Chapter 580: Escalation of conflict
It was very surprising that Li Xian was furious.
"I think our senior brother has always been a hanger, cynical, although talented, but the fame is not so heavy, and he is not greedy for enjoyment, in short, he is a very indifferent person, don't look at you as his junior brother, believe it or not, he will betray you!" Fu San drank white fungus and red date porridge, gulped down steamed buns, and his ruddy lips were soaked in a layer of oil, like stroking old mahogany for a long time, which was very beautiful.
Her appetite is getting better and better, and with it, her lower abdomen is becoming more and more bulging, and it seems that every day the little life is growing and expanding, and the momentum is very amazing.
Ye Hua became more and more sure that Xiao Nizi might be pregnant with twins.
In this era of underdeveloped medical care, giving birth to a child is a ghost gate, and the first birth is twins, and the risk is even more difficult to estimate.
Therefore, Ye Hua has always frowned inadvertently these days.
After Xiao Nizi finished speaking, she raised her head to ask for advice, Ye Hua paused for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What you see is the usual senior brother, the more you don't care about anything, the more intense the outbreak will be when you really touch the soft one." Senior brother's early experience made him very pessimistic about people, when a person, without hesitation, gave his life for him, the senior brother will definitely go crazy! ”
Fu San expressed his understanding, "Brother, according to what you say, Jiangnan must have a bloody storm?" ”
"Maybe!"
Ye Hua blurted out, and he was afraid of scaring Xiao Nizi, so he hurriedly made up for it: "Maybe not, it depends on what those literati think." We have done many things in Kaifeng, and those people should also know the means of Da Zhou, and if they are smart, they should know how to advance and retreat. As long as they can be honest, I can open the net, except for some of the leading, distribution of Annan, the rest I can guide them, gradually give up the land, and devote themselves to industry and commerce, in short, I am full of confidence! ”
Fu San listened with her head borrowed, she didn't say anything, but she was quite unimpressed in her heart.
It's really a child to coax people!
After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains experienced the Liang, Tang, Jin, Han, and Five dynasties, during which the Khitan entered the Kou, killing the sky in the dark, messy, and the power of the literati has declined to the extreme.
The gentry who used to control the place have also turned into inferior gentry, with many thugs, rampant and domineering, without scruples. The common people hated these people to the bone, and when the Great Zhou Dynasty implemented Juntian, the common people were on the side of the imperial court, so they could sweep away the leaves in the autumn wind.
The situation in Jiangnan is very different from that in the Central Plains.
The Southern Tang Dynasty maintained peace and prosperity for at least several decades, and when it came to economic strength, it once surpassed the Central Plains. Coupled with the courtesy of scholars, Jiangnan has become a paradise for scribes and a paradise.
Therefore, Jiangnan still retains a lot of good gentry, who rely on the power of the clan and have a strong appeal in the local area.
What is even more interesting is that Li Hongji did not deal with the land issue, but rashly encouraged industrial and commercial development, and in the cities where businessmen gathered, raw materials, agricultural products, capital, and labor were extracted from the countryside, and the peasants were swept by the wave of commoditization, and there was no room for bargaining at all for the little grain and raw silk they produced.
Therefore, many peasants sought the refuge of the gentry, gathered around the landlords, and gained the power to bargain with the merchants by keeping warm by huddles.
It's a bit complicated to say, just take an example, find a village, at the request of the imperial court, change to plant mulberry seedlings, produce raw silk, if each common person goes to negotiate with the merchant alone, they can't sell the price, on the other hand, to plant mulberry seedlings, need to buy grain, they have to buy high-priced grain, life is not only not better, but worse.
What will the people do at this time?
They can only rely on the clan, rely on the power of the gentry, to bargain with the merchants, to ship collectively, and to purchase grain collectively.
All in all, in a word, the gentry in Jiangnan are far more powerful than they imagined!
The gentry actually don't care about changing the dynasty, Li Hongji is doing very badly, if the Great Zhou can take care of the gentry a little, they don't care about the life or death of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but if the Great Zhou wants to implement the Central Plains in the south of the Yangtze River, then the only way to do it is to tear the skin and never die!
It was a very dangerous fight, and Fu San was really worried about her husband.
But she is very smart, since her husband doesn't want to admit it, she doesn't need to find it, she can only prepare secretly. No matter what the means, in short, grain and grass materials are indispensable.
Fu San secretly gave an order to his trading house, wrote a letter to his father who was far away in Kaifeng, and went all out to win this battle!
……
"It's over, it's too much!"
Xu Xuan, Chen Qiao, plus Han Xizai, the three of them sat in Wei Renpu's duty room, and Xu Xuan fired directly.
"Wei Xianggong, who gave Li Shi the power? More than 100 scholars, he actually ordered to beat people, the skin was open, blood flowed everywhere, some people's arms were broken, and the bones were exposed, which was miserable! It's just Sven sweeping the floor, Sven sweeping the floor! ”
Wei Renpu was silent, amused in his heart.
What is this, isn't it more than a hundred scholars?
At the time of Kaifeng, more than 100 officials, all of whom were born as Jinshi, were beaten the same! I haven't seen anything either, the literati in Jiangnan are really hard to serve!
Chen Qiao coughed lightly, "Master Xu, this matter should be listened to at the same time. The scholars stormed the government office, which was not in accordance with the rules, and it was reasonable to deal with them at the beginning of the school year. It's just that the means are too much, lest it will arouse greater anger, and once the scholars make trouble, it will be difficult to clean up. ”
Wei Renpu smiled, "Chen Xianggong, what do you think, how to clean it up?" ”
Chen Qiao said thoughtfully: "Wei Xianggong, in my opinion, we should start from the source, this time the matter originated from the raid of the Confucian Mansion, I see it this way, the imperial court pursues Juntian and suppresses the family, I agree with all of this, and they should be done." It's just that there can be an exception, after all, the Kong family is still different from other families, right? ”
Before Wei Renpu could speak, Han Xizai snorted, "The laws and regulations are strict, and there is no loophole!" If the Kong family can be an exception, then the royal family can be an exception! The clan can make exceptions, why can't the court officials be exceptions? If this continues, everyone has become an exception, what do you need the decree of the imperial court for? Is it just bullying the common people? ”
"It's over, it's over!" Xu Xuan said again: "If you can't punish a doctor, you can't be a courtesy." What's more, it's just a special case of the Kong family, it doesn't matter! ”
"It doesn't matter, you're a Hanlin Bachelor, what are you complaining about here?"
In a word, Xu Xuan was immediately dumbfounded, like a fat duck stuck in his neck, his old face was red, and his neck was almost thicker than his head.
Li Xian took a big stride, with a murderous aura, strutted from the outside and walked in!
He didn't look at these people, and bowed directly to Wei Renpu and said, "The lower official was ordered to raid the Kong family and come to restore his life!" ”
Wei Renpu smiled hurriedly, "Hard work, Mr. Li, please sit down, come here, serve tea!" ”
"Not necessarily!"
Li Xian said: "Xiaguan is checking the property of the Confucian Mansion, and there are people who often come and go, and Xiaguan suspects that this Kong Renda is not the real descendant of Confucius." As early as the time of the first emperor, Wang Xianggong, Wei Xianggong, and the champion Hou have already checked, Kong Mo slaughtered all the descendants of the Kong family, and the saint has been extinct, this is the matter of the first emperor's final decision! The Yan Shenggong in Jiangnan is just sealed by Li Hongji, and my Da Zhou has never admitted it! ”
Li Xi glanced at Xu Xuan and Chen Qiao, and sneered at them.
"Wei Xianggong, the way to govern the country, the first emperor, Your Majesty is tireless, how many times have you said it. If you are still bewitched by some people, it is tantamount to asking for blindness and repeating the mistakes of the past! ”
Li Xian arched his hand, "The words are not good, I will leave!" ”
He turned around and left, but his eight words were like eight flying knives, stabbing Xu Xuan and Chen Qiao.
What does it mean to ask the blind question?
You assisted Li Hongji and finished the Southern Tang Dynasty, and if you listen to you again, do you have to pit the Great Zhou? Listening to you, you will only repeat the mistakes of the past, lose the country again, and there will be no good end!
Xu Xuan and Chen Qiao, there is no need to talk about that embarrassment.
Xu Xuan's eyebrows were angry, his eyes were spewing fire, he took off his black gauze hat suddenly, held it in his hand, and said sadly: "Xianggong Wei, although I am a subordinate, I dare to say that if Li Hongji can listen to me, the Southern Tang Dynasty will not fall so quickly!" Since Da Zhou still treats us as outsiders, I can only hang up the crown and beg to go! ”
Chen Qiao also immediately took off the black yarn and said that he would advance and retreat with Xu Xuan.
Wei Renpu looked at them, sighed deeply, and got up to put the black gauze hat back on the heads of the two people.
"Alas, Li Shi is a student of Master Feng, the senior brother of the champion Hou, and he has Li Tang blood in his body, and the old man can't say anything about him. But you are the courtiers of the Great Zhou, Your Majesty trusts you, the old man relies on you, you are all bearded people, don't play with children's temper. ”
Wei Renpu saw that the two of them were still a little awkward, and he continued to persuade: "You two are both great talents, can you still see that the Kong family was pushed out to sacrifice the flag!" ”
Xu Xuan and Chen Qiao glanced at each other, and suddenly sweat broke out on their foreheads.
"What does Wei Xianggong mean?"
Wei Renpu shook his head slightly, "There are still people who are unwilling!" ”
Rumble!
A bolt from the blue!
This frightened Xu Xuan and Chen Qiao, and they hurriedly bowed down, "Wei Xianggong, we have no intention of restoring chaos, the sky can learn from it!" If we betray Da Zhou, I will not be willing to die! ”
The two of them swore and swore a curse, wept bitterly, and never had the idea of betraying Da Zhou.
Wei Renpu said: "In terms of governing the country, there may be disagreements, but we must not be used by gangsters and become a gun in the hands of others!" ”
Xu Xuan and Chen Qiao nodded vigorously, and Han Xizai said: "Master Xu, you are a direct minister, Chen Xianggong is a cadre, when it comes to doing things, you are all very good, but have you ever thought about it, why can't you fight Song Qiqiu and Feng Yanji and others?" Just because you are gentlemen, people are villains! ”
Xu Xuan lowered his head in shame, "If I am a gentleman, I am also the most confused gentleman!" ”
His words made the big guys laugh.
At this time, someone suddenly came to send a letter, saying that in Jinling City, the major academies, and many scholars who traveled to study moved one after another, and they ran to call for tens of thousands of words of blood letters, admonishing the imperial court, pro-virtuous and far-reaching, and reusing scholars!
Lao Wei's eyes lit up, "The renovation of the pattern is really getting more and more interesting." ”
