Just when General Zhongli Zhong was in contact with these guys who were fighting the world in Fusang, Yan Shannong was criticizing the methods of the good official, saying that his methods were a little too rough, just thinking about hitting people, but forgetting to win over allies, the old man Yan saw that the good official's face was a little unconvinced, and he also knew that the little guy was talented in the belly, and it was not easy to convince him, so he threw out a sentence at the moment, and it was suddenly like a thunder in the Ming army's standard landmine, which shocked the good official, and made Cheng Fuzi at a loss, and didn't know how to deal with himself.

"In the thirty-third year of Jiajing, Xu Gongxiang (Xu Lun, Zi Tingyi, Xuanda Governor, Military Department Shangshu, Prince Taibao, Jiliao Governor, after his death) served as Xuanda Governor, I also went to Shanxi to give lectures, the then King of Jin invited me to have a meal, during the banquet boasted that he was rich in the world, just the imperial court's Lu rice, every year is 900,000 stones." Yan Shannong's face was calm, "I was shocked, and when I turned around, I asked Xu Tingyi, how much grain does Shanxi finish in a year?" Xu Ting said that the grain in summer and autumn is about 2.8 million stone ......"

"I often go to Jiangnan to give lectures, Zhejiang Province has 2.75 million stones of grain every year, Suzhou and Songjiang are the highest in the world, and the summer and autumn grain of 4 million stones is huge, but Suzhou is prevalent, and the arrears are as high as five or six out of ten, which is not as good as Shanxi's ......" Yan Shannong has lectured in the world for decades, this is not a joke, it can be said that the entire Ming Dynasty is in his belly, and it is indeed not an exaggeration to say that he is a contemporary saint.

The obedient official opened his mouth and stammered, lying down, Suzhou people are really fierce! Since the founding of Zhu Chongba, he began to scold the imperial court for resisting taxes, and he read books in his previous life, and he admired the people of Suzhou, but now he listens to Yan Shannong's words, and then thinks about Su Songdao after the Manchu Dynasty entered the customs and Jiading Three Massacres, and honestly paid taxes to the Manchurians.

Poor people must have something to hate, the ancestors are honest and do not deceive me! The obedient official sighed and shook his head in his heart, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

At this time, Yan Shannong was still speaking, "...... The Shanxi clan supports the imperial court with 3.18 million stones of rice every year, and the rice supplied by Caoyun to the Jingshi is only 4 million stones, and the total amount of rice from the world is more than 8 million stones, this is still the account book of the Jiajing year, and now, I am afraid that it is more than 9 million stones, but you should say, you give your emperor brother-in-law money money, how much do you have to earn to support the Zhu family? ”

Cheng Shensi was sweating profusely, without it, Yan Shannong's words were simply rebellious for Cheng Fuzi, who received orthodox Confucian education, but Cheng Fuzi was also an upright Confucian, he had been teaching in Daxing County for almost 20 years, and he knew that Zhang Juzheng reformed the tax law, and the annual silver was only more than 2 million, plus rice and wheat in kind, almost about 4 million, but these more than 4 million, even if it was calculated according to one tael of silver and two stone rice, that is to say, Zhu Ming's clan had to eat up the taxes of the imperial court for a whole year every year...... Of course, the account mentioned by Yan Shannong was basically taken directly from the local tax, but this account still fell on the people after all.

The obedient official was speechless, Yan Shannong was aggressive, and continued: "The Shanxi clan has more than three million Lu rice a year, and the Henan clan has more than two million Lu rice a year, my old man dares to say a word, if the world is in chaos, it must start from these two provinces, there are so many clans in the world, and there are many relatives, you have collected the tax of merchants, and you are only singing against Jiangnan Wenchen, but you will one day receive the heads of the Xun Qi and the clan, how will you deal with yourself then?" If you don't accept it, how can the people of the world be convinced? ”

Cheng Fuzi held the wine glass, the obedient official put his hands on the legs and legs silently, Yan Shannong stared at the obedient official with wide eyes, and Kangu Risha, who was waiting next to him, also knew that what His Royal Highness was talking about was not trivial, so he didn't dare to approach the serving, and he didn't dare to step forward with the wine jug from a distance, so he had to put the wine jug in the wine barrel filled with hot water.

Listening to Yan Shannong's calculation, the obedient official deeply felt that he still thought about the demise of the Ming Dynasty too simply, this brilliant Ming Dynasty is by no means perishable with a wild boar Pinurhachi, and it is by no means something that can be destroyed by the Wenchen Party Struggle, the reason for this is that everything has to be counted, just like the clan that the old man Yan said, now raising the entire clan is nine million stones, even if it is calculated as a normal rice price, it will cost four and a half million taels of silver, and ten years is forty-five million taels, according to this algorithm, it will take another few decades, Da Ming must die.

No wonder later historians said that [Zhu Ming is not dead, it is unreasonable], like the people of Shanxi who can't afford to support the clan in Shanxi after a year of hard work, this mud horse is really unreasonable.

Sure enough, the feudal dynasty can only be said to be rotten one, the other is even worse, Zhu Ming is rotten, and when the Manchu Qing Dynasty comes to power, it will be even worse.

Although the Ming Dynasty is rotten, the scholars still dare to scold the court, and they can still open their mouths to speak, but in the Manchu Dynasty, under the rolling of people, the scholars don't even dare to scold the court, and only dare to kneel on the ground and brag about the past and present to the Holy Ming.

Many thoughts turned in his mind, and the obedient official was even a little excited, and Yan Shannong on the other side looked at the expression on his face, and suddenly secretly screamed that it was not good: It's not good, it's too alarmist, and it scared the little guy.

The old man's mind was turning, and he immediately slapped the table hard, shaking the wine and food on the table and jumping up, "The so-called prosperity of the country will be rewarded by the ministers of the world." You are doing a good job now, you can save the country......" He changed his words, and quickly bragged about the good official, I have to say that this guy is the person who is called a saint by the people in the market, and immediately returned the soul of what the good official said, and said in his heart that we are the people that God values, the protagonist template is in the body, I am afraid of who will come, I really can't do it, I can't go on, I can go to Fusang to open a shogunate to show off my might, the so-called do my best, obey the destiny of heaven, I have to do what I can do and what I should do.

Thinking of this, he stood up suddenly, and said to Yan Shannong deeply, "Please also ask the old gentleman to teach me." ”

Yan Shannong saw him on the ground, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he beckoned to Sugaya Risa and said, "Female doll, come, pour wine." Risa Sugatani suddenly carried the wine jug in one hand and the golden bun on his head with the other, and after walking quickly, he poured it full for the old man.

After drinking all the wine in the cup, Yan Shannong reached out to help the good official, "My old man will give you nine words, build a high wall, and accumulate grain......

"Slow to be king?" The obedient official stared at the embarrassed face with wide eyes, your nine words are too cheating! Who doesn't know!

"My old man will tell you carefully." Yan Shannong touched his beard and laughed, and the good official also felt that this old guy was also a contemporary saint, and it was impossible to fool people with Zhu Chong's nine-character scripture in the eighth century.

"Ponder, come, you and I have a drink." Old man Yan smiled and touched the cup with the sluggish Cheng Fuzi, drank it dry, and then took it for granted and reached over to let the good official pour him wine, the good official looked at him for this style, yes, now you are the uncle, so he pretended to be cute and smiled and gave the old man a smile.

Drinking the wine in the wine glass again, the old man Yan looked at the obedient official with wide eyes and said slowly: "Jingluo Kyushu is to build a wall for the high, and at the same time to fight the merchants, it is also necessary to win over the grain and slow down the king......" He said this, hehe smiled, and didn't continue.

Even so, the obedient official also shivered, you know, Kyushu is the foundation he relies on, if there is no huge sea power, who will buy his Uncle Zheng Guo's account, at this time he is really convinced that this old man is really a contemporary Confucianism, and his learning is not fake, and he can see through his Zheng Guofan at a glance.

He hurriedly smiled on his face and helped the old man fill the wine, "Old gentleman, please continue." ”

Yan Shannong stretched out his hand and tugged at the corner of his robe and lifted Erlang's legs, "You are now tossing and turning in the south of the Yangtze River, earning silver for the emperor, and there will be no big problem for a while, but this is always a matter of offending people, businessmen are profit-seeking, while you fight them, you must also give them a little sweetness, and now Kyushu Xuanfu envoy has tens of thousands, why don't you take the lead in collecting taxes on foreigners, divert the attention of domestic businessmen, and then arm the escort, so that my Ming Dynasty's silk, porcelain, Western sugar and other things are marketed in Little Luzon Malajia and other places......"

The obedient official's eyes lit up, and he blurted out: "Traveling with a sword." ”

"A sword-wielding merchant?" Yan Shannong chewed the word, stretched out his hand and tugged at his beard, "It's quite an image, you are really talented here, you can save the Ming Dynasty, my old man has seen countless talents for so many years, and that's it, Yu Zi is not enough to conspire, um!" That Chen Jiru kid is okay, but unfortunately, most of his ability is on that mouth, I heard Chen Jiru this kid say that Dong Qichang and you are like brothers, and he also knows the situation in the world, but he has never seen him, next time I call him to the old man to take a look, see if it can be done! ”

Throwing a piece of braised stew into his mouth and chewing it for a while, the old man continued while slapping his mouth: "As the so-called slap on the wrist to give a sweet date, you let these merchants make money, isn't it better to collect their taxes!" Even a little decentralization, to the court to the book, the establishment of the village elders, so that the local wealthy businessmen can participate in some local decision-making, this place on the court officials to take office, but also to visit the old squire, has become a fact, a few years ago Suzhou said to repair the city wall, countless businessmen are not behind the tinkering let Shen Shixing's son write a letter, and finally the city wall is not not built! The court decreed, but it was just one more name, but it allowed you to invite people to buy people's hearts, why not? ”

The obedient official nodded again and again, this, a bit of the meaning of the bicameral system in later generations, and immediately picked up what he could say, and the old man's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but look at him and said: "Sure enough, it is born to know, what you said is quite wonderful, my Ming scholars love to discuss and quarrel, and it is ......good to get a place for them to quarrel."

The more he thought about it, the more wonderful he felt, and clapped his hands and said: "Let these bickering people fight for this position, so as to save yourself from being restless all day long to impact the official mansion...... It's a good idea to control the quarrel within a certain range, and if you quarrel and quarrel, these boys will also mature, wonderful! Wonderful! ”

The obedient official looked at the old man's dancing hands, and couldn't help but remind him, "Old man, it's off topic, let's just talk about the Jiangnan businessman." ”

Old man Yan glared suddenly, "The erection is not enough and the plan, the old man is talking about a big plan, it is a national policy, be patient." ”

"Old man, this seems to have been conceived by me for you!" The good official couldn't help but sarcastically mock him, "Can you not go off topic and continue to talk about businessmen just now." ”

Cheng Fuzi sat next to him, looking at the old and the young, not big or small, and the topic of discussion was also unscrupulous and rebellious, and he really didn't know what to say for a while, but Cheng Fuzi was a little good, he knew that his current future was given by this student, not to mention, today's Daming did have a problem, but he didn't know where the problem was, since this old and young seemed to know where the problem was and tried to solve the problem, he still did his own thing, and he firmly held the Zhejiang Tixue Division, I'm afraid it's the only one who can help me as a student.

Thinking of this, Cheng Fuzi also wanted to open it, so he didn't care about the two of them, stretched out his chopsticks and grabbed a piece of mutton and chewed it tastefully, this was a year ago, where could he afford to eat mutton! On the county of Daxing County, the teaching of that little bit is lulu.

At this time, the old man and the young man seemed to be getting more and more noisy, Yan Shannong slapped the table, "Don't think that the old man doesn't know, the matter of Little Luzon, I'm afraid it has a lot to do with you, the old man said that you are impatient, you are really impatient, the methods are too rough, and you have no knowledge......

"Old man, you're not done." The obedient official's eyes widened, "I'm your boss, and you have my money, so you can't continue to say what you just said?" The two houses will discuss this later. ”

"Boy, old man, I am a generation of Confucianism, do you think you can buy me with silver alone? Besides, it's obvious that you kid digressed first. Yan Shannong blew his beard and glared, "Pour wine for the old man." ”

The obedient official opened his eyes and looked at him, the old man was not to be outdone, stretched out his hand and stretched out the wine glass in front of him, next to Sugatani Risa was timid, took the wine jug from the table and poured it for the old man, the old man was stubborn, and splashed the wine on the ground with his backhand, looked at the good official and said, "Give the old man a full." ”

Looking at his appearance, the obedient official couldn't help but snort, this old man, yes, you are ruthless.

"I'm just looking at you old." The obedient official took the flask from Risha Sugatani's hand, "It doesn't prove how high your reasoning really is." ”

"Old gentleman." Next to him, Risa Sugatani couldn't help but say to Yan Shannong, who was blowing his beard and glaring: "My Royal Highness is only fourteen years old, can you not bully my Highness!" ”

"If he hadn't been fourteen years old, how would I have looked down on him, old man." The old man gained face, raised his toes, took a sip of wine, and then continued: "In short, boy, let me tell you, what Uncle Zhang didn't do at the beginning, now it's all up to you, you have to remember, if you want the people to live well, the best way is to overthrow the past, but your kid identity is here, then you have to take a more difficult road, this road of power and ministers, but it is difficult to walk tightly, if you can't even accept the old man's idleness, in the future, some of you will be uncomfortable." ”

The obedient official was a little unconvinced, "This may not be true, in short, people respect me a foot and I respect people." ”

Yan Shannong laughed, "I hope you will always remember what you said, come on, let's continue, where did you just go?" When you're old, it's not good to remember your last name. ”
