The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

The entire Ming Dynasty, the two capitals and the thirteen provinces all started to move, and a monstrous huge wave began to break through.

In a certain place, several young scholars were sitting in a teahouse, talking loudly, and saw one of them, with delicate features and clear articulate words, he sneered and said:

"Confucius is a teacher of all ages. As a descendant of Confucianism, Confucian Mansion will not have any problems with his behavior. It is really abhorrent that this strict thief insults Confucian Mansion in such a way, and even forcibly deprives Confucian Mansion of more than 500 million acres of land. ! These land properties are normal purchases, and the land deeds are complete, why should they be deprived?"

"Yes, if Yan Song can snatch the property of the Confucian family today, wouldn't he be able to snatch our family property in the future? This trip must not be tolerated, and must be opposed!"

"Everyone should remember Wang Anshi's reforms in the Northern Song Dynasty. One of them is the "Fangtian Average Tax Law". I think this Yan Song is likely to use the Confucian government as an example, and he must prepare to implement a similar "Fangtian Average Tax Law"!"

As soon as this remark came out, all the scholars were shocked.

They knew about Wang Anshi's reform and the "Fang Tian Equal Tax Law".

The so-called Fangtian Average Tax Law is to order the whole country to clear the land, verify the landowners, and classify the land into five grades according to the quality of the soil as the basis for land tax collection.Its purpose is to clear up a large amount of concealed land, increase government revenue, and exempt some farmers from taxes and get benefits.

However, this reform was opposed by countless people (except ordinary people) from the very beginning, because it was cutting their flesh. Whose land is 100% open and aboveboard?Whose property is 100% registered?Once checked, the source of many properties will be untenable.

This is exactly the same as the current situation in Confucian Mansion.

This time, the group of people became even more panicked and denounced loudly.

"Wang Anshi's reform has already told us that the matter of Qingzhang's land property is doomed to fail. It is really abominable for this strict thief to go against the law!"

"Yan Bandit's trip 267 seems to be for the benefit of those common people, but in fact, the world is turned upside down, ignoring the king's law, and the rules and regulations are in ruins. In a few years, the Ming Dynasty will collapse!"

"Yes, that's right!"

"When Yan Song is in power, the Ming Dynasty is in danger!"

"Ignore the king's law and act perversely. As scholars, we must oppose it, even if we are smashed to pieces!"

"Since the Confucian Mansion invited me to wait, I will naturally go and support the Confucian Mansion!"

"Let's go together, let's put pressure on Mr. Yan Ge for the Confucian Mansion, we can't let the bandit Yan act so recklessly!"

The voices of these people are loud.

As scholars, they all have relatively good family backgrounds, and they have a lot of land at home.If Yan Song was allowed to deprive the Confucian mansion of its land, wouldn't it be possible for his own land to be deprived as well?

Absolutely not!

So they have to object!

Not only in this place, but also in other provinces, prefectures and prefectures, a large number of scholars are discussing this matter, and they are shocked and angry at Yan Song's behavior of investigating the properties of the Confucian Mansion.

Go against the grain!

There is no law!

Moreover, they are all worried that this kind of investigation will fall on their own heads in the future.

Therefore, it must be stopped!

(There may be four chapters in these two days, but the day after tomorrow should be able to get back to the 6th update.).

Chapter 112 Bao Zheng was bullied and cried [2]

All the scholars in the world were 'stimulated' by Yan Song's actions at this time.

Some people wept bitterly and went to the Confucian Temple to stamp their feet and beat their chests. It was more uncomfortable than dying Lao Tzu. They said that Yan Song denied the sages, betrayed the norms, perverted the law, and caused chaos.

One by one, the scholars shouted that Yan Song's act of confiscating the land must be stopped.

When the news first arrived in the capital, everyone in the capital was shocked. Thousands of scholars, including the Imperial College, went to various yamen to petition, weeping and complaining, and mourning.

Among them, the Qi, Chu, Zhejiang, Jin and Donglin parties, which represented the interests of business groups and landlords, were even more shocked and angry, and wrote letters to impeach Yan Song.

However, the most excited ones were those Qingliu, who threatened: "Wang Anshi's reform in the Northern Song Dynasty included Fang Tian's equal tax law, but it caused chaos in the world. Now, what does Yan Song want to do? Is he trying to emulate Wang Anshi?"

The memorials on Jiajing's desk began to pile up on the hill, causing his head to cramp from the pain. In the end, Jiajing just shook his hand, and I went to practice Taoism. You can handle it yourself.

As the temporary chief assistant, Zhang Bi was also in a state of desperation and didn't know how to deal with it.Yan Song is the first assistant, the emperor does not express his opinion, and the cabinet and Jiuqing have no way to deal with it.

At this time, Yan Song's memorial finally came to Zhang Bi's hands.

"Let Bao Zheng be the chief envoy of Shandong? Will he be promoted a little too quickly?"

At the same time, the leaders of the Qi, Chu, Zhejiang, Jin and Donglin parties all received Yan Song's letterhead, which stated that they could share part of the interests of the Confucian government with them, but as a price, these parties must force those scholars not to mess around. thing.And Yan Song also promised not to do this in other places.

The Confucian Mansion can be said to be as rich as an enemy country, and the land is only a part of it. There are also accumulated gold and silver, and the business groups supported. These are all big pieces~meat.

The Chu, Zhejiang, Jin and Donglin parties were all moved.

On the contrary, Qi Dang does not want other forces to enter Shandong, but the matter is a foregone conclusion, so Qi Dang can only hold its nose and admit it.

The next day, Zhang Bi convened a meeting of the cabinet and nine ministers. Bao Zheng's proposal to be appointed as the chief envoy of Shandong (second rank) was unanimously approved, and the proposal to dispose of 600 million land properties was also unanimously approved.

On the same day, after the cabinet signed the order and released it, all the officials in the capital were stunned.

what happened?How could the cabinet + Jiuqing agree to such a decision?

Not long after, most of the scholars were asked by the people above not to talk about this matter, and finally only a small number of scholars were filled with righteous indignation and cursed Yan Song for their own responsibility. Unfortunately, such people could not cause any disturbance at all.

And there are still more than ten days until the palace exam, where the candidates have no time to beep~beep, they are all starting to study hard for the exam.

Thus, the turmoil in the capital subsided like this.

In the next few days, various parties sent people home one after another to tell their scholars not to beep~beep. As a result, in all provinces, the righteous public opinion that was aroused by the Confucian government began to die down.
