After Zhou Linhui left, Hai Rui walked around the hall, still excited, and couldn't help but ask the good official how he came up with this method, this question, the good official naturally couldn't answer honestly, so he called Sugata Risa in, "Boss, this is the boy's maidservant, Fusang people, the boss might as well listen to her tell the story of the battle between the 66 great names of Fusang!" As he spoke, he beckoned Sugatani Risa to his side, "Risha, this is the Boss of Haigangfeng, the Imperial Envoy of the Right Capital, you can tell me about the transfer of the princes of Fusang." ”

Kanya Risa looked at Hai Rui, her face flushed with excitement, and for a while, she stumbled when she spoke, and the obedient official hurriedly explained, "The reputation of the boss, although she is a foreigner, she can also listen to the ...... in her ears" These words are better than any ** naked flattery, Hai Rui is a clean official, it does not mean that he does not like to listen to good words, and he is smiling at the moment, quite complacent.

After listening to Sugatani Risa say that the princes of Fuso fought each other, and most of the ones who lost were cut and transferred their fiefs, Hai Rui groaned and asked the good official: "What kind of person is this girl?" The obedient official hurriedly said: "Her father is a samurai of 1,200 stones, and in the words of our Ming Dynasty, it is also the son of the eldest of the Kyushu Xuanwei Division." ”

It is really evil to say that the retainers of the spectrum are born in a family, and the good officials are really evil, but the reason is also different, Hai Rui tugged at his beard, oh, and said: "Hmm! It can be regarded as a dignitary, no wonder he is quite knowledgeable. When the obedient official heard this, his face was strange, and he said in his heart that this can be compared, Da Ming is a good product of a thousand stones, but who really relies on a thousand stones, his mouth opened and wanted to explain, this thousand two hundred stones is counted as land and not as a village, in fact, it is equivalent to the head of a small village, and he has to pay for his subordinates.

But he didn't open his mouth after all, the sea lord tugged at his beard, thinking that this idea was really feasible, but there was a premise for this, he had to hold little Luzon in his hands, and asked the good officer, "Do you know how many military horses there are in little Luzon?" ”

"Little Luzon is not enough." The obedient official immediately said: "The key is the big Luzon behind the little Luzon, well!" They are called the Spanish Habsburgs, and now they are strong and strong, known as the Empire, with an invincible armada, thousands of ships, and 40,000 elite soldiers...... The boy had one of his subordinates, the Great Luzon, and he might as well have been called to tell the story. ”

As he spoke, he asked Risha Sugatani to call Ryan Stein Bonaparte, and in a flash, Rui Qianhu arrived, wearing a half-body armor, and knelt down on one knee, "Knock on the Grand Governor, the old man of the courtyard." ”

Hai Rui was a little curious when he saw him speak Nanzhili's official language, and then looked at him with a dignified appearance, dark white complexion, a beard on his lips, and a little majesty, but he was a little happy, "Get up and speak." ”

Hai Rui stayed until noon, and the obedient official invited the teacher Cheng Lun Cheng Shensi to accompany him, but Yan Shannong was not good to come out for the time being, and he had to make a posture to Suzhou in two more days, and at this time, the people of Ningbo said that the newspaper was issued, and all the beings were in an uproar, without it, Yan Shannong was too alarmist, saying that the court would not die, it was unreasonable, and this was going to change to another dynasty, and he would have been pulled out and beheaded, but in the late Ming Dynasty, Qingliu discussion of politics was already the trend, and there were any kind of alarmist remarks.

But Yan Shannong is not talking in the vernacular! He has specific figures, and he will spread the taxes in the world, and then calculate with you the expenses of the hundred officials, the rice of the clan, and the expenses of the military guards, and then he said, the whole world is eating grain, and the taxes of the political secretaries of Shanxi and Shaanxi have been collected until the forty-eighth year of Wanli, and the richest officials and gentry are shouting that the court is competing with the people for profit, and who is competing for profit? Where does the people come from?

In the end, he asserted that the world would surely perish at the hands of 500,000 gentry, unless, like the common people, the gentry had to pay taxes, complete the grain, and have to be forced into labor.

Naturally, the post station traffic of the Ming Dynasty is not enough for the people of the day to spread the newspaper all over the world, however, with the level of the post station in the Wanli year, the new lyrics of the North Zhili will be spread to the South Zhili in about half a month, it is conceivable that at most one month, the article of the official gentry to pay the grain will be known to the world.

Suzhou Mansion naturally can't see these at this time, Zhejiang Buzheng Si Xue Cheng Shensi accompanied Hai Rui to dinner, and talked about some scriptures and articles during the banquet, Hai Rui felt that this Zhejiang Tixue in front of him was really a square master, presumably, he was also sent to Suzhou by his student Zheng Fengzhang, and he was secretly funny in his heart, but then he thought about it, wasn't he also on the boat by this kid, for a while, it was a little ridiculous.

Suzhou Mansion is under the management of the Zhejiang Political Division, and is directly under the jurisdiction of Nanjing, there are two great Bodhisattvas of Zhejiang Tixue and the right imperial envoy of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, and they have caught thousands of scholars and officials, and they have been pressed down, and then, the dog eats the dog's hair, and a large number of officials, especially the officials of the Science and Grain Road have been involved, and the people of the Admiral of the Jiang River and the people of Jinyiwei are all over the city to arrest people, and even the political secretary of the political department Luan Zixia has been locked up, and the Suzhou Inspector Fourth Court is overcrowded.

However, these people can only be detained, and in the end it depends on what the cabinet says, and later film and television dramas will say how dark the Ming Dynasty is, in fact, it is like a death sentence, and the local political axe cannot be sentenced, the so-called autumn queen asks and beheads, which has to be approved by the emperor himself, so under normal circumstances, even if it is a capital crime, most of them are in prison, if the conditions at home are good, make some silver, and they may not suffer in it, if they encounter any good things again, such as the emperor giving birth to his eldest son, the queen mother's birthday, and so on, when the time comes, the amnesty will come out again.

Therefore, in the Ming Dynasty, unless it is heinous, there is almost no possibility of death, which naturally gives countless arrested scholars and officials room to operate, for a while, the carriages and horses at the gate of the Humble Administrator's Garden are continuous, and countless people come to the door to ask to see, but the obedient official is under the pretext of being escorted by the teacher Cheng Shensi to do sage articles, and they are all gone.

The people who came to the door scolded in their hearts, lying in the mud of the Gobi, doing sage articles? Your Uncle Zheng Guo has arrested thousands of scholars in one go, and he has really swept the floor, and he has also written sage articles.

But this, no one dares to say, you know, as long as you are admitted to the so-called Xiucai, you basically can't starve to death, the court has to send some Lu rice in the end, but it's not enough for you to eat Haisai Huatian wine, but, once Xiucai is lifted, then, suddenly the carp jumps over the dragon gate, and it is common to spend time and wine, if you are a jinshi, become an official, congratulations on entering the privileged class, you can wantonly encroach on the land, even if you are impeached, go home to retire, according to the custom, the officials who took office in your hometown have to visit the door, and prepare etiquette, If someone in your family commits a crime, as long as it is not a crime, public opinion is heinous, and you hand a famous thorn to the yamen, you can probably be bailed out, and the villagers around your house are honored, and they would rather sacrifice the land to be your family's slaves, and you will collect a 30% rent every year, and the villagers will praise you for your benevolence and righteousness, and you are the great good man of [the descendants of the prince and the prince].

So the thousands of scholars who were arrested, although they are not powerful, they are indeed the children of rich families, even if they are like Fan Yuheng, saying that they can't afford to eat white rice, but you look at him, traveling around to study, where did the money come from? And the serious peasants of the people may not even go out within a hundred miles in their lives.

If you can't see Zheng Dudu, then ask to see Haida Qingtian! Hai Rui has served as the governor of Su Song, and has a very good reputation in Suzhou, not to mention that he is famous all over the world, to tell the truth, if others arrest thousands of scholars, I am afraid that there will be a riot early, Hai Rui will not take a shelf, and those who come will not refuse, but, bitten to death, the scholars were instigated by some officials with ulterior motives in the science and grain road, forged demon books, slandered important ministers, and the evidence is conclusive.

Smart people chew out the taste, the scholars are instigated, the families of these scholars are a bit of a bite, the so-called integrity, it is because of the preciousness that it is praised, ordinary scholars read out, even if they are admitted to the Jinshi, it is just to add a corrupt official to the Ming Dynasty in the future, where is there any integrity, Jiangnan proverb: thousands of miles to be an official, just for food and clothing.

So much for.

Three days later, the people reported that they had arrived in Suzhou from Ningbo through the post station, and at this time, Suzhou Prefecture was shocked to discover that the arrested people did not deserve sympathy.

According to later generations, the Celestial Dynasty has been around for thousands of years, and the people of the Song and Ming dynasties have the highest literacy rate, probably more than 30%, and everything is inferior, only the high level of reading is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

During the Wanli period, Wang Ruguan compiled the "Accounting Record" into a book, the "Wanli Accounting Record" written by the Hubu Shangshu is the standard of the Tianfu for 500 years after the Heavenly Dynasty, the population of Suzhou Prefecture is counted in the book, there are more than 2.35 million, Suzhou is a collection of literary style of the pavilion villagers, it is said that one million people are literate.

The ancients read books, perhaps the biggest problem is sentence reading, such as the Di Bao and other court newspapers, and only the readers can understand it, but the people say that the newspaper has punctuation and sentence amusement, and besides, the vernacular at that time was very similar to five hundred years later, and only the high-level readers who compiled the history museum were so idle that they would specifically translate the vernacular spoken by the emperor into classical Chinese, so as to show their role, and then get such articles to the Di Bao, but in fact, the emperor's dictation, the cabinet's vote, the celebrant and so on, As long as you are literate, you can understand everything.

Therefore, the people of Suzhou looked at it, and felt that the small people were paying taxes for the officials and masters, whether it was a show or a person, these scholars were exempt from forced labor and acres of land, and in the end they were all grafted on our heads.

In less than two days, the entire Suzhou Mansion knew about it, and almost all of the teahouses, restaurants, restaurants and even Qinglou Jiyuan were talking about this gentry's integrated payment, as for the arrested scholars, who still cared about them, no wonder Hai Rui Hai Qingtian wanted to arrest them, and it was really not wronged.

Therefore, it is still very good to have a good reputation, and the popularity that Hai Rui raised in Suzhou back then will be effective at this time.

At the same time, almost all the gentry jumped to their feet and scolded Yan Shannong, and if they had ulterior motives, they concocted an article: Xiyan Shannong suddenly rolled on the spot during the lecture and said: Try to see my conscience...... This article seems to praise Yan Shannong's childlike innocence, which is exactly the same as praising Hai Rui for whipping Hu Zongxian's son, but in fact, it is just saying that Yan Shannong is just an old dog rolling around and pampering.

At this time, Li Zhen and Li Zhuowu came from Yanjing to Nanjing, and heard this article on the boat, and wrote an article late at night with a pen in his clothes: The rolling of the Yunshan farmers has never been heard of; If there is, then the mountain farmers have their own conscience and true interest, and they will fight and roll themselves, so what does it have to do with everyone...... He said meaningfully, Yan Shannong rolled, I haven't heard of this, what's more, even if there is such a thing, what does it matter to him to roll others? The officialdom is servile and flattering, but it is just a dog rolling in general, and rolling all the time, saying rolling, rolling all the time, as long as the powerful have a look, they will roll obediently all over the ground, and the mountain farmers themselves roll, it is better than them!

In the end, he commented: I regret that the mountain farmers can't roll for life. When you roll, you don't see yourself inside, you don't see people outside, you don't see beauty in the middle, you don't see ugliness outside, you don't get your back, you don't see people in the court ("Yi" "Gen can't get his back to his body, he doesn't see his people in his court." Forget inside and outside, body and mind are one. It's hard! It's hard! I don't know what is the fruit of mountain farming? I don't know if the mountain farmers and fruits can roll for life? …… He is a well-known celebrity in the world, "Journey to the West" and so on [***], he commented that Luoyang paper was expensive, so as soon as this article came out, he entered Nanjing City the next day, which immediately caused a sensation, and then the plague spread all over the world, and immediately slapped almost all the officials with a big ear scraper.

At this time, the helmsman of the Cao Gang in Yangzhou, the daughter of the leader of the Cao Gang, was resolute, besieged hundreds of guards and soldiers for several days, and was so hungry that she had no strength, and she was all tied up from top to bottom, and she personally escorted her to Suzhou Mansion to ask to see Zheng Chengguan.
