0277 Envy, jealousy, hatred
Therefore, between civil officials and nobles, there is more of a kind of balance between you and me, I have you, interdependent, interdependent, and hostile to each other, an almost dynamic balance!
So when they knew that Liu Haojia was starting to become a fortune boy, the first reaction of the civil officials was surprise and disbelief! They don't believe that anyone will break up a business that can be heirlooms!
Then the second thought that arises is envy, jealousy, hatred! These useless nobles have found another way to make money, and their family can continue!
And the third thought is why we civil officials can't interfere! We want to get a piece of the pie too! In the past, when those nobles arrived in the place, they couldn't avoid us whether they opened workshops or shops, and now it's the same! So we can intervene in a straightforward way!
So those civil officials who had business or political dealings with the nobles took action one after another, wanting to participate in this wave of wealth! But their ideas were soon hit hard!
The nobles made it clear that, in principle, they did not want the civilian government to get involved in this business! But those civil officials who remain neutral and have good intentions towards the nobles can be distributed in a certain proportion! However, the nobles explicitly rejected officials from the northwest and Jiangnan.
When asked for specific reasons, these nobles took it into account, and only a very small number of civil officials who had a relationship with the nobles got the real answer! That is, both of these places are where the main members of the Juggernaut come from. And the Liu family didn't want to deal with them, so they put forward this special request!
When they heard the words "Juggernaut Meeting", most of the civil officials were at a loss, but only a small number of officials were completely discolored! These officials either know how powerful the Juggernaut will be, or they will be related to the Juggernaut, or they are simply members of the Juggernaut Council!
So when the news spread, they were ashamed and terrified! The shame is that when they have been in power for a long time and have cooperated with each other, few people can refuse their demands and let them make a fortune!
And the fear is because the emperor's henchman Liu Haojia knows about the existence of the Juggernaut Society, so does the emperor know about it, and what is his attitude? That's what they're most worried about! After all, the biggest advantage of the Juggernaut Society is secrecy, but now that they have been revealed, it is unknown whether they still have the ability to make waves in secret!
At the same time, Youxungui came forward with a notebook, the meaning is very simple, that is, sea operations are different from inland river and lake operations, and unified command and logistics supply are required, so I hope that the naval division responsible for sea operations can be separated separately and a new branch of the military will be established, called the navy! And set up the Metropolitan Governor's Palace!
This news did not cause much turmoil in the imperial court. Because the Ming Dynasty did not attach special importance to the sailors. In their opinion, the sea frontier of the Ming Dynasty is extremely safe! Although some pirates are wreaking havoc, it is only a disease of scabies, and it is harmless! What's more, many people know that some pirates are simply raised by the Jiangnan family!
However, in line with the principle that the honorable nobles should be opposed, the civilian officials should oppose it, and at the same time, they did not want the nobles to expand their sphere of influence in the army again, and many civilian officials could also start to oppose it.
In the eyes of the civil officials, it is very easy to deal with this proposal, as long as they use their own incorruptible tongue as usual, and quote the scriptures to refute the nobles who do not learn and have no skills! Even if you can't refute it, you can drag it down with your own skills! Until this matter is dragged out!
Anyway, this matter has become the focus of the court. Every time the civil and military officials of the previous dynasty have to discuss it! But just when this matter was still being discussed fiercely in the court, another thing appeared that diverted everyone's attention!
That is, the Peng Yuan of Tai Hospital is returning to Beijing! At the same time, he brought back the exact news that none of the people who planted cowpox died of illness!
This news instantly caused a sensation in the entire Jingshi! But the civil servants are very scratching their heads on this issue, and even a little repulsed!
Needless to say, Peng Yuanzheng will have the rewards that he deserves. Because he represents the civil service! But what really annoys everyone is that the inventor of cowpox is a noble son!
In the eyes of most civil officials, this incident should not have happened! Something like this that benefits the people shouldn't be done by civil officials, how can it be done by a nobleman! So the civil servants immediately tried their best to start reducing the influence of this matter.
So the civil officials put forward various suggestions, and a more reliable theory is that the scope of Peng Yuan's verification is still relatively small, and the scope of verification should be further expanded, so as to drag this matter down!
The other is to weaken Liu Haojia's credit in this matter! The reason is that although human pox will often die, after all, most people with pox survive! And cowpox is just a step on the basis of human pox, and it is not a subversive discovery, so it should not be rewarded too highly!
These two things in a row are fermenting in the court one after another, and the court is discussing these two things with each other. Because these two things are related to the honorable, this naturally triggers the desire of the civil officials to fight back! They have already regarded these two things as a battlefield to compete with the nobles!
The civil servants, in particular, know that these two things cannot be concluded in a short period of time. So they'd rather those two things fade over time! However, some people's minds are no longer focused on these two things, and that is the officials at all levels in the Juggernaut Council!
At this time, the officials of the Juggernaut Society were extremely angry! The reason for their anger is not the above two things, but when Liu Haojia made a fortune with officials, he actually made it clear that the people of the Juggernaut Society would be excluded! But how can this work! You can ignore the things on the side, but you have to fight for the things that make you rich!
But after many attempts, they found that this time the nobles were unexpectedly united, and their attitude was very resolute and unequivocally rejected any request for their intervention! Therefore, the members of the Angry Juggernaut Guild came up with their old method, which was to connect with each other and unite each other's strength to put pressure on the nobles!
But as soon as their action began, they were stopped by the first Zhang Qida of the company! The reason is that the Plum Blossom Society was established to limit imperial power, not to let everyone collude to get promoted and make a fortune!
Moreover, the name of the Plum Blossom Society has been exposed to the eyes of Emperor Wanli's henchmen, which shows that the royal family is very likely to know about the existence of the club! This can pose a certain risk to the club itself, and it is important to keep a low profile at this time!
