Hao Rusong's face sank after hearing this, and then he had to put on his official hat: "Let's go, continue to go to Zhang's Mansion to condole."

And after Hao Rusong came to Zhang's mansion, as soon as he saw Zhang Juzheng's mourning hall, he had to howl again: "Yuanfu! Why did you just leave, woo! You're gone, who else in this world can help the Son of Heaven, woo!"

After Hao Ruxiang cried for a while, he also saw that Zhang Juzheng's tablet had been replaced with the words "Hou Zhang Wenzhenggong of Jingzhou", and his heart suddenly felt uncomfortable, but he had to howl a few more times before he stood up and condoled with the Zhang clan.

"For the official to learn from Zhang Wenzheng, for the country and the people, maybe he can also be born as a Taishi and chase Wenzheng to death!"

The young Xiong Tingbi seemed to have a bad mouth problem in history, and he stood beside Hao Rusong and said such a sentence when Zhang Fu came to mourn.

Hao Rusong glanced back, and for a moment wanted to ask who was mocking him.

At this time, another scholar, Huang Yanshi, echoed at this time and said: "Be like Wen Zhenggong, and dare to fight with the powerful and powerful in order to be the king Yu Yaoshun!"

Hao Rusong saw that Huang Yanshi and Xiong Tingbi were very young, and it was not easy to blame them too much.

And this is in Zhang's mansion, not the government, and there are many fellow villagers who come to mourn, and even because the emperor exempted Jiangling from taxation and gave him the grace of doubling the admission of county students for three years, many Zhang Juzheng villagers have let go of their complaints about Zhang Juzheng's restructuring, and came to Zhang's mansion to mourn Zhang Juzheng, and began to praise Zhang Juzheng.

Therefore, Hao Rusong didn't want to say anything, just smiled.

However, Zhang Juzheng was posthumously honored by Wenzheng and crowned as a marquis, which played a guiding role in the scholarly world, but not only made several young scholars begin to have the same ambitions as Zhang Juzheng, but also greatly affected the gentry who came to Zhang's mansion.

At this time, after Li Zhen also came to offer incense to Zhang Juzheng, he said to Geng Theorem: "I suddenly don't despair so much about this world, and I still want to continue to be an official."

Historically, Li Zhen, who had already decided to retire from the prefect of Yao'an and become a monk, and later committed suicide by cutting his neck because he was disappointed in the world, had the idea of becoming a monk again.

"You're better off studying."

Geng Theorem smiled and said, "It's better to let my brother do the inheritance of Jiangling's ambition."

When Hao Rusong heard the words of Li Zhen and others, he couldn't laugh when he wanted to, so he only told a few officials and gentry who accosted him that the yamen still had affairs and returned to the palace.

It was only when he returned to the mansion that Hao Rusong lowered his face and complained to his confidants in the backyard study: "This official can't do it! You send someone to Beijing to ask what is going on, why it has not been liquidated yet, do you have to wait for the morale to change to everyone who advocates the reform of the system, and even to the point where you start to feel that the three deficiencies are also justified?"

"Yes!"

……

The news of Zhang Juzheng's death has begun to spread among the people through various channels such as "Di Bao".

There are those who celebrate, there are those who are sad, and there are those who lament the end of an era.

At this time, Wang Changgeng smiled and hurried towards Liu Quexian's residence, and was about to inform Liu Quexian of the news and take a look at Liu Quexian's sad appearance.

However, Liu Quxian had already learned about Zhang Juzheng's death through other channels at this time.

Therefore, when Laidi appeared, Liu Quxian hugged her directly and cried.

Laidi couldn't help but ask, "What's wrong?"

"Mr. Taishi Zhang has passed away."

Liu Quxian choked up.

Lai Di was a little stunned after hearing this, but she immediately understood, she knew that Zhang Ju was a big man that Liu Quxian admired, so she could only rub his back with her hands.

And Liu Quxian quickly stopped his tears, and suddenly said: "Call all the employees in the house, both men and women, to the lobby, and then set up the tablet of the Taishi Zhang Wenzheng Gong in front of the hall, burn incense and paper."

"Good!"

Laidi agreed.

Soon after, Zhang Juzheng's tablet was placed in the lobby of the Liu family, along with all kinds of offerings, as well as incense burners and paper money.

And the employees of Liu's major workshops are also

Coming here, standing in the lobby and the entire courtyard outside.

Liu Quxian stood in front of Zhang Juzheng's tablet, facing these employees, and said with a solemn expression: "You all say that I am a living Bodhisattva, giving you food and clothing, and letting you all live more like individuals, but the real living Bodhisattva is not the master me, it is the person on this tablet, the Taishi Zhang Wenzhenggong, the Marquis of Jingzhou Taiyue who has just died!"

After hearing this, the employees all stared at the tablet and the portrait of Zhang Juzheng that Liu Quxian begged for at a high price hanging behind the tablet.

Some of these people know Zhang Juzheng, and some don't, but they are all curious about Zhang Juzheng at the moment.

Liu Quxian continued: "Master, I can have my current family business, and now I can become filial piety and honesty, be prosperous and rich, and make you no longer slaves, and even let some of you already marry wives and have children, some can also support Gaotang, and can also provide for your children to study, these are not because I am really a Wenqu star, nor is it because I am personally capable, it is because of him Master Zhang!"

"He brings good government."

"It can be said that he made me and rescued you, otherwise, I would have starved to death in prison by now, and you are still a slave of someone's family, and the greatest creation is just to be an aunt or a steward."

Liu Quxian choked up when he said this: "But now he is old."

Everyone looked lost for a moment.

"There may be no more such Taishi Zhang in the world."

"Our good days are coming to an end."

Liu Quxian suddenly said very sadly, and then said with a sad smile: "So, you all kneel down and kowtow to him, he is the real Bodhisattva!" Let him see in the Spirit of heaven, that there are those under heaven who are grateful to him."

The hired men, both men and women, thus knelt down.

Some of them have even sobbed and wiped away tears.

"Even so, I have to kowtow, he saved me, if it weren't for the Taishi, I wouldn't have met Brother Xian again."

As she spoke, she knelt down with her child in her arms, kowtowing with red eyes.

Then, Lai Di looked at the two cousins Liu Quxian who were following her, and said with a smile: "Little sisters, you should also kowtow, if it weren't for him, you would have gone to the tower by now."

The so-called tower is the drowning tower.

In this era, there were many cases of female infanticide in poor families in the south.

And because of the Wanli New Deal, the difficulties of the small people of Dasu have greatly reduced the number of infantile drowning, so Liu Quxian's two cousins have survived.

"Zijing! Tell you something that will make you sad."

Wang Changgeng came at this time, and when he saw Liu Quxian talking to his employees, he stopped and listened outside.

For a while, when he heard Lai Di say to the two Liu family girls that without Zhang Juzheng's reform, maybe the two girls in front of him had already gone to the tower, he couldn't help but restrain his expression, walked over and bowed to Zhang Juzheng, and put on a stick of incense: "Also, seeing that he didn't let more people destroy the tragic situation, I also respect him."

When Liu Quxian saw Wang Changgeng coming, he let the hired workers disperse, and took him to the backyard study, and asked, "Why are you here?"

Wang Changgeng grinned and said, "Naturally, I came to drink with you."

Liu Quxian said: "After Jiangling gets old, the situation is likely to change greatly, and businessmen like you and me, who are not big officials in the court, it is better to stop expanding the industry, take back the silver, and hide it in the cellar rather than take it out to attract people's attention, so as not to have the sin of conceiving at the time, it is better to work seriously."

After hearing this, Wang Changgeng also nodded: "That's right, maybe the tenth year of Wanli is the best year in the next ten years, unless we can get to the top, but it is not easy for the carp to jump into the dragon gate, it is good to stop expanding the industry first, and people want to stop recruiting, and those displaced people who have not yet been hired let them fend for themselves or continue to be slaves of large households."

Although the people of the Ming Dynasty did not learn any financial knowledge from later generations, as a Han people with thousands of years of ancient civilization, they have long known that politics and economics will have a great relationship.

After all, the ancients knew about work as early as the Guan Zhong period

Relief is a way to solve the economic crisis, so the death of Zhang Juzheng, a reformer, also made many shrewd gentry and businessmen quickly change their production and lifestyle.

Some began to scale back consumption;

Some began to curtail production and bury the silver grain;

Some people thought that the haze of their big bureaucrats and big landlords was coming to an end, and they began to need a large number of slaves and were ready to take advantage of them, while others were still waiting and watching, and they only began to deliberately default on taxes.

As a result, the private commodity economy is not as dynamic as it once was.

It seems that after Zhang Juzheng, the Bodhisattva, leaves, Da Ming is really going to enter the world of sin.

……

"I am the true Bodhisattva of the Ming Dynasty, and I am the one who can truly protect the Ming Dynasty, so that the people of the world can continue to see hope."

Zhu Yijun also learned about the situation among the people through Jinyiwei, so he looked at the names of the reformist officials on the screen and muttered to himself.
