    The emperor was angry.

    "I heard that some gentry rebelled and captured the county seat. The county magistrate fought hard and was captured, but refused to surrender and died for his country."

    The consumption of Shenxianju is not low. According to Fang Xing¡¯s advice to Mochou, it is on the upper-middle level, so those who dine there are either rich or expensive, at least not poor.

    "They are all dizzy. The world is peaceful. There is no sound of horse hooves in the north, and there are no Japanese pirates in the south. Even the Taixi people have been defeated. Why do those gentry want to rebel?"

    A fat and dark businessman said unscrupulously in the lobby: "I think they are all out of people's hearts. They feel that they should have stolen the taxes from the imperial court in the past. Even His Majesty can't get them back. This shows how courageous they are. Even Your Majesty can't get them back."  Didn¡¯t even take it seriously.¡±

    By lunch time, 70% of the diners were sitting in the lobby, most of them businessmen, but there was one table that looked like scholars.

    "Isn't that right? At that time, Xinghebo said that if they were given a chance, they might change the dynasty the next day."

    "Hush! Silence! Be careful of the people in Dongchang."

    The businessman was reminded by his companion and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly sat down and looked around.

    The faces of the scholars at the table turned red, and someone stood up and said, "What does Guo Hou's madness have to do with us? In the past, there were rebellions by warriors. Does that mean that all warriors are rebels?"

    This makes sense, but someone behind them muttered: "No matter how domineering the warriors are, they have never heard of hundreds of rebellions, right?"

    "Nonsense!"

    The scholar turned around and shouted: "Martial men are vulgar, how can they associate with us?"

    ¡°This was a habitual remark, and I guess it didn¡¯t even cross my mind. After saying it, the person regretted it.

    The status of Ming warriors is not that low nowadays, and martial arts continues to send students to various ministries. Now the Ming army is gradually showing signs of being elite, and its discipline is stricter.

    Therefore, it is taboo to say that warriors are vulgar.

    The lobby was quiet. Brother Yao stood behind the counter and looked at the two men who occupied a table on the left and were drinking.

    Those two people are from Dongchang, and they know the rules very well. They visited the house for the first time and only asked to borrow the Shenxian Residence to inquire about the news.

    Brother Yao wanted to refuse at that time, but Mochou asked someone to ask the Fang family, and an agreement was reached: Shenxianju would provide them with a venue, and their dining expenses would be calculated at 70%.

    This can be regarded as a happy event. It is said that An Lun in Dongchang said that Mo Chou was generous in doing things and was much better than some people.

    The so-called certain people naturally refer to Fang Xing.

    The two men stopped holding wine glasses. One of them glanced at the scholar, and then clinked glasses with his companion.

    The businessman who had spoken earlier was aroused by these words, and stood up again and said: "What is vulgar? Some people have said that the gentry is useless to the country, they are just rice bugs making dung, but the warriors can still protect the country. Can you  do what?"

    These words were somewhat vicious, and the metaphor of rice bugs making dung came from Fang Xing, so those scholars were very angry, but they knew that this was a restaurant run by Fang Xing's concubine, so they did not dare to argue unscrupulously.

    But the anger was not easy to dissipate. Everyone started eating again. Those scholars were in a depressed mood, so they inevitably raised their glasses frequently.

    After getting almost drunk, a scholar said: "Master Huo is a good person, but if he didn't want to clean up the fields, where would these disasters have happened!"

    Although those businessmen were happy to see the gentry being suppressed, they ultimately felt that this situation was somewhat meaningless.

    Many people think that clearing land and suppressing the gentry is a troublesome move.  The Ming Dynasty was rich all over the world, so what if it was taken over by them? At worst, they would just immigrate those farmers who couldn't survive overseas.

    The population will increase, and the fields in the Central Plains will become more and more valuable. This is the consensus of 'people of insight', so the land is being occupied now just to allow future generations to hold on to the ever-increasing wealth.

    Wealth is what everyone pursues. As for other things, we can only put them aside for the time being.

    Then the lobby gradually became quiet, with only the sounds of chopsticks touching dishes and teeth chewing food.

    ¡­¡­

    ¡°Let¡¯s do it!¡±

    Xie Jin is back. He is sweating profusely and is actually very happy that he has rarely seen in these years.

    Huang Zhong quickly got him a towel and made tea.

    "Mr. Xie, there is no need to be anxious. My uncle said in his letter that it is time to move to the south. Otherwise, when industry and commerce flourish, those gentry will merge in, and then they will become poisonous."??.  "

    Jie Jin put down the towel, took a sip from the tea cup, and said comfortably: "Didn't he say before that he would guide those gentry to do business and open workshops? Why don't you want to do it again? You must know that politicians must have determination, and the most taboo things are  Just think about this today, think about that tomorrow, and in the end achieve nothing.¡±

    Huang Zhong took out a letter and handed it to Xie Jin. Xie Jin read it slowly and said: "The household registrations must be slowly integrated, and the gentry must slowly let go and let them support themselves. Given preferential treatment, sooner or later these  Preferential treatment will become a cage, which not only restrains those gentry, but also restrains Ming Dynasty, what a good idea!"

    ¡­¡­

    "Uncle Xinghe said that the gentry used to think that they were helping the court to govern the people, but there have been some rumors in the court. In the future, the number of officials in various places will gradually increase. What does this mean?"

    Cao Jin didn¡¯t like this kind of role. After Cao An established himself in the Imperial College, he hoped to live out his old life, and then gradually grow old and die while watching the turmoil outside.

    But the energetic Fang Xing stirred up the situation in the south and even brought him in.

    It¡¯s impossible not to do it!

    He is grateful to Fang Xing, and because Cao An and Fang Xing have such a predestined relationship, there may be some unexpected gains in the future.

    That¡¯s why he was running around with his old bones.

    He felt that he would fall down in ten days at most, and then he would wake up and visit, and he would entrust Cao An to him, and finally die peacefully.

    But he found that he was getting more and more energetic and his voice was getting louder and louder.

    A group of scholars were listening carefully. They were all victims of this clean-up operation, and a lot of land was confiscated.

    Cao Jin was sitting upright, with his back straight, "It is unfair for the gentry to assist the government in management. From now on, it will be the exclusive responsibility of the officials. I would like to ask, where will the gentry go from then?"

    It was very hot in the lobby. The younger he was, the more he sweated. Cao Jin's forehead was only slightly wet.

    Seeing that these scholars were deep in thought, he continued to encourage: "At that time, those who have won the Jinshi will naturally be able to become officials, but only one person among tens of millions of people can win. What will the rest do? Sitting and living in vain? Which family has such financial resources?  ? If so, I think it¡¯s better to go into business, at least you can leave more money to your children and grandchildren.¡±

    His words are not high-sounding, they are very simple and they directly analyze the future path of scholars, which is convincing.

    These scholars are very confused, but Cao Jin has been very active recently, and his relationship with Fang Xing is somewhat fateful, so after he convened, many people came.

    "You can't figure out why we need to clean it up, but what should the people think?"

    Cao Jin knew Fang Xing¡¯s attitude towards Confucianism and saw that these scholars were confused, so he took a heavy blow.

    "Xing Hebo said that all the people in the world are His Majesty's subjects. There is no such thing as high or low. Now there is, and in the future it will gradually become closer. In the end there is no such thing."

    This was not the case when Fang Xing said these words to Cao An.

    ¡ª¡ªIn the end, there will definitely be high and low, but the goal of the DPRK should be to continuously close the distance between these people.

    " Constantly, this shows that Fang Xing understands human nature and people's hearts very well, and knows that the Peach Blossom Spring is just a fantasy and cannot be taken seriously.

    That¡¯s why the Ming Dynasty needed a strong and powerful emperor, otherwise those officials would ignore these distances.

    Cao Jin sighed slightly in his heart, and finally said: "Uncle Xinghe also said that we have to find our own way to survive in the future. Otherwise, how can we afford the support of thousands of people?"

    The gentry is really supported by all the people, but what does it get in return?

    Someone said: "I can't afford it, but at least I have to find a way to survive."

    "There's a way to survive!"

    Cao Jin thought of Fang Xing's words and smiled bitterly: "If we want to develop education after the imperial court, we will need a lot of teachers, and many places will also need people who have read books. I'm afraid the scholars won't be able to bear this shame!" (Notes)  Please visit our website: www.hlnovel.com
