Wang Hua, the first assistant of the cabinet, took off the Liang crown and put it in the hands of the maid, but he didn't let the maid take off her official uniform, so he sat on the chair and rubbed his temples, and only asked Xue Fengming, who was still standing in front of him: "Yanqing, why don't you say that you are a teacher first!" ”

Wang Hua shook his head as he spoke, he thought that his student Xue Fengming was just talking about things and proposing some ways to improve the real side of immigration, after all, he also felt that because the imperial court advocated immigration, the officials below would inevitably only care about the good of the above, and did not take into account the feelings of the people below.

However, what Wang Hua didn't expect was that the purpose of Xue Fengming's dedication of the "Diagram of the Wandering People" to himself and through his own audience with the emperor was not to propose improvements to the immigrant Shibian, but to use this matter to impeach Zhang Xuan, everyone knew that Zhang Xuan was a close confidant of His Majesty, and this move was undoubtedly angering His Majesty.

Wang Hua was naturally angry because of this, not to mention that he seemed to be being used by his own students.

"The student has long put life and death aside, he Zhang Xuan only knows that he is His Majesty's eagle dog, regardless of the safety of the country, the society, if he does not impeach first, it will only be a big disaster for me in the future!

And now because he Zhang Xuan and other generations have immigrated to Shibian, resulting in the loss of people in the Guannai, barren land, and clan disintegration, he Zhang Xuan will not get rid of it, and in the future, he will only let more villains immigrate to Shibian. ”

Xue Fengming said more bluntly in front of Wang Hua.

"Do you mean that the imperial court's policy of immigration?" Wang Hua asked in some surprise.

"Exactly, students think that immigration is a bad government!" Xue Fengming replied without hesitation.

"What's wrong with immigration! The border towns have always been plundered by the Tatars, and the original reason is that there are few Han people in the border towns and many Hu people! Moreover, there are many ownerless fields in border towns, and in recent years, due to the merger of the powerful and gentry, the number of displaced people has increased. ”

Wang Hua asked excitedly.

"But now not only the displaced people have moved to the border, but also a large number of tenants! As a result, the land rent has been greatly reduced, how can the world's powerful gentry support themselves! Xue Fengming also continued to ask rhetorically.

"That's not because some powerful gentry exploited the people too much, if they are willing to reduce rent and interest, who is willing to leave their homeland! Naturally, if you go to the border town, you can live better, and the people will be willing to abandon their relatives and settle down in another country!

The old man knows that your family is a big family in Suzhou, and the old man Wang's family is also a big family in Zhejiang, and there is also a loss of tenants and a barren land, but we can put forward these and find ways to solve them, instead of denying the real policy of immigration! The people's hearts are like water, it is better to be sparse than blocked, don't you understand, even if you don't immigrate to the real border, do you think the people will not flee?! ”

It was the first time for Wang Hua to talk to others excitedly, but it was also because Xue Fengming was his own student that he could be so excited.

"Enshi is a shareholder of the Royal Bank, and invests in major business groups, and the annual dividend is no less than 100,000 taels of silver, everyone knows that your royal family has long been not counting on land rent to live, you naturally don't care about the loss of tenants, the reduction of land rent, not only you, the cabinet and Jiuqing, but also most of the people who shared the world's imperial profits because of following His Majesty, you are naturally with His Majesty the Emperor!

It is precisely because of this that you do not oppose Your Majesty, so that the immigration of the real border, the opening of the sea, the ban of road guidance and other policies to the world, the teacher and the princes of the court have long been no longer from our Shilin, you are just the emperor's eagle dog ears!

And we are scholars, learning Confucius and Mencius, reading scriptures, but there is no opportunity to display ambitions, Rao is a jinshi, and can only be a petty official, want to get a high position, but also have to abandon Confucianism, Xi Baijia, but this is the villain's move, the righteous gentleman, who is willing to abandon the right path to follow it! Now, the teacher only knows how to blindly obey the Son of Heaven, and help the Son of Heaven to establish the National Academy of Administration, and also take Zhang Xuan as the right attendant of the Ministry of Officials. The ears of Zhang Xuan! ”

Xue Fengming continued to answer bluntly, and also answered his true purpose, that is, he impeached Zhang Xuan and could not tolerate Zhang Xuan, because Zhang Xuan wanted to teach at the National Academy of Administration, and everyone knew that the National Academy of Administration would definitely be a place to train high-ranking officials in the empire in the future, which means that the high-ranking officials who will hold the authority of the empire in the future will all be heavenly eagle dogs like Zhang Xuan, and it is precisely because of this that a civil official like Xue Fengming, who believes in Confucianism, cannot tolerate this incident.

"Are you scolding you for being a teacher?!"

Wang Hua stood up, trembling his mouth, and pointed at Xue Fengming and asked.

He was both sad and angry at this time, sad that his student did not understand himself and the painstaking work of the imperial court, and that although he was upright and fearful, he only cared about the interests of the family and could not see the interests of the country.

Wang Hua admitted that because his son Wang Yun (Wang Yangming) took the initiative to take out all his property to support His Majesty the Emperor, so that his Wang family became the major shareholder of the Royal Bank in a daze, and finally because His Majesty formulated a covenant, although his Wang family shared huge profits, they could not buy land in the Guan, and could only buy and even invest outside the Guan.

However, because of the opening of border trade and the reopening of sea trade, his Wang family earned the most because of his early participation, although he did not directly do business, he could also get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver every year from the Royal Bank and the recently opened Imperial Stock Exchange.

But it's not that I don't care about the reduction of land rent and the loss of tenants, my Wang family, as a big family in Zhejiang, has tens of thousands of acres of land, and there are countless tenants, because of the reduction of land rent and the loss of tenants, the income of other relatives of the Wang family has to be helped by their own big house, and the silver received is not less than 100,000 taels!

After all, the people of his Wang family have always been used to a good life, and as the head of the Wang family, he naturally can't be said behind his back that he, the head of the cabinet, has not been a good person, so that the life of the people of the Wang family is getting worse and worse.

But Wang Hua also knows that this is not a long-term solution, even if he has hundreds of thousands of taels of silver income every year, he can't support several generations of other ethnic groups in the Wang family, for example, the rich and noble court will also worry about the huge expenditure of the vassal king, according to the latest statistics bureau prediction, within two hundred years, the imperial court will not be able to support these royal relatives at all, let alone his royal family.

But Wang Hua did not want to deny the immigration of the real border strategy, because he knew that after immigrating to the real border, the Ming Dynasty not only could not worry about the displaced people messing up the interior and spending money on the military expenses, but could use these people to open fields and mines in the border towns to increase the income of money and grain, and also attract a large number of Hu people to make a living.

Otherwise, Wang Qiong would not have proposed the development of Liaodong recently.

In other words, Wang Hua did not attribute the loss of tenants and the barrenness of land in the Guannei to the fact of immigration, but he was indeed thinking about how to solve this problem, but what he didn't expect was that his students did not understand themselves, but regarded themselves as villains and villains who were bought by His Majesty!

But I never felt that His Majesty was trading with me with any interests, and everything that my royal family got was taken by my own royal family, and besides, is it wrong for a minister to be diligent in the king's affairs, to set up a life for the people, and to open peace to all generations? !
