Xue Xuan has lost a lot of weight, appeased the new immigrants, and is still teaching classes, and he still has to study in his spare time.

Reading is his greatest interest, and if he doesn't read for a day, he won't be happy.

People are busy, but the officials are greeted with fake politeness, and there is a lot less, because there is no time.

The atmosphere of Guangxi officialdom has changed.

From the original welcome to fake politeness, twists and turns, and various relationships emerge in endlessly, it has become straightforward, and each government performs its own duties and is doing practical things.

Those villains who are good at sycophancy have been kicked out of the government, and those who remain are talented and willing to do practical things.

Talk less and do more practical things.

The court has just issued a holy decree, allowing the government to recruit talents and raise people for the use of the court to better appease the displaced people.

This initiative is right for Xue Xuan's appetite.

He eliminated a lot of flattering villains, and there was a scarcity of manpower in the government, waiting for Jinshi to replenish it, and it was far away.

It is the best and fastest way to use talents and people to supplement.

Those students who came to study in Jingxuan Academy were all recruited by him as officials.

The scholars who came in from the new immigrants were all treasures, and they all had to be settled, and let them spread out to form a new Guangxi people.

100,000 scholars were placed on the land of Guangxi like seeds.

In less than ten years, Guangxi will become a Han land and a prosperous place like Jiangxi.

Every night, he would also write a secret recital to the emperor, write everything about Guangxi in detail on the recital, and ask the emperor for help.

Every time he wrote a letter, he would get a reply.

Almost all difficulties, the emperor will do his best to help him overcome, manpower, material and financial resources, and the center strongly supports.

From Xue Xuan to supervise Guangxi for more than a year, more than seven million taels of silver were transferred from Jiangxi.

He recruited more than 300,000 people, dug roads to Guizhou, Hunan, Jiangxi, Guangdong, and Yunnan, expanded the galloping roads, and communicated the water system.

Just digging the roads connecting the provinces, Xue Xuan spent three million taels of silver.

It is estimated that it will cost more than 20 million taels of silver to dig all the roads in Guangxi, and this money has been affirmatively answered by the emperor.

This was unthinkable in the past.

This kind of infrastructure construction, the court is completely losing money, and there is no fruit in a short period of time, and if you are a king who is eager for quick success, you will not do these trivial things at all.

The emperor is willing to start from small things, not sparing the cost, just hoping that the people can live a better life.

Even if the emperor is willing to do things such as digging passages and roads, it is also a forced conscription, forcing the people to work, regardless of life and death, and squeezing the people's power to death.

This is also the first year of Xue Xuan's Jingtai, he wrote several times and said: "The ethnic minorities have exhausted their strength and financial resources, and only by reducing their tributes can they avoid changes." ”

However, it has not been accepted by the center, so he also asked for Zhishi.

Until the ninth year of Jingtai, the emperor made drastic reforms and allocated a large amount of money to Guangxi, so that Guangxi recruited people's husbands, gave people money, and mobilized people's enthusiasm.

And this is accumulated on the basis of the strong financial resources of the center.

It turns out that the emperor has a few melons and two dates in his hand, and it is not enough to reward the ministers, where is the money for the people?

Now that the emperor has money, he is willing to use the internal funds to subsidize the local government, first build up the local infrastructure, and then slowly emigrate to build a new Guangxi.

The emperor did not just support infrastructure.

After Guangxi leveled the Tusi, the center changed the norm and gave a lot of rewards, regardless of the local Han, all the work earned wages, and taught the natives to weave, give mulberry seedlings, and weave sweaters, so that the firm came to Guangxi to buy.

It also set up a porcelain factory in Guangxi, fired porcelain, and selected land to grow tea.

Ordered businessmen to come to Guangxi to open a factory.

The central government ordered Guangxi to plant fruit trees and grow fruits, and the palace also spread the practice of canned fruits, making canned fruits from Guangxi and selling them to the north.

The central policies have made Guangxi thriving.

And those native families, after the suppression of the toast on their heads, life is also getting better, and they are also willing to go out of the mountains to work as husbands to make money, and they also want to learn crafts.

Even, more people went into the mountains to work as tree cutters.

The root of Guangxi's commercial development is wood, which is built on a large scale in the north and is scarce, while Guangxi is full of forests.

The central order complements the north and the south, and after Guangxi is flattened, there is an urgent need to open mountains and build roads to connect the north, coupled with the central policy bias towards Guangxi, which makes Guangxi prosperous instantly.

There is another factor, that is, Annan, business travelers go to Annam to purchase, passing through Guangxi, making Guangxi very prosperous.

Xue Xuan still remembers the desolation when he first came to Guangxi.

The current Guangxi gives him the illusion of being in Beijing, a business traveler from Tiannan and Haibei, doing business in Guangxi.

Guangxi is doing good business, but it is stuck on the road.

There have been local gentry and merchant gangs who have raised funds from the private sector to repair waterways and communicate with the water system.

Today, Guangxi's prosperity, even if it is the Qingming Shanghe map, can only peek at the tip of the iceberg.

Guangxi's developed commerce and trade have also contributed to an industry, that is, shipbuilding, and the trade of Tiannan and Haibei requires a large number of ships.

Guangxi is not lacking in wood, and Guizhou's abundant tung oil is close at hand, in Qingyuan Mansion, forming a huge shipbuilding base.

Everything is spawned and formed spontaneously by private capital.

Because Qingyuan Mansion was to be included in Guizhou, Xue Xuan was resigned to it.

The central government wants to transfer the administrative office of Guangxi from Guilin to Nanning, and transfer Guishunzhou, Zhen'anfu, Dukangzhou, Xiangwuzhou, Taipingfu, and Jiangzhou into Nanning.

Xuanhua (Nanning) will be the new provincial governance.

And the emperor wanted to change Xuanhua to Shenfeng, which was the sixth era name used by Sun Quan, but it only took three months for Sun Quan to die.

The courtiers thought that the divine phoenix was unknown and was still under debate.

The emperor believed that Sun Quan's contribution to recovering Jiaozhou could be used to commemorate Sun Quan's merit, but the courtiers thought that it was more appropriate to use Sun Quan's first era name, Huang Wu.

Xue Xuan knew that after the new immigrants were settled, the administrative office would be relocated.

Because the center redivided Guangxi.

The four places of Anqing Prefecture, Sicheng Prefecture, Anlong Division, and Shanglin Division were included in Guizhou, and the additional capital city of Guangxi was still in Annan, which has not yet been justified.

And these four lands also need a ruler to govern.

Xue Xuan wrote to the emperor and asked the emperor to enable Li Kuang.

Li Kuang is a Jinshi in the second year of Xuande, five years of orthodoxy, and he played a vital role in the Yang (Yang Shiqi) incident, and during his tenure as the envoy of Sichuan, he suppressed the uprising in Banzhou and other places, and fought even victories, and his ability is undoubted.

But he was dismissed because of his disagreement with Jiang Yuan's politics, and now that Jiang Yuan is dead, the government has become stable, and Li Kuang is activated, which coincides with his meeting.

The central government approved the use of Li Kuang, appointed as the governor of the three prefectures, and promoted Guizhou to supervise the land of the three prefectures.

Anlongsi and Sanglin Division were merged and changed to Yinju Prefecture.

South Yinzhou, once the ancient name of Guizhou, the name of Guizhou, is the ninth year of Zhenguan, and the south Yinzhou is Guizhou.

Sicheng Prefecture was promoted to the capital of Sizhou.

So there are three mansions, Anqing Mansion, Sizhou Mansion, and Yinzhou Mansion.

On the way to his post, Li Kuang wrote a letter to Xue Xuan to learn about the situation in Sanfu.

Xue Xuan spoke truthfully.

Li Kuang had a good relationship with him, and he recommended him, and the two formed a relationship of both prosperity and loss.

But Li Kuang was upright, fair and selfless, and ignored the request.

In the letter, the two only talked about business, not anything else, and understood each other.

After Li Kuang took office, he straightened out the soldiers, pacified the immigrants, and was in good order.

Li Kuang ordered the government to occupy a share of the shipbuilding base in Anqing Prefecture, and the shipbuilding base should provide the government with some ship support on a regular basis for free repairs.

And Li Kuang merged the Han and Tu soldiers, rectified the 30,000 male divisions, and kept drilling.

He also wrote a letter to Zhang Feng, asking Zhang Feng to send the displaced people from Nanzhili to Sanfu for resettlement.

And learn from Ou Xin, take the lead, clean up small cottages, open roads, move people to cities, re-measure land, and distribute acres.

"Meet the Governor!" Bian Yong saluted.

Xue Xuan was still busy and waved his hand: "Shiyuan (Bian Yong)'s son? Don't care about red tape, Guangxi is a wild land, different from the Han land. ”

These words made the students of Jingxuan Academy laugh.

Although Xue Xuan is a great master of science and a great thinker, he is humorous and informal.

"When students look at Guangxi, they see that it is thriving, although it is far less prosperous than Beijing, but students see hope!"

Xue Xuan's eyes lit up: "The word hope is used well." ”

When it was almost time to eat, he asked the public to prepare the meal.

The meal is the dish prescribed by the imperial doctor, and the nutritious meal that the imperial doctor gives him, no matter where he is, must be eaten according to the recipe.

Xue Xuan smiled and said, "Zihe (Yan Yuxi), what do you think is hope?" ”

Yan Yuxi and Liu Jian are fellow villagers, and when Xue Xuan served in Hedong (east of the Yellow River), he traveled thousands of miles to apprentice, and was recognized by Xue Xuan and admitted to the court.

"Teacher, students think there are three hopes."

Yan Yuxi put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "In spring, the willow tree pulls out the buds, which means that the vitality is reborn, this is hope, just like this Guangxi, after the chaos, ushered in the great governance, this is hope." ”

"But the hope in Mr. Kezhen's mouth should be the light in the eyes of the people, and this is the hope in the hearts of the people."

"Third, it is the canteen made by the teacher and the disciples, which is also hope."

Xue Xuan looked at him in surprise.

Yan Yuxi smiled and said, "If we follow red tape, how can disciples share a table with the teacher to eat?" ”

"And how can the teacher follow the red tape, and personally guide the local officials to resettle the displaced people?"

"And in this canteen, the atmosphere is free, and this is hope."

Bian Yong's eyes lit up slightly, and they all said that Xue Xuan created the study of Hedong and was respected by tens of thousands of people, and the apprentices he taught were also top-notch talents.

"The hope in the eyes of the students is only the hope in the eyes of the people, but I didn't expect that the officials and the canteen were also full of hope." Bian Yong bowed deeply.

Xue Xuan also put down his chopsticks, and felt that he had indeed changed a lot.

In the past, he was a master admired by everyone, he was an official to teach, and pioneered the study of Hedong, and his disciples were all over Shanxi, Henan, and Shaanxi.

His doctrine is magnificent, and he thinks that the way of reason is a great achievement.

His poems, which he thinks have reached their peak, have become chapters of export, and have become poems in seven steps, and his name will go down in history.

However.

When he was deeply involved in the people, when he really did something practical for the people, he couldn't even chant a word of poetry, and his doctrine seemed to be from a high vantage point, and it did not change the lives of the people at all.

This made him begin to doubt himself, his doctrine, and even the misguided children.

In the past, he liked empty talk, and always wrote some fake empty words when he played, and wrote the music as beautifully as possible, and every piece of music was popular.

However, all the exhortations are from a lofty position, high above, all the rhetoric he uses, although gorgeous, but full of falsehood, he is a master of science, a master of literature, a master of thought, but his own job is indeed an official!

He should not be compassionate in poetry and books, but should go to the people, do a practical thing for the people, and realize his ambitions!

After doubting himself countless times, Xue Xuan decided to change.

He put down his beloved books, let go of a comfortable life, and when he was over seventy years old, he began to go from the governor's mansion to the people, to see the real life of the people, to do a practical thing that is useful to the people, but will not be famous for eternity.

From ancient times to the present, talents who do practical things will not be written in the history books, but those who can only talk and write a few poems will be remembered by future generations.

Xue Xuan especially remembered that the first time he was doing farm work, his hands were covered with blood blisters, and when he broke it, he didn't feel pain, but was particularly surprised.

This is the real folk, which does not exist in poetry and books, but is the real folk life of flesh and blood.

He has written many poems, many fables, and even operas.

At this moment, he thinks that what he wrote before is the disease-free moaning of the people's suffering, and after doing farm work for a day, he knows that the bullshit he wrote is not as good.

From that moment on, Xue Xuan found that his doctrine had many deficiencies.

Once upon a time, he thought that his theory of "re-nature" had been perfected day by day, and his "nature" was "reason", which was mainly formed by nurture.

And the theory needs to be formed from the day after tomorrow.

In the same way, it is necessary to do folk work and realize the Tao from these "principles".

He found a new path.

He abandoned the previous empty talk, sitting and talking, and unrealistic, and he once entered the cabinet wholeheartedly, thinking that only by entering the cabinet can he do things for the people of the world.

However, he has only now discovered that fulfilling the responsibilities of officials and doing things for the people does not depend on the level of position, nor on whether the doctrine is prominent, as long as he is willing in his heart, no matter what position he is in, he can realize his "reason".

"Teacher, but what the student said is not right?" Yan Yuxi saw that Xue Xuan was stunned and asked.

Yan Yuxi's "Guarding the Mother's Grave" is famous in history.

And he is not the material for being an official, he is too upright, he speaks too directly, and it is easy to offend people.

But he was the one who carried forward the Hedong Doctrine.

"That's right."

Xue Xuan said with a smile: "Although the teacher is over seventy years old, he is also full of hope, Ke Zhen, I hope the second son will use it well." ”

He felt like he was about to become enlightened.

Perhaps, Da Ming is going to have another saint again.

With Xue Xuan's ability, he is already qualified to accompany the Confucian Temple.

But he is one line away from sanctification, and this line is like a moat.

His doctrine, after all, is to inherit and improve Zhu Xi, and he has not walked out of a completely own road!

And after being a local official for more than a year, many of his realizations started from the magistrate, and he found that his future Tao may be in this people!

If only he could go out of his own way.

He can become the first saint of the Ming Dynasty!

I don't dare to say that I am super Cheng Zhu, but he is also an epoch-making saint.

"But the teacher has a new understanding?" Many students looked at Xue Xuan in surprise.

Xue Xuanhan smiled: "There is nothing for the time being, which means that there are still few things to do for the teacher, everyone, the reason for the teacher, is not in the heart, but in the matter!" ”

He is a master of psychology, although he defends Zhu Xi's science, but it is different from Zhu Xi's theory, he believes that the "repetition" is to see, listen, speak, and move according to reason.

This is to refine and enrich Zhu Xi's science.

But he has not walked out of a "reason" of his own for a long time, and this "reason" may be at his feet!

Thinking about it, he stood up excitedly.

"Teacher, you haven't finished your meal yet!" Zhang Ding stood up and said.

Xue Xuan snorted, the meal formulated by the imperial doctor must not be delicious and difficult to swallow, so he took the opportunity not to eat it.

Zhang Ding didn't intend to let him go: "Teacher, this is the meal that the imperial doctor has formulated for you, for the sake of your body, and it is your majesty's heart, how can you live up to it?" ”

"Ahem, I want to drink tea for the teacher, and I will eat it later." Xue Xuan made an excuse.

Zhang Ding put down his chopsticks, ran out quickly, and came in with tea: "Please use it slowly, teacher." ”

Xue Xuan's face turned bitter, and he took a green vegetable with chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

This kind of boiled dish is really hard to swallow.

He likes to eat mutton, and the doctor thinks that he is greasy and hurts his stomach, so he suffers from disease, so he should eat more seasonal vegetables and less meat, and the weather in Guangxi is hot, so he should quit greasy.

After using the medicinal diet prescription of the imperial doctor, others lost a lot of weight, but their spirits were much better than before.

Bian Yong looks interesting, a dignified science master, but he is controlled by the students in terms of meals, which is really interesting.

Xue Xuan was not angry, he ate the food with his head down, and accepted the supervision of the students.

And the students had great respect for Xue Xuan, because the emperor specially sent the imperial doctor to recuperate Xue Xuan's body, and even took them without scolding the emperor, and began to talk about the benefits of the emperor.

In the afternoon, Xue Xuan rushed to the yamen again.

New immigrants are less settled in Guilin Province, because Guilin Province is relatively well sinicized.

Most of them should be placed in Xunzhou Mansion, Wuming Mansion and Lianzhou Mansion.

Wuming Mansion is the new name after the merger of the original Si'en Mansion and Tianzhou.

The Xunzhou Prefecture was able to expand its land in the western part of Yulin Prefecture, the former capital of Wuzhou, and these places were suitable for the resettlement of new immigrants.

In the evening, Xue Xuan asked Bian Yong to ask questions, and tested Bian Yong's scriptures, and was very satisfied with Bian Yong.

Hearing that Bian Yong was apprenticed to a rich man, he was a little disappointed.

He opened the school palace, and naturally hoped that the more students who would learn his teachings, the better.

Because the rainy season in Annam has not yet passed.

Bian Yong was recruited by Xue Xuan to go to Xunzhou Mansion to settle new immigrants.

This is also the first time that Bian Yong has participated in actual government affairs.

And in July, Nanzhili.

The weather is very hot and people's hearts are cold.

Wang Hong killed the important ministers Cheng Tong, Cheng Xian and others, and killed the hearts of Nanzhili.

Nanzhili officials appealed to the center.

However, the center came with a holy decree, and Wang Hong was not only innocent, but instead sent Cheng Tong, Cheng Xian and others into Jiuyou, and their clan was exiled to Guangxi.

The Yin family was heavily reprimanded by the court, directly executed, and exiled to Qiongzhou Mansion.

It can be described as very miserable.

Wang Hong is even more unscrupulous in doing things.

There are many Nanzhili clans, and there are as many powerful people as dogs, even if they are top wealthy families, they are countless.

However, Wang Hong first took Jiangning Li's knife.

The ancestor of the Li family can be traced back to Longxi Li, and in the Ming Dynasty, there were four jinshi, the contemporary jinshi Li Yuanzhong, who served as the right attendant of the criminal department in Nanjing.

The Li family is in Jiangning, he is kind and charitable, and his reputation is very good, but the land in Jiangning is all under the name of the Li family, and his family has many tenants.

But the head of the Li family is Li Yuanzhong's younger brother, Li Yuanyi.

At this moment, Li Yuanyi knelt on the ground and shouted: "Lord Qincha, do you want to kill my Li clan?" Do you want to put all the gentry of Nanzhili to death? ”

"Li Yuanyi, you take yourself too seriously, don't you?" Wang Hong sneered.

His brother Li Yuanzhong confessed that his family was involved in the maritime trade and was willing to pay 240,000 taels of confession silver.

However, Wang Hong still did not let go of his family.

"My family has already paid the confession money, and the adults have reversed their word, is it still my Li family's fault?"

In Li Yuanyi's eyes, the Li family was killed by Wang Hong to set an example for the monkey, and because the Li family had no foundation in the center, they were proposed to be killed.

In order to deter other families and collect more confession money.

Wang Hong is the tool sent by the emperor to collect money from Nanzhili, where can such an emperor still be respected by the people of the world?

"Humph!"

Wang Hong snorted coldly: "In the third year of orthodoxy, the case of your family branch killing the tenant was finally settled. ”

"In the seventh year of orthodoxy, the big copper mountain thieves rebelled, and after the court suppressed it, the bandit leader confessed that the family seized the mine, squeezed the miners, and the miners rebelled.

"In the eleventh year of orthodoxy, Zhang Qiang, a good citizen, entered Tianfu to sue your family for seizing his family's land, and during the complaint, Zhang Qiang disappeared for no reason."

"Do you want this pavilion to continue to talk about all this?"

Wang Hong didn't pick a random one.

But every house, after checking the evidence, he will visit in person.

The Li family is still hiding a big crime!

Li Yuanyi laughed miserably: "Which big family doesn't have any bullshit?" ”

"If you kill the big clan because of this, then how many big clans in the world are innocent?"

"Let's just say that you are Wang, can you guarantee that all of them are saints?"

"Can't!"

"There are so many interests in the world, if I have more Li family, you Wang family will have less! Who can not be blinded by interests? Can you Wang Hong? ”

"Hehe, isn't it just to fight for that little more benefit when you Wang Hong stepped on my Li family's bones and climbed up today?"

"The only difference is that you, Wang Hong, are fighting in the court, and my Li family can only fight with the people!"

Li Yuanyi roared, his face full of disbelief.

He knew that he would die, and he had no scruples.

Wang Hong's face was cold: "Li Yuanyi, you take your family too seriously!" ”

"If this pavilion wants to kill people and establish power, how can it be possible to pick your Li family?"

"Use your brain!"

"Think about it, why did this pavilion pick your Li family!"

Seeing Li Yuanyi's blank face, Wang Hong sneered: "Then this pavilion will make you die a little more clearly." ”

"Why are the displaced people in Taiping Province unwilling to be relocated?"

"They would rather hide in the mountains than change places to survive."

"Why?"

Wang Hong suddenly burst into tears: "You come and tell this pavilion!" ”

Li Yuanyi's eyes widened suddenly, and his expression was shocked: "Yes, Li Yuanzhong confessed?" ”

"Won't this pavilion check it yourself?" Wang Hong drank vigorously.

That's right.

Not only Wang Cheng is appeasing the displaced people, Zhang Feng is also appeasing the displaced people near Yingtianfu.

But these displaced people are unwilling to come out of the mountains, or to move to Guangxi, or even to resettle back to their hometowns.

Zhang Feng believes that this is the gentry who are doing it.

Therefore, Wang Hong's second sword, the sword slashes the gentry!

The gentry he picked were all gentry families who were tied to the homeless, did not allow the homeless to settle down, and did not allow the homeless to move!

These gentry families used to oppress tenants, households, and good people, and even these people became black households, and they were not willing to let them go.

What will happen to those displaced people who have no way to survive and who have lost hope?

Naturally, it's a rebellion!

If you dig up the roots of the Ming Dynasty, then today the official will patrol the hunt on behalf of the heavens and kill you!

"Li Yuanyi, do you still dare to say justice?"

Wang Hong stared at him: "If your family is just bullying tenants, or if you commit those crimes, this pavilion can turn the page!" Fines are fine! ”

"But what did your family do?"

"All the living people have been turned into black households, miners, and lackeys of your family! Work day and night for your family! Until man dies! ”

"If it's limited to this, this pavilion will let your family live!"

"But what else did your family do?"

"To persuade the displaced people to oppose the imperial court, in order to cover up the crime of privately occupying the mines and opening up the sea trade, and even, for the benefit of the other family, regardless of the survival of tens of millions of people in Nanzhili, let alone the losses caused by the rebellion of the central bullet!"

Wang Hong said coldly: "Your whole family, it's not a pity to die!" ”

"Someone's coming!"

"Drag Li Yuanyi out! Gather all the people in the county, at the entrance of the vegetable market, open Lingchi! ”

Wang Hong shouted: "His direct clansmen, all Ling Chi!" ”

"The people of its partial tribe will be handed over to the local people for trial, the guilty will be killed, and the innocent will be exiled to Qiongzhou Mansion! Forever you can't go back to Nanzhili! ”

Li Yuanyi roared: "Wang Hong, you can't wipe out my Li family!" ”

"When Emperor Taizu fought the world, my Li family paid grain for Emperor Taizu, and I was the chief of grain for Emperor Taizu! It's the hero of the Ming Dynasty! ”

"You can't wipe out my family!"

Hero?

You deserve it too!

"Will the people whom you have killed also let out such a roar before they die?" Wang Hong asked him.

When he boarded, Li Yuanyi was like pinching his neck.

He laughed stupidly: "Wang Hong, what kind of saint are you pretending?" What your Wang family has done is not much less than my Li family! ”

"My royal family will never raise 100,000 homeless people for their own selfishness."

Wang Hong dragged people out and pointed at him: "Let him die last!" ”

To see his loved ones die in front of him is the biggest punishment for Li Yuanyi.

And the news of Li Yuanyi's being Ling Chi caused a sensation in the entire Jiangning.

Fan Qing, who followed Wang Hong's case, said: "My lord, that Li Yuanyi is just a bird, and the person behind him has not been found out, so why don't you leave him alive first?" ”

"There's no need, kill what should be killed, no blood, how can you deter the gentry?"

"As for the people behind it?"

"Keep killing, they will naturally surface!"

Wang Hong will water his way to Shoufu with blood.

The Li family is really hateful.

But the people behind it are more hateful, so kill them until they come out.

The reason why Wang Hong knew about this was also due to Fan Qing.

Zhang Feng appeased the displaced people near Jiangning, but there was little response.

Asked Fan Qing to investigate, and the investigation found that there were about more than 100,000 displaced people in Jiangning, hidden in the rivers and mountains, Zhang Feng tried to pacify, but was resisted by the refugees, and many officers and soldiers died.

Fan Qing sent people to blend in, only to learn that these homeless people were controlled by the local scholars.

Without the orders of the nobles, these outcasts could not move at all.

Therefore, Wang Hong directly killed the Li family in Jiangning, and used the head of the Li family to deter the local gentry and release the displaced people.

These homeless people are time bombs, which may blow up the best situation of the Ming Dynasty at any time.

"Go with the Honkaku!"

Wang Hong visits the next family.

The small Jiangning has six big families, and the small scholar clans are endless.

The second family surnamed Si, as soon as Wang Hong entered the hospital, he saw everyone in the Si family kneeling on the ground, begging Wang Hong for mercy.

Wang Hong asked people to move a chair and put it on the steps: "This pavilion asks, you answer, if you deceive this pavilion, this pavilion will give you an arrow." ”

Everyone in the Si family is frightened, are you a literati? This is the style of the factory guard!

"How many tenants do you have?"

Tenants are the roots of the Jiangnan gentry.

When the head of the Si family heard that the Li family was being killed by the vegetable market, he was full of horror and didn't dare to hide it: "Lord Hui, there are a total of 4,700 tenants. ”

That's a staggering number.

Fortunately, Jiangnan people are not good at fighting, otherwise the Ming Dynasty will never have peace.

"Can include hidden households?" Wang Hong asked again.

The corner of the head of the Si family's eyes twitched, these hidden households, there are sheltered homeless people, there are good people who have lost their household registration, there are soldiers who have abandoned military households, and there are craftsmen who have abandoned their craftsman status.

And the head of the Si family replied too slowly.

Wang Hong pointed casually.

Dongchang raised his bow and crossbow and raised an arrow.

And he saw that the family of Nasi was shot and killed on the spot.

The head of the Si family widened his eyes: "My lord......"

"Answer!" Wang Hong said coldly.

The head of the Si family looked at the heavily armed factory guards in horror, the number of factory guards was not large, but Wang Hong had the right to transfer troops, and he could mobilize the entire Nanzhili army.

"Not included."

Really!

This staggering number is only the tenants on record, and there are many unrecorded, these people are the most dangerous.

"How many?"

The head of the Si family said cautiously: "There are still 1,146 people!" ”

Fan Qing's pupils shrank!

There are so many people, and besides, this number must be small!

The real situation, there will be more.

"Who are they? How did you get into your home? Wang Hong asked.

The head of the Si family said cautiously: "Lord Hui, my family has a good heart, and I can't see the people suffering, so I gathered some displaced people...... Yes! ”

The words are not finished.

The head of the Si family screamed, and he covered his shoulders and screamed.

Dongchang Xiaowuyi's arrow shot at his shoulder socket, dripping with blood.

"My lord? Why archery? I'm telling the truth! The head of the Si family screamed, and the arrow pierced into the bones, and the pain was to death.

"Is your family good? Don't be a face! ”

Wang Hong sneered: "Recruited from the truth, what are the ingredients of your family's hidden households?" ”

"They're all homeless!" The head of the Si family cried.

Shout!

Another arrow struck him in the other shoulder.

The head of the Si family was lying on the ground, trembling in pain.

"Next time, kill your dog!"

Wang Hong didn't believe a word of his words.

If the landlord has good intentions, the world will not be in chaos!

The worst in the world is the landlord and the capitalist! No matter how bad the politicians are, they will not harm the people, and this group of people is specially trying to harm the people.

"Don't scream!"

Wang Hong was annoyed when he heard this: "This pavilion will ask you again for the last time, and say!" ”

The head of the Si family gritted his teeth, and he didn't dare to scream, but the corners of his mouth were bitten by his teeth, spilling blood, and he trembled: "There are craftsmen, and some are shipbuilders......

Fan Qing looked at Wang Hong in surprise.

Wang Hong and Zhang Feng guessed right, the Songjiang Mansion boatwright of the Yongle Dynasty disappeared with the treasure ship, where did these people go?

In the archives of the court, it has always been a mysterious case.

After Zhang Feng determined that the Yin family was hiding the sea ships, he guessed that the disappearance of the boatmen would also have something to do with the local scholars.

As a result, I really found it after checking.

These shipwrights have indeed been divided among the local gentry!

Or rather, they just took a sip of soup!

The big head should fall into the pockets of the powerful.

"Is it just a boatwright? Don't have a military household? Wang Hong pointed casually.

Another Si family member was shot.

The head of the Si family looked at Wang Hong, who was like a Yama, and said sadly: "My lord, my family is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, is the Ming Dynasty treating loyal ministers like this?" Although the grass people are civilians, they also have to appeal to His Majesty and ask for justice! ”

"Loyal?"

Wang Hong sneered: "Don't insult this word, you are loyal to interests, right?" ”

"Do you want justice?"

"Okay!"

"Go and appeal to Your Majesty to see if Your Majesty wants to ask you why your family is harboring a shipwright. What are you going to do? ”

"There are more than 1,000 hidden households, is your Si family going to rebel?"

"Your Majesty will give you justice? Or will you be punished by the Nine Clans? ”

Wang Hong's question.

The head of the Si family stared at his round eyes: "Slander!" This is slander! Our family is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and will never dare to have any dissent? Yes! ”

There was a sudden scream.

An arrow pierced his heart.

He looked at Wang Hong blankly, never expecting that Wang Hong would treat human life like a mustard!

Feel free to kill him! Reckless!

"What's the use of keeping you with such a bark?"

Wang Hong sneered: "Facts speak louder than words, your Si family harbors craftsmen and military households, and you should have punished the nine clans!" ”

"This pavilion sees that there is a virtue of good life in heaven, and only punishes the evil, that is, the Mo family's property, and the family is exiled."

Wang Hong cut through the mess with a quick knife.

Regardless of the wailing of the Si family, he directly sent Dongchang to raid his house, and after counting the population, he dispersed and exiled Guangxi, Hunan, and Guizhou.

Fan Qing looked at Wang Hong, this Wang Hong really didn't look like a civil official, but more like a factory guard.

It's very spicy to do things, regardless of fame.

As everyone knows, this is a political transaction between Wang Hong and the emperor, if Wang Hong takes care of his reputation, he will not be able to get the position of the first assistant or the secretary of the ministry.

He knew very well that the emperor was about to come to Nanzhili.

The people he killed were just appetizers, and when the emperor came, the gentry would find out how lucky they were.

Naturally, the emperor will help him cover up the truth of the murder.

Wang Hong killed people in Jiangning.

At the same time, Li Zhen personally led the army to the vicinity of Jiangning to pacify the displaced people.

Wang Hong rushed to Hezhou.

Zhang Feng sent people to count the number of displaced people, recruited a large number of ships, loaded the displaced people, and transported them to Hunan.

Without the Jiangning Shi clan as an obstacle, the migration was relatively smooth.

The person in charge of transporting the displaced people was Kim Zhaobo.

Jin Zhaobo is a second-year jinshi in Xuande, and his political performance is mediocre.

But he has a cow father, his father's name is Jin Youzi, who is a famous minister of Yongle, Hongxi, and Xuande Dynasty, and has the merit of entering the Confucian Temple.

Zhang Feng's choice of his son Jin Zhaobo is meaningful.

Wang Hong killed people in Jiangning, shocking the scholars, and the strange thing is that in several nearby counties, the displaced people actually obediently got on the boat and obediently went to Hunan.

In the past, they were reluctant in every way, why did they suddenly change their sexuality and be willing to be removed from Nanzhili?

Zhang Feng predicts that a total of 170,000 displaced people will be collected this time.

Although there were many ships to be recruited, they also needed to be transported twice before they could all be transported, so he first wrote to Han Yong, Xue Xuan, and Li Kuang, asking them to take charge of receiving them.

Loaded on the ship here, transported.

On the other hand, they had to settle down, distribute acreage, distribute seeds, farm tools, build houses, and lend them some food for urgent needs.

And Wang Hong has already arrived in Hezhou.

Hezhou is Nanjing Zhili Prefecture.

Wang Hong first picked the big family of Hezhou, the Gan family.

The Gan family also has officials serving in Nanzhili, and his family's poems and books are passed down to the family, and they have a good reputation in the local area.

Hearing that Wang Hong was coming, the Gan family fled in all directions.

And the person who climbed over the wall and went out, as soon as he climbed out, was thrown in from the outside, and if he was lucky, he fell on the ground and did not die, but if he was unlucky, he fell directly to death.

Wang Hong swaggered in.

Ask someone to move a chair and sit on the steps.

Gather all the people of the Gan family together.

The head of the Gan family was weak, and said tremblingly: "My lord, my Gan family has recruited everything!" ”

"What's the matter?" Wang Hong asked with a smile.

"My family also has a hidden household, but my family has been released, and all of them have been released!" The head of the Gan family does not ask for self-recruitment.

Wang Hong asked him instead: "How do you know about Jiangning?" ”

The head of the Gan family was stunned for a moment, and looked at Wang Hong stupidly.

"This pavilion came out of Jiangning, it only took one day, and it arrived at your house, there was no rest along the way, and the speed was faster than the gallop, how do you know what this pavilion did in Jiangning?"

Wang Hong's tone was originally calm, but he suddenly burst into tears: "Recruit from the truth!" ”

The head of the Gan family trembled: "This, this!" ”

Shout!

Xiao Wu shoots a crossbow.

A Gan family screamed non-stop and did not die.

Xiao Wu smiled embarrassedly at Wang Hong, and then shot a second crossbow arrow to kill the man.

The head of the Gan family was terrified: "The grass and grass people got the news from the mouths of the homeless people, and they spread it by word of mouth, and the speed was faster than that of the boat!" ”

Wang Hong didn't believe it, it must have been the people around him who were bribed by the gentry to pass on the information early.

He didn't care, he just shocked the gentry, not exterminated the gentry.

He doesn't have the skills, and he won't do it.

"This pavilion asks you, how many people are in your family?"

The head of the Gan family didn't dare not answer: "1426 people, most of them are homeless, there are a small number of artisan households, but they hid their identities, and the grass people didn't know it at the time. ”

Wang Hong didn't dwell on this matter, and continued to ask: "Why are you hiding the hidden household?" ”

Isn't this nonsense? Who doesn't hide it?

Of course, it's less tax, and besides, it's easy to do some dirty things.

"This cabinet asks another question, and the displaced people in the state, does your family say it?"

The head of the Gan family didn't expect Wang Hong to be so direct.

He muttered: "Because of the proximity to Nanjing and the development of commerce and trade, a lot of land has been abandoned. ”

"However, the local grain in Jiangnan is too cheap, and the price is high, the farmers who farm the fields can't even afford to eat, and when the households have to pay taxes, many people can't afford to pay taxes, so they take the initiative to become homeless."

"Although my family is a big local family, I really don't count the matter of being homeless."

He was telling the truth.

The grain is cheap and hurts the peasants.

The rice grain in the south of the Yangtze River is too cheap, if there is no transportation, it can be transported to the north for sale, and the price will continue to fall, which will lead to the people abandoning the land, the gentry do not grow grain, but plant mulberry trees instead, and do a more profitable textile industry.

In particular, the development of commerce and trade in Nanzhili naturally formed a contradiction between commerce and agriculture.

The Ming Dynasty is trying its best to focus on agriculture and suppress business, that is, it is worried that the people will engage in business, but no one is willing to farm the dilemma.

The center tried its best to suppress Nanzhili, which was also suppressing Nanzhili's business and alleviating the contradictions between merchants and farmers.

However, after all, the peasants are alone, and in the face of capital, they can only be left to their own devices, being manipulated by others, occasionally resisting, but also violently resisting, and rebelling.

In fact, it has always been clear to the peasants that it is not the imperial court that oppresses them at all, but capital.

Perhaps behind the capital are officials.

But the most effective means for the peasants was to rebel against capital, not against the imperial court.

"This pavilion asks you, this pavilion wants to move the displaced people of Hezhou, as well as all the hidden households and tenants of Hezhou, out of Hezhou, do you agree?"

The head of the Gan family is stunned, should I agree?

Of course I can't agree with it!

Without tenants, who will grow food for my family?

If you don't grow food, what will happen to the agricultural taxes that the government will collect? If the households can't afford to pay, they can throw the ground and run away, and if they can't afford it, they will rob their homes and exterminate the clan!

This is a contradiction between the landlord and the government.

"Spare your life!" The head of the Gan family cried and begged.

"Your family has hands and feet, why can't you plow the land yourself?"

Can the head of the Gan family say?

One-third of the land in Hezhou is in the hands of my family, and if all the tenants are taken away, my family of hundreds of people, even if all of them go to the land, they will not be able to cultivate it in a hundred years!

"Your Gan family will pay the confession silver according to the crimes committed by your family, and other criminal responsibilities will be sentenced by the local magistrate."

Wang Hong was too lazy to talk nonsense.

Stand up and go.

But the head of the Gan family cried and said, "My lord, if you move away from my tenants, my family's acres of land will be abandoned!" ”

"If the famine is abandoned, how to supply the grain and rice of Beizhili?"

"If there is no ......"

Jerked!

Wang Hong stopped and slowly turned his head: "What did you say?" Threaten the Pavilion with the Kyoshi? ”

"That's not what grass people mean, it's ......"

Burst!

An arrow pierced through his chest.

Wang Hong shouted: "Anyone who dares to ignore the safety of Jingshi will be killed!" ”

"A man without a king and a father, why waste rice and grain?"

The Gan family was terrified.

If you don't listen to it, you just kill people!

My Gan family can pay the money and let you move Dingkou, but you can't kill people casually! And there is no royal law anymore!

Not really!

The emperor sent Wang Hong, just to use the bandit to deal with the gentry!

The gentry and the peasants played scoundrels, and the homeless people played scoundrels, and the court had nothing to do with them.

This time, the court and the gentry played scoundrels.

Let's see if my knife is sharp!

"Your family has hands and feet, how can you not plow the land!"

"If you can't pay the agricultural tax on time, just wait for the whole house to be beheaded!"

"The underworld is still rich, and it can accommodate the souls of your nine clans!"

Wang Hong asked again: "Do you understand?" ”

What does the Gan family dare to say? I can only kowtow and make it clear.

And the blood of the head of the family flowed in front of their eyes, and their hearts were full of sorrow.

Wang Hong doesn't care about the life or death of the Gan family at all, no, he doesn't care whether the gentry live or die, this is the official forcing the people to rebel.

Next.

is also a big family in Hezhou, surnamed Mei.

The Mei family is different from the Gan family, there are women in his family who are concubines in the Dingguo Mansion.

But when Wang Hong entered, he said directly: "What about your concubine?" ”

The Mei family was taken aback, although the Mei family is a concubine, but it is also the concubine of the Duke of Guo, no matter how high your official position is, it can't be higher than the Duke of Guo, right?

"My lord, Madame naturally wants to serve Grandpa Guo in the Guogong Mansion, how can she be in her mother's house?"

The head of the Mei family is Mei's father, and he is quite rude.

He has no fame, but he does not kneel when he sees officials.

Wang Hong sneered twice: "The Duke of Dingguo is already difficult to protect himself, just a concubine, this pavilion can kill him with a hand!" ”

The head of the Mei family was taken aback: "How could Dingguo Gong?" ”

"What? Still putting a concubine on the shelf? ”

Wang Hong sneered: "Come on, whip him three times, and then talk to this pavilion!" ”

Dongchang Fanzi directly pressed the head of the Mei family, took off his clothes, and smoked directly naked.

In front of his daughter-in-law!

The head of the Mei family is more ashamed.

He was not allowed to call out.

Because Wang Hong didn't want to hear it.

"I heard that your family is good at weaving, but it is very stingy with weavers, and the local weavers have revolted many times, all because of your family."

Wang Hong said quietly: "Is there such a thing?" ”

"My lord, this is all rumors, although there are several textile factories in my family, but honestly, do business with duty, how much money is given to the weaver, the price is clearly marked, there is no trace of a milligram deduction."

The head of the Mei family was beaming and said that he hadn't finished talking for a long time.

"If this pavilion asks you, you just say yes or no, and that's it." Wang Hong told him.

The head of the Mei family touched a nail and said in a muffled voice: "No." ”

"How many weavers do you have in your family?"

The head of the Mei family was surprised, are you here to investigate the case or the textile factory? How many weavers in my textile factory have a fart relationship with you!

Shout!

An arrow pierced through a Mei family.

"Benge ask quickly, you answer quickly, Benge has no time to waste in your house!" Wang Hong said coldly.

The head of the Mei family showed compassion in his eyes, the one who was shot was his son!

"761 people in total!"

Wang Hong said: "There are more than 700 people, and there are three large textile factories, and they can weave thousands of feet of cloth in one day? ”

"What? Are all your weavers weavers? ”

"Are they all immortals?"

"How much cloth can you weave in one day?"

"When the Cabinet doesn't know how to settle accounts? It's still a fool to take the world! ”

Wang Hong didn't come casually, he had investigated every one of them.

During this time, Dongchang has been collecting criminal evidence of all the gentry in Nanzhili.

The head of the Mei family was anxious: "My lord, my family occasionally gives work to the common people, so naturally it can weave so much cloth." ”

Wang Hong pointed to a person.

Xiao Wu shot an arrow with a bow, and the man was shot in the blink of an eye.

The eyes of the head of the Mei family are red, his family relies on the power of the concubine of Dingguo, and it is a top and one gateway in Hezhou, only his family bullies other people's families, where is he being ridden on the head and?

"Your Excellency!"

"My family has a share of its duty, I don't owe a cent of business taxes, and I pay the most grain every year!"

"Do your best for Daming!"

"What crime has my family committed? If you raise your hand and point at it, you're going to kill one of my family! Isn't there a royal law in the Ming Dynasty? ”

The head of the Mei family couldn't stand this anger.

He is usually majestic, and he doesn't take the court officials in his eyes at all.

After all, he is a concubine, which official can't give the prince a few thin faces, where can he dare to provoke him?

Wang Hong sneered: "There is indeed a national law, but it is the good people who are right." ”

"And you, too, deserve to talk to this cabinet about the law of the country?"

"Mei Ze, since this pavilion has come to your house, it has already thoroughly investigated your house."

"You're still arguing with this pavilion, is this pavilion going to be a hunting agent for the heavens, but it's going to grind with you and talk nonsense?"

Mei Ze's face was full of unconvinced: "The adult patrols the sky on behalf of the hunt, there should always be a sin for killing people!" What kind of crime did my family commit! Death must also make people die to understand! ”

Wang Hong ignored him: "This pavilion continues to ask ......"

Mei Ze interrupted Wang Hong's words and asked sharply: "My lord, if you kill people indiscriminately, aren't you afraid that the gentry will fight back?" ”

"The gentry?"

"You, a sycophant who sells women as concubines, are also worthy of being called a scholar?"

"How many Jinshi does your Mei family have? Who is in the court? ”

Wang Hong shouted: "There is no one, what kind of gentry can you talk about?" Do you deserve it? ”

"You are just a rural landlord and old wealth, relying on sending a daughter as a concubine, you have the protection of the Dingguo Mansion, and you are doing nonsense in Hezhou!"

"This pavilion asked you, but you were vague, saying that you would give the work to the people?"

But he asked this cabinet, why did it hurt people? If you answer this pavilion in your own right, will this pavilion kill your Mei family? ”

"Hmph, you have committed a felony, but you ask Benge what crime you have committed?"

"Did you really come to your house when this pavilion didn't check anything?"

"Umezawa!"

"This pavilion asked you to give you a chance to repent, since you don't want it, don't regret it!"

"This pavilion will tell you directly that your Mei family will forcibly turn tens of thousands of women into black households, imprison you in your textile factory, and work for you!"

"Jingtai's four-year Hezhou weaver rebellion was caused by your family, the husbands of those women couldn't find their wives, their sons couldn't find their mothers, and they had no way to ask for help, so they could only launch an uprising and rebel against the court! I just want to bring back my wife and mother! ”

"And you, because you have the protection of Dingguo Gong, the center didn't find you, but only suppressed the uprising, but didn't investigate the cause of the uprising!"

"So let your beasts get away with it!"

"How innocent are these women? What about their families? ”

"This pavilion is patrolling the heavens, since it has been investigated, we must give these innocent people justice!"

Wang Hong shouted: "Someone! ”

"Arrest all the nine Umezawa clans!"

"Go to the vegetable market, Ling Chi!"

Mei Ze sat on the ground softly, not knowing at all, how did this matter come to light?

shouted: "Wang Hong! My daughter is the concubine of Dingguo Gong, do you dare to delay me? ”

"Since you know that this pavilion is called Wang Hong!"

"Then you should know that Ma Shun was powerful back then, and this pavilion still dared to kill him!"

"What kind of thing is he just a national prince! It's just a waste of the ancestors' merit book! ”

"But they shelter such beasts as you! A felony has been committed! ”

"This cabinet has written to Your Majesty, and it will definitely punish the Duke of the Kingdom severely!"

"As for your family, this pavilion has a holy decree and a sword of the Son of Heaven, you can rely on the sword of the Son of Heaven to act on behalf of the sky, behead the ministers, and kill the people of Li!"

"This cabinet will uphold justice for the wronged people today!"

"Someone! Do it! ”

Wang Hong roared.

Dongchang agreed in unison, and began to enter the mansion to arrest people, and anyone who encountered resistance should be slashed first, not hacked to death, so that they could be Ling Chi and enjoy the extreme pain.

The Mei family, these beasts, don't even think about running.

Out of the Mei Mansion.

Fan Qing felt that Wang Hong had gone too far, and said in a low voice: "My lord, are we here to deter the gentry, not to kill them all?" ”

Wang Hong glanced at him, as if the pavilion was a brocade guard and he was a civil official.

"Afraid of what?"

"Back then, this pavilion was in the Fengtian Palace, and he dared to kill the powerful Ma Shun!"

"What is a few gentry?"

"If you're afraid, don't follow this pavilion!"

Wang Hong asked people to prepare a meal, he ate a few bites briefly, and went to the next house.

Hezhou, to be killed by him.

In Luzhou Mansion, which is next door to Hezhou, Wang Cheng is in Chao County, and the distance between Chao County and the state is no more than a day's distance, and Hanshan County is separated by it.

The fief of Princess Hanshan is Hanshan.

When he learned the news of Princess Hanshan's death, Wang Cheng sensed that the opportunity to rectify the five mansions had come.

He started cleaning up in Chao County, which is close to Nanjing.

Chaoxian is on the edge of Chaohu Lake, Chaohu Lake is rampant with river bandits, and the county town is not safe.

The Guangxi wolf soldiers really can't fight a water war.

Wang Cheng could only go to Jin Zhong to borrow someone, but Jin Zhong still had enough manpower in his hands, so how could he lend someone to Wang Cheng?

Wang Cheng could only write to Song Wei.

Song Wei will be a fierce general, and Guo Xuan will lend it to Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng asked Guo Xuan to lead the army, pacify the Chaohu River bandits, harvest nearly 1,000 Jiang bandits, form a water division, and then asked Guo Xuan to suppress the bandits along the river in Luzhou Mansion.

It was the matter of purging the nobles, and it was delayed.

It wasn't until Wang Cheng had 1,500 sailors in his hands that Wang Cheng came to Chaoxian to sit down.

And the first thing he did was to kill the big clan in Chaoxian County.

Tomorrow is still a big chapter! Catch up with the plot of those two days!

(End of chapter)
