"Your Majesty still wants to kill Xu Huating, just to let the people of the world know that you can't ignore the country's interests for your own interests!"

After learning that Xu Jie was given death and Xu Fan, Xu Kun, and Xu Ying were all killed, Shen Shixing told Yu Youding and Wang Xijue in the park of the official residence.

Shen Shixing, Yu Youding, and Wang Xijue are all Jinshi in Jiajing for 41 years, and they are all first-class, belonging to the same family and the same class, so the relationship is very good.

Among them, Shen Shixing is the champion of Jiajing for 41 years, while Wang Xijue is the leader of this year, and Yu Youding is the flower of this year.

However, now only Shen Shixing and Yu Youding have entered the cabinet, and Wang Xijue has not yet entered the cabinet.

Because Wang Xijue himself disobeyed the holy will in the matter of seizing love, relying on the opportunity of Zhu Yijun's intention to support the industrial and commercial gentry, and took the initiative to defect to the court in the implementation of the new policy of the official gentry to pay grain and be on an errand day, he was reactivated as the right attendant of the ministry, and he lagged behind in the officialdom.

And Shen Shixing, Yu Youding, and Wang Xijue are all from the Jiangnan Wang family.

Among them, Shen Shixing is a Suzhou family, Yu Youding is a family in Yinxian County, eastern Zhejiang, and Wang Xijue is a family in Taicang.

It can be said that the three of them also have the same background as Xu Jie, they are all big bureaucrats and big landowners in Jiangnan.

Therefore, their family is actually involved in smuggling.

It's just that the three of them either only entered the cabinet in the early years of Wanli, or they only entered the cabinet now, or they haven't entered the cabinet yet, so their power is not as powerful as the Xu family, and their foundation is not as good as the Xu family, so they have not been involved in smuggling to a large extent.

At the same time, it is precisely because they are not as conspicuous as the Xu family now, so Zhu Yijun did not let Jinyiwei focus on staring at them, the big officials and gentry and bureaucrats, so that their family has not been found guilty yet.

However, after seeing the fate of the Xu family, Shen Shixing, Yu Youding, Wang Xijue and other big bureaucrats who are also from the background of the Jiangnan gentry will inevitably be touched by this, and know where the bottom line of the imperial court is.

Therefore, after Shen Shixing said this, Yu Youding also echoed: "Yes, if you eat Junlu, you should repay Junlu!" If you only want to monopolize the benefits of the world, and forget to report to the country and go down to Hui Lishu, it is inevitable that there will be a loss, and it is inevitable that there will be a child holding the pearl in the city. ”

"That's right, now Your Majesty also has his own soldiers, and he has been taught by Jiangling for ten years, and he is even more important; In this case, no matter what source of wealth is opened, the imperial court should be taken into account, and the imperial court should also benefit and be able to enrich the country! ”

Wang Xijue followed with his head.

Shen Shixing said: "There are also Huimin!" ”

"You don't know much about the restructuring, so you don't know."

"Your Majesty actually set the three major purposes of the restructuring in the "Foreign Living Note" as early as when the prime minister was still there, namely, enriching the country, strengthening the army, and benefiting the people, and all systems must meet these three points at the same time, at least without much damage to one of them, before they can be implemented."

Yu Youding and Wang Xijue couldn't help but glance at each other after hearing this, and their eyes showed surprise.

"If we really do this, the etiquette system will be greatly changed, and it can't just stop ruling the country by virtue!"

Wang Xijue said at this time.

Yu Youding nodded: "That's right! If you want to really benefit the people, the rites taught by the saints must be changed! ”

"After all, the people of our country are the best at production, and the reason why they are not rich is because the etiquette system requires the people of our country to pay more attention to etiquette than profit, so that the great benefits of the world are concentrated in the people who benefit the most from the ritual system, and most of the common people are the most diligent but get the least, after all, in the etiquette law, the etiquette is not lower than the common people, but the law is the strictest for the common people."

As soon as Yu Youding finished speaking, Wang Xijue got up and asked excitedly: "But if you really want to abolish the gift of the world, wouldn't it be contrary to the teachings of the saints?" ”

"And if this is the case, even if we are willing, will the Haoyou clan in the world who respect the religion be willing?"

"Or can they give up the way of earning silver only from outside, and not using the silver earned from outside to annex the interests of their own people?"

"And let them not only earn silver from the outside, but also profit from the outside, and in order to increase their ability to make foreign profits, they are also willing to benefit their own people, and even take the initiative to benefit their own people in order to avoid domestic turmoil and affect foreign profits?!"

"But is there anything more extensive out there than this dynasty?"

After Wang Xijue's series of questions were thrown, Shen Shixing and Yu Youding fell silent.

After a long while, Shen Shixing looked up at Wang Xijue and said with a smile: "Let Your Majesty try it, if it can benefit the people and make this dynasty closer to the rule of three generations, wouldn't it be good?" ”

There is a Ding jaw head.

Wang Xijue said: "You can indeed try, after all, in addition to benefiting the people, you can also benefit the people by building water conservancy, improving farming techniques, reducing taxes and making benefits to the people, etc., and it is not necessary to benefit the people." ”

Shen Shixing nodded: "Today, if you can reconcile the top and bottom, improve the relationship with the courtiers, and make the court form a good atmosphere of harmony and hard work, everything may be done." ”

"What we need to remember now is that we need to use Xu Huating's lessons to remind ourselves, and not to forget the country's righteousness because of the prosperity of business."

Wang Xijue and Yu Youding both bowed their heads.

Xu Jie's fate did have a great impact on the Wenchen scholars.

They really didn't expect that a smart person as refined and self-interested as Xu Jie would still end badly.

This has forced them to start re-weighing the importance of taking care of national interests.

At the same time, Zhang Juzheng was set up in the temple, which had a more positive effect on the world.

Especially after the news of the execution of those officials who prevented Pan Sheng from entering the cabinet spread, it made ordinary businessmen and ordinary people all over the world see the determination of the imperial court to continue to adhere to the new policy.

"Good! That's great! ”

"I thought it was the death of the people, but I didn't expect that it was the death of the people and the spirit of the people was carried forward."

Liu Quxian was overjoyed after seeing the content of "Di Bao" at this time, and said to Wang Changgeng, who was also at home.

Wang Changgeng said: "So, we should continue to increase the production of cotton cloth on a large scale, instead of closing some workshops and saving the silver for storage?" ”

"That's natural, we should continue to recruit workers, maybe the people are more willing to take out the silver to spend, not worried that the new deal will be suddenly abolished, and we will return to the era when taxes were only borne by the small people."

Liu Quxian said with a smile.

Wang Changgeng nodded, and then said with a smile: "Because of the partnership with you to do this business, I also want this Jiangling New Deal to continue more and more!" And may the small people be richer! ”

"I'm glad you can make such a difference!"

Liu Quxian also said with a smile.

At this time, one or two canopy carriages suddenly stopped outside the gate of Liu's house, and the gatekeeper of Liu's house walked in and sent a message to Liu Quxian: "Ying Tianwang's Mansion Yin Sanshe Wang Xianggong came to worship!" ”

The prince of the three houses in this gate is actually Wang Shijun, the third son of Yin Wang Shizhen of Yingtianfu.

Wang Shizhen, like Wang Xijue, was ordered by Zhu Yijun to be used by Zhu Yijun because he took the initiative to expose the evidence of the reactionary official gentry who prevented the gentry from paying grain and working as errands in one piece, and was also reinstated as the new Yingtianfu Yin.

Therefore, Wang Shizhen's third son, Wang Shijun, will also appear in Nanjing.

When Liu Quxian heard that it was the third prince of Fu Yin who came to worship, he was naturally surprised and hurriedly welcomed in.

And after Wang Shijun saw Liu Quxian and Wang Changgeng and exchanged names with these two people, he expressed his intention and said: "The contemptible people learned that Brother Zijing wholesaled cheap cotton cloth, and I came to ask, I wonder if your government can provide 500,000 cotton cloths to the contemptible people every month?" ”

Liu Quxian and Wang Changgeng couldn't help but look at each other.

So much?

Wang Shijun said with a smile: "If your mansion can do it, the contemptible person can leave a deposit of 30,000 taels now." ”

"Naturally!"

Wang Shijun then went back and informed Wang Shizhen of the result.

Wang Shizhen nodded, and asked, "Are you really sure how can this Liu family cotton store supply us with so much cotton cloth?" ”

Wang Shijun nodded: "He promised yes, and according to his son's inquiry, his family's cotton cloth production is indeed second to none in Jinling, but the cotton cloth is of inferior quality, but it is suitable to sell it to Koreans and Japanese people." ”

Wang Shizhen said after hearing this: "Okay, then you just do it, now the new deal will not be abolished, and we don't need to keep the silver to keep the slaves and merge the land, it is serious to do more business, at least we have to make money innocently, and we can't smuggle for huge profits, so as not to end up like the Xu family!" ”

"Yes!"

Not only Wang Shizhen's family, but because Zhu Yijun set up a museum for Zhang Juzheng and let him enjoy the Taimiao, many big bureaucrats and big landowners like Wang Shizhen had to give up using the silver to annex land and slaves in China, and use it to expand foreign trade.

Because as long as the New Deal is not abolished, the cost of annexing land and keeping slaves will remain high, and they can only make external profits.

After all, the new policy can avoid the bankruptcy of a large number of yeoman farmers, instead of becoming slaves and servants, or even selling their land, and enhance the national strength, so that the Han people can rely on their strong national strength to expand their operations abroad for profit.
