Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Seeing his father's acquiescence, Zhu Cixi understood everything instantly...

No wonder Kongfu must die!

Is this a massacre by the Qing soldiers?

This is because the emperor wants him to die!

If the Confucius family is not dead, who can guarantee that no one will rise up in Qilu?

Who allowed them to occupy all the land in Qilu?

Since Confucius did not leave a way for the people to survive, then use a big knife to cut out a way for the people to survive!

Only when Confucius is gone can the king of Tang carry out land inventory in Qilu!

Looking at the huge crowd of people on the street in the distance, Zhu Cixiang had an idea and suddenly understood everything.

"So, my father deliberately kept Jiangnan and drove the Donglu southward just to investigate the fields in Jiangnan?"

"That's just one of the reasons."

Zhu Youjian smiled:

"Since the founding of the Kingdom of China, there have been many officials in the south of the Yangtze River.

How can one become an official without purchasing property?

Over the years, even I don’t know how much land in the world has been replaced by the master of Jiangnan!

What's more, they work as officials everywhere and manage family property everywhere.

The land property of Jiangnan gentry is not limited to this corner of Jiangnan.

As the saying goes, they cannot be poor for more than three generations, but they have been rich for generations, and they have spawned many local wealthy families.

In the imperial court, they were in charge of the cabinet and controlled the affairs of the court.

Among the people, they exploited and devoured the resources that the people of the country depended on for survival.

For these wealthy families, Jiangnan is their backbone and the world is their roots. "

Zhu Youjian stood up and pointed around:

"Take the relatively distinctive Huizhou merchants among the wealthy families in Jiangnan.

In this world, which state capital does not have a store owned by Hui people? No industry for them?

What's more, the entire Jiangnan wealthy family?

How much land and resources do they occupy in this world? "

Zhu Cixi shook his head.

He has been in prison for half a year.

He naturally understands the report from the Taxation Department.

In Henan alone, Huizhou pawnshops have not only spread throughout the province, but even have several in one county!

This is a shop.

What about the land?

Historically, there was no wealthy family that did not purchase land.

Even a small scholarly family who cannot reach the stage will secretly purchase land and set up a farm as long as they have some brains.

What's more, Huizhou merchants can do business all over the place!

(Note: There are misunderstandings about the gentry class of scholars and above in ancient times.

Buying a village: Even in the Republic of China, wealthy people would still buy land and set up manors. This was called buying a village.

My old man is not even a scholar. After selling his land and buying more than 100 speed machines at one time, he still has three Zhuangzi at home. He has shops in two neighboring counties in Hubei and Henan provinces. On the streets near Zhuangzi , and weaving factories.

This is someone who didn’t even take the exam to be a scholar!

The head of my second grandma’s natal family was a scholar. After the family failed, they still had thousands of acres of land.

I know of another Juren whose family owns the earliest fleet of steam engines in Hubei Province.

The gentry was a privileged class in ancient times, especially in the Ming Dynasty.

The so-called poor scholars are relative to the higher class, but they don’t mean they are really poor!

The term "poor scholar" was not until the Qing Dynasty "gentlemen and gentry all paid for themselves" and the abolition of the gentry's privileges. Only then did the frustrated gentry borrow Ming Dynasty novels to package "poor scholar" into the subconscious understanding of today's people.

Before the Qing Dynasty, not to mention scholars, even if you were a child, as long as you didn't study hard, your family would be a small rich man.

I searched three ancient books about "poor scholar". If you don't believe me, please read——

1. "The Romance of the West Chamber" by Wang Shifu of the Yuan Dynasty, the first book and the second fold:

"The favor of a poor scholar is only half a piece of paper."

Does this mean that scholars are poor?

What I'm saying is - the scholar's favor is equivalent to half a piece of paper.

This is a self-effacing statement.

Then, the person took out one or two grains of silver and gave it to others, which was equivalent to half a house in the county!

2. "Moon Worship Pavilion" by Guan Hanqing in the Yuan Dynasty, third fold:

"When will a poor scholar become successful?"

The person who said this was Wang Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of War.

When people look at a scholar, they naturally think of him as a "poor scholar"!

3. "Jade Garden Surrender" by Zhu Suchen in the Qing Dynasty:

"In a poor scholar's house, he doesn't have to work as a slave, but he has copper coins to buy and live in!"

This scholar was the scholar in his courtyard who was favored by King Ning.

Is it a poor scholar to be robbed by King Ning?

From the above three small examples, everyone should understand the position of the gentry.

This is the privileged class!

People who are linked to the government!

Can you be poor? )

Zhu Cixiang shook his head and smiled bitterly:

When the king of Tang Dynasty inspected the fields, so many large pieces of fertile land were recovered without any effort...

Who is the master behind it? Do you still have to guess?

Isn't it because the real owner of the fields is in Jiangnan that the king of Tang can be so relaxed!

In other words, the reason why my father drove the Qing army into Jiangnan was not to regain Jiangnan.

It’s for these privileged classes!

Sure enough, Zhu Youjian confirmed Zhu Cixiang’s guess:

"I will not invade Jiangnan within three to five years.

Those are the things we do.

Only in a hostile state can I take back all my property without any pressure!

If they surrender, how much more effort will I have to expend if I want to clean them up?

Once Jiangnan surrenders, even the emperor will be powerless.

Unless you are willing to kill the world again..."

“My son, you should remember that politics is not a dinner party.

This is a bloody fight to the death!

In the Jinluan Palace, it seems to be lofty, but in fact, there are swords and guns at your feet.

If you can't see the situation clearly and distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, the people who don't have enough to eat or wear and don't have warmth will tear you into pieces! "

Zhu Youjian patted the prince on the shoulder:

“Son, you should remember that even if all the officials are cut off, in the blink of an eye, there will still be a large number of people willing to be officials.

Just like Southern Han Dynasty.

Even though the only people who can serve as officials are eunuchs, there are still a large number of officials!

The emperor's roots are among the people.

Only when the head of Guizhou is safe can the emperor be safe.

If the gentry is safe, the emperor will be done with it. "

Zhu Cixiang looked solemn.

He knew that his father was once again teaching him the emperor's mental skills.

Wang Lian also vaguely mentioned this to him last year.

Immediately, Zhu Cixi carefully wrote down:

"Father, don't worry, my child will remember it."

The tender face is full of sincerity.

Zhu Cixiang said this from his heart.

Since arriving in Handu, this very different Ming Dynasty has already made Zhu Cixi understand what is the root of the empire.

Only when the people are safe can the country be safe!

Zhu Youjian sighed:

“My son, this is a world of great contention.

Before I left, I let you read the true records of Taizu and Chengzu.

My son already knows the reason why Luzon did not set up a commander but was incorporated into the vassal system.

Although the Zhao family did not escape, Lu Zili raised the banner of the Song Dynasty.

When Chengzu asked Zheng He to sail to the Western Seas, commanders were set up everywhere. Even in Tianzhu (India), the Demasas Xuanwei Division was established.

Why is Luzon at the doorstep missing?

Is it because Chengzu couldn't see the importance of Luzon?

No!

——Just because they are our own people from China! "
