The Nishiyama Annex is much more empty than before. The children are nowhere to be found, and there are only about 30 members of the family who train here.

"Young master, the things you explained have been done!" Wang Er walked back in the dust, but he looked very energetic.

"Well, in the next half a year, we must be cautious and cautious every step, so it's hard for you." Zhang Hongbin said with a smile.

"It's okay, I used to live in a mess, but now I have a goal in life. Now that I think about it, I only feel that the previous thirty years were in vain. Wang Er scratched his head honestly.

Zhang Hongbin was his mentor, leading him to a higher level, allowing him to see many scenery that he had not seen before. In the past few months, he has traveled all over the surrounding forces, and at the same time, he has seen through the sad situation of 'Zhumen's wine and meat stinky road with frozen bones'.

The people are struggling to death, but the dignitaries in the city, and even those squires with a bit of status, are still living a good life of drunkenness and dreams. I used to take this for granted, I didn't have the ability to buy land, I didn't have the knowledge to test people, and I deserved to suffer. Now I feel that it is not necessarily inevitable that I am so bitter. When a country sees that the people are so hard, it does not give any help, not to mention, and also increases the exploitation of the people, which is inherently contrary to the responsibility that a country should bear.

In fact, he also understood that the princes of the court, including the emperor, were afraid that they were too lazy to take on their obligations. If there are rights to be enjoyed, why bother with the so-called obligations? Obligation means giving, and who likes to give? Not to mention, even if you don't pay, you can get what you want.

After thinking about it, he followed the third young master with an iron heart to take the promising path of rebellion. During this time, he listened to the teachings of the Third Young Master, and he admired the Third Young Master's knowledge, especially in his understanding of the world and the country. Since the third young master is so capable, it won't be wrong to anticipate the fact that Da Ming is about to die, right?

"It's just that young master, I just can't figure it out, when the spring is paid, the people are afraid that they can't bear to rebel. But why, do we have to wait until the autumn is time to do it? Wang Er finally raised questions.

"Because the person who now directs the country and decides the policies of the imperial court is still Wei Zhongxian...... If he doesn't step down, this fire can't be burned. Zhang Hongbin shook his head.

In fact, he also miscalculated the time of Zhu Youzhen's accession to the throne at the beginning, this year is indeed the first year of Chongzhen, but he only ascended the throne in August, and then changed the yuan. In fact, it was not until next year in 1628, after the eradication of the Wei Party, that Zhu Youzhen completely lost control of the Ming Dynasty politics, and the place was severely harmed by the Donglin Party, which forced the people to rebel.

In the spring of this year, everyone's life may still be very difficult, but since Wei Zhongxian is still in power...... I'm afraid that this prince will not sit back and watch the people suffer.

It is not denied that he is a corrupt official, and he is a heinous person no matter how he looks at it in charge of government affairs. In fact, in the most difficult period of Daming, this person still insisted on dealing with the disaster and helping the people in poor areas, which has a certain relationship with his humble background.

History is written only for the victors, but the historians are all readers. Wei Zhongxian is a eunuch, and he is very good at standing on the opposite side of the scholar. Therefore, as the biggest enemy of the scholars, Wei Zhongxian's reputation in the Ming Dynasty can only get worse and worse, and the scholars will put the most evil and ruthless terms on his head.

"Young master, I don't understand what you said, now it is said everywhere that Wei Zhongxian monopolizes the government and does not take the emperor in his eyes, but is the culprit of the disaster to the country and the people...... Why has it become our savior in your mouth? Wang Er couldn't figure it out.

"The guidance of public opinion is also the key to the country's rule. Let's just say that in the past, if they hadn't constantly guided you, saying that it was natural for the people to pay taxes on cultivated land, would you have obediently paid taxes on cultivated land? Similarly, in some people, mainly those officials who were born in scholars, they also have their own interests, and now they also have the right to guide public opinion in the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, in the guidance of public opinion, it will inevitably guide them to favorable places. Zhang Hongbin knew that Wang Er's vision was still almost, so he told the truth of the matter.

"I understand, those who are officials feel that Wei Zhongxian is in the way of their affairs! As long as Wei Zhongxian falls, they will be qualified to regain control of the government and gain higher authority! In order to achieve this goal, it was originally a good thing that Wei Zhongxian did, so he put it on their body through guò guidance; And the bad things they did were to guide public opinion and splash dirty water on the so-called eunuchs! "Wang Er didn't learn it for nothing, he quickly understood.

"Yes, Wei Zhongxian is very in the way, and his storage zài is also in the way of mine!" Zhang Hongbin sighed.

"Then, why can there be an incident again when the autumn is full?" Wang Er couldn't figure it out.

"When the time comes, you will know that there are some things that you have to think about for yourself, and I may not completely sue you!" Zhang Hongbin said angrily.

If you let your subordinates make their thoughts clear, how can you maintain the majesty that a superior should have?

Wang Er didn't speak anymore, just went down to rest, and after a few days, he left the Xishan Annex with a batch of supplies.

Looking at the figure of Wang Er leaving, but inside his head was the scene in the supermarket, and looking at the upgrade balance of five hundred taels, Zhang Hongbin smiled bitterly.

In the blink of an eye, the time for spring has arrived.

The Ming Dynasty levied taxes twice a year, especially during the Wanli period, which began to levy Liao, which made the people miserable.

There was a big drought last year, and there were not a few rains this year, so everyone knows that this year is just afraid that it will be ...... again Seeing that there is only a little emergency food left at home, ordinary people will not use it at all unless they have to. But now everyone is entangled, seeing that the spring fu is about to be handed over, and there is only this thing left at home, whether to pay this spring fu or not?

Just when everyone was confused, the imperial court issued another edict, saying that last year, Shaanxi was drought, and the imperial court took pity on the people for not living well, so this year it was also tax-free.

At that moment, people from all over Shaanxi cheered.

"Let's say, Wei Zhongxian's house is really in the way." Zhang Hongbin was in the crowd, turned around and patted Wang Er's shoulder and said.

"Well, it's really a hindrance...... But as a former citizen, I don't seem to hate this kind of obstruction. Wang Er said very pertinently.

"The premise is that he can always control the government. However, in fact, after so long of compromise, those scholars have been very disappointed in the emperor. Zhang Hongbin shrugged his shoulders and said with a gloating expression.

"What does this have to do with Wei Zhongxian?" Wang Er really couldn't figure it out.

"August, you'll wait for an answer." Zhang Hongbin shook his head and left directly without looking back.
