After hearing this, Zhang Whale agreed with this.

Because in order to get along with the scholars in Nandu, he also bought usury IOUs worth 30,000 taels of silver from these scholars, and now they are also smashed in his hands.

Zhang Whale could imagine that even he, an idle eunuch who was not in the inner circle, could get a usury IOU of 30,000 taels of silver dollars at the beginning when the usury IOU, the so-called bond in later generations was more fragrant than gold.

It can be seen how much money the entire bureaucratic strata in Nandu has invested in it, and how much money is ready to be seized from the common people of the whole country by taking advantage of the Qing army's involvement.

But now, the problem is that Zhu Yijun's ruling class guessed their intentions, and ordered the will to strictly prohibit the Qing army from hooking up the army to force them to brake.

Even, the imperial court has not hesitated to stop it by rectifying the Jinyiwei, so that the Jinyiwei arrested a lot of people and killed a lot of bureaucrats, which led to the early investment of these bureaucrats and gentry in the southern capital all smashed in their hands.

Especially someone like Zhang Whale who holds a large number of loan shark IOUs.

Of course.

Zhang Jing himself didn't care, because he was ordered to spend money and get close to the scholars, so it was the emperor's money that he lost.

Just to let the doctor treat him as his own person, he didn't know his true purpose, he still had to pretend, and he still found Qiao Yinfu with a frustrated face on this day:

"Didn't the public make money at the beginning of the rectification of military affairs, but now why hasn't anyone come to write off the accounts to me, and a bunch of usury IOUs are smashed in our hands!"

"Father-in-law, it's not our fault that he Qi Penglai is too cunning!"

"Now, it is better for the public to take the IOU and go to the debtor to pay the money, or maybe he can recover some of the capital. It's not like we're already in debt, so we have to eat food to pay off our debts. ”

"Since we haven't seen the ships coming south, we have had to drive our slaves out of the house to save money!"

Yang Yingkui was very helpless and complained to Zhang Whale, and Zhang Whale also pretended to be helpless and smiled bitterly and said: "How can you let me go to them to repay the money!" The one who borrowed these loan sharks can I afford to provoke? What's more, this illegal IOU will not see the light of day! ”

Zhang Whale sank his face as he spoke, and said deliberately: "However, you are right, if you want to blame him, Qi Penglai is really not a thing, not to mention the rectification of military affairs, and not to let the people of the world live a better life!" Such a cool official and traitor, why didn't God use thunder to hack him to death! ”

"It's useless to say this, and now the imperial court also encourages the people to sue officials, and set up a secret reporting system, and the major post stations have special brocade guards responsible for sending secret notices into Beijing."

"In this way, don't say that the Qing army can't do anything about the army, I'm afraid that even the usual assembly affairs have to be careful."

"Everyone in the world will be in danger!"

Yang Yingkui sighed as he spoke, and slammed his fist on the table, saying: "In this way, you supervise me, I supervise him, everyone has to be jealous, so everyone will be suspicious!" ”

Zhang Whale's jaw.

Indeed, after Zhu Yijun ordered the establishment of a secret reporting system that was convenient for the people to report, it did make the bureaucrats and gentry in the world very uneasy.

It's not that they're worried about the people reporting them, because the people rarely know their details, and as long as they don't directly bully the people, the people basically won't report them.

What they are worried about is that in order to achieve greater fame and fortune in their colleagues, they will be willing to expose the problems of their political opponents in the name of the people's complaints, so as to help them reach a higher level.

However, although the bureaucratic gentry are uneasy because of the secret system, there will still be bureaucratic gentry who cannot control and want to do evil.

Lu Shude was unwilling to spend a high price to buy a young girl as a concubine, but he wanted to have a romantic night and enjoy the blessing of a pear blossom pressing a begonia, so he did Cao Cao's thing, raped the wife of a young clansman, and forced her in the house, and threatened to expel this clansman if he dared to denounce it, forcing the young clansman Lu Heyou to accept the reality, and at the same time promised to give him fifty acres of land.

But Lu Heyou was not willing to suffer this humiliation, and his wife was also very chaste, so he directly chose to hang himself, and at the suggestion of Zuo Shaoqing Hua Cheng, a political enemy of Nanjing Taichang Temple, who was also dissatisfied with Lu Shude, he entrusted overseas Chinese businessmen to go to the foreign post station to vote for it, accusing Lu Shude of incest and rape.

Although Lu Shude advocates science and hopes that people in the world will "destroy people's desires and preserve heavenly principles", like many scholars, it is difficult to curb when their desires are ignited, especially in the clan, and he thinks that he is the elder of the clan, and the clansmen rely on themselves to survive, so he completely forgets the saint etiquette and the emperor's national law, and even because he suppresses his inner desires too hard in order to show the image of a moral gentleman outside, he is inferior to beasts in front of the clansmen with absolute status.

However, what Lu Shude obviously forgot was that there are really people in this world who are unwilling to be wronged.

So, Zhu Yijun informed the matter through a secret message, and immediately ordered Lu Shude to be dismissed from his post and locked in Beijing.

"Hu Zhan, the former political envoy of Guangxi, colluded with bandits to slaughter 56 households in a village, and colluded with officials to forcibly occupy 3,24 acres of land."

"After returning to his hometown, Qi Fengchang Zhishi, the former household department, killed his son with a cane, for fear of leaking the ashes."

……

And the ugly and bad things of bureaucrats like Lu Shude are still known to Zhu Yijun through the secret boxes of major post stations, so much so that Shen Shixing reported two more cases to Zhu Yijun on this day.

Zhu Yijun shook his head after hearing this: "It is said that politics is based on morality, but according to this situation, I'm afraid that no one is available, what do you say, Master Shen?" ”

Shen Shixing couldn't help but hang his head for a while: "Back to Your Majesty, after the boom in business, selfish desires are even more difficult to contain, so it is inevitable; But there are not no gentlemen in the world, at least not all of them are sanctimonious! ”

"Your Majesty is the lord of the world, if you can manage yin and yang, distinguish between loyalty and treachery, and uphold the righteousness of the world, it will not make the world disorder!"

"In addition, the so-called true source, if Your Majesty worships virtue, I believe that most people in the world will still uphold virtue and integrity, but please also ask Your Majesty to be lenient when the time comes, so that the people of the world have the opportunity to correct, after all, no one is wrong, and if he can change, he can be a sage!"

"That's what the master said."

"I am encouraging the evil people in the world to reform themselves, but I think that through the secret reporting system, I have discovered so many inhumane and extremely vicious things, does it mean that although the meat eaters in the world have learned and spoken of benevolence and morality, they have to eat people in essence?"

"Now because of the strict control of the imperial court, they can't eat the common people in the countryside, so they can only eat the weak in their own family or the weak among the villagers, anyway, the weaker than them must be eaten."

"And if the imperial court wants to stop this evil, does it have to satisfy their desire to be a superior man?"

"Because, maybe the new gift brings not only their loss of money and land, but also the higher and higher cost of cannibalism."

"What do you say, Master Shen?"

After Zhu Yijun said this, he looked at Shen Shixing.

He admitted that what he just said was speaking from the standpoint of the ruling class, but he had to admit that in the Ming Dynasty, he had to take into account the real needs of the entire ruling class.

For the ruling class of the Ming Dynasty, which is dominated by the landlord class, the loss of economic interests is indeed nothing, and the most unacceptable loss is the enslavement of people and the ability to be superior to others at a low cost.

This is what Zhu Yijun needs to pay attention to.
