.Chapter 853 I Don’t Agree (Part 2)
Chen Si received a letter from Gao Gong on the 27th day of the 12th lunar month. In fact, before that, he had received requests from many Southeasters... Most of them did not have direct conflicts of interest with Hai Rui, but the relationship between the rich and powerful people was intricate and damaged. They were afraid that the tide of retreating fields would spread to the southeast, so they had to stoke the head and write a letter to Chen Si, asking him to persuade Hai Rui not to make things too stiff.
Even more scratching his head was still coming. During the Spring Festival, he received a letter from Mr. Xu... Although the two of them were already in harmony, they both had identities, and at least they had to do enough face. So when I was handing over the New Year's goods to my father in my hometown, Chen Si prepared a copy for Xu Jie, and attached a letter asking about his well-being and enthusiastic, which made people take it there.
Xu Jie was tortured by Hai Rui and was about to die of ecstasy. Now he was just using the reply letter to make a big complaint. But he couldn't come up and say, "How can the word "miss" berberine? Even the dumplings eaten during the Chinese New Year feel that they are made of berberine... Xu Jie expressed his gratitude first, saying that I have been back for two years. You are still thinking about me. You are so relieved, but you feel ashamed. Why are you ashamed? Because after I came back, I recalled my actions over the years, and I really felt guilty about you. As a teacher, I have considered myself too much and thought too little about you. Now I have come down from my seat, and those guys who have flattered me in the past hide far away. Now that I am bullied, I can't find anyone to talk to you.
The more I experience the warmth and warmth of human feelings, the more I feel the value of my words, and the more I feel deeply ashamed. Now I regard everything I suffer as retribution, so that I can feel better in my heart...
"My master is really able to bend and stretch, and stretch your face." When he said this, he was silent in his inner signing room, with layers of guards outside the door, and no one can disturb him.
The object of his speech was a middle-aged man wearing a blue cloth cotton jacket, dressed as an ordinary person, and he was not able to find his extraordinary appearance without opening his mouth: "He is in a difficult situation now, so he has to lower his posture and ask the adults to let him go. But he still didn't correct his attitude and threatened the adults between the lines. If he didn't agree, he would spread it everywhere that it was you who secretly instructed Hai Rui to take revenge on his teacher." As soon as he spoke, he turned out to be Yu Yin, who had been missing from silent for two years.
Two years ago, because of Hu Zongxian's incident, Yu Yin felt that he could no longer face Shen Mingchen and Wang Yin, and he felt that as his silent career expanded, someone needed to do something shameful for him... Although there were Jinyiwei's fingers, they were hawks and dogs of the court after all, and no one could tell whether the emperor would have a whim and reshuffle them one day, and then it would be too passive.
Therefore, Yu Yin had long advised him repeatedly that he was not his own thing, and he would always be unreliable. He should build his own underground force, and at least he could protect himself in the worst case. After he hesitating for a long time, he finally agreed to his suggestion after the dangers of the Hu Zongxian case. As the proposer, Yu Yin resolutely assumed the heavy responsibility of drafting and creation.
It is gratifying that Chen Si Si Si has developed for more than ten years, and the accumulated strength is too strong, which makes Yu Yin's work more powerful. As soon as he came up, more than a hundred elite backbones came to join the Silent Old Guard... These people are brothers and nephews of the Silent Old Guard, absolutely loyal and reliable. Many years ago, they were arranged to join the Silent Funeral Division. After being tempered by the Thirteenth Grandmaster, they were all good at dealing with spies. These people planned to be in the Silent Funeral Division in the future, but naturally they had to use it first.
In order to cover up, Yu Yin registered a Yonghe escort agency in Shanghai. In this way, these dangerous elements can be put on the garment garment; secondly, Yu Yin also saw that with the development of Southeast industry and commerce, it has driven the flow of people and goods between major cities across the country, and refugees gathered in the mountains and forests, which always threatened people's lives and property safety, which brought a prosperous spring to the bodyguard industry. Yonghe escort agency can use this east wind to open the semicolons all over the country without arousing the suspicion of the government.
This time Yu Yin came, Yonghe took the escort from Mr. Xu and escorted Xu Jie back to a cart of gifts to Chen. He happened to take this rare opportunity to come to Yulin to meet his boss.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Speaking of which, since they met in Tongzhou, the two have never met again. Although they have been in touch all year round, the moment of reunion is really mixed with emotion.
"I didn't expect that it would be so difficult to meet again." Chen Si held his hand and said guiltily: "I don't even have the chance to invite you to a meal, don't be surprised."
"The Lord is now the Nine-Border Strategy, and he is 70% elite in the Ming Dynasty. I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at each other in secret." Yu Yin understood the silent situation very well and said, "The East Factory and the secret spies under the Shanxi Gang are all omnipresent guys. If the Lord is not careful, I will really worry."
"Yes, it seems that the scenery is always incredible." Silence signaled him to go to the kang and said while making tea: "Even Mr. Gao has become cautious?"
Yu Yin had read Gao Gong's letter and said expressionlessly: "This prime minister's thoughts are not as rough as they appear... In the words of the Cantonese people, it is called 'em with a pig's face and a loud heart. "Didn't he just want you to support his decision and replace Lord Hai?"
"Well," said silently, "But it's normal. If you can become the prime minister, how can you be a good person? It's just that Gaoge used to be disdainful of self-study, so he seems a little rough. But now he is the prime minister of a country, and he is carrying the great cause of reform on his shoulders. It is impossible for him to ignore it as he did before."
"What do you think about Hai Rui's stay or not?" Yu Yin said in a deep voice: "If you agree with Gao Gong, it will inevitably make people feel cold."
"Do you think Gao Suqing really wants to change his course?" Silent sneered: "Reform is his lifelong dream, and what Hai Rui did was what he always wanted to do. How could a person like Gao Gong stop because of some resistance?"
"..." Yu Yin lowered his head for a moment, and when he raised his head, he showed a rare smile on his face and said, "My judgment is indeed keen, this is exactly what my subordinates want to report." As he said that, he took out a letter from his sleeve and put it in front of silence.
Chen Si took it and saw it. It was a letter written by Gao Gong's disciple Han Yi to a letter named Cai Guoxi. Chen Si was impressed by Cai Guoxi. This person was Xu Jie's disciple, but because he had a conflict with Xu Jie's son when Su Song was appointed as the deputy envoy of the army. It is said that the official ship he was riding met the Xu brothers' ship on the river. Both sides refused to give in. As a result, the evil slaves of the Xu family rushed directly to his boat, took off his official uniform and threw it into the water, injured several of his followers and left.
Cai Guoxi suffered this great humiliation and naturally wanted to find the place. He went to Songjiang Prefecture to complain, but was persuaded by Zhong Zhenji to calm down. He was angry and sued the province and even wrote the complaint to Beijing, but no one was willing to accept it. Finally, the Xu brothers made a statement. If he dared to sue again, he would completely strip him of his official clothes. Cai Guoxi told Wumen that he could not bear the shame and left in anger... Speaking of which, it has been five years since then.
'Why did Section Chief Han remember this person again?' While thinking silently, he pulled out the letter and looked at it. He realized that the two of them were fellow villagers and had a good relationship. Since Gao Gong came to the stage, Han Yi has sought a comeback for this fellow villagers. Recently, he finally got his wish, so he couldn't wait to write a letter to himself to seek credit. In the letter, Han Yi swears that Gao Gong had agreed and restored his position. He also said that after Hai Rui was dismissed, he would be the governor.
"According to Han Yi's statement, Gao Gong has made up his mind to replace Hai Rui, and even has a replacement." Yu Yin whispered to the silence: "There are two benefits. One is to calm public opinion and don't want people to criticize him. Persecution of Xu Jie is very urgent; the other is to leave the King of Hai and another butcher Cai comes. He has to leave the land butcher, and he has to leave the land. He has to be cleared and the fate of the Xu family father and son will even be even more miserable." He paused and said: "In fact, there is a third point. Hai Rui once scolded him. With Gao's temperament, it is difficult to have no grudges, so it is not surprising that he can replace people with a substitute."
"..." After listening to Yu Yin's analysis, he was silent for a long time before he said coldly: "I will not agree!" He calmed down his anger and said in a deep voice: "Hai Rui is the one I chose, and he can't change it if he wants to. Otherwise, once this example is opened, there will be endless troubles!"
Yin nodded, then stopped talking about Gao Gong, but said Hai Rui: "Students heard that this Lord Hai hates the rich very much. He has a famous saying, "For wealth, not kindness, not rich." As soon as he arrived in Suzhou, he issued a decree, requiring officials to practice thrift, and the wealthy households should take the lead in frugality, and also seized the brothel gambling halls in Suzhou City. Moreover, he was very dissatisfied with the fact that most of the farmlands in Songjiang Prefecture were changed to cotton mulberry plants, and he intended to order rectification and restore the number of grain fields." As he said, he looked silent and said, "If he let him get angry, Susong's economy must regress. It is the heart of the national economy."
"Don't I know he's a double-edged sword?" Chen Shun smiled bitterly and said, "But don't forget what our concept is."
"We want to use Hai Rui to squeeze out capital from the land." As the most trusted confidant of Chen Si, Yu Yin understands his overall plan... In Shen Mo's view, Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng hope to solve the dynasty crisis by suppressing annexation, which is to cure the symptoms but not the root cause. Moreover, they suppress the annexation through direct attacks, which is to place themselves in the opposite of the powerful landlords. The powerful landlords are the basis of the ruling of the thousand-year empire. Even if the emperor wants to deal with them, they will be dealt with in turn.
Throughout history, I believe that with the impulse of the power to pursue profit, land annexation is unstoppable and intensified... Even if someone can suppress it for a while, when they lose power, the powerful landlords will inevitably counterattack and reorganize the land again to compensate for the original losses. The overall trend of annexation cannot be changed until it exceeds the tolerance limit of farmers and makes a large number of people unable to even eat. It is time for the rise and the dynasty to change. Then a new dynasty was established and the land was redistributed, and another cycle began, cycled and cycled. This is the fundamental reason why China has rolled in place for two thousand years after the Qin, Han, Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
In fact, in Shen Mo's original history, the Ming Dynasty had the opportunity to get rid of this cycle and enter a new world. However, the sky was no longer the year, and various tragic factors were intertwined. The empire was destroyed by the savages of Tungus in the weakest period when the old system was about to collapse and the new system had not yet been formed, and it was directly regressed to the slave society. As a result, it missed the golden opportunity for human progress and completely dropped in the forest of nations.
I didn't know if I could help the Ming Dynasty overcome its strong inertia and make history slide to another trajectory. But facing the 267-year history of national destruction, there was nothing to hesitate, so I could only treat it as a living horse. Based on the knowledge he learned in his previous life and the experience he accumulated in his life, he tried to take the pulse of the Ming Dynasty, a patient, and wanted to find a way to help me open the Ren and Du meridians of China and avoid the recurrence of the tragedy.
From an economic perspective, the Ming Dynasty has been booming in industry and commerce for decades, and has been reluctant to leave the latter step to enter capitalism. There are naturally many reasons, but the most important thing is the strong inertia of the historical cycle... Since ancient times, due to severe deflation and lack of necessary conditions for developing the commodity economy, the small peasant economy has always dominated the social economy. The biggest feature of the small peasant economy is that wealth comes from land, and land is the source and representative of wealth, so powerful landlords have changed one after another, but the impulse of annexation has always been strong and firm.
Even with the development of overseas trade, a large amount of American silver flowed into China, greatly alleviating the empire's deflation and making industry and commerce flourish. However, people's concepts are deeply rooted. What do many rich people make money? They are not about expanding reproduction, but about buying land... The rise of overseas trade and the increase in social wealth have intensified land annexation! It's really ridiculous.
To change people's concepts, so that the landlord class can transform capital landlords and pure industrial and commercial classes as soon as possible. In addition to creating good conditions for industrial and commercial development, it is also necessary to deal a heavy blow to the traditional landlord economy.
How to do it? It is like Hai Rui doing this, allowing them to withdraw their forced land and pay taxes according to the number of land acres, making land mergers unprofitable.
