Chapter 704: Show of Strength
Yang Junmin is the eldest son of Yang Bo, the second class jinshi in the forty-first year of Jiajing, as a new generation of figures of the Jin Party, the successor of the mantle, Yang Bo is very attentive to teach Yang Junmin.
In addition to dealing with complicated government affairs, he always called his son to his side and asked carefully to see if he had grown.
After dinner, Yang Bo called his son into the study again, and the family sent a pot of jasmine double smoked, and before he poured it out, he could smell the fragrant aroma, but Yang Junmin pursed his lips slightly, with a thief smile.
Yang Bo's face sank, and he said angrily: "What, do you think the tea is not good?" Or do you think your dad won't drink it? ”
"Why, the child doesn't dare to think so, the most fragrant tea in the capital is the best, and the top jasmine is the best for smoking tea!" Yang Junmin poured himself a bowl as he spoke, quickly took a big sip, stretched out two thumbs, and kept shaking.
"Ball!" Yang Bo scolded with a smile: "Don't pretend to be garlic, jasmine double smoke is a good thing in an ordinary wealthy family, but it is not worthy of our family, Jiangnan's Longjing, Bird's Tongue, Tieguanyin, and melon slices are all the best teas, I also heard that someone in the southeast has re-found the process of Longfeng group tea, tsk, a piece of tea cake, several times more expensive than gold!" ”
Yang Junmin laughed dryly, "Dad is really powerful, nothing can be hidden from your old man's eyes, to say that the dragon and phoenix group tea, the child did follow a few friends of the same family to drink, pick the tip of the new tea, steaming, will have picked the ripe buds and then removed, only take a wisp of its heart, with a treasure to store the spring stains, bright and clean, if the silver thread, in order to make a square inch of the new hair, there is a small dragon winding on it, the dragon garden wins the snow, there are poems to praise and say: Miyu inch underworld, into a new fan. Return to the full moon, the momentum of the dragon is beginning to rise......"
Yang Junmin shook his head, his face was intoxicated, as if he was still reminiscing about the fragrance of tea, and he was intoxicated.
"The wealth of Jiangnan, sure enough!" Yang Bo sighed, "Bozhang, there are a lot of scholars in the southeast of your department, how are they capable?" And how many talents are available? ”
When it came to the topic, Yang Junmin's face was serious and he didn't dare to laugh.
"Back to Daddy, the scholars in the southeast are indeed a little different."
"What's the difference?"
"Take the dragon and phoenix group tea as an example, the production is cumbersome, the process is complicated, and the cost is very large. Some people in the southeast spent ten years to recreate the dragon group, and the scholars in the southeast were enthusiastically pursued, they said that some people grow tea, some people are willing to drink tea, how much silver is used, you are willing to do it, and what does it have to do with the imperial court......"
Yang Junmin started with the Dragon Regiment, and constantly introduced the views of the Southeast Shizi to his father.
Yang Bowei closed his eyes and listened carefully, he tasted far more things from this than Yang Junmin.
For example, Confucianism has always advocated thrift and housekeeping, so Zhu Yuanzhang dismissed the Dragon Regiment, and in the past, the scholars mentioned it only to express a pity, but now, the scholars in the southeast directly shouted that spending money to drink tea is not a matter of the imperial court.
Having money is not a sin, and the imperial court should not control the lives of ordinary people, and even the sacred ancestral law is not so important in their eyes.
Since ancient times, there has been no shortage of strange heroes who flout etiquette and behave perversely, but such a large-scale deviance, and others take it for granted, it is really impressive and thought-provoking.
The Southeast is indeed different!
Yang Bo sighed from the bottom of his heart, Tang Yi's young and chic figure unconsciously floated in front of him, that kid is really a demon, he has not yet ascended to the supreme throne, he has stirred up the world and affected the southeast, I am afraid that Wang Yangming does not have this ability, it is really impressive.
In fact, Yang Bo thought highly of Tang Yi, how could he have such great ability alone, but he did add fuel to the fire and make some things grow stronger in advance.
……
After the opening of the sea, commerce and trade flourished, workshops were everywhere, and a large amount of gold and silver poured in, which made the southeast undergo earth-shaking changes, and various new occupations and new rich people emerged one after another.
In the past, scholars learned literature and martial arts, and sold goods to the emperor's family, leaving only a single-plank bridge for the imperial examination. In addition to the imperial examination, senior accountants, legal talents, and skilled craftsmen in today's southeast are all in demand. People no longer study to become officials, but to better improve themselves, broaden their horizons, and learn skills.
In addition, the development of the textile industry, so that more and more women out of the house, become weavers, from the initial incomprehension, abuse, to accept calmly, in recent years, the southeast is more female workers everywhere, women are no longer dependent on men, they can make money independently, support themselves and their families.
Economic independence brought about the improvement of women's status, and Wei Liangfu even founded the first women's school in Hangzhou. Previously, a woman died of her husband, and once she remarried, she would be scolded for stinking, but now, people are becoming more and more tolerant, young, with hands and feet, why guard a dead ghost and be blind for a lifetime......
All these phenomena together are actually the inevitable development of industry and commerce and the prosperity of the city.
For example, in the 40 years of Jiajing, the population of Suzhou and Hangzhou has exceeded 1 million, while in Shanghai County, in just five years, it has increased from 100,000 to 800,000, and the momentum of population growth has not diminished in the slightest.
In another ten or eight years, a large number of cities in the southeast will be much larger than the capital, with a population of one million or two million.
A city has more people than many Western countries, and with the expansion of the city, the citizen class has risen, and they are completely different from the traditional peasants.
The countryside is a clan system, no matter how big the matter is, a few clans can be settled.
Adhering to the concept that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, he did not say anything about the loss, encountered something, complained to his relatives, and passed.
But when I arrived in the city, everything changed, and I was surrounded by strangers, and there was no respected clan elder who could help solve the conflict. Everyone's hopes are pinned on the imperial court, as well as those who are outstanding in learning.
Invisibly, the people have a strong interest in politics and the world.
They long for the stability of the country and the government of the government, and they hate corrupt officials and hateful officials......
People living in this era, I'm afraid that no one except Tang Yi can understand the meaning of social changes, even Tang Yi sometimes can't help but be dumbfounded.
……
For example, this time, with Lin Run's book, newspapers from all over the country started together, introducing the Yan Ne family to engage in smuggling, making a lot of profits, and framing Zhongliang, almost beating Mr. Yu to death.
The damage caused by the Japanese to the people in the southeast is still the same, and there are still many pirates and pirates in the southeast who are in trouble, and many people have relatives in their families who have died in the hands of the Japanese invaders.
What is the meaning?
Let the Japanese take the sword made of iron and kill our relatives?
Yu Lao is always the patron saint of the big guys, waiting for him to exterminate the Japanese and return the southeast to peace! The court said that they would arrest the people, so they were arrested, and there was no reason for them.
Then they set up a private torture hall and crippled people, what are you going to do?
is such a dumb official, how can he still have the face to take the people's fat and people's anointment?
We want him to die!
Yan Ne's hometown in Changshu was surrounded, but fortunately, the government dispatched in time, otherwise the angry people would have set fire to their homes directly.
The government worked hard and finally persuaded the people to leave, but everyone's anger has not yet been vented. Soon someone proposed to send a letter to the court.
Everyone's enthusiasm was detonated at once, and soon stalls appeared at various street corners, and scholars in Confucian shirts held pens and collected people's signatures.
In less than half a month, there were 80,000 people in Suzhou City alone, and the roster just by handprint was a thick stack. In the entire southeast, I am afraid that there are more than one million people co-signed.
Compared with the previous letters from the governors of the nine sides and the southeast, this time the momentum is even greater, and the effect is even more amazing.
There will be such a warm situation, which is inseparable from the organization of the Xinxue sect, and more importantly, this case touched the red line in the hearts of the two people.
The first is to frame Zhongliang, the turmoil and resentment, and the people do not allow Yue Fei's tragedy to happen again in Daming.
The second is the Liaison Wai, how deep the damage caused by the Waiko to the southeast, how much the people hate the people for the Confusing.
The two bottom lines have been touched, and the cabinet has been implicated, and the anger of the people can no longer be contained. When the joint letter of millions of people was sent to the capital by Kuaima.
Including Tang Yi, they were deeply shocked, the water can carry the boat or overturn the boat, it is really an eternal wise saying. Compared with the people, the pressure exerted by the officials before was simply a drizzle and a storm of teapots, which is not worth mentioning.
Jiajing, who had been living in Xiyuan before, couldn't sit still.
He walked barefoot and around on the ground, irritated.
When I thought of millions of people, I actually joined the book, my heart was heavy, and I was strongly afraid, if someone with a heart climbed up and shouted, would there be a million yellow scarves and directly overthrow the world?
Jiajing became more and more frightened, and he was so angry that he wanted to explode.
Xu Jie, Xu Jie, you rice bucket, waste, stupid...... I handed over the world to you, and you repay my trust like this? Unjust cases, complications, and chaos in the southeast, you repay me like this?
After scolding Xu Jie, Jiajing remembered another person, that is Tang Yi!
Jiajing's narrow eyes flashed with a fierce light, could it be that you are making trouble behind your back? If you really did it, I can't keep you because I can incite millions of people!
Jiajing gritted his teeth and roared, "Huang Jin, go and call Tang Yi to me." ”
Huang Jin hurriedly agreed, he yelled in his heart that it was not good, when he ran outside, he almost fell, he and Tang Yi were two grasshoppers on a rope right now, they couldn't run me, they couldn't jump on you.
If Jiajing really angered Tang Yi and abolished him, wouldn't he be unlucky?
Huang Jin was worried, but Tang Yi's staff were full of confidence, Wang Yin didn't know where to find a feather fan, and while dangling, he smiled and said: "My lord, this time the joint letter is so powerful, it is really unexpected, I dare to say, even if Your Majesty knows that it was the adult's doing, I am afraid that I will not dare to touch the adult, otherwise their Zhu family's country will be completely finished!" ”
Tang Yi was full of black lines, "I said Shiyuegong, you still have to think about it, how to explain to Your Majesty?" I feel that this time the strength is used too much, and it is very troublesome! (To be continued.) )
