who have more than enough money like Leng Dongjia should assume more social responsibilities and give back to the people with more benefits as stated in the edict of the Son of Heaven. A character like Leng Dongjia, even if it is just a little bit leaking between his fingers, it is enough for many people to be grateful to Dade! ”

"The so-called justice is the clear discussion of public opinion, and it is courtesy, righteousness and shame. A gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way, and this is not only not illegal, but also fishing without exhausting the water, and not burning the forest and the field, and he must leave three points of leeway for himself. Leng Dongjia, if everyone who sees you smiles in front of them, but they all kill your backbone behind your back, saying that all your money is earned by bullying the widow and orphan, you are rich and rival the country, what is the use? ”

"The so-called people's hearts are people's hearts, which is more related to the interests of the Leng Dongjia. For the sake of wealth and not benevolence, how can there be a long-term one, that is, the national law does not sanction, and the people know that there are no people with lofty ideals, and they follow the actions of the people who want to leave, and they hit angrily, bleeding three feet, and the cold owner gives hundreds of millions of family fortunes to be afraid that it is impossible to prevent it. Besides, it is better to bully the old than to bully the young, the Leng Dongjia is proud of the spring breeze at this time, and I know that those who are bullied by the Leng Dongjia will not have one or two members in the future, and the day of the Leng Dongjia's liquidation? ”

Chen Anping was good at martial arts when he was young, he liked the actions of a ranger, and when he was too learning, he debated with others, and often won in his mouth and fists and feet, so when he said this, he was not only aggressive, but also aggressive, and at the same time that Leng Ziqiang racked his brains, he also heard the surrounding crowd shouting in unison. It is necessary to know that people in the world are inevitably hating the rich and hating the poor, not to mention that people like Leng Ziqiang are excessively demanding, which even arouses the common hatred of the surrounding people. Although Leng Ziqiang is also a wise person, facing a pair of angry eyes, he can't help but feel a slight chill in his heart.

After a while, he sneered: "It's just a lie." The Holy Son of Heaven is above, who dares to take me in this bright and blue sky? ”

Chen Anping stared at him for a long time, smiling without saying a word.

When it came to this, the two refused to give in to each other, so they had to turn around. Back in his car, the smile on Leng Ziqiang's face became reluctant, and he explained to Hu Fulang: "Ignorant scholar, don't take it to heart. ”

Hu Fulang was a little unrelenting, Chen Anping's words made him still sweat coldly, his glory and wealth were all built on Zhao Heju's body, Zhao and Ju promoted innovation, and the goal to achieve was obviously not only to make people like Leng Ziqiang rich, but to ignore the lives of ordinary people. On the contrary, in his conversation with Zhao and Ju, Zhao and Ju said more than once that he wanted to turn ordinary people into a group that could also live with dignity and dignity, and this group would be the cornerstone of the Great Song Dynasty.

Leng Ziqiang's actions are obviously cutting off from this group, and he represents the interests of a group of people who have used the resources in their hands to get rich first in these nine years of innovation. Zhao Heju has so many properties in his hands, it stands to reason that he is a royal wealth and can enjoy all kinds of privileges, but Zhao and Ju not only instructed him and Meng Xisheng to pay taxes and fees honestly, but also took out a part of the money to do some charitable things every year - even the Son of Heaven is still like this, how can he Leng Ziqiang dare to say that his actions are in line with heavenly reason, fairness, and people's hearts?

He actually wanted to put his son in the hands of such a person......

With Hu Fulang's understanding of Zhao and Ju, Zhao and Ju will not indulge Leng Ziqiang because he is his own brother Zhao and Rui behind him, although Zhao and Ju do love Zhao and Rui very much and take care of them in all aspects, but in the overall situation, he is afraid that he will not connive. Even if Zhao and Rui are not held responsible, then Leng Ziqiang will have to be charged with "instigating the prince's ill intentions".

"Leng Dongjia, the dog's matter, I don't dare to bother Leng Dongjia." Thinking of this, Hu Fulang glanced at Leng Ziqiang and said slowly.

"Huh?" Leng Ziqiang is also a human spirit, Hu Fulang suddenly changed his hexagram, obviously related to the scholar Fang Cai, he was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Don't worry, Hu Dongzhu, it's just a mere scholar, I have my own way to clean it up, it just so happens that Mao Yuzhi is coming, I ask him to publish more articles in the newspaper to advocate it, so naturally I can cover up the scholar's angry words." ”

Hu Fulang heard Mao Yu's name, and his face twitched again. He had also heard of this name, when he was in Lin'an, once Zhao Heju instructed him to do things, he scolded this person in front of him for being incorruptible and shameless, and behind this person was a group of emerging rich people like Leng Ziqiang, who had always spared no effort to advocate for these people in the newspaper, but he won a great reputation for himself. The Son of Heaven hated people, he didn't dare to get involved with it, he glanced at Leng Ziqiang, shook his head with a wry smile: "Leng Dongjia, you are kind, I will say a word...... That's Chen Anping, you can send someone to Lin'an University to inquire about him. ”

Speaking of this, he shut up, Leng Ziqiang wondered in his heart, Chen Anping is just a stinky scholar, although he can teach at Jinling University, it is worth his high look, but what is there to be afraid of such an imperial businessman as Hu Fulang, unless he ......

As soon as he counted his age, he couldn't help but be awe-inspiring in his heart: "That guy is a protégé of the Hidden Mansion?" ”

Zhao and Ju have a group of hundreds of disciples in the hands of the Qiandi, now it is a well-known secret, this group of people is Zhao and Ju personally cultivated, proficient in wisdom, and they have cultivated a large number of students in Liuqiu, and over the years, there are more than 10,000 students in the mainland who are studying in Liuqiu, and these people have formed an intricate and huge network of relationships. However, the most noteworthy of them are those protégés of the Hidden Mansion, who are loyal to the Son of Heaven and are extremely trusted by the Son of Heaven, and the best of them even became the squire of the Six Divisions.

"Not really." Hu Fulang only said four words, then shut up, halfway through the car, he stopped, and then left in a hurry by himself. Looking at his back, Leng Ziqiang couldn't help but sneer, this Hu Fulang holds nearly one-third of the Son of Heaven's private treasury in his hands, and the amount is said to be more than the annual income of the imperial court, and he is a cronie before the Son of Heaven has made a career, but his courage is so small!

As long as he is not a protégé of the Hidden Mansion, Leng Ziqiang is not worried about that Chen Anping, he is the protégé of the Hidden Mansion, he is not saying that he has no fighting power, the King Rong behind him is the younger brother of the Son of Heaven! To put it mildly, the Son of Heaven is not heavy now, if the two princes today have three long and two short, then the one who inherits the position of the Son of Heaven is likely to be the bloodline of King Rong!

Thinking of this, Leng Ziqiang's originally somewhat worried heart calmed down. However, for Chen Anping, he is still ready to send someone to investigate, know himself and the enemy, so that he can not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Just when Leng Ziqiang was preparing to deal with Chen Anping, Chen Anping was not idle, he had his way and way.

Chen Anping has been thinking about this question since he read Zhang Duanyi's serialized "Iron House" in the newspaper, and it has been more than eight years since the Son of Heaven implemented the reform, and in the first six years, it can almost be said that it has been smooth sailing, and the generosity of the Son of Heaven and the wisdom of the policy have fully unleashed the enthusiasm of the people, and everyone - whether it is those businessmen with a keen sense of smell, or the unemployed people in the city, and even the officials in the court, have benefited from the innovation. Not only has incomes increased, but people's enjoyment has also improved dramatically, as is clear from a survey by Chen Anping, and the people of Lin'an City eat ten times more meat every year than before the revolution!

But in the past two years, the problems brought about by the innovation have also begun to appear, a large amount of wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few rich people, and they often have various forces behind them, or close relatives of the clan like Zhao and Rui, or important ministers of the court like the Xue family, and even Shi Miyuan's historians have also benefited a lot from the innovation, and their fortune is more or less related to the fact that they have political resources that ordinary people cannot access. Then there are the sharp-eyed big landowners, who use the original land as the principal and invest in new industries, and they are also rich one by one.

In the industries controlled by Zhao and Ju, the income of workers has been steadily increasing, and the relative welfare is also better, but no matter how much Zhao and Ju's industry is, it is impossible to cover the entire Great Song Dynasty, and those emerging rich people always feel that buying or researching technology is not as fast as increasing the exploitation of workers, and with the recovery of the Central Plains and Northeast China, a large number of laborers who are willing to sell themselves as slaves only need a full meal poured into the market, which made the new rich have objects to exploit, and extending working hours is only secondary, reducing workers' salaries, It is not uncommon to reduce workers' welfare, or even to the point of reducing the safety settings in the workplace, for example, in mines, the government has a clear text that mine production must pay attention to safety measures, but some people dare to dig a hole and drill into it!

As a result, the entire social structure of the Great Song Dynasty became a freak: the bureaucrats, scholars, doctors and the emerging rich people have changed from the initial contradictions and conflicts between each other to the current integration of honor and disgrace, becoming the top of the entire Great Song class; The small proprietors from Liuqiu and the clerks and workers in the industries under the control of Zhao and Ju relied on their technological leadership to make a more secure living, plus some skilled craftsmen, open-minded scholars, and the military dependents of the Guards, they formed an intermediate class; The rural poor, who made up the vast majority of the population of the Great Song Dynasty, the workers who were brutally oppressed by the new rich, and the unemployed poor in the cities, constituted the bottom of this society.

Chen Anping did not have a deeper understanding of this social structure at this time, he just felt that because the number of the top layer was small and the number of people at the bottom was numerous, and the wealth at the top was large and the wealth at the bottom was small, the gap between the rich and the poor in the Great Song Dynasty was unprecedentedly large. Although as the power of the middle class, under the direct or indirect control of Zhao and Ju, they have done some things to benefit the people at the bottom, but the appearance of a person at the top who is rich and unkind is enough to submerge dozens or hundreds of things that benefit the bottom. One is because people have always remembered grudges and not gratitude, jealousy is nature, and the other is because good things do not go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, many people who do good do not want to be famous, but those who create evil are famous.

"Is the world the world the world of the Son of Heaven's family? Is the affairs of the world the only thing that the Son of Heaven cares about? Chen Anping wrote in a letter to Deng Ruoshui: "The rich are excessively demanding and oppressive to the people, and the Son of Heaven loves the people, what can he do? In the long run, there will be something that cannot bear to speak, Chen involves Wu Guang, how can the ancestral dragon be forced to rise? ”

Even those who were as bold as Deng Ruoshui, after seeing these words, broke out in a cold sweat, and he did not publish the letter in the "Great Song Times Weekly" as Chen Anping said, but replied with a letter, warning Chen Anping to be cautious.

After receiving Deng Ruoshui's letter, Chen An's peace was still uneasy, he followed Zhao Jingyun to investigate in Sixiang, so there was a channel to play directly to Zhao and Ju, and when he saw that Deng Ruoshui couldn't do it, he simply attached a letter to Deng Ruoshui as it was, and played it directly to Zhao and Ju.

At this time, it was the first month of the eighth year of Yanhuang in the Great Song Dynasty, and Zhao Heju received the "New Year's gift" sent by Chen Anping.

In winter, the fireplace will be lit in the Boya Building, which is really better than the brazier, and it is not so troublesome to go to the kang cross-legged. The fire shone on Zhao Heju's face, his ruddy face flickered because of the words on the fold, and fine beads of sweat seeped out of his forehead.

Xie Daoqing stared at the face of the Son of Heaven, among the concubines, she was not favored, if it weren't for the late Empress Dowager Yang's insistence, she wouldn't even have the possibility of becoming a concubine. This made her cautious in her words and deeds in the harem, and she was originally generous and knowledgeable, so after the death of Empress Dowager Yang, Zhao Youju treated her better. What she likes to watch the most is the kind of focused look when Zhao and Ju review the folds, at this time, Zhao and Ju are not showing the usual depth, on the contrary, sometimes he will be like a child, laughing because of the good things on the folds, or angry because of the bad news on the folds.

Zhao and Ju are now reading this fold Xie Daoqing knew that it was written by a scholar named Chen Anping, who was originally a student who followed Zhao Jingyun, so he knew how to hand a special fold to the Son of Heaven, but after this fold was handed over, it still caused a lot of panic, which accused the innovation of the possibility of forcing the people of the world to learn the sentences of Chen Sheng and Wu Guang, so that the bachelor of Boya Building, who was responsible for Zhao and Ju Zhen's farewell, was very hesitant to submit it to the imperial review.

In the end, he asked Xie Daoqing, but Xie Daoqing didn't dare to hide it, so he submitted it. I am afraid that it will ruin the good mood of the Son of Heaven, and I only dare to mix it in a pile of music when I deal with some less important government affairs after lunch.

"How will the officials react?" Xie Daoqing thought to himself.
