Chapter 53: Thoughts and Ideas

"Get him to the capital, don't kidnap him!" Zhu Yijun looked at Xu De and said.

"Back to the emperor, the slave understands!" Xu De hurriedly agreed.

In fact, Zhu Yijun wanted to meet Li Zhen and listen to his thoughts, just like when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty listened to Dong Zhongshu's ideas and deposed the hundred schools of thought to respect Confucianism. Confucianism has a lot to offer, but science is much worse.

Zhu Yijun wants to see Li Zhen's thoughts, firstly, he is mentally learned, and secondly, his thoughts have a clear germ of capitalism.

From beginning to end, Zhu Yijun felt that if he wanted to change a country or a nation, he definitely did not change from the system, but from the ideology. In the history of the world after the end of the Ming Dynasty, Cheng Zhu Lixue is obviously out of date.

The Ming Dynasty needs a more aggressive culture and a more profit-seeking faith.

The ideas of Li Zhen and the Taishan School can basically meet Zhu Yijun's needs, and there may be some places that are inappropriate, but it doesn't matter, they can be corrected. Coupled with the fact that there is a stagnant water in the current officialdom, something new also needs to come out.

Reform, how can there be no ideological reform, how can there be no collision of ideas.

It's just that as an emperor, Zhu Yijun can't have too deep exchanges with Li Zhen for the time being. However, Zhu Yijun is willing to give Li Zhen a chance, if his idea can really be used for himself, then give it a try.

Even if it finally develops into a **** thought, Zhu Yijun thinks that it is much better than the current situation.

arranged Li Zhen's affairs, and Zhu Yijun was ready to meet Chen Lan, the general who he had kidnapped from Hangzhou.

Hejian Mansion, the gate of the Qian family.

These days, the Qian family has been in a state of panic because they find themselves cut off from the outside world. The outside is full of people from Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and they can't get out at all.

No news from outside could come in, and no one knew what was going on.

On this day, the door of the Qian family was smashed open, and countless people rushed in and began to arrest people and raid their homes.

Zhang Whale stood at the door holding a string of rosaries in his hand, rubbed the rosary in his hand expressionlessly, glanced at Qian Biao who was pressed beside him, and said lightly: "This is your Qian family, but from today onwards, it will be gone." ”

Qian Biao turned his head and glared at Zhang Whale angrily, and scolded: "Eunuch Quan, you can't die well." ”

Seeing that someone put Qian Biao's mouth on the ground, Zhang Whale shook his head with a smile: "Buddhists all talk about cause and effect, what cause is sown, what effect is gained, what do you Qian family do, do you still use our family to say?" Do you know why our family is talking to you? ”

Qian Biao stared at Zhang Whale angrily, his eyes were very big, as if he wanted to bite Zhang Whale to death.

"Because our family is bored, our family has actually been very curious about one thing, like your Qian family, who made so much silver, and then was raided, you can tell it yourself, don't you regret it?"

"Is it that hard to do things well? Your Qian family wants money and money, and you want people, and you can be regarded as one of the best in Hejian Mansion, right? ”

"Why do you have to sell smuggled salt? The human heart is insufficient! Zhang Whale shook the rosary in his hand: "Our family is different from you, our family knows contentment, you see, our family's things will not be moved." ”

"That's not our family, of course, it's not your Qian family's, it's Your Majesty's."

Zhang Whale is obviously a cautious eunuch, and he doesn't forget to be angry at this time. But soon he felt bored, and glanced back at Sun Piyang and the others not far away, with a smile on his face.

"Lord Sun, this time the big break of the Hejian Mansion private salt case is really a great contribution."

"Our family is here to congratulate Master Sun first, after returning to Beijing this time, we will definitely be able to take a step higher." After saying this, Zhang Whale also smiled and arched his hand to Sun Piyang, with a smile on his face.

Zhang Whale's voice was not small, and after this sound, many people looked at Sun Piyang.

Regarding Zhang Whale's words, although Sun Piyang was expressionless, he could only smile bitterly in his heart. Is it your own credit? From the beginning to the end, I didn't do anything, everything seemed to be arranged.

"Lord Sun, the blood of Hejian Mansion is the official road for you, you go up and slip carefully!"

At this time, an angry roar suddenly came from the Qian family's side, the voice was hoarse and full of resentment.

"Tsk, that's really ugly, come on, slap your mouth!" Zhang Whale stood aside and spoke.

Soon there was a crackling sound of applause, and Sun Piyang finally showed bitterness, turned his head to look at Zhang Whale, and said, "Father-in-law Zhang, this official is not feeling well, so I will leave first." With that, he turned around and left.

In fact, Sun Piyang knew that after this incident, he might really be notorious.

The gentry must empathize with the experience of the Qian family, who has not seen any shady business in these years, but everyone is a Confucian disciple, and they should look at it for the sake of face. Now that the Qian family has ended up like this, his estimation is about to be on par with Lai Junchen.

Sun Piyang had already made up his mind at this time, and he would resign after returning to Beijing this time.

If he is promoted to an official by the emperor after he goes back, then he will not be able to explain it clearly, and this official is saying that he can't go down now. Listening to the crying of the Qian family's woman behind him, Sun Piyang's footsteps became heavier and heavier.

The opposite of Sun Piyang was Cao Yikui, at this time Cao Yikui stood there expressionlessly, watching the Qian family being raided.

Zhang Whale glanced at Cao Yikui, but he didn't expect Cao Yikui to speak first: "Father-in-law Zhang, you'd better look at your people, if you let the official know what illegal things they did in the process of raiding the house, the official will definitely impeach you." ”

After saying this, Cao Yikui also turned around and left, still with no expression on his face.

Wang Yongji followed behind Cao Yikui and said a little melancholy: "Is it too miserable for the Qian family to be like this?" Are we pleading with the imperial court? ”

"There are a total of 16 homicide cases involving the Qian family, and more than 40 other large and small cases, which in my opinion is already the emperor's mercy. This official will write to the emperor, and anyone involved in a murder case will be beheaded on the spot. ”

Cao Yikui glanced at Wang Yongji and said, "If you can't be ruthless, follow me to the fifty-six bitter masters' houses to have a look." ”

"Look at his life, look at what they have suffered, Daming is that there are too many Qian families, and the people can't live. If you don't let the Qian family can't live, then the people can't live, if you have to choose one of the two, the official chooses the people. ”

"This official was born in poverty since he was a child, and he knows the hardships of the people, and he also knows the difficulties of the people's lives. All day long, flies camp dogs, oppress the people, they deserve to die. ”

Wang Yongji looked at Cao Yikui, silently, raised his head for a long time and said, "Give me your recital after writing, and I will also sign it." ”

The raids and arrests of people in Hejian Mansion were carried out in an orderly manner, and the heads were cut off outside the city every day, and for a time the Hejian Mansion was filled with blood.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Yijun looked at Chen Luan, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Get up!" ”

Chen Lan stood up from the ground and stood respectfully to the side, not daring to move.

After looking Chen Ling up and down, Zhu Yijun found that he was now in his thirties, and he looked a little elegant wearing a long shirt on his body. Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "It looks good, it's like a Confucian general." ”

"I have seen many generals of the Ming Dynasty, and there are many who can fight, Yu Dayou, Ma Fang, I have seen all these people, but they are all old."

"I just wanted to look and see if Daming was young and could still fight, and then I saw you. Let people check, but you were dismissed because of greed for money, so I asked Dongchang to find you. ”

"Do you know why I didn't issue an edict announcing your entry into Beijing?"

Chen Lan shook his head: "The sinner doesn't know!" ”

Zhu Yijun glanced at Chen Lan, who claimed to be a criminal minister, and suddenly smiled, he was still a very interesting person: "Because I feel ashamed, the dignified general soldier actually has to rely on blackmailing subordinates and embezzling food and salary to make money, I feel shameless." ”

"Shame on you!" Chen Lan hurriedly bowed down and said, he never thought that he was tied up because of this.

"You should feel ashamed, not only your people, but also my people, but I don't understand one thing, you pacified Dong'an at that time, and you should have a lot of money in your hands, why do you want to blackmail your subordinates?"

"What do you think about those people who followed you from birth to death, but you extorted their money? If you rob the natives or something, I can still understand it, you come and talk to me, I am really curious. ”

Chen Lan raised his head and looked at Zhu Yijun, and said after a while: "Your Majesty, that is actually the grain, grass and soldier salaries that have been greedy." ”

"What do the natives have to grab? They eat wild fruits all day long, and the ministers go down with their men to rob them of wild fruits? The food and rewards issued by the court were greedy, and the soldiers had no choice but to mutiny. ”

"The minister was also young at the time, so he couldn't restrain his subordinates and let them rob things."

Zhu Yijun smiled, this is the legendary "arson and food grabbing", right?

"Your Majesty, there are a lot of such things in the army, usually the food and salary of the court go to the hands of the ministers, and only forty percent is left, and the remaining sixty percent is stripped away layer by layer. The reward of the imperial court is also, if you meet a good one, you can get forty percent, and sometimes you can't even get forty percent. ”

"In letting the generals share some profits, the soldiers below get less."

"There is no reward for winning, there will be punishment for losing, many thousands of households feel that it is boring to fight, it is better not to fight, there are no casualties if you don't fight, anyway, there are not many rewards, and there will be punishments if you lose, so don't fight."

Chen Lan can't take care of it anymore, he has been aggrieved for so long, anyway, the emperor called him, he can't kill himself just because he said this, right? It's a big deal to drive yourself back.

Zhu Yijun looked at Chen Luan, his mood was very complicated, he could understand the thoughts of these people, there were still dead people in the war, they had not been captured, and then there was no reward, and if they lost, they would be punished, so what to fight. These people are not those warriors who have ideals and know how to fight for their country, and these are all false to them.

In this era, it is important to be a soldier and eat food, and many people will stop their heads from their belts to join the army because they can't afford to eat.
