Chapter 149: The Man Who Compares Himself to the King

It is the right truth to do things according to the law, and if there is no law to restrain anything, then it will not be long before he fights hard to get out of order. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

Why is there no chaos in Qingzhou Mansion now, or because the people are afraid of him, and the merchants are afraid of him, so he is honest, once a long time passes, or he suffers a few defeats in the battle with the imperial court, then this fear will gradually disappear, and finally disappear completely, at that time, he doesn't dare to think about what will happen.

To govern the people, there must be a law, and if there is a law, we must popularize the law, and if we have the wisdom of the people, we need to open up the wisdom of the people, and if we open the wisdom of the people, we must let them understand the law in order to govern well, and if they understand the law, we need to do the work of popularizing the law, and you need a large number of people who understand the law.

However, if you want to open up the wisdom of the people, you must first have people who can open the wisdom of the people, and if you want to popularize the law, you must first have people who can understand the law, so where do the people who understand the law come from?

This person in front of you is a good fit!

Although Liu Zheng is suspicious, this person is bold, no matter whether the bait you sent is hidden in the poison, he dares to eat it, otherwise in his previous life, he would not risk going to prison because of a little profit and become a counterfeiter.

"Brother Zizheng, if you are the one who assists Liu Zheng, what will you do in the current situation?"

Mu Ying was already drunk, otherwise he wouldn't have flipped the table, and drunk people wouldn't have any scruples at all, and when he heard Liu Zheng ask him, he opened his mouth and came.

"Brother Zheng is going to be admitted to school? Ha ha! What's so hard about that? If I am the person who assists Liu Zheng, I must first revise the law, but this law is not a simple repair, the law needs to be separated, a military law, a civil law, let's not talk about the military law first, let's talk about this civil law first, the civil law can not just simply copy the law, but the repair of different people and local conditions, such as the civil law is further refined into civil law, the law of business, the law of cultivation and so on! ”

"Take the example I gave before, since the new court has to show new things, such as all the land is owned by the imperial court, the people are not allowed to reclaim the wasteland privately, and the wasteland reclamation must be organized by the government to be reclaimed by the people, which is much better than the method that Liu Zheng came up with to clear the acres of land with salt, haha!"

Crookedly, the land will be nationalized, you really dare to fucking think that at this time, he really wants to do this, and eighty percent will be scolded by the literati and doctors in Jiangnan for 10,000 years.

But is he, Liu Zheng, afraid of this?

Afraid of wool, what did he think in his heart? What he thought in his heart was that if there were no foreigners to beat our holy state into white ground, it would be impossible to awaken the people's self-improvement heart, and it would be impossible for anyone to say that if the people are strong, the country will be strong, and if the people are rich, the country will be rich.

For thousands of years, the people of my holy state have been poisoned by the tampered thoughts of those bastard disciples of Kong Laoer, and their backbones have been completely bent over by those bullshit servile thoughts.

Since he Liu Zheng came here, since he Liu Zheng appeared earlier than the wild boar skin, then, it is up to me to awaken the self-improvement heart of my Great Sage State.

Tianxingjian is a gentleman and strives for self-improvement, what is it before this, it is to suffer his mind, work his body and skin, and you can't get up when you lie on the ground for half a day with a stick, and you have to spit in your face, so that you understand that if you don't resist, you will have to be oppressed and exploited.

But the person with the stick in his hand can't be played by Liu Zheng, someone else must play it, so who will play it? Emperor Wanli, Li Mingyi of Taiyuan Mansion, Yang Yinglong of Banzhou!

Thinking of this, Liu Zheng arched his hand to Mu Yingyi, who was still smug, and said, "Reacquaint yourself with Liu Zheng in Xiaqingzhou!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Mu Ying, who was still smug, was stunned for a moment, and then his face turned pale, and after a while, he began to tremble, and after a long time, Mu Ying gradually recovered, but after he recovered, a wry smile appeared on his face.

"Am I digging a pit and burying myself?"

Liu Zheng smiled and said: "Then you have to see what the situation is outside the pit, if it rains stones in the sky, you dig a pit and jump down, and then block a door panel, maybe you can save your own life." ”

Mu Ying is an extremely smart person, otherwise he would not have been able to be a jinshi, and he is also the twenty-ninth jinshi, Liu Zheng said a few keywords, he heard the meaning, such as heaven, what does heaven refer to, refers to Emperor Wanli, what does Shi Yu refer to, refers to the thunderous anger after he ran to Liu Zheng and was killed by the emperor, what is the door panel blocking Shi Yu, it is the constitution he gave Liu Zheng to repair, he repaired it well, Liu Zheng can not only protect him but also his family, if it is not repaired well, this door panel is the coffin lid.

Mu Ying is a smart person and a proud person, he knows that Liu Zheng has revealed his identity at this moment, and there are only two results, but there is no difference between these two results, either he voluntarily helps Liu Zheng revise the constitution, or he is tied up by Liu Zheng to revise the constitution.

Since this is the case, then why not fight for yourself, his ambition in life is not such a small point as repairing the constitution, his ambition is to become a person like Wang Meng and Zhuge Kongming.

"Okay, let me amend the constitution for you, but I have a request, I am also a person with a good understanding of the art of war, I hope I can become a minister, not a Hanlin!"

"Oh?" Liu Zheng's eyes narrowed slightly: "Guo Jia and Jia Xu are not so easy to do!" ”

"No!" Mu Ying shook her head and said, "Compared to Guo Jia and Jia Xu, I hope to become Wang Meng more!" ”

Wang Meng! Liu Zheng's eyes lit up!

Immediately afterwards, Liu Zheng smiled slightly and said: "Okay, since you are willing to be Wang Meng, then I will also give you a chance to prove that I have Wang Zuozhicai, but this opportunity is not available now, your most important task now is to repair the constitution for me!" ”

……

It was late at night, and in addition to the mosquitoes flying everywhere in Linqing City, only Liu Zheng, Jiang Mingda, Neng Feiyu, Liu Kou and Pei Qiu did not sleep.

"The current situation in Linqing is like this!"

After Liu Kou said this, he picked up the teapot next to him and poured a few sips regardless of it, he was talking for most of the night, Liu Zheng was listening, talking about what he had heard and seen since he was sent to Linqing by Liu Zheng.

After Liu Kou finished speaking, the others didn't speak, they all looked at Liu Zheng quietly, waiting for Liu Zheng to speak first.

After being silent for a long time, Liu Zheng spoke: "In this way, the biggest force gathered in Linqing now is the Cao Gang, followed by Ma Tang, then the yamen at the entrance of the imperial court, and finally you here?" ”

Liu Kou sneered and touched his head and said, "Lord, don't look at me coming late, but if you want to give me more time, I am definitely better than those people in the Cao Gang!" ”

Liu Zheng smiled and said, "I didn't blame you, it was already very unexpected that you could do this!" ”

After finishing speaking, Liu Zheng suddenly asked: "How much have you figured out over there?" ”

"Bills?" Liu Kou was stunned and then said: "I figured it out, not only the banknote customs, but also the Matang side, Ma Tang gave more than 190,000 taels of silver to the emperor last year, and the banknotes were 59,000 taels, but according to the news I got here, Matang received at least more than 300,000 taels, and the banknotes were even more, not to mention more than 200,000 taels, most of which were called their own ignorance." ”

More than 200,000 taels of silver, Liu Zheng still feels that this number is less, the Ming Dynasty Linqing is the first in the country, the north-south traffic depends on this canal, take the canal into Beijing must pass the Linqing banknote customs, Linqing banknotes not only collect money tax, but also collect goods tax, the entire Ming Dynasty and goods tax is only Linqing money customs and Hangzhou money customs two places.

Therefore, Liu Zheng did not recognize that such a huge flow of banknotes would only be more than 50,000 taels a year, and he vaguely remembered that he had read on the Internet that in the middle of Wanli, that is, in the twenty-fifth year of Wanli now, the total tariff of the entire Ming Dynasty was 250,000 taels, and in the Chongzhen period, it was about 520,000 taels.

This is in the eyes of Liu Zheng, a later generation, I don't believe it at all, it's all nonsense, although there is a big gap between the conversion of banknotes and silver, and it is only possible to exchange tens of thousands of taels of silver for tens of millions of banknotes, so it is impossible to only have such a little silver.

The officials of the Ming Dynasty were famous for fooling the emperor, and some people in later generations said that Hangzhou had a tea tax of 6 taels a year, which was a complete fart, that was not understood by the Ming Dynasty tax messed up, and the so-called six taels was collected in the tariff.

Tariffs can fool people too much, such as the gentry who are doing business, and someone in the family is an official in the court, and the head of the household department who collects taxes will definitely close his eyes when he passes the customs, and he should not see you, this is the problem caused by the system, so Liu Zheng does not believe that Linqing banknotes will be collected in a year.

Liu Zheng's main reason for coming to the Qing Dynasty was to get the banknotes, and if he wanted to revitalize Shandong's economy, he had to take down the canal and make Linqing a commercial goods distribution center.

But Linqing is too complicated, although he really wants to come hard and knock Linqing down, but Linqing will face a big problem.

For example, once Linqing is in Liu Zheng's hands, then the north-south traffic will be cut off, so that all the taxes, silver, and grain in the south of the Yangtze River will not be able to reach Beijing.

He understands very well in his heart, even if he stops Jinan Mansion at this time, as long as he doesn't choke Wanli's neck, Wanli Cliff will turn a blind eye, and wait until the Korean war is settled and then settle the account with you, but once you choke his neck, he will definitely play with you, this is an emperor who regards money more important than Jiangshan.

So how can you hold Linqing in your hands?

Liu Zheng thought about it for a long time before he figured it out, that is, to control Linqing with Ma Tang's hand, but he couldn't let Ma Tang make trouble with Linqing, so he had to control Ma Tang first.

How to control Ma Tang, it's still one word, money, but before you can control Ma Tang with money, you have to pick him up first, and pick him up until he can be obedient.

But now his army can't be mobilized, unless it is broken into zero, otherwise as soon as you move, the emperor will know the next day, although he is not afraid that the emperor will know, but he is afraid that the emperor will be anxious, and he really wants him to work hard, he doesn't want to block the gun for Yang Yinglong.

I don't want to block the gun for the young master behind Yang Yinglong.

So he either broke the army into pieces and turned it over, or used the local forces to pick up the horses, which gave Liu Zheng a problem, because of the local forces, he had the least number of people.
