Any character who has been up and down in the sea for decades will not mess around casually. Zhang Jing's actions seem to be very crazy, simple and rude, and the impact surface is huge, but when you think about it carefully, there is also a deep calculation behind it.

He dared to do this, first of all, because he had enough confidence, Zhang Jing had Li Dazai in charge of the Ministry of Officials behind him, and if he wanted to shake the officials at the level of Governor, he had to go through the Ministry of Officials, that is to say, Li Dazai was safe, and Zhang Jing was as stable as Mount Tai. And Li Mo has a good apprentice, Lu Bing, who is protected by Jinyiwei, and the smear and false accusations used by the Yan Party are all greatly discounted, and Mr. Zhang has the courage to give it a go.

At the same time, Zhang Jing also had his own views on the southeast Japanese rebellion.

The woe is rampant, the woe is in the city, the woe is in trade, and the woe is in trade!

As long as the people are like the beginning of the country, they cultivate the fields well, do not get any silk and porcelain, the hearts of the people are simple, do not covet small profits, the southeast is naturally peaceful, there is no money to attract, and the rebellion of the Japanese will naturally disappear......

Regardless of whether this set of ideas is right or not, at least Zhang Jing, including Li Mo behind him, has this view, and they represent the views of quite a lot of Ming bureaucrats and scholars. Although Tang Yi, Tang Shunzhi, and a large number of officials who have insight into the nature of the rebellion, they keep propagating and publishing books, but the inherent concepts are like weeds, even if the fire burns the plains, they will not be easily changed.

After understanding Zhang Jing's thoughts, and then looking at his measures, it is clear at a glance.

The purpose of checking the officialdom and rectifying the rule of officials is to interrupt the collusion between officials and businessmen, crack down on large households, and suppress maritime businessmen, in order to cut off smuggling. The purpose of reorganizing the army and strengthening its combat strength is to fight against the existing Japanese pirates.

All this converges into a sharp sword, taking advantage of the chaos in the southeast to kill the thousand-year-old demon Yan Ge, assisting Li Dazai to ascend to the throne, as long as the gentleman is in power, the villain retreats. Naturally, the world is peaceful......

"If everything in the world were so simple, maybe we wouldn't need to worry!" Tang Yi looked up to the sky and sighed, "The population of the southeast has increased by more than two or three times compared with the founding of the People's Republic of China, and cities have sprung up and the number has surged. A large surplus of labor has no fields to cultivate. can only rely on foreign trade to earn profits and feed the people in the southeast. Those maritime merchant clans are certainly hateful, but after all, they are related to the livelihood of hundreds of people, and rash attacks will only make the people unemployed, or even stranded at sea and become widows. ”

Tang Shunzhi nodded thoughtfully, but said with a wry smile: "What's the use of saying this, Zhang Butang won't listen to it." In his eyes, as long as it violates the ancestral system, it is a chaotic minister and thief, the Celestial Empire abandons the people, and he dies, and he doesn't care at all. ”

……

Tang Yi thought about it for a long time, but still sat on the chair decadently, holding his head.

Let's be honest. He began to dislike the so-called clean officials, and these people did not know how to be flexible. I don't understand practice, but I have grown into an elm head, and I would rather be stubborn than enter, and I will not enter the oil and salt. They do everything according to morality, you have a moral problem, everything you do is wrong. Holding the way of Confucius and Mencius. Holding the rules of the ancestors, self-righteous, like a hedgehog, he can't listen to persuasion at all.

And compared with corrupt officials, these people may be more harmful. Take the current southeast, for example. If Zhang Jing is allowed to continue, the anti-Japanese measures left by Wang Chen will be overturned, and millions of military salaries and thousands of soldiers' sacrifices will be wasted.

How much money will it cost, how many lives will be sacrificed, and how much time will be wasted to rebuild.

Let's ask, Zheng Yongchang, He Maocai, corrupt officials and moths like Sanyuan, I'm afraid the combined harm is not as good as a Zhang Butang!

But, but, but...... Will the world really think about this, Zhang Jing is honest and capable, and he is not afraid of power, he dares to confront Yan Song, standing opposite the wicked must be a good person, and if he is also against a good person, he must be bad. The magical standard of the Celestial Empire, even after hundreds of years, Tang Yi dares to say that Zhang Jing is definitely a positive character. The risks to be taken in fighting this old battle can be imagined.

Suddenly, Tang Yi unexpectedly discovered that Zhang Jing was simply a copper pea, which could not be steamed, cooked, pounded, fried, or exploded!

Hard things don't work, soft ones don't eat, let it go, the harm is unpredictable, and there is no way to stop it.

Even the smart Tang Shunzhi had no choice, so he could only spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that sooner or later Zhang Butang will repeat Zhu Kun's mistakes!" ”

Tang Yi's face turned pale, he suddenly patted the arm of the chair, gritted his teeth and said: "Although I hate Zhang Jing, I have to say that it is a person like him that I have a trace of conscience, no matter what, I can't watch him and the southeast go all the way together!" ”

A few words were loud and sonorous, and Tang Shunzhi's eyes suddenly lit up.

This is what he admires about Tang Yi, he has morality, conscience, and more methods!

"Say, what are you going to do, you kid will definitely help you as a teacher."

……

If you want to change Zhang Jing's mind, it is useless to rely on reasoning, he has more truth than anyone else. can only make the old man feel exhausted, and he can't do it, so he will retreat.

But how difficult it is to do that!

Tang Yi knew that his strength was far from enough, and he could only unite more forces. Not surprisingly, Tang Gongzi's summoning order appeared again in the rivers and lakes......

Last time, it was aimed at the big grain merchants in Hangzhou, but this time it was to expand the scope, and the gentry in the southeast, the wealthy businessmen, were all within the scope of his invitation.

The location is still selected in the Hongmei Pavilion, the sky is not yet dark, a small sedan chair appears around the Hongmei Pavilion, the gentry and businessmen wear green clothes and hats, mysteriously to the courtyard, the wide courtyard is set up more than 20 tables, more lively than the wedding invitation, look up, but have already sat most of the seats.

A number of rare characters arrived, chatting with each other, their faces full of worry.

Zhang Jing has already arrested seven maritime merchants and imprisoned hundreds of them, and the bureaucrats and gentry involved in them are as many as cattle hairs, and it can be said that if they really follow the vine and investigate thoroughly, at least one-third of those present will be killed.

For the safety of his own life, when he saw Tang Yi's invitation, how could he not come.

Before and after the hour, all the seats were full, Tang Yi appeared with a smile, sat in the middle, waved his hand, melodious music sounded, and the maids wore light gauze clothes and came up with delicious food.

The cups and plates are listed, and the wine is intoxicating, but the big guy is not interested at all, and he takes the wine glass and drinks it into his stomach, leaving only a stomach full of bitter water.

A short and fat silk merchant sitting in front said: "Tang Gongzi, even if it is the elixir and jade liquid, it is no longer tasteful, the big guy knows that you have great powers, calling for wind and rain and scattering beans into soldiers, but you must help us!" ”

Well, saying that he is a god stick, Tang Yi can't help but laugh.

"Everyone, don't be impatient." Tang Yi picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Big guy sitting here, you might as well look at each other, how much is each person worth, how many fields, how many workshops, and how many workers are employed?" ”

Listening to Tang Yi's words, everyone shrank their necks in fright, and said in their hearts, what does this mean, could it be that Tang Gongzi wants to help Zhang Butang and stew the big guy with a spoonful?

Frightened, the white hair sweat came out, and the two trembled, trembling.

"Hehe, don't get me wrong, big guy, I'm just letting everyone know in their hearts, we are not lambs to the slaughter. No matter how powerful Zhang Jing is, he can't go against so many people, if you get rid of all of you, Zhejiang will be over, think about it, isn't this the truth? ”

Don't really say it, as soon as Tang Yi said this, everyone woke up, among them, the least worth is more than 100,000 yuan, and some big families have farm houses and workshop fleets, adding up to more than 10 million.

Holding half of the land in Zhejiang, seventy or eighty percent of the workshops, millions of tenant farmers, and millions of weavers, if these people are unemployed, even if only one percent runs to become a widow, let alone the southeast, the Ming Dynasty will be over.

In the past, everyone was scattered, and their lives were tied to the official master, and they never faced up to their own strength, and when they heard Tang Yi say this, some people suddenly wanted to try.

We are so powerful, do we still need to be afraid of Zhang Jing, or do we all unite and bring down the old master?

"Ahem!" Tang Yi didn't want them to misunderstand, so he said solemnly: "Everyone is a law-abiding person, Zhang Butang's investigation of the bandits who are in the same way is justified, how can he just ignore his beak?" However, overkill, I am afraid that there are also roughness, which affects everyone's normal business. I think Zhang Butang is reasonable, as long as everyone tells me the difficulties, I will find a way to convey Zhang Butang and let him know. ”

"Thank you Tang Gongzi for that!"

Everyone was ecstatic, as if they had grasped a life-saving straw, and thanked them again and again.

Tang Yi smiled: "Don't worry, I will pass the word." The last time I mentioned that I wanted to practice the courage of the countryside, many gentry and virtuous people have already agreed, and they have also promised to contribute money and efforts. In this way, anyone who is willing to support Xiang Yong, please go to the room on the side, sign the agreement, and convert it into shares of the canal ticket number according to the amount of silver. As long as everyone becomes a shareholder, we are a family, and everything is negotiable. ”

Sure enough, there is no free lunch in the world, and if you want to use Tang Yi's power, you have to submit a name. The big guy hesitated for a moment, and a few businessmen took the lead in standing up.

"Everyone, if there is a village warrior under our subordinates, who would dare to catch it casually, even if it is for the sake of our lives, we are willing to listen to Tang Gongzi!"

After a whole night, the number of shareholders absorbed by the canal ticket number increased by more than 100, and the scale was more than tripled.

Enjoying the thrill of skyrocketing strength, Tang Yi had a happy smile on his face.

"Ladies and gentlemen, after we become shareholders, we have a lot of interests, that is, our own family. I don't hide it from you, Zhang Butang is an old stubborn, I want to persuade him, but I'm not sure. ”

What the?

At this moment, everyone present was fried, and the heart that had just been put down suddenly rose to their throats. If you don't bring such a trick, it's like memorizing a lot of dish names, and then telling people that they didn't bring money, which hurts people, hurts hearts, and hurts money!

We want a bad review, we want a refund!

Seeing that everyone looked like they were eating people, Tang Yi smiled again: "Everyone, although I can't persuade Zhang Butang, but if we join forces, we will have this certainty and let the old master bow his head." (To be continued.) )
