Qianyi then went to Jinan under the pretext of whether he could successfully persuade Tie Xuan to be this victim......

It should work!

After all, Tie Xuan is also very toothy for a demon like Yang Feng.

Actually, it's not just him.

The local officials who are still in office, most of their feelings for Yang Feng are actually motivated to kill thieves and have no power to return to the sky, if they really see the hope of hoeing and raping, as long as they are not completely willing to degenerate, they can't help but have the mind to give it a try.

And this plan is very operational.

Yang Feng is strong.

But no matter how strong he is, he can't beat the world with one person!

What if it could stimulate the world to turn against it?

In the final analysis, the place is controlled by the gentry, no matter how hard Zhu Yuanzhang tried before, he couldn't change this fact, and he didn't want to change it, if he had this mind, he wouldn't succeed. His success is still the result of finally choosing to cooperate with the gentry, such as Liu Ji and Song Lian, who wanted to succeed in the ancient rebellion, they would inevitably take this step.

Not in line with the gentry......

That's Li Zicheng.

So if the gentry of the world can collectively regard Yang Feng as an enemy and all rebel against his reforms, then what will he do?

Could he still reconquer county by county? Even if he could, how many years would it take? During this period, won't the Jianwen court and those vassal kings take the opportunity to rise up? In the final analysis, firearms are already able to play, Guangdong relies on Foshan and small iron mines in northern Guangdong, and even is already an important iron-smelting base, and more than half of the civil metallurgical output of the Ming Dynasty in the past is in Guangdong. Now not to mention the old weapons such as rapid-fire guns, even arquebuses and even flintlock muskets have begun to be manufactured, and field guns have also begun to be cast.

It can be said that it is not difficult to build a strong army.

All the Jianwen court needed was a time to develop steadily.

After all, he had just arrived in Guangdong, and no matter what he did, he didn't have time to finish it.

As for the vassal kings......

They were just afraid of Yang Feng's obscenity.

They knew that they couldn't beat Yang Feng, and Yang Feng could barely accept what they gave them, so they chose to compromise, but it didn't mean that they just forgot about it, if Yang Feng really fell into a full-scale rebellion, then they wouldn't stab them in the back at a critical moment.

Of course, it is important to get him into a full-scale rebellion......

Land.

Nothing could be more effective than that.

The gentry don't care who is the emperor, or they don't care how to choose officials, after all, they can even endure Zhu Yuanzhang, but if they move their land, they will be forced to work hard.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang is not so frustrated!

Lao Zhu did raid a lot of homes, forcibly forced the family to open up wasteland, and from time to time to engage in big prisons, but he was not all-in-one, he just selected some places, that is, to find some unlucky ones, and he did not prohibit the existence of landlords, he limited at most, the landlord is still the landlord. It can be said that he did not make a mistake of principle, the gentry did not like him, but he did not touch the bottom line, so for the sake of the face of the butcher's knife in his hand, everyone is not impatient, after all, as a big family, everyone knows that the most important thing is to be patient.

Can be a public field law......

Crazy!

Besides, this matter is not dangerous for Tie Hyun himself.

It's nothing more than being scolded.

It is even possible to be promoted to the rank of knight.

As a loyal servant and a righteous man, what is it to endure humiliation and burden?

Gongin.

"This is the hero of the world!"

Ambassador Yang, as he did last time, admired the gestures of those who walked into the examination room in front of the door.

The Enke trial began.

Because it is only from Tianfu, there are only 1,200 people who participated in the Enke examination this time, and this is because of the five subjects, in fact, according to the standards of the past, there are only two or three hundred people. Now the number of scholars in the five subjects has increased significantly, and in addition to his 500 students, who have applied for the five subjects, a large number of private students have also been selected. Their selection is simply to take the county exam, that is, Yang Feng or the little princess will ask questions, and then the counties will be literate, and those who sign up for the county school exam. Of course, the test questions are not Baguwen, or they are the same as modern exams, according to the subject they have reported, and then those with enough scores will be selected as lifters.

These are directly taken to the examination.

In fact, not only four new subjects have been added, but there are also many non-Confucian students in the liberal arts.

In particular, Yang Feng can't help any identity.

As long as literacy......

Of course, there must be a certain amount of screening.

It's actually just giving him a book, and then he can read it, and that's it.

As for this book, of course, it is a great message, and it is not the full text, part of the content of the great edict was slightly sorted out by Wenchen to Lao Zhu, and it is completely vernacular about the great edict, so as long as you can read the great edict, you will be qualified, and then you can take the exam. Therefore, some of the low-level officials also took the exam, and of course they were also willing to have the status of Jinshi, and these people were especially proficient in the law, and even let them write articles smoothly.

They were more proficient in the law than the mere Confucian scholars.

They are also clear about the gains and losses of government decrees.

Among Yang Feng's students, there were already those who specialized in studying law.

In short, liberal arts scholars are not necessarily in the bag of those Confucian scholars.

This set of reformed imperial examinations is actually a modern civil service examination, because there are enough jinshi selected, so they will enter the officialdom as a second official, and then be promoted by virtue of their grades, and finally pass the imperial examinations, and then the newcomers continue to enter the officialdom and take those Confucian officials away.

It is estimated that in less than ten years, whether it is the imperial court or local officials, they will all be newcomers.

"This generation is enough, but virtue may not be able to."

Zhang Xianzong said.

He is now the boss of Wenchen.

Although in fact, he has been scolded by Confucianism.

However, scolding him is scolding him, but the ministers also know very well that if their group can still participate in the government affairs, they can only rely on him, so they still regard him as the core. As for himself, he has been in Wutai Mountain for all these years, so he doesn't understand the significance of these reforms, and when Zhu Yunxi was in power, many future designs were connected to him.

He was indeed a Confucian scholar.

And it's still a top spot!

But now he is actually about to abandon Confucianism.

"You just say that the election of officials is based on virtue or talent, so the question is, Confucianism pays the most attention to morality, but in fact, after becoming an official, how much can not be corrupt and bend the law? Taizu peeled the skin and grass, did he stop Confucianism from perverting the law after becoming an official? You can go back and count how many of the Jinshi taken by Taizu in the previous imperial examinations are really incorruptible? I'm afraid not even half of it, right? Even if they are incorruptible, how many of them are because they read the way of the sages, that is, they are of noble character so they do not bend the law for bribes, not because of Taizu's skinning and grass?

Most of them are afraid of peeling the grass, right?

Therefore, it is impractical to choose virtue through the imperial examination.

The quality of the article has nothing to do with their morality.

Qin Hui is still a jinshi!

His article is written, okay? Even his handwriting is very good, but does it have anything to do with his character? The imperial examination does not produce morality, and the selection of officials in the imperial examination is a seemingly high-sounding thing, but in fact, the elected officials have nothing to do with morality.

However, the selection of officials based on talent is much more practical.

After all, their talent can really be seen through their results.

As for corruption and perversion of the law, but since corruption is inevitable in the end, and they all have to be deterred by peeling the skin and grass, why not choose a talented one?

Besides, if you don't read the books of the sages, you will be virtuous?

I am afraid that most of the loyal and righteous people since ancient times have not read the books of sages. ”

Yang Feng said.

"Then how to avoid corrupt officials and corrupt officials, do you continue to learn from Taizu to peel the skin and grass?"

Zhang Xianzong said.

"This ......"

Yang Feng was inevitably a little melancholy.

"If you really can't do it, you can only continue to peel the skin."

He said with emotion.

This is really no way, the only thing that can be done is indeed to peel the skin and grass, fortunately, in this era, people are still very simple, if he peels the skin and grass, he will get support, not to mention that there is also a family raid and the nine clans, the latter is the most ruthless, even if it is just the three clans, in the end, the corrupt officials are to kill the whole family to have a deterrent effect.

Otherwise, they are not afraid.

Sacrifice one of me and happy generations.

It is to kill the whole family, so that as long as they are caught for corruption and perversion of the law, then the whole family will go on the road together.

Despot?

Feudal dynasty, why not be a tyrant?

Besides, it's not him who does it, and it's Her Majesty the Empress to be a tyrant.

And at this moment, at the distant Lugou Bridge, Zhu Di was looking back at the city behind him with complicated eyes.

The walls stand in the sun.

He has called the city home for more than a decade.

But now, he will travel thousands of miles to that remote steppe to build his new home.

And beside him, Zhu Gaoxu, who was obviously depressed, rode a horse, wore armor, and walked with confusion, since he was beaten by Yang Feng, Zhu Gaoxu has obviously matured a lot. There was a long procession in front of him, on horseback, on camels, in carriages, and not just people, but also cartloads of supplies, even the machinery of the craftsmen.

They officially began their journey westward.

Zhu Di's whole family, followed by his seven thousand guards.

Of course, these guards are also dragged with their families.

I have to say that these guards are still very loyal to Zhu Di, although the main reason for their loyalty is actually that Zhu Di gave ten hectares of wasteland, four cows, two horses, and twenty sheep to all those who followed the west. As for the agricultural tools and seeds, they will carry them by themselves, and as for the cattle and sheep when they go to the Western Regions, they will actually force those subjects to donate. King Yan controlled the Sidu Division of the Western Regions, and most of the subordinates of the Sidu Division were nomads, with only 7,000 guards, and in order to show their loyalty, it was enough for a family to gather a few thousand cows. As for the horses, Zhu Di himself has a huge horse farm, and the entire Ili River Valley is now the horses, camels, and even cattle and sheep that he scavenged in various ways last time, and the guard led by Taiping was for him to graze.

These seven thousand, plus one of Taiping's guards, and one guard who has already arrived, and some of them have joined along the way, after Zhu Di arrived in the Western Regions, he had four guards in his hands.

There is one guard left, and Yang Feng will send it to him before the end of next year.

So the guards are all mined.

Ten hectares of wasteland is actually a thousand acres, and at this time one is one hundred acres.

The Ili River Valley, southern Xinjiang, all of which are very good agricultural areas, especially the former, a guard is divided into thousands of acres, although at the beginning they have to cultivate by themselves, but they will definitely be slaves and maids in the future, in fact, there are guards with slaves and maids now. The result was a system similar to that of serfdom in Europe, with the guards becoming hereditary knights, a system that, at least initially, ensured maximum force.

There are also caravans.

Yang Feng has established the Western Regions Development Company, and the first armed caravan has been formed.

For the time being, they are mainly engaged in trade, but in fact they mainly establish strongholds in various cities, and continue to cultivate until the Naturalization Chief's Lawsuit, which is the Kjjand where his concubine Gulina is stationed. These armed caravans were also a supplement to Zhu Di's armed forces, as Zhu Di would give them various privileges in his official capacity as the governor of the Western Regions.

In the future they will control trade, mining, industry, and even armed robbery in the Western Regions.

Although it is a bit unpleasant to say.

But in Yang Feng's plan, the company's armed businessmen, robbery should be an important business in the future.

"King!"

Zheng He walked up to Zhu Di and knelt down and kowtowed to him.

He did not follow the westward journey.

Because Yang Feng still had to ask him to go to the Western Ocean, and his talent was mainly at sea, and there was no place to play when he went to the Western Regions, and it was impossible for Zhu Di to expand to the coast in a short time. However, Yao Guangxiao decided to follow King Yan to the west, he was appointed by Zhu Yuanzhang as the host of King Yan's family temple, and now of course he is still following, after all, King Yan moved to the Western Regions, and the family temple also moved to the Western Regions.

Master Daoyan can go to the Western Regions to promote Buddhism.

Zhu Di has decided to build a big Bao'en Temple for Queen Ma in Yili.

He continues to be the host.

"Get up, although you and I are separated from each other, there will be a day when we will meet."

Zhu Di said.

"No matter where the slave and maid are, they are the slaves and maids of the king, Yang Feng let the slaves and maids go to the West, just behind Timur to build a city for the king, may the king come as soon as possible. The slave and maid studied the West, although Timur conquered Persia, but the Persians did not really surrender, and waited for the opportunity for revenge.

It happened that Yang Feng paid for it, and all the expenses were paid by him. ”

Zheng He said.

So he was pretending to be a public servant, Yang Feng wanted him to go to the West, and he happened to go to collude with the Persians.

Zhu Di's ultimate opponent in the Western Regions has to be Timur after all, and Timur's most important territory is Persia, and fooling Persia into rebellion will undoubtedly give Zhu Di a great boost.

And Yang Feng paid for it.

Spend Yang Feng's money and do things for Zhu Di!

Zhu Di dismounted and helped him up.

"Ten years, ten years later, you and I will meet again!"

He said.

That's when his big fat son came over.

"Daddy, Guangzhou sent someone over and sent some gifts to Daddy."

Zhu Gaochi said.

Then the person behind him held a box, grovelled forward, opened the box casually, and looked at the pile of jewels inside, especially all kinds of gems shining in the sun......

"He still doesn't give up, since this is also his filial piety as a nephew, accept it!"

Zhu Di said.

It is enough to take it.

Accepting it is equivalent to telling Zhu Yunwen that we are still a family.
