Yang Ming's analysis of the gentry class was very penetrating, which made the officials below think to themselves. Most of these prefects and county magistrates were ordinary scholars from poor backgrounds, although they belonged to the gentry class, they also knew the people's sufferings, and they were more acceptable to Yang Ming's shocking words, and even Ge Qizuo outside the house was a little moved, and he was eager to come in and have an in-depth discussion with Yang Ming.

But as soon as he stepped into the threshold, he heard Shang Daoxing slandering his family for having a lot of money, which meant that he was a huge greedy beetle, and he was immediately angry.

"The surname is Shang, you are full of nonsense, although the official has a solid family, but it is all the property left by the ancestors, and he has never embezzled half an acre of land from the villagers!"

"Yes, according to Shang's view, I'm afraid it may not be, I heard that when Lord Ge was in the middle of the year, the villagers alone donated as many as 1,000 acres of land, and when he was a Jinshi, some people donated 100 acres of fertile land, and I also heard that when you served as the head of the household, your uncle's family also became an imperial businessman, aren't these the root of gnawing the dynasty, you have more land, but the people who pay taxes are poor, and the treasury has become poor because of you, you are the biggest traitor!"

Shang Daoxing is now determined to follow the Han army, for this reason, he also spent no effort to learn Yang Ming's thoughts, although some of the content is difficult for him to accept, but he still forced himself to study, and over time he became a loyal fan of Yang Ming's political thoughts.

"You!"

Ge Qizuo didn't know how to talk to Shang Dao for a while, and said angrily: "That's all voluntary by the villagers, and this official doesn't understand these truths, and he sternly refused a lot at the beginning, but this is not something that will happen to this official alone, don't you have Shang Dao Xing, and the officials in the world have not encountered such a thing!" ”

"Okay, the two of you still extinguish the fire, the reason for this situation is not because of the fault of you people, but the fault of this system, you can not do it by force to occupy and sell is already considered to have a conscience, but how can there be a tiger in the world that does not eat people", Yang Ming persuaded and came to Ge Qizuo: "This is Lord Ge, right?" ”

"The old man is Ge Qizuo, he was captured by you and others, whether he was killed or listened to!"

Only then did Ge Qizuo realize that he was now a court official who had been captured by thieves, as if he should not argue loudly with Shang Daoxing here so presumptuously, so he reverted to a righteous and awe-inspiring posture, so as not to lower his status.

Yang Ming has no ill feelings towards this Ge Qizuo, he has read some books about the end of the Ming Dynasty, and vaguely remembers that Ge Qizuo, who served as the patrol of the eastern Sichuan sub-district, is still an honest official, and when Zhang Xianzhong entered Sichuan to attack Kuizhou, he committed suicide by taking poison, and he is also a loyal minister, but this time it was not Zhang Xianzhong who broke through Kuizhou and became himself, so naturally this Ge Qizuo had no chance to commit suicide.

"Lord Ge misunderstood, although I, Yang Ming, hate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, I will not kill innocents indiscriminately, Lord Ge desperately defends the city and is loyal to the country, what is the crime, I can't kill you, I invite Lord Ge to come today, do you want to ask Lord Ge to continue to do things for the people?"

"Doing things for the people?"

If Yang Ming bluntly wanted to recruit Ge Qizuo, Ge Qizuo would naturally refuse without hesitation, after all, Yang Ming was a traitor who rebelled against the imperial court, although Ge Qizuo's opinion of Yang Ming had improved somewhat, thinking that Yang Ming was not the kind of thief who had reckless ambitions and dislikes, but this did not mean that he could abandon the loyalty and righteousness that Confucianism had instilled in him for decades.

However, Yang Ming didn't ask like this, but asked him to do things for the people, so that he didn't know how to answer, could it be that he wanted to answer that he was unwilling to do things for the people? But this still violates his tenets for many years, but if he agrees to Yang Ming to do things for the people, he can't get over it in his heart.

"Yes, to do things for the people, although our Han army is now a thief who is not tolerated by the imperial court, but this does not mean that the Li people in Kuizhou are also thieves, if you Lord Ge, you don't save them and the fire and water, who will save them, you look at how many of the homeless people who live in tents outside the city are not hungry, is it possible that Lord Ge will sit idly by because he has become a prisoner, is it difficult to let the people know that the officials of the Ming Dynasty do not care about him, but are thieves who take care of them?"

Before Yang Ming finished speaking, Ge Qizuo lowered his head: "Young Master Yang doesn't need to say any more, the official promised you." Saying that, this Ge Qizuo sighed: "This official is destined not to leave a name in history in this life. ”

"Although I can't leave a name in history, but I have saved thousands of Li Shu, isn't it also a merit?" Yang Ming said with a smile.

"Hmph, Childe doesn't know you Ge Qizuo, is it possible that I don't know? The officials in this world are either good wealth or good power or good reputation, you Ge Qizuo is a good name official, in order to leave a name in history, he does not hesitate to pass the buck to his subordinates, and now he is willing to belong to it is not because he thinks that he is just a small four-grade magistrate, even if he dies with loyalty, he will not be able to leave his name, and he will not be able to pass it on to the world, but it is better to establish the founding merits from the thief, and leave a legacy of the green pen! What's more, this Yang Gongzi is not as good as ordinary rogues, he is not only an official eunuch and knows the suffering of the people, but also knows the situation in the world and has the grace to support the boat, so it is naturally worth your money, it is really hypocritical! ”

Shang Daoxing scolded Ge Qizuo in his heart, and secretly wondered how to deal with Ge Qizuo in the next time, whether he would rob him of his brilliance. Now, in addition to Zhang Youcai, Lan Liangshan and Gui Chongchun, the Wenchen around Yang Ming is his most respected status, and if it really comes to that day in the future, he will at least be above Jiuqing, but now that there are more Ge Qizuo, I am afraid that things are a little unpredictable.

Maybe Ge Qizuo used to be the boss of the business and once blocked his career path, so in the days to come, the business road always did not deal with Ge Qizuo.

However, just when Shang Dao Xing was worried about whether Ge Qizuo would overpower him again all day, Yang Ming suddenly dismissed him from his position as a guardian of the Dao, which made him panic and hurriedly found Yang Ming very aggrieved, hoping that Yang Ming could point out what he did not do well enough or what made Yang Ming dissatisfied, and let Yang Ming abandon him.

"Lord Shang thinks too much, this son doesn't let you be a sub-patrol, not because you are ineffective, but because you are very effective, this son decided to put more burden on you, and besides, this sub-patrol is actually just a matter sent to some state capitals according to the envoy, in fact, it is responsible for Xing Ming and public security, some are not suitable for you, you Shang should do more for my Han army, it should not be just a sub-patrol", Yang Ming said.

Shang Daoxing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart, although he couldn't get used to Ge Qizuo's hypocrisy and good name, but in fact, he was also a person who chased fame and fortune, but like any other person, he could see the shortcomings of others and his own shortcomings.

"The Shang people also saw that although we have set up the prefect and county orders, there is no central agency for overall arrangement in the administrative aspect, and there is no clear subordinate relationship, resulting in some things being managed by multiple people, and one person being in charge of many things, so that the management is chaotic and extremely inefficient, which is very inconsistent with my idea of streamlining the administration, so I want the Shang people to draw up a draft outline on how to set up a central organization."

Yang Ming knew that what the Han army was now occupying was no longer a village, a small county town was so simple to manage, and to govern two prefectures and thirteen counties, there must be a complete political system, and this business road line is best at making rules and systems these days, so Yang Ming asked him to plan this matter, although Shang Tao Xing did not understand Yang Ming's meaning, but also knew that Yang Ming was going to set up six cabinet departments, and let himself plan to show that he intended to make himself the leader, and he was immediately overjoyed and busy to accept it.
