Chapter 488: Opportunity

Everything that happened in the capital, Zheng Xunrui quickly got the news.

Xu Wanghua and others all expressed their congratulations, and the edict of the Ministry of Rites also came down quickly, Li Yan served as the county magistrate of Shanyin County, which is equivalent to Zheng Xunrui winning a complete victory, and Zhang Pu and others deliberately planned a conspiracy, which ended in vain.

At this time, Xu Wanghua thought of what Zheng Xunrui had said, that is, to start cleaning up the Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe in Huaibei, this matter is very necessary, although it is said that all over Huaibei, Donglin Academy has been very low-key, and even there is no trace on weekdays, but it is the safest way to completely eliminate the influence of the Donglin Party in Huaibei.

Without waiting for Zheng Xunrui to arrange, Xu Wanghua began to think about what to do.

Xu Wanghua's side, there are already several people, Wen Kun and Li Panlong are the most prominent people among them, the knowledge of the two is not very high, Li Panlong is a student, that is, a student who can enjoy the grain, although Wen Kun is also a student, but he is not eligible to enjoy the grain, but both of them are very flexible, and they also have special means to do things, no matter how difficult things are, they can always think of solutions, especially Wen Kun, big and small things can be handled.

This makes Xu Wanghua particularly emotional, sometimes knowledge can not represent everything, ability is the most important, lack of knowledge can be made up for by learning, and it can increase knowledge by dealing with many matters, but the ability is insufficient, although there is a belly of knowledge, it is not of much use.

How to get rid of Donglin Academy, so that the Restoration Society and the Ying Society can not carry out any activities in Huaibei, this is not a small difficulty, the government will definitely not be able to do it openly, then it will be at a disadvantage, Qian Shisheng and others in the capital, once they know that the Huaibei government has moved, they will definitely set off waves.

Wen Kun thought of a way, he started from the aspect of money and food.

Whether it is Donglin Academy, or Fusha and Yingsha, they want to carry out activities. Or teaching and educating people, always need to consume money and food, as long as you make a fuss about money and food, then you can cut off its economic resources. Once there is no money, it is naturally difficult to sustain itself, and as for those who support Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe, it is mainly businessmen, followed by scholars. The government can't directly move Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe, but it can move businessmen and even scholars.

Wen Kun mentioned this method, and Xu Wanghua praised it, once the merchants and scholars did not provide support in terms of money and food, Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe would definitely not be able to maintain.

The people of Huaibei have a high sense of identity with the government, which is also the backing for the government at all levels to do things boldly.

After all the discussions, Xu Wanghua decided to report to Zheng Xunrui.

Xu Wanghua took Wen Kun, Li Panlong, Liang Xingli and others into the Donglin Book House.

"Your Excellency. Regarding the matter of thoroughly cleaning up Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe, his subordinates have discussed it with Master Wen, Master Li, and Lord Liang, and have already prepared a statement for your Excellency to see. ”

When Zheng Xunrui took the paperwork, a smile appeared on his face.

"This time you actually took the initiative to find a way, it's very good, in fact, this time Wu Weiye patrolled Huaibei, it was a good opportunity, didn't the imperial court think that I and the Donglin Party pinched each other, then I will meet their wishes. In Huaibei, I think the emperor will be very happy after learning the news, but unfortunately I have another purpose. ”

After saying these words. Zheng Xunrui lowered his head and looked at the paperwork carefully.

A quarter of an hour later, Zheng Xunrui put the paperwork on the table, and a smile appeared on his face again.

"This plan is very good, everyone has to eat, they can't eat enough, and they still talk about reading and studying. From the aspect of money and food, cut off the source of Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe, and let them leave Huaibei automatically, this method is very good, even if it is Qian Shisheng and Hou Xun and others, they are helpless, but there is one thing, you need to think clearly, that is, after Donglin Academy and others leave Huaibei, how to unite these scholars. ”

After Zheng Xunrui finished speaking, Xu Wanghua spoke with some embarrassment.

"My lord, my subordinates have also considered this matter, it is not very easy to operate, if any other club is established, it will be considered by the imperial court to be a party for personal gain, which is counterproductive."

Zheng Xunrui laughed.

"This matter is very simple, expanding the scale of county schools, state schools and government schools, and absorbing more scholars to study, this is nothing more than some extra money and food, and the governor's palace can take out these money and food, as for what knowledge is taught in county schools, state schools and government schools, that is what we can control, so won't it unite the vast majority of scholars."

Xu Wanghua patted his forehead.

"My lord's method is excellent, so that Huaibei can produce more talents when he takes the township test and the meeting test."

"Yes, but one thing must be emphasized, those who are a teacher for a day and a father for life need to change, the gentleman who teaches knowledge is the real gentleman, the chief examiner of the township examination and the general examination, not a teacher, this must make many scholars understand that the proliferation of private affairs in the imperial court is all because of these understandings, the chief examiner is a member of the Donglin Party, and the people and Jinshi will join the Donglin Academy, and the examiner is a member of the Zhejiang Party, and the Jinshi will join the Zhejiang Party, so this practice, The disadvantages are too great. ”

Soon, the Caoyun Governor's Office issued a document, and the officials at all levels began to clean up all the merchants, focusing on cleaning up the situation of merchants donating money and grain, once they were cleaned up, the government dealt with it according to the situation, since the merchants had money and grain to donate, then they might as well donate some to the governments at all levels, and such donations should become a practice, as long as such a situation is found, then the merchants must donate to the government, of course, there is an exception, that is, donate to the poor people, such a situation, after the verification and participation of the government, It can be proposed to reward businessmen, and the government strongly supports it.

When this document was issued, many people felt strange.

But soon some people understood the significance of this move, after all, a lot of businessmen, every year to Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe donated a lot of money and food, this time the government cleaned up, these donations naturally popped up, you must know that businessmen need to bear the protection fee issued by Hongmen, but also to Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe donated money and food, it is already a little difficult, but also to donate to the government, then wouldn't it be bankrupt, but since Shangjia can donate to Donglin Academy, it is naturally rich, then it can also be donated to the government, Let the government help more people.

No one is stupid, and Shang Jia quickly understood the meaning.

In fact, the merchants of Huaibei have become very reluctant to donate to Donglin Academy, after all, Huaibei is completely controlled by the Governor's Palace, and the Donglin Party people do not have the slightest status here, and they cannot protect the interests of Shangjia, and Shangjia must pay protection fees to Hongmen.

This time, the government cleaned up, which just gave many businessmen reasons to be reluctant to continue to donate to Donglin Academy and others.

The second is the scholar, this also applies to the scholar, your scholar is not rich, well, you are willing to donate, the government is welcome, but you don't forget the government, the government is so busy every day, but also to protect the interests of many scholars, then you must also donate to the government, if you are not willing to donate, you can also, the government will not be reluctant, but the government lacks money and food, doing things will definitely have an impact, then what happened to your scholar's family, the government may not be able to take care of it.

Everyone knows that Hongmen is directly controlled by the Governor's Palace, and Hongmen also directly controls the forces in various places, whether it is the underworld or the white way, you must listen to the Hongmen, otherwise you will not be able to gain a foothold in Huaibei, these white and underworld will not care what kind of scholar you are, and when the thief comes to the mansion and causes heavy losses, then there is no place to reason.

The effect of this hand is very good, almost overnight, Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe, lost any financial resources, without money and food, they can't maintain it at all, in fact, the scholars and businessmen also understand that the Governor's Mansion is to target Donglin Academy and so on, it is no wonder that the Governor, you Donglin Party people have set off a lot of storms in the imperial court, just thinking about dealing with the Governor, people are now dealing with you, that is also a matter of course.

During this period, Qian Qianyi went to Nanjing to find Liu Zongzhou, the secretary of the Ministry of War, hoping that Liu Zongzhou could intervene, but Liu Zongzhou clearly refused, and Liu Zongzhou naturally knew about what happened in the court, and he would not mix it in, and he was not used to the practices of Qian Shisheng and Hou Xun and others in the court, not to mention that there were lessons from the four sons in front of him.

Qian Qianyi and others, including Qian Shisheng and Hou Xun and others, could only watch all this happen, watching Donglin Academy, Fushe and Yingshe move out of the four prefectures and three states in Huaibei, which was a heavy blow to them.

This matter soon spread to the imperial court, and the emperor did not say anything, or even ask.

Gao Qiqian, who has returned to the capital and served as the governor of Dongchang, wrote a letter to Zheng Xunrui, and in the letter, he also mentioned the views of the DPRK and China on this matter, and there are not many people in favor and many people who oppose it, but the vast majority of people are silent and have no attitude.

This made Zheng Xunrui very happy, I thought that the Donglin Party would fight back vigorously, but I didn't think there was any movement, it seems that the words of the scholar who rebelled for ten years are reasonable, it seems that the powerful Donglin Party people are actually weak in their bones, of course, the tough Donglin Party people must exist, but unfortunately the number is too small, and Zheng Xunrui is ready to do things, so that the Donglin Party people can't find any flaws.

After experiencing the affairs of Li Yan and the Red Lady, Zheng Xunrui has already become extremely stable in doing things. (To be continued.) )
