Listening to Zhang Yuliang's bid so refreshing, Yang Fan couldn't help but glance at him suspiciously, when did this old man become so generous? How much land can his family have? It's not even a hundred tilts, why would you pay for yourself?

With a slight groan, Yang Fan said, "Shibo, why are you suffering?" So many people who hang thousands of cards have not come forward, why do you want to come out of this? Besides, there are still many children of Jiangning Jinjin who are officials in the court, so why should Shibo be troublesome? ”

Zhang Yuliang was entrusted by a group of gentry in Jiangning, and immediately said: "Someone has to come forward in everything, no, the old man's move is just throwing bricks and attracting jade." ”

Seeing that Zhang Yuliang's mouth was tight, Yang Fan frowned and said: "If it's not for my nephew, it's really very risky, otherwise, my nephew will write a piece of Ming and die in a whip law, how about it?" ”

"How useful can it be to tickle your boots." Zhang Yuliang said dissatisfiedly, knowing that he was afraid of the lack of silver, so he paused slightly, and said: "If you don't want my nephew to say the number." ”

"Ningbao is now not what it used to be, and there are not many people who are in a hurry to invite guests, and now a good table costs dozens of taels." Yang Fan said, then unceremoniously stretched out a slap and said: "Fifty taels, see the newspaper two hundred taels, nephew, this is a desperate future, don't do it for Shi Bobo once." ”

After more than ten years of exams, he is still a poor talent, what future is there, Zhang Yuliang secretly despised it, but his face was full of smiles, and his wrinkles were like a walnut. As he spoke, he took out a silver ticket worth one hundred taels.

The two articles of "Ming Zhi's Death in a Whip Law" and "On the Disadvantages of Spreading Ding into Mu" were quickly placed on the desk of Lang Yanji, the governor of Liangjiang, Lang Yanji read it carefully, and then picked up the article "On the Disadvantages of Shanxi's New Deal", and pondered for a long time before saying: "It's better to make a transition, these two articles will go first, and 'On the Disadvantages of Shanxi's New Deal' will be postponed for two days." ”

"Ming's Death Depends on a Whip Law" and "On the Disadvantages of Spreading Ding into Mu" were published in Ningbo Daily, and when they were published, they stirred up a thousand waves with one stone, causing huge repercussions. The article "Mingzhi died in a whip law" offended the gentry from a whip law. As a result, the Ming Dynasty lost the support of the vast number of gentry, and the reasons for the death of the Ming Dynasty were expounded from the point of view. And "On the disadvantages of apportioning the land into the mu" pointed out sharply that the apportionment into the mu is actually a continuation of a whip law, and it is also to infringe on the interests of the gentry to enrich the taxes of the imperial court.

When the Jiangnan gentry, who already had an opinion on the spread of the law, saw these two articles, they were as excited as if they had been beaten with chicken blood, and no one would have thought that Ning Bao would be so bold, not only daring to violate the taboos of the imperial court, but also daring to criticize the new policies of the imperial court. In addition to the joy, a group of gentlemen asked the gunmen to write articles to echo them, hoping to make the momentum as big as possible, not only that, but many gentlemen took the initiative to sponsor the Ningbo newspaper to expand the scale of printing, and strive to be able to issue it once a day.

The great debate between Beijing and Ningbo is becoming more and more intense. All the officials and gentlemen in Jiangning City are also more and more interested in the Beijing Newspaper and the Ningbo Daily, and the attention to the Beijing Newspaper is also getting higher and higher.

The decisions of the imperial court have always been unquestionable, and the implementation of the new policy of apportioning the land into the mu is even more intolerable, and the Ning Bao dared to openly publish an article questioning the disadvantages of the apportionment of the land, and naturally they couldn't wait to see how the Beijing Daily would refute it. At the same time, they all want to see how far Ning Bao can go. See how this debate will end. Of course, what everyone wants to know more is what is the bottom line of the court's patience.

Don't wait for the Beijing News to fight back. Early the morning two days later, Ning Pao then published an article entitled "On the Drawbacks of Shanxi's New Deal," which pointed out that Shanxi Province was experimenting with the integration of officials and gentry to pay grain and work as an errand in one manner, which was tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, and the whole of Jiangnan was a sensation, and the post stations in various places were extremely busy, and the fast horse and fast boats that delivered the Ningbo Bao were constantly shuttling, and the Beijing Bao and the Ning Bao were all transmitted between Beijing and Ningbo at an expedited speed of 600 miles.

As long as they have meritorious fame, they can be exempted from taxes and forced labor, which is the privilege of the gentry, and it is also the honor and dignity of the gentry.

Nowadays, the scientific examination is becoming more and more difficult, and it is even more difficult to enter the imperial examination, and then abolish the privilege of the gentry to be exempt from taxation, what is the use of studying? Although the officials and gentry are only trying to pay grain in one piece, and the one errand is only being tried in Shanxi at present, it was only tried in Guangdong before the apportionment into the mu, but it has been popularized in Jiangnan in just two years, how can they not be worried?

However, one day, the Beijing newspaper that arrived in Jiangning also published an article on Shanxi's trial of the new policy, but it was more comprehensive than that of the Ning newspaper, which listed in detail the various measures of Shanxi's trial of the new policy, not only the official gentry paid grain and errands, but also abolished the expropriation of consumption and envy, and the gentry's right to supervise local officials, and explained in detail one by one.

The Beijing Daily's comprehensive introduction to Shanxi's new policy is just a little comfort for a group of officials and gentry, and it is just a matter of paying less than one or two percent of the money and grain, and supervising the supervision power of local officials, which is too mysterious, and has never heard of it since ancient times, who knows if it can be implemented, and even if it can be implemented, it can only ensure that they do not pay unjustly money.

The gentry are dissatisfied, the officials are frightened and resentful, from the Beijing division to the local officials see the article of taking the consumption of envy, they are all shocked, angry and hateful, take the consumption of envy, the state and county officials can not justifiably scrape the people's wealth, the state and county officials have no place to make money, the government officials, the local governors naturally have no one to respect, the Beijing officials' ice and charcoal and worship and the like are naturally impossible to say, no money to be an official? Just rely on the little money raised by the imperial court, and the manor subsidized overseas, how much can it be?

The articles against the New Deal in the Ning Newspaper were immediately overwhelming, and even the articles against the apportionment of the land into the mu also increased violently, quoting scriptures one by one, from the tax system of the Qin and Han dynasties to the tax system of Shunzhi Kangxi, and tried their best to refute and criticize the evil of the New Deal, and praise Kangxi's leniency.

Zhenwu, who had already arrived in Baoding Mansion, couldn't help but smile slightly after seeing the latest Ning Bao, and then said in a deep voice: "Quickly pass on the Qingbeile Yinyu, and the Beijing News will temporarily stop fighting. ”

Qingbeile Yinyu was busy during this time, and after receiving Zhenwu's edict, the whole person was immediately relieved, Zhenwu returned to Beijing, and his hard life came to an end.

For Shanxi's trial of the new policy, the officials, gentry and businessmen of the Beijing division were also a voice of opposition, and they all waited hard to see any refutation from the Beijing newspaper, but the Beijing newspaper suddenly stopped moving, and the officials and gentlemen of the Beijing division couldn't help but be suspicious, I don't know what the reason is, but everyone knows that the Beijing newspaper cannot admit it.

In the midst of the suspicion of the Jingshi, Zhenwu hurried back to Changchun Garden.

After receiving the rumor, Prince Lian Yinxi, Yijun Wang Yinxiang, Qingbeile Yinyu, Zhang Pengxi, Xiao Yongzao, Song Zhu and others hurried to the front hall of Changchun Garden.

For this big debate between Beijing and Ningbao, several people knew that this was manipulated by Zhenwu, but they were a little puzzled, why did Zhenwu act like this?

Look at the current situation, it seems to be a little out of control, the government and the opposition, the officials, gentlemen and businessmen are all strongly opposed to the new policy, and now it has become a difficult situation to ride a tiger, and I don't know whether Zhenwu still has a back hand, or can no longer be manipulated, if such a huge debate is a tiger, or completely out of control, it will be a big blow to the majesty of the royal family and the reputation of the imperial court.

Just when everyone was secretly thinking about it, Bao Fu, the chief eunuch who had been idle for two months, walked out with all his spirits, glanced at everyone, and then he raised his voice calmly: "The emperor has a decree to announce that all the adults will meet you." ”

Prince Lian Yinxi hurriedly led everyone into the main hall, and several people knelt down and said: "Minister Yinxi and others respectfully invite the emperor to Sheng'an." ”

Zhenwu glanced at a few people, and said with a smile: "No courtesy, give a seat." ”

After a few people sat down, Yinxi smiled and said: "The emperor went out to patrol Jinshan, and he saw that the Qing was reduced and darkened, but he was more energetic. ”

"I ride and drive every day, all of them are above a hundred miles, the wind and the sun are exposed, and black spots are inevitable." Zhenwu smiled slightly.

Yinxiang bowed and said: "The emperor has worked state affairs, in just two months, he has traveled thousands of miles back and forth, and the ministers can't follow him, he is really guilty, the emperor is the body of a daughter, and he should also focus on the dragon body." ”

Seeing that a few people were playing the right pattern, Zhenwu knew that a few people would have to persuade him next, so he waved his hand and said with a slight smile: "This patrol is in a hurry. As he spoke, he asked, "How is the situation in Jingshi?" ”

"Back to the emperor, everything is fine." Yin Yu hurriedly bowed and said.

Zhenwu nodded slightly, and then said: "I have ordered five times not to embezzle the money and grain for disaster relief, but the two provinces of Shanxi and Shanxi are still turning a deaf ear, misappropriating and deducting the disaster relief money and grain for the river without authorization, and the local deficit is also appalling. Now the government and the opposition, the officials and gentlemen are strongly opposed to the apportionment of the land and the new policy in Shanxi, how do you think to deal with it? ”

Hearing this, several people secretly slandered themselves, how to deal with it? Didn't you single-handedly plan the big debate between Ning Bao and Beijing Bao? Zhang Pengxi bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, it is really the best policy for public opinion to guide positively." ”

Yinxiang continued: "Your Majesty, the minister is stupid, and Ningbao is also the public opinion organ of the imperial court in Jiangnan, why don't you guide it positively, but do the opposite?" (To be continued.) )
