Chapter 730: Good Calculation
Fang La thought to himself, inciting the hungry people, just holding a hoe and a flat burden, wrapping up the crowd to make things happen, and the court will take care of it, and it won't take long for it to disappear. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut these merchants and big landlords are different, and they can be regarded as a class of the imperial court. Even they are against the new policy of the imperial court, and it is difficult for the imperial court to make a heavy hand. Although he was complimented by everyone and asked him to be the principal, he didn't want to expose himself so quickly. So he just used it in his heart, but he pushed the big landlord, became the principal, and prepared to gather people to make trouble.
Ludi has always been a fierce people, and it is far from the hometown of etiquette that people yearn for. In fact, this is all because of Confucius, who said that he repays virtue with virtue and repays grievances with straightforwardness. The people of Ludi are straightforward and have clear grievances. is like the Liangshan hero in "Water Margin", jealous and hateful. In the official history, the Northern Song Dynasty fell to the country, and the entire Central Plains fell into the hands of the Jin State, but Ludi has always had a fierce resistance, which made the Jin State anxious.
But it is precisely because of this that the people of Ludi are more susceptible to demagoguery. During the peaceful years, it was okay, and the people would not rebel if they had a bite to eat. But in some special years, this may not be the case. Fang La also saw this, and was about to let go of his hands and feet on Shandong East Road, but he was unexpectedly preempted by the imperial court, which made him very depressed.
At this time, the big landlord who was pushed to be the principal spoke: "Thanks to all the brothers, I have become the principal." It's just that he is shallow in his studies, embarrassed by the heavy responsibility, and he still needs to discuss more things with his brothers, and he doesn't dare to make decisions without permission. Today, we want to petition the imperial court, I don't know what you brothers, what do you think? ”
The landlord's surname is Lin, and his ancestors were officials. After Zhishi, he bought dozens of acres of land and passed it on. Later, it got bigger and bigger, and he became a big landlord in Qingzhou.
As soon as his words fell, a person got up and said: "I have an idea, if you want to say that among the Qilu, the most fertile land is the Confucian family, why don't I unite with the Confucian family and petition the imperial court?" With the status of the Confucian family, how should the imperial court pay attention to it, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone agreed. In China, there are only two families that have survived for a long time, and they can be called true millennium families. The world is "South Zhang North Kong", Zhang's family, that is, Zhang Daoling in the Eastern Han Dynasty handed down, Taoism is very clever, used by the imperial court in the past dynasties, is to be able to prosper forever; Needless to say, the Kong family is the descendant of Master Kong. But except for the ancestor Kong Qiu, there are few famous characters in the Confucian family, and everyone is overshadowed under the aura of Old Master Kong.
The sacred worship of the Confucian family has endured for a long time. Even if it is not a court that is heavy on literature, it is necessary to envelop them. They will also do things, and every time they change the dynasty, they will destroy the Danshu iron coupons of the previous generation, and welcome the new dynasty with a new attitude, expressing their recognition of his rule. Therefore, the existence of the Confucian family is a political need, and the imperial court can obtain the status of "orthodoxy" by encircling them, which is the same as the jade seal of the country.
These people want to blackmail the Kong family and threaten the imperial court, and they are also bold, but it is indeed a good calculation. The Kong family's land is more than a thousand hectares? The new policy of the imperial court was an extremely huge blow to the Kong family, and the tenants ran out. People are all for their own interests, after all, people are not for themselves, and the heavens and the earth will be destroyed! No matter how good other people's fields are, they are also their own, not their own. After hard work to grow food, you have to pay tenant rent. These tenants don't care what the origin of the Kong family is, I move my family, can you still stop me?
No, one left, two left, and immediately caused a huge effect, and almost half of the tenants ran away. The rest are all good words from the Kong family, so they can be regarded as staying. But when the hearts of the people are scattered, it is not easy to lead the team. The Kong family only collected 10% of the tenant rent, and they didn't have to pay taxes, so they were reluctant to stay. It can be said that the blow of the New Deal to the Kong family is too great, if it is not for the thousand-year-old heritage, I am afraid that the Kong family will not be able to hold on.
The Kong family can't hold on, and the rest of the small landlords or something, what else do they need to say?
Therefore, everyone present immediately understood and applauded. Fang La was also secretly frightened, this big landlord of the forest didn't seem to be a straw bag! It seems that it is still a little difficult for him to be a behind-the-scenes conductor. If it doesn't work out, it's better to say, if it does, wouldn't it be that you have given up the fruits of "victory"?
Fang La's face was very exciting, and he was already calculating his little Jiujiu. The rest of the people continued to discuss how to kidnap the Kong family and get on their own boat, and they were very happy. Some people even suggested that if some locusts were caught in other places and returned, a "plague of artificial locusts" would be formed, so that the price of grain could be raised. After all, grain can be stored for several years, and as long as you seize the opportunity, you can still sell it at a good price.
This unconscionable practice is still echoed. After all, there are many grain merchants present, and they may have saved such thoughts and have already started to prepare.
Of course, locusts are not easy to catch, one or two are easy to say, but thousands are difficult to catch. There were only a few thousand, which was not enough for the poultry raised by the farmers. The idea is good, but unfortunately it is not practical.
Everyone is getting more and more excited, and someone has already proposed that they will go to Qufu together tomorrow to visit the Confucian family and discuss how to advance and retreat together. Fang La came to his senses and hurriedly said, "How could the Kong family offend the imperial court for this matter?" As long as they talk to the imperial court, the imperial village can buy their land at the price. It's just a matter of difficulty when we don't have power or power. If the Confucian family dares to blackmail the imperial court with this, I am afraid that it will be the Confucian family, and it will be difficult to enjoy glory and wealth anymore. ”
Everyone thought to themselves, it seems that this is also the truth. Fang La saw that everyone was moved, and then added fuel and vinegar and said: "Besides, don't you go to Qufu to give the court an excuse, saying that the Kong family is forming a party for personal gain and wants to blackmail the court?" The imperial court only severely punished the Kong family, and you are afraid that you will be unlucky......"
Everyone was shocked, and it seemed that this was the truth. In fact, Fang La was afraid that they would rashly leak the details of their Maitreya Sect, so they startled the snake and attracted the attention of the imperial court. If you start an incident in the name of a businessman or a landlord, you can get rid of yourself. If he coerced the imperial court with the Confucian family, maybe this Shandong East Road would be full of inspectors within a month. The inspector is powerful, and Fang La has already understood it. is targeted by the Supervision Department, and it is not far from the time when the imperial court will purge the Ming Sect. Fang La felt that Mingjiao was still too weak at this time, and he didn't want to be exposed too early. But he is eager to consume Dashun's strength, after all, Dashun's national strength is weak, so he can take advantage of it.
These businessmen and landlords only cared about money, and after thinking about it for a long time, they said: "Then according to Brother Fang's meaning, what should I do?" ”
Seeing them fall into the hub, Fang La said softly: "As said before, you lead the family members to the yamen to redress their grievances." I also led the people and waved the flag and shouted in the back. Even the yamen wouldn't dare to attack so many people, right? Fang La just used the idea of "the law does not blame the public" to turn the grievances into an incident. In this way, you may be able to get involved in some foolish men and fools. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at the end of the Qin Dynasty, isn't it the same?
And this plan is wonderful, it can not only clear the Mingjiao, but also take the opportunity to consume the strength of the imperial court, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
Fang La was afraid that everyone would veto this proposal, but unexpectedly, the big landlord of Nalin said: "Brother Fang has a point, we will fight with reason, and we should be able to reach the heavens......
I really wanted to fall asleep and someone sent a pillow, Fang La was overjoyed: "Then there is a forester in this matter!" ”
"Where righteousness lies, there is no resignation!" (To be continued.) )
