Please, let me be a fool

Therefore, many gentry are for the upstarts of the court.

Most are pretty dismissive.

But now.

Judging from what the other party meant, it seemed that it took only five years to get to this point.

"That's right." Wang Shouyuan said with a smile: "I have already been recognized by most of the gentry in Longyang."

"Just take the day when I first took office, many people came to give gifts and congratulate me."

"Five years can't be wasted."

Song Gongwen nodded, feeling that the other party was indeed extremely capable.

But thinking about it, it seems normal.

The Wang family.

At the beginning, he was the leader of the noble family in the whole south of the Yangtze River, but because of his family's decline, he was finally squeezed out.Although it is difficult to integrate into it now, it is not impossible.

Immediately, he filled the two teacups on the table with tea, and said seriously: "After that day, I'm afraid I will wrong you again, I will replace the wine with tea, and I propose a toast to you!"

In the next time, the implementation of "Tan Ding into Mu" will be implemented, and Wang Shouyuan will continue to stand in the gentry faction.

It seemed very simple, but Song Gongwen knew very well that it was the last thing the other party wanted to do.

Especially at critical times, he had to write a letter to His Majesty and speak for the gentry.

It is conceivable that this will be a torment.

"It's nothing, I'm used to it, but brother Gongwen, it won't be easy."

Wang Shouyuan smiled and continued: "If you implement the method of dividing the land into the mu, there must be many gentry objecting and obstructing it. When I am critical, I will also submit a letter to your majesty with the gentry. Brother Gongwen, your reputation will definitely not be too good. .”

Hearing this, Song Gongwen burst out laughing.

On the way to Longyang Mansion.

He knew Wang Shouyuan before.

Not to mention the writing of the article, the writing is also top-notch, and the words are also very sharp.

In short, it's a set of swear words.

Knowing that the other party has submitted a letter, he will definitely not keep his hand.

You can write whatever is ugly.

Of course, he didn't care, he just said: "Brother Shouyuan can bear it for five years, and still stick to his original intention."

"Not only that, even the teacher can establish prestige for His Majesty, regardless of the name behind him, and His Majesty, knowing that the gentry is difficult to eradicate, but has no hesitation, agreed to the national policy of distributing the family to the mother, what I have endured, compared to the teacher. What is it, Your Majesty?"

"Yes, the teacher has dedicated everything in his life."

Wang Shouyuan muttered to himself, and immediately continued: "I also admire the matter of His Majesty's promotion of the distribution of households into the mu to deal with the gentry."

"At the beginning, the late emperor also had this idea, but because he cared too much, he never carried it out. In fact, I can also understand the late emperor. After all, one hair can affect the whole body. However, the current majesty, who has only been three years old, has such courage. You are really Mingjun!"

"Brother Shouyuan is right. Your Majesty is indeed a Mingjun." Song Gongwen said: "I can hardly imagine how imposing your Majesty is."

"From King Yan's establishment of the feudal domain, establishment of the East Factory, to the distribution of the households into the mu, His Majesty's series of measures are all vigorous and resolute."

"It is conceivable that His Majesty is an emperor who is determined to break all the old systems for the sake of the country."

"As long as there is anything beneficial to the imperial court, His Majesty will not hesitate, and do it as soon as he thinks of it!"

Think... do it?

Hear this.

Wang Shouyuan was suddenly taken aback.

Yes, if I can become such a person, how great would it be?

Immediately, he turned his head and said: "Over the years, I have been doing things that I don't want to do. Every time I look at myself late at night, I feel more and more uncomfortable, and my conscience is always bad."

"Brother Gongwen's words today, saying that His Majesty will do what he thinks, inspired me a lot, and I realized a truth, the unity of knowledge and action!"

Unity of knowledge and action?

Song Gongwen's eyes were slightly confused.

Because it was the first time he heard such a proposition, he immediately said: "Brother Shou Yuan, what is the unity of knowledge and action?"

"To be honest, Brother Gongwen, it's just a preliminary idea." Wang Shouyuan laughed.

"If you have a deeper understanding in the future, I will discuss it with Brother Gongwen."

Only through years of insincere days.

Only then did I understand the rareness of the unity of knowledge and action.

This is a truth realized by Wang Shouyuan alone, but he is also very vague, but he thinks that one day he will be able to fully understand it.

On the opposite side, although Song Gongwen was curious, he didn't ask any more questions, but was trying to understand the meaning of that sentence.

But soon, the two stopped talking about this topic.

Because now is the most important thing.

It's just a small amount of money.

Wang Shouyuan thought for a while, and said: "According to the teacher's understanding, the reason why His Majesty chose a pilot site is to use Longyang Mansion as a demonstration, so that the people can understand the benefits brought by the sharing of people into the mu, and use the general trend of the world to force it Gentleman."

"But this kind of thing is very difficult to achieve, especially in Longyang Mansion. Although the common people hate the gentry, they still rely on the gentry to reward them."

"How to let the common people understand the benefits of sharing the benefits of sharing their income with each other, but on our side, I don't know how to do it."

Having said that, he continued: "Brother Gongwen, what can I do?"

Hearing this, Song Gongwen raised his eyebrows.

The gentry seem to be a mess on weekdays.

But if his own interests are threatened, he will definitely report to the group to keep warm.

These, Song he is familiar with history books, very clear about this.

In fact.

There are also some emperors in the history books who are well aware of the dangers of the gentry to the court, but they can't solve it.

The fundamental reason is that the local discourse power is all in the hands of the gentry.

The so-called mountains are high and the emperor is far away, even if the original intention of the court is good.

But the point is that someone needs to promote it.

The gentry who have the right to speak are the people closest to the people at the bottom.

They know that distributing money to their mothers will harm their vital interests, will they tell the truth?

Will not.

Perhaps, the gentry will make a big deal of the disadvantages of this matter, and even give some benefits, so that the people will stand on their side and oppose the court.

Let me ask, do the people believe in His Majesty the Emperor who is far away in the capital, or do they believe in the gentry standing in front of them?

The answer is obvious!

Therefore, this is the biggest challenge to be faced in the implementation of the apportionment.

Song Gongwen understood this.

Can really think of any solution.

As the magistrate, Wang Shouyuan was able to say a few words and gained the trust of the people.

It's just that he needs to stand in the gentry faction, so this kind of thing must never be done.

For a moment, both of them looked at each other with sad faces.

"Two adults!"

But at this time, a yamen servant came in and said respectfully: "There is a gentleman outside who calls himself Dongchang Wang Jin, and he said he wants to see Lord Song."

Chapter 74 Three Ways Convergence

The East Factory was established.

Although there was a wave of waves.

But now, it is still only in the capital, and it has not been completely spread.

The yamen servant naturally didn't understand what Dongchang was, but he could also see that Wang Jin was a big man and he didn't dare to neglect.

So he hurried in to send a message.

But for Dongchang.

Wang Shouwei, as an official of the imperial court, must have known about it.

In addition, I also heard that Wang Jin has been doing things in Longyang Mansion recently.

Especially today, they directly led people to surround Li's house, creating an uproar.

But he didn't like the Li family, so he ignored it.

In addition, knowing Dongchang is different from ordinary institutions.

So almost nothing was done.

But Wang Shouyuan didn't understand what the other party was here for, and he was looking for Brother Gongwen.

However, just when doubts arose in his heart, Song Gongwen next to him had a bright eye, and immediately said: "Brother Shouyuan, I know this man, Mr. Wang, and he is His Majesty's confidant. There must be something important tell."

He had a feeling that perhaps the prince's trip was just for the sake of the family.

"Oh? Your Majesty's confidant?" Wang Shouyuan nodded, signaling for the yamen servant to invite him in.

The yamen servant got the order and immediately turned around and left.

Soon.

Wang Jin walked into the inner hall alone.

Those who came with him were waiting outside.

"Wang Gonggong!" Song Gongwen saw the other party, and immediately walked forward and cupped his hands.

"Old Song Ge, you are the head of the country and a cabinet scholar, so you must not do this." Wang Jin quickly stopped the other party from saluting, with a smile on his face.

Now he is in charge of the East Factory, he is also the admiral of the Rites, and he is trusted by His Majesty, so he is extremely powerful.

But Wang Jin kept in mind where his current status came from, so he was very humble.

Let alone in front of Song Gongwen.

Song Gongwen smiled, and immediately said: "The prince is here, what's the matter?"

Having said that, my intuition told me that the other party might have come here because of all the money.

"This..." Wang Jin glanced at Wang Shouyuan next to him, but did not speak.

He didn't know him well, and he didn't trust him.

Don't talk nonsense.

"Please rest assured, Wang Gonggong. Brother Shouyuan is a trustworthy person. He will work with me to carry out the promotion of sharing the property with each other." Song Gongwen naturally noticed this, and immediately opened his mouth to reassure the other party.

"So that's it, Lord Wang." Wang Jin cupped his hands and said, "This is the latest oral order from His Majesty."

"It is said to let our family pay attention to how the common people react when it is carried out in the mu."

After speaking, he took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Song Gongwen.

Then he continued: "Xiao Lizi, who serves His Majesty, said that His Majesty is very concerned about this, and he made a special confession."

His Majesty specifically explained?

Song Gongwen heard the words, and then looked carefully.

Sure enough, what was said above was to let Dongchang pay attention to the implementation of the "Tan Ding into Mu", as well as the common people.
