Chapter 497: Lifting a stone and shooting yourself in the foot
Ling Yunyi described Zhao Juan's misery at length in the recital, in order to tell the emperor that if the production relations of the deed of sale and the strong personal dependence are not changed, these human tragedies will only continue to be staged, so the engineering regiment battalion and the official factory are needed to build it, so as to create a kind of equality.
Even a relative equality with inequality is better than the current situation.
The idea of equality is not a foreign product, and even Confucianism, which emphasizes hierarchical and patriarchal order, is pursuing equality.
Filial piety is the official order of the noble and the low, so the future generations have the order of respecting the inferior and the young, under the etiquette system, the division of labor is clear, each has its place, it is the ideal country of Confucianism, the great harmony of the world, the pursuit of Confucianism is equal to the noble and the low, the young and the old are orderly.
Confucianism talks about filial piety, and it also talks about equality.
For example, Confucius said: Those who have a country and a family do not suffer from widowhood but inequality, and do not suffer from poverty but suffer from anxiety; It is also said: Pan love the public, there is no class; Mencius said: The sage is the same as me, Yao Shun is the same as others, and everyone can be Yao Shun;
Moreover, the craftsmen are all thinking about entering the official factory, and they are unwilling to destroy the production of the private factory in the private factory, and the solution is to sell the source of all this original sin - the official factory to the people, and all problems can be solved.
Just as the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was about to strike hard and directly attack the Completely Free School in the name of the evil demon book and the bewitchment of the Wei Wei, an unexpected news came to the Jingtang and caused an uproar.
"What should I do about the in Sochi, Jiading?" Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and asked with a smile.
Half of the profits of all official factories have to go into the house, and this selling of official factories is to rob His Majesty's fixed assets!
Li Le also completely understood at this point, why these slaves suddenly rose up, and they couldn't even wait for the implementation of the decree, if they did according to the content of the miscellaneous report, this would cut off the hope in the hearts of all the slaves, completely cut off their expectations, and it would be strange not to make trouble in Sochi.
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Juzheng thought about it and immediately said, there is nothing wrong with Shen Shixing in this matter, Jiading, Taicang, and Kunshan are the boundaries of Suzhou.
Even Confucianism, which advocates strict hierarchies, also includes equality at its core, let alone the words of other schools.
The slave rebellion that swept through Jiading, Taicang, and Kunshan in Suzhou this time, if it weren't for the rapid response of the sailors, I am afraid that they would have broken through the county seat of Fuzhou.
Zhu Yijun immediately said: "No, Shen Shixing is still wrong in implementing the imperial court decrees?" The abolition of the Cheap Slave was discussed by the Wenhua Palace, it was a true holy decree, it was a resolution of the Ming Duke, Shen Shixing did nothing wrong, and it was necessary to solve the problem when it occurred, rather than passing the responsibility down to the executing governor. ”
In the eyes of the old man, giving a slave a bite to eat is a reward, and the slave should kneel on the ground to thank Dade, and it is humiliating to strip and kneel? This is edification!
In addition to this, the content of the miscellaneous report also advocated the abolition of the official factory regiment and the engineer regiment battalion, because it interfered with the freedom of trade.
The slaves could not understand the change of production relations, all they could understand was that being His Majesty's domestic slave and being able to eat enough was as simple as that.
"The imperial court has sent a holy decree to punish us for our incompetence, since it is your Governor Li's territory, what should you do?" Shen Shixing talked about the follow-up disposal, Daming Shui Shi wants to return to the nest, so how to settle it?
After reading the holy decree, Li Le gritted his teeth and said: "Naturally, it is the battalion of the engineer regiment, let these slaves be busy first, and if you are idle, you will change, I will personally go to ask for the deed, and I will not give him the house to copy!" Before the end of the year, all the fourteen prefectures of the Southern Ya will be surveyed and the registration of untouched slaves will be abolished! ”
Wan Shihe reported this change in a very timely manner, and several poetry societies in Songjiang Mansion, Nanya Fourteen Mansions, and Jingtang appeared with the idea of complete freedom, and these poetry societies published various articles, and the volume immediately overshadowed Lin Fucheng's "Easy Stories", and quickly swept the north and south of the river.
"The people are the foundation of the state, and the state is solid."
"I originally thought that the reason that catalyzed the Jiading slave change was that Songjiang Mansion completed the abolition of the slave registration, which stimulated the already tense situation, but in fact, this is not the case at all, it is the chaos caused by the poetry society and bookstore that advocates absolute freedom." Shen Shixing took out another miscellaneous newspaper, the miscellaneous newspaper printed by Jiading Jingyuan Bookstore, which completely intensified the contradiction.
"The top priority now is to pacify the slave rebellion in the Jiading area, once it evolves from slavery to civil unrest, it will be very dangerous."
In comparison, can the civil unrest be called a problem?
In the early years of Jiajing, Longqing, and Wanli, were there still fewer civil unrest?
It is only necessary to appease the enchanted slaves, make a commitment to conduct a census of Dingkou within a time limit, complete the abolition of the lowly registration and the deed, and then organize the resettlement of the engineer regiment battalion and the official factory regiment with the army and soldiers, and fulfill the promise within the time limit.
Li Lede thanked Shen Shixing.
At this moment, Li Le was only lucky, the problem was more serious than Li Le imagined.
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "The Susong area is rich and fruitful, and it has become a practice of collecting slaves, especially after the opening of the sea, a large number of people have poured into Susong, which has made the wind of slavery here more and more intense. ”
This hasn't gone yet, as soon as I heard that the sailor was leaving, the luxury households on the ground in Suzhou ran to Jiading County to cry and call their mother, crying and making trouble, and the more they gathered, the more they gathered, this was for fear that the sailor would leave, and this group of slaves who gathered in the mountains and forests made a comeback, continued to Gosochi, and broke down the door.
When Li Le arrived in Jiading, Shen Shixing had already suppressed the further expansion of the slave mutiny, and even opened a porridge shed to prevent the contradictions from further intensifying.
The golden toad competed for his eyes, but the sky was evenly matched in Caozhou's world;
"After Shen Shixing abolished his untouchable status in Songjiang Mansion and destroyed his deed, it directly led to the slavery of the nearby Jiading, Taicang, and Kunshan slaves, and it was not only because of the trend of absolute freedom, because it had not spread so quickly."
He briefly said to the emperor that the specific implementation would be carried out by the governor of Yingtian, the governor of Songjiang, and the water division of Songjiang Town, and the officials of Suzhou Prefecture should apply for the punishment as one, and the officials should be demoted to three levels, and then restore them after the completion of the census and the abolition of the slave status.
Shen Shixing's character, among the Zhang Party, can be regarded as conservative and moderate, and he is somewhat indisputable, but the opportunity is in front of him, Shen Shixing has to change, he really wants to improve.
This sentence is not at all based on the perspective of a happy person who is not afraid of big things, but Your Majesty, you want to speed up, accelerate the return of land, accelerate the redistribution of the means of production, and accelerate the destruction of the strong personal dependency, even with the help of the power of civil unrest!
But in fact, if you think about it carefully, Your Majesty is not the kind of person who pursues disorder and uses the most drastic means to resolve contradictions, as long as Your Majesty does not fall into complete despair, everything is easy to say.
"I didn't realize you had such ambitions before." Li Le said with some doubts: "What about your previous strength of not fighting and stealing and thin mud?" ”
The moment Shen Shixing was asked, he wanted to hack all the special envoys to death, so that no friends would be surprised.
Coercing the government with the power of the wind, this kind of thing has happened again and again, just robbing your emperor of fixed assets.
If Da Ming wants to complete the return of the land, he needs more strength, and His Majesty has been constantly accumulating strength.
At this time, Lin Fucheng realized that his fame was not an accident at all, nor was it a gift of fate, but a price that had been secretly marked a long time ago.
The people of the Xia Dynasty pointed to the sun and cursed Xia Wei: Time is mourning, and you are dead;
The roar of Daze Township, the prince and the general, would you rather have a kind?
"Your Majesty." Zhang Juzheng knows! I was right!
Your Majesty is that unspeakable monster!
"Is this a stone to your own feet?" Zhu Yijun looked at Shen Shixing's recital, and said with some tears and laughter.
Zhang Juzheng bowed his head and said: "Leave it to the ministers to do, this thing is actually very simple, not so complicated, the slaves Gosochi, and what they want is just a body contract." ”
Cao Gosochi, but the armed struggle, the slightest carelessness is the collapse of the sky, the transmission of civil unrest is extremely fast, it is easy to cause the surrounding states and counties to respond, there are already seven towns of the virtuous gentry refused to hand over the deed of sale, was broken down and wiped out, this disorderly movement, will expand at a speed, dry firewood meets the fire, one point, the slaves of Gosochi, is dry firewood, breaking the door is the flame.
There is no one left.
After Zhang Juzheng left the imperial study of Tonghe Palace, he really wiped a cold sweat, and once again successfully sealed the monster, fortunately, he was a little worried, after he left, who would seal it?
"I partially agree with Mr.'s words, and I don't agree with Mr.'s criticism of Shen Shixing, he didn't do anything wrong."
Zhang Juzheng is not alarmist, at the moment he is Sochi, the contradiction has intensified to the most violent place, only Suzhou Mansion, and many other places are sitting in Sochi, that is, the slaves heard that Songjiang Mansion had abolished the deed, and immediately stopped working, gathered together, sat on the ground, and waited for the result.
Qi Jiguang returned to Beijing, a little murmur became quiet with the return of the army, and a holy decree of the Ming Emperor suddenly passed from Tonghe Palace to Wenyuan Pavilion, and the auxiliary ministers of Wenyuan Pavilion went to the imperial study of Tonghe Palace and discussed with His Majesty the Emperor, and the holy decree was divided into six chapters and began to be implemented.
This miscellaneous newspaper is the core of the intensified contradictions, and it is not at all that Zhang Juzheng thinks that the abolition of the slave status in Songjiang Mansion has stimulated the slaves in Suzhou.
The officials and factories became craftsmen, and the battalions of the engineer regiments became sappers, which was already the last hope for the slaves in the Jiangnan region.
The Jiangnan Slave Mutiny broke out in Nanya's Fourteenth Prefecture, Zhejiang, Huguang, Jiangxi and other places, that is, the slave mutiny that took up arms and demanded a deed.
To become an engineer in the battalion of the engineer regiment, in the eyes of the slaves, is to become His Majesty's domestic slave, the difference is that the slave of the Son of Heaven can eat well.
Even so, there is already enough temptation.
There are 70,000 people in Jiading area alone, they gather in the mountains and forests, water villages, and pull out the banner of "shoveling masters and servants, nobles and lows, rich and poor, and peaceful", sweeping Kunshan, Taicang, Jiading, if they refuse to hand over the title deed, the end can be imagined.
Zhang Juzheng said that His Majesty is resting on this matter, and he will settle it, if His Majesty is allowed to make a move, I am afraid it will not be settled.
Is this a redemption? This is clearly a robbery! One or two pieces of silver to buy an acre of land, why did the Ming Emperor not know the Ming robbery? !
Zhu Yijun has no intention of further intensifying the contradictions, the power in his hands is not strong enough, and when the day comes when the engineer regiment battalion is everywhere, Zhu Yijun wants to see who dares to blackmail the people to respect themselves.
This implementation will be very difficult, so the focus of this holy decree is to persuade the peasants, that is, to encourage the landlords and village gentry not to let the land in their hands be abandoned for a long time, and to collect less rent, so that the tenants will be willing to farm.
The emperor was slowly but unswervingly pushing forward the return of the land, through a variety of methods.
"No, they're going to rob His Majesty of his money?" Li Le immediately felt a little nervous, pointed to the miscellaneous newspaper and said, "Who are they robbing badly, robbing Your Majesty?" This is all the result of the money saved by His Majesty's frugality, and the result of a large investment, they can eat if they want? ”
"Your Majesty, the people are suffering, the people are even more bitter, the people in the troubled world are not as good as the peace dogs, if the people are in turmoil, the people will wither and complain." Zhang Juzheng solemnly admonished: "If you really rely on the power of civil unrest, instead of the engineering regiment battalion, the official factory and regiment to create the law, it is the people who will suffer the most." ”
Zhu Yijun saw that Zhang Juzheng was getting more and more excited, so he hurriedly sat up straight, smiled brightly, and said gently: "Sir, don't worry, don't worry, what Mr. said is very reasonable, according to what Mr. said." ”
"The galleon arrived at Songjiang Port on the first day of June, and many envoys from Taixi expressed their surprise at the Jiading slave mutiny and asked if it would affect the sea trade of the galleon." Shen Shixing talked about another thing, which was a shame and was thrown to Tessie.
The temptation of leaving a fragrance in history, no reader can avoid vulgarity.
If after the despair, the master is hiding in the West Garden to cultivate and put it in a bad place, then after His Majesty is desperate, he will definitely turn into an indescribable monster, intensify the most fundamental contradiction, and set off a prairie fire with a spark of stars, burn the whole world to the ground, and overturn it all over again!
Zhang Juzheng's judgment is not unfounded, he knows His Majesty too well! Look at the practice of the unity of knowledge and action, look at the contradiction, look at the theory of public and private, look at the theory of production, look at the first two volumes of the class theory, these are all made under the leadership of His Majesty, and His Majesty will definitely make up for the last two volumes in despair, and he will definitely do so!
Definitely!
Ren is talking about unequal people, loving each other, but never doing it.
The content of the decree focuses on persuading the peasants.
In this miscellaneous report, it was proposed that all government factories should be sold to the private sector immediately, such as coal and steel, woolen wool, weaving, shipbuilding, tung gardens, chidao, plantations, etc., because the existence of these official factories seriously undermined the fairness of trade, and forcibly stabilized market prices by virtue of the advantage of scale, resulting in the loss of investment in private houses, the reluctance of private houses to invest, and the destruction of the fairness of market transactions.
From top to bottom, from bottom to top, the idea that everything is one, and there is no nobility and no cheapness, is one of the backbones of the Central Plains, and it is also one of the cultural connotations.
"The food for the placement of these slaves will be borne by the Nanya and the extravagant households, and if they refuse to pledge, they will let the slaves go to his house to ask for the deed!"
Da Ming has such a reader.
Therefore, Li Le was a little resentful of Shen Shixing, and he, like Zhang Juzheng, felt that Shen Shixing's action to abolish the slave status was too fast, which led to the slave mutiny.
This is indeed a shot on one's own feet, and the proposition of absolute freedom created by the arrogant right has intensified the contradictions to such an extent.
The law on the shore of Dongting Lake is divided into high and low, not good law; I practice the law, and I should be equal to the rich and the low, both rich and poor;
"A bunch of idiots who can't do anything, only know how to make trouble!"
Zhu Yijun also thought that Lin Fu had become the Songjiang School that promoted himself, so he deliberately exaggerated the scale and scope of the Jiangnan Slave Revolution. After selling anxiety, you can peddle your own doctrine and then put it into the ideological steel seal.
The slaves did not know anything about the official factory, they did not know that their children could still go to school, they did not know that they could receive reasonable remuneration for their labor, they did not know that they could choose their jobs freely, and they could also enter the people's houses if they did not want to work in the official factory.
For example, the Taoist Lao Tzu said: The sage is often heartless, and takes the heart of the people as his heart; Zhuangzi said, with Taoism, what is expensive and cheap? All things are one, which is shorter and which is longer?
Mojia said: People are not young and noble, all the ministers of heaven are also noble, and the officials are impermanent, and the people are not cheap, they are able to lift them, and if they are incompetent, they will be lowered;
The Legalists say: Officials do not have personal relatives, and the law does not leave love. There is nothing up and down, only where the law is;
As a representative of the Legalists, Shang Ying emphasized the equality of the law more, and clearly put forward a punishment in the reform of the law, the so-called one punishment, the punishment has no rank, from the prime minister to the general to the doctor, the common people, there are those who do not obey the king's order, violate the national ban, and disorderly control, and the crime is not forgiven, and gradually evolves into a prince who violates the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people.
The land is wasted into the examination, there are divisions at all levels, the land is abandoned for more than five years, and there is no cultivation next year, the cadastral will be abolished and returned to the public, and the cadastral redemption will be communicated by the division for three years, and the waste will be added for one year, which is the first time in the Ming Dynasty after the Qing Zhang, the acres of land are managed more finely.
The powerful and virtuous gentlemen naturally broke out with great dissatisfaction, and this dissatisfaction was intuitively reflected in the prosperity of the doctrine of complete freedom.
Zhang Juzheng himself proposed to return the field, and immediately denied it himself, because the strength was insufficient, and the only force belonging to the imperial court was the Beijing camp, and the nine sides were responsible for the border, mainly for defense, and had no ability to conquer, and whether it could be dispatched to launch the war of returning the field was also unknown.
The views in the miscellaneous newspapers contain the anti-heaven remarks that caused Ling Yunyi to beat people before, and the three unfreedoms of abolishing the status of lowly slaves, especially the slave losing the freedom to choose to become a slave and live.
Shen Shixing has a nickname, called Master Duanshui, which is another way of saying with thin mud.
The benevolent government advocated by Confucianism is that there is no equal difference between people, and mutual love is benevolent.
Zhang Juzheng's disposal speed is extremely fast, the time limit from Shuntianfu to Yingtianfu is fifteen days, and the time limit from Shuntianfu to Songjiang Mansion is two days.
"Empty slogans will only bring harm! If it does not solve any problems, the unorganized civil unrest will only evolve into destruction in the end, and after the complete destruction of production, it is the people who will bear the price. ”
Even so, Ling Yunyi still had to wait, and only after the emperor had built the Ten Kings City and migrated the princes and county kings of Henan back to Beijing before he could do it.
The inner library in Chang'an City was burned to splendid ash, and the heavenly street was full of public bones;
Therefore, Lingyun relied on the holy family, the 1,500 guest soldiers who held a hundred battles, relied on the oppressed and stripped poor coolies all their lives, and supplemented by the institutional experience of the government, factories, regiments, and engineer regiments and battalions that had been tested in practice for a long time, and quickly opened up the situation in Henan.
At that point, no one can be dignified, and there is no way to end up at all.
"Governor Shen, I really want to make progress." When Li Le saw Shen Shixing, he was a burst of yin and yang weirdness.
Once the slaves become civil unrest, I am afraid that Li Le will have to go to Beijing to plead guilty. Shen Shixing was close, and there was a sailor in charge, responding quickly to eliminate a catastrophe invisibly.
"It's not that I haven't robbed it, the craftsmen who lived in Emperor Cheng Zuwen back then, so many shipyards, the industries on the long industrial chain of shipyards, and the official factories relying on the Western sea trade, aren't they all covering up the luxury households to constantly drum up public opinion with wind power, and use wind power to coerce government decrees, and finally grab it?" Shen Shixing's expression is quite calm, the seniors have done it, and the juniors just step on the footprints to do it.
If you wait a few more years, there will be Li Zicheng's sentence, wait for the rich, and the land will be free of grain;
Or more equal, Zhang Xianzhong proposed: all things are born with people, people have nothing and sky, kill and kill!
But now it seems that Lin Fucheng is not exaggerating at all! Rather, they were too conservative, or because of their status as a Chevalier doctor, they could not have an in-depth understanding of the misery of the slave life in Jiangnan, and lacked an understanding of the scale of the slave rebellion.
But with the 6.15 million mu in Jiangxi, after being redeemed at the price of 'one or two', the doctrine of complete freedom has made a comeback again.
After reading the miscellaneous report, Li Le almost jumped up, the content in it was too rebellious.
The core of the whole decree is that the land is left unplanted, which is simply a sin!
The weapon of criticism cannot replace the criticism of weapons, and material force can only be destroyed by material force.
It's a pity that the mantle of Mr. has never been intended to be passed on to his subordinates, but to be passed on to His Majesty, which has been doomed since Gao Gong was deposed and after Zhang Juzheng put forward the No. 1 Order of Sovereignty, of course, the mantle of the New Deal cannot be received, but the position of Mr. First and Auxiliary can still be plotted.
If Shen Shixing's radical behavior and the abolition of the slave status caused by the slave status, Shen Shixing would have endured it, and the feelings were that these miscellaneous reports that were everywhere eventually intensified the contradictions, which really made Shen Shixing angry.
Shen Shixing's hand stretched out too long, and because Shen Shixing wanted to progress too much, he abolished the cheap slavery and walked in front of everyone, the slaves of Suzhou Mansion, don't be envious?
"I'm going to inherit the mantle of my husband." Shen Shixing said calmly: "Therefore, I must do everything well and not embarrass Your Majesty and Mr. ”
Shen Shixing really wants to improve.
"Blame yourself! Have only oneself to blame! After reading this miscellaneous newspaper, Li Le immediately slapped the table and said angrily: "Take the blame!" Deserve! ”
The wealth and poverty of Sichuan and Shaanxi are uneven, and now they are equal to you;
Shen Shixing, the governor of Songjiang, and the water division of Songjiang Town reacted quickly, and now they are in a situation of confrontation.
Shen Shixing didn't say much, but took out a book and handed it to Li Le, after Li Le finished reading it, he spat out and said: "Fortunately, the governor came in time, otherwise I am afraid it would have caused a big disaster." ”
Shen Shixing's hand stretched out a little long, he is the governor of Songjiang, Kunshan, Jiading, and Taicang are the territory of Suzhou, and they are the jurisdiction of Li Le, the governor of Yingtian, although they are all under Zhang Juzheng's disciples, but competition is universal.
Shen Shixing recognized Li Le's disposal methods, and after in-depth communication with Chen Luan, the chief soldier of Songjiang, he began to collect troops and prepare to return home.
If Jiading is not handled well, the civil unrest that will affect the entire Nanya, Zhejiang, and Jiangxi is about to break out.
Do you really have to wait for Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong to appear, shout those two sentences, and make the world change color, and then do it?
The concept of equality is not a foreign product, whether it is the metaphysical scholar class or the metaphysical poor coolies, they have a broad basis of existence, which was discussed when Lin Fucheng mentioned the word equality.
When he became the emperor's lackey, when he lost the support of the powerful and powerful gentry, he Lin Fucheng was just a talkative reader.
"People change." Shen Shixing said with emotion: "If you can do it, who doesn't want to do it?" ”
The administrative power of the Ming Dynasty has not yet exerted its strength, and the trend of absolute freedom set off by the luxury households has already reaped its own consequences, Zhu Yijun looked at Zhang Juzheng and frowned and said: "It turns out that Lin Fucheng was not alarmist at the beginning." ”
"That's what I said, Mr. doesn't have to care so much, the world is mine, can I still make him mess up?"
If you don't care if you're not excited, you're a ghost, and it's stupid to believe your emperor's words!
"Sir, do you say that there is a possibility, the people are in turmoil, and the people are in turmoil." Zhu Yijun's fingers tapped on the table, and he asked calmly.
Daming is now the era of the monarch's father, the monarchy, and the monarch's teacher, and the public and private are not completely distinct, His Majesty still feels that the state has invested too much this year, and the internal funds are quite abundant, and they plan to explode a wave of gold coins.
"Sir, the official of the country." Zhu Yijun approved of Zhang Juzheng's handling method, Zhang Juzheng is a conservative and does not intend to use this matter to expand.
All schools of thought say that they are equal and equal, this is the top building, and over the ages, there have been more discourses on equality, and they are more intuitive, more direct, and more violent.
"The civil unrest is disorderly, there is no organization, and there is even a simple slogan, how to shovel the master and servant, the noble and the low? How? Can the rich and the poor be equal? Even if the Beijing camp can't achieve evenness, this crusade against Bansheng, the generals and generals still have to be rewarded. ”
Shen Shixing didn't bother to pay attention to them, Chen Lan began to organize the army to return to the Songjiang Town station, the governor of Songjiang and the chief soldier of the naval division, as well as the governor Zhang Cheng and others, each wrote a book to enter Beijing, the cause and effect of the Jiading slave mutiny, and the disposal method to the imperial court.
The envoy of Taixi on the galleon this year also began to arrive in Tianjin Wei on a hydrofoil.
