Chapter 976 ****

The most difficult thing in the world is to change people's minds, Tang Yi has tried many ways, such as promoting the development of industry and commerce, starting the propaganda machine, introducing the legend of getting rich, setting an example, taking the lead in running Dongfan, developing Luzon, and promoting Tang Xue......

For example, the Lu family, the Wang family, and the Hu family have all begun to focus their business on overseas, and there are more Xi Muyun, Xu Huan, etc., actively exploring overseas. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

But I have to say that it is still too far from Tang Yi's goal.

Businessmen who have become wealthy still want to buy land for the first time, and in their hearts, it is always more important to keep their business than to start a business, and the best way to keep their business is land.

The Ming people's pursuit of land is countless times stronger than the desire for houses in later generations.

However, most families are too conservative, and their fear of the sea and their obsession with the land are generally the same, and they are simply unreasonable.

No matter how much you tell them, you will obey them on the surface, but when you look back, you will still be the same, so that you have no temper at all.

Tang Yi can also see that the reason does not make sense, and strong means must be used to force most people to change their concepts. The most straightforward way to do this is to increase the cost of land holding.

To put it bluntly, it is to clear the acres of land and pay taxes on an average basis.

Originally, the land price in the southeast was on the high side, and the land output was small, if the land endowment was added, in fact, one mu of land could not make a few dollars, and it would have to lose money if it caught up with the bad year.

Seeing that their wealth was shrinking, which was something that no one could bear, they were forced to turn around, either to invest in industry and commerce, or to go overseas to develop, these two points were exactly the result that Tang Yi needed.

Therefore, it is no longer just a battle of will to attack the Xu family, it is said that the prime minister's stomach can support the boat, although Tang Yi is not so generous, but he will not have a quarrel with a bad old man in order to order Chen sesame rotten grain.

He wants to use Xu Jie to warn the families in the southeast and tell them that Tang Yi is not joking this time, it is better than Xu Jie admitting defeat, and if you still want to make trouble, there is only one way to die.

Kill chickens and monkeys, knock on mountains and shock tigers.

Tang Yi's abacus played very well, but when Hai Rui convicted Xu Jie, the news came out, but it was a little out of control, and it completely became a monkey killer!

What are you kidding, you can't be humiliated if you can kill someone, the dignified Xu Ge Lao wants to be humiliated in the lobby, what will happen to the others? Besides, the Manchu Dynasty has a few clean butts, if you do it according to Hai Rui, the big guys won't live.

For a time, officials of all sizes in the capital wrote letters one after another, impeaching Hai Rui, and wanting to return justice to Xu Jie. The official of Kedao said that he shouted the loudest, demanding that Hai Rui be severely punished to defend Shilin's reputation.

Like snowflakes, they filled the cabinet, and in one day, more than 300 copies were delivered at most. Tang Yi couldn't hold it down, so he could only send it to the celebrant supervisor, and there was a lot of piling up in front of Long Qing.

His Majesty the Emperor was pulled out of the Ten Beauty Pictures, and his head was several times bigger.

Although he didn't like Xu Jie, but after all, the old man was kind to Longqing, and he assisted him to succeed to the throne, so how could he be easily humiliated by such an important minister.

Long Qing was furious and demanded that the cabinet immediately investigate Hai Rui and return Xu Jie's justice.

This time, it was no longer enough for the elders of the Seven Great Pavilions, including Yang Bo, Zuodu Yushi Ge Shouli, Gao Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Mao Kai, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and more than a dozen important ministers gathered in the cabinet to discuss countermeasures.

Zhao Zhenji's eyes were red, and the old man hadn't slept for three days.

"It's appalling, it's really appalling, the dignified head and auxiliary minister, it ended up like this, who else can do things for the court in the future? If Hai Jui is not severely punished, how can he convince the scholars? Not only Hai Rui, but also that Wang Yongji, let him go to Songjiang, and he was in collusion with Hai Rui, which is hateful! Severely punished, must be severely punished! ”

Zhao Zhenji shouted, but Ge Shouli and Mao Kai both lowered their heads and were silent.

"Lord Ge, what do you think?" Zhao Zhenji asked with a calm face.

Ge Shouli looked embarrassed, "Let me state first, Xu Ge is very sympathetic to the old man, but I really can't handle it." ”

"Why is it not easy to do, as the imperial history of the head of the court, can't you clean up the king's Yongji?"

Ge Shouli also lost his temper, you Zhao Dazhou can put a big clove of garlic in the cabinet, Lao Tzu's qualifications are deeper than yours, I don't buy it!

"Elder Zhao Ge, the cabinet has repeatedly reaffirmed that the impeachment of officials must have real evidence, and everything must be in accordance with the law. I have the results of the investigation sent by Wang Yongji here, and he found out that the Xu family alone has caused the loss of nearly 100,000 taels of land every year, and this is the case, he dealt with it impartially, does Zhao Ge always think that it is right to annex land and dig up the corners of the imperial court? ”

Ge Shouli was two subjects earlier than Zhao Zhenji, and as soon as he spoke, Lao Zhao suddenly became dumbfounded.

In the final analysis, he is still weak-hearted, and he has also heard of the Xu family's actions, to be honest, it is really shocking! With so many fields, so many workshops, and so many shops, if you really calculate it carefully, the Xu family's property is at least more than 10 million taels, which is more than the income of the national treasury.

When you become an official, you are a rich country, and you are no one!

The disciple is full of truth, but how can he defend you?

Zhao Zhenji was silent.

"Lord Ge, the holy will is clear, if you want to return Xu Ge's husband, is it difficult to disobey the holy decree?" This time it was Xu Jie's hardcore confidant, Zhu Heng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, who spoke.

Ge Shouli spread his hands, "Zhu Butang, you said so, you can send Qin Cha south again to re-investigate the case, if Xu Ge has grievances, Hai Rui and Wang Yongji are corrupt and pervert the law and frame the old man, just deal with them, the old man has no opinion." ”

blocked Zhu Heng back at once, there is no shortage of smart people in the court, Yang Bo lowered his eyelids, kept thinking, Zhang Juzheng looked solemn, as if he had an understanding.

Back then, Hai Rui wrote a letter to impeach Jiajing, just imagine, if he impeached Jiuqing's important ministers, Jiajing casually made a will, saying that he slandered the courtiers, and there was no reason to cut off his head.

However, Hai Rui impeached Jiajing, and the emperor couldn't be unreasonable, so he dragged the case around, and "Public Security" was all over the world, making Jiajing angry to death, and he couldn't kill Hai Rui!

It shows that if you want to cause trouble, you will have to make a big trouble, and it is good to pierce the sky.

I don't know if Hai Rui hit by mistake or if he was calculating.

Quickly cut through the mess and convicted Xu Jiezhi first.

If he is still interrogated, the Holy Decree will save Xu Jie, and then Hai Rui will wait for endless revenge! But now, he has given the case, if he wants to deal with Hai Rui and save Xu Jie, he must overturn Hai Rui's verdict.

Send Qin to the south again to investigate the case, and then come to the conclusion that the Xu family is not guilty and Hai Rui should die!

This can be in line with Longqing's will and the result that the Xu Party wants, but the question is who dares to do this?

Hai Rui is a fierce man who has impeached the first emperor, and his every move will go down in history. As for the Xu family's rampant township and merger of land, it is a well-known thing, and you can't ignore your conscience and say that Xu Jie's approach is right, right?

Besides, above this court, how many opponents of Xu Jie, who want to see Lao Xu unlucky? Overturning the case for Xu Jie, he was uneven, in case he annoyed which immortal, he continued to send Qin Messenger again, and he didn't know how many people he would fall into.

Ge Shouli is old and sophisticated, and he can see it clearly.

Hai Rui and Wang Yongji occupy the reason and law, and Xu Jie occupies a relationship. He can't tell which way the wind is blowing, and since he can't tell, I won't mix, you can play by yourself!

Ge Shouli pretended to be cowardly, and the eyes of the big guy fell on Mao Kai, he is the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and he has the most right to speak, come, talk about it!

Mao Kai only felt that he was born by Dou E, and he was wronged home.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I have the same opinion as Elder Ge, Elder Xu Ge's situation is bleak, which is indeed chilling. However, the file sent by Hai Rui is vividly remembered, and as the main hall of the Criminal Department, I can only handle it impartially. If you drown in such a clear dossier...... I'm afraid that I won't have the face to explain to the world. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Zhenji stood up angrily.

"Can you explain to the rest of the world now? Xu Ge has worked hard for decades, and he ended up like this, is it reasonable? ”

Of course not...... But to ask rhetorically, can we deal with Hai Jui, disregard the law of the country, and tell lies with a clear conscience?

Like the impeachment of Jiajing, this case will be famous in history no matter what, if anyone wants to be a white-faced clown on the stage, let go of their guts!

Zhao Zhenji saw that everyone lowered their heads, and he gradually felt the taste, this case is difficult, it is too difficult!

Since it is difficult, someone must come out to solve the problem!

He saw Tang Yi at a glance, and said in his heart, you can't stop talking.

"Lord Motosuke, can you give me an explanation!"

Yang Bo saw the opportunity, and hurriedly said: "Yuan Fu is far-sighted and wise, this case involves heavenly principles, national law, human feelings, and ethics, only Yuan Fu's talent can make a balance between trade-offs, no matter what, we will listen to you." ”

The words sound good, but in fact, the matter has been raised again, creating difficulties in solving it, and Old Man Yang never forgot to stumble Tang Yi.

You wait for me, and sooner or later we will have to settle our accounts.

Tang Yi was ruthless in his heart, but what about Gao Gong, Chen Yiqin, Zhu Heng, Mao Kai, they all spoke, and they all slapped their ass, there is only one request, you have an idea!

These old officials don't have a good cake, if I hadn't been prepared, I would have been cheated by you.

Tang Yi's face was gloomy, he didn't speak, and his eyes were red.

"Princess, Xu Ge is an old meritorious society, and his reputation is very high, when I think of his old man being brought to the court for trial, my heart is like a knife, it hurts, it hurts!"

Tang Yi's face was full of sadness, as if he felt empathy, "I thought that if I re-dispatched the Qin Cha to try the case, no matter what, I would have to invite Xu Ge Lao to the court again." It's all a disservice to her old family, so I'm against continuing to investigate. ”

Zhao Zhenji's eyebrows rose, and he was about to speak, but Tang Yi continued: "But the national law is like the sky, and the evidence is conclusive, if we take the national law as a child's play, how can we promote the new law change, and how to promote the Ming Dynasty?" ”

It's really worthy of the first assistant, and it sounds good, but where is the solution? How to untie it?

"Therefore, I think that we should immediately ask for a decree to pardon Elder Xu Ge, and send important ministers of the imperial court to Yingtian to express condolences to Elder Xu Ge, so as to show the court's care, what do you think?" (To be continued.) )
