After hearing this, Chen Zizhuang also got up and took his 20,000 taels, and said, "It's okay!" I am in favor of the expansion of the West Factory in Jiangnan, anyway, this is also in line with the people's wishes. ”

Zhang Gui smiled: "That's right. ”

Immediately, Zhang Gui looked at Lu Xiangsheng, who had just been promoted to the secretary of the military department: "Da Sima, what about you?" ”

"A gentleman is a righteous man, and a villain is a profit. Uncle Guo, you can directly persuade us to agree to the expansion of the West Factory on the grounds of the needs of the people, so why bother to use wealth to move it first? ”

Lu Xiangsheng asked puzzled.

Zhang Gui said with a smile: "Ben Hou didn't mean this, Da Sima misunderstood, and the matter of mentioning the money first today was just a thought." ”

Zhang Gui said again: "The Guards have just conducted an internal investigation, and it is when the army's morale is a little unstable, if you don't take this opportunity to increase the profits of the Industrial Division and increase their dividends, I'm afraid that the army's morale will always be unstable." It may even be angry with Da Sima. In addition, if the imperial court has no money, it will inevitably cause a shortage of military salaries, and presumably Da Sima will not want to see soldiers mutiniate because of the shortage of military salaries, right? Therefore, it is better for Benhou to persuade Da Sima to take this dividend. ”

As soon as Lu Xiangsheng heard this, he also got up and took his share of the ticket: "What Uncle Guo said is right, there are indeed many guards officers who have told me recently that they can not marry the family, but if they do not marry the family, wealth can only rely on military merit and the gift of the Son of Heaven, and now if I really block Your Majesty's opportunity to give them wealth, it is indeed to prevent them from wanting to be loyal to Your Majesty and want the family to be rich." ”

In the end, only Yuan Keli was left in the entire Planning Division.

Therefore, Zhang Gui and everyone also looked at Yuan Keli.

Yuan Keli smiled bitterly, and also took his share of the dividends, and said: "If it weren't for the fact that there would be a large number of displaced people in Guanzhong who needed to be resettled and absorbed by the Industrial Division, and in addition, so many officers and soldiers were also waiting for the court's reward to stabilize the morale of the army, I would definitely not agree to do this. ”

Yuan Keli also knew that if he didn't agree now, maybe the guards would visit him at night, after all, Lu Xiangsheng agreed.

Seeing this, Zhang Gui smiled with satisfaction, and then took out a copy of the recital given to the apocalypse by Yuan Yaoran, the inspector of the imperial history, and asked Han Yi and the others:

"So what this recital says, that is, the so-called scholars of Xilin Academy united with Diao Min, formed a chaotic party, washed Donglin in blood, and slaughtered the people, can you believe it?"

"That's nonsense!"

Wei Zhongxian made up his mind first, and said: "I'm not blind in Dongchang, the scholars of Xilin Academy and the local people, which one is worthy of the name of the chaotic party?!" ”

"Now it seems that the imperial court at least can't jump to conclusions, and it is better to order the West Factory and the East Factory to work with the Governor of Zhejiang."

Han Yi said at this time.

The West Factory is the institution of Admiral Zhang Gui.

Dongchang was the agency of Admiral Wei Zhongxian.

And Zhao Yan, the governor of Zhejiang, was Yuan Keli's man.

Therefore, now that the opinions of several ministers of the Department of Planning and Planning are unified, the so-called auspicious investigation of Jiangnan is just a formality, and it will not favor the Jiangnan gentry.

"In addition, we also have to draw up a decree to expand the official school in Jiangnan with Xichang to strictly investigate the collusion of internal traitors with foreign people to undermine the national law of the emperor."

Han Yi followed and said.

Zhang Gui and Wei Zhongxian all nodded, and they did not oppose the expansion of the West Factory.

Therefore, after Zhang Gui returned home, he called Zhou Neng: "Quickly reply to Huang Binqing and Wang Zhiren, and tell them that the Son of Heaven and several ministers of the Planning Department have agreed with Ben Hou, and they can sit back and watch them do the matter of liquidating the gentry and Juntian in the name of the Xichang Hoeing and Traitor Division." But the rules that should be obeyed must also be followed! For example, the money and grain that have been copied must be handed over in full according to the rules, and they must not be kept privately! Otherwise, the West Factory will not be sheltered! In addition, it is not allowed to mess up because of this, implicate the innocent, and take care of people's lives, otherwise the imperial court will definitely order the governor Yamen to send troops to clean it up! ”

"Yes!"

Zhou Neng agreed.

Huang Binqing, Wang Zhiren, Chen Zilong and other people from Xilin Academy were very happy after receiving Zhang Gui's letter, and they also got together to discuss.

Huang Binqing smiled first and said, "Sure enough, Uncle Guo is a long-term person!" Know the benefits. ”

"In this way, we have to hand over the stolen money of the inferior gentry worth more than 30 million taels of silver and five million stone of grain to the imperial court in accordance with the rules?"

Wang Zhiren asked.

Huang Binqing nodded: "If you want to get the support of the imperial court and get the arms assistance from the Xishan Industrial Division, you have to hand it over honestly!" ”

"What's more, we didn't really want to rebel against the court, nor did we instigate the people to riot because we wanted to get rich. Our goal is to make the step of change a little bigger, so that our ambition to save the world can be realized! ”

"Yes!"

"The major workshops of our Xilin Academy can already bring us wealth, and we want to serve evenly, not for our own wealth, but for the sake of the wealth of the people of the world. Therefore, it is correct to give the confiscated money and grain to the imperial court! Otherwise, the court may be directly on the side of the gentry! ”

Chen Zilong also echoed and said.

After hearing this, Wang Zhiren said: "But according to Uncle Guo's intentions, we have to abide by the rules, but if we abide by the rules, we, as the people of Xichang, cannot interfere in civil affairs, and only have the power to investigate smuggling and eradicate spies!" It seems that there is no right to implement the policy of equal service in Junda! ”

"This is easy, we can be moved by the parents and officials of the prefectures and counties, and let them ask the imperial court to allow them to serve in their own jurisdiction, and they will definitely be willing. If you don't want to, you are a dog official who colludes with foreigners and ignores public opinion! ”

Huang Binqing said.

After hearing this, Chen Zilong echoed: "That's it!" ”

As a result, the scholars of Xilin Academy and the soldiers of Xilin Township then changed their way to implement the new policy of Juntian and Jungong, that is, to force officials from all over the country to preside over the new policy.

Gao Luyuan, the prefect of Changzhou, was therefore pulled out of the Suzhou Yihua boat by the Xilin Township soldiers, and escorted back to Changzhou Mansion overnight.

Then, Huang Binqing personally bowed his hand to Gao Luyuan and said: "Gaofutai, please go to this concert and ask the imperial court to implement a new policy in Changzhou!" ”

Gao Luyuan was reluctant at first, after all, this was something that offended the gentry, so he said angrily: "You are threatening the court officials!" Even if the old man is killed by you today, it will not be as you wish! ”

Seeing this, Huang Binqing directly picked up the handcuff and pointed it at Gao Luyuan.

Gao Luyuan was so frightened that he hurriedly sat back in his chair and said tremblingly: "I write!" I'll write it now! Please don't do this! We're all old friends, aren't we?! ”

Huang Binqing withdrew the handcuff at this time.

Coincidentally.

The scholars of Xilin Academy and the soldiers of Xilin Township began to force the magistrates of other areas under their control to come forward to preside over the new policy.

At the same time, Xilin Academy also sent all the money and grain confiscated from the settled gentry's homes to Beijing by ship in accordance with the rules.

Here in the capital, soon after Zhang Gui reached an agreement with Han Yi, Wei Zhongxian, Yuan Keli and others of the Planning Department, a new will was issued from the General Administration Department.

At the same time, the second decree is to expand the official school in Xichang and strictly investigate the collusion of internal traitors with foreign countries to undermine the national law of the emperor.

But these two wills were refuted by the Six Science Corridors!

Fang Yanhong, who refuted these two wills, even went directly to the book and said: "Your Majesty! What is happening in Jiangnan now is a rebellion between the people and bandits! It's not just about the collusion between Donglin Academy and Waiyi! If you want to talk about collusion with Waiyi, it is also the thieves of Xilin Academy, who washed Donglin Academy in blood in collusion with Waiyi, and instigated Diao people and foreign criminals to mess up my Jiangnan and damage my southeast land! At this time, the imperial court should immediately send a large army to suppress it! ”
