Chapter 115 How to do it?

Xia Yunyi naturally refused to go to Guanzhong with his son to avoid disasters and enjoy happiness.

He stubbornly believed that unless Shi Kefa and Chen Zilong, these two colleagues who were still working hard for the survival of the Ming Dynasty, left, he would naturally not leave, even if he lost his head.

However, what he never expected was that Qian Qianyi came to visit very early in the morning the very next day.

At first, he thought Qian Qianyi was here to visit him, and Xia Yunyi was somewhat flattered. However, when Qian Qianyi asked to meet Xia Qilin'er, Xia Yunyi finally understood that he was here to see his son. of.

After Xia Wanchun, who was sleeping soundly, was pulled out of bed by his father, he was full of anger when he got up. He quickly washed his face amidst his father's scolding, and then went to the front hall to meet Qian Qianyi.

When his father was around, Xia Wanchun was like a lazy boy, serving him with a smile. He would answer Qian Qianyi's questions and not say a word if he didn't ask. It shows Xia's good tutoring.

Qian Qianyi sighed deeply when he saw this, and said to Xia Yunyi: "Brother Yi Zhongxian, can you let me and your son have a few words in private?"

Sitting there as if Xia Yunyi, who looked like a clay and wood sculpture, nodded, glanced at his son before leaving and said, "Don't be rude."

Xia Wanchun smiled and said, "How dare you, kid, be rude."

After Xia Yunyi left the front hall, Xia Wanchun, who had been half-bent and with his neck hunched, immediately straightened his back, looked at Qian Qianyi like a tiger looking at a fox, and said, "Mr. Mu Zhai, what advice do you have?" "

Qian Qianyi stroked his beard and said with a smile: "That's right, so Fang looks like a young hero who killed countless people during the Western Expedition."

Xia Wanchun said: "This time, boy. I came to Nanjing not for official business, but to see my father. If you have any plans, you should go find the right person."

Qian Qianyi said bitterly: "Ma Shiying, Ruan Dayue. Others think that they can rule across the river from the Lantian imperial court, which is completely unfeasible."

Xia Wanchun sneered and said, "Even if my master agrees, the millions of armored men under Lantian will not agree. ”

Qian Qianyi held up his hands and said: “In this case, young brother, for the sake of the people in Jiangnan, don’t implement Lantian’s method in Jiangnan. After all, Jiangnan is different from the north, so there are My own sentiments are with the people."

Xia Wanchun looked at Qian Qianyi grimly and said, "Do you know what is the biggest political flaw in Lantian in recent years?"

Xia Wanchun snorted and said: "That means Zhang Bingzhong is out of our control. In my opinion, Lantian, Zhang Bingzhong should enter Zhejiang from Jiangxi Oh, it’s a pity that this guy actually went to Guangxi and Guizhou.

This makes it impossible for me, Lantian, to rebuild Jiangnan from scratch.”

Qian Qianyi has already eaten it. Huo Ran stood up and pointed at Xia Wanchun and said: "Leading beasts to eat people..."

Xia Wanchun sat on his father's seat, took a sip of his half-drinked tea and said, "It's not that you didn't notice, you just watched Zhang Bingzhong run away. , you have the courage to sit in front of me and discuss with me that Jiangnan should remain unchanged, so that you can continue to prey on the people of Jiangnan.

Mr. Mu Zhai, who gave you the courage to bargain with me, Lantian. ?

Do you think that General Lei Heng did not do anything wrong to the people along the way, which means that Lan Tian is afraid of the Jiangnan gentry?

Do you think that my nature is weak?

p>

You also participated in the National People's Congress. You should have seen what the people's demands for the rulers of Lantian are. You should know that the time for me, Lantian, to unify the Ming Dynasty depends on the pace of the infantry of my Lantian army!

As for any place, the first one to arrive will be my Lantian army, and then there will be officials!

I advise you to give up any illusions and not have any contact with my Lantian law! Touch, believe me, anyone who touches my iron rule of Lantian will eventually be shattered into pieces and die without a burial place."

Qian Qianyi had a slight layer of oily sweat on his forehead, and sighed with his eyes closed. A voice said: "There are many gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. Some are those who exploit the people for profit, and there are also good people who cultivate and study to pass down the family. Lantian cannot be generalized."

Xia Wanchun looked at Qian Qianyi and said: "The ones here are The common people have been oppressed for so long that they have forgotten the rights they deserve as human beings.

Eating some of the leftovers given by wealthy families like you will be considered a good year. ?

You think too highly of yourself."

Qian Qianyi looked at Xia Wanchun and said, "From your words, I only hear your deep hatred for the gentry. There is no mercy at all."

Xia Wanchun said with a smile: "Do the gentry and wealthy people have any sympathy for ordinary people?"

Qian Qianyi said after a moment of silence. Is it a liquidation?"

Xia Wanchun sighed: "I hope it is a liquidation. This will completely change the social status and population structure of the people in Jiangnan, which will allow Jiangnan to prosper for a few more years..."< /p>

Qian Qianyi held his trembling hands and said: "For Lantian, aren't the gentry of Jiangnan just the people under their rule? Think of me in Jiangnan, there are countless wealthy families whose wealth does not all come from plundering the common people. What's more, it took decades and hundreds of years of frugality to accumulate such a large family fortune.

How can you, Lantian, just take it away?"

Xia Wanchun looked at Qian Qianyi playfully and said: "Your words are very inflammatory, and given your reputation, I think you can just say such things in front of me. Never say it among the gentry. Otherwise...hahaha."

Qian Qianyi trembled and looked at Xia Wanchun in disbelief: "Are you being unreasonable?"

Xia Wanchun chuckled: " Why, now I’m starting to realize that there is such a thing as being reasonable in this worldAlready? When you were preying on the common people, did you ever think of trying to reason with them?

Lantian’s political attribute is to represent the people.

When you were in power, you enacted countless laws that were beneficial to you. For example, those who passed the imperial examination and became officials were punished by death up to three times. When disputes arise between the gentry and the common people, the local government has no right to arrest and try them.

Officials and gentry do not pay grain, do not pay taxes, do not perform labor service, they can meet with officials but do not bow to them. When the common people complain to the officials, they first need thirty-spine staffs. Even their clothes, weddings and funerals are different from those of the common people. , which one, which case has considered the life and death of the people?

Why, now, our regime, which represents the interests of the people, is not allowed to formulate some laws that are beneficial to the people?

Mr. Mu Zhai, don’t think about it. Being able to treat you with vested interests equally with the common people is the greatest goodwill that our Lantian Imperial Court can unleash!

Of course, some previous crimes must be investigated. Only in this way can the people of Jiangnan straighten their backs and conduct themselves again. ”

Qian Qianyi felt a terrifying danger from Xia Wanchun’s somewhat violent words.

He even felt the Lantian Imperial Court’s attitude toward Jiangnan from these hateful words. The gentry was extremely resentful.

After the tragedy in the capital reached Jiangnan, all the gentry in Jiangnan fell into silence. It was because of Li Hongji's atrocities in the capital that the weak gentry in Jiangnan began to have a strong sense of crisis.

Based on this, the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River placed their hopes of saving their lives on Shi Kefa, Ma Shiying, Ruan Dayue, and even Li Yan, Huang Degong, Zuo Liangyu and others.

They. They all contributed money and people, hoping that Shi Kefa could lead them to quickly accumulate enough strength to bargain with Lantian Yunzhao.

Qian Qianyi hoped to find out something from Xia Wanchun, Yunzhao's only disciple. There are clues to raise some capital for bargaining with Lantian for Jiangnan's future.

Now, there is no hope.

Xia Wanchun did not hide Lantian's views on Jiangnan's gentry, and they even had feelings for Jiangnan. The gentry had some contempt.

Qian Qianyi knew that among the gentry in Lantian, they blamed the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River for the collapse of the Ming Dynasty. Not like this!

In Jiangnan, there are also people who work hard, work hard, pray for the people, sacrifice their lives to seek the Dharma, work hard for the people, and even work for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. Even death, family ruin, and even the loss of descendants.

You cannot think that there are no good people in Jiangnan just because of the sins of some people.

Xia Wanchun looked at Qian Qianyi, who was shouting hoarsely, and said: "Those who are good to the people, we will invite them into the Panthéon, and those who sacrifice their lives for the people, we will remember them in our hearts and pay tribute to them." We will offer blood food on the four o'clock and eight festivals to the people who have lost their children and grandchildren, and we dare not forget it.

As for you..."

Qian Qianyi staggered out of the front hall of Xia Yunyi's house. At this time, he feltIn such chaos, an unprecedented disaster was about to befall Jiangnan, and he found that he had no ability to deal with it. He could only wait for the dark clouds to cover his head, and then be struck to pieces by lightning and thunder.

"Mr. Mu Zhai, are you feeling unwell?"

Xia Yunyi quickly supported Qian Qianyi and asked with concern.

Qian Qianyi looked at Xia Yunyi's hypocritical face, gently pushed Xia Yunyi away and said: "I only hope that Brother Yi Zhongxian will have more kindness in the future and save some money for me in Jiangnan." I am very grateful."

After that, with the help of the old servant, he hurriedly left the Xia Mansion.

"What did you do to Mr. Mu Zhai?"

Xia Yunyi hurried back to the hall and saw his son biting the candy lotus root again, so he asked loudly .

Mr. Mu Zhai could set an example for the gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. One family could only keep five hundred acres of land.

Then he got angry and left."

Xia Yunyi was surprised. He looked uncertainly at his son's thin face and said, "Didn't Lantian Law say that the land of a family should not exceed one thousand acres?" The land is fertile, and most of it is paddy fields. How can we do this?” It's not terrible. What's terrible is that land annexers don't pay grain or taxes, which harms the public and enriches private interests.

If things go on like this, the people will naturally become poorer and poorer, and the gentry will become richer and richer. This is unreasonable. You, Uncle Shi Kefa, and Uncle Chen Zilong have been trying to make the officials, gentry and common people pay taxes together for many years. As a result, nothing has been achieved after all these years."

Xia Wanchun looked at his father with a smile. : "Soon, they will take the initiative to pay food and taxes."

Xia Yunyi stopped the candy lotus root he was about to put into his mouth and asked his son: "What if they don't want to?"

Xia Wanchun smiled and showed his white teeth: "How can it be done?"
