Chapter 853: I Don't Agree (II)

Shen Mo received Gao Gong's letter on the 27th of the lunar month, in fact, before that, he had received many requests from large households in the southeast...... Most of them do not have a direct conflict of interest with Hai Jui, but the relationship between the wealthy and wealthy families is intertwined, and both are damaged. They were afraid that this wave of land withdrawal would spread to the southeast, so they had to write a letter to Shen Mo, asking him to persuade Hai Rui not to make things too stiff.

Even more scratching his head is still to come, during the Spring Festival, he received a letter from Xu Gelao...... Although the two of them are already inseparable, they both have identities, at least they still have to do enough face, so when they were doing New Year's goods for their father in their hometown, Shen Mo also prepared a copy for Xu Jie, and attached a warm and enthusiastic letter, which made people pass by.

Xu Jie was tortured by Hai Rui to death, and this time he just poured bitter water through the reply. But you can't come up and say, being forced to be a teacher, how can you be a miserable word? Even the dumplings eaten during the New Year feel like they are filled with coptis...... Xu Jiexian expressed his gratification, saying that I have been back for two years, and you are still thinking about me, it is really gratifying to be a teacher, but I feel ashamed. Why be ashamed? Because after I came back, I thought back on what I had done over the years, and I did have a lot of shame for you. As a teacher, I think too much about myself and too little about you. Now that I'm out of my seat, all the flattering guys of the past are hiding far away. Now even when I'm bullied, I can't find anyone to talk to.

The more I have tasted the warmth and coldness of human affection, the more I feel the preciousness of your humble words, and the more ashamed I feel. I can feel better now that I have suffered as retribution......

"My master is really able to bend and stretch, and he can pull the bottom." When he said this, he was silent in his inner signing room, and there were layers of guards outside the door, and no one was allowed to disturb him.

The person he spoke to was a middle-aged man wearing a green cotton jacket, dressed as a steward, and with an ordinary appearance. If you don't open your mouth, you can't find out what is extraordinary about him: "He is in a difficult situation now, so he has to lower his posture and ask the adults to let him go." But he still didn't have a correct attitude, and even threatened the adults between the lines, if he didn't agree, he would spread the word everywhere that you secretly instructed Hai Jui to take revenge on his teacher. As soon as he opened his mouth, it turned out to be Yu Yin, who had been missing from Shen Mo for two years.

Two years ago, because of Hu Zongxian's incident, Yu Yin felt that he could no longer face Shen Mingchen and Wang Yin, and because he deeply felt that with the expansion of Shen Mo's career, someone needed to do something shady for him...... Although there are brocade guards like fingers, they are the eagle dogs of the court after all, and no one can say for sure, whether the emperor will reshuffle the cards on a whim one day, and then they will be too passive.

Therefore, Yu Yin has repeatedly advised Shen Mo to rely on Jinyiwei, saying that if it is not his own, there will always be times when he is unreliable, and he still has to establish an underground force of his own, at least he can protect himself in the worst case. After pondering for a long time, he finally agreed to his suggestion after the danger of Hu Zongxian's case. As the proposer, Yu Yin resolutely undertook the important task of drafting and creating.

It is gratifying that after more than ten years of silent development, the accumulated strength is too strong, which makes Yu Yin's work like a tiger. As soon as it came up, there were more than 100 elite backbones to vote...... These people are all the brothers and nephews of the silent old guards, absolutely loyal and reliable, they were arranged by Shen Mo to enter the Zhenfu Division many years ago, and they were tempered by the Thirteen Taibao themselves, and they are all good at spies. These people are silently planning to calm down the division in the future, but naturally they have to use their own homes first.

In order to hide people's eyes, Yu Yin registered a Yonghe dart game in Shanghai. In this way, these dangerous elements can be dressed as dart masters; Second, Yu Yin also saw that with the development of industry and commerce in the southeast, the flow of people and goods between major cities across the country has been driven, and the homeless people have gathered in the mountains and forests, which always threatens the safety of people's lives and property, which has brought a prosperous spring to the bodyguard industry. Yonghe Dart Bureau can just take advantage of this east wind to open the semicolon all over the country's large and small cities without arousing the suspicion of the government.

This time Yu Yin came, it was Yonghe who took Xu Ge Lao's dart and escorted Xu Jie's cart of gifts back to Shen Mo, and he just took this rare opportunity to come to Yulin to meet his owner.

Speaking of which, since they met in Tongzhou that year, the two have never met, although they have kept in touch all year round, but at this moment of reunion, they really have mixed feelings.

"I didn't expect it to be so difficult to see each other again." Shen Mo held his hand and said apologetically: "I don't even have a chance to invite you to a meal, don't be surprised." ”

"My lord is now a nine-sided scripture, and he is the elite of the Ming Dynasty, and I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it." Yu Yin understood Shen Mo's situation very well, and said: "Dongchang, as well as the secret agents under the Shanxi Gang, are all pervasive guys, if the adults are not careful and cautious, it really worries me." ”

"Yes, it seems that the scenery is always infinitely dangerous." Shen Mo motioned for him to go to the kang and said, "Even Gao Ge Lao, hasn't he become cautious?" ”

Yu Yin had already read Gao Gong's letter, and said expressionlessly: "This Shoufu's mind is not as rough as it seems...... In the words of the Cantonese people, it is called 'with a pig's face and a bright heart', doesn't he just want you to support his decision to replace Hai Daren? ”

"Well," Shen Mo nodded: "But it's normal, if you can be the first assistant, how can you be good?" It's just that Gao Ge Lao didn't bother to seek a career in the past, so he was a little rough. But now that he is the prime minister of a country, and he has the great cause of reform on his shoulders, it is impossible to ignore it as before. ”

"What do you think of Hai Rui's going?" Yu Yin said in a deep voice: "If you agree with the high arch, it will inevitably make people's teeth chill." ”

"Do you think Gao Suqing really wants to change his ways?" Shen Mo sneered and said: "Reform is his lifelong dream, and what Hai Rui has done is what he has always wanted to do." How could a figure like Gao Gong stop because of some resistance? ”

"......" Yu Yin lowered his head for a moment, and when he raised his head, a rare smile appeared on his face and said: "The judgment of the adult is really sharp, and this is exactly what the subordinates want to report." As he spoke, he took out a letter from his sleeve and presented it to Shen Mo.

Shen Mo took it and saw that it was a letter written by Gao Gong's protégé Han Yi to a person named Cai Guoxi. has an impression of this Cai Guoxi, Shen Mo is a protégé of Xu Jie, but because when Su Song was the deputy envoy of the military garrison, he had a conflict with Xu Jie's son. It is said that the official boat he was on and the boat of the Xu brothers met on the river, and the two sides refused to give in to each other, but the evil slave of the Xu family rushed directly to his boat, stripped his official uniform and threw it into the water, injured several of his entourage and left.

Cai Guoxi was humiliated by this, so he naturally wanted to find a place back, he went to Songjiang Mansion to complain, but was persuaded by Zhen Zhenji to calm down. I was angry, so I sued the province again, and even wrote a complaint and sent it to Beijing, but it was all lost in the sea, and no one was willing to accept it. In the end, the Xu family brothers let out their words, if he dared to sue again, he would completely strip him of his official clothes. Cai Guoxi told Wumen that he couldn't bear the shame, so he hung up his crown in a fit of anger...... Speaking of which, it's been five years since then.

'Why did Section Chief Han think of this again?' While pondering, Shen Mo took out the letter and looked at it, only to know that the two were fellow villagers and had a good relationship. Since Gao Gong came to power, Han Yi has sought a comeback for this fellow countryman, and recently finally got his wish, so he couldn't wait to write to himself to ask for credit. In the letter, Han Yi swore that Gao Gong had promised to reinstate him. He also said that after Hai Rui got out of class, he would be the governor of the country.

"According to Han Yi, Gao Gong has already made up his mind to replace Hai Rui, and even has a replacement." Yu Yin analyzed silently in a soft voice: "This has two advantages, one is to calm public opinion, I don't want people to criticize him, and I am very anxious to persecute Xu Jie; The second is that after the king of Haiyan and the butcher Cai, the land should be returned to the field, and the father and son of the Xu family will be even more miserable. After a pause, he said: "Actually, there is a third point, Hai Rui once scolded him at the beginning, with the temperament of a high pavilion elder, it is difficult to have no mustard, so it is not surprising that there is a substitute for him." ”

"......" listened to Yu Yin's analysis, and was silent for a long time before he said coldly: "I won't agree!" Calming down his anger, he said in a deep voice: "Hai Rui is the person I chose, and he can't change it if he wants." Otherwise, once this case is opened, there will be endless troubles! ”

Yin nodded, and then no longer talked about the high arch, but talked about Hai Rui said: "The students heard that this Haida people are very hateful to the rich, and he has a famous saying called 'for the rich is not benevolent, for the benevolent is not rich', as soon as he arrived in Suzhou, he issued a decree, requiring officials to be strict and economical, and large households should also take the lead in frugality, and also seized the Qinglou gambling house in Suzhou City; moreover, he was very dissatisfied with most of the farmland in Songjiang Prefecture that had been replanted with cotton mulberry, and intended to order rectification and restore the number of grain fields. Saying that, he looked at Shen Mo and said: "If he is messed around, Su Song's economy will have to go backwards, it is the heart of the national economy." ”

"How did I not know that he was a double-edged sword?" The corners of Shen Mo's mouth tugged at a wry smile: "But don't forget what our idea is." ”

"We want to use Hairui to squeeze capital out of the land." As Shen Mo's most trusted confidant, Yu Yin understands his full plans...... In Shen Mo's view, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng's hope to solve the dynastic crisis by suppressing mergers is a palliative rather than a cure. Moreover, by suppressing annexation by direct blows, they put themselves in opposition to the powerful landlords. And the powerful landlords are the foundation of the thousand-year-old empire, even if the emperor wants to clean them up, they will be cleaned up by them in turn.

Throughout history, Shen Mo believed that land annexation was unstoppable and intensified with the profit-seeking impulse of those in power...... Even if someone can restrain them for a while, after they lose power, the powerful landlords will inevitably fight back and once again intensify the annexation of land to compensate for the original losses. The overall trend of annexation cannot be changed until the limits of the peasants' patience are exceeded, and a large number of people are unable to eat, and the time has come for a change of dynasty. Then the new dynasty was established, the land was redistributed, and another cycle began, and the cycle went on and on, and on and on, and on and on, and this is the fundamental reason why China went through the 'Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties', and rolled in place for two thousand years.

In fact, in the original history of silence, the Ming Dynasty had the opportunity to get rid of this cyclical law and enter a new world, but the days are not off, all kinds of tragic factors are intertwined, the empire is about to collapse in the old system, the new system has not yet formed the weakest period, was destroyed by the Tunguska savages, directly back to the slave society. As a result, they missed the golden opportunity for human progress and completely fell behind in the forest of nations.

Shen Mo didn't know if he could help Daming overcome the powerful inertia and slide history to another trajectory. But in the face of the 267-year history of the country, there is nothing to hesitate about, but to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor. He combined the knowledge he had learned in his previous life and the experience he had accumulated in this life, and tried to take the pulse of the patient Daming, wanting to find a way to help me get through the second pulse of Ren Du in Huaxia and avoid the recurrence of the tragedy.

From the economic level, the Ming Dynasty has been prosperous in industry and commerce for decades, and has been reluctant to fall behind in the last step of capitalism, and there are naturally many reasons, but the most important thing is the strong inertia of the historical cycle law...... Since ancient times, due to severe deflation and lack of necessary conditions for the development of a commodity economy, the small peasant economy has always occupied a dominant socio-economic position. The biggest characteristic of the small-scale peasant economy is that wealth comes from the land, and land is the source and representative of wealth, so the powerful landlords have changed one stubble after another, but the impulse to annex has always been strong and strong.

Even with the expansion of overseas trade, a large amount of silver from the Americas flowed into China, which greatly alleviated the deflation of the empire and allowed industry and commerce to flourish. But people's ideas are deep-rooted, what do many rich people do when they make money? It is not to expand reproduction, but to buy land...... The rise of overseas trade and the increase of social wealth have intensified land annexation! It's ridiculous.

In order to change people's concepts, it is also necessary to change the concept of the landlord class and to transform it into a pure industrial and commercial class as soon as possible, and in addition to creating good conditions for the development of industry and commerce, it is also necessary to deal a heavy blow to the traditional landlord economy.

How? It is to make them return the land they have seized and pay taxes according to the number of acres of land, as Hai Jui did, so that the land annexation becomes unprofitable.
