"Calm down, he said that this method is difficult to do, the gentry are the foundation of imperial power, at this critical moment, the emperor does not go to the civilian chaos, but competes with the gentry, doesn't that force the people who were still on his side to the opposite side? This method he said would not have been done at all, and it would not have been possible to do it! The boy quickly came to his senses and found a reason to comfort himself.

After the boy stabilized his mind, he became curious about the second method, the first method is too bloody and too difficult to implement, maybe the second method is much better?

"What about the second method?"

Gu Renyun spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said: "The second method is similar, since the root of the problem is that the civilians at the lower levels can't afford to eat, then the only way to do this is to kill all the people who can't eat, so that the source of cholera will be solved!" ”

"Shhh The boy gasped, and although he was not involved this time, he still felt a chill. How many civilians are there who can't eat?

Now the north is basically in chaos, at least tens of millions of civilians are unable to eat because of the war, it can be said that in the north, there are many more civilians who cannot eat than can eat!

In other words, in order to achieve the goal mentioned by Gu Renyun, it basically means that the north must be basically slaughtered!!

The boy couldn't help but ask, "Do you know what you mean?" That represents ......"

Gu Renyun suddenly interrupted as if he remembered something:

"Oh yes, even if all the civilians who can't afford to eat are killed, it will only be a temporary solution, because the remaining civilians are only struggling to make ends meet, and will the gentry stop exploiting those civilians because of this lesson? Of course not, so it won't be long before there will be conflicts! ”

After listening to Gu Renyun's words, the young man suddenly put the questions he hadn't finished asking before, and he asked unconvinced: "Listen to what you mean, is it that this war is all the fault of the gentry class?" ”

Gu Renyun asked in surprise: "Do you think this is not about the gentry class?" So whose fault do you think it is? ”

"Of course it's the Emperor's fault! This kind of great uprising that swept the whole country was all because the emperor did not know people and appointed traitors, resulting in corrupt officials and corrupt officials running rampant, and the people of the world were miserable. In addition, the royal extravagance and waste have no limits, and the treasury is empty, as long as there is a natural disaster, the imperial court has no money to provide disaster relief, and this situation of smoke is suddenly formed. The boy did not hesitate to put the accepted theory out of the world.

Gu Renyun was speechless for a moment, this gentry class has a good ability to shake the black pot and brainwash, the other party seems to be very reasonable, even he almost believes it......

At that moment, Gu Renyun was a little angry, the other party's concept has been propagated for a long time and is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, it is difficult for him to persuade others to reverse this long-standing inherent concept, especially when the other party is still a gentry class, you want to convince others to make people agree that the chaos in the world is not the emperor's pot, but theirs...... Is it possible?

But the last spirit of not admitting defeat came back, "I don't believe it, I can't fight you heroes!" Well...... Just start by convincing the flowers of this gentry class! ”

Immediately, Gu Renyun pondered his words and said, "Aren't the so-called corrupt officials one of the gentry class?" And who is the reason why these corrupt officials can rise to power? Emperor? The emperor just ranked those who stood out in the big examination of officials and abbots. In the final analysis, these people are actually selected by the officials themselves. ”

"If you have to blame the traitors, it is also because the Manchu Dynasty is full of traitors, but most of the officials are not in that position, even if he has the potential of a traitor, but he can't give full play!

"For example, when there was a locust plague in Henan last year, the imperial court took out 300,000 quintals of grain for disaster relief, but 300,000 quintals of grain were put on the ship and transported to Henan, and only 30,000 quintals were left when they got off the ship...... After the incident, the disaster relief made Tang Mode commit suicide immediately, and the world recognized that this Tang Mode was a corrupt official, and the emperor chose him to help the disaster because he didn't know anyone!

"Humph! So if you don't choose this Don Maud to go to disaster relief, will this situation not happen? The answer is no, you must know that when Tang Maud's house was raided afterwards, but since 30,000 quintals of grain were found in his house, where did the other 260,000 quintals of grain go? Of course, it was divided up by other related people and the upper and lower hands.

Judging from the proportion of food he shared, although he was in an important position, he was not the core of this incident, so the core person must be in a high position, if there is a different person, what can he do? It's not the same, only the same thing! Otherwise, these potential colleagues will probably have to suppress him by any means! ”

"Therefore, the Manchu Dynasty is full of so-called traitors, the difference is only that they did not reach that position, or they were in that position, but the incident did not break out! For example, in the case of Don Maud, no matter who goes to the court, the result is the same, at most, there is more or less food left! ”

The boy only felt a "boom" as if a thunderbolt had pierced the fog, and he began to look at the problem from another angle.

If you think about it carefully, it seems that many traitors looked like upright men and gentlemen before the incident, but once the incident happened, they were immediately pointed out by Wanfu and thought that it was the result of the emperor's ignorance......

In the past, he only thought that the other party was hiding well, but now after listening to what Gu Renyun said, he suddenly felt that there was another terrifying possibility - the Manchu Dynasty was full of traitors, just to see if they were exposed!

He asked incredulously, "What about the emperor's extravagance?" ”

Gu Renyun smiled disdainfully: "That's simpler, how much can the emperor use?" What's more, the emperor's household generally uses the money of the inner government, and does not use the treasury at all, so that the inner government subsidizes the treasury more! ”

"The reason why the imperial court is short of money is actually because the taxes cannot be collected, and the reason why they can't be collected is because the rich gentry class tries every means to evade taxes, and most of the taxes have indicators. In the case of the poor who have no way to evade taxes. “

"You must know that 9% of the world's wealth is in the hands of those 1 layers, and those 1 layers of people evade taxes and evade taxes, pressing the burden of paying taxes. In the hands of 9 adults with a total of only 1 layer of wealth, this will naturally cause insufficient national tax revenue, and at the same time, it will also drive those 9 adults to a dead end. ”

The young man was depressed for a while, how could he go around and around, and become a gentleman's mistake...... After listening to Gu Renyun's words, he himself felt for a moment that this gentry class was simply extremely hateful, and it was not enough for the people to be angry if they didn't kill them!
