Although Suna is the Marquis of Xin'an, the supreme general of the Taiping Army stationed in Suzhou, he is not in charge of this matter, and the scholar just went to the temple to cry at the clay statue of Kong Laoer, which is not a riot or inciting the people to rebel, and it is not easy for the military to interfere. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info in this thought, Suna had no intention of seeing this excitement, so he led his guards to beat the horse and leave. But after walking for a while, he thought that this matter was so big, it was impossible for Jiang Guozhu not to come forward to deal with this matter in the city, don't let him go to the governor's yamen on the back foot, Jiang Guozhu will run here on the front foot. Therefore, he turned around and followed the crowd far away, so as not to go wrong with Jiang Guozhu.

The tradition of the Wailing Temple was very prosperous in the Apocalypse and Chongzhen years, especially during the Apocalypse, and several events were performed every year to show the disgust of the Jiangnan gentry for the eunuchs in the DPRK and the country. In Wuxi County, not far from Suzhou, there was also an incident of five gentlemen back then, which really dealt a blow to the arrogance of the eunuch party.

A few ordinary people in the market have the courage and power to fight against the eunuchs, and the scholars who have read the books of the sages and sages have spread to Suzhou, which has triggered another round of public opinion offensive against the eunuchs. In those months, the scholars in the Confucian Temple came and went, and their saliva made the statue of the Confucian saint swoon.

After decades of evolution, the Crying Temple has become a customary tradition of the Suzhou gentry, and every time this matter is mentioned, it is relished and countless flowers can be named. The literati's notes are even more records, and in their writings, the scholars who participated in the Wailing Temple were all righteous and awe-inspiring, disregarding their own safety, and only seeking justice for the common people.

It's a pity that the Qing soldiers in the year of Jiashen went south, and the tradition of the crying temple was broken all at once. In the face of the Manchu butcher's knife, the gentry of Suzhou shrank their necks one by one, and no one dared to gather to cry in the temple again. It was not until the recovery of the southern capital that the Ming Dynasty was expected to prosper that the crying temple was staged again in the city of Suzhou.

It's been 17 years, and the Confucian Temple has finally awakened again!

........

Three days ago, the deeds of Xiucai Ni Yongbin and others had already spread in Suzhou, and the scholars who were unable to participate in this event did not sigh and regret that they could not personally participate in this traditional event of Suzhou scholars. Today, when Mr. Jin Da stood up and called on everyone to cry again, hundreds of Xiucai came out of their homes and embarked on this glorious path through the ages with pride and demands for justice and justice.

"Crying temple, crying temple again!"

The city of Suzhou is also boiling, men, women and children gather in the Confucian Temple from all directions, just to see the style of the readers, and at the same time to cheer up the readers. It must be known that the ministers entered the Confucian Temple in order to oppose the government's debt, and they are working for the welfare of the people! We don't support who supports! If you don't support it, you deserve to pay food to the government!

Suzhou City has not happened such a major event for many years, and Ren Weichu, the county commander of one of the parties, is really frightened now, he is very afraid that the prefect Yan Shaoqing and the governor Jiang Guozhu will push him out as a substitute for the dead ghost in order to calm the situation. However, Yan Shaoqing's tough attitude after bringing people here made Ren Weixin feel relieved. Yan Shaoqing actually signaled Ren Wei's junior talents to enter the school temple, and then led people to surround the school temple, and then took down all the people.

Jiang Guozhu, the governor of Jiangsu, also came, his face was ugly, and after arriving, he scolded Ren Weichu bitterly, accusing him of not doing things well, so that the situation became like this.

Ren Weichu didn't dare to argue, Yan Shaoqing said a few words for him, saying that Jin Sheng sighed that they suddenly attacked, and there was no news in advance, so Wuzhong County failed to detect it in time, so that the situation expanded.

"There are too many people, and you can't take them directly in front of so many people, which is easy to provoke civil unrest."

Jiang Guozhu is old and serious, seeing that there are too many onlookers, if he closes the gate of the Confucian Temple and locks people directly according to Yan Shaoqing's method, I am afraid that it will provoke a popular uprising. If there were really thousands of people chasing after the county officials and forcing him, the governor, to hide in the latrine, it would really be all over.

can't take people directly, how to deal with this matter, do you really have to follow the requirements of the talents, stop paying off the debt, and push Ren Weichu, the culprit, out to calm the anger?

Yan Shaoqing was nervous, and Ren Weichu was a heart that fell straight into the ice cellar. Fortunately, Jiang Guozhu also knew that he couldn't be soft, King Qi had just given him an approval, which gave him the courage to be emboldened, and this crying temple case can be regarded as the introduction of the case, and it can't be retreated.

After Suna learned that Jiang Guozhu had arrived, he hurriedly brought people over. Seeing that the Marquis of Xin'an was also there, and he also witnessed the incident from beginning to end, Jiang Guozhu was very embarrassed.

Suna chuckled, his Chinese is now fluent, and the group of scholars who passed by shouted and said, he also understood eighty percent, which can be summed up in one sentence, the Jiangsu government asked them to pay this year's grain and the money and grain that should be levied in previous years, but they refused, saying that there is no basis for clearing the arrears, that is, to pay off the arrears, and it should also be to pay back the money and grain of the Qing court, what is the matter of the Ming Dynasty.

"Hou Ye didn't know that the wealthy households in Jiangnan refused to pay grain to the imperial court since the Wanli period, and the government urged them a little, so they made all kinds of excuses, resulting in almost no taxes in Jiangnan for decades. During the more than ten years that the Qing court ruled Jiangnan, these wealthy families also paid grain, but the amount of grain was much different, all because the officials of the Jiangnan government were deeply related to the local government, and it was common for them to conceal and underreport..."

Jiang Guozhu knew that although the Marquis of Xin'an surrendered from Manchuria, he was extremely respected by the King of Qi, which can be seen from the fact that the Marquis of Xin'an led the town in Suzhou. He had the heart to convey the difficulty of paying off the debt to the king of Qi through Xin'anhou, so he vomited bitterness there.

Jiang Guozhu didn't talk nonsense, but told the truth. According to him, the Qing court implemented a more severe urging in the Jiangnan region than the Ming Dynasty, and the officials who were recruited were all scored by 10 points, and those who did not fall enough were punished. However, the gentry and powerful in Jiangnan still relied on their former power to communicate with the government, bribed scribes, and concealed and defaulted on money and grain, resulting in hundreds of thousands of dollars, and politically they have not completely forgotten the Zhu Ming Dynasty, which was most intensely manifested when the Jinxia Zheng army entered the river last year. Jiang Guozhu was the governor of Jiangning at the time, and in order to suppress the privileges of the gentry and subdue the landlords in Jiangnan, he sent an official letter to the governor Lang Tingzuo, hoping to use the excuse of resisting grain and creating a sales case to severely attack these Jiangnan gentry.

This matter, from the perspective of the Qing Dynasty, is fair, reasonable, and should be, but now the Ming Dynasty is also doing this, which is a bit nondescript.

In order to raise money and grain as soon as possible, Zhou Shixiang only asked Jiang Guozhu to open the sales, find out the arrears, and wanted to get a batch of money and grain from Jiangnan as soon as possible, but he did not consider that Jiangnan could not return to the Ming Dynasty before, and there was no reason in this world for the "occupied areas" to pay grain and taxes to the "nationalized areas".

As long as the king of Qi had money and food, he didn't say anything else, and Jiang Guozhu didn't know the essentials, so he used his previous concept of sales in Wuzhong County first. As soon as the people and rich households in Wuzhong County heard that your government wanted me to pay this year's money and grain, how could I even pay the money and grain from a few years ago, and I said that if I didn't pay it, I said that I owed taxes and didn't pay it, what kind of reason is this?

Is your government from the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty? (To be continued.) )
