History of Cannon Fodder Struggle [Qing]

"Chen Jiahe, thirty-two years old, from Shaoxing, went out to travel and study when he was young, well, he disappeared after sending a letter eight years ago..."

Hong Kyung read the information found on the paper.

Ever since he noticed that Mrs. Chen had a problem, he knew that the breakthrough was on that Mrs. Chen.

It's been a few days now, and yougui didn't ask Mrs. Chen about the rebels, so he planned to start with Chen Jiahe. The reason why Mrs. Chen cooperated with those rebels was nothing more than because of her son's disappearance.

The most important thing is the Chen House. The current male master of the Chen House is an official in the court. This time, whether the male master knows it or not, his wife has been suspected of contacting the rebels. Even if the official can still be confirmed, he will be transferred. to irrelevant sectors.

But these are not what Hong Kyung should care about. He just wants to find out the news about those rebels from Mrs. Chen’s mouth, and then continue to dig deeper from this line to find out who these rebels are connected with in Beijing.

Knowing his identity with a clear goal is not something ordinary people can do, at least they can get in touch with him on weekdays.

Hong Jing didn't go to many places on weekdays. One was Changchun Garden, and the other was the college. People who could come and go in and out of these two places at will had certain powers. Such people had connections with rebels. That's not good news.

Hong Kyung still has this bit of political sense.

But looking at this message, Hong Kyung found something suspicious. Ordinarily, Chen Jiahe was just an ordinary son of an official family, why did he suddenly disappear?

After the disappearance, not only did they not report to the authorities, but they also covered up the news. If Mrs. Chen hadn't made such a big commotion this time, probably no one would have known about it.

For some reason, Hong Kyung felt that Mrs. Chen must know something.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have interrupted her directly because she was afraid that Mrs. Chen would reveal something.

"Come here." Hong Kyung suddenly called out while sitting at the table.

Almost the next moment, a shadow figure appeared beside him, and the shadow figure immediately knelt down.

Holding the paper in his hand, Hong Jing ordered while looking at it: "Keep an eye on the Chen family, and be sure to dig out all the things that the Chen family has concealed."

Although Hong Jing has some influence, it was entrusted to him by Er Niang for him to practice.

He is not as powerful as his mother-in-law.

If Hong Kyung could contact his mother-in-law this time, he would have known about the situation in the Chen family. He was running around like a blind man like now.

Hong Jing continued to move, but the Chen Mansion could sit still. Even though the outside of the mansion was surrounded by officers and soldiers, inside it was the same as usual, living its own life.

But it was this kind of composure that made Hongkyung feel more and more that there was something wrong with the Chen family. Even if a normal person did nothing, but surrounded by so many people, he should be a little panicked.

However, Chen's family acted as if nothing had happened, and this was the biggest problem.

A large number of officers and soldiers gathered in Shaoxing Mansion, which seemed a little chaotic. Fortunately, the people in the city found that these officers and soldiers did not do anything to disturb the people, and quickly returned to calm.

The place where the Chen Mansion lives is basically the mansions of rich and noble families, and there are no ordinary people. After the Chen Mansion was besieged here, the other mansions on the other side also closed their doors, for fear that the Chen Mansion would do something to implicate the These neighbors.

So the things here did not attract the attention of the people in the city.

On this day, a large boat passed the ferry in Shaoxing. The boat was very luxuriously built, and it was full of officers and soldiers.

As soon as the boat docked, it attracted crowds of people on the shore.

Master Jiu held a fan in his hand, making a suave appearance, but unfortunately, he has a big heart and fat body, no more flamboyant posture than when he was young, and with a fat body, holding a fan looks a bit wretched.

After getting off the boat, Hong Jing waved the fan in his hand, and told the officials next to him, "Where is the Shaoxing government office, lead the way."

Immediately, the official sent someone to carry the sedan chair, Jiuye got on the sedan chair, and the official sent the crowd away.

After getting on the sedan chair, Master Jiu still thought about whether he should comfort him or scold him when he saw Hong Jing later.

Before, he was busy catching private salt, so he ran away without paying attention, but he was directly taken away.

When Jiu Ye first heard the news, he was so frightened that his ghosts froze.

If the news of Hongjing's rescue had not spread to Haining very quickly, Master Jiu would probably have mobilized troops and came to find someone by himself.

The sedan chair stopped and turned, and arrived at the government office in a blink of an eye.

After stopping at the gate of the government office, Master Jiu lifted the curtain of the sedan chair and came down.

At the same time, the prefect of Shaoxing had already received the news and hurriedly brought people over to greet him.

"You don't need to salute, take me to meet people today." Jiu Ye raised his hand and directly avoided the salute from the Shaoxing magistrate and others, and then walked into the gate of the mansion.

The Shaoxing magistrate hurriedly led the way.

When I came to the backyard, I turned a door and came to a yard.

There was someone guarding the gate of the courtyard, and that person recognized Master Jiu immediately and saluted him.

Master Jiu raised his hand and asked him, "Is Brother San inside?"

The man cupped his hands and replied, "Back to Lord Baylor, our elder brother is here."

At this time, Hong Jing in the room also heard the movement outside, he got up and went to the yard, and saw Lord Jiu at the door at a glance.

"Ninth Uncle?"

Master Jiu turned his head to look at him, immediately burst into a big smile, walked into the courtyard, he patted Hong Jing on the shoulder, "Good boy, I heard that you were taken by the rebels? How about this paragraph?" Time didn't suffer, did it?"

Hong Kyung seemed a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the topic: "Could it be that Uncle Jiu is here to find his nephew?"

Master Jiu patted him on the back and said, "The boy was arrested, how can I sit still and come to you, who else can I look for?"

Hearing the news that Hong Kyung was rescued, he would always run over to take a look, to ease his heart.

No matter whether there was any filth between him and the fourth child, these juniors were always their own children, and Master Jiu couldn't ignore them.

Hong Kyung coughed violently, and said helplessly, "It's my nephew's fault. I miscalculated the opponent's strength and put myself in danger."

Immediately afterwards, he asked again: "Uncle Jiu, you came here suddenly at this time, there will be no problem with Haining!" It was the time of martial law, and there was a lot of panic in Haining, Uncle Jiu suddenly left at this time, and the news leaked out , I don't know if those salt lords will take the opportunity to find a loophole.

Master Jiu waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Li Wei is still here. Haining has already set up a net, so it doesn't matter if I leave temporarily."

Hong Kyung breathed a sigh of relief, and then invited Lord Jiu to enter.

As for the people who followed Master Jiu, they were all stopped outside the gate of the courtyard.

Master Jiu sat on the stool loudly, "Tell me about the situation here."

Even though Master Jiu is not very conspicuous among the brothers, it is impossible to doubt the ability of the Supreme Emperor to educate his sons. At least so far, none of those who have grown up are mediocre.

The same is true of Master Jiu. Although he is more interested in doing business, some conspiracies and tricks still cannot be hidden from his eyes.

Hong Jing revealed all the things he discovered during this time, Master Jiu patted his stomach as big as a watermelon, then touched his chin and said, "Based on what you say, there are indeed some problems in the Chen residence."

Then he looked at him again, with a suspicious expression on his face, "I remember that the imperial concubine has a capable man named Zheng Jun in the south of the Yangtze River. This person is also well-known in the south of the Yangtze River. Let him inquire about these things?"

Hong Jing froze for a moment, his mind buzzed, yes, why didn't he think of using Er Niang's hands to check these news.

It should be impossible to find out. It can only be said that there are not many people in Jiangnan, but Er Niang is different. Er Niang has been in Jiangnan for more than ten years. He doesn't believe that there is any news that can be hidden from Er Niang. .

Patting his forehead, Hong Jing showed annoyance on his face. The reason why Qian didn't find out Chen Jiahe's information in more detail was nothing more than the person at the sticky pole. There is not that much capacity at the sticky stick.

But there is no such thing as his mother at the sticky pole. Hengyang's business is all over the country. If it is really necessary to investigate deeply, Chen Jiahe's details can probably be investigated as clearly as possible.

Thinking of this, Hong Jing stood up and bowed his hands to Lord Jiu, "Uncle Jiu, excuse me, if you have something to do, you have to go out for a while."

Master Jiu still doesn't know where he wants to go, just as he also wants to find out how deep the imperial concubine's power is in the south of the Yangtze River, thinking of this, he got up and said: "Okay, it just so happens that the case of private salt needs Zheng Zheng Sir, provide some information, and we will go together."

Hong Kyung agreed without thinking too much.

As soon as the two of them left the hospital, a message stopped them.

"Third elder brother, there is a letter from Beijing."

When Hong Kyung heard this, he quickly accepted the letter.

After opening it, he checked it carefully, and then a trace of luck appeared on his face, before he handed the letter to Master Jiu.

"Uncle Jiu, it seems that we don't need to go out. The capital has already found out the situation here, and asked you to act according to the letter."

Master Jiu took the letter, skipped over the information that had nothing to do with him, and when he saw the last part, his brows furrowed deeply.

He didn't understand why the higher-ups asked him to find out the news of various salt merchants, but privately tightened the salt outside and loosened the inside.

This is simply to open an unimpeded path for Yan Xiao.

However, this letter was indeed written in the fourth child's handwriting, so even if Master Jiu doubted it, he could only follow his advice.

Returning the letter to Hong Jing, Master Jiu said with a serious face: "You have also seen what is said in the letter, and I can't stay here any longer. The affairs of Shaoxing will be handled by Hangzhou. Are you going to Hangzhou? Or follow me to Haining?"

Hong Jing thought for a while, and said, "My nephew is going to Hangzhou, so I won't go to Haining to make trouble for Uncle Jiu." He still wanted to investigate the rebels to the end, and he didn't want to give up halfway, and he was able to intervene only when he went to Hangzhou this matter.

Master Jiu nodded without questioning his choice, "Okay, then we'll separate now, and I have to hurry back to Haining to make arrangements."

The two parted ways, Master Jiu left Shaoxing in his luxurious boat, while Hong Jing followed Yougui to escort Mrs. Chen to Hangzhou.

What happened in the south of the Yangtze River did not affect the capital, and the capital was still operating in an orderly manner. Probably few people even knew about Hong Kyung's disappearance.

During this period of time, the entire capital city can be said to be jittery, and I don’t know if the imperial court suddenly became overwhelmed, and suddenly announced the prohibition of whoring and gambling under any circumstances, and it allowed the common people to report.

Three days after the news spread, all the casinos closed their doors timidly, and some large casinos were still open and watched.

After three days, the imperial court dispatched the Eight Banners to welcome the guests, and directly swept the entire capital. All casinos involved in gambling were sealed, and people involved in drugs were arrested. All money found in the casinos was confiscated.

All of a sudden, the investors behind the big casino's heavy losses are secretly complaining.

Could it be that the small casinos who were dubious before were thankful that they closed it early, otherwise they would not be as unbelieving as those big casinos, and they were also the ones who were put in prison this time.

The ban on drugs and prostitution in the capital instantly became a hot topic in the entire capital.

Of course, these two things are far away from ordinary people, and some families who have been deeply affected by gambling are applauding.

As for the arrest of the prostitutes in the brothel, it was the women in the backyards who clapped their hands.

There are already many women in the family, but the men still want to steal sex. This time there is no brothel, where do those men want to go?

In short, after these two places were closed, the atmosphere in the whole capital flourished, and the imperial court clearly stipulated that anyone involved in money transactions was considered prostitution, and the people were encouraged to report, or if the report was confirmed to be correct, they would have a reward.

Although saving a lot of money, it is very attractive to those who have no financial income.

Ask the people in the entire capital city, especially the aunts and beggars who know the surrounding alleys like the palm of their hands. These people can detect which yards are not right.

For these rewards, many prostitutes hiding in the alleys were arrested.

All of the prisons in the entire capital are overcrowded, and Shuntian Mansion has a heavy load of trial cases day and night. Those involving small amounts of gambling will be fined by dividing 50 yuan, and those involving large amounts of money will be fined by ten days of confinement. Yuan fine.

As for those bosses who run casinos, they locked up their families on the grounds of gathering people to gamble, planning to gather more people and eventually exile them to the New World.

Some people were dissatisfied, and the court suddenly revised the law, and they were arrested and investigated according to these laws, so they naturally refused to accept it.

However, the court also had its own reasons. After announcing the law, it gave them three days to rectify it. They did not take it seriously. How could they blame the yamen?

The imperial court's laws on these two cases were quickly passed on to other provinces. Knowing that the capital city had investigated the cases according to the law, these people did not dare to hold back, and they all followed the laws.

Some well-informed people had already received the news from the capital, and quickly shut down the two businesses involved in prostitution and gambling, and thus escaped disaster.

In the end, the yamen in various places only caught small casinos and little-known brothels that were still kept in the dark.

Those who survived the catastrophe still wanted to take a breather and wait for a while before returning to their old jobs. However, these people never thought that the imperial court had already made up their minds to suppress these two industries.

Since then, these two items have not returned to the eyes of the world, and they can only sneak in like the mouse in the dark.

A large number of women were gathered in Shuntian Mansion's hands, and some of them made up their minds, had a good relationship, and even planned to pay to redeem themselves.

Without exception, these people have all run into trouble. Shuntian Mansion is not qualified to redeem these people, because the imperial court has ordered the cancellation of their slave status, and any contract of selling their lives will not be recognized by the imperial court.

That is to say, even if a person signs a deed of selling his body and sells it to others, he can go back on his word at any time, because the yamen will not recognize the contract if it gets into trouble with the yamen.

This weird law has just begun to pass, and no one has noticed it yet, but it has already attracted many people to find ways to make money from it, such as selling themselves and running away after getting money.

It is useless for the master to get the contract and go to the yamen to sue the fugitive slave. The yamen does not recognize this kind of contract on human trafficking.

This kind of thing happened a lot, and it was reported in the newspapers, and many people took it as a warning, knowing that human trafficking is untouchable.

Shuntian Mansion has handled many similar cases, although it will not repeat the same mistakes.

It is only said that these women are free, and they can leave at will after paying the fine, but they cannot be taken as concubines.

The imperial court has plans to formulate a new marriage law. The new marriage law is monogamous and the multiple concubine system is abolished. If the husband and wife are not in harmony, they can get divorced. After that, marriage will be irrelevant.

The new marriage law is still being negotiated, and there is still a long way to go before it is announced.

However, there is a new law now. In order to adapt to the current social situation, anyone who takes a concubine after marrying a wife needs to pay taxes, and a man is only allowed to take one concubine.

In the past, the extra concubines had to pay taxes, and they were not legitimate children, so they were not eligible to inherit the inheritance.

This is mainly to reduce the number of concubines, and the imperial court uses its own means to adjust the balance between men and women.

A man who occupies a large number of women is equivalent to occupying a large amount of resources, which inevitably leads to the fact that some men cannot marry wives.

Not being able to marry a wife affects the plans of the imperial court. Now the Qing Dynasty urgently needs population growth to occupy more land.

So no matter how many protests there are below, we have to give way to a national policy.

The marriage law has not yet been issued, and the concubine tax will be issued first.

Even the emperor has to pay taxes, not to mention the ministers and people below.

The fourth master kept this matter from the Supreme Emperor, and paid his own tax and the Supreme Emperor's tax together.

Although the concubine tax is only paid once, it still requires a lot of money.

All of a sudden, many people who got the news planned to turn the concubine's house into a secret, but the tax for a good concubine's household registration is indispensable.

If the wealthy family does not want to transfer their concubines to the public to pay taxes, the children born of these concubines will not be eligible to inherit the family property in the future.

This is an extremely important thing for a concubine.

If the concubine is not allowed to become a regular, the concubine has a free body and can leave freely.

If the concubine is registered on one's own household registration after the child is born, then this is a crime of concealment, and not only has to pay concubine tax, but also has to be fined according to the number of years.That is to say, the longer the concealment period, the greater the fine.

Anyway, the court is trying its best to get money from the pockets of the rich.

As for officials, concubines are not allowed at all, and must be implemented in accordance with the Future Marriage Law.

That is to say, the Marriage Law is currently implemented among officials, and will be extended to the people in the future.

For the time being, there was no movement in the court, but only a few rumors were revealed, but just this little rumor made the entire court officials panic.

I don't know whether the imperial court will start with this area or with the next generation.

In short, all the children in the family who aspired to be officials sent away their concubines.

Now it depends on when the court plans to implement it.

On the side of Shuntian Mansion, it has been learned that after the new year, the concubine tax will be implemented throughout the Qing Dynasty.

So it is natural to know that even these adopted children cannot be called concubines at this time.

Who will pay large taxes for these concubines.

Stopping these rich men from robbing people is also for their own good, so as not to bring trouble on the family.

The sweeping sweeps by the imperial court not only covered the capital, but also the entire Zhili.

This operation took more than a month.

Many prostitutes who were hidden in the dark in the Fengyue nunnery were caught out.

The governor of Zhili even led a team to clean up, and all of a sudden, at least tens of thousands of women were wiped out.

Many people in the folk gasped, but nowadays, many people can't even get a wife. They didn't expect so many women to be hidden in those places.

If they grow up and get married safely, how many children can tens of thousands of women give birth to, and how much money can they receive from the court?

Fortunately, the imperial court was merciful, they didn't touch these women, and even fined them very little.

Those who are willing to marry, let the official media introduce them.

Those who don't want to marry can enter the factory to support themselves, which can be regarded as making a contribution to society.

After arranging these people, the imperial court cleared the entire prison in Zhili, and all the prisoners who were not guilty of death were gathered together and prepared to be packed and sent to the New World.

It turned out that those who were waiting for the news, and planned to see how the court would punish those who opened the casino, whether they would directly punish them with felonies, or find an excuse to make money.

I just learned that these arrested people are going to be sent to the New World to mine, and those who were planning to return to the rivers and lakes all retreated back.

They are used to enjoyment, but they are not people who can bear hardships. It is better to let them die if they are allowed to mine.

These people would rather change their jobs than return to their old jobs, so that the imperial court could seize the opportunity to send them to the New World.

These people are very smart. They know that the imperial court is advocating the benefits of the New World in newspapers all day long, isn't it just to attract ordinary people to go there?

But such a barren land, how can there be prosperity in the city.

These people who are used to pleasure are naturally unwilling to go even if they are killed.

The Qing Dynasty began to prohibit gambling, which is fine for ordinary people, but for those gamblers, gambling addiction is not so easy to solve.

The casino was closed, and after a few days of idleness, these gamblers came out again, got together, and started gambling in twos and threes.

It would be fine if he was not denounced, but once he was denounced, the yamen rushed over with lightning speed.

The gambling money will be confiscated. Although the gambling money after the confiscation will be returned to the state treasury, they, the government servants, can also benefit from it.

The local government officials found that no matter whether it was a ban on gambling or whoring, it was simply a way for them to make money again.

They are very active in investigating these things.

The new gamblers were taken away directly, and the gamblers who were hiding in the depths were even more frightened out of their wits.

Don't talk about gambling this time, and don't even dare to go out.

In this way, a month passed slowly, and the whole atmosphere in Zhili could be said to have been swept away.

Of course, because of the problem of manpower, it is limited to the city and the countryside. No one knows if this kind of thing happened.

This has led some gamblers to turn their attention to the countryside and secretly gamble in the countryside.

Of course, the government turned a blind eye to these small fights. If the gambling money increases and the commotion becomes louder, don't blame the government for missing this good opportunity to catch big fish.

After the turmoil subsided, the capital returned to its former calm.

On this day, the imperial court suddenly issued an announcement, directly informing the people of the entire capital that they would start selling lottery tickets.

As soon as the new name of the lottery ticket came out, it immediately attracted the attention of many people, because it was a strange thing, and one could not tell anything from the name alone, and everyone was waiting for the newspaper to give them an answer.

And reporters from various newspapers flocked to Shuntian Mansion, wanting to get some information from Shuntian Mansion.

However, Shuntianfu only knew that the lottery was organized by the lottery company, so it could only push the opportunity of this appearance to the lottery company.

At the same time, a shop opened in every bustling street in the capital, and there was nothing else on the door plaque, only the words "Welfare Lottery".

And the nearby people suddenly found the word lottery, so they went in tentatively to see the lottery here. Is it the same as the lottery mentioned by the court?

If you want to say who is the most well-informed in the entire capital nowadays, it is the newspaper offices. Each newspaper official has cultivated a large number of informants. Watch it first, then tell the reporter later.

The opening of the Welfare Lottery Office this time soon spread to the ears of various newspaper offices.

These newspaper offices quickly ordered people to go to the lottery office closest to their newspaper offices.

After the popularization of the lottery management boss, the reporter generally understands the purpose of the lottery, which is to raise money from the general public. Of course, the money raised is free of charge.A ticket will be given, and this ticket is called a lottery ticket.The lottery will be drawn every other week, and anyone who matches the lottery numbers can win the jackpot.

This is the real way to make a big fortune with a small one, even if you don’t win, it doesn’t matter, two yuan won’t hurt your family, if you don’t win, it will be regarded as doing a good deed, and if you win, you can become a rich man in a flash.

The next day, various newspapers eloquently explained the usefulness of lottery tickets, which immediately attracted the interest of many people.

Many people don't care about the money. For them, two yuan is two days' tea money. If they use this money to buy a chance to become a rich man, it is not unacceptable to them.

For a while, many people who were able to accept new things abducted into the lottery hall to get a lottery ticket at night when they returned home.

After a week of sales, the amount of all the lottery tickets that went out was counted, and 1% of the amount was withdrawn as a bonus.

One day in June, the weather was fairly cool. This day was the time for the lottery, and the location of the lottery was set up in front of the capital city.

Because it was the first time the lottery was drawn, only *** could gather so many people.

In the future, the lottery will only be held at a fixed location, and people can be invited to participate at will.

For the first lottery draw, Minning planned to have a big one and let Si Ye advertise.

The emperor's personal advertisement will definitely stimulate the sale of the next lottery.

When fourth master received this important task, he still couldn't laugh or cry.

"How did you come up with the idea of ​​asking me to present this award?"

Min Ning said with a smile, "It is up to you to open this award, so that the people can believe that this award is real and approved by the court. If the operation is successful, the welfare lottery will continue forever, and it will take hundreds of years." It might even go down in the history books."

The fourth master was a little moved, but he still refused, "Will it be recorded in the annals of history, as an emperor, why not be afraid of not being recorded in the annals of history?"

But Minning disagreed and said: "Master, you don't like publicity too much. You are too far away from the common people. How can the common people know what kind of person you are? If someone smears those common people, how can you defend yourself?" ?" Minning began to create an image of the fourth master as being close to the people, preparing to make the royal family more down-to-earth.

In the past, she didn't have this idea, but in recent years, fourth master has actually implemented several policies for the benefit of the people.

These common people are all aware of it. After all, with the existence of newspapers, it is no longer possible for officials to cover the sky with one hand. Perhaps the officials have not been informed of many imperial court policies, and the newspapers have already reported them first.Under such circumstances, officials can't hide it even if they want to.

This led to Siye's reputation among the people getting better and better, and even the common people thought that Siye was a wise king and a good emperor.Even if the folks are somewhat smeared, the people are dubious.

Now is a good opportunity to publicize Fourth Master's wise and tall image. If the publicity is good, even if someone smears the emperor's reputation, the people will not believe it all at once, but suspect that the other party has ulterior motives.

And letting fourth master show up more among the people is to build his good image.

Nowadays, silver coins and gold coins with Si Ye's portrait are gradually being used, and even the latest hundred-yuan banknotes have begun to use Si Ye's profile picture.

Nowadays, fourth master's face can be said to be the most familiar face to the common people, even if he wants to make a private visit in a micro-service.

Everyone is familiar with fourth master's face, so it's time to create an image of him being close to the people.

Minning knows that what she is doing now is contrary to the common thinking of people in this era. Nowadays, people pay attention to hiding and clumsiness, and the dragon's face can't be looked directly at. The fourth master printed his head on the coins like this, but it is a very rebellious thing for the people to use matter.

However, none of the things that Fourth Master has done over the years is unexpected, and the endless new things are even more overwhelming. In this way, it is not too out of the ordinary to have his head printed on coins.

Fourth master shook his head and laughed, "As the emperor, how can anyone dare to discredit me?" Could it be that she doubted his brothers?

Lao Ba was stared at by him, and now he can't move, Lao Jiu has been transferred away, as for Lao Shi who has been following Lao Jiu, without Lao Jiu as the glue, Lao Shi and Lao Ba are not so close.

So fourth master couldn't think of anyone who could discredit him.

However, within a few years, Fourth Master was deeply slapped in the face, and a lot of news suddenly broke out among the people, all of which were negative news about Fourth Master.

At that time, fourth master was sincerely grateful, and did not reject Minning's proposal this day.

After being slandered on a large scale, Fourth Master began to appear in front of the public, and he would personally appear in any major projects.

Of course, the fourth master can't see the future for the time being, but Wu Minning is very clear. In her era, if there were too many TVs to clean up the fourth master's whitewashing, otherwise, in the eyes of future generations, she would definitely be a mean person. The ungrateful and narrow-minded emperor.

Of course, after coming to this era, Minning cannot deny that Fourth Master is indeed a narrow-minded person.

But this narrow-mindedness is aimed at outsiders, all of whom fourth master hates.

As for being mean and ungrateful, although fourth master was mean, he was never ungrateful. He wished to return [-]% to anyone who was kind to him.

Of course, what annoys him, he can't wait to get rid of it quickly.

With such a genuine temperament, it can be said that he is definitely not a good candidate for the emperor, but Min Ning has to admit that such a fourth master is more real and cute in her eyes.

She opened up her career and let the serious fourth master help her take care of the country, and it is because of this that Minning can rest assured that such a huge business under her will not be emptied by moths.

"Don't forget that what you did offended a lot of scholars. Qin Shihuang, who unified the six countries, angered the scholars because of burning books and burying Confucianism. Once Qin Shihuang died, these scholars would like to write him down with a pen. Become a sinner through the ages."

Minning began to count on her fingers, "Abolishing the treatment of scholars for thousands of years, offending local wealthy households, and canceling slave registration offended wealthy families in the entire Qing Dynasty, etc." After finishing the calculation, she was very happy. Nodding affirmatively, "You're done. How many of the existing scholars are supported by poor families? Most of them have surplus money, and you have offended them all. Can't you let them take up their pens and vent their anger?"

After listening to the fourth master, he began to doubt life. He asked in doubt, "If I remember correctly, didn't you propose these policies?"

Why did she, the instigator, no one know about it for a long time, and all the crimes were attributed to him?In this way, wouldn't he be her shield?
